The brontosaurus stretched out his head to take a look.
King Kong Village.
"What kind of place is this? Your Majesty must have just painted it. It sounds like a fake village." He said.
Ren Ning nodded: "It's just a cottage. There are cottage bandits on it. There are probably a lot of them. Bring more people to push it away and try to bring back as many people as possible."
“Remember, it’s important for both men and women, old and young.”
As he spoke, he sighed.
Based on the situation when I first entered the mountain a few days ago, it was estimated that there were not many elderly people and children in Jingang Village.
"Yes!" Thunder Dragon responded, but couldn't help but asked blankly: "Sir, what do we want these bandits to do?"
Although they now have a lot of extra meat in their hands, they won't be able to eat it for long. They can't waste it on a group of robbers and bandits.
Ren Ning looked at him deeply.
"This is the last time I will answer your question."
"You are a soldier, and it is your duty to obey orders. I don't want to hear you ask the reason for everything in the future. Do you understand?"
Thunder Dragon's heart skipped a beat and he immediately reacted. He straightened up and said, "I understand!"
Ren Ning nodded with satisfaction.
"We only have more than 2,500 people. The Blood Moon tribe in front of us has at least 15,000, which is six or seven times our number. There is a huge difference in the number of people between the two sides, and it is not easy to defeat them. Therefore, we need manpower."
If the bandits and robbers in Jingang Village can occupy one side, they are somewhat capable. If you pull these people over, even if you can't go to the battlefield, you can at least shout in the mountains and forests to build up your momentum.
Momentum is very important when fighting.
"As for those who stab their heads, don't be merciful."
Thunder Dragon understood and immediately summoned his subordinates to go down the mountain.
Huang Ming had a worried expression on his face: "General, I heard that King Kong Stronghold is in a dangerous terrain and it should be difficult to attack."
If the Thunder Dragon fails to knock down the stronghold but instead lets in its few subordinates, then the gain will outweigh the loss.
"No." Ren Ning explained the situation he encountered when entering the mountain.
Dingxi County is now full of hungry people and mourning people everywhere.
As long as there is food to eat, maybe the people in King Kong Village will follow them without even having to take action.
If the village owners objected, the hungry bandits might even kill the village owners.
boom!
"Damn it!" Huang Ming punched the table hard.
"It's all the blame on those so-called nobles who only know how to enclose the land but never care about the livelihood of the people. In the end, the people suffered disaster and foreign enemies invaded, but they still stayed happily in Xingji City."
Ren Ning gave him a strange look and said, "Don't forget, your Huang family is also one of these people."
Huang Ming was startled and became speechless.
"Come on." Ren Ning patted him on the shoulder comfortingly, "Since we can't stand it and are unwilling to accept it, we must work together to change the world. Let the world be peaceful and the people be healthy."
Huang Ming brushed the ground and stood at attention: "I am willing to listen to the general's orders to calm the world as soon as possible, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment from now on..."
On the post road at the foot of the mountain, Thunder Dragon led the troops and strode eastward.
Since Ren Ning arrived at the camp, he was present for both small wins. In other words, he played a huge role in both of them.
Lei Long himself led the bandit suppression this time, and neither Ren Ning nor Lei Er came with him.
Thunder Dragon dare not be rude.
He silently looked back towards the mountain.
Although it is not clear who this Master Ning is, his archery skills and eyesight are simply divine, and he is even proficient in teleportation from thousands of miles away.
In comparison, Brontosaurus felt like he was worthless.
Therefore, he had to win the battle against bandits no matter what, so as not to lose his reputation as a soldier of Dingxi County.
The vast Luoxia Mountain is deserted for hundreds of miles.
Fortunately, with the detailed guidance route drawn by Lei Er in advance, the Thunder Dragon found the place easily.
But despite this, when he led people to sneak outside Jingang Village, it was already the afternoon of the third day after leaving the camp.
Most of the people coming and going in Jingang Village are young and middle-aged men and women with yellow faces and thin muscles. As for the elderly and children, they are almost invisible.
"Qian Chang, all the sentries along the way have been removed." A soldier sneaked over: "The sentries were all starving to death. The brothers restrained them without any effort."
"Now the gate to King Kong Village has been opened. How about letting the brothers rush up together to finish the job?"
The brontosaurus sighed silently.
Although he had been quarreling with Blood Moon Yingxiang before, seeing that the army was short of food and the food from the Ministry of War had not been delivered, he understood that the situation in Laigu County might not be good.
Now that he saw the defense of Jingang Village, he was even more sure of his idea.
The quelling army should still be far away.
From afar, the bandits don't have to worry about the court sending troops to suppress the bandits.
But this just saved him the trouble.
He raised his head and looked at the sky.
"Listen to my whistle, everyone, come on together!" The Thunder Dragon lowered his hands heavily.
Then he quickly added, "If the bandits don't resist, don't kill them."
The soldier took the order and left.
The battle started quickly and ended quickly.
The sun was setting in the west, and the bandits with empty stomachs were about to go to bed.
As soon as they heard the noise outside, each one of them was restrained by the swarming Dingxi County soldiers before they could react, and they were pushed into the small square in the middle of the village in disheveled clothes.
"Report! There are 806 people in King Kong Village, excluding the 18 people who were killed because of resistance. There are 610 other men and 180 women. They are all here."
Um!
Nearly 800 people, not too many, but definitely a lot.
Thunder Dragon nodded with satisfaction, "Let the brothers cook first."
Touching his chin, which had grown some stubble, he looked around like a hawk: "Which of you is the leader or deputy leader?"
More than 800 people were silent, and it took a while before someone spoke up: "General, our leader is not here right now."
Thunder Dragon was startled: "Aren't you here? Where have you gone?"
"I'm taking people down the mountain to find food."
"Sir, this is the deputy village leader." A man with a horse face was suddenly pushed out.
"Niu Shusheng, you are looking for death!" Ma Lian turned back and glared fiercely at the person who pushed him out.
Wow!
Two Dingxi County soldiers rushed forward fiercely and pinned the horse's face down.
"Drag him out and teach me a lesson," Brontosaurus waved his hand impatiently, "let him know who is the boss here now."
"Niu Shusheng, right?" Thunder Dragon's face was full of amiability, "You have annoyed the deputy master, and you can no longer survive in this King Kong Village. Do you want to come with us?"
"Do you have anything to eat?" Niu Shusheng asked.
"Yes. It's cooking." Thunder Dragon nodded: "We brought Western beef jerky that is full of grease. Boil it in boiling water and it will be a delicious soup. The beef inside is fragrant and chewy.
