Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

After the fleet left, Wu Shigong explained his worries to Xue Yongli and several guard leaders.Everyone discussed it, and unanimously decided that it is better to be careful.

So, as soon as they left Jining, they all put on armor in a field with few people.Of course, it's not the ring arm armor, but the leather armor.This time they went out with only leather armor.In addition, they also loaded the gunpowder and the handgun with gunpowder and bullets, and plugged the muzzle with a stopper.The spears were also brought to the back of the horse.

After being fully armed, they still put on the coats of merchants and men outside.Then set off back to Qianhusuo.

In this way, the carts are empty.Therefore, Wu Shigong and his group walked quickly.At dusk, it entered the ground of Guide Mansion.But unexpectedly, in front of the road, not only is there no sign saying "Henan people welcome you", but there is a strange thing instead.

About a hundred paces away, a convoy also dressed as a caravan blocked the road.A large vehicle in the convoy, probably with damaged axles and wheels, rolled over on the road, blocking the road tightly.Others in the convoy seemed to be helping, fixing the overturned cart.

Seeing this situation, Wu Shigong and the others reined in their horses and stopped.Wu Shigong wanted to arrange two guards to go to the caravan to see the situation.But at this moment, Zhang Biao and Li Sanhe squeezed in front of Wu Shigong's horse, and said to Wu Shigong: "My lord, the situation ahead is not right."

"How to say?" Wu Shigong immediately became vigilant after hearing what Zhang Biao and Li Sanhe said.

"My lord, there are fifty or sixty people in the caravan. If their cart breaks down, there will be someone to move the cart to the side of the road to repair it. It is impossible to block the road."

Wu Shigong understood immediately.He and Xue Yongli looked at each other and nodded.Xue Yongli immediately stuffed the whistle hanging around his neck into his mouth and blew it.

Hearing the whistle, the horse team's training some time ago showed results.The guards immediately lined up in a line of ten horses according to their own teams.

But at this time, Wu Shigong and his own big cart got in the way.So, under Xue Yongli's command, they retreated thirty or forty steps before forming up.

Xue Yongli divided the other guards into teams to observe and protect from the left, right and behind. He personally led the guards of the two teams to protect Wu Shigong and the empty horses carrying silver in the middle circle.

Then Xue Yongli gave an order: "Yongzi, Liuzi, lead your two teams to kill the thieves in front. Remember, don't chase too far."

After Xue Yong and Xue Qiang responded, they led their two teams, 20 people, and walked in the direction of the caravan.They went around the cart that Wu Shigong and the others had thrown down just now, picked up their spears, lined up and charged.

Just as Xue Yong and Xue Qiang were charging, there was a burst of gong beating on both sides of the road.With the sound of the gong, nearly 200 people sprang out from the fields on both sides of the road at a distance of [-] to [-] steps from Wu Shigong and the others, brandishing weapons and screaming to kill Wu Shigong and the others.At the back of Wu Shigong's road, someone also blocked Wu Shigong's retreat with a cart.

Wu Shigong cursed secretly in his heart: "Damn! There is an ambush in the middle. Now we have to fight."

The faces of all the guards are also very ugly.However, they had been training for a long time, and they didn't mess up their formation at this time. Under Xue Yongli's command, they all picked up their spears and prepared to fight.

However, these robbers were too close to Wu Shigong and the others.If there is a battle, Wu Shigong and his horses will not be able to run fast.Can't exert the greatest power of the cavalry.And there are more robbers.

Therefore, Wu Shigong made some calculations in his heart and thought: "It seems that this time I will lose a lot."

But at this moment, the robbers who were blocking the road ahead and disguised as a caravan suddenly let out a few screams: "They are all troops! They are troops!"

The screams stunned the robbers on both sides of the road, they stopped involuntarily, and looked at Wu Shigong and the others.When they found out that Wu Shigong and the others had assembled their cavalry and lined up, holding their spears, they were about to charge towards them.The robbers let out another strange cry, and then they all dropped their weapons and fled in all directions.

Seeing these robbers fleeing in all directions, the guards became emboldened.They lined up, let go of their horses, and chased after them.It was nothing short of a massacre.Facing the backs of the unarmed, fleeing men, the guards only needed a single touch with the point of their spears to kill them.

However, the guards did not dare to chase too far after all.The situation here is unfamiliar, and the sky is about to get dark.Therefore, under Xue Yongli's command, they chased for a certain distance and killed three to forty people.Finally, a big circle was formed, surrounding the leader of the robbers and a dozen people around him.

