Long Qian squatted on a small hillside to the north of the road, holding a telescope to observe. It was completely dark, and I couldn't really see anything through the binoculars. Feng Guozhu was beside him, and the half-human-tall weeds covered them both, and from time to time mosquitoes bited, and Feng Guozhu crackled and flapped.

Long Qian put away the binoculars, "Okay, bear with me." Listen to your soldiers, they do better than you do. Around them, there were more than forty officers and soldiers of the fourth company in ambush, and at this moment, Long Qian couldn't hear a single movement.

"I'm not afraid of knives and guns, I'm afraid of these mosquitoes and fleas, and I hate them to death. A bite for a long time couldn't be better......"

"Then you bite them out of breath." Long Qian made a rare joke. He was satisfied with the quality of the ambush troops, and there was Ye Yanbing's company lurking on the edge of the woods a little east on the opposite side, and he tried to find the flaw just now, but he didn't find it.

It's quiet, and it's pleasant to feel – if you ignore mosquito bites.

Tranquility used to be something that Long Qian longed for, the world in his memory was too noisy, people always did some stupid things, and on the way to pursue happiness, they always found that the days they once hated were happy.

"Will they be tricked?" Feng Guozhu stretched his neck and looked west, which was the direction of Zhengjiazhuang, but he couldn't see anything in the dark.

"Where do I know the way?" Long Qian muttered. At this moment, the first gunshots were heard from the east, followed by a rapid explosion.

"Hey, it's fighting!" Feng Guozhu stood up.

"When the news passes, they will move again, and it will take at least an hour and a half to get here, which is the fastest. You go and tell everyone that you can sleep, but the platoon leader should be on guard. Long Qian said as he lay down on his back, dragging a small grass and chewing it in his mouth. The wind blew in the night and I felt very comfortable.

The gunfire slowed down after a while, which was normal. The order was to alarm Bai Wei, the troops did not have many bullets, they could not withstand attrition, and everything had to be resolved after this battle.

About half an hour later, a squad leader of a company came from the south and reported that two people came out of Bai Wei Town, did not take the main road, and went towards Zhengjiazhuang.

"Well done. Stay vigilant. Long Qian is very satisfied with the progress now, everything is in the planning.

But then Long Qian realized that something was wrong, because the gunshots that had been thinned out in the direction of Bai Wei suddenly became urgent, and there was an explosion.

"What's going on?" Long Qian muttered to himself and called Li Sancai, "You ride a horse to see, what's going on?" ”

After five miles of back-and-forth, Li San took more than half an hour, "Commander, commander, the second and third companies have already attacked Zhuangzi!" ”

"What? Have you seen Wang Mingyuan and Feng Lun? Long Qian was taken aback.

"No," Li Sancai gasped, "The team has already entered, Bai Wei is on fire, it's a mess, and the two wounded numbers are seen outside the village, and the troops are all in!" ”

"Nonsense!" Long Qian's face changed greatly, "Guozhu, immediately gather your company, follow me to reinforce Bai Wei, and solve it as quickly as possible." After saying that, he ordered Li Sancai, "Hurry up and contact Chi Chunxian, let the cavalry team block the road, and never allow Bai Wei's rout to escape to Zhengjiazhuang and Chenjiaya." The rest of the direction doesn't matter yet. ”

After giving the order, Long Qian quickly left the hidden place with the fourth company and rushed towards Bai Wei.

The third company took the lead in breaking through the wall. The method is very primitive, two sharpshooters and a few soldiers with good marksmanship in the company blocked the selected breakthrough more than 100 meters south of Dongzhai Gate, this breakthrough was selected by Feng Lun, in addition to the basic conditions of the shallow wall of the trench, or the shooting blind spot of the walled gate. Feng Lun selected the assault team and personally led it, two hand-thrown bombs that had not been used on the battlefield since Maoyang Town were thrown into the wall, and with the explosion of the bombs, the commandos climbed the ladder and climbed the wall that was not too high! Very smooth, casualties were caused after the assault team entered Zhuangzi, the first to climb the wall of the village a squad leader surnamed Wang with two soldiers rushed towards the gate of the village, and encountered the Zhuang Ding brigade that rushed over to block the breakthrough, three brave soldiers were all killed in the fierce battle, but their bravery won time for the officers and soldiers of the three companies who entered the village later, and also scared Zhuang Ding, who was not very warlike. When Feng Lun entered the village, the breakthrough had been controlled by the three companies. The soldiers of the third company occupied the two houses opposite the breach, climbed on the roof, suppressed the attacking Zhuang Ding with rifle fire, repelled the first round of counterattack of the Zhuang Ding, killed at least seven Zhuang Ding, and caused four more casualties in the third company, one of whom was killed on the spot.

The platoon leader Ding Xiaofu panted and found Feng Lun, who was squatting in the corner to observe, and asked to take a platoon to take down the Dongzhai Gate!

At this time, Feng Lun made a correct decision, "Don't take the gate of the village, fight in the village!" He estimated that the second company was fighting fiercely, "It is easier to fight from the inside of the second company." You take your platoon to hold here. Be careful to hide yourself and don't take the initiative to attack. ”

The second row was constantly climbing over the wall to enter the Zhuangzi, Feng Lun found the second row leader, and led the second row towards the Zhuangzi.

Xiao Guanyu of Baiwei Town was jumping in a hurry at the Xizhai Gate at the moment. The thieves seem to be small in number, but they are extremely strong, they have climbed the wall into the Zhuangzi, Captain Zhuang Ding personally led people to fight back against the thieves who entered the village failed, three died, seven were injured, and had no choice but to retreat to the walled gate. Now more than half of the Zhuang Ding in Zhaimen are concentrated, but they do not have the courage to organize a second attack.

