Chapter 103: Attacking the Green Snake Village
The two of them talked about some important things again, and then they parted ways and went back to the original tea shop. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Tao An had a hot chat with the owner of Zhu Zhuang there, and agreed to Zhu Zhuang as the leader of the Heroes Association, leading everyone to eliminate the bandits of the Green Snake Village who robbed the house.
Li Yingyuan knew in his heart that this was a sure result, that is, before everyone set off, or when he first received the hero's post, this ending was already doomed.
Speaking of which, the matter of Green Snake Village is not a big deal, after all, they have few people, and they have not done much to really harm people.
This time, these Zhuangzi around the West Lake made such a big move for a few little thieves, posted a heroic post, and invited Wang Jiuyang and Lin Jiujian to testify as core disciples of famous and decent families, and what they really wanted was to unite the major villages around the West Lake and Zhuangzi.
In this way, no matter what happens in the future, they can go in and out together, so as to avoid becoming a plate of loose sand and let people break each other.
In other words, what this hero really wants to do is not to deal with the Green Snake Village, but the alliance itself, just because this alliance itself will be taboo by the government, so he will talk about it in the name of dealing with the bandits of the Green Snake Village.
Li Yingyuan thinks that this matter is a good thing, now the world is becoming more and more chaotic, and even Dinghai, which has always been peaceful, has been affected by the war, and there is no one who has some understanding of this chaotic situation who does not tremble.
Li Yingyuan even suspected that behind the unscrupulous attack on the various villages around the West Lake, there were also some reasons why some big Zhuangzi deliberately contributed to the troubles behind it, and the biggest suspicion was probably the person who posted the hero himself.
No matter how bad the organization is, it is much stronger than not organized, Li Yingyuan originally had this idea, and wanted to follow Tao An to see how this kind of thing is done.
However, when he arrived at Zhujiazhuang, seeing that the daughter and nephew of the owner of Zhu Zhuang lacked a minimum respect for human life, Zhu Chaofeng Zhu Zhuang was bent on learning from Cao Cao, only to realize that the complexity of this matter was beyond his imagination.
At this time, there was nothing to say, so I hid among the people in Shuangpu Village to watch the play. In just two or three days, forty or fifty large-scale villages around the West Lake formed an alliance at least formally, forming an alliance with a total number of at least tens of thousands of people.
The atmosphere of the hero's meeting was very good, everyone discussed how to deal with the Green Snake Village, how to seek benefits for the big guys, and they looked happy, and there was no bloody plot such as the contest to elect the leader of the alliance or someone to make trouble.
Some people want to form an alliance, some people want to enter the alliance, anyway, they are holding together for warmth, and some things that really involve interests will only be exchanged secretly behind the scenes, and will not be taken out to spoil everyone's fun.
In the end, everyone decided to jointly send troops to the Green Snake Village, and agreed on how many strong men and ships and weapons and food each family would provide, and the hero meeting ended successfully.
"Brother Li, what do you think will happen to this hero?" On the way back, Tao An specially asked Li Yingyuan.
"Good, definitely. It's just that I looked at Zhu Zhuang and the owner is not a fuel-efficient lamp, is it really good to let him take the lead?" Li Yingyuan said.
"He's not a fuel-efficient lamp, isn't it better, and if he's a fuel-efficient lamp, I'm afraid that's troublesome." Tao An said.
"That's right. Li Yingyuan thought about it and couldn't help but nodded. If it weren't for Zhu Chaofeng as the leader, but Tao An as the leader of the alliance, wouldn't it be better, I'm afraid it's half a catty.
Li Yingyuan still remembers Tao An's worried appearance when he first saw the four-legged snake, just thinking about it, he knows that this Tao An is also a person who has seen the world, and as the middle-level leader of the Ming Sect, he has led the people around the West Lake to resist the government for half his life, how could he be frightened by a few reptiles.
Since he went to Dinghai, Li Yingyuan found it difficult to believe the people around him, whether it was Xie Xun or Tao An, he was on the list of vigilance, including the senior brother Wang Jiuyang he had just met, and it seemed that he had lost his previous sense of closeness, which was really sighing.
After Li Yingyuan returned to Shuangpu Village, he practiced diligently, in order to quickly improve the level of Mixed Yuan Fist and Golden Cicada Fist.
Now, he can also do almost ten punches to perform the heart of the Mixed Yuan Fist, and as for the Golden Cicada Fist, it is at least twenty punches once.
