On October 18th, Mopan City seemed calm and bustling with people coming and going as usual.
The shops at the foot of the mountain were crowded with people coming to shop, and various shouts came from the nearby market. Everyone knows that the people of Mopan City now have nothing to worry about eating and drinking, pheasants, hares, mushrooms, fungus and other delicacies.
, it can be exchanged for food.
There are many people visiting the castle.
What is different from usual is that most of the people who appear on horseback on the mountain road have fierce looks on their faces, and they reveal an unconcealed gangster spirit. Without exception, there are long packages hanging on their saddles, no need to ask.
Everyone knows there are weapons hidden inside.
Hundreds of thugs from the Villain's Village infiltrated into Mopan City, but as soon as they stepped into the city, they found countless pairs of vigilant eyes staring at them.
The roadside was filled with strong men holding sticks, maintaining order in the mountain city. On the road, cavalry patrols walked back and forth, each wearing iron armor and hanging steel knives on their waists. These were heavy cavalry, and they were all warriors selected from a hundred.
Half of the gangsters felt that they had no chance during the day, so they turned back halfway and left Mopan City. The other half braved their courage and came to the castle. When they saw the dragon flag flying high, Mopan City warriors stood a few meters apart, all over the castle, and they were all depressed.
Zhang Yi and Xiaolong were in the watchtower, using binoculars to observe the people going up the mountain. They could tell who was a tourist and who was a bandit. They could tell at a glance. Reciprocity comes from the heart, and good and evil are written on their faces.
"There are a lot of thieves here, Brother Yi, there are hundreds of them." Xiaolong said.
"Well, they couldn't find a chance to take action," Zhang Yi said with a smile, "There are obviously more people coming today. It seems that they are going to take action tonight."
"Let's do it quickly. Xiaohan and the others have been in ambush in Qingsha tent for two days. They have suffered enough." Xiaolong said, "The enemy couldn't find our large group of troops. They really thought that we had sent them to other strongholds to patrol."
This news has been out for two days, deliberately confusing the enemy and making them think that the main troops of Mopan City have gone out.
The villains are very cunning, but after two days of continuous observation, they should be convinced of this. The main force of the standing army is not in Mopan City. Only a few cavalry and infantry are left to guard Mopan City, and the rest are militiamen armed with sticks.
…
To the north of Mopan City, in the barren mountains more than ten miles away.
The gangsters from the Thirteen Villains' Village broke into pieces and rushed into the desolate ravine. They seemed to be densely packed, with more than 2,000 people in total.
Their weapons and clothing are of various kinds, and most of them have cyan or ocher-red patterns tattooed on their faces, mainly representing fierce and fierce beasts such as dragons, tigers, leopards, and wolves.
The bad impression that Old China, Greater China and Little China have on the Mopan City area, except for General Cao, is caused by these gangsters.
In fact, many gangsters used to follow General Cao, but the treatment General Cao gave them was not as good as if they had set up their own business. The overlord had so many powerful generals that they would never have a chance to show their face.
"We can't delay it any longer, brother, we have to take action tonight." Fan Jian, the leader of Tizi Village, shouted, "I don't know why you are hesitating. Do you have to wait for their main force to return to the city?"
"Brother, this battle is no small matter. If you want to fight, you must win." Guo Wei, the leader of Tianma Village, said with a look at him.
"The defense of Mopan City is still very tight, and there is no opportunity to take action during the day." Deng Chang, the leader of Beihong Village, said, "However, the opportunity cannot be missed, and we will take action tonight. I have arranged for dozens of brothers to live in the city.
Inside, wait for them to kill the guards at the entrance of the stone wall and set fire to them as a signal, then we can rush in and kill them all."
"Okay!" Fan Jian was satisfied now, but said a little worriedly, "It's no problem to fight from the bottom of the mountain to the top, but Zhang Yi's castle is closed at night, so it's difficult to attack!"
"Hey, there is no rush to attack the castle." Guo Wei said with a sly smile, "I have already thought about it. After we attack Mopan City, we will leave hundreds of people to guard the entrance and exit to prevent the main force from coming back. The remaining brothers will kill as many people as they can, regardless of gender.
They killed each other one by one, leaving hundreds of people behind and escorted them to the castle!"
"After killing them all, why are they left alive?" Fan Jian asked in surprise.
"You don't understand this, brother Fan Jian," Deng Chang said with a sly smile. "That Zhang Yi claims to love the people like a son, so we put a big knife on the necks of women and children and forced him to open the castle. I am against Zhang Yi
From what I understand, he will definitely do this!"
"Hahaha, hahaha," Fan Jian raised his head and laughed wildly, "Every brother is really smarter than the other. Let's capture the castle. There is endless gold and endless food in it, and we are not afraid of Zhang Yi's main army.
Come and attack, hahaha!"
"Ha, what a joke, where is Zhang Yi's main force?" Guo Wei said disdainfully, "If we kill Zhang Yi, his men will have no choice but to surrender and have no choice. These mountains and rivers belong to our brothers!"
The thirteen village owners laughed together.
…
There are no brainy robbers in the world. Such people are naturally barbaric and cruel, and their IQ is no better than that of wild beasts.
There was no place to sleep in Mopan City, so the gangsters who stayed in the city had to stay in hotels under the pressure of patrols.
Dozens of people were led into the newly built large brick house, which was filled with wooden beds on two floors. One room could accommodate 24 people, and they occupied two rooms.
These gangsters pretended not to know each other, and when they were led into a room, they wondered why they were all members of the same group.
This is a newly built prison, and these guys have been targeted for a long time and arranged together.
There were iron bars on the narrow windows, and even the thick wooden doors were covered with iron sheets. Only a weak oil lamp was lit at night, so the gangsters didn't notice.
When the door was locked from the outside, they realized something was wrong and the door couldn't be pulled open at all.
Zhang Yi, Xiaolong, Niu Ben and Shi Gan came to the prison as dead brothers, surrounded by a group of soldiers holding torches.
The guard opened the door of a brick house, and the gangsters rushed out brandishing their weapons. One of them rushed out and the other was beaten to death. Niu Ben and Shi Gandang stood outside like two door gods, one on the left and one on the right, holding an iron fist and an eight-edged hammer.
Whatever you do, you will never fail.
"Hurry up, you bastards!" Niu Ben scolded.
"Haha, what a bunch of stupid thieves. Brother Yi, the hero of Mopan City, is here. Anyone who doesn't want to die can crawl out of here for me!" Shi Gandang shouted.
The gangsters were immediately frightened. Brothers Zhang Yi, who had killed the overlord General Cao, came in person. No matter how stupid they were, they knew that the plan to raid Mopan City had been discovered. They quickly dropped their weapons and lay on the ground obediently, like insects.
Climb out the door as well.
Xiaolong interrogated them, and the gangsters confessed their plans in unison.
"Light a fire as a signal?" Zhang Yi laughed loudly, "Okay, then we will light a fire as a signal. Daniel, go and light up the beacon!"
"Lord of heroes, aren't you seeking death by doing this?" A dumbfounded gangster shouted, "Your main force is not in Mopan City. If you get more aggressive, more than 2,000 people from thirteen villages will come to kill you.
He’s dead!”
"You are looking for death!" Shi Gandang shouted, and he picked up the eight-edged hammer and wanted to kill him.
"Don't kill him, Xiaoshi," Zhang Yi stopped him with a smile, "He means well, but he just can't speak."
