Chapter 57: Robbery and Murder (4)

The yellow monkey had a long grass stalk in his mouth, with a lazy look on his face, squinting his eyes at the group of bandits who were running for their lives at the bottom of the mountain, he pinched his fingers to estimate the time, and the people who were close could even hear this battle-hardened young man muttering: "This half pillar of incense hasn't even run yet, and it's really useless to pant like this."

When the group set out from Yibin, according to the rules of the march, they not only brought armor, swords and guns, but also fifteen pairs of strong bows and thirty pots of arrows. Although Chen had a slight complaint, Chen Xianda insisted that the world was not peaceful, and everything was careful, except for not wearing a mandarin duck jacket in order to avoid it, all armaments were no different from those of serious military generals. For this, Chen Xianda also made a special trip to the guard station to find the commander to say hello in advance.

Originally, it was just a precautionary preparation, but I didn't expect it to be used! The yellow monkey didn't say anything to Chen Mingjiang face to face, but he was glad that he brought bows and arrows thanks to Chen Xianda's orders-they brought bows and arrows - they brought small bows commonly used by the northern border army, and the soft southern bamboo bows could not be compared with them at all, and the arrows used were also heavy arrows learned from the Jurchen Tartars - thorn arrows were used at a distance, and arrows were used at close range, which was powerful and heavy, and the damage was even worse!

The yellow monkey slowly raised his arms and stretched out his fists, and shook in mid-air, and among the fifteen archers stood a general officer with a feather on his helmet, he casually looked down the mountain, estimated the distance slightly, and then stood a lunge, slumped down and shouldered, stretched the bow and arrows, did not see how to behave, only listened to the soft sound of the bowstring "Zheng", and then looked, the chest of the bandit who ran in front was shot through by an arrow, and the arrow still did not stay, until it was shot on the shoulder of the bandit behind him, and he screamed in pain!

"Marksmanship, Marksmanship!" The pro-soldiers on the mountain immediately let out a shocking cheer, and the bandits were stunned and did not react, and a rain of arrows that seemed to be pouring into the sky immediately followed by a slashing head and face shooting! Different from the light and fluttering arrows that the bandits are familiar with, this total of fifteen arrows is just a blink of an eye and whistling in the face, after a dull "snatch" several sounds, this group of daring bandits screamed for help endlessly, many people have two or three adult finger-thick arrow shafts shaking, and some people were directly nailed to the ground by an arrow!

In a moment, half of the arrogant bandits fell on the slope, and at this time they didn't even touch the side of the shield wall made of carriage baffles! Some people suddenly felt a chill in their hearts, and when they looked closely, the companions who were laughing together before setting off were now lying in a pool of blood, and they didn't know whether they were alive or dead, and the seriously injured and immortal people couldn't stop moaning. Yin, where have the bandits who are used to robbing houses have seen such a Shura scene! He shouted loudly, ignoring the pleas of his companions, and left the seriously wounded in place, and scattered down the hill in all directions. The yellow monkey put his hand on a pergola in front of the brim of his hat and looked at it, and muttered very boringly: "I made such a mighty look, this is too unbeatable!" ā€

Deng Xiaobao under the mountain is jumping like thunder. There were 26 people in the two teams at the time of departure, and now there are only 18 people who have returned, including the wounded! This halfway attack not only caused him to lose a full eight people on the slope, but also seven or eight people were injured of varying degrees of severity, and only less than half of the previous ones could come back with their whole body!

Deng Xiaobao gritted his teeth with hatred. In order to boost morale, the first wave of people who went up were all directly under Deng Xiaobao, who had been enveloped by him for several years, and everyone was willing to die for him! As a result, there is not a single face, which is half folded, how can Deng Xiaobao accept it!

Lin Dahu came over with a bloody feather arrow and said to Deng Xiaobao with a calm face: "Brothers, this injury is not light!" I went to see it, the arrow is so vicious, heavy and long, I have never seen anyone use it in eastern Sichuan! Leopard head, I'm afraid we'll hit a hard stubble this time! He handed the arrow to Deng Xiaobao, and persuaded him very earnestly: "Leopard Head, half of the people and horses brought out this time are our brothers, and now we have only rushed for the first time, and we have lost so many brothers, which is not a good sign!" Lin Dahu looked left and right, and said in a low voice: "Why don't we just go to Fushun, I have seen the county seat, the city wall is low and broken, and there are not even a few guards, and when I touch it at night, I simply slaughter those two, it is a big deal!" ā€

Deng Xiaobao's eyes were dark and uncertain, and the injured people were groaning one after another. The sound of groaning made his face fierce, and he carefully looked at the feather arrow handed by Lin Dahu, and suddenly held it with both hands, and broke it in two with one force! Deng Xiaobao threw the broken arrow on the ground, and sneered again and again: "Then the Liu and Li families, I must go and talk about it, but now it is not the most important!" I heard that the kid surnamed Li has a team of good players around him, and I think that the brothers will meet him. Now they are cowering on this little hill, do they think I can't do anything about them? Burn it for me, and I'll see how long they can endure it on the mountain!" ā€

"This ...... Leopard head," Lin Dahu cautiously objected, "Once this mountain fire starts, it will be a great deal!" Besides, at this time of year, where can the grass and trees burn? ā€

