Volume 3 Qi Guo Chapter 4 Solving the Problem of Banditry
Zhao Yige looked up at the top of the mountain, the other party was in a high place and occupied the terrain, and his troops were very disadvantageous in the mountain stream. If it is forcibly attacked, it will definitely not work, and it is not an advantage in numbers. He remembered that Yan Qinghou instructed before leaving, surrender is the main thing, and force is the last resort. But to be honest, even the use of force in this situation is probably not effective. No wonder so many times I went up the mountain to suppress the bandits, but they all returned in vain. This young man of only sixteen years old, his father is a man who has spent his whole life on the battlefield, even if he has never even seen his own father's appearance, and has not learned any art of war, but his father inherited from his blood seems to have made him naturally familiar with combat. His current words and deeds, the soldiers accompanying him can't find faults, just like a general who has been in a hundred battles. If he is stronger, from the back, he really looks like an admirable general in the past.
"General Lin, although we have never met, since you were a general under my father, and you are also an important general of our country, the demon king cherishes talents, please return to the Yan country to avoid bloody rain. ”
I didn't expect that General Zhao would be famous and would risk his life to leave a cowardly and incompetent son. Jiang Guo should have died a long time ago, and I am no longer from Jiang Guo. Since you said that you are a person from the Yan Kingdom, and you still say a word about the demon king, it is really shameless. We have long since set up our own mountain, and even thousands of troops and horses cannot take this place. If you are really the orphan of General Zhao, then kill the demon next to you, and then join us. In this troubled world, recklessness like us is the real hero, a hundred times better than you wall grass groveling. Lin Rusheng's answer made Zhao Yige really unable to find the words to answer, these people have not been in contact with demons, and their understanding of demons is only known from rumors spread by word of mouth in the past. And when Lin Rusheng saw Zhao Yige hesitating, he knew that he was unable to communicate, even if he was the child of his former boss, as long as the Tao was different, he would eventually meet each other. Lin Rusheng gave an order, and the bandits on the top of the mountain lifted stones and rolling logs and threw them into the mountain stream, the tops of the mountain were towering, and the power of rolling logs and falling rocks was huge, smashing the land out of the pit, in order to avoid losing the soldiers, Zhao Yige had to let the soldiers withdraw from the mountain stream.
Seeing this situation, the green wolf felt that Zhao Yige was still too immature, and any tactics and tactics were all on paper, and the battlefield was changing rapidly, and a little hesitation would lose everything. Now because the enemy occupies a key position, Ben Yin has attacked the top of the mountain in one go, and once he retreats, attacking again will make the soldiers frightened, and thus the combat effectiveness will be reduced. When marching and fighting, morale is far more important than combat effectiveness, and sometimes it can be achieved with one enemy and one hundred enemies. The green wolf asked Zhao Yige, "What should you do next?"
"The other party occupies a strategic position, and a hard attack will definitely not work, so let's send someone to raid at night. ”
"Hmph, can you think that the people who suppressed bandits before couldn't think of it? I really don't know what you and Yan Qinghou have learned. Let me tell you, most of the bandit tribes like this are unstable, and the leaders are bound to their subordinates with interests. Even though the leader was a soldier before and was familiar with military discipline, there was no stable goal and long-term stable hearts among the gangs. Three-year-old children should know the truth of catching thieves and kings. ”
"But now I can't get close to each other, so it's easier said than done. ”
In the eyes of the green wolf, this young man did not seem to be as attractive as he was in the cage at that time, and now he is completely like an ordinary person. The wolf grabbed him by the arm in anger and threw him to the top of the mountain.
Zhao Yige watched as his feet left the ground, his body suspended uncontrollably, the trees under his feet became smaller and smaller, and then the top of the mountain appeared at his feet. Reaching the high ground, he fell again, failed to stand up, and fell to the ground.
Lin Rusheng was also shocked, the strength of this demon was extraordinary, and he threw a person to the top of a mountain dozens of meters high with his single-handed strength. The bandits on the top of the mountain also panicked, they didn't expect the other party to come to the top of the mountain easily, and no outsider had ever come up in the past ten years. But when they saw that Zhao Yige was alone, they were not afraid, and were ready to take off his head together. But another man jumped up, and the green wolf fell to the ground heavily, and his tall body stood in front of them. Few of these rabbles had ever seen orcs, and several were frightened by the vicious face of the green wolf.
The green wolf picked up Zhao Yige, who had not yet stood up, pointed at Lin Rusheng and said to him: "Is the leader of the other party in front of you now? Do you know what to do?"
Zhao Yige got up, and before he could recover from flying up from the mountain stream before, he pulled out his sword, this sword was given to him by Yan Qinghou, it was called the Yang Cutting Sword. Seeing Zhao Yige draw his sword, Lin Rusheng immediately drew his sword, and the bandits beside him also rushed up. Before they could get closer, the roar of the green wolf frightened the bandits in the front row to pieces, and their seven orifices were bleeding, and their internal organs were shattered by the sound of the green wolf. The bandits in the back did not dare to go up again.
