Yang Peng suffered a big loss last time. Now that he has a flintlock gun, he wants to avenge the last blood feud. Yang Peng plans to take more people to Qianjin Village in Yingzhou. "I don't see the need anymore!" Zhang Xiang immediately objected: "Although there are fewer people in the second class, the remaining seven are all good guys. If we add sand to them, it will probably be counterproductive."
"Okay then!" Yang Peng felt that what Zhang Xiang said made sense: "Damn it, I'm so worried now that there are so many people and so few guns." Zhang Xiang said with a smile: "Speaking of crossbows, this time besides being You broke six crossbows and smashed a machine crossbow, and we seized thirty-eight spears and a machine crossbow. The arrows are no longer good, they just have enough cost, and they can't get in or out."
"Brother, isn't this right? You killed more than forty Khitan people, and the number of arrows has not decreased. Aren't you satisfied?" Yang Peng then said seriously: "Brother, have you noticed? I I have carefully looked at the Khitans who were killed, and almost all of them appeared in the final hand-to-hand combat. In other words, during the shooting process, both sides basically wasted their bows and arrows. Do you know what this means?"
"Of course it means that the brothers are not calm enough." Zhang Xiang nodded: "As far as archery skills are concerned, we are almost the same as the Khitans, so we don't suffer from shooting. If we can calm down and the brothers are more mature, we can In that situation where we have absolute advantage, in the exchange of fire between the two sides, we should capture half of the enemy. If that were to happen, the result would be completely different!"
"Brother is right. The focus of training in the future is to learn the lessons from this time." Yang Peng said solemnly: "I watched from the opposite side for a while. Our four crossbows were almost unable to suppress them. The opponent's two machine crossbows. We were condescending at the time. This is the gap, and we need to pay enough attention to it!" "Don't worry about thinking about big things. In the next training, with the experience and lessons of these battles, I It will be arranged." Zhang Xiang waved his hand: "After this fierce battle, I believe that the brothers will mature. You only need to consider how to make good use of them, and you don't have to worry about the rest."
After the two brothers had a long talk on a snowy night and set the tone for the future development of the Song Dynasty anti-corruption team, Yang Peng's attention had already turned elsewhere. The Khitan army came with a "play hard to get" at Jiemo Ridge, and then followed him, using a latent method to give Yang Peng a "pretend to be crazy". Then he used the veterans in Khitan to create a "Li Dai Tao Zang". Its real purpose is to lure the snake out of its hole!
Unfortunately, the Khitan people were so dense that they were ambushed by Zhang Xiang and others. They stole the chicken but lost the rice, and finally fled in confusion. Looking back now, although it was a bit of hindsight, Yang Peng felt that he couldn't look at it that way. The Khitan people are cunning and cunning and must not be taken lightly. In my own opinion, Zhang Xiang and the others looked down on the Khitans and always felt that the Khitans were stupid pigs, which almost made Yang Peng fall into the trap.
Although a conspiracy of the Khitan people was broken this time, the Khitan people will definitely not be able to give up if their plan fails, and they don't know what kind of evil moths they can create. "Okay, Khitan dog, I admit that you are treacherous enough!" Yang Peng squatted on a stool alone, looking at a few broken maps on the table, and kept muttering: "You fucking Khitan dog, how dare you steal my money?" My lair! Let’s play the art of war with me! What is Yang Peng saying? The enemy is stationed and I am harassing you!"
Yang Peng felt that he had caught something, but he felt very vague. "The enemy is stationed while we are harassing" is easy to say, but how to disturb is a big problem. "Hahaha!" Yang Peng laughed as he thought of his success: "You gave me a way to lure the snake out of the hole, okay, I will give you a trick of 'shoe-tickling'!" After being tricked by the Khitans several times in a row, More than 20 brothers were killed and injured, and they almost fell into an irreversible situation. After Yang Peng handed over the training task to Zhang Xiang, he began to lick his own wounds, always thinking about giving it to the Khitans.
