Li Xin did not look at the battle situation of the two brothers, Li Zhong and Li Mou, but launched feather arrows one after another, specifically shooting at the backbone who were shouting and cheering in the running crowd.

As the team of homeless people ran closer and closer to him, he opened the bow half-open every time, and for these homeless people without armor, there was no need to fill the hard bow of one hundred and forty catties.

As the backbone of the displaced people were shot down one by one, the displaced people who were blindly attacking unconsciously slowed down their pace without command and urging, and at this time they were only seven or eight steps away from the grain cart. Although some of them had lime bags, stones, and axes in their hands, according to the original plan, they would have thrown them at this distance. But in the absence of a commander, these peasants, who had joined the rebel army because of hunger, did not know what to do, and stood there stupidly, looking up at Li Xin, who was standing on the cart with a bow like a god.

"Put down everything you have!" Li Mu commanded loudly with his bloody waist knife.

The robbers who had been in the past, now without a leader, had all turned back into peasant outcasts, and one of them stood at the front and threw his weapon at his feet. After that, everyone followed, throwing away the weapons in their hands quickly, as if these weapons suddenly heated up and would burn their hands.

"Stand back! Back off! Li Mu continued to order loudly.

The crowd retreated obediently, but no one dared to run away. The sharpshooters standing in the cart were watching them all the time, and they didn't want to be shot.

Li Zhong and Li Mu also followed slowly, and did not stop until they also crossed the discarded weapons.

"Pick up the weapon!" Li Mu shouted without replying: "Pick the one you are good for first, and put away the others, this can be regarded as our first transaction!" ”

The border soldiers next to the cart let out a laugh, and then went to quickly pack up their weapons on the ground. It was easy to do with weapons, and after they had put all kinds of weapons on the ground on the cart, they surrounded the homeless people with their weapons in hand.

Now the roles of the two sides have been reversed, and the displaced people who robbed the road have now become lambs to the slaughter, looking at these dozen or so men in horror one by one, not knowing what their fate will be.

"What about these people?" Li Zhong looked at the more than thirty people who were surrounded by ten of them and asked.

Li Xin asked Li Mou, "You encountered this situation before, how to deal with it?" ”

Li Mu blurted out: "Of course I will accept it, find some strong and healthy, after two battles, those who can survive are good soldiers." But as soon as he finished speaking, he felt that something was wrong, and said regretfully: "But now it doesn't work, let's let it go." ”

Li Xin looked around, the flat ground was full of barren grass, he didn't expect that it was only more than two miles away from the city, and it would be desolate like this. Salary, showdown, and compensation, these yeoman farmers are completely unable to live, and can only surrender or run away. Even if their land is a land of anointing, they can only endure the pain. He thought that maybe that would be a good idea.

"Fourth brother?" Li Mu called Li Xin again.

Li Xin nodded, signaling that he understood. Then he asked loudly, "Where is your stockade?!" How many more people?! ”

The homeless people all bowed their heads, and no one answered.

Li Mou casually pointed to a hooligan, and a border soldier went over and dragged the man out and put a knife on the man's neck.

"A good man, spare his life! A good man, spare his life! The man trembled and shouted: "We are in Qiligang, there is no one there, they are all our family members, the old and the young, please spare your life!" ”

Li Mu went up and kicked the man, only to stop the homeless man who kept shouting with his eyes closed, and then asked, "Specifically, how many people are there?!" How many are outlaws like those who died?! ”

The man thought for a moment, and said tremblingly: "There are not many, at most seven or eight." ”

Li Mu looked at Li Xin and wanted to know what he was going to do next.

"Is there a problem with taking down Qiligang?" Li Xin asked Li Mu.

"What do you want to do? It's a flat river here, and if the official army comes to attack, it won't even be able to use the terrain. Don't talk about our people, even when King Gao Chuang was back then, he didn't stay still in one place. Li Mu stared at Li Xin incredulously and said.

Li Xin raised his hand and pointed to the surrounding wilderness and said, "Look, it's all wasteland. If we gathered people together and planted food, how many people would there be? How many soldiers can there be? Then he pointed to the county seat behind him and said, "Can that county town stop us?" If there is a county seat, there will be the next county seat. ”

"If only it were that simple!" Li Mu said disdainfully: "If it were so simple, we would have been beaten to Beijing a long time ago, and we would have been beaten and scattered?" ”

Li Zhong couldn't help but say, "Little brother, don't be rash. Once there is a loss, it will be a catastrophe of raiding the family and exterminating the clan, so be cautious. ”

Li Xin nodded and said, "It's really simple, but it's just such a matter for a while, and you have to plan carefully in the middle." But a fundamental place of oneself must be had, otherwise wherever you go, where you eat, in the end, everyone will starve to death! ”

Li Mu thought for a while before he spoke: "Then let's do this first, if it doesn't work, let's run away, anyway, we've been like this all these years, we have experience." ”

Li Xin smiled and said, "That's right, try it, if it doesn't work, let's talk about it." ”

Li Xin suddenly thought of something, so he asked the homeless man who was still being arrested: "Do you have eyeliner in the city?" ”

The man shook his head and replied, "I don't know, I was notified yesterday that I was going to come out to do business today and have a fat year." The people in the stockade came out with the big dragon head early this morning and went straight to the county seat. ”

Li Xin nodded, all this can be explained, he just left the city here, he was intercepted by these bandits, it turned out that he was targeted by others when he was raising supplies in the city.

They captured these displaced people and continued to advance, and they did not intend to stay for a long time in Zhaohugang, where Li Mu and they settled, but called the people who stayed in the village to go and take down Qiligang together. There are ready-made personnel there, as well as possible supplies, and they can start developing directly after they are occupied.

"This, this general," a border soldier didn't know what to call Li Xin, so he called him the same 'general' as Li Mou, and asked, "The arrows you use are different from the usual ones, and the wrenches you use are also different, right?" ”

"That's right," Li Mu also said curiously: "Your shooting speed is too fast, and I haven't seen the rope sleeve you use to fix the wrench, isn't there anything weird?" ”
