I traveled through time, starting with two acres of land and a dog

After the interests of the parties were properly distributed, they began to deal with the aftermath of the elimination of the Gelaohui. First, they released several ordinary local captives, and kept seven criminals with criminal records of murder and arson, and three from other places. These ten were all used for labor reform, and those who performed well were given meat and freedom. Xu Zengshou was left behind to be a teacher.

Three days later, my father came back with three and a half new and old "Hanyang" guns. They now had a total of 3 guns. After discussing with my father, they decided to arrange as follows:

My father was the chief of the Civilian Protection Team, which consisted of 40 people stationed at Wuying Base:

Team leader Hu Laosi is in charge of teams 1 and 1. Team 2 has Hu Laosi as its captain and Zhou Kui as its deputy captain; Team 1 has Li Long as its captain and He Chaowu as its deputy captain.

2小队长何存义辖3、4分队，3分队长何存义,副队长大舅；4分队长黄坤杨，副队长吴化成。

Each team consists of 10 members.

Tang Zhihao is responsible for household affairs management, training of new recruits, and teaching tasks.

Hu Laowu was the chief shopkeeper, responsible for setting up shops in Lianghui Temple and Hexian County and gathering information.

For the time being, we will not expand the recruitment of new soldiers. We will only recruit military academy students for training and a few civilian workers to start the large-scale construction of the base.

There are 70 to 80 people working on the site every day. The scene is bustling and the project is progressing quickly.

After 4 or 5 days, General Sun from Banqiao Township and General Zhao came with about 10 people to negotiate and demand the release of his elder brother. The two sides almost had a conflict. Guns were displayed in the fortifications around Wuying Base, and they were ordered to retreat.

Du Chenyu saw a rare opportunity, so he asked Hu Laosi and his team to ambush on the way back of Sun Tuanzong, and asked them to try to wipe out all of them.

At night, Hu Laosi came back dejectedly and said that they only killed and injured 6 people, and most of them were caused by the bombs. The enemy's shooting was accurate. When they saw that they were ambushed, they immediately took out iron plates to surround the head of the group surnamed Sun, retreated quickly, fought back fiercely, and finally rushed out. 6 people escaped, and the head of the group surnamed Sun was carried away and fled, probably because he was injured. Finally, they reported that two of their brothers were injured and one died.

"What? Another one died." This was the first time that a brother died in an ambush that turned into an assault. This also reflected that their team was poorly trained, with many new recruits, while the other side had their own soldiers with strong combat effectiveness.

The next day, when the fallen brothers were buried, my father personally led the bowing, which made all the team members cry. In this era when ordinary people's lives are as cheap as grass, having a leader who respects them is worth fighting for. My father's bow won the hearts of the army and the people.

After dealing with everything, his father carried him on his back and took He Cunyi away. Hu Laosi and Li Long's team returned to their hometown in Linshui in a swagger. Huang Kunyang and He Chaowu led the team to stay behind in Wuying base.

On the way, he was thinking about a new plan, which was to take Youfangba and establish their first base. Youfangba was far away from Wuyin and Banqiao Township. It was a flat land in the mountains, an ideal place for a base. The head of Youfangba, the Tan family, was also severely damaged last time and has not recovered its strength. Taking this place was the most important step in their strategy. Only with a base can they develop.

They trained normally on the first day after returning to Linshui. On the third night, Second Uncle carried Du Chenyu, Hu Laosi and all the team members on his back, disguised as bandits and prepared to start a "new operation" to raid the Tan family compound in Youfangba.

According to the information collected, there are only more than 10 militiamen in the Tan family compound, less than 10 guns, and 4 dogs. The head of Youfangba, Tan Shixiong, has 3 sons and 2 daughters. The eldest son is a teacher in Guangyuan County, the second son is studying in Chengdu, reportedly a military school, and only the youngest son is at home. The Li family that attacked last time was the Tan family's in-law, and they tried their best to rescue them every time, but were surrounded and ambushed by Du Chenyu and his men, causing the Tan family to lose 5 guns and greatly damaging their strength.

At about two or three o'clock in the evening, they took advantage of the crescent moonlight of the 19th month of the lunar calendar and crescently moved towards the Tan family compound along the path along the Pujia River without torches.

The Tan family courtyard house is made of blue bricks and tiles, with several thatched houses on the left and right, and two watchtowers. At about 400 meters, they stopped and lay on the rocks to observe, and found that the whole yard was quiet, there were no lights on, and the defense was loose. Du Chenyu was about to order an attack, but then he thought something was wrong. Tan Shixiong was definitely a character, his son was smart and capable, and he was by no means a waste. They almost suffered losses several times, and they must not take it lightly.

Deciding to conduct a thorough investigation, he asked Zhou Kui and Feng Ping to climb up the small mound together to take a look. Zhou Kui was in front while Feng Ping was a local. His second uncle carried him on his back, bent over and slowly moved forward to the top of the small mound.

"What is that?" Du Chenyu asked, pointing at a black pile in a depression in front.

"That's a haystack," Feng Ping said after taking a look.

"What's the point of putting a haystack there? There seems to be another one over there," on the other side of the house, not far from the road.

