Like a pack of wolves drawn by the scent of blood, none of Ningye's men dared to make a sound other than their footsteps.
After all, they had made this mistake before, and the consequence was that Ning Ye hung them up and whipped them, with his pants pulled down, in front of others.
Both mentally and physically, they can be made to remember firmly that they must not make mistakes.
As Ning Ye walked further and further along the road, he was somewhat surprised. He had thought that these guys should be hiding in a far away place, but he did not expect that the bandits' lair was actually on a mountain near Qingyuan County.
These guys are truly audacious, openly defying the government right under our noses. This shows just how weak and easily bullied the government was in that era.
After Hu Erbiao entered the mountain stronghold, Ning Ye was not in a hurry. He knew that these guys would not be able to move out at night, and many people had already woken up as soon as Hu Erbiao went in. He would have to wait for a while before letting them go back to sleep.
After about an hour, Ning Ye beckoned to Wang Wu, "I'll open the gate first. You take your men and sneak in. Remember, only kill people, don't touch anything else. If things go wrong, retreat with your men immediately."
Wang Wu nodded and said, "Please rest assured, sir, we will do our best to wipe out these bandits. But we're withdrawing now. What about you, sir?"
“I have my own things to do, and with these people, there’s no way they can keep me here.”
Wang Wu agreed with this statement, after all, he had been beaten quite a bit in the past two weeks.
He couldn't understand it no matter how hard he racked his brains: how could Ning Ye, who looked so thin and small, be so fierce in a fight? He would often leave Ning Ye with bumps all over his head, without giving him any chance to fight back.
This made Wang Wu increasingly believe in Ning Ye's words. He only needed to do what Ning Ye said, and any other words were just superfluous.
After speaking, Ning Ye approached the wall of the mountain stronghold by himself and glanced at the so-called sentry, who was already dozing off.
Like a nimble monkey, Ning Ye climbed the wall with his bare hands, and finally, with a sharp dagger in his mouth, he quickly reached the top of the watchtower.
Under the dim light, Ning Ye had completely transformed into a ruthless grim reaper, reaping the lives of his opponents.
As the gate opened, Wang Wu led the others in single file. The entire stronghold wasn't very large, but the houses were quite densely packed.
Ning Ye didn't care how many people these novices killed before alerting the others; his target was their leader.
If there is no leader, then tonight's results will be more impressive.
In the darkness, Ning Ye quickly made his way towards the large house, presumably where the other party lived. Wang Wu also led the others, splitting into small teams and sneaking into each house.
An ambush that began in the darkness unfolded. Ning Ye hurriedly opened the door to the main house and slipped inside silently.
The room reeked of alcohol. Although it was cluttered with things, Ning Ye used his experience to precisely avoid every obstacle and made his way toward the large bed.
On the bed, a burly man was fast asleep, embracing a woman. Ning Ye immediately pulled out a dagger and thrust it into the man's throat, while his other hand prepared to cover the man's mouth.
Just as the blade was about to strike, the burly man suddenly opened his eyes. Despite being in darkness, he could still sense a hint of crimson.
Ning Ye was slightly surprised. He was certain that he hadn't made a sound or shown any murderous intent, and that this person probably had a very keen sixth sense.
In the blink of an eye, Ning Ye delivered his dagger, and the big man immediately blocked it with his arm, the dagger piercing through the arm in an instant.
The big man roared and tried to get up, but Ning Ye wouldn't give him that chance and then pressed down with all his strength.
The big man thought this guy was going to challenge him, but he didn't think that a skinny guy could pose any threat to him. But the next second, a blade appeared in Ning Ye's mouth.
In an instant, the sword slashed across the burly man's neck, and blood gushed out. A man who could be described as feared by others died in the darkness, a death that could even be described as somewhat aggrieved.
The woman had already been frightened awake, but instead of screaming, she sat up, trembling all over.
“If you’re not with them, then find some clothes and get out of here as soon as possible. I don’t have time for you.”
After saying that, Ning Ye turned and left. It wasn't that he didn't want to help this person; sometimes it's better to rely on yourself than to ask others for help. His shout just now might have disturbed others.
Ning Ye stepped out of the main house and found that a large number of fires had been lit outside, and the men he had brought were fighting with the bandits.
Fortunately, these guys hadn't forgotten everything I taught them, and for a while they were still able to put up a fight.
The situation was changing rapidly, and as more and more bandits emerged, the forces were clearly overwhelmed.
Ning Ye immediately took out his military crossbow, and one after another, jet-black arrows were accurately delivered into the heads of each person. The powerful force of the arrows even pierced through the skulls of the opponents.
This perfect long-range attack is the most deadly thing. Anyone who gets too close to Wang Wu and the others will be instantly killed by a headshot.
They weren't afraid of being killed by the enemy head-on, but the sneak attacks from behind made the bandits grit their teeth in hatred, and soon some of them moved closer to Ning Ye.
Unfortunately, they had no idea that Ning Ye was the biggest nightmare they were about to face that night.
It was impossible for a group of short-legged guys to catch up with a top soldier in the dark, not to mention the constant threat of deadly arrows, which made them even more terrified.
After killing more than a dozen more people, Ning Ye finally terrified these guys and made them dare not continue the pursuit.
When these people returned, they were met with a mountain stronghold engulfed in flames. Half of their informants had fled, and the remaining half, though they escaped, were still filled with fear.
