In the city, in the barracks.

After Zhou Xiuying conveyed the order, Yang Banhou and Zhou Xiuying left with twenty special forces from the Sharp Knife Battalion. When Huang Shihai got the news of standby, he also summoned the 2,000 soldiers under his command. However, Huang Shihai did not intend to take all the soldiers away, so he only ordered 1,000 people to come out, leaving 1,000 to guard the camp. He came to the gate of the camp with a thousand soldiers and waited in line for Li Zhen to come.

Huang Hu didn't follow Yang Banhou out on a mission, so he ran to Huang Shihai's command and begged Huang Shihai to take him alive. Huang Hu looked curious and said, "Brother Shihai, what did you say about this time?" ”

Huang Shihai shook his head and said, "Madam didn't say it explicitly, how could I know?" ”

Huang Hu's eyes rolled and said, "Could it be a foreigner?" The general had already asked us to guard against foreigners, and I thought we might have to go to war with them. Hmph, this time I will definitely defeat the foreigners. ”

Huang Shihai stared at the outside of the camp and said, "Wait, the general will be here soon." ”

Huang Hu suddenly felt bored, so he stopped talking.

Time passed, the cold wind howled, the warm winter sun had sunset, and the sky was gradually getting dark.

Suddenly, Huang Hu's eyes widened and he said, "Look, the general is here." ”

When Huang Shihai heard the prestige, he found that it was really Li Zhen who came on horseback, and Lan Weiwen also followed, and the two quickly approached the camp. Huang Shihai took the initiative to leave the camp, and when Li Zhen arrived, he clasped his fists and saluted, and asked, "General, do you have any orders for you to ask the last general to gather soldiers?" ”

Li Zhen said: "Destroy the Yang family, the biggest in the city, and take the house." ”

Huang Shihai was immediately unhappy, and said: "My lord, as long as the officials in the county government are used to raid the house, can you use the army?" ”

Obviously, Huang Shihai thinks that Li Zhen is overkill.

Li Zhen did not dismount, and said directly: "The wealth of the Yang family is amazing, and tonight's operation involves millions of taels of silver, especially the foreign gun team of two hundred people on the other side, all of which are equipped with foreign guns. Just let the officials of the county government go, and none of them will come back. Go to the house tonight, just in time to see the firepower of the soldiers under your command. Hurry up, if the people run away, the silver will fly, and the ammunition supply of the soldiers under your command will be gone. ”

As soon as the ammunition was mentioned, Huang Shihai immediately came to his senses.

Huang Shihai returned to the barracks in a puff of smoke and quickly killed the soldiers with them. A thousand soldiers, armed with rifled guns, followed with menacing vigour. Led by Lan Weiwen, the group rushed towards the location of the Yang Mansion.

As night fell, a thousand soldiers hurried away with torches.

The sound of messy and hurried footsteps resounded in the streets, waking up many of the people in the city. The houses were lit with oil lamps, and their heads stuck out of their windows, all of them curiously looking at the army running in the streets. The people looked at it, their heads shrank back quickly, and they slammed the windows shut, not daring to inquire again.

Oil lamps lit and quickly went out. These people knew that something was going to happen, and they were curious but afraid of being affected, so they slept honestly.

Li Zhen led his troops to the outside of Yang's mansion, and Yang Banhou and Zhou Xiuying immediately greeted him.

Li Zhen asked, "What's the situation?" ”

Yang Banhou replied, "General, since the afternoon, the guard in the Yang Mansion has been strengthened. Up to now, it is estimated that there are no less than 300 people patrolling and defending the house, and they are all equipped with foreign guns, which has some strength. ”

Li Zhen asked, "Can it be solved?" ”

Yang Banhou said: "With the cover of the twenty special forces of the Sharp Knife Battalion, coupled with the charge of Huang Qianzong's soldiers, the private soldiers of the Yang Mansion can be solved, and it will not be a problem to take Yang Fang." ”

Li Zhen nodded and said, "Very good, this battle will be handed over to you to command, and I will also act as a member of the Sharp Knife Battalion and obey your orders." With that, Li Zhen took his sniper rifle from the soldier's hand and waited for Yang Banhou's order. The thousand soldiers brought by Huang Shihai quickly surrounded the Yang Mansion and prevented the Yang Mansion's people from breaking through. At the same time, the main forces were assembled at the gates, ready for a forced attack.

