Chapter 187: Recoil

Thank you for the sturdy slippers and monthly passes!

Most of the sergeants were resting, and a few people in the group were secretly taken into the camp by several forbidden soldiers.

These people are the same traders who have already allocated the amount of salt.

Mu Xuan sat in his big tent, and when he saw these people coming in, Huo Ran stood up, glared at him and shouted angrily: "What did you do yesterday?"

Weishenme Those horse bandits don't come in and rush to kill, just circle around the camp? ”

"Lord Mu, didn't you say that as long as the camp is chaotic, it is easy to kill Jingjiang Long?" A vendor couldn't help but ask.

These traders still wondered, Weishenme Mu Xuan didn't send a border army to chase those horse bandits last night.

They waited not far away with their men, just waiting for the border army to leave, Mu Xuan put a code, and they could go over to pull salt.

As a result, I waited in vain all night.

At this time, all of them are a little sluggish.

Hearing the vendor's rhetorical question, Mu Xuan's momentum stagnated.

Indeed, he said that.

"In short, you must let the horse bandits rush up, so that the camp can be even more chaotic, and then Guo Fang will not be able to distract himself to protect Jingjianglong, and this official will be able to do it well!" Mu Xuan roared.

Several vendors looked at each other.

After a while, someone said worried, "The horse bandits are extremely fierce, they are a harm to the northern Xinjiang, and the imperial court has sent people around to encircle and suppress them many times but they have not been able to do their best, when it comes to combat power, they will definitely not be the opponents of the border army, but they will meet the subordinates of Lord Mu......"

The vendor was tempted to say that it was like chopping melons and vegetables, but he kept his mouth in time.

Otherwise, he would be slapping Mu Xuan in the face.

"By then, Lord Shepherd has lost some of his men, but there is still a way to go." Vendor Road.

"It's okay, you just let those horse bandits rush and kill, even if you really lose too many people, this official will ask for support from the local army." Mu Xuan, who had never been on the battlefield, also thought that he had seen the strength of the horse bandits clearly from yesterday's battle.

"Okay, grass people listen to adults!"

It didn't cost much money to hire horse bandits yesterday, after all, I didn't plan to let the horse bandits come to the real thing.

But this time it's going to cost a little money.

However, fortunately, this batch of salt is large, as long as the salt can be smuggled to foreign tribes, the silver hired by the horse bandits can only be regarded as a small amount of money.

After a little more deliberation in the tent, a few of the vendors quietly left.

A sergeant of the border army who was sent by Guo Fang to keep an eye on him immediately went back to report.

Hearing the news, Guo Fang asked Cheng Gang, Wei Huan, and Jiang Long to discuss countermeasures.

Cheng Gang said: "According to his subordinates, it is better to directly tie up those traders!" ”

"Yes, we don't dare to do anything to them, but we can detain them and release them when the salt is handed over." Wei Huan also said.

"They must have a lot of people with them when they come out to do things, and if they don't go back, those people will immediately move around, and we won't be able to detain them for long, so we have to release them again." Guo Fang shook his head, "Let's think about where they will start next time, how do we deal with it." ”

Jiang Long nodded in agreement with Guo Fang's opinion.

After discussing it for a while, I decided to be on guard at all times to keep up with all changes.

Guo Fang also told Jiang Long not to go out alone, and not to get too close to the forbidden army.

By noon, after eating, the procession continued on its way.

Not long after the start of the promotion, Mu Xuan ordered the team to speed up the pace, saying that he had to make up for the delay in the morning, otherwise he would not be able to arrive at the next foothold on time according to Jihua's arrangement before leaving.

So along the way, the people were exhausted.

They're in charge of pushing the cart.

The soldiers of the forbidden army have been on the road for so many days, and they have exercised, and the first time they encountered the horse bandits last night, it was very novel and exciting, and they chatted with each other in pairs, and no one complained too much for a while.

It wasn't until the evening that Mu Xuan ordered the team to stop burying pots and cooking, but they didn't let them set up camp, and some of the forbidden troops were dissatisfied and made a commotion.

It's the rhythm of an overnight rush.

Jiang Long, Guo Fang, Cheng Gang and Wei Huan got together again.

"Mu Xuan didn't let the team rest, it seems that he planned to let the horse bandits do it halfway." Wei Huan said.

Everyone else nodded.

Guo Fang frowned and thought for a while, then opened his mouth and instructed Cheng Gang and Wei Huan, "After eating, you give some wind to the chief Wu Chang below, let them be more vigilant, and take care of the soldiers under him, last night was just a farce, but today the horse bandits are likely to come to the real thing." ”

"Yes." Wei Huan responded, and then asked again: "The target of the horse bandits should be us, right?" ”

"It's hard to say." Guo Fang shook his head.

Cheng Gang said: "Our side is hard-boned, and with those 800 horse bandits, it is impossible for us to be our opponent." ”

"The horse bandits only recognize money, as long as Mu Xuan's side offers a high price, the leader of the horse bandits will definitely agree." Serving in Northern Xinjiang, Wei Huan knew these horse bandits too well, and even if he took the task, it would only be those thieves who rushed forward who would die.

Those leaders are not going to rush forward.

At most, he drank in front for a while, bringing momentum, and then slowly fell behind.

"Anyway, we must be careful tonight!" Guo Fang said in a deep voice.

After a quick dinner, Jiang Long seized the time to rest for a while.