Yang Peng felt: Under the current circumstances, the New Year has just ended, and the smoke of the war has not yet cleared, the Khitan people would never have thought that they would take action so soon! "Shi Liancheng, tell Zhan Jinguo to come to my place!" Yang Peng hit his left palm with his right fist and finally made up his mind! In less than three minutes, Zhan Jinguo came running: "Brother, what do you want from me?"
Yang Peng pretended to stare at the map and said without raising his head: "Take a few brothers to Qianjinzhai New District to see how the situation is there. In addition, there are too many sick and wounded brothers in the previous two classes. We need After some rest, I want to see what kind of bears you guys are. How do you like it? Do you dare to go?" "Okay!" Zhan Jinguo turned around and left. "Wait, do you know what you are going to do, just run out in such a panic?" Yang Peng then raised his head, stared at Zhan Jinguo and said, "I asked you to conduct reconnaissance, not to stir up a hornet's nest. Take two people with you and go back quickly. If you mess up again this time, then you have to figure it out yourself. Get lost!"
After Zhan Jinguo left, Yang Peng began to pick up the available people: 17 people in the first class, 9 people in the communications class were intact, 7 people in the second class were not injured, and 10 people in the third class were not injured, a total of 43 people. . I dare not use any of the soldiers I have recruited now, because this group of people has not seen blood yet, and I am afraid that they will suddenly lose control. It is more reliable to use the previous group of soldiers, because this time they are going deep behind enemy lines, and Yang Peng does not dare to take risks.
Three days later, Zhan Jin brought back relevant information: "There are two leading guys in the Khitan Yamen Branch: Ye Qi Youzhi, the head of Baihu, and Xi Benlang of Dutou, plus a foreman from the Song Dynasty. There are 25 Khitan soldiers in total. There are 12 people in Pu Wenxiao's nursing home. There is a crossbow at the gate of the yamen, which is usually guarded by four Khitan people; the two nursing homes are mainly responsible for checking people coming in and out. There is a crossbow on the watchtower on the top of the third house, which is responsible for Monitor the internal security of the entire Yamen."
Similar to what we learned last time, the situation did not change significantly. Yang Peng immediately held a combat meeting. After briefly briefing the situation, Yang Peng directly issued the combat order: "Brothers, the Khitan dogs dare to knock on the door, and they need to be taught a lesson to let them know that this is the land of the Song Dynasty. Now I order: the second squad and the third squad There are no injured brothers in the squad, and the communications squad immediately went out to the front line of Xintun. Cheng Shijie was appointed as the commander-in-chief to monitor the guy from the Hundred Houses Team, Yeqikoma. If he dares to come out, we will hit him head-on on the way."
"Zhang Xiang stayed at Xiangzhuang, the base camp, and took care of the seriously injured and our various workshops. Zhan Jinguo led a group of brothers with flintlock rifles and followed me to Qianjinzhai New District, preparing to raid the Khitan government officials. Request Everyone brings hand crossbows. We won’t bring machine crossbows this time. Now that we have flintlock muskets, those machine crossbows are of little use. We set out tonight, so let’s split up and prepare to go.”
Returning to the old place, nothing has changed in Qianjinzhai New District. What has changed is Yang Peng and the others, because he is full of murderous intent. Zhan Jinguo followed closely behind him and could feel the cold breath of death. Following the pre-reconnaissance route, Zhan Jinguo led the team in a large circle and entered from the southeast corner of Qianjinzhai New District at around three o'clock in the afternoon. Because the Khitan nobles' houses are being built here for the Khitan Iron Mine, and they are only half-finished at the moment. Because of the Chinese New Year, those who worked on construction had gone back for the holidays, so the site was deserted.
The brothers stayed in these half-baked houses, which were not suitable for action in broad daylight. However, Yang Peng and Zhan Jinguo were not idle. They dressed in casual clothes and started wandering around the entire Qianjinzhai New District with hidden crossbows. The last time he came here, Yang Peng didn't show up on the street and ended up getting lost. If Zhao Jinxi hadn't saved his life at the critical moment, the consequences would have been really hard to predict.
