Bai Luoyu rushed back, feeling extremely worried, fearing that when he returned, he would see a river of blood and a floor full of broken limbs.
Now that he was back, he indeed saw such a scene: soldiers outside Lishu Town were rolling on the ground, some dead, some unconscious and groaning.
They were all Li Dapao's soldiers, and their remaining troops had not even reached Lishu Town. It was estimated that there were only a hundred or so people left.
Bai Luoyu breathed a sigh of relief and shouted, "Everyone, draw your swords and charge."
"Yes." Everyone drew out their swords and rushed towards the remaining soldiers in front.
The remaining people didn't react at all to what was happening. They only heard the sound of horse hooves behind them, getting closer and closer, and felt the ground shaking under their feet.
When they looked back, the big knife with a cold glow was already in front of them.
Bai Luoyu and others raised their swords and slashed, and in one rush, a large number of people fell.
In order to prevent accidental injuries, Gu Nianchen ordered everyone to put down their guns when he saw Bai Luoyu and his men rushing over.
Now when these brothers from Baoxing Village saw that there were really reinforcements, they were shocked again and were full of admiration for Gu Nianchen.
Gu Nianchen turned his head and looked back, only to see Mayor Bai in tears. The one charging forward was his proud son. The son he missed so much was back to save him and his fellow villagers. How could he not be excited at such a critical moment?
"Dad, I'm back late." At this time, Bai Luoyu had already rushed over on horseback. He dismounted at the entrance of the town, strode to the front of Mayor Bai, knelt down and kowtowed three times.
"Get up quickly, my son, get up quickly." Mayor Bai helped Bai Luoyu up, hugged him tightly, then let go of Bai Luoyu and looked at him carefully.
"Stronger and darker."
"Dad, are you and Mom okay?" Bai Luoyu asked excitedly. He hadn't been back for several years, and seeing that his father had obviously aged, his eyes were a little moist.
"Okay, everything is fine. This time, it's all thanks to the leader Chen of Baoxing Village, otherwise our Lishu Town might be gone." Mayor Bai thought about it and hadn't introduced them yet.
When I looked again, Gu Nianchen was gone. I looked outside and saw from afar that Gu Nianchen was organizing people to clean up the battlefield, count the number of people, and the prisoners.
Bai Luoyu followed Mayor Bai's gaze and saw Gu Nianchen's back. He stared at him for a long time before turning around and saying, "I'm going to say hello to the boss. Dad, please take the villagers back to rest as soon as possible."
"Yes, I must thank you Uncle Chen very much. Thanks to them, otherwise with so many people coming, we wouldn't have anyone left." Mayor Bai said, holding Bai Luoyu's hand.
Bai Luoyu nodded: "Don't worry, Dad, I will."
Bai Luoyu was a bit taken aback when he heard his father mention Uncle Chen. He did remember that the head of the mountain had a son who was only a few years older than him. Where did this Uncle Chen come from? Could it be that the old head of the mountain had his younger brother take over the position of head butler?
After thinking about it for a moment, he didn't care and walked towards Gu Nianchen: "Uncle Chen, thank you to the uncles and aunts of Baoxing Village for what happened today. Luo Yu is very grateful. I will take a rest tomorrow and hold a banquet in Lishu Town to thank our brothers of Baoxing Village."
Bai Luoyu walked up to Gu Nianchen, clasped his fists and expressed his gratitude, but Gu Nianchen was stunned.
【Uncle Chen...】
What is coming has finally come, you little brat. Even if your dad calls me brother, shouldn't you still consider my age?
Gu Nianchen touched his chin awkwardly, and suddenly felt relieved. He did look a bit old with this beard. He had been thinking about how to deal with Li Dapao these past two days and had forgotten about this matter.
"I don't deserve it. If you don't mind, Marshal Yu, just call me Brother Chen. I'm 32 years old, not much older than you." Gu Nianchen thought that he had to make it clear, otherwise there would be a generation difference.
"Haha, okay, Brother Chen is straightforward, just call me Luo Yu. We must have a drink tonight. I rushed all the way, afraid to see Lishu Town littered with corpses when I returned. I didn't expect Brother Chen to be so effective. He used only one-fifth of the local troops to almost wipe out the enemy. I'd really like to ask for your advice." Bai Luoyu said sincerely, without any courtesy at all.
He really admired them from the bottom of his heart. Lishu Town was open and had no high walls, making it difficult to defend. Moreover, the other side was a team with rich combat experience. Even for himself, it would be difficult to achieve such a result.
"Okay, okay. We won't go home until we're drunk tonight. We're all exhausted today. Let's pack up and take a rest first. I'll bring the daughter's red wine that Baoxing Village brews uniquely in the evening." Gu Nianchen patted Bai Luoyu's shoulder.
Bai Luoyu's eyes were bloodshot, and it was obvious that he had not rested all the way. He was holding on with just one breath, not to mention that he had been injured before. Gu Nianchen felt so distressed.
"Okay, then I'll wait for Brother Chen." Bai Luoyu also patted Gu Nianchen's shoulder and said.
"Okay, haha." The two of them walked outside together. The brothers from Baoxing Village in the distance had already brought back the two cannons that were thrown away on the road.
"Boss, this is a good thing, but it's too damn heavy." A brother said while patting the cannon.
"Does Luo Yu have any men who can assemble this?" Gu Nianchen turned to look at Bai Luoyu.
Bai Luoyu was startled at first, then frowned and said with some regret: "Yes, there is, but the parts of this thing are specially made, and it is difficult to find replacements. Since they have disassembled it, it is not easy for us to reassemble it."
"Haha, as long as you know how, here are the parts." Gu Nianchen took a small cloth bundle from a stone block on the side and threw it to Bai Luoyu.
The latter took it and looked at it, then laughed instantly: "So it was Brother Chen who took it apart. I'm getting more and more curious about Brother Chen. You can even do this."
"I have nothing to do in the village, so I just look at everything and do something random, haha." Gu Nianchen laughed modestly.
My wife is praising me, I’m so happy~Wuhu~
"Brother Chen is too modest. Leave it to me. Once it's assembled, I'll let the brothers from Baoxing Village come and get it tomorrow." Although Bai Luoyu was also concerned about the two cannons, they were captured by Baoxing Village after all. It was not reasonable for them to think about it, as that would discourage the brothers from Baoxing Village.
"Hey, Luo Yu, we don't need this cannon. Baoxing Village is located at a high altitude, so we don't need it. Besides, we brothers don't know how to tinker with it. But I won't be shy about giving you the rest of the guns and bullets. We've used up a lot of the village's assets this time, so we need to replenish them." Gu Nianchen said.
"Of course. Since Brother Chen said so, I won't be polite in giving you this cannon. I will definitely reward you handsomely." Bai Luoyu clasped his fists.
"Okay, you're welcome. I'll take my brothers back first."
"Brother Chen, see you tonight."
Gu Nianchen waved his hand and began to return to the village with the brothers of Baoxing Village. Although the battle lasted all night, all the men were in high spirits.
They had never fought such a thrilling battle before. At this moment, they were extremely confident and felt that they could win even if a division came.
They praised each other along the way, but what they talked about most was Gu Nianchen's precise and meticulous strategy.
Gu Nianchen's face was full of smiles, of course not because of these people's flattery, but because he finally met Bai Luoyu.
