The bandits have been busy all the time, from the sun to the sunset.

When the last ray of afterglow dissipated, the walled gate was rebuilt, the Avenue of Stars was leveled, and the beans were also collected.

During this period, I communicated with the banshee Chen Yang, and learned that she was originally a junior female official of the royal guard of the Qinglong Kingdom, because she was repeatedly harassed by her boss, she was unbearable, and she killed her boss in anger and committed a capital crime, so she had to escape from the imperial city and went to the vast Cuiping Mountain twenty miles north of the imperial city.

After the banshee Chen Yang went up the mountain, with her own strength, she became the female king, since then, the expansion of soldiers and horses, iron training, has become an armed force, the imperial city officials and troops have come to suppress bandits several times, the two sides have won and lost each other, the black wind village has never changed hands by virtue of the dangerous terrain, however, because the banshee Chen Yang's command ability is really limited, the number of bandits of 5,000 people at the peak, after several battles, only this thousand people remained.

"Defending to the death is not a way," Ma Yu listened to and clearly pointed out, "The flickering tactics at noon can only be used once, that Zhu Ziming will be removed from his post when he goes back, and he will be replaced by another wave of people to attack the mountain, and if he attacks strongly, we will definitely not be able to hold it." ”

"And what do you think we should do?" Banshee Chen Yang asked.

"Either move to a place far away from the imperial city, or go into the mountains behind to fight guerrillas." Ma Yu said.

The banshee Chen Yang pursed her lips and was silent, as if she was not very satisfied with these two methods.

"There's another way." I say.

They both looked at me at the same time.

"What way?" Banshee Chen Yang asked.

"Your thousand people, all veterans who have survived the battlefield for a long time, are very combative, and now, the countries of the demon world are constantly fighting large and small, what is the most lacking? It's instant combat power, my lord, can you think about turning these thousand brothers into a mercenary army? I said.

"Mercenaries? What is that? Banshee Chen Yang was puzzled, maybe there was no concept of mercenaries in the demon world.

"It's someone else who spends money and hires you to fight." Ma Yu explained.

"That way," I continued, "you can take care of your livelihood and no longer have to plunder the villages, or go up to the mountains to hunt." ”

Banshee Chen Yang thought for a while: "If you participate in the field battle, you will die a lot of people, right?" ”

I took Ma Yu's hand, and then took the hand of the banshee Chen Yang, combined the two into one, and said with a smile: "The combination of two swords, invincible, invincible, invincible, fighting for honor, is better than you occupying the mountain as the king and worrying all day long, right?" ”

They are bandits, even if they are edicted by the Qinglong Kingdom, they will not end well, see Water Margin.

"Don't worry, my lord, I am confident that I will lead you to fight a piece of your own world, and minimize the battle damage." Ma Yu said with certainty.

"Moreover, I don't want you to go to the battlefield right away," I added, "My lord, I suggest that you join the Xuanwu Kingdom first, the border land, the war is not tight, and you can also let the Ma Junshi help you train your soldiers for a period of time, improve your combat effectiveness and the level of weapons and equipment, so that you can increase the survival rate of your brothers on the battlefield." ”

Banshee Chen Yang, moved by what I said, pondered for a moment, and nodded: "Then listen to you, do you know the people of Xuanwu Kingdom?" ”

"General Xuanwu Guozhen Nanda, Yuchi Nimabi, is my good friend, I can let him hire you." I say.

The banshee nodded: "If there are acquaintances, I will be relieved." ”

"Since you have decided to take refuge in Xuanwu, will you still fight tonight's battle?" Ma Yu asked me.

"If the Qinglong Army attacks at night tonight, it will have to be fought," the banshee Chen Yang frowned and said, "If we migrate to the Xuanwu Kingdom in the north, we will inevitably pass through the Qingqing Grassland, which is the largest grassland in the Qinglong Country, the area is too large, and it will take a day or two nights to pass, and if we are discovered by the cavalry of the Qinglong Army, if we bite our tails, it will be troublesome." ”

Ma Yu nodded and waved his small fist: "Then fight this battle, so that they don't dare to come within three days." ”

"King, I want to inquire about something." After discussing the war, I said to the banshee Chen Yang.

I won't go to the Xuanwu Kingdom with them, at most I will write a letter of introduction to Yuchi Nyimab, and I will have to find a portal.

"Excuse me."

I talked about the main portal, coincidentally, when the banshee Chen Yang was a junior officer of the Royal Guards before, he had really heard of it, the portal was called the Jade Void Palace, on a mountain three hundred miles south of the Qinglong Imperial City, it was heavily guarded, I don't know why, their Royal Guards would also regularly send personnel to the Jade Void Palace to change their defenses, but Chen Yang himself had not been there.

"According to legend, it was a portal that was transformed into a real person named Yuxu decades ago after his death, and the real person of Yuxu was extremely powerful, and he was the great master of the Qinglong Kingdom at that time." Banshee Chen Yang introduced that she only knew so much.

It's enough, just know the location, find the location, and then find a way to turn him off, since there are heavy soldiers, then I can only mix in, not enter, even if I want to fight, the thousand people in Heifeng Village, fighting in the field, are not enough for the Qinglong Army to plug the teeth.

I thought about it a lot, and decided to send these bandits to the Xuanwu Kingdom first, and leave Ma Yu by my side.

If it is really necessary to attack, to fight the Jade Void Palace, it is necessary to use the army of the White Tiger Country (closing the portal is in the interests of the White Tiger Country, they will definitely help, once the 200,000 demons of the Yang Realm join the Blue Dragon Army, the White Tiger Country will be defeated), and in terms of command, it will have to rely on the Ma Military Division.

