The crow pouted: "Shotguns are not useful, that is, they make a noise to scare and scare people, as long as they are dispersed, unless the blind cat touches the dead mouse, it is useless, I advise you to let your subordinates practice swords and guns." ”

Li Qingyuan explained with a smile: "In fact, as long as the bird gun is concentrated on a certain scale, it is still very useful, but if it is used alone, it may not be as useful as the knife and gun." ”

Wu Sanniang also followed: "Yes, you don't know that we have seen the Qing Demon's Divine Machine Battalion, which has hundreds of muskets in the concentration, which is very powerful, so you must not underestimate the pairs of muskets." ”

Because of Li Qingyuan's special explanation, now they no longer mention that they are the Qingshui Sect, and they are called bandits to the outside world, and like Wu Sanniang, they call themselves the Tianli Society, and recruit the people to use Freemasonry, basically leaving off the relationship with the Qingshui Sect, so as not to stimulate the nerves of the Qing army.

So the crows don't know where they came from, but I heard that they have seen the Shenji Camp and think they must have their own stories, but isn't it normal to have stories?

When a few people returned to the mountain, Wu Sanniang and the crow deliberately brought the daughter of the Liu blacksmith's family over, Li Qingyuan looked at the girl who was a little shy and asked: "Miss Liu, your father and your brother are both working on my side, will I send you to reunite with them." ”

The girl bit her lip and shook her head, Li Qingyuan asked curiously, "What?" Don't you want to? ”

The girl clenched her fists and said firmly: "As long as you know that they are doing well, as for the reunion, forget it, I am doing well now, at least I can control my own destiny with the knife and follow the big boss." ”

Li Qingyuan looked at her in surprise, it seems that this girl is not as quiet and sensible as Li Qingyuan imagined, nor is she silent as Liu Blacksmith thought.

But after all, this is someone else's family matter, and it is not good for me to intervene, Li Qingyuan nodded: "Since you like your current life, then let it be, but you have to go back to see your father more often when you have time, after all, your father is also forced to ...... helplessly." ”

"Thank you, General Li......" The girl thanked her and left, Li Qingyuan shook his head and put these things down for the time being, and asked, "How are things going?" ”

Wu Sanniang looked at the crow, and the crow took out a map from his arms and said: "You see, this official square is in Yangfan Town, in addition to a team of fifty green battalion soldiers guarding the official square in the town, there are also two hundred township soldiers, and it is only more than thirty miles away from Xingzhou City, if something happens, the Qing army in Xingzhou will definitely be able to arrive within two quarters of an hour." ”

Li Qingyuan also frowned, this is indeed more troublesome, and after thinking about it, he looked at Wu Sanniang: "What can you do?" ”

Wu Sanniang shook her head and said: "There are more than 1,000 people in these blacksmiths and their families, and there are old and young, and they must go through the city gate to get out, and the official workshop of this Yangfan Town is next to the township barracks, and if there is a little movement, I am afraid that they will fall in." ”

That is no way, Li Qingyuan looked at the map again: "How thick is the wall of this Yangfan Town?" ”

"It's a brick wall a foot thick, more than eight feet high." Raven said quickly.

This Li Qingyuan is strange, it's very ordinary to see the wall, isn't it enough to get an explosives bag? Why do you have to go through the city gates? Li Qingyuan asked, "Why don't you use explosives packs for this?" And why do you have to go through the city gates? ”

Wu Sanniang said helplessly: "The explosives bag is too loud, I'm afraid it will alarm Xingzhou City, and when the time comes, it won't go far to help the old and the young, and there are two or three hundred township soldiers plus Qing soldiers, if they are trapped in the city, not only can they not be saved, but they will be harmed......"

This is indeed the truth, if you want to win this battle, it is equivalent to directly attacking the town, then such a group of bandits Xingzhou will definitely attach great importance to it, so many people want to escape into the mountains I am afraid that it is impossible for an hour or two.

Even if Xingzhou reacts slowly, but it should be sent in an hour or two, and there will be reinforcements to defeat Xingzhou at that time, so the bandits who can defeat the official army will definitely be focused on at that time.

If Li Qingyuan himself would definitely not make such a plan, but now the matter not only involves three hundred blacksmiths, but also involves the reputation of Wu Sanniang and the Tianli Society, if Li Qingyuan is cowardly like this, what will the crow think of himself? What do you think of your own rebel army?

Li Qingyuan asked again: "Then where is this official square in the town?" ”

"Here! In the northeast corner, a quarter of the town is Guanfang. "The crow, as a local bandit, acts as a narrator.

Li Qingyuan's eyes lit up, this official square was actually leaning against the city wall, but thinking about it, how big a town can be, how can such a large official square not lean against the wall, since it is against the wall, it is easy to do.

Li Qingyuan calculated for a moment and asked, "If you want to make a hole in the city wall enough for one person to pass through, how long will it take?" Is there anyone who can do it? ”

The crow's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said, "I have a brother, a thousand stones, he can do it, you wait, I'll go and call you." ”

After speaking, the crow turned around and went out: "Ah Qing, Ah Qing, go and call Mazi." ”

After a while, a middle-aged man with a pockmarked face came in, Li Qingyuan saw that he really lived up to his nickname, there was really nothing flat, and the crow saw him coming and immediately asked: "Mazi, how long do you think it will take to dig out a small hole in the wall of this Yangfan Town?" ”

Mazi thought for a while and said, "This is just the first brick, which is more laborious, and it is estimated that it will take a quarter of an hour or two. ”

Li Qingyuan nodded, in fact, the city wall is just a wall, with a crowbar, with a sledgehammer, this kind of city wall more than a foot thick, not to mention a hole, even if it is knocked down, it is not impossible, and it is not poured with cement.

Li Qingyuan said directly: "Then we will contact these blacksmiths in advance, and then quietly make holes in the city wall, and everyone will run away from the holes when the holes are ready, so that there is no need to worry that Xingzhou will find out."

And if the soldiers of Yangfan Town chase it out, I will contain it here, and you continue to hide in the mountains, so that we have a great chance, and when the people in Yangfan Town feel that there is a problem and go to Xingzhou to report, it is estimated that everyone will quickly enter the mountain. ”

Li Qingyuan told him about his plan, and the crow listened and asked, "Everything else is easy to say, but there are two or three hundred chasing soldiers, can you stop these fifty people?" Why don't I block these people with Sister Sanniang, and you take everyone back to the mountain, right? ”

Wu Sanniang grabbed the crow and said happily: "Don't worry, Qingyuan is traveling!"

The crow looked at the two of them and shook his head speechlessly: "I really don't know where your confidence comes from, but since this is the case, I don't have any opinion, and tomorrow I will send someone to contact the blacksmith ...... inside." ”
