After Li Hailong dealt with everything, he rushed to Captain Wang's small captain's room and found some familiar people inside, namely Gong Xueming, the deputy director of the patrol boat and Zhou Jianguo, the captain of the patrol boat. It seemed that Captain Wang had already introduced the situation on Tokyo Island to the two people. Therefore, the moment Li Hailong entered, the two people immediately stood up and saluted to Li Hailong and made a report,

" Deputy Director of XX Border Defense Station, Gong Xueming, reporting to the deputy commander."

"Salute! XX patrol boat captain Zhou Jianguo reporting to the deputy commander!”

Li Hailong looked at the two of them with red eyes and knew that it was not easy for these two. They had to guard them in fear after taking them down. The pressure must be very great! Therefore, he returned the salute respectfully to the two of them. At the same time, he pretended to say regretfully,

"Sigh! I say, please don't be like this! Aren't you making me look bad? How am I supposed to face the people on the island if you keep doing this? They were usually still brothers…Commander Wang, I think we should take over their protection as soon as possible so that they can have a good rest. They are too tired. Look at these two people. Their eyes are almost as good as national treasures!”

"That's right! I told them the same thing just now. Now that most of the militiamen have gone ashore, it doesn't seem like a big problem in terms of strength. If it doesn't work, we can still retreat to the ship. Good! Just do as Xiao Li says. The two of you should explain the situation to Xiao Li as soon as possible. Then, both of you should rest and recuperate before I arrange your tasks!”

"Yes, sir! I will definitely complete the mission!"

Very quickly, under the transportation of several transport boats, the 50 militia and 10 anti-smuggling team had already reached the shore. Then, under the leadership of Gong Xueming, they followed the earth wall all the way to Dinghai City.

On the way, Gong Xueming quietly pulled Li Hailong and asked,

"Why are there only so many of you here this time? I think it's a little too little! You don't know, but when we caught these Englishmen last night, the city was in chaos!

At first, I sent a few people out and captured a few locals. Only then did I realize that they thought we were bandits from some place. Therefore, everyone fled out of the city regardless of the night. I only had less than 20 people on shore. I still had to watch over the captives. How could I manage such a big city?

In addition, they could not see clearly at night, so they could only guard the buildings in the county and use the flashlight to shine around. The area near the city gate was filled with people. Fortunately, the searchlights on the patrol boats kept sweeping back and forth here, which suppressed them! Now that we think about it, we still feel a little scared!”

"Sigh! I say, old brother! I don't know what to say about you! You should know that there are only a few people on our island, right? Sending these militia here is also digging up my roots! Think about it, with such a short time, there's no time to prepare anything. If it weren't for your brother, I wouldn't have sent so many people without care!

If it was someone else, I wouldn't care about him! Think about Zhoushan, it won't run away on its own. Even if it wanted to take it down, there was no need to rush, right? Now that you're doing this, we'll have to work on both sides. Where are we going to get this manpower…"

"Brother, I like what you said! This was what a good brother should be like! You helped me today! There's no need to say anything. In the future, as long as you have anything to say, I won't say anything! But you don't know.

At that time, he did not know what was going on, but he realized that the Englishmen here were not on guard at all. They were only holding some shotguns. The boat was also the same. It was just a broken sampan. So, when his brothers picked it up, they immediately went up to fight! Then he thought about the pile of things that happened later!”

Li Hailong was extremely depressed right now. It seemed like this Gong Xueming was really one-track minded! Even if he wanted to get credit, he couldn't do it this way! Thinking about his comrades, why did they feel like they were the same? It was as if he had kicked the party committee aside and started a revolution. He had to remind him not to cause a fire in his backyard!

"However, brother, I admire you for doing a good job this time! With so many Englishmen, it won't be that easy to catch them even if they were pigs…"

"Hehe, if you're not happy, then say it. This old brother has picked up a bargain this time!”

Speaking of this matter, Gong Xue Ming was extremely proud.

"At that time, I sent a few team members over to scout. Although it was a little dark, they couldn't see us. We saw them clearly. The city's terrain is a little low. If there was one good thing about this old society, it was that they ate and slept early! The sky hadn't completely darkened yet, and the people here were already planning to close their doors and rest! This way, it will naturally be easier for us to scout. Do you know what you saw?”

"What?"

"So most of the Englishmen here are injured and sick ghosts! Some of them couldn't even walk. It turned out that they were using this place as a hospital! Hehe!"

