So, the two of them had been schemed against and given up?
Although they were all bandits, they had been fighting amongst themselves for territory, people, and grains in the past few years. However, once they encountered soldiers, they would at least communicate with each other. Now, they were surrounded but no one had informed them. They even let their troops be expended on Qi Haoran's 3,000 soldiers.
Lin Man was only angry, but Liu Dahei had deeper considerations. For example, was the news that the Imperial Court was surrounding them true or false? Or was it possible that they had been schemed against when they came to surround Qi Haoran?
Could it be that, like Qi Haoran, they had been abandoned by their companions?
Or did one of them collude with the Imperial Court to slowly exhaust them before wiping them out in one fell swoop?
