CHAPTER 611: CHAPTER 293: THE DAZED BANDITS

The bandit was now weak in the lower body, bleeding nonstop, and could only stand with the support of two militiamen, his mouth also tightly gagged.

Fang Ming commanded everyone to take the two bandit scouts back.

Then he started preparing for the bandit attack.

The whistle just now had already been blown by the bandits, and it was likely that the backup already knew and was going back to report to the bandits.

Meanwhile, people from Fang Ming’s side were sent along the path to seek aid from the town.

The village was in a state of full alert.

Not long after.

The sound of hoofbeats came from afar, and by the sound, the number of horses wasn’t many, suggesting that this group of bandits was small in scale, and others were probably on foot.

Fang Ming heaved a sigh of relief, then had someone start striking the village bell "Dong—dong—dong—" with a rapid sound, notifying everyone that the bandits were coming.

After the bell resounded.

Bang bang bang bang!

A burst of gunfire came from afar and the sound got closer and closer.

Until vaguely visible on the horizon, which was not yet completely dark, at the end of the road appeared dozens of bandits in ragged clothes, howling as they followed a few mounted bandits out of the forest.

But when they were still a significant distance from the village, they stopped.

Then a bandit jogged forward, shouting loudly:

"Hey mud legs inside! Listen up!"

"Send out our people from Black Wolf Mountain respectfully, and bring us food and silver dollars, and we’ll be on our way!"

"Otherwise, we’ll kill our way in and leave no one behind!"

Fang Ming signaled for the others not to move, then also shouted loudly:

"Oh, it’s you guys from Black Wolf Mountain!"

"We don’t want trouble either!"

"But you’ve been scouting here more than once, haven’t you!"

"How can you guarantee that once you release them, you’ll leave us alone?"

The surrounding people were astonished, but seeing Fang Ming’s calm demeanor, they suddenly realized he was playing these bandits.

The bandit opposite was also taken aback.

The prepared fierce words were swallowed back.

Completely unexpected that the other side would be so submissive.

Just a few words, and they were ready to release the people, for a moment not knowing what to say.

Because in the past, in these situations, the other side would fiercely resist.

Seeing the leading bandit at a loss for words, the Black Wolf Mountain bandit behind rode forward:

"I’m the boss of Black Wolf Mountain."

"Since it’s been said."

"Then it counts!"

"Hurry up and hand over the people!"

Fang Ming loudly shouted back:

"Alright!"

"I’ll hand them over to you now!"

Saying this, he waved his hand, and the village gate below opened, and this straightforwardness made the boss of Black Wolf Mountain momentarily dazed, did they really believe it?

However.

The gate was open, and when looking inside through the gate...

Bam!

A gunshot rang out!

The Black Wolf Mountain boss wasn’t hit, but the shot hit the horse’s head, causing the crazed horse to rear up and thrash wildly.

The Black Wolf Mountain boss tumbled down.

Then gunfire erupted from all directions.

Fang Ming shouted loudly:

"Fire!!!"

The ambush that was originally prepared to attack the bandits now, with the Black Wolf Mountain boss served up, fired in a frenzy from both sides.

The Black Wolf Mountain boss, lying on the ground, shouted angrily:

"Fire at them! Charge in and chop them up!"

Hearing the boss’s voice, the bandits seemed to find their backbone, howling as they rushed over, trying to rescue the bandit leader who had been hit by several shots.

At the same time, using a mishmash of weapons like rifles, muskets, and old-fashioned firearms, they fired wildly at the village.

Fang Ming relied on his marksmanship, almost hitting a bandit with every shot.

But in the end, he was only one person, and his weapon was inadequate, while the other militiamen and bandits fought evenly, though the militia were more trained.

But with the darkness and range, the hits were relatively few, they could only wait for the bandits to get closer before shooting.

But there were too many bandits.

Waiting to shoot up close made it easy for them to rush in.

Fang Ming kept shooting.

Watching the Black Wolf Mountain boss, struggling and retreating with a few bandits supporting him, he couldn’t help but curse under his breath:

"Damn!"

"Wasn’t he hit three times?"

"Didn’t kill him?"

