Chapter 124 The smoke of gunpowder fills the sword king five
Damn, did you make a mistake?
The official road outside the wild road was in a mess. Dozens of mutilated corpses were scattered randomly, and the blood of the people dyed the ground a shocking dark red.
The most important thing is that the gang of horse bandits outside the pass who stayed in the wild hotel for one night, although the number was reduced by less than half at this time, the rest of the bandits were still full of energy and murderous intent. They urged their horses and swords to chase a group of officers and soldiers, wolves and wolves, and screamed incessantly.
.
Yuan Shikai was easy to recognize. At this time, he was in the prime of life, and his figure was not as fat as he would later be. He looked shrewd, but at this time he was a little panicked. He was protected by several soldiers and fled on horseback.
Behind him, the most powerful among the horse bandits outside the pass were laughing loudly with ferocious faces, and they were frantically chasing and killing Yuan Shikai and his soldiers.
It was not that there were no officers and soldiers who fought hard to resist, but their formation was completely broken up, and their personal martial arts skills were obviously not as good as those of the horse bandits outside the pass. They could only parry but had no power to fight back, and the situation suddenly became very dangerous.
"Brother Lei, hurry up and save people!"
Tan Sitong's urgent voice rang in his ears, and he saw that this man had already drawn his sword in his hand, but he did not rush out rashly. Instead, he found Lei Hu and asked him to take action, without saying whether Yuan Shikai was loyal or not.
"Rescue people!"
Shaking his head, Lei Hu waved his hand and ordered.
Since they had bumped into each other and had Tan Sitong's reputation, he naturally couldn't just watch and remain indifferent.
The gang of horse bandits outside the customs were so arrogant that they besieged and hunted down the rising stars of Beiyang on the official road from Tianjin to the capital. Do they really think that Beiyang is an easy persimmon?
In other words, at this time Yuan Shikai really didn't do anything that harmed the country and the people. On the contrary, based on his performance in Sanhan, he could be said to be a capable country, so it didn't matter if he was rescued.
Bang bang bang...
A burst of dull gunfire rang out, and the horse warriors outside the pass who were showing off their power and chasing the officers and soldiers were caught off guard and fell down, causing a panic and commotion among the horse bandits.
"No, that bastard over there has a gun!"
"Damn it, fight them!"
"..."
When the horse bandits outside the pass saw that they were elites of the militia, they were immediately furious. Especially the "Wild Wolf" who had been taught a lesson by Lei Hu, his eyes were bloodshot and angry, and he turned his horse's head sharply and rushed over, brandishing his saber.
There were nearly ten horse bandits who made the same move as him, each with a fierce look and murderous eyes, gritting his teeth and wanting to eat the elite militiamen who were attacking from behind.
Unfortunately, what greeted them was a row of gunshots.
"Stephen Wolf" received the most care. He was shot several times and fell to the ground with his eyes wide open in shock. Most of the other horse bandits who rushed back were killed or injured.
call!
I don't know when a long stick appeared in Lei Hu's hand, and he rushed out with the stick flying and roaring with vigor. Amidst the muffled sound of bang bang, the remaining frightened horse bandits were all knocked off their horses, and their bodies
He died at every turn.
"Advance in battle formation and destroy the enemies in front of you!"
Holding the stick in hand, Lei Hu waved his hand and ordered: "Ignore the wandering swordsman!"
Therefore, the twenty elite militiamen left five people to guard the safety of the luggage and Tan Sitong, while the remaining fifteen people lined up in three neat rows and marched forward with revolvers in their hands.
The dull sound of gunfire continued, and the three teams of fifteen elite militiamen displayed a terrifying momentum of thousands of troops on the smoke-filled official road.
All the horse bandits outside the pass who entered the shooting range and were in the direction of the queue were instantly treated to continuous pistol bombardment, but most of them were killed and wounded in the blink of an eye.
"The wind is tight, pull it!"
The total number of horse bandits outside the pass was almost more than thirty. After a short period of panic, nearly twenty of them fell down in the blink of an eye. The rest of the horse bandits were frightened for a moment. A trace of unwillingness flashed in the eyes of the leader, a big man, but he did not dare to hesitate.
He hurriedly called his brothers to evacuate.
This guy was absolutely cunning. He saw the intentions of the elite militiamen at a glance. While chasing Yuan Shikai, who was under great pressure and had a chance to breathe, he slowly diverted his horses away from the direct attack route of the elite militiamen.
"What a thief, how dare you do evil in broad daylight, watch the knife!"
At this moment, a convoy of escorts came from the direction of Jinmen. The leading escort was furious when he saw the fighting scene on the official road. He drew his sword from his back and rode his horse and shouted wildly.
The sword flashed sharply, slashing left and right, and the horse bandits outside the pass, who were already frightened, were immediately chopped down by three people.
The man's sword skills were proficient and extremely powerful. With the momentum of the horse's galloping, the sword's light flashed and was invincible, and it instantly penetrated the loose formation of more than a dozen horse bandits.
Fortunately, the fifteen elite militiamen had stopped shooting, otherwise this guy would have crashed into their attack area, and he might have been beaten into pieces if he wasn't careful.
This guy was so brave, he just glanced at the elite militiamen who were uniformly dressed with murderous looks, quickly turned around and charged back.
"Asshole, I will fight with you!"
The leader of the horse bandits outside the pass had bloodshot eyes, and he was so angry that he was furious and furious. This guy appeared out of nowhere and dared to attack them and his group, killing five or six of the brothers around him in one sprint.
The number of horse bandits under his command was reduced by almost half. How could he endure such cowardice? He was so excited that he couldn't care about anything else. He galloped his horse and his saber whizzed and turned into a ray of light and slashed hard.
when!
The bodyguard who suddenly appeared was very skilled in martial arts. He struck out with the horse bandit leader with a big knife in his hand without hesitation. Before the opponent could recover his energy and blood, he struck back with another knife and sliced off the horse bandit leader's head.
boom!
After the leader of the horse bandits was killed, the few remaining horse bandits were frightened, yelled and ran around, and in the blink of an eye they disappeared without a trace.
The battle is over!
Bodies lay scattered on the official road. Most of them were officers and soldiers, but some were horse bandits who had just been killed outside the pass. The pungent smell of blood floated in the wind, and a chilling atmosphere filled the air.
"I don't know the brave man's surname. The grace of saving his life will be rewarded generously. Yuan Shikai is polite!"
At this time, Yuan Shikai had regained his style as a rookie in Beiyang. He came on horseback escorted by a group of personal soldiers and said to the majestic bodyguard.
"You are not a talented person, you don't need to be like this!"
The bodyguard who rushed out boldly and easily killed the leader of the horse bandits with three strikes did not dare to neglect. He hurriedly dismounted his horse and returned the favor with a smile: "Drawing your sword to help when the road is rough is the way we behave in the world!"
"You have such a demeanor as a man in the world. Could it be that you are the famous Sword King Wu in the capital?"
Tan Sitong strode over with excitement, looked at Wang Wu with admiration, and quickly raised his hands and said with a smile: "I, Tan Sitong, have seen the heroes of the capital!"
"Mr. Tan, you are so polite. You are ashamed to be called a hero!"
Wang Wu was flattered and hurriedly bowed his hands, but his face couldn't help but be happy. He was even more excited than when he just accepted Yuan Shikai's thanks...
