Chapter Twenty-Three: Ruthless

"Huh" Huang Tuanchang, who turned over and dismounted, exhaled a long breath, the red, swollen and broken skin between his legs that had already been worn by the saddle, if he had listened to Tang Cheng's Jian yƬ earlier, maybe he would not have suffered this sin at all. Xu saw Tang Cheng's strange eyes when he looked at him, and Huang Tuanchang, who was walking with two legs and eight steps, laughed at himself with some embarrassment, "I think I was also a person who didn't even sweat when I lifted a stone lock with one hand, who would have thought that I had only been married for 7 years, and now I can't even ride a horse." ā€

Tang Cheng, who was still sitting on horseback, did not have his hard work, and the practice for half a month was not in vain, plus when Tang Cheng was in Mengcheng, he rode a big green horse to gallop outside the city all day long, and riding a horse was a piece of cake for him. "This is just the beginning, when you go to bed at night, you will find that you have a sore back and can't straighten your back, maybe you won't even be able to walk tomorrow." Tang Cheng is not scaring Captain Huang, when Robert taught Tang Cheng to ride a horse, the playful Tang Cheng was in this situation at that time.

In the face of Tang Cheng's seemingly mocking explanation, Commander Huang, who was powerless to refute, could only rub his thighs desperately with a bitter face, of course, he and Tang Cheng rode out of the city on horseback, of course, it was not an outing, and the two of them were followed by more than 100 soldiers of the garrison regiment, they were on their way to Wangzhuang Town. Wangzhuang Town is 50 miles northwest of Macheng, and only the scouts of the garrison regiment will occasionally go to Wangzhuang Town on weekdays, so that Commander Huang can take Tang Cheng to Wangzhuang Town together, which is naturally a matter of urgency.

As Captain Huang's interest in bandits grew, Tang Cheng's leisurely days of hiding in cyclamen were also shattered, and this trip to Wangzhuang Town was invited by Commander Huang to stay in Wangzhuang Town for a short time, because there was a group of horse bandits who were said to be from the Hebei border near Wangzhuang Town. Horse bandits are different from bandits, compared with bandits, horse bandits are more mobile, and most of the horse bandits are quacks, and their equipment is far stronger than that of bandits.

The main reason why Commander Huang targeted this gang of horse bandits was the group of businessmen who were robbed in Wangzhuang Town a few days ago, Captain Huang was a landlord, but he had a wide range of contacts, and the leader of the team of robbed businessmen happened to be acquaintances. The caravan that had been robbed of the goods somehow found Captain Huang, and after being promised a heavy reward, Captain Huang, who had been thinking about it for a while, decided to go to Wangzhuang Town to take a walk under the banner of ensuring the safety of one party, and it was Mrs. Huang's construction to pull up Tangcheng.

Tang Cheng, who had no choice but to refuse, had no choice but to agree to Mrs. Huang's invitation to go out in person, leaving Niu Laogui and Liu Shishi to take care of Jiujin and those medicines, and Tang Cheng brought all the remaining 11 people. Tang Cheng of course they can't help in vain this time, after Commander Huang promised to encircle and suppress this gang of horse bandits, Tang Cheng can choose a few short guns from the captured weapons, and Tang Cheng will also get 2% of all the booty.

"Tuanza, we may not be able to enter the town to rest, and the brothers sent out have come back to report that the gang of horse bandits is in the mountain temple on the east side of the town, and we must now rush to the mountain temple while the iron is hot." Huang San, who came to report the traces of the horse bandits, looked nervous, as the head of the courtyard, Huang San, this was the first time to participate in a battle with real guns and ammunition, and this seemingly brave guy was already more nervous than Captain Huang.

"Huang San, call the person who came back to report the news to show us the way, Heizi, you take your people to protect Captain Huang to stay in the rear team, no matter what happens, you can't let Captain Huang come to the front." Tang Cheng took away the red-maned horses carefully selected by Commander Huang, and also took away the more than 100 soldiers of the garrison regiment, leaving only a few of them and a team of Huang family's guardians for Commander Huang. Just protecting a Huang Regiment Leader, it is too simple for the sunspots, just push the nervous Huang Regiment Leader into the weeds on the side of the road, and they can protect the Huang Regiment Leader 100% thoroughly.

Tang Cheng had never been to Wangzhuang Town, and he didn't know where the Mountain Temple was, so he could only take those people from the garrison regiment to follow the spies who came back to report the news all the way to the east. He originally planned to let Captain Huang, who came to see the excitement, go into the town to rest, but Captain Huang was stubborn, and Tang Cheng, who had no choice, asked Heizi and them to stay in the back team to protect Captain Huang, if something happened to Captain Huang, after returning to Macheng, Tang Chengguan would be torn to pieces by Mrs. Huang.

"Company Commander Tang, that is the Mountain Temple, the brothers who came out to explore the path are all around, do you want to summon them all back?" Tang Cheng, who turned over and dismounted, did not answer Huang San's inquiry, but took out a telescope from his saddle bag and looked in the direction of Huang San's finger. The mountain temple that Tang Cheng saw was built in the middle of the mountain, and the front was the slope of the flat river, while the back of the mountain temple was a lush mountain forest, and the horse bandits in the mountain temple could escape and disappear from the mountain forest at any time.

