Chapter 47: The Third Battle for the Chess and Card Room
After the "Hongmen Banquet", Xie Da's actions were known to everyone in the alliance, and Zhao Lin even recorded the entire chat process - he carried a recorder with him.
But what's the use of that? All he knows is that he smokes, drinks, clubs, and flirts with his sisters, not the rumored fact that he helps gangsters bully his classmates, and of course he won't be stupid enough to say this.
Therefore, the issue of Xie Da is not regarded as the main contradiction for the time being, and the external responsibility led by Zhao Lin is enough. After all, the style of life is not good, and it is not under the control of the alliance.
In the Zhongyi Gang, Liu Xingzhou still did not give up the idea of attacking by force.
Guo Si and Zhang Xu have recovered and returned, just making up for the lack of combat power. Liu Xingzhou also secretly continued to contact Sun Zitong and Gao Bo.
Sun Zitong's control over the Long Knife Society has been greatly weakened - Li Jiaxi and Xu Zhong are secretly forming gangs, and soon, the original Long Knife Society gradually formed the "Li faction", "Xu faction" and the "Sun faction" represented by Si Ye, Wu Hua, and Lu He. After Zhao Kenan and Guo Beichen learned about the current situation of the Long Knife Society, they both secretly said to Zheng Jiao: "Zheng Jiao, you are really like a god, and the current Long Knife Society has begun to engage in factions."
Zheng Jiao smiled: "So, what's wrong with us in the coalition army?"
As for the Flying Car Gang, it is not much better, after Gao Bo was hospitalized, the affairs of the entire gang were supported by Lao Qian alone, and after the Battle of East Square, the Flying Car Gang could not send any decent generals, and could only rely on Xie Hui Rongzu and other squad leaders to maintain their only combat strength.
Therefore, the other two emperors really couldn't come up with any decent strength to support Liu Xingzhou, and Liu Xingzhou also knew that blindly relying on the two of them to contain the alliance was not a long-term solution.
It's time for him to use other forces against the Alliance.
Liu Xingzhou once again concentrated a part of his forces and prepared to launch an attack on the chess and card room. This time, he made an exception to use Zhao Haishan and his troops of only twenty-eight people as the main force, and the division was upgraded to the main force, so that Zhao Haishan was grateful, and even expressed his loyalty and said that he was willing to be the vanguard of Liu Xingzhou's attack on the alliance, Guo Si and Zhang Xu each led ten people to fight with Zhao Haishan on the left and right flanks, Zheng Jiao was also invited, Xie Hui Rongzu and fifteen people were the vanguard, and Liu Xingzhou would also personally press the formation.
Before the battle, Liu Xingzhou made a big fanfare, claiming that this time it was the three emperors who fought together again, and they must hit the alliance hard. He even reported the number of people and set the time: Wednesday afternoon after school.
This is a battle with many doubts: if the Three Emperors are really badly damaged, why did Liu Xingzhou still launch this battle with all his might? If he really wanted to conquer the chess and card room, why did he make a big show instead of a sneak attack?
Wang Xi and the others thought that Liu Xingzhou was very likely to attack in advance, so they mobilized heavy troops to guard the chess and card room on Monday and Tuesday, but the enemy did not come. It seems that it is really punctuality.
Zhu Chong was not afraid of them at all, and when he was in full anger, he turned his anger into the passion and pride of battle: "Sixty people are only, and we will annihilate sixty-five of them in the last battle! Sixty of them are looking for death, and it is a matter of minutes to destroy them!"
