Wandering in the world of martial arts

Chapter 261
Sending troops is no small matter.

It took a day just to prepare the soldiers and horses and prepare the luggage, and this was because of the small number of people dispatched.

For this operation, Shanzhai planned to dispatch a total of 100 people.

30 new recruits, plus 70 veterans.

According to intelligence, the landlord who was targeted this time only had more than 20 armed rural warriors.

Of course, the people of northern Xinjiang are fierce and brave, even ordinary farmers have a certain fighting ability.

If the whole village worked together, it would be really difficult to deal with.

But now, since it is a villager from that village who took the initiative to write a letter and open the village gate to do internal affairs, then things will be much easier to handle.

It must be more than enough to dispatch a hundred horsemen.

Wu Chen was not idle either.

During the preparation time of this day, he also tried his best to take the time to give some pointers to the cultivation of these recruits, so that they could sharpen their guns before the battle.

These minions, who were selected as the horse army, were finally about to start their first official operation, and they all seemed nervous and excited.

The personnel dispatched this time, in addition to these small soldiers, were the second in command, a deputy commander named Zhou, Zhao Wen and other three junior commanders, two intelligence officers, and Wu Chen.

The reason why Wu Chen insisted on participating in this operation naturally had his own considerations.

It's boring to stay in the cottage all the time, and it just so happens that he hasn't participated in any robbery yet.

He wants to use his own eyes to observe and observe more, to learn more about Hanluo Village, and to find some answers he wants to know. Of course, it would be great if he could gain some reputation by the way.

On the night before the departure, the cottage also held a small mobilization meeting to see off those who went out and boost their morale.

As a participant in this battle, Wu Chen naturally received a lot of attention.

But what made him most happy was that since this was a party before the war, the food was pretty good. This was the most important thing. He hadn't had a good meal in a long time.

In the early morning of the next day, the second master ordered the 100 soldiers and horses, and under the grand farewell of everyone in the village headed by the first master, went down the mountain to go on the expedition.

Since they are bandits, this expedition is definitely incomparable with the regular army. There are no flags, military drums, musical instruments, etc. If it is not that the weapons and armor are relatively complete, it is more like a caravan selling horses.

On the first day, the marching speed was quite fast.

At the foot of Liaoyang Mountain, the population is relatively sparse, so there is no need to worry, just let your horse gallop.

After a long journey, in the afternoon, the number of people began to increase, and I met several waves of pedestrians on the road.

These pedestrians heard the rumble of horseshoes from a long distance away. In this northern border, when they encountered the sound of horseshoes, because it might be the Qiang people, they naturally fled as far as they could.

But they are two legs after all.

If unfortunately they were discovered by this bandit army, the consequences could be imagined.

Without the leader saying anything, the members of the horse army excitedly separated a group of people, chased them, stopped these pedestrians, and carried out robbery.

Facing these ferocious bandits, these pedestrians dared not say anything, they all looked ashen, tremblingly took out their belongings, and at the same time knelt down to beg for mercy, just hoping to save their lives.

The members of the horse army finally kept some money for them and let them leave.

According to the rules of Hanluo village, they can keep part of their looting gains, and most of them must be handed over when they go back.

But after all, it is also part of the windfall, so this good job of robbing pedestrians is done in batches. After this group of people robs, the next time they encounter pedestrians, another group of people will go there.

Wu Chen naturally saw all these in his eyes.

But he didn't say anything.

From the eyes of some modern people, there must be something to say at this time:
"Hey, you actually robbed in broad daylight, and you didn't step forward to stop it. Do you have any conscience? You are still not human!"

But brother, this is a troubled time.

Is it appropriate to look at these troubled times with the eyes of people who govern the world?

Now that you have been reduced to a bandit, your occupation is doomed to rob you, otherwise you will not be able to survive.

If you insist on using modern morality to deal with this troubled world, then one day you will be eliminated by the rules of this world.

Wu Chen felt that since he came to this world, he had to learn to look at some things with the eyes of this world, which can be regarded as a philosophy of life.

In fact, the people in Hanluo Village are quite good, because the head of the family usually strictly enforces military discipline, so although they rob people of wealth, they not only spare people's lives, but also leave some money for them. If you encounter this, The copycat may even lose his life.

At dusk, they found another wave of pedestrians, and immediately sent out more than ten horses to rob them. However, something seemed to happen, and some quarrels were heard in the distance.

"You kill me! You kill me! Kill me if you have the ability!"

"Boy, it's because of your luck today that you will spare your life when you meet the uncle of our Hanluo village! Don't push yourself too hard, think that the uncle really dare not kill you!"

Wu Chen's heart moved, and he rode his horse and walked over immediately.

The situation at the scene is like this.

More than 10 horse members stopped three people and a donkey cart.

The one who had a quarrel with the members of the horse army was a young man, probably less than 20 years old, who was confronting them with a knife. The other two seemed to be his hired servants. They squatted on the ground tremblingly, their faces ashen, I dare not resist at all.

"What's going on?" Wu Chen asked.

"Mr. Chen, it's like this. This kid seems to be a fur dealer. He shipped a truckload of fur goods to sell. We kindly asked him to keep the goods and go away, but who knew he was so ignorant that he dared to Bargain with the old man!"

The members of the Ma Jun explained angrily.

"I borrowed money from all the neighbors and folks in my neighborhood to finally save the money for this batch of goods. If you rob these batches of goods, I can't explain to the folks when I go back! Then I might as well die here!"

The boy's eyes were tearing apart, his face was ashen, and his face was full of anger and unwillingness.

"Dead? Bastard, do you think your life is worth a lot? I will tell you right now that your life is worthless!"

The young man's words immediately enraged a member of the horse army with a violent temperament, and immediately drew out the knife with a "chuckle", and other members of the horse army immediately surrounded him, intending to kill the boy.

"Hold on."

But at this moment, Wu Chen waved his hand slightly.

These members of the horse army did not dare not give him face, and immediately stopped their movements in response.

"No matter who you are, kill me if you have the ability, or you will never take my goods!"

Seeing Wu Chen walking towards him, the young man still looked determined and glared at him angrily.
