Chapter 371 The Choice of Bandits and the Civilians

Out of the accident between Chen Yunfa and Mo Xiaomao, after Diao Ye explained his "last words", the bandits who were pale and thin in their faces were packing up their things and preparing to run away were all shouting that they would follow the leader to fight against the Black Hawk Empire.

Few showed fear.

Sun Hongzhen smiled wryly and explained to Chen Yunfa, "Qi Xin, this is also the most important reason why the bandits in Qinglong Mountain can last for twenty years in this place where birds do not shit."

Although they are all peasant-level bandits who don’t know a lot, they are far better than those scholars who are well-read in poetry and books but are quicker than anyone else’s betrayal. They have a great sense of belonging to Qinglong Mountain, especially Diao Ye, who is left by the old village leader, even though he is careless in personality, most of them are not reliable.

Correspondingly, although Diao Ye has a poor leadership ability, he has also done what a leader should do, such as the rabbit meat he mentioned earlier. If you want to improve your food in this mountain, you can naturally only hunt, but this wild creature can't be beaten with just one touch of your mouth, and even experienced hunters may not be able to gain every day. There are hundreds of mouths to feed in the mountain village.

A guy who likes to eat meat so much can actually hold back and not eat meat for half a year, giving all the few preys he has caught to the weak of Qinglong Mountain.

Loyalty is never one-sided.

Now that they saw the leader going to fight against the Black Hawk Empire, they would run away by themselves and let the leader go there? The crowd excitedly stood behind Diao Ye with their most advantageous weapons, and they didn't even take care of the meat they had cherished just now.

Humans are animals in society. Although they have already decided to die, Chen Yunfa and Mo Xiaomao are naturally warm in their hearts when they use their actions to support themselves. However, seeing that most of them are holding hatchets that are only one foot long, and even some people simply hold a pine stick as thick as an arm. Although there are branches that have not been removed on them, are they going to be used as maces?

Chen Yunfa still felt a painful whine in his heart. This was to send military merits to the Black Hawk Empire!

Still thinking about how to speak without hurting people's hearts, Sun Hongzhen laughed and said, "Sir, let them go, don't worry, I promise, they will be more useful than you think."

Seeing that Chen Yunfa was still hesitant, Sun Hongzhen said again: "Don't worry, if they won't be too close to the guns and cannons of the Black Hawk Empire, just use flags and shouts to help the reputation. Moreover, we need manpower to carry the cannons up the mountain."

"Cann?" Chen Yunfa's eyes suddenly opened.

"Yes, I remember you said that there were cannons in that batch of goods. And those brothers and I were artillerymen." Sun Hongzhen's face gradually became proud as soon as he said the cannon. "I can let the Black Hawk Empire see that the Northern Army is not as weak as they imagined, and they don't even dare to resist. The artillery shells of our Northern Army can also kill them."

"Haha, yes, you can use cannons, Mr. Sun, you have helped a lot now." Chen Yunfa laughed.

How to say it! This is completely a blessing from the sky. Boss Ji sent two cannons and 4,000 shells at the right time. However, there were twenty artillery soldiers living in the bandits in Qinglong Mountain who had a deep hatred of the Black Hawk Empire. This was a big pit that God buried for the Black Hawk Empire.

The three elements of artillery, cannons and shells are all gathered together, and they are of the advantage of terrain. This battle is much easier to fight than the previous two people, a rifle and a machine gun.

No, to be precise, it turned out to be a deadly attack into a blocking battle. As long as Sun Hongzhen could say to him, the artillery of the Northern Army was also good. He could accurately deliver shells to the Black Hawk Empire from 4 miles away, Chen Yunfa would have the ability to make the Black Hawk Empire unable to advance. The remaining 380 rounds of the MG42 machine gun could at least cause the Black Hawk Empire to suffer nearly 100 casualties.

Although the outcome is still unpredictable, no matter what, I have the capital to compete with the Black Hawk Empire.