He had fired a shot and those ambushing on both sides had hit at least two or three times.

But seeing the Black Wolf Mountain boss looking furious, he probably wasn’t hit in a vital spot.

As the Black Wolf Mountain boss retreated to a safe distance, he also started to launch a furious counterattack, directing the bandits to use their firepower to suppress the village’s defenses.

Forcing the bandits to charge.

The militia’s heads were pinned down by the gunfire, while the bandits took the opportunity to get closer and closer.

"Captain! We’re almost out of bullets!"

"Er Niu has been shot!"

"They’re flanking us from the right!"

The more difficult the situation, the more chaotic it became.

The bandits were closing in.

Fang Ming’s side could only hold out for as long as possible, while the two bandit scouts next to him seemed to see hope, writhing excitedly, their faces beaming.

If their mouths weren’t gagged, Fang Ming had no doubt these two bandits would be mocking him.

Turning his head to look at the two bandits who were becoming defiant.

Fang Ming didn’t hesitate.

Click-click—

The rifle in his hands was loaded.

Seeing Fang Ming’s action, the two bandits’ faces turned deathly pale, realizing they were still in his hands.

They shook their heads frantically, trying to say something, pleading for Fang Ming to spare their lives.

Fang Ming just looked at the terrified bandits:

"Go to hell."

Bang! Bang!

One shot each, killing them instantly.

Then he dragged over the bodies of the two bandit scouts and threw them out.

Thud! Thud!

The two bodies hit the ground.

For a moment, the battlefield seemed silent, but then came an even fiercer attack.

Indeed...

Fang Ming saw a bandit charging at them with a sack.

"What the hell?"

"Get down!!!"

Boom—!

A loud explosion.

The village gate below was blown halfway off.

Fang Ming had no idea if the bandit lived or died, but now he was beginning to question reality.

This wasn’t just a bandit, it was like some brainwashed cult.

The bandits in the distance were overly excited, their strange cries attempting to incite fear growing louder.

But then.

From the forest, a tremendously clear and piercing bugle sounded:

"Dee-da-da—dee-dee—!!!"

Instantly overwhelming all other sounds, the excited cries of the bandits were immediately drowned out by the bugle, causing them to freeze.

In the forest.

A resounding shout roared like a landslide or tsunami:

"Attack!!!"

Bang-bang-bang—

Da-da-da-da!

Countless soldiers wearing red-star military caps descended like fierce tigers, the muzzles of their submachine guns and rifles unleashed the flames of revenge, bullets pouring like torrential rain onto the bandits!

The Liberation Army had arrived!

The bandits, who were just excitedly howling all sorts of sounds, suddenly fell into disarray, holding their heads in terror as they fled.

And the ruthless and vicious leader of Black Wolf Mountain looked ashen, trembling as he commanded nearby bandits to carry him away.

But at this point, who would listen to him?

The leader, shot in the leg, was left behind, watching the fleeing bandits in anger as he raised his gun to shoot.

But before he could fire.

The escaping bandits were immediately gunned down by the Liberation Army’s bullets.

Seeing this.

The leader of Black Wolf Mountain trembled all over, looking at the approaching Liberation Army, he dropped his gun and shouted:

"Don’t shoot! I surrender!"

"I have important intelligence! Important intelligence!!!"

Hearing the words of the Black Wolf Mountain leader.

The surrounding Liberation Army slowed their actions, and seeing this, the Black Wolf Mountain leader quickly shouted:

"I’ll confess!"

"I’ll confess everything! Don’t kill me!"

Two Liberation Army soldiers subdued him.

The other surviving bandits were also captured by the Liberation Army, all lying on the ground, not daring to move.

Fang Ming stood on the village wall and let out a sigh of relief.

Finally, they had arrived.

The recent scenes had also left him a bit stunned.

It was mainly because it happened so quickly.

From the moment the Liberation Army charged out, like a sweeping autumn wind, in a short span, most of the bandits were dead or injured, the vivid scene bringing Fang Ming on the wall and the Blue Star viewers in the live broadcast a sense of exhilaration.

The fight was extraordinarily satisfying.

If dealing with small-scale bandits was like this, what would it be like with larger ones?
