Chapter 1950 Anti-Bandits
It is not the first time for the group leader to go to this place. Speaking of which, they have already gone to this place many times. They are also very familiar with this place. In the eyes of many businessmen, this place is their doomsday, but for For the caravan of Cao's House, this is a very simple place, no different from other places. On the contrary, there may be some troubles in other places, but in Yuncheng Ridge, there is no trouble at all. It will happen, the three bandit leaders have all made an agreement with a teacher of the Cao Family Chamber of Commerce, as long as the annual salary of 200,000 silver is delivered, no matter what happens, they will help to settle it.
After entering Yuncheng Ridge, the head of the regiment told the soldiers below to be on guard as usual. This is what Li Cong told them. The head of the regiment had attended a class taught by Li Cong himself. Li Cong told them that what the bandits promised was the last thing to do Believe it, if you can believe what the bandit said, the sow will probably climb the tree, so no matter what it is, as long as it is said by the bandit, one by one should be careful, otherwise the loss will be your own, so Most of the regiment leaders have remembered this sentence. Now they have entered the sphere of influence of the three bandits in Yunchengling. Most of the soldiers also think that it is nothing, but the order has been issued, and they are still fast. They sent out their own spies to the surroundings, and set up a special observation post inside to pay close attention to the surrounding movements. The entire convoy formed a defensive formation and advanced. Although the speed was reduced a lot, it was much safer.
At a distance of 3,000 meters, the scouts of Cao's House usually scout about 1,000 meters in front of them. They still don't have any investigations for places over 1000 meters, so hiding in this position is a very good position for these bandits. These three bandits usually fight frequently. But today the three bosses are all lying together. They are all focused on the convoy of Cao's House in the distance. The three of them are the most powerful bandits who have appeared here in recent years. After several years At that time, they wiped out most of the bandits around them. Now it can be said that they are the masters, and they are the kings here. The people from Cao's House also negotiated with them in person. More than half a year has passed, and none of them have any idea about Cao's commercial team. What's going on now?
"Hehe, this is the first time the three of us have teamed up. But this business is good. The thirty carts of silver is not a lot. Each of the ten carts has hundreds of thousands of silver, compared with their twenty The annual payment of Wanyinzi is much better, and we can live a better life." A bald man said. This guy not only has no hair on his head, but also has all his eyebrows shaved off, which is really rare.
"Baldhead, please don't say a few words. In fact, I still prefer the old days. If it wasn't for the people in my family being controlled by those bastards, I wouldn't want to play Cao's house. They are all masters. We are all little devils, we are mixed among them, we will not have a good life, I don't care what you think, anyway, after this incident, I will take my money and fly away, although the previous days were good , but you have to have your own life. Do you think that the Cao's House lost millions of silver this time, and we can continue to be here like this? If they fight against us, they are completely different from the imperial court. Those of the imperial court We all know the number of people, as long as you send money to the past, you can run away with your own life.
But these people are different, no matter how you give money, they will kill you. " Another middle-aged man with a white beard said, this man is also very strange, with a head of black hair, but there are some white beards, nicknamed Baimao.
"Bai Mao is right. The three of us have been fighting for many years. I didn't expect my last robbery to be with the two of you. I really miss such days, although my net worth is not as rich as the two of you , but I want to find a secluded place to spend the rest of my life well. It’s okay, but I’m sorry for the tens of thousands of brothers who follow me, and their life will be difficult.” Said the bandit with the shortest time here , this guy is happy every day, nicknamed Buddha, but this Buddha has no heart of charity at all, and thousands of people died under his hands.
While chatting, the three of them looked at the convoy of Cao's House from far to near. When they saw the equipment of the guards, they murmured in their hearts again. Damn, aren't they a bit cheap? It's not like being a bandit Anyone can rob, so you have to pick such a soft persimmon, otherwise your bandit will be killed by others long ago, how can you have a future? But the situation this time is indeed different from the previous ones. Those people have paid a lot of money. If I don’t do that, my family members will probably have problems. I don't know who they are, but judging by their strength, they must be at least level 7 fighters. We know the skills of those people. They are not their opponents. It's so confusing, I got some kind of poison, if I don't do what they say, I may die when the deadline comes, so this time I can only succeed and not fail, although I have to face it if I succeed The pursuit of Cao's firm, but at least I can get the antidote and live temporarily, but if I fail, I will die immediately. They are still clear about which is more important, so almost all of my people are Brought it.
