All of the bandits who were killed were scorched black and bloody, but few of them were missing arms or legs, and many of them had wide eyes and expressions of unbelievable fear on their faces.

Yang Shuoming looked at the death of these bandits, but he was not as excited as Xu Yuanjin, he frowned, got up and came to the corpse, squatted down and examined it carefully, his brows tightened.

Judging from the state of these bandits who were killed, there is still a gap between the power of these mortar shells made by earthen methods and those made with home-made explosives and Yang Shuoming's imagination.

Under the slight movement of Yang Shuoming's mind, his supercomputer eyes quickly gave relevant analysis data, which proved Yang Shuoming's judgment.

These home-made mortars are a powerful weapon against bandits with poor combat effectiveness, but they undoubtedly need more improvement if they are to be used against well-equipped and trained regular troops.

However, in this remote township where there is an extreme lack of mechanical processing equipment, it is not easy to make such a cannon in such a short time, and if you want to make further improvements, it is not enough to blindly rely on soil methods alone.

"It's better to get a few more of these cannons." Xu Yuanjin didn't know when he came to Yang Shuoming's side, he looked at the almost 300 bandit corpses around him, "Damn, slaughtered a He Black Donkey, and attracted so many bandits." ”

Yang Shuoming saw that several security guards not far away were stabbing to death some bandits who had been seriously injured and had not yet lost their breath with long shuttle darts, and asked, "Why don't you leave a few questions?" ”

"People who are going to die, you give them a good time! There are more than a dozen captives captured, enough for you to interrogate. Xu Yuanjin looked at Yang Shuoming mockingly, as if he was laughing at him for not knowing how to do it, "What?" Want to dig something out of their mouths? ”

Yang Shuoming told Xu Yuanjin about the ambush he had just made and the arson bandits appear in the town, and after listening to Yang Shuoming's story, Xu Yuanjin's face immediately pulled down.

"There are still internal annihilations in the town! Grandma's! Xu Yuanjin said with some annoyance, "Lao Tzu found out which one it was, and he had to kill them!" He pulled Yang Shuoming, "Go!" We must find out the internal annihilation today! ”

Xu Yuanjin pulled Yang Shuoming to the place where the prisoners were held, Yang Shuoming's eyes swept over these bandits who were squatting on the ground with their hands tied behind their backs, and when he saw a few young figures that could even be said to be childish, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

How could such a child, who should be of school age now, join the bandits?

The children in front of him reminded Yang Shuoming of the troubled teenagers who dropped out of school and entered the society due to various "social reasons" in later generations, and couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart.

Even in the later generations of societies with developed material civilization, such problems have not really been solved, let alone this era?

"These little cubs are very timid, they must have just joined the gang," said one of the security guards, "and when we hit them first, they screamed in fright, like girls." He toe the older one crouching in front of him, "See?" It's all peeing. ”

Yang Shuoming noticed the other party's already wet trouser legs, looked at his frightened eyes, and faintly sympathized in his heart.

Xu Yuanjin noticed Yang Shuoming's somewhat strange expression, and shook his head a little funny, as if he was laughing at him for being rare and strange. He began to shout out who the bandits were.

The prisoners, who had already been frightened, did not give the security guards a chance to torture them at all, but told them everything they knew like pouring beans into a bamboo tube, and Yang Shuoming and Xu Yuanjin knew that the situation was far more complicated than they imagined.

After the last time the security team of Shuanglong Town attacked the bandits in the Troubled Stone Mountain, the bandits in the rest of the mountains were worried that this was the beginning of the large-scale encirclement and suppression of the official army, and they all had a sense of crisis, and they actually formed an alliance in order to protect themselves, but later they learned that there was no official army brigade stationed in Shuanglong Town, and Yao Changkui, the owner of Saishiling Mountain, who was closer, moved the idea of looting Shuanglong Town. Yao Changkui sent his younger brother Yao Dafa to lead the bandits and He Changli to attack Shuanglong Town together, and made an appointment to respond internally, and the inside and outside should work together.

Yao Changkui's strength is actually not enough to capture the entire Shuanglong Town, his goal is actually the Huang family compound, after knowing about Yang Shuoming's affairs from He Changli's mouth, in order to establish power in front of other mountains and covet the Huang family's wealth and Huang Yunzhi's beauty (the news learned from the mouth of the Yu bandits in the Troubled Stone Mountain), he is determined to kill Yang Shuoming and snatch Huang Yunzhi while destroying the Huang family compound. In the name of "avenging the head of Heda", he borrowed a few "fast hands" from other mountains and ambushed them in the town, specifically ambushing Yang Shuoming while attacking Shuanglong Town.

