Chapter 238 Raid(1/2)
In the following time, the Huaili Army was circling southeast of Ganzhou, mainly dealing with the rebellious teams of the Fire Wolf Gang, and by the way, dealing with other gangs who made money while making trouble.
There have been a long turmoil in southern Ganzhou, and there are still many gangs robbing, but the scale is relatively small. Some are even composed of a few gangsters who have practiced some fist and foot skills. They cannot compete with Huailijun when they meet.
The Huaili Army, which had more than 700 people, had strong overall strength, was angry, and was also strategic. Each action went smoothly. It won more than a dozen victories within a few days, wiped out nearly a thousand bandits, and made a reputation in the southeast of Ganzhou.
As long as the Huaili Army arrested bandits who killed innocent people, they would never leave any living words. They would even speak out, killing one by one. This move was intended to show the court's tough attitude, which made many gangs terrified.
The victory of the battle has far-reaching impact, which not only won back the hearts of the people, but also greatly reduced the pressure in nearby counties.
After hearing the specific situation, the county magistrates of the nearby counties were very impressed. Unexpectedly, after the Huaili County Magistrate abandoned the city, he could lead a few hundred people to make a fortune. However, these county magistrates still kept in mind the teachings of General Manager Nie and wanted to defend the city well, so they did not send troops out of the city to help the Huaili army.
Huailijun did not ask for help, and he sorted out supplies after the war, in an orderly manner.
After more than a dozen battles, dozens of horses were collected, and the grain was piled up into small hills. They had to be pulled by carriages. There were also a large number of weapons, and even boxes of copper plates and broken silver.
The gunpowder was also collected a lot, and Master Zhang found several talents in the team to speed up the creation of earth thunder.
There was no food to eat, no weapons to use, and there was no use of copper plates and broken silver. The county magistrate waved his hand and wanted to disperse all the excess supplies to the people along the way.
Zhao Dezhu was quite worried: "Old Du, do you think there will be a cycle?"
Du Yong asked casually: "What cycle?"
Zhao Dezhu explained: "Look, these materials were originally from ordinary people, and were robbed by various robbery gangs. Then our Huaili army defeated the robbery gang and returned the materials to the people. Wouldn't it attract robbery again?"
Pei Song rode up on a horse and said coldly: "Isn't it enough to kill those robberies?"
Zhao Dezhu smiled bitterly: "Can you kill me? We are just a team of hundreds of people. It is impossible to take care of everything. The southeast of Ganzhou is still a bit big."
Pei Song asked, "Then what do you think should be done?"
Zhao Dezhu obviously had an answer: "Will you just send the remaining supplies to a county town with cities nearby?"
Pei Song frowned slightly, obviously he wanted to disperse the supplies to the people in the countryside because there was no shortage of supplies in the city.
Zhao Dezhu spread his hands: "It's better than being snatched again?"
"Good idea!"
Master Zhang came over and chuckled, "We can also take the opportunity to provide conditions to the county town that receives supplies to provide detonators. Although the inventory of detonators in county-level cities is not large, it is always better than thunder."
Pei Song looked at Du Yong.
Du Yong said lightly: "Where can we discuss the remaining materials to be delivered better, the focus is on war. Young Master Song, Huaili's army's out-of-town sweep was an accident, but the effect was not bad, so we have to persevere, fight harder and faster. We will soon go to the southwest to fight Zhou Yan to the death. He has more than a thousand bandits under his command, and we may not have fought. More detonators should increase the winning rate."
Not long ago, the spy sent by the county magistrate of Huaili had returned and indeed found the large nest of the Fire Wolf Gang in the jungle facing southwest. The leader was Zhou Yan, the fast knife hand.
Pei Song nodded slightly: "Then let's discuss it well."
After everyone's careful discussion, the Huaili County Magistrate finally decided to send most of the remaining supplies to the nearest county town and successfully obtained a lot of detonators.
Then he swept the southeast for a few days with great fanfare. Although he only swept away some small fish, he swept it out loud.
On a quiet evening, Huaili's army quietly entered the jungle and headed for all its strength to the southwest.
…………
Compared with the southeast, the southwest seems very quiet, but various forces have heard of the invincible things that the Huaili army has.
Zhou Yan and his gang naturally paid attention to the situation in the southeast. When drinking, they talked about Huailijun.
"What is invincible is just a sweeping away some inconsistent little skits."
The person who spoke was a strong man full of muscles. He was a powerful general under Chen Changfeng. Chen Changfeng was not here now, so I heard from Zhou Yan.
Many people had the same idea as him, and were very disdainful of Huai Lijun and agreed.
"In fact, there are only a few hundred people, and I dare to call the army absurdly. I really don't know who gave them the courage."
"If the so-called Huaili Army is really powerful, it will not be defeated by our Fire Wolf Gang."
"I heard that when they left the city, they only had dried sweet potatoes to bring."
After a few words, everyone burst into laughter.
Some people were also calm: "I think the Huaili army should not be underestimated. The reason why they did not defend the city was because there were only more than 200 defenders in the city at that time, but those more than 200 people could last for so long, which shows that the Huaili soldiers still have some strength."
Someone immediately refuted: "That's because they have detonators, otherwise there would be no such good thing? But so what if you hold on? Wasn't Huaili City still burned completely? The people also left the city one after another, which means that the court has already exhausted."
"You are right, as the saying goes, those who lose the people's hearts will lose the world."
"But the Huaili Army made such a big noise in the southeast, and is reshaping the people's hearts!"
"Huaili Army is a little bit stingy in the southeast, but it will never be too glorious."
"What do you mean? Is there any big gang in the southeast able to fight against the Huaili army?"
"What I mean is that we can take the initiative to attack and catch Huaili army off guard and completely erase Huaili army. This will not only further damage the morale of the court, but also make the people in the south give up."
