The mournful crying suddenly came from the entrance of the village, and under the gaze of everyone Huo Ran, a man pushed a flatbed cart into this small mountain village while crying out of breath.

Looking at the face that was completely covered with blood, dust and tears repeatedly, now every muscle in it was constantly shaking, it was really hideous, the villagers stared at it for a long time, and finally someone let out an exclamation: "Oh my God, it's Lao Li!" ”

Not all the villagers are willing to accept the help of the mage of the magic solution and become the heavenly soldiers with boundless power, and some of them choose to leave their homes temporarily in order to avoid the bandits. And this person, who is known as Lao Li, is one of them!

No one knew what Lao Li had gone through, but as long as he looked at his body, all the villagers couldn't help but gasp. On his body, there were marks left by the whip, there were scratches from the rough ground and even the muscles of the rough ground and rocks as he dragged on the ground, and on the skin he was exposed to the air, the pieces the size of a fist, with a semi-circular arc of blue-purple dents, were even more terrible and serious injuries left by the horse's hooves stepping on the human body.

Lao Li was so seriously injured, his eyes were already dilated, no matter how hard the villagers screamed in his ear, how loudly he shouted, his pupils were so dull, and in his mouth, he just muttered a few words: "The child is his mother, Da Niu, Er Niu, Nier......"

When some villagers finally couldn't help but reach out and lift the straw mat on the wooden cart covered by Lao Li, even if he was seriously injured and tried his last breath, he had to push the straw mat on the wooden cart with a top to send out of the mountain village, suddenly more than a dozen villagers around the flatbed truck, regardless of men, women and children, gathered around the flatbed truck and vomited loudly.

Lao Li's wife, Lao Li's two sons, Lao Li's thirteen-year-old daughter, their bodies were placed on the flatbed. Lao Li's wife and his daughter are all over their bodies, on their faces, with the pain that they can't get rid of even if they die, just look at the bruises and cigarette butts left by their fingers everywhere on their bodies, and then look at their messy lower bodies, you can know that they must have been the most brutal and inhumane round annihilation and torture before their deaths. And Lao Li's two sons...... They were disemboweled, their hearts, their livers, were ripped out with knives, looking at such a terrible scene, even Lei Zhen frowned, no wonder those honest villagers would vomit together.

"It's over, it's over, it's all over, it's all over our family!"

Lao Li, who was pinched hard and poured a bowl of hot water into his stomach, finally regained his senses a little, and hot tears once again poured out of his eyes that had dried up crying, "They are really ruthless, really ruthless!" Our family just wants to avoid them, we just want to find a place to be honest and honest as a farmer, where did I mess with them? Where am I going to recruit them? In front of me, two dozen or so people took turns to spoil my wife and daughter, my Nier, who is not yet thirteen years old! And my two sons, who just couldn't resist picking up rocks from the ground and hitting them, they ......"

Speaking of this, Lao Li couldn't breathe, and his eyes rolled and fainted again. At this time, Lei Zhen also pulled out a dagger with a piece of cloth from the flatbed. On this piece of cloth, someone used the blood of random Jiao to leave four big blood characters: Chickens and dogs are not left!

Looking at such a piece of cloth torn from a certain corpse, Lei Zhen's brows were beating slightly, in the past few years, his footsteps have really traveled through the north and south of China, and he has dealt with the characters of the rivers and lakes and green forests I don't know how many times, Lei Zhen clearly knows that such a blood letter is the bandit led by Zhang Huzi, and the order to kill this small mountain village. And their purpose is undoubtedly to kill chickens and monkeys, set an example with bloody means, and completely dispel the will to resist in other mountain villages that are still in the embryonic state!

"We will immediately withdraw from this small mountain village, and we will still have time to avoid this war!"

"Although these bandits are fierce, they are not fools after all, seeing such a well-equipped private army like ours, they always have to think twice about whether the gains outweigh the losses!"

