The refugees also quickly thought, if they had this weapon tied to their arms, would they still be afraid of the bandits?
"I heard that the imperial court has a divine arm bow, which is extremely lethal and scares the real army. Although my sleeve crossbow is not as powerful as the divine arm bow, as long as I master the correct use method, it will not be a problem to kill a group of rabble...
"
Before Gu Mo could finish speaking, someone was already shouting.
"If you let me take this bow to kill bandits, I'm willing to go!"
"Me too! Count me in!"
There were even women and children shouting too.
Now they were not fooled by Li Yanxiu into losing their minds and acting impulsively, but they knew that they might not die, so they made rational choices.
Seeing this, Gu Mo began to make arrangements step by step.
First, let all the refugees unite and gather all the knives that can be used, and then those who can chop down trees can do woodworking, and those who can do carpentry can do carpentry...
In addition, a hundred men were carefully selected to receive training in using bows and crossbows in advance...
It is actually difficult to unite a group of people who are already living a difficult life and do not know each other well. First of all, it is very difficult to get them to hand over the knives in their hands.
At this time, Li Yanxiu's deception skills came in handy again. He gave a profound speech, and everyone took action.
As a result, the refugees divided labor and cooperated, and the old, weak, women and children also joined in and did what they could.
Everyone worked hard, and in three days, they made more than a hundred crossbows and more than a thousand rows of quivers.
The power of the crossbow gave the refugees great hope. As long as they hit the nests of the bandits and robbed the bandits' food, they would have a full meal, so they didn't even feel tired.
After that, Gu Mo conducted actual combat drills and really tried his best to reduce sacrifices.
Before going, he sternly warned those who were going, "I hope everyone will remember that you are not alone now, but a group. You must obey orders and act, and don't act alone!"
"If you encounter special circumstances, you must protect yourself without dragging down your teammates. Our purpose here is not to die, we are here to survive, and we want to live!"
Hasty training will certainly not achieve the effect of strict military discipline, but as long as they do not act without authorization, defeating the bandits will not be a problem.
Finally able to move, Gu Mo asked Li Yanxiu to continue on the road with the old, weak, women and children. They pushed the carts and drove the cattle. They tied a lot of dry grass on the carts and the cattle and covered them with cloths. The refugees also
They were all carrying baggage and looked like they were rich in supplies.
They attracted the attention of the bandits from the front, while Gu Mo led a hundred strong men around to the valley from the side, preparing for a sudden attack on the bandits.
There are bandit scouts in the canyon every day, and they soon saw the group of refugees.
"Hurry back and tell the boss that there is a fat sheep!"
This group of bandits followed the policy of extermination every time. They killed the men and robbed the supplies. Of course, they also did not spare the women and children, and took them back together.
Women can reward their brothers, and the children will be used as food at the critical moment.
However, in a previous operation, several survivors were allowed to exit the canyon, so the news that there were bandits in the canyon was spread.
After the refugees found out, they would rather take a long way around than take this road again. There were no refugees at all in the past few days, leaving them living in a den on the top of the mountain for a few days in vain.
Now I suddenly saw refugees, I didn’t think much about it, I was so excited that I could do something big.
Soon, all the bandits in the bandits' den were in full force.
They laid an ambush in the canyon, waiting for the refugees to enter the canyon with their faces glowing red.
Li Yanxiu led the refugees and walked very slowly, but no matter how slow he walked, he still reached the mouth of the canyon.
But it was very quiet up in the canyon, and the refugees were a little panicked.
"What's going on? Why don't they take action? Do we really want to go in?"
Li Yanxiu lowered his voice and said, "Pass it one by one and tell the people behind you not to panic, to hold on steady and to slow down."
Then Li Yanxiu pretended to be on the safe side and sent a few people to look at the mouth of the canyon.
On the other side, Gu Mo finally led his people to the canyon and found out the bandits' strength and deployment.
The canyon is relatively long and there are not that many bandits, so they are divided into several groups.
So Gu Mo also divided his troops to conduct a sneak attack on the bandits, but left a small group behind in the dead grass to provide support...
Gu Mo Gu Mo led a group of people to sneak attack on the location of the big boss.
At the beginning, everyone used sleeve crossbows for sneak attacks and tried not to confront the bandits head-on, in order to reduce casualties.
But later on, there were not many bandits left. The few who were left were beaten with sleeve crossbows and panicked. They ran for their lives, but were quickly captured alive by the supporting team.
A battle that would have been heavy in casualties started and ended silently. The refugees below did not hear any movement. They were even more panicked and scared, for fear that the people who went for a sneak attack would fail.
The whole army was wiped out.
The crowd was restless, and a vague feeling of uneasiness was spreading.
Until someone suddenly shouted from the top of the canyon, "The battle is over. We have wiped out all the bandits! Go across the canyon and wait for us!"
Immediately under the canyon, a female voice said excitedly: "Oh, this seems to be my man's voice, they succeeded!"
Everyone was happy, but still didn't dare to go there.
It wasn't until his own voice rang out one after another in the canyon that Li Yanxiu also heard Gu Mo's voice, and then he ordered, "Let's go across the canyon quickly!"
Unexpectedly, when we reached the other side of the canyon, it was not that steep, and there was a road leading directly to the top of the canyon.
Li Yanxiu took a few people up to the canyon and saw the corpses of bandits all over the ground.
And Gu Mo was about to ask a few living people where the bandits were.
Li Yanxiu rushed over with excitement on his face
"Brother Gu, brother Gu, if you are tired, please rest first. Leave this matter to me. I guarantee that they will be able to explain it to you within a quarter of an hour..."
Li Yanxiu cheered up and started talking again, intending to use coercion and inducement to force the bandits to tell the truth.
Gu Mo thought he was talking too much, so he raised his hammer and pointed it at a bandit, "Where is your home base? Lead the way!"
The bandit looked at Gu Mo with fear in his eyes, but he still had some courage, "Don't even think about it!"
Gu Mo raised his arm and struck down with the hammer, bandit, dead.
Li Yanxiu, "..."
He silently stepped aside and pursed his lips into a slit, for fear that he would be indebted again.
Gu Mo pointed his hammer at the second bandit, "Lead the way."
The gangster wanted to negotiate terms, but as soon as he expressed his intention, Gu Mo struck him again.
Although human nature in troubled times cannot stand the test, but since you can't stand the test and don't want to be a human being, you are both a murderer and a cannibal, then don't expect other people's kindness to be used on you.
