The climate in southern Peru is mild. Anthony, who had just walked out of the hall, was blown by the sea breeze, and his drunken brain suddenly sobered up. "Strange, why are the people on guard gone?" Anthony said as he walked towards the guard post, and took two dippers in front of the wooden door.
Oiled torches illuminate the area brightly.
Anthony felt something was wrong. No matter how careless the sentries were, they would not all leave. Something must have happened.
Anthony's right hand gently touched the short gun at his waist. Before he could touch the short gun, a cold dagger was pressed against his back.
"Mr. Anthony, nice to meet you here." A greeting came from behind, but Anthony did not feel the other person's kindness at all.
"Sir, relax and say what you have to say."
Anthony didn't know the identity of the person behind it, so he pretended to be calm.
"Haha, Mr. Anthony, don't you recognize me so quickly?" Li Mingyuan put away the dagger and walked up to him.
"It's you, God, are you going to riot?" Anthony said in shock.
"Of course, otherwise what do you think I'm going to do?" Li Mingyuan said lightly.
"Your Majesty, don't talk nonsense to him, kill this foreign devil." Wang Dashan walked out of the darkness with a dozen young people, and pointed at Anthony with a dagger.
"No, dear Li, it was Borja who bullied you, and I never bullied you." Anthony was startled by Wang Dashan's performance and hurriedly defended.
"Haha, don't be afraid. You didn't do anything to harm us, I won't harm you." Li Mingyuan smiled and patted his shoulder.
"Your Majesty, Borja and other supervisory leaders are inside, and the brothers have surrounded the hall." Wang Xiaoshan reported to Li Mingyuan in a low voice.
"Very good, are the others ready?" Li Mingyuan asked.
"Everything is ready, just waiting for the prince's instructions."
"Xiaoshan, go and inform them that the operation has begun. Dashan, let's go see Borja, our old friend." Li Mingyuan said coldly, looking at the brightly lit hall.
When a group of people arrived in front of the hall, the guards around them had been killed by Li Mingyuan's men. The arrival of so many people did not disturb anyone. The people inside were still intoxicated, unaware that death was only one step away from them.
With a bang, the door was kicked open by Wang Dashan, and then everyone surrounded Li Mingyuan and walked in.
"Don't move any of them." Wang Dashan warned while holding the captured musket.
The mine boss, who was drinking and dancing, was stunned for a moment. The usually hard-working Chinese workers actually rioted.
The two supervisors picked up the short guns at their waists and were about to fight back when they were shot dead by two of Li Mingyuan's men.
"Only by working together well can we save our lives, otherwise these two will be your role models."
Li Mingyuan warned the crowd.
"Your Majesty, catch this old guy Borja." Wang Dashan threw Borja in front of Li Mingyuan and said.
"Borja, I didn't expect that we would meet on such an occasion." Li Mingyuan stepped on his face and said.
Borja was very frightened. He had no idea that the Chinese labor union would riot, and that it would be led by a young man who was very cowardly two months ago.
"Li, as long as you stop now, I promise to give you freedom." Borja said with a glimmer of hope.
"Haha, don't you think it's too late to say this now?" Li Mingyuan sneered.
"It's not too late, don't worry, I won't hold you accountable." Borja misunderstood what Li Mingyuan meant and wanted to deceive them first and cause trouble for them later.
"Old dog, there's no need for your false kindness, you should just worry about your own life." Wang Dashan spat at Borja.
"Da Shan, separate the people in the hall. Let's go to other places and take a look." Li Mingyuan said a few words, stopped talking nonsense with Borja, and arranged,
The sneak attack on the hall went smoothly. Under the personal leadership of Li Mingyuan, the twelve Indian mercenaries on guard were killed without any casualties, and then all the people in the hall were killed.
Without the command of the supervisor leader, the other supervisors in a chaotic mess were quickly captured by the people sent by Li Mingyuan, but a company of Peruvian soldiers stationed in the mine stumped Li Sandou.
"Your Majesty, the firepower of Yamaguchi's army is very fierce, and the brothers have tried very hard to kill them," Li Sandou said with shame.
"How are the casualties, brothers?"
"Three people died and fourteen people were injured," Li Sandou replied.
