Day One Hundred and Seventy-Fourth Night Attack on Dalangwei (2)
Seeing that the night was coming to an end, no matter how bad the gambler was at the gambling table, he began to be unable to hold on any longer. The banker said: "Master Zhang! I think it's time to call it quits today, and we won't be able to make a profit in just one or two days..."
"
"Fuck you!" Zhang Tianbo bet on a dozen "small" hands in a row, and all came out as "big". He changed the last hand to "big", but to his surprise, the dealer came out with "small".
He was so angry that smoke came out of his nostrils. If the dealer hadn't changed several times, he would have even turned the table over.
Why is he so unlucky today? Zhang Tianbo is angry. Ever since the internal response failed, he has not been doing well with Sun Dabiao. Although he is known as the "Three Hegemons", he actually has no strength. When he arrived at Dawei, Sun Dabiao felt that his sworn brother was not that big.
Now that he has fallen out with the Australians, there is no need for him to intervene, so he is rarely asked to go when discussing matters. Although he is treated politely due to past friendship, the cold shoulder is very obvious. Naturally, Sun Dabiao
His subordinates would not "remember old friendships". Not to mention that Zhang Tianbo's life in Dawei was very unsatisfactory, and he could not even see his family, wife and children. The man Sun Dabiao sent to Xinjiazhuang to pick up his family for him came back and reported: Mr. Zhan
They had already been "taken care of" and told Zhang Tianbo to "don't bother and just do his best." Zhang Tianbo was so angry that he was foaming at the mouth, but there was nothing he could do.
Finally, the silver reward that Master Zhan promised was given. Although it was only twenty taels, it finally did not make Zhang Tianbo fall into the state of "begging". Although he had a lot of property, most of it was buried underground at his home in the city. Some of the fines were left to his wife.
Brought to Xinjiazhuang.
When he was in Dawei, although Sun Dabiao was still responsible for eating and drinking, and he still had the "first-class meal" among the gangsters, the people below him looked at him the most harshly. Seeing that Sun Dabiao's attitude toward Zhang Tianbo became more and more perfunctory day by day, this first-class meal
The noodles gradually began to fail to live up to their reputation. Not only did the meat and fish taste less and less, even the preparation of vegetables became perfunctory. Sometimes he just ate a large pot of food and made up for it. Zhang Tianbo knew clearly that his food was intercepted by the subordinates.
After leaving, he didn't dare to say anything. He was living under someone else's roof now and was of little use to Sun Dabiao. Naturally, he could only have food to eat.
Frustrated and bored, Zhang Tianbo could only hang out in Dawei every day, passing the time with whoring and gambling. Fortunately, he was born in a government office and had a very good eye, and he could deal with all kinds of people with a few words, so his life was easy.
It's not too bad.
However, he had a lot of bad luck in the past few days. First, he was called by the leader of Sun Dabiao's subordinates, saying that he also had to "watch the night." Zhang Tianbo had to go to Sun Dabiao to beg him, and he was relieved of this errand; and then not long after, he again
He was kicked out of his residence: like Sun Dabiao and his big bosses, he originally lived in the only three unburned courtyards in Dawei. However, the person in charge said that the place where he lived "needs to be repaired" and he would not wait.
He agreed and sent his luggage outside the yard, where he was divided into a "house" with broken bricks and tile walls, burned wood as beams and a straw roof.
This kind of "house" was temporarily built by Sun Dabiao using the burned construction waste after he returned to Dawei. Although such a shed is not an ordinary one, but he came to this "shed" from a regular house.
", one can imagine his position in Sun Dabiao's mind. Zhang Tianbo was forced to beg for help again. Unexpectedly, Sun Dabiao was vague this time, and only said: "I will ask after the house is repaired.
"My dear brother is back." However, when he went over and saw that the house where he lived had already been occupied by new people.
Zhang Tianbo did not dare to argue with Sun Dabiao, so he had to endure the humiliation and go back to "make do". From then on, he knew that he had become an "outcast" with his brother.
"Sun Dabiao, you bastard, you will die a good death!" Zhang Tianbo cursed secretly, but felt vaguely regretful in his heart. If he had known that Sun Dabiao was such a bastard, even if he did not work as an errand for the Australians, he would not have had to follow Sun Dabiao into the muddy waters.
. He was cursing in his heart, but Zhang Tianbo also knew that it was impossible for him to go back to the past. He had offended the Australians to death. Now, no matter how evil Sun Dabiao is, he can only stay with him for the first time.
His gambling luck also turned into a mess: almost to the point where he was bound to lose every time he gambled. Today, he finally collected some money to prepare to recover his losses, but unexpectedly, he lost even more miserably and completely than the previous few days.
"Play another game, I still have money!" After saying that, Zhang Tianbo subconsciously touched his bag, but he didn't even touch a single penny and had already lost everything.
Someone on the side advised him: "Master Zhang! You are not lucky today. Stop gambling. It is almost dawn. Don't fight with your life..."
Zhang Tianbo felt unwilling and said: "I, Zhang Tianbo, can be regarded as a person with a fist and a horse racing figure in Yangshan County. Are you afraid that I will borrow money?" After that, he still wanted to find someone to borrow money.
