"Qiao Xietong, I'll say it all now, everything is arranged by Niu Chuanshan, I am only responsible for disassembling the four cannons, and then disguising them as damaged cannons, sending them out for repair, after transporting them out, someone sent by Niu Chuanshan will take the artillery away and hide it, the gunners are all selected from the water camp, probably to bombard Baifu, I only know this, now I can only let you dispose of it!"

Qiao Yu asked a few more words, Deng Hua answered truthfully, it seems that he does know this, the top priority is to find the artillery as soon as possible to avoid casualties, although the possibility of bombarding Baifu is very large, but it is difficult to guarantee that it will not bombard other places, his own family is big, according to the factory area to shoot a few guns his own loss is not small, Qiao Yu immediately arranged for people to patrol around.

At this time, there was already a gunshot on the dock, Han Yong had already fought with the water battalion, but this firefight saw the gap, the new army was well-armed and shot accurately, and under the leadership of some veterans, the water camp was quickly pressed over, and the guns on the water camp side were backward, the firing range was also close, and there was no machine gun to suppress the formation, and it was quickly beaten to the point that it couldn't raise its head.

The commander of the water defense battalion is named Li Jiuru, a typical old-school soldier, who is the most loyal to the Qing Dynasty, but he has long seen Qiao Yu making waves in Yucheng, and he has been very excited since he got Niu Chuanshan's letter, and he also complained in his heart that Niu Chuanshan was too indecisive, if he had started a few months earlier surnamed Qiao, he would not have developed at this time, and the old guy immediately began to prepare to attack Qiao Yu's troops.

However, the old guy also knew that Qiao Yu's subordinates were numerous and well-equipped, which was not something he could deal with, but Niu Chuanshan repeatedly kept the right to be able to eliminate Qiao Yu and the others as soon as possible, and by then the dragons were leaderless, so it was naturally easy to deal with, so the old guy was completely relieved, and now the two armies began to shoot at each other across the street, Li Jiuru felt a huge pressure, especially what he hated was the opponent's machine gun, which was a large piece when swept away, and the people on his side were like wheat from one to the other, and they couldn't break through the other party's blockade at all.

The officers under his command couldn't stand it anymore: "My lord, we can't watch our brothers die in vain, let's go and pull up the cannons and bombard them with shelling, otherwise we won't be able to stop those machine guns at all!" ”

Li Jiuru is not stupid as an old man, and suddenly he was glaring: "Idiot, you have artillery, and the other party also has it, and there are more than us, and it is more powerful than us, they are afraid of hurting the innocent so they didn't use it, let's fire the cannon now, aren't you afraid that the other party will also bombard us with cannons, tell the brothers to resist it, and it will be launched on the side of the button platform immediately, as long as you hold on, you will be added to the official rank." ”

The old guy was talking when he felt a swish on his head, and the top was broken in an instant, and a few locks of gray hair fell, and this shot just grazed Li Jiuru's head, and suddenly lost most of the three souls and seven spirits, and immediately ran to the back of the battle to supervise the battle, and no longer dared to move forward.

At this time, the two sides have exchanged fire for dozens of minutes, but there is no sign of what Niu Chuanshan promised, Li Jiuru's heart is churning, don't fail again, at this time the old man remembered Qiao Yu's record, so far people have not suffered a loss, but Niu Chuanshan is always unlucky, is there still a play this time?

Just as I was thinking about it, suddenly a loud bang rang out in the city, it was artillery! Li Jiuru was overjoyed immediately, this cannon was well hit, it was best to kill Qiao Yu's gang with one shot, at this moment, there were two cannon shots in a row, and the direction fell in the direction of the Chamber of Commerce, Li Jiuru shouted loudly: "Brothers, listen, the Chamber of Commerce has been bombed, the surname Qiao is dead, hurry up, the Qiao family's property is yours!" ”

The soldiers of the water defense battalion also came to their senses when they heard this, and the emotional adults still hid such a hand, this is called catching the thief and capturing the king first, and taking down Qiao Yu, aren't these people scattered as birds and beasts? Therefore, they rushed to the opposite side with shouts and shouts, and they were still greeted by merciless machine-gun fire, falling in pieces.

At this moment, Li Jiuru also realized that something was wrong, why did he fire so many cannons, why didn't he continue to fire cannons! He doesn't know doesn't mean that others don't know, after Qiao Yu controlled the artillery team, he sent people around, and the intelligence personnel in the city were also used, and after some searching, he found two field cannons, more than fifty shells, and five gunners in the warehouse of a rice store, and the angle was exactly in the direction of Baifu.

However, the other two mountain cannons could not be found, Qiao Yu was also very anxious, but at this time there was good news, it turned out that Niu Chuanshan knew that the Daotai Yamen was not safe when the two sides fought, so he asked his subordinates to protect him and fled to the water camp to save his surname, who knew that as soon as he came out of the back door, he was blocked by Qiao Zhen and the Daotai Lord, and the Daotai Lord was captured. Caught Master Huang from the toilet.

After asking for it, I learned that the two powerful field cannons were hidden in the rice shop, aiming at Baifu, and the other two mountain cannons were hidden in the coffin shop, aiming at the Chamber of Commerce, which is also where Qiao Yu often appears, according to Master Huang's estimation, Qiao Yu is most likely to appear in these two places if he wants to command the battle, and the factory area is a little remote, so it is so arranged.

Immediately, Qiao Zhen led people to surround the coffin, but it was still a little late, so that the other party fired three shots, these three shots were relatively accurate, one shot in the main hall of the Chamber of Commerce, one shot in the backyard, one shot in the courtyard next to it, it can be said that if there is no preparation, the cannon in the main hall is enough to kill and injure countless people, because there will be many big businessmen gathered there to meet and hold a meeting at night.

Niu Chuanshan caught it, the four artillery pieces were also found, and the chaos on the market was also controlled, and the last thing left was the water camp, Qiao Yu commanded the army and surrounded the water camp station, Li Jiu also knew that he was powerless to return to the sky at this time, so he immediately committed suicide by drinking bullets, making his soldiers surrender, and a big chaos disappeared.

"Second brother, your subordinates are really going to have an oblique this time! A total of about a thousand soldiers of the water battalion surrendered, just selected the best ones from them, and added them, and the artillery team was also handed over to you, and those who were still lacking were immediately recruited, and the number was the same as the first oblique! ”

How could Qiao Zhen not be happy about the expansion of his strength, but Qiao Zhen also had a trace of worry: "Third child, this incident is too big, and there are no longer a few people who know what happened, the big businessmen in Yucheng, plus those foreigners in the concession, it is difficult to guarantee that the truth will not be passed out, and how will we deal with the imperial court when the time comes?" ”

Qiao Yu knew that the second brother's worries were reasonable, but the current situation of the Qing court was not able to control it at all, according to the speed of the Qing court's troop transfer, it would never be possible to reach Yucheng in a month, and it was necessary to investigate the truth of the matter, as long as it was delayed for a period of time, the Baolu movement would completely break out, and then the Qing court would not fight himself, but he would still beat him!

"Second brother, don't worry, but we can use Niu Chuanshan again, and put all the responsibility on the chaotic party that has infiltrated the Baolu Comrade Association, I think with the confusion of the Qing court, will they understand for a while, even if they understand, we have the support of the local forces in Dongchuan, and after the expansion of the army, there will be a town of troops, what else is there to fear!"

Qiao Zhen also laughed: "Third child, Niu Chuanshan is going to bombard you with a cannon, can you still do something?" ”

"Unless he doesn't want his head, he'll do what we tell him honestly!"