In addition, Li Yingyuan also asked the firecracker craftsman to continue to make gunpowder, the more the better. Now that the world is becoming more and more chaotic, the common people are buying fewer firecrackers, and the business is light, so the firecracker craftsmen have brought a few brothers and nephews to specialize in the production of gunpowder.
The large-scale production of gunpowder is strictly forbidden by the government, but now the government's ability to control has dropped significantly, and it has turned a blind eye to many things, and the gunpowder that Li Yingyuan wants to produce is only a few hundred catties, and it has not caused the interference of the government.
Fifteen days after the end of the Heroes Meeting, the villages finally sent troops to the Green Snake Village as agreed to defeat the water bandits.
Thirty men from Shuangpu Village alone, divided into seven boats, went to the designated place to meet people from other villages, and then set off to Qingsnake Village.
Among these thirty people, the leader is naturally the five musketeers led by Tao An, as well as two archers, and the rest are armed with harpoons and knives and guns.
As the financier of the guns and ammunition, Li Yingyuan was naturally courteous to the villagers of Shuangpu Village.
I don't know where the coalition got it, and there are two small cannons, in Li Yingyuan's opinion, this cannon has been produced for some years, and it is difficult to say when it will be blown up, but the coalition forces treat it as a treasure and cherish it very much.
In this way, hundreds of fishing boats carrying five or six hundred boats pressed towards the Green Snake Village, and began to fire cannons from afar.
The Green Snake Village is very pitiful, there is no artillery, only two old-fashioned firearms and five bows and arrows, which are frequently fired here.
The coalition forces did not cooperate, and when they arrived, a few brave fishermen rushed to the shore and shouted and cursed the bandits in the Green Snake Village with various cold weapons.
"That's it. Li Yingyuan sighed and followed Tao An and them ashore.
The village of Green Snake Village is a brick and wood structure, and it is the kind where bricks are used very little and wood is used a lot, and its wall is a very simple fence.
Those bandits, either standing behind the wall, or holding something high, stretched out their upper bodies against the wall, and hit the wall with their weapons to make all kinds of noise, and did not forget to insult this side.
The men of Shuangpu Village were the first to go ashore, and after they landed, six musketeers were in front of them to suppress the fire, and next to each musketeer stood a sword and shield man with a shield in his left hand and a knife in his right hand, specially protecting these precious musketeers.
Each of them still had three or four iron bumps pinned to their waists, that is, hand grenades, if it weren't for the fact that each of these grenades weighed three catties, Li Yingyuan would have liked to double the number of reception sections each person carried.
There were a few of them in front, and the men in the back were like ants moving, taking out all kinds of belongings from the boat little by little and moving them to the shore.
The first few villagers to go ashore must have been the bravest, but they didn't know what to do after they came ashore.
"You are both firearms and swords, and you are so well equipped. A villager said enviously.
"Of course, we just happened to meet a Kaizi who was willing to pay for these, so naturally we had to buy a better weapon. Li Yingyuan answered first, and Tao An rubbed his nose beside him and didn't speak.
Li Yingyuan spent more than three hundred taels of silver to equip and train the villagers during this time, and the conscience of heaven and earth, when the Green Snake Village asked Shuangpu Village for property, it was only fifty taels of silver, and there was still a lot of room for negotiation in the middle.
The villagers of Shuangpu Village didn't understand what medicine was buried in Li Yingyuan's gourd, so they could only laugh.
These six spears plus Li Yingyuan's pistol, a total of seven firearms, simply suppressed the long-range weapons of the entire Green Snake Village.
These villagers also did not have the habit of shooting uniformly, so they would shoot casually when they aimed at people, and for a time gunshots rang out everywhere, and smoke frequently came out.
"I've got a few skirmishers. Li Yingyuan said to himself silently.
The villagers in the back carried down a lot of iron-covered wooden planks from the boat, took them to the front and drove them into the ground, and the musketeers could cover most of their bodies by standing behind these wooden planks, which gave them good protection and could shoot with peace of mind.
The fire guns used in the Green Snake Village are very old, and the bows and crossbows used are not real military weapons, but the bows and crossbows used by ordinary hunters for hunting.
Compared with the pirates that Li Yingyuan had seen before, these West Lake bandits were several times worse than their combat experience and combat will, so it took a long time to feel that it was not good to fight so badly, so they slowly opened the walled wall and rushed forward, trying to get close and use cold weapons to solve this nasty outpost position.