Let's finish tonight's battle first, and then let's talk about it.

When night fell, the banshee Chen Yang simply entertained us, but he didn't dare to drink, and the bandits were all packing up and preparing to run away at any time.

At about eight o'clock in the evening, the sentry who had been released in advance suddenly reported that about 3,000 light cavalry had come out of the imperial city, without raising flags or torches, and had come this way, and it might be a sneak attack.

"Cavalry?" Ma Yu smiled, "Cavalry is easier to fight than infantry. ”

There is a moon tonight, and Ma Yu ordered to extinguish all the torches in the cottage, brake quietly, and wait for the enemy to attack.

This time, you can't rely on fooling, and you have to do a real job to defeat them.

We came to the gate tower of the reconstructed cottage city, the bandits had already returned the moon in the well and the soul chasing whip to me, and the telescope was also put to use, and when I raised the mirror, I couldn't see it, because between the imperial city and the small plain, there was still a forest.

After waiting for about five minutes, I noticed that in the woods, there were birds startling from time to time.

"Here we are." I say.

"Prepare for war." Banshee Chen Yang ordered in a low voice, and the thieves returned to their respective positions according to the plan specified by Ma Yu before.

After waiting for a few more minutes, at last, the first cavalry appeared from the woods, all light cavalry, very fast, the horses had no armor, and the riders wore only leather armor, and they ran like this, and the sound was very light, unlike the heavy cavalry, which ran with a clanging clang, and could be heard several miles away.

Columns of light cavalry, emerging from the woods, were well maintained.

"Is it three thousand?" I asked Ma Yu, I can't count, I don't know how she counts, it's always so fast, because each column is just neat, and the number of people is not the same.

After waiting for a while, when the last column of cavalry appeared on the small plain, Ma Yu said with certainty: "Three thousand two hundred and forty people." ”

"No problem, right?" I asked again.

"It should be able to annihilate half of it." Ma Yu said confidently.

As he spoke, the vanguard of the cavalry had reached the center of the small plain, and they began to change their formation, from a phalanx to an arrow-shaped wedge-shaped triangular formation, and the arrows naturally pointed to the Avenue of Stars outside the cottage.

Soon, the arrow came to the foot of the mountain, and without pause, rushed directly up the hillside, it seemingly, to be tough on the front.

"Hit?" Banshee Chen Yang asked.

"Don't worry, they don't have bows and arrows, put them under the stockade and fight again."

In just half a minute, the cavalry arrows rushed to the gate of the cottage and came to the front of the bean sack position, the two sides were very close, with the help of the moonlight, I could even see the long eyelashes under the helmet of the first cavalry, it was a female general, with a delicate appearance, and her eyes were full of killing intent.

She raised her head, and also saw us on the tower of the city gate, her face was unusually calm, she drew her sword, and swung forward, and the cavalry behind her dismounted one after another, ready to attack the city.

The new wall, higher than the original, about four or five meters, if the Qinglong Army wants to climb in, it is estimated that they have to build a ladder, they really did the same, the first row of soldiers crossed the Meirendou sack bunker, rushed to the bottom of the wall, a group of four, squatted down, and gave the people behind them a step.

The two soldiers in the second row stepped on the shoulders of the four soldiers in front of them and also squatted, and the last soldier stepped on the shoulders of the two in the middle, and the five people below got up at the same time, three layers of arhats, and lifted the top soldier up, his hand just enough to reach the top of the cottage wall.

But as soon as these wall-climbing soldiers showed their heads, they were attacked by the bandits who were lying in ambush on the inside of the battlements on the top of the wall, and they were all beaten down with sticks.

There are many soldiers in Qinglong, and it is only the top soldier who hits, and it does not affect the human ladder below, and the follow-up cavalry saw that they did not attack, they dismounted and continued to climb to the city, the female general stood there on horseback, towering and not moving, our three commanders also stood on the city gate tower with their hands behind their backs, the two sides looked at each other, and did not speak, the distance was only ten meters away, and the atmosphere was a little embarrassing.

"Senior, do you want to her?" Ma Yu asked me suddenly.

"There's no need," I frowned, "she's just a leader, the enemy's battle plan has long been formulated, and the soldiers are just responsible for executing it, with or without her." ”

"Hehe, I see, you are reluctant to see people's parents beautiful, right?" Ma Yu said with a smile.

I didn't deny it, she was really good-looking.

The attack of the Qinglong Army continued, and it was beaten down for several rounds, but the latecomers were still heroic, and continued to charge, and after the battle lasted for five minutes, finally a few Qinglong Army climbed to the top of the walled gate, and fought hand-to-hand with the bandits guarding the wall, although these are cavalry, after all, they are also professional soldiers, and compared with the bandits with rich combat experience, the melee ability is not inferior.

"And then what?" I asked Ma Yu with a smile, "It's been captured, right?" ”

"Hehe, this is just the beginning." Ma Yu sneered and waved his hand to the thieves in the village, I knew that there was a mechanism in the wall, but I didn't know what it was, I didn't go in to see it, so I lay on the battlement and looked down.

Through the cracks in the ladder of the Qinglong Army, I saw that several cracks suddenly appeared on the wall, from the cracks, many large knives more than two meters long poked out, like the blades of an electric fan, began to rotate at high speed (there are mechanical devices in the wall), the strength of the blade was very great, and in an instant, all the wall soldiers in the bottom row were cut off, and the ladder above had no foundation, and naturally they all fell down.

The small number of Qinglong troops stranded on the top of the wall, seeing that they had no support, fought and retreated, they were either hacked to death by bandits, or jumped off the city wall in a panic, and were beheaded to death by a long knife, which was simply too brutal......
