Although Iron Beard was surprised by the eliteness of this group of soldiers, he had no intention of letting go of this duck.
As long as Yunlan Mountain is sealed off, the soldiers trapped in the mountain can be killed bit by bit.
Whether it's the fairy-like beauty or the thirty sets of armor, they are enough to make up for Iron Beard's loss.
A group of bandits forcibly cheered up and began to build simple fortifications at the foot of the mountain to prevent the soldiers from the mountain from rushing down directly. However, from the beginning to the end, the so-called Black Wind Camp bandits had no idea that the soldiers they intended to besiege were Tianji. Battalion Guards.
Even though they were familiar with the name "Tianji Camp Guards", they had never seen it with their own eyes.
Every move of the bandits has already been seen by the Tianji camp guards lurking in the forest.
When Lieutenant Wu saw this, he couldn't help but snorted, and he didn't pay attention to these bandits at all.
"It is simply wishful thinking to try to rob the young lady with just this group of people."
"Just wait until it gets dark and just go down the mountain and rush to kill."
That night, Lieutenant Wu followed the original plan and led twenty Tianji Camp guards to quietly infiltrate down the mountain and directly attack the bandits guarding the southeast corner.
Although the bandits had long expected that the Tianji Camp guards might come down from the mountain to attack them, they were still caught off guard.
Just because the fighting power of the guards of the Tianji Camp is so strong, facing an enemy twice their own size, instead of showing any fear, they are like tigers rushing into a herd of sheep. They killed more than a dozen people in just one encounter, and the bandits they killed were completely defeated. , crying for father and mother and running around.
Iron Beard was an old man, and when he learned that the southeast corner had been attacked, he quickly sent bandits to support him.
Unfortunately, when the reinforcements arrived, instead of repelling the Tianji Camp guards, they were beaten and killed by the Tianji Camp guards. They staggered around and lost their armor.
It wasn't until all the bandits began to move toward the southeast corner that Wu Wei led the Tianji Camp guards back into the mountains calmly.
After this surprise attack, more than forty bandits were killed, which can be said to be a huge gain.
Shen Qingci felt even calmer after learning about the battle situation. Although there were only thirty Tianji Camp guards around her, they were all the best among the best sent by Qin Feng to protect her.
Not to mention a ragtag group of people, even if the regular army comes to encircle and suppress them, these thirty Tianji Battalion guards can rely on Yunlan Mountain to resist the guerrillas.
And if the Tianji camp guards were willing, they could forcefully take Shen Qingci with them, fight a bloody path, and rush out of Yunlan Mountain.
The reason why Shen Qingci did not do this was because she did not want to cause any unnecessary casualties. She hoped to bring all thirty Tianji Camp guards back to Beixi County.
It is precisely because of knowing this that the Tianji Camp guards became even more motivated when protecting Shen Qingci.
On the other hand, Iron Beard's side suffered continuous setbacks and suffered heavy losses. All the bandits under his command had low morale and no longer wanted to spend any more time here.
Otherwise, when the time comes, the little girls are not captured, but are all killed by the elite soldiers on the mountain. Wouldn't that be too frustrating?
"Boss, why don't we retreat? This group of soldiers is obviously not easy to mess with."
"We fought against each other twice in a row. Our brothers suffered heavy losses, but so far, we have not seen the bodies of any soldiers. It is obvious that the other side has suffered almost no losses."
"The gap is too big and this battle cannot be fought."
Hearing these words that shook the morale of the army, Iron Beard suddenly became furious, with murderous intent filling his brows.
"Shut the hell up!"
"The more losses there are, the less we can retreat. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a loss to my grandma's family?"
"I will kill those soldiers on the mountain no matter what."
"Since it's hard to do it with our own strength, let's cooperate with others. We won't get the most out of it, but separate ourselves from others."
Under Iron Beard's order, more than a dozen bandits hurriedly ran out to ask for help. The so-called reinforcements were naturally other bandits and bandits operating in the surrounding area.
Due to the wealth of the northern border and the vast terrain, many bandits and bandits came here to make trouble. As long as they could do one job, they were worth several jobs in other state capitals.
Although the risks are high, the rewards are also high. As the saying goes, there must be brave men under heavy rewards. There is an endless stream of bandits coming to the north.
In less than an hour, a bandit successfully contacted a "reinforcement force."
Although the opponent is small in size, with only a few dozen people, it is still enough to enhance the strength of the Black Wind Battalion.
At first, the bandits were hesitant when they learned that they were besieging the elite soldiers. However, in order to get them to join the bandit, the bandits under Iron Beard directly lied that the soldiers on the mountain were not only escorting the beautiful lady, but also had a large amount of gold and silver as a dowry. treasure.
As long as they do this, it will be enough for them to live for several lifetimes.
Under the temptation of a huge reward, this group of bandits finally decided to join the siege.
With the arrival of reinforcements, the bandits in the Black Wind Battalion were immediately boosted in morale. They roared and screamed all night long to provoke the guards of the Tianji Battalion.
Even Wu Wei didn't expect that these bandits could find helpers, and his mood suddenly changed.
He immediately reported the situation to Shen Qingci.
"Miss, there are many thieves and bandits here. Although this group of bandits is a mob, they can receive a steady stream of reinforcements, which is extremely detrimental to us."
"While the opponent's size is not yet large, we should attack immediately and leave here."
Shen Qingci was also a little surprised. She didn't expect that these bandits were like dog-skin plaster. She immediately asked: "How many people are there at the foot of the mountain?"
Wu Wei shook his head: "I don't know exactly how many there are, but visual inspection shows that all the bandits that were lost before have been replaced."
Hearing this, Shen Qingci's eyes couldn't help but become solemn.
"In other words, there are hundreds of people at the foot of the mountain?"
"If we break in like this, some guards will definitely die in battle. I don't want anyone to die here."
Hearing this, Lieutenant Wu and all the guards present shed tears of gratitude, feeling that even dying in battle was worth it for Shen Qingci.
The more this happens, the more they want to persuade Shen Qingci to leave.
"Miss, if you don't leave now, it's too late."
"If something happens to you, how can your subordinates have the dignity to meet King Qin?"
"Yes, Miss, now is not the time to be indecisive. If we delay any longer, there will be more and more bandits at the foot of the mountain, and it will be difficult to leave by then."
"My subordinates all know how good the eldest lady is to my subordinates, but how important the eldest lady is to King Qin, my subordinates also know."
"Even for the sake of King Qin, the eldest lady must reach Beixi County safely."
In the face of everyone's dissuasion, Shen Qingci remained firm and said seriously: "What will happen to the local people if I leave?"
"The northern territory is vast and it is difficult to suppress bandits. Since I have encountered them, I will take this opportunity to uproot them."