The three largest bandits, a total of 60,000 bandits, are waiting for the guards of Li Cong's regiment. Even if those coachmen are added, there are only more than 20,000 people at Cao's House, which is the largest in terms of number. They are definitely at a disadvantage, and they don't have any advantages in terms of location. These bandits are almost all people who live around here. They are more familiar with this place than their own home. These guards in Cao's house Many people have been here before, but more people have never been here. So if something happens, it will be theirs who will suffer.
The bald head is their commander-in-chief because his subordinates are the strongest. When the bald head saw that the forward of the guard was less than 1,000 meters away from his side, he immediately ordered his subordinates to prepare with the three thousand archers of the other two groups of bandits. Yes, prepare the first round of bows and arrows to kill hundreds of people in the guard team, first give them a warning, as long as this can be achieved, the rest will be a success, you must know that so many people fight, fight It is a spirit. If victory is on your side. No matter how you fight, you will never lose. If you lose your momentum when you come up, then your morale is useless even if your morale is strong.
Looking at the guards of Cao's House, they didn't find anything wrong when they reached 2000 meters. Just as he was about to move on, the head of the group felt some dangerous smells. The captain raised his fist. Immediately, the three second-level fighters around him used their most powerful internal strength to shout "Stop advancing, defend." The voices spread one after another.
Immediately after the front cavalry received the order, a group of three formed a small defensive circle, and in the middle of the cavalry squad was the infantry with shields. They all watched their surroundings vigilantly, and the archer Yue in the inner circle also stringed his bows and arrows. Once there is an order from above, we will be the vanguard of the attack. It is impossible to ambush.
"Something is wrong. It's too quiet around here. Even if you know it's our caravan, there will be quite a few bandits strolling on the hillside. What's going on today? No one is there. Could it be that they all went back to sleep? That is impossible in broad daylight." The regiment leader looked around and said, other officers also came over, this is indeed the case in normal times, they also felt strange just now, but I can't tell what's going on, but now I understand it. The leader is right. Today's situation is not right. It's too quiet around here. Besides them, no other caravans came in. This is actually The three big bandits didn't let the people behind them in after the chamber of commerce guards came in. Those businessmen usually saw them like a mouse seeing a cat, but now they are even more afraid to come in.
"What the team leader said is that I think it's better for us to withdraw for the time being. This will also make their plan come to nothing. After we go out, we can ask our team to search it carefully." The chief of staff looked at it. Looking around, he said that there is a solution to what he said, but this seems a little impossible. Since these people have planned one by one, how could it be possible for you to go out so easily? Things were easy to handle. Sure enough, before he finished speaking, he heard shouts of killing over there. Their reconnaissance team found a small group of bandits, and they began to retreat after a brief exchange of fire.
"The caravan retreat immediately, guards, cover." The head of the group glanced at the front and back. Although there were bandits behind, they were only a few dozen people, and they were all blocking other caravans at the entrance. The bandits are the main ones. I really didn't expect there to be so many bandits. Now I see thousands of them, but this is not in their eyes. "Brothers, now is your chance to make contributions. Yes, the Chamber of Commerce said that killing one bandit is two taels of silver, and killing ten can be upgraded to a level. Let's see if you can seize this opportunity. They are a bunch of mobs. They want to defeat our It's simply impossible, look at their weapons, they have all kinds of things, they are nothing compared to us, brothers, stomp them these bastards, anyone who wants to fight against our chamber of commerce will do no good It's the end." The head of the group said angrily, he also has this kind of confidence, there are only a few thousand people in front of him, and the number is only half of theirs, so there is nothing to be afraid of.
The brothers below are naturally full of energy when they hear the shouts of the leader. What the leader said is very right. These guys are all rubbish, and they are not our opponents. As long as we If played properly, these guys will be our appetizers. They really aren't very powerful people. The bandits on the mountain are also dumbfounded at this time. How come they were discovered so quickly? This seems a bit abnormal.
