Chapter Thirty-Six: Little Gain
Remuda is a small captain in the Mongolian army, and he is also a patrol, that is to say, he generally does not go to the battlefield, his daily task is to lead his dozen soldiers to the woods for a circle, the task is simple and easy, and there is no danger to life, he enjoys such days very much.
On this day, he wanted to ride into the woods as usual, but he was always restless today, and always felt that something bad was going to happen, but this place was so close to the camp, and the group of southern barbarians dared to come over.
"Hurry up for me, I have to go back to dinner!" Remuda yelled at his men behind him, patrolling too early and always too late to eat, which may be the only drawback of this mission.
Turning his head, Lei Muda suddenly felt that his eyes lit up, as if someone had taken more than a dozen bronze mirrors to reflect the sunlight to his eyes, and Lei Muda unconsciously closed his eyes. Then he felt a chill in his neck, as if something was leaking out. Ignoring the discomfort in his eyes, Lei Muda reached out and touched his neck, only to see that his hands were full of blood.
Remuda desperately clutched his neck, trying to plug the hole in his neck, but blood still flowed from between his fingers, and he wanted to speak, but found that he couldn't make a sound at all. Frightened eyes searched around, only to see a young man standing in front of him, the young man had a cold face, looking at him with a cold and merciless gaze, holding a long sword dripping with blood in his hand, the sword was like a deep pool, cold as the face of this young man, and the blood was his.
Lei Muda stretched out his hand and pointed at the young man in front of him, but he felt that his eyes were getting darker and darker, his body was getting lighter and lighter, and the world seemed to be quiet all of a sudden.
"None of them will be left!" Glancing at the squad leader who had dismounted, Xi Bai spoke indifferently.
The Mongol soldiers were stunned by what was happening before them, and the captain, who yelled every day, died in front of them, and they didn't see what the man was doing. But the figures that suddenly appeared around them didn't allow them to think about it anymore, so they had to draw their weapons and desperately resist.
It's just that they immediately discovered their own powerlessness, these soldiers who should be about the same as them are far above them, both in speed and strength are stronger than them, and the sword skills of two of these people are even more exquisite, at least they think so, these can't be a small soldier at all.
So soon they gave up their resistance and began to flee in all directions, but how could they escape. It was a one-sided massacre.
"Haha! Chief, this group of Mongol soldiers is really weak, I think next time we can find a bigger team. The battle ended quickly, Tang San said as he packed up the loot.
"Don't rejoice too soon, we just took advantage of the sneak attack." Xi Bai frowned and groped for the team leader, but he didn't touch anything, and after a long time, he got up helplessly, it seems that the team leader didn't reveal the cheats.
"Boss, how's it going, what's the good thing this time?" The monkey asked, rubbing his hands together.
"How can there be such good luck, every time there is a harvest, this time there is nothing." Xi Bai smiled bitterly.
"Wouldn't it? This guy is also a horseback rider, why is there nothing? I'm counting on him to bring us a book of martial arts cheats! White makes me happy. The monkey glared at the corpse on the ground, eager to kick it twice. Others were a little disappointed when they heard that there were no cheats.
"Hehe, in fact, it's not without gain, at least this guy brought us a horse." Kong Liang said with a smile.
"Yes, not this time, then next time! What is there to be disappointed about. This horse, just give it to Meng Liang. Xi Bai first waved his hand, then looked at Meng Liang and said.
"Haha, thank you, boss!" Meng Liang was stunned for a moment before he reacted, laughed, and hurriedly led the horse over. Others were a little upset.
"Okay, there will be a chance in the future, I promise that in the future, everyone will definitely have a horse, and everyone can learn the secrets of martial arts. Now, cheer me up, pack my things and get ready to leave! Xi Bai frowned.
"Retreat? Boss, we didn't have any damage this time, so why don't we continue to look for a target? Hearing Xi Bai say this, everyone's faces looked better, but Xi Bai's words of retreat made them not understand, Meng Liang's movements in his hand stopped, and asked.
"We still don't know how the Mongols patrolled, and we don't know if they only have one squad on each patrol. And don't forget, we wiped out that squad last time, but soon a large number of Mongols appeared. If we do, we're in trouble. So it's safer to retreat first. Xi Bai said in a deep voice. He is only ten people, and none of them can afford to be injured, so he would rather be conservative than take risks for the sake of rank and **.
Listening to Xi Bai's words, everyone nodded, and after cleaning up the battlefield, they retreated towards the outside of the woods.
As Xi Bai said, not long after they returned to the slope, they saw countless Mongolian soldiers appear in the woods, and after some searching, they did not find Xi Bai and a few people, so they left again.
"Boss, you're right, if we had met those guys just now, I'm afraid we wouldn't have been able to go back." Meng said with palpitations.
"Hey, hey! Although I'm not afraid of them, if there are so many people, I think it's better to retreat first. Tang San scratched his head and said.
"It seems that they are only searching in the woods and will not come here, so it will be easy to do, as long as we move quickly every time and retreat as soon as the battle is over, there should be no danger." Kong Liang pondered for a moment and said.
Xi Bai nodded, he thought so too, turned his head and glanced at Kong Liang with interest, he felt that this Kong Liang was a little different from others, as if the intelligence level was higher, but he didn't know what level of intelligence these NPCs were, just relying on his own feelings.
"Boss, they're back, are we going to continue to act?" Seeing that there were no Mongolian soldiers in the woods, the monkey said to Xi Bai with bright eyes, it seems that he is indeed very yearning for martial arts cheats.
"Hmmm! Let's go, continue to find the right target to do. Xi Bai nodded and said.
When I came to the woods again, everything was familiar with the road, and there was no need for Xi Bai to say more, everyone knew what to do, and consciously began to need a goal.
It's just that this time their luck is a little worse, they didn't encounter the Mongolian team until noon, or they encountered a team of hundreds of people, Xi Bai naturally didn't dare to make a move, only to avoid it carefully.
