Republic of China Tycoon Reborn

Chapter 40: Being plotted against

The sound of carriages rattling in front of them sounded, and Eunuch Wan narrowed his eyes: "What's going on?" In order to enter Shanghai quietly, they chose an abandoned dirt road. This road had been abandoned for many years, and there were weeds on the road.

It is thick with trees and winds through a slightly undulating low ridge. Not to mention that it is dark now, even during the day, there are very few people walking around.

As the carriage approached, Wan Gonggong ordered to light the torch. Under the light of the fire, he could see clearly, what kind of carriage was there? It was just a thin old man in his fifties driving a donkey cart. He looked in front of him with a look of astonishment.

A large group of dark people. The donkey cart was just an ordinary flatbed cart, with a tall pile of cabbage piled on top. The old man was sitting in front of the cart. The men and horses in front seemed to frighten him, and a horse whip

He was frozen in mid-air, saying nothing and not daring to hit the donkey.

At this time, the donkey cart was lying in the middle of the road, blocking the movement of people and horses. The old man who drove the cart swallowed hard, jumped off the cart and knelt on the ground. He raised the riding whip in his hand high above his head: "Uncle, the younger one is going out.

Delivering food. I bumped into all the gentlemen, so I really deserve to die. This cart of cabbage is not worth anything, so you accept half of it and keep half of it for me. At any rate, let me keep my job, I have to live."

Wan Gonggong had already ridden on a horse for convenience. He was old and weak, and he was an emasculated person, so he could not withstand the bumps on the road. At this time, when he saw the old farmer acting like this, he couldn't help but be curious. There was a magic machine next to him.

The soldiers of the battalion explained to him: "This is the rule on the rivers and lakes. Anyone who encounters bandits and robbers will usually do this. The robbers pride themselves on robbing the rich and giving to the poor. When they encounter those who don't have much money and water, they are so humble and will not hurt them."

The other person’s life.”

"This old guy thinks we are robbers!" Eunuch Wan complained, but he was really happy in his heart. This showed that his team was not bad in black clothes. The soldier from the Shenji Battalion next to him poked Eunuch Wan: "

According to the rules, you have to take the riding whip and then release the goods."

"That's nonsense. Are we going to carry half a cart of cabbage into Shanghai? Get him out of here and don't stop us from doing our work." The soldier from the Shenji Battalion ordered, waving his hands to scare away the old farmer: "Get out of the way quickly.

, I don’t care about you rotten cabbage. If you block the way again, I won’t be polite.”

The old farmer was overjoyed, kowtowed twice, stood up, pulled the donkey cart and stepped aside. The men and horses continued to move, and the soldier from the Shenji Battalion wondered: "What kind of food are you delivering at this late night? Shouldn't everyone be delivering food?"

In the morning?"

When the man said this, Wan Gonggong was also stunned. But before he could react, the old farmer whipped the donkey's butt. The donkey was frightened in pain and rushed into the team of horses with a long neigh. The old farmer rolled around.

The boy quickly ducked to the side. Suddenly there was a loud bang, and the cabbage on the donkey cart exploded. It turned out that there was explosive hidden under the cabbage.

There were quite a lot of explosives on the cart, which immediately blew up the Shenji Camp. Everyone rolled off their saddles and fell off their horses, hurriedly escaping. For a moment, the cabbages were flying with flesh and blood, and there were explosions and shouts. This time, everyone was caught off guard.

There was no psychological preparation at all. Where had Eunuch Wan seen such a battle? His performance was even worse than that of the other officers and soldiers. He fell off his horse long ago and huddled up with his head in his hands. Where could he give orders to stop the commotion?

After the gunpowder smoke passed, they stood still for five minutes before Wan Gonggong stood up and said: "Is this...are you seeking death?" He looked up and saw that the Shenji Camp had been killed by the explosion just now.

There must have been more than twenty people, and countless people were injured. The Shenji Battalion's combat effectiveness was immediately reduced by half. Those who were lucky enough to survive lay on the ground groaning and refused to get up again.

