Ang Lee and his group of more than 30 people had already been surrounded by Duan Chu's men. The other side had 100 people in front and behind them, while Ang Lee only had 30 people with him. Although 30 people were very powerful, the number of people was still a bit weak. Too few people would not be able to form an effective defensive formation. Therefore, for safety, taking an inconspicuous path was a good idea. Because according to the map, this inconspicuous path led directly to the Mo family village. Such a hidden path, should not be discovered by many people.
"Well, I will take the path alone. If there are too many people, it will be easier to be exposed."
After Ang Lee finished speaking, he quietly left through the path. He did not bring anyone with him. This way, he would be a small target and would not be easy to be discovered. In addition, Ang Lee had a secret weapon on him. Even if he encountered bad people, he would have the ability to protect himself. He did not need anyone to protect him. In addition, Ang Lee's secret weapon had not been made public yet. It would be more troublesome to have someone with him. It would be better to move alone. If he encountered bad people, he would directly take out his weapon and kill them.
Chen Long felt that Ang Lee's words were reasonable. Having more people was not necessarily a good thing. If there were fewer people, there would be fewer targets and it would not be easy to be discovered. Therefore, he led more than 30 people and rushed to the front of more than 100 bandits. At the very least, he would be able to kill a bloody path and return to the main force. At this moment, he was not only worried about Ang Lee, but also worried that the main force would be besieged. It was necessary to quickly go back and inform the main force.
Ang Lee rode alone slowly along the path. After all, even if it was a little-known path, there could be an ambush. Therefore, Ang Lee had to be very careful. After traveling slowly for a while, Ang Lee took out two self-defense pistols and installed silencers. Naturally, the bullets were very sufficient. One pistol had 20 bullets, two pistols had 40 bullets. There were also many spare magazines. Killing one or two hundred bandits in one breath was a piece of cake. Even if the other side had more people, as long as he killed one or two hundred bandits, the bandits behind would naturally not dare to charge.
Ang Lee's preparation was not wrong. After traveling slowly for a while, he found an ambush in front of him. When Ang Lee found that there was an ambush in front of him, a group of bandits suddenly appeared behind him. There were more than 50 bandits in front and at least 20 bandits behind him. Whether there was an ambush or not, no one knew.
Ang Lee had a secret weapon in hand, so naturally, he was not afraid of these bandits at all. These bandits naturally did not know the strength of Ang Lee. They thought that Ang Lee was a soft persimmon and were preparing to make a contribution.
"Brothers, there is only one person on the other side. Moreover, he is the person we want to kill. Brothers, don't miss such a good opportunity. As long as we kill this person, we can get a large amount of treasure from the Duan Family. Brothers, what are you waiting for? Let's go!"
The leader of the bandits said excitedly.
Obviously, he regarded Ang Lee as a soft persimmon. In his opinion, Ang Lee was only one person, and he had nearly a hundred brothers under his command. The difference in strength was extremely great. He felt that he could kill Ang Lee with just a flick of his finger.
These bandits were naturally the ones who bullied the weak and feared the strong. When they saw that Ang Lee was alone, they all excitedly surrounded him.
However, Ang Lee did not intend to talk nonsense with them. He would kill a group of them first, especially the arrogant leader of the bandits, who was the first to be killed.
Ang Lee raised his two pistols and fired randomly at the crowd in front of him. Because the distance was not far, more than a dozen bandits lost their lives in almost an instant, including the leader of the bandits. He almost did not understand what was going on, and his life had already been lost.
This sudden scene caused the remaining bandits to panic. They never expected that Ang Lee would have such a sharp weapon in his hands that could easily kill them. How could this not shock them. The bandits in front were shocked, while the bandits behind were puzzled. They could not see the situation in front of them clearly. They could not figure out what was going on in front of them, but they knew that something must have happened.
Although Ang Lee fired two pistols at the same time, he did not use them equally. Instead, he used one more and one less. In this way, there would not be a situation where the two pistols were used up at the same time, and he could deal with the crisis more calmly.
Seeing that the bandits had fallen into panic, Ang Lee smiled slightly and continued to shoot these bandits crazily. Until all the bullets in one pistol were used up, the other pistol had less than five bullets left.
