As boxes of scriptures, classics, money, and jewels were carried out of the Kong residence, Zhang Yitong was utterly stunned.
There were, indeed, so many things!
Just then, everyone suddenly heard a gunshot, and then saw a soldier from the Third Regiment, who was carrying the treasure, fall to the ground. He had a gunshot wound on his shoulder, and blood was gushing out.
Enemy attack!
All troops, go on alert!
Li Da, standing on the hovercraft, quickly shouted upon seeing this, then warily scanned the perimeter of Kong Family Manor, trying to locate the hidden enemy.
Everyone immediately stopped what they were doing. The soldiers carrying the treasure quickly hid behind the boxes.
The soldiers guarding the Kong family disciples also promptly raised their Yun Er model firearms.
Bang!
Another shot. The bullet grazed Li Da's ear and hit the machine gun behind him with a sharp crack. Seeing the bullet rolling at his feet, Li Da was instantly enraged!
These are Yun Er model bullets!
Everyone, be careful, they are using weapons lost by our brothers from the Second Regiment!
After shouting, he rolled on the deck and charged into the ship's cabin, then immediately ran to the engine room.
The moment he rushed in, the outside suddenly erupted in gunfire. Enemies were firing everywhere around the Kong Family Manor!
What's going on outside!
Fang Er, inside the manor, also heard the gunfire and questioned Li Da via the walkie-talkie.
Reporting, my Lord! Kong family reinforcements have arrived, and they are using the firearms lost by our Second Regiment brothers!
Upon hearing this, Fang Er was furious enough to explode!
These sons of bitches! They ambushed a thousand brothers from the Second Regiment, and now they are using those soldiers' weapons to attack me. They are truly seeking death!
Transmit my order, all hovercraft machine guns open fire!
If I see even one intact corpse, everyone will run fifty kilometers cross-country!
Yes!
Upon receiving the order, Li Da immediately relayed it to Huang Sheng and Zhao Long on the other two boats.
Three boats, six machine guns, slowly turned towards the outside of the manor. Just as their muzzles were adjusted, they saw a dense mass of enemies charging towards them.
These people numbered at least three thousand!
They were armed with firearms, bows and arrows, swords, sabers, and spears – all sorts of weapons.
My Lord said, leave no one alive. Kill!
Li Da roared into the walkie-talkie and opened fire with his machine gun first.
The walkie-talkie was first filled with the cold laughter of Huang Sheng and Zhao Long, and then the machine guns on the other two boats also opened fire.
The six machine guns unleashed bullets that intertwined to form a fiery path of death!
The 30mm cannon shells hit the approaching enemies, instantly tearing them apart. They continued with undiminished momentum, passing through several more bodies before their kinetic energy was depleted.
This was a massacre!
But it was a righteous massacre!
All enemies who dared to attack the Tianhuo Army would be mercilessly killed.
The flying flesh and limbs stunned the charging enemies.
Anyone who dared to be distracted at this moment could only become a target for the machine guns.
Witnessing their companions being blown into pieces of bloody meat beside them, over a thousand of the three thousand enemy soldiers were eliminated by the machine guns in less than ten seconds.
This wasn't a rescue; it was a suicide mission!
Retreat! Retreat! Quick, retreat!
Someone among the bandits began shouting to retreat.
But before he could even shout, many had already started fleeing. At this point, not running was like being kicked in the head by a donkey.
I am that donkey!
The consequence of being kicked was to be blown to pieces like the brothers ahead, dying without a complete corpse!
Run? If any of you manage to escape, I'll eat my shit standing on my head today!
Wang Xuance and Zhou Yanxi had already charged out of the manor. Seeing the fleeing bandits, they let out a fierce declaration.
Then, they each jumped onto a boat, immediately took off, and pursued the bandits.
The two boats, one on the left and one on the right, sandwiched the fleeing bandits between them. The machine guns mercilessly reaped the lives of these rebels.
They dared to attack the disaster relief national bonds; they were not fit to live in this world!
As the hovercraft pursued, Hao Da Niu also led the soldiers of the Third Regiment to clear out any survivors missed by the machine guns.
Infantry and naval cooperation!
In less than ten minutes, the three thousand invading enemies were reduced to scattered remnants of a hundred or so.
These people were completely terrified, their limbs weak, and they collapsed on the ground, surrounded by the approaching soldiers of the Fourth Regiment.
Hao Da Niu!
The hovercraft stopped and the engines cut off nearby. Li Da stood at the bow of the ship and reminded the commander of the Third Regiment.
My Lord's order is to leave no survivors! Leave no complete corpses!
Hao Da Niu, who was about to tie up the bandits, immediately drew the broadsword from his back and glared at the bandits on the ground, cursing.
You sons of bitches, go down and confess to my brothers!
With that, he swung his broadsword and slashed at the bandits.
My Lord said, leave no complete corpses!
Then a beheading!
Swoosh!
As the blade flashed, the large head flew three to five meters away.
Revenge!
The soldiers of the Third Regiment also shouted and waved their broadswords, finishing off the remaining bandits one by one.
In just one day, this branch of the Kong family, along with the reinforcements they had summoned, was completely annihilated!
Kong Huiqing also failed to escape. His entire family, old and young, were captured like rats from a tunnel. However, Fang Er kept them waiting, neither beating, nor scolding, nor interrogating them.
It took two full days to clear the battlefield and inventory the Kong family's warehouses!
When the results were out, Hao Da Niu reported to Fang Er: Reporting, my Lord! The inventory outside the manor is complete. A total of three thousand five hundred enemies were eliminated, but only three hundred firearms were found.
In addition, over one thousand four hundred Kong family bandits were captured.
How is our injured brother?
Fang Er asked him.
Reporting, my Lord, he is fine, the wound was not fatal.
That's good. Let him stay on the ship to recuperate; he doesn't need to participate in further actions.
Yes! I thank you on his behalf, my Lord.
After saluting, Hao Da Niu went to relay the message to the only injured soldier.
As soon as he left, Guan Chang came over.
My Lord, the inventory is complete. A total of two hundred and seventy boxes of classics and scriptures, money equivalent to over 1.6 million guan, and countless jewels!
The looted national bonds were two million guan. The over 1.6 million guan here was clearly just the savings of this branch of the Kong family!
How many branches does the Kong family have?
If each branch has so much savings, how much would that add up to?
Fang Xuanling would probably have his false teeth knocked out if he knew!
As for those collected books, most of them were unique extant copies. If the news were to get out, scholars from all over the world would flock here like guests discovering that Yi Hong Tower had a new top courtesan.
However, a thousand firearms were lost, and only three hundred appeared this time!
Where were the remaining seven hundred firearms?
The commotion at the Kong Family Manor attracted several groups of Eastern Depot agents to investigate over the past two days.
However, they discovered that it was their own Lord who was taking action, so after reporting their findings, they all left one after another.
