Chapter 1439 Relaxation
"What? Those bandits haven't left yet?!" Ji Zhenniang was so frightened that she almost fainted again, but she just covered her mouth tightly and did not dare to cry anymore.
Gu Jinli nodded: "It's possible that he didn't leave...what happened today is a bit unusual."
Look at the way the bandits rushed down. They were well-trained and well-equipped. How could they run away just after the fight?
It doesn't look like they are here to rob, but like they are here to perform a show and then run away after the performance.
But the bandits did indeed kill people, twenty-one of them.
Brother Qin once said that the rule of Da Chu is that as long as the number of enemies killed reaches double digits each time, one merit will be recorded. These twenty-one people just reached the number of people to record merit.
And these twenty-one people died too lightly, as if they came for free. Looking at the happy expressions of Vice General Xue and the soldiers, they will definitely feel that the ruthless bandits here are exaggerating, and I am afraid they will underestimate the enemy. Thoughts come.
"Of course it's unusual. The entire westbound army was robbed by bandits. How can it be considered ordinary?" Ji Zhenniang retorted, feeling that Gu Jinli was getting more and more stupid.
But she was very scared now. After saying this, she shut up and huddled in the carriage with her arms folded.
Xie Huaihua took the animal skin blanket, covered Ji Zhenniang, and comforted: "Madam, don't be afraid, it's okay. There are thousands of us, and any bandit who comes will be killed."
Thousands of people are just nice words, but in fact there are only about two thousand soldiers. The remaining two thousand are either relatives or servants, and are burdensome. If they really encounter a tough bandit, it would be difficult for the soldiers to just protect their relatives, let alone kill the enemy.
After hearing this, Ji Zhenniang said harshly: "Who is afraid? I am just cold!"
"It's my fault, Madam, calm down." Xie Huaihua also understood some of Ji Zhenniang's temper, and knew that it was best to follow her at this time.
After hearing this, Ji Zhenniang glared at her, but said nothing and continued to tremble in fear.
Gu Jinli raised the curtains of the car and looked at the situation outside. Her servants did a good job. Feng Jin led people who knew how to box and kick to surround the cars of women and children on their side. Xiong Da and Aunt Xiong went from car to car to tell everyone: "Don't get out of the car yet, take out the knives you are carrying, just in case."
Everybody did it.
More than two-quarters of an hour later, Qin Sanlang and Xie Cheng came over on horseback.
Qin Sanlang said: "Xiaoyu, we are at Duijingguan ahead, and we still have a while before we can leave."
Gu Jinli responded: "Hey, I understand."
Xie Cheng came over to comfort Ji Zhenniang and asked her from across the carriage: "Zhenniang, Zhenniang, are you okay? Are you scared?"
Xie Cheng didn't ask what was going on, but when he asked Ji Zhenniang, she started crying: "Ooooooooo, I want to go home, I miss Zhuzhu."
I just want to go back, rather than making trouble to go back, which is a sign of progress.
Xie Cheng breathed a sigh of relief and comforted her: "Zhen Niang is not afraid. It's okay. The bandits have been beaten away."
Ji Zhenniang: "I just beat him away but not to death. They will come back!"
Xie Cheng was choked by the rebuke, and then said: "We will leave in a moment. The lair of these bandits is nearby. They can't keep chasing us, so you don't have to be afraid."
After hearing this, Ji Zhenniang almost went crazy with fright: "What? The bandit's lair is nearby? Then what are we waiting here for? Why don't we run quickly and wait for the bandit to come home and bring reinforcements to kill us all?!"
Xie Cheng is also going crazy. Why doesn't this make sense? "Hahaha!" Gu Jinli laughed shamelessly, but Ji Zhenniang glared at her fiercely and scolded: "Gu Xiaoyu, why are you laughing? What if the bandits follow your laughter and kill them later? What to do? Shut up!"
Gu Jinli said: "I don't want to laugh either. It's because you two are so funny when you talk. You deserve to be a couple."
With these words, Ji Zhenniang blushed and stopped arguing with Xie Chengjuan. She said, "Hurry up, we can't stay in this place for too long."
"Well, don't worry, Zhenniang, the army will leave soon." Xie Cheng said and rode away with Qin Sanlang.
More than a quarter of an hour later, the road was cleared and the Jingguan was piled up. The army moved again, passing through the junction of the two counties and entering the territory of Bailang County.
Gu Jinli lifted the car curtains and looked at the surrounding routes and terrain, he was shocked.
The junction of these two counties is actually a mountain pass, with a hillside on both sides, and the road passes through the middle of the hillside. This kind of terrain is a dead place, and it is most likely to be ambushed, so you cannot stay for a long time.
But after Vice General Xue and the others won a match, they actually relaxed and stayed here for half an hour. Half an hour is a modern hour. A lot can be done in an hour. If the bandits come back again, If you shoot arrows from the hillside specifically to kill the relatives of the soldiers, many of them will definitely die.
Gu Jinli frowned. Can such an unsuspecting lieutenant win the battle? I guess it was just to fill the corpses on the battlefield.
Qin Sanlang was also worried about this. He once reminded Deputy General Fang that this place was too easy to be ambushed, and the bandit's lair was very likely to be nearby. He did not want to stay for a long time, so he asked Deputy General Fang to tell Deputy General Xue that Jingguan Just pile them up casually and wait until we set up camp in the evening to divide the things. Lets leave first.
But after Deputy General Fang hesitated for a while, he still refused, saying that Deputy General Xue was in high spirits and he was at the same level as him, so it was difficult to persuade him. Moreover, there were many of them and they were not afraid of bandits. The bandits this time were not that powerful.
Qin Sanlang is only a member of a hundred households. The deputy generals have said so, what else can he do? You Ping and the others could only be on guard and said nothing more.
Fortunately, nothing happened and the army successfully passed the pass and entered the territory of Bailang County.
On the high mountains in the distance, there were four black spots watching the army leave.
These four black spots are four people sitting on horses. They are wearing dusty robes and covering their heads and faces.
"Oh, this is the so-called westward march to resist the Japanese? They are simply vulnerable. When they go to the northwest battlefield, they will only be a pile of dead bodies." The real Bailang Mountain Jiuzhai bandit leader said disdainfully, looking down on this so-called westward march at all. The resistance army.
but
"This time we have lost twenty-one brothers in vain. Each brother is worth twenty taels of gold. You have to make up for it."
Twenty taels of gold per person, which is actually ten taels more than they agreed.
After hearing this, Ding Changwu sneered and said, "Boss Bai, have you increased the price too much?"
This is ten taels of gold, not ten taels of silver.
Mr. Bai laughed: "Don't be too rich for your Ding family. This extra gold is not what our Bailang Mountain Jiuzhai wants. It is given to Master Gui as a filial piety. Master Gui is a distinguished guest. It is rare that he is interested in coming over to have a look, so he must give it to you." Lord Ghost will take a share."
What's more, behind the ghost master is the Eagle Food Gang, the second largest gang in the northwest. This is the largest gang in the northwest after the Rongshan Gang. They raise real gangsters. Not to mention their Bailang Mountain Jiuzhai, even the Northwest Gang. Even the army dare not provoke him.
"Changwu, you are an unruly person, do you have any say here? Give me three slaps to apologize!" Uncle Dong was sent by the Ding family to help. He knew Boss Bai from Jiuzhaigou in Bailang Mountain. Hearing this, he angrily scolded Ding Changwu.
