"Rescuing people is like putting out fires! Lead the way!" Duan Zhixian did not talk nonsense with this guy, but directly gave the order: "The first squadron spread out in a combat formation, two miles ahead to open the way! The second squadron and the third squadron separated left and right to form a combat team. Take care of the two flanks! The guard platoon is responsible for the rear!" Before the first battalion commander Zhan Jin Guo left, Duan Zhixian gave him a note. After the team dispersed, Duan Zhixian quickly wrote a letter, instructing Cui Saner to go back and give it to Yang Tong, and told him not to come back for the time being.
The entire marching team moved forward for about ten miles, and the more than 300 people in front always walked slowly. Instead of looking like he was rescuing people, he was clearly just traveling around. Duan Zhixian saw the opportunity and raised his hand to make a gesture to battalion commander Zhou Dayong and third company commander Li Xu. Seeing the two people nodding, he shouted loudly: "The second and third companies should gather their formations. The brothers who are guarding the mountain are tired. You are responsible for guarding the surroundings and let them have a good rest. The crossbow company and the fourth company , follow me to pick up the company!"
As soon as Duan Zhixian finished speaking, he led four platoons of the crossbow company and the combat company and rushed forward past the more than 300 people. At the corner ahead, I met Qiu Mingkang, the deputy company commander. "How is the situation?" Duan Zhixian asked anxiously. Qiu Mingkang nodded and said: "As expected by the regiment commander, more than 300 people appeared in front of us on the right and were advancing in the opposite direction. The target was the olecranon recess! The company commander had already led his men to follow, so there should be no chance of running away! "
"Very good! Although this battle is unavoidable, there are still many benefits to fighting this battle!" Duan Zhixian said thoughtfully: "Follow the road signs left in front and lead the machine gun squad to outflank us." Duan Zhixian and the others were in the dense forest. After traveling for more than 20 miles, we finally found the gathering place of more than 300 people. There is a very gentle mountain col, all full of big trees. There are no fallen leaves on the ground and it is very clean. It seems that there are often people active here, and the surrounding environment is well protected.
"The people inside listen: put down your weapons, hold your heads with your hands, and come out one by one. If there is resistance, thirty crossbows will cover and shoot!" As soon as the words fell, the crossbows were heard "Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!" As soon as the sound was heard, a large piece of the branches above the heads of the more than 300 bandits fell!
"Now I'm counting dozens: 1, 2, 3..." "Don't shoot arrows! I'll come out!" A bandit dropped his gun, held his head in his hands and walked out. As soon as the other gangster next to him raised his bow and arrow, he heard a "pop" and his head was opened! "You little bastards, how dare you take what I say as fart? You don't know how to live or die!" People on Duan Zhixian's side have long heard that it was Cui San'er's voice! As everyone knows, the security company is already in place as planned!
"There are three more numbers! 8, 9..." "Don't shoot! We are all out!" With the lessons learned from the past, no one dares to take risks now. After a short time, there were less than a hundred people left in the same place. Duan Zhixian knew that these people were determined bandits and they would be a disaster if they remained. Then he shouted: "Fire all the flintlocks and leave no one behind!"
Surrounded on all sides, with flintlock guns covering an area less than thirty meters in radius, one can imagine the result. After a minute, the battlefield was cleaned, and there was no one left alive! I found two acquaintances in the middle, the same guys who followed Zhenshan and worshiped the mountain. Duan Zhixian ordered his team to dig a big pit and bury it as tree fertilizer. Not long after, more than two hundred people came in and moved all the broken knives back to the temporary residence. Naturally, there were people to clean them up.
It is said that Duan Zhixian led the first class, fourth class and Qiangnu class to quickly return to the original place. The original three hundred people had been disarmed and taken into custody. At this time, more than two hundred people came from the direction of Sankuishi. This was sent by Yang Tong to receive prisoners and carry weapons according to Duan Zhixian's order. The leader was Yang Erya.
