Chapter 35: Attack on the Three Crossings
At the time, Sandaokou Wharf. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Three large ships leaned against the pier, waiting in line to be unloaded. This is the goods of Chen Yuanwai, a wealthy merchant in Beijing, which are all specialties from the south, porcelain from Jingdezhen, pen inkstone from Huzhou Mansion, silk from Hangzhou Mansion and Yangyi gadgets from Guangzhou, etc., are very precious.
In addition to helping customers transport goods from the water, they can also help escort the goods to the customer's doorstep after going ashore, known as a one-stop service. Although the cost is a lot more, these days, some customers want to feel at ease and worry-free.
There were about seventy or eighty coolies on the wharf carrying goods. However, these are not the members of the Cao Gang, they are just hard-working people who eat under the Cao Gang. The real Cao Gang members do not move goods, and most of them are responsible for security and supervision.
"Smack!" A crisp whipping sounded, and a fierce Cao Gang overseer smacked a ragged coolie fiercely, scolding, "Hurry up, don't delay Lao Tzu's kung fu." ā
"Smack!" another whipping sounded, but this time it was not pumped, but it hit the feet of a middle-aged coolie in his forties, who was carrying a heavy wooden box, and lost his balance and fell to the ground in shock. A young man with a whip sat on top of a pile of goods, laughed happily when he saw this, and pointed at him with a whip while laughing and said, "Zhang Laosan, I heard that your daughter is very beautiful, why don't you marry me?" Uncle, I will definitely let you eat and drink spicy food." ā
The middle-aged coolie glanced at him angrily, but he could only get up honestly, carry the box and continue walking.
The Sandaokou wharf is divided into two parts, the west side is the unloading dock by the water, and the east side is the temporary storage yard for storing goods, and there are several rows of bungalows next to the storage yard, which is where the Cao gang on duty eats and sleeps.
Qin Shuhuai first took the leather dog to investigate carefully, and found that there were about 20 people on the dock who were supervising and guarding the workers, and there were even more people on the other side of the yard, at least more than 40 people. The dock is less than 300 meters away from the yard, and no matter which side of the attack is attacked, the opposing side can support each other. So if you fight hard, I'm afraid the loss will be great.
He didn't have much experience in this kind of thing, so Qin Shuhuai asked if there was a good way to do it.
The leather dog thought for a moment and said, "The yard is heavily guarded, I'm afraid there are valuables in it that need to be protected." Therefore, you can attack the dock first, and the yard is afraid that the goods will be lost, so you will not dare to fully support. Wait until you destroy the people on the dock, and then attack the yard, which is as easy as a hand. ā
Qin Shuhuai nodded, expressing his approval of the dog's idea. But he thought of a more perfect way. That is, the soldiers were divided into three routes, twenty people all the way, led by themselves, and attacked head-on from the pier. Now that the hall master of the Cao Gang Dafeng Hall is dead, and the deputy hall master is at Qingwu Wharf, it is expected that those people are not his opponents. As long as they are defeated, they will inevitably run in the direction of the yard, so the other way can be led by the leather dog, ambush between the dock and the yard, cut off their retreat, and carry out encirclement. The last road was led by Zhang Qing, the head of the B word, and was ambushed near the yard, and once it was found that the yard was going to send people to reinforce the dock, he bluffed and feinted, forcing the yard not to dare to reinforce easily. It would be much easier to wait until the people on the dock were annihilated, and then attack the yard.
After telling Pigou and Zhang Qing about their ideas, both of them agreed.
The three groups of people quickly entered the predetermined position, just waiting for Qin Shuhuai to give an order.
Dark clouds obscured the moonlight, and the night breeze blew, and a hint of coolness penetrated through the neck.
The moon is dark and the wind is high and the night kills!
Qin Shuhuai took a deep breath, slowly pulled out the Dragon Sword, and roared, "Kill!"
Twenty members of the Jiazi Fan Gang suddenly rose up in response, and rushed to the dock with weapons in their hands and roaring!
The people of the Cao Gang on the dock obviously did not expect the Jianghe Gang to attack at this time, and they all panicked! A stall-leader in the lead whistled violently, and only then did everyone react and gather together one after another. The three large ships on the dock also immediately removed their cables and left the dock directly to prevent the cargo on board from being hijacked. It can be seen that the Cao Gang has made a full plan.
