Not only Yun Chao felt that something was going to happen, Shitou also felt that something was going to happen.
The two of them had been robbed once last time... no, twice. They had become frightened birds. Now they had a huge sum of money, and no one looked like a good person.
Seeing how nervous they were, the remaining three boys couldn't help but look at each other. For the three teenagers who had barely been out, they still didn't realize the real danger.
For safety reasons, Yun Chao stopped not far from the city.
I found a secluded place and took a few boys to practice using the weapons I just bought.
When training in Wolong Village before, everyone used bamboo guns. Now they use real standard spears. The weight and length are different, so it takes some time to adapt.
Yun Chao first led everyone to practice thrusting for a while, and then began to tinker with the crossbows.
Just like many young people in later generations are fond of firearms, Shitou and the others are obviously more interested in crossbows than long guns.
Although crossbowmen are not as demanding as archers, they cannot be mastered in a short time.
Fortunately, Yun Chao was well-informed and quickly figured out how to operate.
First, I taught a few boys how to wind the string, and then they figured out how to launch it.
It took nearly half an hour for several people to barely learn how to operate it.
Bang!
A crossbow arrow hit a big tree ten meters away. The arrow vibrated and buzzed.
Half of the crossbow bolts penetrated the tree trunk, and everyone looked at each other in shock. They didn't expect this thing to be so powerful.
This is still a tough tree. If it shoots someone...
Don't dare to think, don't dare to think!
Before, when a few boys were playing with crossbows, they were a little careless.
Now when I look at a few more crossbows, my eyes are different. This is a real murder weapon!
Regardless of damaging the crossbow arrows, Yun Chao asked everyone to test-fire ten times.
At first, several boys couldn't hit the target at all.
Even if the distance is only ten meters, the crossbow arrow will miss the big tree.
Later, I finally managed to hit the target, but it was all crooked and unskilled at all.
Yun Chao asked everyone to put away their crossbows, get in the car and leave.
Time is limited, so we can only do this. If you want to be proficient in stringing a crossbow during a battle, you must go through long-term training and form a conditioned reflex. Otherwise, if you are nervous during a battle, you will immediately stop.
Just in case, Yun Chao asked everyone to load the string first. If there is danger, they can pick up the crossbow and fire it directly.
This approach is very harmful to the crossbow. Under normal circumstances, when there is no battle, neither the bow nor the crossbow is stringed, otherwise the tension of the bow and crossbow will gradually weaken.
There is no way, for the sake of safety, Yunchao can only sacrifice the life of the weapon. Compared with people, losing some property is nothing.
During the training just now, Yun Chao had asked Shitou to tell everyone about the last attack.
Jia Mancang and the others are now more nervous than Shitou and Yun Chao.
Good guy, I thought this guy Shitou would be having a great time following Yun Chao, but it turns out he worked hard to get there!
Nervousness means nervousness, fear means fear, but no one really backs down.
We are all young people, and our blood is not yet cold. Since Shitou can follow Yun Chao to kill the robbers, why can't they?
Why new drivers drive so hard is because they have seen too few accidents and newborn calves are not afraid of tigers.
If you have been a soldier for a long time and become a veteran, you will start to be afraid of death. Those people are often the ones who run away on the battlefield.
In order to deceive others, Yun Chao asked everyone to put the crossbow arrows on the bullock cart and cover them with thatch.
The long gun was also covered with purchased cotton cloth, leaving only a single sword for self-defense.
The spears and crossbows are really conspicuous. Don't call in the bandits, but call in the officers and soldiers first.
"Everyone, please be careful. There are jungles ahead. The second brother and I met the robbers there last time. You don't know how thrilling it was..."
After listening to Shitou's reminder, everyone, including Yun Chao, was extremely careful.
To be on the safe side, Yun Chao stopped riding a donkey and sat on an ox cart like everyone else.
As the two bullock carts approached the jungle, everyone became more and more nervous.
Not to mention others, even Yun Chao's own heart was beating fast. The more unknown he was, the more fear he felt.
However, even after waiting for the two bullock carts to pass through the jungle, no robbers jumped out of the woods.
Seeing more and more fields on both sides, everyone, including Yun Chao, breathed a sigh of relief.
"call……"
"Shitou, you must have lied to us. How could there be any robbers?"
"Yeah, yeah, Shitou, let's stop making jokes like this in the future, okay? It's not fun at all!"
"Huh, Shitou, if you talk nonsense again in the future, I have no fun with you!"
"..."
Everyone is accusing Stone of talking nonsense.
However, Yun Chao could tell that the boys were scared and were venting their inner fears.
Being questioned by everyone, Shitou was so angry that his face turned red and his neck was thick. If he hadn't been in a hurry to catch the car, he would have had a fight with a few boys.
"Okay, okay, stop making trouble. Stone didn't lie to you. Look, this sharp knife was collected from the robber. I also used it to kill someone."
With that said, Yun Chao took out his sharp knife and shook it.
Under the sunlight, the sharp knife in Yun Chao's hand reflected the cold light. I don't know if it was a psychological effect, but the boys felt a strong bloody smell coming towards their faces. They immediately shut their mouths and never dared to look at the stone again. fire.
Shitou is the first and most loyal to Yun Chao. Yun Chao must maintain his authority, otherwise he will easily break the rules.
However, not long after the few people relaxed, they heard a roar and a group of people jumped out from a small forest beside the road.
There are many trees in the wild, forming a forest. This forest is very small, much smaller than the previous chaotic forest. I didn't expect so many people to be hidden.
There were more than a dozen people, all holding sticks, knives and guns, and two holding bows and arrows. Each of them had a fierce look and a ferocious face. It was definitely not a good thing at first glance!
Yun Chao and Shitou were fine. After all, after their last experience, Jia Mancang and the others were in trouble. Their faces were all pale, their eyes were stiff, their lips were trembling, and their hands and feet were inoperable!
With a quick glance, Yun Chao knew that something was going to happen. Except for Shi Shi, all the boys were dizzy.
We can't wait any longer. Once the other party rushes forward, the unlucky behavior of these boys will definitely end!
To strike first is to be strong, but to strike later is to suffer disaster.
No matter what these guys do, jumping out of the woods with weapons in hand, even if they are not bandits, they are not good people!
"Do it!"
Before the other party could speak, Yun Chao took action.
While roaring angrily, Yun Chao picked up the crossbow at hand, tried hard to calm his pounding heart, aimed at an archer on the other side, and clicked the trigger of the crossbow!
