Chapter 188 Returning Home to Encounter an Ambush (Part 2)

Looking at Yu Manli, who had an innocent expression and a hint of unease, Ye Shaohong was momentarily stunned, then he smiled.

"Soul-defying marksmanship?"

"It's okay, you can continue..."

In this dangerous moment, she was able to deter both sides single-handedly. Regardless of Yu Manli's marksmanship, she was already very impressive.

Even Ye Shaohong and Zhao Jianzhi couldn't do it.

Under these circumstances, how could he possibly blame Yu Manli? If the timing weren't so bad, Ye Shaohong would have wanted to embrace this woman and cherish her.

"Missed it?" "Turns out he's a newbie!"

"Brothers, charge! Kill them!"

The enemies on the arched bridge weren't stupid either. After a brief moment of stunned silence, they reacted and were no longer so afraid of Yu Manli's marksmanship.

They shouted and charged again.

"Damn it, is this never going to end?"

"Shao Hong, I'll hold them off here, you guys get out of here."

Zhao Jianzhi hid behind a willow tree, firing back while urging Ye Shaohong and the others to leave quickly.

But no sooner had he finished speaking than an accident occurred.

Behind Ye Shaohong and his group, a dozen or so heavily armed gunmen suddenly appeared running down the narrow passageway.

These men were all carrying Mauser M1934 pistols. As soon as they appeared, they immediately raised their guns and fired at Ye Shaohong and his companions.

"Bang bang bang bang bang..."

A series of gunshots rang out, and Ye Shaohong's expression immediately changed.

He leaped forward, grabbed Yu Manli, rolled on the ground, and fell directly into the ditch beside the road.

Before he could check on Yu Manli's condition, Ye Shaohong immediately raised his head and fired back at the enemies who had suddenly appeared behind him as soon as he fell to the ground.

At the same time, Ye Shaohong did not forget to search for Zhao Jianzhi, Zhuang Yifan and others.

"Brother Zhizhen, Yifan, are you still alive?"

As Ye Shaohong roared, Yu Manli beside him struggled to sit up. Although her delicate and beautiful face was covered in dirt, she showed no fear whatsoever.

She wiped the dirty water from her cheek, then immediately raised her gun to return fire, helping to relieve Ye Shaohong's pressure. "Shaohong, I'm fine. Are you hurt?"

"no!"

"Team leader, I'm fine, but one of my men was shot and killed..."

Compared to Zhao Jianzhi's calm and composed demeanor, Zhuang Yifan's words carried a hint of panic, but that was all.

As he opened his mouth to reply, Zhuang Yifan was also putting up a fierce resistance.

"Damn it, these mad dogs, they actually mobilized so many people just to kill me?"

"I'll remember this grudge."

Ye Shaohong's side was already short-handed, and now with another person dead and being surrounded from both sides, the current situation can be described as extremely dangerous.

Perhaps in the next moment, they will be brutally murdered by enemy fire. "Where are they?"

"Grass!"

"The First Division mobilized so many people to surround and kill us, but what about the people in the Second Division? Are they all blind and deaf?"

"If no one comes to our aid soon, we're going to die here today."

Zhao Jianzhi emptied his gun and was changing the magazine. During this break, he cursed again, but this time, he didn't curse the gunmen.

Instead, they started cursing their own people.

"Hold on a little longer."

"Although this is not a downtown area, it is still within Jinling City. With such a commotion, the police and city defense troops will definitely come."

"Once the police and city defense forces arrive, we'll be able to survive." Ye Shaohong was also very angry, but he couldn't show it. In this situation, morale and fighting spirit were the most important. If his side lost the will to resist, then they would have no way to survive.

That's why Ye Shaohong deliberately said those words to boost everyone's morale and hope.

This is an act of resilience.

The effect was obvious. Hearing his loud shout, Zhuang Yifan, who had gradually fallen silent, and the surviving field operative also roared at the same time.

They rallied again and returned fire.

"Bang bang bang bang..."

Gunshots, curses, running sounds, and screams all blended together at that moment.

Ye Shaohong fired several shots, killing only one person and seriously wounding another. In doing so, he exposed his position, attracting the attention of several gunmen in front of and behind him. Their target in this operation was Ye Shaohong, and now that they had discovered his hiding place, they didn't hesitate any longer and simultaneously moved their guns towards him.

In a short span of time, more than a dozen bullets flew in succession from the narrow ditch where Ye Shaohong and Yu Manli were hiding.

Although none of the bullets hit Ye Shaohong and Yu Manli, they instantly tensed them up, making them unable to fire back and stop the gunmen in front of and behind them as they had before.

With no other option, Ye Shaohong could only turn to look at Zhao Jianzhi, Zhuang Yifan, and the others.

In the span of a few breaths, Zhuang Yifan was shot in the calf and collapsed to the ground, but he still gritted his teeth and raised his gun to return fire.

Zhao Jianzhi was experienced in war and was not injured, but he was in a sorry state.

As for the last remaining field operative, he was actually in the best condition among them. He hid behind a boulder and occasionally fired back. His marksmanship was not much worse than Zhao Jianzhi's.

"It's been four or five minutes, why haven't the nearby police station and city defense troops arrived yet?"

Seeing his companion's condition, Ye Shaohong breathed a sigh of relief, but his mind was also extremely tense. After realizing that the enemies on both sides of the street were no longer shooting at him, Ye Shaohong straightened up and was about to fire again.

Just then, Yu Manli's voice reached his ears.

"Master, be careful!"

As the urgent shouts rang out, Ye Shaohong felt his body sink as Yu Manli tackled him to the ground.

In a panic, Ye Shaohong looked up at Yu Manli. Blood was trickling from the corner of Yu Manli's mouth, but there was no fear on her face. Instead, a smile appeared on her face. "Master, you're alright. That's wonderful."

"You know, from the first day I met you, I felt that you were different from others."

"You gave me freedom and helped me a lot. Gradually, your image entered my heart..."

"Ahem... Shao... Shao Hong, may I call you that?"

Promise me you'll live!

Intermittent words reached Ye Shaohong's ears, and he saw that Yu Manli's face was growing paler and paler, and blood was slowly flowing from the chest she was pressing against.

In an instant, Ye Shaohong's eyes turned red.

"Manli!"

"No……."

"You can't die. You're my woman. You can't die without my permission..."
