"Who's that, give up the horse to Mr. Zhou," Zhang Mingjiu scolded loudly, holding the whip and saying to the bandits, "You remember, Mr. Zhou will be our military advisor in the future, and we should respect him, do you hear?" ”

"I heard you!" The bandits replied. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Zhang Mingjiu said sharply again: "Don't kowtow to the military advisor yet!" ”

"Hello Master Strategist."

"Meet the Strategist."

"I've kowtowed to the military advisor."

“……”

Nearly 200 bandits, hulala knelt down, shouting gibberish words in their mouths.

Zhang Mingjiu laughed and said to Zhou Hexuan: "Military advisor, in the future, you will follow me and knock down the counties around Jinan one by one." Don't look down on me as a bandit, I have great ambitions. When I have the capital, I can negotiate with the Japanese in Jinan City, as long as I get the support of the Japanese, I can expand the territory of the military encirclement, and lay down the whole Shandong in the future! Of course, it is indispensable for the military advisor to come up with ideas, talk about brains, or you scholars. ”

In order to gain the trust of the other party, Zhou Hexuan took the opportunity to say: "After occupying the territory, you can also take refuge in the Northern Expeditionary Army." ”

"The military advisor said well, it's not worth being the marshal of Beiyang now, it's better to be a warlord of the national government." Zhang Mingjiu said.

Zhang Mingjiu had studied for a few days, otherwise he would not be qualified to be Zhang Zongchang's orderly. A few days ago, the Zhilu coalition army was defeated, and he was separated from the team and hid in the mountains and did not dare to come out.

Hearing that the Japanese occupied Jinan, the Northern Expeditionary Army made a detour, and the counties around Jinan became a three-way zone. Zhang Mingjiu felt that the opportunity had come, so he gathered more than 20 defeated soldiers to take advantage of the chaos to loot, coerced the victims as bandits all the way, and even occupied Qidong County.

Zhang Mingjiu has witnessed the rise of Zhang Zongchang with his own eyes, regards Zhang Zongchang as a lifelong idol, and wants to replicate this successful path.

Historically, Zhang Mingjiu was able to capture Zhangqiu County in July, and was later absorbed by Sun Dianying, who surrendered to the Northern Expeditionary Army, and served as a brigade commander. In the end, when he was fighting and grabbing land, he died at the hands of Liu Zhennian, the king of Jiaodong.

From a service soldier, he took advantage of the chaos to become the brigade commander of the National Revolutionary Army, and this guy can be regarded as a talent.

The bandits continued to set off for Caozhuang, and all the way Zhou Zhou He Xuan was patting on the back, giving Zhang Mingjiu bad ideas from time to time, which made this villain's ambitious guy happy.

Sun Yonghao asked in a low voice: "Brother, Mr. won't really be a bandit, right?" ”

"Don't talk, act when you have the opportunity." Sun Yongzhen scolded.

Fortunately, Zhang Mingjiu valued Zhou Hexuan very much, and he didn't take the scholar seriously, so he didn't search everyone's body, but only checked the belongings on the carriage slightly.

Wanrong grabbed Meng Xiaodong's sleeve tightly: "Sister Xiaodong, what should I do?" ”

"It's okay, it's okay, Brother Zhou will help us out." Meng Xiaodong patted Wanrong's hand and comforted, in fact, she didn't know the bottom of her heart.

Liao Yaquan pretended to be scared, but in fact, he was extremely calm in his heart, and he was very curious about how Zhou Hexuan would get out of trouble.

After about half an hour, the bandits came to the outside of Caozhuang Village.

This is Zhang Mingjiu's consistent practice, breaking through the villages, robbing people and things, taking the opportunity to expand his own strength, and waiting for all the villages to be robbed, and then going to capture the county seat in one fell swoop.

Nowadays, there are no garrisons in several counties around Jinan, and they can be attacked with a dozen guns.

However, the Cao Zhuang in front of him seems to be a little difficult to do.

