Han Baihang's worries are not unreasonable. Now Boss Xie is spreading rumors on the road that he wants to unite the remaining bandits to deal with Han Baihang. On the other hand, he has begun to prepare supplies and is preparing to hit the door directly while Han Baihang is adapting.
Han Baihang personally reorganized this group of bandits, and the last batch of reformed recruits can finally say with pride that they are also veterans under the company commander Han Baihang.
No, Wu Laosi's village is now in full swing. Everyone knows that the war against bandits has reached its most critical moment, and everyone is firing on all cylinders.
The new recruits began to train. The first group of recruits were led by the engineer platoon leader to start remodeling all around the mountain, digging trenches and building many strong fortifications.
This group of new recruits were all very motivated, because Han Baihang once told them that after this battle, he would take them out of this hellish place and go somewhere else. So this group of new recruits became very impatient.
.
Zhou Qing and Liu Erhei were busy training new soldiers, so they relaxed their guard over Wucheng. However, Wucheng took advantage of the lax guard and slipped down the mountain.
Han Baihang walked around in a large circle, always feeling that something had been burned. After thinking about it carefully, he realized that Wucheng was missing. He called the guards to search in the stockade, only to find that there was no trace at all.
Han Baihang had no choice but to tell Xu Shihou and others the news. When Xu Shihou and others heard this, they became even more anxious.
Unexpectedly, at this juncture, Wu Cheng escaped. Han Baihang had no choice but to give up the idea of sending people down the mountain to search, and trained the new soldiers with peace of mind.
But he said that Boss Xie had summoned some small bandits from the surrounding areas, about fifty or sixty in number, and together with a group of more than five hundred bandits from Xie's village, they brought enough guns and ammunition to kill Wu Laosi on the top of the mountain.
coming.
While Han Baihang was still training his troops, he received news from a secret sentry lying in ambush at the foot of the mountain, saying that Boss Xie was coming with nearly 600 bandits.
After Xu Shihou heard the news, he hurriedly found Han Baihang and asked: "What should we do now? Boss Xie has probably brought all the people here to fight with us!"
"There is no other way. Tell the veterans to keep an eye on the new batch of soldiers. They must not cause any trouble for me. If necessary, they can be killed directly!" Han Baihang also chose this method out of desperation, because
Otherwise, what if those new recruits defected and gave themselves a shot?
"What about the previous batch of recruits?" Zhou Qing asked.
"They have integrated into us. I have to say that they are veterans, so just trust them." Han Baihang said confidently.
Xu Shihou and others couldn't help but think of the scenes of training and the scenes of fighting together, and they could really feel their transformation.
Han Baihang gave an order, and the whole village moved into action, and everyone entered the trenches.
The engineer platoon leader under Han Baihang is indeed unique. He ingeniously set up the trenches in a spiral shape from the mountainside to the top of the mountain, built bunkers in different places, and even specially plowed down the trees and shrubs below the mountainside.
Already.
As a result, everything was bare from the mountainside down, not even a bunker. When Boss Xie brought someone here to take a look, he was dumbfounded.
Forced to have no choice but to retreat to the foot of the mountain, Boss Xie also directed the bandits to start building fortifications in a decent manner.
However, according to Han Baihang's engineering platoon leader, it doesn't deserve to be called fortification, it's just children's play.
However, with many people and guns, Han Baihang could only watch the busy bandits from the mountainside, and did not dare to act rashly. Boss Xie also had a huge headache for Han Baihang. The bare mountain land in front of him was irritating Boss Xie all the time.
of nerves.
Boss Xie made some calculations. If he sent people to advance directly, he would probably become a direct target for Han Baihang's troops. If these more than 500 people rushed over, they would probably lose half of them. They had lost so much before the fight even started.
how to spell!
So the two gangs stared at each other across the mountain and faced each other, and the atmosphere became somewhat tense for a while.
At this moment, Boss Xie suddenly heard a noise.
"Where are you thanking the boss? I want to see you thanking the boss, thanking the boss!"
Boss Xie turned around and saw that two bandits were walking up on one person. When Boss Xie saw it, it turned out to be Wu Cheng.
Wu Laosi had brought Wucheng with him when he went to Xiejiazhai to pay homage to the dock. Therefore, Mr. Xie was somewhat familiar with Wucheng. When he saw it was him, he could not help but frown and said: "Let him go!"
Wu Cheng broke away from his captors and hurriedly ran towards Boss Xie.
"Thank you, boss, I am Wu Cheng, Wu Laosi's cousin, we have met before!" Wu Cheng said with an attentive look.
"I know you are Wu Cheng. If you have something to say, get out of here!" Boss Xie was currently thinking about how to attack the mountain and had no time to talk to him.
When Wu Cheng saw Boss Xie looking impatient, he rolled his eyes and had bad thoughts.
"Boss Xie, do you want to attack the mountain and kill Han Baihang!" Wu Cheng said fiercely.
When Wucheng came down the mountain alone, he secretly wanted to take revenge on Han Baihang, but he had no other choice. He was also afraid that Han Baihang would send people down the mountain to find him, so he hid in a cave at the foot of the mountain.
Boss Xie brought someone here but Wu Cheng saw it, so he came out of hiding and took the opportunity to deal with Han Baihang.
"Oh! Tell me, what can you do?" Boss Xie said with great interest when he heard what Wu Cheng said.
"This mountain has been transformed inside and out by the engineer platoon leader under Han Baihang. As long as he stays on top, it will be in a position that is easy to defend but difficult to attack." Wu Cheng talked eloquently.
"Nonsense, I know what you're talking about. Tell me what to do now. If you talk any more, I'll cut your tongue out!" Boss Xie is not a kind person, and he can see it now.
Wu Cheng saw that Boss Xie didn't look like he was lying, so he didn't dare to lie any more, and hurriedly said: "There is a tunnel at the foot of the mountain that leads to the mountain, and I ran down the mountain through this tunnel!"
When Boss Xie heard that Wucheng came down from the mountain, he said "oh". He was suspicious by nature and did not believe in Wucheng at all.
"It's said to be an tunnel, but it's actually a converted cave. It was done to escape for one's life when Wu Laosi was here. It's true!" Wu Cheng was afraid that Boss Xie wouldn't believe it, so he explained again.
"Take me to see it!" Boss Xie only believed in his own eyes and did not believe in Wu Cheng at all.
"Then you promise me something!" Wu Cheng stood still.
"You are the first to negotiate terms with me, but I am in a good mood today, so tell me!" Boss Xie said angrily.
Wu Cheng turned his head and looked at the mountain fiercely, and said with gritted teeth: "I want to chop off Han Baihang's head with my own hands!"
