Lin Quanan was forced to be unable to do so, only to know that the short-haired man's money was not so easy to earn, and said: "Your old man's accent is still a little weird, it's better to talk less when you go in." ”

Coming to the front of the village, the gate is open, there are horses in front of the door, there are also a few townsmen standing guard, and there are townsmen watching on the sentry tower. The defense was fairly tight. Lin Quanan was familiar with the locals, said hello a few times, stuffed some small objects, and took Xue Ziliang in.

There are about 200 households in the village, most of them are stone walls and thatched roofs, and some are poor, and they are made of bamboo walls and roofs. However, he did not come for sightseeing, but only to remember the appearance of the road and the whereabouts of it. There were no pedestrians in the village, only some old and young, who had probably gone to work.

Lin Quanan shook the drum all the way, and when the women saw him coming, they all gathered around him to buy some needles and threads. Some people don't have money, and some exchange eggs and powder. After a while, he had a lot of stuff on him. Xue Ziliang followed Lin Quanan for almost a week, and there was only one door in the entire village. The walled wall is only more than three meters high, it is built of earth and stone, it is very solid, there are almost no traces of peeling and erosion, it is as solid as cement, there are several wooden enemy buildings on the wall, you can see that the wall is stacked with stones and rolling wood such defensive equipment, and there seem to be artillery and other things. There are no defensive facilities in the village, and the so-called inner wall is just a relatively tall courtyard wall -- more than 10 households of the Gou family are concentrated in those houses that are connected together, and in order to prevent fire, the whole house is separated from the surrounding houses by a very wide street, and at first glance it is a bit of a village in a village.

But take a closer look, the wall of this house is not simple, although I heard that there are more than a dozen Gou family mansions, but there are only two doors in and out, namely the south front gate and the north back door. Facing the street in front is a tall gatehouse, which is lined with brick eaves and upside-down houses, and there are gun holes on the back wall, which can be fired with guns and shotguns. The thick elm gates were covered with iron leaves, and rows of large-headed cast iron nails were nailed, which were difficult to cut with an axe. The back door is small but sturdy, and the wall is made of stones, about four meters high, and the stones under the base of the wall will not be thin.

However, these obstacles are not worth mentioning to the traversers. Xue Ziliang felt that it was a bit too much for him to come to reconnoiter in person, and it was easy to break Zhuangzi with the firepower of the military group, and the only difficulty was how to open the walled gate, which was wooden and very heavy, and there was a huge top door bar behind. It's better to blow up the gate directly, but the military team doesn't have explosives equipment, maybe burn it with oil?

After leaving Zhuangzi, Xue Ziliang returned to the woods, wrote down all the points he saw in his notebook, and drew a map of Zhuangnei, and the people who stayed in the woods also took some photos of the appearance with a telefocal lens.

Wang Rui said to Xue Ziliang: "Let's release the reconnaissance plane out to take some information." ”

Xue Ziliang originally felt that it was a little redundant, but when he thought about the situation of the inner house, it was not very clear that after breaking through Zhuangzi, it was also a lot of effort to fight the inner house, and it was not okay to be unfamiliar with the road environment, so he agreed. Wang Ruixiang listened, geared up, excited, and went to assemble the big model airplane.

This thing is very large, and it has to be carried by three people when it is disassembled, plus a bunch of miscellaneous accessories, fuel, a set of cameras and a notebook that receives signals, several people quickly installed a large model airplane, but only to find a problem when they installed it. There are no concrete floors here!

This kind of large-sized model airplane, no more than a small remote-controlled aircraft, has to rely on sliding to take off and land, in modern time and space to find a flat place is simply easy to find, even in the most remote rural areas there are always roads or cement paved drying grounds. It's not okay to have a flat playground or grass, but at the moment none of these conditions are available.

It would be okay to say that the scene was outside the woods and a piece of land was leveled on the spot, but they had no tools, and secondly, making such a big movement on the open ground would definitely attract patrols, so they had no choice but to pack up their things and go home. The first aerial reconnaissance operation ended in failure.

"We must develop a rocket booster take-off system!" Wang Ruixiang said hatefully.

"Let's go back, see the opportunity along the way, and catch two people!"

"Tongue grabbing?"

"That's right." Xue Ziliang is already familiar with this Chinese-style black language, "Some things have to be asked to them to find out." ”

"Done!" A group of people are gearing up, except for the depressed Wang Ruixiang.

Xue Ziliang divided the people into two groups and ambushed them in the woods on both sides of the road. This place is not far from Zhuangzi, and there is plenty of time to retreat, which can also avoid accidentally catching irrelevant people. In order to avoid too much disturbance, it was decided that if he needed to use force, he would use a knife and Wang Ruixiang's short crossbow.

The weather in Lingao, regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter, can have more than 30 degrees during the day, stay in the woods and do not breathe the wind, so hot that several people are sweating, although the body is smeared with insect repellent water, all kinds of flying insects and mosquitoes and flies still bite them vigorously, making a few recruits make a lot of trouble. Fortunately, after more than a month of hard training, their willpower has been cultivated, and no one is moving around.

There are sporadic people walking around on the road, but there is nothing worth capturing, after a long time, I saw a small sedan chair with a sliding rod on the road, supported by a green cloth canopy, a man who looks like a man is lying on his back, followed by a dozen or so family followers, and there is a maid-like figure, holding a package in his hand, accompanying him next to the sliding rod.