Qianjinzhai New Area, according to the Khitan people's plan, should have ten main streets in the east-west, north-south direction. The Khitan people did not learn Chinese well, so they named them "Several Ways". Qianjinzhai New Area naturally has one road, two roads, and even ten roads. This is all fucking nonsense, can it be called a street if it is blocked?
Of course, Qianjinzhai New District doesn’t have that many connections at present, but it only starts from the Khitan Yamen and gradually radiates southward. At the intersection of Yong'an Street, there is a place called Yong'an Terrace. It connects a southeast-oriented street and is divided into two parts. The northwest section near the Khitan Yamen is called Pingkangli, and the southeast section is called Xinyang Street. The Khitan Yamen is in the central area, and this Xinyang Street happens to be connected to the village area under construction.
Yang Peng concentrated the future battle area in the southeast of Qianjin Village because this was where the Khitan nobles lived. Even if a few were accidentally injured, there were not many good people among the Khitan people and they deserved their misfortune. After walking around with Zhan Jinguo, we slowly came to the Yong'an Terrace area and saw the Khitan Yamen from a distance. Yang Peng arrived here a year ago and did not carefully examine the surrounding terrain. Looking from a distance today, we can see that the Khitan Yamen belongs to an independent area, surrounded by small alleys and separated from other buildings. It looks similar to the fire escapes currently reserved.
Diagonally across from the Khitan Yamen, there is a large building that is half built. Like the village group, there is not a single worker now. By asking passers-by, Yang Peng found out that it was a place where nobles watched plays. "Come on, let's go over there and have a look!" Yang Peng ordered in a low voice, turned around and got into the small alley. Ten minutes later, the two men finally entered the construction site. Then we climbed to the top along the scaffolding and had a panoramic view of the Khitan Yamen opposite.
"Jin Guo, go back now and bring the brothers here in batches so that everyone can see the environment here and know the way. Don't run around and lose people when the time comes." After Zhan Jin Guo left. , Yang Peng took a closer look around the Khitan Yamen, and began to plan the next action plan in his mind.
Yang Peng was in a position where he could shoot a flintlock rifle into the Khitan Yamen. But there are buildings inside, and the crossbows have no lethality. Apart from causing panic among the Khitan people, they have no big effect. However, if the flintlock gun is used here to control the attack and can accurately penetrate into the gate fortifications, the four Khitans inside can be killed and the two crossbows will be rendered useless.
If you want to completely paralyze the Khitan yamen, you must attack inside and eradicate all Ye Qi Youzhi, Xi Benlang and lackey Pu Wenxiao. Creating a short-term vacuum of government officials will make the Khitan people busy for a while. However, there are three difficulties in achieving this:
First of all, we must destroy the crossbows among the Khitan and others, so that they cannot use their firepower to support the Khitan government officials in every corner. Secondly, open the passage at the entrance of the Yamen to create conditions for attacking the enemies inside. The main problem is the crossbow inside the door fortification. The third problem is that we are outnumbered, because there are 25 Khitan soldiers, plus 12 people from Pu Wenxiao Nursing Home, which together is twice the number of Yang Peng's team.
Yang Peng looked at the layout inside the yamen and considered possible action plans. As his eyes swept to the northeast corner, Yang Peng suddenly remembered that it was at that place that he was discovered by the Khitan's crossbow on duty last time. He was soon chased by a group of Khitan people and ran all over the street.
He desperately mobilized his brain cells and carefully recalled everything that happened that night, as well as his escape route. Yang Peng began to return to the gate of the Yamen, and then moved along the route of the Khitan pursuit, and finally returned to the northeast corner, which was the starting point of Yang Peng's escape.
Thirty meters away, the Khitan people rushed out of the gate. If they wanted to turn into the alley in the northeast corner, they had to go through a short detour of about thirty meters away from the Grand Theater.
"Well, this is the only place that can be used!" Yang Peng muttered, his eyes returned to the gate of the Yamen, and then moved to the left, where was the "Ke Laixian" where Yang Peng had stayed. The inn is also the closest place to the Yamen Gate.
