The six hundred city guards all complained endlessly.
The elite of the Guiyang army can endure this hardship, but they cannot endure this hardship.
When you were in the Daozhou City Guards Camp, how many of you didn't live like an uncle?
Apart from daily drills, they are also responsible for paying troops and having fun.
Even those who originally had some basic skills had already been hollowed out in this comfortable nest. But last night, they slept on the ground like the eight hundred elites.
Many people were kept awake all night by the cold.
Then, when I woke up today, I swallowed all the dry food mixed with snot.
It's too terrible.
Those Guiyang troops are simply inhuman.
The guy who led the Guiyang army and ordered them to camp in the wild was even worse than a beast.
If we continue like this, we won't even have to wait to go up the mountain to suppress the bandits. Otherwise, they will all fall ill here in two days.
As a result, Lu Fang actually received more than 30,000 hatred points in the morning when he was still a little confused.
Looking at the Yingdao City Guards who were staggering around and listless, I couldn't help but feel a little speechless.
These guys are so effortless.
Zhuang Jianyi trotted up to Lu Fang and said, "Master Lu, this can't go on like this. My brothers can't bear it..."
He had no choice but to guess that if Lu Fang didn't talk about it, all the people under his command would have to be carried back.
Lu Fang pretended to sigh and shook his head, "Commander Zhuang, the troops under your command are too weak to resist the temptation."
"Yes, yes."
Zhuang Jianyi agreed.
But there was some shame in my heart.
What you brought are all elites, so of course they cannot be compared. If you replace them with ordinary Guiyang soldiers, see if they can withstand such a torment?
But he didn't know that those Guiyang troops had also been tortured by Lu Fang.
Lu Fang looked at Panchang Mountain and said: "In this case, you can lead your troops back."
Zhuang Jianyi himself didn't expect such a reply, he said blankly: "Go back now?"
Then he hurriedly said: "Then what should we do with the bandits on this mountain?"
Lu Fang waved his hand and said, "Leave it to us!"
He was just thinking that there was no movement at all from the bandits on Panchang Mountain last night. Was it because he had brought too many people that they did not dare to act rashly?
Are you planning to hold out?
Since the bandit on Panchang Mountain was motionless, it was difficult for him to tell whether the bandit was really interested in the art of war. Or, in other words, whether he was a thoughtful person.
"Okay, okay!"
Zhuang Jianyi pretended to be reluctant and agreed, but his heart was filled with joy.
He immediately stopped talking and turned around and trotted towards his own army.
But the voice of complaint still sounded faintly.
Some soldiers said that Lu Fang was just torturing people. He had just brought them here and let them freeze here all night, and then he let them go back again.
I have to say that people's hearts are so weird sometimes.
This sudden change was difficult for De Xie Hui to understand. However, after talking to Zhuang Jianyi, he did not come to talk to Lu Fang.
However, Zhuang Jianyi came over again and asked Lu Fang what baggage he wanted to transport from the city, and then Xie Hui led his troops and horses back to Yingdao City in a hurry.
Lu Fang only said two words, "food and grass."
During the day, Lu Fang still did not lead his army to attack Panchang Mountain.
There was still no movement from the bandits on Panchang Mountain.
But Lu Fang knew very well that such a "stalemate" could not last too long.
Panchang Mountain is steep, and it is probably impossible to hide provisions for many days in such a stronghold.
He led his troops and stationed them at the foot of Panchang Mountain, beside the official road passing under Panchang Mountain. It was impossible for the bandits on the mountain not to respond to them all the time.
Because in this way, I was effectively protecting the passing caravans. They were invulnerable. What could they eat on the mountain?
And that night, the bandits in Panchang Mountain made some noise.
"Uh-huh?"
Lu Fang was gently shaken awake from his sleep.
Opening his eyes drowsily, he could smell the smell of alcohol on Lao Xiao's body, and asked: "Master, what's wrong?"
Lao Xiao said angrily: "Is your kid really asleep? There is some movement on the mountain."
Lu Fang touched his nose and said: "Anyway, I can't kill the enemy with a knife now. It doesn't matter whether I sleep or not!"
He has already told the eight hundred elites not to sleep too much at night. He also specially arranged for two hundred people to stay vigil in shifts.
Although it was as dark as ink at the foot of the mountain, there must still be more than a hundred people staring.
He didn't want to make these eight hundred elites pay a huge price just to test the capabilities of the bandit leader Pan Changshan.
It's just that the elite people watching the night are far less cultivated than Lao Xiao, so they haven't heard any movement yet.
Lu Fang rubbed his eyes again and said, "Master, maybe you can tell how many people there are?"
Old Xiao listened attentively and said, "There should be about a hundred people."
"Um."
Lu Fang nodded and shouted to his right, "Jiang Zimo."
"Eh."
There was silence for two breaths first, and then Jiang Zimo agreed.
This guy really has a pair of piercing eyes. In such a night, he still touched Lu Fang's side smoothly and asked, "Master Lu, what's the matter?"
Lu Fang said: "Let the soldiers be on guard, bandits are coming."
"The bandits are coming!"
Jiang Zimo exclaimed in a low voice, and then quickly crawled away.
Hundreds of elites were woken up one after another by being shaken from their sleep, squatting on the ground and waiting attentively.
It wasn't until a few minutes later that a faint rustling sound came from the mountain.
This made Lu Fang marvel at Lao Xiao's perception.
Grandmaster Tongxuan really cannot be inferred based on common sense. Without reaching that realm, it is difficult to understand the mystery of that realm.
Gradually, the noise became louder and louder.
It is estimated that even if the bandits are very familiar with this Changshan mountain road, it is not easy to go down the mountain in the dark at night like this.
What surprised Lu Fang a little was that these guys didn't rush over.
Just a whooshing sound suddenly sounded.
It's an arrow!
Lu Fang couldn't help but exclaimed, "Defense!"
He really never thought that those bandits would use such a strategy.
If I had known this, I shouldn't have stayed in this place at night. I should have found another place to sleep.
A tinkling sound sounded.
Arrows quickly fell in this area, and some hit the armor of the Guiyang soldiers, making a tinkling sound.
Lao Xiao waved his sleeves a few times.
Lu Fang is safe and sound.
He frowned slightly, then smiled bitterly at Lao Xiao and said, "But you are looking down on these guys."
It was a night attack, coming down from the mountain without lighting torches. These bandits were obviously well prepared.
What's more important is that they did not choose to engage in close combat, but fired arrows in the mountains. This is even more worthy of study.
The bandits have no armor, and their weapons are not as good as those used by the army. If they fight in close quarters, they will definitely suffer losses.
The person who came up with such a countermeasure obviously thought carefully.
