Chapter 254: First Strike

The black-clothed guard has a large amount of silver in his account, and he will naturally do his best to meet some of Jiang Long's requirements.

Thinking that one day Jiang Long could help come up with a good idea that could make a lot of money.

Pingluo Mountain, surrounded by peaks, dense forests, the highest peak is steep and surprisingly straight into the sky.

In the mountains are several powerful bandits.

Some of the bandits will change their leaders from time to time, and there will be some chaos inside.

Only the most mysterious one, located in the deeper part of the mountain, has always been very calm.

At least on the surface, it's calm.

This horse bandit rarely goes out to the mountains to plunder, but as long as he goes out, he will definitely have a big harvest, and he never misses a beat.

On this day, in the spacious and bright gathering hall of the bandits' den, most of the leaders gathered together.

Sitting on the throne was an old man with a strong body and gray hair, the old man was wearing a brocade robe, his face was majestic and rough, and he said: "Recently, the imperial court will send a large army of military horses to encircle and suppress Pingluo Mountain, and the number of eyeliners outside is estimated to be no less than 50,000.

Tell me, what do you think? ”

"Naturally, the soldiers will come to block it, and the water will flood the earth." The second leader is also burly, with a large handful of unkempt gray beards, he and the big leader have always been at odds, in private, the relationship between the two is tense, so he said perfunctorily.

The three leaders wore a square scarf on their heads, although they were also old, but they were more like a Confucian who had read poetry and books, glanced at the two leaders, frowned, and said: "In the past, the imperial court also sent troops to encircle and suppress, but most of them were for a look, Pingluo Mountain is high and dense, we are familiar with the terrain, hide in it, they can't find it at all."

But I heard that there seems to be something unusual about a few bandit dens nearby? ”

"Oh?" The four leaders were surprised, "What anomaly?" ”

The fifth leader also looked at it curiously, although his figure was not as strong as that of the big leader and the second leader, but he was open and had thick black hair on his chest, which made him even more savage.

"Knowing that the imperial court will send military horses to encircle and suppress, they are not nervous at all, and they will often send people to our territory to investigate." The three leaders said slowly: "Every once in a while, there are carrier pigeons flying out of those thieves' dens.

As for who the message was delivered and what kind of message was delivered, it is not clear. ”

When everyone in the hall heard this, they were all thoughtful.

"Fang'er, what do you think?" The second leader suddenly looked at a young man sitting below.

The young man known as Fang Er is polite and very handsome, but his facial features are slightly feminine, and his voice is more delicate, so he first got up and bowed politely to the seniors above, and then said: "Sun Er can't see what the purpose of these horse bandits is for the time being, but we must be on guard, and we should always pay attention to their movements."

As for the imperial court, we must always pay attention to it, and wait to find out how many military horses the imperial court will send, and then make arrangements for discussion. ”

"Fang Er is right! Those horse bandits are not fuel-efficient lamps, and several leaders are also quite scheming and forceful, otherwise they would have been extinguished by the imperial court seven or eight times. Hearing this, the six leaders nodded slightly.

"Not bad what? If you say it, you don't say it! ”

The Seven Leaders suddenly snorted coldly, "Who doesn't know that you have to pay attention to the Dao and take precautions?" Even if we don't know that the Imperial Court will send people to encircle and suppress it, we don't dare to be careless on weekdays, and now we just want to hear what conjectures you have. ”

After the voice landed, the young man known as Fang Er blushed and lowered his head.

The second leader glared at the seven leaders dissatisfied.

The seven leaders glared back.

The big leader sitting at the top ignored the two of them, and moved his gaze to a young man below who was also handsome but had a masculine face.

At first, the young man pretended not to see it.

But the hall was quiet, and everyone saw the abnormality of the big leader.

He followed the gaze of the Great Leader to the young man.

The young man had no choice but to stand up, first to give a salute to his seniors, and then to say: "It's not been a day or two that the imperial court wants to get rid of us, and as the situation in the capital becomes chaotic, the emperor can't wait even more." ”

Referring to the chaotic situation in the capital, a smile appeared on the young man's face.

I really didn't expect that stinky boy to have this ability......

The young man retracted his thoughts and continued: "So this time the imperial court sent military horses into the mountains to encircle and suppress, it should have made up its mind to destroy us!" ”

Hearing this, everyone in the hall talked in a low voice and talked about it.

"Although they have always regarded us as a heart disease, they also know that it is impossible to do anything to us with only the imperial court military horses."

"You mean those horse bandits have colluded with the imperial court?" The young man known as Fang Er suddenly exclaimed.

The young man nodded lightly and continued: "Those horse bandits, like us, are also very familiar with the terrain in the mountains, with their help, plus the large number of soldiers and horses in the imperial court, we are really not able to deal with it. ”

When everyone heard this, their expressions became solemn.

"As for how to win over those horse bandits, it is nothing more than promising a high position and rewarding money and beauties, but these favors can move people's hearts the most."

After listening to the young man's words, everyone again whispered to discuss.

"It's just your own speculation." The second leader was not convinced, and snorted coldly.

"Yes, that's really just my personal guess." After the young man finished speaking, he sat back down.