"The most important thing is that during this period of time when we are fighting against the bandits, the intelligence force will meet with Chen Gongbo's men, even if we can win this group of bandits, it will never be possible to resist the enemy who is recuperating and stronger than us!"

…… Lei Zhen quickly calculated in his heart, but when he turned his head, Lei Zhen was stunned, he was really stunned.

I don't know when, Luo Sanpao, Zhang Cheng, Ghost Cai, Sun Shangxiang, Ninth Uncle, Doctor, Monkey King, Rabbit, Zhao Dawen God, all stood behind Lei Zhen. Each of them looked at the flatbed truck that was carrying four corpses, and even more so a once-perfect but now shattered family, and each of them pursed their mouths.

"Master, you often tell me that as a general, you must know how to judge the situation and never be blinded by emotions and make irrational judgments."

The last one to speak, not Jiangdong Sun Shangxiang, who has always been jealous and hateful, and who can really be called a little sand in his eyes, but a ghost talent, he looked at Lei Zhen and said sincerely: "I have been following Master these days, I have learned a lot of useful things from you, and I also know that at this time, if I am a little smarter and more rational, I should suggest to you that I immediately withdraw from this small mountain village, and even think of a way to attract the bandits and the intelligence force who have been chasing after us. But...... I can't do it, I really can't do it! I'm still a mortal, I can't become a Buddha and enter the Tao, and I can't even know that there are one or two hundred people in this village, men will be disemboweled, women, including children who are not adults, will be tortured and killed, and I can still go as a matter of course! ”

"Master, you have often told me that the reason why we have to stand up and resist our own aggression is that we know that the enemy's strength is a hundred times stronger than ours, and we still have to fight bloodily, not because I am stupid, but because I have invaded our homeland, and they have slaughtered our brothers and ruined our sisters. You tell me about the Nanjing Massacre, tell us about my own atrocities in Lushun, and tell us that in order to enable every Chinese to stand proudly on top of the world, and for the sake of the civilization and indomitable nature of our Chinese nation that has flowed for 5,000 years, we must resist to the death! I agree with what you have taught me and respect your spirit of self-improvement! ”

Speaking of this, the ghost suddenly weakened his knees, and knelt down heavily in front of Lei Zhen, he looked up at Lei Zhen, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the car with four corpses, and the blood was still dripping along the way, in this big mountain, a flatbed truck that drew a bloody road, and shouted loudly: "But Master, look at it, these bandits, what is the difference between them and himself, they want to leave the whole village without chickens and dogs, compared to the Nanjing Massacre, how much better can it be?" Just like what Tai Shi Niang said, how can we sweep the world if we don't sweep a house, if we cover our eyes today, pretend to be deaf and dumb and walk away, then we are the most shameful deserters! Why do you want me to tell everyone in the future that I am a ghost who went to the battlefield just to resist foreign humiliation and let more compatriots live a good life? ”

"Master, take your master and take her away, we will stay here to help the villagers, in this way, whether it is Yue himself or Chen Gongbo's subordinates, they will be firmly attracted by us here. If you take your sister with you, you can take the opportunity to escape from their pursuit! ”

"Bang!"

The head of the ghost slammed heavily on the hard and generous earth beneath their feet. The ghost bent his waist deeply and lowered his head to the man standing in front of him, and he shouted with all his might: "Master, I want to be like you, to become an excellent soldier, I know that soldiers take obedience to orders as their duty, and I know that your decision is correct, I know all the hard work and hope you have invested in me!" Be...... Please, let me choose this last path for myself! So even if it's death, I'll be grateful to you! ”

Lei Zhen looked at the ghost talent quietly, although the ghost talent knelt on the ground, although he lowered his head, but at this time, he really could be called the blue sky above his head and the earth under his feet, if he didn't see it with his own eyes, if he didn't hear it with his own ears, who could know that behind his always hippie smiling face and cynicism like to make fun of others, there was such an upright and brave heart hidden?

