Under the guidance of Ren Ning, Lei Er and Ma Dali took turns using the telescope.
At first, the two of them were just curious, but soon their faces became distorted.
The shock on their faces did not recover for a long time until they put down the telescopes in their hands.
In an instant, the two of them understood the huge role of this telescope.
"Old Ren," after a long while, Lei Er rubbed his hands in confusion: "How did you make this clairvoyance? Do you still have it in your hand?"
Gudong.
Ma Dali, who was next to him, swallowed his saliva, stretched his neck uncontrollably, and stared at Ren Ning closely.
"I don't have any more. But the fortress is being trial-produced." Ren Ning said with a smile: "It's just that it's very expensive. The quantity shouldn't be too much."
Lei Er and Lei Er suddenly looked gloomy.
They are just middle-level generals. If the number of telescopes is not large, they will not be distributed to them at all.
"Work hard to earn military merit." Ren Ning laughed.
The two men went to inspect the convoy with dark faces.
When they were far away, Ren Ning raised his telescope and looked towards the continuous Luoxia Mountains.
The mountains to the east are covered with brilliant sunset light, and they are dazzling.
However, even the dark night could not damage Ren Ning's golden fingers, so naturally this little bit of sunshine would not have any effect either.
He looked at it carefully and soon frowned.
There were hundreds of red dots hidden in the dense forest halfway up the mountain ahead.
If it were on the Xiliang grassland, so many red dots gathered together would most likely be a pack of wolves. But appearing in the Luoxia Mountains is undoubtedly a bandit.
Ren Ning argued carefully.
Only then did I realize that the bandits’ numerical values were not very high. The highest red value is only 65, only one or two have more than 60, and the others are all around 30.
A group of bandits.
Just a bunch of hungry or exhausted bandits.
Ren Ning quickly summoned some soldiers to keep the fortress soldiers alert.
He waited another half-quarter of an hour, then raised his telescope and looked forward.
There were bandits Lu Lu Lu who continued to climb over from the back mountain. The number of people on the mountainside had increased to more than two hundred, but still no one with too much force appeared.
Ma Dali and Lei Er got the news and drove their horses over.
"Commander, are there bandits in the forest ahead?" Ma Dali said in a somewhat disbelieving tone.
Their convoy consisted of more than 200 vehicles and nearly 400 people. Just looking at this formation, the bandits nearby probably don't have the guts to show up.
"It doesn't matter if there are bandits in him or not, just send someone up to take a look." Lei Er didn't think much about it, "Old Ren, let me use my clairvoyance again."
"I just took a quick look around and didn't notice anyone hiding on the mountain."
Ren Ning ignored Lei Er.
There were fifty-one soldiers, and he was the only one who was the scout.
We can't let him, a security commander, relinquish his command authority and go up the mountain to investigate the situation himself. Sending other people with no scouting experience up was nothing more than a warning.
Ren Ning explained the situation on the mountain.
"More than two hundred bandits?" Ma Dali breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the sound.
"That shouldn't be a bandit." He explained with a smile.
"There are several nests of bandits in the Luoxia Mountains, but they are not large in number. Moreover, they do not get along well with each other and often attack each other for territory. Therefore, unless they do not want their old nest, they will not and dare not go out in full force. "
"If there are really more than 200 bandits in the forest in front, then this bandit den will have more than 600 to 800 people. And if so many people can gather in a bandit den, the imperial court will never turn a blind eye and will definitely send troops to annihilate them. .”
Ren Ning was noncommittal and raised the telescope to look again.
The number of people on the mountainside in front no longer increased, but they had no intention of going down the mountain. However, the bright red scene is alarming.
He first assessed the situation between the two parties and shrugged his nose, "It smells so delicious. Is dinner ready?"
Lei Er smacked his lips and said, "We have been running all day and have been looking forward to eating and resting. So we cooked quickly. The caravan has already started eating."
