Chapter 62 Attacking the Village (II)

The bloodstained courtyard gradually revealed its true face in the blue light of dawn. Facing each other were two two-story houses, about five or six rooms wide, flanked by wings. Some men in black can be faintly seen on the roofs of various houses, and most of the tiles and bricks are empty, presumably used in the defense last night.

The second battalion's attack had been halted by this last night, leaving them behind the battalions, and at this time the whole was eager to try.

When Gu Haotian arrived, Sun Anzheng organized personnel to prepare to attack from outside the right wall, Gu Haotian saw that the outer wall of the wing room was about three meters high, it may be a little difficult to attack at night, but it should be easier during the day, he didn't open his mouth, and looked at the effect of the attack.

The second battalion organized more than 40 people to attach four ladders to attack upwards, but as soon as the leading personnel showed their heads, the tiles and bricks on the front and the roofs on both sides were about to rain down, and immediately several smashed heads broke blood, and a team member easily climbed to the roof, but saw a scar-faced man standing up in front of him holding a spear and stabbing fiercely, and he also reacted quickly, and rolled down the house when he turned sideways and let go down the slope, otherwise he would be killed or injured.

"Scarface!" At this time, Shi Qian stood down and saw clearly, and blurted out an exclamation.

And Gu Haotian also saw that something was wrong, so even if he was captured, the casualties would be too great to outweigh the losses, so he ordered to stop the attack.

"Brother Shi Qian, what did you just call it?" Bian Xiang stood on the edge of Shi Qian, listening to his exclamation just now, he was very curious.

"The scar-faced man who stood up just now is the deputy leader of the Evil Tiger Gang, the one who led the assassination of the petty officials, and I saw it clearly in the City God Temple that day." Time to move back to the road.

"What, the handful of birds are inside, thank heaven and earth, this guy has finally fallen into the hands of grandpa today." After that, Bian Xiang picked up the long axe and was about to pass.

Gu Haotian saw that Bian Xiang was suddenly killed, and hurriedly called him to stop, and Shi Qian leaned over at this time and said the reason. He thought that since the deputy gang leader of the Evil Tiger Class was in this courtyard, Da Lang was probably also in it, so he had a plan and went to scold Bian Xiang.

"Wu Dalang, you eggless bird, you have the ability to be this shrunken head of the king, come out quickly Grandpa and fight to the death, so that you can leave a whole corpse." Bian Xiangyuan was full of anger and scolded as soon as he opened his mouth.

At this time, I saw a young man standing up in the corridor on the second floor, the eldest man of the Wu family, he knew that he had been exposed, and he also knew that there was no way to escape, Gu Haotian would never let him go, so he simply stood up.

"Little child of the Gu family, my Wu family unfortunately fell into your hands today, grandpa and I have no intention of living alone, if you have the ability, you will attack it and try the methods of the Evil Tiger Gang." He wanted to pull some people on his back when he was dying, and deliberately lured Gu Haotian to attack.

Now that Wu Dalang's whereabouts were clear, Gu Haotian put down a stone in his heart, ignored him anymore, and only thought about how to attack. Of course, fire attack is the easiest way, two torches thrown in, it will definitely work, but at this time the sky is already bright, if the smoke attracts the attention of outsiders, it will cause trouble, he looked at the people around him, and thought that it would be better to attack again.

When Bian Xiang heard that the petty officials agreed to attack again, he was overjoyed, and when he turned around, he shouted: "Follow me in the guard battalion, and the opportunity to avenge the petty officials has come." More than a dozen people rushed forward with a roar.

But Bian Xiang didn't take a few steps forward, but saw Sun An stop in front with a gloomy face.

"The affairs of the second battalion, when do you want others to do it, and when the people in the second battalion are dead, Brother Bian Xiang, you will go up again."

In the first battle last night, all battalions completed their tasks very well, and I heard that the cavalry battalion and Ruan Xiaoqi did not retreat a step after they fought at the front gate, but his second battalion left things to do it on the second day, dragging the whole army back.

"The second battalion, those who have eggs stand up and go with grandpa to cut down those grandchildren." Sun An lifted the two iron swords and shouted loudly when he turned around.

All the people in the second battalion saw it in their eyes, and their blood boiled in an instant, and more than 100 people stood up together.

Sun An selected more than 20 people and went forward, leaving Bian Xiang and the others aside, unable to advance or retreat. However, at this moment, I saw Li Kui rushing over with a double axe, and he pushed Sun An aside without saying anything.

"Battalion commander, I'm still alive, so why is it your turn to take the lead."

When Sun An chose someone just now, he deliberately left him behind, because he was afraid that if he had an accident, someone would take over the second battalion, but Li Kui was willing to let him go to danger first.

A good Li Kui, I saw him with an axe in his waist, an axe in his right hand, a ladder in his left hand, and climbed up in the cracks of the flying bricks, and he was only three or five steps away from him before he climbed to the top of the wall. At this time, it was the scar-faced man who took advantage of his unstable foothold to stab a spear, only to see Li Kui throw the axe in his right hand head-on, the man hurriedly used the spear to block, at this time, he pulled out another axe from his waist, stepped forward to block the waist and split, the man could not react, hurriedly retreated, but was slipped by the tiles under his feet, and a stumbling sideways fell down, Li Kui could let go of such an opportunity, and the step was another axe, and suddenly a blood mist sprayed out from the waist of the scar-faced man, and it was already divided into two sections when he fell.

