Chapter 44: The Green Ray Unsheathed

Hearing the order, the nine soldiers immediately divided into three groups, each found a few large trees as cover, and bent their bows and arrows to return fire in the direction where the arrows were flying.

Hua An and Wang San glanced at each other, each holding a bow and arrow back to back and shooting around.

"Wow, big brother, one of our brothers was shot dead."

"Big brother, another of our brothers has been shot dead."

After several rounds of bow and arrow battles, the bandits were shot dead by five or six people, while Hua'an's side suffered no casualties.

The little leader of the bandits was completely angry, he originally planned to use his many people and the advantage of familiar terrain to carry out a surprise attack, quickly and completely annihilate Hua'an and others who broke into his territory, so as to invite credit in front of the bandit leader, but he didn't expect that his plan not only did not come true, but was shot by Hua'an and others who broke into five or six brothers, obviously this group of bandits underestimated the strength of Hua'an and his party, and mistook Hua'an and others who broke into their territory as ordinary hunters.

After all, he has always been arrogant and domineering, how can the little leader of the bandits stand such humiliation.

I saw him pulling his throat and shouting: "Where did the little thief dare to go to the uncle's territory to spread wild, he is tired of being crooked, there are thousands of brothers on the uncle's mountain, you just wait for death!" ā€

Hua An listened, the corners of his mouth smiled slightly, he picked up an arrow, pulled the bow full and pointed an arrow in the direction from which the voice came.

"Ah.........h

With a scream, the most powerful assistant beside the little leader of the bandits was shot through the body by Hua An's arrow, and he lay on the ground weakly.

"Brother, brother, wake up." The little bandit leader roared in pain.

Actually missed, Hua An shook his head with a smile.

"Big brother, I think they are just a bunch of hunters with excellent archery skills, and we rushed over to deal with them with broadswords and spears." A bandit Xiao Luo built yƬ road.

"Okay, I must kill them all to avenge the dead brothers, and the brothers will rush me." The little leader of the bandits took the lead and picked up the big knife and rushed towards Hua'an and the others.

Because they were not very far away, and the bandits used big trees as cover to dodge left and right when they rushed over, even though Hua An and the others shot with all their might, they only shot and injured five or six people.

Seeing that the remaining ten thieves rushed over with big knives and spears, Hua An sneered contemptuously, and ordered sideways: "These thieves have all been handed over to me, and you all retreat." ā€

After Hua An finished speaking, he threw his bow and arrow back, pulled out his Qingyu sword and rushed over in a few steps, and the bandit who rushed to the front raised his big knife and slashed at Hua An.

Hua An didn't dodge either, and swung his Qingyu sword to meet him.

"Click"

With the piercing sound of metal breaking, the big knife in the bandit's hand broke in two in an instant.

Sure enough, it was a treasure knife, and as soon as it came out of the sheath, it showed the strength of sharpening iron like clay, and Hua Anzhong was pleasantly surprised. And the thief Xiao Luo, who broke the big knife, looked at the half-cut knife in his hand in a daze, with an incredible expression.

Hua An would not give a wicked bandit time to think, he swung the Qingyu Sword and slashed the thief in front of him into two pieces.

Looking at the bloody two stumps, Hua An did not have a trace of pity and guilt in his heart, because he killed a bandit, although a person may have many reasons to become a bandit, and there may be many hardships, but these are not excuses for robbing homes and bullying the weak, besides, this group of bandits killed nearly three hundred soldiers of the Northern Expeditionary Army a day ago, which made Hua An full of hatred for them.

The tragic situation of the first bandit being cut into two sections made the remaining bandits stop in fear, they hesitated for a while, Hua An rushed in a few steps, brandished the Qingyu sword in his hand and killed several bandits in a row, each of the thieves who was killed was torn in armor, and blood gushed like a spring.

The remaining bandits had fully understood at this time that they were no match for Hua An and the others, and even Hua An alone could easily eliminate them, but it was obviously too late to escape.

The little leader of the bandits and the only two remaining little thieves around him leaned close together, raised the weapons in their hands and looked at Hua An who was approaching step by step with the Qingyu Sword in great fear.

Looking at the few thieves trembling with fear in front of him, Hua An smiled contemptuously, the thieves lived a life of licking blood from the knife, either killing people or being beheaded, and they were actually scared like this.

Hua An fiercely raised his sword and pointed at the little leader of the bandits in front of him, and said coldly: "Do you want to die or want to live." ā€

The little leader of the bandits saw Hua An stabbing with his sword at first glance, thinking that his life was about to be lost, and he was so frightened that he peed his pants in fear and nervousness.

When he found that Hua'an's sword did not really stab and gave him a chance to live, he nodded and repeated as if grasping a life-saving straw: "Don't kill me, I don't want to die, I don't want to die." ā€

The two little thieves behind the little leader of the bandits were even more frightened, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed to thank him, for fear that Hua An would change his mind after being in a bad mood for a while.

