Chapter 30: The First Strike
"Monks don't sit in meditation, what are they doing in the middle of the night?"
The time, place, and way of this monk are very strange, the monk is a real monk, but it is not certain that he is not a thief monk. Therefore, the guns in the hands of Zhao Lie and Shi Yang were not put down.
Jue Yuan Heshi, his face was sad: "The ancient temple has become fishy, the Buddhist hall has become a Shura field, and the monks no longer have a convenient door to enter and exit." β
Shi Yang glanced at the deep hole of the black fish: "I think this 'door' is quite convenient. β
Jueyuan said: "This is a cave discovered by the presiding officer at the beginning of the construction of the temple, which is connected to a well in the temple......"
"Wells?"
"Yes, the overflow of the well and the cave was a scene of Yongji Temple. Unfortunately, before Yijiazi, there was a great drought in the local area, and this well had long since dried up and became a dry well. β
Zhao Lie nodded, this is about the same, if it is really connected to the well, it will be hanging.
"This scene of Yongji Temple is only known to the monks or nearby villagers, and the thieves do not know, so the little monks can enter and exit from this to forage for food......"
"Foraging?"
Jueyuan said calmly: "The little monk has been trapped by thieves for more than ten days. β
From Jueyuan's narration, Zhao Lie knew what had happened to this ancient temple ten days ago.
Ten days ago, a group of thieves suddenly broke into Yongji Temple, forcibly stayed overnight, and successively transported a large number of cages. In the process of transportation, a cage fell to the ground, revealing the things inside, which was witnessed by the monks and caused the thieves to kill. Pity the more than 20 monks in the whole temple, and they were almost killed. Jueyuan relied on his neat skills and survived and was trapped in the temple.
"Trapped in the temple?" Zhao Lie keenly sensed that there was a flaw in these words, "You have this passage, you can leave at any time, why don't you go?" β
Jueyuan Heshi bowed his head: "The little monk has another important task and can't leave alone." β
The heavy duty of a monk? It can't be the preservation of the scriptures or something, right? Anyway, it's none of his business, Zhao Lie only focuses on one key point: "You said that the thief's cage fell to the ground, revealing the things inside, so that it caused the thief to kill - what is it?" β
At the mention of this, Jueyuan unconsciously clenched his fists, a trace of hatred flashed in his eyes, and then he sang a Buddha horn and said "sin". After calming down his mood, Jueyuan said indifferently: "It's nothing more than yellow and white ears." β
"Yellow and white?" Shi Yang couldn't understand this sentence, "What's the matter?" β
Zhao Lie understood, thinking that this group of thieves was the Chaoyang thief, and blurted out: "Chen Yi's treasure!" β
Shi Yang was stunned for a while, and slapped his thigh: "Grandma is a bear!" It turns out to be hidden here! β
The news of the black crow is correct, Chen Yi is indeed here to take the treasure and bribe. In order to lure the righteous army into the army, he was sure that he was in Chenjiachong, and deliberately spread the news. However, the rumors are released, with Chen Yi's cunning nature, how can it be impossible to put the treasure in a dangerous place that can become a battlefield at any time - even if the righteous army can't capture Chen Jiachong, who dares to guarantee that the "friendly army" (Liu Zili's new annex army) will not see the intention of making money? Therefore, the safest way is to take out Chen Jiachong's treasure and transfer it to another safe place. It was not until the end of the war that Liu Zili led his army to leave before he brought the treasure back.
The location of the treasure must not be too far from Chenjiachong, but also large enough, and there needs to be a convenient mountain road for mules and horses to transport. Therefore, although there are countless caves in Lotus Mountain that can hide treasures, in the end, only this Yongji Temple can enter the eyes of Chen Yi and Chen Fu brothers.
The thief may not want to kill people at first, but as soon as the wealth is revealed, even ordinary people will have murderous intentions, let alone thieves. The monks of Yongji Temple really sat in the temple behind closed doors, and the disaster came from the thief's den and died unjustly.
Jueyuan looked at the two of them lightly: "Are the two of you also here for this yellow and white thing?" β
Zhao Lie didn't answer and asked: "How many thieves are there in the temple?" β
"Thirteen."
"Two more ...... just now"
"With the addition of the two just now, there are thirteen in total. The little monk counts several times a day, and he can't be wrong. β
"Where are the thieves in the temple?"
"There is a guard at the temple gate, there are two guards outside the gate of the Heavenly King Palace, and the other ten people are resting in the hall." Jueyuan was obviously familiar with the situation of this group of thieves who destroyed the temple, and the answer was fluent, obviously he also wanted to do something.
Zhao Lie frowned, so concentrated, no wonder with Jueyuan's strong force, he couldn't break it individually. So he asked, "What equipment do the thieves have?" β
"Knives, spears, forks, bows and arrows."
"What weapons do you have?"
"Me?" Jueyuan smiled bitterly, "There is only one wooden stick." β
It's no wonder that a stick against thirteen fierce and bloodthirsty thieves with all weapons, even with Jueyuan's skills, does not dare to make a mistake, and it is not surprising that they are trapped here.
