The Republic of China: A Letter of Appointment Creates the Most Powerful Warlord

"Hurry, hurry, there's shooting going on inside. Brother Tian must have started fighting with them. Come on!"

In the alley outside the office, Zhou Ermao was holding a pistol and kept urging his men to rush out to provide support.

At the same time, the gathered bandits continued to pour out from all directions, equipped with homemade guns and cannons, and even some guys carrying guillotines, rushing forward roaring.

These guys usually just do some robbery and looting. Murder and arson are not uncommon to them, but this is the first time they have attacked the county magistrate's office.

Especially the young people, they were more excited than each other, baring their teeth and rushing forward desperately, wanting to be the first to rush into the office and chop off the county magistrate's head to make a fool of themselves.

After all, these outlaws valued face the most. Who wouldn't want to be in the spotlight for such a feat that was enough to be recorded in history?

"Brothers, follow me! Today we will overturn this office and avenge our brothers who were killed and wounded before. We will kill these corrupt officials and avenge our brothers in the Li family!"

The big boss stood at the front of the team, commanding everyone to charge, while he hid aside and did not move.

Before coming, he had inquired and learned that the new county magistrate had a strong background. The guards accompanying him alone numbered hundreds of people, and they were well-equipped and brave.

He doesn't care much about winning or losing in today's battle. He mainly wants to repay the Li family's favor and gain some fame at the same time.

As professional bandits, they also have their own rankings and comparisons within the industry. Whoever has a better reputation can use it to recruit more people.

With more people, more things can be done. As the team grows, they will have the confidence to negotiate with the government.

Nowadays, although being a bandit is free and easy, who among the men with real ideals and ambitions would be willing to be a bandit for his whole life?

Especially in this chaotic and turbulent era, forming a team to join the army, seize status and ascend to the throne are the ultimate goals that all men dream of.

Therefore, for the boss, winning or losing in today's game is a minor matter. As long as the news of smashing the government office and killing the county magistrate can be spread, his goal will be achieved.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry, everyone, hurry up, get in there and kill that bastard official!"

Seeing that his group of wolf cubs were charging forward vigorously, the boss added fuel to the fire.

He raised his pistol, pulled the trigger repeatedly, and shouted angrily.

"Whoever can rush into the office first will be rewarded with 100 yuan. If he can kill the county magistrate, he will be rewarded with 1,000 yuan and become the fourth in command!"

"Fuck, fuck him!"

"Get out of my way, damn it!"

"kill!!"

The bandits, who were already overwhelmed by their passion, were even more excited after hearing such tempting conditions. They rushed forward with all their might, wishing they could use their hands and feet and crawl forward.

At this moment, people kept pouring out of the alleys near the office. Hundreds of bandits occupied the entire street and surrounded the office gate.

"Fuck, blow open this broken door for me!"

The boss looked at the iron general in front of him, then looked at the wall that was more than ten feet high, and hurriedly called on his men to get explosives.

Things have come to this point, and no one has a way out. They must make a name for themselves and show their fighting spirit.

Woo!

Woo! Woo! Woo!

Many bandits gathered in front of the office, waiting to break in, when suddenly a heart-wrenching whimpering sound was heard above their heads.

Then, the sound became closer and closer. Everyone, who didn't know what was going on, raised their heads in confusion, trying to find out where the sound came from.

However, not all the people in the team were fools. Some of the soldiers who had escaped from the army suddenly reacted. Their faces, which had been flushed with blood, turned pale in an instant, becoming completely bloodless, and they howled while trembling.

"Bombs! There are shells! Quick..."

Woo! Boom...

Before he could finish his sentence, the first shell fell into the crowd. The bandits who had not yet reacted did not even have the chance to scream before they were blown to pieces on the spot.

Hot blood mixed with body fragments covered the surrounding ground.

The boss was in a daze and felt his face getting hot. He reached out to touch it out of habit, but found that his palm was stained with blood and his right ear had been blown off at some point.

Boom boom boom boom...

The next second, countless shells fell from the sky, raising dust and gravel all over the bluestone road surface. Above the street, there was a bloody mist, and corpses that were blown to pieces were flying everywhere.

At this moment, in the government office compound, Zhang Ye sat firmly on the armchair, just sitting there quietly. Even though there were explosions and roars of artillery outside, he still had no intention of moving.

He really liked the mournful music produced by the mixture of shells and flesh and blood, especially when he heard the enemy's howlings and screams of crying for their parents, he felt extremely happy and indescribably comfortable in his heart.

"Sir, let's go to the backyard. It's too dangerous here."

Lu Shan came up and tried to persuade him anxiously.

His ears were already buzzing from the sound of the cannons. At this moment, the two of them were no more than fifty meters away from the office gate.

Although He Wei has precise control capabilities, if a shell misses the target, they will all be finished.

"Why are you panicking? It's a small-caliber mortar, not very powerful. There's a wall between us, so why should we be afraid?"

Zhang Ye rolled his eyes at him unhappily, crossed his legs, and smiled pretentiously.

"He Wei is truly amazing. On a street less than 30 meters wide, he can precisely control the landing point of each shell from hundreds of meters away. He's a real talent."

"Sir, He Wei is an artilleryman himself. Mortars are just child's play in his eyes. It's not difficult at all."

Seeing that he had no intention of moving, Lu Shan immediately squatted down, listened to the roar of artillery fire outside the door, and asked loudly.

"I'm afraid it won't end well if we kill an officer from the Feng faction this time."

"What's the bad ending? I'll have Fang Yu draft a telegram and send it to the General Staff Headquarters, saying that bandits in Jingshan County are rampant and are gathering in broad daylight to attack the County Magistrate's Office."

Zhang Ye had prepared a script in his mind long ago, and he spoke nonsense without blinking an eye. He pointed at Li Zai Tian, ​​who was still breathing his last breath on the ground, and focused on his sermon.

"Li Zaitian, an officer of the Feng faction, came to the office to handle a case. He happened to encounter a bandit riot and was tragically killed in the hail of gunfire."

"During this riot, our unit killed 15 bandits and injured 43 guards and local police officers. We hope that the higher-ups will provide us with some military equipment and financial support to carry out our anti-bandit activities."

"That's a really clever move, sir!"

After hearing this, Lu Shan couldn't help but flatter him, and then followed up with another question.

"But why don't we report more kills? Maybe the boss will be happy and give you a promotion."

"Hey!"

When talking about this issue, Zhang Ye showed a cunning smile and explained with a joking laugh.

"Don't report too much. I have a use for every bandit head on the nearby hills. They are precious resources that will be wasted if we use them one less at a time. We absolutely cannot waste them."
