One of the Zhuang Ding archers who was executed was stunned when he heard Shang Zhihe's shouts before he died, and turned his head to look at Yang Yingdong.

Yang Yingdong turned his head to look at the owner standing on a higher place. Seeing that the owner was just staring at this side with an expressionless face, and had no intention of forgiveness, he gave the archer a look.

Shang Zhihyuk closed his eyes tightly, waited a few breaths, and found that he was still alive. The feeling of being out of the world began to fade, and he tried to open his eyes......

The two-handed knife was waved down, and the "click" was followed by the rolling sound of "grunt". Before Shang Zhihe could think of anything, his head was separated from his body forever.

The column of blood spurted up, and the bow and arrow who executed couldn't move his hands, and was finally helped away by the two Zhuang Ding.

Shang Yunfei flew forward at the first moment Shang Zhihe's head fell. He first used a pocket to cover Shang Zhihe's head, then clamped Shang Zhihe's headless body under his armpit, and quickly found a place to stitch it up.

If the body is incomplete, the soul will be incomplete, which will affect the reincarnation of people, which is the attention of the people of the Great Zhou.

Even if you want to be cremated, you have to be in good health.

"This Shang Yunfei is a bit interesting, with clear grievances and well-organized."

Li Xiang noticed that Shang Yunfei had no dissatisfaction with the executioner, Yang Yingdong or himself from beginning to end, and threw cold eyes at the captives from time to time.

Hearing the owner of the village comment on Shang Yunfei, Fang Weiliang next to him hurriedly asked a few young Zhuang Ding to write it down. Several Zhuang Ding were young people who really couldn't stand the bloodshed, and Li Xiang didn't force them, so let these guys turn the text and take a look.

"There are two other martial artists, what did they do?" The owner wants to speed up the progress and solve the problem quickly.

Ding Shihang clenched his fists and replied: "Don't listen to orders and kill prisoners indiscriminately." There was one when the plum blossom was captured, and there was one when the upper kiln was captured. ”

Li Xiang asked the two warriors to be tied up close and asked in a loud voice why the two of them killed the prisoners indiscriminately.

The indiscriminate killing of prisoners is very sensitive, and it is easy to cause a mutiny among the prisoners, not to mention a direct provocation against the leading generals. Whether to kill or not, and how to kill, is something that can only be decided by the main general.

Takefu, who was not far away, stood up one after another. They didn't want to make trouble, but they were more curious, what would Commander Lee do with those two brothers?

The two martial artists who committed the crime kowtowed and cried, saying that Fang Lajun had destroyed their house and land, and killed their entire family, and the content was almost the same.

Li Xiang had a headache for a while. He was holding the Great Zhou Military Law in his hand, and he seemed to be considering the sentence, but in fact, he didn't look at it at all.

Neither allow the captives to see jokes, nor do they punish too lightly. After considering the pros and cons, the owner of the village said his punishment:

"According to the military law of the Great Zhou, this commander should behead the two of you for public display."

"However, the fierce battle has come to this point, and the two of you have a grudge against each other, so it is understandable that you are crazy for a while."

"But the death penalty is forgiven, but the living sin is unforgivable. Three times, three charges at the front, as long as you are alive by then, the crime will be written off. ”

"Casualty compensation, preferential treatment for family members, according to the past!"

First the heart is cold, then the expectation, then the thought, and finally the pure gratitude. Li Xiang's four sentences made the hearts of the martial artists who were watching fluctuate, not to mention the two martial artists who committed the crime.

It took a minute for the two martial artists to understand the meaning of Li Xiang's words. The two big men kowtowed, weeping bitterly and calling "Commander Li merciful" until a few Zhuang Ding told them to go away.

For many martial artists, the most terrible thing now is not to die in battle, but to be killed in a crime: without rewards and pensions, how can the family live?

The martial arts group, who had just felt that Commander Li's insistence on executing him in spite of Shang Zhihe's repentance was somewhat unkind, began to shout slogans such as "Commander Li is merciful" and "Commander Li is lenient" one after another.

The bottom farmer, the bottom warrior, the bottom foot merchant...... But all the bottom groups have very low requirements.

The two troubles were settled.

Li Xiang lay in a hammock, trying to recover as much as he could before the next battle.

"The owner's punishment is wonderful, neither light nor severe, leaving people speechless. In this way, Wufu will have to fight to the death for the owner. Fang Weiliang sighed as he listened to the cheers of the martial artists coming from the west.

Li Xiang shook his head and smiled bitterly, "What's smart?" I don't know how many bad tricks have been used by our ancestors, it's just a bad trick to pick up people's teeth. In my opinion, only the law is better in the army. ”

"By the way, that Shang Zhihe should not be registered as escaping before the formation, but died accidentally."

"All deserters who have seriously repented will do the same, and Zhuang Ding will do the same."

