Rebirth of Star General

Chapter 81 Robbery

"Robbery?" Jiang Jiao stammered, "What, what robbery?"

"We have already arrived here first, and the time and the place are right, moreover everyone is in fine condition. Wouldn't we fail/disappoint God if we didn't rob?" She called Wang Ba, "Brother Wang, you can do your job this time. Do you remember the rules?"

Wang Ba was a little angry, but also a little complacent, only said, "Of course I know!"

"Then let's go and step onboard first."

"What does it mean to step onboard?" Jiang Jiao was confused.

"I know this," Huang Xiong explained to him, "Bandits slang, used before exploring/scouting the surroundings in advance."

Wang Ba snorted and said to He Yan, "You know the slangs?"

"I only know this one sentence." He Yan said, "If you all have no objections, how about I make the arrangements?"

All of them looked at her.

"The terrain is high here, and we have arrived early. So I think we should wait for other teams to come here, they will be tired and would want to relax. We just need to wait in ambush here and grab their flags. There are five of us, one of us needs to go up the tree to survey the situation, and the rest of us should lay in ambush here. The person climbing the tree is me," He Yan pointed to herself, "I'll be surveying on the tree."

"When the people will arrive, Brother Wang should be in front to bring the people into the formation. Brother Jiang Jiao and Shi, one of you is holding a long stick, and the other is holding a spear. You both should spread around left and right. Uncle Huang should be behind in the formation, so we can get them surrounded in the middle. After that, I will come down from the tree, and with my nine-section whip, I can take the opportunity to scoop their flag away."

Everyone suddenly realized. No wonder that He Yan chose a nine-section whip. As the situation would be really chaotic, and there might not be a chance to get close, but as long as the whip was rolled from a distance, the flag could be rolled over/snatched.

"Why should I be a bait?" Wang Ba was dissatisfied, "I can also lead the battle."

"Because you are the strongest," He Yan said without changing her expression. "If the rest of us take the flag to draw people, others would doubt, but if it's you, it would be different. You are already very good among recruits. It's reasonable, if you are holding the flag, as the best one among the group would protect the flag, so it would be preferable if you hold it."

Jiang Jiao wanted to laugh a little but finally held back. Shi and Huang Xiong lowered their heads in silence. Only Wang Ba was deeply impressed, and his dissatisfaction with He Yan's arrangement suddenly disappeared.

"But can this arrangement really work?" Jiang Jiao was a little skeptical, "What if they are better than us?"

"Don't worry, we have been here first. We have rested longer than them and are full of energy. Moreover, if they are outflanked by our formation, it would confuse them to defend or attack. Moreover, our purpose is not to fight with them, but to fight for the flag."

"The book of war/military book says: Those who are on the battlefield first and confront the enemy are smart, and those who are on the battlefield later are laborious. Therefore, those who are good at war will lead the enemy to the battlefield, not to the people."

Of the first five people here, only Jiang Jiao and He Yan have read the book. The others hadn't reacted yet, but Jiang Jiao looked at He Yan, and asked with a complicated expression, "Have you read the military books?"

"I know a little." He Yan replied.

Huang Xiong looked at Jiang Jiao, then at He Yan, and sighed, "I remember you once said that you had read "The Arm records", and now you are saying that you have read military books. You are so capable, you will surely be very famous one day, not in the same place as us ."
