Feng Susu brought the food to Su Wenyue not just for tasting. Su Wenyue was proficient in cooking and naturally had done in-depth research on this aspect. Otherwise, she would not have been able to make more delicious food. She had very detailed requirements on all aspects of the ingredients and could tell the quality of the food as soon as it took a bite. She could give a lot of ideas and opinions, which was much better than her own research behind closed doors. Feng Susu was just better at pickling, which was just a skill passed down from her ancestors.
"Really?" Su Wenyue's eyes lit up when she heard this. Although these pickled vegetables are inconspicuous and some people even think that they are not presentable, the dishes made with them are very delicious. When she said this, Han Yu laughed at her, saying that she was preparing to eat pickled vegetables for the rest of her life after doing so much research. Su Wenyue's thoughts drifted away as she thought about this.
Han Yu had already explored the road, so all they had to do today was follow the route. The rest of the preparations had been completed last night. After getting up early in the morning and having a full meal, everyone was ready to set off. Although the rain today was heavier than yesterday, it didn't affect anything regardless.
"Victory or defeat depends on our action today. Let's go!" Han Yu had already said everything that needed to be said. He didn't want to say anything more. He led the way and led everyone to the mountain stronghold.
It was pouring rain outside, but the mountain stronghold was bustling with activity. Not only were there a bunch of bandits gathered in the hall drinking, gambling and having fun, but the bandits who were standing outside on guard had also gone back into the house to take shelter from the rain. After all, it was impossible for the officers and soldiers to attack in such weather.
Han Yu chose this time because he knew exactly what these people were thinking. Just as he expected, it didn't take any effort to get rid of the guards outside and enter the stronghold. However, he still didn't dare to be careless. After all, the guards were only a small number of people, and most of the bandits gathered in the hall.
"Boss, what should we do? These bandits are all gathered in the hall. Why don't we rush in and fight them head-on? If we catch them off guard, we will still have the upper hand."
The traitor that Liu Cong went to see was just a small follower, and tipping them off had to choose the right time, which was not always convenient, so Han Yu and the others could only know the general situation. They could not predict that the bandits would gather in the hall today, and time was too tight, so many things could not be prepared in time. Originally, Han Yu was still trying to find a way to instigate a more important person to defect, but those people had already taken action, so now he could only take it one step at a time.
Han Yu thought about it and realized that there was no better way. If it took too long, the bandits inside would definitely notice something was wrong and rush in immediately, catching them off guard and gaining some advantage. Now he had no choice but to do it forcefully. Fortunately, his men had been well trained by him these days. Although there would inevitably be casualties when fighting against the bandits, the chances of winning were still relatively high.
"This is the only way. All of you listen to my command. I'll count to three and then follow me in! Don't show any mercy after you go in. These are bandits who have committed many crimes and have killed people. I know many of you have never been to the battlefield and you may hesitate before taking action. I hope you understand that this is a life-and-death struggle. If you show any mercy or hesitation, we will be the only ones to die."
Although Han Yu had said this before, he repeated it again now. At this critical moment of life and death, no one would be allowed to be soft-hearted.
"Did you understand?!" Although Han Yu's voice was small, it was rare for him to be solemn and serious. Seeing that everyone nodded to show that they understood, Han Yu counted to three and led his men to attack.
"Kill!"
Han Yu rushed to the front, and Liu Cong followed closely behind Han Yu. They rushed forward without hesitation, but were dumbfounded when they saw the situation in the hall. The same was true for others. Even Han Yu couldn't help but show a hint of surprise on his face when he saw this situation.
When they rushed in, the hall was already in chaos, with many people lying on the ground. Some were covered in blood, while others were clean and seemed to be asleep. It was just that the places where they were lying were not right, and it looked a little weird no matter how you looked at them.
"What, what's going on? Did the imperial court send another group of people to suppress the bandits?" Liu Cong looked at the chaotic scene in front of him in confusion. He didn't know how to start. They were all wearing the same clothes, and he couldn't tell which side was the bandit.
"Could it be that the bandits are fighting among themselves?" There were also people who had different opinions from Liu Cong. The court deliberately framed you and sent you here, so why would they send someone else? And it looked more like the bandits were fighting among themselves, okay!
"I also think that it is an internal conflict among the bandits. But what should we do with this situation? Which side should we attack? Or should we wait until they finish fighting before we attack?" Originally, everyone was full of enthusiasm and prepared to fight desperately. They followed Han Yu in and were ready to kill everyone. But who knew that they would have the time and mood to chat at this time.
Han Yu did not answer his subordinates, but looked at the people fighting in front of him and analyzed the situation. It looked like an internal conflict. There were people lying on the ground without injuries, probably drugged. There was a strong smell of alcohol in the hall, probably someone had drugged the alcohol.
Han Yu looked at the bandits in front of him and said that it was a fight between the two sides of the bandits. To be more precise, it was the bandit leader who led his subordinates to surround and kill the four or five young men, and those young men were probably the ones who drugged him.
The four or five young men were good at martial arts and looked young. The oldest was only about 16 or 17 years old, and the youngest was about 12 or 13 years old. Although they were surrounded and attacked, they managed to survive. If they were not too young and limited in many aspects, when they grew up, those bandits would not be their opponents at all. However, the young men were already at a disadvantage. If this continued, they would not be able to hold on for much longer.
"Sir, what should we do?" The people brought by Han Yu did not rush forward rashly but waited for Han Yu's order.
"Help the side with fewer people, those kids." Han Yu said and without waiting for his subordinates to react, he rushed towards the bandits.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
Zhai Li noticed it the moment the soldiers rushed into the hall, but he had no time to pay attention to them. He was struggling with the bandit leader. He felt that he was having a hard time coping and was gradually suppressed by the bandit leader. He knew that something was wrong.
He had known for a long time that the bandit leader's martial arts was better than his, so he chose to sneak into the mountain stronghold and lie in wait. This time he finally found an opportunity, but he didn't expect the bandit leader to be so cunning that he didn't drink the bowl of tainted wine. However, in order to avenge his relatives, he had no choice but to fight hard. He was just worried that even if he risked his life, he might not be able to kill the bandit leader.
