The sergeant beside the general spoke with a flattering look on his face and nodded.

"Haha, we must be careful about everything. What if there is an expert among them?"

"General, under your wise and brave leadership, we brothers are not pushovers. When the time comes, you can just sit in the big tent."

"Leave everything to the brothers!"

Listening to his men's words, the general's face revealed a hint of confidence and disdain.

I thought to myself, we can't beat those regular soldiers, so how could we lose to those refugees?

Those bandits, although called bandits, were actually arranged by the city lord. They were nothing more than a group of dogs raised by the city lord.

They are regular soldiers of Lingyang City, and all of them are well-trained and powerful.

"Okay, remember what I said, don't be careless, speed up, and try to eliminate those people as far away as possible."

Everyone among them understood that Lingyang City had suffered a devastating disaster, and the City Lord had wanted to maintain his status and the soldiers in the palace to continue to maintain their original lives in Lingyang City.

Most of the disaster relief funds and grain allocated from above were embezzled.

Those helpless refugees were forced to leave the city and flee to Hyde.

In order to cover up the truth, they arranged so-called bandits along the way to eliminate these people.

Now the refugees have not been eliminated and are coming back. How can this be tolerated?

If someone reports this to the higher-ups, he would be killed for embezzling so much money and grain.

Each of them is actually a participant, so at this moment they have the same idea as the city lord.

That is, we must never let those refugees return to Lingyang City.

There is another important reason, which is that the higher-ups are about to send people to investigate the results of the disaster relief efforts in Lingyang.

Although the population of Lingyang City had decreased by tens of thousands at this moment, the noble families and dignitaries were still living a carefree and comfortable life, as if the disaster had not come.

If the people above saw this group of refugees, the matter would be exposed.

The palace soldiers rushed towards Hyde City at a very fast speed. The general, with dozens of lieutenants, waved their whips vigorously and urged the team to move forward.

As long as we eliminate this group of people in the mountains, we can do it without anyone noticing.

But Chu Chen and his team stopped the team today.

Firstly, it was to allow the refugees to rest for a day, and secondly, it was to allow the soldiers to train again.

After all, what they will face next are the well-equipped soldiers in Lingyang City.

Chu Chen and Roland set up a canopy and were now sitting in front of a table drinking tea and watching those who were training hard.

Chang Shou pulled out a small team and said, "You guys, go ahead a hundred miles and explore the road. We will soon reach Lingyang, so we can't let anything go wrong!"

That’s right, under Chu Chen’s guidance, they have developed a scout team that specializes in gathering military intelligence at the front.

After this group of people left, Chang Shou was back on the training ground, directing everyone's training.

In fact, what he valued most were the thousand archers. You know, they had no large-scale attack and defense equipment.

There were not even any war horses. The few horses they had were ordinary horses that were captured. There was no hope of them being able to charge into battle.

Therefore, when facing the palace soldiers, these long-range shooters become particularly important.

An Lan was not idle either. At this moment, he was holding a crossbow and madly attacking a big tree.

As night fell, the group of scouts that had been sent out earlier suddenly rushed back.

Moreover, there were only three or five people who came back, and each of them was injured.

Seeing this scene, Chang Shou immediately rushed forward and asked, "What happened?"

"Oh no, oh no, the soldiers are coming!"

One of the scouts fell in front of Chang Shou after saying this.

Chang Shou suddenly became nervous and said to another person, "Tell me quickly, how many people are there? Cavalry or infantry? Where are they?"

"About 3,000 men, infantry, only a hundred miles away from us."

After listening to this, Chang Shou nodded and thought that infantry was okay, but it would be a bit troublesome if it was cavalry.

"Alright, the rest of you go down and rest. Send another team to check on their situation and report back at any time!"

After sending out a team, Chang Shou turned and headed towards Chu Chen's carriage.

"Son!"

"You've been through a war, but you're still so impetuous. How can you be their leader in the future?"

"Chang Shou understands!" Seeing Chu Chen's calm face, Chang Shou's heart calmed down a little.

"Tell me, what happened?"

"Sir, the soldiers from Lingyang got the news from somewhere and are heading our way."

"How many people?" Chu Chen was not surprised. With so many bandits before, there would always be some who slipped through the net.

At this moment, Lingyang was able to get the news, which confirmed Chu Chen's guess, that is, these were not bandits at all, but Lingyang did it intentionally.

Use so-called bandits to eliminate these refugees, thus concealing the fact that they are embezzling money.

Thinking of this, Chu Chen once again felt that human life was worthless. The lives of these refugees were too worthless in this era.

There are tens of thousands of people here, and they can be wiped out at will. The purpose is just money.

This is human nature, this is the rule.

"Sir, according to what the brothers who came back said, there are about 3,000 palace soldiers."

Chu Chen smiled after hearing this: "Haha, three thousand palace soldiers, isn't this just right, let's test the power of your one thousand archers!"

"Master, you are saying that we should let the thousand archers deal with the three thousand troops, but it is night time and our archers' vision is not very good, I'm afraid!"

"Haha, there are 3,000 of them. Can't you create the momentum of 6,000 or 10,000 people?"

"Our vision is not good, can those palace soldiers have night vision?"

After hearing this, Chang Shou nodded immediately, thinking that the young master was right.

The palace soldiers are also human beings, and they are much weaker than regular soldiers.

If our side was powerful enough, they would not dare to fight at night.

Moreover, he could ambush the thousand archers under the cover of night, and then give them a heavy blow at dawn tomorrow.

"Sir, I understand. I'll arrange it right away."

After saying that, Chang Shou turned and walked into the darkness.

Soon after, numerous torches were lit throughout the camp, and for a moment, the entire sky was lit up like dusk.

The refugees were arranged in the center of the camp, surrounded by young and strong men holding steel knives.

The other team of a thousand people, carrying compound bows and arrows, ran straight to both sides of the mountain and soon disappeared in the grass.