"Wang Sipai has intelligence, and he has a general introduction to the composition of the enemy's troops. Cai He said, "In this battle, Liu Xingzhou actually used Zhao Haishan as the main force, Guo Si and Zhang Xu as the auxiliary, and Zheng Jiao as the vanguard, which is really incredible." ”
"According to his arrangement, we can ignore the partial division and concentrate the main forces to destroy the main force. Wang Xi said: "Zhu Chong, Zhang Lin and Ye Mulong led fifty people to confront Zheng Jiao head-on, striving for a quick battle to destroy Zheng Jiao's troops, and then concentrate their forces to eliminate Zhao Haishan's troops. Sun Fang and the Great Whirlwind each led fifteen men to contain the enemy forces on the left and right flanks. Suden took ten men as a reserve. "Wang Xi seems to be determined to fight a war of annihilation this time, he is good at fighting one or the best, and he actually sent far more troops than the enemy to fight at once, and his intention is self-evident: to destroy the enemy's main force in the shortest time!
Wang Xi also had another intention in doing this: to prepare more people and be prepared, in case Liu Xingzhou engaged in any conspiracy.
This dubious battle has finally broken out, and the two commanders will once again compete on the battlefield.
On Wednesday afternoon, the cool breeze blew a hint of early summer, and with such a pleasant weather, if you can go out for a walk with Liu Caiwei, there is really nothing better than this. However, Wang Xi can't go, he is the commander of the alliance, and he must sit in this battle to see what intrigues Liu Xingzhou has.
The alliance army was in full array, waiting for the enemy army that might attack at any time, and finally, the vanguard led by Zheng Jiao appeared at the entrance, followed by Zhao Haishan and Liu Xingzhou, and Guo Si and Zhang Xu led the troops on both sides.
The two sides confronted each other in the open space in front of the chess and card room.
Liu Xingzhou picked up a whistle and blew it hard, and suddenly, as if they had received a signal, the Three Emperors troops all roared angrily and rushed like a tide with their weapons.
"Defend!" Zhu Chong gave the order, and the Alliance's "shield soldiers" made their debut, and they began to block the enemy's offensive with riot shields - riot shields are the latest weapons to be included in the list of weapons of the alliance forces, and are mainly equipped with troops guarding strongholds. There are also some who don't have riot shields and replace them with simple shields made of wooden boards or iron plates, Zheng Jiao was dumbfounded, he didn't expect Zhu Chong, who had always advocated striding forward to attack, actually ordered to defend as soon as he started. Soon, the offensive of the vanguard was blocked, and Zhao Haishan saw this and hurriedly sent the main force to reinforce it.
It was also at this time that Sun Fang and the Great Whirlwind's troops attacked at the same time, taking Guo Si and Zhang Xu's troops by surprise from the side, probably to avoid being injured again, or to better command the troops, Guo Si and Zhang Xu did not rush up to engage Sun Fang and the two of them in the Great Whirlwind, but chose to retreat to the rear to command.
The battle situation in the front direction was extremely fierce, the appearance of the shield made the people of the Three Emperors unexpected, Liu Xingzhou had to go into battle in person, he and Zhao Haishan restrained a shield soldier, and injured the other party with a strange attack, Zhao Haishan saw this, grabbed the shield, and Liu Xingzhou entered the alliance troops.
"Look at the move!" Ye Mulong saw Liu Xingzhou killing, and went out to fight in person, the lightning-like fast knife struck again, leaving one brilliant knife shadow after another, Liu Xingzhou's war knife swirled, and the opponent forced the attack, only to see Liu Xingzhou's eyes flashing with killing intent, the rotary knife suddenly stopped, and slashed out horizontally, Ye Mulong returned to defense in time, and blocked the slash of the neck. Knowing that Liu Xingzhou's shots were all killing, Ye Mulong no longer chose to hit hard, turned fierceness into skill, and used one move after another to dial a thousand catties, and it was even more strange to use his strength to fight.
"Respectable opponent, worthy of a fight" Liu Xingzhou finished speaking, the killing intent was even stronger, his facial expression gradually became hideous and terrifying, and the moves in his hands became more and more frenzied. As strong as a lightning fast blade leaf wooden dragon, he couldn't help but scream for a while. Gradually, Ye Mulong even began to be at a disadvantage.