Ren Ning raised his head again and glanced at the quiet forest in front of him, "Come down and tell the brothers to keep their weapons close to their bodies, eat quickly, and be ready to fight at any time."
Since the bandits had no intention of moving for the time being, Ren Ning ignored them.
And the Luoxia Mountain in front is a bit steep. It's easy to rush down the mountain, but it's very troublesome to rush up the mountain. The bandits only have so much force value. No matter how many people there are, they are just a mob. It won't be too late to take care of them when they come down.
If it is true that what Ma Dalong said is not bandits, or the target of this group of people is not them.
That would be best.
The three of them got off their horses and walked towards the nearest meal spot.
When a female member of the fortress saw them coming, she happily poured three bowls of steaming soup out of the pot.
"Thank you for your hard work, Commander! The Gu family's caravan sent a lot of mutton. Let's make some soup and drink it while it's hot."
"Thank you!" Ren Ning nodded, and as soon as he took the bowl, his expression suddenly changed.
boom!
He suddenly smashed the soup and bowl to the ground, "Don't drink it, the soup is poisonous."
The people around him were startled and turned to look over.
Lei Er usually likes to mess around with things and has trouble finding the right ones, but this time he followed Ren Ning and smashed the bowl without any hesitation.
"Put down your bowls. The rice is poisonous!"
There were soldiers, women and children from the fortress nearby. Nine times out of ten, they had seen all kinds of murderous tactics and put down the food in their hands without hesitation.
"If you have eaten, use mare's milk or cow's or goat's milk to induce vomiting immediately. Quick!"
"The others grab their weapons and prepare to fight."
All the soldiers shook their heads, with faces full of joy, "The convoy is too long, everyone has been patrolling, and we haven't had time to touch the food."
Wow.
The women and children who had touched the food did not say a word and started vomiting as hard as they could.
The news spread quickly.
The Gu family's caravan was in an uproar as they didn't know whether it was true or false.
The pale-faced Gu Shengnan hurried over with two doctors and four guards.
"Commander Ren, you said the food was poisonous?"
"The food is all freshly cooked and the sheep are freshly killed. How could it be poisonous?"
She hasn't finished speaking yet.
boom!
A guard behind him rolled his eyes and fell straight down.
Everyone was shocked.
There is no need for Ren Ning to talk nonsense now.
"Why are the two doctors still in a daze? Hurry up and check what kind of poison you have been poisoned with, and find a way to detoxify it!"
"The ancient Shang leader sent people back to induce vomiting on all those who had eaten."
After saying that, Ren Ning jumped on top of the nearest carriage.
After scanning around with the telescope, I felt a little calmer.
He jumped off the carriage and onto the horse again, shouting loudly.
"Starfall!"
Wow!
Two-thirds of the fifty fortress soldiers who returned home were not from Xingluo, but after traveling together these days, they had already become accustomed to Ren Ning's orders, so they jumped on their horses and came over to line up.
"Ma Qianchang, you and the twenty-five people behind you will guard the heroic spirit and the female family members."
"The others follow me."
Buzz!
The team divided into two lines without a word, each doing his or her duties.
"Master," the two accompanying doctors from the Gu family's caravan quickly checked the fallen guard. The two of them made eye contact and said hesitantly: "Guard Liang seems to have been hit by Mongolian sweat medicine."
"Seems like?" Ma Dali, who was left behind, made a sound and coldly flicked the machete in his hand.
The two doctors shrank their necks: "General, the examination time is too urgent, and my medical skills..."
If their medical skills were good enough to be able to sit on one side, they wouldn't have to follow the caravans traveling thousands of miles from east to west, north and south to earn a living. Wouldn't it be nice to sit in a medical clinic?
Gu Shengnan was worthy of being a traveling business leader, and he quickly calmed down.
"Then treat it as if you've been poisoned by Mongolian sweat medicine and try to detoxify it!"
"Others continued to induce vomiting."
After saying that, she climbed onto the top of a carriage and looked far away in the direction where Ren Ning and the others left.
