Chapter 42: Destroy the Bandits
After half a month of training in the mountains, Zhao Yuan's cultivation has reached the late stage of martial arts, and it is not far from consummation.
In the Manniu Mountain, there are only more than 300 martial artists, where can they stop the Black Nightmare Army, which is composed of all the strong men in the late stage of the martial arts.
Zhao Yuan took three hundred people to shoot three rounds of arrows, and Zhao Jing led the army to rush up, this is a war of unequal strength.
"Phantom Arrow. ”
The arrows in Zhao Yuan's hands did not stop, and although it was painful to rush up and slash, however, if the gentleman did not stand under the dangerous wall, it was difficult to defend against cold arrows on the battlefield.
With the Black Nightmare Army on his side to protect him, Zhao Yuan picked up the Qinglong Knife, and his movements were not as fast as the Black Nightmare Army, and it was only in vain to rush forward, but he wanted to distract the people around him.
The phantom arrow method was fast, and Zhao Yuan looked at the six roads, and quickly harvested dozens of heads.
These people had already developed bad habits, and Zhao Yuan did not have a soft heart to recruit them.
The eighteen states of Zhao State, with a population of hundreds of millions, once these bandits let them go, the court will be slightly unstable, and they will gather again, repeatedly, which will only consume the vitality of the court.
After the battle, these bandits really realized that the strength of the imperial court army was not something they could defeat at all, and many bandits saw that the situation was not right, and they turned around and wanted to flee.
There are many forests around Manniu Mountain, and when the bandits drill into the mountains, it is often difficult to catch them, and as soon as the imperial army leaves, they will come out to make a fortune.
"Don't let anyone go. Zhao Yuan shouted loudly and slapped his horse to chase after those who fled.
The Black Nightmare Army sent out 800 men to shoot those who wanted to escape, and the bandits didn't have much struggle, and there was not much left.
In the sky, Old Chen forced Di Yun to the sky above the mountains and forests, and shouted: "Just be captured, otherwise, the old man will be killed." ”
Di Yun didn't know the arrangement of the high-level of the sect, and he didn't know that the old man in front of him was already showing mercy under his hands, and the anger in his heart was hard to quench when he watched the people he had worked so hard to cultivate fall apart by the imperial army.
"Old horseman, look at the gun. Di Yun circled the gun in the air in his hand, and performed a stunt.
"The wind is thundering. The spear stirred up the wind and clouds, and a hurricane carried thunder and lightning to Chen Lao's chest.
"Dual-attribute martial arts, good physique, few people in the same level can defeat you. ”
Old Chen said in his mouth, but the movements in his hands were not slow, although he couldn't kill this person, it was okay to hurt him.
"Flame Slash. ”
The sword light was like a stream of fire, slashing into the hurricane, a roar sounded, and Di Yun's attack collapsed directly.
The sword light was also annihilated in the chaos of vitality, and the two of them did not take advantage of anyone this time.
However, the blow just now was just an ordinary martial art played by Chen Lao, and his knife moved again, and a knife that condensed the artistic conception appeared.
Di Yun's heart was shocked, his eyes were full of sword light, and he found that he had nowhere to hide.
The sword intent suppressed his thoughts, affecting Di Yun's consciousness and reactions, and the sword light fell on his body, and he flew out upside down in an instant, smashing into the mountain.
......
"Good man, I surrender. ”
After the big war, Jiang Xiaoyi, the big boss of Manniu Mountain, was targeted by Zhao Jing, and as soon as he fought, the master was repelled by Zhao Jing with a shot, and he was suddenly frightened and wanted to escape.
"It's late. ”
Where would Zhao Jing agree, the gun in his hand clicked three times in a row, and he stabbed him in the head with one shot.
As soon as the bandit boss died, the other bandits had no resistance, and the war ended soon.
In the cottage, there are many women and children, and there are also many men who do not have much talent for cultivation.
Zhao Yuan looked at the frightened appearance of those people and shouted: "Those who rob houses and rob houses, kill, and those who rape and captive, kill." The court has its own laws, and whoever dares to disobey the laws and disciplines of the court will be killed. ”
Chivalry is forbidden by force, and these people have strong force, so they want to ride on the heads of others to make a fortune.
All the materials looted by the bandits were collected by Zhao Yuan into Qiankun bags, and these materials were rich in gold and silver cloth, which could improve the economy of the Hou Mansion.
Zhao Yuan didn't have much money, and all the soldiers under his command were raised by the imperial court, so he didn't have to pay for it.
The Black Nightmare Army returned to Black Dragon City to rest, and Zhao Yuan came to the barracks alone.
Liu Kaifang was practicing martial arts in the backyard of the General's Mansion, and was a little surprised by his arrival.
Liu Kaifang said: "Today, I heard a report from my subordinates, you sent troops?"
