Lin Quan'an was forced to help, and then he realized that the money of the short-haired man was not so easy to make, and said: "Your accent is still a bit weird, so it's better to talk less when you go in."
When we arrived at the village, the gate was open, with horses blocked in front of it. There were also a few village warriors standing guard, and there were village warriors watching on the sentry tower. The defense was fairly tight. Lin Quan'an was familiar with the locals, so he fought
After saying a few hellos and stuffing some small items, I took Xue Ziliang in.
There are about two hundred households in the village, most of them have stone walls and thatched roofs, and some poor ones have walls and roofs made of bamboo. Xue Ziliang was very surprised when he saw it. However, he was not here for sightseeing. He just compared the appearance of the road with the roof.
I remember where I went. There were no pedestrians in the village, only some old and young people, probably all going to work.
Lin Quan'an was shaking the drum as he walked. When the women saw him coming, they all gathered around to buy some needles, threads and needles. Some people who had no money also used eggs and flour in exchange for them. After a while, he was already piled with goods.
There are a lot of things. Xue Ziliang followed Lin Quan'an for almost a week, and there was only one gate in the entire village. The village wall was only more than three meters high and was made of rammed earth and stone. It was very strong and there were almost no traces of peeling and erosion. It was almost the same.
It is as solid as cement, and there are a few wooden watchtowers here and there on the wall. You can see defensive equipment such as stones and rolling logs piled on the wall, and there seems to be artillery and the like. There are no defense facilities in the village.
, the so-called inner village wall is just a relatively tall courtyard wall - more than ten households of the Gou family are concentrated in those connected houses. In order to prevent fire, the entire house is separated from the surrounding residential buildings by a wide wall.
The streets, at first glance, feel a bit like a village within a village.
But if you take a closer look, you will see that the wall of this house is not simple. Although I heard that there are more than ten Gou family houses there, there are only two entrances and exits, namely the main entrance in the south and the back entrance in the north. Facing the street in front is a tall gatehouse.
On both sides are inverted houses with brick eaves. There are gun holes on the back wall, which can be used to fire muskets and shotguns. The thick elm door is covered with iron leaves and is driven with rows of large-headed pig iron nails. It is absolutely difficult to use an axe.
Cut it open. The back door is small but strong. The wall is built with stones and is about four meters high. The stones under the foundation of the wall are not thin.
However, these obstacles are not worth mentioning to the traversers. Xue Ziliang feels that it is unnecessary for him to conduct reconnaissance in person. With the little firepower of the military team, it is easy to defeat Zhuangzi. The only difficulty is how to open the village gate.
, the village gate is made of wood, very thick, and there is a huge door bar at the back. It is best to blow open the village gate directly, but the military team does not have explosive equipment, maybe use oil to burn it?
After leaving Zhuangzi, Xue Ziliang returned to the woods and wrote down all the key points he saw in his notebook. He also drew a map of the village. Those who stayed in the woods also took some photos of the appearance with long-focus lenses.
Wang Rui said to Xue Ziliang: "Let's send the reconnaissance plane out to take some information."
Xue Ziliang originally thought it was a bit redundant, but when he thought that the situation in the inner house was not clear yet. After conquering Zhuangzi, it would take a lot of effort to attack the inner house. The road environment was not familiar, so he agreed. Wang Ruixiang heard this, geared up, excited, and left
Went to assemble that big model airplane.
This thing is so huge that it takes three people to carry it when it is disassembled. Plus a bunch of miscellaneous accessories, fuel, a set of cameras and a laptop to receive signals. A few people quickly installed a large model aircraft. However,
I discovered a problem after installing it. There is no concrete floor here!
This kind of large model aircraft is no better than a small remote control aircraft. It has to taxi to take off and land. In modern time and space, it is easy to find a flat place. Even in remote rural areas, there are always roads or cement paved drying grounds. In fact, it is easy to find a flat place.
A playground or grass that is not flat is fine, but at this moment these conditions are not available.
It would have been okay to level a piece of land outside the woods, but they had no tools. Secondly, making such a big noise in the open land would definitely attract patrols. In desperation, they had no choice but to pack up their things and go back.
The first aerial reconnaissance mission ended in failure.
"We must develop a rocket-assisted take-off system!" Wang Ruixiang said hatefully.
"Let's go back and look for opportunities along the way to catch two people!"
"Tongue grabbing?"
"That's right." Xue Ziliang was already familiar with this Chinese slang, "You have to ask them about some things to find out."
"Sure!" A group of people were gearing up, except for Wang Ruixiang who was dejected.
Xue Ziliang divided the people into two groups and lurked in the woods on both sides of the road. This place was not far or near Zhuangzi, so he had enough time to retreat and avoid accidentally arresting irrelevant people. In order to avoid causing too much disturbance, it was decided that it was necessary to
When using force, use knives and Wang Ruixiang's short crossbow.
The weather in Lingao, no matter in spring, summer, autumn or winter, can be around 30 degrees during the day in autumn and winter. Staying in the woods without ventilation is so hot that several people are sweating all over. Even though they have applied insect repellent on their bodies, all kinds of flying insects and mosquitoes are exposed.
The flies kept biting them, causing the recruits to moan incessantly. Fortunately, more than a month of hard training had developed their willpower, and no one moved around.
