In the past two days, the preparations for the attack of the Datang Club have been fully made, and they have been operating in an orderly manner as soon as the order is given.

2:30 p.m

A platoon of infantry with muskets on their shoulders walked in front, and behind was a wagon of artillery, four 9-pounder and 12-pounder guns disassembled and loaded into wagons that followed the infantry platoon.

At the end were the cavalry and baggage, all the cavalry dismounted and walked, each horse carrying four 2.5-meter-long logs, as well as three-meter-long ladders, tents and other things, and the long queue stretched for two or three kilometers.

The march went well along the way, and at about five o'clock the vanguard musketeers were attacked sporadically by the Madison bands, and after being repulsed, there was no further response.

It's twilight

The infantry platoon successfully arrived at the river beach about 1 kilometer away from Hewan Village, and immediately began to dig a ditch, which made the opponent confused.

River Bay Village

An aura-faced Alexander Madison stood in the wall, flanked by Sheriff John, Jack Starr the "Barbarian", Buck Freeman "The Bulldog" and Marbury Jones the "One-Eyed Dragon" as they watched the busy figures in the distance silent.

The afternoon had just suffered a crushing defeat, which had taken a toll on the morale of the bandits.

"Guys, I think we should launch a cavalry counterattack while they are not firmly established, which may be able to disrupt the position of the Orientals and make the brethren vent their evil anger."

"John, don't think about those good things, those Orientals are not fools. You don't see the musketeers always in line, and I bet their chambers are full of bullets and can fire a volley as long as they lay their guns flat. No one can charge against a dense hail of bullets, damn bastard...... Haven't we suffered enough? ”

"I can see that whoever attacks first will suffer."

"That's right, now it's the turn of the Orientals to taste the bitterness, as long as our people are firmly guarding the wall, I don't believe they can get in?"

"Chief, what do you think?"

Alexander Madison gritted his teeth when he heard the questions of the people around him, and his eyes erupted with irrepressible anger.

He said in a deep voice; "Let the brethren eat and rest early, and tonight I personally went out and led men to their camp, trying to gain a foothold under my nose, it was a pipe dream."

The back-to-back crushing defeats had cost him prestige and doubts, and Alexander Madison was eager to prove it with a victory;

He is still the strongman who firmly controls the River of the Americas, and no one can shake his throne, not even the Orientals.

"Pit Bull" Buck Freeman said with a bloodthirsty glint in his eyes licking his parched lips; "It's a good idea, I like to cut through the soft belly of my prey with a sharp blade, cut off their hands and feet, and finish the bloody slaughter with the screams of fear from the Orientals, it will be a great experience."

"Quietly touch the past and fight at night...... Seems like a good idea, and even if we can't get it, we're firmly on the defensive edge, and I'm in favor of it. The tall "barbarian" Jack Starr's eyes lit up, and he also approved of this plan from the bottom of his heart.

"Then do it." Alexander Madison took one last look at the busy Orientals in the distance, turned and went down the wooden ladder, beckoning the others by the way; "Guys, go to my place for a drink first, find a strong little girl to quench the fire, we are going to bring a big surprise to the Oriental people tonight, it is worth celebrating."

"Wow...... I have no reason to refuse. ”

"Hahaha...... Seconded. ”

Oblivious to the afternoon's defeat, the white bandits descended from the wall and followed Alexander Madison deeper into the village.

Although Hewan Village is not big, the women here are strong enough, the wine is strong enough, and the food is enough, it is like a holy place for white gold diggers, and it is also an out-and-out gold cave.

These days

The Madison gang attacked confidently in the morning and returned in the afternoon, and the blow was particularly great today, and they had lost more than 50 people in the three days before and after.

After all, there are less than 240 white bandits gathered in Hewan Village, and many bandits who have been invited sporadically have the intention of retreating and no longer want to get involved in this troubled water.

But the problem is that it is easy to get in and difficult to get out, since the old Kahn family left with a dozen or so, Alexander Madison was angry when he found out, and said decisively; "Only corpses can leave Riverbend Village".

Therefore, before the defeat, there is only one way to go to the dark.

After dark

In Hewan Village, the wine and meat are fragrant, and the white bandits are everywhere shouting and screaming, drunkenly chasing women, and a scene of demons dancing wildly.

As long as the white bandits volunteered to participate in the war, they ate and drank freely in the village of Riverbend, and all of them were paid for by the bandit leader Alexander Madison, provided that they did not flee without permission, and when they sold their lives, they had to sell their lives.

At nightfall, about ten o'clock

Alexander Madison, who was sleeping soundly, was woken up by a jolt, and he opened his drunken hazy eyes and asked; "What's Tate...... Is it past 3 o'clock at night? ”

"No, it's early 22."

"Damn bastard, don't I know what I'm talking about, and you're going to call me out at 3:00 to make a big difference?"

"Boss, I think you should go and see for yourself, what kind of fame are the Orientals doing? I'm afraid the plans for the night raid had to be canceled. ”

"What?"

Alexander Madison immediately woke up from his hangover, looked at Tate with a worried face in front of him, and found that he was not joking at all, so he stood up and said; "Let's go...... Go up to the wall and have a look. ”

Walled wall

Alexander Madison looked out, stunned by the sight in front of him, and couldn't help but curse "Fat Oil ......"

Several bonfires were lit outside Hewan Village, and lanterns were faintly lit in the nearby forest, and the gunmen of the Tang Dynasty set up camp 1 kilometer away, neatly erected tents.

This is not the problem, the biggest problem is at the entrance of Hewan Village, which is about 400 meters away from the establishment of several circular breastwalls, forming a semicircle to block the gate of the village.

Behind these French-style wooden breastwalls, which are about 1.5 meters high, are guarded by musketeers from the Datang Society, about fifty or sixty people, who are on duty here in shifts.

About seventy or eighty meters in front of the breastwork wall, there is a burning bonfire, which reflects the camp of Hewan Village in the night, especially at the gate of the village, where there is nothing to hide, so how can it be sneak attacked?

The current situation is;

The white guards of the Hewan Village camp could shoot muskets at the defensive breastwork and the targets behind it, and relying on the cover of the defensive breastwork, the Datang gunners could also shoot at the white guards.

Although it can't cause serious damage, Hewan Village is obviously blocked and can't get out anymore, what can be done now?
