The sun was shining outside the house, Pang Zi stood in the middle of the courtyard and looked around, between the men and women of the hundred and ten people formed an encirclement from far or near, and the center of the encirclement was the small courtyard used to entertain Pang Zi and others. These people either looked nervous, or angry, or smug. In the face of an extreme numerical advantage, the villagers still felt that they had a chance to win.

It is not the first time that Pang Zi has been surrounded by so many people, and there have been many larger-scale scenes in the battles he fought back then. But this was the first time he had encountered such a disparity in power between the two sides. Five people, including Pang Zi's wife, faced twenty times the enemy. In such an unfavorable situation, Pang Zi felt disheartened. These villagers must have a deep hatred for the bandits in the cottage, right? Pang Zi himself has not oppressed the village, and he is not clear about the grievances of these people. Pang Zi was also unclear about the villagers' attitude towards him.

The villagers near the houses were armed with weapons ranging from earthen spears, spears, and knives to sticks and hoes. To Pang Zi's reassurance, none of these weapons could shoot accurately. Pang Zi has two shell guns in his hands and a rifle on his back, and if he really fights, he can pull a few cushions on his back. Anyway, the worst ending is to die. It's not bad to have someone on your back. Thinking of this, Pang Zi's desperate mood suddenly relaxed a lot.

Pang Zi shouted at the villagers: "Everyone, I, Pang Zi and these brothers, have no grievances with everyone on weekdays, and we don't want to care about you and those people in the cottage." If it weren't for your men kneeling on the ground and having dragged us here, I would have gone out of the mountain with my brothers a long time ago. Now we still have to go, are you going to let us go? ”

The villagers couldn't answer such a concise request for a while, they looked at the guys in Pang Zi's hands and back, although they had never seen these new firearms, but everyone subconsciously felt that these things that looked very good were just afraid that they would not be easy to deal with. Everyone's eyes fell on a short-haired young man in the crowd. Seeing that everyone looked at him, the short-haired young man did not retreat, he took a few steps forward and shouted at Pang Zi: "King Huge, you are the leader of this cottage, although you haven't done anything, but we can't just believe your words." ”

But it's a short-haired one! Pang Zi sneered in his heart, Chen Ke has short hair, Chen Tianhua has short hair, these two people are revolutionaries, and they can be regarded as having real skills. But I don't know how capable the short-haired young man in front of him is. Thinking of this, Pang Zi laughed, "You can ask your people, if he hadn't knelt on the ground and dragged me alive to help, I would have left a long time ago." Things have come to this point, and you have made your words clear. If you say that you originally wanted my Pang Zi's life, then let's see a real chapter on the knife and gun, and everyone lives and dies. It's also painful. ”

These are Pang Zi's heart's words, since things have come to this point, there is not much hope for good, if Pang Zi can't reach a real agreement with these people, the other party will definitely do everything possible to take the lives of his own people. Rather than passively meet the enemy's sneak attack, it is better to simply rely on the advantage of weapons to kill. This is the experience that Pang Zi has accumulated from birth and death, and this is the lesson that Pang Zi has summed up from countless failures when he fought against powerful enemies with ordinary people. After all, the villagers are not officers and soldiers, they have courage when there are many people, but as long as the enemy is not overwhelmed by the momentum of the villagers at all, but fiercely attacks the villagers, as long as the villagers are killed and wounded and a number of people are frustrated, they will not have the courage to continue fighting. Only in this case can Pang Zi be able to rush out. Thinking of this, Pang Zi pulled off the pistol head with both hands, and as long as he didn't agree with a word, he decided to fight desperately.

The young man watched Pang Zi pull open the nose of the barge gun, and saw that Pang Zi's face became extremely calm, and he understood that he was going to fight hard. Whether people have to make up their minds to play with their lives is completely different in momentum, although there are many villagers outside, Pang Zi is just one person, but his gaze swept over the surrounding villagers, and the awe-inspiring murderous aura that converged made many sensitive villagers feel a chill behind them. Because Pang Zi is not looking at people, but at the vital points of everyone, and he is observing who is the first target.

