At that time, the leader of the Japanese invaders asked the eldest son to shout to the city, and the eldest son repeated the old trick and said loudly to the city: "I will take the Japanese to go around the altar of the people, you quickly take a shortcut to the past, and after I enter the altar, the bridge will be demolished." ”

"The Altar of Transformation?" When the crisis in Jianhu Town was resolved, Shen Mo began to recall the words of his eldest son, but he was a little confused, he did not have such a place name in his impression. At this time, Wu Chengqi also came back, as the sheriff of the countryside, he was familiar with the grass and trees in the vicinity, and said firmly: "Within a radius of dozens of miles, there is only one beach of turning into a person, and the locals say 'beach' and the people in the city say 'altar' is a pronunciation...... Eighty percent of the righteous man originally heard the mistake. ”

"That's right," nodded silently, "Please tell Brother Wu more about the situation there!" ”

"Huaren Beach is actually a tidal flat exposed on the surface of the river, and we will reach it by walking straight north for thirteen or fourteen miles," Afraid that he would not be able to describe it clearly, Wu Chengqi picked up a branch and illustrated it to Shen Mo on the ground: "It is more than two miles long from south to north, and the widest part of the east and west is only twenty zhang, which is slender and long." It is surrounded by a wide and deep river, with high stone piers at the north and south ends, and wooden arch bridges on top of them...... The south is the first to us, and the north is to Keqiao Township. ”

Looking at the figure he drew on the ground, even a fool could see that if the north and south bridges were torn down, Huaren Beach would become a long and narrow island, surrounded in the middle of the water.

Seeing that Shen Mo's face was gloomy like water, Wu Chengqi sighed and said, "This righteous man obviously wants to ......"

was rudely interrupted by Shen Mu: "Don't say it." Without saying hello, he erased the picture from the ground with his foot.

Wu Chengqi was originally a little displeased, and said in his heart that even your father can't control me, but when he saw Shen Mo's cold expression like the wind of Sanjiu, he couldn't help but tremble all over his body, and swallowed the ridiculous words into his stomach.

Forget it, let's put the big picture first. Inspector Wu sighed secretly, got up and said, "In any case, it is right to rush to Huaren Beach first." ”

He thought that the kid was going to go crazy again, but Shen Mo took a few deep breaths, and actually calmed down and said: "First, there are cavalry in the station, go to find the official army, and inform us of the situation." Let them know that there are not many pirates and that they have been trapped in a Jedi, so they are waiting for them to catch the turtle in the urn and capture it...... Otherwise, this group of old soldiers may be scared back; secondly, gather all the townsmen, carry all the spears, bows and arrows, and each of them bring a machete; Third, after a pause, he said with difficulty: "Find ...... The craftsman who can break the bridge......" and turned his head away, not wanting anyone to see him biting his lip.

Hearing it in an orderly manner, Wu Inspector said strangely in his heart: 'Isn't this clearly preparing to demolish the bridge?' So what was the anger just now? But when they were of the same opinion, he said no more, but went down and commanded.

After a lot of people turned on their backs, the two of them took a total of more than 700 villagers, as well as all the cattle carts in the town, which were full of spears and darts, bamboo poles and sticks, machetes and kitchen knives, and rushed towards the north.

Finally, around mid-afternoon, we arrived at the tidal flat. Time waits for no one, the two just made a simple inspection, and saw that the terrain was similar to what they expected, so they ordered the craftsmen to do their hands and feet on the two bridges, which was not a difficult task, because the river was too wide here, and there were boats under the bridges, and the general stone and wooden bridges could not meet the requirements.

But it is not a traffic artery, it is only used for several towns and villages, and it is not worth building a high arch stone bridge or a cable bridge. The craftsmen who built the bridge took these conditions into account and built two wooden high-arch bridges that span the tidal flat and the river bank.

Now the craftsmen sawed all the supporting standing timbers at the lower end of the bridge, and although it looked like nothing out of the ordinary, if you put down the standing logs, the wooden bridge would collapse with a bang...... Shen Mo did not let the villagers sit idle, and ordered them to cut down bamboo nearby, sharpen it into sharp spears, and transport it to both sides of the river, while dispersing passing boats and pedestrians to avoid unnecessary victims.

When they were busy, smoke and dust suddenly rose in the north, Shen Mo and Wu Chengqi hurried over to take a look, it turned out that it was the gentry of Keqiao Township who saw the wolf smoke and led the militia to support.

Shen Mo saw that Keqiao had six or seven hundred people coming, and his heart was relieved...... He was sure that the would-be wouldn't fall into the trap, but he wasn't sure if he would be able to keep them, so he held out until the arrival of the official army. It's easy to talk during the day, but after another hour or two, it will be dark, and then you will have to use the method of beating people and keep a close eye on the river...... Otherwise, once the Japanese are allowed to swim ashore and gain a firm foothold in the night, they will be bitten by a mad dog when they close the door and beat the dog.

Now that there are Keqiao's Xiangyong, there can be 700 people on each side of the strait, Shen Mo and Wu Chengqi were relieved, looked at each other and said, "This should be enough." "Although it has been several times that of the other party, people are self-aware...... It only takes eighty pirates to go ashore to beat them to the ground, and that's the gap.

