Chapter 38: Soldiers and Horses Enter the City
A moment later, a total of eighteen people lined up in two teams in front of Wu Song, all of them were standard straddles, and there was also a rudimentary tactical vest on their bodies. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
Wu Song circled around the horizontal team, and saw that there was nothing wrong, so he beckoned to the outside of the courtyard, and asked the two miscellaneous victims to bring a large wooden box.
Seeing this scene, the team suddenly became agitated, and everyone's eyes widened in anticipation, staring at the wooden box.
Wu Song didn't mean to play dumb riddles, and directly picked open the box with his toes, revealing the detonators inside.
There was a sudden sound of inhalation in the horizontal team.
Although they had guessed that they might be in contact with this magical 'magic weapon' as early as when they were training in grenashing, they still felt a little unbelievable when it came to this day.
Even Cao Yang and Song Xiong, who were the most lazy on weekdays, couldn't hide the excitement in their hearts - after all, this was the 'magic weapon' that Wu Kai relied on to become famous, and even the officers and soldiers of Fucheng were frightened by it and fled!
"I'm sure you've all guessed it!"
Wu Song stepped on the box with one foot and said loudly: "That's right, today we are going to use this detonator to practice with live ammunition!" β
After the monks and soldiers cheered, his face suddenly sank, and he sneered: "However, whether you are qualified to use this detonator depends on how well you practice on weekdays - you have heard it clearly, and when the grenade drill is held later, if one person is not qualified, today's live-fire drill will be canceled!" β
As soon as these words came out, Cao Yang and Song Xiong were targeted by more than a dozen pairs of vicious eyes at the same time - because they were the two who were the most lagging behind on weekdays.
And the two of them were no longer as fierce as they were when they fought with Lin Dengwan just now, and their nervous breathing began to become short.
"Alright, let's start practicing nowβHuineng, get out of the ranks!"
Standing in the middle of the line, Huineng immediately stepped out, then stood on the horizontal line dedicated to grenadier training, and carefully checked the vest on his body and the fire rope on his waist.
"Ready-to-shoot!"
With Wu Song's order, Huineng quickly pulled out a piece of fire rope, took off the fire hat and hung it on his waist, and pulled out a hardwood stick from the ammunition pouch of the tactical vest, bit off the wooden shell on the fuse, ignited it with the fire rope, and then waved his arm and threw it to the center of the zigzag target.
Then the second, and then the third, until the six training sticks stuck in his chest, all lying in the predetermined target area, stopped and covered the rope with a fire cap again.
"Not bad."
Wu Kai nodded with satisfaction, motioned for Huineng to stand aside, and was about to call the next person to come out to practice, when he suddenly heard someone outside the door shouting: "Second Master~ Second Master!" Oh no, something is wrong! β
Wu Song frowned and looked over, but saw that the person who came was not Fahai, who else could it be?
It seems that what my brother said is right, this guy is really a crow's mouth that reports worries and does not report good news!
"What's the matter?!"
was interrupted by him, and Wu Song was a little dissatisfied: "Didn't you go to Liu Yuanwai's house in Dongcheng for a banquet?" β
Since Wu Kai gave the 'forceps' to Fahai, this fat monk has been entertained every day - a large family with pregnant women in the city, just in case, they all want to register with him in advance.
Today is no exception, just after breakfast, Liu Yuanwai, who lives near the city gate, has someone carry him back in a sedan chair, and it stands to reason that he will not come back until noon.
"It was because I went to Liu Yuanwai's house that I ran into it!" Fahai ran closer, his face full of fat was twitching, only to hear him tremble and say: "There are hundreds of soldiers and horses, and they are coming into the city!" β
"What?!"
Wu Song was taken aback, reached out and grabbed his arm, and asked, "Can you see clearly?!" β
"Of course!"
Fahai nodded vigorously, and swore an oath: "I just saw it with my own eyes, and they all went to the county government with knives in their hands." β
Wu Song saw what he said, knowing that there would be no fake, he was busy pulling and was about to go to the backyard to find Wu Kai, rushed out a few steps, and suddenly remembered the box of detonators, hurriedly stepped forward to buckle the box, clamped the cat's waist under his armpit, and ordered casually: "You guys wait here, I'll go back when I go!" β
As he spoke, the person had already rushed out of the courtyard gate.
When Erlang rushed into the west wing with a box of detonators, Wu Kai was still fiddling with the bamboo tubes, and as soon as he lit the fire, he saw a box of detonators smashed on the table, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly put the fire out, and said angrily: "Erlang, what the hell are you doing?" Didn't I say that firearms can't be brought to the West Wing?! β
"Brother!" Wu Song said in a deep voice: "Woe to you, hundreds of officers and soldiers have just rushed into the city!" β
"What?!"