"Huge King, you wait." The youth shouted. He is not an uninformed person, once Pang Zi is activated, he really will not stop. Although the young man did not believe that Pang Zi could win, the villagers would definitely suffer heavy casualties. Now that most of the bandits have been killed, a complete victory is within reach, and there is absolutely no need for so many losses at this time.

"Say." Pang Zi coldly dropped a sentence, he made up his mind at this time, as long as the other party did not agree to go by himself in the next sentence, then Pang Zi would fire regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one.

The young man intuitively felt the danger, and although he didn't know where the danger came from, he just felt that he couldn't say anything wrong anyway.

"King Huge, I'll let you go." The youth shouted.

"How to get there?" Pang Zi asked.

"You let the man in our house go, and I'll take you hostage." The young man said loudly.

Pang Zi originally thought that everyone couldn't talk about anything, no matter what rhetoric the other party used to deceive himself, Pang Zi decided to fight. He never imagined that the young man would say such a sentence. Pang Zi hesitated, looking at the appearance of this young man, he should be the leader. If this young man is taken hostage, maybe he will be able to get out.

But Pang Zi is not a little doll after all, and he doesn't believe that this young man is really willing to cooperate so much. He said, "You and I go into the house first, and let's make it clear." ”

When the villagers heard this, they immediately became noisy, "How old are you?" You say let people into the house and enter the house? ”

"Brother Zhou, don't believe the words of the bandits."

"There are so many of us, what are we afraid of?"

The young man saw that the situation was already out of control, and he hurriedly shouted: "Father, fellow villagers, don't be afraid, the huge king and these bandits are not completely together. So I went into the house with him. After speaking, the young man raised his two hands and walked towards Pang Zi. Pang Zi immediately raised two shell guns and pointed them at the young man's chest, and the young man smiled, strode around Pang Zi and entered the house. Although he still didn't believe in the young man in his heart, Pang Zi still followed up with the house.

Pang Zi's brothers tied up the young man without saying a word, and the young man did not resist and let them do it. Pang Zi sat at the table and let his brother look at the door, and then asked, "What is your name and what do you want to do?" ”

"In the next week, Wencai, I used to study outside, and I didn't come back long. This time the cottage was planned. Zhou Wencai replied neatly.

"Sure enough." Pang Zi sneered, "Then what are you going to do?" ”

"King Pang, I asked the man who went to the cottage, and he did say that you were leaving. Let's tell you the truth, we are going to wipe out the bandits, but we never expected that you would put a table full of wine and meat without eating or drinking. Don't even look at it. If it had been someone else, it would have been suspicious for a long time, or it would have been eating and drinking. You're not a bandit. ”

Pang Zi was not interested in these compliments, he shouted: "Don't talk nonsense, what should I do if I say it quickly?" ”

Zhou Wencai smiled: "Huge King, I just want to ask you a word, you really don't want to stay here?" Will you never come back? ”

"What are you coming back for? Be a bandit? Pang Zi replied angrily.

"You can ride the horse, don't think about it. Several of our villages have been contacted, and we have wiped out all the people who have come out, and the village on the mountain has already been attacked. ”

Pang Zi immediately scolded: "Let your mother's fart, there is no entanglement, how can I go." Bandit robbery along the way? ”

Zhou Wencai really didn't think about this matter perfectly, in fact, he thought about what to do if Pang Zi became suspicious first at the wine table, or what to do if he didn't have doubts. But I really didn't expect that Pang Zi was not interested in eating and drinking, but was bent on leaving quickly. Since this change was not calculated, all the original designs were lost. Zhou Wencai just groaned a little, and then he had a calculation, "We have some mountain goods here, you can take them with you." It's as a reward for you to teach everyone to raise chickens. When you go out of the mountain, you sell the mountain goods, and you can exchange some money for it. You see how. ”

Pang Zi actually had the most headache of how to get out of the encirclement of the villagers, and since he was entangled, he would no longer be entangled in the problem of returning to the cottage. "Then how can I believe you're right?"

Zhou Wencai stood up and shouted outside, "Fourth uncle, you come in." ”

After a while, the young man who had gone to the cottage walked in with some fear.

