Most people know that bandits and robbers usually place their stronghold or lair in a dangerous place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Just like Qi Laoliu, who had a feud with Wang Huzi back then, his gangster lair was built in a dangerous place known as the Skyline.
And this Iron Lock Gang's lair has been managed by several generations. It is backed by a mountain on one side and facing water on the other. It seems to be a good place with mountains and rivers, but the mountain it is backed by is actually a cliff hundreds of meters high. , there is no way down the mountain. The water next to it is also a shallow swamp covered with reeds, called Quelongtan.
It means that even the dragon is trapped inside and cannot get out. There are various hidden waterways criss-crossing the place. For those who are not familiar with it, it would be great if you can ensure that you don’t get lost, let alone the cottage.
In such a dangerous place, the county magistrate, who could only talk on paper, led his security team and dozens of small boats and rushed in.
As a result, not only were the people floating on the water killed and injured more than a dozen people by taking advantage of the terrain, but even the county magistrate almost fell into the water and fed the bastard. In the end, not even a single figure of the water bandit was seen, so he retreated in embarrassment.
After this battle, Floating on the Water became even more famous.
Think about it, even the government officials have been beaten to pieces by me. Who will dare to mess with me in the future?
Since then, in Pengze County, floating on the water has become a more intimidating force than the government.
Although the government is corrupt, as long as you are filial at all times and pay taxes honestly, they will generally not trouble you.
But this group of vicious water bandits from the Tiesuo Gang don't tell you any rules. They are interested in your family's money and your eldest daughter and daughter-in-law. That's because Mr. Piao gives you face and thinks highly of you. If you don't obediently come to your door, then wait. Let the whole family die.
This is true for people in my hometown, but it is even more cruel to treat passing merchant ships.
The rule floating on the water is that as long as I raise the banner of the Iron Lock Gang, no matter which merchant ship you belong to, you must stop obediently and wait for me to go up and grab it.
Even so, it depends on Master Piao's mood that day. If you're in a good mood, you might not kill anyone, just take the goods away. If you are in a bad mood, you have to draw one out of ten or one out of five, and behead them to sacrifice to the river god.
And if you don't stop the ship and run as hard as you can, once you catch up, you'll kill them all, and even the cargo ship will be burned to the ground.
By now, the cruel reputation of Floating on the Water has spread throughout the Jiujiang area. Even some local tycoons and bullies who have more people and guns than him dare not easily provoke him. In Pengze County, he has become a man who can stop children from crying at night. The underworld overlord of one party. People in the world gave him another nickname, Iron Suo Hengjiang.
But this time, the Iron Lock Hengjiang met the nemesis of the bandits, because the first water bandit force Zhou Wen dealt with was the Iron Lock Gang.
In fact, when Zhou Wen was in Shanghai, he had already heard about the name Iron Lock Hengjiang from the Qing Gang.
Because during this period, the Qing Gang not only dominated Shanghai, but also had great influence in East China. Many Qing Gang disciples spread their branches in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Even in Jiangxi, Anhui and other provinces, there were branches or vassal gangs of the Qing Gang, and even There is also contact with the Brother Pao Society in Sichuan, so generally both the black and white gangs have to give face to the Qing Gang.
However, the Tie Suo Gang controlled by Shui Piao did not give any face to the Qing Gang. They even robbed the Qing Gang's cargo ship and even killed people. This created a conflict with the Qing Gang.
So when he heard that Zhou Wen was going to deal with the Tiesuo Gang, Mr. Du not only revealed all the details of the Tiesuo Gang, but also sent several Qinggang disciples who were from the Jiujiang area and were familiar with the local terrain to guide him. Only then did he easily find where the Tiesuo Gang was trapped. Longtan’s lair.
Some people here may ask, why are a few Youth Gang disciples more familiar with the reed swamp where even the local security team gets lost?
In fact, Zhou Wen didn't take the waterway at all.
Just kidding, even if Zhou Wen and the others are extremely powerful in combat, they still understand the principle of specializing in magic. If you go to an area with intertwined waterways and unfamiliar terrain to fight a group of water bandits who are experienced in water battles, let alone whether you can destroy the enemy or not, your own casualties will be huge. Although Zhou Wen is confident, he will never be reckless or arrogant. Ever since time travel, Mr. Zhou has never done anything to suffer a loss.
What are mercenary groups good at? Of course it's a land battle. And mountain warfare in land warfare is even more the brothers' specialty.
It is not a big deal for Zhou Wen and his brothers whether the mountains are steep and difficult to navigate, or whether there are cliffs and abyss to find a way out.
If there is no way, I will find a way for you.
Therefore, the hundreds of meters high cliff barrier that the Tiesuo Gang relied on became the most suitable sneak attack route for Zhou Wen and the others.
Recently, it is the rainy season, the sky is covered with dark clouds, and it is even more difficult to see at night. This is the advantage of the mercenary group's strong night fighting ability.
As the saying goes: A dark and windy night is the time to kill.
So, in the dark night three days ago, a team of more than a dozen people slinged down from the cliff. First, Zhang Xiaoping and Zhou Wen quietly touched the waterside at the entrance of the cottage, and tied them together with a fire. Dozens of wooden boats were burned completely, cutting off the water bandits' escape route.
The rest is very simple. Miaohua took advantage of the chaos in the cottage and the bandits were panicking, and led everyone to launch a surprise attack from behind the cottage. Zhou Wen and Zhang Xiaoping's two Somi assault rifles sealed the gate of the bandits, and they were caught in a trap. .
It took the brothers less than twenty minutes to wipe out the water bandits' den with over 100 people.
In this battle, Zhou Wen left no one alive except the women.
Not only are these people all ferocious water bandits with countless innocent people's blood on their hands, but Zhou Wen's trip is here to establish his authority, and he must show his iron-bloodedness and ruthless methods to the surrounding forces. .
As for letting these women go, on the one hand, most of them were women from good families who had been plundered by water bandits, so Zhou Wen naturally did not want to kill innocent people indiscriminately. The other one is that Mr. Zhou needs someone to release the news that the Tiesuo Gang was wiped out overnight as soon as possible.
After daybreak, they counted the corpses and found a total of 108. After asking for help, they found out that Shui Piao was an imitator of the Liangshan heroes and had set the rule that the Tie Suo Gang would only accept 108 people. Now it's better, none of the 108 'heroes' have escaped.
Before Zhou Wen evacuated, he asked his brothers to chop off the heads of these 108 'heroes' and hang them all on wooden stakes at the entrance of the village.
Then a flagpole was erected among the wooden piles, with a large and fluttering flag hanging on it. In the center of the flag, a ferocious-looking tiger with colorful colors was wandering in the wind, as if it could jump out of the flag at any time, which made people terrified.
This is how Zhou Wen establishes his power.
No registration number, no identity disclosed. In fact, there is no way to retaliate, what Tiger Defense Company? Who knows what it means?
Just kill them all the way, thrust the tiger flag straight into the hearts of the water bandits, and your calves will tremble when you see the flag.
