"Why are there no wolves?" The old man squinted his eyes and looked at Xiao Chen and others on the horse. "Not only are there wolves, but there are also wild beasts that are more ferocious and greedy than wolves!"
"You're kidding me, old man." The soldier laughed, "We came here just to borrow your iron pots, bowls, and other things. It would be better if you have grain, rice, and salt. We all pay for it. It doesn't matter if the price is higher." of."
"All the pots were smashed, and weapons were refurbished. All the grain was given to Prince Narado, and the rest was snatched away by robbers. Now there is nothing in our village, so don't worry about it, military men. Why don't you worry about it? Get on the road early in the morning and get to Yancheng before it gets dark. There may be something for you to grab over there." The old man was not kidding.
Because since the war between Siam and Burma began, there have been constant defeats and wounded soldiers. They fled back in groups and robbed wherever they went. These guys are more hateful than bandits, and the bandits have to go out at night. You dare to come here, these guys are robbing them in broad daylight!
They robbed money, grain, livestock, and even women. They robbed them for nothing. It was useless to report them to the local magistrates. They didn't care at all! In fact, it's not that I don't care, I just don't dare to care. These guys got violent and even grabbed the officials!
Their village alone had been in trouble several times. Unfortunately, the village was too close to the main road, and each wave of defeated troops had to pass through it...
Now everyone has learned well and sent people to keep an eye on the road in advance. As soon as they see soldiers coming, all the men, women and children in the village will immediately go into the mountains and hide! The old man was too old to climb the mountain, so he simply stayed and watched. After all, he only had one life. How could they take away the old man as well?
"Who are you, what are you talking nonsense to this old guy? What a shameless thing!" Wang Chao on the side could also speak Siamese, and immediately shouted to the brothers to enter the village, "Brothers, go in and see what's good. I robbed all the things, and I took a look to see if there are any good-looking girls, so we can get some for our brothers to relieve our boredom!"
"There really is nothing left..." The old man wanted to stop him, but was pushed to the side of the road by several brothers. They even drew their swords and made signs at him to show threats.
The old man watched helplessly as everyone entered the village with strange smiles. His face turned red with anger, but he was helpless... He finally found it.
He's actually a wolf, and he's pretending to be a wolf-dog to my old man!
Because they were light cavalry, they arrived very quickly. The villagers were making dinner. Many of the rice at home was just cooked. They left in a hurry after receiving the alarm. They didn't have time to bring it with them, so they just took advantage of these 'robbers' and ate it directly. Ready-made.
Moreover, this village is quite big, and every house is empty. You can rest here directly after eating, which also saves you from having to sleep in the open. Needless to say, being a robber is actually quite enjoyable...
"Why are you such a bad person?" Maxin was extremely dissatisfied with the dynasty. Just now, he looked so bad when he cursed the old man fiercely.
"It's not me who is bad, it's those Siamese soldiers who are so bad. Aren't we pretending to be them?" Wang Chao said, "They have done a lot of harm to the common people. It seems that we can definitely win this battle." Yes, Naluoduo resorted to military violence and lost all the people's support. It would be strange to be invincible."
"Then we can't cause trouble to others like this." Maxin said, "Shall we leave some money for them later?"
"No, that will make them suspicious." Chao Chao said, "If you feel you owe them something, just wait until we capture Siam, and it won't be too late for you to compensate them again."
"Alas... When we go to war, these people suffer." Maxin is a brave female general and a kind girl.
"Yes, our boss Xiao Chen always says that." Wang Chao said.
"Then why do you always fight?" Maxin asked.
"For world peace." Wang Chao said.
"Hey..." Maxin was left speechless.
"It's true. When we were in college, the first lesson Marshal Zhuge taught us was world peace." Wang Chao said.
"Have you ever read a book?" Maxin asked.
"After studying for two years, our eldest son went to the school to select people. Because I was particularly outstanding, he took a fancy to me at first sight, so he followed him and joined the army." Wang Chao said with a smile.
"Don't brag to others, you were the one who cried and shouted that you insisted on being with our boss!" A Longxiang guard officer next to him said with a smile.
"Shut up!" Wang Chao said, "I have enough conditions, otherwise, how could someone as strict as the boss choose me?"
"Why is it so demanding to join your Longxiang Guard?" Maxin asked.
"Hehe, that's too high." Wang Chao said proudly, "I'm really not bragging to you, Mahin. All of our Long Xiangwei brothers are one in a hundred... ah no, one in a thousand!"
"Tch, are they that awesome? Are they more awesome than Miss Ling'er's Wing Guard and Xiao Ye's Cavalry Guard?"
"Isn't that just..." Wang Chao caught a glimpse of the Wing Guard's youngest boss, Ling'er, passing by in the distance, and immediately changed his mind, "That's not the same thing. The Wing Guard's main job is to pass on information. They all know Qinggong and are fast on horseback. The Knight Guards mainly focus on rushing into battle, and they are all extremely powerful, but they are not as comprehensive as we are."
God knows that Dynasty was not bragging, because Maxin soon believed that what he said was true...
On this day, suddenly a scout came to report that there was a Siamese army stationed on the road ten miles away. There were about two thousand people. They should be troops that had just been recruited to fight on the front line. Their clothes and flags were all brand new.
The banner was held by King Simodo. This Simodo was really a prince. He was the biological brother of Narodo.
It is estimated that the war on the front line is tight, and he, the prince who stayed at home, has to go out to fight. These soldiers should be the imperial troops from Taipei.
After hearing the news, Li Haibo immediately took out the map to check, and then frowned.
Because there is only one road here, if you want to bypass the other party, you need to go into the mountains and take a small path. The path is rugged and difficult to navigate, and it is even more difficult for vehicles and horses to pass.
Moreover, this would add an extra ten days to the journey, and this would only happen under very smooth conditions. If there was an accident, I might not be able to get around it for a month.
There aren't any village markets in the mountains, and eating is a big problem. You can't go hunting at the same time, right? How many wild boars do five thousand people have to kill every day to eat?
Besides, there are very few wild animals in the mountains now, and they are almost wiped out by the hungry local people.
"How about we hide in the mountains first and wait until they pass before we leave?" Liu Ruyun said.
"No, we have made a lot of noise along the way. Although the locals have no doubts, if Seymourdo learns that so many Siamese troops have broken down, he will definitely send people to look for it. Then we will also If you are exposed, all your previous efforts will be in vain, and you will have traveled such a long distance in vain." Li Haibo said.
"How about we all pretend to be wounded soldiers, make more stretchers, and sneak through?" Maxin suggested.
"You can't get through it." Li Haibo shook his head, "If there are a few hundred people, it's okay, but our five thousand people are too many."