"Surrender, General Lin. It's not the same thing now, and we're going to be stronger. ”
"Have you completely surrendered to those demons now? Is it because we are afraid of the other party's strength? If ordinary people are indeed afraid, but those of us who have been on the battlefield have long since put life and death out of the way, just for the sake of breath. I'll teach you a lesson on behalf of the dead Zhao Jingqi. ”
Lin Ru raised his sword and fought Zhao Yige on the top of the mountain.
The two kept clashing, and the momentum Lin Rusheng had a slight upper hand. Lin Rusheng's realm is estimated to be only one layer out of the ordinary, and there is no change at all with the naked eye, or he himself doesn't know that he has such strength. Lin Rusheng's moves were all dead moves, slashing towards Zhao Yige's head and important parts, after all, after a long time on the battlefield, Zhao Yige was defeated in many battles, and he couldn't even hold the sword in his hand.
Yan Che's order was to subdue the bandits and try not to lose their soldiers and horses. Seeing Zhao Yige's state, the green wolf really didn't feel like helping him. Although he could raze the mountain to the ground with a single move, showing his majesty, it was meaningless to these ordinary people who followed. Just like a person gives birth to a child, physical health is one thing, and learning to survive is another. If this kid really broke free from the hatred of the past, then he should be even more fearless, but Zhao Yige always felt that he was small in his heart and had no confidence at all. The realm of mastery of qi is actually the exploration of life.
Zhao Yige was kicked in front of the green wolf by Lin Rusheng, and seeing that Lin Rusheng was winning, the bandits began to cheer for him, shouting "kill him".
Zhao Yige reluctantly got up and looked at the green wolf, but he didn't expect the green wolf to give him a slap. Everyone was stunned, not understanding why this orc had beaten his own people. The green wolf scolded at Zhao Yige: "You short-lived creature, you only have a few decades of life, and you still have time to waste here? You tell me if you want to live or want to die? Think about why the young master saved you, and what is the meaning of life." If you can't live, try to die! When you truly feel death and understand the preciousness of life, you will be able to open up your blocked meridians and open the valve. After speaking, the green wolf actually kicked Zhao Yige in front of Lin Rusheng again, and Lin Rusheng was really panicked. He knew in his heart that although he could deal with this man, the man behind this man would definitely not be able to be provoked.
Zhao Yige stood up, but the head of the sword was facing the ground.
"Have you given up struggling? Child, the fault is that you were born in troubled times. Lin Rusheng felt sorry for him in his heart, and then rushed towards him with his sword. thought that Zhao Yige would accept the move, but unexpectedly, Zhao Yige actually dropped the sword in his hand, spread his arms, and took Lin Rusheng's sword hard. The scar slashed from Zhao Yige's left chest to his right abdomen, and blood bloomed from him like a flower.
Lin Rusheng looked at him and found that Zhao Yige was still standing, his eyes staring at him all the time, as if he was a grim reaper. How could he still stand tall after being hit so hard? Lin Rusheng himself was surprised, but it was only a brief flashback, and Zhao Yige fell straight to the ground.
Zhao Yige looked at the sky, the sky on the top of the mountain was so clean. His body began to lose sensation and even began to feel no pain. Suddenly, the voice of the green wolf appeared in my ears, "Do you feel the taste of death now?"
"Yes, I'm going to feel nothing soon. Is this death?"
"Now is a very critical moment, the human qi is converted from the life force, and you feel powerless, that is the qi in the body begins to drain. When all the qi in your body is lost, you are an empty shell. However, when the qi in your whole body is exhausted, it is also when you open the valve. Your previous qi has become cloudy and incompatible with your body because of the lute cone, and you have to absorb all the lost qi at the last moment when your life force is gone. You only have one chance, and if you retract your breath, you can be reborn, and if you can't absorb it, you're really dead. “
Zhao Yige slowly closed his eyes and didn't move again.
"Is it dead? Although it's a pity, it seems that the young master has seen the wrong person. The green wolf said ruthlessly to Zhao Yige's corpse, and then stepped over his body to face a group of mountain bandits.
The green wolf pointed at all of them and said: "Let's go together, I am in a very unhappy mood now, although the young master wants you to replenish the army, but to be honest, you ......" The green wolf saw that the other party's reaction was a little abnormal, and before he finished speaking, all the people on the other side were dumbfounded. One of them pointed behind the green wolf, and the green wolf looked back for a moment, and then showed a satisfied smile: "The young master is really not mistaken." “
Zhao Yige actually stood up again! That look seemed to penetrate everything, it was a longing look!
The green wolf could feel the qi on Zhao Yige's body swirling around his body like a hurricane, and he had learned to master the operation of qi.