Duan Zhixian pulled out the greasy-faced guy and asked: "You know what I want to ask, tell me!" "Guan Ye: There are more than fifty of our brothers in the village. The second master is in charge of the village. The first master and his guards More than a hundred people have been beaten to death! There are still more than five hundred people imprisoned in the back mountain. What I said is the truth, don’t kill me!"
After a few brief explanations, he led the large troops on a rapid march in the direction of Daqingshan. More than thirty miles away, we arrived in less than three hours. At this time, the sun was just heading west. Bai Shujie asked Duan Zhixian to send two teams to investigate to see what magic Daqingshan has! Two hours later, the reconnaissance soldier returned with a report: "What the guy just said is right. There are indeed not many people in the cottage. But there is only one road up the mountain, and there is a big stone wall blocking the entrance to the cottage. There is a crossbow on duty on the gate tower, and it seems difficult to get up. ."
After on-site investigation by investigators, the prisoners' confessions were verified. As for how to go up, Duan Zhixian feels that he needs to see it on the spot before he can decide. There were less than two hours before dark, and Duan Zhixian was unwilling to waste time. He ordered the three companies to spread out in combat formation and approach the gate of the mountain village covertly. As a result, when we were about 150 meters away from the gate of the cottage, we could no longer move forward. Because there is an open space in front of you, without any obstruction or obstruction.
Duan Zhixian looked with a telescope for a long time and found that Daqingshan was higher than all the surrounding peaks, and a real solitary peak stood tall. The cottage is built in a large cave halfway up the mountain, and the main peak of Daqing Mountain is more than 200 meters higher. The gates of the cottage are higher than the surrounding mountains. It is true that one man can guard the gate and ten thousand men can watch it! The door is made of logs and is thick and strong. Without explosives, there is no way to break it open! At this time, Duan Zhixian thought of the crossbow again.
Since a frontal attack was meaningless, Duan Zhixian called Cheng Shijie over and asked, "You are a hunter. If you take people to look around, you might be able to find some clues. A frontal attack is not cost-effective. Others Everyone rests on the spot and takes turns keeping watch!" Duan Zhixian leaned against the big tree with his eyes fascinated. It looks like he is sleeping, but actually he has a boiling pot in his mind. Although the back mountain is a cliff, is it really impossible to go up? Wasn't Huashan, which was so steep back then, broken by the Yang Army?
Unexpectedly, Cheng Shijie came back to report soon: "It's absolutely possible to go up, but not too many people can go up! And they have to be good at it!" "My skills are not bad, count me in!" Duan Zhixian nodded and asked: "Who dares to go?" Ouyang Shan, who usually doesn't snort, snorted: "Who else can be there besides me?" "Fart! I didn't even say anything, when will it be your turn?" Guan Xiong shouted in a low voice He said: "Count me first. If it's not enough, then ask Xiao Shanzi to make up the number."
Guan Xiong and Ouyang Shan are both core disciples of Thirty-Six Tiangang carefully trained by old men Wang Yidao and Wang Yizhui of the Yuxi Sect. They are very good at boxing, kicking, and jumping high and low. "Three people are enough!" Duan Zhixian waved his hand and said, "Shijie, according to your judgment, how long will it take for us to enter?"
Cheng Shijie lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said with certainty: "Two hours is enough!" Duan Zhixian nodded and ordered: "Chen Jie, in one and a half hours, you first knock out the crossbow on duty! You only have one task, keep an eye on Don’t let the opponent’s crossbow shoot arrows!”
"Yes! Captain!" "Zhou Dayong, after the opponent's crossbowman is knocked out, you organize four flintlocks to take turns shooting!"
"Yes!" "Yang Tong, after the machine gun fires, you organize a feint attack. The noise should be louder and the more chaotic the better! But there should be no casualties!" "Yes! Make sure to complete the mission!"
At this time, it was completely dark. Duan Zhixian and Guan Xiong drew their hand crossbows and moved forward with their backs against the mountain wall. At this moment, fierce gunshots came from in front of the cottage, as well as countless people shouting to kill! It seems that Zhou Dayong and Yang Tong cooperated very well, making the feint look real.
