"Brother Du, Brother Du, please support us. The enemy has launched a full-scale attack. My team has suffered heavy casualties. Please save our brothers." 20 minutes after the gunshots, Xiang Huaian saw that his father's team did not respond. It only took a few minutes to assemble last night, but they did not move tonight. It seems that they are just watching the fight between two tigers. Xiang Huaian sent several waves of signal soldiers to ask for help but did not see his father, so he came in person.

"Captain Xiang, what happened? Are the enemies launching another sneak attack? You are so strong, you can definitely resist it. Didn't you fire guns in the yard of my camp during the day? I'm going to take a nap. You have annihilated the enemy, and I'm congratulating you," said his father, standing at the door with his clothes on and a sleepy look on his face, to Xiang Huaian.

"Brother Du, please save our brothers quickly. We have lost more than 10 people in a short period of time, and the gunshots are getting closer. Here is 100 dollars. Give it to the brothers as a token of your appreciation." Xiang Huaian took out half a bag of dollars and handed it over.

"Thank you, Brother Xiang. But forget about that. Although we in Wuyin are a little poor, we don't need this little bit of money. It's enough for you brothers to have a few meals. It's not worth risking your lives," said my father, preparing to turn around and go back.

"Brother Du, let's be frank. I have been negligent in the past two days and I apologize for that. But the situation is indeed urgent tonight. The Red Light Cult is probably sending out their entire army and their offensive will be unprecedentedly strong. Just tell me what conditions you have and I will do my best to fulfill them," Xiang Huaian said hurriedly.

"In that case, I'll be polite. First of all, the departure fee for you brothers must not be less than 500 oceans. I will help you guard the street intersection, and you have to be willing to pay 1000 oceans. I plan for you to lead the team to attract the attack of the bandits at the north street intersection, and I will lead the team to attack directly from Wangjiaping to Heitugou, and go straight to the Heitugou bandit's lair. As long as we take this place, the Red Light bandits will have to withdraw, and the current problem will be completely solved," said my father.

"Brother Du, how did you determine that Heitugou was the lair of the religious bandits?" Xiang Huaian asked.

"In the afternoon, I interrogated the captives and learned from them that the bandits who attacked the Liziba area this time came from Hanzhong. Hanzhong suffered continuous bandit attacks at the beginning of the year, so last month Hanzhong Dao directly dispatched troops to suppress all bandits and cult forces. They are members of the Nanzheng Zongtan. They heard that there was a group of Red Lantern Cult members near Ningqiang, so they came here to seek refuge. As a result, they were incompatible with the local Red Lantern Cult forces headed by Ma Dasao and Zhang Zhenxian who were originally entrenched in Xiguan. In the end, they broke up and had to fight for their own territory. That's why their fighting power is so strong." His father told them in detail the Red Lantern Cult identity he fabricated in the letter, and Xiang Huaian had to believe it.

"Well, since Brother Du is so sure, I won't be reluctant to part with that little bit of money. Third brother, you go find the housekeeper to collect 600 dollars. We need to solve the Red Lantern Cult once and for all. I'll write an IOU for the rest and give it to you after we return victorious," Xiang Huaian said. He was haggling over a thousand dollars. It seemed that Xiang Huaian was either broke or a miser. I felt a little sympathetic to his situation, but seeing that he was still playing tricks when he was about to die, he must not be allowed to stay, otherwise he would be a disaster.

After a while, the man called Lao San brought a bag of dollars with some jewelry in it, and the total amount was about the same. "Lao San, you also accompany Commander Du along the way. First, help lead the way, and second, learn as much as possible from Brother Du's methods of leading troops," Xiang Huaian said.

After ten minutes of preparation, everyone broke camp, including the logistics and prisoners, and took them all away without leaving anyone behind. Huang Kunyang, as the vanguard, formed a battle formation and advanced quickly towards Wangjiaping, east of the exchange of fire.

