Most people know that bandits and robbers usually place their stronghold or lair in a dangerous place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. For example, Qi Laoliu, who had an enmity with Wang Huzi, built his bandit lair on the so-called line of sky.
A dangerous place.
And this Iron Lock Gang's lair has been managed by several generations. It is backed by a mountain on one side and facing water on the other. It seems to be a good place with mountains and rivers, but the mountain it is backed by is actually a cliff hundreds of meters high.
, there is no way down the mountain. The water it faces is also a shallow swamp covered with reeds, called Quelongtan.
This means that even the dragon is trapped in it and cannot get out. There are various hidden waterways crisscrossing the place. For those who are not familiar with it, let alone a copycat, it will be good if you can ensure that you don’t get lost and can exit with all your beards and tails.
In such a dangerous place, the county magistrate, who could only talk on paper, led his security team and dozens of small boats to rush in.
As a result, not only were the floating bandits killed and injured more than a dozen people by taking advantage of the terrain, but even the county magistrate almost fell into the water and fed the bastard. In the end, not even a single figure of the water bandit was seen, so he retreated in embarrassment.
After this battle, Floating on the Water became even more famous.
Think about it, even the government officials have been beaten to pieces by me, who will dare to mess with me in the future?
Since then, in Pengze County, floating on the water has become a more intimidating force than the government.
Although the government is corrupt, as long as you are filial at all times and pay taxes honestly, they will generally not trouble you.
But this group of vicious water bandits from the Tiesuo Gang don't tell you any rules. They are interested in your family's money and your eldest daughter and daughter-in-law. That's because Mr. Piao gives you face and thinks highly of you. If you don't obediently come to your door, then wait.
Let the whole family die.
This is true for people in my hometown, but it is even more cruel to treat passing merchant ships.
The rule floating on the water is that as long as I raise the banner of the Iron Lock Gang, no matter which merchant ship you belong to, you must stop obediently and wait for me to go up and grab it.
Even so, it depends on Master Piao's mood that day. If he's in a good mood, he might not kill anyone and just snatch away the goods. If he's in a bad mood, he'll have to draw one out of ten or one out of five and behead them as a sacrifice to the river god.
.
And if you don't stop the ship and run as fast as you can, once you catch up, you will kill them all, and even the cargo ship will be burned to the ground.
By now, the cruel reputation of Floating on the Water has spread throughout the Jiujiang area. Even some local tycoons and bullies who have more people and guns than him dare not easily provoke him. In Pengze County, he has become a man who can stop children from crying at night.
He was the overlord of the underworld. People in the world gave him another nickname, Iron Lock Hengjiang.
But this time, the Iron Lock Hengjiang met the nemesis of the bandits, because the first water bandit force Zhou Wen dealt with was the Iron Lock Gang.
In fact, when Zhou Wen was in Shanghai, he had already heard about the name Iron Lock Hengjiang from the Qing Gang.
Because during this period, the Green Gang not only dominated Shanghai, but also had a great influence in East China. Many Green Gang disciples spread their branches in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Even in Jiangxi, Anhui and other provinces, there were Green Gang semicolons or vassal gangs, and even
He also has connections with the Brother Pao Society in Sichuan, so generally both the black and white gangs have to give face to the Green Gang.
However, the Tie Suo Gang controlled by Shui Piao did not give any face to the Qing Gang. They even robbed the Qing Gang's cargo ship and even killed people. This created a conflict with the Qing Gang.
So when he heard that Zhou Wen was going to deal with the Tiesuo Gang, Mr. Du not only revealed all the details of the Tiesuo Gang, but also sent several Qinggang disciples who were from the Jiujiang area and were familiar with the local terrain to guide him. Only then did he easily find the Tiesuo Gang where they were trapped.
Longtan’s lair.
Some people here may ask, how come a few Youth Gang disciples are more familiar with the reed marsh where even the local security team gets lost than they are?
In fact, Zhou Wen didn't take the waterway at all.
Just kidding, no matter how powerful Zhou Wen's combat power is, they still understand the principle of specializing in skills. Going to an area with intertwined waterways and unfamiliar terrain to fight a group of water bandits who are experienced in water battles, let alone whether they can destroy the enemy.
Even his own casualties and losses are insignificant. Although Zhou Wen is confident, he will never be reckless or arrogant. Ever since time travel, Mr. Zhou has never done anything to suffer a loss.
What is the mercenary group good at? Of course it is land warfare. And mountain warfare in land warfare is the brothers' specialty.
It is not a big deal for Zhou Wen and his brothers whether the mountains are steep and difficult to navigate, or whether there are cliffs and abyss to find a way out.
If there is no way, I will find a way for you.
Therefore, the hundreds of meters high cliff barrier that the Tiesuo Gang relied on became the most suitable sneak attack route for Zhou Wen and the others.
Recently, it is the rainy season, the sky is covered with dark clouds, and it is even more difficult to see at night. This is exactly the advantage of the mercenary group's strong night fighting ability.
As the saying goes: In a dark and windy place at night, it is the time to kill.
So, in the dark night three days ago, a team of more than a dozen people slinged down from the cliff. First, Zhang Xiaoping and Zhou Wen quietly touched the waterside at the entrance of the cottage, and tied the ropes together with a fire.
Dozens of wooden boats were burned completely, cutting off the escape route for these water bandits.
The rest is very simple. Miaohua took advantage of the chaos in the cottage and the bandits were panicking, and led everyone to launch a surprise attack from behind the cottage. Zhou Wen and Zhang Xiaoping's two Suomi assault rifles sealed the gate of the bandits, and they were caught in a trap.
.
It took the brothers less than twenty minutes to wipe out the water bandits' den with about 100 people.
In this battle, Zhou Wen left no one alive except the women.
Not only are these people all ferocious water bandits with countless innocent people's blood on their hands, but Zhou Wen's trip is here to establish his authority, and he must show his iron-bloodedness and ruthless methods to the various surrounding forces.
.
As for letting these women go, on the one hand, most of them are women from good families who were plundered by water bandits. Zhou Wen naturally does not want to kill innocent people indiscriminately. On the other hand, Mr. Zhou needs someone to kill the Tiesuo Gang overnight as soon as possible.
The news of the demolition was released.
After daybreak, I counted the corpses and found a total of 108. After asking for information, I found out that Shui Piao was actually a hero after learning from Liangshan, and decided that the Tiezou Gang would only accept 108 people. Now, 108 'heroes'
, not one of them ran away.
Before Zhou Wen evacuated, he asked his brothers to chop off the heads of these 108 "heroes" and hang them all on wooden stakes at the entrance of the village.
Then a flagpole was erected among the wooden piles, with a large, fluttering flag hanging on it. In the center of the flag, a ferocious-looking tiger was wandering in the wind, as if it could jump out of the flag at any time, making people feel
The hope is frightening.
This is how Zhou Wen established his power.
No registration number, no identity revealed. In fact, there is no way to register, what Tiger Defense Company? Who knows what it means?
Just kill them all the way, thrust the tiger flag straight into the hearts of the water bandits, and your calves will tremble when you see the flag.