Lei Zhen quietly recalled what the ghost had just said, and suddenly a big, proud smile was thrown from the corner of his mouth.

As long as it is right and correct, even if you know that there are tigers in the mountains and prefer to go to the tiger mountains, what does it matter? Even if you have to fight with the blade to the bone, you will die if you can't win against the water, fight him a mountain and a water, and fight him a willow and a bright flower, what's the matter? !

Lei Zhen Huo Ran turned his head, he looked at the village chief and raised the blood letter in his hand, and said loudly: "You have all seen that the road out of the mountain has been blocked by bandits, maybe today, maybe tomorrow, they will come to visit, at that time, whether you kneel on the ground and beg for mercy, or give all your property, including your food for the next day, with both hands, they will kill your whole village, old and young, and there will definitely be no second possibility." In other words, you're dead! But even the dog can jump over the wall when he is in a hurry, and the rabbit dares to eat meat when he is in a hurry, do you dare to take your villagers who are not protected by the mana of Taishang Laojun, and fight with us to break the net of a damn fish, and mix with a dead to survive?! ”

Before the village chief could answer, Lei Zhen continued: "However, there is no free lunch in this world, and it is impossible for me to lead my brother to work for you in vain. I must tell you beforehand that behind us there is a powerful and well-armed force that is hunting us down. Once we stay in this village to help you fight the bandits, we will have to work together to face our common enemy! ”

The village chief's face was bitter, he really didn't want his mountain village, his homeland, to become a battlefield, but did he have any other choice?

Lei Zhen was right, once Zhang Huzi used the corpse and blood book to give them a killing order, no matter how they begged for mercy, they would never be able to get a life from the bandits' butcher's knife.

Escape, that's absolutely impossible! Once they get out of this small mountain village, they are honest villagers, who rarely step out of their homes unless they have to do anything but do so, and they may not be more familiar with this endless mountain than the bandits who were also born and raised in this area for many years.

And with only their own feet, they have to drag their families and families to support the old and the young, and it is even more impossible for them to outrun the bandits' horse team. What's more, as long as you look at the flatbed truck and look at the bloody corpses, and Lao Li, who is not a ghost or a ghost, and only has one breath left, everyone will feel cold in their hearts.

Under everyone's gaze, the village chief finally nodded vigorously. The village chief looked at Lei Zhen, he clearly knew that from this time on, the fate of him and the entire village had been inextricably linked with this man. If they want to live, the only way is to follow behind this man and fight him to the death!

…… Under the command of the village chief, the village had a total of 123 young men over the age of fourteen and under the age of forty-five, all of whom were assembled, including nearly half of the women. It took five minutes for these villagers, who had never received military training and lacked a sense of teamwork, to form a loose line, and their own weapons were even more varied.

It is surrounded by mountains, and there are wild beasts everywhere, so many villagers have hunting rifles at home, probably because of the inevitable loss of military firearms to the people, and two of the villagers even hold a fairly complete formal rifle in their hands!

Luo Sanpao strode over and carefully inspected the guns in the hands of these villagers, although a considerable number of guns have a considerable history, but it is obvious that they have been carefully maintained and can be used at any time.

Seeing this scene, Lei Zhen and Ghost Cai couldn't help frowning together, they glanced at each other, and saw each other's worries in each other's eyes. These honest villagers can all have such weapons in their hands, and Zhang Huzi's group of bandits who make a living by robbing houses and houses are of course even better in their hands.

This group of villagers with firearms and rough marksmanship, and even a few villagers with bows and arrows, who are said to be able to hit a few prey in the mountains with this kind of play, were all assigned to Luo Sanpao's men, and set up a fire support group whose name sounds good, but the actual effect cannot be determined without actual combat tests.