Watching Duan Zhixian and Guan Xiong disappear on the opposite side, they went directly to the bandit's lair, and then gave the bandit a black tiger to eat out the heart, achieving the purpose of attacking from both inside and outside. Although Cheng Shijie was extremely worried, he couldn't help now, so he could only wipe away his tears, silently blessed him in his heart, and then turned around and flew away.
Speaking of Duan Zhixian and Guan Xiong alone, it took the two of them almost an hour to slowly reach the side of Daqing Mountain. The light of the torches in front of the village could be clearly seen. The sound of gunshots and human voices were already intertwined over the mountain village, and there was an endless stream of people running around. However, after careful observation, Bai Shujie found that these people were always running around. It seemed that these were the only people the cottage could use. Bai Shujie turned to Guan Xiong and nodded, then slowly bent down and crawled forward. After another half hour, Duan Zhixian finally saw his third acquaintance, a thin man who had been following Zhenshan that day to pay homage to the mountain.
Duan Zhixian shouted: "Let's go!" Then he kicked the ground with both feet and flew up! In the air, two hand crossbows were already shooting arrows, and the target was the little skinny man! The little skinny man was commanding the minions with all his teeth and claws, but he was instantly turned into a hornet's nest by the crossbow arrows from the air!
At the same time, Guan Xiong's two hand crossbows also fired at the same time, shooting wildly at the minions running back and forth! Now the two of them are like tigers among wolves, and they must not give the bandits a chance to turn around, otherwise the consequences will be terrible! Taking this opportunity, Duan Zhixian changed his arrow clip and joined in the shooting. All the attention of the minions was focused on the two crossbows outside the village gate. No one would have thought of the fatal arrows flying from behind! When Duan Zhixian changed the arrow clip for the third time, there was no living person in the square, only the crackling sound of dozens of torches burning!
Without waiting for instructions, Guan Xiong ran to the village gate like flying and opened the gate with great effort. Several squad and platoon leaders were responsible for the subsequent search for remaining enemies, but fortunately no accidents occurred. At this point, the majestic Daqing Mountain. It fell into the hands of the Song Dynasty anti-corruption team! Duan Zhixian didn't have time to look at the environment here, so he immediately ordered Chen Jie to lead two soldiers to Yingbiao overnight, report the results of the battle here, and notify deputy commander Cheng Shijie to organize a large force to move over immediately! Special emphasis: All prisoners must be brought over one by one, because there is still a lot of hard work to be done!
After dealing with all this, Duan Zhixian had time to observe the situation here by the light of the torch. It turns out that this Daqingshan looks like a pillar holding up the sky from the outside. Only when you really have to go inside can you find that the entire south hillside is divided into four levels. The lowest level is the open space we saw earlier. It's about 400 meters long and 120 meters wide.
Walking up more than a hundred meters, it is actually the second level platform. It was previously invisible because a stone wall was built here. This platform is more than 300 meters long and 100 meters wide. More than two hundred meters further up is the third level, where the platform area is much smaller. Continuing up for more than a hundred meters, we reached the last level, where Duan Zhixian and Guan Xiong sneaked in. This is the entrance to the big cave. There is also a platform in front of the big cave. The previous bandits have made it very smooth. More than two hundred meters long and more than eighty meters wide.
The upper and lower passages are not naturally formed, and it seems that they were dug out by someone who did not know how many years ago. The stepped mountain road, about two meters wide, winds down close to the west mountain wall. All the way to the open area at the bottom, and then there is the passage into and out of the mountain along the ridge. The unique thing about Daqingshan is that the central main peak has a pillar holding up the sky, like a human head. The mountains on the east and west sides extend outward like open arms. But there was a huge crack between the two shoulders and the head, as if someone had split it open.
The main peak of Daqing Mountain is concave in the south, forming four steps. The east and west sides of the steps are as smooth as a mirror, as if they were cut with an ax or a knife. If you walk to the east and west edges of the large steps, you will find that the huge crack is about twenty to forty meters wide and bottomless. Duan Zhixian walked along the steps and got a general understanding of the environment here. If you don't consider the transportation problem, this is indeed a perfect place to station troops! But for now, this is a better place for military training than the original station. It can accommodate 30,000 people without any problem!
