Chapter 35: Suppression of Bandits
The team walked in a neat pace, there was no moon tonight, and in this dark night where they could not see their fingers, the soldiers did not panic, because of the figure in front of them, the bronze shining figure on the horse.
The figure at the front of the line stopped, waved, and Maudejiang, who was holding a torch on the side, held the torch aloft.
The line came to a neat halt and stood straight in the night.
It was dark all around, except for the light of the torches in front of the team.
Xiaobao stepped off the horse, stood in front of the team, and said, "Ahead, there is a small group of bandits, I personally lead the team, and the rest rest rest will rest in place, I will see you when I come back, and the sentries are on guard." ”
After the order, the team rested in place, and the sentries scattered in all directions, guarding the surroundings.
"This time, Yan Jin and I will lead the team, Modeso, Modus, you stay where you are, and be optimistic about the team. Xiaobao ordered.
The Mo family brothers saluted and replied, "Yes!"
Xiaobao led a group of soldiers to take the lead and set off towards the mountains and forests.
In the woods, Xiaobao and Yan Jin were at the front of the team, very careful, looking around, the woods were very quiet, Xiaobao's eyes suddenly lit up, and a pair of seeping eyes suddenly appeared on the treetops.
Xiaobao stretched out his fist-clenched hands, signaled the team to stop, and quietly touched forward, prostrate on the ground, and slowly walked towards the treetops in front of him. The hand suddenly touched the cold thing, Xiaobao didn't dare to move, stopped the figure moving forward, and the other hand lightly peeled off the leaves, revealing the animal trap buried in the ground, Xiaobao couldn't help but be a little afraid, fortunately he was cautious, crawling and groping forward, and his hand only touched its edge.
Mark the place, withdraw your hand, and crawl forward.
This time the movement is more slow, and if you climb a step, you have to look around to see if there are any traps.
Xiaobao wasted a lot of effort and finally reached the bottom of the tree.
A bunch of traps on the road, marked by Xiaobao one by one, were about to move to remove the dark whistle on the tree, and there was a whistle not far away.
The whistle made Xiaobao stop his movements and lie on the ground, without any breath, but fortunately he had taken off his armor and put on his black clothes when he set off, so that he could now merge with the night and not be easily noticed.
His eyes narrowed slightly in the direction from which the voice came, and he found that less than five feet away, there was also a dark whistle in the tree.
The whistle had stopped, and there was another whistle from the trees, as if in response to the whistle just now.
If you act at this moment, if Xiaobao can't get rid of the two of them at the same time in time, he will definitely be discovered, thinking about it in his heart, Xiaobao pulled out a dart and stared at the figure in the distance.
The energy rushed into the dart in his hand, and it surged into the distance. When the dart came out, Xiaobao had already jumped high and reached out to grab the dark whistle.
In the distance, his hands were crossed, lying on the treetops, the big man with his eyes slightly closed suddenly felt his strength, opened his eyes, only to see a cold light in front of him, before he had any reaction, he had pierced the skin of his forehead, smashed the skull, and nailed it into the treetops from the back of his head before stopping, the big man's eyes widened, he was dead, and his eyes were at a loss.
The man above Xiaobao's head was the first to sense the strength coming from below, and he was about to shout as quickly as possible, but there was a phantom in his eyes, and the voice had not yet shouted, stopping in his throat, his neck had been grabbed by someone who came, and a warm feeling came, making him swallow his saliva involuntarily.
Xiaobao looked coldly at the secret whistle that he grabbed by the neck, the palm of his hand was forced, the neck was twisted, and the hands that the thief wanted to stretch out were fixed in the air, slowly falling, and his eyes were full of unwillingness.
"If you want to blame it, blame you for liking to do evil and harm the people!" Xiaobao said softly, jumping into the treetops, and turning back reflexively.
For these hateful bandits, Xiaobao will not be soft at all.
"Are you okay?" Yan Jin walked up and asked Xiaobao who had just come back with an expressionless face.
Xiaobao shook his head and said, "It's okay!"
After that, he turned his head to look at the soldiers, waved his hand and said, "The outer two have been solved by me, and now they are quickly attacking, there should be still inside, watch more and pay more attention, don't be discovered, and pay attention to your feet, there are many traps!"
After Xiaobao finished speaking, the soldiers poured into the top of the mountain like puppets.
This time, the team led by Xiaobao is all stained with blood, so take them to accumulate some experience first, and then go with the team, so that you can take more care of those soldiers.
The bandits hiding in the shadows in the woods have been quietly killed, Xiaobao and others have arrived in the bandit base camp, there are only a few rooms, there is a fire in the courtyard, and there are two big men who are sitting vigil next to the fire, I don't know what they are talking about, laughter comes out from time to time, and it reaches the ears of Xiaobao and others.
Yan Jin beside Xiaobao disappeared in place, and when he looked at it again, he had appeared next to the fire, and the two thieves covered their necks, showing pain on their faces, and fell to the ground without making much noise.
Xiaobao waved his hand to signal the team to follow, and the open space was full of soldiers, Xiaobao stretched out his hand to the base of his neck and waved it lightly.
