Chapter 30: The Great Victory, the Big and the Small Fox
The rest of the horse thieves saw that the big boss Redbeard had been killed in battle, and they had no intention of fighting, they all looked at each other and pressed close together, and they were all worried in their hearts, not knowing how these caravan guards would treat them.
Chu Chongshan looked at the remaining dozens of horse thieves, took a few steps forward, and shouted: "Your big boss is dead, and the rest of you are still ready to resist?"
As soon as the thieves let him drink, they all cowered and retreated.
"You want us to surrender? That's absolutely impossible! I'd rather die in battle than be taken prisoner!"
Someone in the group of horse thieves suddenly shouted. It turned out that the yellow bald man of the four masters was hiding in the crowd, and seeing that the thieves had no desire to fight, he was afraid that once these horse thieves surrendered, they would be harmed by the caravan, so he encouraged the thieves not to surrender.
The Golden Sword King was held by his men, and saw that the group of horse thieves refused to surrender. He frowned, and discussed with Chu Chongshan in a soft voice: "This group of horse thieves refuses to surrender! If we want to kill them all! It will also take a lot of effort, and our side will also hurt a lot of brothers in vain! But if we let them go, I am afraid that they will gather again to take revenge on the caravan! Brother Chu, how do you think this matter should be handled?"
Chu Chongshan listened to the four masters who only said that they would not surrender, but did not say anything like revenge for Redbeard. Knowing that these horse thieves saw that Redbeard was dead, they had no will to fight in their hearts.
"The king, you see, if you force them to make an oath. If they don't attack the caravan, let them go. If not, even if you lose a few men, you have to kill him without leaving a piece of armor. But let them go, and let them leave their weapons and horses behind. Without weapons and horses, they just want to break their promise and start over, and they will also lack combat power. "
If you don't have a horse, what kind of horse thief is you?
Horse thieves are quick because they have horses. Usually, after robbing a vote, he roared away, and this action was extremely swift.
And leaving the horses behind is exactly the plan to draw wages from the bottom of the kettle! The Golden Sword King secretly praised Chu Chongshan's wonderful move, and hurriedly nodded in agreement.
"You have fallen into the grass and done all the evil deeds! Originally, the sin was unforgivable! But you big bosses are also considered men, although he is dead, but for the sake of begging for your life when he is dying! Let you live! Who can be the master? How about coming out and talking?"
Among the horse thieves, from the big boss to the third boss, they all died in the hands of Shi Jiu. The most pitiful thing is that the five masters were drunk and did not wake up, and died in the melee. The six masters also died under the joint attack of Li Mazi and the Golden Sword King before.
Of the six leaders of the horse thieves in Redbeard, only one of the four leaders is left bald.
At this time, when all the horse thieves heard that Chu Chongshan wanted to let them live, they immediately looked at the yellow bald man! Seeing that the horse thieves under his command were all looking at him, the yellow bald man walked out with a hard head.
Chu Chongshan's eyes were cold, and he kept staring at the yellow bald man, and the yellow bald man was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.
The yellow bald man had been catching and killing Qian with one shot before, and he was also seen to be very strong at that time. It's just that at this time, Redbeard is dead, and the horse thieves are missing the backbone, and it is inevitable that their hearts will be empty.
He had planned to encourage the thieves not to surrender, and to rely on the thieves as a legal code to negotiate with the caravan guards! If the negotiation was good, he would be able to take these horse thieves out and make his own way! The leaders of the family were all dead, and when the time came, he would be the biggest among the horse thieves, and the seat of the big boss would naturally be himself!
The yellow bald man saw that Chu Chongshan was expressionless, his eyes were cold, and he just stared at himself without saying a word. That look seemed to have seen through his careful thoughts, and he only felt that the cold sweat on his body was blown by the night wind, and his whole body was cold and greasy, and it was uncomfortable.
The yellow bald man really couldn't stand Chu Chongshan's gaze, and he didn't want to lose his prestige in front of the group of thieves! He pretended to be tough and shouted: "If you have anything to say, just say it quickly? It's just a big deal! If you want to fight, you will fight! Over the years, you have followed the big boss across the grassland for several years! Who have you been afraid of? Are you brothers?"
Never thought that the thieves behind him only wanted to live, he shouted loudly, but he didn't even say a word of response?
The yellow bald man was very inward-looking, bluffing, and seeing that no one behind him responded, he had to pretend to be calm! But those hands betrayed his true heart, and those hands kept trembling slightly.
