Hao Laodao, the bandit who is entrenched in Laoye Ridge in Fangcheng Mountain, has been prospering in recent years. Originally just a bandit, he led dozens of brothers, scurrying back and forth between Fangcheng Mountain and Funiu Mountain, surviving on scraps that other bandits looked down upon, without even a bandit den. Later, through some bad luck, he actually got involved with officials from Fangcheng County. He settled in Laoye Ridge, not far from Fangcheng County.
This Fangcheng County is located in an important land transportation area in Henan, and the north-south highway across Henan passes through the city. Laoye Ridge is located in the mountains less than fifteen miles away from the highway. As long as the goods traveling from north to south leave the county, someone will send a message to the mountains. Those who can be robbed and those who cannot be robbed are clearly pointed out. The looted goods are sold to the city at low prices.
In this way, in just over two years, his subordinates grew to more than 300 guns. But Hao Laodao was guided by an expert in the city, not to hurt people's lives or kidnap him. When his brothers wanted women, they went to the brothels in the county to have fun, so the people were not very angry. Most reported cases were suppressed by county officials. As soon as the officials and gangsters colluded, the wealth came rolling in. Hao Laodao's life should not be too comfortable.
But in recent days, as soon as the first snow of winter fell, Hao Laodao's bad luck came. Brothers who were out patrolling, going down the mountain to buy goods, and even standing guard near the village were all attacked with black guns.
Where did the bullet come from? I don’t know, I don’t know, but it’s at least two hundred meters away. How many people were attacked? I don’t know, I don’t know. Anyway, if you want to go down the mountain, you will definitely get shot. And they only injure, not kill. The injured person is asked to send someone to drag him back, and he promises not to shoot. If you want to charge in a group, you can, just listen to the gunfire of at least 4 machine guns and decide what to do yourself.
In this way, the bandits were surrounded by unknown forces in their lair. Yes, they were surrounded. No matter which way you go down the mountain, people will be killed by gunshots, and then you will be asked to carry the injured back to the mountain. Over the past few days, there were more than fifty injured people, screaming and wailing every day, and all the medicinal materials in the village were exhausted. No one dared to leave the village gate, not even to stand sentry.
Today is the third day that the cottage has been surrounded. In the early morning, the hall of the cottage is crowded with bandits of all sizes. Their eyes are red and their faces are pale. The usual high-spirited spirit has long been gone.
Just kidding, try what it feels like to not sleep for two days and two nights. sleepy? Sure, the machine gun went off as soon as I fell asleep. I quickly got up and held the gun in my arms, waiting for the enemy to come in. But they refused to come in, but who can guarantee that they won’t come in next time when the gunfire rang out? Do you dare to sleep? They were not allowed to light a fire for heating. Smoke was coming from the roof of that room, and the windows of that room were immediately smashed. The cold wind on the mountain in winter can kill people.
"Brother, you should come up with an idea. Brothers don't dare to light a fire now. They all eat raw white flour and don't dare to sleep. They pee and poop all in the house. They can't stand it anymore. If they can't light a fire anymore, they will have to do it tonight. Many people froze to death." The leader said with a cry.
Hao Laodao had a pair of panda eyes, and his mouth was blistered. He shouted to the leader: "Get an idea, either rush out to die, or wait in the house to die."
At this time, another leader said: "Brother, this group has never killed anyone. I'm afraid they are seeking money instead of killing people. Let's hang up the white flag. If the money is gone, we can start over again. In case the other party gets angry and starts killing people." It won’t be easy to handle, so surrender.”
"Yes, surrender, brother, I can't stand it anymore." One person took the lead and everyone else agreed.
Hao Laodao breathed heavily, looking at the expectant eyes around him, his heart felt like a knife. The savings they had worked hard for several years could no longer be saved, and a group of old people shed tears, "Hang the white flag and throw the guns out." With a loud shout, it seemed that all the strength in his body was exhausted, and Hao Laodao sat down on the ground.
At the gate of the village, looking at the bandits who were ordered to be tied up in the open space, Miaohua exclaimed: "Junior brother, your psychological tactics are really amazing. This is still not killing people. If you start killing people, don't In three days, or at most one day, these bandits will collapse."
This was the fourth group of bandits that Zhou Wen led the transport team to destroy. The previous ones were all evil-doers, and they were basically the targets of the team members. Hao Laodao's reputation wasn't bad, so he used psychological warfare to win him over.
Hao Laodao's hands were tied and he knelt on the ground, looking at the opponents who suddenly appeared from all around. Their bodies were covered with withered grass, and their faces were covered with black scarves, with only a pair of eyes exposed. Everyone wears leggings, high-waisted leather shoes, and iron-gray cotton military uniforms. Knowing that the opponent was a regular army, I felt even more desperate.
Watching these soldiers silently walking up, checking the bandits' ropes and gathering the weapons on the ground, all actions were orderly and familiar. "They are all veterans who are used to it. I don't know how many comrades have suffered." Hao Laodao thought to himself. I saw a man in the same attire, but with a telescope on his chest and a leather briefcase on his back, walked over and asked, "Are you Hao Laodao?"
"Yes, yes, I'm young, I wonder what the commander's orders are?" Hao Laodao replied hurriedly.
"I'm just a person who won't talk nonsense to you. You haven't done anything harmful to the world in the past few years, so I won't do anything wrong. If you take out all your money, I will take 80% of it and you will keep 20%. I will only pick out the guns, ammunition and food that I need, and will not force you to death or starve to death. You can go and inquire and find out what happened to those Qi Laoliu and Lao Bazi. But if you are not honest, you will still If you want to hide your secrets, you won't even be able to survive. You have to think clearly."
Hao Laodao took a breath. He knew very well what kind of people Qi Laoliu and Lao Bazi were. They were both powerful and evil-minded gangsters. Even with his current strength, he did not dare to provoke them. of. From the sound of his voice, I thought this officer was young, but I didn't dare to doubt what he said. He quickly replied: "Don't dare, don't dare. The chief will give the brothers a way to survive. The younger one is not a ungrateful person. Let's take the officers to the warehouse and never dare to hide anything. In addition to the warehouse, the younger one also has a private hiding place. Take the officers to get it too.”
The bandits were locked up in the hall and were not allowed to peek or go out. A machine gun was set up at the door. Just listen to the sound of horse-drawn carriages outside. The bandits were sleepy and hungry, and they just hoped that these ancestors would leave quickly.
In the afternoon, there was no sound outside, but no one dared to go out to check, until a cry came: "Come out again in half an hour, there are still guns pointing in the distance, don't seek death yourself." Then there was a burst of sound. The sound of horse hooves gradually faded away.
Half an hour later, Hao Laodao and the others came out and saw hundreds of rifles and several revolvers neatly stacked in the open space. I quickly ran to the warehouse to check, and sure enough, most of the food and a small amount of ammunition were left behind. Some of the property was left behind, and the gold bars were gone. Even Hao Laodao kept a little bit of his private collection.
"These ancestors kept their word, and they really only took away 80% of the money. However, the new guns I just bought from the county, three brand-new Czech-made machine guns, and the original German-made large mirrors are all gone." Alas. , Hao Laodao sighed, not knowing whether to cry or laugh.
