County Magistrate (for all citizens): I can watch ads and get unlimited resources.

Time passed,

Midnight,

As drowsiness overcame him, Han Yilin held Cheng Murou in his arms and quickly fell into a deep sleep.

This can be considered as time travel.

the first time,

Spending the night in the wild.

Fortunately,

The warmth in my arms gave me a lot of security, and I slept quite well.

only......

the next day,

morning,

Han Yilin, who was a little tired last night, was woken up by a series of hurried footsteps before he even got up.

"grown ups!"

"grown ups!"

Something's up!

Han Yilin frowned as he woke up from his sleep.

"What happened?"

The sound is there.

He was clearly getting impatient.

but,

Han Yilin knew that the person who came to bother him so early must have something to say, so he hurriedly got up, dressed, and left the tent.

outside,

A light cavalry scout is kneeling on one knee.

"grown ups."

"A caravan has been spotted ahead."

Upon hearing the word "caravan,"

Han Yilin's sleepiness immediately dissipated.

"A caravan?"

He asked instinctively, "Are you here to visit Zhatian County?"

The scout shook his head.

"It doesn't look like it."

"The route they took was not towards Zhatian County."

"Instead, they went from northwest to southeast, seemingly to bypass this abandoned county."

Upon hearing this,

Han Yilin was unhappy.

They're not here to bomb Tianxian County? Then where do they want to go?

Let's try a different approach.

Han Yilin asked again, "Is he fat or not?"

Although it wasn't explicitly stated, the scout was quite astute and immediately understood: "It's very lucrative. I took a quick look from afar and there were at least dozens of carriages, and two or three hundred guards around them."

A caravan of dozens of horse-drawn carriages?

This is definitely a prime target.

For a time,

In Han Yilin's heart,

They started having ulterior motives.

In this chaotic and war-torn situation, robbing a caravan doesn't seem too outrageous.

Furthermore,

right now,

The people of Zhatian County are living in dire straits, on the verge of starvation. Now that such a wealthy caravan is passing by, if they don't go and help them, they might not be able to sleep for days.

As for guards?

joke,

Do you really think you're leading your army out for sightseeing?

not to mention,

Cheng Murou is also there.

With a combat strength of 100, I can uproot a willow tree. Are you scared yet?

"Honey, wake up! We have a big deal coming up."

Returning to the camp,

Han Yilin's lips curled into a smile.

opposite,

Cheng Murou had clearly overheard the conversation, and her expression was somewhat strange: "My lord... isn't what we're doing a bit inappropriate?"

Han Yilin immediately straightened his face and said seriously, "What's good or bad about it? I just want to confirm whether it's safe for them to trade in the wilderness. What if they encounter bandits?"

"As the most powerful force in the vicinity, Zhatian County naturally has to maintain local security."

Speaking of which,

He could no longer maintain his composure.

"certainly."

"If the other party has too much cargo and it's inconvenient to transport it, it's reasonable for me to help them share some of the load."

Since things have come to this point,

Cheng Murou's face was filled with helplessness.

quickly,

Han Yilin then summoned Li Zehao, explained his plan, and the entire army immediately set off.

The target is not far away.

Half an hour later,

Based on clues provided by scouts, Han Yilin had already laid an ambush ahead of the caravan's route, with soldiers positioned on both sides of the road, waiting for them to walk into the encirclement.

......

Waiting

far away,

At the end of the road,

Finally, a long queue slowly moved forward.

The first thing that catches the eye is the guards who are responsible for clearing the way, with carriages following behind them.

The wheels rolled over the mud.

The carriage was covered with a thick tarpaulin.

The ropes were tied very tightly.

It's obvious that the contents inside are quite heavy.

This scene,

Han Yilin was incredibly envious, and the smile on his face became even more pronounced.

"As expected."

"You have to learn to rob. Relying solely on resource production will only yield a few coins; it's nowhere near as fast as robbery."

Over here.

They were staring at it with eyes gleaming with golden light.

suddenly,

At the road corner ahead,

A deafening battle cry suddenly erupted.

"kill!"

"Brothers, let's go!"

"Don't let a single one escape!"

In the mountains and forests,

A group of bandits dressed in disheveled clothes suddenly rushed out. There seemed to be quite a few of them, at least five or six hundred.

The weapons in their hands were of varying quality.

However, the sheer number of people involved still caused the Chamber of Commerce guards to change their expressions drastically.

"Enemy attack!"

"Escort the vehicle!"

"Quickly, protect the young lady!"

The caravan, which had been moving steadily forward, suddenly descended into chaos.

The horses neighed in fright, the coachman hurriedly tightened the reins, and the guards quickly drew their swords and formed a protective circle around the carriage.

have to say,

The caravan's guards reacted relatively quickly.

Faced with the sudden attack,

It did not collapse immediately.

Instead, they formed an organized and orderly encirclement and used horse-drawn carriages to form a formation to defend against the bandits' siege.

however,

Such a scene,

But this made Han Yilin's smile freeze.

"Damn it, I've got my eye on a fat sheep, and someone dares to try and steal it from me?"

This scene,

It has already been clearly explained.

This band of mountain bandits,

Having set his sights on this lucrative opportunity, Han Yilin's act of cutting in line immediately ignited his anger.

"Don't these people even know what 'first come, first served' means?"

"I've been waiting here for ages, and you just come up here trying to steal my kills, huh?"

Li Zehao asked in a low voice, "Sir, should we take action?"

Han Yilin immediately glared at him.

"nonsense!"

"They dare to steal the fat sheep I've set my sights on?"

finished,

He suddenly stood up.

He drew his long sword directly from his waist.

"All troops, listen to my command!"

"The cavalry blocked the way from the front and rear, while the infantry attacked from the front."

The order was issued.

Han Yilin looked at Cheng Murou: "Murou, we're counting on you for the front line."

Despite a million reasons not to,

But since things had already come to this point, Cheng Murou naturally couldn't refuse. Besides, the incident had happened so suddenly, so taking action now would be considered helping.

at this time,

The cavalry had already set off.

Two hundred cavalrymen split into two groups and quickly blocked the front and rear of the battlefield. At this time, Cheng Murou led the infantry and launched an attack from the front.

A sudden change,

Let those mountain bandits,

Before they could even react, the already chaotic formation was instantly torn apart.

Especially...

In front of the formation,

Cheng Murou once again swung the tree trunk, like a human meat grinder, clearing a large open space on the battlefield in a few swings.

the other side,

Li Zehao took the lead.

Wielding a halberd,

Every sweep,

They could take the lives of several bandits.

The enormous disparity in military strength between the two sides was on full display at this moment.

not to mention,

Those soldiers,

They were completely outmatched by the bandits, both in terms of attributes and weapons.

It was almost like autumn leaves being swept away by the wind.

The bandit group,

They had already been killed and scattered.

"Run! Run!"

"Help!"

"I surrender, sir, I surrender! Please don't kill me, I was forced into this."

"..."

The formation was broken.

The remaining bandits either fled or surrendered.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the bandits, numbering five or six hundred, had been wiped out.

Such terrifying combat power,

The caravan guards were left somewhat bewildered.

original,

Encountering bandits,

They thought there would be a fierce battle, but who would have thought that an army would suddenly appear and cut them down like vegetables?

the whole process,

They were so fast that they didn't even have time to react.

At this time,

Seeing the battle end,

Han Yilin arrived at the front, and Li Zehao immediately stepped forward to ask, "Sir, the bandits have been dealt with. What should we do with this caravan?"
