Zhao Cheng was taken aback, thinking that Xiao Luofeng probably mistook Yang Taozhi for a maidservant on the cool bed, and didn't bother to explain.
"Yes, you're absolutely right!"
Zhao Cheng moved back, glanced down, and asked, "Can we win?"
"There are only thirty-odd pirates down there, and I have a hundred garrison soldiers. Even three of them can't defeat one of them. In that case, I'll trouble you, young prime minister, to find a place on this mountain to bury me!"
After speaking, Xiao Luofeng raised his hand and made a gesture.
Upon seeing this, all the garrison troops assumed a charging stance.
"kill!"
At a command, the entire garrison charged down.
Zhou Nuo chose a suitable spot, drew her bow, and nocked an arrow. Zhou Chuan neither stopped her nor offered assistance, and together with Yang Taozhi, protected the woman and child.
While observing the battle below, Zhao Cheng whispered to Zhao Wu, "Find an opportunity to send a message to He Zhi and ask him to send a few of his guards over."
Zhao Wu asked doubtfully, "What's it for?"
"There's some silver in the bandits' den on the mountain; we need to take it back."
"Master, in such a tense situation, you're actually thinking about money?"
"Nothing makes me more nervous than money!"
Zhao Cheng originally wanted to see Xiao Luofeng's command ability and the fighting power of the Qingdong City garrison, but as soon as the garrison went down, the pirates scattered like birds and beasts, and their reaction and speed were extremely fast.
This made Zhao Cheng wonder, are the mountain bandits and pirates of Lingshan so good at escaping?
Of the more than thirty pirates, most of them fled, leaving behind only a dozen or so corpses.
Six of the corpses had arrows stuck in their bodies; they had been shot to death by Zhou Nuo.
After Zhao Cheng and the others went down, Xiao Luofeng gave Zhou Nuo a military salute.
"grateful."
Zhou Nuo smiled but did not reply.
Xiao Luomu looked around, then curled his lip and said, "These pirates have no fighting power at all; they're too weak to fight!"
Just as Xiao Luofeng was about to speak, Zhao Cheng said first, "They're not incapable of fighting, they just don't want to."
Xiao Luomu nodded and said, "That's right. Thieves are afraid of government troops. If the pirates see our garrison, how would they have the courage to draw their swords?"
Zhao Cheng shook his head and said in a deep voice, "These people are not pirates."
Everyone was slightly taken aback.
Xiao Luofeng looked at Zhao Cheng with surprise.
Zhao Cheng added, "They are soldiers."
