Chapter 51 Intelligence Work
"Huhu~"
Lu Cheng was tired enough, the bandits without weapons were not easy to deal with at all, he was trying to avoid his attacks, and from time to time he fought back with his fists and feet.
"Haha, go on." Baker provoked after easily dodging Lu Cheng's attack.
"My lord, I'm here!"
At this moment, Li Tiezhu, who found Lu Cheng embarrassed, left his opponent to help.
Brush~
Li Tiezhu was also a continuous number of swords, but they were all dodged by Baker.
What kind of level of warrior is this Baker, so good at hiding!
"Huh~ If you can't beat it, call a helper, you have a kind of single-handedness." Baker took the opportunity to pick up a sword from the ground that he didn't know who had fallen.
"Looks like you're the leader of this gang!" Baker looked at Lu Cheng thoughtfully, "That's easy, brothers, the leader of the enemy is here, come over to me!" ”
Baker roared, more bandits and robbers came looking for him, and the pressure on the militia increased.
"Break out, we're too deep!"
Lu Cheng looked at a group of figures in Ulala in all directions, and understood that he had accidentally gone too deep.
No matter how the bandits and robbers besieged it, they were quickly broken through under the crushing of the militia, which was stronger in all aspects.
At this time, the escort team has also been killed, the bandits and robbers are generally some iron or even bronze weapons, and the equipment is completely suppressed by the escort team, and after only dozens of minutes of fighting, the bandits and robbers in a panic state continue to flee the battlefield, and the original numerical advantage is also lost.
After continuing to sweep through the net a few times, the enemies in this area completely disappeared.
"Mr. Arbiter, we've broken up this gang of bandits once and for all!" Simon said excitedly.
"How's it going?" Lu Cheng asked.
"We eliminated a total of 83 people, captured 10 people, and the convoy lost 20 people and wounded 33 people." Simon replied.
Hehe, 50 of them were killed by the militia, and the escort team barely managed to win a crushing victory in a state of sneak attack.
"Clean up the battlefield and treat the wounded, bring back all the prisoners, I will interrogate." Lu Cheng commanded directly.
"Iron Pillar, how are we in terms of losses?" Lu Cheng asked.
"No one was killed, 10 were wounded, but none of them were fatal."
"These are 50 vials of blood activating potions, which are given medicine to the injured and the rest are kept." Lu Cheng took out 50 potions from the package.
"Thank you, sir." After receiving the medicine, Li Tiezhu immediately arranged for the wounded to be administered.
It was getting darker, and it was the darkest time before dawn.
After returning to the large army, the news of the triumph of the escort and the militia spread quickly among the civilians, and everyone cheered, the civilians were not warriors after all, although they held weapons, they were only barely able to defend themselves, and they were not at all opponents of bandits and robbers.
After the biggest threat disappeared, the convoy was busy again, the goods began to be loaded, and the vehicles in a circle were pushed out one by one, and soon they were able to complete their preparations and continue on the road, and Lu Cheng and Cody Simon and others also took advantage of this time to interrogate the prisoners.
"Say! Why are you ambushing us? Simon asked, patting a captive on the face.
"My lord, I ...... We didn't ambush you, I'...... We were just looking for treasure in the neighborhood. The captive replied in horror.
"Who are you fooling? Where you can't go, you have to stop in this place to look for treasure, and hide in the woods on the side of the road! Simon didn't believe it at all.
"My lord, I really didn't lie to you, our boss Barry said that there is a treasure nearby, let us go treasure hunting with him tomorrow." The captive trembled and pointed to the other captives and said, "If you don't believe me, you can ask them." ”
"Yes, my lord, we're just here to hunt for treasure!"
"My lord, what he said is true."
......
The other captives also scrambled to echo each other, agreeing that they had come in search of the treasure.
Simon was also confused, this script was not quite right.
"What a treasure! What did your boss say? Simon pressed on.
"I don't know, the boss never says much, we only know that it's a big treasure, and only the eldest Barry and the second Baker know what it is."
"Tell me about your eldest and second." Lu Cheng asked.
"Our eldest and second are said to be mid-level fighters, and the rest of us are no match for the two of them anyway. They had come to the mountains about four months ago, and we had been small groups of people who had occupied the top of the mountain, and the two of them came and said that we couldn't get much gold for such a small fight, and then after defeating our original leader, they merged us together. ”
"Do you know where they all came from?"
"I don't know, the accent isn't local, and they never mention where they're from, and they don't say what they used to do, but ......," said one of the more astute robbers, hesitantly.