The big leader retracted his gaze at the young man at this time, and said in a deep voice: "Although it is just a guess, but if it is really expected, we have not discussed the countermeasures in advance, we will definitely suffer a big loss, if the imperial court and those horse bandits are thoughtful, it will not be difficult to destroy us." ”

"What the eldest brother said is extremely true." The three chiefs chimed in.

The reason why they can sit firmly on Pingluo Mountain is that they are familiar with the terrain.

If you can't beat it, just run!

The imperial court soldiers and horses could not catch up and could not find them.

But it would have been bad if the rest of the bandits had cooperated with the imperial court, leading the way and setting up traps and barricades in some areas in advance.

After all, the imperial court was strong and strong, and it had a large numerical advantage.

Confrontation head-on is far from being something that a bandit den can resist.

The second leader was still not convinced, but he didn't say anything more.

The rest of the leaders were glaring at each other.

Some of these leaders have a good relationship with the big leader, and some have a deep relationship with the second leader, while the young man named Fang Er and another young man are the most powerful contenders for the next big leader.

But when discussing major matters at the moment, we can't be selfish.

Otherwise, the wrong decision may lead to the entire bandit den being pacified by the imperial court.

Therefore, even the second leader no longer refuted it.

The Great Leader's gaze looked around below, "Now let's discuss how to deal with it." ”

Everyone, with their own suggestions.

In the end, it was unanimously decided to take a wait-and-see attitude towards the imperial court for the time being.

And the horse bandits around......

That night, only a hundred people were left in the house to guard the village.

The rest of the men and horses took their weapons and put on iron armor and slaughtered the surrounding bandits.

The horse bandit next to him was attacked and killed by surprise.

During the night, many people died in drunken dreams and with sharp weapons.

At noon the next day, the remnants of a group of horse bandits fled on the path between the mountains and forests, because they were defenseless, so these horse bandits did not come last night and found their mounts, so they could only flee on foot.

Suddenly, there was the sound of horses' hooves beating like a drum behind him.

The bandits looked desperate.

The sound of horses' hooves seemed to trample on their heartbeats, making them turn pale one by one.

Running wildly, but two legs can't outrun four legs.

After a while, a torrent of steel caught up from behind.

Leading his men in pursuit was the handsome and masculine young man, dressed in silver armor, shining blindingly in the sunlight, and holding a purple spear in his hand.

Seeing that he had caught up, the young man lifted the reins of the horse, sat down and raised the front hooves of the horse, and suddenly stopped.

The fleeing thieves stood up in several rows at this time, holding weapons and trying to resist stubbornly.

"Boss Cao, come out." Immediately, the young man said coldly.

Among the thieves, a strong man with a big beard and a fierce appearance came out, and the strong man said angrily: "You have deceived people too much this time, and you actually led people to take away my cottage!" ”

"You're killing yourself!" The young man's cold gaze moved to the strong man's body.

Although Zhuang Liu has a fierce appearance, when he sees the opposite team, he actually has no confidence at all.

The pursuers in front of him are all wearing a full set of armor!

Is this still a horse bandit?

Even the elite frontier troops were not so well equipped.

Finally, Boss Cao understood that the court would win him over for what reason, and promised him a high position, just to be able to destroy the mysterious bandits.

These bandits are obviously not simple bandits and horse bandits.

With such a complete armor and a mount divine horse, I am afraid that I already have the ability to rebel!

Boss Cao did not regret cooperating with the imperial court at this time, after all, people live all their lives, isn't it just for power, money, and beauty?

He was just resentful, and the envoys sent by the imperial court did not confess to him.

knew that the mysterious horse bandit was powerful, and he would not be careless to be attacked.

And if you rely on the cottage to defend, it is definitely not so easy for the opponent to face the cottage directly.

Boss Cao glanced behind him and roughly counted that there were only fifty or sixty subordinates on his side, which was not enough for the opponent to charge in one round.

So he eased his face and said: "That's it, no matter who admits wrong, in short, I am losing, winning for the king and losing for the villain!"

The cottage belongs to you, I just ask you to spare my life. ”

"Do you think I'll do that kind of thing?" The youth sneered.

For the surrounding horse bandits, the young man was originally not in his eyes, but if the other party colluded with the imperial court, he would not be able to stay alive.

What I am afraid of is that these people will lead the way for the imperial court military horses.

When the family escapes into the mountains, they will also be chased by the people of the imperial court.

"Be a man and leave a line, don't do things too badly!" Boss Cao was frightened, his legs trembled a little, and he said angrily.

"Cutting grass naturally has to be eradicated!"

"That's it, you want to take my life as you want, I just ask you to spare my brothers......" Boss Cao lowered his head, as if to give up resistance, in exchange for the chance to live for his subordinates.

Many thieves who ran all night and were extremely embarrassed were moved when they heard this.

The young man glanced at Boss Cao with disdain, he was already dying, and he still wanted to win people's hearts and give you a back?

There was no more nonsense, the young man waved his hand, and his soldiers and horses were killed in an instant.

"You're too ruthless!" Boss Cao shouted in a panic: "Everyone has seen it, the other party doesn't give us a chance to live at all, pick up arms and kill!" ”

The thieves resisted, but they were no match for the opposing sergeant.

Boss Cao took advantage of the chaos and ran to the side.

But I didn't see that the young man had an extra hard bow in his hand!
