They say your illegitimate child is worthless, yet you rebel with seven wives?

Meanwhile, Xue Baichen had already led his army into the vicinity of Yunhai Town.

He frowned, glanced at the occasional passersby from Yunhai Town, and snorted, "Why does this Yunhai Town look so poor and shabby?"

"I was hoping the people here could give me some money to spend, or maybe they could send me some people to sell to the Mo family..."

"Hmph, it turns out to be a bunch of worthless scoundrels. They probably couldn't even mine anything in the mine."

A lieutenant approached obsequiously and said, "General Xue, how about we treat you to a brothel after we arrive in Yunhai Town..."

"I've heard that the women in brothels in small towns are even more alluring!"

Xue Baichen sneered, his face full of disdain: "More pungent? You mean body odor?"

The lieutenant's face immediately turned extremely ugly.

Xue Baichen glanced at him disdainfully and said, "I may be a womanizer, but I don't eat everything..."

"But judging from what you just said, you seem to be very familiar with the area around Yunhai Town?"

The lieutenant immediately replied, "I used to live here for a period of time!"

"Do you know where Xiaoyun Village is?"

The lieutenant nodded and said, "Xiaoyun Village is located at the foot of that mountain range..."

Xue Baichen waved his hand impatiently, "Since you know, then lead the way! Why waste so much time talking?"

Then, he glanced behind him and said, "You pick a hundred men to come with me to Xiaoyun Village first. The rest of you, continue on!"

The lieutenant immediately agreed and went to carry out Xue Baichen's instructions.

So, at this fork in the road, the army of five hundred men split into two columns and went in two different directions.

A team of over four hundred people, escorting warhorses, headed towards Yunhai Town.

A team of one hundred people headed straight for Xiaoyun Village!

……

A procession of over four hundred people was at the front.

Han Yan, who was lying prone on the ground, suddenly stood up after feeling the tremor and said, "They're here!"

"All sides, be on high alert!"

The forty-odd people immediately tensed up, their eyes shining with excitement.

The next moment, they immediately concealed themselves as they had been told before.

Upon seeing the elite troops of Feiyun City, they immediately grabbed their composite crossbows and unleashed a barrage of fire!

Whoosh!

Whizzing!

A hail of arrows rained down, covering the sky!

The more than four hundred men immediately tensed up and shouted, "Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

If they were truly rotten fish and shrimp, this barrage of arrows could have killed more than 10% of the 400-plus people!

However, these four hundred-plus men were, after all, soldiers from Feiyun City, and they had been trained!

So when a volley of arrows came down, they immediately grabbed their shields to defend against the crossbow bolts!

Moreover, this shield is the standard shield of the Great Xia Dynasty, and it is quite sturdy. At such a distance, it can withstand the crossbow bolts of a composite crossbow!

Therefore, in the end only about ten people died!

Whoosh!

Whizzing!

Of course, since it was a sneak attack, it couldn't possibly be a hail of arrows!

Instead, it was a deluge of arrows, a vast and mighty rain, exceeding thousands of crossbow bolts!

Ultimately, more than thirty people were killed or injured!

"Whoosh—"

Han Yan whistled and retreated immediately, shouting even louder, "This is tough, brothers, let's get out of here!"

The forty-odd people immediately split into different directions and crawled directly into the roadside!

The current temporary commander of the more than four hundred elite soldiers of Feiyun City was a middle-aged man, who flew into a rage upon hearing this.

"You bastards, you even dare to ambush government troops?!"

"Damn it, you think you can run? You're not getting away!"

"Men, guard these warhorses! The rest of you, follow me!"

The more than 400 people split up again, but before long, more than 20 privates from the Yanhuang Army returned and launched another surprise attack with arrows!

Upon receiving the message, the middle-aged man had no choice but to rush back!

A private first class of the Yanhuang Army laughed in the shadows, "This is our Langya Mountain territory. You think you can capture us? Impossible!"

"I'll give you a chance. Leave your warhorses behind, and you can leave!"

The middle-aged leader's face was extremely grim.

"Bastard!"

He once again led his men to seek revenge.

However, not long after, the Yanhuang army came around from other places, forcing him to return again!

"Hahaha, you can't catch us!"

"So what if they're Feiyun City's elite troops? Aren't they still being played like fools by us?"

"Hurry up and put the warhorse down..."

At this moment, several figures returned and whispered a few words in the middle-aged commander's ear.

The middle-aged leader immediately broke into a smile, "Haha, just a bunch of bandits, yet they dare to spout such nonsense?!"

"I've found you!"

"Let's go, everyone follow! General Xue said there's another objective this time: to wipe out the bandits of Langya Mountain!"

“I just deployed men and learned that these bandits from Wolf Fang Mountain are all gathered in a valley; this might be their main base…”

The middle-aged commander led over four hundred men and warhorses, charging towards the valley.

He wasn't worried about any ambush, after all, in his eyes they were just a bunch of bandits, even if their equipment was a bit strange...

At most a hundred or so people, so what if they're lying in ambush?!

But if you can make a contribution, you might gain Xue Baichen's appreciation!

This is a member of the Xue family!

Even the city lord had to be extremely respectful and fawning in front of Xue Baichen, his face crinkling with smiles!

……

Han Yan noticed the movements of these elite soldiers from Feiyun City, and a smile immediately appeared on his face.

"The plan worked!"

"Quickly inform the young master... we've done a great service this time!"

Han Yan smiled and said, "Also, although we've finished our work, we can't just leave it at that!"

"It's a deal, we're going to slaughter them all! What's five hundred men? With this kind of equipment and these advantages, we can easily wipe out all five hundred elite soldiers from Flying Cloud City..."

Just then, he suddenly frowned and looked down at the soldiers below from a high ridge.

"Five hundred people..."

Han Yan instinctively felt something was wrong, "There don't seem to be five hundred people here..."

He summoned several privates to conduct a thorough investigation.

Although the crowd didn't understand what he was trying to do, they listened to him and soon came to a conclusion.

"There are only about 380 people here..."

"Even if we shot and killed more than thirty people just now, there are only more than four hundred people in total!"

Han Yan's eyelids twitched, and he almost cried out in alarm: "That means there are a hundred people missing! Oh no, something's wrong!"

A private first class said, "Han Yan, could it be that there's a problem with the intelligence from the young master's side..."

Han Yan shook his head and said, "That's unlikely!"

"Given your personality, young master, you'll definitely only give it to us after you've made sure everything is correct!"

"One hundred people are missing... Where did these hundred-plus people go? Report to the young master immediately!"

……

at the same time.

In the valley, Su Luo gripped his Tang sword, ready to fight!
