"Asshole!"
At the foot of the mountain, Liu Xiao's face turned pale and he cursed loudly. He had fought against bandits countless times outside Qingyang City, and although he had failed before, he had never been as embarrassed as this time.
He retreated without even getting a good look at what the thief looked like.
This battle was probably the fastest defeat he had suffered since he became a captain.
What a shame!
"Boss, a total of ninety-eight brothers died."
A military officer came to report. Veins on Liu Xiao's forehead throbbed and he clenched his right fist and smashed it towards the rock beside him.
Bang!
The rock was fine. Liu Xiao's face was distorted with pain, but in front of his subordinates, he had to maintain his image and kept his right fist in the position of hitting the rock.
"I understand. You can go down."
Liu Xiao spoke calmly, and as soon as Junhou left, he immediately withdrew his hand, shook it vigorously, and grinned as if he was wearing a mask of pain.
Fuck you!
Why is this stone so hard!
Liu Xiao was extremely angry and wanted to vent his anger, but ended up causing himself pain and his hand seemed to be bleeding.
It's all those damn bandits.
Liu Xiao felt a little aggrieved. He was very proud at the banquet yesterday, and Xue Wenjuan and a group of nobles also flattered him.
He boasted that as long as he took action, the bandits would be destroyed.
Now I feel like I've been slapped in the face. I have to go back in disgrace. Those nobles won't dare to say anything to my face, but they will definitely laugh at me behind my back.
We can't just let this go. Take a deep breath and wait until the pain in your right hand subsides.
Liu Xiao called Sima, Junhou, Bingcaoyuan and other generals to discuss the matter.
"Tell me, what are the ways to capture Yiyun Village?"
Several officers looked at each other, and Sima said cautiously: "Captain, you also heard what the bandits said before, saying that their leader is the reincarnation of Thunder God."
"What nonsense! You believe this?"
"We don't believe it, but the other party did use magic tonight, otherwise how could there be such a strong light? If there was no light, we would be able to capture the village."
Sima and Junhou nodded. The light hurt their eyes and they couldn't see anything clearly. They couldn't fight the enemy at all.
Liu Xiao remained silent. This was the first time he encountered such a situation.
What is that light? It's like looking directly at the sun.
Sima said: "Captain, I don't think there is any need for a night raid. We can just fight the bandits openly. They are definitely not our match."
The military marquis also nodded and said, "During the day, their strong lights will be useless. Why don't we go and encircle and suppress them tomorrow?"
Liu Xiao nodded slowly. He was indeed a little too obsessed with night attacks. The previous several anti-bandit campaigns were all successful because of night attacks, so he was a little obsessed.
Sima was right. With the equipment they had, it would be easy for them to crush the bandits.
"Go down the mountain, find a village to rest for the night, and then go up the mountain to suppress the bandits tomorrow."
Liu Xiao said that they definitely couldn't sleep outside in such a cold weather. Although the soldiers had good physical fitness, they couldn't stand sleeping in the wild.
As for whether going to the village late at night would disturb others, it was not within his consideration.
I'm here to suppress the bandits. It's for your own good. It's not normal for me to sleep in your house.
…
Yiyun Village.
Pei Yun drove the still excited bandits to sleep. The other side had failed in their night attack and so many people had died. They would definitely not give up and would come tomorrow.
Let these bandits get enough rest so that they can respond better tomorrow.
There are 98 sets of armor piled up in the yard. If there were so many armors in the past, the bandits would have scrambled for them, but now no one even looks at them.
They wore stab-proof suits, and other armor was needed there. Moreover, the crotch armor was heavy to wear, not as light as the stab-proof suits. Flexibility was also very important during combat.
Moreover, light clothes can also reduce physical exertion, so the officers and soldiers do not care about their armor.
Pei Yun also went back to his room to sleep, and Sun Niaoniao crawled into the bed, but Pei Yun just held her in his arms to sleep. He had a battle tomorrow, so he had to conserve his strength.
“Failed.”
In the room, Zhang Zeshan sat down on the bed with mixed feelings.
When he heard shouting and killing outside, he went to the window and listened carefully. After a while, the shouting and killing disappeared, and then he saw the bandits carrying back a lot of armor.
Zhang Zeshan knew that his soldiers had been defeated, but he did not expect them to be defeated so quickly. He felt a little disappointed, but also a little relieved.
He didn't know what his mood was now.
He wanted to be rescued and continue to live the life of a superior person in the aristocratic family, but he also wanted to stay here. It was not because he wanted to be abused, but after he was convinced that Pei Yun was the reincarnation of a god, his thoughts changed.
Gods can live forever, and he wants to live forever now.
Moreover, he had also heard those bandits mention the List of Gods, which said that as long as one was noticed by the boss, one could become a god.
This made Zhang Zeshan feel itchy.
So he is very conflicted now. He wants to be rescued, but he also doesn't want to be rescued.
I am probably ill.
Zhang Zeshan lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. If only these bandits could be nicer to him and not use him as an object for venting their anger, he felt that he would most likely stay.
But these bandits treated him so badly. They didn't treat him as a nobleman at all, but as a woman.
Do you want to go talk to Pei Yun?
If he treats me better, I won't go down the mountain.
…
On the second day, early in the morning, He Niang had already prepared the meal before daybreak. Pei Yun deliberately made a more sumptuous meal for her. In addition to the possibility of a battle with officers and soldiers, today was also the first day of the new year, so it was understandable to eat a good meal.