Yang Banhou did not shirk and nodded in response.

He looked left and right around his surroundings and quickly considered a way to deal with it.

About three minutes later, Yang Banhou ordered: "Mr. Huang Qian, let the soldiers prepare the items to break the door, and then wait outside the door." When I order someone to erect three torches in the shape of finished characters, you will let the soldiers bang on the door, lead the soldiers into the Yang Mansion, suppress the foreign spearmen in the Yang Mansion, control the situation, and then get rid of Yang Fang. ”

"Yes!"

Huang Shihai agreed to come down and immediately began to prepare for the breakdown.

Yang Banhou said again: "General, the special forces of the Sharp Knife Battalion do not charge head-on, and all the soldiers who hide outside the mansion to cover Huang Qianzong. I just looked at the surrounding situation, there are two-story inns on the left and right sides outside the Yang Mansion, and it is only ten zhang away from the Yang Mansion, and there is no problem at all to shoot the people in the Yang Mansion who are hiding outside the ten zhang. As long as we shoot, the soldiers who are waiting in the mansion have to hide, and Huang Qian has a chance to break into the mansion. ”

After Li Zhen listened, he also nodded yes.

The purpose of the special forces is not to charge head-on, but to play a role on the side. Infiltration, covering, going deep behind enemy lines, sniping the head of the other party, etc., now the special forces of the Sharp Knife Battalion are hiding outside to attack, which is just right to control the situation in Yang's mansion.

Zhou Xiuying suddenly asked, "What about me?" ”

Yang Banhou said: "Follow the general!" ”

After finishing speaking, Yang Banhou waved his hand and ordered the soldiers of the Sharp Knife Battalion to act.

After the soldiers entered the inns on both sides outside the Yang Mansion, Li Zhen and Yang Banhou also entered an inn on the left, entered the roof of the building, and set up their weapons to aim at the soldiers in the Yang Mansion.

At this time, the Yang Mansion was brightly lit, and private soldiers were patrolling the courtyard to prevent officers and soldiers from breaking in.

In the hall, Yang Fang was sitting in a precarious position, and Yang Fugui was sitting below, as well as Yang Fang's staff and henchmen.

Yang Fang said in a deep voice: "Everyone knows the movement outside the mansion, Li Zhen of Shanghai Daotai besieged the Yang Mansion with his soldiers, and the Yang Mansion has been surrounded, and we can't spread the news to the outside world." The only way out is to hold the Yang Mansion, and when the war starts, the news of Li Zhen's siege of the Yang Mansion comes out, and the consuls of Britain, France, and the United States will definitely intervene. When the time comes, we will be saved. After it is safe, he will notify Xu Naizhao, the governor of Jiangsu, to deal with Li Zhen. ”

Yang Fang knocked on the table with his right hand, and said in a deep voice: "The most important thing now is to defend the Yang Mansion, and I hope everyone can work together." Otherwise, once the Yang Mansion is breached, not only will the old man be killed, but it will also be difficult for you to save your lives. ”

"Master, don't worry!"

"The head of the family, if you put 10,000 hearts and have the help of the brothers in the house, even if there are 10,000 people outside the house, it is useless. It's just too much for a kid who hasn't even grown his hair to want to go against you. ”

……

In the hall, a person patted his chest to guarantee.

Suddenly, a gunshot rang out outside the hall. Immediately afterward, a scream rang out, but it was a private soldier patrolling outside the hall who was shot in the head and had fallen to the ground bleeding all over the ground and lost his breath.
