I wield power with my innate talents, and forge the Heavenly Court.

Chapter 30: Raid and Capture, Post-War Summary
Looking at the soldiers who silently opened the gate, Wu Ping felt that something was off.

However, at this moment, Wu Ping was exhausted and his mind was filled with thoughts of the Dynasty army, revenge, and the need to withdraw his troops as soon as possible. He didn't have the energy to think about anything else and just hurriedly gave orders to his servants and attendants behind him.

"Quickly gather everyone together. The rebel army is powerful. I must return to the county town to report the intelligence."

"Yes!"

His attendant responded and left the ranks to gather the remaining soldiers.

After returning to the central command tent, Wu Ping finally relaxed completely, plopped down in the main seat, and waited for the soldiers to assemble.

A moment later, Wu Ping heard footsteps coming from outside the tent.

Unconsciously, Wu Ping forced a smile. At least there were still some people in the military camp, so it couldn't be considered a complete failure.

However, just as this thought arose in his mind, a loud shout came from outside the tent.

"stop!"

"The central command camp must not be approached casually."

"bass!"

"What are you going to do?"

"laugh!"

"Pfft!"

"Ah~!"

Hearing the commotion outside, Wu Ping was startled. He quickly reached for his goose-feather saber at his waist and stealthily crept towards the tent door.

"laugh!"

"Hey!"

However, before Wu Ping could get close, a cold glint suddenly shot out from the tent door, and with a flash of light, the curtain was violently torn open.

"This is."

Upon seeing this, Wu Ping's expression changed drastically. He immediately retreated several steps, his face grim as he watched several burly men wielding long swords stride in.

"W-who are you?"

"Haha, what do you think?"

The burly man holding the goose-feather saber looked at him mockingly and asked with a loud laugh.

"You, you are from the Thief Chieftain Dynasty?"

Looking at the burly man at the head, Wu Ping's lips twitched, and he said with an ugly expression.

"Hehe, I'm not the leader, I'm Wang Dahu, the company commander of the first company under the leader."

Since there is no need for direct combat, they only need to lead Wu Ping and his men in circles in the mountains, occasionally launching surprise attacks and ambushes.

So later, the dynasty realized that it didn't need so many people at all.

Moreover, the dynasty later discovered that the number of government troops sent to the mountains to suppress the rebellion was actually quite small, only about four hundred, which was less than their own numbers.

If that's the case, how could the dynasty have left so many people idle when Wuping was besieging the mountains?
After having his men investigate and find out that there were only a little over a hundred people left in the camp, Wang Chao immediately ordered Wang Dahu, Li Shu, and others to seize the camp.

Or rather, when they saw three or four hundred people rushing towards them, the hundred or so men in the camp surrendered without even putting up a fight.

The government forcibly conscripted men and even made them bring their own food. Why would they risk their lives?
Therefore, upon seeing that Wang Dahu and his group outnumbered them, they naturally surrendered without hesitation.

Afterwards, apart from leaving some people to guard the area, the rest of them returned to the mountains and forests, where they laid an ambush on the narrow mountain path and completely defeated Wu Ping and his men.

Until now, Wu Ping and the others have returned to the military camp.

At this moment, Wu Ping also began to realize what was happening.

Why did he feel that the guards at the gate were acting strangely when he returned to the military camp?

The guard was too silent and too efficient.

It should be noted that the so-called officers and soldiers he led were all newly recruited militiamen who had only been trained for about ten days.

Moreover, the training was done in a perfunctory and half-hearted manner, so you can imagine how undisciplined they were.

However, those guards were even more disciplined than his personal servants and attendants, and they were by no means soldiers left behind.

This is probably the benefit of military training in later generations; the existing military system may be outdated.

However, that kind of military training is absolutely capable of producing an army that obeys orders without question.

Even if it was only a little over ten days of training, and only basic training.

However, when they are truly engaged in training, they have already achieved a certain level of discipline and obedience.

There is already a noticeable gap between them and ordinary militia members who haven't received much training.

If Wu Ping hadn't been preoccupied with something at the time, he might have actually discovered it.

Of course, due to time constraints, they could only maintain a certain level of discipline when there was no fighting.

As for combat discipline, fighting will, and so on, those require long-term training, repeated battles, and constant ideological guidance, so we don't need to consider them for now.

Back to the present, after Wu Ping finally realized what was happening, Wang Dahu gradually suppressed his smile and looked at Wu Ping coldly.

"Will you come with us? The chief is waiting."

"You, you all."

Wu Ping's eyes twitched. If he went with them, his fate would probably not be good.
just
Wu Ping looked around, but it seemed there was no chance of escape.

"Hehe, I advise you not to play those little tricks."

otherwise
hey-hey"

Wang Dahu tossed the goose-feather saber in his hand and gave a sinister, malicious smile.

"Hello, I'll go with you!"

"Choke!"

Looking at Wang Dahu and the others, Wu Ping's face was ashen. In the end, he could only nod with difficulty and throw the goose-feather knife in his hand to the ground.

As the saying goes, it's better to live a miserable life than to die a good death. Before you're really facing death, you always have a bit of wishful thinking.

