Chapter 324 Intercept (1)

In the first month of the year, he went to investigate the two brothers Chen Hu and Chen Biao who tasted the sweetness of private salt. Not only was he not afraid of the bandits, but he felt that the world was as chaotic as possible. He felt that the world was in chaos and that the two brothers had the opportunity to make achievements. So he volunteered to come to the West Bank and was entrusted with important tasks and transformed into a long life.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I left Daqiao Town, I was blocked by the fleeing people and stopped several people and found out that the bandits had divided their troops out of the city early in the morning to sweep the regiment training in the surrounding Zhuang Town and collect military supplies and oil. The road was less than five miles away from Daqiao Town!

Chen Hu didn't dare to be careless and turned around and asked, "Mr. Wu, what should we do now? Will we still go and find Mr. Zhang from the Yanyun Department?"

Wu Wenming looked up at the surroundings and said coldly: "The bandits have already been killed here, which means that the young and strong men he summoned have been defeated again. Maybe they have already died in the country. We don't have to worry about him. Hurry up and destroy the bridge in front of us, so that the bandits can't drive in."

"Abide by the order!"

Wu Wenming thought for a while and said, "Chen Biao, take twenty people to collect the boats in the river ahead. If there is no boat, see how the bandits cross the river! Four pillars, Xinmin, it is time for you to atone for your sins. Take your bird guns to guard the bridge. When you see the bandits, you will fire the guns and aim for me!"

"I know!" Wu Sizhu and Wu Xinmin and other Wu family members who survived did not dare to be greedy for life and fear death, so they immediately rushed over with their bird guns.

Seeing that no subordinate escaped at the last minute and was busy, Wu Wenming breathed a sigh of relief, walked to the bridge and looked at it, then turned around and asked, "What's your name?"

Liu Dasheng, the ruthless man from Qutangtuan Township, who only had a spear but no sled hammer and other tools to destroy bridges, hurriedly said: "Report to Mr. Wu, the youngest surname is Liu, and his name is Liu Dasheng."

"Don't worry about it here, hurry back and report to Mr. Han that the thieves have arrived in Daqiao Town."

"yes!"

"Run quickly, delaying the military plane to take you, is it a question!"

"The little one knows."

"etc."

"Mr. Wu, what else do you have to give?"

"Report to Mr. Han, I said that there are three rivers from here to the town, and five rivers from the town to Liaojiagou. I will quickly destroy the bridge and ship, and then use these five rivers to block them. I just don't know how many thieves and bandits came, and I don't know how long it will be blocked. Please prepare early!"

"yes."

After sending Liu Dasheng away, Wu Wenming walked to the riverside, clasped the knife tightly and said vigorously: "Brothers, this river is not wide, only three or four feet long, but there are neither bridges nor boats. It is not that easy for the bandits to come over! Everyone worked harder and quickly smashed the stone bridge, and then caught the bandits off guard with their leisure time."

The main purpose of coming here is to stop the thieves and bandits. They are not here to fight against them, so they brought a lot of iron hammers, stone hammers, crowbars and other tools to destroy the bridge. Chen Hu stood at the bottom of the slope and swung a hammer to smash the bridge pier, while panting: "Master Wu, across the river, we can't reach the thieves, and bandits can't reach us either. Whether they can catch the thieves and bandits off guard depends entirely on those brothers with bird guns. You have to be careful, don't run away when you see the thieves and bandits later."

The village heroes who came from the Hai'an Group all fought with private owls. They also heard that the Wu family's children on the shore were afraid of death, and looked down on Wu Sizhu and Wu Xinmin and other children from Wujiazhuang from the bottom of their hearts. So when Chen Hu spoke, the village heroes who were working suddenly burst into laughter.

The children of Wujiazhuang are all from the Wu family, and they lose the Wu family's face.

Wu Wenming's old face turned red, and he turned around and stared at the young masters in Wujiazhuang and said coldly: "Master, I'll be guarding the bridge to supervise the battle. Whoever dares to escape at the last minute will be killed!"

How could Jiang Ming, who also came from Hai'an, not know what Chen Hu was thinking? He sent a sentence while the iron was hot: "Master Wu, you don't have any eyes when you go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, let alone the lead from the bird gun. Before coming, Mr. Han told me that anyone could get into trouble, but you can't get into trouble. You must not stand here later, so you must lean back. As for the thieves, let's deal with it."

Wu Wenming subconsciously asked: "You don't have a bird gun, how can you deal with it?"

"Just let them give us the shotgun. Mr. Wu, I'm not bragging to you. Although we are not accustomed to being in a long battle, we have also been in battle with Mr. Han and have seen blood!"

Chen Hu had long been eyeing the bird guns in the hands of the Wu family's children, and did not dare to ask for them in the camp. The bandits were about to kill him, so he could not miss this opportunity. He simply stuffed the hammer into the hands of the brother behind him, climbed up the shore and said, "Master Wu, when it comes to killing people, you have to rely on us, they don't have the courage."

The Wu family now has only these eight children and only nine bird guns left.

Wu Wenming was reluctant to give up the bird gun from his heart, but when he thought that the words of these village heroes made some sense, he couldn't help asking: "Chen Hu, will you use the bird gun?"