"Fourth uncle, you bring my family's bag of mountain goods. Especially those two Ganoderma lucidum, you must not pull them down. Zhou Wencai commanded.

"Wencai, what do you mean? You're going to give this to these bandits? Zhou Wencai's fourth uncle was very puzzled.

"Fourth uncle, you have also seen that this huge king has nothing to do with the group of people on the mountain. Moreover, the huge king also taught us some ways to live, and these things should be regarded as thanks. ”

"Wencai, you're wrong. There are so many of us, and the sleepiness has trapped these people to death. What are we afraid of? The young man seemed unconvinced.

When Liu Yongfu heard this, he sneered, "It's up to you? Lao Tzu fought with the government, fought with the Beiyang Army, thousands of troops and horses survived, and you mountain people dare to say that you can trap us? ”

The people in the mountains are straight, although they are surrounded by Pang Zi, where is Liu Wencai's fourth uncle willing to believe. Pang Zi sneered, "Yongfu, let them see our marksmanship." ”

Liu Yongfu happily responded, just being surrounded by so many people, Pang Zi and the others were shocked at first, but now they see that the villagers have no real determination to play for their lives, and everyone has long seen through the reality of these people. Liu Yongfu picked up his rifle, walked out of the door, aimed at the door in the distance for a moment, and fired three shots in a row. In the past few days, Pang Zi and the others have never delayed the practice of marksmanship. This is a new type of rifle, the accuracy is excellent, Liu Yongfu is determined to stand up.

The villagers saw that Liu Yongfu was not aiming at themselves, and they didn't know what he was going to do. After the gunshots rang out, Liu Yongfu's three shots actually knocked out two strings of red peppers hanging on the wall more than 30 meters away. Where have the villagers seen such accurate shooting, everyone knows that if Liu Yongfu is aiming at himself, he is afraid that there are already three corpses on the spot at this time. As if a pot had been fried, the villagers who had been watching immediately ran away. The villagers who were originally holding weapons and preparing to annihilate Pang Zi also immediately hid behind the wall, never daring to poke out again.

Zhou Wencai's fourth uncle's eyes widened, and Fang Cai's arrogance was gone. The reason why Zhou Wencai was willing to come as a hostage was because he didn't want Pang Zi and others to jump off the wall in a hurry and play with the villagers. The reason why he temporarily compromised was that he didn't want to give Pang Zi a chance to be bold. As a result, his fourth uncle didn't understand the truth here at all, and seeing that these three shots completely knocked out the sharp spirit of the villagers, Zhou Wencai couldn't help but sigh in his heart. "Fourth uncle, listen to me, go and bring the things. Hello everyone, get together and disperse. ”

When the others went out, Pang Zi and his gang in the house had already regained their momentum. Liu Yongfu couldn't help but ask: "Brother Pang, let's kill it." These people are a ball. ”

Pang Zi glared at Liu Yongfu, "Do you really want to be a bandit?" These people don't have an enmity with us. What's the hell with all this. ”

Gu Liangyu didn't dare to speak at first, but when she saw that she could really go, she hurriedly grabbed Pang Zi's arm, "Boss, you bring my brother with you." ”

As soon as he heard Gu Liangyu mention her brother Gu Liangsheng, Pang Zi's anger rose, and he dragged Gu Liangyu's shirt and said viciously: "If it weren't for the bad trouble your brother caused me, I would have left a long time ago." What's the use of being trapped here? You're going to save your brother, you stay by yourself, and I'm not going to take care of that bastard. ”

Gu Liangyu knew that Pang Zi was not angry, although he was still worried about his brother, he could still go early at this time.

After a long while, Zhou Wencai's fourth uncle came in with a small package. When I opened it, it was clean, Liu Wencai said that there were two Ganoderma lucidum, and there were really only two Ganoderma lucidum in the baggage. Pang Zi ran a pharmacy when he was in Nangong County, and after looking at it, he knew that the quality was okay, and he could sell it for seven or eight taels of silver.

"Give us our horses." Pang Zi said.

"The horse has been taken away, I'm afraid I won't come back?" Zhou Wencai's fourth uncle is really a thief and bold, he doesn't seem to care about life and death at all, I really don't know whether to say brave or dull.

