Chapter Ninety-Six: Capture the Big Chicken Coop

Updated: 20-0-0

As Wang Tiehammer speculated, this valley is where the Big Chicken Coop Society is located.

The Big Chicken Coop Society originally settled in the area of Jilong Street, but because of the increasing number of Han immigrants, the Kaida Gran people were squeezed, and finally had to migrate here, and now there are only more than 40 Kaida Gran aborigines left in the society.

Pan Jiji and Pan Amu were thrown to the ground with their hands and feet tied, and they had something in their mouths.

It is customary in the society that unmarried men are used as "biting dings", which is the messenger in the society. Pan Jiji is 26 years old this year, and Pan Amu is 16 years old this year, and both of them are unmarried.

Generally speaking, the twenty-six-year-old Pan Jiji should have gotten married and had children a long time ago, but he is still unmarried, so he is still a "biter" in the society.

Pan Jiji is a normal man, but the women of Fanshe he likes are all married to Han people, and the Han women in Jilong Street and Tianliao Port are not up to him. Sitting in the sentry, he was very unhappy, leaning against the wall and dreaming of marrying a daughter-in-law, so he gave Xun Suji and them uniforms.

Ni Ashui told the two of them in Hokkien dialect, "We are just passing by, and we don't want wealth or people." If you cooperate, I'll let you go later, and if you don't cooperate, it's a dead end. Do you understand? ”

As he spoke, Injiro drew his katana and made a gesture between the necks of the two of them.

The sharp blade went straight to Injiro's pores, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to move. Pan said in his heart, I haven't married a daughter-in-law yet, I don't want to die. Feeling that the blade had been removed, he immediately nodded desperately, indicating that he understood.

Although Pan Amu also nodded in agreement, he was very unconvinced.

Pan Amu is 16 years old, but the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers. He has a lot of brute strength, climbs mountains quickly, shoots bows and arrows well, and is a good hunter in the society.

Although Injiro's knife was very sharp, he was not very afraid of it. Lying on the ground, Pan Amu secretly cursed, these pirates are really cowards, and it is not a good man to carry out a surprise attack, and when I get out of trouble, I can kill you all with my bow in just three strokes.

Just as he was lying on the ground thinking wildly, he heard the sound of soft footsteps in the distance, and he felt that there were a lot of people.

Soon Qiu Feng and Ma Jia arrived here with a platoon of soldiers. Pan Jiji and Pan Amu were amazed, there were so many pirates, it seemed that there were as many people as in the community.

What are these pirates trying to do? It won't be in league with the knives that attacked Chicken Coop Bay in the middle of the year, right? However, they don't look like they're dressed like that!

In the summer of this year, under the leadership of the leader Huang Wei, the knife society that escaped from Xiamen ran to Jilong Bay and occupied Jilong Street for a period of time, and was later driven away by Zeng Yuming, the deputy general of the Taiwan North Road Association, with the Qing army.

Qiu Feng, Xun Suji and the others whispered, Pan Amu and Pan Jiji were tied to two trees respectively, and sharp weapons such as knives on their bodies were also searched.

Pan Jiji was immobilized so that he couldn't move at all, his face was full of horror, Qiu Feng patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Don't be nervous, your people will come to save you later." ”

"They don't know Chinese!" Ni Ashui helped Qiu Feng translate.

The Big Chicken Coop Society is located in a col in the Bachimen Valley, with its back to Gongziliao Mountain. Around the village are densely planted with thorns, and during this time, they are overgrown with all kinds of vines.

Xun Suji took Ni Ah Shui and Yin Jiro against the thorn wall and passed by the village, causing a burst of barking from the dogs in the village. Qiu Feng followed with someone.

Out of the valley, the view suddenly widens. This is a large piece of flat land, surrounded by mountains on three sides, one side facing Keelung Bay, and two small streams happily descend from the mountains and merge into a small river to the northwest.

By the faint glow of the night, there was a single-plank bridge across the river in front of him. This is where the Keelung Anlan Bridge was located in the future.

Xun Suji, Qiu Feng and others walked across the single-plank bridge and walked quickly towards Dashawan along the left bank of the river.

The wind is getting stronger and stronger, and the mountains and forests are making noise one after another. As he walked, he pricked up his ears to listen to the movements around him. Not long after walking, he felt the "boom" mountain wind whistling, as if mixed with the sound of "boom~boom~". A few steps further, Xun Su Ji smelled a salty, fishy, and somewhat bitter fresh smell, and he stopped.

Although the night blurred the sea and land, Xun Suji could hear that not far ahead, the waves were like thousands of horses singing in unison, one wave pressing the other, one wave after another, "whooshing" and "whoa" lapping on the beach.

Qiu Feng quietly stepped forward and asked, "Dashawan has arrived?" ”

"Here we are." Xun Suji turned back in the direction of the valley, a little worried, "Will these familiar fans make any noise?" ”

"I just want them to make some moves." Qiu Feng smiled and drew a circle with his hand, "This piece is where our base is located, and these ripe fans must be cleaned up." Wang Tiezhu said, we are civilized people, and if we are at fault, we will be justified in dealing with it. ”

Ni Ah Shui and Yin Jiro quickly came to report that about 300 meters west along the beach was the Ershawan Fort, surrounded by a high wall.

