Chapter XVIII: Conflict (1)
"Chief Liu, this is already the third wave of guys coming out from the direction of Mengcheng, these guys don't want to be good people when they look at them one by one, will they be in the same group as those fake bandits we killed?" Zhang Yun, who was sitting on the wheel, whispered quietly to Liu Goat, and Liu Goat, who was sitting with Lu Yong smoking and chatting, couldn't help but look in the direction of Zhang Yun. Several black-clothed men riding horses were riding horses on the side of the road to look this way, and the sight of Liu Goat happened to collide together, the other party was slightly stunned, and under Liu Goat's gaze, he turned his head to look away as if nothing happened.
"Zhang Yun is right, these guys should be in the same group as those fake bandits." Liu Goat's eyes did not move away because of the other party's dodge, but carefully looked at the men on horseback one by one, and finally Liu Goat fell on those stirrups, if he was not mistaken, the stirrups of these guys are exactly the same as those fake bandits, and even the logo on the stirrup belt is exactly the same.
Liu Goat's carriage slowly passed over the few black-clothed men who were immediately on the side of the road, and there was no obvious abnormality on either side, but before Liu Goat told Lu Yong what he had observed, a man in black on horseback had already galloped away in the direction of Mengcheng. "Don't pay attention to it, the guys in our hands are not given for nothing, and these are not wearing official clothes, I'm afraid he will do something." Liu Goat once again showed Zhang Yun and the people of the Sichuan Army their arrogance, even Tang Cheng and Jiujin didn't care.
Tang Cheng, who had filled his stomach, had already thrown away the two horse legs of nine catties, and compared with the fat and tender stewed chicken, simple roast horse meat could no longer meet Tang Cheng's needs, not to mention that Tian Kui also said that Mengcheng had a lot of delicious things, and Tang Cheng's heart had already flown far away to the dining table of Mengcheng's restaurants. Quietly touching the gold bar sewn on the inside of his belt, Tang Cheng consciously realized that he was also a rich man now, and he had not had this idea when he was searching for money in the sushi restaurant opened by the Japanese in Shanghai, but Tang Cheng, who had experienced the Nanjing War, also began to agree with Liu Goat's statement of timely pleasure.
Tang Cheng, who was thinking about his thoughts in the carriage, didn't notice the suspicious black-clothed men on the side of the road, because Tang Cheng's entire mind at this time was occupied by thinking about things in his head, and he didn't have any extra thoughts to pay attention to other things. Tang Cheng is a delicious food, thanks to the experience of following Robert around since childhood, Tang Cheng has eaten many local foods, of course, there are times when eating wild vegetables and drinking rice soup, in this era of death at any time, Tang Cheng is ready to let go of his usual reserve, intending to become a person who forgets life and death and can enjoy himself in time.
The rain and snow of the previous days had turned large areas of the field white, but it was soon trampled into black and yellow mud by groups of refugees and routs marching in the snow, and the same was true here in Mongolia. The land of northern Jiangsu and northern Anhui is full of refugees from all over the world; They didn't know where to go to avoid the damn war, and these frightened and helpless people only knew how to follow the crowd, to the north or to the west. But in the city of Mongolia, where everyone thought they could stay away from the fighting, the fleeing crowd was blocked in this field a few miles away from the city.
Several cowhide drums were beaten to the sky, two large flags embroidered with the words of the Mengcheng militia were "crackling" in the wind, and a group of men with loaded guns were occupied by the wind-blown rattling flags. Among them, the man sitting on a Taishi chair, wearing a shiny mink jacket and a knife-faced man with a Japanese Rendanhu, was watching his men whip a middle-aged man who was rolling in the mud and begging for mercy.
These men in black with guns cut off the road with horses made of rough wood, and there were some men in black on horseback on both sides of the avenue who were galloping back and forth, and the middle-aged man who was being whipped with a leather whip was caught and punished by the man on horseback because he wanted to bypass this checkpoint. "You outsiders, what is the place where we are in the city? Shelter? If you want to enter Mengcheng, you will admit the anti-Japanese donation, as long as you donate, our brother will let you go immediately, if you don't pay, then stay here. The knife-faced man smoked a cigarette leisurely, and motioned to his men to tie the middle-aged man to the refusal horse to show the public.
There are several huge bamboo baskets in the mud in front of the rejection of the horse, and there is a banner on the top of the basket, with four big characters on it to raise funds against Japan. Everyone who wants to cross the checkpoint to get to Monte has to throw money into the basket to buy the road. Some people said that they had no money, so they were driven to the field near the left by the men in black with guns, and no matter how these people pleaded, these men in black with guns ignored them.
