"The rebels carry heavy carts, they don't go faster than us, and you can catch up with them by following the rut marks!"

Forty or fifty people pushed more than a dozen carts loaded with a large amount of property in Li Tao's mouth, and the ruts of horses' hooves and the messy footprints were simply too obvious among the mountain roads.

These rebels without a backbone are not as good as the bandits in Black Ridge, at least the seasoned bandits know how to cover their whereabouts, but they don't know.

After chasing the rutted footprints for more than half an hour, what really made Chen Mujun discover their traces was the shouting and killing from the forest - this group of rebels who carried a lot of property and lost their leader were infighting, more than 50 people were divided into four to fight to death, and there were seven or eight people sitting on the mountain watching the tiger fight.

Chen Mu, who arrived from afar, didn't say a word when he saw this scene, and rushed over first, approaching thirty or fifty paces to catch the fighting rebels off guard, "Raise the gun!" Put! ”

The fire rope has long been plugged, and the lead pill has long been placed, this is about the most refreshing time that Chen Mu's bird guns have been put in place so far, more than a dozen bird guns are in unison at the enemy's thirty or forty paces, and the longbowmen are also shooting arrows at this distance.

The lead pellet feather arrow fell to the ground in the blink of an eye, and he screamed miserably.

With this kind of distance, this kind of enemy, and this kind of quantity, there is no need for the three-stage rotation of the Bird Gun Team, and the longbowmen take turns to shoot, and taking the lead in killing and injuring the enemy's vital force to the greatest extent is Chen Mu's only idea.

Bang! Bang bang!

A dozen bird salvos were fired in this kind of battle with only half a hundred troops on both sides, and a handful of feather arrows in the smoke of gunpowder shot vigorously, knocking down several rebels first, followed by several rebels who were wounded by stray arrows and screaming miserably.

"What's going on, where are the officers and soldiers!"

The rebels were not counted in the internal strife, but there were only more than 30 wounded, and before they could react to when this army had caught up with them, they were killed and wounded.

Of course, the two sword-wielding general flag guards are indispensable.

Chen Mu had just taken two steps forward with his knife, when he heard Shao Tingda in front of him shouting in a familiar voice, 'Those who descend will not be killed', the rhythm of this battle was so fast that he, the leading officer, couldn't react, and almost tripped over the footsteps that stopped urgently.

Simply dragged Wei Balang's neck collar to his side, stood in the lead with a knife, looked at the one-sided battle not far away, turned his face sideways and enjoyed the reverence from the people.

Li Juren was rushing up with a big sword and spear, and just rushed to a distance of about ten steps away from Chen Junye, when there was a sound of 'ping pong' in the forest - the rebels only had seven alive, and they dropped their weapons and knelt on the ground to beg for mercy.

No, it's eight, and one of the rebels is fleeing deep into the forest, and then there is a bang behind him.

Bang!

The figure who fled in a panic froze and slowly fell to the ground, and now there were seven living mouths.

Shi Qi used the recoil to retract the bird gun to the ground, turned back to Chen Mu and said loudly: "General Banner, we won, there are no casualties!" ”

From the time he unleashed the first shot to the time he filled the pill and stuffed it into the projectile, killing the last rebel standing, the battle lasted for thirty breaths.

Li Tao was caught by the rebels and walked a hundred and ten miles, and in half a month, he watched the rebels kill in all directions, attacking and destroying the station, and he had always seen the rebels surging and the guards fled in the wind.

Don't say that the Xiangyong are all stunned, the flag army has played such a record, Chen Mu is a little floating in his heart.

Chen Junye, who took advantage of the favorable time, place and people, and fought hard and bloody battles everywhere since he joined the exchanges of this era, finally led his troops to fight a battle and raise his spirit!

Shao Tingda led the flag army to quickly tie up the seven surrendered rebels, Chen Mu put the knife into the sheath, took a step to scan the left and right, and said with a smile: "Digging a pit to bury wealth, infighting and fighting, you are unevenly distributing the spoils!" ”

More than a dozen oxen and horse-drawn carts unloaded the wooden boxes beside them, and most of the deep pit was dug out, and there were several boxes half-buried in the pit, and the scrolls, silk, and copper coins were scattered all over the ground, plus the corpses that were all over the place—no need to ask, Chen Mu already knew what had happened to them.

Several rebels were tied up and still kowtowed and begged for mercy, but Chen Mu ignored it, assigned each flag to count the goods, and smiled at Li Tao: "Li Juren don't hold a knife, don't be tired, take the people to see if there is less money, if there is no problem, we will rush back to the military village." ”

"The sun goes down, and I'll go back just in time for dinner."

Li Tao was still a little stunned when he answered, but it didn't last long, so he got up and took a cursory look at the wooden box with him, found a few important things, and just looked at the others casually, and drove the oxen and carriage back with Chen Mu and others.

For Li Tao, the important thing is the proof of his identity, and the twenty taels of silver given by the master when he met the master when he was lifting people in the examination, without which he would not be able to enter Beijing to catch the exam.

As far as the people are concerned, what they value is the money they have when they fled the city, and more importantly, the house deed in their bags, Heyuan County has long been destroyed, and it will take more than half a year to rebuild, if you don't get these things right, you will be homeless.

packed up his things, drove the cattle and horses all the way back to the military village, and was intercepted by Bai Yuanjie on the way, "Chen Zongqi, hurry up and go back, Yu Zongbing sent an order, saying that the war has been decided, and we will be transferred to escort the people and prisoners, and thousands of households are waiting for you." ”

When Chen Mu went back, Bai Yuanjie had a very happy conversation with the officials sent by Yu Dayou to remember the merits, and they happened to meet at the gate of the military village, and the officials who recorded the merits also bowed their hands to Chen Mu, and said with a smile: "This is Mr. Chen, the lower officials heard from Mr. Yu that the telescope strange thing is from your hands, and many meritorious deeds have been made in this battle, and the lower officials are polite!" ”

After sending off the meritorious officials, Chen Mu smiled and whispered to Bai Yuanjie: "Qianhu, you have won a complete victory against the thieves, and none of your subordinates have been killed or injured." Indeed, the thieves had with them a great deal of riches, and they were with Li Juren and the people. ”

"Leave that alone, money is nothing more than something outside of you."

Bai Yuanjie waved his hand casually, pulled Chen Mu to the side and said: "Early tomorrow morning, we will march to the source of the river, escort the people on the way, don't cause any trouble, you should also recruit some family members, and choose among the homeless people." ”

"The person sent by General Yu said that the battle has been fought, and after doing this, we can go back to Qingyuan."

When he said this, Bai Yuanjie didn't see how happy he was, he just shook his head and said: "After half a year of training, I didn't ...... Don't talk about this, if Li Juren can go to high school in the coming year, it will be of great benefit to you in the future, and it will not hurt you to talk to him more. ”

"When the meritorious matter of going back is decided, Bai invites you to go to Guangcheng Yanguifang to have a drink and wash away the dust of this body!"
