Chapter 305: Let's Go!
Therefore, Lu Chen asked Long Yan to gather several squad leaders of the city guard army here, and after briefly stating the matter to them, he set off on the same day. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info So far, the city guards of the Holy City have expanded to two thousand, and among the two thousand, Lu Chen has only taken 1,500 people, and the rest must stay to defend the city. After all, the Holy City is the foundation of Lu Chen, and even if this war is lost, he can't let the Holy City have the slightest mistake.
After deciding, Lu Chen led the 1,500 people to set off, and this time they were no longer as light as last time. Because they have to walk for more than ten days, besides, this time they don't need to dodge and walk the forest path, they can start from the official road, turn to the water road halfway and follow the Jialing River all the way to the territory of the Jiannan Jiedu envoy.
Therefore, Lu Chen first sent people to Minzhou City to buy a large amount of grain. At the same time, Lu Chen asked people to buy dozens of carriages, and then let these 1,500 people dress up as several caravans that are rushing together, and then set out on the road.
Fifteen hundred people had barely gone far on the road when they saw dozens of big men rushing out of the nearby mountains and forests, these people were bare-chested and breast-bared, holding machetes in their hands. After seeing Lu Chen and so many of them, a big man walking in front looked a little nervous, but even if he was nervous, he still pretended to be calm and shouted, "Where are you coming from the caravan, you must pay the protection fee when you leave here!" ”
Hearing this, Lu Chen, who was walking in the front, said with interest, "This brother, you are not qualified as a mountain bandit, you see how can you have the slightest bit of the fierce aura that a mountain bandit should have now?" And looking at the stiff movements of your body, it is obvious that you are too nervous. As a mountain bandit, you are too unqualified" After speaking, Lu Chen shook his head with a contemptuous look.
Hearing Lu Chen's words, this big man's face immediately turned red. After all, it was the first time he had encountered such a huge caravan, and even if all the people in their cottage combined, it was only more than a hundred. However, if they let each other go like this, I am afraid that their cottage will become a joke, at least, I have never heard of a bandit being afraid of a caravan.
At this time, after hearing Lu Chen's words, he glanced back at his subordinates, but saw that these people were all looking at him a little strangely. Seeing this scene, Dahan immediately shouted angrily, "Don't talk nonsense here, hurry up and pay the toll!" ”
Seeing that the big man was annoyed and angry, Lu Chen shook his head, turned his head and said to the person behind him, "This is your dish, as for how much you can get, it depends on your ability~"
Hearing Lu Chen's words, the soldiers who followed him to rescue the Luo family last time suddenly lit up, and they rushed towards this group of mountain bandits one by one. Only the recruits who had never been out of the Holy City were still standing in place, looking puzzled.
And the seventy or eighty mountain bandits, after seeing the hundreds of people rushing over, were stunned for a moment. Because in the eyes of these people, they saw a familiar gaze, and this gaze was obviously the heat that was revealed after seeing money.
Finally, when these hundreds of people were only a dozen meters away from them, a mountain bandit couldn't hold it anymore, turned around and ran towards the mountains and forests with a strange scream, and with this person at the beginning, the others also ran towards the mountains and forests. Only twenty or thirty people remained, still standing trembling, clutching machetes in both hands.
In the next moment, these hundreds of people rushed up like crazy, and those dozens of people who tried to resist died under the knife without the slightest chance of resistance.
However, the hundreds of city guards did not stop, but pursued the dozens of fleeing people with blazing eyes. A moment later, seventy-eight corpses were piled up on the side of the road, and all the bandits who had just been killed were wiped out. Seeing this, Lu Chen said appreciatively, "Your performance is very good, the old rule, whoever kills the mountain bandit, his property will belong to him!" ”
As soon as Lu Chen's words fell, the people who participated in the battle just now rushed towards the corpse of the mountain bandit one by one. It was only at this time that those recruits who had not participated in the battle suddenly realized that there were such benefits to participating in the battle, no wonder those people just now rushed forward one by one, for fear that they would be a step slower. At the same time, these recruits secretly decided in their hearts that the next time they encountered the mountain bandits, they must also do their best. Otherwise, the property of these mountain bandits will all fall into the hands of others.
They didn't go far before they were once again robbed by mountain bandits. This time, before Lu Chen could give an order, he saw those recruits pounce directly like hungry wolves seeing lambs. However, those veterans who had gone out with Lu Chen before stood still and did not move at all.
When these recruits killed all the mountain bandits, they looked at Lu Chen with burning eyes one by one, and waited for Lu Chen to nod, and then collected the loot.
Unexpectedly, Lu Chen's face turned cold, and he said loudly, "I haven't given an order for you to kill the mountain bandits, why do you want to act without permission?" Don't you know the consequences of acting in the army? ”
After hearing Lu Chen's words, these recruits suddenly turned pale and a little ashamed at the same time. They have forgotten the most basic duties of the military. Thinking of the behavior of themselves and the others just now, the shame on their faces was even worse.
Seeing that these people realized their mistakes, Lu Chen spoke up again, "If it is the first time for you, and because it is not clear, I will not punish you this time." If anyone dares to have a next time, don't blame my men for being ruthless! The reason why Lu Chen suddenly became so stern was mainly to warn these people, so as to prevent them from having more soldiers under them in the future, and some other thoughts would arise.
After hearing that Lu Chen did not pursue it, these people secretly breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.
On the way back, although there were still blind bandits who came out to rob the road, the vast majority of the bandits were still able to see the situation clearly. As for the small number of mountain bandits who didn't know whether they were alive or dead, naturally none of them escaped, and all of them were destroyed.
After four days, 1,500 people finally arrived outside Chang'an City. Lu Chen did not let these people enter the city, if more than a thousand people all entered the city, they would definitely be noticed by the imperial court. When the time comes, Lu Chen will not be easy to explain.
After letting these people camp in the mountains and forests outside, Lu Chen led more than a dozen people into Chang'an City. Immediately, Lu Chen led these more than ten people and went straight to the store of Datang Express.
Seeing Lu Chen coming, Song Cai just said, "Young master, please come with me." After speaking, Song Cai turned around and called a few people, and walked with Lu Chen and them to the room not far away. When I opened the door, I saw a large number of strangely shaped things piled up inside.
