As soon as Butler Liang came back from Zhou Qi's office, he immediately arranged for the guys in the motorcade to prepare for the guys.
It's a pity that these guys are good at work, but not good at fighting. There are no rich weapons in the fleet for these guys to use.
Several knives prepared in advance in the convoy were also snatched up by the fast-moving guys.
Shopkeeper Liang looked at the waiters in front of him who didn't know what to do like headless flies. He couldn't help but said: "There is a forest next to it. Those who don't have a guy in their hands will all go to the woods to find sticks to use."
Looking at these guys who had no idea what to do, he just felt a headache.
Fortunately, after hearing his words, these guys ran into the nearby woods to find suitable sticks to use as weapons.
The dead branches scattered on the ground cannot be used as weapons, but are only suitable for making fire. Therefore, if you want to have a strong and durable stick, you can only use branches that grow on trees.
The whole forest was completely destroyed as each man had a stick in his hand.
Shopkeeper Liang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that most of the waiters had wooden sticks in their hands.
He didn't know how useful these wooden sticks would be in the end, but having these wooden sticks gave him some confidence.
If you want to protect the convoy, you still have to look to Zhou Qiguan and the others.
"Those of you who are holding weapons will follow me. The others will stay by the cart." Shopkeeper Liang pointed to the men holding weapons.
Then, he turned around and walked towards where Zhou Qiguan was.
Several guys followed quickly.
When he walked over, Zhou Qiguan had already put on his mail armor and was feeding the war horses with other servants.
"The guys don't have any decent weapons at all. Zhou Qiguan, can you spare some weapons for the guys in the convoy to use." Shopkeeper Liang came to Zhou Qiguan and asked for weapons.
Most of the weapons in the convoy were concentrated in the hands of people like Zhou Qiguan. Apart from asking people like Zhou Qiguan to get them, he couldn't think of where else to find decent weapons.
Zhou Qiguan was holding a handful of black beans in his hand and feeding his war horse. He turned to look at Shopkeeper Liang and said indifferently: "Even if the weapons are given to you and the guys from the Liang family, will they dare to kill people with them?"
Shopkeeper Liang choked up.
The man's job is okay, but killing is not something that ordinary people can do. Even if he is given a knife now, he may not dare to kill people with it.
When Zhou Qiguan saw this, he snorted coldly and said: "Those guys from the Liang family can only use wooden sticks. It's a waste to have weapons."
As he spoke, he glanced at the few guys brought by Shopkeeper Liang.
These guys all held iron weapons in their hands, and they were the only weapons in the convoy that did not belong to Zhou Qiguan and others.
"It's okay if you have spare weapons that you can't use." Shopkeeper Liang didn't dare to force it, he just hoped that the other party would have spare weapons for them to use.
"No."
Zhou Qiguan withdrew his gaze and concentrated on feeding the war horse in front of him, no longer paying attention to Shopkeeper Liang.
Shopkeeper Liang stood aside with an embarrassed look on his face.
After a while, shopkeeper Liang couldn't help but said: "The soldiers and horses of the Tiger Flag are all infantry. If the people of the Tiger Flag want to get here, I'm afraid it will take some time. Mr. Zhou, see if you can let the convoy Leave first."
"Unless we leave the car and the goods here, we won't be able to leave." Zhou Qiguan turned his head and looked at Shopkeeper Liang aside, and continued, "With so much goods loaded on the car, even if the tiger-character flag comes, they are all infantry. , but as long as we follow the ruts we left, we will catch up sooner or later."
Shopkeeper Liang said with a worried look: "There are thousands of people in the Tiger Flag, and we have less than 200 people. The only people who can fight are Zhou Qiguan and you, and the others are just guys. It's not a Tiger Flag battle at all." Soldier’s opponent.”
"That's why we have to stay here." Zhou Qiguan grabbed another handful of black beans from his pocket and said while feeding the war horse, "You can stay here and wait for work. If you want to leave with the convoy, there is only a dead end."
Shopkeeper Liang opened and closed his mouth a few times, but said nothing.
There was no way he could abandon his cargo and run for his life alone.
Zhou Qiguan used his free hand to comb the horse's mane and said at the same time: "Shopkeeper Liang should go back and prepare to meet the enemy. This is not the Ming Dynasty. On this grassland, if you want to survive, you have to fight hard. "
At this moment, Zheng Da rode a horse and galloped from a distance.
Call!
Zheng Da pulled on the reins and controlled the horse under him to stop. He said from the horse's back: "The soldiers and horses of the Tiger Character Flag are less than ten miles away from here."
"So fast!" Shopkeeper Liang was surprised.
Only an hour had passed, and the soldiers and horses of the Tiger Flag had already approached the forest where their convoy had stopped, and their marching speed was faster than he imagined.
"Everyone mount up and follow me to meet the enemy." Zhou Qiguan shouted to the people around him.
The servants who had been guarding the war horses all got on their horses at this time and took out their weapons.
Zhou Qiguan mounted his green fur war horse and said to Shopkeeper Liang who was standing aside: "Shopkeeper Liang, it's better to get ready early! When the tiger-character flag soldiers and horses arrive, they won't be helpless to fight back. drive!"
After saying that, he knocked the horse's belly and controlled the horse to leave from the side.
The other servants followed him on horseback.
Shopkeeper Liang watched Zhou Qiguan and others ride away, and then he said to the few waiters around him: "You all heard what Zhou Qiguan said just now. If you want to survive, you have to fight hard."
Since he failed to obtain a weapon from Zhou Qiguan, the few guys with weapons around him became his biggest support.
Compared with those guys who only have wooden sticks as weapons, he values these guys holding sharp blades more.
As soon as Zhou Qiguan and others left, the surrounding area became empty.
Shopkeeper Liang walked towards the cart and goods.
After walking a few steps, he suddenly stopped, turned around, and said to the guys next to him: "Don't even think about escaping. This is a grassland, surrounded by desolate places. Once you encounter a pack of wolves, you will only die more." awful."
After saying that, he walked towards the other guys.
There is strength in numbers. At least when there are many people, it can make him feel a little more secure.
Zhou Qiguan took all the servants with him.
Soon, they met the sentries sent by the Tiger Flag on the grassland a few miles away.
The hands stopped in perfect agreement.
No one moved closer.
"May I ask if you are from the Tiger Flag?" Zhou Banner shouted loudly, looking at the cavalry a few hundred steps away in front of him.
One of the cavalrymen on the opposite side urged the horse to take a few steps forward, faced Zhou Banner directly and said, "Yes, we are from the Tiger Flag."
Zheng Da had already led the team that had approached the Tiger Flag before, and his identity was no longer a secret, so he admitted it calmly.
