Chapter 229: Cut Him into Pieces
Chapter 229: Cut Him into Pieces
On the second day, before dawn, the general sent a deputy general with about a hundred people to head towards Lin Congyun and his men with great fanfare.
"Ancestor, the soldiers are here, but it looks like there are only about a hundred of them."
Upon hearing this, Lin Congyun immediately stood up and looked in the direction where the soldiers were coming with a serious expression.
"Have everyone prepare to fight. When they come close, shoot them immediately and leave no one alive."
Although the other side only has more than a hundred people, they cannot take it lightly.
"Yes."
Everyone responded in unison, tightening their bowstrings and preparing to shoot arrows.
After a while, the deputy general led his men into the ambush circle.
"Fire arrows."
At Lin Congyun's command, dense arrows were shot again, and a large number of people brought by the general fell down immediately.
"Damn it."
The deputy general roared and swung his sword to block the incoming arrows.
However, two fists are no match for four hands, and the people he brought were soon killed or injured, leaving him alone still struggling to hold on.
Seeing this, Lin Congyun immediately rushed out of the dense forest with his men and surrounded the deputy general.
"Who are you? Why are you attacking officers and soldiers?"
The deputy general glared at Lin Congyun and asked sternly.
"Humph, you dog officials, you oppress the people and do all kinds of evil. Everyone has the right to punish you."
Lin Congyun snorted coldly and said mercilessly.
Upon hearing this, the deputy general was so angry that his face turned blue. He stared at Lin Congyun and said with gritted teeth: "You are so bold that you dare to attack the officers and soldiers. Do you know who I am?"
"I don't care who you are. Today is the day you die."
As Lin Congyun spoke, he swung his sword and stabbed at the deputy general.
Upon seeing this, the deputy general immediately swung his sword and rushed forward, and the two men fought in an instant.
Lin Congyun is a martial arts expert, and his deputy general is no pushover either. For a while, the two fought to a standstill and were evenly matched.
At this moment, the sound of hurried horse hooves suddenly came from the soldiers' side, and Lin Congyun's face changed.
"Oh no, a large force of soldiers is coming, retreat quickly."
As soon as she finished speaking, she swung her sword to force the deputy general back, then turned around and fled into the depths of the jungle with her men.
The deputy general was so angry that his face turned blue when he saw this. He stared at the direction where Lin Congyun and the others fled, and said with gritted teeth: "You bandits, don't let me catch you, otherwise I will tear you into pieces."
The deputy general returned to the camp in a state of embarrassment, his face full of anger and resentment. He ran straight to the carriage, and without even a moment's greeting, he hurriedly reported: "Master, that group of thieves was extremely cunning, and their leader was an old woman with great martial arts skills. We were no match for them. Fortunately, I retreated in time and did not suffer any greater losses."
Inside the carriage, an unquestionable voice came: "Old woman? Interesting. It seems that there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers in this forest, and we should not underestimate them. Send more people to find out the identity and background of this old woman. At the same time, strengthen the defense of the camp to prevent thieves from attacking."
"Yes."
The deputy general took the order and left, but he secretly swore in his heart that he would avenge his previous humiliation and cut the old woman into pieces.
Lin Congyun brought his men back to the valley and immediately gathered everyone to discuss countermeasures.
"Although only a hundred soldiers came today, it was obviously just a test. Now that they know of our presence, they will definitely increase their vigilance. What do you think about our next move?"
Lin Congyun looked at everyone solemnly, waiting for their answers.
"Grandma, now that the soldiers are on alert, it will be difficult for us to launch a surprise attack. In my opinion, it is better for us to take the initiative and attack them by surprise while they are still unstable." Fang Xinfeng stepped forward and said.
"No." Lin Congyun immediately shook his head and denied it. "The government troops are powerful. If we take the initiative to attack, it will be like hitting a rock with an egg."
"But, grandma, if we keep holding our ground, the soldiers will sooner or later find a way to break through the valley. By then, won't we be trapped in a jar?" Fang Xinfeng said with a frown.
"Feng'er is right. We cannot just stay here forever. But we cannot attack blindly either. We must come up with a foolproof plan that can both ensure everyone's safety and deal a fatal blow to the officers and soldiers." Lin Congyun said in a deep voice.
Hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.
"Grandma, I have a plan, I wonder if it's feasible?" Fang Xinlei suddenly stood up and said.
"Oh? What's Lei'er's brilliant idea? Tell me quickly." Lin Congyun immediately looked at Fang Xinlei, with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
"We can take advantage of the valley's terrain and set up some traps and obstacles to prevent the officers and soldiers from entering. At the same time, we can send a small team to lurk near the officers and soldiers' camp, looking for opportunities to harass and sabotage. In this way, we can ensure the safety of the valley while creating some trouble for the officers and soldiers." Fang Xinyue said slowly.
"This is a brilliant plan." Upon hearing this, Lin Congyun immediately clapped his hands and cheered, "Let's do it. Everyone, take action immediately and deploy according to Lei'er's plan."
Everyone responded in unison, turned around and left, and began to get busy.
Lin Congyun stood in the valley, looked up into the distance, and thought to himself, Fang Deyong had just led people to Bianyun Pass, so how come there were soldiers coming into the deep forest?
It seems that we should find an opportunity to investigate and see who this group of soldiers are.
At the same time, intensive preparations were being made in the officers and soldiers' camp.
The general stood at the highest point of the camp, overlooking the situation of the entire camp, his face full of solemnity.
"Increase your vigilance and do not let down your guard at all." The general ordered the soldiers around him, "At the same time, send out spies to closely monitor the movements of the bandits. If there is any situation, report it immediately."
"Yes." The soldiers responded in unison and turned to leave.
As night fell, Fang Xinfeng and his men quietly approached the soldiers' camp. They hid in the dark and closely watched the situation in the camp.
At this time, the camp was brightly lit, patrolling soldiers were coming in an endless stream, and the defense was very tight.
Upon seeing this, Fang Xinfeng immediately waved his hand to signal everyone to disperse and look for opportunities to cause damage.
Taking advantage of the cover of night, they moved around the camp like ghosts, creating chaos.
Suddenly, flames shot up into the sky from somewhere in the camp, and shouts and cries were heard everywhere. The officers and soldiers were caught off guard and were in chaos.
Upon seeing this, Fang Xinfeng immediately took the opportunity to evacuate with his men and disappeared into the night.
When the generals arrived at the scene, they saw only a devastated scene.
He was so angry that his face turned blue, and he gritted his teeth and said, "These bandits are too arrogant. They dared to attack the camp at night. Pass the order down, strengthen the vigilance, and make sure to catch these bandits for me."
However, just after Fang Xinfeng led his men to retreat, Lin Congyun took advantage of the space and came to the soldiers' camp, and was hiding in the darkness of the camp.
