After the shepherd boy successfully entered the mountain pass, Yang Rui left with his soldiers and returned to prepare for the attack on the mountain pass. If everything went smoothly, Yang Rui and the shepherd boy's father agreed to attack the next day.
Early the next morning, Yang Rui led eighty Second Grade soldiers along the mountain path to clear out the newly spawned mountain bandits. They quickly cleared out the area near the mountain pass and lured out a group of ten spearmen from the mountain pass. After successfully eliminating them, Yang Rui and his men started three bonfires not far from the mountain pass.
The bonfires burned fiercely and the smoke rose into the air. It could be seen clearly from afar. This was the signal that Yang Rui had agreed to with the people in the Gourd Valley. However, it was hard to say if the shepherd boy's father would agree to cooperate with Yang Rui and open the gate from behind the mountain pass.
Yang Rui patiently waited for about fifteen minutes, but there was still no movement from the mountain pass' gate. If the shepherd boy's father was prepared, then this period of time should be enough for him to take action! Yang Rui guessed that the operation this time would not be successful.
Another fifteen minutes passed, and there was still no movement from the mountain pass' gate. Yang Rui had no choice but to gather his troops and prepare to leave. But at this moment, the dozen or so archers who were originally united against the enemy suddenly became restless and turned towards the direction of the stronghold.
There was a situation! Yang Rui immediately ordered his soldiers to prepare to attack the mountain pass at any time, while keeping an eye on the mountain pass' gate. As expected, after a series of chaotic sounds of fighting from within the mountain pass, the gate slowly opened by a small gap!
"Soldiers, follow me and charge into the mountain pass!" Seeing the gate open, Yang Rui shouted and was the first to charge towards the gate.
The soldiers behind Yang Rui naturally did not want to fall behind. Under the leadership of Chen Ping and Chen Li, they followed Yang Rui and charged forward like a swarm of bees.
These soldiers were originally only a few dozen meters away from the mountain pass. In just a few breaths' time, they had all reached the gate. Although the archers on the mountain pass had once again turned around to defend, their formation was already messed up and they were not very effective. Among Yang Rui's soldiers, only a few were hit by arrows and their lives were not in danger.
When Yang Rui and his men arrived at the mountain pass, the gate was already half closed. Thus, dozens of Second Grade soldiers charged into the mountain pass. The mountain pass was similar to the mountain pass in the mountain village. The structure was very simple and there was no suspension bridge, moon or any other structures.
After charging through the gate, Yang Rui ordered Chen Li and Chen Ping to each lead forty Second Grade soldiers and charge towards the top of the mountain pass. Yang Rui himself stayed behind in the corridor behind the gate.
At this moment, other than the two corpses lying on the ground, there was also a person standing up against the wall. This person was shirtless and carried a longbow on his back. Judging from the way he was clutching his stomach, he was probably heavily injured!
"I wonder … are you Blazing Sun Village Chief?" When the person saw Yang Rui charge in, he simply sat down slowly and asked.
"I am indeed Blazing Sun Village Chief. Thank you for your help!" Yang Rui walked up to support this person. He knew that this person was most likely the shepherd boy's father.
When Yang Rui reached out to support this person, he realized that his injuries were indeed quite serious. Moreover, there was an arrow stuck in this person's left shoulder. Blood kept flowing down, and Yang Rui's hand was already stained with quite a bit of blood.
"Hero, quickly use this medicine!" Yang Rui quickly took out a blood tonic from his backpack and fed it to this person. This' little red bottle 'was given to him by the system when he first entered the game. Yang Rui had never used it.
Although blood tonics were very effective, they were very expensive. Since the start of the game, Yang Rui had never been willing to use them. Later on, when the number of soldiers under his command increased, he basically had no use for them. Of course, he didn't buy any more.
After this person consumed the blood tonic, his condition was clearly much better. He first applied some medicine and bandaged the wound on his abdomen. Then, he gritted his teeth and pulled out the arrow from his left shoulder.
"Hiss …"
Seeing this, Yang Rui hurriedly stepped forward to help. Together, they removed the torn clothes from his left shoulder and applied medicine to the wound.
"I am Molin. Greetings to Village Chief Blazing Sun!" After a simple treatment, although this person was still very weak, he forced himself to cup his hands and reveal his identity to Yang Rui.
"Hero Molin, you are injured. Please do not move around so easily!" Yang Rui hurriedly supported Molin, who was about to get up, and said, "Once this matter is settled, Blazing Sun will personally accompany Hero Molin to the county town to look at your injuries."
"It's just some external injuries! It's not the first time. " Molin had recovered some of his strength. He waved his hand and said, "As long as I can get rid of the mountain bandits, even if I die, so what?"
Molin's voice was originally low, but after a few sentences, it seemed that he was honest and sincere, which immediately won Yang Rui's attention. Just as Yang Rui was about to say a few words to win him over, Chen Li and Chen Ping from Guan led a group of soldiers down the corridor.
"Reporting to my lord, the sixteen archers from Guan have all been killed. We obtained a total of four basic archery skills books, five short bows, eight quivers of arrows, and 1000 copper coins. In addition, we obtained a total of sixteen basic archery skills books, sixteen short bows, thirty quivers of arrows, one sandalwood longbow, and 3000 copper coins from Guan's warehouse. Twenty-six of my soldiers are injured, but their lives are not in danger. Please give your orders, my lord! "Chen Li reported.
"Hmm, you will temporarily lead thirty men to guard this place. Later on, Chen Ping will lead a team to take over. Each team will be on duty for half a day, and they will take turns. The rest of the injured soldiers and Warrior Molin will be sent to the mountain village to recuperate," Yang Rui said after pondering for a moment. He naturally wanted to kidnap Molin and bring him to the mountain village.
Although they had taken down the beginner level of the mountain bandits, they were unable to occupy it for the time being. Thus, they were unable to provide a place for the soldiers to rest and recover their strength. It was equivalent to being in the wilderness!
Since the checkpoint still belonged to the mountain bandits, as long as they did not choose to destroy it, they would naturally spawn more mountain bandits. Thus, Yang Rui had no choice but to use the method of taking over the checkpoint to ensure that they could maintain their strength and kill the mountain bandits' spearmen and archers whenever they spawned.
"Village Chief Blazing Sun!" As soon as Yang Rui spoke, Molin spoke, "I heard from my son that it should be quite a distance to the mountain village. Why don't we go to Ink Village in Gourd Valley to treat these injured soldiers? There is a small clinic in the village. "
Indeed, before the first system update, no matter if it was a player or a soldier who was injured, as long as they did not suffer fatal injuries, they would be able to gradually recover after a period of rest. However, Yang Rui had always coveted Gourd Valley. Now that Molin had mentioned it, Yang Rui naturally agreed. It was also a good opportunity for him to go to the valley to take a look.
