Chapter 1286 Fighting the Horse Thief
"Fill the sheep first, don't let the sheep run away."
Seeing that all the wild yellow sheep were all wild, Chen Xiao said excitedly: "There are as many as you can hunt. If you can't finish eating, you can make it into jerky meat and bacon. It is much more comfortable than eating compressed military rations."
More than a hundred soldiers rushed around the yellow sheep. They did not use guns because the gunshots would scare the yellow sheep away. They picked up the crossbow and shot at the yellow sheep.
The yellow sheep were frightened and started to run away, but they were not as fast as they could. In the blink of an eye, more than a hundred heads fell down.
In the end, more than a thousand yellow sheep were hunted by them, and the rest escaped, but the harvest was also very rich.
"Take it back first!"
Chen Jue said loudly.
"Your Highness, be careful!"
Zhao Yun suddenly exclaimed, and waved his silver spear and knocked down an arrow close to him.
Chen Jue was just starting out, lacking experience and not very alert. He didn't react until now. He quickly turned around and raised the crossbow in his hand. When he looked back, he found that more than 200 people had come around him at some point.
Look at the clothes of those people, like horse thieves nearby, they slowly surrounded them with bows and arrows, scimitars and other weapons.
All the people who were preparing to pick up the sheep immediately became alert, gathered together, and looked at the horse thieves with vigilance.
"General Zhao, what should I do?"
Chen Xiao said nervously.
The world has been pacified for so long and there are not many opportunities to fight. It is also the first time he and Chen Jue go out with the army. Although they have been training in the army for so long, they have never really gone to the battlefield.
I was a little scared to see those people surrounding me.
"Isn't it just a horse thief, you're all killed!"
Zhao Yun said and fired a shot into the sky, continuing: "Do it!"
In order to save bullets, they did not use guns. The gun was just notified Guan Yu and the others, and immediately raised a crossbow to face the horse thief and killed him.
The horse thieves had never seen the guns, and were frightened by the sudden gunshots. Before they could react, the crossbow arrows were approaching and shot dozens of people in the blink of an eye.
"kill!"
Chen Xiao shouted to give him courage and followed the soldiers around him to kill the horse thief.
"Your Highness, follow me!"
Zhao Yun said.
Chen Jue drew out the Taia Sword, which Chen Yang gave him for self-defense. He shook his head and said, "General Zhao doesn't need it. If I keep following you, I will never be able to grow up. I can kill the enemy by myself!"
There is one more thing that he has never mentioned to others.
That is, he could feel that there seemed to be a special force in his body being slowly being developed, and whether it was strength or agile skills, they were constantly increasing, and that feeling was indescribable.
He felt this way after returning from the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang.
Judging from strength, Chen Jue is quite confident in himself, but his lack of combat experience has become a shortcoming that limits himself.
When Zhao Yun heard this, he admired him very much. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is becoming more and more like His Majesty.
Those horse thieves could not be the opponents of regular soldiers. More than 100 soldiers fought against more than 200 horse thieves, and finally wiped out the enemy at the cost of a soldier's minor injury.
"What happened?"
When Guan Yu and the others heard the gunshots, they immediately rushed over with more than 500 people, then found the corpse on the ground and asked, "Are they attacked?"
Chen Xiao killed someone for the first time, and his heart was jumping a little fast after stabilizing, and he smiled and said, "More than two hundred horse thieves, I guess they are going to snatch the yellow sheep from us, but the mobs will be killed by us soon. We just notified General Guan, you come and move the sheep together."
Zhao Yun said: "The King of Chu should be careful, I am worried that the horse thief will not give up."
Chen Jue wiped the blood on his hands and smiled and said, "It's just right that they are here. I can give me and my elder brother a chance to train."
Chen Xiao echoed: "That's right, when I started fighting just now, I found that I still had too little experience."
"It would be best if Your Highness and the King of Chu could think like this."
Guan Yu said with relief.
But they didn't take the mere horse thieves seriously, and they all moved all the yellow sheep back together.
That night, the entire camp was filled with a faint smell of meat, and I don’t know how comfortable it smelled.
"Brother, you are good at cooking again."
Chen Jue said with a smile.
"I learned this from Aunt Gu."
Chen Xiao smiled and said, "You eat more, if you don't have enough, I will roast them again. Those yellow sheep are enough for us to eat for a long time. Let the soldiers make bacon tomorrow. I can avoid eating compressed military rations for several days."
They laughed happily, but just after they had eaten the mutton, a scout came back to report that it was the horse thief who came again.
They hurried to the outside of the camp and saw torches lit up in the darkness, and a large group of bandits came from the direction of hunting yellow sheep just now. There were still hundreds of cavalry in front, and there were infantry behind them.
"These horse thieves are coming to die."
Chen Jue said, "Why don't we give them some colors?"
Zhao Yun agreed: "It is indeed necessary to let them know the strength of our Dayu army, and have a mortar!"
Soon a soldier sent the mortars, which was of course Pan Xiong's manufacturing result. He adjusted the position and angle and put the shells inside.
boom!
Hearing a sound, the shells rushed out against the horse thieves' cavalry, and then there was another loud noise. The flames soared into the sky in the dark, especially obvious, and then a series of screams came from the front.
The cavalry of the horse thieves were half blown up on the spot.
The remaining half stopped, opened the distance as soon as possible, stared at the tragedy beside him in shock, completely unable to understand what had just happened.
The horse thief infantry following behind him no longer dared to step forward, and looked at the scene in front of him as if he was a ghost. It was really terrible.
Then, they scattered and hurriedly retreated to the rear, and no one dared to take another step forward.
"That's it!"
Chen Xiao smiled and said, "Those horse thieves are too brave."
Zhao Yun said: "It's because our strength is too strong. Your Highness, you can rest early. We will come to watch tonight, and there will be no more danger."
After a day of travel, they were exhausted and returned to the tent and went to sleep comfortably.
After dawn, Chen Jue was awakened by Chen Xiao.
"Fourth brother, there is something outside."
Chen Xiao said.
He ranks third among Chen Yang's children, but as the eldest son, he is the eldest brother.
Chen Jue is the eldest son, and he is the seventh son of all children. He is Chen Yang's fourth son. Chen Xiao called him the fourth brother.
As soon as he heard something was happening outside, Chen Jue quickly got up and walked out of the military camp to take a look.
Another group of horse thieves came towards us. This time, unlike last night, they did not bring weapons, they were not here to take revenge, but more like they were coming to surrender, so they knelt in front of them from afar.
"Your Highness, what do you think you should do?"
Guan Yu asked.
