Chapter 123

Most of them really thought they were here to suppress bandits.

Even the fact that Liu He had already entered the Yellow Springs was completely unknown to them.

Waving their swords and blades, shouting, they held torches and charged toward the main camp.

But just as they entered the camp gate, ready to attack the main camp, the government soldiers were stunned.

The county government soldiers who rushed into the camp soon discovered the open gate and the large number of fierce bandits pouring out from inside.

"Not good, we've been tricked; there are hundreds of them!"

"How can this be? Didn't they say there were only a few dozen!"

Liu He's two deputies turned their heads to look behind them, wanting to find Liu He's figure in the crowd.

Little did they know that Liu He was already dead.

Government soldiers receive a salary; even if they do nothing, they get paid every month.

Let them really fight for their lives against bandits?

Are you kidding?

If it were to grab some merit and get some benefits, everyone would fight to go.

The Longshan bandits have been entrenched in Jinyang for many years, robbing passing merchants.

Over the years, they must have accumulated quite a bit of wealth.

The government soldiers thought that if they took the camp, they could rob it.

But no one thought about really fighting for their lives.

Especially when they saw that there were hundreds of bandits, they were all scared weak-kneed.

"Not good, we've been tricked, run!"

"Run, run!"

"We've fallen into a trap."

A group of government soldiers turned and started to flee before they even engaged in battle.

At this moment, Li Shanfeng walked out of the camp holding a straight sword, a sinister smile on his face.

"Run?"

"Since you've come, where can you run to?"

Lights suddenly lit up around the camp.

Ropes that had been buried in the ground were suddenly pulled tight from both sides.

The fleeing government soldiers couldn't care about their feet.

At this moment, they were all running with all their might.

One careless step and they were tripped.

Then people pressed on people, people squeezed people.

The first wave tripped and wanted to get up, but before they could, the people behind them pressed on.

Roaring, shouting, and screaming instantly spread throughout the valley.

"Give it to me, kill them all, leave none!" Li Shanfeng shouted loudly.

Far from the main camp.

Duan Yu, dressed in black robes, along with Li Jue and Guo Si in armor, and dozens of Liangzhou soldiers were at a high point.

From this position, they could overlook everything happening in the Longshan camp not far away.

Seeing that the fighting had started, Li Jue and Guo Si stood up lazily from the ground.

"Should we go over now?"

"Or wait a while?"

Li Jue and Guo Si both looked at Duan Yu.

Although the distance was not far, it wasn't very close either.

Duan Yu, standing on high ground, could also see clearly with the help of the fire and torches lit in the bandit camp.

Looking at the scene below, Duan Yu's two eyebrows twisted together.

"Don't be in a hurry; let's watch and see."

The reason he said this was because Duan Yu saw clearly that the people who rushed into the camp and were being chased were not Duan Yu's party.

But the government soldiers from Jinyang City.

Since the people Duan Yu brought hadn't appeared, it meant it wasn't time to act yet.

They were ordered to protect Duan Yu, not to suppress the Longshan bandits.

Li Jue and Guo Si looked at each other and nodded.

Their gazes turned to the battlefield below.

At this moment, the battlefield was completely one-sided.

Dozens of government soldiers were chased by bandits and tripped by ropes, already in chaos.

And the Longshan bandits didn't notice anything unusual, just thinking that the people in the camp were their target for tonight.

So they waved various weapons in their hands and attacked the government soldiers.

Shouts of killing continued.

It was also during this time.

Duan Yu quietly returned to where Tie Shitou, Wang Hunu, and the others were.

Seeing Duan Yu return, and watching the fighting in the camp in the distance, Tie Shitou and Wang Hunu were already eager.

"Big Brother Duan, they are already fighting inside; should we charge now?"

"That's right, Big Brother Duan, Liu's men have already been defeated."

Tie Shitou and Wang Hunu, who didn't know the truth, looked at the situation in the camp and were anxious.

"Big Brother Duan, didn't they say there were only a few dozen Longshan bandits? How come there are so many?" Tie Shitou was puzzled.

Duan Yu held the precious carved bow.

He didn't explain to Tie Shitou and Wang Hunu.

The fewer people who know about these things, the better.

"Bring me the arrow quiver I prepared in advance," Duan Yu said to Tie Shitou and Wang Hunu.

The two nodded, then went to the end and carried two large arrow quivers on their backs.

The arrow quivers were densely packed with arrows.

A rough estimate was at least several hundred.

Duan Yu looked at a giant rock a hundred paces away from the camp.

The rock rose high, and standing on it was just the right vantage point.

One could see the full view of the camp.

Duan Yu walked to the giant rock, jumped onto it, and then let Tie Shitou and Wang Hunu send the arrow quivers up.

"Shitou, Hunu, you two lead ten men each."

"When I say charge, then you charge; do you understand?"

Duan Yu bent down and pulled five arrows from the arrow quiver.

Tie Shitou and Wang Hunu below the rock nodded hurriedly, holding shields in one hand and swords in the other.

"Understood, Big Brother Duan."

Duan Yu on the rock nodded, then narrowed his eyes and looked into the camp, then bent his bow, nocked an arrow, and pulled the string full.

The precious carved bow, plated with a layer of gold lacquer, reflected a pale golden light under the cold moonlight.

The next second, the bowstring snapped.

The arrow in Duan Yu's hand also shot out. ===== CHAPTER 125 =====
