When Su Hao's side started to act, the strongman on the opposite side also moved. They initially tried to stealthily approach the camp of the Kanyu Camp and then suddenly attacked. Seeing the pillar of smoke rising in the survey camp, they realized that they had been discovered by the other party, and it was no longer necessary to hide it.

The leader of the strongmen shouted, and a group of strongmen emerged from the bushes and forced themselves into the camp of the Kanyu camp. From the binoculars, Su Hao could see that there were a total of about 20 strongmen in this team, wearing various colors, and many of their clothes were no longer the same color, obviously the result of patches stacking patches. Everyone carried the same weapon in their hands, but only seven or eight had knives, and the others had hoes and sticks, and they were really a group of poor and destitute strongmen.

"Quick, put up the fence, these strongmen don't have any weapons that are worth it, and it's not easy to break through our defenses." Su Hao forced himself to give orders to everyone calmly.

The soldiers had moved all the valuable things in the camp to the women's camp, and were now scrambling to erect the fortifications and prepare to hold on. Several embroidery girls had also heard the news, and they were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they hid in the tent and did not dare to move. Su Hao didn't know how Han Qian's master and servant felt, and he couldn't care about greeting them at the moment of the great enemy.

"Brother Zhao, will you make this?" Su Hao handed a firearm to Zhao Luo and asked him.

"Firebolt? That's a good thing! Zhao Luo was overjoyed. In this kind of close-quarters defensive combat, the firearm is a sharp weapon. If there are seven or eight firearms, plus the fence as a cover, it will not be a problem to deal with 20 or so strongmen.

It's a pity that Su Hao didn't have so many firearms, when Fengnan Baihu was established, Nanchang Mansion distributed a total of three firearms, and the survey team took one away when they went out, and now there are two left in the camp. What's worse is that Su Hao is the only one in the camp who can use firearms. He originally thought that a well-informed person like Zhao Luo would use a firecracker, but when he inquired, although Zhao Luo knew firecrackers, he had never used them.

"Blame me!" Su Hao was annoyed, he had known that he would encounter such a crisis situation, and he should have made the flintlock pistol earlier. The flintlock pistol is easier to operate than this arquebus, and the firing speed is fast. If you have two flintlock pistols in your hand, they are much more powerful than these two arquebuses.

In the past few months, Su Hao has been busy with too many things, such as making telescopes, mining coal, and refining high-manganese steel, and the matter of making guns has been pushed back again and again. In fact, he also thought about finding a time to discuss the matter of the flintlock pistol with the Hao father and son, and he believed that with the skillful hands of the two of them, they would definitely be able to solve the technical problems.

It's too late to regret it now, the two firecrackers are better than nothing, Su Hao packed the gunpowder and projectiles in the firecracker, put them aside, and lit the firerope to ensure that they could fire at any time. Then, like the others, he crouched behind the fence with a spear in his hand, and prepared himself for defense.

The strongmen did not know the depth of this place, so they walked very slowly, and it took them about a quarter of an hour before they reached the camp. The leader-like man was holding a ghost head knife, standing in front of the team, looking at Su Hao and the others who were waiting for the battle.

"Sanzi, go up and shout!"

The leader commanded a minion.

The minions named Sanzi walked out of the team when he heard the sound, walked forty or fifty steps away from Su Hao and the others, crossed his waist and shouted loudly:

"Phew! I opened this mountain, I planted this tree, and I want to hit this place...... Big brother, they weren't passing by, did I shout the wrong one? ”

In this last sentence, the third son turned his head to ask the leader, obviously, the third son's brain is a little not very bright, at this time, he is still thinking about whether he said the wrong thing.

"What are you guys doing?" Su Hao saw that the other party was already approaching, so he stood up and asked loudly at the strongmen.

The leader took a few steps forward and said to Su Hao: "Master Jun invited, our brother is doing business without capital." Seeing that winter is about to begin, our brother's winter clothes have not yet been settled, so I want to borrow some silver from the military master, buy a few winter clothes, and ask the military master to reward them. ”

"This strongman leader is quite knowledgeable." Su Hao smiled and muttered to Zhao Luo beside him, it seems that the ancient atmosphere is really good, even if you are a robber, you know to salute first and then soldier.

"This benevolent brother is really too polite, a few taels of silver, do you still need to say a borrowed word? Brother Ren, please leave a number, and then take the brothers back to wait, I will arrange for someone to send the money to Brother Ren. ”

The other party is polite, Su Hao is more polite than him. This kind of mouth-to-mouth fight, Su Hao likes it the most, because it can delay time. The signal of the smoke pillar has been released, and if Deng Kui, Hao Tong and the others see the smoke column, they should think that there is something wrong with the camp, and they may be rushing back in a hurry now. Time belongs to one's side, and if you can drag on with the other party for a while, you will have a better chance of winning.

