A soldier rushed up to Wang Ben.
"General, a report came from outside the city!"
After that, the soldier also explained the sudden situation.
During this period of time, a group of bandits suddenly appeared in the mountainous area outside the city. As soon as these bandits appeared, they burned, killed, and robbed the villages near the mountain forest. They committed all kinds of crimes, and wherever they passed, it was a mess.
The moment the government received the news, they immediately sent out soldiers to suppress the bandits.
After all, they were outside Xianyang City, at the foot of the Imperial City. They had to be cautious in everything.
However, what these soldiers did not expect was that the other party's strength was so strong that all the soldiers they sent out were killed.
After that, the government sent more people.
The government had fought with the bandits three times, but without exception, they all ended in defeat.
Even the heads of the soldiers were cut off and thrown into the forest.
Although the officials were annoyed, there was nothing they could do about it. Therefore, they went to the military camp to ask for Wang Ben's help.
Of course, this matter was also reported to the First Emperor, who allowed it.
"Strong bandits?"
Zi Jin frowned slightly, thinking about what happened in the village earlier.
He was filled with disgust towards these 'rats' who only knew how to burn, kill, and plunder.
"There's actually such a thing? Wang Kun, immediately lead the troops to eliminate the bandits!”
Wang Ben immediately gave the order. Zijin had wanted to join the party, but since Wang Ben had already given the order, she didn't say anything else.
Moreover, although Wang Kun had suffered a crushing defeat at his hands just now, Zi Jin also knew that Wang Kun was indeed somewhat capable.
After Wang Kun left with his men, Wang Ben brought Zijin to the camp to familiarize himself with the layout of the camp.
He did not care too much about Wang Kun's extermination of the bandits this time. After all, he knew very well that no matter how powerful those bandits were, Wang Kun could easily deal with them.
He still had this confidence in this Wang Kun.
However, he thought that he would be able to exterminate the bandits in half a day.
However, after a full day, Wang Kun and the others still did not return.
This made Wang Ben anxious.
He immediately sent people to investigate the situation.
A moment later, a soldier ran in with an ugly expression.
"Reporting to General, things are bad. Our side suffered a crushing defeat. Captain Wang…Wang Kun and the other soldiers died in battle!”
It was a simple sentence, but it was like a thunderclap to Wang Ben.
He suddenly stood up from his chair and looked at the soldier in disbelief.
"What did you say? Wang Kun and the soldiers were all dead? How…how was this possible? A thousand soldiers died in battle?"
Wang Ben knew that the soldier wouldn't lie about such an important matter, but that was why his heart was twitching.
A thousand soldiers of Great Qin were killed by the bandits, and Wang Ben was heartbroken.
"Something is wrong!"
Zijin also stood up at this time. After hearing the soldier's report, he frowned.
"Normally speaking, be it in terms of strength or equipment, powerful bandits would not be able to fight against Great Qin's regular army, much less wipe out Great Qin's soldiers. There must be a conspiracy behind this.”
Wang Ben's face darkened when he heard Zijin's words.
"This is a trap!"
Wang Ben's face darkened.
During this period of time, bandits had appeared in various parts of Great Qin. However, he had never thought that there would be people near Xianyang City who would dare to cause trouble like this.
"Tell me the details.”
Wang Ben said slowly in a low voice.
What puzzled Wang Ben and Zijin was the fear and hesitation in the soldier's eyes after hearing Wang Ben's words.
But in the end, he still slowly narrated it.
"The heads of our brothers were all brutally cut off by those bastards and hung on the trees. As for…as for their corpses, they were casually thrown away. When I…when I went to investigate, the corpses had already been eaten by wild beasts.”
The soldier's heart was twitching just by saying those words.
Those were his brothers from the past, but they had died tragically. How could he be calm?
Zi Jin's expression was extremely gloomy, and his heart was filled with killing intent towards these bandits.
Great Qin's soldiers were not afraid of death, and they could die, but they had to die in a worthy manner. Even if they died, they had to die on the battlefield for the country. Now, they had died for no reason, and they had died under such humiliation. How could Zijin not be angry?
"Also…Also, I found a few words left behind by those bandits on a big rock nearby.”
However, at this point, the soldier hesitated, not knowing how to continue.
