People with a little pharmacological common sense will know that Tian Qi is a flavor medicinal material, and Panax notoginseng is also known as Tian Qi, and Li Shizhen, a famous pharmacist in the Ming Dynasty, called it "gold does not change". It is a pearl in the Chinese herbal medicine, the Qing Dynasty pharmaceutical work "Compendium of Materia Medica" recorded: "ginseng is the first to replenish qi, notoginseng is the first to nourish blood, the taste is the same and the function is also equal, so it is called ginseng notoginseng, which is the most precious in traditional Chinese medicine."

However, Tian Qi in Zhangwu County is not a medicinal material, he is a personal name, and he is the captain of the 300 Imperial Cooperative Army in the barracks in the west of Zhangwu County. Tian Qi is not from Shanxi, he was originally a broken settlement in Hebei, after the Japanese army broke through Hebei, Tian Qi, who was struggling to make a living, was recruited into the troops of the Imperial Army. With 300 brothers under his hands, endless money in his pockets, and women around him every day, Tian Qi's life is quite comfortable now.

was transferred to Zhangwu County, Tian Qi was not happy, but this was an order from the Japanese, he was just a small imperial army commander, so naturally he did not dare to disobey. After coming to Shanxi, Tian Qi realized that he was wrong, Shanxi people are rich, and the women here are more beautiful than Hebei women, Tian Qi is already a little happy and reluctant to go back to Hebei. When the sky was dark, Tian Qicai, who had slept at Widow Zhang's house for the night, came out of Widow Zhang's house on Front Street with two orderlies and staggered back to the barracks in the west of the city.

Thinking of Widow Zhang's white and tender body, Tian Qi couldn't help but feel weak and reluctant to leave, but the Japanese stationed in the county town had an order, whether it was a Japanese soldier or an imperial army, they must have morning exercises every day, otherwise they would be severely punished. The commander of the Japanese was a young man named Shigemoto, who was a smiling tiger, and Tian Qi knew it from the first time he saw him, so he didn't want to lose his food because he was a widow.

The sentry at the gate of the barracks saw that his captain was back, and hurriedly opened the camp gate to let people in, Tian Qi took out the cigarettes in his pocket and threw them to the two gate guards, and then took his orderlies and staggered towards his room. Although Tian Qi is ruthless, he is very good to the people under him, and he usually has some good things, and most of them are shared with his brothers, so the Imperial Association Army under Tian Qi can be regarded as supporting him.

"Let's all go back, remember to remind me to go to the Su family tomorrow to urge donations, the day of paying the brothers is coming" The drunken Tian Qi waved his hand, let his two orderlies go back to sleep, and he walked towards the flower bed on the west side of the residence. Shigeben is a person who likes vassal elegance, although he said that he was stationed in the barracks at the city gate with his Japanese soldiers, but this flower bed in the barracks in the west of the city was ordered by him to be preserved. There was a lot of friction between the Imperial Association Army and the Japanese, and Tian Qi didn't dare to do anything to Chongben Nan, but he buried the Japanese in private, such as urinating in the flower bed at night.

"Comfortable" After soaking in pee, Tian Qi was comfortable, Tian Qi, who had put on his pants, turned his head and wanted to go back to his residence to sleep, but he heard a "plop" sound in his ears, and a choking ash pillar had already engulfed Tian Qi. "Poof" Tian Qi, who was holding his pants in one hand, was choked by the dust and coughed, and before he could shout, a short knife had already stabbed from the ash pillar, and the sharp blade hit Tian Qi's throat, and then a black shadow came out of the dust and threw Tian Qi to the ground.

"Poof" "Poof" "Poof" The black shadow lying on Tian Qi's body covered his mouth with one hand, and with the other hand, he pulled out the short knife inserted in Tian Qi's neck and stabbed him several times towards the vital point, until Tian Qi couldn't die anymore, and the black shadow stopped. The dust gradually dissipated, and a large black hole had appeared in the flower bed where there was originally a piece of grass buds and flowers, and the man in black kept turning up from the black hole, and the black shadow that appeared first was already half-squatting under the eaves in front of the flower bed.

Tang Lei, who was holding a short knife in his mouth, relied on the shoulders of his brothers, climbed the edge of the hole with both hands, and still turned over the flower bed, at this time there were more than 20 mercenaries who came out of the big hole, most of them were scattered under the eaves in front of the flower bed. With the short knife in his hand, Tang Lei walked to the eaves before he stopped, the flower bed was in the backyard of the barracks, and the backyard was inhabited by people close to Tian Qi, but most of the imperial troops lived in the barracks in the front yard.

"Let's start" Seeing that there were almost more than half of the people coming out of the tunnel, Tang Lei waved his hand and led his first and second teams straight to the front yard, their task was to raid the Imperial Association Army in the front yard and the gate of the barracks, and the Imperial Association Army in the backyard of the barracks had other mercenaries to deal with. Zhangwu County in the dawn was quiet, Tang Lei advanced the time to go out of the tunnel by ten minutes, at this time Adam, who was hidden outside the city, had not yet launched a feint, Tang Lei wanted to use the time difference to destroy the imperial army in the barracks first, so that they would have less resistance to seize the county seat.

