The Heartless Mage Chapter 63: Sneak attack
In the early morning of the spring day, Zhang Xianzong led a small team and quietly approached Tanggezhuang, where the headquarters of Gu Lv was located.
For a sneak attack, early morning is better than midnight. In the early hours of the morning, people slept the deepest and soundest, and the guards who had supported them all night were tired and dozing off with their rifles. Before the roosters in the village began to croak, Zhang Xianzong fell into the darkness before dawn and entered the Tanggezhuang boundary step by step.
According to the information provided by the scouts in advance, he began to look for the tallest and sturdier houses in the village. The hundred or so people behind them all held their breaths, holding the rifles tightly with both hands, refusing to make a slight noise. Hanging a heart, I walked into the alleyway of the village. Except for the occasional dog barking, there was continuous wind. Everything was going well. A soldier's shadow appeared in front of me. He was leaning against a half-earth wall and was confused, and I vaguely heard footsteps. The voice came, and the soldier yawned and said, "Password!"
There was no password, only a knife smeared his neck; blood spurted out of a red fan, lashing into half of the dirt wall.
Zhang Xianzong's team moved on. At the next alleyway, they encountered soldiers again. The soldier was more energetic than the dead ghost at the front, and shouted: "Password!"
Zhang Xianzong and others did not know Gu Lu's password, so they kept their heads down and continued to walk forward. The soldier pulled the gun bolt with a bang, and his voice raised a tune: "Password!"
Zhang Xianzong raised his hand and shot, shattering the soldier's head on the spot. With the sound of gunfire, all the dogs in the four directions were aware, and Zhang Xianzong waved his hand back, and the small team accelerated and went straight to the masonry courtyard in front. As far as he knows, there are not many garrison troops in Tanggezhuang, and the soldiers of Gu Lu are all on the front line!
The sky was white with fish belly, chickens and dogs barking and gunshots coming and going. Master Gu suddenly sat up, before opening his eyes, he subconsciously reached out and took out the pistol from under the pillow. Stepping out of the bed with his bare buttocks, he first looked out the glass window and saw the guards running out of the courtyard with rifles in their hands. Wake up, something happened!"
Wuxin and Crescent Moon slept next door, and were awakened by the sound of gunfire long before Master Gu spoke. Crescent Moon has not fully woken up yet, so she hugs the quilt in a daze; Wuxin is smart, she lifts the quilt and responds: "I know! I've woken up!"
With Wuxin's voice, Crescent Moon's soul immediately returned to its place. She threw all her clothes and trousers at Wuxin. She held back her trembling, as if she was afraid of scaring someone, she whispered, "Quickly put it on. When you're done, let's hide in the back of the yard, which leads to the crops!"
Wuxin pushed his feet into his pants and said, "Silly girl, there are no crops in the crops now, and if you go bare, it will be in vain!"
Crescent Moon's fingers are about to get busy, and they fasten a long string of buttons: "Oh, no!"
Wuxin put on his shoes, grabbed the hand of the crescent moon and ran out. After leaving the door, the two happened to have a face-to-face with Master Gu. Mr. Gu didn't have time to say more, and only shouted: "Damn it's a sneak attack! Don't make trouble, you two, go back!"
If you want to go back, you have to go through the front yard first. Wuxin kept Master Gu and Crescent Moon behind him, and walked out first. As a result, his eyes just saw the sun, and a guard twitched at the front door of the courtyard, and it was he who had been shot and died. Master Gu yelled, pushed aside Wuxin and raised the pistol, pulling the trigger all the way out. And Wuxin grabbed Crescent Moon's hand tightly, and wanted to take her out of the hospital door as soon as possible - Fang Fangzheng had a courtyard, if you didn't go out, you had to climb over the wall, but over the wall is more dangerous, because people are at high places, the target obvious. But before he could take a step, someone suddenly rushed in and shot Master Gu head-on. It was Zhang Xianzong!