"The back team changed to the front team, rush out." The cars behind the chamber of commerce turned around immediately, and they were pulling food on them. Two cavalrymen led dozens of infantrymen to kill the more than thirty bandits in front, and the carriage behind them moved forward quickly. They had to break through the exit, otherwise, if the brigade behind stopped here, They were all going to suffer, and at the same time, a large number of soldiers began to gather towards the front. This was done during the usual drills, and there should be no mistakes at this time.
"Fire the arrow..." It was not the bald man who shouted this voice, but the head of the chamber of commerce. Now it is impossible for their archers to reach them. I was dumbfounded at what I said before, relying on the archers to come up and give them a slap in the face. This is basically impossible. They will definitely not continue to move forward, but the slap in the face was given to them. Thousands of their captives were shot directly. Some were just shot in the arm. But since they fell down, they had no chance to stand up again. They looked at the brothers around them. No one will help them at this time. If you fall down because of supporting them, you can only be trampled to death. This is the case during wars. No matter how close the people next to you are, You can't help him, if you don't do this, the dead one will drag you to die together.
"Bastard, at this point, the brothers are shoulder to shoulder, we can't give them any chance, kill them." The bald man was very depressed when he saw thousands of brothers died, and he was ambushing him, but he had nothing to do. On the contrary, so many of my own people died, good guy, just go straight up, the other two bosses didn't have any opinions, so they just called people up, they also know that this time today is the last time, Maybe I will never have a chance to be a bandit in the future. I will either kill those people today, or I will be killed by others today, and there will be no other results.
Each of the bandits also had their own blood. Seeing so many of their brothers died, each of them was deeply saddened, and they all howled loudly, hoping that they could rely on this I have increased a lot of combat power, but combat power is not something that you can come out with two calls. They are all desperate, and the most important thing is that they have cavalry. We don't have any cavalry here. If it is an ambush, the cavalry is the target, but if it is an impact, the cavalry is the biggest killer of the infantry.
"Cavalry squadron, let me crush them." The deputy commander is also the battalion commander of the cavalry battalion, and immediately organized a cavalry of more than 800 people. Compared with the tens of thousands of infantry, the 800-plus cavalry is really nothing. What, but it should be noted that the opposite of them is not a well-trained army, but a group of useless bandits. They may rob ordinary people or something, but they want to deal with well-trained Cao Cao. The guards of the commercial companies are almost ready, and all the officers of the guards understand that as long as they can block their first wave of attacks, they will definitely have no other moves.
These guys in the cavalry battalion have been training to cut down that scarecrow for a long time, and they have been in their hearts for a long time. If they can't go up and repair them vigorously, this thing may be a little bit right I can't help myself, there are many opportunities for actual combat, but there are not so many people, they are all wearing heavy armor, and they may have some shortcomings when dealing with cavalry, mainly because of the lack of speed, but If you deal with these infantry, and the infantry without any protective measures, there is really no suspense. It is really a matter of minutes to kill them.
In the first round of impact, the cavalry phalanx didn't do anything, they just let their horses rush in with their powerful impact. They didn't choose the conical formation of the cavalry phalanx, but Directly used a rectangular formation to rush in, and immediately the bandits lost their rare bloodiness just now. What the bandits wanted at this time was not what to do to the guards, but how to avoid themselves These cavalrymen in front of them, as long as these guys hit themselves, this is a terrible thing. The horse's hoof directly stepped on his body. If he stepped on his head, his brains might be trampled If it comes out, even if you step on other parts of your body, you will directly step on yourself into a cripple. Being crippled in this world is much more uncomfortable than dying yourself. They didn't want to be crippled, so they started to retreat. It doesn't matter how the little heads in the back call themselves, and it doesn't matter if they say things like loyalty one by one at ordinary times. The most important thing is how to save your own life. It is impossible for those who are close to the formation to leave. Those who are waiting for them will lose their lives, but those behind them all dodge. They just need to leave the forward route of the square team.