The two groups of men quickly fought together. As Qin Shuhuai expected, the dock was almost full of martial artists who had built the foundation realm, and these people were completely vulnerable in front of Qin Shuhuai. Qin Shuhuai took the lead and rushed into the opponent's formation, a set of seventy-two soul-chasing and life-stealing swords overflowed with cold light, and quickly killed the two Cao Gangs, and completely disrupted the opponent's formation. The other party's stall leader made a wrong decision, and led seven or eight people to surround Qin Shuhuai, intending to kill him first, and then capture the thief first, but Qin Shuhuai's own cultivation was not inferior to theirs, and he also had such superb exercises as the Yi Jin Jing and the Snow Treading Without a Trace, how could he kill him? Qin Shuhuai alone restrained the strength of the opponent's ten people, and the remaining ten people on the other side had to deal with twenty people, and the result could be imagined! In just two or three minutes, three or four of the Cao Gang's side died, and there were five or six people lying on the ground rolling and moaning.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the stall head whistled again, and then led people to retreat to the yard immediately!
The shouting of killing at the dock quickly alarmed the Cao Gang in the yard only three hundred meters away, and to everyone's surprise, the yard sent people over to support it very decisively. And there were quite a few people coming, at least twenty of them!
Qin Shuhuai frowned, thinking to himself, could it be that there were more people in the Cao Gang over there than expected? Or is there a master guarding there?
Besides, Zhang Qing, who was in charge of the feint attack on the storage yard, saw that the storage yard sent more than 20 people to reinforce the dock, so he immediately led his subordinates to feint on the storage yard. Unexpectedly, the other party seemed to be prepared, and under the leadership of a man in a green robe, he quickly launched a counterattack. The man in the green robe was holding a palm-wide knife, and the knife was fast and ruthless, and under the flying of the big knife, two brothers soon became the souls of the sword. Zhang Qing gasped, isn't this person the deputy hall master of Dafeng Hall?
Zhang Qing hurriedly asked his subordinates to retreat, anyway, he was a feint, as long as he achieved his goal. Then he ordered someone to fire a signal flare into the air, indicating that the situation on this side of the yard had changed.
The leather dog led the people to ambush in the middle of the dock and the yard, and saw reinforcements from the yard from a distance. One of his men asked him if he was blocking it, and the dog firmly rejected the suggestion. Seeing the other side's reinforcements running past his eyes, and gathering with those remnants, he still didn't give the order.
Qin Shuhuai saw that the other party suddenly became more than thirty people, and found that the leather dog did not lead anyone to intercept him, so he couldn't help frowning. But now was not the time to hesitate, he roared and entered the battle circle again. However, this time the opponent was superior in numbers, no matter how strong Qin Shuhuai was, it was a little difficult to rush back and forth in the center of more than 30 people, and he was almost hit by the sword several times.
At this moment, there were shouts of killing in front of him, and the leather dog rushed over with people. It turned out that he was waiting for Qin Shuhuai to rush first, and after the opponent's formation was messed up, he would lead people to rush again, and under two consecutive impacts, he would ensure that the enemy's position was completely disrupted!
This method is extremely professional, it is already similar to the tactics of marching and fighting, Qin Shuhuai can't help but wonder if Pigou has been mixed in the army before?
Sure enough, under the impact of the leather dog, more than 30 people of the Cao Gang immediately collapsed and became a pot of porridge. Qin Shuhuai took the opportunity to kill one or two people who looked like leaders, and finally completely crushed the morale of the other party.
Under the attack from both sides, in less than five minutes, the Cao Gang killed more than a dozen people, seriously injured more than a dozen people, and the rest no longer had the heart to resist, and surrendered with their weapons still on the ground.
Leaving a few people to tie up the Cao Gang who surrendered, Qin Shuhuai continued to lead people to the yard.
At this time, in the yard, there were several brothers of the Jianghe Gang lying in all directions, and they all seemed to have lost their breath, Qin Shuhuai couldn't help but be surprised, didn't he say that he had a feint, how did he get it like this?
