My Apprenticeship to Uncle Jiu: I Was a Warlord in the Republic of China

Upon seeing this, Jiang Li immediately took out a bundle of spirit chicken feathers and several packets of medicine powder from his storage bag, and then asked Ah San and Ah Si to distribute them.

Although the two of them were very fast, the feathers and powder were too few and were not enough to protect the hundreds of people and more than a hundred vehicles.

However, there were too many poisonous insects and it was dark, so before the spirit chicken feathers and insect repellent powder were completely distributed, some people had already been infected and fell to the ground.

Jiang Li frowned slightly as he looked at the situation, but there was nothing he could do.

At this moment, a gust of cold wind blew across Jiang Li's body. He immediately widened his eyes, took out the golden cudgel from his storage bag, and became fully alert.

Because just now, he felt an extremely strong and cold wind, and in the next second, bursts of ghost howlings were heard outside the village's earthen walls.

Jiang Li was shocked when he saw it. According to his estimation, there were probably thousands of ghosts outside the village. So he immediately took out a large number of talisman papers and flags from his storage bag and set up an exorcism formation on the ground.

Then he immediately shouted to everyone, "Stop killing the bugs, and quickly gather in the formation!"

Upon hearing this, the soldiers immediately picked up their weapons and moved closer to Jiang Li. In the process, many soldiers were knocked down by the poisonous insects, but the ghosts did not actively attack the soldiers.

I think this is probably because these soldiers have been on the battlefield for a long time and have a strong bloody and fierce aura, plus they are all wearing special hair robes!

At this time, in the distant woods, several "Indians" who were controlling poisonous insects and ghosts were very surprised.

In their opinion, although this army was considered elite, they should be terrified when they were suddenly attacked by a large number of poisonous insects and ghosts in the middle of the night.

When the time comes and they lose their focus, they will control these ghosts to rush forward. Not to mention destroying them all, but just destroying two or three hundred people.

By then, we can control these ghosts to possess our bodies and easily capture this group of Han people.

However, the actual situation was far beyond their expectations. Not only did these people only lose dozens of people, but they also hid in the formation set up by the leader in a very orderly manner.

Afterwards, he sprinkled a large amount of powder, which for a while made their poisonous insects dare not approach at all.

And those ghosts, after feeling the thicker blood and murderous aura that was gathered because of the denser standing positions, not only did they not dare to approach, they even took the initiative to retreat a little.

As for the people who were trapped by the poisonous insects on the ground, Jiang Li and some Taoist soldiers holding feathers of spiritual chickens pulled them into the formation. Then they were fed some antidote, not sure if it was the right one for their condition, and then they were put on the truck and no longer cared about.

Seeing that the situation was obviously at a stalemate, the Great Elder suddenly said: "Now that things have come to this, why not summon the heavenly soldiers? Once the heavenly soldiers appear, they will surely be able to break through their defenses!"

Everyone nodded as they had no better ideas. But Pan Yong stepped out and offered a suggestion, "Elders, they are in the light while we are in the dark, and we are so close to each other."

"I can't help you summon the heavenly soldiers anyway, so why don't you let me lead my people and shoot arrows from a distance to see if I can scare them off!"

Upon hearing this, several elders felt that the other side had strong firepower and that doing so might be disadvantageous.

But when he thought that the heavenly soldiers would arrive soon and would need a large amount of blood to feed on the remaining souls, it would be better if some people died now, so he agreed, then turned around and left, presided over the sacrificial ceremony and summoned the heavenly soldiers.

On Jiang Li's side, after settling the poisoned soldiers, he immediately began to move things, set up bunkers, and set up heavy machine guns.

But before they could finish their arrangements, there were bursts of explosions in the woods, followed by a large number of arrows flying into the crowd.

For a while, Jiang Li's team suffered heavy casualties. Fortunately, although the bunker had not been fully set up, it was still somewhat useful. After suffering the casualties of dozens of people, everyone finally set up the bunker.

Then Jiang Li gave an order, "Target the woods ahead, fire freely, kill them for me!"

Then light, heavy and machine guns, as well as pistols, began to fire continuously at the crowd, but because it was indiscriminate shooting without a target, it did not cause much casualties to the enemy.

Although a few screams could be heard from time to time, they were not too many.

Jiang Li saw that this was not a solution, so he took out a few fireball talismans from his storage bag, pointed his sword to activate the talisman, and shouted, "Go!"

A fireball talisman quickly caught fire and shot into the woods. However, the fireball talisman only flew fifty or sixty meters before the magic power attached to it was consumed. Then the talisman paper caught fire and quickly burned to ashes.

Seeing that his plan to illuminate the field of vision failed, Jiang Li immediately slapped his forehead and asked someone to start the truck and use the headlights on it for illumination.

However, since the car lights at this time were incandescent lamps, the lighting effect was still not ideal. The lighting distance was only about forty or fifty meters, and the farther away it was, the darker it was, so there was not much lighting effect at all.

At this time, Jiang Youchi, who was standing by, hesitated for a second after seeing Jiang Li's operation, and quickly came to Jiang Li and shouted loudly: "Commander... Commander, it seems that we have flares on our car, why don't you try that?"

Jiang Li's eyes widened when he heard this. He grabbed Jiang Youchi's clothes, lifted him up and shouted, "Why didn't you tell me earlier that there were flares? It's fun to laugh at me, right?"

Although Jiang Youchi was lifted up, he did not struggle at all and allowed Jiang Li to vent.

Sure enough, after two breaths, he landed on the ground, and then quickly squeezed onto a truck in the crowd, and lifted out a large box and two mortars from the truck.

Have someone quickly set up the mortar, then quickly open the box and take out the flares, and use the mortar to fire one first as a mark.

After making the adjustments, he fired another flare, but this time the position was closer than before.

After firing a few more rounds, they finally found the approximate position of the enemy, and then the heavy machine gun continued to fire in long bursts, and the casualties of the enemies in the woods immediately increased significantly.

With the approximate location of the place known, the firing of flares became more and more accurate, so that almost every subsequent shot could be fired near the enemy crowd.

Just after Asan and his men unloaded a few mortars from the car and joined in the firing, a circle of bright light soon appeared in the woods surrounding the Yao village.

With the guidance of the flares, the shooter's hit rate was greatly improved. At a certain moment, the enemies in the woods finally collapsed. No longer in the mood for archery harassment, they abandoned the wounded and quickly disappeared into the woods.

After another round of shooting, Jiang Li saw that there were no arrows shot out of the forest and there were not many sounds, so he ordered his men to stop shooting.
