"Do those women still refuse to leave?" The 32 young women rescued in the cottage said that they would not leave, wanting to follow Fang Ming's team, do laundry, cook, and spend the rest of their lives in peace, but there was nothing else to ask for.

According to what they said, the village was slaughtered by bandits, and there are no relatives to run to, a weak woman, how to survive in this world, stay here at least there is a place to live, after going out, maybe it will be taken away by other thieves, the boundary of Jingzhou is too chaotic.

"Yes, but they also follow the rules and never run around. Thinking of those poor people, Xu Tianba sighed.

"Then stay, arrange a special person to take care of it, and don't let people bully you anymore. Let's go down. Fang Ming also understood that these people had no good place to go, so he simply left them alone.

The next day (October 18), Fang Ming awakened the 10 people recommended by Xu Tianba, these people have a force value between 53 and 57, one of them is still talented, and his physique is only 3 points lower than the force value, Fang Ming awakened him with full energy, and the other nine people were generally awakened.

Of these ten people, Fang Ming incorporated them into the Leopard Guard, bringing the total number of Leopard Guards to 30.

In the next few days, Fang Ming carried out an ordinary awakening of the 40 people brought by Xu Tianba every day, and incorporated them into the Wolf Guard, and after the others saw the changes in these people, they all worked hard to cash in, hoping to be appreciated and improve their strength.

'Don't have a burden, if you don't have yourself, these people won't be able to break through the five-grade realm in their lifetime!' The strength of ordinary awakening was obtained at the expense of one's own potential, Fang Ming always had a sense of guilt, and he could only comfort himself with such an excuse.

......

October 21, Xinshi, under the original Black Mountain Village

"Tell Commander Feng that the cottage is a scorched earth, full of ruins, there is a large mound inside, looking at the color and scale of the soil, it should be newly established, there are many people buried in it, and there is nothing else. "In front of the army of Heifeng Village, Feng Wenkai and Li Cheng (Yu) rode in front, and the follow-up team of 4 people was in a row, endless, and there was no end in sight, and several scouts knelt on the ground to report the situation of the investigation.

"Brother Chengyu, it seems that the people of Erlongshan are still affectionate and righteous, and they buried the corpses of the people in this black mountain village. Feng Wenkai said with a smile, in their opinion, it must be the bandits of Erlong Mountain who broke through here, gathered the enemy's corpses together and buried them together, and burned the entire cottage before leaving. In these years, there are too few 'good people' who kill and bury.

"Yes, these people will not be bad at that time, after we capture Erlong Mountain, we can spare their lives at that time, escort them back to Lianyun Mountain, and obey the fate of the village master. Li Cheng (Yu) also felt the same way.

"The order, the rear team changed to the front team, and turned to Erlong Mountain. Feng Wenkai snorted and turned the horse's head.

"The rear team becomes the front team, and it will be transferred to Erlong Mountain!"

...

"The rear team becomes the front team, and it will be transferred to Erlong Mountain!"

...

"The rear team becomes the front team, and it will be transferred to Erlong Mountain!"

...

After receiving his order, every ten rows, there was a platoon leader to repeat the order, and after he finished speaking, until the follow-up people picked up, the ten rows of soldiers turned clockwise and waited in place, until a stick of incense, all the soldiers completed the turn, and began to start and walk, it is unimaginable that such a force is trained by a group of bandits, Feng Minghua is a person, the plan is very big!

......

October 24th, midday

Fang Ming was checking the training of the recruits in a courtyard in the village.

Although Xu Tianba was still recruiting people, Fang Ming no longer carried out ordinary awakenings for his subordinates today.

On the one hand, after this month's consumption, there are only 35 Qi Rejuvenation Pills left, and there is a long way to go, Fang Ming does not dare to waste it, so he will suspend it first, and only rely on cultivation to recover his energy points.

On the other hand, Fang Ming, the strength of the new recruits was not ideal, and among the remaining nearly 150 people, the highest force value was only 41, and Fang Ming didn't want to waste precious energy points on them.

Now there are 30 leopard guards and 300 wolf guards, Fang Ming divided them into groups, in addition to the overall action, each leopard guard usually leads 10 wolf guards for training and fighting, such a team is called a squad, and ten squads are commanded by a tiger guard, called a squadron.

In the future, the wolf guard will be a grassroots soldier, and the leopard guard will be equal to a grassroots officer, and in the future, he will join the level of the lion guard and act as a middle-level officer, replacing the current tiger guard and commanding the squadron.

The Tiger Guard will be regarded as a low-level general.

In the past few days, with the increase in manpower, Xu Wei and Gao Kuo have also stepped up the production of Chinese longbows and heavy arrows, and the heavy arrows consumed by training alone every day have reached more than 400, which has made the two complain, and they can only make bows and arrows all day long.

"Lord, I have something important to say!" Just as Fang Ming was guiding a group of recruits to train the longbow, Wang Hua suddenly walked in front of him and whispered, his expression solemn.

"Let's go, go to my room!" Fang Ming nodded, Wang Huaneng said this, it must be a big deal, and it can't be discussed in public.

"My lord, there is an enemy attacking, and the number is about a thousand. As soon as he entered the house, Wang Hua immediately told the truth.

"What! The news is reliable?" Fang Ming wondered, where did this enemy come from, could it be that Zhang Wenlong and Zhang Lelong's former allies came to take revenge, when did the current bandits become so righteous?

