Feng Guanglin refused to give up and asked closely: "When will it be returned?"
Han Baihang pondered for a moment and then swore firmly: "Now our army is stationed in Qingkou Town to prevent bandits, and we need this batch of weapons to supplement them. We will definitely return them when the bandits in Longshan Ji are suppressed."
Feng Guanglin was half-hearted. He had been dealing with officers and soldiers for half his life. How could he not know the urine of officers and soldiers? It would be strange not to delay the suppression of bandits for three to five months. Moreover, Han Baihang boasted that he would suppress Longshan Ji
, This is too overestimating one's capabilities. He knows that Han Baihang's officers, soldiers and militiamen combined only have only seven or eight hundred people, while the Longshan Ji bandits have thousands of people. The difference in strength is huge, and the chance of winning in a real fight is almost zero. So saying
This batch of ordnance would never come back, so his face couldn't help but cast a layer of gloom and he remained silent.
Han Baihang glanced at Feng Guanglin's face out of the corner of his eye, and sneered in his heart. Feng Guanglin was so ignorant. He had spent so many years in the world in vain. Didn't he know that these weapons would flow into the hands of the bandits through his own hands? Once the Shangfeng knew about it,
, this is a capital crime for being a bandit, how could he risk his life? Furthermore, he said that his mission in Yongcheng is to suppress bandits and put an end to chaos. Using bandits now is just a stopgap measure, and they will definitely be eradicated in the future. How can he send these guns for maintenance?
Tigers are in danger. But Han Baihang also knows the meaning of giving a sweet date a slap. Feng Guanglin is still of great use for the time being, and he still has to win over him. He suddenly laughed loudly and said to Feng Guanglin: "Master Feng, the weapons cannot be returned for the time being.
I give it to you, but I want to thank you for your help. This is a little bit of my gratitude, so please accept it."
As he spoke, he clapped his hands, and a soldier came in carrying a tray covered with red cloth. He presented it to Feng Guanglin. Then Han Baihang personally lifted the red cloth, revealing more than twenty gold bars contained in the tray.
.
Feng Guanglin's pupils shrank when he saw the bright yellow gold bars. He had been the king of the mountain for so many years. It was not that he had never seen gold and silver treasures, but this was the first time he saw so many gold bars at one time. He couldn't help but make a calculation in his mind. This
The gold bars in the tray were worth at least 50,000 oceans, which was far more valuable than the weapons that were confiscated. However, he was not too moved. He suddenly turned his head and looked at Han Baihang: "Captain Han, what if I don't accept this gold bar!"
Han Baihang's smile did not fade and he said meaningfully: "A smart person will definitely accept it."
Feng Guanglin stared at him expressionlessly for a long time, put the gold bars in his pocket without saying a word, and then walked out without looking back.
"Zhou Qing, let me send you to Master Feng." Han Baihang said.
After leaving the town, Feng Guanglin turned his horse and trotted forward for a while. Suddenly he turned and shouted at Zhou Qing: "Go back and tell Han Baihang that Feng has written down what happened today. We will meet again someday."
It's time." After saying these words, he whipped his horsewhip and left.
Zhou Qing watched Feng Guanglin disappear on the road with a sinister look. When he went back and saw Han Baihang, he said Feng Guanglin's words and frowned: "Company commander, Feng Guanglin's ambition is untamable. I think it is better to get rid of him as soon as possible and support a bandit that is easy to control."
Wouldn’t it be better?”
Han Baihang smiled lightly and said: "You are wrong. Being ambitious is not a bad thing."
Zhou Qing had a look of doubt on his face, and was about to ask what was going on when he suddenly heard the sound of hurried footsteps outside the door. The telegraph operator came in with a telegram in his hand and shouted urgently: "Company Commander, Captain Yang sent an urgent telegram from the county seat."
Han Baihang hurriedly took the message and looked at it. His expression suddenly changed and he shouted repeatedly: "It's broken, it's broken."
Zhou Qing asked: "Company commander, what happened?"
Han Baihang did not show him the telegram, but said in a deep voice: "This time Yongcheng's real situation is about to change. Ding Zuopeng has been assassinated."
Zhou Qing looked very shocked and asked quickly: "Who assassinated Ding Zuopeng?"
Han Baihang's eyes flashed with an inexplicable light and he said: "It may be the Red Spear Club, or it may be someone else."
Zhou Qing was stunned. He heard something in Han Baihang's words. It seemed that Ding Zuopeng's death was not that simple.
"One more thing, we fell into the bandits' trick." Han Baihang looked ugly and said quickly: "The attack on Yongcheng was a deception used by the bandits. Their real target is Zhecheng, a hundred miles away. Now Zhecheng has fallen.
, the bandits fought back and were about to reach the county seat."
Zhou Qing was taken aback and said hurriedly: "Company commander, please give the order to return to the county to support us quickly."
Han Baihang nodded, rushed out of the room, and shouted: "Commander, blow the assembly call. The whole army will discard their useless baggage and return to the county town lightly."
…
After a month and a half, Yongcheng was once again besieged by bandits. The difference from the last time was that Xue Lin had the experience of the last failure and carefully made arrangements to defend the city, allowing the arrogant bandits to eat under the city wall.
Although the bandits were indeed extraordinary, they immediately changed their siege tactics. Now it was Xue Lin's turn to be beaten into disgrace and had to defend the city with difficulty.
"Boom!"
There was a loud thunder in the south of the city, and a mushroom cloud exploded. The bandits actually used explosives to blow down a section of the city wall, and the roaring bandits rushed into the city from the gap.
"kill!"
The general reserve team in the city quickly rushed to the gap and came face to face with the bandits. The two sides exchanged fire fiercely. Then reinforcements from various city gates arrived. They paid huge casualties and finally drove the bandits out of the city. Although this force was driven out of the city,
The bandits were driven out of the city, but the offensive and defensive melee around the county continued until dusk. The bandits' attack failed to achieve results and they temporarily retreated. When it became dark, they began to attack the city again.
The fighting lasted until the early morning of the next day. The fierce fighting throughout the day and night exhausted both the bandits and the militia. The two sides temporarily stopped fighting, especially the militia, which lost nearly 20% of their troops.
At noon, Han Baihang led his troops to the south gate of the county and attacked the bandits here. The battle lasted not long, and bandit reinforcements rushed from the southwest with the intention of encircling them. Seeing that the opportunity was not good, Han Baihang hurriedly got out of the battle and headed towards
As they retreated from the west, they were pursued by bandits on the way and lost a lot of troops.
On a hilltop, Han Baihang got off his horse, took the water bottle from the guard, and took a few sips. His face looked ugly, and the platoon leaders around him also had their heads hunched and were in a bad mood.
"Isn't it just that I have suffered a defeat, so why do I need to be so worried about my heirs?" Han Baihang glared at the officers and sighed: "The failure of this battle is my fault. I underestimated the enemy and was careless. Let's talk about this.
A view of the battle.”
Platoon leader Han Leisan was the first to speak, and said angrily: "Company commander, our brothers fought well in this battle, and your command was not wrong. I only blame the group of cowards in the city. If the militiamen had fought out of the city at that time,
If we attack from both sides, we will definitely be able to defeat the bandits instead of being chased and beaten by them."
