Chapter 174 Look at your future
"Coach, they have gunpowder bombs. They are in the mountain col. They are throwing gunpowder bombs down there. We can't resist it now..." Xiao Qizhang's fearful voice became much sharper.
When the rebel coach heard this, his face suddenly turned darker.
"You said, this caravan has our gunpowder bombs?"
"I, I, I..." Xiao Qi Zhang stumbled and nodded, swallowing hard: "Back to the coach, yes, they have gunpowder bombs."
"Come here, check it out for me."
The coach had a gloomy look on his face: "At this juncture, if I knew of any bold guy who dared to secretly sell weapons, I would definitely light up his whole family with sky lanterns!"
"Yes, coach!"
Xiaoqi Zhang, who had narrowly escaped death, did not dare to express his anger and huddled aside, shivering.
On the rebel side, they searched again and again until the next day, but still couldn't find out anything.
The gunpowder bombs were not stolen, and no one secretly sold them. Even the two or three missing ones were within the normal loss range.
Although no theft was found, the rebel commander was so angry that he beheaded the flag commander guarding the gunpowder bombs.
After all, losing two or three pieces is still a loss. What if these two or three pieces fell into the hands of this caravan?
The rebels even began to wonder whether the people in the Ermao Mountains were disguised as imperial troops.
Otherwise, at such a critical moment as the siege of Yancheng, how could a caravan crash into him at such a good time and wipe out his two bannermen and horses.
Even the defenders in Yancheng didn't have any gunpowder and ammunition. How could a caravan have gunpowder and ammunition? !
At this time, this side of the mountain col.
From last night to today, Lu Xiaohao only met Baitao after breakfast.
He mentioned it several times yesterday, but was rejected by the people guarding the entrance of the camp.
"Our aunt is exhausted."
"Our aunt is asleep."
Finally, he simply said: "We are so busy right now. Our aunt has no time to see anyone, so please don't cause trouble."
The reason why the people in Taohua Village rejected Lu Xiaohao was also very simple. He and Yang Song ran away without saying a word, and then came back.
Under such circumstances, let him see Baitao, unless the people in Peach Blossom Village are crazy.
"Miss Bai."
Just as Lu Xiaohao said hello, Bai Dashan said: "Hey, five pounds of crayfish, didn't you run away? Why are you back again?"
Yang Song stared at you, and then you ran away. Your whole family ran away. He argued angrily: "We went to inquire about the news."
When Baitao heard this, he also smiled: "Thank you for the information."
Although, even without this news, the result will not change, but the speed of the battle still matters.
"It's good that Miss Bai knows that we are not bad people."
"They didn't let us in yesterday." Yang Song curled his lips and muttered unhappily: "Also, we don't call them Five Catties Crayfish. Our young master's name is... our young master's surname..."
Lu Xiaohao said: "Miss Bai, my surname is Lu."
As he spoke, he carefully observed Baitao's expression.
When Yang Song heard what his master said, his expression suddenly changed and he looked at Baitao hurriedly.
However, Baitao's expression did not change at all. She just nodded and said, "Hello."
"By the way, I just happened to have someone make some crayfish. Let me get you some crayfish too."
"We are not..." Yang Song thought he was calling them crayfish when he heard it, and subconsciously jumped to his feet, but he didn't realize it until he was halfway through the sentence.
He nodded hurriedly: "Yes, we want it, we are crayfish."
Baitao: "..."
Lu Xiaohao couldn't help but want to hold his forehead: "..."
Bai Dashan also looked at Yang Song with a disgusted expression, looking at your future. Yang Song was about to cry, but quickly explained: "I mean, crayfish is delicious, we like it very much."
Crayfish are delicious to begin with. He hasn't eaten them for a while. When he heard that there were some today, wasn't this his reaction?
Bai Dashan: "For the two of you, let me give each of you five kilograms of crayfish."
Lu Xiaohao and Yang Song: "..." They couldn't help but suspect that Bai Dashan did it on purpose.
Why is it five kilograms and not four kilograms or six kilograms, eight kilograms, or ten kilograms?
Well, I guess Bai Dashan won't be able to part with the ten or eight catties, and four catties is too little, so five catties will be five.
Yang Song carried two food baskets, totaling ten kilograms of crayfish, and left behind Lu Xiaohao.
The two of them walked for a while before he realized what was happening: "Sir, we seem to have something serious to say."
"Yeah." Lu Xiaohao glanced at him: "I thought you only had crayfish in your eyes."
When Yang Song heard this, he was even more embarrassed.
Lu Xiaohao would never admit it. He just remembered it and hadn't asked the Baijiabao caravan's next plan.
Naturally, the rebels were not willing to be defeated by the Baijiapu caravan, so they sent two banners to Ermao Mountain.
Originally I wanted to send one flag, but after thinking about the situation yesterday, it was safer to send two flags.
The two idiots yesterday were too eager to celebrate their success and were not careful. Now, the rebel coach specially sent a man who was brave and capable to lead the team.
Someone on the mountain col has been paying attention to what's going on down the mountain, and the telescope allowed the rebels to be discovered from a long distance.
The people following him quickly reported the news, and soon Bai Dashan hurried to Baitao's tent.
"Auntie, are you asleep?"
Baitao was eating peaches when he heard Bai Dashan's deliberately lowered voice at the tent door, so he came out holding half a peach.
"What's wrong?"
"Hello, auntie." Bai Dashan called out respectfully before going on to explain what he had discovered.
Baitao is not surprised that the rebels will come again. After all, if you don't get punished two or three times, how can you be convinced?
This is also the reason why she did not give the order to go down the mountain today.
Instead of encountering the rebels after going down the mountain and being surrounded and beaten because they couldn't find a good position, it would be better to just sit back and wait for work.
The rebels climbed halfway up the mountain, and even if no one was tired and the horse was exhausted, it would not be easy.
No matter what, if you fight from a high position to a low position, your chances of winning are still much greater.
"Are you here? Then do it again according to yesterday's arrangement."
With the geographical location here, we can only cut off the enemy in the middle, block the rear team, and destroy the front team.
She bought so many powerful things, including flash bombs, impact trigger bombs, and explosive arrows, all of which would be deadly weapons when released.
People in Peach Blossom Village need to be fast, strong, and have experience in killing enemies and bandits. There is no reason why this would not work.
Bai Dashan nodded: "Yes, the rebels may not have thought that we still have some useless spikes and stones."
"Auntie, please take a good rest, I will make arrangements right away."
With that said, Bai Dashan was about to leave.
"Dashan, wait a moment."
Baitao took out two big peaches from his satchel and stuffed them into his hands: "Here, you can try some too." If you want a horse to run, you have to feed it.
As an aunt who only eats and does nothing, she is somewhat embarrassed.
Then, Baitao waved her little hand: "Go!"
I saw the comments from the cuties.
