There are more than 2,000 bandits in the other city, and the total number of his own people is only 1,000. Before Li Ling's attack today, he sent invitations to all parties to train the regiment, and they all arrived one after another at this time. According to Li Ling's assumption, plus the 13 regiments of the nearby seven counties, under the condition of absolute superiority in personnel, they surrounded three and one, giving the other party a chance to break through. Outside the city, these bandits were pursued and intercepted. Anyway, those regimental exercises are unwilling to consume their own armed forces, and they have the meaning of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight.

Li Ling couldn't, and once again ordered the siege. This time, he put the Hongmen brothers organized by Meng Sandu in the front line. Hongmen has a rule that everyone who enters the mountain basically has to be trained by the deacon. Most of these 100 or so people have also had special war training. This is also where it comes in handy.

Thick smoke billowed from all over the city, and the gunfire was loud, and more than 20 light machine guns gathered by Li Ling effectively suppressed the fire at the head of the city, which was more than two meters wide above the gate, and the three commandos charged fiercely again. The unhesitating men were armed with shell guns and grenades on their bodies, and under the cover of heavy fire, they carried more than a dozen long ladders to the city wall.

Just after successfully erecting dozens of long ladders to the high city wall, pieces of grenades suddenly flew down the city, and a series of violent explosions blew up several meters on both sides of the city gate beyond recognition, and in the bright firelight, pieces of bamboo ladders and fragmented limbs flew out, and the blood shot out under the impact of gunsmoke, like a flickering purple light band, and the pungent blood rushed towards him in the violently twisted gunsmoke.

Such a tragic scene alternately appeared around the towering city wall, which made Li Ling grit his teeth with hatred. Seeing that a large number of brothers died unexpectedly, if they hadn't been seriously injured, they would have brought guns and attacked in person. Just as the order to retreat was given. Suddenly, I saw that a person on the city wall finally climbed the ladder, holding a grenade in his hand, and threw it at the bandits defending the city. It was Wang Jian.

The rest of the Hongmen brothers were not afraid of death, and followed closely behind, and finally opened a gap. Seeing this, He Jiatang hurriedly ordered his subordinates to take advantage of the situation to attack. Sun Yuzhu also showed his might, personally leading people to attack the city. And the rest of the regimental training weapons also rushed to see the opportunity.

Zhang Mingjiu, the leader of the bandits, saw that the city gate was not secured, and he was also very anxious. At this moment, I heard a report from my subordinates: Sun Dianying's troops were coming and had reached ten miles away.

"It's over, it's over." Zhang Mingjiu was stunned for a while. He gathered bandits to occupy Zhangqiu, with the intention of waiting to be absorbed by the government in order to get a background. And the military advisor Zhao Zhuming offered advice to let him establish himself as king. Although he was free, he was led by Li Ling to capture the city gate.

At this time, Zhao Zhuming's eyes rolled and said: "Since we are being attacked from inside and outside, seeing that Zhangqiu is not safe, it is better to go to Sun Dianying in order to protect the armed forces." ”

Zhang Mingjiu had no other way, so he said, "Okay, gather people and retreat immediately." ”

The battle lasted from morning to noon and ended with the retreat of Zhang Mingjiu's bandits. Li Ling also got the report, and Sun Dianying led his troops to receive Zhang Qiu. Li Taihei on the side scolded fiercely: "This calf won't come early, won't come late, but at this time I came to pick peaches." ”

Sun Dianying had long been invited by the squires of Jinan, and he had not moved. Since he came at this moment, Li Ling was not in a hurry to enter the city, and ordered everyone to withdraw and treat the wounded urgently. Count the number of deaths. Wang Jian was not lightly injured, and he did not forget to say when he passed in front of Li Ling: "Brother Ling, I didn't disgrace you. ”

Li Lingda sighed: "Good brother, go and recuperate your injuries, and get better as soon as possible." Let's fight the world together. Wang Jian nodded heavily.

According to statistics, the death toll reached 83 and more than 200 were injured. In just a few hours of fighting, there were so many casualties, which made Li Ling feel distressed. All of them were brothers who followed him. Now the dead and the wounded and wounded, it is inevitable that sorrow will come from it.

