Chapter 24 Sprinkling Silver
Perhaps something has changed. The number of local thieves is slightly higher than Li Dan estimates, but there are only twenty or thirty more people.
Xu Laoyao's subordinates were all old thieves who had been through battle formations. Their combat power was much stronger than that of the flag army. Most of them had leather armor protection and rushed to fight. Fu Yuan's troops suffered greater casualties than them.
If it was an ordinary battle between hundreds of households, the battle would have been lost; if it was a past Thousand Houses, it would not be able to stop such an enemy.
But his opponent was Chen Mu, who already belonged to the ancient warfare.
Fu Yuan's headquarters carried down the mountain and was seriously injured, with twenty-two corpses, and only sixteen corpses belonging to local thieves on the ground.
But so what?
Bird guns were launched in three rounds, and two small flag arrows exploded in the forest, killing twenty-four crossbow ambushers hidden in the forest.
Not to mention the other two mountain roads, there are 600 troops led by Deng Zilong and Sun Ao, even if it is just Chen Mu's three hundred families, what will Xu Laoyao block it?
Even the new soldiers who have only been trained for three months are much better than the old soldiers in Qianhuoyuan who were slackened and declining in the past!
When Chen Mu led his troops to attack the mountain, a raging fire had already ignited from the village belonging to Xu Laoyao. Fu Yuan garrisoned the outside of the army and scratched his head.
"Thousands of households, there are thirty-four local thieves left. They burned the village and hid inside." Fu Yuan had no choice but to have his subordinates' casualties made him angry, "I can't get in!"
Chen Mu didn't say anything, waited and looked through the situation.
The village is not big, with more than 30 houses, including thatched huts and wooden houses, and stone houses, especially the large stone house in the middle, which should be the place where the thieves hide as Fu Yuan said. The stone courtyard is not afraid of fire, so they burned the thatched huts outside to delay the invasion of the government army.
The stone courtyard has only one entrance, and can be locked with two knives. If the attack is a powerful person, it will probably cause great casualties.
"Little Flag Arrow, Him."
Chen Mu felt that they needed grenades and needed to go back and discuss with Guan Yuangu.
This time he didn't ask Wei Balang to record the paper, so he simply tore off the cloth, wrote down the military doctor and grenades with the soil, and asked Fu Yuan to take five small flag arrows, "Prepare to rush to the door!"
The front row of the Guanzun team stood in the back row, raising the gun toward the door. In front of them was a small flag holding five small flags and arrows and torches aimed at the door. Another small flag under Fu Yuan's army was standing with a knife and a conflicting sign on the left and right sides of the gate. Another small flag held the burning pillar in front and crashed into the thick wooden door.
Bang!
"The gunman spearman, surrounded, and anyone who escapes will be killed!"
After all this, Chen Mu took the short gun and shouted into the door: "Xu Laoyao! Come out and surrender now, go to the government to wait for the deceased, Chen will not kill you!"
"Come on, my silly cock in the ward. I'm not afraid of you!"
As soon as he shouted, a response came from the door. Just like the owner who had previously been at the corner of the mountain road, it was obvious that the person who led the thief to force himself to rush down the mountain was the thief leader Xu Laoyao. He cursed and shouted loudly: "I have a cannon behind the door, so if you don't want to survive, you will bump into it!"
Any cannons?
"Stop hitting!"
Chen Mu didn't know if there were really cannons inside, but he didn't want to try it. He waved his hand and called a few flag soldiers holding small flag arrows to come over and whispered to them: "Put the small flag arrows onto the wall and put them down."
"Down after putting it off, don't show your head, they may have guns."
The courtyard walls of Shizhai are not low and occupy a large area, but they are definitely not enough to let small flag arrows run around the ground. No one can tell where they will explode if they are put in like this, and they will jump out if they are not done properly.
"Don't think that it would be great if there were hundreds of flag troops. If I were on the sea, I would kill you bastards!" Xu Laoyao kept shouting, mixed with his orders to his subordinates, "Take it, throw it out, throw it out!"