There is also the earthen cannon, which is not bad, but it is too heavy to be moved randomly in actual combat, and can only be used as a fixed battery. It can only be used to defend the village entrance, and the rate of fire is too slow, it is estimated that it is the first two or three launches, which can have a little surprise effect.

But when Lei Zhen saw that the rabbit was instigated by Sun Shangxiang, he tried to stretch out his hands, easily picked up the earthen cannon, and jumped three feet high on the ground in a big way, shocking all the villagers, Lei Zhen immediately changed his opinion just now, and with a wave of his hand, he also incorporated the rabbit into Luo Sancang's fire support group.

Among the other villagers who didn't know how to shoot and didn't know how to shoot, more than 50 strong ones were selected by Lei Zhen and handed them to Zhang Cheng, who trained these villagers in the simplest but practical close-range killing skills.

"Among cold weapons, the best thing to use is a spear! It is easy to stab, and when facing a team of bandits, it is more effective in repelling the horse pistol. Moreover, the narrow body of the gun can keep the enemy away from a few meters, and it can also allow those villagers who have never participated in actual combat, let alone kill anyone, to find a sense of security. ”

Lei Zhen pulled Zhang Cheng to a remote corner and told Zhang Cheng like this: "The time is so short, don't teach them what to block, what to parry, and what to dodge." It is enough for them to learn how to stab down with all their might when facing a target, to be the most effective way to kill the enemy, and how to raise their guns in the face of the onslaught of the horse team. ”

Zhang Cheng glanced back at the various weapons in the hands of those villagers, and replied in a low voice: "But in such a short time, where do you ask me to find more than fifty spears?" ”

"I've counted, there are eleven pitchforks among them, and this thing is itself a strengthened version of a spear, so what's the harm of having one more spear head? As for the forty or so spears that are still missing, they are surrounded by trees and bamboo, and you can lead them to make them themselves! ”

"You pick some sticks that are thick and straight enough, peel off the bark of the trees, and flatten them to make the barrel of the gun, and then go from house to house to look for them, collect all the scissors that women use for needlework, take them apart, and tie them to the barrel of the gun with a little trimming, isn't it a spear head that is sharp enough to pierce an iron sheet?" Facing Zhang Cheng's stunned gaze, Lei Zhen said: "If it really doesn't work, kitchen knives are always available in every family, right?" Remove the handle of the kitchen knife, and then attach the head of the knife to the barrel of the gun, so that some of them can practice long spears, and some of them can also practice big knives! ”

Seeing Zhang Cheng walk towards his spear and knife team with a look of understanding, and command them to set up a few grass targets in an open area called the training ground, the ghost asked, "Master, half of the members of this melee unit you picked are women. I think that once those women see blood, they are likely to be weak all over, and they are not suitable for close-quarters combat at all, and once someone loses control of their emotions on the battlefield, it is likely to make the morale of the entire fighting team plummet, and even trigger an irrepressible rout! ”

Listening to Ghost Cai's words, Lei Zhen shook his head gently, he narrowed his eyes, and after a long while, he said: "Ghost Cai, haven't you noticed, these villagers who were selected by me to join the fighting team, they are all husband and wife. Some people often say that fighting tiger brothers and father-son soldiers in battle, I just want to see what it will be like to go into battle as husband and wife soldiers. ”

What would a husband and wife soldier look like?

If faced with close combat, no matter how much of a rabble or scattered villager they are, no matter how much they are a rabble and how scattered they are, as long as they are still a man and don't want their women to be harmed, they will naturally stand at the forefront.

And when the women who stand behind and are protected, when they see their men and husbands fall under the swords and guns of the bandits one by one, they will either cry desperately and lose all fighting spirit, or they will go crazy on the spot and become the craziest, most fearless, and most hysterical dead soldiers!

This is a team that must go through the baptism of blood and death, and the number of people will be reduced to a certain number before it will burst out with the most terrifying combat effectiveness. And all the men in this team are destined to be abandoned pawns in the hands of Lei Zhen!

