Zhu Wu looked forward to the stars and the moon, and finally, the soldiers came.
It was because the system suddenly issued a mission a few days before he attacked Amur Manor.
[Mission: Fight an offensive and defensive battle with the soldiers. The host's side focuses on defense (can counterattack), and the soldiers 'side focuses on attack. Disintegrating the soldiers' attack and repelling the invading soldiers will be regarded as the host's victory. If the defense is broken by the soldiers, it will be regarded as a failure.]
[Reward for victory: Activate the base program. The host can select a city that belongs to the host as the base. The morale of the generals and soldiers under the host's command will be maintained at a high level within a thousand meters of the city that the host uses as the base. The loyalty of the people and soldiers under the host's rule will be permanently fixed at a loyal state. The yield of the land within the range of the base (including the thousand meters outside the city) will be permanently maximized and will not be affected by natural disasters.]
[Note: Once the base is designated, it cannot be changed or transferred.]
The mission reward made Zhu Wu drool. Once the location of the base city was specified, with the various buffs from the system, the base would basically be an " impregnable " city!
Now that the officers and soldiers had finally arrived, it was not in vain for him to flaunt the banner of the Black Flag Army with great fanfare.
"How far away are the soldiers?”Zhu Wu asked.
"According to the scouts, the soldiers are about 20 miles away from Langya Mountain. They will reach the foot of the mountain in two hours," the soldier quickly replied.”
It would take at least two hours to reach the foot of the mountain and then to reach the village through the mountain road…
Zhu Wu looked at the sky. These soldiers probably wouldn't enter the mountain today.
"The three of you, the soldiers are coming. You should go back first. I have to prepare for the war now, so I won't send you off.”He said to the envoys of the three families.
Peng Da took a step forward." Tiger King, don't underestimate me. I won't leave. I'll stay and fight the enemy with you. The brothers I brought are also good."”
The envoys from the other two families looked at each other. Just as the middle-aged man from the Guo family was about to speak, he suddenly felt someone tug at the hem of his shirt. Then, someone wrote two words on his back with his finger.
Stay?
The middle-aged man was surprised and subconsciously turned around. What did the young miss mean by this?
This glance was keenly captured by Zhu Wu.
Hmm? What was going on?
His gaze lingered on Ma Xiuying's face for a moment, deep in thought.
"We'll stay too. The people I brought will also be handed over to the Tiger King.”Under Ma Xiuying's gaze, the middle-aged man turned around and said.
The remaining emissaries of Sun Deya were in a difficult position. The other two families had already agreed to help the Black Flag Army fight against the soldiers. If he left with his men…would it affect the reputation of the manor lord?
He hesitated for a moment and said,"An, An will also stay, but I need to let one person go back to deliver the letter.”
"Good!" Zhu Wu laughed and didn't decline." Thank you so much."”
"I'll go first. The three of you wait for a moment, someone will arrange for you.”
After saying that, Zhu Wu cupped his fists and glanced at Ma Xiuying before leaving the hall.
When the soldiers arrived at the foot of the mountain, they started to set up camp and rest.
Nothing happened that night.
The next morning, the troops began to enter the mountain.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Aiya!
I've been shot!
Save me!
Not long after they entered the mountain, the soldiers were harassed. From time to time, arrows would be shot from the dense forest on both sides of the mountain path.
Soldiers were constantly screaming in pain from being shot. There were only a few who were shot dead, and most of them were injured. However, the screams of these injured soldiers affected their morale even more.
It was not that the soldiers did not send out any scouts, but the forest was too big and there were too few people on the other side. The scouts could not do anything to these "hide-and-seek" black mountain bandits.
The commander of the soldiers was called Song Qing. He was a hereditary thousand-man, and his ancestors were Han Chinese in the north. In terms of status, he was one rank higher than the Han Chinese in the south.
Song Qing was in his early thirties. There was a centipede-like scar on his dark and rough face. He rode a horse and walked in the group. He was wearing armor with a heart-protecting mirror, and a sword and bow hung from the front and back of his saddle.
Looking at the cold arrows that came from both sides of the mountain path from time to time and listening to the screams of his subordinates, he sneered."Hehe, these southern barbarians aren't cowards. They didn't run and even dared to attack. Alright, I was afraid that they would run away and make me come here for nothing!”
"Stop!" He raised his hand and shouted.
The army slowly stopped.
"From the back to the front, ten people in a group, take the shield.”
After the order was given, the soldiers came to the large carts behind the troops in an orderly manner and took out the shields placed on the carts.
Arrows were still being shot. Occasionally, some soldiers would fall and scream, causing a commotion. However, it did not affect the majority of the soldiers who went to the carriages to pick up their shields.
Soon, the soldiers had shields in their hands. Under Song Qing's orders, they split into two rows and used their shields to protect their left and right.
As a result, the exposed body parts of the soldiers became smaller, making it difficult for the arrows to hit them, but at the same time, their advancing speed also slowed down.
"Sir, isn't this too slow?”A centurion came over.
Song Qing chuckled." It doesn't matter if we're a little slower. Since those Black Flag Bandits didn't run away last night, it seems like they're prepared to fight us." They would all die, so what was the harm in letting them live a little longer?”
As he spoke, he pointed his horsewhip at the dense forest on the right and said,""Scouts in this direction, retreat to the left and increase the intensity of the search. I want to see if these Black Flag Bandits dare to attack.”
Arrows were still being shot from the forest on the right, and most of them hit the shields. The soldiers holding the shields felt a sense of security, and their morale was slowly recovering.
However, the forest on the left had quieted down. There were no more attacks. It was obvious that the number of soldiers and scouts had doubled to expand the search area, making the Black Flag Bandits hiding in the forest on the left wary.
At this moment, a majestic singing voice came from the forest on the right.
He held 99 steel knives in his hands and only stopped after killing all the Hu children.
I'm a man, why do I have to be a horse or a cow for the Tartars?
The strong man drank up the wine in his bowl and traveled thousands of miles without looking back.
The golden drums sounded together and the people roared. They swore not to stop until they broke the yellow dragon.
Along with the singing, a tall man in black with a black mask on his face walked out of the forest with a knife on his shoulder.
