Chapter 456: Investigation of the Gold Mine
"You use tricks to provoke us out of the mine, even if you kill us all, what kind of hero is that!"
The mountain people in the back didn't know what was happening in front of them, and they were still drilling out in a steady stream, and the matter had come to this point, Wu You could only hope that these bandits still had some conscience.
But things often went in the direction he didn't want the most, and when he heard this, the bandit leader on the hillside sneered, and said mockingly:
"Wu You! Don't deceive yourself here, you and I both know in our hearts, this time, you are winged and it is difficult to fly, those mothers-in-law in the cave, Lao Tzu will help you take care of it, hahaha! ”
Wu You tightly held the waist-breaking knife in his hand and shouted angrily:
"You rush to me, don't touch the emerald flowers!"
The bandits seemed to have lost their patience, and instead of replying, the leader waved his hand for the archers to release their arrows.
There are only a dozen archers on the hillside, and the ones they hold are not powerful bows, but they are single bows made by the folk method, and their damage and range are very limited.
This simplest single bow is also the most popular among the people, because it is too simple to make, but the disadvantages are also obvious, basically as long as you wear a simple armor, you can easily defend.
Therefore, in history, although all kinds of single bows were very common among the people, when the Qing army went south, the main force of the long range was still a variety of firearms.
For those Eight Banner archers who are good at salvo shooting and can wear heavy armor with a power bow, this single bow is like the difference between a child and an adult, even if someone stands there and lets you shoot, you can't kill one in half a day.
The mountain people are not Qing soldiers, they are all in rags, and they don't even have a weapon in their hands, and in their eyes, this single bow made by the local method can be regarded as a rather deterrent weapon of great destruction, and it can take people's lives from afar, which is simply too terrifying.
The bandit archers on the hillside barely pulled their bows, picked up the clusters of wooden arrows scattered on the ground, and were about to shoot them out in a chaotic manner.
The bandit leader stood on the hillside with a confident face, waiting left and right, but he didn't hear any sound of arrows, and he turned back with anger on his face.
"Dog, if you don't release the arrows, will you wait for them to drill back?"
Just after saying this, the eyes of the bandit leader instantly became the boss, and then he planted himself directly from the dirt slope, pointing at the back and that, speechless.
Similar to the leader of the bandits, the rest of the bandits also threw down their knives and guns, and desperately fled from this place.
Wu You had already closed his eyes and was waiting for death, the other party had bows and arrows, and the number of people was several times that of his own, so it was impossible to win.
He shouted in a frenzy:
"Folks, I'm ashamed of my trust in everyone... Cuihua, I, I can't be a general, I'm going to marry you-"
After waiting for a long time with his eyes closed, Wu You suddenly found that it was dark in front of him, and subconsciously opened his eyes, only to see a tall black shadow standing in front of him.
"Strange, why don't I feel pain?"
"Nonsense, you're not dead."
Hearing these angry words, Wu You smiled self-deprecatingly, he didn't die, how could he not die, but the next moment, his eyes widened fiercely.
"I, I'm not dead!?"
At this time, Wu You saw everything that was happening in front of him.
At some point, all the bandits standing on the hillside had fallen to the ground, replaced by some soldiers with serious faces and crimson armor.
There were not many of them, only about two dozen of them, but they were really well equipped, and they were all armed to the teeth, even with red gloves on their hands and shiny tiger guns, which made people envious.
"Who are you?"
Hearing this, the person standing in front of Wu You did not speak, but turned around and performed a courtesy that he couldn't understand, and stood respectfully to the side.
Wang Zheng wiped the blood on the knife, glanced at Wu You, and asked lightly:
"This is the gold mine set up by the imperial court in Wanli years?"
Looking at the gorgeous and majestic armor on the person in front of him, Wu You was stunned for a while, but he didn't speak, and when the personal soldier saw this, he immediately stepped forward and wanted to force him to the ground, and said:
"I don't salute when I see Hou Ye!"
