Chapter 749 Who Is the Loser?

"Yes." He Lingchuan knelt down and checked the deceased's neck. After the head was put back, you could see that there were four small holes in the neck of the deceased, and there were also rows of teeth marks and gnawing marks. "This murderer is not simple."

"What is this wound?"

"A blood-sucking wound." Human-shaped, easy to suck blood. He Lingchuan was not only familiar with this kind of monster, but also dealt with it every day not long ago.

When the guards behind him heard this, their expressions changed.

Human beings are naturally afraid of blood-sucking monsters.

Unexpectedly, Ba would appear among the Takigawa Bandits.

He Lingchuan couldn't bear to tell Chao Qian that Ba didn't like to eat dead people's blood. Therefore, when it sucked blood, Miao Mingming was still alive.

"The other teams that were attacked did not have such wounds. So the blood-sucking guy must have been full in the first battle."

Yes, in addition to the death of Miao Mingming's team, three patrol teams were also attacked on the Southern Commercial Road in the past twelve hours, killing thirty-nine people and injuring fourteen others.

There were more martyrs than wounded, which shows the brutality of the battle and the ferocity of the opponents.

In terms of time, Miao Mingming's team was the first team to be killed.

"This is the water bandits' counterattack." He Lingchuan stood up and walked outside the courtyard. Everyone quickly followed, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.

The stench of corpses in the room was so strong that I almost vomited on the spot.

"We have been very effective in cleaning up the southern trade routes recently, and the other party plans to find another way to fight us."

The great victory in the defense battle of Yuheng City dampened the arrogance of the Longchuan water bandits; after that, Yuheng City continued its efforts and formed a patrol team with its newly trained troops to patrol the southern trade routes and nearby villages. Actual combat training, on the one hand, suppress bandits and clear away troubles.

This is also the first and most basic step in He Lingchuan’s plan:

Strictly control the security environment on the southern trade routes and reduce the living space for water bandits.

There are more than fifty gangs in Takigawa. Once they cannot grab enough goods, there will definitely be problems among the water bandits.

However, the Longchuan water bandits were more cunning than their counterparts in the Panlong Wasteland after all, so they still came up with a countermeasure and actually dared to attack the Yuheng City patrol in broad daylight.

This is an open challenge.

The door panel said bitterly: "Surge into this gang station and kill them all without leaving a trace!"

He Lingchuan asked Chao Qian: "Do you know which gang it is?"

Chao Gan shook his head: "There are no marks on the clothes or weapons. They took away the bodies of the dead gangsters themselves."

"In which gangs' areas of influence did these attacks occur?"

"I only know that the Manjia Village area has been designated by the Qiuhua Gang as their plunder territory, and I don't know the rest." Chao Qian replied, "These gangs often fight within themselves, and the division of forces often changes. Only by asking the insider stationed in Takigawa can we find out.”

He Lingchuan frowned.

Since Panlong City captured Xiqiao, Yuheng City has been suppressing bandits for several months, but they haven't even fully understood the internal force structure and territory division of the bandits. Isn't this a kind of arrogance?

The officers and soldiers naturally looked down on the bandits; the troops from Panlong City looked down on the rabble hiding in the Longchuan River.

However, this time the suppression of bandits may not be that simple or easy.

"There are external forces involved in Takigawa."

Chao Qian immediately said: "Jin Yuguo."

Jin Ying refused to give up and secretly funded the Longchuan water bandits and rebels. Yuheng City was already wary of this matter.

He Lingchuan glanced at him: "Not only that? There is also the Northern Demon Country."

"Bega?" Everyone was moved, "Bega interfered with Takigawa?"

"The wound on Miao Mingming's neck was caused by a demon." He Lingchuan turned around and looked at them, "In this world, I only heard that there is a demon in the northern demon country!"

Counting the time, Fushanyue's father is now making his mark in Bega. Without its astonishing military exploits, how could it be qualified to establish the Thirteenth Demon Kingdom in the future?

Seeing the shocked expressions on everyone's faces, He Lingchuan said slowly: "You have experienced hundreds of battles and look down on the Takigawa water bandits. Now that Bega may have intervened, do you dare to continue to look down upon them?"

His eyes were like a torch, scanning everyone's faces, and the latter lowered their heads one after another, not even daring to speak.

"Listen up, I also want to rush into Longchuan and kill them all, but it's not time yet. Commander Xiao has already done this, but it has had little effect." He Lingchuan said solemnly, "The next struggle will be It will be a stalemate and last long, and the water bandits' counterattack will be more fierce, but our squeeze on Takigawa will also be tougher. It's a matter of strength, and it depends on who can't hold on first!"

Chao Qian, Liu Tiao, Menpan and others all clapped their chests hard and shouted: "Panlong, we will win!"

Adhering to the belief of the Panlong City army, they never give up, no matter what kind of competition it is.

"Transport the bodies of our brothers back to Yuheng City and give them a grand burial; add ten more groups of patrols on the southern trade route, with each group increasing to thirty people; we will clean up the water bandits outside Longchuan twice more recently; we will punish those who killed our brothers. There will be a heavy reward for the murderer." He Lingchuan ordered, "If you can report important clues, you will be rewarded with fifty taels of gold."

Everyone should be doing their own business.

Chao Qian wanted to speak but stopped.

The identities of the water bandits who killed Miao Mingming and others are unknown, and it is unknown which bandit was responsible. Why did the commander directly order the clearing of the outskirts of Longchuan River?

He Lingchuan saw his confusion and explained:

"The people inside Longchuan are not monolithic. If we step up the crackdown, the gangsters in Longchuan will only think that the murderer has angered the authorities and provoked crazy revenge. They will also be dissatisfied with the murderer."

They didn't do it, but they have to bear the consequences. Who can be without resentment?

The internal situation in Longchuan is complicated. All the gangs should not be considered as a whole. It is better to divide and transform them.

He Lingchuan has also read the information and records left by Commander Xiao. After taking over General Hong's work and clearing out the rebels in Xijue, Xiao Maoliang set about rectifying the bandit problem in Longchuan.

He initially wanted to cut the Gordian knot and surrounded and suppressed them, but failed.

He also tried a decapitation operation, directly leading the army into Longchuan to attack the largest local gang. In that battle, more than 600 bandits were eliminated.

The effect was also not good, because there were more than 50 gangs in Longchuan. He defeated one, and its territory and power were naturally divided by the rest. In the end, nothing changed. Instead, he cleared the obstacles for other gangs to become bigger and stronger.

Wen Daolun said that Xiao Maoliang did a good job in eliminating bandits, which was actually an exaggeration.

Xiao Maoliang did a good job in other things, except eliminating bandits... On the other hand, if he was good at eliminating bandits, why would Panlong City replace him with He Lingchuan?

This is the new task assigned to He Lingchuan by Panlong City, which must be completed, but the banditry in Longchuan may not be so easy.

He Lingchuan thought that he had to take multiple measures.

However, why did the Northern Demon Country target Longchuan and Yuheng City again?

Is it adhering to the usual style of stirring up trouble and creating local wars and conflicts here? After all, the gods worshipped by Beijia need nightmares.

Or are they still suspicious of Mitian and Panlong City?
