Chapter 21 Sniper
On a tree-lined path outside London, a carriage was slowly moving forward. There were two large brown horses in the box carriage. A middle-aged coachman in his forties sat on the front of the carriage. A musketeer sat on each side.
The musketeer had a sports white shirt inside, and a thin iron breastplate on the outside, which was bulging at a 15-degree angle and was polished to shine. A draped red uniform was buckled on the shoulders of the breastplate, and the two of them wore long leather gloves on their hands, and an infrared black velvet cloak on the outside.
The two musketeers were a little drowsy on this hot afternoon, especially when the breeze in the tree-lined path blew on their faces, the sleepiness became even stronger. However, the charming female voice from the carriage made the two of them feel like they were scratching a cat and mice, and they could not sleep.
The two looked at each other and saw a trace of helplessness in each other's eyes. However, the coachman turned a deaf ear to what happened in the box carriage and focused on driving his carriage. He was an old servant brought by the master from Essex and had become used to his master's licentious life. Unlike these two musketeers appointed by the queen to protect the master, he even made a fuss. In order for the master to enjoy his life, he even slowed down the carriage and drove more smoothly.
"Sir, they are here!" Rashe came from the end of the road panting.
After determining the route of the warship supervisor to return to the manor as before, Blackney and Rashe walked around the nearest road to meet Xu Mo and the others. Now they were ambushing at a corner of the tree-lined path.
Xu Mo and his friends did nothing during the waiting period. After confirming that the supervisors and officials passed by, they chose the intercepted terrain, which was a corner close to 45 degrees in the inner corner of a tree-lined path.
It has to be said that Blackney once again played a huge role. As a professional sailing candidate, when encountering an enemy, using the mathematical and geometric knowledge in his mind to judge the enemy's travel time, intercept the location, and use the terrain and weather, it has become a kind of Blackney's instinct.
Although the mathematical knowledge taught in the Naval Academy in this era is far from comparable to the real world where Xu Mo is located, Xu Mo, who has more mathematical knowledge, cannot instinctively integrate this knowledge into the combat layout like Blackney.
Blackney chose this corner as the interception site. Xu Mo asked the sailors to use the sailor axe to cut off a big tree and place it at the corner. However, Blackney asked to drag the big tree back and place it about ten meters behind the corner. Xu Mo observed for a while and agreed to his plan.
The big tree was placed behind the corner, and the direction of the carriage was unaware, so the interception effect would be better. Xu Mo was very glad that Blackney could come to help him. Originally, he just hoped that Blackney could use his youth to spy on the information he needed. Unexpectedly, the skills that a real sailing officer possessed benefited a lot from other aspects of the plan.
Xu Mo's plan to recruit Blackney and Rashew, in addition to using their youth as spies to spy on intelligence, the more important reason was to help the two of them. Rashew was an honest young man with little ambition, but he just needed money to improve his and his sister's living conditions. Blackney wanted to become an excellent naval officer. This important task was a rare opportunity for both of them to realize their ideals.
After everything was arranged, Xu Mo ordered Rashui to check the arrival time of the carriage in front, while Blackney was placed behind him, paying attention to the abnormal situation behind at any time. The implementation of the entire plan has nothing to do with the two of them, and the next thing will be Xu Mo and the other three people.
"Lashu, go back to the front, don't worry about the carriage. After the carriage passes, you must always pay attention to the situation in front of the tree-lined path. If you have any accidents, come and notify us!" Xu Mo licked his dry lips and whispered.
"We're finally here, why are there so many mosquitoes in this damn English countryside?" Frieza, who leaned against the big tree beside the road, cursed in a low voice, rubbed the barrel of the musket in his hand and rubbed his neck.
"You idiot, be careful of getting out of fire!" Kaiy slapped Frisa's musket on his neck. Among these people, Xu Mo and Yahan are reincarnations and have not spent much time with everyone. Blackney is an alternate non-commissioned officer. In addition, he is still young and has not had much contact with sailors. Only Frisa and Kaiy are the comrades who have been together for the longest time and have the best relationship.
The musket in Frieza's hand was one of the muskets that Xu Mo asked Rashe to return to the battleship and find Hedram to come after he decided to take action. During the previous intelligence investigation stage, they did not carry any weapons except the knife on their bodies, but since they decided to take action, Xu Mo asked everyone to bring two muskets and a scimitar.
