The last time Xiaojiazhai was captured, Xiaofu could only be said to be a city within a city, but now, this is definitely a fortress of war.

The outer wall is about six meters high, and there are spearmen hiding behind the battlements, aiming at this side, and there are several pillboxes inside the walls, which have long been waiting for them. This is no longer an ordinary mansion, but a fortress built specifically for war.

"This old man Xiao is really afraid of death." Zhao Tianming accompanied Wang Shihua to stand a hundred meters away, put down the binoculars, and scolded: "When we came last time, the wall of his mansion was only about three meters, but now it has actually increased by one. Damn, we should have burned down this house last time. ”

"Brother Zhao, you can't say that." Seeing Zhao Tianming looking at him puzzled, Wang Shihua smiled and said: "If you think about it the other way, even if you burn it down, but after more than a year, Old Man Xiao has already repaired it." Besides, Old Man Xiao must have regarded this place as the last place for him to save his life, if he hadn't been here, I'm afraid he would have taken advantage of the chaos to run away, how could he obediently cocoon himself here? ”

"Shihua, you mean that he is asking for his own death."

"That's right! Although this courtyard is said to be high and thick, it is also the grave of Old Man Xiao. ”

"So, you have a good idea?"

Wang Shihua nodded, and was about to speak, but he heard the sound of horses' hooves, and when he looked back, it turned out that He Mei had arrived with a group of cavalry.

Wang Shihua hurriedly caught up, and said with a smile while personally helping He Mei get off the horse: "Aunt He, why are you here in person?" ”

"I asked the stone to send things and people to Lao Sicheng, I am a little worried about your side, I will come and take a look, and I will give you some heads by the way."

Wang Shihua, who had already received the news in this regard, was not surprised, but Zhao Tianming, who was on the side, hugged his fists and smiled at He Mei: "Immortal Gu, I haven't seen you for many years, are you okay?" ”

"Zhao ran away, thanks to you, I have been better for so many years."

Get! This He Mei had a holiday with Zhao Tianming. However, what makes Wang Shihua want to laugh the most is that Zhao Tianming still has a nickname like 'Zhao Ranlu', which is really happy.

Facing Wang Shihua looking at him with a smile, Zhao Tianming smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "Immortal Gu, it's me who is wrong, I can't compensate you here." ”

"Don't give me this set, work first, and then, we'll settle the accounts well."

After speaking, he no longer paid attention to Zhao Tianming who was smiling bitterly, and asked Wang Shihua: "Shihua, what's the matter, you haven't caught Old Man Xiao yet?" ”

Wang Shihua nodded, pointed to the Xiao Mansion, and said, "Their city is high and the walls are thick, and I was about to attack, so you came." ”

He Mei turned back to Liu Jin and instructed: "Let the brothers bring all the heads, I will be useful." ”

Taking advantage of this little effort, He Mei whispered to Wang Shihua: "Shihua, wait until you catch Old Man Xiao and hand it over to me." He and I still have a good account to calculate. ”

Wang Shihua didn't care about this, but he had to give Zhao Tianming face. immediately pretended to be embarrassed and looked at Zhao Tianming, and said, "Aunt He, I have no opinion, but I promised Brother Zhao first......"

He Mei immediately looked at Zhao Tianming.

Zhao Tianming smiled very sincerely and said, "Things have a sequence!" Since the matter between Immortal Gu and Old Man Xiao came first, it should be handled by Immortal Gu first. ”

He Mei glanced at Zhao Tianming, nodded, and asked Wang Shihua again, "Have Old Man Xiao's family members been caught?" ”

"Nope."

"No?"

Seeing Wang Shihua nodded, He Mei thought for a while and said, "With Old Man Xiao's cunning and rabbit temperament, I dare to conclude that at this time, Old Man Xiao's family is definitely not in the mansion...... Old Don! Peng Da is in charge! ”

"Here, Aunt He, do you have any orders?"

"You two are both masters of tracking, so I beg you two to bring more people to a radius of ten miles to check the carriage or horseshoe prints, or ask others to see if there is a large number of people passing by in a panic this morning."

"Yes!"

"Remember, if you find out, you two will chase all the way, and you will catch people for me, but you must also leave some more people to guard within ten miles; If you don't hear it, you don't have to chase it out, but defend on the spot. I estimate that when the Xiao Mansion is breached, Old Man Xiao will escape from the tunnel, and when the time comes, it will be up to you. ”

Capturing the enemy's leader is a great achievement. For He Mei for sending this great work to them, they were naturally grateful. After holding his fist at He Mei, Zhengse got on the horse and left.

"Sister, you're all ready."

He Mei nodded and smiled at Wang Shihua: "Shihua, how are you going to attack Xiao Mansion?" ”

"First use the soft baffle to move over with great fanfare to attract Xiao Bing's attention, and then let dozens of people bring more grenades through the building, and when the soft baffle is thirty or forty meters into the courtyard wall, let the bombers keep throwing grenades at the courtyard wall, plus the light and heavy machine guns gathered together to fire and suppress, so that the gunmen on the courtyard wall have no time to take care of the people we participate in the attack. At the same time, Pete used a small steel cannon to blast open the door of the Xiao Mansion, and finally, rushed in with all his might. ”

"Yes! Not bad. However, throwing these heads into me and shouting again, although the chance of letting Xiao Bing come out and surrender by himself is very small, it is enough to make his spearmen fearful, and in this way, it can also greatly weaken their resistance. After speaking, he thought about it and instructed Liu Jin: "Leave the head of Old Man Xiao's youngest son, and throw the rest into me." ”

Soon, I saw Liu Jin holding a small white flag, riding a horse with ten cavalrymen, carrying a package, and slowly walking towards Xiao's Mansion.