Just when these guys thought they had run away. At this time, the bows and arrows from the sky also arrived. Unlike some archers in the army, there were a few magic arrows used by second-level archers, which they had seen before. But the secondary archers use this thing? And they are dealing with ordinary people? This is not a joke. Even if this thing is the cheapest, it costs tens of thousands of silver each. This thing came to kill ordinary people like them, it really gave them face, how much are all their heads worth? This is absolutely impossible. But everything in front of me is the truth.
More than a dozen fire-type magic arrows came in directly. Damn it, it was like being set on fire premeditatedly. The bald head just urged more than 10,000 people to enter the sea of flames. They all said in the back why the brothers in front were useless one by one. Now I understand, it’s not that the brothers in front are useless, it’s because the guards are too capable, it’s not that we rabble can do anything to them Yes, if you still hesitate, you will all have to die here. These people are different from the fat sheep in the past. Those chambers of commerce and the like in the past just looked decent, but they were actually useless Yes, as long as they randomly dispatch hundreds of people to go down and show them the knives, they will hand over the goods or silver one by one.
"We can't go on like this. If we continue like this, we will definitely put our teams here, and let's forget about our team for the rest of our lives?" Bai Mao said with some distress. The more than ten thousand people who went up just now Two thousand of them belonged to his most powerful subordinates. Now it can be said that there is nothing left. His loss is the biggest among several people. It is impossible for him to ignore it.
"No, if we shrink back at this time, we won't be able to get anything, and our losses will be heavy. Those people won't give us a big word." The bald man said, in fact, when he said this My heart is also bleeding. It can be said that the three bandits have brought out their elites in this operation, and they have nothing to hold back. If they go back now, they will definitely not be able to hang around here in the future. That's right, other bandits will come to annex him after they know the news, and he will have nothing, and his life will be over.
"Damn it, then we will fight. Brothers, death is a death. If we take them down this time, I will reward each of them with 500 taels of silver, and you can go back to live in peace. If we leave now, you guys on the surrounding hills also understand that they were better than us in the past, but now we can't even keep up with half of them. If we just go back like this, we will be dead. I'll charge, take down these people, 500 taels of silver, charge." The bald man shouted loudly, and the faces of the rest of the bandits were fierce again, why are we being bandits? Isn't it just for money? In the past, no matter how you divided it, it was impossible to have 500 taels of silver. Now it is different. The boss said before that we have this money, and we will live on the 500 taels of silver. The surrounding land is only five taels of silver per mu. Whether you grow 100 mu of land or give it to others, your life is pretty good. If you are buying a house and marrying a wife, your life is not bad.
Stimulated by the money, these bandits released their viciousness, and rushed into the fire one by one desperately. They didn't care whether it was their brothers or the guards in front of them, what they had to do Just one thing, that is to rush to the front and kill all the people who blocked him. Nearly 20,000 people rushed up like that, which made the cavalry team a little flustered. The cavalry battalion commander immediately called his own cavalry Retreat, if you confront these people head-on at this time, you will definitely lose yourself. I will never do such a thing. Although the retreat is fast, there are still about a hundred cavalry troops involved in it. up. Although they are all heavy cavalry, the impact of these people is also very powerful. They directly knocked down these cavalry, and their fate is known...
The cavalry in the back couldn't make up a square team. Although the number is still quite a lot, it is impossible to organize quickly, and the magic arrows are almost consumed at the moment. Archers Using ordinary bows and arrows has very limited damage to them. The archers among the bandits finally woke up at this time, and they also started to fight back. So the attack power of the bow and arrow began to drop rapidly.
The head of the group glanced back at the retreating caravan. Damn it, if Wanbazizi couldn't even protect these goods, he should really go back and pick up the child. The head of the group pulled out his waist knife. He flattered his horse and rushed up.
"Brothers, the Chamber of Commerce treats us well. Today is our first battle. If we lose the goods, it will lose the face of everyone in our escort team. Come on, they are already at the end of their strength. There is no fighting power, look at their clothes, look at their weapons, they are a group of ordinary people with weapons, you are different, you are a group of wolves, a group of wolves who want to eat them, in this battle we only need It is victory, and the rewards from above will definitely be indispensable, and we will definitely not give them the annual salary of 600,000 silver in the future, and distribute it to the brothers." At this time, the head of the group said directly that he might also It's something that can't be done, but he thinks that as long as he kills these bandits, there will definitely be rewards from above, but whether there are so many is not his business. Right now, it is important to boost morale.