It's not the scariest thing to have a gap, it's the scariest thing to be about not acknowledging the gap.

After the mechanism of the wooden bridge was completed, Wu Chengqi and the leader of Keqiao Township took their respective subordinates and hid in the endless reeds on the shore, waiting for the arrival of the strong man to lead the Japanese Kou.

Seeing that everything was ready, all the orders were ordered, and Shen Mo ordered someone to find a small boat to come over, and said to Wu Chengqi: "The south side will be handed over to Brother Wu, when the Japanese reach the middle of the tidal flat, you will put down the wooden bridge on this side, if they want to swim across, throw spears and stab them, if they are approached, they are not afraid, relying on people to stab them with spears." He took a few deep breaths and said, "When the devil sees so many of us, it is unlikely that he will be forced to cross during the day, so as soon as it gets dark, we have to light torches and cheer up...... I think tonight and tomorrow, maybe the officers and soldiers should arrive. ”

He had realized that he had miscalculated the arrival time of the officers and soldiers...... Even if under the best conditions, the official army would have marched to the northwest where the beacon fire was located, while the Japanese had already turned to the southeast. Therefore, the officers and soldiers were destined to take many more unjust roads in order to follow the direction of his and the Japanese invaders...... Moreover, the marching speed of the officers and soldiers could not be compared with that of the Japanese invaders, and it was not surprising that they would be hot, thirsty, tired, and hungry.

So he said to Wu Inspector 'Tonight to tomorrow', in fact, it is an allusion to learning from Cao Gong's 'Wangmei to quench thirst', anyway, tomorrow afternoon is considered tomorrow, isn't it?

Wu Chengqi nodded, and just as he was about to speak, he saw the boat that Shen Mo wanted coming, so he changed his words: "What are you going to do?" ”

"The other side." Silently jumped onto the boat, and the boat swayed, and almost did not stand, but thanks to the boatman's help, he did not fall into the water.

Wu Chengqi pretended not to see it, and said, "It's okay, although the north shore has been arranged, there is still a son there to rest assured." "Unconsciously, his title for silence changed from 'three youths' to 'son'.

Shen Mo shook his head slightly and said: "Keqiao's side should be left to the squires to be independent, I am a strange descendant to get involved, and people will not listen to me." "His nonsense of 'new Zhejiang tour' can only babble villagers who have never seen the market, and naturally they will not take it out again to humiliate themselves.

"Where is the boy going?" Wu Chengqi asked.

Shen Mo didn't hide it from him, and pointed to the incarnation beach and said, "Where is it...... I'm going to pick up my brother. ”

The boatman directly weakened his legs, jumped off the boat and said, "Don't dare to go small, the widows will eat people." ”

Wu Chengqi grabbed the boat gang and said in a deep voice: "Childe think twice, that's too dangerous, you must not go, if there are three long and two short, how can I explain to the master bookkeeper?" ”

Shen Mo said calmly: "There is no need to explain, I have already asked someone to convey my last words." ”

"I'm not going to let you go anyway!" Wu Chengqi stubbornly held the boat and said: "Come over a few people, help me please Shen Gongzi off the boat......" A short gun suddenly pointed at his chest, interrupting Wu's inspection words, Zhongxiang Yong was a little stupid for a while, and did not dare to move again.

"Offended, Brother Wu." Shen Mo said softly: "I can't abandon my friends twice in a row. ”

Wu Chengqi persuaded in a deep voice: "That strong man voluntarily introduced the Japanese Kou into the Jedi and let us capture them all, he died a well-deserved death, and no one will be blamed." ”

"It's his business whether to complain or not, and it's my business to save it or not." Shen Mo shook his head and said leisurely: "When I was on the boat last night, I didn't try to save him, and I could comfort myself at that time and say, 'I can't do anything'; ”

Wu Chengqi saw that he had made up his mind to go, so he had to let go and said, "Okay, I'll go with you." ”

"No, you are different from me, you are the county inspector, and all the militia groups have to listen to you." Shen Mo didn't even think about it, so he refused: "You must stay and sit in the town!" ”

At this time, the boat suddenly shook violently, and a black and strong villager jumped up and said to Wu Chengqi: "Let Tiezhu accompany Gongzi for a while!" ”

Wu Chengqi was overjoyed and said: "With you, I am much more relieved." Said to Shen Mo and said: "Tiezhu is practicing kung fu horizontally, there is no opponent in ten miles and eight towns, and people give him the nickname 'Black Strip in the Waves', and he can be the child's guard." ”

He looked at the man silently, and saw that he was only wearing a pair of shorts, his body was dark and strong, and his two feet were more like a fan. ”

Tie Zhu grinned nonchalantly, showing a mouthful of big white teeth and said: "I worship that righteous man tightly, the son just doesn't agree, and I have to go alone!" ”

Shen Mo bowed to him and said, "Thank you for your help!" ”

The iron pillar stumbled away from the riverbank, crossed the wide river, and rowed towards the reeds on the edge of the tidal flat.