Ye Mengyan was a little nervous, and hurriedly crawled over and asked Xue Ziliang: "Captain, there's a big guy here!" ”

Xue Ziliang nodded, this is not asked, it can be known that it is a big man in Gou Jiazhuang, maybe it is Gou Da himself. There are four people on your side outside of the guide, and you have a good chance of winning.

He thought about it and saw Lin Quanan. Stir up a peddler - it's not good for this short-haired old man to look at him like that every time. Sure enough, Xue Ziliang called him over again.

The person sitting on this sliding pole is none other than the second child of the Gou family, Gou Xunli, the underworld leader of Lingao County who lives in the city, and he recently got the news that the pirates of Bairentan have driven to the Mayuan Salt Field. This Gou Xunli has read some books, handed over the government in the county, and has been involved in litigation for many years, so he has some insight. He knew that this horse salt farm was a big source of wealth in the county, and his brother Gou Xunyi spent a lot of effort to control the salt field in his hands, and the thief sent a team of people to the salt field, not to mention to grab this piece of fat. A few days ago, I heard a word from the people in the yamen that the thieves had sent someone to see Master Wang, and they were going to take the salt class. Gou Er knew that something was wrong, and hurriedly ordered the sedan chair to go back to the village -- this matter must be dealt with as soon as possible.

He is different from Gou Xunyi, and the modern saying is that his appearance is not so ugly. Everything knows that there is room for three points, so although it is also a stakes role that everyone fears in the county, the reputation is not too bad. In contrast, Gou Xunyi is a strong and domineering character who has to account for three points whether he is reasonable or unreasonable, and he is afraid that he will not do bad things in place and is not cruel enough. Gou Xunli was a little worried about his eldest brother, this bearded pirate was not an ordinary little bandit, in case of a conflict between the two sides, the Gou family would definitely suffer a big loss.

Gou Xunli planned to persuade Gou Xunyi to send someone to talk to the thief as soon as possible, sell part of the interests of the salt farm, and make money with each other. He guessed that the thieves had been entrenched here for a long time in Lingao. They are powerful, and if they can climb up, it may not be a good thing to suffer a small loss in front of them. Just as he was turning this thought, thinking about how to convince his grumpy eldest brother, suddenly the slider stopped, he opened his eyes, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

The head of the family came back and forth: "There is a vendor on the road, saying that he wants to cry out for injustice. ”

Gou Xunli scolded: "Bastard." He thought that it was probably the housekeeper or the villager who robbed the hawkers, and this group of bandits knew that they were lawless, and they didn't understand the reason why rabbits don't eat the grass next to the nest. He waved his hand in annoyance: "Get him away." ”

As he was talking, suddenly the bowstring sounded on the side of the road, and a crossbow arrow had been submerged in the neck of the sedan chair man, and his eyes rolled, and even the person with the sedan chair fell to the ground, and the group suddenly became a mess.

With a whistle, four people rushed out of the roadside, all brandishing bright short knives in their hands, and the guard's family did not have time to draw their knives, so they were wiped on their necks and fell to the ground, and blood gushed out of their necks and immediately took the account. This change was so fast that people couldn't react, and several family members were so panicked that they forgot to draw their knives, and they turned up their scabbards and smashed them on people.

Ye Mengyan didn't have time to reminisce about the taste of killing for the first time, and saw a family member rushing towards him with a hideous face brandishing a sheathed knife. I couldn't help but take a few steps backwards, tripped over the corpse on the ground, and sat down on the ground - a wave of fear in my heart, mother, I'm going to die! The heart was confused, but the knife in his hand subconsciously stabbed out, the sharp knife stabbed into the other party's stomach like cutting tofu, and easily lost the handle, Ye Mengyan saw that the eyes of the person in front of him were wide, his face was distorted and fell, and there were intestine-like things flowing out of his body, and suddenly his heart turned over for a while, and he squirted out all the compressed dry food he ate at noon, shooting far and accurately, and he was so panicked that he lay on the face of the maid under the sedan chair, was so frightened by the sight that she couldn't move, the little girl got this sour and smelly "bukkake", where could she tell the ugly one, and she fainted on the spot.

Although there were many of them, they were defenseless, and four of them died in one round of assault, and arrows continued to shoot from the grass, and they scattered and fled in all directions. Six corpses and two wounded were left on the ground, and three prisoners were captured alive, including a maid. It's a pity that the old man who sat on the sliding pole fled the moment the sedan chair fell, and his movements were as fast as a rabbit.

Xue Ziliang ordered not to leave the wounded and women, to tie up the prisoners and leave quickly. Ye Mengyan saw that the girl had beautiful eyebrows, so she had to take it away. Xue Ziliang was tired for a while, so he had to call a captive to carry the girl on his back, and the group quickly retreated. These people are not professional soldiers, after the killing, they can't help but panic, they rush the prisoners all the way, and they don't even feel tired, Xue Ziliang saw that the faces of the team members became very bad, and hurriedly used the radio to contact Bairencheng and asked them to send a car to answer. By the time they returned to the camp, it was too late to complete the handover and write the report, and several people had already vomited.