"Old chief!" Suddenly, a whip shadow broke out of the wind, the reappearance of the nine-section whip, a killing knife, Ling Wanqing, who fought again, was unabated, and his fighting spirit was even higher, and finally blocked the destruction attack of the killing knife. However, how could Liu Xingzhou stop because he stopped for a while? I saw Liu Xingzhou concentrate all his strength on his right hand, dance again, and immediately break the nine-section whip entanglement, and then make a move, it was already a more extreme move, Ye Mulong saw this, and hurriedly waved his knife to block the move, helping Ling Wanqing to retreat.
"This madman is going to kill someone, you be careful" Ye Mulong frowned, "Later, the two of us will go together or so, and we must beat him dizzy!"
"Okay!" After Ling Wanqing heard this, he pulled out a hand stab from his waist with his left hand, flicked the nine-section whip with his right hand, and attacked from the right with a whip, intending to entangle Liu Xingzhou's machete and stab Liu Xingzhou at the same time, while Ye Mulong continued to use the fast knife, preparing to disrupt Liu Xingzhou's offensive.
After all, in terms of speed, no one can compare to him!
On the frontal battlefield, it has to be said that the Three Emperors' offensive launched this time was quite a failure. The forward troops suffered heavy losses, only Zheng Jiao was left with a few people who could fight and were still struggling to resist, and the troops on the left and right flanks did not know what was going on, but they were actually scattered, and after the dispersal, he did not reorganize and go back, but fought separately, and fought for his own battles, how could he fight for a long time? Zhao Haishan's main force was also affected, and in less than a few minutes, 14 of the 28 people had already been killed.
Zhao Haishan was even cleaned up by Zhang Lin, Zhang Lin not only used his fists this time, but also picked up the mace and rushed to the front line. Zhao Haishan panicked, just picked up a machete and was about to fight Zhang Lin, but Zhang Lin slammed it on his hand with a mace, and suddenly, Zhao Haishan, who was full of blood red in his hands, wailed, and began to tremble violently, and the machete fell to the ground with a clatter-it was finally upgraded from a partial division to the main force, and in this first battle, he lost all the face he had mixed before!
"Kill him for me!" Zhao Haishan gritted his teeth and shouted hysterically.
And Zhang Lin just brandished his mace, defeating all the enemies who came to him like a god of war, and round after round of attacks were all shattered by his mace. The downed men crashed into their companions, who either screamed in a trembling voice and became cannon fodder, or simply turned around and fled.
Although the troops on the left and right flanks did not fight out, they did not exert their due combat effectiveness
The alliance occupies an overwhelming advantage.
So is this battle so simple? The Three Emperors were ruthlessly cleaned up, the third attack on the chess and card room failed, and the alliance won a great victory again?
No.
Just when Wang Xi, who was in command, thought that he could fight a war of annihilation and completely annihilate the invading enemy, a variable suddenly happened.
Countless people poured in at both the left and right entrances, all dressed in black, most of them with shaved heads, wielding machetes or steel pipes in their hands. These unknown guys caught the attention of Wang Xi and Su Deng, and they looked at each other and immediately realized that something was wrong. Su Deng waved his hand: "Reserves! Stop them!"
However, it was too late.
The men in black rushed into the crowd, slashing at and slashing at people, and in a few moments, both troops were thrown into chaos, and many of them screamed and dropped their weapons and began to flee in all directions. Most of the warriors of the alliance were caught off guard, and they had already fallen in a pool of blood, and the shield soldiers hurriedly volunteered to the rear, temporarily resisting the black-clothed men who were surging in like a wave, but such resistance was limited after all.
The black wave composed of the men in black is like eating people, engulfing those students who are fighting little by little!
Liu Xingzhou, Ye Mulong, and Ling Wanqing hurriedly retreated, turned around and fought with the black-clothed man from an unknown source.
