Lao Ansan.

Although it is a mountain, the actual altitude is not high, but in the recent rainy season, the muddy mountain road has brought a lot of difficulties to the Qijun mountaineering.

"The terrain of Lao Anshan is flat, let the soldiers be careful of traps, the shield hand is in front, and the gun hand is in good spirits."

Chen Mu did not sit firmly in the Chinese army, he, Deng Zilong, and Sun Ao each led a group of men and horses, and divided their troops from the two mountain roads of Qijiang Mountain Road and Huangliangdu, so as to reduce casualties.

Even so, as the small flag in the front, it was impossible to see the human figure, and the small flag in the back had already opened a distance of hundreds of steps, and there was no sound in the quiet forests on both sides, this atmosphere was enough to make its new soldiers tremble, and only a thick military formation could bring them a sense of security to persevere.

Chen Mu didn't feel this way.

As a leading general, he may be able to reach the qualified line of the Cold Weapon Era, but the battle formations he has experienced in the past year or so, the bandits, the Japanese bandits, and the rebels' previous battles have allowed him to see all the enemies that may be encountered on the southeast coast of this era except for the Yi people.

It's an old fritter.

There was no suitable place for ambush within a few hundred steps. ’

Chen Mu said to himself in his heart, squinting his eyes and looking at the mountainside in the distance, the mountain road turned around and climbed in the forest, that position was very suitable for attacking the mountain army with a bird salvo.

"Order Fu Yuan, tell him to be careful there, and the soldiers will come with me."

Chen Mu led three hundred households, and he was still his most powerful subordinate, Shi Qi, Fu Yuan, Lou Qimai, although the most brave and capable Shao Tingda was not there, but they still had an absolute advantage in troops, and they were not worried about it.

Wei Balang also followed Chen Mu's side, and now only Chen Mu and a few hundred households are left who are called Balang by thousands of households, and in the eyes of others, this half-grown man holds the power of the flag army, and they all call him the little eighth master.

When Xiao Hachilang heard Chen Mu's words, he tilted his head, and ordered the flag army to come out from the side of the road, and ran forward to pass the order, and then Long Junxiong led twenty soldiers to follow Chen Mu and rushed forward a few steps.

"Hold the strings of the bird's gun, hold it firmly, and pay attention to the mountain road ahead."

Each of the hundred households had two separate small flags, and the fireropes they were now wrapped around their arms had been lit, and they were carrying the long and short guns loaded with medicine in front of them.

Chen Mu's own soldiers are stronger than them, they are all veterans who have followed from Beishan, and they have all the Guan clan's flint haircrackers in their hands, and Long Junxiong and Qi Zhengyan still have handcuffs on their waists like Chen Mu, just in case of emergency.

At the sound of an order, the soldiers prepared their short guns, held their chests obliquely, and were ready to attack.

In this case, there is no need to worry about startling the snake, in fact, the best way to deal with it is to encounter a place of unpredictability, and directly pull out the soldiers to shoot a salvo to seize the opportunity.

However, because the three mountain roads attacked the mountain at the same time, Chen Mu was worried that the sound of the bird's salvo would bring misjudgment to the other two soldiers, so he could only act cautiously.

Fu Yuan received the order, and the 100 banner troops in front were cautiously divided into two groups, and the two small flags were mobilized to the back, and the shield hand protected the sword spearman first.

Although Fu Yuan did not have any outstanding performance on the battlefield, he never dropped the chain, and this time he directly left the two flags and handed them over to Chen Mu to lead, and he carried the knife and spearman forward, in order to quickly cross this dangerous mountain road.

Just when Fu Yuan's subordinate banner army was about to walk around the corner, a sudden change occurred!

The shouts of killing suddenly sounded from the mountain road they couldn't see on the other side, followed by a loud sound that shook the world and the earth, mixed with a shout that Chen Mu couldn't hear clearly—it was the sound of gunpowder exploding!

"Not good, the enemy is on the other side?"

