Chapter 164 It’s over, I’m so stupid!
"That's right, those beasts came into the village and robbed everything they saw and killed everyone they saw. If these girls hadn't come, all of us would have been gone long ago!"
"Yunniang, your mother-in-law..."
"Village Chief, my mother...she was beaten to death by Simon the Dog while trying to save me! If Marshal Bai hadn't arrived, I would have already gone to the King of Hell with my mother!"
"Child, being able to survive means you are blessed with a long life. Live a good life with the villagers from now on!"
"Well, I have to go back and collect my mother's body and give her a proper burial."
"Well, that's as it should be."
"I also want to go back and collect my father's body. I can't let his body rot in the house."
Almost every family in the village has lost someone.
Everyone has to go back to collect the bodies.
There was a lot of noise for a while, which was so annoying. Wu Lanzhi was gone, so they had to ask Bai Li for help.
"It's getting late. Let's come back tomorrow to collect the bodies of our fellow villagers!"
"Marshal, where are we going?"
"Go into the city first and come back tomorrow."
When the people of Shahe Village heard this, they decided to go into the city and find a corner to stay for the night, which was better than having nowhere to go outside. If they met the Simon soldiers again, they would never be so lucky to be rescued.
The head of Shahe Village bowed deeply to Bai Li and said, "Thank you, Marshal!"
Bai Li quickly moved away. She really couldn't stand the ancients bowing to her. They were so old, her grandfather's generation, but they still bowed to her. Wouldn't this shorten her lifespan?
"You're welcome. This is what you should do."
At this time, the sound of horse hooves was heard, and the people sent by Wu Lanzhi led their horses out.
It turned out that after they entered the village, they were afraid of being discovered by the Simon soldiers, so they tied all their horses in an abandoned courtyard at the entrance of the village. When they came out of the village just now, they were leading Simon war horses, of which there were more than 400 horses.
Because Bai Li was with Yunniang, he didn't release the horse from the space, and later he forgot about it!
Seeing that she had no horse, Wu Lanzhi gave her the strongest and tallest one.
Bai Li ordered the villagers in Shahe Village who could ride horses to ride, and those who could not ride horses to be led by a cavalryman.
Unexpectedly, there were quite a few people who could ride horses. Some elderly people and children were accompanied by villagers, and it was easy for two people to ride together.
The common people were naturally in awe of soldiers and didn't dare to ride on the same horse with them. Bai Li could understand that. Seeing that they had solved the problem of riding by themselves, she climbed on board.
A cavalry of several hundred men marched towards Yuanzhou City in a mighty force.
"Oh, I came out and got a few hundred war horses. What a good deal!"
"I wish good things like this could happen every day!"
“Who wouldn’t want to?”
“Come to think of it, it seems the Simon soldiers aren’t that scary.
I used the skills taught by Marshal Bai, and I can take down two men as strong as iron towers!"
"I, I was stunned for a moment and was almost killed by the Simon soldiers!"
"hiss!"
The companions all cast worried glances at the person who said this, and Bai Li also looked over.
This was a little girl who was only fifteen years old. When she first joined the army, Bai Li wanted to eliminate her, but she knelt down and cried and begged, saying that she had lost all her family members. If she didn't join the army, her uncle would sell her to someone else to be the stepmother of three children. If Bai Li didn't accept her, she would have no way to survive!
Bai Li felt soft-hearted and compassionate for her, so he kept her.
What was it called?
"Erniu, are you okay?"
Oh, her name is Erniu, I remember now.
Erniu couldn't help but feel her eyes turn red when she saw how much everyone cared about her.
"I'm fine. I rolled on the ground to avoid the fatal knife attack, and then turned around and shot that Simon dog to death with an arrow."
"Whoa!"
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"You can't be distracted from now on, you could die at any time. Have you forgotten what Marshal Bai taught you?
You must pay full attention when facing the enemy, otherwise you will be the one to die!"
"I see. It's just... it's my first time seeing someone so close, and I'm a little scared..."
Bai Li gave her an encouraging look and did not blame her.
It is inevitable for a little farm girl to feel afraid when facing an enemy much stronger than herself for the first time. She just needs to get through the first level.
Although this was the cavalry's second mission, the first time was to throw stones and fire crossbows from a long distance.
This second time was a close combat, and it was rare for the little girl to win by a narrow margin.
Erniu caught a glimpse of the marshal not only not blaming her, but also encouraging her, and her uneasy heart finally settled down.
It’s great that she won’t be driven away to get married!
Wu Lanzhi led the team in the front, with people from Shahe Village and several injured female soldiers walking in the middle. Bai Li and Gao Dani followed behind, each riding a horse and leading two horses to support the team.
A hint of red glow appeared on the horizon, illuminating half the sky red.
Riding a horse, feeling the wind, listening to the chattering of the female soldiers, and strolling along the country road at will is quite pleasant.
While admiring the sunset, Bai Li listened to the conversation of the female soldiers. He also learned about their shortcomings in this operation and would go back to help them fill in the gaps.
After walking onto the official road, we soon saw Luo Yang and the others.
When the two teams met, they found that there were more than twice as many horses and many ordinary people.
"Marshal, are you all right?"
"It's okay, how about you guys?"
"We're fine, a few of us were slightly injured, and Simon's horses were frightened, so more than a dozen ran away. What a pity!"
Luo Yang's expression of missing out on a hundred million was so funny that Bai Li couldn't help but chuckle.
The rosy glow enveloped the girl, giving her a colorful halo, making her look sacred and charming.
Luo Yang was stunned for a moment, and was still in a daze even after the team walked away.
"Let's go!"
Bai Li, who fell behind, turned around and shouted, "Are her subordinates stupid? Even if more than ten horses ran away, it wouldn't be a big deal."
The girl turned around and smiled charmingly, and Luo Yang's face suddenly turned red all the way to his neck.
Bai Li shook his head. It seemed that he was not stupid, but had a fever.
Hiss, could it be that he has gone crazy due to being burned out?
"Well, go back and find a military doctor immediately to see if there's any hope of saving him."
Bai Li still cares about such a good subordinate.
It would be a pity if the child was really stupid. She would have to train a new one, which would be time-consuming and laborious.
Luo Yang was confused. "Why should I look for a military doctor?"
Bai Li: It’s over, I’m so stupid!
When the team returned to the city, Bai Li forced Luo Yang to find a military doctor. When he learned the result, he was scolded by the military doctor and kicked out.
Bai Li ordered Wu Lanzhi to report the operation to Li Dazhuang and asked him to write a memorial to the emperor.
Bai Li doesn't care about these trivial matters. Nangong Min was in charge of them before, and now Li Dazhuang is in charge of them.
However, because she brought back hundreds of ordinary people, she went to see the prefect.
"Hey, Marshal Bai, how come you have time to come to my humble abode?"
Bai Li let the common people have dinner in the barracks, and then went to the prefect's house to find him.
It wasn't that there was no room for hundreds of civilians in the barracks, but that the barracks were a restricted area and outsiders were not allowed to enter, so she couldn't set this precedent.