Seeing that Li Ling was depressed, Mrs. Li **: "A good man fights on the battlefield, and death and injury are inevitable." As long as they can treat their families and their widows well.

Li Ling nodded and arranged for many brothers to recuperate. Recruit all the doctors and nurses in the city to Sun Yuzhu Mansion. Lin Yazhi and other medical students formed a volunteer medical team to treat the wounded.

After Sun Dianying entered Zhangqiu, he asked to meet Li Ling. Li Ling was extremely unimpressed with Sun Dianying, so he told the visitor that he was seriously injured and could not move forward. On the second day, Liu Tingjie, Sun Dianying's adjutant, personally came to invite, and saw that Li Ling was indeed seriously injured on the stretcher, and comforted him again and again: "Commander Sun sent me to visit Brother Li Ling, and learned that you organized a militia group in Zhangqiu to resist bandits, and the commander admired you very much, praised you for your unparalleled style, and was willing to invite you to fight the world, I don't know what Brother Li Ling wants?" ”

It turned out to be recruiting himself, Li Ling said angrily: "My brothers are desperate to suppress bandits, but I heard that the giant bandit Zhang Mingjiu was absorbed by your army, if we also join the command of Commander Sun, wouldn't it be with the great enemy Zhang Mingjiu." What's more, our brothers are not here, and everyone is also temporarily organized and armed, and when the bandits retreat, they will disperse. ”

Secretly screaming a pity, Liu Tingjie took out a two-mouth snuffbox and said, "This is what Commander Sun entrusted me to bring to Brother Li Ling, a small gift, not a tribute." Li Ling knew that Sun Dianying robbed the tomb in Tangling some time ago, and he got countless things, so he accepted it politely.

Liu Tingjie said again: "Commander Sun heard that your subordinate brothers have suffered heavy casualties, and they are willing to support some money and medicines free of charge, and the specific amount is also requested to be discussed with Commander Sun in detail." ”

Li Ling frowned, he didn't believe that Sun Dianying could be so generous. But after thinking about it a little, it is no secret that he has a batch of arms on hand, and it is estimated that Sun Dianying also heard about it. The amount of this batch of arms is not small, and some armed forces have long been making up their minds, so it is better to get rid of them as soon as possible, and it just so happens that a sum of money is needed now, so he said immediately: "I understand the righteousness of Sun Junda." Well, tomorrow I will personally visit Commander Sun. ”

Liu Tingjie was overjoyed: "Brother Li Ling is unable to move, I will send a special car to pick him up tomorrow." ”

Li Ling was in a wheelchair and came to the infirmary to express his condolences to the brothers. But when I saw the brothers who died and came back to life, I also felt guilty. Fortunately, He Jiatang, Sun Yuzhu, Jing Lian and Li Changfu are all intact.

Li Changfu only had the opportunity to be alone with Li Ling now, and said, "Old Lady Li talks about the third young master every day. If the third young master can go back, I will report to him. ”

Li Ling snorted coldly and said angrily, "Will he miss me?" I wish I had died sooner. Brother Fu should not mention this kind of thing in the future. ”

Li Changfu said again: "The eldest young master led the National Revolutionary Army to fight in Shandong. He is now the head of the regiment. Some time ago, I brought a letter home and said that we should organize civilian armed forces to cooperate with his actions, and I established the Red Gun Society with the support of the old lady. ”

The eldest brother hasn't seen him for a long time, but he didn't expect to be the head of the regiment. Li Ling said a little sarcastically: "It's still the eldest brother who is favored, and a letter can make you spend a lot of money, money and manpower." Hey. ”

Knowing that Old Lady Li was biased, Li Changfu didn't explain, and said: "The second young master also came back from the Soviet Union a long time ago, and now I heard that he led an uprising in Jiangxi. He only came back once secretly, and now it's hard to even receive a letter. ”

Li Ling thought of the tall second brother. I haven't seen him for four or five years since he studied in the Soviet Union. The second brother has a great sense of justice, and he is more protective of himself, and often secretly teaches the thugs who bully him. Unlike the eldest brother, who is too honest, his father is obedient to whatever he says.

Seeing that he was silent, Li Changfu sighed, and then took his leave and took people back to Lijiazhuang.