"I'm not sure about this. It seems that there weren't so many haystacks before. Now the rice and corn have not been harvested yet, and the thatch in the fields has not turned yellow yet. I don't know why so much hay is piled up," Feng Ping explained.

"Something must be wrong if it's not normal. They should be careful. Captain Zhou, go and check the surroundings to see if there are any haystacks," Du Chenyu whispered to Zhou Kui.

Ten minutes later, Zhou Kui came back and said that there were four haystacks around, all not far from the roadside.

They returned to where the main force was lying in ambush.

"Tonight's operation has been cancelled because we are afraid of an ambush. We will go back and discuss before taking action," said Hu Laosi.

"Retreat...", Hu Laosi ordered.

We returned to the camp in the mountains, arranged the light and dark sentries, and began to rest.

After breakfast, Du Chenyu woke up from the tent and began to think about what happened last night. He called a few team leaders and started a discussion.

"Last night, when we went to attack, the outside of the Tan family seemed to be in a loose situation. I guess there were secret posts everywhere. The positions with haystacks almost guarded all the roads leading to the Tan family. Does anyone have any good ideas?" he asked.

"Fuck, use fire to burn all the rats to death," Li Long blurted out.

"How did you light the fire?" he asked.

"We have rockets, we can shoot them with sandalwood bows," said He Cunyi.

He made several homemade bows and arrows for the team members, but their accuracy was very poor and they were difficult to operate. They were used during training, with a range of more than 30 meters, and had never been used in actual combat.

"That makes sense, but we didn't bring any rockets or bows. Zhou Kui, take a few people back to get the rockets and bows, and bring a barrel of tung oil," Du Chenyu said to Zhou Kui. It seemed that they had to set up a special quartermaster and baggage team, and they couldn't rely on him to worry about everything at the last minute.

He asked Huang Kunyang to lead several team leaders to prepare a battle plan for him. The others continued to sleep in the camp to ensure their physical strength for the night. Around midnight, everyone advanced in the dark with the help of the half-moon in the sky.

About an hour and a half later, everyone stopped 1 kilometer away from the Tan family compound, and then attacked in three directions according to the established plan.

Du Chenyu and He Cunyi's team attacked from two directions of left and rear.

"Coo...Shhh..." A few sounds like birds were heard, which was the secret signal that everything was ready.

"Hush..." Then, a bright light streaked across the night sky and hit the haystack at the main gate. Then, torches and arrows flew to the haystacks or trees, and a few landed on a thatched hut. After the first wave, more than a dozen torches basically illuminated the surroundings of the compound. After throwing them, everyone continued to hide.

"Bang... Bang..." After the first rocket flew out, the enemies hiding in the dark and in the haystacks began to counterattack.

"The bandits are coming!" a scream came from the other side, piercing the dark night sky and mixed with gunshots.

The fires grew bigger and bigger everywhere, and the area around the houses became brighter and brighter.

After basically controlling all the firing points, their snipers fought back and set off bombs to throw at various firing points.

"Boom... Boom..." The mines began to explode, and the hiding enemies began to run around. The enemy gunmen of the People's Protection Team were knocked down one by one.

The first wave of fighting lasted about 5 minutes. Several outposts on the periphery were basically all knocked to the ground, and fires began to burn all around.

"Prepare the torches, disperse and advance 30 meters in secret," Hu Laosi gave the order. Flames were everywhere, and the torches soaked in tung oil ignited at a touch. The team began to attack forward. Their side also began to suffer casualties. The sneak attack turned into a violent assault. There was nothing they could do about it.

"Concentrate firepower to suppress and destroy the firepower points in the fortifications at the gate." Seeing that the attack was blocked, Zhou Kui suggested.

"All pistols are concentrated on attacking the defensive bunker at the entrance," Hu Laosi ordered.

"Da da da da da..." The three pistols continued to fire, and finally someone on the other side was hit. The firepower began to stop. Taking this opportunity, they advanced forward another 7-8 meters and threw several small mines and torches over. Most of the enemy's firepower points stopped firing.

"Pass the message, stop the attack and call for surrender," Du Chenyu said to Huang Kunyang.

"Pause the attack, listen up, people on the opposite side, we are the king of Chenjiashan, please give up resistance, just rob money and don't hurt people, otherwise no one will be spared, start the attack after 20 counts," Huang Kunyang began counting based on his experience from last time.

Before the count reached 10, the other party shouted surrender.

Du Chenyu did not enter the house, but watched from outside the yard. Hu Laosi led the team in. Everyone came out and squatted in the yard. In front of them was an old man in his 60s, about 1.65 meters tall, rather thin, probably the old man of the Tan family, Tan Shixiong.

"Please, my kings, spare my lives, and I will donate all my property," said the old man, clasping his fists and bowing.

"Old dog, hand over all your money and property, or I will kill your son." Hu Laosi picked out a 15 or 16-year-old boy from the crowd and fired several shots at his feet.

"Please spare my life, don't kill me, Daddy, please save me," the young man cried, paralyzed on the ground with his pants wet.

"Come on, take us to find the treasure, and I won't kill you," Hu Laosi threatened.

"Okay, I will take you there, please don't kill me," he continued crying.

"Tie up everyone, take this old man and boy with you, and go make a fortune," said Hu Laosi. The other old man was the housekeeper of the Tan family.
