Deng Chang turned his head sharply, with a look of horror in his eyes.
Before he could say a word, Xiao Han raised his hand and slashed his neck with the thin sword, causing his head to fall off the horse reluctantly.
The gangsters were so distraught that they ran towards the wilderness with no intention of fighting.
Zhang Yi's deployment is to surround three and one is missing, to prevent the enemy from causing damage to our troops when they are desperate.
In any case, the nearly two thousand armed bandits are a force that cannot be underestimated. They were just caught off guard by us. Once they organize themselves to launch a counterattack, there will definitely be a fierce battle.
The problem is that these gangsters with very strong personal force are all selfish guys. In the final analysis, they are just a gang made up of thirteen cottages.
After the beacon fire was lit in Mopan City, 2,500 troops from 25 common people's alliance cottages rushed out from five nearby cottages and divided into five groups to outflank the bandits' retreat route.
The troops from both sides soon encountered each other.
"Justice!" "Justice!" "Justice!"
Our soldiers shouted commands one after another, and the answer should be "win".
The gangsters were all confused. In their panic, they thought they were calling Zhang Yi's name, so they tried to fool around with it and yelled randomly.
"Zhang Yi!" "Zhang Yi!" "Zhang Yi!"
"Don't get me wrong, brothers, we are Zhang Yi's people!"
Can this be misunderstood?
So they rushed forward with swords, guns and sticks.
"What a blind dog," Guo Wei said angrily, "We are heroes and righteous sent to hunt down the bandits, how dare you block the way?"
"Shut up!" someone on the other side yelled, "Guo Wei from Tianmazhai, why don't you get off your horse and beg for mercy?"
This is when we meet our enemies.
Guo Wei was heartbroken. He saw many troops rushing around and forming a formation, completely blocking the bandit army's retreat. He roared angrily: "Brothers, surrender is a dead end. Follow me and I will fight my way out!"
"
The two sides were fighting in a melee, clashing weapons, cursing each other, and no one was willing to give in.
At this time, Zhang Yi led the cavalry team to arrive. Dozens of heavy cavalry and hundreds of light cavalry, holding torches, lined up in a long queue on the wasteland, advancing unstoppably.
"Surrender without killing!" Zhang Yi shouted loudly.
"The Lord of Heroes has spoken, put down your weapons and spare your dog lives!" Niu Ben roared.
"I am Shi Gandang of Zhensanshan. Those who obey will stay alive, and those who disobey will die!" Shi Gandang shouted.
Xiao Han also rode on a war horse, and Xiao Long guarded Zhang Yi on the left and right, each shouting: "Surrender without killing!"
Brother Zhang Yi's reputation spread far and wide, and the gangsters had long been aware of it. Seeing this impressive formation, their legs became weak and they lost interest in fighting. They dropped their weapons and knelt on the ground.
The cavalry slowed down and passed through the dense crowd. When they saw who still had weapons in their hands, they rushed to kill them.
Surrender is also contagious, spreading from the back to the front.
"No fight, brothers, Zhang Yi surrenders without killing!" Many gangsters shouted.
The military order of "surrender without killing" had been spread to 25 villages and was implemented.
In the blink of an eye, nine of the ten gangsters put down their weapons and stopped fighting.
When Guo Wei saw that the situation was over, he sighed, threw away his weapons, jumped off his horse, and mingled with the crowd.
All the resisters were killed.
Zhang Yi ordered an inventory of the battlefield and captured 1,628 people, 439 horses, and 6 village owners from thirteen evil families.
During the melee, our team formed a formation to focus on defense, so there were no casualties and only a few hundred people were injured.
In the largest field battle in the history of the Mopan City area, our side achieved an unprecedented victory.
Not only does the enemy advance rashly, but it also seriously lacks organization and discipline. If they are united as one, their combat effectiveness will be very strong.
The six village leaders were led to Zhang Yi's horse, and they all knelt in a row. If you lose, you lose. For the bandits, it is not a shame to kneel in front of a more powerful person. Serve the strongest,
It has always been the rule for ruthless people.
Zhang Yi is very clear about this, and he will use this group of people to deal with threats from the three major surrounding countries.
Song Laohei took a closer look and asked, "Where is Guo Wei from Tianmazhai?"
"Where is Guo Wei?" people asked one after another.
He is the leader of the largest evil village at present. The mastermind of this sneak attack, how could he let this guy escape?
Many people had seen Guo Wei, and they rushed into the group of prisoners to search, and finally pulled out the guy who had taken off his armor and smeared mud on his face, and escorted him to Zhang Yi.
"Okay, Guo Wei!" Song Laohei went up and gave him a big slap, "For many years, your Tianmazhai has bullied my Songjiazhai because of its great power. Today you take the lead in a sneak attack on Mopan City. If you lose, you will lose.
Why hide like a mouse?"
People around him laughed at them, including the gangsters. If you can't defeat someone, just admit defeat honestly, so you can still survive. Unexpectedly, Guo Wei has this skill. It seems that he will not admit defeat and wants to find an opportunity to escape.
.
"Guo Wei," Zhang Yi sat on Jueying's back, staring down at the bandit leader, seeing the fierceness in his eyes, "Are you planning to escape to old China and find Liu Kai to send troops to take revenge?"
Guo Wei was shocked, how could Zhang Yi know what he was thinking?
To Zhang Yi, this is obvious.
Tianmazhai is not far from Songjiazhai and closer to Jiyuan City. Naturally, Guo Wei was the first village owner Liu Kai attracted in the Mopan City area.
"Everyone, I, Zhang Yi, keep my word and surrender without killing." Zhang Yi raised his head and said loudly, "But Guo Wei is an exception. You have all seen that he refuses to accept and wants to bring Liu Kai's power to our land!
Let me tell you, the Mopan City area is independent and free, and as long as I, Zhang Yi, are here, no outside forces can even think of stepping in!"
Cheers rang out.
Everyone knows that once Liu Kai takes over this area, he will definitely send his cronies, and heavy taxes will follow.
"Those who obey the righteous brother will be treated as citizens of Mopan City, everyone is equal, and they have adequate food and clothing," Xiaolong announced the policy loudly, "The righteous brother has an order. Due to historical reasons, this generation is more or less guilty.
Therefore, we issued an order to change our minds and give most people a chance to turn over a new leaf, except for people like Guo Wei who have committed such heinous crimes and have disloyal intentions!"
"Kill him!"
Everyone around shouted, including many robbers.
The policies introduced by Zhang Yi gave them a way to survive, and they would be able to enjoy the same treatment as the people in Mopan City in the future. This was a good thing that they had never dreamed of!
The word citizen is a strange word to them, but it sounds very glorious. This word means that they can enjoy the benefits of Mopan City.
Guo Wei trembled all over, kowtowed and begged: "Zhang Yi, you agreed to surrender without killing, I surrendered, you still have the order to change my mind, I will change my mind, please give me a chance!"
Zhang Yi smiled coldly and said something.
"I'm just afraid that the dog won't change its habit of eating shit."
He waved his hand, and Xiao Han jumped off his horse, pulled out his thin sword from the black wooden stick, and chopped off Guo Wei's head.
The thin sword was then sheathed, and Xiao Han returned to the horse at an unbelievable speed.