"But what?" Simon asked.
"I think they should have been soldiers." The robber hesitated.
"Why do you say that?"
"Because of their habits, we are very casual with our weapons, but both of them are in a very standard posture, and whether they are standing, sitting or eating, they are completely different from us people, I think it should be difficult for people who have not been in the army to develop such a habit."
"Very well, you continue." Lu Cheng nodded, this robber's observation was obviously better than the others, and the other captives were completely in a state of ignorance.
"That...... If I say it all, will you let me go? The robber looked at Lu Cheng nervously, and he felt that Lu Cheng might be the leader of the other party.
Lu Cheng didn't answer, the people caught in Sanglai must be decided by the people in Sanglai, so that he will not overstep his responsibilities.
Cody hesitated and said, "If the information you provide is really important, I can intercede on your behalf to keep you from death on the grounds of your merits, but the final verdict is still based on the laws of the kingdom." ”
"Thank you, sir." The robber hurriedly thanked him, he didn't expect to be free, and he was thankful that he would not die, "Ladies and gentlemen, the small guess is that Barry and Baker are likely to be spies from Condy......"
"What did you say?" Simon couldn't believe how a gang of robbers and bandits had been involved with Condi again.
"The little ones don't dare, the little ones don't dare......" The robber immediately coaxed, and he himself was not sure.
"Mr. Simon, don't worry, let him continue talking." Lu Cheng's heart blossomed, and it was best to say it with someone else's mouth, "You go on, what to say, even if it's your guess, it's no problem." ”
"This ......" The robber looked at Simon and then at Cody, and when he saw that they didn't speak, he acquiesced to Lu Cheng's attitude and then cautiously continued, "The little one has a very good friend, once Baker was drunk, he was responsible for helping Baker back to the camp to rest, the little one was worried that he couldn't help the sturdy Baker, so he was ready to help, but when the little one was about to get to the camp, he saw Barry also enter the camp, so he didn't dare to go in, but the little one heard Barry suddenly yelling at my friend, and then there was a sudden quarrel inside, The younger one thought it was a friend who had collided with the two bosses, so he was ready to go over to help, but ......"
"But what?" Simon saw that the robber had stopped, and hurriedly asked.
The robber calmed down his excitement and continued: "My friend suddenly screamed, and Baker's tent was also splashed with blood, and the little one was frightened, and I don't know why the two bosses suddenly killed my friend. I was so frightened that I was standing not far from the tent door, and I heard Barry say, 'You idiot, if I hadn't happened to come, we would have told this man all the details.' And the drunken Baker said, 'What are you anxious about, haven't I cut people down!' ’。 ”
The little one was so frightened that he immediately went quietly, and my friend never appeared again the next day, and when someone asked, the two bosses said that they had asked my friend to go to other places to run errands, but only I knew that he died because he knew the details of the two bosses. Then I started to notice the differences between the two of them, such as Baker once inadvertently called Barry a captain, and once I saw a stranger walk out of Barry's place, and Barry respectfully sent the man away, and ......"
Barry and Baker never expected that one of the bandits they despised would observe the two of them very closely, and the robber said a lot about Barry and Baker's anomalies, and it became more and more confirmed that they might be sent by Condy.
"What's your name?" Lu Cheng was a little interested in this robber.
"Back to my lord, because my little eyes are good, everyone calls me Hawkeye." The robber named Hawkeye said respectfully, and he vaguely felt that although Lu Cheng might be the highest-ranking among those present.
"Hawkeye, well, good name. The information you provide is very valuable. Lu Cheng said that his goal had been achieved, "If the news is true, Master Cody and I will open up the network for you." ”
"Thank you, thank you, thank you." Hawkeye kowtowed a few times.
"Do the rest of you have any important information to offer? This is your last chance to atone for your sins. Simon said to the other nine captives.
However, this group of robbers and bandits who usually only know how to eat, sleep, sleep, eat, and will run out to kill, set fire and rob at any time can only look at each other, and they don't know any valuable news at all.
A group of rice buckets, no wonder they will be sold by Condy's spies.
Seeing that he could no longer get any more valuable news, Cody waved his hand and asked the escort to take the captives away.
"What to do with this group of captives?" Simon asked, "Our convoy has suffered a lot of casualties, and it's already overstretched. ”
"Except for the one named Hawkeye, let's find a place to dispose of it." Cody understood what Simon meant, and he wasn't interested in carrying a bunch of cumbersome people with huge meals.
Sometimes it's quite bold, Lu Cheng thinks Cody is much more pleasing to the eye.
