Chapter 74: Collecting Dust
"The rebels carried heavy cars and walked no faster than us. They could catch up with them by following the ruts!"
Forty or fifty people pushed more than a dozen vehicles carrying a large amount of property in Li Tao's mouth. The horse's hoof ruts and messy footprints were simply too obvious in the mountain road.
These rebels without their backbone are not as good as those of Heiling bandits. At least the experienced bandits know how to cover up their whereabouts, but they don't know.
After following the ruts and footprints for more than half an hour, what really made Chen Mujun discover their traces was the shouts of killing from the forest - the rebels who had lost their leader and had internal conflicts. More than fifty people were divided into four groups to fight and kill, and seven or eight people were sitting in the mountains to watch the tiger fight.
Chen Mu, who had arrived from a distance, saw this scene without saying a word, and called the bird gun and the long archer rushed over first. He was nearly thirty or fifty steps and caught the fighting rebels off guard, "Rise the gun! Let it go!"
The convex rope had been plugged in, and the lead pills had been installed. This was probably the most refreshing time for Chen Mu to launch his bird gunners to this day. More than a dozen bird guns were fired in unison when they faced the enemy thirty or forty steps, and the longbowman also shot his bow and arrows at this distance.
The lead ball feather arrow fell on the ground in a blink of an eye, screaming bitterly.
Chen Mu's only idea is to take this distance, this kind of enemy, and this number of bird gun teams to fight three stages. The longbowman takes turns shooting and takes the lead in killing the enemy's vitality to the greatest extent.
Bang! Bang bang!
More than a dozen bird guns were shot in such a battle with only half a dozen troops on both sides. They shot in a handful of feather arrows in the smoke and knocked down several rebels first. Then several rebels were injured by the raid arrows and screamed in great pain.
"What's going on? Where did the officers and soldiers come from!"
The rebels were not counted as more than 30 injured in the internal strife. Before they could react, they were killed and injured 30% of them. They wanted to put aside the dispute and responded in a hasty manner. In the smoke of gunpowder, the official army shouted loudly, tearing apart the strong and powerful sword player and the light and strong spear player and rushed to the front.
Of course, the two invincible general flag guards who wield long swords are indispensable.
Chen Mu had just lifted his sword and rushed forward two steps when he heard Shao Tingda in front shouting in a familiar voice, "The surrendered ones will not be killed." The rhythm of the battle was so fast that even the officer, the leader, could not react and almost tripped by the sudden stop.
He simply held Wei Balang's back collar and pulled it to his side, stood with a knife in front, looked at the one-sided situation not far away, turned his face and enjoyed the respect from Juren.
Juren Li was rushing up with a big sword and spear. He had just rushed to about ten steps away from Chen Junye. There was a sound of "ping-pong" in the forest - the rebels were only seven living people left, and they threw down their weapons and knelt on the ground to beg for mercy.
No, there were eight. A rebel was fleeing deep into the dense forest, and then a gun was sounded behind him.
Bang!
The figure fleeing in panic and froze and slowly fell to the ground. Now there are seven living people.
Shiqi took advantage of the recoil and pulled the bird gun back and stood on the ground, turned around and whispered to Chen Mu: "General Flag, we won, no casualties!"
From the time he fired the first gun to the time he loaded the medicine and stuffed the projectiles into it, killing the last rebels standing, the battle lasted for thirty breaths.
Li Tao was wrapped in a rebel army and walked a hundred miles away. In half a month, he saw the rebels killing all directions and attacking the guards and destroying the site. He had never seen the rebels rushing up the guards and fleeing. He had never seen the current situation, and his eyes were straightened.
Not to mention that the local heroes were all stupid, Chen Mu was a little relieved when the flag army achieved such a record.
Chen Junye, who took up all the right time, place and people, and had devoted himself to the exchanges of this era, fought hard and bloody battles everywhere, finally led his troops to fight a battle with great strength and boost his energy!
Shao Tingda quickly tied up the seven surrendered rebels, and then Chen Mu put his knife in the sheath, took a step and glanced around the left and right, and said with a smile: "Dig a pit and bury money, and there is internal strife. You are uneven in sharing the spoils!"
More than a dozen cattle and horse carriages unloaded wooden boxes next to them, and most of them were dug out of the deep pit, and several boxes, books, silk, and copper coins were half buried in the pit, and the bodies were scattered all over the floor. There was no need to ask, Chen Mu already knew what happened to them.
Several rebels were tied up and still kowtowed to beg for mercy. However, Chen Mu ignored it and assigned various flags to count the wealth and goods. He smiled at Li Tao: "Jun Li, don't hold a knife, are you tired? Take the people to see if there is less wealth and goods. If there is no problem, let's drive the car frame back to the military camp."
"The sun sets, and I'm going to have a meal when I go back."
Li Tao was a little surprised when he answered the conversation, but it didn't last long. He then clicked the village emperor behind him to take a rough look at the wooden box with him, and found a few important things. He just took a look at the others casually, and drove back with Chen Mu and others in a cattle and carriage.
For Li Tao, what is important is his proof of his identity as a juren, and his twenty taels of water and land archway silver given by the attendant when he passed the exam. Without these things, he would not be able to go to Beijing to take the exam.
For the people, they value money they had when they fled the city walls, and more importantly, the house deeds and land deeds in their luggage. Heyuan County was destroyed long ago, and it would take more than half a year to rebuild. If these things were not done well, they would be homeless.
After packing up his things, he drove the Niuma back to the military camp. On the way, he intercepted Bai Yuanjie from the military camp, "General Chen Qi, hurry up and go back. General Yu sent an order, saying that the war was settled and we were going to escort the captives of the people, and thousands of households were waiting for you."
When Chen Mu returned, Bai Yuanjie had a great chat with the officials who had received merits sent by Yu Dayou. He happened to meet at the gate of the military camp. The officials bowed to Chen Mu specifically and said with a smile: "This is General Chen's flag. General Yu said that the binoculars are from your hands. They have made many achievements in this battle. The official is polite!"
After sending off the meritorious officials, Chen Mu smiled and whispered to Bai Yuanjie: "Thousand households have won a great victory against the thieves, and no subordinates have been killed or injured. Those thieves did carry a lot of money and property, all of which were with Juren and the people."
"Stop it, money is nothing but external things."
Bai Yuanjie waved her hand casually and pulled Chen Mu to the side and said, "Tomorrow morning, we will march towards Heyuan and escort the people on the road. Never cause any trouble. You should recruit some servants and choose among the refugees."
"The people sent by General Yu said that the war has been completed. After doing this, we can go back to Qingyuan."
When he said this, Bai Yuanjie didn't see much happiness on her face. She just shook her head and said, "I have been practicing for half a year and I have been fighting for a fight... Not to mention these, if Juren Li can go high school next year, it will be of great benefit to you in the future. It will be no harm to you when he talks to him more."
