Chapter 109 third quarter

As soon as he entered Zongshan Castle, he saw that the people entrenched here were Kaqi and his Sienba people, Lieutenant Rong He exclaimed in his heart: God, this is Satan's arrangement.He immediately compared the strength of himself and Colonel Kaqi, and was taken aback: If there was a fight, three Sinbas would deal with one British.So from that moment on, he was always on alert, and he always felt that it would be a strange thing if the Crusaders didn't kill each other in this castle.The vigilance has continued until now, and more than ten days have passed. For more than ten days, relying on the large number of people, Si Enba occupied the main hall and the small hall on the second floor above the main hall, as well as the roof and the archery tower, and only gave up the two southern side halls to Lieutenant Rong He's men.The main ones who stopped the Tibetans from attacking were the Sienba people of Kaqi Commander. They sent people on the roof and the watchtower, and they were on duty day and night in rotation.Once you find a Tibetan rushing up, you will light the bundled gunpowder and throw it down.Gunpowder packets piled up on the roof like a hill, relying on their power, Colonel Kaqi was not worried that the Tibetans would attack.Therefore, more than half of his thoughts have left the Tibetans and concentrated on Lieutenant Rong He.

They were all in the same castle, Lieutenant Rong He and Colonel Kaqi didn't say a word.There is no communication between subordinates.The two sides were dead silent, but what was silent was only voice, not hatred.Hatred locks time, and each other's indifference and provocation are like a silent competition of swords.All aware: don't know what's going to happen, but it will happen soon. The outside of the castle is sunny, but the inside is eerie. They all waited anxiously, knowing that there was a disaster hanging over their heads, but they couldn't tell when it would come.The air reverberates in the sinister, the dim light makes the atmosphere extraordinarily chilling, the murder is hidden in the flying dust, and the shining thing is the horror that may erupt at any time.

Colonel Kaqi warned his people: In the consciousness of us Sienba people, if you kill three of us, we will kill thirty of you.The blood of three brothers cannot be shed where the god of vengeance ignores him. Lieutenant Rong He tried to arouse the consciousness of the higher race in the hearts of his subordinates, and repeatedly said: These mercenaries, barbarians, not only gang-raped the Tibetan girls who belonged to us British, but also wanted to replace us as the direct line of troops in front of Colonel Galan, as if we The British are mercenaries.Get ready, there may be bloodshed, there is a strong and constant breath of death in this gloomy castle.

They don't talk to each other, and they don't go to each other's territory.There is only one place that both parties must go to, and that is the underground cellar water.The door to the cellar water is in the middle of the main hall and the two side halls to the south, just in the middle of the two sides.After entering the narrow porch, there is a passage composed of seven turns, and at the end of the passage is a large water cellar cut into the ground.Those who fetch water have to go down about 50 meters along the stone ladder before they can stand on the platform where they can scoop up the cellar water.Although it is called cellar water, it is not the rainwater that is usually stored in cellars, but the groundwater that seeps out.Strictly speaking, the big water cellar is a big well hidden deep in the castle. It can be seen that the original purpose of building Zongshan Castle was to stick here for a long time.

The Sinba and the English have to fetch water every day, and they may meet each other in the narrow passage, on the stone ladder, and on the platform every day.Nothing happened, the expression of hatred is still silence. Suddenly, this night, Lieutenant Rong He discovered that the two British soldiers who had gone to fetch water did not return in more than enough time.He sent two more men to look for it, but they didn't come back either.He knew immediately that a vendetta and death had begun.He originally thought that once it started, the Sinba people would rush over with their guns in hand.So he was ready to deal with the open challenge, the machine gun was set up, the bullets were loaded, and sentries were sent to closely monitor the opponent's movement, but unexpectedly it was an assassination.He regretted that he hadn't acted first. The opponents were more insidious than them lurking on the water line. They were either waiting to die of thirst or going to die.

Lieutenant Rong He saw through the cracks in the door of the side hall that changes were taking place in the main hall. The Tibetans' luggage had become a bunker for prostrate shooting. Dozens of rifles and four machine guns were aimed at the two side halls to the south.The assassination is going on, and the open confrontation has been made clear. His only choice is to fight, and the only result is probably death.Since this is the only way to go, then we can't continue to wait. Lieutenant Rong He said to his subordinates: "Colonel Galan wants us to stand firm for 20 days, which is too long. If we stay in the side hall, we will either be beaten to death by Sienba people or die of thirst; if we kill the guards Sinba people, run to the gate of the castle. In about forty steps, we may not all be killed. But as soon as we go out of the castle gate, we will be beaten to death by the Tibetans. You say, you want to let Sinba Should the Ba people be killed, or do you want the Tibetans to be killed?"

The subordinates were silent for a while, and they all said that if they were beaten to death by the Tibetans, it could still be said that it was for God and the British Empire; Lieutenant Rong He nodded, gave the order to shoot, and suddenly said: "Slow down." He saw the gates of the castle opened, and several Sinba ran out.After a while, they ran back again and carried a woman to the center of the hall. The Sienba people who kidnapped the woman all said: "Come and see, she is much more beautiful than the last time." The woman is thrown to the ground.She struggled to her feet and faced the Sinba angrily.

