I understand Tan Qinrou's mood, no one has a fire at home, and they still care about whether the blinds look good or not.

I patted Tan Qinrou's back to soothe her mood, and it didn't take long for Tan Qinrou to fall into a deep sleep. She has not been able to rest for the past few days, and she is actually very tired, and once she feels safe, she immediately relaxes.

I also closed my eyes in a daze and took a nap, until someone knocked on the door and window and said, "Uncle, uncle, someone is looking for you." ”

I gently put Tan Qinrou on the bed, covered it with the quilt, reached out and pinned the pistol to my waist, and tiptoed out of the room.

Knocking on the door was the maid Xiaocui who was waiting for Tan Qinrou, who had been living outside Tan Qinrou's room so that she could be summoned at any time.

I said, "Who's looking for me?" ”

Xiaocui said: "It's a soldier. ”

I glanced downstairs, and standing with the next man downstairs was a squad leader of the guard platoon, whom I had instructed to call me when the time came.

I said to Xiaocui: "You can rest, remember to wake up the young lady at three o'clock, but you must not go out, stay in the room." ”

"Yes, uncle." Cui agreed.

I glanced at my watch, and at exactly two o'clock in the morning, I went downstairs and followed the squad leader to the room where the guard platoon was staying.

"It's time to get to work!" I pushed the door open and walked in, and the hiccups were actually already standing up, waiting for my orders.

I said, "Go immediately to the corner gate, set up an ambush circle according to the predetermined plan, and when you set up an ambush, do not make any noise, so as not to be discovered by others, and if you violate the order, military law will be carried out!" ”

The guard platoon is all veterans of the war, and these things do not need to be instructed by me, so they walked out of the room with their guns and hid in the ambush circle that had been arranged long ago.

An hour passed quickly, and Guifu came to the corner gate with a lantern and a firecracker, and said to several guards: "You go to the main gate and gatehouse to inspect it, and I will guard here." ”

A nurse said, "Chief butler, can you do it here alone?" ”

Guifu said: "It's all this time, there shouldn't be any problem, there are really mountain bandits, as soon as I shoot, you will come to support." ”

What else did the nursing home say, Wang Sibao pulled his shirt and said, "What the chief butler ordered, let's do it." ”

Guifu felt strange when he heard the voice, held a lantern to shine on Wang Sibao, and said, "New here? How come I haven't seen you. ”

The nurse hurriedly said: "He came this afternoon, and you went out to buy at that time, so I didn't see him." ”

Guifu put down the lantern and said, "Go quickly, and remind the brothers on the gatehouse to be in good spirits." ”

The nurses said, "Then let's go, you should be more careful." ”

When the guards were far away, Guifu stood there for a long time, his heart was at war with heaven and man, but at last he stepped forward, opened the corner door, and held the lantern in his face, so that people outside could see him clearly.

A few minutes later, more than a dozen people in military uniforms rushed out in the darkness and came straight to the corner gate, and the leader was the second brother Zhang.

Except for Second Brother Zhang, who was carrying a Zhongzheng rifle in his hand, most of the people behind him were the equipment of the miscellaneous army, and the weapons in his hands were extremely old, even the earliest old sleeves.

This also shows why more than a dozen of them can be repelled by Tan Zhai's courtyard, and it is a reason that they dare not fight, for fear of being blocked by the city defense garrison who rushed over, on the other hand, it is indeed because the firepower is too poor, compared to the firepower of the courtyard, it is not much stronger.

Second Brother Zhang and his people all entered the corner gate, turned around and patted Guifu's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Brother Guifu, it's good!" Don't worry, we will definitely have your share of the money! ”

Guifu said: "It doesn't matter, you just don't hurt people." ”

Second Brother Zhang said: "Of course. By the way, Guifu, where does Miss Tan live? ”

Guifu was shocked and said, "You, what are you going to do?" ”

Second Brother Zhang said: "Look at you, what are you afraid of, we are now grasshoppers on a rope, and we should advance and retreat together." As the saying goes, if you catch a thief and catch the king first, my dozen or so broken guns, if you have a firefight with the nursing home, although it is no problem to clean them up, won't it also hurt people? I caught Miss Tan, are you still afraid that Tan Bancheng won't take the money? ”

Guifu is not a fool, he instinctively felt that this matter was inappropriate, and said: "Then what is it, the eldest lady is delicate, she can't withstand such a fright, I'm afraid this matter is inappropriate......"

Second Brother Zhang was a little annoyed and said, "Guifu, can you not be so shy in your work, it's already like this, what kind of loyal servant and protector do you have!" ”

I crouched on the gatehouse, and saw the flashlight flickering outside the courtyard, knowing that it was my people who sent me another signal that all the bandits had come in.

I shouted, "Don't let the bandits down there move!" You're surrounded, lay down your arms! ”

The dozen or so mountain bandits were shocked, and they all raised their guns to look around for targets, "Bang! "A gunshot rang out, and a bandit who tried to shoot in my direction was shot in the head by Ani, who was lying in ambush on the roof, and the dead body fell to the ground, blood splattered on the bandit beside him.

I shouted, "See, that's an example!" Whoever dares to stir around again will be next! ”

Second Brother Zhang raised his gun, bang! Bang! Two shots were fired at me, shouting, "Brothers, fire, fuck whom!" It's just a few nursing homes talking nonsense, see who surrounds whom! ”

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

The gunfire rang out, and within a few minutes, five or six of the bandits fell, and we occupied the high ground in the dark, although the guards platoon carried rifles, which was better than the old weapons of the bandits.

Bang! A shot was fired at the corner door, and Ani's voice came from the roof, shouting, "Brother An, someone has escaped." ”

"I arranged someone outside, and he couldn't run!" I shot down a bandit.

The remaining few mountain bandits saw that they were indeed encircled, and the firepower of the other side was the firepower of the regular army, and they all fell to the ground and shouted: "Don't shoot, let's surrender!" ”

The platoon of guards rushed out of hiding, disarmed the bandits, and captured the seven or eight who had been killed, along with the wounded.

Not long after, I set up an ambush outside, escorting the limping Second Brother Zhang back, who was shot in the leg by a bullet.

The squad leader said: "Battalion commander, just run out of this one and be caught by me." ”

I said, "Okay, you can take someone to search again to see if anything has slipped through the net." ”

Second Brother Zhang walked up to Guifu, who was already paralyzed with fright, and said, "Guifu, you dare to fucking harm me!" ”

Guifu said in a trembling voice: "I, I ......"

He didn't say a whole word for a long time.

I walked over and said, "What's your name?" ”

Second Brother Zhang looked at the dead and grabbed subordinates around him, knowing that the general trend had gone, he lowered his head and was silent.

The fierce gunfire alarmed the city defense guard, because of the recent series of mountain robberies, the number of patrols of the garrison was also increasing, although it was early in the morning, they still quickly arrived at the scene.

When the officer leading the team saw that I was a major, he immediately ran over and saluted, saying, "Sir, it's too late to come to the humble post. ”

I pointed to Second Brother Zhang and said, "Do you recognize him?" ”

The officer took a closer look through the light and said in surprise: "This is, this is Deputy Captain Zhang Jinshan Zhang of our garrison, what is going on......

He went to see the captured and dead and wounded mountain bandits, they were all soldiers of the city defense garrison, and they were all subordinates of Deputy Captain Zhang.
