Jagged Warlord

Therefore, Li Mohan first quietly pulled the [-]th mixed brigade to Weishan Lake, a small station on the Jinpu Railway - Liguo Post Station, and then sent someone to deliver a post to Xibeifeng.Northwest Wind quickly replied to the post, the meaning is very simple, if you want to return the goods, it is simple, you can come to Dazhai to pick it up.Li Mohan read the post, just smiled, and led the [-]th mixed brigade to the Weishan Lake.

Weishan Lake is named after Weishan Island in the lake, the southeast island of Weishan Lake, the largest inland island in northern China.The island is 5 kilometers long from east to west, 2.5 kilometers wide from north to south, and covers an area of ​​9 square kilometers.Weishan Island is the largest island on Weishan Lake.According to legend, a long time ago, a golden phoenix landed on the main peak of the island. Since then, the island has been blessed with good weather, abundant grains, abundant products in the lake, and golden sunrises.

One day, a few outsiders who knew kung fu came to the island to rob the golden phoenix, but the manpower on the island was no match for it. When the golden phoenix was put into the cage, the cage suddenly caught fire, and the phoenix fled into the sky with a flash of its golden wings.A golden egg was left, which sank down the mountain.Soon, there was continuous torrential rain, and the water was like a beast, threatening to swallow the island.People on the island braved the rain to pray, and the golden phoenix appeared. Under the rain, the golden egg that sank into the ground turned into a golden boat and a prodigy with a human face and a fish body. golden ship.Since then, Weishan Island has been flooded and the island is high, and it will never be invaded by water demons.This beautiful and moving legend is just used by the ancestors to comfort the hearts of those who are afraid of the island sinking.

The 75th Mixed Brigade first collected ships at various docks and estuaries by the lake, assuming they were preparing for a large-scale attack.Two large banners were also made, one with "Xuzhou [-]th Mixed Brigade" written on it, and the other with a large "Li" character, as tall as an ancient general going out into battle.Then, Li Mohan ordered people to pull the [-]mm mountain cannon to the shore, and fired three shots at the lake in a row, as a greeting to the northwest wind.

After about a bag of cigarettes, two small boats rowed over.A man on board was dressed in black, with a beard and a wide belt with a copper head, and shouted loudly, "Is this Lieutenant Li?"

Li Mohan stepped forward and shouted loudly: "I am Li Mohan, who are you?"

The man replied: "I am Fan Jianglong, the second head of Renhetang. Our head, Xibeifeng, invited Lieutenant Li to Dazhai for a drink. Would Lieutenant Dare come?"

Li Mohan laughed loudly, and said, "Then I will invite Master Xibeifeng to go to Xuzhou Liuweizhai for a drink, does he dare to come?"

The bearded Fan Jianglong snorted coldly and said, "Everyone, please." With a wave of his hand, the two minions rowed a small boat to the shore.

"Brother Li, I'll go with you." Ma Qian'an stepped forward and said

"No, the [-]th Mixed Brigade cannot be left without a command, you stay." Li Mohan ordered two recruits, "Zhang San, Li Si, you follow me."

"Yes." The two replied without hesitation.

"Aren't you afraid?" Li Mohan asked with a smile

Zhang San replied: "What are you afraid of? It would be our honor to die with the adjutant."

Li Si replied: "After 18 years, he will be a good man again."

"Yes." Li Mohan strode onto the boat, followed closely by Zhang San and Li Si.

There are many reed marshes on Weishan Lake and its shores. After turning seven times and eight turns inside, a large village is in front of you.The straight shore of the lake suddenly sunk a large piece inward here, forming a not-so-small harbor with a water surface of tens of mu in size.One of them is a very steep lakeshore, a full three meters high, like a natural wall.Dazhai covers an area of ​​tens of acres. On the shore, a large mountain tree with a thickness of eight meters and a length of eight meters was driven deep into the ground, forming a solid wall about 500 meters long and six meters high.

The distance between the two big logs is about less than half a meter, which is extremely tight and narrow. The middle is nailed with a thick and heavy plank about ten centimeters thick, and then a lot of gravel, sand and loess are filled in the gap and compacted. , Formed a high wall of five or six meters high and one and a half meters thick, which is extremely strong.In the water near the shore, many wooden piles were built, protruding from the water to a height of three meters, and then wooden planks were laid on them to build a wall less than three meters high.

On the westernmost side of the stockade, there is a tall water gate, enclosing a piece of water, in which hundreds of small boats are moored. This is the means of transportation used by the lake bandits to trace Weishan Lake.

There are two gates in Dazhai, one on the east and one on the west.There is a suspension bridge at the entrance, after crossing the suspension bridge, you enter the village. Inside is a rather large square with a radius of five or six acres. On the square, dozens of shirtless men hold stone locks and the like in their hands. , I'm beating my body.

As soon as Fan Jianglong arrived at the square, he immediately shouted loudly: "Little ones, welcome the guests."

After a shout, the strong men dropped the things in their hands and surrounded them one after another, blocking the way.

"Adjutant Li, please follow me." Fan Jianglong walked forward on his own, and the strong men consciously made way for him.But as soon as Fanjianglong passed by, they immediately took over and continued to block the way.

Looking at a large group of strong men with fierce faces, Zhang San and Li Si swallowed nervously.Li Mohan didn't change his face, he walked forward as if no one was around, and then he used his shoulder to push those strong men away.Although Zhang San and Li Si were nervous and afraid, they still followed closely.

Not long after, I came to the hall of Dazhai after crossing the square. The hall is three feet high and five feet in radius. It is made of light wood and bamboo. , is renovated.Because it is close to the lake area, it is very humid here. In order to prevent moisture, it is built like a high-rise building in the southwest area. The house has two floors, and the basement floor is empty. living people.Starting from the entrance, there is a long row of big rosewood chairs on the left and right, and at the end, there are three steps, with a big tiger-skin chair on top, which is the most typical shape of the Shanzhai Liangshanbo Juyi Hall.

One person sat on the tiger-skin top chair above the three steps, and a row of strong men stood on the left and right under the top chair.They were all wearing short jackets with cannons pinned to their waists, and all of them glared at Li Mohan and the three of them, as if Li Mohan owed them money and would not pay them back.

Fan Jianglong clasped his fists at the person in the chair, "The master, brought by Lieutenant Li of the Xuzhou [-]th Mixed Brigade."

Li Mohan raised his head and looked at the person in the top chair, he was nearly fifty years old, with a fair face, more like an old scholar than a bandit leader.Li Mohan said with a smile: "Northwest Feng is the head of the family, it's a pleasure to meet you." After saying that, he stretched out his right hand and was about to move forward.

"Hmm~!" A few strong men stepped forward to block the way, and pulled out the box cannon to point at Li Mohan
