Daming: Dad, you are really not good at governing the country

The thief watched the soldiers of Shuozhou Guard retreat step by step, and suddenly a surge of irrepressible ecstasy surged in his heart.

There was a gleam of greed and complacency in their eyes, as if they had already seen victory waving at them.

This sudden "dawn of victory" made these thieves completely lose their minds.

The thieves were so overwhelmed by victory that they completely ignored their original formation.

They were like a group of out-of-control beasts whose savagery had been ignited, letting out bursts of roars from their throats.

They desperately chased in the direction where the Shuozhou guards were fleeing, their formation was disorganized and there was no order at all.

Just as the group of thieves were chasing fiercely, shouts of killing suddenly rang out from the woods on both sides.

The sound was like rolling thunder, echoing through the valley.

The encirclement troops of Shuozhou Guard appeared in the thieves' sight like a divine force descending from the sky.

These soldiers are all in good shape, and their hard training on weekdays has endowed them with extraordinary combat qualities.

At this moment, the Shuozhou Guards' outflanking troops, with the belief that they would win, launched an extremely fierce attack from the enemy's defenseless rear like a tiger.

Their offensive was like an extremely sharp blade, piercing fiercely into the thieves' camp.

The thieves could never have imagined that the situation that seemed to have won them would be reversed in an instant.

This sudden attack instantly disrupted their originally neat formation into pieces and caused it to collapse.

The thieves were suddenly trapped in a desperate situation with enemies coming from all sides. Their original ferocity and arrogance disappeared at this moment.

Instead, his face was filled with undisguised fear and panic.

Their eyes were filled with fear and helplessness, like lambs to be slaughtered.

The soldiers of Shuozhou Guard seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Under Lin Zhen's powerful command, their morale was greatly boosted and they launched an overwhelming and comprehensive counterattack.

The spearmen in the front row shouted in unison, and the shouts were earth-shaking, as if they were going to make the entire world tremble.

Their morale was high and they marched forward steadily with neat and firm steps.

The tip of the gun flashed with a cold light, and wherever it pointed, the thieves were like frightened birds, dodging in panic for fear of being stabbed by the sharp tip of the gun.

The soldiers in the back row were not to be outdone. They quickly used the spears in their hands as javelins and threw them with all their strength towards the area where the thieves were concentrated.

The spear whizzed through the air, drawing sharp arcs.

Just like meteors streaking across the night sky, falling with destructive power.

The spear landed accurately into the group of thieves, and screams were heard instantly.

The thief was stabbed by the spear, and blood splattered, further killing the enemy.

For a moment, there were screams in the bandits' camp and the scene was horrific.

The ground was littered with corpses, like hell on earth.

Under the powerful attack from the Shuozhou guards from the front and back, the bandits were finally unable to resist.

They no longer had the arrogance they had before and began to flee in all directions like headless flies.

The soldiers of Shuozhou Guard took advantage of the victory and pursued the enemy like a tiger descending from the mountain, leaving the bandits no chance to breathe.

They chased the thieves closely, and the weapons in their hands continued to reap the enemy's lives.

After a fierce fight, most of the bandits were wiped out.

On the battlefield, blood gathered into streams, dyeing the earth red.

Only a few lucky ones escaped the net and fled into the mountains in panic like stray dogs.

They were in a panic and soon disappeared into the vast forest. As the thieves fled, the battlefield gradually returned to peace.

This land, which had just experienced a brutal battle, was left with only a devastated and miserable scene.

The lingering smell of blood seemed like a silent witness, quietly telling the story of the thrilling, life-and-death battle that had just taken place.

Looking at the medical soldiers bandaging the wounded, Song Yanzhang reminded Lin Zhen who was standing beside him: "Commander Lin, the most important thing right now is to find out the identity of this group of thieves.

They were able to ambush the army here because they must have been tipped off by a spy who was familiar with the local environment in Luzhou.

If we don’t catch them soon, they will come back again.”

Lin Zhen nodded solemnly and said, "General Song, what you are worried about is also my biggest concern at the moment.

Judging from the battle situation just now, the bandits who ambushed us were obviously well prepared.

Moreover, those who dared to ambush the government troops must be death squads sent by the enemy.

It's probably not that easy to find out his true identity through ordinary interrogation methods!"

Just as the noise of the battlefield gradually calmed down, a general in exquisite armor was seen walking towards this side with steady and powerful steps in the distance.

This man was none other than You Jiaping, the third-rank commander of the Luzhou Prefecture Guard. His armor gleamed with a unique metallic luster under the sunlight.

The animal head patterns on the shoulder guards are lifelike, highlighting his extraordinary status.

Behind You Jiaping were two soldiers from the Shuozhou Guard, each escorting a wounded bandit prisoner.

The two thieves were staggering and covered in blood, obviously having been seriously injured in the previous battle.

Their faces were haggard, and their eyes revealed despair and unwillingness.

Being held tightly by the soldiers, every step he took seemed extremely difficult.

At this time, You Jiaping looked serious and scanned the battlefield around him.

He seemed to be assessing the gains and losses of the battle, and then he steadily approached the direction where the crowd was.

“Your Excellencies, according to statistics, the total number of casualties among Shuozhou Guard soldiers is approximately 700 to 1,000.

Among them, about 200 to 400 people were killed and about 500 to 600 people were injured.

Some of the injured soldiers have minor injuries and can quickly recover after simple treatment, while the seriously injured will need a longer period of recuperation. "

When You Jiaping slowly said that the Shuozhou Guards had suffered nearly one-third of their troops in casualties, it seemed as if an invisible haze instantly enveloped Lin Zhen and Song Yanzhang.

Lin Zhen's originally resolute face now seemed to be attacked by frost.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, a trace of sadness and self-blame flashed in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly unconsciously.

Those tightly pursed lips showed that Lin Zhen was under tremendous pressure.

Then he subconsciously clenched his hands into fists, and the veins on the back of his hands bulged slightly due to the force.

It was as if he wanted to vent all the pain and unwillingness through his clenched fists.

The same was true for Song Yanzhang; his face turned as dark as ink in an instant.

Those originally bright eyes were now covered by a layer of deep sadness and anger.

Taking a deep breath, Song Yanzhang's chest heaved violently.

It was as if he wanted to suppress the surging emotions in his heart, but he was powerless.

His brows were tightly furrowed together, forming a deep "川" character.

At this moment, Song Yanzhang had fallen into deep reflection on this brutal battle.

After hearing the bad news, the faces of both of them became gloomy at the same time, and the air was instantly filled with a suffocating and oppressive atmosphere. (End of this chapter)