Mu Xuan's heralds ran around, urging the sergeants to set off on their journey.

The Forbidden Sergeant was complaining.

After a while, the sky was dark, but fortunately, there were a few stars scattered in the night sky, so that the night would not be dark.

The sergeants held torches in their hands, illuminating their feet, and the whole team looked like a snake of fire that was winding and swimming.

In the middle of the night, a herald came to spread the word that Mu Xuan had something to summon.

Tudu, Gunty Bak, and Qin Yu and the others all looked stunned, Mu Xuan was planning to call Jiang Long to the ranks of the forbidden army sergeants?

Jiang Long has been walking in the ranks of the border army now, and it is difficult for Mu Xuan to start.

"Finesse!"

To everyone's surprise, as soon as the herald finished speaking, Jiang Long was already like a dragon!

The sharp tip of the spear pierced the throat of the unsuspecting herald in an instant.

The herald's eyes protruded, his hands instinctively grabbed the barrel of the gun, and without even a scream, he turned over and died!

Jiang Long drew his spear and rubbed the blood off the herald's armor.

"Little master?" Tudu called softly.

They couldn't understand why Jiang Long would suddenly kill such a small herald, and shouted carefully.

In the past few days, this herald has often conveyed orders for Mu Xuan, and he is familiar with many people.

It is difficult to convince people that it is a delicate work.

A few border sergeants walked aside, shocked to see this scene.

How could this well-behaved county magistrate who went to take office rise out and kill people?

Another chief saw that several of his subordinates raised their weapons, guarded Jiang Long, and stepped forward to reprimand a few words in a low voice.

Cheng Gang and Wei Huan had previously given the commanders and captains of the border army a little bit of wind, and they knew some inside stories.

A few sergeants just returned to the team and didn't care about this side of the matter.

However, there are also muttering to himself in his heart, this county commander looks crepe, but it is not ambiguous at all when it comes to killing people.

Deep, fast, ruthless, accurate, the killing must be decided!

They are all secretly on guard, and they should be more careful in the face of Jiang Long in the future.

Gunty Buck didn't have that much curiosity, and since Jiang Long wanted to kill the herald, he naturally had a reason to kill.

Jumping off the horse, carrying the corpse of the military order, it is to run into the night, dig a pit and bury it.

Jiang Long raised his head at this time and looked at the night, "The horse bandits should be about to make a move, go and go to someone to give Master Guo a wake-up." ”

"Yes." A Jingfu guard answered, beat his horse and left.

Glancing at Tudu, Jiang Long said: "Mu Xuan wants to call me to the side of the forbidden army sergeant, which is his territory, so he can secretly do it, or it may be that he has already set a good set, just wait for me to drill, I naturally can't go, otherwise there will definitely be no return."

Mu Xuan and the horse bandits should have agreed on a time to do it, which should be almost the same as the time when I passed it, so even if I kill the herald now, Mu Xuan will not have time to settle accounts with me, and when the horse bandits rush to kill, they can easily shirk and say that they have not seen the herald. ”

"As for the fine work, it is for the border soldiers, so that they don't think too much."

Mu Xuan rode a horse and walked in front at this time, waiting for Jiang Long's arrival.

He has already designed it, after Jiang Long came, he said a few words casually, and let Jiang Long return, and then the people secretly sent by him would definitely be able to take Jiang Long's life.

At that time, the horse that Jiang Long sat on will belong to him.

It's just that after climbing several hills, Jiang Long still hasn't arrived.

Looking up, it was already not far from the place where the merchants had agreed to do it.

"My lord, do you want to go down and take a look?" He Yi was also a little anxious and asked.

Mu Xuan grimaced, looked left and right, and shook his head, "It's too late." ”

It was only a few dozen steps away from the place of action, and it was impossible to order the team to stop, and then go to check that Jianglong Weishenme had not come.

"What then?" Wang Chang asked.

Mu Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and there was a cold light flickering in his pupils, "Jingjiang Dragon must die!" Wang Chang! ”

"The subordinates are here!" Wang Chang, who had a circled beard, answered on the horse.

"You take a hundred sergeants to move slowly, and as soon as the horse bandits make a move, you will take advantage of the chaos to go to the border army, and when you see Jiang Longzhiguan coming forward to cut and kill, someone will naturally carry the black pot for you afterwards." After saying that, Mu Xuan suddenly pointed to the sky with his right hand, and added, "That person also wants Jingjiang Dragon to die!" ”

Wang Chang immediately understood, counted a hundred sergeants, and slowed down the pace of his march.

The team walked a few dozen paces further and had already penetrated into a narrow official road, with high hillsides on both sides of the road.

At this moment, a shout rang out!

"Kill!"

On the hillsides on both sides of the road, a large number of horse bandits wielding weapons suddenly rushed out.

The forbidden sergeant was flustered for a while, and then strangely calmed down.

This shout sounded a little familiar to them, and they reacted, wasn't it the group of horse bandits who came to harass last night?

These sergeants hurried overnight, and their bellies were already on fire.

Full of displeasure.

Yesterday's horse bandits have come running again.

After what happened last night, these horse bandits were just a bunch of soft eggs in the eyes of the arrogant Forbidden Army sergeant.

What is there to be afraid of?

So they first calmed down, and then, without knowing which one shouted, each raised his spear and rushed back.

"Kill these bitches!"

"I didn't sleep well all night yesterday, and today I just settled the account!"

"Chop off their heads for meritorious service!"
