Mengshan Army

Maoyang Town, as Cao Kun’s advance base for this campaign against Mengshan, became the concentration of supplies after the brigade entered the mountain. Originally, a troop was left to guard the town, but because the official army’s attack went smoothly, they broke through on the first day. The Louzi position is approaching the Tianmen.Although there was a fierce battle at Tianmen later, Cao Kun's attack was frustrated, so he transferred the left-behind team up the mountain.Cao Kun is not worried about the safety of Maoyang Town, because it is behind him.Moreover, there is still Li Fu's troops withdrawing from Zhangjiazhai to rest.

Of course he would not have expected that Long Qian's small group of troops would get rid of his arrest by taking advantage of the location after they voluntarily withdrew from the position, and marched westward, and even had the idea of ​​Mao Yangzhen.

Maoyang Town is a big town, and there is a market day every month.As the commodity economy has not yet replaced the self-sufficient economic model of small farmers, farmers' regular market participation is an indispensable means of obtaining daily necessities.Naturally, on February [-]th, the defenders did not have too much suspicion of the peasants who poured into the town from all over the world carrying all kinds of homemade products or empty-handed. He carefully checked the villagers who were going to the market.

Most of the soldiers of the Wuwei Youjun were farmers' children, but they looked at everything they were familiar with very kindly. Except for the soldiers who were sentry at the four gates, all the officers and soldiers who wandered around the town in the morning gathered back to the town hall for a banquet.The gentry in the town specially invited the chief of the garrison to a banquet at the town hall, wishing that the officers and soldiers would be wiped out in one fell swoop and bring disaster to the Mengshan bandits in the village. This is indeed a great event worthy of celebration.

Li Fu and another supply team officer named Liang Huada were drinking in the town hall at the moment, and the officers were sitting in a separate room, accompanied by several prominent figures in the town.The soldiers were having dinner in the yard, the wine was half full, but the dishes were still served at a high price.The courtyard was full of shouts of boxing-guessing orders, a scene of peace.

The red-faced soldiers who were drinking and drinking didn't notice that the waiter who served the food had changed. When a big man suddenly blocked the door of the main room, he raised a hand-throwing bomb and shouted to order the officers in the room not to move. Suddenly, someone was giggling, "Fuck, what are you kidding?"

Immediately afterwards, several food delivery guys in the yard pulled out bombs from their fat waists and held them up, "Sit down obediently for me! Otherwise, we will die together!"

This gang of desperadoes who were murderous in the eyes of the officers and soldiers was of course the elite of Xianzhuang led by Long Qian.

Long Qian's plan was very simple. He selected ten people from Wang Mingyuan and Lu Shan's team according to the standard of boldness and carefulness, and divided them into two groups. Long Qian personally led one group, Jiang Yun led the way, and Wang Mingyuan and Lu Shan led the other Group.Infiltrate the town first, go to the hotel owned by Jiang Yun's cousin, use daggers to force the boss and all the diners, tie up the Wuguan personnel, gag their mouths and lock them into the firewood room, then Long Qian and others replaced the assistants Clothes and food boxes were successfully sneaked into the town hall. Each of them hid a hand-thrown bomb seized in Zhangjiazhai. These bombs that were not used in the defensive battle of Mengshan finally came in handy. .Long Qian has already taught everyone the method to use, but he told these subordinates who dared to die, that they must not pull the string without his order!

The rest, led by Feng Guozhu, Ye Yanbing, Feng Lun, Cheng Erhu and others, approached the gate of the village in makeup, and immediately seized the gate by force when the gunshot fired in the town!

Long Qian was personally in charge of the officers in the main room. Now, he held up the bomb with one hand and took out the dagger with the other. The dagger was immediately put on the neck of the officer sitting above him. He didn't know that that person fought against him in Zhangjiazhai Li Fu, the team officer.

Li Fu's alcohol turned into cold sweat!Out of a subconscious movement, Li Fu was about to raise his hand to push away the chilly dagger, when Long Qian flipped his wrist, and the sharp dagger immediately cut open Li Fu's carotid artery!

With a scream, blood spurted out far away, turning an officer sitting next to Li Fu into a bloody man.Li Fu clutched his wound and fell to the ground!Twitched a few times and died!

