The group moved steadily forward in the darkness without making a sound. Apart from the rustling of leaves, Ning Ye and his group were almost completely silent.
The people under Ning Ye's command will only become more and more terrifying in the future. After all, everything is based on the training methods of special forces. The longer they have, the more proficient they will become in what they have learned.
Ning Ye quickly led his people to their destination. Sure enough, the place was still brightly lit. Judging from the time, it was not yet time to sleep. Moreover, it seemed that this place was not just a simple gathering place, but more like a place where people lived for a long time.
But Ning Ye was very patient; he insisted on waiting until everyone was sound asleep before he could make a move.
Before taking action, Ning Ye addressed everyone, saying, "I don't know what kind of people you were before, but from now on you will truly become soldiers in my hands, and soldiers should take obedience to orders as their duty."
Hu Laosan asked, puzzled, "Why are you suddenly saying all this at a time like this, sir?"
Ning Ye's gaze swept over everyone, his eyes still bright and piercing even in the darkness. "You should have heard Old Wang's report. There are elderly, weak, women and children among us. Apart from the men, I hope you can all abide by yourselves."
A new recruit raised his hand. "Report, sir, I have a question to ask."
"Yunxu, what do you want to ask?"
"Our instructor once taught us that being merciful to the enemy is being cruel to ourselves. Since these old, weak, women and children are in this bandit's den, they can't be good people. Why should we give them a break?"
Ning Ye nodded and said, "What I taught you is certainly not wrong, but you don't need to be so extreme right now. Everything should be analyzed according to the situation. I just don't want you to harm these weak people, but if they also have knives, do I still need to teach them what to do?"
The recruit lowered his hand. "Sir, I think I understand what you mean. I have no further questions."
Old Hu said with a somewhat unpleasant expression, "Sir, I'm sorry. I haven't been educating them enough, which is why they dared to ask such questions. I will definitely educate them properly when we get back."
"What I do need is a group of soldiers who can faithfully carry out my orders, but at the same time I don't want them to be without their own thoughts. Such soldiers are nothing but inanimate objects, and I don't like such soldiers."
Ning Ye wasn't angry about this, which made Hu Laosan's expression better. Seeing that the lights in the distance had gone out, Ning Ye knew it was time to make his move.
This is basically the same process as last time: Ning Ye goes alone to capture the leader first, while Hu Laosan makes sure that the others won't slip through the net.
Under the silent night, a group of vengeful ghosts began another massacre.
One veteran with two new recruits is enough; three people can be assigned to one room, allowing them to attack multiple locations simultaneously.
Ning Ye easily located the location of the other party's leader. After all, if the largest room in the center wasn't occupied by the leader, who else could it be?
These bandits lacked even the most basic awareness of self-defense, and there were no guards outside at all, so Ning Ye and his group's sneak attack was a complete success.
The bandit leader was beheaded by Ning Ye while he was still asleep. As for the other women in the room, Ning Ye chose to ignore them. He couldn't tell whether they were innocent or not, so he could only leave them alone.
When Ning Ye arrived outside, more than a dozen people had already surrounded him, but their faces were filled with terror, clearly they were afraid.
Because there were no lights on behind them, even though someone was shouting for help, there was still no response.
Hu Laosan walked out of a room, his body already soaked in blood, even his armor was covered in a thick crimson hue.
Hu Laosan grinned and said, "It seems that only those in front of you are left, sir. We have already taken care of everyone else."
Ning Ye nodded in satisfaction. "Very good. Then let's deal with these people as well. This time it was too easy. It really didn't interest me at all."
Just as Ning Ye said, this time it was really easy. At least the bandits put up some resistance, but these mountain bandits were all killed in their sleep.
There's absolutely no comparison. If all the battles that follow are like this, then at best it's just a small snack, and of course, we can't complain.
Although these people were indeed weak, it can't be said that they brought Ning Ye no surprises at all; at the very least, this group of people had a very substantial financial background.
After being tallied, the seized items were worth at least two thousand taels of silver, not to mention the usable grain and fodder.
Of course, there were still quite a few people left, but Ning Ye didn't care about their thoughts. He simply gathered them all together and then told them that if they wanted to leave, they could leave on their own, but if they didn't want to leave, no one would care if they waited to die there.
Ning Ye packed up all the spoils of war and took them with him, leaving these people with nothing. Not killing them was already merciful.
Of course, this was the only act of mercy. In the following days, Ningye began a large-scale search for the bandits, usually using the method of luring them out of their hole.
If the enemy retreats and refuses to come out, then give them a proper night raid. Whether it's a sneak attack or a direct confrontation, Ning Ye wants his men to have plenty of experience.
While Ning Ye was still wreaking havoc in the mountains and forests, the border region, hundreds of miles away, was in dire straits.
On the city wall of the border, Li Ruochen was already stationed there, and every soldier around him was fighting hard.
Looking down, the barbarian soldiers below the city walls were endless, numbering at least tens of thousands, as they had formed a dense, dark mass.
The border war began seven days ago, and this time, contrary to their usual practice, the number of barbarians they sent out was several times greater than before.
Siege weapons that were rarely seen before have appeared on the battlefield, and these barbarians are using them quite skillfully.
