It is said that the control is somewhat inappropriate, and the ruined city at that time did not have a single soldier at all, and it was easy to occupy the walls of the ruined city, which were in disrepair and were already a dilapidated scene.

If it weren't for the buildings made of stone, I'm afraid it would have collapsed long ago, in order to defend this place well, so the soldiers were busy all night, that is, to renovate the entire city wall, it can be said that the workload is very large, and Zhang Xiaodong has no bottom in his heart.

Seeing that it would not work like this, Zhang Xiaodong began to discuss with the commanders and fighters: "Deputy battalion commander, it is absolutely impossible to go on like this, the battle line is too long, and our combatants are seriously insufficient!" ”

The deputy battalion commander who heard Zhang Xiaodong's words was obviously a big man from the north, and he also said when he knew the urgency of the matter: "Battalion commander! We have a serious problem and we have to discuss countermeasures immediately, and there is no time for us. ”

The staff officer was the youngest, but this guy had a bright head, and suggested to the two battalion commanders: "This city has a total of four gates. ”

Everyone understands this truth, if a quadrilateral has five corners, it is impossible to do anything at all, so the battalion commander Zhang Xiaodong and the deputy battalion commander Wu Minghua did not speak, and waited for the staff officer Wei Jun to finish his proposal.

Wei Jun looked at everyone and continued: "We first blocked the two city gates on the four city walls, and then sealed the stairs that came up, so look here." ”

Looking at the simple map on the table, a battle line that was originally very long was implemented by the Wei army's suggestion, and it can be said that only half of the city wall remains, which can be defended by more than 300 people.

Zhang Xiaodong, who knew the result, quickly gave an order to the three company commanders under him: "The 1st Company will block these two city gates for me, and they must be blocked, and there must be no opening!" ”

Looking at the two city gates pointed by Zhang Xiaodong, Wen Hua, the commander of the 1st Company, nodded, and said to Zhang Xiaodong, the battalion commander: "Guarantee to complete the task!" ”

Looking at the back of Wenhua in the distance, Zhang Xiaodong continued to speak: "The 2nd Company blocked these two ladders for me, this task is more arduous!" You're going to kill me. ”

Looking at the commander of the 2nd company with blazing eyes, knowing that it was time for him to accept the task, Liu Xuliang, the commander of the 2nd company, saluted Zhang Xiaodong, Wu Minghua, and Wei Jun, and said loudly: "Never live up to the expectations of the leadership!" ”

"Good! If necessary, you can mobilize 3 companies of soldiers to help! It can be said that the safety of hundreds of our lives is in your hands. ”

Knowing how difficult this task is, so for them, Zhang Xiaodong can be said to spare no effort to support, seeing that Liu Xuliang, the commander of the 2nd Company, has also left, there are only 3 companies left here that have not yet assigned the task.

The commander of the 3rd company looks white and clean, but the military quality is very good, this guy used to be a member of the special forces, and he has a good set of small-scale operations, especially the company he leads now.

It can be said that they are all the king of soldiers, and leaving him is mainly to recuperate, and there must be a force to resist the attacks of those with ulterior motives after dawn, so Zhang Xiaodong has no nonsense.

said directly to the point: "Comrade Zhou Jianhui, your task is to set up a cross-fire network for me at these points. ”

Pointing to the points on the map, the meaning is obvious, the first batch of candidates for defense tomorrow is their company, Zhou Jianhui knew the importance of this operation, so he said without hesitation: "I will go to arrange the defense now, please rest assured leader!" ”

In this temporary headquarters, there are now three people left, Zhang Xiaodong, Wu Minghua and Wei Jun, everyone looks at each other, knowing the crisis they are facing this time, so now is not the time to rest.

So Zhang Xiaodong said to the deputy battalion commander and staff officer: "Let's go and check it!" Otherwise, I wouldn't be at ease! ”

As soon as Wu Minghua and Wei Jun heard Zhang Xiaodong's words, they also stood up one after another, and followed Zhang Xiaodong to watch the progress of everyone's defensive position.

Although the permanent population here is very small, only some homeless people will come to this dangerous place to beg for a living, and if you think about it, you can understand that it is difficult to guarantee the safety of your life in a place where you don't care.

Therefore, the people who live here are generally some outlaws, and of course, there are also big conglomerates like the Wei family caravan, which will have a fixed foothold here, and someone will have to take care of it here all year round.