Chu Chongshan saw everything in his eyes, raised his thick eyebrows, and suddenly shouted: "Why do you still have to fight? Lao Tzu will fulfill you!"
The guards behind him shouted in unison and took another step forward.
The bald man's face changed in shock, and his voice trembled, "Okay! You're not afraid of losing manpower......? "
"Boom!" A fireball suddenly exploded in front of him! He almost sat down on the ground in fright, and swallowed back the cruel words he was about to utter.
I saw that behind Chu Chongshan, a hooded magician had just put down the staff.
It turned out that the sorcerer of the Chamber of Commerce also rushed over under the protection of the guards, and when he saw that the yellow bald man was still going to be ruthless, he used the Yuan Li that had just recovered a little bit to send a fireball technique.
The thieves were so frightened that they told everyone to retreat, only to hear a few chaotic sounds of "bells", and a few horse thieves were so frightened that even their blades fell to the ground. The tragic appearance of the horse thief who died under the fireball before is still vivid, how can you not be afraid of the fireball at this time?
The bald man's face changed completely, it's over! The other party's sorcerers all came over, looking at the frightened horse thief, the bald man didn't dare to bluff anymore. Don't know how to get back to the conversation? Just want to find a staircase?
But when he saw that the sorcerer had raised his magic power again, he immediately shouted in a panic that he didn't care about his face: "You can't do this! How can you be treacherous? You just agreed to the great master's dying request to let us go, why do you want to change your mind now? You don't talk about morality?"
"Why don't we talk about morality? Didn't you just have to fight again? I also respect you for being a man in charge! If you agree to him, we will naturally do it! It's just ...... "
The yellow bald man's eyes were terrified, and his heart was raised to his throat, and when he heard Chu Chongshan say that he would agree to Redbeard's request before he died, his heart was relieved. This life can be saved!
The horse thieves also relaxed their hearts slightly, if they can live, who wants to die?
Who knew that what Chu Chongshan said came to a big pant again, and the three words 'just' hung this heart high again.
The yellow bald man had his mouth half-open, just waiting to hear what Chu Chongshan was going to say next.
Chu Chongshan saw that all the horse thieves had nervous expressions on their faces, and they all looked at him.
He smiled coldly, "It's okay to let you go, but what if we wait for you to go back, gather people and horses, and come back to take revenge on the caravan?......? "
When the bald man heard this, he hurriedly said: "Don't worry! At the beginning, we had persuaded the big boss to collect some tolls and it would be over." Who knows that he will not listen! The big boss will insist on going his own way, saying that he has to ask a few brothers for an explanation and take revenge!"
"If he hadn't been the enemy of your caravan, the brothers wouldn't have come here to fight your caravan? Now that he is dead, it can be regarded as self-inflicted! After our brother returns, where will he dare to disturb your caravan again? We will never dare to come, even if we see your caravan in the future! Your Excellency, please rest assured! Please rest assured...... There was a strong sense of begging and begging in these words! Not only was he disrespectful to Redbeard, but he also had a lot of complaints.
The caravan guards couldn't help but scoff at the character of the yellow bald, and the redbeard tried to save his men before he died, but the yellow bald man blamed all the faults on him.
If Redbeard knows underground, how should he look at this loyal four masters?
"Well, Heaven has the virtue of a good life! I have answered the dying cry of your great master. As long as you make an oath, and leave your weapons and horses behind, let you go!"
"What? Leave the horses behind? So how do we go? No horses...... When the yellow bald man heard this, he was a little anxious, and he wanted to argue a few words.
"Do you want to be close to an inch? It is a great kindness to keep you alive! Why? Do you want to ride a horse to contact other horse thieves, and you can't make a comeback? If you want to live, do as I say! Don't wait for me to regret it, let you all stay and accompany your big boss!"
Chu Chongshan's eyes widened, interrupting the yellow bald man's pleading and shouting loudly.
When the yellow bald man saw this situation, he had no choice but to give in. The first took the lead in making a poisonous oath, and the rest of the thieves also laid down their horses and blades.
The yellow bald man couldn't stop arching and nodded, and walked away on foot with the rest of the horse thieves.
Chu Chongshan saw that this yellow bald man was rude on the surface, but in fact he was cautious, and seeing that he was able to bend and stretch, he was also a ruthless character, and secretly said in his heart whether he should send someone to end up with this guy? After thinking about it, forget it, how much storm can a horse thief stir up? Not to mention that he is a victim on the grassland, far away from his home and country! Even if this guy is in the future, he will be in the wind and water, and he will also have a headache from the grassland and the Sun Empire! What can he do to hinder himself?
