Yan Three was extremely anxious.
This was because they were in a bad situation. He didn't have an accurate count of how many soldiers he had lost. However, looking at the current situation, he was sure that more than one-third of his 3,000 men had died.
This battle was not going to be easy.
Yan Three's mind raced as he tried to think of a solution. However, he couldn't think of anything.
They were stuck in a dilemma.
Yan Three looked at his advisor and asked, "Advisor, what should we do now?"
The advisor said, "Retreat. Retreat to the Dahuang Mountain immediately. The County Magistrate of Fushan County, Zhou Qing, has set up a trap for us. If we don't retreat now and attack Fushan County forcefully, we will be ambushed by more soldiers. Hence, we can only retreat now and avoid them. "
Yan Three nodded and immediately ordered, "Retreat! Retreat immediately!"
As the messenger gave the order, the bugle horn sounded.
This was a special order to retreat.
As the orders were given, all the bandits in the Dahuang Mountain who were hiding from the cannons started to retreat. However, as they retreated, they were hit by another wave of cannons, causing many casualties.
Yan Three looked at the dead soldiers and felt like his heart was being stabbed.
This loss was too great.
One must know that from the start to the end, his soldiers had never seen the soldiers of the government. This was especially so since Yan Three had arranged for Jiang Li and the others to infiltrate the government's army. As long as it was the government, he should have received news of their actions and plans.
However, he didn't receive any news of the government hiding in the Green Ridge.
This made Yan Three very confused.
Why?
How did all of this come to this?
Yan Three had countless questions in his heart. However, he could only retreat now. His army finally retreated from the area under the cannons. Yan Three finally heaved a sigh of relief.
When the cannons stopped, Yan Three ordered his men to retreat a distance. Then, he started to count their losses.
The count was fast.
It didn't take long for Yan San's soldiers to finish counting their losses. When the advisor received the results, he came to Yan Three and said solemnly, "Leader, the situation is not good."
Yan San's face was filled with displeasure as he said in a deep voice, "I can see the soldiers that are being slaughtered and I can also see the people that are escaping. Just tell me, how many people did you lose? "
The aide said, "We've lost more than 1,800 men in this battle. Currently, there are less than 1,200 of us who have escaped. Perhaps some of them were still in the forest and had yet to return. However, we have suffered great losses in this battle. "
"Damn it!"
Yan Three's face was filled with rage.
He did not expect that the losses in this battle would be so great.
One thousand eight hundred men were lost.
Yan Three's life on the Dahuang Mountain had been smooth sailing all these years. Every time he went down the mountain to plunder, he never failed and returned with a bountiful harvest. In fact, every time they dealt with the government, they would easily win.
Even if they didn't attack, they only needed to threaten them and the government would immediately admit defeat.
He was always the one who won.
They had never suffered such a great loss before.
This was the first time he had encountered such a loss, so he was furious.
Yan Three gritted his teeth and said, "Our forces are getting smaller and smaller. If we don't have enough people, it's impossible to conquer Fushan County. It's also impossible to threaten Fushan County. On the other hand, the county magistrate of Fushan County will definitely want to exterminate us. Let's retreat to the Dahuang Mountain and recover our strength first. "
The aide said, "First Master is wise!"
"Retreat!"
Yan Three gritted his teeth and gave the order.
He had already made up his mind. He would let Zhou Qing go this time. Once he recovered his strength, he would quietly attack Fushan County. At that time, he would take back everything he had lost.
He would not let this matter rest.
Yan Three led his men to retreat. However, when they were less than two miles away, they saw an army blocking their path.
This army belonged to Fushan County.
The leader was Mordor.
Fushan County did not have a powerful general. It was impossible for the soldiers of Fushan County to charge without someone to guide them. Therefore, Mordor immediately came to guide them.
Mordor did not use the drum or hammer. He rode on his horse and held a six-foot long saber in his hand.
The blade was sharp and it shone brightly under the sunlight.
Mordor raised his saber and looked in Yan Three's direction. As Yan Three was wearing armor and a helmet, he was fully equipped. The commander's flag was also beside Yan Three. Therefore, Moledo was able to determine Yan Three's identity.
Mordor said, "Yan Three, get off your horse and surrender immediately. I can spare your life. Otherwise, you and all the bandits will be killed without mercy. If you resist, you will be killed without mercy. "
Yan Three sneered. "Don't even think about it."
"My men, the soldiers of Dahuang Mountain are at a disadvantage because of their weapons. Now that these soldiers are charging out from the corner, this is our chance to win. Follow me to battle. Kill them! "
Yan Three encouraged the soldiers under him.
"Kill them!"
"Kill the soldiers!"
"Kill them!"
Yan Three kept shouting.
His men could no longer hold themselves back and they charged forward with their sabers in hand. Previously, they had been bombarded by cannons and landmines. They had suffered heavy losses.
All of them felt aggrieved.
Now, they finally had a chance.
They wanted to take revenge.
Mordor looked at the bandits charging towards him and his lips curled up into a cold smile. His eyes were sharp as he slammed his saber against the back of his horse and charged forward.
The soldiers under his command followed closely behind and charged out.
Mordor was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, he had already met Yan Three's bandits.
"Die!"
Mordor bent down and swept his saber across the bandits.
As the saber swept across the bandits, their bodies were sliced open. They were sent flying and they could not get up. In just one move, five bandits were severely injured or killed by Mordor.
Mordor swung his saber again and charged forward. As Mordor charged forward, the bandits that were charging towards him were instantly killed. The soldiers fell to the ground one by one.
In an instant, there were countless casualties.
This scene caused the bandits' faces to be filled with astonishment.
They were all stunned.
How could he be so powerful?
Who was he?
Why did the officials of Fushan County suddenly have such a murderous god?
Mordor's eyes were sharp as he looked at Yan Three who was not far away. He then charged towards Yan Three. Especially after Mordor's massacre, all the bandits were so frightened that they did not dare to fight back. They all retreated.
Hence, Mordor charged forward.
Yan Three was so frightened that he could not help but shiver. He had seen Mordor attack just now. It was easy for him to kill four or five people with one swing of his saber. If he fought with Mordor, he would be killed in one move.
Yan Three quickly dodged. He did not dare to fight back.
However, he could not dodge even if he wanted to. Mordor was getting closer and closer to him.
"Save me! Hurry up and save me!"
Yan Three shouted loudly.
He was about to lose all hope. He did not expect Lin Fan to catch up to him and he was about to be killed. At this moment, Yan Three was filled with regret.
If he had known this would happen, he would not have come.
Why did he attack Fushan County? Wasn't it better to stay in the barren mountains to drink and eat?