Many Sienba people were stunned, especially Colonel Kaqi, who was speechless for a while, as if to say: It's so beautiful. "So it's her?" Finally someone recognized her from her beauty.Their three brothers were beaten to death by Lieutenant Rong He because they gang-raped her. "Hmph." A sneer came out of Colonel Kaqi's nose like a yak sneezing. Miss Sangzhu looked around suddenly, screamed and ran away.She seemed to be terrified and panicked. She mistook the direction while fleeing. Instead of running towards the gate of the castle, she ran towards the narrow porch between the main hall and the two south side halls, the water gate leading to the underground cellar.

But she lost her freedom before she could run through the door.A Sinba jumped out of the water gate, hugged her with all his arms and laughed loudly: "Mine, mine." The Sinba people didn't expect that at this moment, the British in the two side halls on the opposite side swarmed out, raised their guns and shot at them. The Sinba fought back fairly quickly.Finally got into a fight.Inside the castle, inside the Crusaders, the hatred of the English and the Sinba broke out again for the sake of women. Lieutenant Rong He threw away his team, rushed towards Miss Sangzhu, shot and killed the Sinba man who was still holding Miss Sangzhu, pulled her up and ran away.He wanted to drag her to the gate of the castle which was the furthest away, but she desperately dragged her into the narrow water gate which was close at hand.

"It's dangerous here, you can't go in." Lieutenant Rong He shouted eagerly. Miss Sangzhu knew what he was talking about from his movements, and shook him off vigorously: "Leave me alone, leave me alone." Lieutenant Rong He also understood, and said loudly: "Beautiful girl, I can't leave it alone, you are mine, mine." At this time, a Sinba man ran out of the deep passage holding a torch.Lieutenant Rong He raised his hand and shot him down, walked over to touch him, confirmed that he was dead, then picked up the desperately struggling girl Sangzhu, and rushed out.But he can't get out anymore, the Sinba and the British are still fighting. If they run to the castle gate, they have to go through the entire hall full of bullets. They are either killed by the Sinba's bullets or the British bullets killed.Lieutenant Rong He squatted on the ground, controlling Miss Sangzhu with his powerful hands, observing the front and guarding the back.He was worried that another Sinba would emerge from the water channel.