Shaking his head and smiling, he also helped clean up the battlefield.
Everyone cleaned the battlefield, buried the corpses, treated the wounded, and was busy until dawn. The rear camp knew that the attack on the camp had been successful, and before the battlefield was cleaned, wine and meat were sent over one after another.
After breakfast, several people reported the results of the battle, and more than 100 horse thieves were killed and injured in this battle. Most of them died during the time when the camp was first attacked, and the convoy had lost more than a dozen men here. Chu Chongshan's men also killed one and wounded three.
Everyone gathered up the booty, most of which were horses and weapons left behind by horse thieves. A few men were sent to escort the horses back to the caravan camp before returning to the camp together.
Knowing that Chu Chongshan and these people were about to arrive at the camp, Luo Sanye greeted him early. With a smile on his face, he thanked and comforted everyone.
When he saw that almost all of the men and horses led by the King of the Golden Sword were wounded, he hurriedly ordered the doctors in the caravan to treat the wounded.
Li Mazi was the most seriously injured, and he was still in a coma at this time, so he was first sent to the tent for careful treatment. The Golden Sword King was injured in his internal organs, and he lost his strength again, and was helped to go to the inner tent to recuperate.
Luo Sanye saw that several of the main characters were injured, and since they were the most serious injuries of Li Mazi, he ordered a few more people to be sent to take care of them.
When he was done with these, he hurriedly came with Qian Yigun to see Chu Chongshan and a few people. Chen Shao'an had already come to see Shi Jiu, and when he saw Shi Jiu's injuries, he knew that the battle was tragic last night.
While complaining that Chu Chongshan didn't take care of Shi Jiu, he re-medicated and bandaged Shi Jiu's injury. Chu Chongshan kept smiling bitterly on the side, and it wasn't until Shi Jiu explained a few more words that Chen Shao'an gave up.
Someone outside the door reported that Luo Sanye was here.
As soon as Luo Sanye entered the tent, he made a big gift and said with a smile: "Thanks to a few heroes yesterday! I heard from these guards, if it weren't for Brother Shi's miraculous skills yesterday, he beheaded that red beard! I don't know how many people would have been lost? Brother Shi is really a hero out of a young man!"
Shi Jiu excused himself politely, and Luo Sanye said many kind words.
After chatting for a long time, Chen Shaoan saw Luo Sanye say some polite words on the side, but he didn't say a word about the horses and weapons of those horse thieves, let alone how to distribute them? These more than 100 good war horses are not a small amount!
Chen Shao'an coughed when Luo Sanye stopped talking for a while. smiled and said: "Shopkeeper Luo, we have shown a lot of limelight this time." In the future, if the horse thieves on this grassland see the Luo family's caravan, they must flee in despair! This battle will make the name of our Luo family's business house! This time they will be beaten with fear in their hearts, and they will never dare to provoke us again! Hehe...... "
"That's, that's! It's not by virtue of your bravery! Brother Shi Jiu's magic skills are world-shattering! Haha...... "
"It's just that this time we have also lost a lot of manpower, and we have also lost one of Brother Chu's subordinates here, and we have injured several brothers? Although this battlefield is dangerous and the sword has no eyes, it makes people feel sad after all...... Alas...... How should the family members of the brothers and family members of the family be sad and sad when they hear about this loss? Not to mention the existence of the pillars of the family! How should his family live ...... this death?"
Chen Shaoan sighed for a long time.
Chu Chongshan listened to it, and his heart was even more sad. Although they have long been accustomed to life and death, they have taken life and death lightly! But seeing away their comrades-in-arms with their own hands, who would not be sad and sad?
"Brother Chen, I have prepared a pension, and I will hand it over to his family when I go back...... Chu Chongshan said in a low voice with a heavy face.
"Shopkeeper Chu, Third Prince, the pension of your subordinates will be paid by our firm!"
"Shopkeeper Luo, how can this work? Chu Mou...... "
"Oops...... Shopkeeper Luo has a heart, then I will thank you for Brother Chu first!"
Chen Shao'an saw that Chu Chongshan was about to resign, so he hurriedly got up and thanked him.
"You're welcome! The old man is also saddened by the loss of the brothers under the shopkeeper Chu! How can you not do some meager efforts? You two don't need to be polite...... "
Chu Chongshan just started to start Chen Shao'an speak, and he was sitting on the side smiling silently, just looking at the fighting method of the two foxes of this size.
