Chapter 30 Bandits Who Don't Drink
"Master, look, in front of you is Baoping Mountain."

Under the support of everyone, Zhang Heng and Qian Zhenzhen came to the peak opposite Baoping Mountain.

Qian Zhenzhen looked up and saw that there were lush green plants on Baoping Mountain, and there were countless fortresses and watchtowers.

Looking to both sides, there are two hills on both sides, forming a guard, like two ears on a bottle.

"The mountains are guarded, and the town is a bottle, and Baoping Mountain is really a good place. If you can be buried here after death, and gather the earth, your descendants will be blessed and live longer."

Qian Zhenzhen first sighed, then looked at Zhang Heng: "If I guessed correctly, the spring on Baoping Mountain should be at the mouth of Hukou, and the water vein is at the back mountain, which leads to the Dongling River ten miles away."

"The uncle said exactly what he said. According to the bandits on the mountain, there is indeed a spring on the top of the mountain that does not dry up in all seasons."

Zhang Heng replied, and then asked, "Could there be a way for Shibo to seal this water vein and dry up the spring water on Baoping Mountain?"

"It's not difficult."

Qian Zhenzhen looked back and told everyone, "Let's go, let's go to Dongling River."

Dongling River is a small river.

It seems that it has nothing to do with Baoping Mountain, does not pass under the mountain, and is far away from ten miles.

But after reaching the Dongling River, Qian Zhenzhen laughed and pointed to the river beach and said, "This is where the water veins of Baoping Mountain are located. The springs will be exhausted."

Zhang Heng calculated silently for a while.

In the Zhang family in Dagou Town, there is a cousin of a clan, who is a bandit on this Baoping Mountain.

With this insider, Zhang Heng knew very well what happened on Baoping Mountain.

First of all, because there are springs on Baoping Mountain, water is taken once a day, and there is no habit of building cisterns.

As long as the water vein breaks, it will not take long for the bandits on the mountain to abandon the mountain.

At that time, the wooden forts and bunkers on the mountain will become decorations, and the bandits on the mountain will also become headless flies.

"Bring my magic weapon, I want to open the altar."

Qian Zhenzhen is impatient and doesn't want to wait any longer.

"You guys are going to move things, you two, listen to my uncle's dispatch."

Zhang Heng assigned them to the crowd for a while.

After everyone started to act and built an altar for Qian Zhenren, Zhang Heng called Zhang Zhentian and Zhang Zhenhu again: "Cousin, there are 400 bandits on Baoping Mountain, and our militiamen only have [-] to [-] people. In this way, you go back to town Collect a thousand youths and come out."

After talking to Zhang Zhentian, Zhang Heng looked at Zhang Zhenhu again: "Huzi, you go to contact Mr. John of Deutsche Bank and ask him to send another thousand Mausers and a hundred short guns, and also the infantry artillery and Mark Qin's words. Let’s do the same, and our militia regiment will have to implement the size of a regiment.”

"Patriarch, just wait and see."

Zhang Zhenhu went happily.

As the actual manager of the militia, no one wants to expand the strength of the militia more than him. After all, no one thinks that they have too many soldiers.

"Patriarch, Dagou Town is just a small town. Unless you contribute money to a militia group of more than 1000 people, the town can't afford it at all."

Zhang Zhentian expressed his concerns.

"Don't worry, I will set up a factory in the town later, and then the militia group will be useful."

"Besides, the world is not peaceful right now, and I can't say it will become more and more chaotic in the future."

"If we don't have a gun, we don't speak stubbornly. If we have an armed force that belongs to us, when others want to move us, we will have to weigh them up."

Zhang Heng has no heart to fight for dragons.

But he didn't want to be without the power to protect himself. After all, the burden of the Zhang family in Dagou Town rested on him, and he needed to be responsible for those who supported him.

A group of a thousand people doesn't sound like much, but it's actually quite a lot.

Being stationed in Dagou Town is like the Tu Emperor. As long as he does not violate taboos, no one will transfer a division to encircle and suppress him.

Even if you come to a division, you are not afraid. After the Aquarius Mountain is conquered, it will be built. This is the new militia station.

There are many attic fortresses on Baoping Mountain, and 1000 people guard it. A division of [-] people may not be able to take it down, and the loss outweighs the gain.

Otherwise, many years later, Zhang Zhenhu, who became the new king of Baoping Mountain, would not have been recruited by the Wang puppet regime.

Five days later.

Aquarius Mountain.

"Master, the spring is dry."

On the mountain, a group of people gathered in front of a spring.

"How could this be, wasn't it still sloppy yesterday?"

"Master, yesterday's water output was actually abnormal. It was much smaller than before. I just thought that the groundwater was falling, and I didn't think much about it. Who knew that there would be no drop of water when I saw it this morning."

"How long can the water on the mountain last?"

"Two days at most."

"so little?"

"The boss, we don't have the habit of storing water. Who knew that the spring water would dry up?"

Looking at the dry spring, everyone was embarrassed for a while.

The afternoon of the second day.

There was not a drop of water on the mountain, and people who went down to get water went wave after wave, but never came back.

The bandit leader of Baoping Mountain sat on the main seat with a melancholy face.

The second master sitting below looked at the third and fourth masters, and couldn't help but say, "Brother, it is absolutely impossible without water on the mountain, and if we stay on the mountain, we will all die of thirst, so in my opinion, let's go down the mountain. "

"Can't go down the mountain."

With a sad face: "Since morning, I have sent a total of four waves of people down the mountain to fetch water, and none of them have come back so far, I'm afraid."

"The officers and soldiers surround the mountain?"

The third master asked tentatively.

"Almost, it's just that I'm very strange. How can the officers and soldiers know that we are short of water?"

Yidanchai's eyes turned bad.

When the other bandit leaders saw it, they looked at their noses, their noses at their mouths, and their mouths at their hearts.

It's just that the seeds of doubt have been planted, and looking at the sworn brothers in front of him, a load of distrust flashes with distrust.

"Surrender without killing, surrender without killing!"

Two nights later, the starving third-in-command went down the mountain overnight with his cronies.

What awaited him was the militiamen's siege and interception. Looking at the torches all over the mountains and plains, the third master was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground: "Don't shoot, I am willing to surrender."

"You are the third master of Baoping Mountain, Zhu Yeqing?"

Looking at the ordinary man who was tied up and brought in front of him, Zhang Heng shook his head slightly: "It looks very ordinary!"

"Sir, I am willing to surrender and help you lay down Baoping Mountain."

Zhu Yeqing didn't know Zhang Heng, and only thought that these uniformed people were private soldiers of the warlord invited by Yangjiang County to suppress the bandits.

"Oh, you're quite cooperative."

Zhang Heng raised his brows: "Tell me, what's going on on the mountain?"

"Lack of water."

Zhu Yeqing did not dare to hide it: "Actually, there is no water this morning, but there is some wine in the mountains, and it will be thirsty for a while."

Zhang Heng was a little strange: "Since you can't die from thirst, why did you go down the mountain?"

"If I go back to the commander, I don't drink, and I get a rash all over my body."

Zhu Yeqing was a little embarrassed.

The crowd burst into laughter.

A bandit who can't drink is not a bandit. He can't even drink alcohol. How did these three masters become.

Zhu Yeqing blushed with laughter, and tried his best to defend: "Who said that if you don't drink, you're not a hero?"

When everyone heard this, they laughed even louder.