The whole village was built with improvised defenses, a fence of brick, mud, wood, and wicker, which was more than a man high. Behind the wall stood many villagers, most of them carrying red tassel guns, others with sticks, poles, and even hoes.

Red Gun Club!

Zhang Mingjiu rode a horse, pulled out a saber that he got out of nowhere, and rushed outside the wall and shouted: "Put down the resistance and pay the money, otherwise Lao Tzu will wash Caozhuang in blood!" ”

"Bang!"

He was answered by a gunshot.

Zhang Mingjiu was startled, almost fell off the horse, and hurriedly reined in the horse and turned around, shouting as he fled: "Beat Lao Tzu!" ”

The main force of these bandits was more than 20 defeated soldiers of the Zhilu coalition army, and they were all armed with regular rifles. The village guards, on the other hand, only have a few old sleeves, not to mention the quasi-head, and often mute fire.

Fortunately, the routs were more cowardly, and they did not charge with their guns, allowing their ordinary bandits to take the lead.

These bandits were victims of the disaster a month ago, and their bodies were weak, carrying various cold weapons such as wooden sticks, iron rods, kitchen knives, and red tassel guns, and they screamed and charged forward.

There is even a benevolent brother who holds the Qinglong Glaive Knife, probably looking for a weapon borrowed from the Guandi Temple, wielding it majesticly, but he fell halfway through and ate, and was accidentally stepped on several times by his accomplices.

The routs followed behind, pumping their guns and firing their guns. Although the guns are good guns, their marksmanship is too bad, and all kinds of "pointing to the east and hitting the west" scare the birds in the sky.

The two sides finally fought each other, the bandits were hungry for the village's belongings, and the villagers wanted to protect their families.

There were some holes in the wall, and the head of the red tassel spear protruded from the hole, and it poked at the outside, knocking down five or six bandits in an instant. When the bandits saw that the blood was shed, they didn't know who was taking the lead, so they turned around and fled, and some even left their weapons behind.

"Don't retreat, give Lao Tzu a stand!" Zhang Mingjiu shouted angrily.

"Resist, resist!" The rout roared.

But how can you stand it?

The bandits ran out of the field for a mile before they finally stopped. It's not that I don't want to keep running, but my body is too weak and tired, so I should stop and rest first.

Zhou Hexuan looked at the bad debt in front of him, and the whole person couldn't cry or laugh.

Zhang Mingjiu didn't know how to fight at all, and the attack was unorganized. And the same is true of the Red Gun Society guarding the village, just now the bandits were defeated, and the rout with guns was involved, what a good opportunity to counterattack.

If the Red Spear would have taken advantage of the victory just now, it would have been completely resolved.

Zhang Ming 9 ordered the bandits to re-arrange, this time he learned a lesson, concentrated on attacking the village gate, and even the bandits who were responsible for guarding Zhou Hexuan and others were called to participate in the battle.

"For Lao Tzu to break through Cao Zhuang, everyone has a share in what he grabbed, kill it!" Zhang Mingjiu raised his saber and carried out the most primitive and effective combat mobilization.

Several bandits rushed to the village gate with a wooden stake they had picked up on the side of the road and used it as a ram to hit the village.

"Boom!"

The door shook a few times, but it didn't crash open.

A few cold arrows swished out and pierced the bandits. It was terrible, but it didn't have much power, and the bandits screamed in fright, thinking they were dying, and ran back alive.

Zhang Mingjiu was ruthless, drew his knife and hacked a defeated bandit to death, and shouted: "Those who retreat without permission will be killed!" ”

The bandits turned around in fright and continued their attack, slamming down the village gate with no fate.

At this time, the bandits guarding Zhou Hexuan had already joined the battle, and Sun Yonghao shouted in a low voice: "Sir, run away, this is a good opportunity!" ”

"yes, run for your life." Everyone in the Chunhe class also said.

"Running from what?"

Zhou Hexuan smiled coldly, and smiled a little cruelly: "Dare to rob Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu wants his life!" Yongzhen, give me your gun. ”