At this moment, a relatively safe action plan began to form in Yang Peng's mind. The sky has gradually darkened, and the first group of team members and the machine gun squad led by Zhan Jinguo, a total of nine people, have arrived on the first floor of the Noble Theater. "Zhan Jin Guo, Yin Mingde, you two are coming with me!" Yang Peng arranged the team members in a dark corner, then led the two of them to climb to the top of the Noble Theater and said: "Jin Guo, look, on the left side of the Yamen The first building is a brothel. Next to it is the Ke Laixian Inn. It is only a hundred meters away from the gate of the Yamen, which is about thirty feet. There are still nine team members left. There is no need for you to bring them to me. Next We have to act separately."
Zhan Jinguo looked at the survey of the terrain, and Yang Peng said to Yin Mingde: "Have you looked at the watchtower inside the Yamen? The two machine crossbows you used your flintlock guns to shoot down have two main tasks. That is to use The flintlock gun is for me to suppress the crossbow in the watchtower. The second is to use the flintlock gun to keep an eye on the 30 meters below the street corner. Once the Khitan people show up here, give me a hard beating!"
After receiving Yang Peng's order, Yin Mingde hurried downstairs to find his other two assistants. Because their flintlock muskets need to be deployed immediately, and the flintlock muskets and ammunition boxes must be in place immediately. When it gets dark, nothing can be seen. Carrying out small tricks under the eyes of the enemy, using lanterns and torches is not the way to go.
"Do you see clearly?" Yang Peng saw Zhan Jinguo put down the flintlock gun in his hand, and then asked: "Do you remember the route in and out?" Zhan Jinguo nodded and said: "The terrain of that place is very simple, and the distance is The west gate is only a few hundred meters away, so retreat is not a problem. I took people from the southeast corner to the southwest corner, and then arrived at the Ke Laixian Inn, which took about an hour. Brother, you mean to let me attack the Yamen directly door?"
"You are not allowed to directly attack the gate of the Yamen!" Yang Peng waved his hand and said: "You and the remaining nine people must arrive at the west side of the Ke Laixian Inn on time after nightfall and hide. Once a fight breaks out here, the Khitan soldiers may They will send reinforcements, so don't worry about it. Your mission is, once the Khitan reinforcements are dispatched, use your fastest actions to destroy the crossbow position at the gate of the Yamen."
"Then what?" Zhan Jinguo heard this inexplicably: "I should just watch, the same as last time?" Yang Peng shook his head and said: "After you destroy the enemy's crossbow position, quickly take out the enemy's crossbow and arrow box Move away and continue to hide in the dark place opposite the yamen gate. As long as reinforcements come out, you should ignore them. You should know their total strength, right? When you feel that there are no people in the police station, you will bring people with you. Rush in, do you understand? What I want is the heads of Ye Yuzhi, Xi Benlang and Pu Wenxiao, can you do it?"
Only then did Zhan Jinguo realize that he had occupied the entire Yamen, so he shouted in a low voice: "Don't worry, brother, I promise to complete the mission!" "What I just said was just my own inference. What should be done specifically at that time? You have to be flexible!" Yang Peng gave his final instructions: "You will have to adapt to local conditions and adapt to circumstances. That's what a frontline commander must do. Go ahead, I hope you won't disappoint me!"
Yang Peng was really helpless towards this brother who was usually silent but actually had a leopard personality. After being punished for disobeying military orders last time, Yang Peng was worried about turning Zhan Jinguo into a wooden man. If you are always rigid and dogmatic, you will be completely screwed.
It's a pity that this guy rarely studies the word "property". Zhan Jinguo has never thought carefully about when he should be cautious and meticulous, and when he should ignore it and take the initiative. For now, Zhan Jinguo is a very good captain. If you ask him to tuck his head in his belt and lead a few brothers on a desperate raid, he will never let you down. But what Yang Peng needs now is not this kind of captain, but a general who can stand alone like Zhang Xiang.