On Liu Jinzuo's side, the performance of hundreds of civilians also moved Chen Yunfa and Mo Xiaomao. Half of the civilians were willing to fight with the Black Hawk Empire Army with Liu Jinzuo.

"We cannot watch two southerners fight for us northerners, it is a shame for us northerners."

The reason was simple to make the two soldiers feel that they crossed three thousand miles from the southwest of the kingdom to this north to guard Gu Pass and fight with the Black Hawk Imperial Army.

Yes, although they have some regional colors, the kingdom has no north and south. If the north is gone, the south will not be there. They came from the market and did not understand this truth, but they used the decision to die to explain the meaning of the four words "Defend the country" and interpret the blood nature of the northern man.

With two hundred rifles, it will naturally have more deterrent power to the Black Hawk Empire people. Since even the bandits carrying "mads" accepted it, Chen Yunfa no longer pretentiously and quickly reorganized the 200 civilians, divided them into two teams, each with a hundred people, led by Liu Jinzuo and another strong man with some prestige in the team.

As for the other 200 civilians, Chen Yunfa naturally would not blame him. He only asked them to hand over 150 guns, leaving only 50 shots as self-defense, and protecting more than 100 elderly, weak women and children who are not suitable for fighting in Qinglong Mountain to retreat to the south of the ancient city. Given that Qingzhangpo had been occupied by the Black Hawk Army, Chen Yunfa suggested that they bring enough food to continue to stay in the mountains, instead of rushing out of the mountainous areas blindly to run towards Xinjing City. If they meet the Black Hawk Army, their fate will not be much better than starving to death in the mountains.

It's best to wait in the mountains. Even if you can't come back, the independent group will come to find them. Of course, this is also a small warning from Chen Yun to these people.

Chen Yunfa was not worried that these 200 people would abandon more than 100 elderly, weak and weak women and children in Qinglong Mountain. In this mountain, the role of 100 elderly, weak and weak women and children is much stronger than that of 200 strong men. When there is enough food, no one will and no one dares to abandon them.

However, Liu Lang's teaching was very successful. Chen Yunfa dared not underestimate human nature. What if there was not enough food! More than 100 elderly, weak women and children were definitely the first to be abandoned. Therefore, as the highest commander who can issue orders now, Chen Yunfa must consider this factor.

He not only said that, but also did so. In front of everyone, he wrote a letter of help to Yao Shisan in code, and he was the messenger who let the independent group know all the information here.

The leaders sent by the civilians were not stupid either. They knew that Chen Yunfa was right, so they handed over the guns with their hands, carrying the food they carried up the mountain with more than 100 old, weak and young women and children in Qinglong Mountain who were reluctant to leave and cry and say goodbye to the south of the mountain.

The 150 guns were quickly distributed to bandits with shooting experience, plus the original more than 100 earth guns, and the more than 270 shorts, the young and strong bandits also became "army" with modern firearms. They were also divided into three teams, led by a second-hand man himself, and the other two teams gave him the Bang Lao Er and Sun Hongzhen whom he mentioned.

Of course, the two teams of men, led by Bang Lao Er and Sun Hongzhen, who were equipped with earth guns, were more laborers and were responsible for transporting two mountain cannons and shells weighing 600 kilograms.

Don't think that two hundred men and horses have many guns to serve. The imitation of the 41-style mountain cannon grenade weighs 5.4 kilograms. Each of them can carry at most two. In total, only about 300 shells are transported, and at least 40 people have to move the two guns.

However, these 300 shells are enough to support a battalion-level field battle.

Under the threat of death, everyone was very efficient. In just half an hour, everyone carried their weapons to fight the Black Hawk Empire.

Of course, the Black Hawk Imperial Army who were marching in the mountains had not yet known that they were targeted by a mob composed of a group of kingdom bandits and civilians who were not afraid of death.

At this moment, they are sending vanguards to search the hills that emitted wolf smoke.