Ang Lee quickly changed a new magazine, and then continued to shoot these bandits blocking the road.
These bandits were naturally afraid of death. They were surprised to find that with so few of them, they were really not the opponent of one person. They had just met, and they had lost half of their brothers in one breath. Even the leader was killed. The rest of the bandits were so scared that they did not dare to think about killing Ang Lee anymore. They immediately swarmed away.
Ang Lee was having fun killing. How could he let them escape? He directly rode his horse and chased after them. The speed of the bullets was extremely fast. It was easy to catch up with the escaping bandits. Not long after, the fifty bandits blocking the road were all killed by Ang Lee. After two of the bandits behind him were killed, the rest fled. Ang Lee did not want to chase after them. As long as they knew how powerful he was, it was enough. These mere bandits wanted to kill Ang Lee. They were simply courting death. At the same time, Ang Lee was also glad that he carried a secret weapon. Otherwise, if he encountered this situation, even if he did not die, he would lose a layer of skin.
Along this hidden path, Ang Lee continued to move forward. What Ang Lee did not expect was that there was an ambush ahead. However, the number of people was not large. There were only about twenty people. These people probably thought that the ambush ahead would definitely be able to kill Ang Lee, so they did not make the corresponding preparations. Ang Lee, who had just arrived, noticed these guys.
Since he knew that they were people who wanted to kill him, Li An naturally wouldn't hold back. He directly aimed at these people and fired randomly, killing all of them. Not a single one was left alive.
After killing these guys, Ang Lee did not rush back to the main force. Instead, he reloaded all the bullets in his pistol, took off one of the silencers, and put it away. After all, this position was very close to the Mo Family Village. He should not encounter any more bandits.
As for who wanted to assassinate him, Ang Lee did not intend to personally investigate. When he killed these bandits, Ang Lee also thought about whether to capture a few of them alive to ask about the situation. However, after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that it was not necessary. It was more appropriate to leave this job to the local garrison. The local army originally stationed in Dongnu Province had now begun to be reorganized into the army of the Tang dynasty. The personnel would be reduced to a certain extent, but the soldiers' salaries would be greatly increased. In general, the Tang dynasty was very friendly to the former army of Dongnu Province and would not treat them badly.
After smoothly returning to the Mo Family Village, Ang Lee could not help but feel relieved when he saw that the main force was safe and sound. It seemed that there were not many people on the other side. Zhao Yafu and the main force were fine.
"Assistant Minister Li, why did you come back alone?"
A soldier of the Dragon Martial Army asked in surprise.
Ang Lee said, "Immediately strengthen the alert and select 100 soldiers to go with me to suppress the bandits. Hurry up."
At this time, Ang Lee was a little worried about Chen Long and his men. There were only 30 of them. Ang Lee did not doubt that they could break through the blockade of 100 bandits. However, Ang Lee was not sure if every soldier could escape safely. If some of the soldiers fell off their horses, would Chen Long stay to rescue them? If so, wouldn't it be a bitter battle? Therefore, Ang Lee had to quickly lead a fresh force to help.
Because the distance was not very far and all the soldiers were riding horses, they soon saw Chen Long and his men who were fighting and retreating. Although they were forced to retreat by the enemy's superior numbers, after they formed a formation, their defense was amazing. The enemy could not break through and could only press on step by step.
Seeing that Chen Long had reinforcements behind him, the bandits felt that it was too troublesome. They could not even deal with 30 people, let alone the reinforcements.
"Forget it, let's go! There's no way we can fight this battle. More than 50 of our brothers have died, while only a few of the 30 bandits have been injured. "
"These people are too difficult to deal with. How can they have such elite troops?"
"Not good, it seems that reinforcements have arrived. There are more than 100 of them. If we don't leave now, our losses will be even greater."
"Brother Duan, it seems that we underestimated the enemy. They are very strong."
The group of bandits said noisily.
Duan Chu looked carefully and smiled. "Don't worry, that person is not among the 30 bandits. I looked carefully at each of their faces, and they are all wrong. It seems that our target is the one who took the small path. At this time, the brothers who were lying in ambush should have done something. Well, since the enemy's reinforcements have arrived, let's quickly retreat!"