"Fortunately, the number of casualties is not too many." Li Mingyuan breathed a sigh of relief. There are not many Chinese in South America, and Li Mingyuan's soldiers died one by one and could not be replaced in a short period of time, so he was very concerned about the casualties of the soldiers.
"Your Majesty, the Peruvian army used a kind of musket that we have never seen before. It can shoot continuously. It is because of this weapon that the brothers can't rush forward." Li Sandou explained.
Hearing Li Sandou's words, Li Mingyuan had already guessed that the continuous-firing musket he was talking about was the machine gun of later generations. When thermal weapons had not yet matured, machine guns were indeed the biggest killers of infantry. It was not easy to deal with machine guns.
Li Mingyuan lowered his head and thought for a while, and came up with a way.
"Uncle Li, take me to the position. I have thought of a way to deal with them."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Li Sandou replied.
The mountain pass is not far from the hall, and Li Mingyuan arrived in front of the position soon.
"Your Majesty, the machine gun is placed in the middle of the mountain pass, just blocking the path for our charge." Li Sandou pointed forward and said.
Li Mingyuan observed the mountain pass and found that there were more than a hundred soldiers in total, and a heavy machine gun was placed in the middle of the mountain pass.
"Dashan, Xiaoshan, pick out ten brothers who are fast and load bullets for me."
"Yes," the two men replied, immediately arranging manpower.
"Uncle Li, you take people to hide on both sides of the mountain pass first. As soon as I shoot, you lead people to rush forward." Li Mingyuan ordered.
"I understand, Your Majesty." Li Shishi waits for no one. Once he cannot take the mountain pass, everyone will die when the Peruvian reinforcements arrive. Li Sandou thought that Li Mingyuan didn't come up with a good idea and was just risking his life, so he decided to fight to the death.
replied in a good mood.
This battle was a matter of life and death. Li Mingyuan didn't have the energy to think about what Li Sandou was thinking. He just carefully aimed the gun in his hand.
Li Mingyuan was a mercenary in his previous life. Fighting and shooting were his strengths. Therefore, he was very patient when facing the enemy on the opposite side. He aimed for ten minutes in a row. Li Mingyuan did not move. A trace of sweat flowed down his head. Li Mingyuan
The slightly closed right eye suddenly opened.
"Hit" Li Mingyuan let out a light sound and quickly pulled the trigger. The bullet accurately hit the machine gunner. The sound of the gun was the signal. Li Sandou led more than a hundred Taiping Army veterans and immediately rushed forward.
Seeing the Taiping Army rushing up, the Peruvian army hurriedly asked people to replace the machine gunners. But what was shocking was that before the replacement machine gunners could open fire, seven or eight machine gunners in a row were killed by Li Mingyuan's gun.
Without the suppression of machine guns, the mediocre Peruvian army was no match for the experienced Taiping Army. After the Taiping Army rushed to the position and killed more than a dozen Peruvian soldiers, the remaining soldiers all raised their hands and surrendered.
"Haha, it's so fun to kill." Li Sandou stood on the mountain pass position, holding a musket and said.
"Old Li, this small battle is nothing. When I was with His Royal Highness, I, Old Chen, have experienced big battles worth hundreds of thousands." Chen Guozhu looked down on Li Sandou.
"Old Chen, you haven't seen the power of the machine gun. If the prince hadn't killed the machine gunner, I might have died on the way to the charge." Li Sandou said with lingering fear.
"That is, the Crown Prince is the one who has been blessed by Heavenly Father and will lead us to rebuild the kingdom of heaven. How can some Peruvian troops be the Crown Prince's opponent?" Chen Guozhu said proudly.
"Old Uncle Chen, the prince was like a god possessed just now. He killed an enemy with one bullet. Before I could react, the prince killed five or six enemies." A young man who filled Li Mingwei's bullets said in admiration.
.
"The prince is young and promising, and is as brave as the prince when he was young." Chen Guozhu sighed.
"Uncle Chen, the prince asked you to clean up the battlefield quickly. I have something important to discuss with you when I get back." The arrival of Wang Xiaoshan interrupted Chen Guozhu's memories.
"I know, I'll go back in a minute." Chen Guozhu waved his hand and said.
