The entire raid lasted less than half an hour, and Wang Qing was successfully rescued, and a total of eleven enemies were killed and three were captured. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

However, during the interrogation of the captives, Yang Rui and Qian Guoyu also figured out the true identities of the eleven people who were killed, ten of whom were bandit minions brought back from Zheng Yihu's cottage by Wang Kexing and Wang Kefu, and one person was the family of the Wang brothers, and the three people who were captured were the housekeeper, the cook and the maid. The Wang brothers are not among them.

It turned out that just this morning, the Wang brothers went out with their two family members, and they left a message that they would not come back for dinner at noon, but the three people who were captured did not know the whereabouts of the Wang brothers or when they would come back.

This time, Yang Rui and Qian Guoyu couldn't help but be disappointed, if they couldn't catch the Wang family brothers and kill them, then although this operation was very smooth, it was not perfect.

But now no one knows where the Wang brothers are going, let alone when they will come back, so Yang Rui and Qian Guoyu don't know what to do for a while, whether to stay here and wait for the Wang brothers to come back, or just withdraw to Wangjiazhai Village.

The two briefly discussed it and decided to retreat immediately. Because this is in Jiaozhou City after all, although it is said that the traverser has reached an agreement with the Jiaozhou government, but now that he has killed so many people in Jiaozhou City, it is impossible for the government to ignore it, so at this time, the Jiaozhou government may not be in respect of the agreement reached by the two sides, in case the Jiaozhou government sends a large army to arrest its own twelve people, it will be very troublesome.

Of course, with only their twelve soldiers, it is not difficult to kill Jiaozhou City, but now with Wang Qing, Yang Rui and Qian Guoyu are not completely sure, so they still take advantage of the reaction of the Jiaozhou government to evacuate Jiaozhou City as soon as possible, anyway, to rescue Wang Qing, it can be regarded as a completion of a task.

So Yang Rui immediately ordered to immediately withdraw from Jiaozhou City, and at the same time also took the three captured people out of Jiaozhou City, regardless of whether these three people were useful or not, but they were also the family members of the Wang brothers, and they could ask for something. When these three people heard this, they were so frightened that their legs were weak, and they couldn't walk anywhere, so the soldiers found ropes, tied up all three of them, and then wrapped them in a sheet, and two soldiers carried one person, Qian Guoyu opened the way in front, Yang Rui was responsible for breaking the back, and the remaining four soldiers were protecting on the left and right, and Wang Qing was also mixed in the team and evacuated outside the city together.

At this time, everyone no longer concealed it, and they all held rifles and pistols in their hands, and two soldiers with Mauser 98 rifles, with shiny bayonets, left the royal house through the back door, walked out of the alley, and turned into the street. At this time, the street was lively, and the residents saw the appearance of such a group of people, and they were immediately frightened, not knowing that this was the green forest heroes who came into the city to work, and looked at the work of kidnapping tickets in this way, because many people looked at this group of people and carried three large packages, no need to ask if this must be a living person. As a result, they took refuge on both sides of the street, and many paves were crowded.

The group ran to the city gate very smoothly, and the soldiers guarding the city gate saw it, and immediately blocked the city gate with knives and guns, and several Qing soldiers were preparing to close the city gate.

Qian Guoyu raised the Type 95 rifle, pointed diagonally at the sky, and fired several shots in a row, and said loudly: "If you don't want to die, get out of the way of me, otherwise the gun won't have eyes." ”

Only then did the soldiers see clearly, it turned out that this group of people was actually equipped with muskets, and it seemed that they were still repeating guns, and the Qing soldiers in the entire Jiaozhou City were only equipped with more than 50 muskets, or old-fashioned front-loading flintlock pistols, mainly cold weapons, because Jiaozhou City was not a strategic place, so the military garrison was not strong, and these more than 50 flintlock muskets were still left when they resisted the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

At this time, the soldiers defending the city did not even have a musket, and they dared to stop it, and they retreated to both sides to dodge, and the soldiers who closed the city gate only closed half of the city gate, and they all ran away, as a result, Yang Rui, Qian Guoyu and other people passed through the city gate very smoothly and fled outside the city.

―――――――― Divider ――――――――― Dividing Line――――――――

Just when Yang Rui and Qian Guoyu led the action team to carry out operations in Jiaozhou City, Luo Yue also led the brigade to leave Wangjiazhai Village and march to Ciming Temple to exterminate the bandits entrenched in Ciming Temple.

The People's Army was divided into three routes, Luo Yue personally sat in the middle route army, the first to enter his predetermined position, at this time the other two route armies had not yet entered their respective positions, so Luo Yue had a little leisure effort, so he used a telescope to observe the situation of Ciming Temple.

From a distance, the area of Ciming Temple is not small, but it can also be seen that because of disrepair, the whole temple is very dilapidated, the tiles on the mountain gate of the temple have fallen off at least half, the gold on the door box has completely faded, the handwriting is blurred, the vermilion paint on the door has also fallen off most of it, peeling off and peeling off, the two copper rings on the door are gone, and only one side still retains the head of the beast that bites the copper ring, and the courtyard wall has also collapsed in many places.