The strongman leader laughed and said: "The military master is really a cheerful person, but the matter of giving silver is exempted, and I dare not have the master of the army." Since my brothers and I have already come, the military master will give us the silver now, and we will definitely remember the great kindness of the military master. ”

Su Hao nodded and said, "Well, this truth is also right, Brother Ren can say a number, how much silver you want, I will give it with both hands." ”

"Take out the silver in your camp, let's add two to five, what does the military master think?" The strongman leader said.

Su Hao took out two pieces of broken silver from his pocket and said, "Brother, I only have these two pieces of silver left in my hand, since Brother Ren wants it, Brother will give them together." Come on, go on. ”

With that, with a wave of his hand, two pieces of silver flew towards the strongman leader. The strongman leader stretched out his hand to catch it, and his heart was slightly cold: I can't see that this young officer with a bookish face has a lot of strength.

Su Hao threw silver, firstly, to ease the arrogance of the strongman, and secondly, to show off his kung fu and deter the opponent. After several months of training, Su Hao's physique has improved significantly, and the strength of throwing a piece of silver is also quite domineering.

"The military master is joking." The leader played with two pieces of broken silver and sneered: "You have such a big camp that you only have these two taels of silver?" I advised the military master to be more realistic and move the silver box out. I will do what I say, only take half of it, and never break my promise. ”

"What did he say his name was?" Su Hao asked the soldier next to him.

The soldier Li Kang had a little insight, and hurriedly explained: "He said that his name is Zhen Jiaokeng, and Jiaokeng is a small town south of here, with a maximum of 200 households. ”

"More than 20 strongmen, a small town with more than 200 households, is also embarrassed by him." Su Hao muttered disdainfully, since he knew that the other party was just a small bandit, he was a little more confident, and stood up straight and shouted to the strongmen:

"Listen, old town, and you brethren. We are Ming officers and soldiers, and we are here to prospect for mines on the orders of the imperial court. If you hurt us, you will harm the officials of the court, and you will destroy the whole house. You also have wives and children, three relatives and six deaths, you don't want to take the lives of hundreds of people in your family for this small profit, right? ”

As soon as this remark came out, the strongmen were obviously touched. These little bandits, they usually rob merchants and passers-by, and they have never seen any court officials. This time, they also heard that a small team came from Fuyuan Village, which was said to be very rich, so they became greedy. They had already sent people to scout a few times before, and confirmed that there were not many people stationed in the camp, and they planned to run away with a vote. Now that Su Hao said that the crime of killing the official is so big, everyone is a little scared.

"Big brother, they're officials, let's not provoke them, right?" The third son whispered to Zhen Jiaokeng.

"Rice bucket!" Zhen Jiaokeng kicked Sanzi's ass, "He said that he was an official, but he was an official?" He is an official, Lao Tzu is still the emperor. Don't listen to him, let's do this business without capital, and we will already break the law. There was no turning back from the bow, brothers, rush to me, rush up and cut them all down for me, I see who knows that we did it. ”

"Rush!" The strongmen shouted unevenly, but their feet grinded one by one. Zhen Jiaokeng brandished a knife and smashed a few people with the back of the knife, and everyone came forward.

"It's all steady, level the spear, and stab it when the strong man is within a spear!" Su Hao commanded loudly, this was both an order and a threat to the strongmen. One by one, the soldiers leveled their spears, as they had done when they were trained in the barracks. Ma Yu, Zhao Luo, and Zhao Liu also each had a spear, although the posture was not as standardized as that of the soldiers, but it was enough to scare people.

The strongmen were getting closer and closer, and finally entered a place that was only five steps away from the defensive circle of the Yingyu camp, and the pockmarked pits on the face of Zhenjiao Pit were already clearly visible. Both sides were highly nervous, and no one dared to speak, just gasping for breath one by one, and their faces were red.

"Kill!"

A strongman finally couldn't help it and rushed over with a hoe. At first glance, this person did not have any combat experience, and the hoe was raised high, revealing a vacancy in the chest boss. Li Kang, the soldier who was facing him, only felt that his mind was empty, and he didn't think about it, so he stabbed straight with his spear according to the requirements of the drill code. There was a thud, and the tip of the spear was piercing the strongman's stomach.

"Ahh The strong man still had the strength to howl and retreat. His retreat was just like Li Kang pulling the spear back, and a big hole appeared in the strongman's stomach, and blood gushed out.

"I ...... Vomit! When Li Kang saw this miserable appearance, he couldn't stand it at first, and retched with a spear. The other soldiers also saw this scene, and they only felt that their legs trembled, and the spear could not hold it, and the tip of the spear trembled violently.
