Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Musket Shows Its Might
CHAPTER XXIX
After listening to Chen Yufeng's words, everyone really raised their spirits and moved forward all the way, not daring to slack off. It was almost noon when the car came to a mountain pass. Chen Yufeng stopped the car, looked at the mountain pass, and sniffed again. smiled and said to Zhang Zhimu: "Here, let's get all the muskets ready." ”
Yan Boju also smiled and said, "The old thing's nose is still very smart!" ”
It turned out that everyone's guns and ** were all placed in the car, and it was too tiring to carry them on their backs for a long distance. After listening to Chen Yufeng's words, he hung the ** and bullet belt on his body, took the gun out of the gun bag, and held it in his hand.
Chen Yufeng ordered again to load all the bullets and load them with solid bullets. Light the fire rope as well.
Although Zhang Zhimu didn't see anyone in front of him, he believed in Chen Yufeng's judgment, Chen Yufeng could let everyone light the fire rope, then he must really see the problem. I saw that the mountain pass in front of me is two mountains and a valley, the stone walls on both sides are steep, there are more than ten zhang high, and only two big cars can walk in the middle.
Seeing that everyone was ready, Chen Yufeng waved his hand, Liu Yun moved forward alone, and the others got out of the car and led the horses to follow. As soon as he turned a corner, a large tree across the road ten zhang away in front of him blocked the way. Suddenly, with a squeak, an arrow shot into the sky, first more than 20 people with swords flashed from behind, blocking the back road, and then there was a burst of smoke and dust in front of the horses' hooves, and a large group of people blocked the way behind the big trees, and the dense crowd almost filled the canyon. Chen Yufeng asked everyone to put the two carriages side by side, and the horses were facing each other to seal the roads at both ends, and let Li Wei lead the four people, looking at the back, and the others facing the front. Liu Yun unloaded all his blades, held the dart flag, and stepped forward to cross the road.
I saw three people in front of me riding horses standing side by side, one on the left with his right eye wrapped in cloth, these three people are the three masters of Wild Boar Ridge, and the middle is Liu Qi, the big boss. Liu Yun ran back after a while and said, "The one in front is from the Wild Boar Ridge, and it doesn't open." ”
It turned out that Liu Yun went to talk to the visitor. People say that who doesn't know on the rivers and lakes that the head of the Huwei Dart Bureau has lost his dart and sank into the river. Liu Yun said that there was still a young master at the helm, and as a result, people laughed. said that the wife and children of the Huwei Dart Bureau Yang had already been killed by the owner. You just stole a few dart flags and came out to make trouble, and the acquaintances left the chariots and horses and the people who hurt people last time. I'm going to let you live today.
After listening, Chen Yufeng didn't speak, in fact, the two sides were ten zhang away, their faces were very clear, and they could probably hear what they said. Chen Yufeng untied a horse, rode forward, and bowed his hand to the big boss in the middle: "The big boss, 'Mountain Harrier' Chen Yufeng, I've seen it." ”
"Yo, 'Mountain Harrier', I'm glad to be there. I said, which way of master, who played our people in Wild Boar Ridge, turned out to be Chen Yingying. Liu Qi said.
"If our mountains don't turn around, can we step on a wider side today?" Chen Yufeng said.
"Supposedly, you should give the face of your 'mountain harrier', but today is a bit big. Originally, I didn't participate in this matter, it was my second brother and third brother. But you have played our wild boar ridge as monkeys again and again, so I have to go down the mountain, and I will meet you, a master. Now all the heroes on the road are watching how our wild boar ridge ends. You say, what should I do? If we go empty this time, we will have to blow out the lamp and pull out the wax and scatter when we go back. "Wild Boar Ridge everyone said.
"Since my 'Mountain Harrier' has a short face, then I have a bronze medal of Niutou Mountain in my hand, can I give some face?" Chen Yufeng said holding the bronze medal.
