Chapter 1060 The Dangerous Return Journey
Seeing that they agreed, Bai Song sent someone to invite over several leaders of the refugee group.
Just as they were about to discuss it, the leader of Zhen Wu's team suddenly led his men to launch an attack.
Bai Song and his group, along with the refugees, had no time to discuss the matter and could only resist first.
This counterattack was exceptionally powerful.
The refugee caravan and the white pine caravan moved forward side by side.
However, the difference in combat strength between the two sides was too great, and in less than a quarter of an hour, the refugees were forced into a series of defeats.
Many refugees who had already hidden their money took this opportunity to slip away.
Most of what's left are from people who didn't manage to grab anything earlier.
Staying is also a way of waiting for a better opportunity.
A very small number of people were exceptionally responsible and felt that since they had already made an agreement with Bai Song and his group, they could not desert their posts.
However, even if they stayed, the number of refugees would be very small.
Bai Song hadn't expected anything from them, so he cleverly mobilized his men to launch an attack.
Qin Lang and Lu Qingqing led a separate team and had already rushed to the front.
Their plan was to capture the leader first.
The reason why Zhen Wu's soldiers can still launch such a strong counterattack is because of this person in charge.
The two led their team forward, and when they reached the rear, the soldiers who saw them coming hurriedly hid to the side.
The person in charge watched as the number of soldiers resisting him dwindled, and a sense of despair crept into his heart.
At this moment, a soldier accidentally fell down the gentle slope and landed at the bottom.
The person in charge looked delighted, called to his personal guards, and jumped down the gentle slope.
Given the current situation, staying where we are will surely lead to our demise.
Jumping into the flooded area might lead to infection, but it also offers the possibility of survival.
Thinking this, the person had already slid down.
It appeared that someone had broken their arm or leg, and let out a scream.
But soon, there was no further movement.
Seeing the person in charge slide down, Lu Qingqing quickly grabbed the bow and arrows from his back.
However, before they could even take down their bow and arrows, the man had vanished from sight.
To be precise, it was pitch black below, and you couldn't see anything at all.
At this moment, Qin Lang killed the soldiers who were desperately resisting in front of him.
Seeing that there were very few soldiers still resisting on the road, he took down the two heads hanging from his waist.
Place it under the torch, illuminate your face, and then shout loudly:
"Zhen Xiaoren and Zhen Wu have been executed!"
Your leader just abandoned you and ran away for his life!
Those who surrender immediately will have their lives spared!
As soon as Qin Lang said this, some of the hidden soldiers immediately peeked out and looked in that direction.
When the two heads were discovered, they were indeed those of Zhen Xiaoren and Zhen Wu.
The last bit of fighting spirit I had left had almost completely vanished!
When Bai Song's men heard Qin Lang's shout, they all started yelling back at the top of their lungs.
The news that Zhen Xiaoren and Zhen Wu were dead was spread throughout the mountain by the shouts of the crowd.
In addition, they now have a clear advantage.
The remaining dozens of soldiers also stopped resisting.
After disarming and binding all the prisoners, Bai Song ordered his men to plant torches all over the camp.
In an instant, the entire campsite was brightly lit.
At this time, there were still about twenty or so refugees who had not left.
They stood beside the barricades, nervously watching Bai Song, who was issuing commands.
It gave the impression that if Bai Song showed any sign of backing out, they would immediately run away.
However, Bai Song couldn't care less about them at the moment.
The slope was already narrow, and the corpses lay scattered all over the ground.
It's making it a little difficult for me to walk now.
Not to mention, we'll have to transport the supplies back later!
Therefore, cleaning up the battlefield and disposing of the corpses became the immediate priority.
Seeing that the entire battlefield was under control, Qin Lang casually threw the two heads into the pile of corpses and then went forward to help the others clean up the bodies.
Fifteen minutes later, the battlefield was finally almost cleared up.
Bai Song looked at the forty or fifty soldiers bound by ropes, then at the refugees on the other side.
"Brothers over there, how about I hand over this truckload of supplies and these dozens of prisoners of war to you together?"
The refugees were somewhat stunned upon hearing this.
What are these prisoners of war for?
There's nowhere to buy or sell people on this mountain!
Keeping these guys around is just a waste of their time!
Upon reflection, the refugees realized what was happening.
The people in charge exchanged glances and stepped forward to agree.
Bai Song used a cartload of grain to send away these prisoners of war and refugees.
As for how these refugees would treat the prisoners of war afterward, that was no longer his concern.
In short, he promised not to kill those who disarmed them, and he indeed did not kill them!
Seeing the refugees leading the prisoners of war away, Bai Song's expression remained unwavering.
Previously, Zhen Wu's men, carrying so many supplies, were like easy prey on the mountain.
Now, they've become the fat sheep!
In the pitch-black night, who knows how many people are watching them!
Bringing these things back safely will not be an easy task.
He selected the livestock in the camp that were still able to move.
They also harnessed livestock to the carts loaded with valuable supplies, including grain and silver.
After everything was cleaned up, fifty people were left to guard the site.
He then led the rest of the group, driving the vehicle towards their campsite at the top of the mountain.
Because of the continuous rain, the road up the mountain was muddy and slippery.
When the supply trucks went uphill, they often slipped and had to be pulled uphill by people.
This commotion naturally drew the attention of those around them.
Lu Qingqing and Qin Lang stood guard beside the convoy, watching their surroundings warily.
Fortunately, no one has dared to rush forward and steal from this place yet.
However, the car skidded particularly badly when going over the second steep slope.
Therefore, the people who were originally protecting the convoy with knives could only pull on the rope and desperately try to pull it up.
Just as everyone was working together with all their might, a sudden burst of footsteps sounded from the left front.
"Enemy at the left front!"
Lu Qingqing sensed something was wrong and, while giving a warning, quickly moved in that direction.
As he ran, he drew his long sword.
The bloodstains that had just been on the knife were still quite visible.
Bai Song, Qin Lang, and the others also heard the commotion, but the car was about to be pulled up.
It would be a real shame to give up like this.
Bai Song called to the brothers pulling the cart and continued to pull the rope uphill.
He then led the eight or nine brothers who had just been freed up and charged towards the left front.
The moment the two sides met, the sound of clashing knives and clubs rang out.
While slashing and killing, Lu Qingqing observed the number of people in this wave of ambushes.
In the midst of the fight, she noticed that some of the men looked somewhat familiar.
"These are the soldiers who just fled!"
