Chapter 30: Firearms robbery
Chu Fengtuan's convoy sped along the forest road, and soon reached the end of the Red Flame Great Forest, the edge of the misty swamp. Writing "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info many merchants in this place began to turn to the west path, in the direction of Flame City.
Of course, there are those who will continue on into the Misty Swamp, which is a dangerous swamp but has a lot to venture out about. For example, some special herbs that grow in the swamp, or some rare animals that only appear in the swamp, and after the "Dragon Star Descended from the Sky", many people also entered the Misty Swamp to find those Dragon Stars that have not yet been discovered and absorbed.
Chu Fengtuan's convoy, under Zhu Bo's command, directly turned right and entered the path leading to Flame City. After driving forward for about an hour, we entered the Chiyan Mountain Range, where high mountains stood on both sides of the trail.
"Stop! At the foot of this mountain, take a break!" Zhu Bo suddenly gave the order to rest, which happened to be at the foot of a narrow mountain. After a day's journey, everyone was a little tired, so they stopped their horses and walked to the side of the mountain to sit down and rest.
"Uncle, is this just waiting for the Imperial convoy here?" Wei Yi looked at the surrounding terrain and asked Zhu Bo.
"No, we are waiting for the young master here, they will get here at a slower speed than us, after all, there is no way to travel in the forest as smoothly as we do on the forest road. Zhu Bo shook his head, then looked back at the direction of the convoy with a little anxiety.
Taking advantage of the time he was waiting, Wei Yi found Black Wind and inspected the situation of the entire Wild Boar Legion with it. It was the first time I felt so stressed, after all, these more than 100 wild boars regarded themselves as objects of expectation, and I felt obligated to take care of them like a parent. Wei Yi suddenly felt that people like his father and young master Xiang Aochu who led the team were so tired, on the surface, they seemed to be comfortable, respected by everyone, and they didn't have to do anything substantial, but in fact, they were very tired.
About an hour later, Wei Yi finally saw the direction coming from the convoy, and a group of people rushed over quickly, it was the young master Xiang Aochu and others.
"Zhu Bo, are you still going well through the checkpoint?" As soon as Xiang Aochu arrived at the foot of the mountain, he first asked about passing the checkpoint.
"Young master, it's going well! Wei Yi, this little ghost, has performed very well and helped me a lot. Zhu Bo replied very easily, and patted Wei Yi, who was standing next to him, on the head to express his appreciation.
"Haha! Yes, Wei Yi! If you successfully complete the next task of transporting firearms this time, it will definitely be a great contribution to Chu Fengtuan! I will definitely reward you when I go back." Xiang Aochu was very happy after hearing this, looked at the military advisor and Chen Zhen, and nodded.
"Young master, Uncle Zhu taught me to say it, and I just painted the gourd in the same way. As for the transportation tasks waiting for you, don't worry, I am just pulling these pigs and transporting the firearms back to Hidden Dragon Mountain. Wei Yi finally got such an important task, naturally he didn't dare to relax easily, and he had already secretly made up his mind in his heart to complete this task no matter what, so that everyone could be impressed with himself.
"Okay! very good!" Xiang Aochu nodded appreciatively to Wei Yi, then turned to the surrounding captains and gave an order: "Fang Tian, you stay and assist Zhu Bo and Wei Yi to protect the convoy, and the other captains will take the elites selected by Hidden Dragon Mountain and go with us." We need to get to the ambush site as soon as possible and get ready. ”
"Yes, young master!" the captains all gave orders, scattered in all directions, gathered their personnel, and prepared to go.
"Ah, I'm here to protect the convoy?" Wei Yi reflected at this time, it turned out that he could only stay here to watch the convoy, and he didn't even have to go to the place where the firearms were robbed.
Obviously, Wei Yi's inadvertent self-talk was clearly heard by Xiang Aochu, Hong Tianyong and others who were still around. Military advisor Hong Tianyong smiled and said to Wei Yi: "Wei Yi, you seem to have a different meaning for the young master's order?"
"I also want to be part of the captains' actions and let me watch the team here, it's so boring. Wei Yi whispered with a little grievance.
"Hehe!" Xiang Aochu was not angry at the young man's self-righteousness, in his opinion, this young man was like himself when he was a child, always hoping to experience those adventurous things. This is undoubtedly a good quality, but it needs to be trained and used well. "Wei Yi, I also very much hope to take you to the battlefield, and then let you use your Black Wind King to teach those soldiers of the empire a good lesson. However, you have shouldered too important a mission this time, and if you are not there, Zhu Bo will not be able to deal with these wild boars; if you are injured, who will help me carry the firearms back to Zanglong Mountain? So, this time you will be wronged and wait for us here!"
The captains all looked at the young master with a smile and spoke to Wei Yi like a child. Of course, they didn't want Wei Yi to go with them, because this mission was still somewhat dangerous, and Wei Yi was still a child after all.
After listening to Xiang Aochu's words, the sense of honor and responsibility in Wei Yi's heart was suddenly stimulated. Immediately said respectfully to this arrogant man: "Young master, I have no disagreement with your orders at all, and I resolutely obey your commands. I will definitely take this group of wild boars well, and then transport the firearms back to Zanglong Mountain. ”
At ten o'clock in the evening, at the southern foot of the Chiyan Volcano, a fierce battle was underway. One side is the firearms transport escort brigade of the Imperial Flame City, and the other side is the main team of the Chu Feng Regiment.
The escort brigade sent by Flame City this time can be said to be an unconventional configuration, with a team of five hundred people. a cavalry and spear corps of two hundred men, encircled the entire perimeter of the convoy; 200 infantry swordsmen and shields, guarded by the transports; There was also a hundred-man musketeer corporate, which lay directly on top of the carriage of transport. This formation can be said to be both offensive and defensive, and there is a basis for advancing and retreating.
However, the situation on the battlefield was completely one-sided, and the Imperial Transport Escort Brigade was as vulnerable as a group of helpless children in front of the luxurious lineup of Chu Feng Tuan, who had dispatched most of the captains.
The stormtroopers led by the "barbarians" and "iron blocks" did not give the cavalry teams on the periphery any chance to spread their legs at all, and in front of Tian Zhong and Liu Dadou, all of them were knocked away with men and horses.
Bai Feng followed behind and swept with his spear, and the soldiers who had finally escaped from the obscenity of the "iron block" ushered in an even more terrifying gun power.
The traps of the "God Hunter" had already been laid on the ground, and at this time they had all been launched, and all kinds of ropes, iron thorns, hidden weapons, and fog filled the entire battlefield, so that the sword and shield men who were originally guarding the vehicles were overwhelmed and caught off guard. Completely forgot about the purpose of his original defense, as well as the support of the cavalry on the periphery.
And Xiang Aochu and Du Yan didn't make a move at all, but watched the battle with Hong Tianyong and others from a distance on the hill.
Suddenly, in the jungle opposite, a group of people came out, shouting to the sky.
"It's coming!" Hong Tianyong seemed to have expected the arrival of this team.
