Warlords: Conquer the world from the county magistrate

The thin man was worried that the situation was critical and he didn't know how to break the impasse.

Suddenly hearing the boss's idea, he thought it was a good idea, and said, "Okay, big boss, you have to hurry up, I may not be able to hold on for long."

"You come with me and guard the main gate, waiting for the boss to attack the enemy from behind." The third brother pointed to a group of bandits and said seriously.

Seeing the third brother leading his men forward, Li Wenbiao and the second brother looked at each other, and silently led their men to escape to the side path.

The enemy's firepower was so strong, and they only had box guns and some old rifles in their hands. They were foolish enough to rush forward and fight desperately.

The third brother had a good idea. As soon as he led his men to rush out, he was encountered by submachine gun fire and was killed on the spot.

Seven or eight of the bandits he led were also killed, and the rest dropped their weapons, squatted on the ground, and shouted: "Don't kill me, I surrender, I surrender."

"Have a squat position by the wall, don't get hurt accidentally." The soldier said, and continued to rush into the interior of the mountain stronghold.

There were nearly three hundred bandits in the entire mountain stronghold, and thirty or forty of them were killed in the artillery fire.

Dozens more were killed by rifles, machine guns, and submachine guns, and most of the rest surrendered. Among those who surrendered, more than a hundred were wounded.

Some were shot, others were injured by artillery explosions.

A soldier said: "There are no more bandits in the mountain stronghold who are resisting. They are either being killed or captured alive."

"Don't be careless. Shoot the corpse again. It would be bad if you encounter someone pretending to be dead and get ambushed." Another person reminded.

Second Battalion Commander Liu Changyi was very happy when he walked into the stronghold. The two battalions attacked together, and he, as the main attacker, captured the stronghold alone, leaving the cooperating Third Battalion to watch and eat dust. It was an indescribable feeling of comfort.

The third battalion commander, Peng Yunguang, walked in with a gloomy face: "Old Liu, how is it, have you caught the bandit leader?"

Liu Changyi grinned and said, "We are looking for him. He is probably either hiding among those who were captured alive or he was beaten to death."

"Hmph, don't be careless. It would be bad if the bandit leader escapes." Peng Yunguang said coldly.

Liu Changyi felt that Peng Yunguang was jealous of him. He waved his hands and said, "How is that possible? My people rushed in and ended the battle in less than ten minutes. How could the bandit leader escape?"

As soon as Liu Changyi finished speaking, gunshots were heard from the flank. Peng Yunguang laughed: "Don't say it's impossible. The bandit leader must have fled in that direction."

"Lao Liu, you continue to stay here and clean up the battlefield. The people from the third battalion, chase with me."

Liu Changyi secretly blamed himself for his bad mouth. He just said that the bandit leader could not escape, and then a gunfight broke out from the side, which made him very depressed.

Li Wenbiao and his second brother ran out of the mountain village and had just run a few hundred meters. They were in a panic and had no idea which way to go when gunshots were heard in front of them. The people leading the way were shot to pieces.

This frightened Li Wenbiao. He shrank his head, hid in the crowd and said, "Brothers, retreat quickly."

Fortunately, he was careful and did not walk in front, otherwise he would have been beaten to death.

"Boss, what should we do? We are surrounded." The second brother also hid beside Li Wenbiao and asked.

Although he was panicking, Li Wenbiao still managed to stay calm and said, "We can go around the mountain from the stronghold to the back mountain. There is no road in the back mountain. If we hide in the mountain, the enemy will not be able to do anything to us even if they have more people."

Seeing the eldest brother so confident, the second brother also calmed down a little. Unfortunately, they didn't feel proud for long, because they retreated more than a hundred meters and more than a hundred people came out from the direction of the mountain village.

Li Wenbiao turned around and saw the pursuers approaching from behind. He couldn't help but show despair on his face.

Seeing that there were people in front and behind, and they were all soldiers in military uniforms, most of the bandits put down their weapons and knelt on the ground.

"Get up, damn it." Li Wenbiao said angrily.

"Crack, snap."

Seeing that the bandits on the ground did not get up, he fired two shots and killed one bandit. Just as he was about to intimidate other bandits, machine gun fire rang out and he was hit by several bullets in the chest.

There were not many people standing to begin with, and those who were standing became sitting ducks and were shot to death.

Only the second oldest was clever. He squatted on the ground with everyone else and escaped the disaster.

The bandits squatting on the ground were surrounded by Peng Yunguang, Sun Yuhua and their men. Peng Yunguang laughed and said, "Okay, Old Sun, you got a bargain."

"We are all working for the commander, there is no question of taking advantage of others." Sun Yuhua looked serious.

Peng Yunguang curled his lips and stopped joking with him.

When Fang Jian led the rest of the men into the stronghold, a fire had already broken out in the stronghold. Most of the soldiers had retreated and had no intention of putting out the fire.

Fang Jian secretly felt regretful that after the fire, most of the supplies were gone except for gold and silver.

He ordered, "Leave a team behind to check supplies after the fire is out, and the rest of you count the casualties and return to the city in ten minutes."

Zhang Wei hurried down to count the casualties and arrange for a count of the prisoners.

"Commander, in this battle we lost two people and injured four, all of them were slightly injured." After a while, Zhang Wei came to report.

Fang Jian nodded to indicate that he understood. With such a big fire, it was difficult to count the casualties of the bandits. Ten minutes later, the group took the captives to the main road and got on a truck parked on the road to return to the city.

After returning to the county town, Tao Yunong came running over. He found Fang Jian and said, "Commander, something happened."

"Don't panic, Yunong, tell me slowly, what happened?" Fang Jian asked when he saw Tao Yunong so anxious.

Tao Yunong said: "Zhu Yaoxiang and Ma Jincen started a war."

"What?" Fang Jian was really shocked.

He asked, "What happened? Do you have any more detailed information?"

Tao Yunong nodded and introduced: "The adjutant beside Zhu Shenghui injured Zhu Shenghui and then fled back to the governor's mansion. Zhu Yaoxiang then realized that the man was a hidden man planted by Ma Jincen next to his son."

"Zhu Shenghui sent people to ask Ma Jincen for an explanation. Ma Jincen's three divisions suddenly launched an attack on Zhu Shenghui."

Tao Yunong narrowed his eyes, thinking that this adjutant could be the same person he saw last time.

"Is Zhang Guilin just going to sit back and do nothing? Moreover, isn't Ma Jincen afraid of Zhang Guilin's sneak attack?" Fang Jian asked in confusion.

Tao Yunong said helplessly: "We have not detected any signs that Zhang Guilin has sent out troops again. As for their decision-making, we are currently unable to access it."

Fang Jian understood very well that it was fine to let them gather some intelligence normally, but it was completely impossible to send spies to other people's senior levels as the Intelligence Department had only been established for a few months.

Afterwards, Fang Jian's eyes flickered, he was somewhat excited and somewhat worried, and he could not make up his mind.

"Zhang Sheng, call Zhang Wei, Fang Guoxuan, Shen Liren, Guo Weizhan, Zhuang Jiwu, and Shao Wenli to come to the meeting." Fang Jian ordered.

When Zhang Sheng went to call for help, Fang Jian asked anxiously, "Yu Nong, what do you think about us attacking Fenglin City at this time?"

Tao Yunong was shocked and frightened by Fang Jian's idea.