Fang Weiliang nodded again and again.

After two incense sticks, the scouts reported urgently, and a Fangla army of at least 500 people stepped into the mountains and forests.

Li Xiang fixed his heavy helmet and rushed straight to the south with four hundred and fifty people: morale is available, of course, it must be hard to shake head-on!

The number of troops was too small, and Li Xiang could only let more soldiers fight in close combat, striving to break the enemy with one blow. After an emergency selection, Zhuang Ding and Wu Fu combined had less than seventy archers, and the rest were all close combat.

The sword and shield bearers were in front of the archers, the pikemen composed of Zhuang Ding were in the middle, and the short spearmen formed by the warriors were lined up on both sides. Only the bone hand and axe stabber of the upper body armor, of course, were used as reserves.

Li Xiang didn't pause at all, and was stunned to engage the other party: as long as he won a clean victory, his morale would be completely exploded!

The commander of the Fang La military camp, who was sent by Fang Tianding to test him, was shocked, but he was not slow to respond, and immediately ordered the archers in the team to step forward and release their arrows.

The bows and arrows in this Fangla army were very messy, and the average pull of the archers was 70 catties.

On Li Xiang's side, the sword and shield men in the front hurriedly protected themselves and the archers, and everyone in the back leaned forward slightly.

Fang Lajun came down with a few rounds of bows and arrows, and only a dozen people on Li Xiang's side were shot in their hands, feet and legs and lost their combat effectiveness, and one fool looked up at the sky and was shot in the right eye.

After carrying three rounds of arrows, the elite archers on Li Xiang's side, under the protection of the sword and shield hands, began to shoot the archers of Fang Lajun's army quickly and ruthlessly with the straight bows of good quality and uniform standards in their hands.

It is worth mentioning that the average pulling force of Zhuang Ding archers is 80 catties, and the average pulling force of martial arts archers is around 85 catties. Many of the archers selected from the martial arts were from the backbone of the civilian military regiment.

The commander of the battalion surnamed Qi of the Fang Lajun was shocked again. Anyway, the battle was about to be engaged, and he asked the archers to retreat from both sides and draw their swords to fight.

Within a few rounds of shooting, the commander of the battalion surnamed Qi lost sixty archers!

On Li Xiang's side, the archers did not retreat after shooting, but climbed the hills on both sides with the sword and shield men.

The commander of the battalion surnamed Qi of the Fang La army didn't expect the Great Zhou army in front of him to be so cunning, but he had no good way, so he could only send more people and start climbing the mountain as well.

After coming and going, Li Xiang's manpower was a little more than Fang Lajun's. At this time, the main forces of the two sides finally engaged.

The weapons of the soldiers of the Fang La army are not as good as Li Xiang's, and their fighting spirit is not as high as Li Xiang's, and the only thing that can be said to be superior is combat experience.

Zhuang Ding of Mingyuezhuang surpassed the Fang La army too much in training and had less combat experience, but he would never retreat easily. They formed a four-tiered array of guns and moved forward steadily.

Slapping, stabbing, and rotation, Zhuang Ding is like a roller, deeply embedded in the formation of the Fang La army. The performance of the martial artists was much worse, and they were still more accustomed to the combat mode of groups of three or five, and they fought with a lot of momentum but could not keep up with the pace of Zhuang Ding.

On the hills on either side, archers, sword and shield men, and spearmen on both sides were also fighting. The purpose of the warriors on both sides is highly consistent, that is, to harass each other with bows and arrows, but not to be harassed by the other.

After Li Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, he quickly became a little impatient. Wanting to end the battle as quickly as possible, he sent dozens of Bone Hands and Axe Thorns.

What the commander of the battalion surnamed Qi didn't expect, and what Li Xiang didn't expect, was that the battle was instantly one-sided!

In addition to the old foundation and a few elite troops, the troops of the Yongle Dynasty still had many shortcomings, many of which were common to all rebel armies in history. Rushing to run away when the situation is not good is probably the most helpless drawback.

Obviously, he can't defeat the Fang La army on the other side, do you still want to fight? Ran, of course!

The soldiers of the Fangla Army, who had been in close contact a moment ago, suddenly fled like a tide, leaving behind more than 100 corpses and dozens of wounded brothers who fell to the ground.

Li Xiang was stunned for a few breaths, and immediately ordered: "Chase and kill!" But don't take a step out of the woods. ”

The mountains and forests are Li Xiang's home field. Otherwise, with his hundreds of people, it is really not enough to stuff the teeth of the Fang La army under the city of Deqing County.

The head of the battalion commander surnamed Qi was quickly sent to Li Xiang.

Li Xiang nodded, looked at the criminal martial artist who rushed to the front and said, "Very good, with this human head, your remaining two desperate assaults can be spared." ”

"Thank you, Commander!"