Wu Kai stood up suddenly, but immediately frowned again: "How is this possible?" Now the soldiers and horses of Dongping Mansion are all facing off against Liangshan at the border, where did these hundreds of officers and soldiers come from? β
"This ......"
Wu Song was speechless for a while, and was about to turn around to ask Fahai, but found that he was far behind by himself, so he hurriedly rushed to the door, and shouted out: "Fahai, come and tell my brother, what have you seen!" β
Fahai walked in panting, only feeling that these two legs were not his own, and he didn't care about any dignity and humility, sitting on the corner of the table, snorting and panting.
Seeing this, Wu Kai hurriedly poured a cup of tea for him.
Fahai took it and drank it down, gasped a few more times, and then under Wu Song's murderous gaze, he spoke: "No...... It's not like an official army, I think they all have swords, but they don't wear official clothes, but they look more like a group of bandits who rob homes and houses! β
Brigand?
Except for the Liangshan thieves, isn't there no bandits in this Dongping Mansion?
Moreover, if they are really bandits, their target will probably not be themselves......
No matter what, let's be prepared first!
"Erlang, aren't you about to conduct a live-fire drill? Go, send all this box of detonators, and lead people to guard the gate first! I took those big lifts ...... 'Megatron', and here we were! β
Erlang was shocked when he heard this, he originally heard that hundreds of people had entered the city, and he was a little confused for a while, but at this time, seeing Wu Kai commanding Ruoding, he remembered those few powerful muskets, and his heart suddenly had confidence, so he patted his chest and said: "Brother, don't worry!" With me and the monk army here, no amount of officers and soldiers can get in! β
Erlang took the order, Wu Kai immediately went to the hall, called Pang Chunmei and Wu Yueniang, and then called a few victims nearby, and moved a total of six muskets out of the cellar - in addition to the first three, Wu Kai made three more two-meter-five ones, which are considered standard types.
Maybe it's a lot of experience, and the two women are quite calm, but for some reason, Wu Yueniang always secretly looked at Wu Kai along the way, and her expression was even more indescribably tangled.
Although Wu Kai wondered in his heart, he also knew that now was not the time to study this in detail, so he had to suppress this doubt in his heart first.
When the group arrived in the front yard, Wu Song had already arranged the monk team, and set up a few pieces of horizontal wood behind the courtyard wall to spy on the outside situation at any time.
"Erlang, come, help me set up these guns."
The two brothers worked together, lined up a total of six 'Megatrons', placed them in front of the gate, installed the jujube core nails one by one, and singled out Cao Yang and Song Xiong to temporarily become musketeers - after all, except for the Wu brothers, only the two of them had used this thing.
Cao Yang and Song Xiong each set up a musket [a bracket has been installed], that is really looking forward to Zixiong, I feel that I have never been so proud in my life, and I can't wait for a few thieves to break in immediately, so that those mud-legged people can open their eyes.
At this time, Fahai had already gathered the victims, and they were all a little frightened when they saw this murderous scene.
"Everyone!"
Wu Kai walked to the top of the steps, turned to the group of victims and said, "Now there is a group of thieves who have broken into the city, but you don't have to worry, with me and Erlang here, we will be able to keep you safe!" β
"Living Buddha Compassion!"
"With the protection of the Living Buddha, we can rest assured!"
"A mere thief, how can he be the opponent of the Living Buddha!"
"Yes, do they still have officers and soldiers and tigers to be terrible?"
Seeing the sound of singing praises of virtue in the audience, Wu Kai hit the railway while it was hot: "But we have limited manpower now, and we need to find a few people to fight, so let's do it - Lin Dengwan!" You choose some strong ones, find Erlang and get the blade, and temporarily serve as a reserve. β
Lin Dengwan didn't expect that he would suddenly become the 'leader', and he was on the spot for a while, but Huineng next to him pushed him, and then he reacted, and hurriedly knelt down on one knee and said: "The villain obeys!" β
It stands to reason that after Wu Kai implemented the modern military training system in the monk corps, he should have changed even the military salute, but ...... Let these tall guys salute themselves, how can they kneel on the ground and look pleasing to the eye?
"Living Buddha! All heads! β
At this time, a monk soldier who was looking out from the horizontal log suddenly shouted: "There seems to be a fire on the county office!" β
Is the county government on fire?
It doesn't seem to be coming for me.
This made Wu Kai feel a little more at ease, since this is the case, he just needs to hold here and wait for those thieves to retreat.
However, he seemed to be happy too early, and it didn't take long for the monks and soldiers standing guard to shout again: "Living Buddha, there is a group of men and horses coming this way, about a hundred people!" β
