Chapter 30: Business to Business

The first wild elephant fell to the ground with a thud under the attack of dense fire and iron sand, and the bloody scream was screaming, and the bloody nose rolled on the ground a few times, and more wild elephants scattered and fled, leaving only three red-eyed wild elephants to continue to rush madly.

There are still fifteen zhang, Mu Jianming is like a gambler with red eyes, it is obvious that these three wild elephants are already angry, the sound of the fire gun will only make them more angry, and once they retreat, it is obviously too late, as soon as the team is loosened, the giant elephant will rush into the queue without any hindrance, and at that time, the Shenji Battalion will be like a mess of rotten meat at the mercy of the giant elephant.

"No one is allowed to retreat, and there is no mercy for retreating the latter!" Mu Jianming's back was soaked with cold sweat, and the only thing he could do now was to kill the giant elephant before it rushed into the formation.

The eyes of the three hundred well-trained Shenji Battalion soldiers have shown despair, they look forward to each other's companions, and they can't help but have the idea of escaping, fifteen zhang away, if you scare off the three giant elephants, it may still be possible, but it is difficult to kill the three crazy wild elephants, this, everyone knows, the formation began to slowly become loose, although they have undergone cruel training, but the actual combat experience is not much, most people do not know how to overcome the fear in their hearts.

"The second column of musketeers is out!" Mu Jianming screamed frantically.

After a commotion in the queue, several of the gunners who had just stepped out of the queue quietly retracted their feet when they saw the indifference of their companions beside them, and one more step forward meant being one point closer to death, most of them did not have the courage to do so.

"Out of the ranks, those who don't make the list will be killed!" Mu Jianming was about to go crazy, he couldn't have imagined that just now the Shenji Battalion, which was still full of morale, had all become a bad seed.

The three elephants continued their final sprint, their snow-white fangs arching forward, and a slaughter would begin as soon as they crossed the distance of ten zhang.

A figure stepped out of the crowd and shouted, "The first team of crossbowmen crouches, the second team of crossbowmen stand in place, ready!" ”

"I have given orders to the sky, and I will not be injured by a few beasts, today I and you are equal to life and death, and we will share hardships, shoot!"

"It's the emperor." Someone began to exclaim.

"What are you doing, shoot!" Zhu Jun's forehead is still oozing with fine beads of sweat, when he found that the situation was wrong, with a blood in his chest rushed madly, the Shenji Battalion is his greatest effort, there is no room for mistakes, he can brutally kill the pirate leader who has done a lot of evil, and he can not hesitate to frame the people who block his path with a conspiracy, but he never wants those soldiers who are willing to follow him to have too many mistakes.

Courage was only a moment, he kept panting, after calming down, he was a little afraid, and the giant elephant in front of him rushed faster and faster, like a violent wind, rushing towards his face.

"Bang bang ......" The guns rang out, and the feathered arrows of the crossbow whistled out with fiery lead pellets.

Under the close firing of hundreds of crossbow arrows and lead pellets, another wild elephant with blurred flesh and blood fell unwillingly in the neighing.

"The third team of gunmen crouches forward, and the fourth team of crossbowmen stands behind them, shooting!" Zhu Jun is out of the way, charging into battle and taking the lead is not the quality that an emperor should have, but Zhu Jun doesn't care, in fact, it is too late for him to escape.

"Bang Bang ......" guns and crossbows fired in unison, the target was the wild elephant on the right, and under the powerful firepower, the wild elephant fell to the ground with a bang.

Two feet to go, the wild elephant on the left has stretched out its trunk, ready to enjoy the bloody slaughter that is coming.

"It's the last time, brothers, shoot me!" Zhu Jun frantically pointed to the wild elephant not far away, and soon, Mu Jianming pounced and pressed him to the ground, the front feet of the giant elephant had stepped down, and with a bang, Zhu Jun only felt a tingling pain in his eardrums, and his ears and nose were filled with dust, which was indescribably uncomfortable.

Zhu Jun looked sideways, only to see that the front feet of the wild elephant had crossed over his body, and he was about to step on it into a pulp, but fortunately, Mu Jianming reacted quickly enough, otherwise this golden fate would have been explained.

