Chapter 519: Chapter 0521: Twenty versus Eight Hundred [Part 2]

Kang Xuesong looked at Kanni, his expression hesitant, and said, "General, think about it, they definitely won’t notify the Government Army. As long as we do it cleanly and kill everyone, destroying the bodies and erasing the traces, no one will ever know. Besides, General, in Huaxia we have an old saying, ’A general’s success is built on ten thousand bones; sacrifice is inevitable.’ Please don’t hesitate any longer."

The traditional culture of Huaxia, as spoken by Kang Xuesong, was simply a desecration of Huaxia’s ancient civilization.

Kanni was clearly persuaded by Kang Xuesong’s words.

Seeing Kanni’s inclination, Kang Xuesong eagerly pressed his advantage and said, "General Kanni, if you want to achieve unification, you’ll definitely need this mine. I will go back and retake my company, you will be in charge of mining, and I will handle the sales. The profits will be continuous. Also, I can use my connections within the country to bring over advanced weapons from Huaxia."

Kanni gritted his teeth and finally discarded the last vestiges of his contractual spirit, saying, "Alright! We’ll do it. After all, they have only about twenty people. If all goes well, we can resolve the battle within an hour."

Kang Xuesong smiled and said, "General Kanni, those who accomplish great deeds must not dwell on the particulars. History is always written by the victors. When you become a king, General, who will even know what happened today?"

Kanni nodded and laughed loudly, "You are right, sir, very logical indeed. Attack!"

At Kanni’s command, over eight hundred men began to advance towards the mountain, preparing to take over the mine.

Seeing the hordes of people swarming over the hills, Fatty Tang’s face whitened.

There were eight hundred of them, forty times more than his own side. And they weren’t armed with mere firesticks, but guns.

"Brother Ma, do we have enough ammunition?" Chu Feng asked.

Ma Hong nodded, "We have sufficient ammunition, but they are too dispersed, making them hard to target."

Chu Feng said, "Then let’s start firing now, pin the enemies down at the foot of the mountain, and try not to kill anyone."

Ma Hong responded, "Brother Chu, you don’t understand the situation here. Being merciful doesn’t pay. Since they’ve initiated, they are determined to kill us. If we can’t scare them off, we’ll be the ones to die."

Chu Feng said, "Then let’s follow your orders, Brother Ma."

"Fire!"

Ma Hong spoke into the radio, then fired the first shot.

Ma Hong’s shooting was accurate; his first shot was a headshot.

One shot claimed one life, which made Fatty Tang look extremely upset. Chu Feng also struggled to adapt, but having gone through the incident with the Bai Family in Yunxi, he had some resistance.

Once Ma Hong opened fire, the other twenty or so men also began shooting.

They had all been scouts and special forces, truly coming through blood and fire. Killing was not something unacceptable to them.

The twenty men, with a staggered firepower setup and holding a strategic position, only needed one round to leave more than ten men behind.

Without even seeing the faces of their adversaries, more than ten men were left behind. These loosely organized troops dared not show their faces and retreated entirely.

Kanni cursed loudly, distressed over the loss of his men; it had not been easy to gather them, only to lose more than ten in an instant. His heart was bleeding.

"General, this won’t work, we can’t worry about sacrifices. We must charge in one go. Otherwise, we’ll be pinned here. They surely have reinforcements coming from the country, and then we’ll be even more at a disadvantage," Kang Xuesong said, frowning.

"Sir, they hold the advantageous terrain, and their shooting is very accurate. We simply have no chance," Kanni replied.

Kang Xuesong said, "Under the promise of a heavy reward, there will be brave men. Tell the people below, the first one who charges up, I’ll reward with one hundred thousand Huaxia Coins. Anyone who kills a person, I’ll award five hundred thousand Huaxia Coins."

In comparison to a jade vein, Kang Xuesong truly didn’t care about a loss of one hundred or eighty thousand coins. As long as he could take over the mine, a few raw stones would make up for the losses.

Upon hearing Kang Xuesong’s words, a greedy look appeared in Kanni’s eyes, "Alright! I’ll give the order right now."

Sure enough, with the promise of money, these men charged upward like they were injected with an adrenaline shot.

"These bastards are like they’re on speed, charging so fiercely, and with such intense firepower," Ma Hong said from behind a rock.

Chu Feng said, "It must be Kang Xuesong playing the ’under a great reward there is always bravery’ card. Use grenades. The area is dominated by brittle rocks; once the grenades explode, the rocks will shatter, causing greater damage.’

"Alright!"

Ma Hong listened to Chu Feng, nodded, and then spoke into the radio.

Soon after, Chu Feng and his men felt the whole mountain shaking, followed by a series of screams from below.

"They’re using grenades, damn it!"

Seeing another thirty or so men left behind, Kanni was truly furious.

After a round of grenades followed by a round of suppressive fire, even with money motivating them, they all pulled back.

"General, use the mortar," Kang Xuesong suggested.

"Using the mortar might draw the Government Army, which would be even more disadvantageous for us," Kanni replied.

Kang Xuesong said, "Continuing like this will also attract the Government Army. We might as well go all out. Let me first shout to them, if they surrender, we won’t need to use the mortar. But if they refuse, we’ll blast them to death."

Kanni grew ruthless as well, "Alright!"

Kang Xuesong had someone bring a megaphone, then shouted into it, "Nephew Tang, didn’t expect us to meet again, huh?"

"That old bastard, I’m going to slaughter him!" Upon hearing Kang Xuesong’s voice, Fatty Tang was immediately riled up.

"Nephew Tang, I know you want to slaughter me. I’m giving you a chance now. Lay down your weapons and come out, we can meet face to face, and then you’ll have your chance. Of course, if you don’t lay down your weapons, I don’t mind using a mortar to suffocate you in there," Kang Xuesong said smugly.

"This bastard, I’m going to flay him alive!" Fatty Tang was truly enraged.

Meanwhile, Ma Hong and Chu Feng’s expressions were not looking good. Their current position was just in a mine shaft that had been blasted open. If Kanni really did use the mortar, they would have no chance to escape.

"Brother Chu, if they use the mortar, we are bound to die," Ma Hong said.

Chu Feng frowned and then said, "Brother Ma, give me a grenade. I’ll see if I can take out their mortar with it."