Liu Qiyi was stunned and said, "Niutoushan has to give face." In this way, for the sake of Niutou Mountain, leave two cars behind, and leave the person who injured my third brother. It's over. ”
Chen Yufeng said: "It's me who hurts people, there is no problem with me leaving this old bone, I have to ask all of us if the goods are left." With that, he turned his horse back.
Actually, Zhang Zhimu probably understood. After Chen Yufeng finished speaking, Zhang Zhimu said: "The first strike is strong, and then the first attack suffers." After a while I fired, everyone trained in alternate rounds of shooting. Li Wei, you have high arms and long arms, throw ** behind them as much as possible. ”
Because Zhang Zhimu saw that the two sides were so close, the musket could just exert firepower. Zhang Zhimu held the gun and aimed at Liu Qi. In fact, Liu Qi on the other side also saw someone aiming at him, but he thought that at most it was a fire gun, which was generally difficult to hit, not to mention that there were many brothers and nuns behind him, and he would not be laughed at if he went to dodge. He hadn't figured out how to deal with it yet, and he didn't have a chance to think about it again.
Zhang Zhimu pulled the trigger and snorted. The bullet hit Liu Qi's head, and the lead bullet lifted off most of Liu Qi's head. The two brothers next to him quit and waved their hands to direct the minions to rush forward. Originally, blocking the road and robbing was not their strong point, in order to stop Zhang Zhimu's convoy, on the road, a big tree was placed horizontally, which rushed forward, and it was necessary to cross the trunk before the horse could speed up. But Zhang Zhimu, it is impossible for them to give them a chance to speed up again.
After Zhang Zhimu's gunshot, the platoon gun also rang out. The gunfire was particularly loud in the valley. After a row of gunshots, seven or eight people fell from the horses. The second boss also fell off the horse with a flick in the chest. The three-eyed master, whose left ear was half blown away by the bullet, went crazy with anger, and desperately commanded the bandits to rush forward. After the second row of gunshots, he also lay down and did not move. At this time, the ** thrown by Li Wei kept exploding in the bandits, and the arms and legs of the bandits were constantly flying. For a while, the bandits in front of them were in chaos, and the horsemen tried to run back, but the bandits who did not ride blocked the road again.
The bandits in the back, seeing that there was a fight in front, also rushed forward with a shout, Li Wei threw a few ** in the back, exploded a few, and commanded four people to shoot down a few, and the rest were lying on the ground and did not dare to move. At this time, "Cybernaut" Yan Boju pulled out a willow leaf knife and led a few people to rush towards several bandits lying on the ground. This "Cybernaut" has brisk legs and feet that don't look like the original little old man at all. To the front, "Cybernaut" said; "My hands and feet are a little sharp, and I cut them all." A few people didn't hesitate, swung their knives and slashed fiercely, without mercy, and when they saw that they were all dead, they hurriedly ran back. It's not that "Cybernaut" is black, because it is now a two-sided battle, and one must be solved as soon as possible, and the experience of the rivers and lakes has made him know that he must cut through the mess quickly. Before "Cybernaut" and Chen Yufeng did not participate in the war, but constantly stroked a few horses' heads, although in the kiln gang has let these horses, have heard the sound of gunfire, after the battle, the fierce gunfire still makes the horse a little nervous, "Cybernaut" and Chen Yufeng know that if the horse is frightened, messed up, it will be very passive, so the two have been calming the horses. Finding that there was a stalemate in the back, "Cybernaut" rushed over and solved the 'worries'.
By the time they returned, the front was already one-sided, and everyone had stopped shooting in turns, but instead fired freely. And they all stand on the carriage and shoot outwards from a high place, just like shooting a target, and the more they hit, the more confident and accurate they are. The bandits found that as long as they were on horseback, they would be knocked down in a moment, and the faster they ran, the first to fall. As a result, everyone who was on the horse jumped off the horse and lay on the ground, not to mention those on the ground.
