"My lord... there is a group of bandits in this mountain, called the Black Wind Bandits, they are the most cunning!"
Zhan Da held a machete and opened the way ahead: "We hide and seek with them for a long time before we found the enemy's stronghold and blocked the main road..."
His eyes are lively and his speech is much more organized than the soldiers next to him. Apart from his more upright temper, he is almost the same as a normal person.
The chilling and mechanical feeling on the body can also be seen as the temperament and common problems of soldiers.
Seeing this scene, Aaron couldn't help but feel quite satisfied.
'This Liujia Divine Weapon has finally been upgraded to an elite unit...'
In fact, upgrading is not complicated, it is just a matter of combining the idea of animal taming and using the spirituality of the 'tower' for wisdom enlightenment.
But humans are not animals after all, and it took Aaron a long time to find a way.
Also, the consumption is a bit high.
'It is impossible to popularize it. At most, some elite units can be created... But to be honest, it is still a dream to command tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of generals to complete the planning and deployment of a grand war.
!'
Aaron had to admit that "general skills" and talents are real, especially some military geniuses whose keen sense of smell and timing in war are really beyond the reach of ordinary people!
'It seems... we will still need to recruit some people in the future to serve as generals or even commanders of the entire army?'
'As long as I use my people as the backbone, I will never be afraid of mutiny and betrayal...'
Aaron was just daydreaming about the scene in the future when he would go against the grain and lead an army to rebel, and he was inexplicably looking forward to it...
While I was thinking about it, my eyes suddenly opened up and a village appeared.
"This is Heifeng Village? It really occupies a good location. There are hundreds of bandits? It's not bad...the mountains and forests can't support too many people."
Aaron examined it and felt that the stronghold was really easy to defend but difficult to attack. He couldn't help but nodded and ordered: "Attack!"
"Follow me!"
Zhan Da let out a roar, and dozens of people suddenly gathered around him and rushed towards the stockade.
The fifty men he brought were the backbone of the pursuers, and they had the best weapons and leather armor.
In addition, Aaron has also 'conquered' many local bandits this year, and his men have expanded to 500!
With the ability to 'sow the beans into an army', there is no fear of low morale or defection.
But it was a bit troublesome to raise him, and the rewards he received from the previous officials were gradually not enough!
At this time, after Zhan Da took charge of the main attack, people from all directions in the dense forest also mobilized, rushing towards the mountain stronghold from all over like crazy.
"In order to destroy a city, we have always focused on attacking a little bit and concentrating our firepower to break through."
Aaron looked at the battle situation and knew that there was something wrong with the command, but he was not afraid at all: "But if five hundred people fight a hundred people, even if the opponent is huddled in the stronghold, the advantage is mine..."
"Building a strong fortress, fighting stupid battles, and being able to attack with ten times the force at every turn... is also the secret of a military strategist's constant victory."
…
Black Wind Village.
The leader was at the gate of the village, looking at the charging crowd with a ferocious expression: "Damn... this day has finally come!"
He had known for a long time that a group of river crossing dragons had come to the local green forest. They were very careless in their work and had already wiped out many cottages and gangs.
I was worried before, but when this day arrived, I felt a little relieved.
"Brothers! We have a stronghold, kill them hard!"
The headmaster's eyes were red: "If you win this time, the money will be divided among the big scales in the village, and everyone can enjoy my six-bedroom women as they please!"
The bandits howled in excitement and waved their weapons.
Soon, Zhan Da and others who were in the first wave of charge reached the mountain stronghold.
The first gate of this cottage is located in the wonderful scenery of the sky. It guards the dangerous pass. Although it is not high, it has dug trenches and some wooden thorns and horses.
"Push it to me!"
After all, Zhan Da has been 'enlightened' and 'upgraded' and has become an elite unit. At this time, instead of taking the lead, he fell a few steps behind and began to take command.
The Liujia Divine Soldiers had no such thing as morale, and the soldiers behind them rushed forward with a muffled voice.
"Fire arrows! Shoot them to death!"
The second master gave the order, and arrows fell down on the village gate like raindrops.
Most of the mountain people were skilled in hunting skills and were proficient in playing with bows and arrows. Several soldiers were shot to death immediately, and some were hit by several arrows. They continued to charge without shouting or yelling.
Especially the first few, wearing leather armor and hanging arrows, seemed to have turned into a hedgehog, but in fact they were not seriously injured. They came to the gate of the village without saying a word, moved away the obstacles, and started climbing.
"Master...there's something wrong with this situation."
The second master came to the first master's side, and his tone was a little trembling: "It's not like the village has never been besieged before... There are always a few deserters after a round of arrows, but none of these people turned around, and the leader was still wearing skin.
