open sea

Chapter 118 Sprinkling Silver
Perhaps something has changed, the number of local thieves is slightly more than Li Dan estimated, but it is only 30 to [-] more.

Xu Laoyao's subordinates are old thieves who have been in battle for a long time. They are much stronger than the banner army, and most of them are protected by leather armor.

If it was an ordinary battle of a hundred households, the battle would have been lost; if it was a battle of thousands of households in the past, it would not be able to stop such an enemy.

But his opponent is Chen Mu, who is already familiar with ancient warfare.

Fu Yuan's headquarters carried down the mountain with seven minor and serious injuries and 22 corpses. There were only [-] corpses belonging to local bandits on the ground.

But so what?
The bird guns were fired for three rounds, and two small flag arrows exploded in the forest, killing 24 ambushes with bows and crossbows hiding in the forest.

Not to mention that there are [-] troops led by Deng Zilong and Sun Ao in the other two mountain roads, even if it is just the soldiers from three hundred households like Chen Mu, what can the youngest Xu stand against?

Even the new recruits who have only been trained for three months are much better than the slack and withered veterans of the Qianhu Institute!
When Chen Mu led his troops to attack the top of the hill, the cottage belonging to Xu Laoyao was already on fire, and Fu Yuan stationed around the perimeter, scratching his head.

"Qianhu, there are 34 native thieves left, they burned the village and hid inside." Fu Yuan was helpless, the casualties of his subordinates made him furious, "I can't get in!"

Chen Mu didn't say a word, just waited and watched to figure out the situation.

The cottage is not big, with more than 30 houses, including thatched huts and wooden houses, as well as stone houses, especially the big stone house in the middle, which should be the hiding place for the thieves that Fu Yuan said.The stone courtyard is not afraid of fire, so they burned down the huts and wooden houses outside to delay the time for the army to invade.

There is only one entrance to the stone courtyard, which can be locked with two knives, and a strong attack may cause heavy casualties.

"Xiaoqijian, blow him up."

Chen Mu felt that they needed a grenade and needed to go back and discuss it with Guan Yuangu.

This time he didn't ask Wei Balang to write it down, so he simply tore off a piece of cloth, wrote down the military doctor and the grenade with a clod of soil, put it in his pocket, and asked Fu Yuan to take five small flag arrows, "Get ready to charge the door!"

The Guan Gun team squatted in the front row and stood in the back row, raising their guns towards the door. In front of them was a small flag holding five small flag arrows and torches aimed at the door. On the left and right, another small flag slammed into the thick wooden door with the pillar still burning in front.

Bang!
"Gunners and spearmen, surround yourself, and anyone who escapes will be executed on the spot!"

After Chen Mu arranged all this, he lifted the short gun and shouted to the door: "Mrs. Xu! Come out and surrender now, go to the government and wait for punishment. Chen will not kill you!"

"Come on, you idiot of the fucking guard, I'm not afraid of you!"

As soon as he yelled, there was a response from the door. It was the same as the owner of the voice at the corner of the mountain road. Obviously, the person who led the thieves to rush down the mountain was the leader of the thieves. If you don't want to live, hit it!"

Have a cannon?

"Don't hit it!"

Chen Mu didn't know if there was really a cannon inside, but he didn't want to try it. He waved his hand and called a few flag soldiers holding small flags and arrows to come over, and whispered to them: "Put the small flags and arrows on the wall and put them down."

"Come down when you're done, don't show your head, they might have guns."

The courtyard wall of Shizhai is not low, and the area is not small, but it is definitely not enough for the small flag and arrows to fly all over the place. No one can tell where it will explode if it is put in, or it will come out.

"Don't think it's great to have a few hundred banner troops. If I'm at sea, I'll kill you bastards!" Xu Laoyao kept shouting, which was mixed with his orders to his subordinates, "Throw it out, throw it out, throw it all!"

