335: Chapter 335 Someone really attacked the train!

This wasn't the first time the tracks had been stripped.

The reason a large number of patrol personnel were assigned along the railway was precisely to prevent people from stripping the tracks.

At the same time, patrol personnel could promptly set up warning signs in front of the stripped tracks to prevent the train conductor from failing to react in time, which could cause the steam train to derail.

Huang Lin always felt that this particular track-stripping incident was unusual.

He looked out at the pitch-black mountain forest; it was far too quiet.

There was no sound of insects.

This wasn't normal.

It couldn't be that someone actually dared to attack the steam train!

Lai Fu, the stoker, said, "I'll get off and see how much of the track has been stripped."

"Wait."

Huang Lin called out to stop Lai Fu.

"What's wrong?"

Lai Fu looked at Huang Lin with a confused gaze.

"Don't leave the train."

Huang Lin said with a solemn expression, "Haven't you noticed it's far too quiet around here?"

"Old Huang, aren't you just worrying unnecessarily?"

Lai Fu couldn't help but laugh.

"If you don't listen to your elders, you'll suffer for it soon enough."

Huang Lin said calmly, "If you're not afraid of death, then go ahead and get off."

"This..."

Lai Fu hadn't taken it seriously at first, but seeing Huang Lin's serious expression, he began to hesitate.

At that moment, a large number of people closed in from both sides of the steam train.

Hemp sacks hung from their waists, filled with stones the size of fists.

After approaching to within only fifty meters, they stopped.

According to Zhang Liang's plan, they were to wait until someone got off the carriage to check the situation before launching their attack.

But after waiting for a while, they still didn't see anyone get off the carriage.

Zhang Liang frowned; the steam train's crew was more cautious than he had imagined.

He looked at the sky; in summer, dawn came quickly, and in just a couple of hours, it would be light!

Zhang Liang gave the order to launch a forceful assault. Two hundred people emerged from the tall grass, pulled stones from their waist bags, and hurled them toward the steam train.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

The stones struck the train's glass windows, causing them to shatter with a crash.

"Someone really is attacking the train!"

Lai Fu was shocked.

He looked at Huang Lin with a grateful gaze.

If Huang Lin hadn't just persuaded him to stay, he would have been pelted to death by this dense rain of stones.

The passengers in the passenger cabin began to scream in panic.

A stone flew through a window and struck a passenger, making him cry out in pain.

"Everyone, get down! Hide under the seats!"

The crew members in the passenger cabin shouted loudly.

Upon hearing this, the passengers all curled up and hid under their seats.

"Kill!"

Huang Long shouted loudly, directing his men toward the cargo hold.

Yan San participated in the night's operation.

He knew clearly how many good things were inside those cargo holds.

He couldn't wait to plunder all those treasures.

Zhang Liang watched all of this silently.

The operation was going more smoothly than he had expected.

He had thought that Great Qin would dispatch a guard unit to protect the safety of the goods.

Judging from the current situation, Great Qin didn't seem to have stationed any guards on the train.

It seemed he would be able to easily seize a large amount of Great Qin's supplies tonight.

Thinking of this, a smile couldn't help but appear on Zhang Liang's face.

Si Chen, standing beside him, also said, "Military Counselor, we'll be returning with a full load tonight!"

Just as he finished speaking, a loud bang resounded.

"Huh?!"

The sudden turn of events caused Zhang Liang's expression to change.