"Shoot!" Mu Jianming, who was pressed on Zhu Jun's body, raised his dusty face and roared.

"Bang bang ......" The deafening sound of fire was endless......

At night, the stars are shining brightly and the full moon is in the sky.

The Budongqin in the cottage was played by the Karen youth wearing a black turban, the melodious tune was like the Karen youth appealing to the beautiful girl, the bonfire was lit in the cottage, the Karen girls in costume danced happily, the fragrance of sweet tea could be smelled from afar, and the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion sat on the ground, cheering around the bonfire with the sound of the piano.

"This bucket of sweet tea is dedicated to our bravest Han warriors." Zhuoma, a Karen girl, walked to Mu Jianming's side with a twist with a sweet tea, and the dim halo emitted by the bonfire did not hide the blush on the girl's face.

The girl spoke Burmese, although Mu Jianming didn't understand, but he had guessed one or two, and his companions began to coax, and in a burst of cheers, Mu Jianming took the bamboo tube containing sweet tea and drank it all.

In the Elder's Stilted Building, however, it was a different view, with nine elders sitting in various corners of the building, and Toulon and Zhu Jun sitting side by side, telling the elders about Zhu Jun's plan.

The elders looked at Toulon and then at Zhu Jun, and each frowned.

Zhu Jun's face sank like water, boredly playing with the bamboo tube in his hand, secretly observing the facial expressions of each elder, and guessing the attitude of each elder.

"Brother Zhu, the elders asked how many people you need to build a mountain camp." After talking with the elders for a while, Toulon turned his head and asked Zhu Jun.

"Four hundred." Zhu Jun stretched out four fingers.

Toulon immediately showed embarrassment, there are only less than 2,000 people in the entire cottage, and the number of young and strong men happens to be only this number, so wouldn't it be necessary to empty the entire cottage?

In fact, Zhu Jun didn't plan to ask for so much, his bottom line was one hundred and fifty to two hundred, the reason why the price was all over the place was just to think of having more room for maneuver when he landed and repaid the money, this is one of the most commonly used means for merchants in later generations, Zhu Jun is not stupid or stupid, and it is inevitable to play some small tricks.

"Brother Zhu, four hundred is too much, the elders will definitely not agree, it is better to lower it a little."

"Well." Zhu Jun's face was embarrassed, and he hesitated and said, "Three hundred, at least this number." ”

Toulon turned to the elders again to discuss, and the elders shook their heads and objected.

"Brother Zhu, the elders said that three hundred is too much. They have a lot of respect for you, and they are very grateful that you can sacrifice your life to drive out wild elephants in the cottage, but if there are 300 men missing from the cottage, it is really unacceptable to everyone. ”

Zhu Jun said: "In this case, what is the number they want, Brother Toulon, you also know that if the number is too small, it will not be effective at all." ”

Toulon consulted with the elders and said, "The elders are willing to give two hundred men, but I hope that your previous promise will be kept. ”

"Two hundred and fifty people, there can be no less, I will help you solve the food problem, and the salary is not a lot, but these young people must be loyal to me." Friendship is friendship, business is business, Zhu Jun feels like a slave trader.

"As soon as I say it, tomorrow I will gather the young people of the cottage and let them go with you, do you want those iron filings, let them carry them back together, this is what we specially gave to Brother Zhu in order to express our gratitude to you." Toulon breathed a sigh of relief and stood up.

"Okay, everything is arranged by Brother Toulon." Zhu Jun also stood up and arched his hand towards Toulon.

At this moment, there was a noisy noise outside the building, and countless natives shouted: "Prus! Pruth! ”

Zhu Jun was secretly strange, but he caught a glimpse of Toulon's face changing, and hurriedly asked, "Brother Toulon, what happened?" ”

"I'm afraid it's Her Royal Highness the princess, you wait here for a while, and the elders and I will go to greet you." Toulon patted Zhu Jun's shoulder with a gloomy face, comforted him, and disappeared at the entrance of the door with a group of elders.