There were sporadic people walking around on the road, but there was no one worth catching. After a long time, I saw a small sedan with a green cloth sail coming up the road. A man who looked like a gentleman was lying on his back with his arms stretched out.
Followed by about a dozen servants and servants, there was another maid-like figure, holding a package in her hand, walking beside the sliding pole.
Ye Mengyan was a little nervous, so he quickly crawled over and asked Xue Ziliang: "Captain, a big guy is here!"
Xue Ziliang nodded. It was obvious that he was an important figure in Goujiazhuang, and maybe it was Gou Da himself. Apart from the guide, there were four people on our side who had a good chance of winning.
He thought for a while and saw Lin Quan'an. The hawker was shocked - every time this short-haired man looked at him like this, it was bad. Sure enough, Xue Ziliang called him over again.
The person sitting on this sliding pole is none other than Gou Xunli, the second son of the head of the Gou family, the leader of the underworld in Lingao County who lives in the city. He recently received news that the pirates from Bairentan have arrived at the Ma Niao Salt Farm.
This Gou Xunli has read some books, has been in charge of government affairs in the county town, and has handled litigation for many years. He is very knowledgeable. He knows that the Ma Niao Salt Farm is a big source of wealth for the county, and his brother Gou Xunyi spent a lot of effort to control the salt farm.
The thieves sent a small team to the salt field, needless to say, to grab this piece of fat. A few days ago, they heard word from people in the yamen that the thieves came to see Master Wang and asked for it.
Taking charge of the salt class. Gou Er knew something was wrong and quickly ordered the sedan chair to go back to the village - countermeasures must be taken as soon as possible for this matter.
He is different from Gou Xunyi. The modern saying is that his appearance is not that ugly. He knows to leave a margin of error in everything. Therefore, although he is also a feared and powerful figure in the county, his reputation is not too bad. In comparison,
Gou Xunyi is a tyrannical person who takes both the right and the wrong, fearing that he will not be cruel enough to do bad things. Gou Xunli is a little worried about his elder brother. This Kunfa pirate is not an ordinary little bandit. If there is a conflict between the two parties,
The Gou family will definitely suffer a big loss.
Gou Xunli planned to persuade Gou Xunyi and send people to talk to the Kun thieves as soon as possible to transfer some of the interests of the salt farm and make money between them. He guessed that the Kun thieves wanted to stay here for a long time in Lingao. They were powerful, and if they could climb up,
It may not be a good thing to suffer a small loss in front of you. Just as he was thinking about how to persuade his grumpy big brother, the slide suddenly stopped. He opened his eyes and asked: "What's going on?"
The head servant came back and said: "There is a hawker on the road who wants to complain."
Gou Xunli cursed: "You bastard." He thought that it was probably the servants of the village or the villagers who robbed the vendors. These gangsters knew how to be lawless, and they didn't even understand the reason why rabbits wouldn't eat the grass beside their nests. He was tired of it.
He waved his hand: "Drive him away."
As he was talking, suddenly a bowstring sounded on the roadside, and a crossbow arrow was inserted into the neck of the sedan bearer. His eyes rolled, and both the person and the sedan fell to the ground. The group of people suddenly became a mess.
With a whistle, four people rushed out from the roadside, all waving bright short knives in their hands. The guard's servant had no time to draw the knife, and his neck was wiped and he fell to the ground, with blood pouring out from his neck.
.This incident happened so fast that no one could react. Several servants were so panicked that they even forgot to draw their swords. Instead, they picked up their scabbards and started slashing at the people who came by.
Ye Mengyan didn't have time to recall the feeling of killing someone for the first time, when he saw a servant with a ferocious expression rushing towards him, brandishing a sheathed knife. He couldn't help but take a few steps back, tripped over the corpse on the ground, and sat down on the ground - his heart was agitated.
Fear, mother, I'm going to die! I was confused, but I stabbed out the knife in my hand subconsciously. The sharp knife pierced the opponent's stomach like cutting tofu, and the handle disappeared easily. Ye Mengyan watched
Seeing the man in front of me with his eyes wide open, his face distorted and slumped down, and something like intestines flowing out from under his body, my heart suddenly turned upside down, and I spit out all the compressed dry food I had eaten for lunch in one mouthful.
Although there were many servants, they were unprepared. Four of them died in one attack. Arrows kept shooting from the grass. Everyone was not interested in fighting and ran away. Six corpses and two wounded were left on the ground, and another was captured alive.
They took three prisoners, including a maid. Unfortunately, the man on the slide escaped the moment the sedan fell down, moving as fast as a rabbit.
Xue Ziliang ordered the wounded and women to be taken away, and tied up the prisoners and left quickly. However, Ye Mengyan saw that the girl had a pretty face and insisted on taking her away. Xue Ziliang felt tired for a while, so he had to ask a prisoner to carry the girl on his back, and the group hurriedly retreated. What happened to these people?
He was not a professional soldier. After killing someone, he would inevitably panic and chase the prisoners all the way without even feeling tired. When Xue Ziliang saw that the faces of the team members became very bad, he quickly contacted Bairencheng via the radio and asked them to send a car to meet him. He waited until he returned.
When we arrived at the camp, before we could finish the handover and write the report, several people were already vomiting.