The soldiers understood, took out their broadswords, and slowly went into the house, accompanied by screams, in this silent place, especially in the ears, and after a while it stopped, and the mountains and forests returned to silence, and the soldiers stepped out of the house with broadswords in hand, and blood dripped down the tip of the knife to the ground.
The neat team stood in front of Xiao Bao, Xiao Bao nodded to them with satisfaction, and blood was dripping from everyone's knife, which made Xiao Bao very pleased.
Xiaobao clapped his palms and praised, "Very good, you didn't disappoint me, next, please lead the team, disperse the action, don't be soft!"
"Yes!" the soldiers knelt down on one knee and said respectfully.
"Lord Captain, do you want to take this thing with you?" asked Xiaobao about the two people who walked out of the room, carrying heavy boxes.
Xiaobao walked towards the two, the soldier put down the box in his hand, the box fell to the ground with a muffled sound, the dust was rolled up, it can be seen how heavy, one of the soldiers reached out to open it, a touch of silver light flashed, there were many silver taels in the box, Xiaobao flashed, and there was a plan in his mind, smiling, patting the shoulders of the two soldiers and praising him, "Good job, take it all away!"
"You said that the captains, can they return triumphantly?"
"I'm afraid I can't say for sure, you see that you haven't returned yet, and the longer it drags on, the more likely it is that it will not be good news. ”
"You don't want to confuse the people and disturb the morale of the army here!"
"Lao Tzu is just stating the facts, no one will force you to listen if you don't like to listen!"
"You're ......!"
Just as the two of them were about to get up, some of the soldiers suddenly stood up, and then, as if contagious, all the soldiers stood up, straightened their waists, and looked at the figure that turned back in front of them, giving them the figure of fighting spirit!
Xiaobao and Yan Jin were at the front, followed by two soldiers, carrying heavy boxes towards everyone, and when they arrived in front of the team, the soldiers gently put the boxes on the ground and returned to the team in the rear.
Xiaobao touched the iron box, looked around the box and looked at everyone, smiled evilly, and shouted, "Do you want to know what's in here?"
Everyone had long been attracted by the black iron box, but the captain stood in front, and the soldiers who had just been impressed did not dare to speak out loud although they were curious, and shouted in unison when they saw the captain asking. "Yes!"
Xiaobao slowly lifted the box, and the silver light flashed out in the dark night. The silver in the box was particularly conspicuous, and the soldiers were staring at each other with wide eyes and greedy expressions.
"This is what I have just seized from the bandits! Now I have decided to wait until I go and exterminate the bandits, and divide the silver that has been seized among you. Xiaobao promised.
All the soldiers shouted and were eager to try.
As the saying goes, money can make ghosts grind, and no one will refuse. Seeing that the mood of the soldiers was so high, Xiao Bao shouted loudly, "It is not early, then I will wait here for you to return triumphantly, and each of you must have blood on his sword, if there is none, not only will he not get the silver, but he will also be punished by the military master!"
"Yes, yes, yes!" said the generals in unison.
Xiaobao commanded, "Okay! Let's go!"
After the words fell, the soldiers divided into twenty squads and dispersed in all directions, heading to the planned position to exterminate the bandits.
The mountains were full of flames, and there were constant shouts, and the bandits were disrupted by the sudden soldiers, scurrying around, and just out of the cottage were cut by the soldiers who had been ambushed, but there was still luck to escape from the encirclement.
What puzzled the bandits was that now that the enemy was present, these soldiers in military uniforms did not defend themselves against the enemy on the front line, but came to exterminate them. I'm afraid the bandits can't even think of it, they are used for military training.
"Is it really okay to do this, why don't you ask the general first?" Yan Jin stood beside Xiaobao and revealed the worry in his heart.
Xiaobao looked at the hill in the distance, the fire was surging, and from time to time a figure flashed, and said calmly, "It's okay, I will explain it to the general then, and besides, this is what the bandits snatched and divided, and it should be a big problem for the soldiers who went into battle to kill the enemy." ”
Yan Jin saw that Xiaobao said this, so he stopped making a sound and stood quietly beside him.
The sky was slightly bright, and before the sun had risen, all the soldiers had returned to the place, standing neatly below, most of the soldiers had no blood on their faces, and only a few were unaffected.
Xiaobao stood at the front of the army, looked at the soldiers, and said in a deep voice, "I know that everyone has just killed someone, and the fear in my heart has not yet dissipated, but I still want to announce a sad news." ”
As soon as Xiaobao's words fell, two soldiers walked up and put a corpse in front of them, and the soldiers were stunned. Xiaobao spoke again, "I am very disappointed that many people in the whole army were injured and one person died!"
"Shouldn't you be glad that so many bandits have been killed, and only one person has died. A voice rang out from below, and everyone looked at the soldier.
"If this is in a big battle, I must be gratified, but what about you, you are going to attack and not fight head-on, and you know why he died?
No one dared to speak now, and they lowered their heads one after another.
Xiaobao looked at the soldiers in front of him, and then said loudly, "I know, there are soft-hearted people among you, if it weren't for the comrades-in-arms to save them, I'm afraid they would have already become unjust souls under the knife, each of them will be given a hundred taels of silver, go back to the camp and reflect, if you think you don't deserve it, you can refuse, and next time you think you're qualified to receive it!"
After that, Xiaobao rode a unicorn and left without looking back.
