Looking at his worried men, Mo Han laughed: "If the King of Zhenbei really has the ability to fight back, he won't be able to attack with arrows. He has led his men to kill him long ago. But he has not made any movement until now. Maybe He is escaping with his soldiers."
"Escape?"
The men didn't believe it.
"You don't understand King Zhenbei. He will not let go of any glimmer of hope. If he can fight back, how can he still let us treat his injuries? He has led his men to fight out long ago. Melee combat is their strength. , but I don’t want to fight with them hand-to-hand. We still have war horses and can launch a charge." Mo Han said.
"But General, I don't know how many of those things are ahead. We don't have many horses left." His subordinates said worriedly.
They had entered the hinterland of the Daqian Dynasty. Without their war horses, it would be difficult for them to escape. Once surrounded by a large army, there would be only one way to die.
"Who said we took the main road? Let's take the wheat fields and the river!" Mo Han's eyes flashed with murderous intent.
He has been observing his surroundings. The river is rugged and there are countless gravels, which is not conducive to the galloping of war horses.
But it was the best way now, even if there would be losses, he had to do it.
If we let King Zhenbei run away, all our efforts will be in vain.
Not to mention a hero, he will be a sinner.
The team was quickly integrated. There were less than 400 horses and more than 500 warriors.
After giving the order, Mo Han personally led the team and rushed into the wheat field with everyone.
"No, there's an ambush."
Mo Han shouted, abandoned his horse, and jumped out of the pit.
"Mohan, your death has come!"
Zhenbei Hou roared and stabbed him diagonally.
Ahead, Tiger Boss roared loudly and also raised his knife to kill Mo Han.
Bai Yan was watching from the hillside. The battle was still going on, but he knew it was over.
"Xiaohe, take the villagers out on a detour and block Sankou's retreat. You must not let anyone go."
Bai Yan took a broken knife and led the villagers from the mountain road to the outside of the village.
From time to time, sangcos would escape from the wheat fields, but they would soon be captured or killed.
This battle lasted for several hours before all the Sangko were eliminated.
Except for dozens of prisoners, all were killed and no one escaped.
"Bai Yan, thanks to you this time, otherwise I wouldn't be able to catch this fox."
Qing Gong immediately walked up to Bai Yan and gave Bai Yan a big hug.
"I just came up with a little strategy, and it's all thanks to the Marquis and the soldiers. Marquis, you didn't let a single sangco escape, right? I'm worried that they will take revenge on the villagers." Bai Yan suggested.
"Don't worry, no one has escaped." Qing Gong said confidently.
An ambush in advance was an overwhelming advantage, so he still had some confidence.
He pulled Bai Yan to Mo Han; "This is Sang Kou's Gale General Mo Han. I have fought against him many times, and I rarely get an advantage. Today, it's all thanks to you."
Bai Yan nodded slightly and said nothing. He had seen this man before on the battlefield. He was a fierce general. The cavalry he led was also known for their speed and killed many people.
At this moment, Mo Han raised his blood-covered cheek and stared at Bai Yan: "I know you!"
Hearing this, Qing Gong and the soldiers became solemn.
Bai Yan also felt a thump in his heart. He was wearing a mask that day. Did this guy really recognize him?
He deliberately remained calm and said coldly: "There are so many people who know me, who do you think you are?"
"That's right, how dare you alienate us even though you are a prisoner." Qing Gong kicked Mo Han over and cursed.
Bai Yan helped him catch Mo Han and saved his life. He was his benefactor. He would never doubt Bai Yan, and he didn't think much about it. He just thought that Mo Han wanted to separate.
"Yes, these bandits are very bad. I'm going to help the villagers clean up the battlefield first." Bai Yan found an excuse and walked away.
It would be best if Qing Gong misunderstood, so as not to waste his words.
When dawn came, the battlefield had been cleared. The dead sangcos were also thrown into the mountains for burial, and everything returned to normal.
It's just that the wheat fields were severely damaged, and there were very few surviving wheat seedlings.
After a long night of hard work, everyone was very tired and had no energy to celebrate, so they fell asleep.
Bai Yan did not leave immediately, but asked Xiaohe to make a new knife for him.
After seeing Xiaohe's skills, Qinggong was shocked again.
He originally thought that Bai Yan bought the knife with a lot of money, but he still didn't believe what Bai Yan said before.
Only now did he understand that fifty taels of silver for a knife was really worth it to Bai Yan.
"This furnace and technology are different from what I know. Did you improve it?" Qing Gong quickly discovered the key to the blacksmith shop and asked.
"How do I have such ability? I did everything according to Master Bai's instructions. Including my blacksmithing skills, they were all taught by Master Bai." Xiaohe said with a smile.
Qing Gong took a breath of air and kept looking at Bai Yan.
He saw admiration and respect in Xiaohe's eyes, which proved that Xiaohe was not lying.
A scholar who was good at strategy and could also blacksmith and improve his blacksmithing skills. He even suspected that Bai Yan invented the iron caltrop himself.
Such talents are not said to be unique, but they are almost the same.
He didn't expect to find a treasure while escaping, which made him even happier than when he killed the Sang Kou.
"Master Hou, why are you looking at me like this? It's just a sudden idea, I didn't expect it to be useful." Bai Yan coughed awkwardly.
Qing Gong's look in his eyes made him think that he wanted to knock him down.
"Bai Yan, please stop being modest. None of your talents have ever been matched by others. With your talents, you will be granted the title of general, so why don't you go to Kyoto with me? His Majesty will definitely make use of you."
, when the time comes, we will guard the northern border and resist the Sang bandits." Qing Gong said from the bottom of his heart.
There are few people he admires, and Bai Yan is one of them.
"The Marquis thinks too highly of me. I'm just an unknown scholar. Besides, I'm used to being idle and just want to live a life of drunkenness and dreams." Bai Yan declined.
"A real man has his ambitions in the world. He should establish meritorious deeds and be famous for future generations. How can he linger on having fun?"
"Mr. Marquis, that is your ambition, not mine. Everyone has his own ambitions, Mister Marquis, there is no need to say more. Mister Marquis, how do you plan to deal with these bandits?" Bai Yan asked.
Qing Gong was unwilling to let Bai Yan go, but seeing how determined Bai Yan was, he could only sigh.
"I haven't thought about these bandits yet. I wonder if you have any good ideas?"
Qing Gong was also troubled by this matter. If he let the bandits go, would they continue to do evil? But if they didn't let them go, they had made a promise.
"Why don't you take them away and incorporate them into your team? With their merits, I think it won't be difficult." Bai Yan suggested.
"That's not bad. With Boss Hu's ability, it's okay to be a leader. But will they agree?" Qing Gong asked worriedly.
"They have no choice." Bai Yan said with a smile.
Qing Gong also laughed, yes, these bandits had no choice.