It's not that no one resists, but resistance doesn't work, because these people who are blocked here by the level are not very united. Just three or four hundred meters after the checkpoint extended, you can see with the naked eye that there are scattered corpses lying on the snow, which are people who are unwilling to pay or can't afford to pass the checkpoint and want to make a detour. The snow on the field around the checkpoint is covered by the dead grass and mud that is difficult to walk inch, and the people who want to take a detour to cross the level are definitely not the opponents of those riders, and those who are lucky are caught back and beaten with a leather whip, and those who are unlucky will be killed directly by the riders with guns in the field, which is why so many people are blocked here and no one dares to resist.
A fast horse rushed all the way to the front of the checkpoint, and the rider on horseback turned over and dismounted three steps and two steps before running in front of the knife-faced man, and said in a low voice, "Fifth master, we saw a group of people from the national army when we were in front of the chute, the number was about 30, and there were a few people with spears on their backs, and the fourth master recognized that two of them were officers, and this would be coming this way. ”
"What? Is that really what my fourth brother said? "Sitting in the Taishi chair all the time without moving, the knife face that makes people look like a mountain tiger suddenly jumped like thunder, "When did the fourth brother's courage become so small, this is Mengcheng, and the people who came to the national army also had to retract their heads for Lao Tzu." It took half a day to collect these money today, and the brothers are still waiting to collect the money to drink flowers and wine, and after removing the checkpoint, what else will Lao Tzu take to collect the money? Tell the brothers, copy the guys to Lao Tzu's spirit, and if you find something wrong after a while, you will clean up this group of national troops for Lao Tzu. ”
"Fifth master, those Qiu Ba are here." In less than ten minutes after the Tian family's carriage paid the money and crossed the checkpoint, Liu Goat's carriage slowly appeared in the sight of the knife-faced, and unlike those routs who were blocked by the militia here, Liu Goat's body was obviously murderous. Signaling his subordinates to get ready, the knife-faced man swayed and stood in front of the checkpoint, he didn't want to clash with Liu Goat and them, as long as he thought that Qiu Ba of this group of national soldiers was a bit eye-catching, it was not impossible to let them go for nothing.
Liu Goat, who was walking on the left side of the carriage, did not notice the knife-faced man standing in front of the checkpoint at first, and the first to enter his line of sight were the refugees who were blocked in front of the rejection of the horse and a dozen or so rout soldiers in military uniforms. When he saw the knife-faced man standing in front of the rejection of the horse, Liu Goat couldn't help but feel a wave of anger in his heart, although Liu Goat is also a rout now, but he looks down on the dozen or so national army routs mixed with the refugees, and feels that they have lost the face of the national army.
"Jiujin, you go and call me the crumbs from those people's piles, it's a fucking shame." There were still dozens of meters away from the checkpoint, and Liu Goat ordered to stop advancing, but sent Jiujin, who didn't know what was going on, to call those national army routs over for questioning. "You fucking just take off this skin on your body, is the gun in your hand a burning stick? There are more than a dozen of you, and you still have grenades on you, but you can't even pack a group of vigilantes that are not much stronger than women? ”
asked what happened, Liu Goat, who was standing in the carriage, scolded these defeated soldiers loudly in front of the group of black-clothed men, Liu Goat's voice was too loud, even the black-clothed man standing behind the checkpoint blocked his ears and could still hear it clearly. "The bullet is loaded, the grenade unscrews the back cover, and the fight will start in a while, take care of yourself, don't let them get close." Tang Cheng on the carriage pulled the bolt of the flower machine and put the bullet on fire, and the muzzle of the gun was hidden under the coat and pointed at the knife face whose face had changed drastically.
"Look at what? Lao Tzu is scolding you, what can you do with Lao Tzu? Seeing that the knife's face changed greatly when he heard this, Liu Goat jumped out of the carriage directly and greeted him, scolding while walking under his feet. A few meters away from the knife face, Liu Goat had already pulled out his shell gun, "Put the gun down for Lao Tzu, a small militia is still fucking arrogant, even if the little devil is here, Lao Tzu will also scold him for being a bloody dog." ”
Seeing that Liu Goat had already greeted him, Tang Cheng on the carriage did not dare to slack off, and jumped out of the carriage and followed with rifles. There are only a dozen people in the militia group blocking the private checkpoint here, and there are no more than 30 people riding horses around, but Liu Goat's side suddenly showed more than a dozen spears, and Jiujin simply held two grenades in his hand that had unscrewed the back cover, and this time, there was an obvious contrast in the strength of the two sides.
"You guys are setting up checkpoints here to collect donations and block people, is it your Mengcheng County Government's idea?" Seeing that his subordinates had been pushed into the field by the other party with a rifle, in the face of Liu Goat's aggressiveness, the knife-faced man was naturally a little panicked. Seeing that this knife-faced guy didn't reply, Liu Goat was even more angry, and directly knocked the barrel of the shell gun on the other party's head continuously, and in just a few clicks, he knocked out a large red patch on the other party's head.
