Chapter 9 Wuhe [Good morning, traveler! 】
Good is not effective, bad is effective.
Bai Yuanjie thought about not meeting bandits all the way, but they rushed on the road. When they crossed the Hei Ridge, they still dragged it until it was dark. They were going to stay overnight in the ridge, which made everyone feel nervous.
Everyone found a valley in the black ridge and tied up cars and horses to camp on the spot. They lit a bonfire and sat aside to eat some dry food. Zhang Yongshou looked at the crowd as if they were facing a great enemy and smiled disapprovingly: "I want me to tell you that you don't have to panic. The attacked merchants still have companions to escape. We were twenty people in a group of people, each carrying weapons and even bird guns. No, five. Are you still afraid of mere bandits?"
Bai Yuanjie didn't say anything, Chen Mu smiled and said, "What Zhang Xiaoqi said makes sense, but if you are not afraid of being afraid, you should be prepared."
Chen Mu had a good impression of Zhang Yongshou, but just listening to his words, he thought that he might not be able to make much achievements in the future in the future of military officers. In fact, the group is more or less alert now, but Zhang Yongshou is not at all alert, and his small flag is also surrounded by a bonfire without any warning. Bai Yuanjie is really alert. Even this garrison camp is the best place he chose to arrange defense, with stones on all sides. Even if he is attacked at night, he only needs to be on guard against an exit in front.
As for Chen Mu? Chen Mu is fake vigilance and really scared.
When he set out for Guangzhou Prefecture, he had not yet made enough mental preparations. He felt that even if he met bandits along the way, it would be no big deal. He would just meet on a narrow road and follow the formation he trained to rush over. But when things were about to come, even if he hadn't met bandits, just thinking about it would let him know that everything was not as simple as he thought.
A bandit who kills people without blinking by pursuing money?
Even if he had experience in the military, Chen Mu was not a lunatic or a lunatic, and it was fake that he was not afraid of it.
After eating dry food, I started to work at night. All the six flag managers under my command received Chen Mu's instructions. Even the felts that were spread out when they were sleeping were directly involved in the battle in order to maintain the formation suddenly. Especially Shao Tingda and Wei Balang, one of his confidants was on the left and the other on the right, which allowed him to sleep with peace of mind.
Everyone was nervous and stayed up late before they fell asleep. Although Bai Yuanjie, including Bai Yuanjie, no one has ever experienced the war for a long time. However, Shiqi and Zhang Yongshou's two flag directors and four Bai family soldiers were a little calmer... They are the ruthless characters who have ever killed people.
The rustling sound at night woke Chen Mu. When he opened his eyes, he saw the dim bonfire reflecting Shao Tingda's hand pushing around him. Chen Mu opened his mouth and was covered with his mouth just as he was about to speak. Shao Tingda whispered: "Brother Mu, there are people in the forest, don't make a sound!"
A sentence suddenly woke Chen Mu's dizzy mind and his whole body suddenly tensed. Then he saw Shao Tingda lowering his body and catching the knife in his hand. His face was not as stupid as usual, but was full of fierceness. His eyes were dangerously looking towards the dense forest. Following Shao Tingda's gaze, Chen Mu lay down and saw three bonfires arranged by Bai Yuanjie on the edge of the camp before going to bed. The bonfire in the middle had been extinguished because no one had added firewood, and the bonfires on both sides were also lit and dim, reflecting the dense forest. However, Chen Mu did not see any movement in his eyes.
Although he was puzzled, seeing that Shao Tingda's appearance was not like a fake, Chen Mu carefully placed the musket beside him, and then covered Wei Balang's mouth with one hand and whispered to wake him up. Then he turned his head to look in the direction of Bai Yuanjie, and found that Bai Yuanjie was lying on the side and woke up. Seeing him looking over, he nodded cautiously, clenched his fists and then made fourteen gestures, which made Chen Mu very shocked.
What does fourteen mean? Bai Yuanjie discovered that there were fourteen bandits?
Wei Balang woke up and widened his eyes when he heard Chen Mu's words. However, this half-baby knew nothing. In his eyes, Chen Mu could only see the horror that day, like when he was executed on the old lame man, with uncontrollable excitement, as if he had passed away today, as if he was a real man.
"Don't move around later. Hire behind me and put medicine in my bird gun. Do you hear that?"
Otherwise, the dead child was stupid, and he kept nodding as if Chen Mu said that he was not a bird gun but a sugar bean. This kid didn't know what fear was. I have to say that although Chen Mu always thought Xiaobalang was stupid, Weibalang's performance was indeed much better than Chen Mu.
Bai Yuanjie woke up earlier than Chen Mu. His training in martial arts and family traditions since childhood made him sleep lighter than others. Moreover, sleeping in the wild made him rest with vigilance. Although he was still lying there and he had sent a Bai soldier to awaken the musketeers under Zhang Yongshou with the cover of the carriage, in order to pull out the second line of defense later.
Bai Yuanjie's arrangement can be seen from the direction they sleep when they rested. Chen Mu Xiaoqi and seven people were on the outermost side, with Bai Yuanjie and four personal soldiers in the middle, and Zhang Yongshou Xiaoqi and eleven people in the innermost side. Between them and Bai Yuanjie, there were carriages and horses tied on both sides.
Use Mr. Chen as a shield!
Chen Mu didn't see any movement here. Shao Tingda quietly woke Shi Qi beside him. Chen Mu stared at the dense forest and finally found that the bushes were moving. There were indeed figures behind him that sometimes appeared and saw the bird guns. As soon as he picked up the bird gun, he heard a shout behind him.
"Thief? Where are the thiefs?"
A scream was the shout of the gauntarius under Zhang Yongshou's banner when he woke up. Then arrows shot from the forest, and several ragged figures jumped out of bushes and shouted, rushing out with swords. Suddenly, there was a scattered scramble in front of him and behind him, with gunshots and screams coming from behind!
"Bang!"
"ah!"
In an instant, the carriage was in chaos. A fireman was frightened by an arrow nailed to the carriage and pulled the trigger in panic. Then the musket hit the comrades beside him, causing even greater chaos.
Chen Mu didn't care about the chaos behind him. Bai Yuanjie's personal soldiers were already leading the bow beside the carriage and shooting the bandits rushing over. Shao Tingda carried a skinned wooden shield and a rusty goose-ling knife to protect Chen Mu's muscles. Wei Balang jumped from the felt and quickly ignited the scythe behind him. He held the fuse with excitement on his face. Chen Guan, who was already in chaos on both sides, had no courage. He threw down his spear and hugged his head and ran towards the place where the horse was tied. Shiqi held the wooden spear and came to Chen Mu. Old Man Zheng, who had not had time to wake up, suddenly became shocked and closed his eyes and waved his spear behind him. Chen Mu walked around the fuse several times but could not get into the fuse head of the bird gun!
A group of mobs.
With a silence in front of him, Chen Mu seemed to be back to the state when the old lame man was executed. His mind was empty and his ears were broken. He shouted everywhere but could not hear any sound. The fuse inserted into the dragon head, and the thief who was rushing to the near was just knocked out by Shao Tingda, and his figure danced and rushed towards him in a blink of an eye.
Raising a gun and firing a gun, like a standard movement that has been honed by Qingyuanwei hundreds of times has now become an instinctive reaction in muscle desperation.
The thick smoke of black gunpowder burning came out of the muzzle, and the howling came to an abrupt end.
