Mu Yangling called the 54 chosen people to her side. The 18 broadswords and 10 sabers obtained after killing the Hus were distributed. The remaining people held kitchen knives, hoes, sticks, and other tools that they deemed suitable.
Mu Yangling said in a deep voice, "When we fight the enemies later, you can take the opportunity to seize their weapons. For now, make do. Remember, our mission is not to kill, but to lure the enemy away or delay them. Try your best to stay alive."
Liu Xuan said in a low voice, "Isn't this still running for one's life?"
"Yes, but you have to listen to my orders. No one is allowed to escape in a disorderly manner." Mu Yangling turned around and said to Liu He, "Village Chief, you still have to choose five to six people to report to the county. There are many villages along the way, and we aren't just saving people from our village. I wonder how the town is doing."
