Lao'anshan.

Although it is a mountain, its actual altitude is not high. However, in the recent rainy season, the muddy mountain roads have brought many difficulties to the flag army climbing.

"The terrain of Lao Anshan is flat, so the soldiers are careful of traps, the shield hands are in front of them, and the gunners are cheering up."

Chen Mu did not firmly sit in the central army. He, Deng Zilong and Sun Ao each led a group of troops and advanced from the two mountain roads of Qijiangshan Road and Huangliangdu to reduce casualties.

Even so, as the small flag in the front formation walked quickly and could not see the figure. The small flag in the back formation had already stretched hundreds of steps away, and there was no sound in the quiet forest on both sides. This atmosphere was enough to make the new soldiers under the banner tremble. Only the thick military formation could give them a sense of persistence.

Chen Mu didn't feel this way.

As a leading general, he may have reached the qualification line in the era of cold weapons, but the battle formations he experienced over the past year, bandits, Japanese pirates, and rebels, which he had experienced over the past year, have allowed him to see all the enemies he might encounter in the southeast coast of this era except for the barbarians.

He's considered an old fry.

‘In hundreds of steps, there is no suitable place to set up an ambush.’

Chen Mu said to himself in his heart, narrowed his eyes and looked at the distant mountainside. The mountain road turned around and climbed in the forest. That position was very suitable for attacking the mountain army with bird guns.

"Tell Fu Yuan to be careful of wherever he is, and the personal soldiers come with me."

Chen Mu led three hundred households and was still the most capable subordinate he used. Shi Qi, Fu Yuan, Lou Qimai. Although the bravest and most powerful Shao Tingda was not there, they still had an absolute advantage in military strength and were not worried about it.

The assistant Wei Balang also followed Chen Mu. Now the only ones called Hachiro by Qianhu are Chen Mu and a few hundred households. In the eyes of others, this half-boy holds all the power of the flag army and calls him Xiaobaye.

When Kobaro heard Chen Mu's words, he turned his head and sent a command to the flag army out of the way, running forward to send orders. Then Long Junxiong led twenty soldiers to follow Chen Mu and rushed forward a few steps.

"The bird gun is loaded and held it firmly, pay attention to the mountain road ahead."

Each hundred households have two separate small bird gun flags. The fuses wrapped around their arms are now lit, carrying long and short guns with medicines installed on them.

Chen Mu's personal soldiers were stronger than them. They were all old soldiers who followed from Beishan. They were all Guan's flint-locked guns on their hands. Long Junxiong and Qi Zhengyan were wearing hand guns like Chen Mu, in case of emergency.

With a command, the family soldiers prepared a short gun, held their chests diagonally, and were ready to go.

There is no need to worry about alerting the enemy in this situation. In fact, the best way to deal with it is to encounter unpredictable places and directly pull out the monks and shoot one gun to grab the initiative.

However, because three mountain roads attacked the mountain at the same time, Chen Mu was worried that the sound of the bird guns would cause misjudgment to the other two groups of soldiers, so he could only do it with caution.

Fu Yuan received the order, and the hundred-house flag troops in front were carefully divided into two batches. Two small bird gun flags were mobilized to the back, and the shield hand protected the sword spear hand first.

Although Fu Yuan had never performed well on the battlefield, he had never lost his chain. This time he even left two flags of bird gunners and handed them to Chen Mu to lead him. He posed for the sword and spearman and moved forward quickly in order to quickly pass through this dangerous mountain road.

Just as Fu Yuan's subordinate flag army was about to pass the turn, a sudden change occurred!

The shouts of killing suddenly sounded from the mountain road they could not see on the other side, followed by a loud noise that shook the sky and the earth, mixed with Chen Mu's inaudible screams - it was the sound of gunpowder explosion!

"No, the enemy is on the other side?"

As soon as Chen Mu had this idea came to his mind, several shield-holding thieves jumped out from the corner of the mountain road, knocking Fu Yuan's two flag soldiers who were walking in front down the mountain road. Then several local thieves with Japanese swords jumped out, using the Han sword techniques, slashing them out randomly. Some chopped the flag soldiers, and some were stabbed by spears.

The battle took place in an instant, almost subconsciously, Chen Mu raised his gun and shot, shouting: "Rise the gun, fire the gun!"

What he fought was not the place where he fought with the front army, but the forest at the corner of the mountain road ahead.

He had been paying attention to the woodland for too long. At the beginning of the close contact, his thoughts quickly turned around in his mind. Regardless of whether there were ambushes or not, he would fire the gun first.

Bang!

Just as Chen Mu hit the gun, the enemy shouted loudly from the mountain road.

"Roar over, two other mountain roads exploded, and fight out from here!" Only people could hear the voices, but they could not see the speaker because of the blocking of the mountain wall. "Boundist, shoot arrows!"

The forest moved, and several figures fell out of it. The ambush site chosen by the thief leader was very suitable. The shooting arrows from the place higher than Chen Mujun's road in the forest could cover the rain of thrown arrows.

But the ambushed crossbowman did not pour out because of an order.

It was because while the thief head gave the order, twenty soldiers holding Guan's short gun followed Chen Mu's orders and raised their guns to shoot in a row. When they climbed the mountain road, they were as crisp as beans.

The smoke of gunfire was filled with guns, and the two small flags of bird gunmen also raised their guns to fire. However, even if they were trained by Shiqi, they still could not avoid the tension caused by the first battle. Two or three guns failed to fire, and the remaining guns were fired in succession, and the sound was a little messy.

Two volleys shot over, and several thieves were shot and rolled down from the mountain road. The remaining few people drew their bows and arrows, and sparse arrows shot towards this side, shooting into the smoke with a sharp sound of wind. Chen Mu didn't know whether there were any casualties.

He could only hear the sound of arrows piercing into the ground.

"Hold the gun and load the medicine!"

Chen Mubian issued an order to his subordinates while loading a short gun in his hand. He turned his head and shouted, "Shiqi, small flag arrow!"

Without Chen Mu's reminder, Shi Qi was the happiest among the earliest small flags. His flag army followed Chen Mu, and immediately shouted that the four flag army would rush forward with small flag arrows to support him.

"Light up, let it go!"

Two small flag arrows with a sturdy roar into the forest, exploded with two balls of smoke, and the small lead balls burst into pieces, suddenly screamed, screams gathered together, someone covered his face and stumbled out of the forest, fell down the mountain road, and was rushed up by the flag sabre spearman and stabbed to death.

The flag army gathered on the mountain road behind had been scared long ago. The sudden fall of enemies would be cut into flesh paste no matter how alive or dead.

After the small flag arrow was released, no more arrows flew out in the forest. Chen Mu probably ran away even if he had a living mouth. In order to ensure that he ordered the bird gunman: "Rise the gun and shoot it in the forest!"

He rushed forward with his family soldiers a few steps, and saw Fu Yuan's flag army suddenly advance. After turning, Fu Yuan shouted loudly: "Roar over, slaughter these birds! Rush over, rush over!"

When Fu Yuan's flag troops passed by one after another, Chen Mu led his troops through this mountain road, corpses were buried everywhere around the corner of the mountain road, which was two or three steps wide.

After the thief crossbowmen were defeated, they left more than twenty bodies and fought and retreated. Wei Balang used a long spear to make a fatal blow to the dying enemy on the ground. The flag army behind hurriedly carried the injured flag army down the mountain.

They had an absolute advantage in this battle, allowing the flag army to deal with changes in the battle situation with leisure.