A... these are the first-class elite soldiers of the imperial court!"
"Indeed, but the elite soldiers came to encircle and suppress us. Is there water in your head?"
The leader roared angrily: "Keep shooting arrows and hitting rocks!"
Bang!
A huge boulder was smashed down, causing a soldier's brain to burst.
Blood splattered on the faces of the surrounding colleagues, but their expressions remained unchanged.
It’s too late to say it, but it will be soon!
In the blink of an eye, the soldiers rushed under the stronghold.
Around the wooden door, there are also green wood thorns, which are a kind of thorny vine in the mountains. They were discovered by the master and were immediately used for defense.
Don't talk about iron thorns... Iron and gold are precious these days. If you have some, you can use it to make farm tools or weapons. You will never waste it to make barbed wire or the like.
puff!
A Liujia divine soldier rushed forward and covered the thorns with his body. The soldiers behind him also rushed forward and built a ladder.
Even if his head is broken and bleeding, his hands are still holding on tight.
"This... is crazy! Crazy!"
Above the village, the leader’s voice began to tremble: “This is not a human being, this is not a human being!”
He also knew a bit about the art of war, and knew that even if the imperial army came, a thousand people would not be able to break through his stronghold.
But under such a fearless style of play, the entire line began to falter.
"kill!"
A soldier climbed up the city wall and immediately swung his sword and beheaded a black bandit.
At the same time, the gangsters around him reacted immediately and pierced his body with several sharpened wooden sticks.
The soldier roared angrily, grabbed the nearest enemy, and fell off the city wall with him.
This style of fighting is not just for one person, but for everyone!
Especially after seeing a soldier who was burned beyond recognition by boiling water but still fought hard, the bandits on the entire defense line collapsed!
They are just gangsters, not elite soldiers!
It’s not easy to persist until now.
Even if the elite soldiers from the imperial court come, they may not be able to do better than them.
Seeing this scene, the headmaster couldn't help but feel cold in his hands and feet: "This is God trying to kill me!"
"Master, run away!"
The second master grabbed the first master’s arm and said, “If you keep the green hills, you won’t have to worry about not having firewood!”
But at this moment, there was a noise in the village, and there were faint shouts of killing.
"What happened again?"
The boss drew his sword in his hand and sounded like a lone wolf.
"It's the cliff at the back of the mountain. Someone has come to kill them. The third master who stayed behind has been killed..."
A gangster covered in blood escaped from the village and answered in a panic.
"Damn it, the mountain behind is a cliff! Could it be that it flew up?"
The leader simply stopped running and looked at the pursuers: "There is no retreat, let's fight out!"
"kill!"
The second master also drew his sword and fought with the pursuing Liujia magic soldiers.
call!
The second master thrust out his sword and hit the vital point of a soldier on the opposite side.
The soldier didn't care. He just turned his sword to one side and penetrated his left shoulder, then slashed him with the right one.
The second master wanted to draw the sword, but found that it was stuck in the bone and could not be pulled out!
Then, half of his neck was cut off with a knife!
"Are these soldiers? Why do they all play like desperadoes?"
The head of the family was completely devastated as he watched his subordinates being killed all around him.
He rolled his eyes, immediately threw away the long knife, and knelt on the ground: "I surrender!"
"Wait!"
Zhan Da came over and ordered people to tie up the bandit leader and bring him to Aaron.
"Lord, the stronghold has been destroyed and the bandit leader is here!"
Speak loudly.
"You are the leader of this group of people? What grudge do I have against you?"
The headmaster looked at Aaron with some doubts: "Are you... a Taoist?"
"Clean the battlefield, and the enemy will be wounded no matter how minor or serious they are. We will bandage those who are slightly injured, and those who are seriously injured will commit suicide immediately!"
Aaron didn't bother to look at him, looked around and gave an order.
Then, the headmaster was shocked to see that some of the seriously injured soldiers drew their knives to commit suicide, and some hit their heads against rocks, and they really died like that...
"You...you are not human!"
"You are an evil ghost, evil ghost...haha..."
This shocking and impactful scene immediately made the head of the family feel uncomfortable. His face seemed to be crying and smiling, as if he had gone crazy.
"Kill him!"
Aaron waved his hand, and Zhan Da immediately slashed his sword, decapitating the leader.
Immediately, a handful of red beans appeared in his hand and he threw them out.
A strange scene appeared!
The red bean fell into a pool of blood and penetrated into the headmaster's neck wound, causing his limbs to twitch immediately. He then stood up at an angle that violated human body mechanics, grabbed his head, and pressed against the wound... countless flesh and blood tentacles quickly entangled,
Repair wounds.
