An hour later, in the end, only 505 people stood in front of the gate, and the other 194 people were eliminated.

"Very well, now let's start talking about the reward for meritorious deeds. Fang Ming said loudly.

As his words landed, thirty leopard guards walked out of the village in groups of two, carrying fifteen wooden boxes, and placed them in front of everyone.

Fang Ming stepped forward and opened the boxes one by one, and under the sunlight, bursts of white light flashed inside, making people dizzy.

"Silver.."

"That's a lot of silver." The crowd murmured.

The vast majority of people here have never seen so much silver in their lives.

"Wang Hua" Fang Ming walked to the first box and shouted Wang Hua's name at the same time.

"Subordinate in" The latter trotted over and knelt in front of Fang Ming.

"The success of this night attack depends on your timely detection of the enemy's movements, and your meritorious service, with a special reward of two hundred taels of silver, and two hundred taels of silver, a total of three hundred taels. Fang Ming took out six ingots of fifty taels of silver and handed them to Wang Hua.

"Thank you, Lord for the reward. Wang Hua kowtowed and thanked him, took the silver tattoo and turned to leave.

"This.." Seeing Fang Ming and Wang Hua's actions, everyone opened their mouths wide and couldn't close them for a long time.

Especially the captives, whose eyes were glowing green at the moment, stared at the silver, eager to swallow it immediately.

"Ma Wei!" Fang Ming continued to perform.

"The subordinates are here. ”

"In this night attack, you took the lead and fought bravely to kill the enemy, and your contribution was indispensable, and you were rewarded with two hundred taels of silver, and then two months of Yulu, one hundred taels of silver, a total of three hundred taels. ”

"Thank you, lord!"

......

The reward for the thirty leopard guards was one hundred and forty taels.

The reward for the three hundred wolf guards was seventy taels.

The reward for an ordinary soldier was fourteen taels.

And for those ordinary soldiers who did not participate in the battle, Fang Ming rewarded five taels of silver, plus two months of Yulu, a total of nine taels.

......

And when all the men had given them the rewards, there were two chests of silver left untouched.

"As for you.." Fang Ming looked at the 505 newcomers.

"It stands to reason that this reward was originally nothing to do with you, but..."

Everyone looked at Fang Ming with blank eyes, and no one didn't like silver.

"But today I should take you away the wind and wash the dust, and give each of you a month's worth of money, two taels of silver. Fang Ming said with a smile.

"Thank you, lord!" Hearing this, all the newcomers knelt down to thank them, looking excited, and many people cheered.

Some people who were still hating Fang Ming also changed their opinions, in their eyes, Fang Ming was just another bandit leader, who would also oppress and exploit them.

But looking at it now, with this master, maybe you can really live a good life?

Since they can join the Black Wind Village, the living conditions before must not be good, one by one poor jingle bell, if there is no way to live, who wants to be a bandit and live with their heads all day long.

And in the Black Wind Village, they can only get some food on weekdays, as for the monthly money? Just kidding, it's good to be able to live in that kind of place, where do you dare to expect this thing.

Even some of the old people in the cottage did not have any money, and only some small leaders could receive some silver from the chief on a regular basis.

The income of ordinary bandits depends on the booty obtained when they rob their homes, and they hand over the bulk of their heads, and they can get a little share of it.

Two taels of silver is a lot of money for these ordinary people, and most people can't save it for a year.

October 25th, at the end of the day, Erlong Mountain, inside the main hall

"Chang Feng, tell us about the situation in Heifeng Village, how many people there are, what is the strength, try to be as detailed as possible. Fang Ming sat in the main seat, and Li An, Xu Tianba, Qin Mang, Niu Lie, and Niu Ben were on the left and right.

Opposite them, there was a middle-aged man standing, who was Chang Feng, a newcomer who had just surrendered during the day.

Fang Ming worked tirelessly to check everyone's attributes.

Heifeng Village really spared no effort in selecting people and training, among these 505 people, there are very few people with a force value below 44, Fang Ming picked out 31 people with a force value of more than 50, and after they awakened, they were incorporated into the leopard guard.

Among them, this one named Chang Feng has the same physique as the force, and his potential is acceptable, and he is also a small leader in the Black Wind Village Shanzi Battalion.

In the past, he was just forced to make a living, join the Black Wind Village, and get by, at least he wouldn't do anything to the old and weak women and children, which can also be confirmed by others, and in the end, Fang Ming decided to awaken him with full energy.

In the afternoon, Fang Ming took two Hui Qi Pills and awakened Chang Feng and 20 others.

Obviously feeling that their strength had been improved, the eyes of these people looking at Fang Ming were full of awe, coupled with Fang Ming's generosity and allegiance, it was estimated that the word betrayal would not appear in their minds in this life.

Fang Ming was anxious to understand the strength of his opponent and know himself and his opponent, so he called Chang Feng to inquire about the situation in Heifeng Village.

