Chapter 281 Anchor Point Established

"Brother is wise and mighty! But aren't we being a bit too cautious?" Qin Ziwu hesitated slightly.

Zhao Pu chimed in, "Brother Wu, the chairman's decision is fine. While winning by surprise is exciting, it is also risky. The reason why those wars that were won by ingenious strategies in history are still talked about by later generations is precisely because they were very difficult."

Du Yu praised, "That's right. Those who are good at using unconventional strategies will eventually lose out. My lord, the best strategy is to proceed steadily and surely."

Qin Ziwen shook his head and laughed, "It's not as exaggerated as you all say. I know I'm not a military genius, so I don't need all those fancy tricks. All I can do is build strong fortifications, fight protracted battles, and make good use of my basic skills."

Qin Ziwu felt that this was indeed his elder brother's personality.

Before their homeland had developed to a certain extent, they quietly developed and let the Alliance grow.

Later, after Qin established a significant lead in homestead construction, it caught up with its opponents in a very short time.

At this moment, the harpy eagle descended from above.

Wang Jun released his hands and jumped off the eagle's claws.

"How about it?"

Wang Jun said, "President, the news has been delivered. The Tongmenghui has agreed to send one hundred young men. I observed that there is even internal competition within the Tongmenghui for these one hundred spots."

Qin Ziwen nodded slightly.

Qin Ziwu felt proud, saying, "We're doing so well now, it's normal for those people from the Tongmenghui to want to follow us."

The others nearby were not surprised when they heard this; it is human nature to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune.

Water flows to lower place, man goes to higher position.

The better the Qin Alliance developed, the more eager the members of the Tongmenghui (Revolutionary Alliance) became to join.

"President, shall we stay here for now?"

"Hmm, let's wait a bit longer. There's no rush with the homeland. Before I left, I told Jia Liangcai to send people to search for the altar and build boats to fish. Our war here won't affect the development of the homeland." Qin Ziwen narrowed his eyes. "Since we've already taken action against the Red Cauldron Building, it's best to eradicate it completely. Otherwise, if there's Liu Ze this time, who knows what other Li Ze or Zhang Ze might emerge next time."

He never expected that, in the short time he stepped outside, the leader of the Blood Letters would dare to row over in a small wooden boat to launch a sneak attack.

If he hadn't taken precautions and regularly assigned several people to take turns on duty on the rooftop, they might have actually been ambushed by the other side.

To be precise, the enemy did indeed launch a surprise attack on our home base and even activated our anchor point.

However, due to insufficient permissions, he forcibly closed the anchor point.

This time, the victory was due to the suppression of authority.

Otherwise, if the anchor point is really opened, without the vast ocean barrier, the two sides will clash head-on, and we will be caught off guard.

Until the afternoon.

The flames on the island gradually died down.

Around the Hongding Building, the ground was covered with a thick layer of ash and still-warm charcoal.

The air was filled with a strong smell of burning.

Yang Long led a group of people to clean up the debris and collect the charcoal and ash.

At the same time, some people were sent to dig ditches.

After digging for a while, they found that the efficiency was very low, so they simply changed the digging of ditches to building wooden pile walls.

At this point, even the most clueless person in the Hongding Building could guess what they were up to.

They're building a wooden wall around the building to lock them inside!

Soon, in less than two hours, two teams were formed inside the Hongding Building, attempting to breach the wall, but Yang Long led them back both times.

"Run!"

The dozen or so men on the other side abandoned their armor and weapons and fled back in panic, leaving behind seven corpses and one prisoner.

Yang Long stopped his brothers from giving chase. "Don't get too close, or you'll be attacked from the building across the street." Yang Long looked up at the Hongding Building. If something were thrown from the high-rise building across the street, even a rock thrown from the 10th or 20th floor could kill someone.

Therefore, for safety reasons, the wooden stake walls they built were all more than 100 meters away.

"At this point, you still won't send out a large force, so you send out this small force to harass us." Yang Long sneered, glancing at the captured man. "Torture him and see if you can get anything out of him."

The captured man was no tough guy. He couldn't even withstand the final round of seduction. He cried out in pain as soon as the first round started and surrendered immediately.

"I'll talk, I'll talk, but you're not asking me what to say?"

The fat man in charge of the execution seemed a little unsatisfied. "I've only just started, how come you've already given in? You're not as loyal and unyielding as you are in the TV dramas."

Yang Long walked over and asked directly, "Why did you only manage to send out so few people? Where are the others inside the building?"

"The floor leaders were all making excuses, and finally decided to draw lots. One person from each floor would be chosen, and I just happened to be chosen." The prisoner said with a bitter face, "Why don't you let me go? I can join you. I live on the seventeenth floor. I'm very familiar with the layout inside. I'll be useful."

"Have you ever eaten a human?"

The prisoner shook his head. "I've never eaten it."

Yang Long said calmly, "I don't like dishonest people. Kill them."

"I've eaten," the prisoner quickly corrected himself.

"Ha, I don't like dishonest people," Yang Long said, turning and leaving.

"You son of a bitch—" Before the prisoner could finish speaking, his neck was slashed.

The fat man standing behind him put away his butcher knife, a simple smile on his face, and quickly caught up with Yang Long, "Brother Long."

"Erhu, tell the brothers to keep a close watch and not give the other side any opportunity to take advantage." Yang Long's expression was icy.

"Okay, Brother Long." Erhu nodded quickly.

From the side, a man with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a full beard ran over and said, "Brother Long, Qin Meng said he wants to borrow a courtyard in our urban village."

Yang Long remained silent, then nodded. "Use it."

Since things have come to this point, borrowing a piece of land in an urban village isn't a big deal.

A short while later, Yang Long heard a voice.

[Warning: Anchor points are attempting to lock onto urban villages]

[Locked successfully]

Anchor point established

Yang Long paused, then turned around abruptly, looking towards the direction of the urban village.

"You all heard that?"

"Brother Long, we heard it too."

"It seems to be saying that an anchor point has been established."

Listening to his underlings' replies, Yang Long's expression shifted between light and dark. He had initially thought the other party was just using the place to rest, but this anchor point... seemed to be the thing Liu Ze had mentioned setting up in the opposite residential area?

Yang Long suddenly found it somewhat humorous.

Originally, we were going to set up anchor points, but not only did we fail to do so, one of our leaders also died.

Now, the other side has set up an anchor point in their own home.

"Brother Long, should we go take a look?"

"No need, we can just focus on our own things." After a long silence, Yang Long decided not to go; there was no point in going now.

Not long after, a group of people came from the direction of the urban village. When they got closer, Yang Long realized that these people were sent by Chairman Qin to help him build the wall.