They arrived at the exchange point in half an hour. There were only two teams attacking. As Du Chenyu personally led the team to join the attack, gunfire rang out in an instant and the opposite side had to retreat. "You hold on here and we will lead the attack," Huang Kunyang said to the few people defending here. They almost had the last line of defense left. They sincerely admired Xiang Huaian's loyal style of leading the troops in Liziba Fort. The team of dozens of people in the fort can still hold their positions. Such loyal militiamen have never been seen before. It is estimated that after this battle, Xiang Huaian will have less than 30 available troops.

All the teams waited in the bunkers until daybreak, and then the troops groped their way forward in battle formation towards Wangjiaping and attacked Wangjiaping.

In order to paralyze the military supervisor "Lao San" sent by Xiang Huaian, the attacking army could only fire sporadically along the way. My father and Lao San followed the rear team to hold the line and communicated cordially along the way. Near the Wangjiapingbao area, the gunfire suddenly became fierce. "Report to the regiment commander, the Wangjiaping area ahead encountered fierce resistance from the Red Lantern bandits, but we surrounded and attacked in three directions. The other side had only about 30 guards. Under the full attack of our troops, we have annihilated 8 enemies and captured 13. We suffered heavy casualties of 7 people. The enemy is evacuating to the Heitugou area. It is expected that Wangjiaping will be captured in a quarter of an hour," reported a reconnaissance communicator.

"Pass the order, attack with all your strength, the whole team should press forward and pursue towards Heitugou," my father replied, and the signalman took the order and left.

"Captain Li, I will send two people to protect you. Please go back immediately and help me report to the regiment commander, requesting him to lead the team to attack Shiqiangbao immediately. We will attack from two directions and meet outside Heitugou to ensure that we break through the bandit's lair in one fell swoop," my father said sincerely.

"Yes, Commander Du, I will go back and report the battle situation immediately. Of course, my brother-in-law will have to decide how to make the arrangements," the third brother replied. Accompanied by two guards, he ran back to report the military situation.

"Immediately block all intersections and make sure this news doesn't get out," my father ordered.

My father came to Wangjiaping with his guards, and I quickly rushed to my father's place. "Dad, you have arranged everything," he rode on a donkey and ran to my father's place with Peng Huiyu and others.

"Hu Zi, your mother in the house is worried again, so she asked me to help see if you have become thin and hungry in the mountains these days," his father took him from the donkey's back.

"I eat pheasants every day here, so I'm strong," he waved his fist in his father's arms. Everyone looked at them with a smile on their faces, waiting for orders.

"It's good that it's strong. At present, everything is going according to plan here, but it is not certain whether Xiang Huaian can personally lead the team out of the fort to attack Heitugou. I think he is very cautious in doing things and has been keeping an eye on us. What if he doesn't leave the fort?" asked the father.

"If you don't leave the fort, I will gather the troops and attack the fort directly from the Stone Wall Fort to eliminate the resistance. Then you will lead the team back from Wangjiaping to recapture Liziba. In this way, we can occupy the Liziba area with justification," said Du Chenyu.

"Okay, let's do as you arrange," said my father.

"Send the order. All the special service and reconnaissance teams will change out of their red light uniforms and put on training clothes. The team members originally stationed in the Wangjiaping area will continue to maintain local public security as 'surrenderers'. All teams will be under the command of my father. Peng Huiyu and I will retreat to the outer area of ​​Shiqiangbao and act when the time is right," he put away his smile and began to give orders.

“Yes,” everyone answered.

"Father, you have to be careful. The number of guards around you must not be less than 10 people. If the news leaks, Xiang Huaian will be doomed," he warned.

"I know. I won't go back to the castle for the time being. There are large troops guarding outside. It's safe," the father replied.

"Daddy, bye," he sat back on the donkey and waved.

"Huzi, you should also be careful and don't be too aggressive," said the father, patting the donkey gently.

After a brief reunion, we can only part in a hurry.