"Good idea!"
Someone looked at Zhou Yan: "Mr. Zhou, what do you think?"
After being asked, Zhou Yan, who was holding a glass of wine, stopped drinking and said in a deep voice: "Putting aside conspiracy and weather factors, if you encounter it in Hirano, are you sure you have the confidence to win?"
The subordinates were stunned and replied, "Of course we can win. There are more than 1,500 here, and there are many masters. Huailijun shouldn't have any masters, right?"
Zhou Yan shook his head and pointed his finger: "The Lord Nie Bo of Dali Temple, Pei Song's two guards, and Du Yong's guard Yang Jin, these four are masters who are at the Tower Realm. Hu Hefeng, Du Yong, Pei Song, Huaili County Magistrate, etc. are all masters who are close to the Tower Realm. If we are careless, we will die without a place to bury."
The men were solemnly beauties, and someone asked, "Mr. Zhou, everyone else said that Du Yong was overrated, right?"
Everyone has heard of Du Yong's deeds. The most famous one is of course Zhuangyu Lake killing the big crocodile, and the third time avoiding the assassination of Mengji killers.
It's indeed a bit magical, but everyone has also heard that Du Yong's martial arts has been greatly reduced once, and now he has just returned to the seal realm. However, Zhou Yan said that Du Yong has the strength to approach the tower realm, so how can people not be surprised?
Zhou Yan said seriously: "According to the news I received, the person who presided over the guardian of Huaili City that night was Du Yong. He killed many of our Huolang Gang on the city wall and persisted until the last moment before he got off the city wall."
"No?"
"I heard it was Mr. Zhang!"
"Isn't it Pei Song's escort?"
"Pei Song's guard also left the city at that time, and it was Yang Jin who insisted on fighting."
With many different opinions, Zhou Yan insisted: "Don't guess, it's Du Yong!"
"Military Zhou, even if Du Yong has the strength to approach the tower land, he doesn't have to be so afraid of him, right?"
"Yes, Military Secretary Zhou, you seem to care about Du Yong very much, and you often talk about him before."
Zhou Yan said lightly: "You all know that Boss Chen went to Pingzhou City some time ago."
Everyone nodded, and Chen Changfeng was ordered to go to Pingzhou City to do things. Everyone knew that although Chen Changfeng had not come back for so long, no one asked much, because the Fire Wolf Gang was expanding to Pingzhou, so it was time to be a little busy.
"Military Zhou, how about Boss Chen now?
"Did Boss Chen be so busy in Pingzhou that he forgot his brothers?"
"Boss Chen used to say that girls from Pingzhou are very excited and will not be trapped in brothels, right?"
"Hahaha!"
Looking at the subordinates who were smiling happily, Zhou Yan coughed lightly and said in a deep voice: "You may not believe it if you can't. I haven't received a letter from Boss Chen for a long time, nor have I heard any news from him, nor did he explain it."
Everyone was uproared. Of course they believed Zhou Yan's words, but were very shocked and a little panicked: "Mr. Zhou, what do you mean is that the superiors are dissatisfied with Boss Chen? So give him..."
Zhou Yan shook his head and explained: "During the battle in Pingzhou City, Boss Chen was in the city, and Du Yong and Yang Jin were there too. I think Boss Chen is likely to have been killed by Du Yong and Yang Jin. The reason why the above did not say that was that he did not want to increase the prestige of the court."
Someone immediately objected: "Why didn't Du Yong say it? This is a great contribution."
Zhou Yan sighed lightly: "As far as I know, Du Yong is very low-key and doesn't care much about credit. There is another possibility, that is, Du Yong did not recognize Boss Chen and threw the body into the fire and burned it away."
Everyone saw Zhou Yan’s more and more serious words, but they didn’t expect to refute it, so they were very confused.
Seeing this, Zhou Yan calmly said: "What I am talking about is just a possibility. I just want everyone to pay attention to Du Yong and Huaili Army. We must not suffer a great loss because of underestimating the enemy."
Everyone came to their senses and nodded. Zhou Yan was famously cautious, and it was normal to be careful.
Zhou Yan raised his glass: "What you said just now is right. You must not let the Huaili army be so arrogant. We must take the initiative to attack and kill all the hundreds of Huaili army members, so as to severely slaughter the morale of the court. We can also strengthen our reputation and be more beneficial to the future."
Everyone agreed loudly, and while drinking, they discussed how to attack.
However, at this moment, a small minion rushed in and said, "Not good, no good!"
Zhou Yan frowned and scolded: "What a moral character!"
The minion was furious and said angrily: "Mr. Zhou, our left warehouse was attacked by a sneak attack. More than a dozen masters suddenly came out and killed all the brothers standing guard."
Zhou Yan was furious and grabbed the minion's collar: "What did you say? Left Warehouse?"
The so-called left warehouse is the granary. It is located on the left side of this large nest. All the grain plundered in the few months is placed in the left warehouse. There are many brothers guarding it, but they will be destroyed by more than a dozen masters.
The minion nodded quickly: "It's Zuo Warehouse. The young man happened to be peeing at that time, so he escaped."
Zhou Yanqiang calmed down: "What are the characteristics of those masters?"
The minion thought for a while: "The speed is very fast, and he is extremely ruthless in his actions. He never thought about leaving a living."
Someone hissed: "Can't it be the zombie of the Holy Pill Sect?"
Although the Fire Wolf Gang and the Holy Dan Gang are both rebel gangs, their relationship is quite tense and there are conflicts between fighting for territory in Ganzhou and Pingzhou. There are no major conflicts, but there are still small fights or trips.
Zhou Yan was silent and asked after a while: "Did they ignite the fire?"