"My subordinates have personally investigated it, and there is no mistake. ”

"Hey, you can't live in peace. Qin Mang called Li An, Tianba, Niu Lie, and Niu Ben to come over to discuss the matter. Fang Ming rubbed his head, extremely confused, and was about to go to war again.

After a cup of tea, four people arrived.

"My lord. The four saluted.

"Wang Hua just checked the news, a team is rushing to Erlong Mountain, the number of people is about 1,000, I am afraid that the person who came is not good. Fang Ming told everyone the information.

"What!" The four of them were shocked, this is not a small number, to put it mildly, 1,000 people can attack many county seats.

"Not from the imperial court?" Li An wondered, where did so many people come from?

"There is no military uniform, no flag, not the team of the imperial court!" Wang Hua shook his head.

"Could it be, Black Wind Village?" Xu Tianba said.

"Black Wind Village?" Fang Ming didn't remember that he had provoked such a force?

"I know them, rumors, because the name of Black Mountain Village has the same name as the black character of Black Wind Village, they have committed a taboo and want to destroy our Black Mountain Village, but they have not done it. Xu Tianba remembered the rumors on the rivers and lakes and explained.

"Could it be that he is a relative of the emperor and the country, and he acts so domineering?" Fang Ming was curious, how could a person be so domineering that he didn't even let others get his name.

"I guess that this is actually just an excuse for them to annex my Black Mountain Village in the past, this Black Wind Village has been reorganizing Jingzhou bandits and rogues in recent years, and it is estimated that their leader wants to do something big. This time, it is estimated that he wants to take the opportunity to take over Erlongshan. "Xu Tianba.

"That's right, the leader of this Black Wind Village is a character. Fang Ming admired, no matter what his strength was, this person had the ambition to compete for the world, and this courage was not comparable to ordinary people, but he didn't know whether he was a hero or a bear in the end.

"Wang Hua, according to your observation, what is the strength of the other party's thousand people?" After Fang Ming sighed, he asked for information, no matter how much he admired, it was always a bad one.

"For fear of startling the snake, I only observed from a distance for a while, and did not look closer. In terms of military discipline and complexion alone, I am afraid that the strength is not much worse than that of the border army, and it is stronger than the average county soldiers, and it can be called elite. Wang Hua made a comprehensive evaluation based on the opponent's marching speed, the mental outlook of the personnel, and the physical condition.

"My lord, with our strength, it is not a big problem to eat them, but there will be some casualties. Li An interjected, he still has the most say in marching and fighting.

Since it is not comparable to the border army, it is still composed of ordinary people, with the strength of three hundred wolf guards, thirty leopard guards, and ten tiger guards, even if the other party has a thousand men and horses, they are not afraid.

"This is a tough battle, with the enemy's foot strength, when will you be able to reach Erlong Mountain?" Fang Ming rubbed his head, as soon as he developed well, the opponent came to the door and slapped him in the face.

"Judging by their speed, Shen Shi will be able to reach the bottom of the mountain. "Wang Hua.

"In this case, we must first find out what the other side is trying to do, and if it is really a bad intention, we must find an environment that is favorable to us and bring us a map. Fang Ming instructed Qin Mang to spread out the map, and everyone gathered around the map and began to discuss.

......

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the march of Black Wind Village was in the ranks.

After a few days of hurrying, Feng Wenkai and Li Cheng (Yu) finally rushed to Yanxi Valley with the bandits of the Shanzi Camp, which is thirty miles away from Erlong Mountain.

"Commander Feng, the scenery of this Yanxi Valley is pleasant, and it really deserves its name, it is said that the Yanxi Valley in early October is blue and clear, the trees are beautiful and the flowers are gorgeous, and the birds and fish are fresh, but it is one of the top ten in Jingzhou, and we will definitely come to see it together next year." Li Cheng (jade) admired the scenery in this valley and sighed with emotion.

It is not called Yanxi Valley because of the shallow water, more quagmires and few sparse trees and grasses, and is affected by the warm and humid monsoon, so there is plenty of rain throughout the year.

In the small valley, there are both aquatic plants, wetland plants and their tubers, tuber roots, fibrous roots and shoots, etc., and there are fish, shrimp, crab and birds are the staple food, therefore, at the beginning of October every year, there will be a large number of wild geese that go south to spend the winter inhabit here, these geese stay here for half a month, wait for the end of October to begin, fly south again for the winter, the name of the wild goose valley is derived from this, it is quite famous in the land of Jingzhou, it is a holy place to play.

"Well, since Brother Chengyu has such Yaxing, why don't I do it. Feng Wenkai laughed heartily.

"But Brother Chengyu, I heard that this Erlong Mountain is the largest cottage in the vicinity, as long as it can be leveled today, our Black Wind Village will do some more things and it will be much smoother. Feng Wenkai said with a smile, after more than ten days of travel, the group finally reached their destination.

A small Erlong Mountain, in their eyes, is just a little-known little thief's nest, which can be destroyed with a flip, and the two of them are in a good mood at this moment.

"Report!" While the two were talking and laughing, the scout who was exploring the way in front of him returned and went to Feng Wenkai to pray.

"Speak!" Feng Wenkai waved his hand, very heroic.

"Commander, the wooden bridge a thousand meters ahead has been destroyed. ”
