One hundred and thirty-two, escape
Several people led the horses to feed the horses, these days are the last days of the dry season before the rainy season arrives, the weather is extremely hot, just now the big guy went down the hill and marched for a while, this time they were tired and sweaty, so they all jumped into the river to play in the water and enjoy the coolness. Xue Pan didn't stop him, but the young general Wu Lei was furious, "The turtle son is in a hurry to jump into the water, aren't you afraid that there will be any poisonous things in the water to eat you?" ”
So he used a leather whip to drive everyone up and prevent them from going into the water, at this time when it was in a mess, a few clear neighing sounds of horses were suddenly heard in the valley, Xue Pan's face changed greatly, he was originally leaning on the tree lazily and closed his eyes, brushed back, "Alert!" ”
Everyone was a little flustered and equipped up, and the two senior brothers who were originally very lazy also looked solemn at this time, and approached Xue Pan, "Big official, I'm afraid it's British!" ”
In the valley, the sound of horses' hooves, sure enough, a few British soldiers wearing red vests and black hats rode out of the valley lazily, and when they saw these people in front of them, they didn't have any surprised expressions, "You Tianzhu people, why are you in this place?" The bearded man at the head yawned, "Did you sneak out and be lazy?" You should go and siege the city, not be lazy here! ”
The two sides got along far away, Xue Pan and the others were hiding in the shade of the trees, and several British soldiers thought that they were besieging the city, and they were fishing and lazy here, "lowly Indians," the soldiers on the side laughed and scolded, "We are patrolling everywhere, and they are here to enjoy the shade." ”
Everyone didn't dare to answer, but just looked at Xue Pan, and Xsol said to Xue Pan, "My lord, there are only six or seven people here, do you want to kill them first?" ”
Xue Pan nodded, and shook his head again, "Wait a while," he thought for a while, and replied loudly: "Dear British lord, we are native soldiers from Cobb City, we are not lazy, this can be sworn that General Charles let us set off to the countryside of Chhansi to find some food and meat for the wounded to eat, although we brought some food, but there was no fresh meat." ”
"Lie," the bearded soldier who took the lead scolded with a smile, "It's all you Tianzhu people who are attacking the city today, why do you want to give you any meat?" It's a complete waste! But you speak English very well, who taught you? There is no such country curry flavor at all! ”
They slowly paced this side unsuspectingly, and Xue Pan said eagerly to Xor, "Take your people out to greet you, at this time we need the intelligence of the British, bring them in, or when we get close to them, capture them all alive, and don't let one go!" ”
Xsol pretended to be brave and led a few native soldiers to meet him, and bowed to the British soldiers, "You are from Cobb City?" The bearded soldier at the head said contemptuously to Xor, "What about your officer Jack?" Are you bragging about Cobb City? If those Chinese come again, will they have to fight again, he should cry and kneel down and surrender immediately, right? ”
Everyone laughed, and Ksol lowered his head very humbly, "Honorable Lord Jack is in charge of border affairs in the city, and he will definitely not let the Chinese take advantage of it." In fact, I was silently lamenting in my heart, Lord Jack had already become a prisoner, where could he still be arrogant, if it wasn't for the rapid change of his attitude, at this time, I was afraid that he would be guarded as a prisoner, in front of all kinds of coolies.
"Jack, that kid, I hope God can bless him, he is so lucky that he doesn't have to participate in this big war, probably his cowardly character can add some jokes, so what supplies have you delivered?" The bearded British soldier asked Xsol, "What good things have your countrymen offered in the land?" ”
"There's some meat, and some sugar cane wine," Ksol made up a few lies in a moment, "because it's hot, so we've put all our supplies in the woods." ”
Hearing the wine, several British soldiers couldn't help but be overjoyed, "God, in such a hot weather, the most important thing is wine, alcohol can make us forget some tiredness," a black-haired soldier next to him said to the bearded man, "Captain, don't we take a break?" Now no one dared to disturb the city of Duwana, and no one dared to have any support for the people that the British Empire had to deal with. We've been patrolling for so long, isn't that it? ”
"You can rest," the bearded man laughed, turned over and dismounted, "After a hard work, of course you can take a rest, okay, what is your name as an officer?" Oh God, I really can't remember your stupid Indian names, well, don't tell me, we're going to requisition the drinks you brought right now. ”
The bearded man had not yet let his guard down, and he told the black-haired soldier, "All right, my friend, go," he said, "bring out all the wine, and we'll have a few drinks and go!" ”
The black-haired soldier swaggered towards the woods, and suddenly Xsol and the others took out their swords, "Do it!" ”
For a while, these British people were a little confused, but they didn't expect that these Indians, who were usually obedient as if they were lambs to the slaughter, would actually move towards themselves, and the bearded and others didn't have time to react, and the bright knife was placed on their necks, "Presumptuous!" What are you guys up to? The bearded man said angrily, "What are you kidding! He was about to struggle to stand up, but he was slapped hard by Ksol a few times, raised the knife and slashed at his shoulder, "Don't move!" ”
The black-haired soldier was vigilant, and he was not very panicked at this time, he saw that these Indian soldiers actually dared to make trouble, and he knew that those people in the woods had ulterior motives to his own detriment, he took out his waist knife and attacked the native soldiers a few times, and saw a shout in the woods, and some people also rushed out with weapons to stab at themselves, and knew that nothing could be done, so he struggled to break free from the siege of everyone, and rushed towards the grand plan, and flew on the horse, and galloped away at once, Xue Pan hurriedly asked someone to release the gun, but after the sound of popping, the smoke dissipated, but there was no trace of this person, Xue Pan couldn't help but stomp his feet, "Not good!" If this person leaves, I'm afraid that the news of our arrival will be known by the British, chase! It's about to be chased back! ”