At this time, when he mentioned himself, he hurriedly got up and gave a salute to Luo Sanye to show his gratitude.
"Shopkeeper Luo is bold, righteous and talented! Chu admires, if Chu shirks again, it will make people laugh! Chu is here to thank you!"
"Where, where, shopkeeper Chu, Hugh should be so polite...... "
Chen Shao'an saw that Luo Sanye still didn't mention the loot, and secretly said in his heart: "This old fox is really slippery! I just want to cheat the loot with a little pension? This abacus is crackling! If you deceive a loyal person like Brother Chu, it's okay! You want to play this trick in front of me? Hmph, that's really, they are all old Chinese medicine doctors for many years, who prescribes medicine to whom? I, Chen Shao'an, how can I be that two or three-year-old child? How can I make you as you wish?"
As soon as I stretched out my hand, I found a folding fan out of nowhere.
With a 'swish', he opened the fan and shook it twice, and the fan was not an inscription scene, but a half-naked lady.
He got up from his seat and paced a few steps, half-covering his fan over his chest, thinking that he was full of elegance. I didn't know that the picture of the half-naked lady was matched with a lewd and treacherous smile, and she was full of the image of a street scoundrel, which was really far from the word chic? Seeing Shi Jiu, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.
After settling his posture, Chen Shaoan turned around and faced Chu Chongshan.
"Brother Chu, do you have something to ask?"
"Brother Chen, what's the matter? "
"Yesterday's battle killed countless thieves, and the bandit leader Redbeard was also killed by Shi Jiu! I heard that the redbeard begged for his horse thief before he died, and he saw that this redbeard was also a man, and he still knew how to survive for his brother when he died. It is said that Brother Chu was the last master to let the remnants of the horse thief flee for his life?
"Exactly, at that time, Wang Da Dang and Li Da Dang were seriously injured, and Commander Qian led people to threaten the remnant horse thieves, and they couldn't get out for a while, and there was no one on the caravan side. Considering that if we want to kill all the horse thieves, in that case, it is inevitable that the horse thieves will fight for their lives, and it will inevitably break the net and break many of our brothers in plain terms. As soon as the person said, he saw that the red-bearded man was also a man who valued love and righteousness, and begged for his subordinates when he was dying. Then he was moved by compassion, and the lord answered his plea, and promised to let the horse thieves live. "
"Brother Chu's decision was of course the most appropriate under that circumstance at that time! It's just that those horse thieves killed people and sold goods on weekdays, and they really robbed a lot of good things. If you want to let them go, did Brother Chu let them leave some money to buy their lives?"
Chu Chongshan's face turned red, "This, I really didn't expect it, but looking at their clothes, they look like they are called flower children, and they don't look like rich lords...... "
"Hey, wouldn't we have lost a lot of money? After working in the middle of the night, we lost a lot of brothers. Didn't make any gains? This business has been done at a loss!"
Chu Chongshan said in his heart: "This defeat of the horse thieves has already been defeated, how can you still say that it is a loss? What is this Brother Chen going to turn his mind to?"
This Chu Chongshan was originally a delicate and intelligent person, but he had been in the army for a long time, and his mind turned a little slower.
Thinking of this, he hurriedly added: "Oh, I forgot to say, we also put forward conditions when we released the horse thieves yesterday, and we detained all the horse thieves' war horse weapons!"
Chen Shaoan's eyes lit up and he looked at Chu Chongshan with satisfaction. Sure enough, he is a smart person, and he can understand it at one point, which is really the way! hehehehe......
The old fox on the side immediately understood what Chen Shao'an meant, how could he sit back and wait for Chen Shao'an to ask. That's not only passive, but also not good-looking. Hurriedly took over the conversation with a smile: "No, I was patronizing to see Brother Shi's injury just now." The old man came here to discuss with the two of them about these war horses, but he forgot to talk about it. Hahaha...... "
"Oh, it's okay! It's not too late for us to talk about it carefully?Third Master Luo, how are you going to distribute and deal with this batch of war horses?" This title has also changed from Shopkeeper Luo to Third Master Luo.
Luo Sanye secretly thought in his heart: "This Chen San is also a fine ghost, if he gives less, he will definitely not agree!"
Luo Sanye endured the pain and said with a smile: "Young Master Chen, what do you think of this batch of war horses?"