It's okay if you don't press it, this action makes Wu You even more rebellious, and he stood there with a hard breath, no matter how hard this pro-soldier tried, he didn't move a single step.
Even a mountain man couldn't subdue him, and the pro-soldier of the Shandong Army suddenly felt that his face was gloomy, and in a hurry, he smashed a fist between Wu You's knees.
"It's not expensive to see if you're still kneeling."
Wu You turned around and glared at him, and when he saw that the other party was swinging his fist again, he quickly turned his head to dodge the next punch, took out the steel knife on the waist of this personal soldier, and stabbed at Wang Zheng with the momentum of thunder.
"Whoever it is, don't even think about going in!"
At this moment, not only did the pro-soldier look shocked, but while some of the surrounding Shandong army soldiers stepped forward to escort them, someone even aimed their spears at the necks of the rest of the mountain people to threaten Wu You.
But Wu You's momentum has not diminished, and he seems to be determined to fight with Wang Zheng.
The movement of the mountain people in front of him was so fast that he couldn't even subdue the carefully selected personal soldiers, although Wang Zheng was surprised in his heart, his body didn't move, and his face was as usual.
"Master Hou!"
"Protect Master Hou!"
Wu You's knife was about to be stabbed on Wang Zheng's body, and everyone gasped, but it was too late to step forward to protect him.
At the last moment, Wang Zheng pulled out the steel knife and confronted Wu You with a bang, and a spark suddenly appeared in the air.
Feeling the strength of the other party's hand, Wu You was shocked, but he didn't want to give up, so he flew up and kicked over.
However, this kick was also easily dodged by Wang Zheng, and he used his own way to govern others, and Wang Zheng followed with a short but powerful kick.
The speed of this kick was extremely fast, although Wu You had seen it, but he couldn't dodge it at all, he was kicked squarely, and at the moment he squirted a mouthful of blood, flew upside down a few steps away, tossed a few times, but it was difficult to get up.
At this time, the surrounding Shandong army soldiers hurriedly stepped forward to subdue Wu You, and the pro-soldier squatted on the ground with his fists clenched in panic.
"Lord Hou atons for his sins, the villain is derelict in his duties!"
Wang Zheng waved his hand to signal that everything was fine, walked past his own soldiers to Wu You, glanced at him, and said quietly:
"Call the military medic, be sure to heal."
The combat effectiveness of this mountain people was unexpected by Wang Zheng, and when he was fighting, he actually had an indomitable momentum, how could this kind of talent stay in the deep mountains and fight with the thieves?
"You, who the hell are you?"
Wu You did not cooperate with the doctor's treatment, and asked weakly, as if he was deliberately protecting someone or something in the cave.
Hearing this, the soldier from before whispered to him:
"This is Anton Hou of our Shandong Army, your kid can fight with Hou Ye, it is really a blessing for three lives!"
Speaking of this, the soldier looked at Wu You with a little admiration in his eyes, looked him up and down, and continued:
"Your kid is good, heal his injuries another day, let's have a good comparison!"
Hearing the words Shandong Jun and Anton Hou, Wu You's face was even more shocked, and he struggled to get up and bow down.
Seeing his appearance, Wang Zheng waved his hand without looking back, and said:
"Don't you want to be a general, okay, I'm going to give you this opportunity, heal your injuries first, and have a chance for you to show your skills in the outer department of my Shandong Army in Xuzhou City."
"Thank you, Master Hou!"
Hearing this, not only Wu You's face was happy, but even the personal soldier who had just fought was happy for him, and said:
"You kid can be regarded as picking up a life, but Master Hou can't even get close to the white-armored tartar, if you use all your strength, you won't be able to last a few moments."
Hearing this, Wu You was even more incredulous, and he actually fought back with the world-famous King Anton.
Although he was seriously injured, for some reason, Wu You had a feeling of bitterness, and his body was indescribably comfortable.
