"Chief, what should we do? There are so many soldiers at the foot of the mountain.”
At this moment, a bandit beside Hu Yi said.
What was he running for? Hu Yi turned around and gave him a beating. They hadn't even started fighting yet, and his subordinates were already running away. What was this?
"Let's go, tell our brothers to prepare our weapons. We'll go meet those soldiers.”
Lu Yu, who was observing the terrain, saw a commotion in the forest. Soon, he saw many people coming down the mountain with weapons.
Lu Yu made a prompt decision and immediately went back to arrange for people to enter the trenches.
They had been here for more than an hour. Although the trenches had not been dug, they could still hide people.
Lu Yu chose an open area as his temporary base. There was no place to hide in the surroundings. This was also to prevent bandits from ambushing him.
However, there was also a disadvantage. The bandits on the mountain would be able to see the slightest movement on their side.
It could be said that there were no more secrets on his side.
Fortunately, Lu Yu did not launch a surprise attack this time.
Seeing that they were about to leave the forest, Hu Yi waved his hand and told them to hide first. He found someone with a loud voice and asked him to convey his words to the outside.
"I am the chief of Qingkou Stronghold, Hu Yi. May I know which officer is at the foot of the mountain?”
Lu Yu was a little surprised when he heard the interaction from the other side. Didn't they say that bandits were brainless? How did they know to ask about the background?
Shan Luyu replied even though he was surprised. However, he did not ask anyone to help him. Instead, he shouted on his own. He had been cultivating for more than a month, so he should have some achievements.
"I'm from the Chongtian County Garrison Regiment. I'm here to avenge my brothers who died three months ago.”
Lu Yu was not supposed to be so arrogant, but in order to raise morale, he had to be as arrogant as possible. It could be said that Lu Yu had done everything he could to win this battle.
The bandit chief, Hu Yi, was a little puzzled.'Didn't I cripple the Chongtian County Garrison Regiment? Why is there a Chongtian County Garrison Regiment now?'
However, when he heard the other party ask him if he was ready to die, his face immediately darkened. Anyone who was cursed to death would turn hostile, let alone bandits.
Hu Yi was ready to shoot.
"Wait, bandit chief."
The person who stopped Hu Yi from shooting was the Second Bandit Chief, Tu Youwei. Because he had gone up the mountain to be a bandit with Hu Yi, after Hu Yi became the First Bandit Chief, Tu Youwei became the Second Bandit Chief.
Hu Yi was a little angry. He turned his head and saw that it was Tu Youwei. He restrained his temper a little, but he didn't say anything. He wanted to see how Tu Youwei would explain himself.
Seeing that the bandit chief was looking at him without saying anything, Tu Youwei, who was familiar with him, knew that the bandit chief was angry. If he did not give him a suitable reason, he would be in danger.
" Bandit Chief, the other side said that they were from the Chongtian Garrison Regiment, but we crippled them three months ago. Even after three months, they probably won't have the guts to come to our Qingkou Stronghold anymore, so..."
Hu Yi frowned and said hesitantly,"Are you saying that they might not be from Chongtian County?”
Tu Youwei said," It's possible. After all, they were already afraid of us back then. Moreover, even if they came again, these soldiers wouldn't be so elite. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been crippled by us back then."”
When he was on the mountain, he had carefully observed these soldiers and realized that they were different from the soldiers he had seen before. They were much more elite than them. Therefore, he felt that someone might be pretending to be a soldier from Chongtian County.
"Then what should we do? Although they might not be from Chongtian County, they definitely came here for no good reason. It's easy for them to come, but it's impossible to let them leave unscathed.”
Tu Youwei thought for a while and said," It's easy to send them away. In this day and age, which soldier isn't greedy? We'll send some money to them, and they'll naturally leave. However, it depends on how much we send."”
Hu Yi felt a little pained. A few days ago, he had sold all the goods he had stolen and bought all the guns and bullets. Now, he did not have any extra cash. It seemed that he could only use his old capital.
Hu Yi's expression was uncertain as he said to Tu Youwei,""Why don't we kill them all?”
When Tu Youwei heard this, he knew that the bandit chief was distressed by money. Although he was distressed as well, he still advised,"Bandit Chief, we have no choice but to spend this money. We have about the same number of people on both sides, but the soldiers on the other side are obviously elites. Let's not talk about whether we can win, but even if we win, we will suffer heavy losses.”
Hu Yi thought for a while and agreed with Tu Youwei's words. He then shouted towards the foot of the mountain,"Hello, brothers from Chongtian County. Thank you for coming all the way to our Qingkou Stronghold as guests. However, it is not convenient for our stronghold to receive guests now. I, Hu Mo, hereby apologize for the death of your brothers last time. For this, I, Hu Mo, will take out a thousand dollars to compensate our brothers.”
Seeing that there was no sound from the other side for a long time, Lu Yu was ready to shoot. He did not expect the bandits to be willing to pay before they even started fighting.
Are all bandits so smart?
Lu Yu was not willing to take the money and leave. His mission was to eliminate this group of bandits, not to let them exist again. Unless the bandits surrendered, this battle would not be avoided.
"The bandits on the other side, listen up. The blood feud between your Qingkou Stronghold and our Chongtian County Garrison Regiment cannot be resolved with money. If you don't want to die, surrender quickly.”
After saying that, Lu Yu stopped talking nonsense and raised his spear. The moment he fired, the rest of the Baidu soldiers immediately followed suit.
While they were talking, many soldiers had already aimed at one of the bandits. When they saw their regiment commander shoot, they followed suit and fired. The bandits were caught off guard, and in this round, more than 50 of them were killed.
In total, there were about 300 people who came down with Hu Yi. In this round, about one-sixth of them were eliminated.
However, the furious Hu Yi didn't think about this at all. Seeing that the soldiers on the other side were so immoral and fired at them, he ordered the bandits,"Open fire, everyone open fire. Whoever kills an officer will be rewarded with a piece of money.”
The bandits who came up the mountain were all people who could not survive. Seeing that they could get money by killing a person, they all seemed to be on steroids. They did not even aim and fired at the foot of the mountain.
The firepower of the bandits, who only had about 200 people, had surpassed that of Lu Yu's 500 people in a short period of time.