"Don't force me! We have no grievances or grievances. Sit still and don't move. I don't want to kill any more." Long Qian didn't wait for the others to make a move, and immediately put the dagger stained with Li Fu's blood on the other side next to Li Fu. On the neck of a middle-aged officer!

"Order, tell your brothers not to move!"

"Don't move! Brothers, don't resist." This person was Liang Huada, the captain of the supply team. Shocked by Li Fu's tragic death, he obediently gave the order.

All the officers and soldiers in the courtyard fell into a state of petrification. The door of the main room was wide open. Several officers and soldiers saw Li Fu being killed. .

"Jiang Yun, take away their guns." Long Qian's heart was also extremely nervous.

Most of the guns of the officers and soldiers are in the warehouse of the town hall, which is easy to handle.The clever Jiang Yun had already found the warehouse, took out two guns, first pushed and loaded them with Wang Mingyuan, stood on a stool to force the spot, and the rest went to get the guns one by one, and the situation was basically under control.

After the officer in the hall was cornered by his subordinates with guns, Long Qian took a loaded foreign gun and fired into the sky.

Soon, gunshots came from outside, and Long Qian knew that this adventure was a success.

Long Qian's plan was a complete success, and the Eighth Team won Maoyang Town in one fell swoop.

But this battle still caused four deaths and seven injuries. The casualties at the gate of the village were actually very small. When the gunshots rang out in the village, the sentinel found that suddenly several farmers who were talking near the gate of the village rushed towards them, and the short-term resistance was immediately shattered.Originally, there were only six sentinels at the gate of the village, two in the north and one in the south, and one in the east.

The real battle took place in the back, Long Qian ignored that there were more than [-] minor and serious injuries in the officers and soldiers. The wounded and sick immediately organized to resist, but they were blocked by the Mengshan bandits who rushed in, and the two sides shot at each other.In addition, there were more than a dozen officers and soldiers who were hanging out elsewhere, all ran to the town hall, and fought with the Mengshan bandits who entered the village.When Long Qian arrived, there were already casualties. Long Qian arrived and ordered the attack to stop.

Let Lu Shan command the brigade to surround the courtyard where the wounded soldiers lived, Feng Guozhu's and Ye Yanbing's squads took over the defense of the village gate respectively, Long Qian returned to the town hall, the officers and soldiers who had been captured in a daze had already crouched on the ground with their heads in their hands.

"Who is the highest official among you? Stand up and speak." Long Qian shouted.

"It's me. If you have anything to say to me, don't hurt the unarmed people." Liang Huada, the team officer of the transportation team, stood up resolutely.

"I admire you for your courage and love for the people." Long Qian put his Japanese-style sword that he brought in on Liang Huada's neck, "Just do what I say, and I promise you and you The lives of my brothers are safe!"

"Don't expect me to surrender you, you gangsters full of evil." Liang Huada's humiliation just now turned into courage at this moment, since he is going to die, he should die quickly!Captain Liang said loudly, "If you dare, you cut off Grandpa."

"Listen to your accent, you are from Jinmen. Tianjin is a place where bachelors come out. As for me, I like to deal with bachelors. I hope you will be a bachelor until the end." Long Qian was not angry, and lightly drew the blade, and the sharp blade cut Liang Huada A strand of blood trickled down his neck.

"Brothers, you must not know how long a man's neck can last under the slow sawing of a blade. I bet he can last for a stick of incense," Long Qian whispered, "In a stick of incense, he Only his neck will be broken. Who will bet on it?" As he spoke, he slowly twitched the blade again.

Liang Huada didn't dare to resist anymore. The brutal scene where this bearded man killed Li Fu once again defeated his meager courage.He firmly believed that as soon as he struggled his neck would be cut off by this vicious bandit leader with a smile on his face.

"The hero, spare your life." Liang Huada's tongue was a little stiff, and fear slowly overwhelmed his courage.

"That's right, death is like a lamp going out. Don't believe in an afterlife, and don't hope that someone will avenge you, that will happen after you die, you know what a fart! Once I can't hold this knife steadily , your expectations, all your efforts, have come to naught. You can only exist in the memories of your boss, your subordinates, your parents and family members. Besides, they don’t necessarily remember you. Cooperation is smart choice, and there is no personal enmity between us,"

Long Qian moved the blade slightly away from Liang Huada's neck, "Now I ask you, what is your name? What position do you hold in the Wuwei Youjun?" Long Qian still had a smile on his face, but in the eyes of the soldiers and gentry present, Long Qian Totally the devil incarnate.