Xiao Guanyu's fat face was dripping with sweat, and he scolded Zhuang Ding in his mouth, but there was nothing he could do.

In the evening, only two of the five farmer soldiers who patrolled the village ran back, and one of them was wounded - he was shot in the right arm. These two Zhuang Ding were brought to Xiao Guanyu at the first time, but they seriously misled the owner of Xiao Zhuang who thought he knew the soldiers, and they reported Xiao Guanyu, "The thieves are all over the mountains, and there are thousands of people!" ”

This news frightened Xiao Guanyu.

The patrol system is the invention of Xiao Guanyu, since Zheng Jing reported that he was not destroyed and was very strong, Xiao Guanyu organized a patrol team, and three waves of patrols were sent every night to patrol the village. Tonight is the first wave, led by the deputy captain of the Zhuang Ding team, a son of the family who used to be a soldier in the Yizhou Green Battalion, but he didn't expect to really bump into the thief, it is said that he was shot in the face as soon as he saw it, and he couldn't die anymore.

The thieves are huge, and Xiao Guanyu's first thought is to ask Zhengjiazhuang for help. He sent his henchman Bai Zhonghai with a clever retinue to sneak out of Zhuangzi and go to Zhengjiazhuang for help. Then he ordered all the Zhuang Ding to go to the wall to resist.

The walled wall of Bai Wei is not only inferior to Zhengjiazhuang, but even inferior to Chenjiaya. The walled wall of Zhengjiazhuang is comparable to the city wall, the wall is very thick, and it can be easily walked on it, but the walled wall of Bai Wei is a wall, made of adobe, and only the platforms built every fifteen zhang similar to the enemy tower can place the defenders. Bai Wei's walled walls were ridiculed by Zhengjiazhuang Tian Shubang, who believed that the platforms used as enemy buildings were useless—fixed and inactive firepower points were extremely vulnerable to enemy attacks. He also solemnly suggested that Xiao Guanyu renovate the wall, but for various reasons, Xiao Guanyu did not raise money to repair the wall. He always thought in his heart that even if the thief committed the village, the target would not be himself.

Who would have thought that the thief would target Bai Wei, who was not as rich as Zhengjiazhuang at all?

"Owner, the thieves have broken the east gate and are coming this way!" Bad news after another, a running disheveled Zhuang Ding brought even more deadly news.

"Stick to the walled gate! Waiting for rescue! "Xiao Guanyu has been frightened by the six gods.

This decision buried the town of Baiwei.

By the time Long Qian led the Fourth Company to enter the already burning Bai Wei from a section of the broken wall, under the guidance of the Second Company, the Second Company and the Third Company had already surrounded the Xizhai Gate.

After a general understanding of the situation, Long Qian's tense heart relaxed, "There are captives, right?" ”

"Yes, there are more than a dozen Zhuang Ding in their hands, and the dogs have all thrown away their guns, pretending to be stupid and saying that they are the people." Feng Lun reported.

They were the people. Long Qian ordered the captives to be brought over.

"Do not be afraid." In the corner of a house, under the light of torches, more than a dozen men squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands, trembling with fear, "We are not bandits, we will not kill you." The Zhuangzi has been broken, and you have seen it. Now you choose one of you and go to your owner. Just say let him give the order to immediately stop the resistance and surrender! I guarantee the safety of the fathers and villagers in Baiwei Town. If you don't lay down your weapon and come out within a quarter of an hour, I'll set fire to Bai Wei and burn it!" ”

A fire has broken out on the north side of Xizhai Gate, and the fire is expanding.

"Who's going?" Long Qian stepped forward and dragged a man at the front, "It's you, say your name out loud, they won't shoot you." The man who was trembling in a pile turned around the corner, "Go!" Otherwise, I'll chop you up with a knife! Long Qian shook the Japanese-style war knife in his hand.

The man complied.

"Feng Lun, take your people back, hold the vested position, don't attack, and try to avoid casualties." Long Qian patted Feng Lun's shoulder, "Good job." ”

"Done." Feng Lun agreed, and returned to Dongzhai Gate along the original road with three companies and two platoons.

In less than a quarter of an hour, there was a commotion on the side of Xizhai Gate, "Don't shoot, let's surrender__"

After a fierce mental battle, Xiao Guanyu succumbed. Zhuang Ding, who was guarding the gate tower of Xizhai and nearby, came out one after another and threw his rifle in the open space.

"Mingyuan, I'll leave it to you here, and quickly organize someone to put out the fire. Remind the brothers not to violate military discipline and never kill innocents indiscriminately, you know? Long Qian's face did not open Bai Wei's joy, "I'm worried that Zhengjiazhuang's reinforcements are already on the way, and Yanbing and Lushan alone can't stop it, in case they retreat back to Zhengjiazhuang, we will be in big trouble__Guozhu, there is nothing to do with you here, immediately run back to the original position." ”

Feng Guozhu's fourth company ran five miles wildly, but he didn't catch the battle, but he immediately understood Long Qian's worries, didn't say anything, and after rectifying the fourth company, he headed towards the wall, of course they would not climb over the wall again.

"It's enough to keep me in a platoon." Wang Mingyuan suddenly realized that his and Feng Lun's impromptu decision might have been a serious mistake.

"No, the second company is all left. It's not settling down here. Don't be soft, and if you resist, don't kill. ”

At that moment, gunshots rang out from the west, which soon became so intense that they could not be counted, followed by two explosions. Long Qian's face changed suddenly, "Oops, there's a fire over there." ”