And
Wu Ping pondered to himself.

Since the bandit leader wants to see me, he shouldn't kill me, right? Besides, to these bandits, I'm practically an official; they should have some reservations, right?

After all, killing oneself would truly be tantamount to murdering an official and rebelling.

Judging from the appearance of these bandits, they probably don't intend to rebel, so they probably won't kill me, right?

With a thousand thoughts swirling in his mind, Wu Ping tried various ways to comfort and reassure himself. His complexion gradually improved, even taking on a heroic air, and he finally took the initiative to speak.

"Let's go!"

"Hmm~?"

Wang Dahu and the others looked at Wu Ping in surprise, not understanding how he could have changed so much in the blink of an eye.

However, he didn't delve into it further; he just wanted to obediently follow along to see the leader.

When they returned to the mountains, it was already past midnight.

Wang Chao did not go to see Wu Ping immediately, but instead had him placed under guard.

He has a lot of things to take care of, so he doesn't have time to see him right now.

"Chief, we captured a total of 221 people this time. Adding the 110 soldiers left in the camp, that makes a total of 331 people."
Twelve sets of leather armor, one hundred and twenty swords, three hundred and fifty-six wooden spears, fifty bows and arrows, and eighty bushels of grain.
A resounding victory! A resounding victory!

Wang Sanshun reported the results of the battle with a joyful expression.

Upon hearing this, Wang Dahu and the others were all overjoyed and excited.

"Haha, these soldiers aren't anything special, are they? They look quite weak to me."

"Haha, if all the officers and soldiers were like this, I think we could just take over Weiyuan County like Wang Er and his men."

"Hehe, when the leader becomes emperor, we'll all be civil and military officials, dukes, marquises, and earls."

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up instantly, and they all nodded in agreement.

"Haha, that's right, that's right."

Seeing everyone's expressions, Wang Chao simply smiled and remained silent.

After everyone had gradually calmed down, Wang Chao spoke in a deep voice:
"Don't be too careless. You've already learned some general information from those captured officers and soldiers."

They were just ordinary farmers before, no different from us? They were even less trained than us.

If it were a regular army, or even a border army, the situation would probably be reversed.

Upon hearing Wang Chao's words, the smiles on everyone's faces quickly vanished, and they fell silent.

So much time has passed, they naturally have a general idea of ​​the situation of those officers and soldiers. Just over ten days ago, they were just ordinary farmers.

After glancing at everyone, Wang Chao continued:

"Sam-soon, how badly are we injured?"

"This"

Wang Sanshun's expression hardened.

"Although we spent most of our time leading those officers and soldiers in circles, occasionally carrying out ambushes and ambushes."

However, we still suffered twelve deaths, fifteen serious injuries, and over a hundred minor injuries.
However, the number of officers and soldiers who died was much higher, totaling 138. Fifty-six were seriously wounded, and the rest were slightly injured.
Apart from the officers and soldiers who remained at the camp, everyone else was injured to varying degrees.

"Ok!"

Wang Chao nodded sadly and looked at everyone again, whose faces were also filled with grief.

Although the data comparison shows a significant victory.

However, the twelve brothers who died were all from the same village and fellow villagers, and even very familiar people, so they naturally couldn't feel good about it.

Okay, let's summarize the shortcomings this time.

A moment later, Wang Chao spoke, breaking the somber and sorrowful atmosphere around them.

"Yeah, the formation was fine at first, but it all fell apart right before the battle."

After a moment's thought, Wang Dahu was the first to point out their current shortcomings.

"That's right. Once the fighting starts, everyone forgets their orders, and they don't retreat in time. That's how many brothers died."

"Ultimately, it comes down to insufficient training. When you panic, you forget everything you've been training on and all the commands you've been given."

"Ok!"

Wang Chao nodded.

"Therefore, we need to train even harder in the future."
Ideally, we should find some training methods, or seek out people who understand military training, and then summarize them into more suitable training methods.”

Everyone nodded in unison, their faces full of agreement.

"Uh-huh!"

"."

The post-battle debriefing took almost an hour, until 2:30 AM, when everyone finally dispersed.

The next morning, Wang Chao and the others regrouped, and only then did he have someone bring Wu Ping to them.

After spending a night in fear and trepidation, the initial surge of energy that Wu Ping had felt the day before had long since vanished.

Upon meeting the dynasty, Wu Ping immediately bowed deeply without saying a word.

"Wu Ping greets Chief Wang."

After looking him up and down for a while, Wang Chao finally said calmly:
"Get up!"

"Thank you, Chief Wang!"

Wu Ping, drenched in cold sweat, bowed and thanked them again before straightening up, his mind in turmoil.

This bandit leader, a dynasty, is truly no ordinary man.

Just a moment ago, Wu Ping felt an immense pressure bearing down on him, making it hard for him to breathe.

For a moment, he even thought that the person sitting on it was not an ordinary person, but a legendary god or Buddha.

For a moment, Wu Ping did not dare to face the dynasty directly. Even when he straightened up, he bowed his head slightly, waiting tremblingly for the dynasty's judgment.

I humbly request that you all vote for me and follow along!
Xinghuo expresses his sincere gratitude!
