Chapter 101 Turning the entire village upside down
Deputy General Zhao Cheng attacked from the front to attract the main force of the bandits.
Xie Lingyun personally led a small team and quietly moved towards the western mountain path.
Under the cover of the mountain, the rustling sounds are like ghosts.
The mountain wind howled, rustling the leaves and covering up the sound of the soldiers' footsteps.
Xie Lingyun raised his hand to signal the team to stop and observe the front in the moonlight.
The wooden fence and watchtower of the stronghold were vaguely visible, with a figure swaying on the tower, but then, the guards were all killed by a figure.
The guards around Xie Lingyun recognized the man's skills and whispered, "It's Guard Cang! He succeeded!"
Xie Lingyun responded indifferently, gazing at the mountain, and you gave a cold and frivolous smile.
This morning, this group of bandits looted another village, burning, killing and robbing. They must have gotten a lot of property.
Afterwards, they spent more than an hour buying wine and meat from the foot of the mountain, as if they were going to celebrate.
According to the designated plan, Cang Yi first sneaked into the mountain stronghold and used the poison that Xie Lingyun asked from Jiang Qingyue to put in the food and wine of these people.
After he succeeds, Cang Yi will ask the eagle to come and report the news.
When they climbed up the mountain from the west side, Cang Yi just rushed up to the watchtower and killed all the bandits who were guarding the village.
In this case, all the bandits who still have the strength to fight back should have gone to the front of the village gate and fought with Zhao Cheng.
And they attacked his back.
Xie Lingyun whispered, "Light the fire."
In an instant, dozens of rockets streaked across the night sky and headed straight for the village.
At the gate, someone pointed at a sudden flash of fire on a distant mountaintop. "General, signal from the west!"
Zhao Cheng's eyes flashed: "The whole army is pressing forward!"
The shouts of killing were deafening, and the officers and soldiers rushed towards the mountain stronghold like a tide.
The bandits were attacked from both sides and their formation was in great disarray, but after a short while they retreated in an orderly manner to the back mountain where the bandit camp was easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Xie Lingyun took the lead, unsheathed his sword, and with a flash of cold light, two bandits fell to the ground.
Although he killed two people, he could see that these bandits were quite skilled.
Even judging from the fights with these people, there must be someone in the bandit camp who knows military strategies.
But no matter how powerful a person is, in Xie Lingyun's eyes, he is just a rat that is not worthy of being on the stage.
Xie Lingyun led the elite team to retreat to the rear and deliberately let Zhao Cheng reveal his weakness, making these bandits mistakenly believe that they had a chance of victory.
"Brother, what should we do now?"
Suddenly, everyone looked at a big, strong, but smart man.
He grabbed a thin man by the collar and pulled him in front of him.
"Destroy the things in the wooden box under my bed!"
In the dark, Xie Lingyun raised the corner of his lips and pointed at the skinny monkey to Cang Yi.
"I want him alive."
Cang Yi nodded, "I understand."
As soon as the skinny monkey left, Xie Lingyun rushed forward like a warrior on the battlefield, followed closely by Zhao Cheng and others. They were a dense mass, like a surging wave.
The bandits saw the officers and soldiers who had just retreated rushing up again, but they were not panicked at all.
The bandit leader was standing on a high place, feeling proud that they could not attack the back mountain, when someone suddenly shouted in panic.
"The soldiers are climbing up the cliff!"
Attacked from both sides!
They suffered the same loss twice!
"Brother, what should we do? We can't escape!"
The burly man slashed his neck with the knife, and blood splattered all over his face.
"You useless piece of shit, what are you yelling about? You're going to die anyway. If you can't escape, just kill me!"
Suddenly, shouts and sounds of fighting resounded throughout the mountain.
During the fight, a broken knife fell from the sky. Xie Lingyun was being harassed by several bandits and couldn't get away.
"General!"
Zhao Cheng rushed forward, intending to block his attack, but unexpectedly fell into the enemy's ambush.
Suddenly, two more bandits attacked. The moment Zhao Cheng tried to defend himself, the broken knife that was blocked came down from his right shoulder, as if to split him in half.
Zhao Cheng screamed, but was in so much pain that he had no strength to resist.
"Deputy General Zhao!"
Under the moonlight, the long sword in Xie Lingyun's hand seemed ghostly. A flash of light passed by, and in the blink of an eye, the head fell to the ground.
He captured the bandit leader, picked up the broken sword on the ground, and chopped it off his shoulder.
At the same time, he threw the medicine in his arms to the officers and soldiers around Zhao Cheng.
"Stop the bleeding!"
ah!
The bandit leader screamed in pain, but Xie Lingyun did not stop.
Xie Lingyun treated him the same way he treated Zhao Cheng just now.
Zhao Cheng was his deputy general who had followed him for many years. The two had fought on the battlefield and had become as close as brothers.
His wife had just given birth to their second child half a month ago, and he had to bring Zhao Cheng back to Yanjing safely.
"General, spare my life! Spare my life!"
The man was shaking with pain and kept shouting for mercy.
"As long as the general can spare us, I will confess everything!"
Xie Lingyun's strength in his hands indeed decreased a bit.
The man looked up at him, into those eyes as cold as a pool of ice, and suddenly fear rose in his heart.
But in a flash, that little bit of fear was swept away by a tremendous hatred that was ready to die.
"You dog officer, I want you dead!"
He pulled out a dagger from the sole of his shoe and pointed it at Xie Lingyun's heart.
He had some martial arts skills, but because of his injury, his movements were slow, and Xie Lingyun only needed two moves to pin him to the ground.
"Come, take him down the mountain..."
Before Xie Lingyun could finish his words, the bandit leader suddenly started bleeding from his mouth and nose and died instantly.
He pried open the man's lips and teeth, only then did he discover the poison hidden in his mouth.
Xie Lingyun threw the man's body on the ground in disgust and said, "Kill him!"
At this time, the sky was already turning pale, but the wailing in the village on the hilltop was still terrifying.
But after a while, the fighting gradually subsided and the war came to an end.
The bandit camp that was impregnable the day before is now completely destroyed.
"Deputy General Zhao!"
Zhao Cheng held on, "Don't worry, General. I'm wearing light armor, so I won't die. I just applied some medicine, so I'm fine now."
Xie Lingyun lowered his eyes and saw that blood had soaked through Zhao Cheng's light armor. His face was terribly pale due to blood loss.
This person doesn't look like he's alright.
By the way, Jiang Qingyue also gave other medicines!
Xie Lingyun took out a brown pill from his arms and stuffed it into Zhao Cheng's mouth.
As soon as the pill entered his mouth, Zhao Cheng felt a cool sensation in his throat.
"General?"
"This is the medicine that this general asked the little genius doctor for. It can save lives."
After saying this, he ordered someone to immediately send Zhao Cheng back to Yanjing City. If he met Jiang Qingyue outside the city, he would keep her there for treatment.
Jiang Qingyue, she can definitely save Zhao Cheng.
Xie Lingyun stood in the center of the village and looked around.
There were corpses lying all over the ground, including those of bandits and soldiers.
The air was filled with the nauseating smell of blood.
Xie Lingyun ordered in a deep voice: "Search! Turn the entire village upside down. Dig deep into the ground and find the things!"
"Prince, I found it."
Cang Yi threw the skinny monkey, who looked like it had its tendons pulled out, at Xie Lingyun's feet, and presented the palm-sized wooden box to Xie Lingyun.
Xie Lingyun opened the box and saw several secret letters inside. One of the torn letters had a red mark on the corner, and a few words could be vaguely made out.
Censorate.