Liang Huada truthfully reported his name and position.

"Oh, it turned out to be Captain Liang, sorry for your disrespect. I, Long Qian, said Tuisi. I came here from Baodugu. The brothers are short of money and weapons. I heard that the new governor, Mr. Yuan, has all foreign guns and cannons under his command." I’m here to borrow a few.” Seeing that Liang Huada had given in, Long Qian took away the Japanese-style saber of unknown origin, “As long as you and your subordinates do what I say, I will guarantee my People will not harm the lives of you and your subordinates, nor will they harm the people of Maoyang Town. How about it?" The people in Mengshanzhai heard Long Qian say that he was a Baodugu, and they were a little stunned. Immediately understood.For hundreds of years, the mountainous area in southern Lunan has been the place where strong men gather together, especially in Baodu Gu. Maybe some people really believe that it is the strong man in Baodugang.

"Tell me about your conditions." Liang Huada covered the wound on his neck with his hands.

"First, order the subordinates in that yard to stop pointless resistance. I promise not to hurt any of them. Second, mobilize your subordinates, help us carry the wounded and supplies, and send us out of town! Your wounded numbers don't need to Go, when we are safe, we will release your people back."

This request didn't seem too high, Liang Huada thought about it, and complied.

The wounded soldiers surrendered after Liang Huada shouted.

"Fellow folks, we came from Baodugu, passing by! But don't worry, as long as you do what I say, my soldiers will never kill innocent people indiscriminately, nor will they humiliate women's family members or rob private property." Long Holding a sharp sword, Qian said to the trembling gentry in Maoyang Town.These gentry were picked up from every corner of the town hall by eight teams of soldiers, and now they are all gathered in the open space of the main courtyard.

This is an extremely neat counterattack.The whole battle ended in less than an hour, and Maoyang Town was completely occupied by Mengshan bandits.The hungry and thirsty Mengshan thieves didn't mind the leftovers of the soup, and immediately devoured Long Qian's order. Long Qian strictly prohibited drinking. This order was silently protested by everyone, even though they knew the leader's order was correct. But still can't resist the temptation of wine.It wasn't until Long Qian gave the order that he could take it away that the "public anger" was appeased, and he started chewing.

Long Qian's estimate was correct. Maoyang Town was indeed the supply base for Cao Kun's West Road invasion and suppression army. All kinds of military supplies were piled up like a mountain. It was unrealistic to take them all away. Long Qian ordered to find all the carts, mules and horses, as well as Pick out the most urgently needed guns and ammunition, silver, quilts, food, medicinal materials and cooking utensils, and try to load them into the car, and do not burn the ones that cannot be taken away. Facing Ye Yanbing's question, Long Qian said that these things are all The blood and sweat of the people, burn them, the loss is not the officers and soldiers, but the people.

Of course, the carts and picking tools basically belonged to the residents of Maoyang Town. Long Qian ordered compensation according to the price. Anyway, the silver and silver were seized. With great success, Long Qian's prestige rose again, showing that his orders would be strictly enforced.

This move also surprised the residents of Maoyang town.When bandits enter the village, they are thankful for not being looted, burned and killed. How have you ever heard of paying for things?The elder of Maoyang Town, the former mayor surnamed Qi, an old man with a fluttering white beard and a bit of fairy air, said to the residents of the town, "I have lived for more than seventy years, and I have never heard that Qiu has no crimes. Since the heroes of Baodugu are benevolent, we have to be unreasonable. Look at this, the heroes are leaving, and those who can get started will be used to help the heroes tie up cheaply."

Long Qian clasped his fists at the old man, "Thank you, old man, we're leaving now. Regarding where we came from and where we are going, it is a matter of life and death for the brothers, please keep it secret and be careful not to say too much."

The villagers naturally agreed that the sooner these plague gods would leave, the sooner the town would feel at ease.Mr. Qi solemnly agreed to Long Qian's request on behalf of the residents of the town.Someone quietly asked the old man, the official army will definitely come back, can we not fight against the government?Old man Qi stroked his white beard, stupid, there are so many wounded people left in the town, it's not like they don't have mouths.By the way, we have to take care of those wounded soldiers, understand?

These days, it is difficult to be an ordinary person.The strong can't afford to provoke them, and the government can't afford to provoke them even more.
