Chapter 155 Soldiers Backstab, Peach Blossom Village Suffers Heavy Casualties!
Chapter 155 Soldiers Backstab, Peach Blossom Village Suffers Heavy Casualties!
There were more than 200 officers and soldiers maintaining order at the dock.
The officers and soldiers left only thirty-odd men to guard the dock, while the majority of their forces sneaked behind the Su and Gu families.
Both families had their attention focused on the bandits in front of them.
They were completely unprepared for what was happening behind them.
The officers and soldiers moved very lightly and quickly crept up behind the ranks.
With swift strokes, the officers and soldiers did not hesitate to attack the elderly, weak, women, and children in the ranks.
"what!"
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
"Help!"
Several quick-thinking villagers made sounds before they died, immediately attracting the attention of the surrounding villagers.
When the villagers realized that it was officials and civilians who were behind this dirty trick, they all panicked!
The first to be affected were the villagers of Peach Blossom Village.
The villagers who remained at the back were mostly the elderly, women, children, and the infirm. They had never been involved in any physical altercations and were all protected.
Seeing this scene, they were all terrified and fled in panic, not even thinking of resisting these soldiers.
Li Qinghe was among these people.
She watched as the soldiers mercilessly stabbed the villagers she knew.
His face turned ashen with fear!
But she was also the quickest to react, immediately shouting for help and warning others, while taking out the small bow and arrow that Shen Shuli had given her.
She took a few deep breaths, trying to suppress her fear and muster her courage before shooting arrows at the soldiers.
The weapons that Shen Shuli gave to the reconnaissance team were all modern military weapons, several times more powerful than weapons of this era.
Even though Li Qinghe wasn't very strong, he could easily draw a bow and shoot arrows.
Zhang Shengjie, Zhang Yongjie, Chen Xiaofei, Li Bo, Li Tao, Wu Liangliang, Liu Daqiang, and all other members of the reconnaissance team also realized what was happening.
They immediately took up their weapons and fought the soldiers, overcoming their fear to protect the villagers.
Su Yunhai had already heard the commotion behind him, and he glanced back while attacking.
Anger surged to the top of his head in an instant!
With just one glance, he had already figured out the key to it!
These soldiers must have been eyeing their supplies and secretly informed these bandits!
It's really abominable!
Perhaps even those fleets colluded with these officers and soldiers!
Otherwise, their original route clearly had one more stop, so why did those fleets insist on dropping them off at the dock?
There's definitely something fishy going on here!
Su Yunhai immediately instructed Su Pingan and Su Ding'an, saying quickly, "Second brother, third brother, you two go back to support everyone. Call Ziqian and Zicheng as well. Don't worry about anything else, kill all those soldiers!"
Su Pingan and Su Ding'an immediately nodded and called their cousins to return to the rear to provide support.
Shen Shuli was relatively far from the Peach Blossom Village team.
At first, I didn't pay attention; I was focused on the battle situation on the Gu family's side.
As I was about to change positions again, I glanced back at my own team and that's when I saw them.
Her pupils constricted instantly!
Shen Shuli didn't care much about the lives of the villagers, but she hated the backstabbing of those soldiers!
She took out bombs and threw them mercilessly into the bandit group, blasting open a blank area to relieve the pressure on the bodyguards before immediately returning to the team to provide support.
The moment Shen Shuli saw the soldiers stab her in the back, she knew that today's battle was definitely a conspiracy by these soldiers!
The anger in her heart burned fiercely, and a faint red light appeared in her originally clear eyes.
By the time Shen Shuli arrived to provide support, most of the villagers who were unable to fight had already been killed by the government troops.
This also includes the Su family.
Half of the able-bodied young men wielding broadswords also turned back to fight the government soldiers.
However, the number of officers and soldiers was more than 180, and each of them was a seasoned veteran.
The villagers didn't have many advantages at the beginning.
Fortunately, the firepower of Su Ping'an, Su Ding'an, Shen Ziqian, and Shen Zicheng helped to slightly improve the situation.
With Shen Shuli's arrival, the situation turned around once again.
Bombs were dropped relentlessly on the soldiers, who quickly collapsed, surrendered, and tried to retreat to the dock.
But how could Shen Shuli possibly let these soldiers go?
Immediately lead Su Ping'an to press the attack!
There were only about two hundred officers and soldiers in the entire dock!
Since the facade has already been torn off.
Shen Shuli had no intention of leaving the other party a way out, or leaving herself a hidden danger!
However, there were quite a few officers and soldiers, and they were very familiar with the surrounding terrain. Soon, many of them fled and hid in different directions.
Shen Shuli and Su Pingan were only two people, and after killing just over a hundred people, they could no longer track down the other soldiers.
Shen Shuli finally focused her attention on the group of officers and soldiers at the dock who had not yet made a move.
The area around the dock was originally filled with refugees, but when the bandits rushed down, the refugees disappeared.
The refugees had already sensed something was wrong and all disappeared.
Shen Shuli told Su Pingan to go back and support the team.
She stood alone like a demon, blocking the only exit of the dock and trapping the soldiers inside.
Seeing this, the officers and soldiers on the dock who hadn't made a move guessed that this girl was not someone to be trifled with and seemed to have their eyes on them.
Soldiers with poor mental fortitude did not hesitate to leave the dock and attempt to escape.
The other officers and soldiers also realized what was happening and, not daring to confront these madmen, all chose to jump off the dock.
Only five or six soldiers who couldn't swim remained on the huge Tanqiu Wharf.
They left puddles of unidentified liquid at their feet, making Shen Shuli tremble.
Shen Shuli showed no mercy, emptying all the bullets from the gun before stopping.
The entire dock.
Empty.
But Shen Shuli could sense that many people were hiding in the surrounding woods.
She didn't know how many of these people were refugees and how many were government soldiers.
But there are definitely a lot of eyes watching this side.
Shen Shuli quickly walked to the dock and kicked the soldiers' corpses ashore.
The river level has dropped significantly, and the area below the dock is at least two zhang (approximately 6.6 meters) high, and the water source is more than ten meters away.
She looked down at the soldiers fleeing in all directions on the riverbank below and fired her shots at them one by one.
Some officers and soldiers have already run far away.
Shen Shuli secretly switched to a sniper rifle and shot everyone within her range in the head before stopping.
But seven or eight people are still missing.
Shen Shuli held the sniper rifle and glanced at the battle situation through the high-powered scope.
The pressure on the Su family's team was greatly reduced.
A number of bandits surrounded the Gu family's area.
Su Yunhai has already gone to the Gu family to provide support, bombing them with bombs for free.
Seeing that there was no immediate danger to her side, Shen Shuli immediately jumped off the dock and ran towards the river.
Several small and medium-sized boats were also moored on the river.
Shen Shuli wanted to board the ship to check if any fish had escaped.
really.
on board.
She then found two soldiers, and they resolved the matter on the spot.
There were still many crew members and helmsmen on the ship. Shen Shuli shot them all dead and threw their bodies into the river.
To avoid suspicion, Shen Shuli sent all the boats moored on the riverbank into the river.
Let the boat go downstream.
That's right.
She set her sights on this batch of ships.
After all the boats had drifted slowly down the river, Shen Shuli returned to the shore.
Those unmanned boats travel very slowly, so there's no need to worry about them going too far.
No other ships will pass by, nor will it cause any obstruction to other ships.