When it comes to being a captain, Yang Peng's more than 40 brothers can now be captains, and they will definitely be at the front at all times. However, a team cannot all be captains, and Yang Peng is not willing to be a battalion commander for the rest of his life!
In this operation, Cheng Shijie was put in charge of the overall command, while Zhang Xiang was left in Hope Village to look after the family. Yang Peng deliberately wanted to train the team. The outcome of the battle is secondary. The growth of the team is Yang Peng's biggest concern.
The gloom on Zhan Jinguo's face disappeared, and Yang Peng turned his attention to another brother he was very optimistic about: "Yin Mingde, come here!" "Brother, our flintlock brothers are already in place. Do you have any other orders? "Yin Mingde usually doesn't talk much, but compared with Zhan Jinguo, he seems much calmer.
"You can hand over the two machine crossbows to Xiang Danian and Fan Longtao, and then recruit two brothers from below to be assistants!" Yang Peng shook his head and said, "Your task tonight is not the machine crossbow, but to lead the rest of the machine crossbows." Four infantry brothers fight!"
"Just ask Fan Longtao to go down with a flintlock gun. There will be a flintlock gun above to keep an eye on the Khitan people in the watchtower." Yang Peng said as he went downstairs: "Come down quickly, I have something to say!" He came to the first floor. Later, Yang Pengcai said to Yin Mingde: "Pull out several shooting holes on the wall facing the street. The flintlock guns are placed in the middle, and the other four brothers are on both sides to protect them. Once the Khitans come, everyone First, shoot together to stun him, then the flintlocks start firing, and the roll call begins. Your flintlocks must provide fire support for the brothers."
"Yes, there is no problem." Yin Mingde was a little confused: "What are you doing? Aren't you ordering us?" "Aren't I ordering you now?" Yang Peng gave Yin Mingde a hard look: "What do you care about me? Quickly organize the brothers to enter the fighting position and take out the shooting holes, but don't take off the bricks yet, just leave an observation hole. Don't you want to ask me? I'll bring the Khitans over to you!"
Throwing the crossbow to Yin Mingde, Yang Peng disappeared into the darkness in a flash. "I just asked casually, and I got so many lessons! This big brother is becoming more and more difficult to serve!" Yin Mingde didn't know what Yang Peng wanted to do, and kept muttering: "You said Khitan Can you bring them here if you bring them here? Are you the commander of the Khitan people?"
It was already around nine o'clock in the evening when Yang Peng came out of the construction site. Following his last action route, he still jumped across the ridge and went straight to the northeast corner of the Yamen. However, he already knew that the barbed wire on the wall was connected to the bell, so naturally he couldn't make the same mistake again. When he came to the base of the fence, Yang Peng turned over his hands and took out two bricks, which he had brought with him when he left the construction site just now. When two bricks touched, they became four pieces.
Whoosh! Half of the bricks flew to the wall, hit the barbed wire and fell down again. Jingle bells--it was indeed good. The bells rang immediately after the barbed wire was subjected to external force.
Swish, swish, the remaining three bricks flew to the barbed wire fence, and the alarm bell rang loudly for a while, becoming especially crisp at night!
Whizzing! Whoosh whoosh!
The Khitan's crossbow on duty finally couldn't hold it any longer and fired several bursts, causing sparks to pop out of the wall. Yang Peng was worried that he would not be able to mobilize the enemy, so he found four more bricks and kept throwing them towards the barbed wire fence. This is going downhill, the bell keeps ringing, and I don’t know how many people are attacking the barbed wire fence.
Swish swish——
The Khitan's crossbows on duty had changed their shooting method and turned into crazy shooting. The top of the northeast corner wall was immediately messed up. When the sound of the crossbow stopped, Yang Peng knew that the opponent's arrow fight was over. Looking at the barbed wire on the wall, a gap has been made. However, the gap is not big enough, just enough for a cat to get through.
If you want to know what happens next, let’s look at the breakdown in the next chapter.
