Chapter 379 - 376: The Bandit's Counterattack

```

Blue skies and white clouds with a gentle breeze blowing.

Tens of thousands of soldiers moved slowly.

Gao Fei sat on his horseback, slightly tilting his head up, enjoying the sun's rays. Counting the days, he had been in the Qiu Ling Great Grassland for more than ten days now, following the army in their toilsome treks from east to west every day.

Tiresome it was, yet not the slightest danger had he encountered; whenever bandits appeared, he didn't even need to lift a finger before other soldiers rushed forward and wiped them out.

It even gave Gao Fei the illusion that he came to Qiu Ling Great Grassland not to suppress bandits but to have fun.

There was one thing that irked Gao Fei a great deal.

During the day, the temperature on the Qiu Ling Great Grassland was extremely high, but at night, it plummeted, accompanied by the cutting cold wind. The drastic change from warmth to chill was something Gao Fei found deeply uncomfortable.

"When will these days come to an end," Gao Fei sighed softly.

"Qiu Ling Great Grassland is really no place for humans," Chen San said with a wry smile: "The temperature fluctuations are extreme, resources are scarce, and poisonous insects and ferocious beasts are everywhere. Living here... requires a very strong heart." After saying that, Chen San added another sentence: "I, for one, would never choose to live here."

"I don't understand what those bandits are thinking, making a life for themselves here. Are they all made of iron or what?" Liu Qing remarked with a curl of his lip.

"It's precisely because of the harsh environment that the bandits come here," Gao Fei explained.

"What do you mean by that?" Chen San and Liu Qing didn't understand.

"Qiu Ling Great Grassland has a harsh environment, so the officials surely wouldn't want to come here," Gao Fei explained. "If the bandits hadn't gone too far, Wan Fuchang wouldn't have personally led the soldiers to encircle and suppress them."

"Let's just kill off all the bandits quicker so we can leave this godforsaken place sooner," Chen San said.

"By the way, have you guys noticed that Cao Buwei has been very well-behaved these past few days?" Liu Qing suddenly said, "Every time he sees us, he's all smiles and speaks very politely, and yesterday, he even sent over two jars of fine wine... Looks like Cao Buwei genuinely wants to make peace with us, doesn't it?"

"Hmm, should be," Chen San nodded in agreement.

"One can know a person's face but not their heart. Who knows what Cao Buwei is really thinking," Gao Fei sneered, "What if he's putting on an act?"

"Putting on an act? Surely not."

"Why would he need to put on an act? What's his motive?"

"It was just a casual remark. Don't take it seriously," Gao Fei waved his hand dismissively, "As the saying goes, time will reveal a person's heart. We will find out what kind of person Cao Buwei really is eventually."

The three of them continued their journey, conversing in hushed tones, and before they knew it, it was noon.

"Rumble..."

Suddenly, a dull thundering sound came from the front, and the ground began to tremble.

"What's happening?" Gao Fei looked up in surprise.

He saw a haze of dust in the distance, and a group of fierce-looking men on horseback charging towards them.

"Bandits! The bandits are coming!""So many of them! There must be tens of thousands, right?"

"How can there be so many bandits?"

"Form up to meet the enemy!"

"Clatter..."

```

Tens of thousands of soldiers dispersed, forming battle formations as the sudden appearance of bandits surprised them. However, they showed not a hint of fear and swiftly arrayed themselves to meet the enemy, their movements synchronized and efficient, marking them as an elite force.

"Damn!" Gao Fei couldn't help but curse, "Where did all these bandits come from!"

"We're in for a hard fight today," Chen San said with a wry smile.

"They're just a rabble, not a real threat," Liu Qing said dismissively. The soldiers, having undergone rigorous training, knew how to coordinate in combat, unleashing formidable power. A single charge would be enough to severely wound the bandits.

"Kill!"

"Kill!!!"

In the blink of an eye, the two sides collided, with the sounds of shouting and fighting rising incessantly, deafeningly.

The scene was extremely bloody and explosive.

Every moment, lives were lost.

War is the most direct way to resolve conflicts, and at the same time, it is the cruelest and most blood-soaked method.

Commander Wan Fuchang Miao Kuangfeng, armed with a Da Dao, charged to the forefront. Grasping the sword with both hands, he swung it in sweeping blows, his might unmatched. Inspired by their valiant leader, the soldiers charged ferociously, driving the bandits back step by step.

In terms of numbers, the bandits outnumbered the soldiers, but when it came to combat power, the bandits were far inferior.

"Hold steady! We must hold steady!" the bandit leader shouted. "Don't panic, everyone! We have more men than they do! As long as we hold our formation and work together, we can certainly drive the enemy back!"

"Come meet your death!" Miao Kuangfeng, brandishing his Da Dao, charged at the bandit leader. It was a classic tactic, capture the leader to throw the enemy into chaos. Seize or kill the leader, and the rest of the bandits would scatter like headless flies, easy to defeat.

"You're going too far, Miao!" the bandit leader, fearless in the face of death, charged forward wielding a spear, standing his ground against Miao Kuangfeng.

"Clang!"

The Da Dao and spear collided fiercely, sending a deafening clang through the air.

"Thud thud thud!" The bandit leader staggered back three steps, nearly falling to the ground.

Miao Kuangfeng merely swayed slightly before steadying himself. The combatants were instantly differentiated; Miao Kuangfeng was a cut above.

"Not bad! You've got some skill," Miao Kuangfeng nodded, appraising him. "It seems killing you is going to take some effort!"

"Big talk!" the bandit leader sneered coldly. "You think you can kill me? Dream on!" With that, he let out a long howl to the sky, "Buddy, why aren't you showing yourself yet? What are you waiting for!"

"Swoosh!"

A burly man sprinted from afar, one moment dozens of miles away, the next right beside the bandit leader.

"Got backup?" Miao Kuangfeng's expression tightened. The burly man opposite him was very strong, even somewhat more formidable than the bandit leader. Frowning, Miao Kuangfeng realized that one-on-two, especially with another expert in the mix, did not bode well for his chances of victory.

"Hahaha..." The bandit leader laughed loudly, "Surprised, Miao? Scared out of your wits? Hahaha... I've been hiding these days because I wasn't confident I could beat you. But now it's different, I've found help. Together we'll defeat you for sure!

Once you're dead, the rest of your soldiers will be nothing to worry about! Hahahahaha..."

"You think just because you've found help, you can definitely win against me?" Miao Kuangfeng snorted coldly. "You're underestimating me far too much!"

"Stop bluffing," the bandit leader retorted with scorn. "I know very well what you're capable of! If it were a one-on-one fight, none here would be your match... Of course, I won't engage you one-on-one. My friend and I together, we will certainly defeat you today!"

All this time, the burly man didn't utter a word and just stood there, staring at Miao Kuangfeng, unblinking and motionless, like a statue made of stone.

Miao Kuangfeng glanced at the burly man, "Who are you? Where did you come from? I can't sense even a hint of a bandit's qi from you, I'm certain, you're no bandit!"