It looks like it's pretty much there. Zhang Zhimu waved everyone to stop shooting, and shouted to the bandits: "Those who surrender will not die." The crowd shouted, "Surrender and die." The bandits lay on the ground and shouted: "Surrender and surrender." ”
Then, Zhang Zhimu shouted: "Those who surrender, get up with your heads in your hands and kneel on the edge of the cliff over there." The bandits, who were able to move, got up and knelt with their heads in their hands. Let Zhang Zhimu and Yan Boju lead the two of them not to move and look at the car. Then, Chen Yufeng led the people, walked over to see the serious injuries on the ground, and made up for them, so that he would suffer less crimes, and the less serious ones went to the side and knelt.
Put the horses together first, and when you count them, there are about seventy of them. The deaths were all horrific and horrific, there were more than 50 in all, and the 20 who died in the back made a total of more than 70 people. There were more than forty people who surrendered in a squat. There were also six carriages in the back, presumably from the horses that came when they came.
Chen Yufeng came back to tell him about the situation, and Zhang Zhimu asked, how far away is Wild Boar Ridge. Chen Yufeng said: "I asked, it's fifty miles away, not far. Today, almost all the people in Boar Ridge have come out. There is also a housekeeper on the mountain, leading a few people to watch the house. ”
"Let's deal with all the dead first." Zhang Zhimu said. Then he called all the bandits who were not injured, and carried them all to a hillside, and piled a layer of dead tree trunks on the ground, and carried the corpses up again, and then set them on fire, and burned them. Zhang Zhimu wondered if he could burn all their sins.
Zhang Zhimu called Chen Yufeng over and said, "Since you have done it, you will not do it." Let's go take Boar Ridge as well. ”
Chen Yufeng smiled and said, "That's exactly what I mean." This boar ridge is too close to this road, I don't know how many merchants have been damaged, and we have removed this evil. ”
Zhang Zhimu asked everyone to replenish some bullets, **, rest for a while, eat something and drink some water. A battle with more wins and fewer victories has brought out everyone's confidence. I think it's strange, when I practice at home, I feel that this gun is too loud, and every time I shoot, I feel a little nervous. But when the battle started, I felt that the gunfire was not so loud, and when I was in a hurry, I forgot about the gunshot, and I only felt that the enemy fell down as soon as I shook my hand, which was too enjoyable. It is a miracle that a dozen people killed dozens of people without a single casualty.
After resting, they tied the wounded bandits to the cart, and the uninjured rode on horses, and tied their feet to stirrups. Those who could ride horses here also mounted their horses and headed for the Boar Ridge. When it was dark, he arrived at Wild Boar Ridge and asked an obedient bandit named Li San to shout to the gatehouse, saying that the big boss had returned. The bandits on the gatehouse, seeing that the torches below were illuminated brightly, and there were several carriages full of goods, Li Sanyi shouted, so he didn't think much about it and put down the suspension bridge. Chen Yufeng, Li Wei and others passed over, and it was simple. Arrested the housekeeper Li Zhi first. He also locked up men, women, young and old, more than 40 people, and more than 40 people who surrendered, in the Juyi Hall in Wild Boar Ridge. I'm so tired today. Put away the drawbridge, arrange for people to take turns watching the prisoners, and after dinner, they all went to sleep.
The next day. After breakfast, Zhang Zhimu discussed with everyone how to deal with these people on the Wild Boar Ridge. Some people say that if it doesn't work, it will all be destroyed, so as not to cause trouble. Zhang Zhimu said: I have seen that many of the bandits are only seventeen or eighteen years old, and some of them must have been forced to have nothing to eat to become bandits, and some may have been caught as bandits, and I want to treat them differently. If we kill them all, what difference will we have from the bandits? It's better to kill those who have lives, and let go of those who have no lives. Everyone is fine. Zhang Zhimu made a bad move. Tell the bandits that they can expose each other, and those who have meritorious exposure can avoid death. As a result, more than 30 people were found dead. Zhang Zhimu listened to the bandits exposing each other's crimes, and the roots of his teeth ached, and he felt that this trip to Wild Boar Ridge was right. Otherwise, I don't know how many merchants still died at their hands, and how many families were ruined and wives separated because of them. Of the rest, they asked anyone who had abused women, and five more were reported.