Form a replenishment battalion, also known as a boot camp! When Duan Zhixian returned to Dashandong Square, he finally made up his mind. The first batch of recruits in the boot camp were the workers who had been rescued earlier. Then a class of soldiers will be selected as instructors to carry out three months of basic training. Regarding the specific division of the site, there are ready-made caves dug by bandits on the first and second steps, and the playground is large enough to accommodate 5,000 people living and training at the same time. As for technical and tactical training, these are deserted mountaintops with high mountains and dense forests. You can do whatever you want, and using guns and begging will only scare the wild beasts.
Judging from the existing caves, the third level can accommodate more than 3,000 people. It serves as a camp for combat troops. When there are no combat missions, it can be taken back for rest. The highest level is naturally where the headquarters is located. We still don’t know what is going on inside the cave. Because the terrain here was too complicated, Duan Zhixian just disposed of the enemy's corpses that night and arranged the sentry posts. Duan Zhixian ordered everyone to rest.
Early the next morning, we used the bandit's woodshed to make a fire for cooking. After finishing the meal, Duan Zhixian issued a series of orders: the entire first battalion of Zhan Jin Kingdom was dispatched to investigate the situation fifty miles around Daqing Mountain. Zhou Dayong's second squad continued to search throughout Daqingshan to find people detained by the rebels. Yang Tong's third squad is responsible for cleaning up the caves where troops are stationed in various places, preparing to welcome the arrival of the deputy commander's large troops.
Hu Bingzhang's fourth class searched and cleaned the fourth-level platform to prepare for the regiment headquarters office. Xiang Danian's crossbow company is responsible for the security of Daqingshan. After everyone split up, Duan Zhixian stepped into the big cave for the first time. This place was about to become his regiment headquarters, and he needed to take a good look and get familiar with the situation. It would be a big joke if the top commander didn't know where the gate of the regiment headquarters was.
When we entered the cave, we realized that it was a huge cave. The overall shape is elliptical, with a north-south long axis layout. It is more than fifty meters long from north to south and more than thirty meters wide from east to west. The clear height inside is more than ten meters, making it the best gathering hall in Zhenshan. Looking up, there were eight huge iron basin chandeliers in two rows crackling and burning, and no one knew what was inside. It lasts for a long time, making the entire hall brightly lit. Bai Shujie cursed in his heart: What a waste! Two lamps are enough, so why are you so extravagant?
In the middle is a long table made of huge logs. It is more than eight meters wide and more than 20 meters long. It is surrounded by benches. It is very spacious for a meeting of fifty or sixty people. It is a very large conference room! There are many small caves on the east and west sides. There are three caves in the east and eleven caves in the west. They all have original wooden doors installed, and I don’t know what’s inside or how much space there is.
The northernmost side near the stone wall is very smooth. There is a one-meter-high small platform underneath, with a tiger-skin chair on it, which looks like the best seat in Sanshan. If a combat map is hung on the stone wall, it will indeed be a very safe regiment headquarters. Lord Diao? Duan Zhixian came up with such a term in his mind for no reason, and then laughed at himself: I am not the city lord, how can I be such a lord? "Captain, what kind of eagle is Mr. Diao?" A voice suddenly came out from behind Duan Zhixian, startling him! Looking back, it turned out to be Hu Bingzhang, the fourth squad leader.
Duan Zhixian was annoyed. When he saw that there was no one else, he pointed at Hu Bingzhang's nose and cursed: "You damn have forgotten all the military regulations! You didn't shout a report when you entered the door, which almost scared me to death. Did you know that?" Hu Bingzhang said with a playful smile. : "I saw you talking to yourself. I was afraid of disturbing you, so I didn't call for a report."