Zhao Yuan nodded and said, "General, the bandits of Manniu Mountain have been wiped out by me, and even one of the mountain kings in Luo Yu Mountain has been defeated by the strong man I recruited. ”
Liu Kaifang's expression was shocked, and he said: "Your Highness, the matter of the bandits can be slowly figured out, if you are sharp, it will cause unnecessary trouble." ”
Zhao Yuan was full of spirits and said: "Since my father ordered me to exterminate the bandits, I can't let it go, thank you for the reminder of the general, and on the day I am crowned king, I will invite the general to a banquet." ”
"Since Your Highness already has a plan, I won't say much, just take care of this matter yourself. ”
Liu Kaifang said, frowning and said: "Your Highness, the army of the Qin State is going east, and Your Majesty has decided to drive the expedition in person, and when the time comes, you may let some princes accompany you to observe your ability to lead the army, Your Highness should be prepared." ”
Zhao Yuan asked with concern, "When is it?"
His mansion is still very weak, and if he leaves now, he can't guarantee that nothing will happen to the people in the mansion.
Zhao Yuan could take them back to the capital, but if this was the case, Fu Qingya's secret of being able to cultivate would not be kept, and when the time came, she was afraid that she would have to return to the Ziyang Sect.
Fu Qingya had the potential to break through the Martial Sect, and once she left, the Purple Yang Sect would not let her return to Clear Water City.
Liu Kaifang said: "When the big war will break out, I can't guess for sure, now the movements of the Qin army are still unknown, you can be ready, as soon as a month." ”
The armies of the two countries sometimes face each other for years or decades, or they may suddenly fight.
Liu Kaifang reminded again: "Some of the main people in the Nanjun Royal Mansion have disappeared, Your Highness, you have to be careful in the future." ”
Zhao Yuandao: "Do you know where they went?"
"There is news that Zhao Kai has taken refuge in His Royal Highness the Prince, and I am afraid that he has joined the Prince's Mansion. ”
Zhao State is the world of these Zhao clansmen, and there are many people on the road compared to other people.
Once the royal palace falls, they often choose to defect to other forces, so as to avoid themselves being faded out of the royal family.
Zhao Yuan quickly said goodbye and left.
Liu Kaifang looked at his back and said secretly: "Your Majesty uses Zhao Yuan to set up chess to solve the bandits in Nanjun, and Xiao Tianxiong is also using Zhao Yuan to control the imperial army, so as to control the imperial court, it depends on who is better at chess." ”
In Liu Kaifang's opinion, Zhao Yuan is no longer the royal highness who came out of the palace.
Zhao Yuan's strength, Liu Kaifang could see it, except for the autopsy and rebirth of those strong people in the Heavenly Master Dao, who could cultivate so quickly.
......
The Black Nightmare rested outside Black Dragon City for an hour, then vanished before dark.
In order to prevent the bandits from escaping, Zhao Yuan led the army to march at night and went all the way south to Jinji Ridge.
With Chen Lao here, he is not worried about meeting powerful demon beasts on the road.
Although Chen Lao is strong, Zhao Yuan will not let him destroy those bandits alone, he is not sincere to himself, if he relies on him, he doesn't know how many of these bandits will run away.
Perhaps, when he took a trip, those bandits were worshipped, they chose to submit to the court on the surface, but in fact they were still doing the acts of bandits.
Once these bandits nominally submitted to the court, they could not be so justifiably exterminated in the future.
Zhao Yuan chose to personally lead the troops to exterminate the bandits, so that he could better obtain the approval of his father, and in the future, he would be able to block the mouths of many people.
Even if he is a chess piece, he has to work hard to strengthen his strength and power so that he can protect the people around him in the future.
But in an hour, Zhao Yuan's army came to Jinji Ridge, the night was hazy, the thieves in the cottage did not find it at all, and the Black Nightmare army in the woods quietly approached the cottage.
The strength of the bandits in Jinji Ridge is about the same as that of Manniu Mountain, except that there are two more great martial artists, and there are more than 100 martial artists.
However, this bit of strength, compared with the people brought by Zhao Yuan, is still very fragile.
Manniu Mountain has been breached, and the bandits in Jinjiling have received the news, even if it is night, they have arranged for many people to stand guard.
It's just that in the face of the sneak attack of the Black Nightmare Army, these sentry men didn't even make a sound, and they fell down one by one.
By the time the bandit leaders in the main hall reacted and found that the situation of the cottage was wrong, they had already suffered heavy losses, and more than half of the bandits had died.
"Kill. The shouts of killing sounded, and in the dark night, there was a burst of swords and swords.
Soon, the cottage quieted down, and the 13,000 bandits were wiped out by the Black Nightmare Army in less than a quarter of an hour.
Zhao Yuan ordered the army to rest on Jinji Ridge, and before tomorrow morning, it was enough to rush to Luojia Town.
The last bandit stronghold, its strength is stronger than that of Manniu Mountain and Jinjiling combined, they have established a city, with an army of nearly 30,000 people, and there are several great martial artists.
If there was no Chen Lao, without Xiao Tianxiong's secret arrangement, Zhao Yuan would not dare to attack rashly.
These bandits have existed for hundreds of years, and Zhao Yuan has dragged on for ten or eight years, and there is no problem, but he won't do that.
After all, he is the prince of Zhao State, even if he is abandoned, Zhao Yuan wants to turn things around and kill a piece of the world.
"Emperor, how unattainable it was once that in the future, it will definitely belong to me. The thought flashed in Zhao Yuan's mind, and it was extinguished.
He sat cross-legged in the thief's hall and began to cultivate the Cave Heavenly Scripture.
