Chapter 61: Attack in the Night!
"Third child, when can you stop being so funny?"
Mei Xuedong looked at Luo Jiahao with a look of hatred and steel, and said, "Didn't you see the end of the rocks?" ”
"I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of whatever, in case their elite soldiers are in the dark......"
Saying that, Mei Xuedong looked at Pan Yulin: "Anyway, we are not the only one who wants him Jiang Tian to die, why should we be the one who is wronged?" ”
"The second child has a point."
A few bandits, it's not a few brothers, but intrigues, you calculate me, I calculate you, everyone wants to expand their own power and territory, Pan Yulin heard it, and immediately thought so.
praised Mei Xuedong, and immediately ordered below: "Tell the brothers below that from now on, it is strictly forbidden to go out without my order......"
"In addition, let the spies stare at Jiang Tian for me."
On the eagle stream, as soon as the dark sentinels left, Jiang Tian Mingjin collected his troops and returned to the camp to cultivate.
In the next few days, Jiang Tian took Lin Shiyan to go out every now and then to show his face, and sometimes, he also learned from those literati, drinking and chanting poems in the beautiful mountains and rivers, and playing the piano.
As a prince, he not only practiced martial arts, poetry, etiquette and music, but also received strict training when he was a child, coupled with the accumulation of his previous life, not to mention making any beautiful articles, occasionally vassalizing and elegant, it will definitely not be a problem, which makes Lin Shiyan look at him, and his eyes are full of stars.
The recruits, under the supervision of Qiu He and Kuang Qi, have just undergone rigorous training.
Sometimes, Jiang Tian would also send them to the field to train and confront the bandits at close range, so that they could feel the tense atmosphere of the war and temper their will to fight.
Although under the overload of training, many people were tired and thin, but their eyes became sharp, and they gradually looked like a bit of an iron-blooded soldier.
Seeing their "rampant" appearance, the three bandits couldn't make up their minds, and they all wanted others to be wronged, so the situation here actually entered a strange stalemate.
Jiang Tian's heart is like a mirror, taking in the dynamics and thoughts of all parties, and under the watchful eye of all forces, he lives a leisurely life of semi-submersible cultivation.
In the blink of an eye, it was a few days later, and it was the day when the caravan went to Xiban City to trade.
Everyone knew that this was a critical juncture in the entire battle situation in Black Rock City, and the atmosphere had become unprecedentedly tense.
Early this morning, at the Chengdong Post Station, Chu Hongyu and others were conducting routine inspections before trade.
"He Bin."
At this time, a hurried horse came from the southeast, and everyone saw that it was He Bin, the scout under Luo Lin, and they couldn't help but show doubts.
Didn't Luo Lin and the others go with Jiang Tian to attack the Eagle Sorrowful Stream, how could He Bin suddenly rush back, was there something urgent?
"Commander Chu!"
He Bin came to the post station, turned over and dismounted, and saluted Chu Hongyu: "My subordinates have an important military report. ”
"Follow me."
Chu Hongyu took He Bin to the post station and asked a little nervously, "What's going on......
"Is it that the Eagle is worried that the war is tight, and the general asked us to go to support?"
"No, no, Commander Chu, you misunderstood! It's like this......"
Seeing that Chu Hongyu had misunderstood, He Bin hurriedly explained Jiang Tian's arrangement, and then handed a letter to Chu Hongyu.
"I see!"
After reading the letter, Chu Hongyu's face was obviously a little excited, and the two walked out of the post station together.
After that, everything went on as usual, and under the escort of the trade guards, the caravan slowly headed towards Xiban City.
After many trades, the merchants have earned considerable profits, one to ten, ten to hundred, and now the number of caravans has become hot, and the size of the caravan has expanded no less than ten times compared to the first time.
The caravan went all the way to the east, less than three hundred miles, and it was already late in the evening.
"Stop, camp here tonight."
Chu Hongyu glanced at the shuttle-like pass in the southeast, took out the letter given by He Bin, carefully checked it, determined the direction, and ordered the caravan to stop on a hill with a wide field of vision.
"Camp here?"
When everyone heard this, they all muttered, they usually went into the town to spend the night, what if they encountered bandits in this barren mountain and wilderness?
"Lord Archon ......"
The merchants got together and muttered for a long time, and sent a representative to find Chu Hongyu.
Chu Hongyu asked, "Boss Liang, is there something wrong?" ”
Boss Liang is in the color cotton business, and one person has tens of millions of taels of assets, which can be regarded as a giant.
He said cautiously: "Commander Chu, look at this barren mountain and wild mountains, strange and terrifying ......"
"Some bosses are greedy and want to go to Qingshan Town to drink some wine, see if you can ......"
When Chu Hongyu heard this, her face sank, and she said coldly: "You mean not to worry about the decision-making of this commander, right?" ”
"It's getting late, and if something goes wrong on the road, which of you can take the blame?"
"Don't dare, Commander Chu is serious, I'm going to tell them now, let them camp here for the night with peace of mind."
As soon as Boss Liang heard that Chu Hongyu was on fire, he immediately broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly withdrew from Chu Hongyu's camp.
You must know that as the commander of the escort team, Chu Hongyu has the right to decide where they go or stay in the caravan.
Although there are some things wrong with the current situation, the first few times of trade have been calm and reliable, and they are brave and good at fighting.
It was impossible for him to risk offending Chu Hongyu and lose the opportunity to earn a huge fortune because of some unwarranted speculation.
It was precisely because of this that next, although everyone was dissatisfied, no one dared to openly oppose Chu Hongyu, so the caravan camped on the hill and prepared to spend the night.
Fearing a sneak attack by the bandits, the merchants took out all the torches they had prepared and lit them, illuminating the entire hill as if it were daytime.
Everyone always feels unsteady, tossing and turning all night, and always can't sleep.
"Boom!"
Sure enough, in the middle of the night, a rumbling hoof broke through the silence of the wilderness, and woke everyone up.
"Lose it!"
"Enemy attack, there is an enemy attack, everyone gather immediately, hurry!"
At this moment, a hurried horse whistle was heard from the direction of the barracks, and a banner commander shouted for all the soldiers to assemble at once.
"There's an enemy attack?"
Immediately afterwards, Chu Hongyu also rushed out of the military tent with a shocked face.
"Come out quickly, line up immediately, and if you don't come to gather after thirty breaths, you will be dealt with by military law!"
Chu Hongyu glanced in the direction where the sound of hooves came, her surprise became even deeper, and she urged loudly.
"Are the robbers coming?"
"Hurry up, let's meet outside!"
Many soldiers had just woken up from their sleep and rushed out of the tents with all their hands in a hurry.
Before going to bed, Chu Hongyu and other officers did not explain at all to remain vigilant, and there were people in charge of patrolling, their spirits were inevitably a little lax, and they slept very deeply, but now they were suddenly woken up, and they were somewhat confused.
"Oops, it's miserable, I finally made a few bucks, this time I have to lose everything, I don't know if I can save my life!"
Seeing the panicked appearance of the escorts, the merchants were all wailing in their hearts, thinking that they were going to die this time.