"Hui Zhugong, as far as I know, Feng Minghua, the owner of Black Wind Village, is a real first-class master, but he hasn't done it recently, and his true strength is not something that a small character like me can know. In addition, there are three major generals in the village, Fu Hongen, Lu Fangtong, and Huang Donglai, all three of whom are second-grade masters, and their reputations are outside, and they are all over Jingnan. ”

"There are four major forces under the Black Wind Village, no, and three main forces, namely the wind, forest, and fire battalions, each battalion has the same establishment as the army, and the number is more than 1,000, but there is no Sima position, which is led by Feng Tianhao, Feng Tianxiao, and Feng Wenzhong, and they all have second-grade strength. Together with Feng Wenkai, the commander of the Shanzi Battalion, these four people are Feng Minghua's generals, and they have followed Feng Minghua for a long time, and they are loyal. ”

"In addition, there is also the elite troops led by Feng Minghua, the Black Wind Battalion, the number of people is about eight hundred, and the bandits in it are all powerful, and they are all specially selected. They are never used in general matters, these people are mainly practicing martial arts and training all year round, and with my previous strength, I can squeeze into the top fifty in that place. ”

"In addition to these fighting forces, there are about 4,000 young and strong laborers, old and weak women and children in the village, and if a strong enemy comes to attack, you can also pull up an armed team of 1,500 people, but the combat power is relatively low. ”

"There are countless weapons, armor, and arrows in the village, and the subordinates think that they can't be attacked, and it's best not to fight. ”

"And what's even more tricky is that I heard that Feng Minghua had a hot fight with a big man in the officialdom, and the other party supported him with a lot of armor, equipment, money, food and materials, but I don't know who it is. ”

"I can't imagine that the strength of Black Wind Village is so strong, counting Feng Wenkai and Li Cheng (jade) who have already been ambushed, there are eight second-grade masters in a thief's nest, and that Feng Minghua is even more first-grade master, it's too exaggerated, right?" Fang Ming rubbed his head.

Fang Ming sighed, a second-grade master, who can unify the army in the army, command 3,000 soldiers and horses, rank as a general, and enter the ranks of generals, and a Black Wind Village actually has so many masters, it is incredible, could it be that Feng Minghua is from some martial arts family or sect?

"Back to the lord, the strength of these people has also improved in the past two years, and only Feng Minghua was a second-grade master before. ”

It seems that this guy must have a big secret, and he also has a certain background above the court.

It is not a simple matter for a bandit den to grow to the scale of nearly 10,000 people without being wiped out.

Do you really think that the officials are those who eat white rice, idle all day long, and have nothing to do?

Those who rank high in the ranks must be human spirits.

If you are stupid, stupid, or slow to react, unless you have a deep background, you can't enter other people's circles, and you can kill you with any fingers.

Dozens or hundreds of people are fighting petty fights, and those big people are too lazy to pay attention, and they can't take advantage of their thankless efforts, and they will have to pay out of their own pockets and subsidize military funds in the end.

But the bandits on the scale of 10,000 people, not to mention military exploits and political achievements, can cause trouble to the sky just because the political enemy is not strict and has no way to govern it.

Coupled with the den of thieves of 10,000 people, the wealth in it is enough to move the heartstrings, those big people will serve you in a pot, take out ninety percent of the loot and report it to the court, and then move up and down, and make a point or two, if you can not only be promoted, but also make a fortune, and at the very least, you can also end up with a good reputation of being upright, diligent and loving the people, and you can also block the mouths of political enemies, why not.

It seems that if you want to fight this black wind village to the end, you still have to think about countermeasures, so as not to end up with the fish and cause a commotion.

Moreover, with Chang Feng's previous strength, he could only rank about fifty in the Black Wind Battalion, which means that at least fifty of these eight hundred bandits are comparable in strength to Wolf Guard, which is a hard bone, not easy to gnaw, if you don't do it, you will break a lot of teeth, you have to plan carefully.

"In your estimation, how long will it take for the remaining bandits in the Shanzi Camp to escape back to the Black Wind Station?"

Everyone is not stupid, there must have been a fish that escaped last night and returned to Heifeng Village to report the news.

"According to the estimation of his subordinates, it will take nine days to get to Heifeng Village in as fast as possible, and ten days to slow down. ”

"That Black Wind Battalion, do you often go out on weekdays?" Fang Ming always paid attention to the other party's ace troops, and it was very likely that he would meet this time.

"Only when it comes to hot hands, the owner of the village will use it. ”

"That person named Feng Minghua, is he cautious in dealing with the world on weekdays?"

"Be cautious and never fight a battle that you are not sure of. ”

"In this way, once and again, it will be twenty days before someone from Black Wind Village will appear here. ”

Since he is a cautious person, he will definitely not rush forward, and only after receiving the news of the destruction of the vanguard, will he send follow-up troops to fight.

"Okay, you go down and rest first, if there's any problem, we'll call you again." "What is going to be discussed next, Chang Feng is not qualified to know.

"Whoa!"

"My lord, the situation is not optimistic, the number of people on the other side is several times that of us. Li An sighed, if the other party is fully dispatched, it will not be easy to do, although it can win, but the casualties are estimated to be very large.

Everyone knows that Black Wind Village will definitely come to retaliate, so the next battle is inevitable.

"Well, in my estimation, there is a good chance that the Black Wind Battalion will be dispatched. Fang Ming nodded in praise.

'Gotta think of a good way to reduce the damage in battle. ’
