Chapter 905: Fan Family Convoy

Officers and soldiers who were moving the grain cart noticed "Zizi! Immediately stopped the movements in his hand and searched left and right. But there were people on the left and right, and they didn't notice the source of the sound at all.

"What are you kid doing? Everyone is working, are you lazy? A small flag officer quickly saw the soldiers looking around.

The soldier hurriedly denied: "No! I hear movement! ”

"Why did you kid hear the movement? Are you kid itching your flesh? ......" The little flag officer had not finished reprimanding, and several explosions sounded on the official road one after another.

This time everyone heard it, and they hurriedly lay on the ground and looked left and right in panic.

The sound of the explosion was not small, directly killing two officers and soldiers, and injuring more than a dozen officers and soldiers. The damage from several explosions was about the same, but the explosions sent the quicklime buried in the ground flying.

Five or six explosion points almost surrounded the officers and troops, and the official road was immediately white. The officers and soldiers lying on the ground were choked and coughed, and their eyes were even more fascinated by lime, and they couldn't see clearly.

In Wang Hu's astonishment, hundreds of ragged homeless people were killed from the left and right sides of the official road, and they rushed into the ranks of the official army with all kinds of weapons in their hands.

All of them covered their mouths and noses with sackcloth and covered their eyes with muslin. Although their vision will not be good this way, it is much better than letting the quicklime dazzle blind.

They rushed into the ranks of the officers and soldiers in an almost one-sided slaughter, where were the opponents of the officers and soldiers who could not see, and the officers and soldiers suffered heavy casualties in just one collision.

Wang Hu, who was riding on a horse, was also taken aback by this scene, and he reined in the war horse that stood up and rushed out of the official road shrouded in quicklime.

"Dark Horse Club! There is a kind of fight with Lao Tzu who comes out with a knife and a gun, what kind of hero is he who engages in this indiscriminate move! Wang Hu was surprisingly angry, the people who rushed out of the Black Horse Club were no less than his officers and soldiers, and if he continued like this, his people would be driven out and killed.

A black horse galloped on the official road in the distance, and the knight on the horse rushed towards Wang Hu wearing heavy armor. The voice came from afar: "Take me without killing with an arrow and then talk about whether you are a hero or not!" ”

As soon as the words fell, a sharp arrow shot out of this person's hand and went straight to Wang Hu, and Wang Hu, who was surprised, was shot in the throat by an arrow without making any extra movements.

Wang Hu, the guard of the Ming Dynasty, was killed by an arrow just after seeing the person coming. The rest of the officers and soldiers knew that there was no hope of escaping, and they knelt down and asked to surrender, and the Dark Horse Society took these officers and soldiers without paying much casualties.

The Dark Horse Society, which had obtained a large number of weapons, grew again, and after absorbing the surrounding displaced people, the number reached more than 2,000. And all the way to the north went straight to the official wall, frightening the surrounding counties to close the city gates.

Bu He and the others moved quickly, all the way north without stopping. There was no time for the officers and troops to march quickly in the encirclement, and only when the officers and troops did not complete the encirclement could they escape from the official wall at the junction of Xuanfu and Datong in order to escape a glimmer of life.

In the early years, there was a fierce fight with the Mongols, and in recent times the Mongols have been beaten by the Jurchens, and there is no time to go south to the Ming Dynasty to rob.

The most important thing is that the border army there has been dispatched a lot to exterminate various refugee organizations in Shanxi, and the outcasts like the Black Horse Society, who are bent on getting out of the customs are completely unexpected by the officials and soldiers.

As long as you attack one place by surprise, the dark horse will still have a chance to break out of the pass. Whether it can survive outside the gate depends on the will of God, and there is only so much that Buhe can do.

Jiajiaya Fort is an important passage out of the customs, and every year there are merchants who venture into the grassland from here and bring back grassland livestock such as cattle, sheep, war horses, etc.

And every strong team that goes out of the customs must be carefully inspected after passing through the pass, and as long as the weapons and iron tools embargoed by the imperial court are discovered, they will be punished as the crime of collaborating with the enemy.

But this is only an overt rule, and the officers and soldiers here have long been bought by the merchants. Those big merchants who had dealings with the grasslands, which one did not carry salt and iron, and even more blatantly carried armor and weapons out of the customs.

It depends on the strength of the caravan, as long as there is enough silver, even if it is smashed, these officers and soldiers can be stunted.

The official road here is not as easy to walk as in the Ming Dynasty, and the road is a little rugged, and there will be dirt slopes from time to time. Such an official road greatly slowed down the caravan movement, but this is the official road that fed merchants large and small.

They were unified into the Jin merchants, and since the Ming Dynasty began to implement the Kaizhong Law, the merchants transported grain to the border pass, and then took the salt from the border pass to the salt field to buy salt.

The merchants who operated in this way made huge profits, forming a group of Jin merchants that was enough to confront the merchants of Jiangnan. In recent years, Jin merchants began to move to the north, and Zhangjiakou became a gathering place for Jin merchants. Many people made a fortune there and became wealthy businessmen who became rich overnight.

But the road on this side has never been cut off, and a large number of caravans still go out of the customs every year to advise.

A large caravan was slowly moving along the rugged official road, with hundreds of vehicles in the caravan. The caravan alone consisted of three or four hundred guards, and these men walked on the perimeter of the caravan on the lookout for possible sneak attacks.

A small triangular flag was attached to each cart pulled by livestock, and the small flag fluttered in the wind, and from a long distance you could see a model character on it.

The Fan family's team has risen very fast, and has surpassed many old Jin merchants to become leaders. Their caravans carried a large amount of goods with them every time they left the customs, and they were most popular with the Mongols in the steppe.

Although the Mongols often raided the Ming Dynasty, they came to a consensus that they rarely raided caravans entering Mongolia.

They were also afraid that the caravan of the Han Chinese would be killed, and no one would come to Mongolia to do business again. In that way, no one will send any more goods that the Mongols urgently need, and the Mongols will not have a good time without iron, salt, tea, and other goods.

In this way, the caravan of the Han Chinese not only did not have much danger when it arrived in Mongolia, but was also welcomed by the Mongols.

But there are no absolutes, if the goods in the caravan are enough to tempt the Mongols, and the Mongols do not have enough things to exchange, then they will choose to kill everyone in the caravan.

As long as the news is not leaked, basically nothing will happen, and there are not a few Han caravans missing in Mongolia, and they earn high-risk silver.

The high risk also brought high rewards to the merchants, who still went to the grasslands to do business, although many people died on the grasslands every year.

When the Fan family's caravan walked to a dirt slope, a procession of hundreds of people suddenly appeared at the top of the dirt slope. The caravan guards immediately formed a formation of all the vehicles to guard against a possible sneak attack.

The convoy had not yet formed a car formation, and nearly a thousand more people appeared in the rear of the team. At this moment, the guards of the convoy were in a hurry, and they had no chance of escaping when they were blocked in place.

"Listen, the people in the convoy! We dark horses only want money, and you can leave the vehicle behind. If not, today will be your day of worship next year! ”