Amid the screams of Crescent Moon, Wuxin jumped up, and at the same time he slammed into Master Gu abruptly, a bullet opened a small blood hole in his waist. Mr. Gu fell to the ground unexpectedly, hitting the big water tank in the corner of the courtyard, and Wuxin took advantage of Zhang Xianzong's unresponsiveness, and ran over to grab the gun with a few strides. But you can't win one, and you can't win two. Crescent Moon ran to help up Master Gu. Master Gu was not hurt on his head, but he sat stunned and swayed, unexpectedly being hit and confused!
Zhang Xianzong could no longer let the enemy escape, and while calling for support from his soldiers, he frantically wanted to get rid of the inadvertent. Wuxin grabbed his right wrist and was trying to break open his fingers to hand over the gun. He couldn't shoot, and he didn't have a saber on him, so he could only beat Wuxin with all his might. A group of soldiers fought and passed the gate of the courtyard, bullets whistling in the air, someone seemed to want to enter the hospital to support Zhang Xianzong, but the road was blocked by bullets.
Gu Lu's reinforcements have not arrived yet, and Zhang Xianzong's reinforcements are also on the way. The limited number of soldiers in Tanggezhuang fought into a group, everyone had opponents, and it was impossible to be a deserter. Zhang Xianzong could not withdraw his right hand, so he simply pulled the trigger without aiming. The bullet hit the brick wall, and the red brick fragments rustled down into Crescent Moon's hair. Crescent Moon stood up with all the hair on her body in an instant, and cold sweat trickled down her temples. Bending down and grabbing Master Gu's arm, she tried her best to drag him into the house. Although there is no retreat in the house, the walls are thick enough to support them for a while. Mr. Gu was startled, as if he was a little awake, he snorted out of his nose and muttered: "Damn it."
Then he picked up the gun again and tried to shoot, but his eyes were blurry and his hands were shaking. At the same time, Wuxin and Zhang Xianzong had already fought to the corner of the courtyard. There was a small stack of firewood piled in the corner of the courtyard, Wuxin stepped on the firewood, and then jumped up, unexpectedly running on Zhang Xianzong's shoulder. He clamped his legs around each other's neck, and when he bent down, he just hugged Zhang Xianzong's head tightly. Zhang Xianzong's face was buried between his chest and abdomen, his eyes were pitch black, and he could not see anything. In a frenzy, he turned around and rushed towards the courtyard wall. He slammed into the wall one after another, trying to knock Wuxin down. And Wuxin's back slammed against the hard wall one after another, intentionally twisting the opponent's neck, but the pain from the gunshot wound in his waist was so severe that he could hardly exert himself.
Crescent Moon was squatting at the door, seeing a small bloodstain on Wuxin's waist, so she shoved Master Gu with all her might. Zhang Xianzong felt that the thighs and arms around his neck and head seemed to loosen a little, and he gritted his teeth and exerted all his strength. With his feet rushing forward, he shouted and tried his best to push against the courtyard wall. Wuxin closed his eyes and tightened his body trying to withstand the impact. Unexpectedly, just when the back was about to touch the wall, a gunshot suddenly sounded in the courtyard!
Zhang Xianzong froze immediately, looked up unintentionally, and saw Crescent Moon holding Master Gu's gun in both hands, standing in front of him tremblingly. The muzzle of the gun was surrounded by green smoke that seemed to be absent, and the finger of the crescent moon was hooked on the trigger.
There was silence in the yard for a moment, and then Zhang Xianzong slanted and fell unconsciously.
Wuxin immediately released his hands and feet and got up, while Zhang Xianzong was lying on the ground with a twisted posture, a blood hole had been blasted out of his back. Guns are different from guns. Master Gu's box guns are only slightly worse than rifles in power and weight. Crescent Moon is also a strong little woman, but when she picked up Master Gu's pistol and ran over to shoot, she raised her arms and tried her best to level the gun.