Hearing this sound, Chen Mu immediately opened his hands to let the banner army disperse. What else could they do at this time except throwing weapons, but before the banner army dispersed, dozens of stones were thrown out.

Chen Mu took a closer look at where the stones were thrown in the stone yard. It was clearly an ingot of silver and pieces of copper coins spilled out!

"Don't pick it up!"

At the same time, accompanied by the screeching sound of burning wires, five small flag arrows were ignited from the courtyard wall, and several flag soldiers threw them all into the courtyard. Shouting in dismay.

Where did the Banner Army see silver ingots? No matter how much Chen Mu yelled not to pick it up, he couldn’t control the thoughts of all the Banner Army soldiers under him. There were Banner Army soldiers chaotically picking up money and silver, and Chen Mu was not allowed to go to the courtyard gate. Hit it, and it opened by itself.

A group of local thieves roared out from the door with swords and spears.

What greeted them was the Banner Army of Thousands of Households in Xiangshan, who were in confusion because of the silver and Tongbao scattered all over the ground.

It's like a tiger going out of the gate and a dragon going out to sea.

These are the most elite bandits, some wearing leather armor, some wearing iron plate armor, and everyone wearing an iron helmet.

And the chaotic guard army in front of them was so vulnerable, the mere temptation of money made them lose their positions, which further fueled the arrogance of the local bandits.

This momentum lasted for about two seconds.

Bang, bang, bang!
Small flag arrows exploded indiscriminately in the courtyard, and hundreds of small lead pellets shot and splashed in the courtyard. This kind of small thing is not very lethal. If it exceeds five steps, it will lose the ability to penetrate the armor plate. If it is more than ten steps away It may not even be possible to penetrate leather armor.

But they are too dense.

As long as the place being hit is not protected by armor, the summer thin shirt is not enough protection, let alone the most vulnerable face exposed outside.

Only two or three lead pellets the size of the cap of the little finger are enough to make a strong and fierce man lose his combat power.

A rocket exploded just behind the bandit.

Blood and lead shot splashed together.

The sound of dense lead pellets hitting the armor was extremely pleasant, and Chen Mu heard Fu Yuan shout: "Raise the spear, stab!"

A small flag guarding the door was not messed up, they were too far away from the money thrown out, at this time the local thieves came out from behind the door, it was the time when the six gods had no master, when they heard Fu Baihu's cry, several spears were riveted enough Stab out with strength.

One stab and one accurate.

"Fire the gun!"

Chen Mu stood behind the family soldiers, some distance away from the gate, and other flag troops could be chaotic, but his family soldiers were all veterans who had experienced battles, so they would not be fooled by this little trick. Follow the order to release the local thieves at the door.

Bang bang, bang bang!

The menacing local thief was blinded by the sound of arrows and guns behind him, not to mention that the swords and spears rushed out from his side. Before rushing out two steps, the one behind was injured and the one in front was killed. They were almost lying down, and the few remaining thieves stood up and resisted stubbornly.

"What are you still doing, rushing in and killing people!"

With Chen Mu's order, the banner troops around woke up like a dream, behind him Qi Zhengyan Long Junxiong had drawn his sword and jumped out to fight, and then many banner troops rushed into the door, the fighting sound was only for a moment, and Fu Yuan shouted: "Young lady Xu! where!"

Hearing this, Chen Mu knew that they had won.

Not long after, Fu Yuan pulled out the man whose armor was stained with blood and collapsed on the ground like a dead dog, raised a knife across his neck and grinned at Chen Mu: "Qianhu, catch it, Mr. Xu! "

Youngest Xu didn't live long, the back of his neck was blurred by the lead pellets, he couldn't control his hands and feet, he could only roll his eyes and move his mouth while talking, but he couldn't hear clearly.

Chen Mu felt sorry for him, and leaned over to listen to what he had to say with his pistol in hand. Seeing that the youngest Xu said something with an extremely angry expression, Chen Mu was unmoved, raised his pistol and approached.

"understood."

boom!