"How did this happen?"

"Who knows? Anyway, when the scouts saw it, wasn't this a business that was delivered to their doorstep? He quickly noted down who lived in which house and how many people there were before reporting the situation!

If one had to say that this Englishman was not bad, it was that he was very disciplined! The scouts looked at them and realized that these guys had to concentrate their weapons at night. Wasn't this giving me a huge advantage? When we got on the boat, everyone said that they wanted to do it. I softened my heart and gave it to…hehe "

"It's not that simple, right? There are nearly 200 people here. As long as one of them shouts, the few of you won't be enough for them to drink…"

"Of course, we really didn't want to do it on land. First of all, we wanted to seize their ship. We didn't expect to catch their leader on the ship!

We secretly sent a few people to rope their boat. Then, when those guys found that there were not many people on the boat, they didn't go through the trouble of tying them up! After that, when he asked, this guy was straightforward and told him everything! They even asked us to treat them politely!"

It really fulfilled the saying that the type of person was the type of person! Look at what kind of people they are! Li Hailong could only smile bitterly…

"Later, we decided to go to the city. The sky was dark anyway. We climbed into the city and saw that all the houses were closed. There was not even a dog in the city. That Englishman was really pitiful. Perhaps it had been a long time since anyone had hit them?

"Therefore, those sentries were also very numb. They were kidnapped by us and did not understand the situation. However, when they saw that we had no intention of killing them, they were quite cooperative! Then, he moved all the way to the four city gates. Then, he used the infrared mirror to check the rooms one by one and checked the numbers.

We stole the weapons first! That was really deadly. Not only were there bird guns, but there were also knives and swords. They were really heavy. There were also the pistols of the officials. They couldn't steal them, so they tied them up first. When they woke up, they would think that they had encountered some monster!

Hehe, who in this era had ever seen a sack? After that, there was a commotion and these stupid soldiers ran out. We didn't care about them and let them stay in the courtyard to make a scene! We just need to guard a few doors and walls. Perhaps these guys have never seen our emergency lights at night, so when their company commander comes over and calls them a few times, they are quite obedient.

However, when the commotion started, the residents of the city started to make a fuss. At first, a few of them even ran over to take a look. After we chased them away, the entire city started to make a fuss. I saw that chaos…

Later, I saw that it had been exposed, so I asked the patrol boats to shine searchlights here. It seemed that the city people were silent, but they were all hiding at the city gate. They were probably frightened and did not dare to go out of the city or go home. The searchlights shone back and forth in the middle of the night, and it was as bright as day outside.

These ancient people were naturally frightened and did not dare to move. When the sky lit up, these people dispersed. It also made us relax a little. To be honest, the process was really too intense and exciting! If you guys didn't come, we wouldn't know what to do next. I think the hands of those members watching are going to go stiff!”

"Then hurry up!"

"How long has it been? And faster! Let's go into the city!"

The militia were now looking at the ancient, dilapidated city gates and walls with curiosity. It was not that they had never seen a well-preserved ancient city before, but now it was an authentic ancient city! The feeling was naturally different.

However, now was not the time for them to admire it. Li Hailong quickly gave the order to adjust the preparation. He asked a few squads to replace the patrol boat members and take over the defense area. When the people who sent the patrol boats back to the county office, they found that several streets were in a mess. The foundation was filled with bricks and tiles. It did not seem to have been burned, but it seemed to have been completely demolished by people…

Li Hailong felt that his thinking was a little lacking. What kind of thing was this? Jie didn't look any better than him, so he might as well ask himself!

However, there was no one on the street at the moment. There was no place to ask about it. He returned to the county office with deep doubts and found that the county office was already under tight control. There were two guards outside the door, two machine gun firing points opposite the door, and one guard inside. Ha, it could be considered a small stronghold!

Stepping into the gate and passing through the wall, before they stepped into the main hall of the county government, they found Captain Wang in the room with the two braids, followed by two anti-smuggling members. They hurriedly went in and greeted Captain Wang,"

"Chief Commander Wang, why didn't you tell me that you were coming? I could have picked you up, right?”

"Haha, Little Li! I'm here, and you still need to pick me up? No matter what, I'm at home! I should be the one picking you up! Hahaha, come, come, sit! Even if you didn't come over, I would have looked for you. Have you arranged everything outside?”