"Silence!" Xu Mo said in a low voice, looking at the two of them with a stern look. The two were glared by Xu Mo, shrinking their necks, and dared not make any sound. After Xu Mo arrived on the Vistalos, the harsh and cold image he deliberately established had been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. In addition, he was the leader and brave in combat, and he has basically been respected by all sailors now.
As long as he can clearly reward and punish sailors who perform well in his future tasks, he can still gain their love, and he is already a successful leader.
"Da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da!" The sound of horse hooves gradually increased from far to near, and the prey was about to enter the cage.
"Put on your mask!" Xu Mo whispered.
Although both the Swedes and the English people belonged to the ancient Germanic people, one formed the Scandinavian people and the other was merged into the English people by the Anglos and Saxons. Under the influence of different geographical environments and weather conditions over the decades, the body shape and appearance of the two still changed significantly.
After noticing this, Xu Mo asked them to sew a simple linen mask on their own. It was just the first time that Xu Mo was a Robin Hood, but he still felt an uneasy feeling in his heart. It was just that time was urgent, which made him have no time to think and find other flaws.
"Yu Yuyu!" After the carriage slowly turned around the corner, they saw the big tree blocking the middle of the road ahead. Two horses stood up involuntarily. The people on the carriage were caught off guard and rolled into a ball.
"Open the fire!" Xu Mo shouted sternly.
"Bang, bang, bang!" The muskets in the hands of several people opened fire one after another, and the targets were first of all the coachman, followed by two musketeers.
The battle ended quickly, and the coachman was the first to die. He was directly hit by a lead bullet. The blood in his eye socket was like a little kid urinating in a game. It flew several meters away and fell on the seat. This was Frieza's masterpiece.
Although the two musketeers were drowsy, the instinct of the elite soldiers delayed their death for a moment. At first, both of them avoided the lead bullets shot at the vital parts of their bodies and rolled under the carriage. However, after they also shot a round of muskets, Xu Mo and others immediately rushed towards them from the hidden ground beside the road.
Although the two musketeers were both skilled in swordsmanship and were no less than Frieza and Kay, the attackers had two reincarnations with excellent physical fitness, and soon the two musketeers were killed by a scimitar.
"Be careful!" Just as everyone was relaxing, Xu Mo was suddenly shocked and shouted to Kai Yi.
"Bang!" A short-barrel musket stretched out from one window of the carriage and shot at Kai.
"Kay!" Frieza's eyes were red and he held Kai who fell to the ground with a loud voice.
Xu Mo ran over and checked Kaiyi in his arms by Frieza. He saw that Kaiyi's left temple was penetrated by a lead bullet, and an unknown object between red and white flowed out of the bullet hole. Seeing this, Xu Mo sighed inwardly, saying that this injury could not be saved.
"Down here!" Yahan pulled out a handsome young man on the carriage with red eyes and threw it on the ground. After several days of getting along, Yahan and these sailors could not say how good the relationship was, but after all, they were companions who had drunk alcohol and fought together. Kaiyi's death made him feel sad when he died of a rabbit and a fox.
"Fuck!" Seeing the noble young man lying on the ground, Frieza put down Kay in his arms, pulled up the scimitar from the ground and walked towards the young man.
"Stop it and call the other two companions back." Xu Mo's calm voice came from behind Frieza.
"Bah!" Frieza hesitated for a moment, but still did not dare to disobey Xu Mo's orders. He spitted phlegm at the noble young man and left resentful.
Seeing Frieza go away, Xu Mo came to the carriage and looked inside the carriage. He was surprised that there was a young woman in disarray inside the carriage.
"Don't come here!" The young woman screamed in panic when she saw Xu Mo wearing a hoodie.
He pulled the woman out of the carriage, and Xu Mo threw her and the young man together without hesitation, so that Yahan could watch him, and he climbed into the carriage and searched carefully. Soon, he found some drawings and letters from a secret wall on the carriage, as well as some coins and several books.
"Cover the blood on the ground with soil, put the dead on the carriage and drive the carriage into the woods next to it!" After everyone came back, Xu Mo immediately ordered.
"Head, haven't you found the drawings? Why don't you kill them yet!" Frieza looked at the noble young man fiercely, "Please make me do it. I want this little face to know what hell is!"