The Ershawan Fort was built in 40 years. Different from the Ershawan Fort rebuilt by Liu Mingchuan later, the Ershawan Fort at this time was not on the mountain, but on the seaside.

When the Sino-British Opium War broke out in 40 years, in order to prevent the invasion of the British army, the Taiwanese military and civilians built a Haikou defense fort with eight gun piers on the coast of Ershawan on the east side of Keelung Port to control the Keelung waterway in the center of Sheliao Island and Baimi Urn. Dajilongxun was responsible for the defense of the Qing court in this area of Keelung, and all the soldiers of the green battalion guarding the flood were stationed in the fort.

Xun Suji picked up the walkie-talkie and reported the situation to Wang Tiezhu softly.

The "Qinglong" landing craft where Wang Tiehammer is located has already passed through the mouth of Keelung Bay. In order to reduce the movement, the Qinglong closed the hatch, closed a diesel engine, drove it alone, and slowly approached the sea outside the nose of the fairy cave. This place belongs to the west sea of Keelung Bay, the port is deep and the water is wide, and ships such as the Xuanwu, Dinghai and Dunan have already been quietly moored there.

Just now, the Dinghai ship and the Dunant ship turned off the steam power and sailed silently into Keelung Bay without alarming the people in the harbor.

Everything is under control!

Wang Tiezhu smiled, gently pressed the button on the walkie-talkie, and ordered the Dinghai ship and the Dunan ship to immediately enter the combat deployment and be ready to shell the Ershawan battery at any time.

"Oh, oh, oh~~"

At this moment, the sound of chickens crowing all over the place sounded around Keelung Bay, such as the Big Chicken Coop Society, the Chicken Coop Street, the White Rice Urn, and the Sheliao Island.

The moon in the sky was obscured by dark clouds like ink, and the whole world seemed to be shrouded in darkness. This rooster crows all over the place, and it is the darkness before dawn. Xun Suji knew that it was about to dawn, and he had to quickly climb into the fort and destroy the Qing army inside.

Xun Suji and Qiu Feng quickly touched the edge of the wall of the Ershawan Fort with their men and horses. There was a sound of dogs barking from inside the wall.

Without thinking, Xun Suji took out two highly poisonous meat buns from his pocket and threw them into the wall with a "snap".

The sound of dogs running from within the fence was heard, and after a whimper, there was no movement.

Xun Suji reconnoitred with an infrared telescope, and on the watchtower of the fort, the soldiers of the Green Battalion in charge of guarding were sleeping soundly with muskets in their arms.

Ni Ah Shui and Yin Jiro threw the rope ladder carried with the sound up the wall, and Xun Suji climbed up first. Standing on the wall, Xun Suji lowered his head, and a big dog was lying under the wall, already whining and wailing. He looked up, and in the darkness there were eight cannon piers lined up neatly, and behind the cannon piers were the barracks of the barracks.

Well, there are lights in one of the independent big houses, and the lights are on the third watch and the fifth watch is the chicken, it is when the boy is studying, and there are still people in the Manchu army who want to take the top prize?!

Lin Wencha, the general manager of Dajilongxun, drank too much wine at Lin Guoshan on Jilong Street last night, and fell asleep when he returned to Ershawan Fort and lay down. This rooster crow woke him up, and he felt that his mouth was dry, and Lin Wencha sat up as soon as he turned over.

"Water! Water! ”

Ma Ben, who was waiting outside, hurriedly pushed the door in, he lit the oil lamp with his hands and feet very neatly, and then took out the kettle that was still warm from the soup woman, poured a glass of sweet water, and handed it to Lin Wencha.

Then the dog barked twice and stopped again.

Lin Wencha didn't care, picked up the cup and took a sip, the temperature was just right. So he tilted his neck and drank it in one go, his mind was slightly clear, and he hiccuped very gratefully.

"Open the window! It's too stuffy in the room" The cup was handed to Ma Ben, and Lin Wencha went out the window, but it was still dark outside.

Ma Ben put down his glass, got up and opened the window facing the sea, and the fresh air blew in from the outside, filling the room.

Flying into the room with the wind is the roar of the mountains and forests, and the crashing waves on the shore. Lin Wencha smelled the fresh air, heard the natural sounds of nature, and his head was much clearer.

Ma Ben didn't mind, and leaned into the distance, "Hey, what's that?" ”

On the surface of the sea near the white rice urn, there was a faint pile of swarthy shadows.

Not good, there is a situation at sea!

Lin Wencha probe, this is definitely a lot of ships, but the sea off the nose of the fairy cave was still empty last night. He immediately realized that there was a problem, and the drunkenness disappeared into the clouds at once.

At this moment, the sound of "Dangdang" striking the gong twice came from the direction of the big chicken cage society. The gong sounded twice, and then it stopped abruptly.

This is Pan Amu's warning to Ershawan Fort!