Hua An glared at the three of them and said coldly: "Okay, since you don't want to die, then I'll ask you and you answer, if there is half a lie, don't blame me for being polite." ā€

Hua An said as he placed the Qingyu Sword in front of him and fiddled with it a few times, and in the bright moonlight, the cold light reflected by the blade swept over the bandit's eyes in turn. The thief who was so frightened that he knelt on the ground didn't even dare to say anything.

Hua An nodded and said lightly: "Very good, the first question, how many people are there in your gang of bandits." ā€

"More than two thousand."

"More than 10,000 brothers."

"There are 20,000 horses."

The three thieves immediately opened their mouths to reply, but the answer was completely different.

Hua An was furious, kicked at the nearest bandit leader, and reprimanded: "Dare to fool this son, how many people are there." ā€

The little leader of the bandits who was kicked spit out a mouthful of blood, and hurriedly got up and explained: "Childe spares his life, we are all right, please listen to the villain's explanation." ā€

Hua Anxin became more and more suspicious, there was something hidden in the fact that these numbers were so different. He stared at the little bandit leader suspiciously, and said coldly: "Since everything is right, then you have to give me a reasonable explanation." ā€

The little leader of the bandits looked at Hua An in a daze, and almost explained with a crying voice: "Childe doesn't know, the village behind us only has more than 2,000 horses, but our boss has three villages, the total village has more than 6,000 brothers, and the other village is also more than 2,000 horses, adding up to just over 10,000. ā€

Hua An nodded when he heard this, and he began to understand that the remaining 10,000 people should belong to another group of bandits, but they were relatively close to the bandits here, so they could also be regarded as their own people.

Sure enough, the little leader of the bandits paused, and then said: "Our boss also has a brother, and on the other side of Maoshan Mountain, there are more than 10,000 people and horses, so there are 20,000 people in total. ā€

"Good, good." Hua An nodded with satisfaction, and then asked, "Did you intercept the convoy transporting military rations yesterday, and where is the military rations now?" ā€

The little leader of the bandits was stunned and trembled: "You are the military master, the military master spares his life, the little one has always been in charge of the house, and he has not killed a single soldier." ā€

"Yes! Military master, the little one didn't kill a single soldier, the military rations, the military rations are in the granary of the stockade. The two little thieves hurriedly replied.

Hua An listened to it and breathed a deep sigh of relief, 10,000 loads of military rations were finally found, and the next thing to do was to attack the bandits' lair and recapture the military rations.

"There are several roads leading to your cottage, whether there are traps, how the troops in the village are deployed, and whether you usually practice." Hua An asked four questions in one breath.

The little leader of the bandits naturally answered honestly, and through the answer of the small leader of the bandits, Hua'an learned that there was only one big road in front of the bandits' stockade, hundreds of traps were dug, and there was a hidden path behind the village, but it was said that few people in the stockade knew.

And the reason why Hua'an didn't encounter a trap was because they shuttled through the dense forest for the concealment of reconnaissance, and they didn't walk a spacious road at all. So it's a lurking sentry rather than a trap.

Because the stockade is extremely hidden, and there are so many traps in front of the stockade, ordinary enemies and a small number of officers and soldiers cannot encircle and suppress it at all, so there is no decent deployment inside the stockade, but there are some sporadic archers in the corner tower erected on the wall in front of the stockade. The thief's plan is to be idle, and it is impossible to practice.

Knowing so many details, Hua An was completely relaxed, he turned to look at the few soldiers behind him, and ordered: "You guys dispose of all the corpses here, and then work in groups of three, each with a 'guide' to mark all the traps on the front." ā€

"Yes, team." The nine soldiers said as they buried the bodies on the ground, and then marched in groups of three to the surrounding traps with one bandit.

Hua An and Wang San glanced at each other, and the two quietly walked around the back of the cottage, because Hua An understood that once the bandits could not withstand the attack of the frontal officers and soldiers, they would definitely escape from the path behind the village.

All Hua'an had to do was find this path and preemptively control it before the main army attacked, so as not to let a single bandit escape.

The vegetation behind the bandit village was much more lush than in the front, and it became more and more hazy in the moonlight, Hua An and Wang San searched for a long time along the dense bushes, and finally found an entrance between the two old pine trees.

Walking along the intersection, the road inside has been overgrown with weeds because no one walks all year round, if it weren't for the little leader of the bandits who swore that there was a path here, Hua'an really found it hard to believe that this was a road, at least it wasn't like a road walked by people.

The road was too narrow for one person to pass through, and the branches above the head blocked the moonlight, so the further you went, the darker it became, and within thirty paces you could no longer see your fingers.

Wang San fought a cold war and exclaimed: "Brother Hua An, it's too dark here, let's go back!" ā€

Hua An also felt that since he had found the path for the bandits to escape, as long as he sent troops to guard the exit, there was no need to go in and find out, so he nodded and said, "Okay!" Let's go back first. ā€