Li Ling eliminated harm for the people and drove out bandits, and on the streets of Jinan, his name once again caused a sensation, and everyone gave a thumbs up. On behalf of the people, the squires and celebrities sent the Wanmin umbrella Wanmin flag to show their gratitude. Even Granny Wen puffed up her chest when she walked, and bluntly said that this nephew was filial and sensible, knew the general situation, and gave her a long face.

Not only Granny Wen, but also the people in Lijiazhuang were all beaming. When the family meeting was held in the ancestral hall again, Li Ling's second uncle Li Fugui said proudly: "I knew that the third man would become a big man sooner or later, let's see!" A wave of the banner can attract thousands of people. The three of them, I am optimistic about him. ”

"Yes, yes. Li Ling was born with dragon liver and tiger gall. I dissuaded him when he was expelled from the family that day. You all want to take him one by one and send him to the official, and I don't agree with a thousand. ”

"When did you say you disagreed? Aren't you also afraid of being implicated, so you came up with a bad idea to let the old lady get seriously ill and trick him back, and now you are not ashamed to say this. I wanted to save Li Ling, my knife was sharpened all night, but there were too many people escorting him to do it. ”

"Cut! Just your person who can stun a chicken and save people, blow you. ”

“……”

Li Changfu stood aside and watched life with a cold eye. On that day, Li Ling fell into a catastrophe and fell into the well one by one, for fear of having something to do with Li Ling. Now that Li Ling has returned strongly, he has taken the lead in attacking the bandits and made a name for himself, and these people have seen the wind and sang praises to the rudder, and they are afraid that they will have a weak relationship with Li Ling.

On the second day, Sun Dianying sent an American Ford to pick up Li Ling. When passing through the city wall of Zhangqiu, some blood was still red and dazzling, and Li Ling couldn't help but be sad.

Sun Dianying is over forty years old, and he has a lot of pockmarks on his face, and he is known as "Sun **Zi". Seeing Li Ling, he was very enthusiastic, and immediately took out a four treasures of the Qing Dynasty as a meeting gift. Li Ling's legs were injured and he couldn't salute in a wheelchair, so he just thanked him and accepted it.

Sun Dianying said: "Brother Li Ling is very young, and he has made outstanding contributions to leading the heroes of the rivers and lakes to get rid of bandits. Shame on our soldiers. If you don't dislike it, you will be an official under your brother. As long as I have something to eat, I will never starve you, brother. ”

Li Ling shirked again, and said: "Thanks to Commander Sun's affordability, you also know that my brothers are a rabble, and they can't become a big climate. It's okay to flirt with a little girl on the street, but if you go to the battlefield, you'll be scared. ”

Sun Dianying laughed and said: "My brother is also good at these things, I was in my hometown of Henan back then, and I was also idle." My biggest dream is to be rich and powerful, and to marry a beautiful girl when I see her. ”

Sun Dianying was vulgar, and he did not hide his background, which made Li Ling feel good. At this time, I learned that he was the leader of the civil Taoist organization. It is not much different from the Red Gun Society, the Big Knife Society, etc. The more the two talked, the more speculative they became, and they had a sense of hating each other.

Finally, Sun Dianying finally said: "I heard that Brother Li has a lot of weapons and ammunition in his hands, I don't know what you should do with it?" Now that the territory is divided, I have the money to buy weapons, and it is difficult to transport them. If you can, you might as well sell some to your brother. Of course the price you out. ”

Li Ling was not pretentious, and said: "I can't hide it, I borrowed money to buy these things from Brother Hongmen. In addition to the yesterday's siege, there are still more than 2,000 rifles, a dozen light machine guns, and a few boxes of grenades. I admire Commander Sun's heroism, if you need it, how about giving it to you at the purchase price? ”

Sun Dianying was overjoyed and said, "I don't have any money, but I have a lot of things." You come with me. ”

In a heavily guarded secret room, there were hundreds of boxes placed side by side, and Sun Dianying asked people to open a few. I only saw Li Ling dizzy.

Gold bracelets, rubies, sapphires, tourmalines, jade rings, jade, agate, red coral, dragon head flowers, coral beans, ivory carvings, calligraphy and paintings, bookmarks, swords, etc
