Chapter 1561: Robbery
The robbery target selected by the robbers in the forest has not yet arrived, and there is enough time, Ma Hanzi went on a trip and came back, saying that he had selected a fairly good ambush location and asked everyone to follow.
There is a mound on the right side of the road a few hundred meters away from the dense forest, and Luo Chong, the dozens of people, are hiding behind the mound, and they will indeed not be discovered.
The people descended the main road, walked around the rugged wilderness for a while, and then hid on the back of the mound.
These guys are all qualified special forces, even if they are dragging a carriage and a wagon, they can be hidden and undetected.
Luo Chong and Liu Mingtang dismounted, walked up to the mound, nodded slightly, and checked the situation on the other side of the dense forest.
It was impossible for Liu Mingtang not to care about the safety of his family, so he couldn't help but ask Luo Chong: "What is the size of the other party's number, do you think you will be sure of victory." ”
Ask, at least you know what to expect. If it is replaced by a civil official who lacks courage, he will not ask, and he will not agree that Luo Chong has nothing to do and asks for trouble.
Luo Chong's tone was firm: "There are less than five hundred people, so there is no need to worry. ”
"So, your people can be ten with one?"
Liu Mingtang was a little unconvinced, he was all elite soldiers, and he couldn't reach this level.
"If the other party is the Qingyuan Army, of course not. But they are just thieves, a rabble, and they will be crushed as soon as they rush. ”
Luo Chong turned his head and smiled: "Besides, don't forget that I can deal with one or two hundred people myself." ”
Liu Mingtang had confidence at this time, nodded and smiled: "With a fierce general by his side, he is steadfast in his heart." ”
The two are already very familiar with each other, and their names are quite casual, so there is no need for Lord Liu and Luo Baihu to be so fake and polite.
Luo Chong said again: "Actually, I want to say that I am not afraid of one or two thousand people coming to him, but I am afraid that you will not believe it." ”
"Okay. ”
Liu Mingtang waved his hand: "It doesn't matter if you believe it or not, anyway, my family's life has been handed over to you." ”
"Don't worry, if I hurt a single hair of my wife and young lady, I will kill myself on the spot. Luo Chong swore an oath.
Liu Mingtang was almost relieved, and after a little pondering, he said: "Speaking of which, if you can kill the bandits this time, you should add another sum to your merit book, and I won't take your credit here, then ......"
In the latter words, I deliberately bought a pass.
There is no need to ask, Luo Chong can also guess that he wants to support himself to sit in the position of thousands of households, so he smiled and said: "I already treat you as a brother, and you have taken all the credit, so what's it, just invite me to have a few drinks another day." ”
"Good, good!"
Of course, Liu Mingtang doesn't care about that bit of credit, it's just that this kind of thing is useful to anyone who listens to it.
The two muttered quietly, under the mound, the sergeants had already made the most full preparations for battle, and could bypass the mound at any time and launch a charge.
After waiting for a while, Ma Hanzi, who had gone to investigate, hunched over and ran back, and reported again: "From north to south, there is a convoy slowly coming, five wagons carrying heavy loads, and two carriages with passengers, escorting a team of about 100 people. ”
That's the goal, without a doubt.
Luo Chong's men and horses belonged to the north along the road, but the convoy was going all the way south, and they would inevitably meet each other on the main road.
Ma Hanzi continued to add: "The two carriages are gorgeous and engraved with official inscriptions, like the carriage of a certain official. ”
There are clear rules on the hierarchy of the carriages that officials can ride and those that can be ridden by squires and tyrants, and there are some things that can not be enjoyed just by having money.
That's even better!
Liu Mingtang gave Luo Chong a look, no need to say it explicitly, it means: If you save a certain official, your credit will be even greater, maybe I can really follow the light.
Then be patient.
In about a quarter of an hour, a dark shadow appeared on the road in the distance, and the convoy slowly came over.
Their travel speed was about twice as slow as Luo Chong's escort, which was considered the normal speed of this world.
"It's slow. ”
Liu Mingtang couldn't help but sigh: "I've been used to your speed in the past two days, and it's unbearable to see this again." ”
Of course, this feeling also has a lot to do with the slightly nervous state of mind at this time, the theory of relativity.
The escorts of the convoy were a little careless about the exploration of the road ahead, perhaps because the number of days on the road was too long, and this aspect was slowly relaxed.
Anyway, they didn't notice that there were a large number of men lurking in the dense forest, and they kept their speed in front of the dense forest.
Dangdangdang......
The sound of the gong sounded immediately, indicating that the lurker belonged to a group of bandits, not a low horn of horse thieves.
"Kill!"
Immediately, the shouts of killing rang out, and a large group of bandits in disarray, but with yellow strips of cloth tied on their foreheads, rushed out of the forest.
He wore a strip of yellow cloth around his head so that he would not accidentally injure his own people during the scuffle. Yellow is more eye-catching, and it is not as easy to be confused with flying blood when killing red eyes like red cloth strips.
"There are more than 600 people, and it should be at least three groups of bandits who are working together to commit the crime. ”
The reason why Liu Mingtang judged this way was because of his understanding of the various mountains in the Guangling Territory, at least in this area, there is no such scale as the group of bandits.
If the number of people exceeds 500, it is not a bandit in the conventional sense, and there is a danger of exposing the rebellion, and officials in any place dare not ignore it.
The joint cooperation case of the bandits on the three hills is really a big deal.