But what the bandits didn't expect was that the defense of Shuanglong Town was very tight, and the security team quickly arrived at the battlefield, and the artillery brought was so powerful (they had heard the relevant news from Neiying before, but they didn't take it seriously), they didn't even enter the town, they were beaten to death, wounded, and damaged most of the centaurs, and finally could only flee with a stream of urine.

Under Xu Yuanjin's interrogation, the bandits confessed to the insider who had been bought in the town, that is, Yin Dehong, the shopkeeper of Dehongshun's store. Yin Dehong had colluded with bandits in many mountains before, and when the shops in Shuanglong Town and its Yongning County went to the provincial capital to handle goods, he repeatedly reported to Yao Changkui's gangs, causing the passing truck caravans to be robbed several times. And there is a special cellar in his Dehongshun shop, where some of the stolen goods are hidden for the bandits. This time, the bandits who disguised themselves as security guards to attack Yang Shuoming were hidden in his house from the beginning, and those arson bandits also lurked in Dehongshun.

Xu Yuanjin, who learned the details, took his men and horses to copy Dehongshun, Yang Shuoming did not go back with him, he checked the status of the two mortars, rested for a while, and somehow came to the place where the prisoners were held.

For Yang Shuoming, the eyes of these children are always unforgettable.

At this time, these captives had already made the security guards tie up and sit in the corner, Yang Shuoming's eyes fell on the children again, and the children raised their heads in unison to meet his gaze.

The eyes of these children reminded him of the eyes of the poor out-of-school children he had sponsored in his original historical time and space.

And when he thinks of those ragged children who always have a sunny smile and are innocent and cute, Yang Shuoming's heart is always sour.

It is for the sake of these children's tomorrow that Yang Shuoming chose to carry out an indomitable struggle at the expense of his own future, in order to attract the attention of society and political axes.

Yang Shuoming, who has always been persevering, at this moment, thought of the children he would never see again, and tears couldn't help but welled up in his eyes all at once.

The security guards, the captives, and several children all looked at Yang Shuoming, who was sitting there with his head bowed and tears streaming down his face, not knowing what was going on.

"Mr. Yang, is it the head of the family......

Lei, who came over, carefully squatted down beside Yang Shuoming and asked in a hoarse voice.

Yang Shuoming wiped his tears with his sleeve, shook his head, and did not speak.

Because he didn't hear Yang Shuoming's answer, Zhao Erhu, who had just drunk Yang Shuoming's wine yesterday, thought that something was really wrong at Yang Shuoming's family, roared wildly, kicked a prisoner to the ground, grabbed another prisoner, raised a fist the size of a mortar, and looked at his fierce appearance, several children screamed in fright again.

"Lao Zhao!"

Seeing that this terrible fist was about to be slammed down, Yang Shuoming shouted to stop Zhao Erhu.

Zhao Erhu looked at Yang Shuoming, who had regained his calm, a little puzzled, Yang Shuoming smiled at him, signaling that it was okay, not as he thought, Zhao Erhu let go of the captive.

Yang Shuoming asked Zhao Erhu to untie the three youngest children, Zhao Erhu looked at Yang Shuoming, grinned, showed an incomprehensible expression, and then pulled out the dagger and broke the ropes of the three children.

The three children rubbed their limbs that were tied up a little numb, and looked at Yang Shuoming timidly, looking a little overwhelmed, Yang Shuoming beckoned to the three of them, signaling them to come close and speak.

Yang Shuoming asked the names of the three children and their experience as bandits, but the answers of the three children surprised Yang Shuoming.

These three children were originally the children of peasant families in the border areas of Hunan and Jiangxi, and the reason why they joined the gang was to eat mixed rice.

"We don't want to be bandits, but we can't help it...... Otherwise, I will starve to death...... "Cai Aniu, the youngest, cried, "There was a famine at home, and my father and mother followed the hungry people to grab food, so that the officers and soldiers killed ......."

"My father and mother were forced to die because they couldn't pay the rent." Liu Xiaoqi, the oldest and the oldest, looked at Yang Shuoming and said in a hoarse voice, "I want to avenge my father and mother, so I ......."

Yang Shuoming nodded, his eyes fell on the child named Wang Xiaozhu, he stood there silently, although there were tears flashing in his eyes, he kept holding back and didn't let the tears flow. Except for his name, he remained silent.

may be afraid that his good friend will suffer, Liu Xiaoqi looked at Yang Shuoming with some fear, and said for him: "Xiaozhu's mother is ......."

"Say no more!" Wang Xiaozhu interrupted Liu Xiaoqi's words, he looked at Yang Shuoming, his eyes showed a trace of unspeakable grief and indignation, "You can kill me!" I'll be able to go to my mother! ”