Obviously, Duan Chu did not know at this time that the other group of people they had ambushed had almost been completely wiped out. Only a very small number of people had escaped with their lives, and out of the hundred people, eighty had died under Li An's spear.
"Don't chase a cornered enemy."
Seeing that the enemy was retreating, Chen Long stopped the soldiers who wanted to chase and asked them to stop.
"What's going on? Why are you being held back?"
Ang Lee asked when he saw Chen Long.
Chen Long said, "Assistant Minister Li, this is all an accident. When we were charging, some of our brothers accidentally fell off their horses. I couldn't leave them behind, so I turned back to help them. In this way, we were entangled with the enemy. Assistant Minister Li, did you encounter any ambush on the small path?"
Seeing that Ang Lee was unharmed, Chen Long speculated that Ang Lee's journey must have been very smooth. Otherwise, he would not have arrived with reinforcements so quickly.
Ang Lee smiled. He did not tell Chen Long about the ambush on the road, so as not to worry him. At the same time, he did not want to expose his trump card. At this time, Ang Lee did not intend to expose this weapon. This was his personal weapon and could not be easily displayed in front of outsiders.
"Assistant Minister Li, who are these people? Why are they targeting us? "
Chen Long asked doubtfully.
Ang Lee smiled and said, "How would I know? However, we don't have much time to deal with this matter. Immediately report to the local garrison! Just leave the task of cleaning up the bandits to the local garrison. They should be able to find out the reason, so we don't have to worry. "
Obviously, Ang Lee did not forget the main purpose of his trip. Scouting for resources and terrain along the way was the most urgent thing for Ang Lee to do. As for the few bandits who wanted to assassinate him, Ang Lee could just leave it to the local garrison.
However, although he did not intend to get involved personally, Ang Lee had some doubts about why these people wanted to kill him. Could it be that these people had nothing better to do? There must be a reason. Ang Lee was quite curious about this reason.
Several injured soldiers were undergoing emergency treatment for their wounds. Chen Long sent a few soldiers to pull over the heavily injured villains who were left behind.
"Speak. Who are you and why do you want to assassinate us?"
Chen Long asked.
"I don't know. I'm just a small fry."
The heavily injured bandit said.
"Since you don't know anything, then die!"
Chen Long slit the bandit's neck with one slash.
"You, are you going to speak or not?"
Chen Long looked at the other heavily injured bandit and asked.
"I really don't know. Our leader asked us to come. We're all from Nanzhao. I think we're the leader's brothers. As long as we can complete the mission, we'll get a lot of treasure."
The heavily injured bandit said.
Chen Long and Ang Lee looked at each other. They seemed to have guessed something and helped the heavily injured bandit to relieve his pain.
"It seems like it's a problem with Nanzhao. If that's the case, isn't it extremely dangerous for us to go to Nanzhao? They dare to openly assassinate us here. If we go to their territory, who knows what they'll do?"
Chen Long said worriedly.
Li An sighed and nodded. "What you say makes a lot of sense. That seems to be the case. However, we can't not go just because we're afraid. The railroad to the Indian Sea must pass through Nanzhao. This is something that can't be helped. I believe that Geluofeng won't dare to act openly, but if he acts in secret, he won't be able to escape responsibility."
"Assistant Minister Li, I still think it's too risky. We should at least bring more people. Three hundred people are too few. If there's a large-scale assassination, we can't guarantee Assistant Minister Li's safety."
Chen Long continued worriedly.
Ang Lee waved his hand. "Forget it. Let's not talk about this for now. Let's go back! Today's trip to the Mo Family Valley is completely ruined. We'll go again when we have the chance! "
Obviously, Ang Lee couldn't go to the Mo Family Valley before he fully understood the situation. He could only put away his curiosity. There would be plenty of opportunities in the future. At least, he had to take care of all these bandits first before he could explore the Mo Family Valley again.
In a secluded valley, Duan Chu and the other leaders of the bandits all had ashen complexions. They had never imagined that out of the hundred people who had been lying in ambush, Li An alone had killed eighty of them, leaving only twenty brothers who had managed to escape. Li An's strength had left them somewhat dumbfounded. The problem was that the twenty brothers who had managed to escape were simply unable to figure out what kind of weapon Li An had used. It was as if if he had pointed a finger at them, one of them would have lost his life.