A moment later, a somewhat sluggish headmaster stood in front of Aaron.
The six armored soldiers who had died before were also resurrected and organized into formations.
"Master? No, from today on, you are called Hei Er!"
Aaron pointed at the big boss: "You had a conflict with Zhan Da's village, and then started a war, and were defeated... and finally surrendered, do you understand?"
"As you command!"
Hei Er answered without hesitation.
Although it is not very flexible, it is probably still enough to disguise itself as a bandit.
The people sent by Zhan Da to collect the goods from the village also came back: "Please tell me, my lord, that we found a lot of food, cloth, and money in the mountain village..."
"Um."
Aaron nodded with satisfaction.
After this battle, I had almost no losses except for Qi points.
Instead of losing strength, the team of 500 people has grown to 600 people!
Then he smiled with satisfaction: "Leave a hundred people and follow me back to the rest!"
…
Return journey.
As Aaron walked, he thought: "Six hundred soldiers...the consumption is getting bigger and bigger, but my family wealth is getting thinner and thinner. It's not enough to just rely on rewards from the officials..."
In the past, half of the supplies for the five hundred people came from the accumulation of the original village, and the other half was bought by Aaron from the county by selling official rewards, such as the topaz Ruyi.
It can be said that the entire application of this army was previously paid for by Dasong officials...
But this model obviously cannot last long.
As the team grows, you must control a territory and collect taxes to support the army!
Taxation is a national power, so a political power must be established!
"So... am I, Fang La, finally going to rebel? I'm a little excited just thinking about it!"
While he was pondering, Zhan Da came to report: "Our spies found something strange on the road ahead!"
When Aaron came to the front, he saw an official road outside, which was separated from the mountains and forests. It would not be lost if it expanded.
I taught him that when marching and fighting, it was necessary to send out sentries widely, and he would definitely carry out the task!
"Shall the army stay still, I will go with you to have a look!"
Aaron thought for a while, then walked along the official road with Zhan Da and others.
Not long after, he felt the ground shaking!
"Is it the sound of horse hooves, or a military horse! More than one ride!"
Aaron asked a few people to stop, and not long after, he saw a group of more than a dozen cavalry, chasing the three cavalry in front!
When he saw Aaron from a distance, he shouted: "The imperial court is hunting down the rebels, and anyone who dares to block the way will be killed!"
Aaron actually recognized the knight who escaped first!
"Poisonous Dragon Son!? Why is this old boy being hunted down every time we meet? His life is so miserable..."
Du Longzi was desperate to escape, but he didn't pay attention to Aaron, so he just passed by several people.
The Fengxiang Army pursuers behind them had a fierce look on their faces. They pulled out their long knives and used their horse power to prepare to cut off the heads of these people who were blocking the way!
After all, when the imperial court pursues rebels, those who stand in the way will be killed without mercy, and their death will be in vain!
Not only was his death in vain, but his head could also be considered a military merit!
Whoosh!
Aaron also saw the ill intentions of these imperial cavalry, but he just smiled and pointed his finger at the bun on his head.
The iron hairpin sword flew out and turned into a black light.
Whoosh!
In mid-air, I saw those knights falling off their horses one by one, with blood flying from their bodies!
"Ah...Flying Sword Technique!"
"You are Demon Dao Xu Lingzi!"
The cavalry leader shouted, seeing that all the arrows he shot were shot down in mid-air, he whipped his horse and ran away!
However, he was still too close and was pierced through the back of the heart by the iron hairpin sword. He fell off the horse and died...
"Collect all the horses... plus the previous savings, we can form a cavalry squad."
Aaron ordered happily.
War horses are completely different from ordinary horses. First of all, they are taller, and then they have to undergo special training. They cannot panic on the battlefield.
These dozen war horses are simply a windfall from heaven!
"yes!"
Zhan Da immediately took people to collect the horses and corpses, armor, weapons...
Suddenly, the sound of horse hoofbeats was heard, but the three horsemen rushed forward and found themselves surrounded by hundreds of Liujia magic soldiers, but they could only come back in disgrace.
"Ah...are you Taoist Master Xu Lingzi?"
Only then did Du Longzi see Aaron clearly and said with great joy: "Fellow Taoist has saved the old Taoist's life again."
"We had a hasty farewell before, but I didn't expect that we would see each other again today."
Aaron laughed: "Why did the Taoist priest come to this?"
"Alas..." Hearing Aaron's question, Du Longzi couldn't help but sighed: "It's hard to explain in words... His anger is so deceptive!"
