Chapter 295 Longyan Battle ([-])
Li Kaichun stood at the entrance of Yixiantian, and while waving a long knife, he showed a fierce face: "I am advanced, whoever dares to run, will kill everyone when I go back!"

At the same time, more than a dozen of his soldiers were also hacking and cursing with knives, trying to drive the flinching No. 200 troops into the sky.

Although the soldiers of the 200-odd guards were dressed in tatters, they still received a share of money and food, had drills, and had seen battles with bandits. They were basically the main force of Longyan Guard.

Today, Li Kaichun had no choice but to drive everyone into the first-line sky—if these 200 people were not sent away, his old man would go to Zhangzhou to be imprisoned.

Standing on tiptoe and looking ahead, Li Qianhu couldn't help having a headache when he found that the masters who had gone in before had disappeared, and hurriedly drove Cao Jun even harder.

After Li Qianhu was taught a lesson yesterday, he brought the main force to Tianhou Palace early this morning, waiting for dispatch.And Tianhou Palace is also very busy at the moment: the Red Spear Battalion is preparing troops, and it seems that they are also preparing for something.

Of course Wei Yuan was very busy at this time, so he just came out to meet Li Qianhu hastily, and left the rest to Ding Liqiu.

Ding Liqiu's side is also very simple: he directly sent 5 soldiers in green coats to join the guard team, and then it was over.Li Qianhu knew that his team would follow the command of these people.

The leader of the five was Squad Leader Wu, and the most striking of the rest were the two communicators carrying the radio and antenna.

At noon, these guards set off after having a good meal in Tianhou Palace.However, after the troops set off, there were always people whispering with sullen faces: "Heavy meal."

Li Kaichun is very aware of this situation, but he doesn't dare to suppress it too much, for fear that someone will mutiny. There is no way, because everyone knows that Yantou Village cannot be defeated by such a small number of people, so the morale of the team is low. No wonder.

Li Qianhu's only thought now is to take the team to Yantou Village, and then throw away their helmets and armor, or wipe out the whole army, as long as he can escape safely - a defeated general is better than being framed It is better to catch and behead him later.What's more, the shorthairs also promised him that he could get away with it, even though it looked like a trap no matter what.

Now he thinks he understands the situation: his team is used to attract the attention of the Yantouzhai gangsters, and to buy time for the Red Gun Battalion to wipe out Lin Shiwan's gangsters.

So, the bandit suppression army with different thoughts and no morale set off like this.

The team traveled very slowly along the way, and even took a big break when they lingered at the foot of Yantouzhai Mountain.But this break was ordered by Squad Leader Wu, and people also watched a tree climbing performance for free: a signal soldier put a pair of "iron sickles" on his feet, and then walked up the tree trunk.

After reaching the tree head, he let go of his hands, pulled out the antenna from his back, and began to adjust the direction according to the instructions under his feet.

Everyone looked up at the scene with their mouths wide open, and the messenger didn't climb down from the tree until the operator finished sending and receiving the telegram.Lord Qianhu originally wanted to ask what was going on, but seeing that Squad Leader Wu didn't want to talk to him, he decided to forget it.

The team rested for more than 40 minutes, and it was not until after 3 o'clock in the afternoon that Squad Leader Wu ordered to start again.

When everyone climbed up the mountain with fear and came to the entrance of Yixiantian, everyone stopped: this is a famous dangerous place, and it is a good place to lay traps. No one knows how many bandits are ambushing above their heads.

However, the team moved in the end: Under the cold gaze of Squad Leader Wu, Master Qianhu first loudly offered a reward of 2 taels of silver per person, and then drew out his knife and began to "drive the animals" with his soldiers.

"Beasts" are naturally unwilling to go in and die.However, just when the two sides were at a stalemate, and it was about to break up or cause a fight, Squad Leader Wu and the others took the lead, separated everyone and walked into the first line of sky.

Everyone was dumbfounded now.

But Master Qianhu seized the opportunity and roared: "Fuck you, kill the supervising army, your mother and I will be beheaded together, and I won't let me rush in!"

After saying this, Li Qianhu took the lead in rushing into Yixiantian while yelling curses.

Under the double threat, the cavalry soldiers finally crowded in and followed.

As the name suggests, a line of heaven and earth, when the soldiers entered this narrow mountain crevice where only the sky above their heads could be seen, they were covered in cold sweat.

Trembling, Li Qianhu opened his eyes wide at this moment, paying attention to the top of his head and the front at all times: he was afraid that the brave and unparalleled horse village chief would come out with a big knife and string them together.

However, the world is unpredictable, until the adults of Qianhu walked out of the first line of sky, there was no trace of the bandits?
Standing at the sunny exit, Li Qianhu couldn't help but let out a deep breath, and then he couldn't calm down again: after the first line of sky, there was a narrow ridge about 50 meters long. At this moment, the five supervisors had already walked three Two-thirds of the distance, and the end of the road is the gate of Yantouzhai.