Wu Shigong never expected that this battle would be so easy.This level of tension and excitement was not even as good as the false alarm in the fog when he came to Guide last time.

Wu Shigong didn't know that the army was the natural enemy of robbers.At this time, it was not the time when the world was in chaos in the last years of Chongzhen, and the army was still very deterrent to the robbers who were mainly civilians.

Therefore, when these robbers found out that Wu Shigong and the others were the army, they instinctively felt scared.They all thought: Wu Shigong and the others were just a bait, and instead they fell into the anti-encirclement circle of the army.That's why they scattered and fled before fighting.

At this time, Xue Yong and Xue Qiang returned to Wu Shigong's side with their two teams.Just now, when Xue Yong and Xue Qiang were only halfway through their charge, all the robbers who disguised themselves as a caravan in front had escaped completely.The robbers didn't even have time to unhook the horses in their carts and lead them away.

Xue Yong and Xue Qiang didn't dare to disperse and go around the carts blocking the road to pursue them, so they came back without killing one of them.

After seeing them come back, Wu Shigong, who was very excited, asked Xue Yong and Xue Qiang to guard the empty horses laden with silver.He took the two teams of guarding Wu Shigong and Kong Ma and ran towards the encirclement.

The robbers were in the encirclement, looking at the guards around them in horror.It is estimated that as long as someone issues an order to surrender at this time, these robbers would have knelt down and begged for mercy.

Seeing Wu Shigong approaching, Xue Yongli smiled and asked Wu Shigong with a relaxed smile, "Master, how do we deal with these little thieves?"

"What else can I do? Kill them all." Wu Shigong replied lightly.

Wu Shigong was not interested in taking these robbers back to Qianhu, and Wu Shigong didn't have so much food to support them.Besides, these little thieves had to pay for scaring their Grandpa Wu.

Hearing Wu Shigong issued the killing order, the leader of the robbers was also very stubborn.He still held the knife in his hand.The leader led three or four people around him holding knives, and rushed towards Wu Shigong while screaming.

The guards of the two teams who were guarding Wu Shigong just now had firecrackers in their hands.As soon as the robbers appeared, they had already compacted the gunpowder and bullets in the gun barrel with iron bars, and ignited the match with fire medium.Get ready for shooting jobs.

Now when they saw those four or five people rushing over, they raised their firecrackers and shot them all, beating them all to death.

Seeing this, the rest of the robbers were so frightened that they knelt down and kowtowed for mercy.Wu Shigong ignored them at all.As soon as he waved his hand, the guards approached the robbers with their horses, trying to kill them all.

At this moment, amidst the begging for mercy, a robber shouted loudly: "Grandpas, you guys know where to hide things!"

"Oh?" Wu Shigong shouted to stop the guards from approaching.He pointed to the robber and said, "You come out first."

The robber hurried forward a few steps.Wu Shigong then ordered: "Kill the rest."

The guards approached again, raised their spears, and stabbed randomly.Three or two times, except for the one who shouted just now, the rest of the robbers fell into a pool of blood.

Then, Wu Shigong came to the dead body of the robber leader.I saw that the turban of the robber leader was blown away by the firecrackers.A head of short hair was exposed.

Zhang Biao, who was beside Wu Shigong, spat on the ground and said to Wu Shigong, "Bah! He's still a monk."

In the Ming Dynasty, both men and women had long hair, and only monks had short hair.Wu Shigong thought to himself: "What kind of world is this! Even the monks came out to rob. And this road from Jining to Guide, in modern times, is not a national road, but a provincial road. There will be more than 200 people The robbers came to rob? It seems that the world is going to be chaotic."

When Wu Shigong was expressing emotion, Xue Yongli and the others had already questioned the robbers and found out where the robbers hid their stolen goods.

So, Wu Shigong returned to the road with the guards first.Turn the cart blocking the road to the side of the road first, and take the cart and horses of the robbers pretending to be a caravan.

Then, Wu Shigong let the guards scatter around and threw the bodies of the dead robbers into the empty cart.Moreover, he also packed up more than 100 weapons scattered on the ground and brought them with him.

After all, this road is full of people coming and going, Wu Shigong didn't want to have some unexpected events happen when he took the stolen goods from the robbers.So, basically cleared the scene.

After doing all this, Wu Shigong let the robber lead the way, took the guards and the cart, and walked to the place where the robbers hid their stolen goods.
