Chapter 187 The Terrible War
In the distance, there was a team of about 5,000 people. The small leader in the lead was riding a horse, followed by a team of cavalry. Each horse was carrying several bags of food. The infantrymen following behind were each hung with chickens, ducks and geese, and there were also people driving several large pigs in the middle.
"These beasts don't give the common people any chance to survive!"
"Look, they didn't even spare the guard dog!"
"Son of a bitch, I'm going to destroy them!"
"Simon the dog is such a loser! He doesn't stay in his own country, but comes to someone else's place to burn, kill, and loot!"
"They are not even dogs. Dogs are not as cold-blooded as them. They are simply devils!"
"There's no point in talking so much, just kill them and that's it!"
"Shh! Stop talking, they're getting closer!"
Bai Zongren made a gesture. In fact, the distance seen through the telescope was so close that they would need at least a quarter of an hour to walk to it.
However, this distance is within the range of their crossbows.
The bows and arrows of Simon's army couldn't even touch them.
"Wait till they get past that knotty point and then shoot!"
Bai Zongren stared at the enemy troops through the telescope, and saw them laughing wildly and proud of their return with a full load, which made him hate them so much.
"Shoot!"
A wave of arrows seemed to fall from the sky, and Simon's army fell down instantly.
"Enemy attack!"
Some people shot arrows randomly in panic, but they didn't even see the shadow of the enemy and almost hit their own people.
Bai Zongren did not give them a chance to breathe and shot arrows continuously. Soon, less than half of the team of several thousand people was left. Seeing this, the rest fled in all directions and looked for places to hide.
At this time, the teams of Bai Zongren and Bai Zongrui were waiting to reap their lives.
One side was well-equipped with weapons and was waiting calmly, while the other side fled in panic without even seeing the enemy. The difference was immediately apparent.
Not long after, all 5,000 Simon troops were wiped out, leaving only chickens, ducks and food on the ground. Bai Zongren ordered his men to pack up quickly and leave!
As the sun sets, I guess Prince Jin will be back soon!
A quarter of an hour later, Bai Zongren's team quickly entered the forest and returned to the city along a mountain path that was cut by villagers who went up the mountain to chop firewood and hunt.
There is no way that King Jin's large army could return via such a small path.
A long team of horses carrying food was moving through the dense forests between mountains. Suddenly, someone exclaimed, "Look! Is that the retreating Simon Army over there?"
Bai Zongren stopped and waved his hand to signal everyone to stop and be quiet.
When I took out the telescope, I saw Bai Zongze next to me shouting.
"It really is the King of Jin. Didn't he say he brought 50,000 troops to attack the city? Why does it look like there are less than 20,000?"
"Oh, is there any need to say this? Marshal Bai must have wiped out more than half of them!"
"That's right, Simon the dog won't be able to jump around for much longer!"
"I wonder what will happen when they return to the camp and see that their past has been exposed?"
"What else can I do? I want to cry but I have no tears!"
"Ha ha!"
"Hush, be careful not to attract the enemy!"
Bai Zongren hurriedly stopped them from fighting.
Really, he's so proud of himself just after winning two small battles. If we don't take care of it, something big will happen sooner or later!
Although the people below still wanted to laugh and make noises, they had always respected Bai Zongren and naturally obeyed his words.
Everyone immediately crouched down and watched from afar as the King of Jin rode his horse crookedly, leading his remaining troops towards their camp.
Take the opportunity to destroy them and avenge the people of Da Zhou who have been harmed by them!
This thought caused a conflict between Bai Zongren's conscience and his desire, but in the end his reason suppressed the thought, allowing Prince Jin to pass them and go further and further away.
"Brother, I think we should have given it a try just now."
Bai Zongze weighed the options between 4,000 people and more than 10,000 people, and was unwilling to just watch them leave.
"I want to, but think about how many crossbow arrows we have now."
Bai Zongze lowered his head and thought, it's true, the previous battle consumed at least more than 10,000 guns, and now there are less than 10,000 left. What can he use to fight against others?
"Let's not be too regretful. We killed so many Simon dogs today, which is enough to make King Jin drink a pot!"
Bai Zongrui spoke up. He knew that his third brother was warlike and a bit reckless, and most of the time he and his eldest brother had to cover for him.
"Okay, we have to go back quickly, otherwise Li'er will be worried!"
Bai Zongren and others had just returned to the outskirts of Yuanzhou City when a golden monkey flew towards Bai Zongren from afar.
"Ah, it's King Kong! Li'er must have sent you out to find me, right?"
King Kong nodded and went straight into Bai Zongren's arms.
Bai Zongren laughed heartily, patted its monkey butt, and simply carried it away.
"That's right, the master told us to come. The stinky monkey can't talk!"
Suddenly a voice came from above my head.
Everyone looked up and saw a jet-black bird.
"Wow! This bird can speak human language? How bizarre!"
"What's so strange about this? I know a man who likes to raise birds. Many of his birds can not only speak human language, but also sing.
Some can even imitate different people’s voices!”
"Is this true? What kind of bird is the talking bird?"
"How would I know? I just saw him from a distance, holding up a birdcage and talking to the bird while walking. That's how I found out."
"Oh! There are so many strange people and things, especially this year!"
"Speaking of which, our Marshal Bai is amazing. The monkeys he raised are human-like, and the birds he raised can even talk!"
"Of course, otherwise how could he have killed so many of Simon's soldiers!"
"Our General Bai is not bad, is he? Today's battle has brought out the general's former glory."
"Marshal Bai and General Bai are a daughter and a father, respectively. They are one family. A tiger father will have a dog daughter, so they are definitely not that bad!"
"No, why do I feel that Marshal Bai is more powerful than her father?"
"Is it not possible for a daughter to be better than her father? This is called the disciple surpassing the father, understand?"
Bai Zongze was unhappy when he heard his subordinates gossiping. It was okay for family members to do whatever they wanted behind closed doors, but it was unacceptable for outsiders to talk behind their backs, even though the person was his brother who had been through thick and thin with him.
The soldier was not angry when being scolded. He just chuckled and changed the subject.
Everyone was happy about the great victory today. Looking at the city wall right in front of them, they couldn't help but quicken their pace.
Bai Li saw through the telescope that her father and the others had returned. King Kong couldn't wait and jumped off the city wall and ran towards the city gate.
Bai Li smiled and didn't care. Ever since she let the three little ones out, they have behaved like spoiled children in front of their family.
Her father Bai Zongren particularly liked King Kong, saying that it was smart and human-like, just like a five or six-year-old child.
Seeing that they had reached the city gate, Bai Li hurried down the city wall and went to the door to greet them.
Bai Zongren looked at the bloodstains outside the city gate that had not yet been cleaned up, which showed how brutal this battle was!
I couldn't help but frown and sigh!
