Since there is still room for maneuver, everyone will naturally not kill people easily, and it is best to capture them alive.

Du Xinghuai led his team quietly up the mountain. The bandits on the mountain were all immersed in sweet dreams. Even the people standing guard at the mountain gate were drowsy and did not force themselves to pay attention to their surroundings.

There is no way, they are used to being lazy.

Because the people on the mountain were all farmers, the county magistrate did not dare to take any serious action even if he led troops to suppress the bandits.

Every time the bandits were suppressed, it was a small fight. Over time, the bandits on the mountain lost their vigilance. Most of the people standing guard and patrolling on the mountain were just trying to save face, casually wandering around twice and then went back.

Such a lazy style made Du Xinghuai and his party very relaxed on the mountain. They didn't expend much energy at all, and they quickly reached the bandit's den on the mountain.

"Wait a minute---"

Du Xinghuai saw the sentinel tower built high up. It was a little far away, and he could vaguely see figures.

Du Xinghuai was worried that their whereabouts would be exposed and cause a commotion among the bandits on the mountain, so he ordered everyone to stop.

Military orders are overwhelming. Although Du Xinghuai is only a temporary commander, as long as they follow Du Xinghuai for one day, the mission is not over yet. Du Xinghuai's orders are the highest level.

Everyone held their breath and concentrated on finding a more secluded place, observing carefully.

"Sir, the man on guard seems to have fallen asleep."

Among the soldiers and horses brought by Du Xinghuai, there was a man with good eyesight. Looking at the sentry tower from a distance, the bandits who were supposed to be seriously guarding the sentry seemed to be leaning on the pillars, drowsy.

"Are you sure? Did you see clearly?"

Du Xinghuai didn't look so good, he just saw someone on top. As for whether the other person was awake or asleep, he couldn't tell clearly.

"Nine times out of ten."

After all, it was a task, and the other party didn't say it was 100%, which meant that he roughly expressed that he was quite sure of it.

"If anyone has good accuracy, throw a stone and try."

After Du Xinghuai heard what the other party said, he asked in a low voice if there was a better way to throw things.

If you use a small stone to test, even if the other person is not asleep and does not see the person, most of the time, you will only think that it is your own illusion.

"I'll come---"

Among the team brought by Du Xinghuai, there were one or two who were really good at throwing things. After some discussion, they decided to let the strongest among them try.

After all, they were quite far away from the village. Even if their accuracy was good, without the strength, everything they said would be in vain.

In order to test as quickly as possible whether the people above him were asleep, Du Xinghuai directly gave up his leading position and asked the other party to come forward directly to try, which would make him more sure.

The other party casually picked up a small stone on the ground. After holding the stone for several positions, he determined the best position. He took a deep breath and threw the stone in his hand vigorously. Then he quickly lowered his head and threw the stone in his hand.

His whereabouts were concealed.

Du Xinghuai watched with bated breath as the stone moved forward and hit directly near the platform. After waiting for a long time, Du Xinghuai saw that there was still no movement from the people above, and he was sure that the people were really asleep.

The two people who came to the cottage yesterday were different from everyone else in the cottage. Different from their laziness and lack of vigilance, they had already been alert when Du Xinghuai was only about 200 meters away from the cottage.

Sensing something was wrong, he got up directly and went directly to the entrance of the mountain village without disturbing anyone.

It was a coincidence that when the person who threw stones on the platform to test whether he was sleeping stood up, they happened to be watched by two people. They immediately realized that it was Du Xinghuai.

"Go wake everyone up."

One of them said.

"good."

The other person nodded without hesitation and went directly to wake everyone up.

However, in order to prevent casualties later, the two of them estimated the time, slowed down, and walked slowly into the cottage.

If killing Du Xinghuai directly in front of everyone might arouse people's suspicion, the two of them just killed him directly. There was no need to sneak into the village and fish in troubled waters.

Du Xinghuai and others, who had no idea that the people in the village were about to wake up, made sure that the people on guard were not awake. They suppressed the excitement in their hearts and walked forward quickly. Before the people on guard woke up and noticed, Du Xinghuai and others

The people were tied up and a piece of rag was randomly stuffed into their mouths to prevent them from screaming and waking up everyone in the village.

"Sir, they are all tied up."

After confirming that there was no one else at the gate of the village, someone came forward to report to Du Xinghuai.

"Very well, let's continue to..."

Du Xinghuai was just about to say that everyone should continue to move forward. Before the bandits woke up, he tied up everyone. Who knew that at this time, the entire village was boiling with excitement.

The noisy sound made Du Xinghuai quickly realize that all the bandits in the village were awake!!!

I don't know why everyone in the cottage was still awake even though no one was alerted. Du Xinghuai followed his instinct and directly issued an order to all the soldiers, "Quick, come forward immediately and kill all those who have not yet received weapons."

Tie them all up!!!"

They would be wary because the bandits were all farmers, but that was not the case for the bandits on the mountain. They had to capture everyone before they could get their weapons.

"yes!!!"

Everyone answered loudly, divided their work, each found a direction, caught the bandits who had not even changed their clothes neatly, and then tied them up and brought them directly back to their team.

It's a pity that no matter how fast Du Xinghuai and the others moved, without being familiar with the mountain, they could only capture a small number of people alive and take them away, but there were still a large number of people who were still there when the officers and soldiers arrived.

, changed clothes and took weapons.

Not wanting to conflict with the bandits, everyone gave up the idea of ​​going forward to capture the bandits and quickly retreated to their ranks.

"Who is standing guard today? Who is patrolling? Everyone has come to the mountain stronghold, but no one has notified us."

"That is to say, if a relative of the head of the family hadn't gotten up early and discovered something was wrong, no one would have known what was going on when we were all in trouble."

"That's it, that's it..."

Everyone was complaining, but they didn't notice that the people they were complaining about didn't want to be informed, but before they were informed, everyone was captured alive, tied up, and given a piece of rag.
Chapter completed!