It's like a country will have an embassy in other countries, but there are most of those horse thieves and bandits, so it can be said that this is their paradise, and they don't have to worry about any forces, and they don't have to worry about the government's purge.

Don't look at this as an abandoned city, there are all the facilities in it, what taverns and teahouses, what brothels and what brothels, what pawnshops and rice shops, etc., as long as there are people who need them, it can be said that they are all the same.

Early in the morning, everyone opened the door and started business, and in a small teahouse, I heard everyone talking about last night's events, and a bearded man said to the person who started it: "Monkey! Did you see it clearly? ”

Hearing the boss's questioning, a man touched his head and said, "Boss, how could you not see clearly, now that the two city gates have been sealed, this can still be fake!" ”

Bandit Peng, who knew that the matter was a big deal, looked at the expressions of several brothers and said: "I think this matter is a bit tricky, and it is imperative to withdraw with the brothers as soon as possible." ”

This guy is a tyrant here, he was originally a bandit leader, and he has been active on the border between the Han and Xianbei tribes, and he can be said to be very alert, as for what his name is, everyone doesn't remember.

Ten years ago, at the moment when this guy was a bandit, everyone gave him this nickname, and he has been with him for so many years of robbery, and when he heard the boss's words, the rest had no objections.

has been following Peng bandits for a long time, and everyone knows that this guy has a special ability, that is, he is very accurate in predicting danger, and he has never made a mistake, as long as Peng Boss says that there is danger there, everyone will leave together.

Everyone had to obey him, but the monkey said, "Boss, are we too hasty, although those guys occupy the city wall, they don't do anything in the city!" ”

This guy has been here for a long time, so the stable life still makes him a little careful, the current monkey wants money and money, and there are a lot of women, as long as you have money and food.

Even if it's a beautiful girl, you'll be eye-catching, don't mention the taste, it's so refreshing! Still reminiscing about this guy, when he was galloping on the beautiful woman with skin like snow last night, he was slapped on the back of the head by Bandit Peng.

All of a sudden, the monkey's head was hit a little bit, and it could be said that Venus was popping up in front of him, and he didn't even think about who hit him, so he blurted out the curse words: "That Wang Balamb beat me, stand up and see if we don't knock you to death!" ”

When the rest of the bandits heard this, they looked at the boss Peng and the bandit didn't care, and they all laughed, but they didn't expect this guy's courage to be fat, and he dared to scold the boss, it was really lawless.

Knowing that the monkey must have been remembered by the boss in the future, everyone shook their heads, sent a self-begging expression, and followed the footsteps of the Peng bandit out, leaving the monkey there thinking about what had just happened.

However, he still knew in his heart the danger factor here, and when he saw that the boss had left, he didn't dare to stay here, so he patted his head and shouted: "Boss! Wait for me! ”

These are just the corners of the abandoned city, and now there is talk of those soldiers guarding the city walls everywhere, and it was soon found that they had moved, and for Zhang Xiaodong's battalion, the most important thing now is the lack of people.

So a notice was quickly posted at the city gate, and it was a job posting, as long as you were between the ages of eighteen and twenty-five, and were strong and healthy, you could sign up.

The treatment can be said to be very generous, three taels of silver per person per month, which is not a small amount, if it is true and does not deceive people, this treatment can feed a family of six, and it makes people's hearts hot when they think about it.

It's just that Zhang Xiaodong, who has just arrived, doesn't know that although he is treated generously, it can be said that he has reached the limit of being wronged, but there are very few residents here, and basically bandits and robbers account for most of them.

There are also some caravans, everyone is just passing by in a hurry, so there are a lot of strange here, that is, no one has signed up for the job, and it looks like the requirements are not high and there is a lot of silver.

Many bandits and horse thieves have caught the attention of Zhang Xiaodong's army, and seeing that no one has signed up for his recruitment, Zhang Xiaodong is a little anxious, as long as it is not the spies of those nomads, anyone dares to accept Zhang Xiaodong now.

Even if it is those spies, think about their chief's ability, if they want to make any moths, I'm afraid it's unlikely, it seems that the situation is not optimistic, and you still have to rely on your own strength!

When Zhang Xiaodong was sighing, a sudden report broke the silence: "Those horse thieves are here!" ”

Hearing the news, Zhang Xiaodong's eyes immediately widened, he didn't expect that the big ones were actually these horse thieves, he thought that he would teach those nomads a painful lesson, and this business was actually cut off halfway.