Miss Sangzhu said eagerly: "You guys can't beat them." True enough, the Brits have died a bunch.The gate of the castle is still closed, which means that no Englishman has escaped yet. Miss Sangzhu pointed to the back and said: "There is another exit to the castle, right here, here, the exit." She sat up and crawled in and out, "You follow me, I guarantee you will get out alive." Lieutenant Rong He understood and hesitated, not wanting to leave his soldiers behind and go with this woman.But all the Englishmen had rushed to the castle gates, and he had practically lost touch with them. "Will you go? If you don't go, let me go." Miss Sangzhu said loudly. The bullets in the castle were still exploding, Colonel Galan had no choice but to obey Miss Sangzhu.The two moved forward along the deep water channel. There are seven corners in the passage, and Lieutenant Rong He felt that Sienba people might be lurking in each corner, so he hid Miss Sangzhu behind him, raised his gun, and moved past them lightly.Fortunately, I didn't meet Sienba people.Lieutenant Rong He breathed a sigh of relief until he finished walking through the passage. But Lieutenant Rong He immediately discovered that the danger had not been eliminated.At the end of the passage, just as the terrain cut suddenly into the ground, he tripped over something.He got up and touched, and touched the epaulettes of a British soldier, and continued to touch, until he came across four assassinated British soldiers.He raised his head vigilantly, and suddenly felt the darkness shake, and five steps away, there was a crash.He didn't have time to see anything clearly, bang bang was two shots.Someone fell heavily. Waited quietly for a while, but did not hear any sound. Lieutenant Rong He crawled over and saw a ray of light projected from the top of the large water cellar, stroking the wall with a hole at the end of the passage, and a leg protruding from it , as if trying to trip someone up.Lieutenant Rong He grabbed his leg and pulled it hard, pulling out a man, a man from Sienba, who was already dead.Lieutenant Rong He fired a few shots at the hollow in the wall, and there was a sigh, followed by silence. The soldier's intuition told Lieutenant Rong He that there were no enemies here.He stood up, walked over, and looked under the large water cellar through the dim light at the opening at the top. It was dark.But you can see the stone stairs extending downward.The stone ladder is twisted in shape, which alleviates the steepness of the cellar wall, and is also equipped with iron cables to help people go up and down. Lieutenant Rong He gestured to Miss Sangzhu, "Where is the exit?" Miss Sangzhu pointed to the dim light above her head and said, "That's the exit, see if you can get out?" After that, she crawled down on the stone ladder. Lieutenant Rong He knew that the other party had lied to him, so before he had time to think about it, he grabbed her: "What are you going down for? It's dangerous." Miss Sangzhu said: "I came here to deliver poison, do you understand, poison?" Lieutenant Rong He may or may not have understood, but the important thing is not this, but seeing that Miss Sangzhu insisted on going down, he also followed.He can't give up on her, neither reason nor emotion will allow him to give up on her. He will understand when he goes down.When Miss Sangzhu stood on the platform for scooping water, she took out a pack of powder of the same color as the darkness from the interlayer of the pulu skirt, and sprinkled it on the water surface that was shining black in the dim light, Lieutenant Rong He neither stopped nor Instead, he looked at Miss Sangzhu calmly and said, "Ah, girl, you probably want to poison me too?" He knelt down, picked up a handful of water with both hands, and was about to drink it into his mouth.Miss Sangzhu pushed him away. Miss Sangzhu said: "Except for you, everyone in the Crusaders deserves to die." Lieutenant Rong He stared fixedly at her, and suddenly realized that he was already Miss Sangzhu's accomplice.He shook his head: no no.I also felt that he didn't dislike the idea of ​​accomplices, and thought strangely: How did I come to this point? Miss Sangzhu gave him a hand: "Go, go quickly." Lieutenant Rong He understood: "No, you can't go, if you go out, you will die." The important thing now is to hide yourself and wait for the Sinba to come and fetch water. Lieutenant Rong He took Miss Sangzhu up the stone ladder, exchanged clothes with the two dead Sinba people, and then hid in the concave hole at the end of the passage.Think about it: Once someone walks into the pit, they lie on the ground and play dead. After a long time, only a few Sienba people came to fetch water with torches. They must have boiled soup for dinner, and they took a lot of water.The words of the water fetcher confirmed Lieutenant Rong He's prediction: his subordinates, those young and handsome Englishmen, all died in the firefight in the castle, and none of them survived.But he is alive, should he thank Miss Sangzhu?No, thank God, it was God who let him meet Miss Sangzhu. The twilight at the top of the big water cellar disappeared, and came again.About one night. Lieutenant Rong He and Miss Sangzhu waited until the hunger and thirst became unbearable, and then carefully touched them out.The castle gates remain closed.The hall was full of dead people, some were killed by bullets, and some were poisoned to death.Lieutenant Rong He glanced at the place where Sienba people boiled water and cooked, and found that there were more dead people there.There are also living ones, not many, four or five, and Colonel Kaqi is among them.I don't know why they were alive, did they not have time to touch the poisonous water, or did it not work after drinking the poisonous water?No need to go any further. Colonel Kaqi looked in surprise at the two people who came out of the narrow water gate.Lieutenant Rong He and Miss Sangzhu also looked at each other in surprise.Neither had any intention of shooting, nor any desire to speak.After a moment of silence, Miss Sangzhu took Lieutenant Rong He and walked quickly to the gate of the castle. The door opened.The moment Miss Sangzhu and Lieutenant Rong He walked out, the Tibetans who had been waiting at the foot of Zongshan let out a burst of yells.After the goddess got angry, she ushered in the dawn of Zongshan Castle.Lama Lama, who sent the Goddess, once again showed his wisdom, oh, oh, oh. Lieutenant Rong He sighed: "It's only two days to twenty days, we can't hold on, what a pity." He stretched out two fingers and gestured vigorously. Miss Sangzhu asked accurately with doubtful eyes: Why is it twenty days? Lieutenant Rong He said confidently: "Twenty days later, Colonel Galan will lead a brand new Crusaders back to this place." He gestured with a gun in hand, "Our people are all over the mountains and plains, beeping beeping .” Miss Sangzhu said proudly: "We have Lama Lama, so we don't have to worry about anything." Lieutenant Rong He pointed to the Tibetans at the foot of the mountain and said in horror: "But now, these people will kill me." Miss Sangzhu shook her head and said, "I know what you mean. I will tell Lama Lama that you helped me put the poison into the big water cellar." She patted the other party and made a gesture of drinking water from poisoning. Lieutenant Rong He smiled bitterly: "If this is the case, it will be Colonel Galan who killed me. Miss, can you protect me?" Miss Sangzhu didn't understand, she shook her head in a daze. Lieutenant Rong He also shook his head like her, with a very disappointed expression on his face. At this time, the monks and militiamen who had been waiting for a long time to retake Zongshan Castle rushed up the mountain crowded with each other.Lieutenant Rong He instinctively raised his gun and hid in the gate of the castle.Miss Sangzhu grabbed him, snatched his gun, threw it to the ground, then held his arm and stood quietly. The Tibetan who ran up first stood in front of them, looked at Lieutenant Rong He and Miss Sangzhu suspiciously, seemed to understand in a blink of an eye, automatically divided into two streams, flowed past them, and flowed into the gate of the castle . It is a pity for Ms. Sangzhu that there is no Lama Lama in the crowd.She couldn't help asking: "Where is Lama Lama?" Someone told her: "The Dalai Lama has come to order, and he can't get out of Baiju Monastery." These words made Sangzhu girl puzzled: What do you mean?Then I thought about it again, it is different if it is the front-line supervisor, who can directly listen to the order of the Dalai Lama, and can't care less about seeing me, a woman who has been trampled by foreign demons.She took Lieutenant Rong He's hand and walked down Zongshan Mountain.