The brothers of the Chamber of Commerce were also motivated by money. On the battlefield, all spirits are nonsense. Only money is the most useful thing. Everyone is here for money. At this time, this is the most important thing.
The Pu Daobing of the chamber of commerce was immediately organized. Although there were only less than 5,000 people, they were a little weak in the face of more than 20,000 bandits, but they still bravely stood in front of the convoy, and they wanted to use their bodies to defend the goods. , The guys in the team also looked at these brothers one by one, knowing that every minute is very important now, no one rushed to help the brothers in the escort team to fight, saying that they also have their own As for their ability, they all knew clearly that they couldn't act foolishly at this time. If they passed by, it might be helpful, but it might be a failure for the whole battle situation.
The road is so wide. If you run carelessly at this time, it is estimated that no one in the entire convoy can go out. There are about 100 cavalry on both sides of the road at this time. They are strictly monitoring these drivers. Withdraw according to the number on his car, so that the time can be fully utilized. If this is not the case, it is estimated that the retreat time will be much longer.
The merchants outside Yuncheng Ridge also saw the carriages of the Cao Family Chamber of Commerce running out of it. They don't envy these people now, and the shouts of killing over there have already spread. It is said that at this time, the people of the government It should be here too. The commander of the infantry company who followed the convoy withdrew took a look at the corner in front of him. The people from the government haven't come yet? How is this going? We are all well prepared. There must be tens of thousands of troops in the surrounding counties and cities. Even if the infantry did not come, these cavalry will definitely come. Could there be other things behind this matter? Regardless of these, you have to rely on yourself at critical times.
After throwing out the migratory bird, the infantry company commander left half of the soldiers to look at the goods, and rushed back with the rest of the soldiers. The migratory bird was sent from above. This is a low-level monster in the Warcraft Mountains. It is used to transmit messages, and the speed is not bad, with a speed of more than 100 kilometers per hour, but it can only run a few hundred kilometers. The matching Li Cong gave them was to allow them to contact some nearby places. The chief knew that there were two guard points of Cao's House of Commerce around here. Although there were only two companies and hundreds of people, they were all cavalry. If they came, they could do a lot of things.
The three bald-headed people glanced at the group of people in front of them, and knew that this time, they and others would definitely suffer a lot of losses. If they continued to wait like this, they would really lose everything, family and so on. At this time, it doesn't matter anymore. All three of them took a look, and they all left twenty guards for themselves. These are the people I can trust the most. At this time, I have to do something. That is to leave these brothers who are still fighting, and then bring your own people back to your lair and take away what you have accumulated. This is what you should do. As for the success or failure here, it is already a matter of life. It doesn't matter anymore, that person's threat doesn't matter anymore, I may die, but definitely not now, as long as I can live for a day, they are all thinking about it now.
"We each go our own way. I believe that the three of us also have our own backhands. As long as we are caught, we can figure it out. Don't sell the brothers out. After all, we have all been in the same trench. " said the bald man loudly after getting on his horse. The other two also looked at each other. The eyes are extremely distrustful. At this time, it is superfluous to say anything. They are very clear about what kind of stuff each of these people is. It would be strange if you were caught and didn’t confess. Saying this is meaningless to others, it’s just to let yourself have such a statement in your heart, feel better, and psychologically comfort.
The bosses are all running away at this time, and some brothers who are closest to them have seen it, good guy, this boss runs so fast, if they still rush over foolishly, then there is really something wrong with their brains, 500 two silver? Hehe, I guess the first thing these bosses do when they go back is to ask people to evacuate the money in the old den. Even the small treasury they kept in the old den will be looted. If there is such a thing, these people will not be soft-hearted in handling things. Immediately, the first one starts to run back, and if there is the first one, there will be the second one. Seeing that thousands of Pu Daobing are about to I couldn't resist it anymore, but at this moment everyone saw hope, there was already the sound of horseshoes in the distance, and there was such a neat sound, it would definitely not come to support the bandits, it could only be their own people.