As soon as a shot was fired, Crescent Moon's legs were stiff, and she couldn't move. His hands were slowly sinking from the gun, but he still held on to the handle of the gun. Wuxin turned Zhang Xianzong upside down and found him with his eyes wide open, looking like he was dead.
At this moment, an adjutant rushed in panting: "Brigade, our people and the enemy are on fire in the village! The battle situation is unclear, you should withdraw first!"
Master Gu stood up with the door frame, his heart became more and more clear, and he nodded his head in a whirl: "Okay, withdraw!"
Master Gu ran out of the village on a tall horse before he completely regained his senses. He asked Wuxin in disbelief: "What? Crescent Moon killed Zhang Xianzong?"
Wanxin lay down on the horse's back and nodded "um".
Master Gu immediately turned his head to look at the crescent moon: "You little bitch, you are powerful enough! Can you still shoot?"
Crescent Moon's face turned red and hot. Although Zhang Xianzong had to be killed, human life is human life after all. Her face was hot and her body was cold. She raised her hands and wiped away tears, and replied with a weeping voice: "Ah, when I was a child, I went into the mountains with my uncle to fight foxes and used Hanyang products."
Master Gu stretched out his long arm and patted her on the shoulder: "Don't cry, why are you crying? If you don't kill him, he will kill you. If you shoot well, you are not ordinary. Girl."
Then he turned to Wuxin again: "What are you always doing on your stomach?"
Without waiting for Wuxin to answer, Crescent Moon cried: "What kind of head are you? He blocked a shot at you, you forgot?"
Master Gu raised his hand and touched the green bag above his head, suddenly realizing it.
Master Gu successfully broke through with his subordinates. Because he knew that Zhang Xianzong was dead, he abandoned Tanggezhuang with satisfaction and found another safe place to stay. The melee outside the village ended, and Zhang Lu's team, who came to support him, finally entered Tanggezhuang after a fight.
A soldier in a courtyard made a single-handed exclamation: "Chief of Staff! Chief of Staff was killed!"
A small figure floated in like a butterfly, and Yue Qiluo put a finger on the soldier's brow. The soldier was stunned for a moment, and immediately fell on his back. And Yue Qiluo squatted beside Zhang Xianzong immediately, stretched out his hand to try, and found that his nose seemed to have a faint trace of heat.
Three strokes, five divisions, two tore off his military uniform, Yue Qiluo dipped his blood and drew a talisman on his chest. And Zhang Xianzong looked up at the sky with his eyes wide open, as if sensing something, he exhaled his last breath beside Yue Qiluo.
The soldiers of the Zhang Brigade occupied Tanggezhuang, but they soon found that the occupation was pointless. Tanggezhuang is located behind Gu Lv alone, and Gu Lv may counterattack at any time. At that time, it will be difficult for them to escape, because this place is too far from the Wenxian base camp.
The officers searched the village to no avail. Suddenly realizing that the chief of staff had never shown up, someone panicked and began to call Zhang Xianzong all over the village. It was at the time of chaos that Zhang Xianzong appeared.
Zhang Xianzong was covered in blood, and in the tattered military uniform, a bandage torn from his shirt could be seen wrapped around it. Step by step, he walked in front of the officer, he didn't say much, and gave the order to retreat.
Because the chief of staff was injured, at the behest of Yue Qiluo, the soldiers grabbed a large carriage from the village confidently. Yue Qiluo helped Zhang Xianzong get into the car. After Zhang Xianzong sat down, he didn't move.
The blood was still oozing out, Yue Qiluo reached out and touched his face. His face was cold and his skin was losing elasticity. Zhang Xianzong wanted to blink, but his eyelids were no longer obeying his orders.
The carriage was on the road, and in the sound of the wheels moving, he asked softly, "Qiluo, am I really dead?"
Yue Qiluo sat upright and faced him: "Don't worry, I will protect you whether you live or die!"
Zhang Xianzong looked at him, and his gradually stiff face showed a desperate look: "I don't want to die..."
Yue Qiluo answered clearly: "If you don't want to die, you won't die!"
