Chapter 298: They Are All Playing To Lure The Enemy Deep
Chen Er was so frightened that he quickly spat out the dried meat he had just swallowed, shook his hands and said:
"No, no, this seduction thing is still a humble duty to carry out, you can't..."
Chen Tianhua glared and shouted:
"Stop blabbering, Chen Er. To execute my military order, I will lead Song Xiaoniu's guard platoon ahead, and your cavalry will follow. Besides, I am not a three-year-old boy. Don't you know how to run back if you can't win?"
"yes…"
When Chen Er saw that the eldest young master was angry, he immediately shut up and did not dare to say any more.
I saw him holding up his chest and raising his head, patting his chest with his greasy palms on his military cotton-padded clothes, with a serious look on his face.
Whenever encountering difficulties, the eldest young master always takes the lead and singles out the most dangerous ones, which really moved the officers and soldiers.
But among these officers and soldiers, the eldest young master was the most intelligent and brave, so everyone had to let him go.
Soon, Song Xiaoniu's security platoon gathered around Chen Tianhua.
Chen Er walked up to Song Xiaoniu and whispered:
"Brother Mavericks, although the eldest young master is powerful in kung fu, he is ruthless with swords and guns. Please watch carefully and don't let anything happen to him?!"
Song Xiaoniu grinned, "Second brother, don't worry, I've been following the young master for more than a day or two. I'll keep him safe and come back without a hair."
"Set off!"
Chen Tianhua, who was not far away, shouted angrily and started riding.
He didn't like to go around doing things, and he didn't like to make promises. This was unlucky before the battle, although he understood that Chen Er was doing it out of concern and caution.
Song Xiaoniu smiled at Chen Er, "Stop dawdling, the young master is angry!"
"It's better to be angry than to be dead!" Chen Er snorted indifferently:
"Be careful. I joined the New Army a year earlier than you. These horse bandits and bandits are not soft persimmons. They are all veterans who fought to the death in the bloody storm."
"Don't worry..."
Song Xiaoniu jumped on his horse and chased Chen Tianhua.
…
Gu Asan is an old brother who has been under the command of Boss Mu for many years. He used to be Boss Mu's guard and followed him through life and death. Now he is the ninth person in the village and is known as Gu Jiuye in the world.
Of course he doesn't think he's a softie.
As one of the few copycat brothers now, he is one of the few old men who has fought against the Green Camp, the City Defense Camp and the New Army several times.
In his impression, the Qing army was vulnerable, especially the Green Camp and the City Defense Camp. Seeing them was like a mouse seeing a cat, and he never dared to enter the mountains to encircle and suppress them.
Ten days ago, he fought in Tiger Mountain with the Self-Strengthening Army who came to encircle and suppress them.
To be honest, he was not afraid of these new troops in terms of horse warfare and cavalry shooting. He was afraid of their cannons and machine guns. Their firepower was so powerful that his brothers suffered numerous casualties and had no choice but to retreat and become bandits.
What Gu Asan never expected was that Boss Mu and the others had fled into Changxing, but there was the Zhejiang New Army here, and they were also conducting a winter offensive, which made the brothers nervous.
It is said that this new batch of Zhejiang troops seems to be even better and more powerful than the Ziqiang Army.
Because he had experience fighting the new army, this time, he and more than a hundred people were sent out to pretend to be sheep and lure the enemy deeper.
Bandits are fierce, not afraid of death, and come and go like the wind, but their most fatal weakness is their looseness and poor organizational discipline.
It's easy to fight against the wind, and the more you fight, the braver you become.
But once the war goes wrong, many people will run away.
The army is different, with iron discipline and military honor.
The consequences of deserting will be disastrous. Not only will you lose your life, but your family will also be humiliated and suffer.
Therefore, the daily training of the new army is indispensable for formation, formation, charge or retreat.
The training emphasizes, first of all, the spirit of marching forward with military orders like mountains.
Gu Asan still didn't know why Boss Mu took the initiative to confront the Zhejiang New Army, and this time, Boss Mu seemed to be confident.
Maybe it has something to do with the mysterious guy who came to Boss Mu's camp five days ago.
Gu Asan didn't recognize the man, but just by the man's clothes and the tone of his voice, he knew that he was a member of the Hongmen Taihu Gang.
Just looking at the rifles and bullets that had been continuously transported to the camp in the past few days, Gu Asan confirmed his idea.
These guns and ammunition are not available to ordinary people.
You must know that in the cottages that are severely short of firearms and guns, sufficient rifle bullets are often a sign of the strength of a cottage.
This mysterious man can generously give Boss Mu so many bullets, so his background is certainly very unusual.
Ju said he was the chief military advisor of the Taihu Gang.
Of course, nothing good comes for free in this world.
It is rude to come and not reciprocate!
The arrival of these bullets also means that Boss Mu will work for the Hongmen Taihu Gang.
According to Boss Mu, the Hongmen Taihu Gang promised to give them 20,000 taels of silver as the first batch of settlement expenses, and designated Yingzui Mountain as their new village here.
It seems that the Hongmen Taihu Gang has a lot of background. According to Boss Mu, the Taihu Gang is backed by Japanese people.
No wonder, there are guns and money.
It seems that this Japanese took a fancy to this railway or something, so he just carried it up anyway.
This is a good thing.
After killing the new army here, they will not have to worry about money, food and drink in the coal mines in this area.
However, Gu Asan was still very cautious when facing the new army.
After intercepting and killing several New Army scouts, he discovered that nearly 200 New Army troops had come out.
Then he reported the information to Master Mu.
Behind these two hundred cavalry, are there more elite cavalry from the new army?
With his combat experience in previous years, Gu Asan could not easily engage in a head-on battle with the enemy on the opposite side.
What's more, the opponent has an advantage over us in terms of numbers and weapons and equipment.
His mission is only to harass and irritate his opponents, thereby luring them to come in deeper and launch a large-scale attack on Boss Mu's main force.
Behind him, the Hongmen Taihu Gang had already set up a trap.
"Report to Master Jiu." A scout came running on Pegasus, "The target has appeared!"
Gu Asan stood up excitedly, "How many people are there? What kind of equipment are they?"
"Thirty or forty men riding, that is, sabers and rifles."
The scout turned over and dismounted, breathing heavily:
"It looks like they came out to explore the road. Master Jiu, do you want to go up and kill them?!"
"There are about thirty people riding with no heavy weapons, so of course we have to kill them!" Abu Gu's eyes shone and he laughed:
"We have about 140 men and guns here. With one charge, we will eat them all, and then run away. We will definitely anger them again and lead their large group of people into the ambush of the boss!"
"Mount your horse and prepare to fight!" Gu Asan shouted loudly.
"yes…"
A group of horse bandits, each looking like a green-eyed wolf, jumped onto their horses excitedly, feeling as if they were a herd of sheep.
