More than 40 veterans agreed quietly and lurked everywhere under the cover of night.
The Wild Dog Slope is not a small place, and this group of bandits has always been shabby before. Their discipline is extremely loose and their vigilance is very low. Except for two people who were left on guard on the way up the mountain, no one patrols the lair at all.
The remaining bandits gathered in a wooden shed to gamble until midnight.
The bandits slept until midnight the next day, ate something and started gambling again.
The veterans lurked until noon, but none of the bandits noticed that there were dozens more people on the mountain.
More than a hundred meters away from the wooden shed where the bandits were gambling, there was a bush.
If no one had come closer and stared carefully, no one would have guessed that there were two people hiding in the middle.
"Yesterday, when I saw Miss Mu Lan leaving in a hurry, I thought they would come to attack Wild Dog Slope early in the morning, but who knew they haven't come yet."
One of the veterans yawned and complained: "If I had known this, we might as well have had a good sleep and come back today."
They traveled and lurked all night yesterday, and all the veterans didn't sleep yesterday. In addition, there were many mosquitoes in summer, so they hid in the bushes and were bitten badly by mosquitoes.
"Have you forgotten what Captain Zheng said? This is also Mr. Jin's test for us."
The companion next to him said: "It's not like you've never been on the battlefield. Sometimes during wars, you have to fight for days and nights without being able to sleep. You can't stand it after just one night?"
"During the training camp last month, I lurked in the back mountain for three days and nights without moving at all. How could I not be able to bear it?"
"Since you can bear it, then don't nag."
The companion warned: "Also, you can't talk when you are lurking. If you cause me to be exposed, see how I deal with you when I get back!"
"I'm just talking casually, why are you so anxious?"
The veteran who complained curled his lips: "You stare first, I will squint for a while, and I will switch to you in half an hour."
This time my companion did not object.
Because he didn't know when the female soldiers would take action. If the female soldiers delayed taking action for three or four days, they would all die.
This is why Zheng Fang arranged for them to lurk in groups of at least two.
You can take breaks alternately to maintain your strength.
The veterans waited until night before Qing Mulan finally arrived.
However, she did not launch a direct attack. Instead, she first sent Amei to deal with the bandits on sentry duty, and then quietly reached the bandits' lair.
Until this time, the bandits were still gathering in the thatched hut and gambling like crazy.
"It's such a ragtag group of people, sir, I'm not at ease."
Qing Mulan hid in the shadows with the female soldiers and sneered: "Everyone, take out your crossbows and let's fire a few rounds first!"
"yes!"
The female soldiers took out their crossbows and pointed them at the grass shed.
However, at this moment, the bandits who were gambling in the thatched shed suddenly picked up shields made of wood from the ground and blocked the shed tightly.
Several torches were thrown out of the hay shed, lighting the hay pile that had been prepared long ago, and illuminating the surrounding area.
"Hahaha, Xihewan really sent people to beat us!"
"Master, they are here to die!"
"Hahaha, look at the boss, all the people here are women!"
"Let me see, it's true. The one in the lead is quite handsome."
"The boss said yesterday that he was going to Yapo to buy a batch of meat horses. Today they delivered them to our door. It just saved us money."
"Oh, they still have more than a dozen sets of armor. If I take them down, I can get one as well."
"That armor is worn by women, so don't even think about it if you're a night owl."
…
The bandits' arrogant laughter came from the thatched hut.
"Fell into a trap!"
Qing Mulan secretly thought something bad, but before she could give the order to close the formation, one of the female soldiers pulled the trigger out of nervousness.
The other female soldiers were also nervous. Some took the lead, and the rest followed.
Whoosh whoosh!
All of a sudden, dozens of crossbows fired at the thatched shed.
Unfortunately, the bandits had already surrounded the area with shields, and all the arrows were blocked.
"Oh, why do the bows and arrows in their hands look like this?"
"I've never seen it before, but it was so powerful that it almost penetrated the two-inch-thick wooden board!"
"I don't know. That's a crossbow. It's a good thing in the army. Of course it's powerful."
"Kill them, and the good stuff will be ours!"
The bandits' laughter became even more wild.
"They are prepared, everyone is coming to me!"
Qing Mulan shouted coldly, and the female soldiers finally found their backbone and followed the order to gather together.
"Get on the sword!"
Qing Mulan shouted again, and all the female soldiers hung their crossbows back on their waists and drew out their long knives.
"You bitches, stop working so hard and surrender quickly to avoid suffering."
The bandit leader stood in the thatched shed and shouted.
"You're dreaming!"
Qing Mulan said with a cold face: "Stay vigilant and attack with the second formation!"
The female soldiers hurriedly formed a triangular formation, with their long knives pointing outwards, and approached the hut step by step.
“Fancy!”
The bandit leader sneered: "Brothers, do it!"
A bandit pulled out a rope from the corner. Like a tug of war, the bandits each grabbed a part of the rope, and then pulled it suddenly. A huge fishing net appeared out of thin air on the flat ground, trapping all the female soldiers in the middle.
The big net was dragged back and forth, making the female soldiers unable to stand and falling to the ground one by one.
Two others were cut by their own long knives.
The female soldier who was so majestic just now suddenly became embarrassed and had no power to resist.
Qing Mulan was still calm and tried to cut the fishing net with a long knife.
Unfortunately, just as the long knife was raised, the fishing net suddenly tightened, and she and the other female soldiers were huddled together, unable to move.
Even Zheng Fang didn't expect this change. He turned to look at the monkey: "What's going on? Didn't you say that you can touch everything clearly?"
"They must have laid this big net a long time ago!"
The monkey blushed and said: "When I came here last time, I saw it was all flat, so I didn't check it carefully."
"Old Zheng, now is not the time to talk about this, hurry up and save people."
the deputy said anxiously.
"Their lives are not in danger yet, please wait."
Zheng Fang shook his head and stared straight ahead.
In the open space, Qing Mulan, who was trapped in the net, felt bitter in her heart.
Before coming, she specially organized the team and made several plans.
She thought she was careful enough when dealing with a group of thirty bandits, but it turned out that she had underestimated the enemy.
What Jin Feng once said came to mind involuntarily.
"Never underestimate any enemy, otherwise you will pay the price in blood!"
Qing Mulan was full of regret at this time.
But there's no point regretting it anymore.
The shield on the hut was put away, and the big boss in armor walked out laughing.
Behind him were a group of bandits armed with long bows or knives.