When Duan Zhixian heard this, he yelled: "Fart! You came to talk to my ear and said you were afraid of disturbing me. What bullshit reason is there? How dare you tease the captain, I will write it down for you. Wait until the deputy captain comes back. , I just report it truthfully." Hu Bingzhang quickly raised his hands in surrender when he heard the deputy detachment leader said: "Don't, don't! Leader, you are a big man, don't be the same as a little one!"
Duan Zhixian sat down on the stool in front of the long table, stared at Hu Bingzhang, and said, "Look at how sneaky you are! Tell me, what's going on?" Hu Bingzhang also sat down and said, "We finally found the person who was being hunted. There are a total of 317 people in custody. After preliminary inquiries, it turns out that there are many places to store food and gold and silver treasures in Daqing Mountain. The small cave in this hall is used to store food and gold and silver treasures for daily use. At the bottom of the mountain There’s also a huge grain depot!”
"Because this is a bandit's den, I was afraid of something unexpected happening, so I came in alone to check. Soldiers have been arranged outside to guard the door. Unexpectedly, the regiment leader came in first, so let's check all these warehouses. Do you have the confidence in your heart and then let the soldiers register?" "Okay, it's okay anyway, let's just take a look!" Duan Zhixian stood up, and Hu Bingzhang quickly stepped forward to block in front of him. Then he drew his pistol and stepped forward first, carefully opening the first door to the east. Looking at the lights outside, they were all big sacks. Hu Bingzhang touched it with his left hand and said: "They are all corn, which is the corn of later generations!" Duan Zhixian said loudly, "Arrange people to send these corns back to Tianjing New City immediately. This is a new variety of grain. Let's see how the city lord arranges it. Jin The silver jewelry was also shipped away.”
Leaving these people here to make preparations, Duan Zhixian and Guan Xiong followed Cheng Shijie over the mountains, made a big circle, and came to a hilltop behind Daqing Mountain. Duan Zhixian looked up and saw that this hilltop and Daqing Mountain were integrated. However, there is a gap more than ten meters wide between the two, which only gods can cross.
The only possibility is to fly over. Fly over? Duan Zhixian looked back and saw that Cheng Shijie had taken out a thin rope and tied it to a small tree. Then use this string to wrap around a large tree at the back to make the trunk of the small tree curved. Duan Zhixian already understood what Cheng Shijie meant, so he sorted out his belongings and tidied them up and down. Then he climbed up to the top of the small tree, leaned against the small tree with his back, and grabbed the trunk with his backhand.
Duan Zhixian shouted softly: "Let it go!" "I'm not completely sure, so be careful!" Cheng Shijie warned, and then loosened his hands! With a "soft" sound, Duan Zhixian flew out like a cannonball! In mid-air, I saw Duan Zhixian's arms slightly bent, his palms like eagle claws, and he grabbed towards the opposite mountain wall! During the whole process, Cheng Shijie and Guan Xiong had their hearts in their throats, staring at Duan Zhixian's movements!
Emperor Tian pays off his conscientious people! Duan Zhixian grabbed a protruding rock the moment he hit the mountain wall! Then he performed the eagle claw stunt of climbing in the air, slowly slid down, and finally landed on a small platform two people wide. You're done! Here Cheng Shijie nodded to Guan Xiong, and then pointed to the string in his hand. With disdain on his face, Guan Xiong pointed at the small tree, then walked to stand next to the tree without looking at Cheng Shijie. After arriving at this place, Guan Xiong knew that only two people could pass by. Because the platform below is too small, only two people can stand on it.
Since it was Cheng Shijie who came up with the bad idea, let him watch the scenery here! This is what Guan Xiong has in mind! Wave your hand, brother, here I go! You can say that Guan Xiong is generous in his sacrifice! You can also say that Guan Xiong is a person of personal heroism! However, he left the hope of life to his comrades and the possibility of death to himself! What is no turning back? What is comradeship? That’s it! Time is everything now, and it is not the time for children to love each other. Cheng Shijie didn't waste any time and repeated the previous actions. This time, thanks to Duan Zhixian's support, Guan Xiong reached the other shore without any danger!
If you want to know what happens next, let’s look at the breakdown in the next chapter.