The strong enemy is gone, and there is no opponent left, and after a while, the roof will sweep out a vacant space, and the follow-up team members will come up one after another, so far the overall situation has been decided. After half a pillar of incense, Gu Haotian entered from the gate that had been cleared, only to see the corpses all over the courtyard, there were about forty corpses without any living mouths, it seemed that they were all members of the Evil Tiger Gang, and Wu Dalang knew that he was not alive, and he also killed himself in the room on the second floor.

It turned out that after Wu Dalang escaped from the mansion, he sneaked to the courtyard where the evil tiger gang lived, and wanted to organize a breakout, but he was surrounded by the second battalion, and after breaking through several times to no avail, he had to resist stubbornly, and finally ended up like this.

Wu Dalang's death marked the end of the operation in Crouching Tiger Village. But more arduous tasks are still to come, the transfer of materials from the warehouse, the treatment of the wounded, the handling of prisoners, the blockade of the periphery, the contact with Master Wen, and the Wu family's treasury has not yet been found, etc., the pile incident needs to be handled by Wu Haotian himself. Although he didn't sleep all night, he didn't feel much sleep, so he ordered Bian Xiang to summon all the leaders except the outer defenders to the Wu family's mansion for a meeting.

"The first battalion immediately returned to the mountain with the fleet to garrison, and informed Xiao Rang, Du Qian, and Tao Zongwang that they organized all the manpower to carry materials on the mountain, and the second battalion took over the defense of Zhuangnei; Ma Xun took half of the guard battalion to Gujiazhuang, reported the situation here to Master Wen, and listened to his dispatch; Ma Qiang, Duan Jingzhu, and Ruan Xiaoer are responsible for all matters related to the handling of materials; In addition, the battalion sent dozens of migrant workers to dig a few large pits in the back mountain and bury all the bodies of last night; Everything is up and running in no time. Gu Haotian made a brief arrangement, and everyone immediately went their separate ways.

Gu Haotian wanted to interrogate the Wu family's father and son, and asked about the location of the vault, but he didn't go far, but he suddenly thought of something again, so he turned around and ordered Shi Qian.

"Brother Shi Qian looked for the Wu family's ice cellar and put the corpses of Wu Dalang and the Evil Tiger Gang into it, otherwise it will be difficult to use in the future." It's already hot, and he has to make a fuss with these corpses before those corpses go bad.

Song Wan, the father and son of the Wu family, has been guarding it personally, Gu Haotian also ignored the Wu county lieutenant, and only brought Erlang up, the guy thought he was going to kill him, and begged for mercy with tears on his face.

"Can you tell me where the vault of Crouching Tiger Village is located, or may it spare your life?" Gu Haotian asked him coldly.

When Erlang heard that it was the treasury, he hesitated for a while, it was the wealth accumulated by the Wu family for several generations, how could he be willing to say it. That Bian Xiang didn't speak in the past, picked up the knife and cut off his little finger, and Erlang suddenly screamed like a pig.

"Do you want to say it?" Bian Xiang raised the knife again.

"Say—speak, speak." Wu Erlang nodded again and again.

Finally, he found a hole in the outer study of Wu County Lieutenant on the first floor of the third main building, and the hole led to the bottom of a rockery on the side, and he walked several doors in the middle to enter a basement, but the things inside made Gu Hao dizzy. There are five boxes of gold, twenty-four boxes of silver, two boxes of various jewelry and jade, two boxes of precious calligraphy and paintings, and ten silver balls weighing four or five hundred catties, and countless copper coins in the rest. He ordered Bian Xiang to send someone to guard it strictly, and then went to the back of the treasury to see, when he heard the news of Shi Qian, he was most interested in the armor inside, and now it is finally his own, and he is looking forward to it.

In front of the storehouse, seven or eight hundred migrant workers were already carrying supplies under the command of the training battalion and the navy.

"The little official is really rich, but now it's cheaper for us, you see that the ten big warehouses in the back are all grain, and there are two warehouses in the front row, not to mention 100,000 stones." Duan Jingzhu greeted him and introduced.

"What about the rest?" Gu Haotian had just come out of the vault, and he seemed to be a little numb to money and food.

"It's all here, little officials, and come and see."

Duan Jingzhu led the way in front of him, and Gu Haotian and others followed behind.

"This library is a medicinal herb, and the pioneer doctor Gao has taken it; This warehouse is an iron ingot, and it is underestimated to be tens of thousands of catties; This library is cloth, and I can't count the full of it; This warehouse is armor, with more than forty pieces of iron armor and forty or five hundred pieces of leather armor; The last warehouse is a weapon, which contains more than 500 steel knives, more than 1,000 spear tips, more than 500 leather shields, and ...... here. ”

Duan Jingzhu said as he opened a few boxes inside, but they were brand new longbows and arrowheads.

Gu Haotian took a long breath of cold air, thinking that fortunately, there was a calculation or not, otherwise with these bows and arrows alone, the seven or eight hundred people in Liangshan would be afraid that they would have to be confessed here. But when I thought that Lieutenant Wu had managed the Yuncheng army for more than 20 years and hid all the ordnance in his own warehouse, but now he had made a wedding dress for him, my heart was very happy. He also ordered Duan Jingzhu to guard it closely, and he would transport it back to the mountain tonight, and ordered Ruan Xiaoer to send capable people to escort it, so that there must be no accidents.

After many days of planning and a bloody battle, the dispute between Gujiazhuang and Crouching Tiger Village finally ended with the destruction of the Wu family.