As soon as this idea came to Chen Mu's mind, he saw several shield-wielding thieves jumping out of the corner of the mountain road, and knocked the two banner soldiers of Fu Yuan's subordinates who walked in the front head-on down the mountain road, and then jumped out of several thieves with Japanese knives, using the Han knife method to slash out indiscriminately, some slashed the flag army, and some were stabbed over by spears.

The engagement took place in an instant, almost subconsciously, Chen Mu raised his gun and shot, shouting in his mouth: "Raise the gun, release the gun!" ”

He was not fighting the place where he was engaged with the front army, but in the woods at the corner of the mountain road in front of him.

He had been paying attention to the woodland for too long, and at the beginning of the hand-to-hand encounter, his thoughts raced in circles in his mind, whether there were ambushes or not, let go of the guns first.

Syllable!

At the same time as Chen Mu struck, the enemy soldiers drank violently on the mountain road.

"Rush over, blow up the other two mountain roads, and kill them from here!" I could only hear the human voice, but I couldn't see the speaker's appearance because of the mountain wall, "Crossbowman, release the arrow!" ”

There was a stir in the forest, and several figures poured out of it, the ambush location chosen by the leader of the thieves was very suitable, and the arrows fired from the place in the forest that were higher than the road where Chen Mujun was traveling could envelop the rain of arrows thrown over the strength of a hundred households.

But the ambushed crossbowmen did not pour out because of orders.

It was because at the same time as the thief leader gave the order, the twenty soldiers holding the Guan's short guns obeyed Chen Mu's order, raised their guns and fired a volley, and there was a crisp sound on the mountain road like bursting beans.

In the smoke of gunpowder, the two small flags also raised their guns to fire, but even if they were trained enough by Shi Qi, they still could not avoid the nervousness brought by the first battle, and there were two or three guns that failed to fire, and the after-guns fired a salvo in sequence, and the sound was a little chaotic.

Two volleys hit the past, several thieves were shot and rolled down from the side of the mountain road, and the remaining few people opened their bows and arrows, and the arrows shot towards this side, shooting into the smoke with a screaming wind, whether there were casualties Chen Mu didn't know.

All he could hear was the clink of arrows hitting the ground.

"Hold the gun, charge!"

Chen Mu gave orders to his subordinates while loading the short gun in his hand, and did not forget to turn his head and shout: "Shiqi, little flag arrow!" ”

There is no need for Chen Mu to remind him, Shi Qi is the fastest in the earliest few small flags, and his flag army followed behind Chen Mu, and shouted at the first moment of battle for the four flag soldiers to rush forward with small flag arrows to support.

"Light the fire, put it!"

Two small flag arrows dragged into the forest with a scream, exploded two clouds of gunsmoke, and the small lead pellets exploded into a piece, and suddenly screams and screams gathered in one place, and someone covered his face and stumbled out of the forest, stumbled down the mountain road, and was stabbed to death by the flag saber spearman.

The banner army gathered on the mountain road behind had long been frightened, and the enemy who suddenly fell would be cut into pulp regardless of whether he was dead or alive.

After the small flag arrow was released, there were no more arrows flying out of the forest, Chen Mu estimated that even if there was still a living mouth, he still ordered the bird gunner: "Raise the gun, shoot a salvo into the forest!" ”

rushed forward a few steps with the family soldiers, and saw Fu Yuan's banner army rushing forward, and after turning the corner, Fu Yuan shouted: "Rush over and slaughter this group of birdmen!" Rush over, rush over! ”

When Fu Yuan's banner army passed by, when Chen Mu led the troops through this mountain road, corpses were lying in wait at the corner of the mountain road two or three steps wide.

After the crossbowmen were defeated, they left more than two dozen corpses and fought and retreated, Wei Balang countered with a spear to make up for the fatal blow to the dying enemy on the ground, and the banner army behind hurriedly carried the wounded flag army down the mountain.

They had an absolute advantage in this battle, allowing the banner army to deal with the changes in the situation of the battle in a good time.

When he walked past Wei Balang, Chen Mu turned his head and said, "Remember to remind me when you go down the mountain, military doctor." ”
