Chapter 77 The Consciousness of Escape

? The Mongol army was defeated in a battle among the mountains controlled by the Musaiyi people, not only did they lose their troops and even one of their princes died, which surprised all the surrounding forces. Especially a newly emerging force, if it were to be said, this force was a bit like the gypsies in Europe.

They have a very long fleet of vehicles, each car is equipped with two drivers, and two bright small car lights on both sides of the driver, which means that they are people who stop. In addition, they are vehicles that transport people. They are just flatbed cars that pull sections, with small glass windows installed. Matches, gas lights, and glass windows, which are the things that mark the civilization transporting from Huaxia Island to the outside world, have many of these big trucks.

However, this is not a civilized convoy. In the vehicles equipped with glass windows, some craftsmen are installed. Every night when they stop, they will use their houses to build some muskets. Of course, it is not a long-barrel musket, but muskets used by musket cavalry. Others are sweeping away the silt and making gunpowder. Some craftsmen are watching and measuring around a disassembled "Flying Swallow Iii-type crossbow".

Unfortunately, they don’t know that metric units like China are. They use a Song ruler. They can measure it clearly, but the accuracy is worse. Martin is also different from measuring tools that are too precise, but he has made three types. The first is balance, which is widely used in medicines, chemical production, etc. The other two are micrometers and vernier cards. Of course, there are no need to expect that thing to be more precise than modern measuring tools, but in this world, it is the most precise thing.

The person who came was Zhao Xu's subordinates. Although these craftsmen did not understand modern metric units, they were very concerned about studying this matter. Under Zhao Xu, they ate the best meals and lived the best life. Although they were afraid of fighting occasionally, the battle was always quite far from them. Therefore, they were also dedicated to Zhao Xu's request. In addition, they also received a lot of helpers in the small towns captured along the way, including many skillful teenagers.

However, they were still worried at this moment, because Zhao Xu said that they could not figure out the "Flying Swallow Iii-type crossbows" and the shells they used, so their families would all cut off their heads. This scared these craftsmen, and in addition, their lives were also good. After leaving Bosaro, they were riding horses at first, but then after Zhao Xu used the reincarnation cannon to open the gates of several cities, they had these big cars.

Strictly speaking, Zhao Xu can no longer be considered a force at this moment, but the leader of a robber tribe. After his army conquered several small cities in succession, it had reached a number of 40,000. However, among these 40,000 people, he brought out only more than 10,000 troops. Along the way, he plundered materials, troops, and population in various cities.

Looting the army is a new term, but it is indeed the case. Because the Mamluk cavalry is not truly loyal to anyone, they are slave cavalry, and they are mercenary cavalry with salaries. Only after they reach Zhao Xu's subordinates did this change. The new and veterans were dispersed and mixed together, and Zhao Xu's veterans were relatively stable.

This originated from a special method by Hassan, the owner of Ziyun Manor, which is the "money house". When Bosaro was just established, Zhao Xu's subordinates continued to sell Huangshacheng products. At that time, Zhao Xu used this method, which was to encourage his subordinates to invest all the "money" into the money house he controlled. The main business of this so-called money house is to sell Huangshacheng goods.

But soon they discovered another new business, which was to lend money. Lend money to merchants and draw profits from their operations. This advanced business method made Zhao Xu make a small fortune in Bosaro. But the most important thing is that his army was willing to fight for him. In fact, it was also to fight for their common business. Obviously, the power of money is much greater than that of religion, so many Mamluk cavalry captured by Zhao Xu quickly became his subordinates. Compared with being sold to slaves, being a shareholder is obviously a better choice.

With a group of soldiers who dared to fight, plus the reincarnation cannon and raindrop cannon, Zhao Xu still stole some things along the way. And what is most difficult to understand is how Zhao Xu could stop the car? This will start from the third day after they escaped from Bosaro, because on that day Hassan, the owner of Ziyun Village, took nearly 100 large cars and some warriors from his village to catch up with Zhao Xu's team.

That evening, it was time for supper. Zhao Xu, who lost Bosaro and lost his father, left his station wagon with a depressed heart. Looking at the injured soldiers under him, he didn't know where to go. He was thinking about seeking refuge with the Mongols, but he was afraid that the Mongols would ignore him, the defeated general, at all. That was a huge problem.

"Mr. Xu, our post found a large convoy, and they seemed to be looking for us!"

For the past three days, Zhao Xu was in panic all day long, fearing that Zhao Fubo's army would catch up with him. So for the past three days, he would rush his men to get up as soon as the sky was dawn and then act quickly. Although it was only three days, many injured people and injured horses had fallen out of the line or died. The continuous march also made everyone tired and unable to bear it. If there were pursuers now, Zhao Xu was worried that his men would be dispersed like this.

"Big fleet?"

At first, the worry disappeared because of this word. After all, the large convoy is not as terrifying as the cavalry team. What satisfied Zhao Xu was that the owner of Ziyun Village was Hassan, who came to him soon.

"Master Xu, I heard about Bosaro the next day, so I hurriedly sold the property on the farm and chased you all the way! My Master Xu, you have been away for three days, why are you still here?"

Hassan's words made Zhao Xu have some questions. The road they walked in three days should not be less than anyone else. Why did they look completely worried when they spoke it from Hassan?

"What, have Erlang Fubo's cavalry been sent out? Alas, of course, the large convoy does not run fast without the cavalry!"

Zhao Xu was so worried that he almost cried, but he didn't know that Hassan's words gave him another hope.

"Master Xu, we are running for life. If you want to say that you are running for life, you must have the awareness of running for life!"
