Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

Chapter 1082

After listening to Wei Yi's description, Zhu Biao's expression immediately became more serious.

Although the Ming Dynasty has made good progress in the development of firearms, this type of weapon has not yet been fully popularized.

Previously, due to insufficient industrial production capacity, most of the Academy of Science and Technology's production capacity was used on heavy weapons such as artillery.

This resulted in an insufficient number of firearms, and so far only the troops close to the capital have been equipped with them.

In this area and at this time, there is only one possibility for the sound of gunfire, and that is Yuan soldiers.

Just as Zhu Biao was thinking about how to respond, a figure ran in from outside the cave.

When everyone looked carefully, they found that it was Wei Wu, who was responsible for exploring the way and checking the surrounding situation, who had returned.

"Old Five, do you know what the gunshots were?"

As soon as he saw Wei Wu coming back, Wei Yi immediately asked, and then he saw Wei Wu nodded and said:

"Yes, there's a remote village about a mile away. I was planning to go there and find some villagers to buy some food for later."

"Suddenly a group of Yuan soldiers arrived. Fortunately I didn't rush into the village, otherwise I would be stuck inside now."

"I didn't dare get close, I just quietly hid in the distance to observe the situation, but these Yuan soldiers did not burn, kill or loot."

"They just ordered all the villagers to gather together. I think they are most likely coming for us."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Biao and the other members of the Wuchang team frowned during their escape.

They had seen many villages ravaged by the Yuan soldiers, and it could basically be said that no grass grew wherever the Yuan soldiers passed.

Basically, these Yuan soldiers burned, killed and looted as soon as they entered the village. It looked like they were looking for people, but in fact they were robbing.

I have never heard of a case where they entered a village but did not take action, but instead gathered all the villagers together.

So, after Wei Wu finished speaking, Zhu Biao immediately asked a question.

"You said it was most likely coming for us. Why do you say that?"

Wei Wu gave an answer immediately without hesitation.

"When I came here to investigate yesterday, I searched for a long time but couldn't find a suitable place for us to stay and hide."

"Then I met a man from the neighborhood and made the excuse that I was a hunter and was going into the mountains to hunt some things to sell in the city."

"Then I learned from that person that there were several caves here. I explored them before deciding to settle down here."

"I didn't think there was anything wrong originally, but judging by the current situation, someone must have discovered some flaw!"

Although this is just the speculation of the five Wei people, no one can be sure whether this is the specific reason.

But when things are abnormal, there must be something wrong. Regardless of whether it is Wei Wu's fault or not, Zhu Biao feels that we should be prepared.

After all, they cannot afford to gamble in their current situation. Once they lose the bet and are discovered by the Yuan soldiers, there is no way they can escape from the pursuit.

Because of this, after Wei Wu finished speaking, Zhu Biao immediately stood up and said:

"Be prepared! If the enemy does come, we will retreat deeper into the woods to avoid being caught by the cavalry."

To be fair, Zhu Biao did not intend to blame Wei Wu at all. In his opinion, Wei Wu had done a good job.

This is an unfamiliar area, so Wei Wu has to try every possible means to find a place to stay.

And among them, the most dangerous one is Wei Wu, because he has to explore the way alone every day.

If something happens, there is no one to support you and you are in danger all the time.

At the same time, just as Zhu Biao and his team were making preparations, new changes occurred in the village.

After all the villagers were gathered together, a man dressed as a hunter was picked out by the Yuan soldiers.

When the villagers saw this scene, they thought the hunter was going to be killed, but the Yuan soldiers did not attack the hunter.