Although I can't see the scene of the temple and the main hall inside the courtyard wall, the courtyard wall is already like this, and the buildings in the temple are probably not any better, so it also makes Luo Yue feel embarrassed. However, through the collapsed and broken city wall, you can still see that the figures in the temple are shaking, and it seems that there are still many people in the temple, and you can faintly hear the sound of ridicule.

At this time, in the Daxiong Hall of Ciyun Temple, in front of the clay statue of the Buddha, Zheng Yihu is sitting in the center, and more than a dozen capable generals under him, known as the "Five Tigers and Eight Horses", are arranged on both sides, all of them sit on the ground, and there are more than ten large bowls on the ground, containing dishes such as chicken, duck and fish, and there are seven or eight large wine jars around at the same time. The crowd was drinking in large bowls and eating meat in large chunks, while the other bandits were either in other halls or under the corridors, in groups of three or five, six or eight, also sitting around eating and drinking, making fists and orders, drinking and drinking, and were very happy, stirring up the solemn Buddha hall and temple.

It turned out that these delicacies were all sent to them by the Wang brothers.

Although Zheng Yihu is just a bandit leader, but he is quite decisive, he knows very well that without the support of Wangjiazhai, his cottage is impossible to persevere, and now he has lost the logistics support of Wangjiazhai for two months, the conditions of the cottage are not as good as before, the gold and silver are soft to a lot, but the food is lacking, because there is no Wangjiazhai this channel, the gold and silver and other things that are robbed cannot be transformed into the materials needed for the cottage, and the gold and silver can not be eaten. Therefore, this time Zheng Yihu has made a bloody investment, bringing more than 400 bandits, it can be said that the entire cottage is dumped away, and those who remain in the cottage are only some old, weak, sick and disabled, that is, to help the Wang brothers recapture Wangjiazhai. It's just that Zheng Yihu didn't expect that the Wang brothers had no intention of retaking Wangjiazhai at all, but just wanted to use Zheng Yihu's strength to breathe a sigh of relief for themselves.

However, if you want to call others, you must first give them some benefits. And although the Wang brothers forced Wang Gui to drug the villagers and traversers, they didn't dare to pin all their hopes on Wang Gui. Zheng Yihu's men and horses are still an important force that the Wang brothers rely on, and Zheng Yihu's cottage is also a place for the Wang brothers to live in the future, so it is natural to envelop Zheng Yihu more.

According to the practice of bandits, before each major operation, a big meal was eaten and drunk in order to boost morale. The Wang brothers naturally know this convention, and they are not stingy, just this morning, the Wang brothers took two family members to buy 100 jars of wine in Jiaozhou City, 50 catties of cattle, sheep, pork, sea fish, 10 chickens and ducks, and hired two carts, all of which were dragged to Ciming Temple.

At this time, Zheng Yihu and his brothers had been hiding in this Ciming Temple for two days, plus three days on the way, and they had five days to leave the cottage. Although Zheng Yihu's cottage is not a big village in Shandong, but the assembly and material conditions are the best, ordinary minions can not only eat enough for every meal, but also can eat fish and meat every five and ten, when the leader is every day to see meat, there is a meal, there is wine, several more than 1,000 people in the village do not have such good material conditions.

In the past nearly a month, due to the lack of food in the cottage, although there is no food, the wine has been drunk, and the meat can only be obtained by hunting, not to mention the ordinary little minions, even Zheng Yihu has not drunk a drop of wine for more than ten days, and the birds are about to fade out of his mouth.

Although the bandits occupied the Ciming Temple, they arrested the monks in the temple and locked them in a room in the back temple, and the other rooms and halls in the temple were occupied by the bandits, and some rice and flour food were found in the kitchen of the temple, but unfortunately there was no wine and meat that the bandits needed most, so they hid in the temple for two days, and could only eat pancakes every day to satisfy their hunger.

Seeing that the Wang brothers brought so many wine and meat dishes, the bandits' eyes suddenly glowed green, so that the Wang brothers were taken aback, and if it was night, I am afraid they would have thought that they had encountered wolves. After the banquet began, the bandits devoured the tiger like a wolf one by one, desperately stuffing wine and meat into their mouths, as if they were reincarnated as hungry ghosts.

But because it is tomorrow night, it is okay to eat and drink today, even if you are drunk to death, tomorrow you will sleep for a day during the day, and you will be able to wake up at night, and you will not miss something, but eat and drink happily, and the minions will work hard in tomorrow's battle.

The Wang brothers were just about to entrap Zheng Yihu, so they did not dissuade them, on the contrary, they also accompanied Zheng Yihu and his "Five Tigers and Eight Horses" and other people to drink a few bowls of wine, and frequently persuaded everyone to drink to cheer up, and they also drank happily.
