Ch 33: Bandits Raid The Village
(Honorable fathers! Good Cat kowtows to you here! )
(This book, setting aside the System, is not mindless; it has logic, no invincible high technology, and still requires schemes and ability.)
(Early development accumulates strength, mid-term self-reliance and division of one side, late-stage becoming emperor and unifying the Asian continent, will be written seriously! I hope all honorable fathers understand!)
“Sun Jian, let’s proceed as planned?”
“Mm!”
Sun Jian nodded, looked up at the moon overhead: “It’s estimated that the bandits will enter the village in half an incense stick of time.”
“Old Cao, you go to the village entrance, tell everyone to stay calm, and definitely let them in! Then block the road.”
“Old Jiang, you do the same, go to the village exit, tell everyone the timing of the giant net’s use, and if there are any escaped fish, use the compound bow to shoot and kill them! Not a single one can be allowed to escape.”
“Village Head, Ergouzi, you lead people to beat gongs separately, go door to door and organize everyone to hide in the cellar, don’t let the traps injure your own people.”
After receiving Sun Jian’s orders, everyone began to act separately, not daring to be negligent.
A hunting operation began.
The bandits rode their horses into the village, seeing that there was no alert in the village, they were overjoyed.
“Brothers! Grab the grain and the women!”
“Anyone who dares to resist, on-the-spot execution!”
“Charge!”
The sound of horses’ hooves, the bandits swarmed in, holding torches, carrying curved swords, breaking into houses one by one.
Unfortunately, they did not see anyone in every house they entered, not even poultry.
“Big Boss, something’s wrong! This village is strange.”
As a small fry was dismounting to report the situation to the bandit leader, a “whoosh” sound broke the air, an arrow shot like a gust of wind and lightning, instantly piercing his chest.
Blood splattered, the small fry’s chest was pierced with a bloody hole, before he could say anything more, blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth, and he fell to the ground dead.
“Damn it! Damn commoners! They dare to ambush!”
“Brothers! Find those people for me, chop off their heads!”
The Big Boss’s pupils widened, his anger rising, commanding the bandits to rush into the courtyard to find the archer.
Little did they know, these arrows came from infrared sensing devices, there were no ambushing villagers at all, their search would only result in greater casualties.
“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”
Arrows flew everywhere, and bandits kept dying from arrows.
The bandits were in chaos, disobeying orders and running around.
“Big Brother! This village is strange, there are ghosts!”
“Screw you! We are bandits! We are not afraid of ghosts!”
“Brothers! I don’t believe there’s no one in this village, the villagers must be hiding, dismount! Search every house for me!”
Originally, being on horseback might have allowed them to escape from the exit, but once they dismounted, they completely became pieces of meat on a chopping board, at the mercy of others.
For a time, more arrows shot out from the corners, various giant rolling stone and log traps smashed down, and countless bandits were killed and injured.
The villagers united as one, each step completed almost perfectly.
Seeing that their own forces were dwindling, the bandits were already in disarray, some fleeing, some hiding.
But the road into the village was blocked, and those bandits who could not find their way out could only die.
The bandit leader, under the protection of several close advisors, barely broke through the exit, but was obstructed by a large number of barricades, caltrops, and iron thorns.
At this moment, there was nowhere to go, nowhere to escape, they were at their wit’s end.
More than five hundred bandits, in less than two hours, only a few dozen remained.
Seeing that the bandits had nowhere to go, Old Jiang, leading the villagers ambushing at the village exit, decisively threw down the giant net, capturing the last wave of bandits.
In less than two hours, the battle was won with zero casualties for the villagers.
After counting, the giant net captured a total of forty-six bandits, the rest were all dead.
The villagers cheered, beating gongs and drums in the village, and the old people, women, and children who were hiding also came out of the cellar.
Everyone was still gathered at the East End of the Village, waiting for Sun Jian’s inspection.
At this moment, in their eyes, Sun Jian was almost a god-like existence.
Seeing Sun Jian arrive with his three wives, the villagers enthusiastically surrounded him.
“Sun Jian, you are our guardian god!”
“Yes! It was simply brilliant strategy, extraordinary courage and wisdom, not a single person in our village was injured, and more than five hundred bandits were killed and captured, this scheme, this method is beyond extraordinary!”
“More than extraordinary, think about it, Sun Jian not only possesses unfathomable supernatural arts in medical skill, can make grenades with the power of Thor’s arrival, but also has such wisdom and bravery, what’s that saying? To win thousands of miles away while sitting in the midst of planning, such a person is rare in a thousand years!”
……
The villagers’ flattery and praise were endless, they praised Sun Jian to the skies, making Sun Jian feel very comfortable.
Even the widows in the village began to send amorous glances at Sun Jian, their eyes could almost pull out silk.
“Sun Jian, I, Old Cao, am a rough man, I have offended you many times before, but after today’s events I understand, you are no ordinary person, you will sooner or later rise to great heights, Old Cao following you is my honor! From now on, my life is yours! If you tell me to go east, I will never go west.”
Sun Jian patted Old Cao’s shoulder and nodded.
“Sun Jian, old man, I won’t say much, what do you think should be done with these bandits?”
The Village Head asked Sun Jian for his opinion with a respectful manner.
These people burned, killed, and plundered, committing all kinds of evil, each of them had a murder case on their hands.
Sun Jian didn’t bother talking to these bandits, they didn’t deserve it.
“Clean up the corpses in the village, and have Old Jiang take people along with the living bandits to the government,”
“Do we still need to hide in the cellar today?”
Sun Jian said loudly: “Judging from the numbers, the bandits from Wolf Head Mountain have almost come out in full force, our village will not be threatened for the time being.”
“As for the more distant Tiger Pan Mountain, there is no need to worry, just send people from each household to stand guard on the mountain every day.”
“In the future, when they hear the news of the complete annihilation of the Wolf Head Mountain bandits, they will not act rashly, and they will not easily provoke us.”
“To be on the safe side, Village Head, tell everyone, have Old Cao lead people to dismantle the traps that were not triggered today, and set up new traps outside the village, this time the traps only need to avoid the villagers’ activity areas, and in the future our village can be ensured to be safe.”
Hearing Sun Jian’s instructions, the villagers cheered again, and were busy with Sun Jian’s arrangements.
After a night of turmoil, dawn was breaking.
Sun Jian originally wanted to take his three wives home to continue sleeping, and to finish some unfinished business, but unexpectedly, as soon as he lay down on the bed, the door of his house was knocked again.
“Knock knock knock!”
“Who is it, damn it, won’t anyone let me hug my wife and sleep properly?”
Sun Jian wanted to curse this time, being disturbed again and again, anyone’s temper would be bad.
