More than 200 horse bandits finished their game while people were on their backs.
Shen Lie ordered to kill all the horse bandits, leaving only ten alive. The horses were immobile for the time being, leaving fifty people to look after the horses. The remaining soldiers adjusted their status as quickly as possible and quickly circled the southwest to outflank them.
The horse bandits, who had no idea that their companions had been wiped out until only ten of them were left, were still speeding up to collect the stolen goods.
Only the police sentry horse bandits were still waiting for the chased horse bandits to come back, which made them feel very uneasy.
After the distant sound of horse hooves gradually disappeared, the wilderness became vast and empty, and the huge dark night was like a pair of dark eyes.
Until the birds chirping loudly from the southwest, the horse bandits hurriedly looked around.
There is only a flute sound, which means calling for help in a critical situation.
"Oops!"
"problem occurs!"
The horse bandits drew their sabers one after another and rushed toward the southwest.
A small-scale annihilation battle in which two hundred people were not injured greatly boosted the morale of Tanzhou's troops. Everyone raised their spears and followed Dai Yu to kill, and their blood was boiling.
The bandits on horseback shouted something they didn't understand and came towards them, and the shouts of Tanzhou soldiers and horses became even louder.
The two parties are fighting against each other, but they are fighting fiercely.
More and more horse bandits came from other villages, and Tanzhou soldiers and horses also rushed forward. Their numbers and weapons had too many advantages. Wave after wave of horse bandits fell, and the owner's good horse was immediately taken away.
Seeing that something was wrong, the few remaining horse bandits quickly climbed onto their mounts and retreated toward the southwest.
At the pass of Baigu Mountain, tall and thin young men were standing on horseback, each with a gun in hand, and no one could stop them.
The horse recognized its master's murderous intention, and moved restlessly back and forth, ready to jump at any time.
The police sentry horse bandit who had narrowly escaped death recognized him and shouted angrily in blunt Chinese: "Who are you?"
As soon as the man pulled the reins, the horse suddenly roared and galloped forward.
The young man's handsome and smooth face gradually became clearer under the moonlight. The fire in the village made his black eyes as bright as a torch, full of murderous intent.
The police sentry horseman raised his saber, but his hand was weak.
Fear had never engulfed him so deeply. As soon as he saw this man riding, he knew it was over.
If the King of Hell blocks the road, who can escape?
What else are you fighting for? The policeman immediately put away his knife and wanted to take advantage of the chaos to get around him and run away quickly.
Amidst the repeated screams of his companions, he suddenly heard the strong wind behind his ears.
The police sentry horse bandit screamed in fright, turned around and drew his saber, but before he could swing it away, the spear struck him on the head with great force.
His vision went dark, and he fell forward, got caught in the reins and stirrups, and was dragged by his mount in an extremely painful hanging posture.
Before he died, he saw the other party's black eyes looking at him coldly. He opened his eyes wide and died completely.
The village erupted in enthusiastic cheers.
"Wow!!"
"we won!!"
"Won!!"
Dai Yu hit him with a spear: "Shut up, everyone! Save people first!"
Many of the women who were tied with ropes were injured and killed because the horse bandits saw something wrong, and the living people burst into tears.
Ten people were also left alive at the scene. They were kicked to the ground and forced to hold their heads in their hands.
Dai Yu rode on horseback to see if Shen Lie was back. When he turned around, he saw a few Tanzhou soldiers there who were happily loading food and clothing. The people in Dai Yu were dumbfounded.
"What are you doing!" Dai Yu roared.
The soldiers turned to look and shouted excitedly: "Dai Zhi Ling, look! Let's take it back so that our brothers can have enough to eat!"
"Put it back!"
"But, this...this dried meat smells so good!"
"You're a bitch!" Dai Yu yelled, picked up a spear and chased after him.
A group of soldiers hurriedly ran, dragging large bamboo baskets full of things as they ran.
"Put it away, let it go! We'll put it back right now!"
"Isn't this because the brothers can have a good meal after a hard night's work?"
"Five or six miles away, it's not easy to walk. How tiring it is!"
"That's right!"
"Get out of here!" Dai Yu yelled, "Put it back!"
"I told you I was going to let him go, but Dai Zhi ordered me not to fight him!"
…
In addition to those who stole food, there were also those who snatched horses and made the most noise.
There were several groups of people fighting each other there, with their heads and heads bleeding.
Dai Yu was so angry that he led several teams to step forward to stop him.
One team received a punch from both sides.
The soldiers in charge of the team leader were unhappy and rushed forward one after another: "Why do you beat our team leader..."
The scene suddenly became more chaotic.
As soon as they saw Shen Lie returning on horseback, several soldiers at the entrance of the village rushed forward: "General, they are fighting."
The young general looked calm and unsurprised at all. After dismounting, he handed over his mount and another long rope to them.
"I know." Shen Lie said, raising his feet and leaving.
The soldier looked along the long rope and saw a long string of fine horses, stretching as far as the eye could see into the darkness.
Several soldiers suddenly laughed, grinning from ear to ear.
"I'll go take a look!" a soldier said happily.
"I'll go too!" another person shouted, running with his companion, counting loudly as he ran.
Dai Yu persuaded a bunch of people to come, but he himself was exhausted and gasping for air.
I heard someone shouting from a distance: "The general is back!"
Everyone looked up.
"The general is back!" A team was rushing to break up the fight, "Stop fighting!"
"What a general, I won't kill you if I beat you again!" another person shouted.
Shen Lie was covered in blood, but looking at his steps and clothes, it seemed that the blood was not his own.
However, Shen Lie did not come here, but walked to the other side of the village.
When Dai Yu saw this, he immediately ran away with his men.
Shi, the staff commander who counted the casualties, was one of these Tanzhou soldiers and horses. His surname was Zhao and his given name was Jixiang. He was of medium to thin build and had some gentle facial features.
Seeing Shen Lie coming over, Zhao Jixiang raised his hand and said, "General."
"Has the inventory been completed?" Shen Lie asked.
"Except for ten of the enemy's surviving members, all of them were wiped out, a total of 309 people in and outside the village!"
"I killed all the deserters who went west, twenty-three of them."
"That's three hundred and thirty-two people."
"What are the casualties of our troops?"
Zhao Jixiang expressed regret: "Three people were killed, one of whom had just died and accidentally cut a bloody wound on his neck with a saber. He could not be saved. Five people were seriously injured and more than 20 people were slightly injured."
"Master!" Dai Yu strode over with people.
"Is there still fighting over there?" Shen Lie asked.
Dai Yu said "Uh" and said shyly: "I don't know how to manage troops, so I can't suppress them."
"You are not an officer, so it's okay," Shen Lie looked at the captains behind Dai Yu and said in a deep voice, "You are the captains."
"General, please punish me!" The captains all knelt down.
Shen Lie, who rarely showed any facial expressions, raised his eyebrows: "Penalty now?"
"Nonsense!" Dai Yu shouted at them, "Is it the time for punishment now? Now is the time for you to replace punishment with merit. Go and clear the scene quickly!"
"Yes!" the team members responded.
As soon as they left, dozens of women came from the other side.
When Shen Lie heard the noise, he turned around. The women knelt down towards him, wiped their tears and cried: "Thank you, General, for saving your life! Thank you, General!!"
"It doesn't have to be like this," Shen Lie frowned, "Get up quickly."
"Thank you, General!"
"Thank you General!"
"Alas!" Zhao Jixiang sighed, "General, please accept this thank you. If it weren't for us, they would probably be in trouble worse than death."
"Go and help." Shen Lie looked at Dai Yu and the soldiers on the other side.