The carriages are all gone! Eunuch Wan's heart tightened suddenly. Where did those carriages go? There were Du Yuesheng and his gang on the carriages, as well as Watanabe's seriously injured patient, and many guarding soldiers. Where could they go?

?

The soldiers of the Shenji Battalion next to them held the long-barreled foreign guns tightly in their arms, as if it was the only thing that could give them a sense of security. The explosion just now blew away all their arrogance and domineering. Eunuch Wan watched.

There were injuries and mutilations all over the ground, and corpses and pieces of flesh everywhere. There was a buzzing in my head. I don't know whether it was because of the explosion just now or because I was frightened in my heart.

"What's going on?" Wan Eunuch said these four words in a trembling voice. His group's actions were concealed enough, so how could they be plotted? Suddenly, something stirred in his heart. Could this have been done by Chen Shichang's people? Where were Du Yuesheng and the others?

Did he go? Was he kidnapped or ran away on his own? His heart was in a mess. Although he was usually cunning and insidious, when he really encountered such a thing where nothing came in and nothing came out, he immediately became confused.

The person with Shen Gene looked at Eunuch Wan eagerly, ready to retreat at any time when Eunuch Wan ordered him to. Unexpectedly, Eunuch Wan shivered for a while, gritted his teeth and said: "Chase! Those carriages that can't run fast and don't make any sound must be them.

Hide nearby!" The people in Shenji Camp were so disappointed that they had no choice but to accept the order.

There was a gunshot, and a soldier holding a torch was shot down. I don't know where the courage came from, but Wan Gonggong suddenly got on his horse and screamed: "Chasing, put out the torches and chase!" People from Shenji Camp said.

They immediately threw away the torches, and those who were not injured or disabled managed to get on their horses, but their faces were hesitant. How could they still have any fighting spirit?

A voice came from the distance: "Gundog, how dare you come to challenge our elder brother after eating the bear's heart? The elder brother asked me to give you a message. Now that you are here, don't leave. Don't even think about setting foot in Shanghai."

, if a person like you dies in Shanghai, it will be a stain on this place. Don’t even think about going back. If you go back, our brothers will not be able to hang out in the world."

Eunuch Wan was so furious that he waved his hand and led the people from the Shenji Battalion to run in the direction of the sound. Eunuch Wan did not understand the way to lead troops to meet the enemy, let alone the tactics of such a surprise encounter. He kept on

The people who commanded the Shenji Battalion fired shots at the target indiscriminately, bang bang bang bang, the gunshots were loud, but how could they hit the target with such mindless shooting?

The sound of gunshots mixed with the sound of horse hooves and the shouts of the father-in-law were particularly harsh in the dark night of the deserted mountains. The front was dark, like a monster with its bloody mouth. Where could there be any shadow of the other party?

The father-in-law led a group of people to collide for a while, but got nothing.

There was a bang, and there was another explosion. It was either a grenade thrown by the opponent or one of our own stepped on a mine, and seven or eight more people were knocked down. The father-in-law was shocked and angry, and the Shenji camp was turning around in circles. Even the horses and mounts,

It was also restless and commotion, digging at the ground with its hooves and neighing uneasily.

There were bursts of firing all around, and the opponent's marksmanship was precise. Every time a gunshot was fired, a member of the Shenji Battalion would fall to the ground. A soldier reminded anxiously: "Mr. Wan, these beasts under us are making too much noise. The enemy

We are in the dark, we are at a disadvantage." Wan Gonggong was ill and rushed to the doctor: "Everyone drove their own horses out and taught the other party not to listen to the sound and shoot!"

This was another bad move. When the horses were gone, Wan Gonggong realized that his people had changed from high-speed moving targets to static targets. As a result, the opponent's gunshots became more intensive, and the frequency of casualties on his side was faster.

The spirit and will of the people in the Shenji camp finally changed qualitatively, from being calm and sublime to collapse. They were as anxious as a lost dog and as busy as a fish that slipped through the net. Everyone fled in panic. The firepower was most concentrated around Eunuch Wan, and everyone tried their best to