Thinking of this, the ghost couldn't help but shudder, he really couldn't imagine what Lei Zhen's arrangement would think and what kind of expressions they would show if this arrangement of Lei Zhen reached Ling Weicheng and Zhao Jun's ears again. But the ghost knew better that he could never come up with a better way to arouse the fighting spirit of these villagers in such a short period of time, so that they could fight to the death in the face of fierce bandits.

The doctor was teaching some of the women the simplest first aid techniques and began to lead them in preparing white cloths and herbs to stop the bleeding of the wounded, and once the fighting began, his first aid team was tasked with taking the wounded off the line of fire and transporting them to the designated place for first aid.

Lei Zhen's order to the doctor was: "I know that doctors take it as their duty to treat patients, but you remember to me that we are all **mortals, not immortals or saints, there is no need to pretend to be a big-tailed wolf." Once the fighting began and there were wounded, first our brothers were rescued, then the guerrillas under Zhao Jun, and finally the villagers. Also, pay attention to the amount of medicine stored in your first aid kit, and don't wait until you treat your brother to find that all the life-saving things have been consumed. ”

In order not to poison his compatriots, and the struggle with the power was finally framed, the doctor who could only escape from Shanghai, followed Lei Zhen for a long time, obviously close to the ink black, he listened to Lei Zhen's words and nodded again and again, and replied: "Don't worry, I just thought of this problem, the brothers' share I have already divided in advance, and it is definitely not a rabbit or an eagle!" ”

Following behind Lei Zhen, seeing that he was still righteous and awe-inspiring for the people's life, kneeling in front of Lei Zhen to ask for a desperate battle, the two ants on the ground who lowered their heads and carefully appreciated the fight. He saw that he was so engrossed, so obsessed that he challenged the moral limit, and openly asked the doctor to give up his duty to treat patients to a limited extent, and the ghost didn't hear a word at all!

God knows whether this village used to make a living by bombing mountains, or preparing to make firecrackers, or simply to provide ammunition for the 300-pound earthen cannon.

Except for some of these black powders that were taken out and provided to the earthen cannon, all the rest of the gunpowder was transferred to Zhao Dawen God for use. When Lei Zhen took the ghost to find the god of Zhao Dawen, the god of Zhao Dawen was in the middle of a pile of long or short, thick or thin bamboo tubes, leaning on a powder keg and frowning and thinking.

"This kind of black powder has a low detonation speed, poor thermal energy, weak impact, and the power is too small. Moreover, there are no metal projectiles, and even if they are filled in a bamboo tube, the killing radius is very limited. If my judgment is correct, this kind of bamboo tube mine is afraid that it can't even cover the fifteen-step range! Or...... Should I take some of my own explosives and mix them together to increase the kinetic energy generated by the explosion of these black powder?! ”

Listening to Zhao Dawen's muttering, Lei Zhen smiled, he stepped forward and patted Zhao Dawen's shoulder hard, and Zhao Dawen, who was engrossed in thinking hard, was caught off guard, and his whole body trembled fiercely, even if he had considerable respect for Lei Zhen, his gaze was still mixed with a little annoyance.

Facing the angry Zhao Dawen God, Lei Zhen didn't talk nonsense, he only said three words: "Follow me!" ”

With the god Zhao Dawen who was muttering in his mouth and holding a bamboo tube filled with gunpowder in his hand, and a ghost talent who humbly asked for advice, Lei Zhen walked to the door of a house. Seeing a little girl who was only ** years old looking at them cautiously, Lei Zhen raised a bright smile like a wolf grandmother coaxing Little Red Riding Hood, he reached out and gently stroked the top of the little girl's head, and smiled: "Little sister, can you lend me your pot?" ”

Looking at Lei Zhen's bright smile, the little girl nodded involuntarily, and Lei Zhen, who had the permission of the owner, walked into the house unceremoniously, picked up the big iron pot in the kitchen that was used for human food and pig food, and carried it to the corner where the little girl outside the house could not see, Lei Zhen put the iron pot upside down on the ground, and stepped on it fiercely in front of the ghost and Zhao Dawen. Just listened to the crisp sound of "bang", and the big iron pot that represented the purpose of "people for food and for the sky" was stepped into a few pieces.