"Lao Dongbei, Matou, Lao Man, Brother Shui, you take your own people back to the back of the mountain temple to ambush, as long as you block them back to the mountain temple when the horse bandits flee, don't fight with them. Da Zhuang, Er Zhuang, you two brothers take people to our left flank to build an interception line, and make more horse traps on the ground, horse bandits are only fierce on horseback, and the horse bandits who get off the horse are not as good as those mountain bandits in Sandaoling. ā€

"Huang San, you follow me, we touch from the right flank, and the rest of Guangping and Zhao Hu, your job is to guard the road to Wangzhuang Town, and you can't let the fleeing horse bandits go to the direction of Wangzhuang Town." Tang Cheng didn't have a map in his hand, so he could only draw the terrain and steps he had deduced in his mind on the ground and explain it to the old northeast. Sand table deduction or map explanation has become a necessary step before Tang Cheng makes a plan, and they have been tortured by Tang Cheng with sand table deduction in cyclamen for half a month, but Huang San is participating for the first time.

It was the same as the deduction made in his mind in advance, Tang Cheng, who had personally gone into battle, took Huang San and more than 30 soldiers of the garrison regiment to quietly approach along the right flank of the mountain temple, and before they could see the dilapidated temple gate of the mountain temple, dense gunfire and shouts came from the back side of the mountain temple. "Up, up, up, the horse bandits are going to escape." The moment the gunshots rang out, Huang San and his team of courtyard guards lay on the ground together, only Tang Cheng stood in place and shouted loudly, asking them to get up and continue to attack the mountain temple.

"Da Da" was still more than ten meters away from the mountain temple, and two tongues of fire rushed from the wall of the mountain temple, and the three soldiers of the garrison regiment who were caught off guard screamed and fell to the ground. "Machine guns, they have machine guns." Huang San shouted in horror and hid behind a family member, in his cognition, if this group of horse bandits who had been surrounded had a big killing weapon like a machine gun in their hands, they would not be able to enter the mountain temple even if their heads were sharpened.

"Shut up, that's just two 20 shots, where are there any machine guns." The frightened Huang San was kicked to the ground by Tang Cheng, and before he could reply to refute, Tang Cheng was the first to rush towards the temple gate of the mountain temple with his shell gun. Among the more than 30 people who broke through from the right flank, only half of them were the Huang family's family members, and the rest were soldiers of the garrison regiment who had fought in the Sandaoling ambush.

"Boom" "Boom" Two grenades were thrown into the gate of the mountain temple in succession, and after the smoke of the explosion sprayed out of the temple gate, Tang Cheng, who was carrying a shell gun, had already dodged into the mountain temple under the cover of smoke. The sound of gunfire rang out one after another in the mountain temple, and it was mixed with the neighing of horses and the screams of people, and Huang San, who was vigorously kicked to the ground by Tang Cheng, did not have the courage to enter the mountain temple, so he could only take those under his command to guard the temple door.

"Boom" With a bang and a cloud of rolling smoke, the gunfire in the mountain temple completely stopped, except for the shouting sound from inside, Huang San outside the temple gate never heard any other sounds. "Captain Huang, Company Commander Tang asked you to bring those three doctors in to help, and there are many brothers injured inside." Limped on the ground and dragged out a blood line of hemp out of the mountain temple, the battle just now, they were responsible for blocking the back of the mountain temple The guys also had a part.

Huang San, who was also limping, took three doctors invited from Macheng into the mountain temple, and unlike Matou, who was shot in the thigh, his limping was completely caused by Tang Cheng's kick. There was a strong smell of blood in the mountain temple, and when Huang San found Tang Cheng, Tang Cheng, whose face was covered with blood, was interrogating the three horse bandits who were captured alive by them. "Where's the thing? If you say it, you will die. The murderous old Northeast stood beside one of the horse bandits with a long knife, and the horse bandit who was pinched by him on the back of the neck looked resolute, obviously not wanting to answer the old Northeast's inquiry.

With a crisp sound of "poof", Lao Dongbei raised the knife in his hand, and the horse bandit, whose neck was cut in half by the long knife, convulsed and fell at Huang San's feet. Looking at the military shoes on his feet that were stained red by the blood arrows splashed by the horse bandits, Huang San's mind was blank and he stood in place dumbfounded, this may be the difference between a veteran and a novice, when Huang San was half dead in horror, Tang Cheng, who was sitting on a broken **, was leisurely smoking a cigarette.

What really scared Huang San was not that the horse bandit died in front of his eyes, what he was afraid of was the sudden attack of Lao Northeast just now, before Lao Northeast took out the knife, Huang San also saw the smile on Lao Northeast's face, but just a second later, Lao Dongbei, who was full of smiles, suddenly waved his knife and cut half of the horse bandit's neck, this sudden change is the reason why Huang San is really afraid.

Old Northeast's ruthlessness has obviously had an effect, and Huang San is not the only one here who is so scared that he is at a loss, and the remaining two horse bandits who were captured alive are also shocked and trembling with their eyes closed. Under Tang Cheng's instructions, in the face of the ruthless old Northeast, the remaining two horse bandits did not dare to hide the beans in the slightest, and this time, Tang Cheng got the answer he wanted.