"Everyone of our Hai'an team can use it, but we don't have enough guns, so we can only use knives and spears."

"Really?"

"What do you lie to you? If you don't believe me, please ask Mr. Han."

It was about to fight with the bandits, and now it was not a petty time. Wu Wenming weighed it and turned around and said, "Sizhu, Xinmin, hand over the bird gun to the brothers of Hai'an Group!"

Wu Sizhu asked with a bitter face: "Master Six, give them the shotgun, then what should we use?"

"You help install gunpowder and lead." Wu Wenming thought for a while and said, "If the bandits also have bird guns, they can also attack us on the other side. If the brothers of Hai'an Group are injured by the bandits' bird guns, you can take the bird gun and continue to fuck the bandits!"

"oh."

As soon as Wu Sizhu finished speaking, Chen Hu said again: "Master Wu, if the bandits have more bird guns than us and fight farther than us, then we can't fight. We will run away if we put a row of guns and change places to fight them."

Wu Wenming suddenly remembered what Han Xiufeng said before leaving, and pondered: "It's okay, we will act according to the opportunity later."

The bridge in front of me was called a stone bridge, but it was actually a brick-built arch bridge. It was just covered with stone slabs on the bridge and stone blocks were pressed on both sides. Dozens of township heroes worked together from both ends of the bridge, smashing and prying. After a while, they heard a rumbling sound of the bridge falling into the river, splashing water.

The village hero on the other side did not dare to stay for a long time, so he looked back and immediately took a boat back to the east coast.

Thinking that only nine bird guns could hit the other side after a while, Wu Wenming walked over and discussed: "Chen Hu, why don't we divide our troops into two groups and leave thirty people here to block them, and the others will destroy the bridges in the east, otherwise the bandits would not have time to destroy the bridges in the east after they were killed."

Chen Hu has always envied Ji Daji Er for having a bird gun, but now he finally has it. He aimed at it while holding the gun and laughing: "It's good, but you have to leave a few boats for us, otherwise we will not be able to go back if the bridge is destroyed."

"Don't worry, I'll leave a boat for you."

As they were talking, dozens of people ran to the other side and found that the bridge was gone. They found that the officers and soldiers on the other side were dragging two boats to the shore and shouting for help eagerly.

"I'm sorry, the boat cannot go down the river now. You can go south or north. The bandits came to Daqiao Town. Even if you cross the river, it's useless even if you reach the bridge." Chen Biao, who had just run a long way along the river and did not find any other boats on the river, replied.

"Go to the south?" a commoner asked subconsciously.

"It's better to go to the north. I heard that there are thieves in the south."

"Little brother, please, why don't we cross the river first and we go north on the other side."

"No, the boat has been towed up, and I can't put it down."

It was related to whether the life could be saved. Chen Biao and Chen Hu were unmoved. Even if the people on the other side said they would not be able to pay, the people who ran to the bridge had no choice but to carry their luggage and carry their families to the north along the river bank. Until the people walked away, Chen Hu suddenly realized that he had forgotten to ask where the bandits were. He was about to send someone to chase them from the east bank to ask, but there was a burst of rapid footsteps coming from the west.

"Brothers, the deal is coming, give me some cleverness!" Chen Hu looked back and took the bird gun to the boat that had just been dragged to the bridge, holding the gun tightly at the other side.

Chen Biao just went to collect the civilian boats, and he had no share in gathering nine bird guns. He could only take other brothers without a bird gun to find cover on both sides of the bridge.

Chen Hu really knows how to fire guns, and has touched a firefish gun like this more than once, but the gunpowder is too precious. Datou and Ji Daji have only taught them how to put it, but they have never let them go seriously, so they can't help but feel a little nervous.

"Your name is Sizhu?" he asked licking his lips.

Wu Sizhu, who was waiting to help fill the gunpowder and lead, was stunned and said quickly: "Yes, my name is Sizhu."

"Sizhu, is this shotgun bought by your Wu family good?"

"This bird gun was bought by Mr. Six sent someone to Shanghai County to manage foreigners. It costs more than 100 taels of silver per pole and five taels of gunpowder per barrel. Of course it works!"

"Then have you let it go before?"

"Let it go, let it go several times, it's so easy to fight far!"

"Just work, squat down and don't show your head. I'm still waiting for you to help me install a gun. You can't just eat the thief's gun before it."

"Oh." Wu Sizhu suddenly felt that this bandit-like man was not bad, so he squatted down and hid behind the boat and couldn't help but remind him: "Brother Chen, be careful too."

"What can I do? I haven't seen anything. Just take care of yourself." Thinking of what Mr. Han said to the brothers who used the bird gun in the regiment in the morning, Chen Hu looked up and said, "Jiang Ming, Lao Wu, listen to my order later. I will release the gun when I want to release the gun, and let it go together. If you want to fire, fire the gun, don't let it go as soon as you see the bandits."

"I know, we all listen to you."

While talking, a group of people flocked to the bridge on the other side. Just like before, they saw the bridge disappearing and cried and shouted, and some even jumped over the river and swam over.

No one knew whether the person who swam over was a spy. Chen Hu didn't dare to be careless, and he held the shotgun tightly and turned around and said, "Dragon, let the few who swam over be for you to ask them out."