"Think of that sword as a part of your body so that the sword can act on your consciousness. Although I don't use a sword, I use an axe, but the essence is the same. The green wolf said to Zhao Yige.
Zhao Yige looked at the sword that fell to the ground, he stretched out his right hand, thinking that the sword was in his hand, the sword began to shake on the ground, and finally bounced back into his hand. The first time the sword was entangled, his realm was at least the third level of denaturalization, and the next thing was to see how he concretized qi.
"Wrap the qi around the sword, let the qi run throughout the body, and use the qi to lighten your body. You can use the qi for your own use, or you can share the weight of your body with the qi, so that your speed can be greatly increased. The green wolf commanded him again, and Zhao Yige also learned quickly, as soon as he raised his legs, without raising dust, he flew from behind the green wolf, and pointed a sword at Lin Rusheng. Lin Rusheng hurriedly swung his sword to block it, and the sudden attack made him retreat again and again. He looked at his sword, and it was actually cut into a gap.
"Condense the qi on the tip of the sword, and when you swing the sword, you can launch the sword qi. The green wolf continued to teach him. At this time, everyone could already see that Zhao Yige's body began to glow, and the blood and qi on his body fused together, like a sun. Then Zhao Yige swung his sword, and a red sword qi rushed towards them. Lin Rusheng subconsciously used his sword to block, but ordinary defensive techniques could not offset the direct attack of Qi. Lin Rusheng and the bandits behind him were all hung to the ground by the qi wave, attacked by the sword qi, and everyone was in agony on the ground. Lin Rusheng raised his head again, and Zhao Yige's sword was already aimed at him.
Lin Rusheng was very relieved to see Zhao Yige's rapid growth. But he still has a dead heart on the world. The bandits who fell to the ground behind him began to beg for mercy and were willing to surrender, but Lin Rusheng was indifferent, he raised the sand, blocking Zhao Yige's vision, and then drew his sword to attack him. But even though Zhao Yige lost his vision, he still felt Lin Rusheng's breath, he closed his eyes, and swung down with a sword, splitting Lin Rusheng's sword in two.
"General Lin, please surrender. If you've just seen a change in me, try to believe me once. If you're like me and you're not afraid of death, why don't you try to live well. “
Hearing Zhao Yige's words, Lin Rusheng felt embarrassed and knelt on the ground. I can't imagine that I have lived for so many years, and there is no child who is only a teenager who lives clearly.
"I, all the people of Qi Tianzhai, am willing to return to the Yan country. The bandits behind him also dropped their weapons and knelt on the ground.
The green wolf said to them: "Okay, it's rare that no one has died once and completed the task. Wait until you walk down the hill and return to the barracks under the guidance of the troops. After speaking, the green wolf grabbed Zhao Yige and jumped down the mountain stream.
However, the green wolf and Zhao Yige did not return to the place where the troops stayed, but in a hidden wood. Although Zhao Yige reopened the valve with the will to die, and the realm was raised to the third level of detachment, his injuries were indeed too serious. Zhao Yige was still holding the sword in his hand, he wanted to stop the loss of qi in his body, but the qi in his body began to decrease and decrease, which indicated that his life began to weaken, and this time he was afraid that he would really die.
"If you want to die, I won't save people. You kid hold on, I'll take you back and let those two stinky girls heal you. The green wolf picked up Zhao Yige and was about to return to the city, when a seed fell from his thick hair, which began to sprout as soon as it fell into the soil, grew branches, and finally became a human being, exactly like Hua Yao.
"Silly dog, I know that you are useless, the young master has already arranged for me to leave a clone on you, and I can help when I need it. Said proudly, his tone was the same as Hua Yao's.
"It's still the young master who thinks thoughtfully, I just care about opening this kid's valve, forgetting that human life is too fragile. But why does your doppelganger have the same bad mouth as Hua Yao. ”
The green wolf put down Zhao Yige, and Hua Yao's doppelganger began to heal him, stretching out an unreadable thin line from his hand, suturing Zhao Yige's wound perfectly, and then sprinkling pollen, which fell on Zhao Yige's body, blooming many flowers.
"These flowers can replenish his lost qi, and don't spoil the flowers until he returns to the Meng Dynasty. Do you understand, silly dog?"
"Understood...... Who are you calling stupid dogs!" The clone laughed, then turned into pollen and disappeared.
"Alas, you kid, the young master is so good to you, you have to be heartfelt to him in the future. The wolf picked him up again and returned to the army.
After Qi Tianzhai returned to Yanguo, other robbers and bandits from all walks of life also returned to Yanguo one after another, and were incorporated into the army, and there were more than 10,000 people, which shows that before this, the world was really unstable.
After the expansion of the army, food and weapons and equipment should also be raised accordingly. However, Yan Guo's current reserves were completely unable to meet the needs of 200,000 soldiers and horses, and the thought of facing a Qi army of at least one million soldiers and horses put another problem in front of Yan Qinghou.