But no one was willing to lend him money. As he was cursing, someone suddenly whispered from behind him: "If you want to borrow money, I have it here."
Zhang Tianbo was overjoyed when he heard this, turned around and said: "As long as you are willing to borrow, you can ask for any interest you want. I, Zhang Tianbo, always keep my word..."
Before he could turn around, someone grabbed his neck. Zhang Tianbo was shocked. Just as he was about to struggle, his right hand was twisted behind his back, causing severe pain in his wrist and making him unable to move.
Looking around again, I don't know when there were more than a dozen people around, all holding blunderbuss and daggers. The gamblers at the gambling table were all dumbfounded. Their faces were dark under the extinguished torches, and they really looked like ghosts. There was one
Probably trying to struggle or call for help, he collapsed under the table, and a pool of dark liquid under his body was expanding.
As soon as Zhang Tianbo saw this blunderbuss, he knew it was an Australian! In an instant, his liver and gallbladder were shattered, his waist and legs were sore, and he almost responded to the phrase "feces and urine".
"Are you Zhang Tianbo?" the leading man asked in a low voice.
"Little...no..." Zhang Tianbo quickly denied.
The leading man nodded slightly and asked the surrounding gangsters: "Do you think he is?"
The gangsters were unexpectedly attacked by the Australians. They were stunned for a moment. When they saw the other party asking questions, they quickly said: "Deputy! This person is Zhang Tianbo!" As soon as he finished speaking, someone came to kill him: "This kid is really bad!
He is a famous bad guy in Yangshan County and one of the Three Hegemons of Yangshan!"
Zhang Tianbo groaned secretly. He knew that he had no chance of survival in the hands of the Australians this time. Taking advantage of the opponent's hand to loosen slightly, he touched the left leg strap with his left hand: there was a small, thin and fast dagger hidden inside.
Unexpectedly, someone noticed something unusual before his fingers even touched the leggings. The man lifted it up with both hands, and one of Zhang Tianbo's arms felt severe pain as if it was about to break. He couldn't help but beg for mercy: "Master, have mercy on me."
!Master, have mercy!”
The man took out the dagger from his leggings, weighed it for a moment, and said with a smile: "It is indeed a good knife. I accepted it with a smile." Then he inserted the dagger into his waist and asked again:
"Since you want to survive, where is Sun Dabiao?"
Dawei was burnt to a white ground, and there were three relatively intact courtyards of different sizes. There were not many people in the Li Miao Company, so they couldn't take care of them one by one. They could only come to a central place to bloom, and kill Sun Dabiao himself first.
"Sun Dabiao and his main men live in the 'Lao Henghe' mountain goods store," Zhang Tianbo heard and asked Sun Dabiao where he lived, and immediately sold his brother without any psychological burden.
The mountain company arrived at Dawei at around three in the morning. Although the county squadron was much closer than the county squadron, it arrived half an hour later than them. After the two sides met outside Dawei, Zhen Huan made arrangements:
The Shandi Company entered Dawei's "Central Blossom" and managed to remove Sun Dabiao and his main leaders, causing the bandits in Dawei to flee in chaos.
"There are only two entrances and exits to Dawei. One way is to Yonghua Yao District, which is a road to death. If they don't go there, the Yao people in Yonghua will not let them go; the other is to the county seat.
direction. They can only run towards the county seat. So you set up a pocket at this intersection..."
Taking advantage of the darkness, Zhen Huan led the team outside Dawei. Sun Dabiao's defense was obviously not tight at all. Since Dawei was burned, the village was actually undefended. In addition to using the natural terrain, only
He built a rough wooden fence with a gap big enough for people to get through. Although he had begun to build the wall, except for people, he did not have enough material and financial resources, so the project progress was slow. Only a small section of the wall was built these days.
Most places still rely on deer villages and fences.
In order to make up for the lack of defensive consensus, Sun Dabiao's countermeasure was to build all his men's shacks next to the wooden fence and use manpower to maintain the cordon so that they could immediately get up and fight on the spot once the alarm was given.
However, in the early morning, it is the time when people sleep deeply. Not to mention the people who sleep peacefully in the shack, even the sentries on duty are so sleepy that they can't open their eyes. The soldiers of the mountain company only used daggers and poisoned weapons.
The crossbow bolts were touched. The training syllabus of the mountain company at the outpost paid great attention to special operations such as "night attack". Many tactical courses were conducted by the special reconnaissance team. Although it was not as good as "the sharpest sword of the Senate", it was
It is much stronger than ordinary troops.
After entering Dawei, Zhen Huan was secretly anxious, because there were three intact buildings in Dawei. Although he knew that one of the three buildings must be Sun Dabiao's residence, he didn't know which one it was for fear that he might miss Sun Dabiao, the culprit.
The culprit ran away.
When he was hesitating, he found someone gambling among the ruins, so he decided to grab a tongue and use it on the spot.
Unexpectedly, he caught a big fish with this catch! Zhen Huan was secretly happy and ordered: "Each class will act according to the plan!" Then he whispered: "Tie up these people, and this," he said
Referring to Zhang Tianbo, "We must guard him closely and don't let him escape!"