Hearing this, Chen Mu immediately opened his hand to let the flag army scatter. What else could it be except throwing weapons at this time? He didn't know that before the flag army scattered, dozens of stones were smashed out.
Chen Mu looked closely at what was thrown in the stone yard, which was clearly a ingot of silver and a piece of copper coins spilled out!
"Don't pick it up!"
At the same time, accompanied by the sneering sound of the fire, five small flag arrows lit from the courtyard wall. Several flag soldiers threw them into the courtyard. In a blink of an eye, the screams were heard in the courtyard, and the local thieves shouted in panic.
The flag army had never seen the silver that had been in ingots. No matter how much Chen Mu shouted, he would not be able to control all the flag army's thoughts under his subordinates. There were flag soldiers in chaos to pick up money and silver. Then Chen Mu didn't need to hit the gate of the courtyard, so he opened it himself.
A group of local thieves roared out from inside the door with swords and spears.
What greeted them was the Qianhusuo Banner Army of Xiangshan, which was chaotic because the silver treasures were thrown all over the ground.
It's like a tiger coming out of the gate and a dragon going out of the sea.
This is the most elite thief, some wearing leather armor, some wearing iron armor, and everyone wearing iron helmets.
The chaotic guards in front of them were so vulnerable that the mere temptation of silver and money made them mess up, which further encouraged the arrogant arrogance of the local thieves.
This momentum lasts for about two seconds.
Bang, bang, bang!
The small flag arrows exploded in the yard, and hundreds of small lead balls splashed in the yard. This kind of small thing is not very lethal. It loses its ability to penetrate armor pieces after more than five steps. If it is ten steps away, it may not even be able to penetrate leather armor.
But they are too dense.
As long as the hit places are not protected by armor, the summer shirt is not enough to protect it, not to mention that the most fragile face is exposed.
Only two or three lead balls as big as a tail finger cover are needed, which is enough to make the strong and fierce man lose his combat power.
A rocket happened to explode behind the thief.
Blood flowers and lead pills are splashed together.
The sound of the dense lead ball hitting the armor was extremely pleasant. Chen Mu heard Fu Yuan shouting: "Rise the spear and stab!"
A small flag guarding the door was not messy, and they were too far away from the money they threw out. At this time, the thieves rushed out from behind the door. It was when the six gods were in power. When Fu Baihu heard Fu Baihu shouting, several spears were enough to stab them out.
One stab is accurate.
"Speed the gun!"
Chen Mu stood behind the family soldiers and was a distance from the gate. Other flag troops could be in chaos, but his family soldiers were all old soldiers who had experienced battle formations and would not be deceived by this little trick. The two rows of Guan's guns in front and behind were released towards the thieves at the door as ordered.
Bang bang, bang bang bang!
The aggressive thief was stunned by the sound of arrows and guns in front of him, not to mention that there were swords and spears on his side. He rushed out less than two steps. The one behind was injured by the blow, and the one in front was killed. In a blink of an eye, the person lying down was almost the same, and the few remaining thieves were still resisting stubbornly.
"What are you doing while standing there? Rush in and kill someone!"
With Chen Mu's order, the surrounding flag troops woke up as if they were dreaming. Qi Zheng Yan Longjunxiong had already drawn his sword and jumped out to fight. Then many flag troops rushed into the door. In just a moment of fighting, Fu Yuan's shout came: "Where is Xu Laoyao!"
Hearing this, Chen Mu knew that they had won.
Not long after, Fu Yuan pulled out the man who was stained with blood on the ground like a dead dog, and held a knife and grinned at Chen Mu, "Qianhu, caught it, Xu Laoyao!"
Xu Laoyao couldn't live long, but his neck was blurred by lead balls, and his hands and feet were not in control. He could only roll his eyes and his mouth twitched and said something, but he couldn't hear clearly.
Chen Mu was so uncomfortable for him. He carried the pistol and leaned over and listened to what he said. He saw Xu Laoyao's expression and said something angrily. Chen Mu was unmoved and raised the pistol and approached it.
"knew."