There were still thirty or forty meters away from Xiao's mansion, the ten cavalry stopped, Liu Jin shouted "Don't shoot, I'm a messenger" while waving a white flag, and slowly stepped forward, when he was still more than ten meters away from the other party, he stopped and shouted: "Listen to the people on the other side, my head of the family has something to give to Old Man Xiao, please let him smile." ”

"What the hell?"

"It's a letter and some small gifts." Liu Jin waved to the back, and ten cavalrymen came over, threw the burden in their hands into the wall, and then beat the horses and flew away.

Immediately there were frightened shouts and curses from within the courtyard walls, and soon there were cries, and finally, gunshots.

Fortunately, these cavalrymen ran fast when they saw the opportunity, and by the time the spearmen on the courtyard wall opened fire, they had already rushed dozens of meters away.

At the same time that Liu Jin and the others went to deliver the heads, Erhu was using the scavenged cotton wool and the big table as a soft baffle, while Tie Niu and Wang Shiyou were carrying ten bomb throwers, each of whom was carrying a grenade box (50 grenades per box), and two machine gunners carrying ten light machine guns and five boxes of bullets, were advancing from the street house on the right side of the main street: the wooden tile houses of the common people were mostly made of wooden planks, with wooden planks about two centimeters thick and thirty centimeters wide. How could he withstand the opponent in the hand of the iron bull with an iron rod weighing eighty-eight pounds, and he was easily knocked into two pieces. Even if you occasionally encounter a brick wall, the Iron Bull will inevitably break a big hole under the blow.

Soon, I saw that the other party threw the letter down the courtyard wall, saying that he would never surrender.

Wang Shihua's eyes were cold, he pouted and sneered, and with a wave of his hand, he saw that twenty soft baffles had erected a mobile city wall two meters high and eight meters wide, and the two tigers with twenty strong hands, plus ten light machine guns and twenty bomb throwers, as well as more than ten men carrying ammunition boxes, hid behind the soft baffles, and moved towards Xiao Mansion little by little along the main street...... These people are evenly put together by each family.

And behind Wang Shihua, five hundred elites (one hundred people per family) were ready to rush over in one go. Behind them, on the left floor, on the third floor of a three-story restaurant facing the street, Pete with a dozen artillerymen, set up a small steel cannon, and was doing debugging, which would blow up the door of Xiaofu for the army. On the left is a heavy machine gun, a necessary weapon for suppressing fire from a distance.

Outside Xiao's village, Zhao Tianming personally led 4,000 people, with 100 people as a team, to surround the Xiao Mansion within five miles, and there were many spies interspersed during the period. He also deliberately divided the four major families and his own, a total of more than 1,100 cavalry, into three groups, and stayed five miles away from Xiao's village's 'east, west, and north', ready to use the speed of the cavalry to intercept the possibility of Old Man Xiao's escape at any time.

At this point, the ambush on all sides has been deployed, and Old Man Xiao can't escape.

In the midst of the enemy's incessant firing, the soft baffle position did not stop at all, and when it moved forward to about forty meters away from the wall of Xiao's courtyard, it stopped, and slowly split apart, revealing the muzzles of ten light machine guns with black holes......

"Da! Da! Da ......"

As soon as the light machine gun fired, it not only sent the bullets of the courtyard wall in front of him sideways, preventing the enemy from taking the lead, but also signaled the general attack.

"Put!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

"Huh~! Shout~! Shout~! ”

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

The three shells were precisely concentrated at the gate of the Xiao Mansion, and the gate of the Xiao Mansion was immediately torn apart, but bags of dirt were scattered from the gate.

Pete took a closer look at the gate blocked by mud bags with a telescope, and knew that even if the small steel cannon exploded, it would cost at least dozens of shells, which would not only cost Lang, but also that it would be too late.

"The drop point immediately shifted five meters to the left."

The experienced Pete immediately abandoned this extravagant style of play.

After the artillery was debugged, Pete immediately shouted: "Release!" ”

Although Pete is experienced, Old Man Xiao's vision is equally vicious. He had long been prepared to guard against artillery shells, and he built the courtyard wall the same as the city wall, with a thickness of 4.5 meters, and the cannon would have to shoot a few more rounds against such a courtyard wall, not to mention the small steel cannon with much less power.

The three shells went down, and there was no other reaction except for the three bowl-sized holes in the courtyard wall.

Pete roared with resentment on his face: "Don't Lang the shells, it's useless." Hurry up and tell the master of the house that the other party has long been prepared to prevent artillery shells, and the small steel cannon is useless to it, so let him think of other ways quickly. ”

After roaring, he muttered: "If only those three mountain cannons were here." ”

According to Wang Shihua's arrangement: After the Chinese New Year, Pete will take more than a dozen henchmen artillery to receive the three mountain cannons, and go to secret training in a forest west of Flying Shark Village, and then quietly transport them back to hide them after mastering them - after all, they are snatching food from Fang Jue's father, and it is a big trouble for the other party to find out.

Wang Shihua really deserved his reputation for quick wit, as soon as he received the report from Pete's subordinates, he didn't frown, pointed to the stilted buildings on both sides of the main street, and shouted to the second dog: "You take people over immediately, borrow all the stairs from the people's houses, and then ask them to borrow more ropes." ”

The second dog turned around and ran, but Wang Shihua hurriedly added: "I have made it clear to the people, I will return it to them after it is used, and if there is any damage, my Wang family will compensate according to the price." ”

As soon as He Mei heard this, she turned around and looked at Wang Shihua with bright eyes...... Generally speaking, to occupy a place, not to loot and kill the people, but to pacify the people, then there is only one meaning: to treat the people here as their own people.

He Mei was shocked and shocked: What did Wang Shihua start to do with the ideas of the people here?