"Brothers, 20,000 cavalry reinforcements have arrived, kill them, destroy them." The head of the regiment said loudly while sitting on the horseback. In fact, this kid didn't know how many reinforcements there would be. He said this to his brothers It’s better to say it to the bandits. The bandits know what a fart. Many people almost peed their pants when they heard that there are 20,000 reinforcements. The killing power just now is gone, so hurry up Let's run, survival is the most important thing, too much silver is useless, and my head is gone, what is the difference between those silver and dirt.
When the guards here heard the news, their spirits immediately surged. At the moment, their condition is not very good. More than half of the Park Swordsmen have been killed. The team of more than 10,000 people has died more than three times. One-third, more than half of the casualties, the regiment is basically disabled, if this is not over, it will be difficult for them to hold on, but it is still possible to win, but at that time the loss may be even greater Big one, some of the bandits around are not watching the fun. Seeing that the guards of Cao's House are useless, if they don't come up at this time to take advantage of the fire, when will they come up? In the past, it was the convoy of Cao's House without guards They didn't dare to rob, but today the matter is different, isn't it? The three of them jointly did this matter. As long as our people go up and come here for a while, we can put the responsibility on the heads of those three guys. , the rest of the things are not considered by myself, when the time comes, I will have benefits, and my life can be paid for, who would not want to do such a thing.
But now with the arrival of the reinforcements, those bandits who were waiting to pick up the leaks were dumbfounded, so they should go back and wash up and sleep early, but this matter today will also have some impact, that is, in the future, the team of Cao's firm wants to There is absolutely no problem passing through Yuncheng Ridge. I don’t know what others will do, but I will definitely not go out and do stupid things on my side. Tens of thousands of bandits have lost their heads. Is there any one missing for me? The other one is very beneficial to them. Now the three major bandit leaders will definitely run away. In the future, Yuncheng Ridge will be reshuffled. No matter what, this place belongs to us people. The bandit investors all hope that they can become the next three bandits. They are about to start preparing now, thinking about their potential opponents and so on.
An hour later, except for hundreds of cavalry who were still chasing and killing the bandits fleeing all over the mountain, most of the guards of Cao's House had already started to clean the battlefield. The 1,500 cavalry and 2,000 infantry who came from nearby counties to support It is already in place, and they will replace the injured brothers and continue to escort these things over.
The team leader and several deputy team leaders were both wounded. Fortunately, there were no deaths. Although the high-level officials survived, the remaining people really made them feel distressed. They hoped to have a chance to practice well. The brothers under their command would never hope for such an opportunity. Damn, they killed 4125 people, injured 1920 people, and there are more than 5000 people who can fight. Damn, more than half of them have no fighting power Yes, the casualty rate of this regiment is absolutely astonishing, but having said that, they are something to be proud of, none of them shamed the newly formed guard team, they are definitely heroes, the heroes of Cao's firm.
"Damn it, these bandits took the wrong medicine or something, why are they all coming to fight against us, did they all have a fever yesterday?" The group leader looked at the remaining bandits on the mountain Said.
"You bastards, what are you looking at? What are you keeping them for? I'll cut them off. Damn, bandits." The deputy commander lost a finger, and his combat effectiveness in the future will definitely be greatly reduced. Right now, he directly ordered Killed all these captives. Although the other officers knew that this was against the rules, they couldn't care less now. Anyway, no one from the government came. So many people died here, so let's just say It's time for them to fight to the death, and then it's just a matter of giving those guys more money, which we can still afford.
The soldiers under him raised their knives and fell immediately when they heard this order. Hundreds of captives lost their heads. In fact, there were not many captives, most of them died. This war will definitely be recorded, at least passing by in the future People in Yunchengling will talk about this war in a hundred years, and this war has something to do with Cao's business.
Although the group leader and the others suspect that there is a black hand behind this incident, it is impossible to find out with their ability. What they have to do now is to quickly arrest the three bandit investors. There may be some news after arresting those three guys, so they started a new journey after a short rest. (To be continued..)