Zhao Lie shook his pistol: "Okay, now I can tell you why we are here - kill thieves!" β
Now it's Jueyuan's turn to frown: "Kill the thief, just you?" β
"Of course not." Zhao Lie shook his head at Shi Yang, "Call them all." By the way, the fourth guard asked him to guard the mule. β
A moment later, when Ding Xiaoyi, Ding Xiaoyi, Ma Nanchun, and Wang Ping'an appeared in the cave with Shi Yang, Jueyuan's eyes widened, what kind of people are these: women, children, and blind people...... Only one tall scholar is decent. And what about their weapons? Bows and arrows, crossbows, spears and halberds, and bone and iron maces...... None of them, is it possible to rely on these long and short iron pipes in your hands and daggers and short axes on your waist?
Zhao Lie didn't have time to appease Jueyuan's disappointment, he didn't wait, but climbed out of the dry well with Jueyuan, observed the situation of the Heavenly King Palace, and was using sharp stones to draw a battle diagram on the stone ground at this moment.
"The Tianwang Hall has the main entrance, the back hall, the left and right corridors, a total of four exits. Ma Zhongping, Shi Yang, Ding Xiaoyi, and Wang Ping'an each blocked an exit. Here, here, there are two windows on the left and right compartment walls. Ding Xiaoyi can control the front and left and right exits from the wall from here, and once he finds that a thief has escaped, he will snipe with a shotgun, and if necessary, use a revolver to shoot. Zhao Lie pointed a sharp stone under a window on the right side wall, "I will attack from here first." When I threw a thunderbolt into the hall, Shi Yang killed the two gatekeepers with a double-barreled shotgun, and the others poured all the bullets in the chamber into the temple. β
"Okay!" Ding Xiaoqi excitedly stomped his feet with a gun, if he was the only one present, he would definitely go around in circles.
Ding Xiaoyi and Shi Yang just nodded solemnly, without half a word of nonsense.
Zhao Lie gestured to Ding Xiaoqi to be calm and not impatient, and then said: "Ma Zhongping, Ding Xiaoyi, Wang Ping'an, the three of you are standing in the back hall and at the entrance of the left and right corridors respectively, just forming a three-point cross fire in the shape of a pin. You don't have to think about anything, just see that there is a moving gun; Don't worry about the enemy attacking when you change magazines, I'll sweep you up and refire at any time. β
Jueyuan didn't understand what Zhao Lie was saying at all, if it weren't for his serious face and what he said, his companion would also listen to it seriously and nodded frequently...... I almost thought that these people were talking nonsense. Depressed, he inexplicably said: "What is the little monk doing?" β
Zhao Lie turned his head to look at him: "Can a monk keep the precepts?" β
Jue Yuan Heshi pronounced a Buddha name: "There is a Bodhi line on the Shura field, and there is also a lion's roar in the Buddhist gate." If you don't use thunderbolts, how can you show the bodhisattva's heart? β
Zhao Lie laughed, and his voice buzzed in the cave: "Okay! A good 'how can you show the heart of a bodhisattva without thunderbolts' - the thief who guards the mountain gate will be handed over to you. β
Zhao Lie came to rescue Wen Tianxiang, and it was not his goal to fight pirates, but the impact of that chaotic night on him was indeed not small, and he really took a sulk. It's okay if you haven't touched a thief, but since you have encountered it, and you can eat it, why don't you eat it?
Moreover, even if there is no chance to kill Chen Yi this time, but taking away his accumulated treasures and making his people and wealth empty, it is estimated that he can vomit blood from this giant man, and he can also calculate a bad breath, and charge a little interest in advance for the heroes who died on the bloody night.
The most important point is: military training, actual combat training.
First throw the thunder cannon (that is, the detonator * tube, because the thunder * tube will be shielded, and the middle hit * will affect the reading, so the thunder cannon will be used instead) to deter thieves, and then release the guns together according to the target they locked, similar to the grenade and rifle tactics in the early days of our army.
Zhao Lie brought a total of twenty thunder cannons this time, if an ancient brain was thrown out...... No, just throwing half of it would be enough to bury the gang of thieves, but he wasn't going to do that.
This is an excellent opportunity for "training". His tactical team not only had to train, but also had to exercise, and it had to be tempered in actual combat. In South China, where there is a lot of wolf smoke, there are many opportunities to exercise, but the difficult thing is to choose the target of the first battle.
The first battle will be won, and strive for zero casualties.
Only by winning the first battle can he have confidence in his tactical style of play, and at the same time his tactical team will have confidence; Zero casualties are a mustβthere are only six of them, and they can't afford to be hurt.
Therefore, the choice of the target of the first battle must be cautious. It seems that it is not suitable to raid Chen Jiachong on the night of the ninth lunar month.
In the battle of assaulting Yongji Temple, the enemy was not more or less, and he was unprepared, and he attacked it suddenly, and the chance of victory was very great. Where can I find such a great opportunity? He had to get his team members to shoot and kill the enemy according to the predetermined battle plan. If you throw it with a thunder cannon, it's safe, and the target is simply killed, but what about the experience points? Wood has!
The first blow since the establishment of the tactical group must be played well!
With Zhao Lie's order, Jueyuan led the way in front, and the members of the tactical team followed behind one after another, walking at the end of the Ding family sisters and brothers. Then came this conversation in the darkness:
"Xiaoyi, keep up, where are you going?"
"IβI'm going to pee ...... first"
