On the official road ten miles away from White Bear Ridge.
A group of powerful bandits were rushing over.
These bandits were different from ordinary bandits.
All of them were dressed neatly and held weapons in their hands. Some of them were even wearing leather armor like the official soldiers and riding on horses.
They even raised their own flags like the government troops.
There was a big "Huo" embroidered on it.
There was no doubt that the leader of these bandits was a person with the surname Huo.
This man was called Huo Cong, the leader of the bandits in White Bear Ridge. He was a burly man.
Two years ago, it was he who brought his men here. He heard the legend of White Bear Ridge and felt that it was a treasure land with good Feng Shui, so he occupied it.
Compared to the other bandits, Huo Cong was riding on a tall horse, wearing armor and a steel helmet.
A flag bearer was sitting on the warhorse beside him, carrying the flag for him.
The flag showed Huo Cong's route and location.
This time, the county magistrate of Zhuo County had sent him a letter saying that the new county magistrate had raised 200,000 dan of grain and was preparing to send it over. He could not sit still anymore.
200,000 stones!
After conversion, that was a total of a million catties of grain!
If they could snatch it, they could split the 100,000 stones with the county magistrate 50 - 50. That would be enough for them to eat for a year or two.
In this chaotic time, food was the most important thing.
With food, he had everything.
Huo Cong was determined to snatch the 200,000 dans of grain.
After the county magistrate told him the specific route and time, he began to plan how to rob them.
The people he had sent to scout had already reported that they had seen the grain transport team.
He immediately led most of the people in the village down the mountain and came to the vicinity to prepare for an ambush.
However, what he did not know was that his thoughts overlapped with someone else's plan and became a part of their plan.
Now, he was still thinking about how to live a carefree life after snatching the food.
However, he did not know that in the forest beside his path,
Pairs of wolf-like eyes were staring at him, as if they had already seen him as prey waiting to be slaughtered.
"Haha, after we get enough food, I will attack Zhuo County! When the time comes, I'll let the imperial court confer me the title of county magistrate for fun.”
Huo Cong laughed.
"Chief is right. After we conquer Zhuo County, we will become officials.”
The second-in-charge at the side echoed.
"Hehe, when the time comes, I'll have a few concubines. I'm already tired of playing in the stockade.”
The third head behind him laughed lewdly.
"You guys, haha, alright! When the time comes, we'll do as you say!"
Huo Cong was happy and did not mind joking with his subordinates.
However, at this moment, a yellow horse-tripping rope rose up.
Bang!
"Phew!"
The horse team at the front suddenly fell, instantly causing a chain reaction. Even the team behind could not stop and instantly fell.
"Kill them!"
All of a sudden, a series of shouts rang out.
A large number of soldiers suddenly charged out of the forest on both sides. They were dressed in light armor and held steel knives as they charged at the bandits.
The bandits did not expect that someone would ambush them.
They were not prepared at all and were instantly killed.
Pieces of Bandits fell to the ground.
"What happened? Why are there soldiers here?"
Huo Cong, who was in the middle of the army, was stunned when he saw this.
When he reacted, he shouted loudly, but no one responded to him.
"Chief, we've been tricked. Retreat quickly!”
The second and third heads hurriedly said.
"Wait! Look, they don't have many people, only one or two hundred people, much less than us!”
Huo Cong was a little flustered, but he did not panic.
Sitting on his tall warhorse, he could clearly see the number of people ambushing them. There were less than two hundred people.
He felt relieved and quickly shouted,"All of you, calm down! There are only 200 people on the other side, and we have 1,000 people. Are we afraid of them?”
"Kill them!"
His voice was very penetrating, and almost all the surrounding Thieves heard it.
They focused their eyes and found that there were indeed not many enemies. Their hearts calmed down and they began to shout and kill again.
Seeing this, the government troops did not bother with them for too long and began to retreat.
Seeing this, the bandits felt even more at ease. Their morale gradually rose and they began to charge towards the retreating government troops.
"Kill them!"
At this moment, a beast-like roar sounded.
More than 100 people charged out from the nearby forest. The leader was a dark-skinned man riding a black warhorse with white snow hooves.
He held his two halberds in his hands and charged into the group of bandits.
He kept swinging his halberds, and every time he slashed down, he would take away a head. Like a god of death, the bandits around him were quickly killed.
"Charge! Charge!"
Dian Wei roared and pointed his halberd at the enemy. The soldiers regained their morale and charged forward again.
The two sides began an intense battle.
Dian Wei was in the middle of the enemy army, but he was like a peerless god of war. The Snow Treading Dragon Stallion beneath him cried out as it knocked down one enemy after another.
Gradually, the bandits realized how terrifying this black-faced man was. Fear drove them to retreat.
Their morale dropped again.
"None of you are allowed to retreat!" Huo Cong said when he saw this. Kill him! Whoever can kill this black-faced man will be rewarded with a thousand pieces of gold and become the fourth head of the village!”
After hearing this, the Bandits were boiling with excitement!
Like bulls in heat, they charged at Dian Wei with bloodshot eyes.
At this moment, on the hillside outside the forest in the distance.
Su Yan slowly aimed his bow at Huo Cong's head.