"If you can't burn, you have the advantage of not burning!" Deng Xiaobao waved his hand and impatiently sent Lin Dahu to hurry up: "If you are told to go, you will go!" Where did you learn to be so verbose! ā€

The yellow monkey and Chen Mingjiang stood on a big rock overlooking the foot of the mountain, and the two of them no longer looked relaxed this time, and they both looked worried-the bandits were obedient this time, and they were going to set fire to the mountain with torches and other things! The yellow monkey gritted his teeth, turned his head and said to Chen Mingjiang: "This group of brutes who have suffered from the plague should be thundered by the sky!" The nearby mountains and forests are lush, and if you burn the mountains here, aren't you afraid of burning them to death in it! ā€

Chen Mingjiang shook his head and said worriedly: "At this time, the weather is not drier than in midsummer, and they don't have any fire-causing things such as tung oil and pine resin, and they can't burn it." It's trying to set fire to smoke and smoke us down the mountain! When the time comes, the brothers will choke and cough softly, and the bandits will come up, and they will have to be arrested without swords and guns! ā€

The two of them were talking in front, but there was a sudden alarm in the back, and Chen Mingjiang and the yellow monkey were furious! They are all old people who have fought wars, how can they still be so breathless! Chen Mingjiang turned around and was about to scold these guys who didn't know anything, but saw Chen and his daughter Pei Pei replace the original cumbersome skirt jewelry, pull up their hair, mother and daughter both wore a straight jacket with arrow sleeves, and several maids behind them also dressed in the same way, everyone held a short hunting bow in their hands, carried a pot of hard arrows, and was heroic!

Chen Mingjiang was shocked, stepped in front of Chen in a few steps, hugged his fists and bowed, his voice was anxious that his head could not be concealed: "Stepmother!" It's critical now, why did you come out with your sister? If you and your sister had any of the strengths and weaknesses, I would have to die here! ā€

Chen's face was flat, he helped Chen Mingjiang up, laughed twice, and said: "If everything is pointed to your father-in-law to save it, I'm afraid that the grass on the grave is now tall!" A few of us women, although we don't have enough strength, but if we shoot a few arrows, we will make it. ā€

Chen Mingjiang saw that he couldn't move the Chen family, so he had to turn his face to his righteous sister Pei Pei, and persuaded bitterly: "Girl, now that the situation is critical, I have received a military order from my stepfather to protect you and my stepmother." Although there are a few thieves now, there are no eyes on the battlefield, if I hurt you, how will I deal with myself?! How sad should my stepfather be!? You have always been a good boy, and you helped your stepmother back to the carriage, and I have everything here! ā€

Pei Pei smiled, hugged his fist and saluted him in a manner, saying it tactfully, but in fact he refused to retreat slightly: "Brother Mingjiang's kindness, my mother and I naturally know it." But in the current situation, there is really no reason for us to sit down, only leaving my brother and you to work hard! Although I am raised in the deep boudoir, I also know the truth that one is prosperous and one is lost! Now we have limited manpower, my mother and I and a few maids can shoot arrows, even if we can't use my brother's big bow, but no matter how small the hunting bow is, it can hurt people! ā€

Before Chen Mingjiang could say more, the yellow monkey grabbed him and said in a deep voice: "Now is not the time to argue about this, the fire has been set below, the smoke is not big now, it can be tolerated, the smoke will rise for a while, it's not a trick!" If you want me to say that it is good for the lady and the girl to change their clothes, in case there is a discord, it is also convenient to act! ā€

Chen Mingjiang looked left and right, and finally sighed: "I have to obey the power now!" He hated this bandit to the core, and swore that he would definitely slash the bandit. At that moment, there was no more to say, and the soldiers were ordered to wrap water-soaked handkerchiefs around their mouths and noses, and Chen ordered the maids to tear some light coats into strips of cloth for the soldiers to use, and prepare to stop, when bursts of dark and thick smoke were about to rise, and it was impossible to see people three steps away from the mountain!

Although everyone was covered by their mouths and noses, but their eyes had no choice, fortunately, the smoke was so big at this time that the bandits could not attack, but even so, the sound of choking and coughing became more and more intensive, and Chen Mingjiang's two eyes were smoked like rabbits, and he was in a hurry and shouted: "Squat down!" Squat down! Don't stand! He dragged down a few people around him and ordered: "A few of you squatted all the way over to spread the word!" Let's just say that there is less smoke underneath, hurry up and squat down! ā€

The yellow monkey endured the smoke, dipped his finger in his mouth and put a little saliva in his mouth and stood up to judge the wind, and in a moment he almost jumped up with joy, straightened up and shouted: "The wind is turning!" The wind is turning! But he didn't inhale the smoke carelessly, and suddenly burst into tears, and almost coughed his back!

Sure enough, but in a moment, a gust of south wind swept in, rolling the smoke back in the direction of the foot of the mountain, and a group of people who were originally extremely uncomfortable hurriedly gasped for breath, but saw that the smoke shrouded the originally triumphant mountain bandits at the foot of the mountain, and suddenly the sound of coughing was endless, occasionally mixed with shouts of shouting and extinguishing fires, among which the sound of cursing was particularly loud!