Zhou Wencai knew that the reason why Pang Zi wanted the horse was really to leave, and he hurriedly persuaded, "Fourth uncle, give them the horse and let them go." ”

"Wencai, I don't care about this horse, you have to go out and talk about it." Zhou Wencai's fourth uncle said.

Carving insect skills, Pang Zi sneered in his heart. He pretended to answer, "Then you go out and say." ”

As soon as Zhou Wencai and his fourth uncle arrived at the door, Pang Zi suddenly pushed on the backs of the two, and the two were caught off guard and stumbled out of the door. Then he was slammed to the ground by two wooden sticks outside the door. Pang Zi picked up a wooden stick beside him and rushed out the door, only to see that there were already three people in ambush outside the door, all carrying wooden sticks. looked at the wrong person, and they were all stunned. Pang Zi followed Uncle Jing Tingbin to practice martial arts, and his skills were excellent, and he waved a wooden stick on the heads of the three guys, and each of them gave a stick. The three of them were immediately knocked to the ground like pockets.

The other three brothers were left in the house to watch the captives, and the other two escaped. The villagers originally set up an ambush to attack Pang Zi, but they never expected Pang Zi to see through their plan. Five young men rushed over with wooden sticks to save people, where was Pang Zi willing to give them a chance. He strode forward with his stick.

Since being calculated today, although Pang Zi has also fought wits and courage, and has always taken it as the highest goal to be able to take his brothers out safely, but the sullen feeling in his heart is getting more and more fierce. At this time, seeing that the five people were not holding muskets, Pang Zi's wooden stick stabbed straight and stabbed the man in front of him in the chest like a spear. The man was knocked to the ground as soon as he landed. The other four fought with a lot of courage, and their courage was commendable, but they did not have the combat power to match their courage. The people in the mountains are fierce, but they don't practice their families. Several people had no intention of retreating, and still rushed towards Pang Zi.

Pang Zi was most afraid of this, he didn't even blink his eyes, he still stabbed with a stick, this time he poked a person's lower abdomen, and the person knelt on the ground in pain holding his stomach. The remaining three had already rushed to Pang Zi's side, and were about to swing their sticks, but they forgot that Pang Zi's two brothers had rushed out. The two of them didn't actually want to kill anyone, so one of them looked at a villager and smashed his fist into the villager's neck, knocking down the two in an instant. In the end, the villager suddenly found that he had been surrounded, and in a daze, Pang Zi flew up and kicked the young man to the ground.

"It's all tied!" Pang Zi roared.

The situation has changed so dramatically, Zhou Wencai regrets it. He never imagined that his carefully planned plan to suppress bandits would turn out like this in the end. Zhou Wencai is the son of a local landlord and studies outside. After accepting some new ideas, he simply cut his braids. It's nothing outside, but the lack of braids in the mountains is very "different". In order to correct his name, Zhou Wencai happened to know that there was a fire in the nearby cottage, so he put his idea on the cottage.

Zhou Wencai first persuaded the local villagers, and then contacted the villagers of several other villages. This place is already poor, the owners of this cottage have always oppressed the people very ruthlessly, and the villagers of each village saw that Pang Zi had no intention of running the cottage well, and learned that there was no one in the cottage. agreed to this plan, and it happened that Gu Liangsheng brought three people to the village to make trouble. Zhou Wencai is planning to let Pang Zi get angry first, and then take advantage of the situation to clean up Pang Zi. The first half of the plan was completely implemented according to Zhou Wencai's prediction, and the process was extremely smooth.

Listening to the news that his fourth uncle said that Pang Zi was ready to leave, Zhou Wencai just felt that Pang Zi had other plans, and he didn't take it to heart. But Zhou Wencai never expected that Pang Zi was really not a bandit. No matter how careful an ordinary bandit is, it is impossible for him to be unmoved by a table full of wine and meat. But Pang Zi can not move for half a day.

Except for the flaws, everything went wrong. Now Pang Zi has captured ten hostages, and the dominance of the situation is completely in Pang Zi's hands.
