The female prisoner was fierce

Upon receiving the order, most of the women soldiers immediately responded loudly and got to work.

Su Wanruo, the logistics captain, has come in very handy.

The distribution of dry rations was carried out in a tense but orderly manner.

Chu Yiran then took out small packets of prepared hemostatic medicine.

Very few; she and Chun Ya, along with the female prisoners who had brought medical supplies, found them nearby early in the morning.

It's only enough for a dozen or so people, but it's better than nothing.

The 11 villagers on Li Tiezhu's side were also nervously preparing.

The process was swift; everything was prepared in just over the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, as Xiao Jianyang gave the order:

"Set off!!"

Holding a pulley crossbow, he led his team towards the northwest.

"yes!!"

Behind them, the women soldiers and 11 villagers quickly followed.

Excluding medical and logistical supplies, the total number of women soldiers was only about seventy.

It consisted of 4 scouts, 1 reserve scout, 1 guard scout, and several scouts.

The quality of an army is more important than its quantity.

People like Chun Ya, Su Wanruo, and Chu Yiran are still a bit unsteady on their feet, so they can make the most of their talents by being placed in the logistics department.

In addition, there is Li Tiezhu's side, which is composed of archers selected from various units.

Finally, there were the 10 male villagers. Xiao Jianyang also incorporated them into the guard unit, responsible for their use in critical moments.

All together, the team consisted of more than eighty people.

Splash splash~~~

They walked quickly, leaving deep footprints in the snow.

The sky above was still shrouded in mist.

Suddenly, the bone-chilling wind returned, and the blizzard raged down, adding even more chill to the already intense killing intent of the women's army.

woohoo~~~

Accompanied by strong winds, they traveled for about a mile before a familiar figure appeared ahead.

It was Xiaoxing.

Upon seeing Xiao Jianyang, the other party's face lit up with joy, and he immediately ran up to him.

"How is the situation?"

Xiao Jianyang got straight to the point, his tone calm.

"Reporting to Lord Xiao."

Xiaoxing immediately clasped her hands in a fist salute and replied:

"The other party is right behind us, walking this way. They haven't noticed any changes here yet."

A chilling glint flashed in Xiao Jianyang's eyes:

"keep going."

"yes!"

The women's team and the male villagers immediately obeyed the order, and the group set off again.

They met in less than the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea.

Meanwhile, six bandits were still leisurely walking towards them:

"Guys, didn't the boss order us to find the killer of the young lady at all costs? Are we really okay if we ignore this?"

"Don't worry, someone else is in charge of that. We just need to come to the village to collect the grain and have some fun while we're at it."

"Tsk tsk... Just thinking about those widows in Li Family Village makes my mouth water. This time..."

Before he could finish speaking, he saw blurry figures appearing several hundred meters ahead in the blizzard.

"What the hell is this?"

Puzzled, I looked closer.

The distance has narrowed, and now we can see things clearly.

The main purpose is to clearly see the gleaming official's knife and the murderous intent that has become tangible.

Especially upon seeing Xiao Jianyang, the leader, the six bandits suddenly raised their large machetes and threatened him through gritted teeth:

"Who are you people, daring to block the way of our Qinglong Mountain? You're tired of living, aren't you?"

Xiao Jianyang remained expressionless, but instead gave a wink to the four guerrilla squad leaders and said, word by word:

"Follow my training plan. This is your first battle. It's not many, but you must give it your all."

The four female squad leaders gripped their wooden spears tightly and nodded in unison:

"Understood, Lord Xiao."

Then, steeling his resolve, he spoke in a high-pitched and spirited tone:

"Sisters!"

"I don't care if you were young ladies or maids before, for the sake of the blood feud we bear, kill them all!!"

There was still a hint of struggle in the eyes of the more than forty female guerrilla prisoners.

But upon hearing the words "blood feud" and recalling the tragedy of the capital's upheaval, he immediately decided to risk everything:

"kill!!"

"kill!!"

The battle cries were deafening, and then, led by their respective squad leaders, they gripped their wooden spears and charged fiercely at the six bandits.

It must be their first time killing someone, and it must be a woman killing a vicious male bandit.

The first lesson is very necessary.

The six bandits were completely dumbfounded:

"Damn it, you're bullying the few because you have more people, huh? No sportsmanship at all!!"

"Brothers, kill!!"

He grabbed a large machete and prepared to fight.

However, the difference in numbers was too great, and the female prisoners' army used spears.

An inch longer means an inch stronger, and they gained a lot of advantages.

If they both stab each other, they can both kill the other.

Therefore, the outcome was without any suspense. The six bandits had at least twenty or thirty bloody holes pierced all over their bodies, and their bodies were almost torn apart.

Dead beyond dead.

When it was their first time killing someone with their own hands, some of the more than forty female soldiers in the Women's Army had blank stares, some had painful expressions, and some burst into tears on the spot.

Xiao Jianyang witnessed the entire process.

His gaze repeatedly fell on one of the female squad leaders.

The team she led had the most orderly formation of the four.

At the same time, she was also the most ruthless, personally stabbing two bandits in the throat with a wooden spear.

Walk up to her, look at her, and ask:

"What's your name?"

The female squad leader in front of him raised her head, but immediately lowered it again, clasping her hands in a fist salute:

"Reporting to Lord Xiao, my name is Defang."

Xiao Jianyang continued to ask:

"Can you read?"

Defang nodded:

"Yes, I know. My father was a craftsman for the imperial court, and I learned some skills from him."

Xiao Jianyang:

"Alright, when you have time in the future, you can learn more martial arts and military strategy from Sergeant Lin. I will make arrangements for you in the future."

He never hesitated to show favoritism towards talented individuals.

Faced with Xiao Jianyang's serious and sincere attitude, Defang instinctively wanted to refuse, but seeing that he was serious and sincere, she could only nod in agreement.

"Yes, sir. Defang will do his best to live up to Lord Xiao's expectations."

Xiao Jianyang nodded slightly, no longer looking at her, but instead turning to the dozens of female soldiers in front of him, their hands dripping with blood, and said loudly:

"This is just the beginning, proving that you are qualified to go to the battlefield. The bloodier battles are yet to come."

"Everyone, return to your positions immediately and depart for Qinglong Mountain!!"

Upon hearing this, the female soldiers immediately returned to their ranks. Although their hands were still covered in blood, their mindset was completely different.

After all, there is a difference between someone who has killed someone and someone who hasn't!

On Xiao Jianyang's side.

He ordered his men to clean up the battlefield, and six steel swords were first given to the personal guards, and then to each squad leader.

The clothes were so badly punctured that they were unwearable, so I had to give them up.

Then, at a command, they set off again towards Qinglong Mountain.

The speed is faster than before.

The attack must be launched before the mountain bandits notice, in order to achieve the effect of a surprise attack.