"It's over, who is this TMD?" Ye Mulong quickly struck out, and cooperated with Ling Wanqing Nine-Section Whip to fight back, repelling one enemy after another. Suden also drew his twin knives and rushed into the black crowd and began a fierce battle. The Alliance and the Three Emperors all came to their senses and began to desperately command their troops to fight these unidentified attackers.
The attackers did not seem to be in love with war, and after wounding a certain number of people, they began to fight and retreat, and the leader of them even put down his words: "You little boys, listen to Lao Tzu, Brother Qi Jia is about to go out of the mountain! The great Emperor Gang is going to rebuild the world! Rectify Qinghu Town! You students, you boys, will be used as sacrificial flags!"
Liu Yuan scolded: "Why are you yelling so loudly? Eh, I'm really convinced, like a mentally retarded person, I'm afraid you're not a cult?" - Liu Yuan would not have thought that a fat man named Sun Xiaochuan would say almost the same thing as him a year later and then become popular on the Internet.
The man in black didn't speak, but quickly left the battlefield, and the black wave disappeared without a trace in an instant, leaving only the wailing wounded on the ground, scattered weapons, and one after another miserable blood red.
The two commanders, Wang Xi and Liu Xingzhou, looked at the scene in front of them in disbelief, and the two looked at each other, wanting to speak again.
In the end, Liu Xingzhou only ordered his subordinates to evacuate quickly with the wounded, and Wang Xi also ordered to place the wounded, and did not take advantage of the victory to pursue.
Compared to victory, the comrades-in-arms are the most important.
A war of annihilation was lost like this, and the alliance also damaged a lot of combat power, of course, the Three Emperors were not much better, Zheng Jiao's vanguard was all injured, and he himself was miraculously fine; Guo Si and Zhang Xu's partial division did not have much damage, but three-quarters of Zhao Haishan's main force was injured and lost its combat ability, and the partial division became the main force, and the main force became a remnant army, but the matter of one day really made people feel that the world is impermanent.
Then what the man in black said couldn't help but remind people of the history of Qinghu Town long ago.
The huge gangster Emperor Gang, which spanned the three cities, once regarded Qinghu Town as the heart of this black empire, and finally, under the great attention of the provincial government and the iron fist of the public security organs, this huge gang that endangered one side finally collapsed, and the thunderous war against the black caused a sensation throughout the country and was talked about by the people of the whole country. However, after the disintegration of the Emperor Gang, it was in response to the phrase "the hundred-legged insect dies but does not stiffen", and his remnants continued to develop little by little in various parts of the three cities, and gradually formed a small-scale "Emperor Gang". However, the previous group of iron-blooded officials have withdrawn from officialdom or gone to work in other places, and the current provincial government does not have the thunderous methods of the past.
There are many things that have been passed down in the world by the Emperor Gang, such as the abundance of masters, there is a ranking of the "Top Ten God of War" masters in the rivers and lakes of the three cities, and the Emperor Gang can often occupy half of the country in it; another example is the abundance of weapons, the treasure of the Emperor Gang, the "Gold and Silver Double Dragon Knife", disappeared after the destruction of the Emperor Gang, and many people have been hoping to find these two peerless magic weapons again; there is also property, I heard that the headquarters of the Emperor Gang, the long-abandoned "(making) drug (industry) factory" at the foot of the Qipan Mountain in Qinghu Town There is a treasury in it, but there is no doubt that all the wealth in it must have been handed over to the state in the end. Of course, the most precious thing is his name, and it is not excluded that some guys who admire the Emperor Gang also move out of the name of the Emperor Gang to play, and self-proclaimed "XX Town Emperor Gang" and "XX Township Emperor Gang" really make people laugh off their big teeth.
So, is the Emperor Gang mentioned by the man in black a genuine remnant of the Emperor Gang, or is it a fake who sells dog meat on the head of a sheep?
Seeing that his subordinates were all puzzled and puzzled, Liu Xingzhou told them the story of the Emperor Gang in Qinghu Town and Qi Jia.