Bent down and picked up a stone, smashed the iron pot completely, and saw that Zhao Dawen was still standing there stunned, Lei Zhen walked over and snatched the bamboo tube thunder in his hand, poured out the gunpowder and mixed it with some of the fragments of the iron pot at will, and grabbed a few small stones from the ground and filled them back into the bamboo tube together.

Raising the bamboo tube in his hand, which was mixed with stones and iron pot fragments and filled with a large amount of black powder, Lei Zhen asked Zhao Dawenshen, "What do you think of the power of this bamboo tube thunder now?" ”

"Calculated from the amount of medicine and capacity withstand pressure index of the filling, this bamboo tube thunder bamboo piece can effectively kill targets with a radius of three meters, and the stones you fill in the bamboo tube can kill targets within five meters. And those iron pot fragments should be able to cover ......" Speaking of this, Zhao Dawen's eyes lit up, "At least ten meters away!" ”

"Well, wait, we can also fill this bamboo tube mine with something else to increase its lethality."

In terms of making bombs, Zhao Dawen is of course much more professional than Lei Zhen, but when it comes to the lack of resources, using all kinds of things that can be seen everywhere in his hands to combine or mess around is definitely Lei Zhen's strength.

Under the stunned gaze of Zhao Dawen, Lei Zhen actually ran out again and borrowed a can of lard to come back. With a strange smile on his face, Lei Zhen quickly scooped out a few spoonfuls of lard that had solidified into a paste with a spoon, and then wrapped them tightly with a few leaves, and finally filled such a ball of lard wrapped into a dumpling-like bag into a bamboo tube.

Surprise, puzzlement, and various expressions flashed from Zhao Dawen's face, and finally turned into a deep admiration. Seeing that the ghost was still puzzled, Zhao Dawen said in a low voice: "The way to make solid incendiary bombs is to integrate raw rubber into gasoline, such a substance has high heat content and strong adhesion to the human body, and things like egg white and lard can also have the same effect." Did you see it, Brother Lei Zhen deliberately put the lard wrapped in leaves into the center of the bamboo tube, so that when the bamboo tube thunder exploded, the lard could be heated enough. In other words, even if you don't get hurt at close range, you will be burned by the lard that splashes out. According to my experience, if a person is injured by an explosion or is scratched by shrenel, as long as his will is strong enough, he can hold back and not moan, but no one can withstand this kind of burn, because there is a strong enough speed to be subjected to high temperature and re-metamorphosis liquid lard, which not only burns their skin, but also embeds it into their muscles! ”

"He is worthy of being a genius in the field of explosives, he really knows it at all!"

Lei Zhen casually patted off the dust on his hands and said indifferently: "Actually, if you have to look carefully, you can find quite a lot of resources that can be used in this village." It's not just the fragments of the iron pot, I think you should have noticed the village chief's house, although his wooden door is a little dilapidated, but it is full of three-inch-long iron nails, you pry all these things off and stuff them into your own bamboo tube mine, although the flight trajectory of the shrapnel is irregular, although the killing radius may be affected, but once it hits the person's body, it will cause the most terrible momentary stagnation! There is also the container where you make the bomb, the bamboo tube is easier to find, but as you said, the pressure resistance of this container is not high, and it is difficult to provide enough kinetic energy for the bomb. Before I entered the village, I saw that there was a red clay field in the east of the village that could make pottery, and we couldn't make iron thunder shells, so we could always find someone to beat some mud blanks and fire a batch of pottery thunder shells overnight, right? ”

(To be continued)
