The bandits immediately charged forward with loud howls.
When Jiang Sanlang saw their large numbers, around one to two hundred, and his side only had several dozen, he knew they were outnumbered and promptly led his men to retreat.
He naturally couldn't lead the bandits to South Slope, and North Mountain wasn't an option either, as many villagers were hiding there. The crowd could only flee east.
A portion of the bandits pursued them, while the rest ransacked houses one by one.
However, the villagers had already taken all their food and valuables with them, leaving only those items too bulky to move.
Some households had left a small amount of grain, but the quantity was minimal.
The bandit leader took this in stride. Not many big scores were met on their robbing sprees, unless they went to market towns or county cities.
Villages like this were mostly filled with the poor, their houses run-down and dilapidated. Finding a family with several dozens of pounds of grain was rare.