Just now, Qiu Feng and the others walked through the valley, causing a dog to bark in the village, and Ah Lang woke up.

Ah Long is the elder of the Keda Gran clan and the head of the Big Chicken Coop Society.

Why is the dog barking so hard today? Ah Lang felt a little strange as he lay on the bed. Sticking his head out through the gap in the wall, there seemed to be no movement in the village.

The Pingpu people in the Keelung area live in a "ganlan" style building with stairs and steps. First, a five- or six-foot-high (about 5 meters) bamboo and wooden platform was built, on which a house was made of bamboo, bamboo was used as a pillar, bamboo was woven as a wall, and finally a ladder was placed in front of the top door to lead to the ground to prevent heat, moisture and snakes.

From the bamboo and wooden platform in the distance, a group of figures faintly flashed in the mountains, and Ah Long gave a cold snort, is this a pirate?

He took a closer look, and the figure had disappeared out of the valley, as if it was going in the direction of Dashawan. Sensing that something was wrong, Ah Lang immediately got up from the bed, put on his clothes, and stepped on the ladder to the ground.

Seeing the head of the society coming from the village, Pan Jiji and Pan Amu, who were tied to the big tree at the head of the village, were whimpering and struggling desperately.

Ah Long shook his head and didn't speak, he directly took out the knife he carried, first cut the belt for Pan Amu, and then turned around and prepared to use the knife to loosen Pan Jiji.

Pan Amu has been indignant and wants to teach the pirates a lesson. As soon as he was relieved, he didn't bother to throw away the rags in his mouth, turned around and ran towards the outpost.

"What are you doing?"

Pan Amu tore off the rags in his mouth and didn't look back, "I'll call the police first, these pirates are definitely going to the fort!" ”

Ah Long was anxious, "Stop! ”

Pan Amu seemed to be in a demonic barrier, and he didn't hear what Ah Long said, he turned out the gong in three times and two times, and "Dangdang" just knocked twice, and was hugged by Pan Jiji, who rushed behind him.

Pan Amu wanted to struggle, but Pan Jiji held him desperately, "Pan Amu, are you crazy?" People are just passing by, there is no hostility towards us, we can't help but follow the rules. ”

"They're not pirates, they're there to deal with the Fort's officers, they're rebelling. ”

"What do the rebels do not care about us, the Knife Society is also a thief, they have occupied Chicken Coop Street for several months, is it a hindrance to us Keda Gran?" Ah Lang used his fingers to pestle Pan Amu's forehead several times. "There are more than forty people in the Big Chicken Coop Society now, tell me, what strength do we have to meddle in our affairs."

On the watchtower of Ershawan Fort, two gongs woke up the guarding green battalion soldiers from their dreams, and he looked up, not good! There were many ships at sea, and two ships had fireballs in their bows.

Hearing the sound of two gongs coming from the direction of Dashawan, Wang Tiehammer immediately ordered the cannon to be fired.

"Boom" two loud bangs, two shells flew out of the Dinghai ship and the Dunant ship respectively, and landed on the battery, which immediately caused a violent explosion!

"Enemy attack~" The soldiers on the watchtower snorted, and before they could ring the bell to warn, they were shot down.

As soon as the cannon sounded, Lin Wencha hurriedly ran out of the room, and the huge shock wave caused him to almost fall.

This is a crime by the people, right? The cannon is so powerful.

The soldiers of the green battalion in the barracks slept so soundly that when they heard the sound of cannons, they threw away the quilt in fright, and ran out with their pants in hand. The camp was behind the gun pier, and although the shells did not fall here, you could feel the shock wave and the scorching heat around it.

Is it running, or is it fighting? The soldiers didn't know what to do for a while.

"Silly, huh!" Lin Wencha was so angry that he stomped his feet, "Hurry up, hurry up and get on the gun position!" ”

The shell exploded a few times, and suddenly stopped. The soldiers immediately recovered and ran down the stone steps to the gun emplacement.

The general Xie Wang looked at Lin Wencha, and stammered a little, "My lord, the key to the powder magazine!" ”

Uh, forget about this stubble! Cannonballs and gunpowder were stored in a stone chamber under the fort, and the door was guarded by the Iron General.

Lin Wencha took out the key from his waist and was about to hand it to Xie Wang.

"Bang bang bang!" There was a burst of gunfire, and under the wall of the fort, there stood a line of people, all of them with muskets in their hands.

Qiu Feng waved his hand, "Shoot!" ”

"Bang bang bang!" Another burst of gunfire.

Four shots in a row, the Qing soldiers were all frightened, no one dared to stand there, and a large area was lying on the flat ground and on the steps.

The gunfire stopped, and the sound of "surrender or kill" roared again.

Lin Wen saw that the situation was not good, and as soon as he was on his waist, he wanted to drill into the room, "Bang!" With a bang, seven or eight guns fired a volley at him, and Lin Wencha pounced and fell in front of Xie Wang.

At this time, the sky was a little bright, Xie Wang went to Lin Wencha There were a lot of blood holes, and the blood flowed out along the gun's eye, and he shouted in fright, "Surrender, we surrender!" ”
