Scarface frowned, looking a bit impatient, because the longer they delayed going down the mountain to rob, the worse it would be for them.
After all, a dozen miles away, there was still a Tuncun of soldiers, although they were just a disorganized bunch who constantly plagued the countryside and extorted money, much like themselves.
However, their identity was still that of soldiers, and against these bandits, they had a natural advantage in terms of morale; it was best to avoid encountering them if possible.
With a fierce gaze, he coldly shouted!
"Old man, I'm out of patience. I'm asking you, are you going to hand it over or not?"
Hearing this, the old village chief knew that there was no more time to delay; the Second Leader was clearly about to make a move.
However, he was still very clever, his eyes darting around, and he said tremblingly!
"Second Leader, we'll hand it over. I'll instruct someone to prepare it right away."
When Scarface heard this, his angry expression subsided, and he coldly shouted again!
"I'll give you half an incense stick of time. If you don't bring the things out, I'll charge in directly and kill every single one of you!"
After saying this, Scarface stared intently ahead. If this old man continued to stall for time.
Even if some brothers died, they would still have to take this village.
It was better not to act, at least they could preserve their strength and acquire money and grain.
After all, in the stronghold, he was only the Second Leader; there was a First Leader above him and a Third Head below him. If all his trusted subordinates were wiped out, his position in the stronghold would plummet.
On a remote road, Wu Xing was covered in sweat, whipping his donkey and galloping quickly.
He clearly looked like a donkey cart war god.
Even though the road was very bumpy and threatened to throw him off, he didn't dare to stop whipping.
This concerned the life and death of their village; he dared not be negligent.
Soon, he saw the military camp ahead, with a few soldiers patrolling the area.
Wu Xing yelled at the top of his lungs!
"General, something terrible has happened! Over a hundred mountain bandits are plundering Wu Family Village! Quickly send troops to rescue us!"
His deafening voice echoed.
The few soldiers guarding the entrance were shocked to hear this, not expecting the mountain bandits to be plundering Wu Family Village.
They dared not delay and immediately went to the military camp to report.
Wu Xing arrived at the camp entrance, slamming on the brakes and falling off the donkey's back. Ignoring the pain in his body, he said tremblingly!
"Gentlemen... gentlemen soldiers, quickly go report to Lord Liu! The mountain bandits have already reached Wu Family Village, you must go rescue them!"
The leading corporal heard this and quickly soothed him!
"Don't panic. I've already sent someone to report to the Tuncun. Troops will be sent to suppress them soon."
Inside the main tent of the army!
Liu Jin was not surprised to hear this news; Liye Township had many bandits, and such news was heard every few days.
Zhang Fei, sitting nearby, had an excited smile on his face and said eagerly!
"Big Brother, let's dispatch troops quickly!"
"I'm going to stab all these mountain bandits to death!"
Guan Yu, stroking his long beard nearby, said coldly!
"Big Brother, since these beasts dare to plunder a village, we absolutely cannot let them leave. They are destined to die under Guan's great saber!"
Liu Jin looked at the excited duo and nodded slightly.
He agreed with their idea; since these mountain bandits had come, they naturally couldn't be allowed to leave. They must all be slain.
He immediately stood up and loudly commanded!
"Yun Chang, Yide, listen to my order!"
"Assemble all the troops in the military camp, deploy the entire army, rescue Wu Family Village, and eliminate the invading mountain bandits!"
"Zhao Ergou, lead the cook soldiers and messenger soldiers to guard the military camp!"
Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, and Zhao Ergou immediately stood up, clasped their hands, and respectfully said!
"Yes, sir!"
Liu Jin immediately took Zhang Fei and Guan Yu out of the military camp, gathered over a hundred soldiers from the army, and rode the few horses they had.
Wu Xing, who had come to report, followed along, riding his donkey to lead the way.
In this way, over a hundred soldiers, orderly and disciplined, followed the winding mountain road towards Wu Family Village.
Outside the entrance of Wu Family Village.
Scarface led over a hundred mountain bandits, waiting anxiously. Watching the time pass by minute by minute.
Soon another incense stick of time passed, and seeing that Wu Family Village still hadn't brought out the goods, he frowned tightly, his face showing some anger.
He already knew in his heart that this old man was definitely fooling him, trying to stall for time.
Since that was the case, he had no intention of holding back.
Looking at the more than a hundred mountain bandits behind him, he shouted coldly!
"Brothers, charge into Wu Family Village and kill everyone inside! Just leave the women and bring them back to the stronghold for your enjoyment!"
"As for the plundered money and grain, I'll reward it all to you!"
The over a hundred mountain bandits behind him, hearing this, were invigorated as if by a shot of adrenaline. Their eyes gleamed with excitement, and they all shouted loudly!
"Kill! Kill!"
In a blink of an eye, these mountain bandits, wielding sharp blades, charged towards the young people of the Wu Family, intending to deal with them first before plundering the entire village.
The old village chief in the crowd sighed at this sight. Being able to stall for a little more time was already the limit.
Whether the soldiers would arrive or not could only be left to fate.
He slammed his bamboo stick onto the ground, and his aged voice rang out!
"Sons of the Wu Family, do not be afraid! Pick up your weapons and fight these mountain bandits!"
"If you retreat, your wives, children, and elderly will surely be killed by these mountain bandits. To protect our homes, fight them to the death!"
The over a hundred young men of the Wu Family beside him also had fierce eyes, radiating passion, and all shouted loudly!
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
"Fight these beasts to the death!"
The two sides quickly clashed, and the sound of weapons colliding rang out continuously.
Screams were mixed in, bodies constantly fell, and blood splattered.
These fierce-eyed mountain bandits brandished their blades, savagely cutting down people in the crowd, stabbing any approaching young men to death.
The two sides had only fought for a moment, and the young men of Wu Family Village were already bleeding profusely, as they were untrained and merely ordinary commoners.
Moreover, their weapons were varied; some had wooden sticks, some had hoes, and only a few had blades.
Compared to the mountain bandits' weapons, there was still a significant difference. Several young men were needed to surround and kill one bandit.
But there was no fear in their eyes; instead, they were filled with passion. Even if they were cut down, they would still bite off a piece of these mountain bandits.
They were all filled with the belief of not fearing death, and they fought fiercely with this group of people.
The screams of the mountain bandits also rang out continuously. Facing these fearless young people, even though they had the upper hand, they were somewhat afraid.
Scarface, wielding a great saber, continuously swung it through the crowd, cutting down any approaching young men to death, his face splattered with blood.
He reached out, wiped the crimson blood, and spat, a thick glob of phlegm landing on the corpse.
He cursed under his breath!
"Brothers, keep charging!"
"Whoever dares to run, I'll kill him!"
The mountain bandits behind him, hearing this, completely suppressed any fear they might have had, and fought even more fiercely, cutting down the charging young men.
Bodies at the entrance of Wu Family Village constantly fell, and blood flowed freely.
