Author's Note: First, let me explain why I'm putting this here. I think many people will watch pirated versions, and I want to say that if you really don't have any financial means, I understand.
But please understand that you are my bread and butter. I cannot survive without your support, because people need to eat to live. I am just an ordinary person, and my family is not wealthy. The book's performance is not good, and the editor doesn't value it. Since the results are already like this, I hope you can support me and give me a bite to eat. Even half a pack of spicy snacks would be helpful. It would be a great help to me, and I will definitely update more often to repay you!
With the addition of these two hundred soldiers, Zhao Fu's forces suddenly expanded to six hundred men. At first, Sun Xiaowei was somewhat skeptical that Zhao Fu, with such a small force, could defeat Liu Subai and retake Willow Mountain Town.
However, there was no other way. Zhao Fu was their only hope. If they didn't put up a fight, Willow Mountain Town would definitely belong to Zhang Hong. Time was short now, and most of the residents were loyal to the Liu Family. Once time had passed, these people would accept Zhang Hong, and it would be almost impossible to take back Willow Mountain Town then.
At the same time, Zhao Fu briefly explained his plan, which gave them more confidence and made them agree with Zhao Fu method!
Besides this team, there are two other patrol teams, but Zhang Hong has planted people in these two teams, which need to be dealt with specially.
The three teams patrolled in different directions, while the other two teams patrolled on the other side. Zhao Fu noticed that it was getting late, and Sun Xiaowei understood, so they suggested splitting into two teams!
One team, led by Sun Xiaowei, subdued another patrol team and killed the people Zhang Hong had planted there, while Zhao Fu was responsible for dealing with the other team.
Zhao Fu agreed with the plan, and the two teams then separated again.
On the other side of Willow Mountain Town, a dozen or so arrogant soldiers swaggered forward, followed by a group of disheartened soldiers.
"Can't you guys hurry up?! I, the captain, want to get back as soon as possible and hug my little darling!" At this moment, the leader in front turned around and looked at the group behind him, shouting in dissatisfaction.
The soldiers behind him had a hint of anger in their eyes. The dozen or so men in front of them had gained their positions by siding with Zhang Hong, and they not only bossed them around but also made them do this and that while the soldiers rested and played on the side. Although they were resentful, they still held back their anger.
Sudden!
Another group of figures rushed out from one side, instantly surrounding the group. This startled the patrol team. The man who had been leading the group looked around in panic and shouted, "We're from Willow Mountain Town! You'd better get out of here!"
"Hmph! Of course I know you're from Willow Mountain Town."
A soft snort rang out from the side. Everyone looked and saw it was Liu Subai. The dozen or so people in front were stunned, but those behind were overjoyed. "Miss Liu, what are you doing here?"
Liu Subai stepped forward and repeated what she had said to Sun Xiaowei.
A dozen or so men who had pledged allegiance to Zhang Hong shouted, "Miss Liu has been bewitched! Mayor Zhang wouldn't do such a thing! Quick! Hold these people off, we'll go back and report this to Mayor Zhang!"
The dozen or so men clearly sensed something was wrong and wanted the others to hold off Zhao Fu and his group so they could escape, but no one listened to them.
"Alright! Miss, we're willing to help you reclaim Willow Mountain Town. We've received many favors from Mayor Liu in the past."
At this moment, the soldiers pondered for a while before making a decision.
Upon hearing their words, the dozen or so men in front panicked and immediately tried to flee, but the bandits surrounding them rushed forward and killed them in a few swift moves. However, they spared one of them, intending to use him for something else.
After subduing this team, Zhao Fu then reunited with Sun Xiaowei. Since each team had approximately 200 members, Zhao Fu's team had now expanded to a thousand.
At this time, darkness fell, and small stars began to appear in the sky; it was another moonless night.
After another detailed discussion of tactics, the bandits who had previously been killed and defected to Zhang Hong were replaced by other bandits who would sneak into Willow Mountain Town in batches under the cover of night.
This wasn't too difficult, because Zhang Hong's men were providing cover, which was why some had been left alive earlier. According to Zhao Fu's plan, Sun Xiaowei temporarily let the soldiers go back to eat and drink well, and then go back to sleep to recover from their exhaustion.
At this time, Willow Mountain Town seemed unchanged as usual, but undercurrents were beginning to stir.
Zhao Fu also told the group outside Willow Mountain Town to rest and recuperate while waiting for the right opportunity.
Time passed slowly, night deepened, and before we knew it, it was midnight. Everything around us quieted down, and the entire Willow Mountain Town fell into a deep sleep.
The night wind howled, and the clouds drifting in from the horizon obscured the faint starlight, making the light somewhat dim!
The time had come, Sun Xiaowei in Willow Mountain Town also began to take action. He changed into his best equipment and came to the vicinity of a city wall. He first had most of the soldiers hide, and then Sun Xiaowei led a few people toward the city wall.
The garrison commander, who was originally guarding the city gate, looked at Sun Xiaowei walking towards them with a puzzled expression. He then stopped them and said, " Sun Xiaowei! What brings you here so late?"
Sun Xiaowei put on a smiling face, even somewhat ingratiatingly, and said, "Brother Li! I've been thinking a lot lately, and I really can't stand this treatment anymore. I was thinking of seeking refuge with Mayor Zhang, but I was too assertive before, and I'm afraid Mayor Zhang won't like it. I see that the mayor likes Brother Li a lot, so I'd appreciate your help."
Immediately, Sun Xiaowei took out a money bag full of gold coins and handed it to the guard. The guard took it and was delighted. "Actually, Sun Xiaowei is quite capable, but he's a die-hard who refuses to surrender. If he helps Sun Xiaowei surrender, he can also receive a reward from Zhang Hong."
"No problem! I'll put in a good word for you with Mayor Zhang."
The garrison commander agreed to Sun Xiaowei's request with a smile, but the next moment, a chill ran down his spine and his hair stood on end.
"Puff!"
A sharp dagger pierced the guard's chest. The guard looked stunned, never expecting that Sun Xiaowei would kill him.
The men behind Sun Xiaowei also rushed forward and killed several unsuspecting soldiers by surprise. They dragged the bodies to a hidden corner, and the soldiers hidden nearby rushed out and climbed the city wall, killing the unsuspecting guards.
Having gained control of everything, Sun Xiaowei lit three torches on the city wall mountain as a signal of success and ordered the city gates to be opened.
Time is of the essence!
Zhao Fu, who had been hiding near Willow Mountain Town, immediately appeared with his men to meet up with Sun Xiaowei. Then, a thousand men stormed towards the town magistrate's mansion.
However, Zhang Hong, as the town mayor, had just received a system notification and was jolted awake from his sleep. He then loudly issued the order.
Suddenly, the once slumbering Willow Mountain Town awoke, even descending into chaos, with large numbers of soldiers gathering at the town magistrate's residence.
Zhao Fu also noticed the unusual activity and immediately ordered Sun Xiaowei to execute the next plan.
Instantly!
The sounds of gongs and drums rang out everywhere, accompanied by the announcement: " Zhang Hong killed Mayor Liu, tried to kill Old Lady Liu, raped Miss Liu, and even assaulted the young Master Liu! Now Miss Liu is leading her people to retake Willow Mountain Town. Please help us eliminate that villain Zhang Hong!"
