Integrate all the information.
Ouyang Zhenyu thought about it for a moment and discussed it with Chu Wu.
"We can't just sit here and wait to die."
We don't know the details of the enemy's situation, but we know everything about their troops and weapons.
"How about we take a gamble?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Wu was stunned. Ouyang Zhenyu whispered it in his ear.
Chu Wu stared at Ouyang Zhenyu in astonishment. How could this man be so bold? He must have eaten the gall of a bear and the heart of a leopard!
But Ouyang Zhenyu was just too persuasive, especially since his fortune-telling had managed to get even the stubborn Ma Laosan to confess everything.
I'm still reeling from what happened on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. The feeling of admiration I had was truly awe-inspiring.
"If we don't make it through, then my whole group will be wiped out."
On the fifth day, looking at his brother with concern, Ouyang Zhenyu addressed the crowd.
"So we'll form a 30-man suicide squad, and the rest of us will lead the villagers back to the mine."
Given the terrain of the mine, it can be defended.
This way, we can preserve our strength. Even if some of us die, the rest of us can still survive.
"I think once we've killed all these people, we won't have to think about anything else."
Ouyang Zhenyu was plotting in his mind that these people should not be allowed to return to the country, since these people always hid overseas.
They're afraid of being caught by the domestic police; once caught, they'll all be executed.
This is a rare opportunity. They will bring so many people back to the border and back here. Once there is any disturbance, it will not be so easy to catch them again.
Clearly, this is a life-or-death situation, and these people will continue to cause trouble at the border even after they return abroad.
Ma Laosan explained very clearly that this batch of detonators was intended to blow up dams, power plants, and also to destroy the people's governments of two border cities.
How many civilians would die?
Because of this, Ouyang Zhenyu felt he couldn't be soft-hearted.
Contacting the police is definitely out of the question; it's no wonder they can't find outside help under the current circumstances.
Since that's the case, let's just go all the way.
On the fifth day, after discussing it with the others and whispering among themselves, they indeed selected 30 people, and the rest were sent back to the mine with Liu Dashan and his group of villagers.
Ouyang Zhenyu counted the items in his hand; there were currently three boxes of detonators.
Then there's the fact that they only have 15 guns and limited ammunition, plus the batch of guns they seized from Brother Shan and his gang.
They managed to arm the three or ten men, but the bullets were indeed limited. After all, Brother Shan and his men weren't there to fight a war; the bullets they had were only meant to threaten the miners.
Ouyang Zhenyu had his men separate Shan Ge and the other prisoners and put them in different courtyards.
They weren't silenced.
The next day at noon, 100 people, covered in dust, arrived at the village entrance on horseback.
"Da Lei, is this the place you're talking about?"
Looking at this quiet little mountain village, they all felt a little uneasy.
The man called Da Lei rode over on horseback.
"The boss is here."
Ma Laosan was arrested here; I saw them take him there with my own eyes.
"Everyone be careful."
The man called the leader waved his hand, and everyone immediately dismounted, tied their horses up in the woods, and left five men there to watch over them.
The remaining people quickly dispersed into formation and surrounded the village.
If anyone could see their formation, they would be surprised to find that these people seemed to have been trained.
They had formed an encirclement around the village, and now they had completely surrounded it.
Just then, cries for help came from the village.
"Help! Help! Is anyone there? Please help us!"
"Can anyone hear us? Help us!"
The middle-aged man who was leading the group was blind in one eye, which he covered with a black eye patch.
Let's just call him One Eye for now.
One-Eyed waved at Lei Zi, and Lei Zi and his men quickly sneaked into the village. A short while later, Lei Zi and his men swaggered out.
"Boss, those people in this village ran away a long time ago."
The ones crying for help now are Shan Ge's men.
“We’ve checked everything. The yard is empty. There’s nothing there except these people. There’s no danger.”
With one eye leading the group, they searched the entire village again, and sure enough, apart from the twenty-odd prisoners, there was no one else.
One-Eyed led the people to untie them.
"Where's your Brother Shan?"
"Boss, Brother Shan was killed by those guys."
"You must avenge Brother Shan! Those people captured Ma Laosan last night, but we don't know what they got out of him. They just fled back to the mine with their men."
One-Eyed heard this but didn't take it seriously.
He knew Ma Laosan too well; he was his brother, and Ma Laosan was absolutely loyal and devoted.
Ma Laosan would never explain the relationship between the two.
But why did these people leave? It's obvious that there's someone plotting behind the scenes.
Clearly, they had sensed the danger and evacuated in advance to avoid being wiped out in one fell swoop.
But he knew the situation at the mine well; it was easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Should we waste our own bullets and weapons to attack the mine?
Just to avenge Brother Shan?
Judging from this, Brother Shan must be dead. Once these villagers escape, they will definitely go to the police, and this place is no longer safe.