In front of the gate, amidst the bleak mountain wind, a strange man with blue face and fangs sat like a ghost.

Li Qianhu originally wanted to shout: "Be careful, there is an ambush!" However, just as he opened his mouth to say something, he was pushed to the ground by someone who didn't want to, and a large number of soldiers rushed out behind him, and there was no place to stand under his feet.

Seeing this situation, Lord Qianhu could only bite the bullet and rush forward.However, when he was halfway through the rush, he suddenly found that the five supervisors and the ghostly man had disappeared into the gate of the village.

In the end, trembling, confused, step by step, the bandit suppression warriors moved to the open gate of Yantou Village after pushing each other step by step, and then they saw corpses all over the ground.

Standing on the square with a knife, Master Qianhu looked at his subordinates who were sitting next to the corpse and was eating chicken, and finally understood the meaning of Ding Liqiu's words before departure: "I told you to go to catch the leak."

They really came to pick up the loopholes: when 200 warriors rushed into Yantou Village, they experienced heaven and hell. no more.

By the time the dumbfounded insiders came to their senses, five or six people had already gulped down the wine in the altar.

The next moment, Li Qianhu, who was told the truth, jumped up and chopped down a fool who was drinking alcohol. The scene was stopped, but those who had already drunk were like people who drank paraquat in later generations. It looks like they are alive and kicking, but in fact there is no way to save them. Unless they can teleport to the hospital on Dayuan Island.

The funny and absurd bandit suppression operation started amidst the weird chewing sound.These soldiers, whose rank is only enough to be "joint defense team members", immediately transformed into robbers after they found out that they had become the masters of this place.

They not only stuffed ready-made things into their mouths, but also opened the grain storehouse of the bandit village, took out rice, salt, chicken and duck from it, and began to boil them in a large pot, without treating themselves as outsiders.

In addition, some people also tried to attack the public treasury - which contained silver and goods.

The group of five who watched coldly and the masked Nan Wang, apart from sending a report to the foot of the mountain, did not intend to stop these people at all: If Li Qianhu can't suppress the bullet, then he is incompetent. ledger.

Fortunately, Master Qianhu was also aware of the development of the situation, so he and his soldiers used machetes and bird guns to stop this brain-dead act of robbing the public treasury in time: "Grab a penny and kill everyone" to help everyone cool down. down.

After eating and drinking, the spirits of the soldiers relaxed.Only then did Qianhu dare to arrange errands for these people.

As mentioned earlier, the Weisuo military system in the late Ming Dynasty had degenerated into a de facto semi-serf system, and generals at all levels oppressed the military households under them extremely cruelly.

Lack of food, naked clothes, and betrayal of wives and daughters has become the norm.Over the years, a large number of military households have fled, and the relationship between "cadres and the masses" has risen to the level of "hate".

What's funny is that most of the time, the guards still need military households to contribute.This kind of situation is not a big problem when defending the homeland. After all, if the robbers succeed, everyone will suffer.

However, in an active attack similar to today's, the generals' control is actually very weak: the team may collapse at any time, and the generals themselves are in a state of being "blacked out" at any time.

Therefore, Li Qianhu did not dare to push too much at this meeting. After guarding the most important bank, these people went to eat and drink. After the situation stabilized, he began to issue orders.

The first step, of course, is to clean up the body.

The heads of Ma Shixia and several leaders were chopped off and packed, and they were going to take them back to claim credit.

The other bandits weren't so lucky.The shabby military households laughed and stripped the man clean, then threw their corpses off the back cliff, leaving them in the wilderness.

Those who can come out to be bandits wear at least thick earthen cloth. These clothes are rare and good materials for poor military households.

After looting all the clothes and personal belongings from the bandits, it was already dark, and about 200 people camped in the stockade overnight.

Tonight, the lights in Yantou Village were brightly lit, and a large pile of firewood was taken out to burn the fire. If it wasn't enough, there were buildings—it couldn't be taken away anyway.

Early the next morning, when the military households were happily eating white rice and boiled bacon, the support team from the mountain came.

These people were sent by Ding Liqiu, a joint team composed of the guards of various merchants and activists among the migrant workers.A team of nearly 300 men brought pack horses and muskets, and once they arrived, military operations were of little importance.

Soon, Master Qianhu fulfilled his promise under the instigation of the supervising army: he gave each soldier 2 taels of silver in cash, and also allowed each of them to take away 20 catties of rice and a little salt.

As a result, the military households who came to pick up the big leak with big bags on their backs were happily sent home. Only Li Qianhu and a few soldiers were left on the scene.

Oh, by the way, the military households also carried away the corpses of their own people-they died before nightfall, sacrificed on the wine table, and suffered from work-related injuries.