Zhang Xiaodong, who gritted his teeth, gave an order into the walkie-talkie: "Everyone is ready to fight, whether they are horse thieves or bandits, as long as they dare to do something unfavorable to us, they will beat me hard!" ”

The soldiers of Zhang Xiaodong's battalion were even more vigilant when they got the news, and all the bullets were geared up, ready to start the first battle to dominate the grassland, Zhang Xiaodong looked at the map and asked: "How many enemies are there?" ”

Wei Jun picked up the binoculars, looked at the crowd under the city wall, roughly counted the number of people, and said to the battalion commander Zhang Xiaodong: "I just observed, at least there are more than 3,000 people!" ”

Zhang Yi was still taken aback by hearing this number, he never expected that there were so many horse thieves in this abandoned city, of course, it was easy to deal with these guys with big knives and spears.

It's just that Zhang Xiaodong didn't want to waste all the bullets on these horse thieves, "Are they all horse thieves?" ”

Is this group of rabble looking for death, in fact, they have all entered a misunderstanding, these horse thieves looked at Zhang Xiaodong and their clothes were very hot, and looking at the silver that came out, it made these people pay attention.

Of course, for the weapons of Zhang Xiaodong's team, these horse thieves don't know the power, otherwise they wouldn't have gone to the front and wanted to charge with their brothers.

However, in the eyes of Wei Jun and Wu Minghua, this is no different from looking for death, and I am still scolding the fool in front of me in my heart, but I wish I met it like this, send it to the door and let you slaughter!

"All of them are wearing the clothes of ordinary people, looking at the fierce momentum, there is absolutely no mistake!" Knowing that this time it can't be wrong, it is estimated that those nomads are still on the way, so they must deal with it now.

The monkey followed his boss all the way to the gate of the city, and only here did he have a staircase to the city wall, this guy didn't want to come, but he felt too unrighteous.

That's why he followed the army with his machete, and came to the city wall step by step, for him, his own life is very important, as long as the situation in front is not right, he is ready to flash.

Du Tao, the boss of the monkeys, looked at the sparse guards on the city wall, no matter how he looked at it, it was too unusual, and the closer he got to the city wall, the more weird he felt, as if someone else was waiting for him to send it to the door.

This made Du Tao touch his forehead uncontrollably, now the situation is clear, it seems that people have already prepared, if he is still so reckless and rushed forward, he will definitely not see the sun tomorrow.

Du Tao turned his head to look at his brothers, all of them were in good spirits, without a little worry and fear, and secretly scolded a fool in his heart, for the glorious profession of being a horse thief.

Everyone ties their heads to the waistband of their trousers, just like a classic saying of ours, people die and birds rise to the sky, and they do not die for thousands of years! If you unfortunately die in battle, you will be a good man again 18 years later.

Seeing that there were more and more horse thieves and bandits under the city wall, Zhang Xiaodong turned into the walkie-talkie and gave an order to Zhou Jianhui, the commander of the 3rd Company: "Fire!" ”

"Yes! Battalion commander! ”

Hearing the battalion commander's order, Zhou Jianhui stood on the position and shouted: "Give me a hard beating!" ”

Now is not the time for a woman's kindness, if these guys are smart, as long as they shoot a salvo in 3 consecutive rounds, it is estimated that the guys in front will fall, and the ones in the back will probably run away!

Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaodong's mood is a lot better, but his own personnel are too small, otherwise if he captures these guys, won't he have his own subordinates? As soon as the gunshots rang out, there were ten thousand taels of gold.

The dense gunshots like firecrackers suddenly let Du Tao know that his feelings were not wrong, and then he turned his head and saw the miserable appearance of the guys in front of him, all of them were blurred with flesh and blood, red and white, which can be said to be miserable.

Even Du Tao, who had seen a big scene, was trembling in his legs and stomach at this time, and the monkey who saw that the situation was not good, turned around and ran away before the boss could speak, and the speed was really not covered.

No wonder everyone else calls him a monkey, it's really like his name! Fortunately, the monkey's position is not too far ahead, so the first time the girl ran away, it can be said that as long as this speed is maintained, the danger will definitely get farther and farther away.

It's just that in the process of running, looking back at it made him feel dead, but he didn't expect the usually clever boss to stand in place at this time, looking at the direction of the city wall, and he didn't run towards the back at all, and shouted at the boss monkey: "Boss, run!" ”