"Maybe there will be horse thieves, doesn't it mean that Yuanqinghu's horse gang has also moved?"
Liu Mingtang is still analyzing.
Luo Chong smiled silently and nodded. Such calmness and calmness made Liu Mingtang, who was nervous, feel a little at ease.
The shouts and killings over there were higher and higher, but in fact, the casualties of the bandits and the escort team were not strict, they were just mixed food, who wanted to fight hard.
Dingding......
The sound of weapons clashing was quite intense, but people were as far away as possible, and they were all shouting and shouting to intimidate each other.
In the case of robbery of a general nature, there are very few cases of the use of force, and the bandits open a posture to block the way, shouting to scare them, leaving a lot of property, and letting the convoy or caravan pass, try not to hurt people.
Everything must not be too desperate in order to live for a long time, this truth, the bandits understand better than anyone else.
Only such a special operation will not say a word, but will come up and do it, clearly to loot other people's property.
"Knowing that it was a robbery officer, he dared to do such a ......"
Liu Mingtang's expression was solemn: "These bastards are planning to rebel!"
There are man-made rebellions in various places, the scale is different, and Guanglingwei has also successfully suppressed it twice, Liu Mingtang's judgment should be reliable.
It's just that the so-called suppression is to drive the rebels out of the Guangling territory, get a group of heads to hand them over, and say that they have been completely wiped out, so they will be fooled.
If you want to really exterminate it, the local army that has long been rotten to the bones really can't do it, and they can't chase it far, and they are all tired and lying down.
Those who rebelled also had a tacit understanding, and they would not always use the same name, wander from place to place, and then change their names, so that they would not take the initiative to expose the previous case records, and the officials of all parties would understand it, so they would not bother to pursue them with all their might.
Besides, if someone rebels, it will be suppressed, and the imperial court will have to allocate funds to the local government, otherwise, there will be no money to pay, and the soldiers will not have enough to eat, how can they afford to fight with a sword. So the matter goes on and on, and the officials will only have a lot of benefits to reap.
The layers of protection of officials, the unspoken rules are set one by one, and the only ones who suffer are the royal family and the common people, and this is the current corruption of the entire country.
Having said all this, the robbery process over there has basically come to an end, and the escort team is already at an extreme disadvantage in terms of numbers, and they are reluctant to work hard, so they were quickly dispersed, and they all lost their weapons and ran away.
It is impossible for the bandits to chase and kill, I wish they had run away and not come back, so it would be easy for us to drive the car back triumphantly.
There were less than thirty corpses lying on the ground, most of them were guards, and such a large-scale robbery was impossible without the dead.
Hundreds of bandits surrounded the three layers of the three outer layers of a total of seven troikas, and the money was robbed, and it was hard to say whether they would continue to hurt people.
If there are female dependents, I am afraid that they will end miserably, anyway, they have made up their minds to rebel, and there will be a lot less scruples in all aspects.
"It's our turn. ”
Luo Chong and Liu Mingtang glanced at each other, and then waved lightly behind them.
Fifty heavily armed GIs rushed out with neat steps, and the first two hundred meters did not need to be shouted at all, just pressed over in such a gloomy and gloomy manner.
Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa ......
There are only fifty people, but the movement of military boots on the ground is quite shocking, just because they are working hard under their feet, and every step is still at a point.
The first 100 meters, control the speed, save the body, and don't need to be too fast.
Another 100 meters, wow! Speed up a little......
"The officers and soldiers are coming!"
On the bandits' side, there was immediately chaos, and they thought that the big thing had been decided, but they saw a group of officers and soldiers lined up in ten columns, occupying the main road, and quickly approaching this side.
Ten columns vertically and five rows horizontally, advancing in this way, it seems that there are more people and the oppressive force is stronger.
However, some bandit leaders sat on high horses and had good eyesight, and immediately shouted: "Don't be afraid, there are only dozens of people, just looking for death! Kill them all!"
"Kill!"
As for the officers and soldiers, the bandits are still a little worried in their hearts, and they are weak in their hearts. Therefore, shouting and gathering, I can't care about robbing property for the time being.
But they have no formation at all, let alone a battle formation to speak of, and they are chaotic and leaning together and gathering together, which is called a rabble, a plate of scattered sand.
Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa ......
Fifty officers and men continued to approach, and the distance was only two hundred meters, and the spears of the first three rows were still raised diagonally to the sky, and were not flattened.
"Ho! Ho ......"
The rhythm of the trumpet intensified, and the sense of oppression gradually increased.
The few bandit leaders on the opposite side had changed their original contemptuous attitude, and they clearly felt that this group of officers and soldiers was completely different, and that a mere few dozen people had a powerful momentum of thousands of troops and horses moving forward.
Delusion?
Guangling territory, where did this kind of elite soldier come from?
The bandit leaders were all surprised, and the minions below were even more panicked: No, this momentum is not like dozens of people at all, and it is impossible for officers and soldiers to rush over stupidly to send them to death, is there still an ambush? Aren't we in a trick?
Ho Ho ......
The first three rows of spears are laid flat, and thirty spears can also form a wall of spears.
"Kill!"
Finally, when the officers and soldiers shouted in unison, although there were few people, they were completely unanimous, and it was enough to shake the sky.
The archers in the back two rows slowed down slightly, loaded the arrow, drew the bow, and could fire while running, a hand that had been practiced countless times.
You don't need to be precise, you just need to shoot into a pile!