The two red-hot heads at the gate of the camp provided directions for the mercenaries armed with steel crossbows, and the two gatekeepers who gathered together to smoke did not know that they had become the target of others. 20 meters, this is already the closest distance that the mercenaries have infiltrated, and if the four mercenaries holding steel crossbows move further, they are likely to be discovered by the two gates. The mercenaries sent by Tang Lei to shoot the gate guard are the scouts in his team, these scouts who have been carefully trained by Yu Dazhi are good at using cold weapons, and the distance of 20 meters is not to mention shooting people, even if they go to shoot a chicken, they will not shoot empty.

"Puff", "Puff", "Puff", "Puff" "Puff" crossbow arrows buckled, and four black lights still flew out, nailing the two guys who were smoking together directly to the door by the crossbow arrows that came quickly, one shot to the chest, one shot to the head, and the same was true for the parts of the arrows in both of them. "Boom" "Boom" As soon as the mercenaries cleared the gate of the barracks, an explosion sounded at the city gate, and it was not necessary to guess that it was Adam's First Army that had begun a feint.

The sound of the "hands-on" explosion resounded throughout the county, and Tang Lei no longer had to scruple about revealing his figure, so he immediately withdrew his short knife and picked up the submachine gun, and led the mercenaries into the barracks in the front yard. The gunfire that burst out of the pitch-black barracks was like fireworks, and the sleeping soldiers of the Imperial Allied Army were beaten into blood gourds by the sudden gunfire, and the blood flowed like a river on the Chase pavement, and the room was full of blood.

Thomson, who has a very fast rate of fire, is indeed a sharp weapon for killing people and goods, each barracks of the Imperial Allied Army is more than 20 square meters, and there are about 30 soldiers living in it, under Thomson's strafing shot, there is no possibility of surviving at all, but the mercenaries who have emptied the magazine still draw a short knife to replenish the knife for each corpse. Mending the corpse with a knife, this is the practice of the mercenary army, only if it is sure that the Imperial Association army in the front yard has become a dead man, the first and second groups led by Tang Lei can leave the barracks to raid the Japanese army at the city gate.

"Let's go" Tang Lei's side just ended, Zhang Dongkui with the third and fourth groups of mercenaries also rushed over from the backyard, after two parties, Tang Lei rushed out of the barracks with a submachine gun on the head, and marched towards the city gate according to the route they had deduced in advance. Zhang Dongkui's two groups of mercenaries disappeared into the streets and alleys of Zhangwu County like mercury, they were the covering force, when Tang Lei launched an attack on the Japanese troops stationed at the city gate, they had to search the entire county to avoid the Japanese puppet army attacking them from behind when the two sides were fighting fiercely.

There were still a hundred meters away from the city gate, Tang Lei and the others had already felt the boiling heat, Adam's feint attack was a little cautious, Tang Lei only heard the explosion of Bazooka and the sound of Japanese machine gun fire from time to time, but the Browning heavy machine gun did not fire a single shot. "This rabbit cub also knows how to play tricks" Tang Lei shrank on the corner of the street and listened to the sound of gunfire, then he put his mind at ease, Adam's main target was the heavy fire of the Japanese machine guns, as long as the Japanese dared to shoot with machine guns, he would use Bazooka to return fire, the Japanese machine guns on the city wall have become less and less, and you can hear them shooting.

"Bazooka, don't save ammunition, shoot all our rockets" The Bazooka group that followed the tail of the team was called to the front by Tang Lei, it was time to give a message to the Japanese troops on the city wall and Adam outside the city. "Boom" "Boom" "Boom" The rockets that came from behind made the Japanese soldiers on the city wall very embarrassed, and the snipers lying on the roof also opened fire one after another, and the Japanese soldiers who dared to expose their sight wailed and fell to the ground, and the blood mist sprayed from time to time made the city wall show a strange red.

"Boom" sounded, Adam shot a rocket from outside the city hit the city gate, the heavy wooden city gate was blown to pieces, the heavy man on the city wall was stunned, at the moment when the city gate was blown up, the firepower outside the city increased greatly, at least no less than 30 heavy machine guns fired at the city wall, the Japanese troops on the city wall under the dense rain of bullets could not raise their heads at all, let alone stand up and shoot back. The rockets fired at the city wall in succession blew up the last two machine-gun positions of the Japanese army into the air, and there were now only more than 100 soldiers armed with rifles left in Shigemoto's hands, and the situation was already precarious.

There was no way out and no way out, and the blackened heavy man wiped his command knife, surrounded by a few helpless subordinates. "The Japanese soldiers on the city wall, listen, as long as you lay down your arms and surrender, we guarantee that you will return to Japan alive, otherwise we will attack with all our might" A glasses beside Tang Lei held an iron horn and hid at the foot of a house and shouted to the Japanese soldiers on the city wall, the glasses can speak Japanese, it was Zhao Zhi who sent Tang Lei's team to help interrogate the Japanese prisoners, and it happened to be used by Tang Lei.

"Prepare for submachine guns, don't want a single prisoner, kill them all" There were already Japanese soldiers who secretly escaped from the city wall, Tang Lei knew that it was only a matter of time before those Japanese soldiers surrendered, but according to the practice of mercenary troops, Tang Lei did not plan to leave prisoners. With a dense burst of gunfire and Shigeben Nan stabbed his command knife into his abdomen, the city gate destroyed by the rocket was cleared, and the assembled soldiers of the First Legion lined up and began to enter the city, so far, Zhangwu County was recaptured by Zhao Zhi.
