Chapter 18 Robbing the Rich

What Yu Wu was most worried about was that the "rich man" would flee to Ninghua or even farther. Qingliu is a poor county, although it can provide a large number of incense people, but the large households that can grab it are really limited.

Master said that this move would take control of Tingzhou in advance, and then seize the whole of Fujian.

But to achieve this grand goal, it will take a lot of silver. They had prepared some weapons, food, and grass in advance, but they were only enough for a few hundred people. The White Lotus Sect has never been short of people, and if there is silver, there will be swords, guns, bows, and guns, and it will soon be able to arm a team of tens of thousands of people.

The position of the emperor in Fuzhou Mansion may be occupied by the master and his old man, and he will be a prince himself.

If you can find tens of thousands of taels of silver from the "rich man" this time, a big thing can be done!

For the sake of insurance, he also specially sent 20 people to ride fast horses to ambush on the road to Ningyuan, and if they encountered "rich people", they would be entangled to death, and then they would be killed by a large team.

In fact, if it weren't for Wang Gu's repeated remarks that the "rich" family was brave, he would have planned to leave these incense people on foot and rush up with dozens of horses to rob them.

By close to dawn, they finally arrived at the place where Wang Gu and the others met Su Chengyu.

Zhao Hei turned over and dismounted, when he escaped last night, his horse was tired before he got out of the woods, he ran all the way back to Qingliu with his legs, he was almost not tired and fainted on the road, and he hated it in his heart for "sneaking attack" his convoy halfway!

He searched almost on his stomach on the ground, and soon shouted excitedly, "Here! The rut prints are here! ”

Yu Wu has been on the battlefield and fought with the official army, and he has participated with his master when he was making trouble in Henan and Guangdong, and he has rich experience.

When he heard that he had found the rut, he immediately ordered the fire torch to be extinguished, first sent two horses to explore the way, and then spread the team, and the disciples of the White Lotus Sect restrained the incense people and ran along the rut in pursuit.

After chasing seven or eight miles, the horses reported that six carriages were parked on the riverside a few miles away, and there were many bonfires and torches around. They were afraid of startling the snakes, so they did not come close to investigate.

Yu Wu was overjoyed and hurriedly urged his subordinates to speed up.

When he saw the carriage by the river from a distance, it was estimated that there was still a distance of one hundred and twenty or thirty steps, and he was stopped by Wang Guyi, "Senior brother, don't get any closer, they are so hot." ”

Yu Wu obeyed the admonition, ordered the arrow to be loaded, and then gave an order, and the disciples drove the incense people to rush out with a loud noise.

However, the fierce resistance they expected did not appear at all, and they rushed to about twenty steps in front of the carriage, and Yu Wucai saw clearly through the nearby bonfire that there was no one around the carriage at all!

He felt a pang in his heart, and immediately thought that he was ambushed, and shouted loudly to stop all the disciples and incense people, and bowed outwards to be on guard.

"Silver!" Suddenly, there was an exclamation from the carriage. It turned out that there were fast incense people who had rushed to the carriage and looked in through the window, "Piles of silver!" ”

Those incense people are simply a group of superstitious rabble, and when they hear that there is silver, they can still hold on to it, and they hula and surround them. Yu Wu hurriedly ordered the disciples to strictly restrain them, so that the people did not dismantle the carriage.

He asked Wang Gu to be in charge of guarding, and he brought a few people to the carriage to confirm that there was no one around, and then he looked into the carriage, only to see a large pile of silver ingots mixed with scattered clothes, books and other luggage, at first glance there could be thousands of taels! There was also a silver chest half-buried in the pile.

Although Yu Wu didn't expect what happened, it was obvious that it was fallen when the "rich man" fled in a hurry.

He took a few steps back and asked his men to open the door, but there was no conspiracy.

He stepped forward, reached out and picked up a piece of silver, and grinned, "Damn*, it's here!" Someone, bring me money! ”

He jumped into the carriage and was about to reach for the silver box on the floor when he heard a click, and the wooden frame supporting the two-wheeled carriage broke. The whole car tilted towards him, the wheels lifted high, and the three strings tied to the wheels were jerked tight.

The last thing Yu Wu heard was a few soft clicks from the carriage next to him, and then three huge fireballs sandwiched him in the middle, and he didn't have a chance to know what happened next.

Wang Guzheng shouted, "Be vigilant, when you see someone approaching, you will release arrows, and when you go back, you will ......" When he heard several loud noises behind him, the dim dawn was reflected clearly.

Everyone turned around in an instant, and a few of them didn't hold their hands and threw their guns at the carriage.

Wang Gu was dumbfounded for a moment - Yu Wu, who was still in high spirits just now to get the silver, was gone, and the dozen or so White Lotus Sect disciples who listened to him to move the silver were blown up and had already lost their lives.

In addition, the thirty or forty men closest to the carriage were also covered in blood, and lay on the ground screaming.

Before his eyes, the upper halves of three carriages had disappeared, and the plates and wheels had been blown black.

Su Chengyu heard a loud noise and immediately waved his hand, "Go!" ”

Shi Lin rushed out with the guards who had been prepared for a long time from behind the mound on the south side of the carriage and followed Su Chengyu.

Zhu Linmi, as the son of the world, knows how to ride horses, and Su Chengyu inherited his knowledge of horseback riding, but his physical skills are very unskilled. After yesterday's assault training, he can basically run on a ride now, but he is still very jerky.

Su Chengyu gathered all the fifty-seven horses together, and when they rushed to a distance of two hundred steps away from the rebels, the White Lotus Sect members who were buzzing in their ears by the explosion still didn't hear the sound of horses' hooves.

Wang Gu was the one who had seen a big scene in the end, and he was the first to wake up from the sudden shock, and when he turned his head, he saw a row of cavalry rushing straight from the side and rear.

He yelled desperately, but to no avail, and jumped in front of the disciples again, shouting and gesturing, which made his people notice the group of people rushing over.

Wang Gu hurriedly organized a counterattack, he had clearly seen that there were only fifty or sixty horsemen on the opposite side, and there were four hundred people on his side, as long as he stabilized, he would definitely win. Now that Yu Wu is dead, snatching back the silver is his first achievement!

For a while, guns and arrows were fired together, but the distance was too far to reach Shi Lin and the others.

As a marksman, Shi Lin had an extremely accurate grasp of the distance, and when he was a hundred steps away from the chaotic people, he immediately stopped his horse in the way Su Chengyu asked them to practice yesterday.

Su Chengyu loudly ordered all the guards to dismount and raise their guns and open fire! He was not a good rider himself, so he sat on his horse so that he could command at any time.

Hundreds of people stood on the opposite side, and there were always unlucky ones who ate lead bullets, and suddenly seven or eight people howled and overturned.

Su Chengyu took a long time here, reloading, raising his gun, and firing. Soon, many more members of the White Lotus Sect fell in response. It's just that the guards, as in the tradition of the Ming army, have no concept of firing salvos at will, otherwise the killing effect will definitely be much better.

Yesterday, Su Chengyu also tried to let them shoot a volley, but this is not something that can be practiced for a while, and now they can only fight like this first.

Wang Gu finally reacted - this gun from his own can't reach others, and others can beat him!

He hurriedly asked the disciples of the White Lotus Sect to drive the incense people to rush forward, and suddenly the shouts of killing rang out.
