Looking at the letter in his hand, Ye Ying couldn't help but smile bitterly, the imperial court actually looked at the Eagle Society so much, and actually sent the Wild Lion Army, one of the three major iron armies in Daning, to deal with Zi.

"Ye boy, I didn't expect that in such a short period of time, you would actually create such a big foundation. But I like it, the stronger you are, the more I like it. A bearded man looked at a notice in front of him and said with a sinister smile.

At this time, it was close to the end of the year, and Ye Ying did not tell the villagers about the news of the attack of the officers and soldiers again, but only gathered some important leaders in the middle and held a meeting to let them prepare accordingly in advance.

Since defeating the army of the Songzhou battalion, the power of the Flying Eagle Society has been greatly improved, and the nearby Yuhe, Montenegro, and Caoping counties no longer have the ability to compete with the cottages, so they have adopted an attitude of turning a blind eye to the infestation of the Flying Eagle Society.

There was even such a situation, the officials of the three counties knew that there were bandits coming to the county seat to do business, but they also pretended not to know, and allowed the bandits to come and go freely, so as not to annoy the bandits on the mountain, and directly went down the mountain to attack the county seat.

However, even if the bandits of the Flying Eagle Society go down the mountain, they generally will not do anything illegal and undisciplined, let alone bully the common people, which is very reassuring even for the government.

The only people who are afraid of the presence of the Eagle Guild bandits are the merchants and the rich landowners, because the Flying Eagle Guild bandits punish unscrupulous merchants and black-hearted rich people. These people have been able to mix so well for so many years, and they have more or less done some unconscionable things, and they are really afraid that the Flying Eagle will bandits settle the account on their heads one day, because there is a precedent for this.

Under this kind of thinking, those landlords and those merchants have changed their strategies, and when the harvest is bad, they reduce some rents, and the people buy daily necessities such as firewood, rice, oil, and salt, and the prices are lowered.

For these rich people, it is better to earn a little less than to anger the bandits and give you a pot of serving.

And the beneficiaries of these things are all poor people, so the people who have benefited from it have put this kindness on the heads of the Flying Eagle Club bandits.

I don't even know when, in the mouths of the people of several nearby counties, they encountered the phenomenon of bullying others or doing evil. The common people no longer thought about reporting to the official, but said that they would tell the heroes of the Flying Eagle Society, not to mention, this can really scare some people.

The people in the government didn't dare to take care of it, and the people were very supportive, and the bandits of the Flying Eagle Society became much smoother every time they went down the mountain. For example, this time to buy New Year's goods, merchants from all over the country met the Flying Eagle Club bandits, and they all pressed the price to the lowest, and even some people took the initiative to send things to Fuhu Mountain.

The New Year, although Fuhu Mountain is covered with snow, but it can't stop everyone's joyful mood, inside and outside the cottage are full of lights, everyone is happy to meet.

"Iron Flute, don't run around, be careful that your firecrackers blow up people!" Ganxiang chased after a little guy scurrying around, shouting a little anxiously.

After Tie Di arrived at the Flying Eagle Club cottage, Ye Ying always treated him as a younger brother, and specially invited a scholar in the cottage to teach him to read and write. This guy is also smart, he learns things very quickly, and he can never forget them for a long time.

But there is one thing, this guy is too skinny, jumping up and down all day long, often making the cottage restless. Ye Ying generally didn't have much time to take care of him, so Gan Xiang took on the responsibility of taking care of him.

Today, a bandit who had gone down the mountain to buy something brought back a string of firecrackers, but the iron flute was so happy that he took a large group of half-grown children on the mountain and made a lot of noise in the snow.

Ye Ying, who was wearing a thick cotton jacket, stood not far away, and his wife Fan Lingyan was also beside him, and the two looked at the children who were playing in the field with a happy smile on their faces.

A few months ago, because of the issue of treating Chen Zhi's people, the couple had some conflicts of opinion, but it didn't make a big mistake. The two of them did not have an overnight feud, and they tacitly did not mention this matter again.

The Chinese New Year is a happy thing, everyone gets together and chats about happy things. Even Qi Jiao and Shan Fu, who were far away in the Flying Star Valley, came back, and the brothers got together to spend this happy time together, and the upcoming big battle after the year was temporarily forgotten.

However, time also has its cruel side, time passes day by day, and soon even the Lantern Festival has passed, which means that the year is completely over.

And there is a more important thing to remind the cottage people, that is, the new Guangwei general Zeng Yi, with the 30,000 soldiers he carefully selected from the Wild Lion Army, has set foot on the road to the Flying Eagle Society.

According to the information received by the cottage, in addition to the Guangwei general Zeng Yi, the general who served as the vanguard of Zeng Yi Zhaowu in this operation is also Ye Ying's old man, who hated Ye Ying to the bone and drove Ye Ying out of the new barracks through relationships, the former deputy commander of the new barracks, Sima Chi.

Under the operation of the family, Sima Chi successfully took over the position of Zhaowu lieutenant left by Zeng Yi, and found Zeng Yi as soon as possible and took the initiative to participate in this anti-bandit operation. For Sima Chi, this time he went to exterminate the Flying Eagle Society, and his military exploits were secondary, and the most important thing was that he wanted to kill Ye Ying with his own hands.

Sima Chi has been looking for Ye Ying's traces all these years, and for this guy who doesn't know how to lift, Sima Chi has always wanted to give him some color. What's more, if he avenges Sima Mingyu, then his status in the family will be greatly improved, and no one will look down on him as a side child at that time.

Folding Sima Mingyu dealt a great blow to the Sima family, and in last year's big competition of the young generation in Jinling City, the Sima family even ranked last in the six major families because of the lack of Sima Mingyu, the core disciple of the key training.

This incident made the elders of the Sima family angry and angry, and they hated Ye Ying who killed Ma Mingyu, and the patriarch announced in the family that if anyone in the family killed Ye Ying, he could be trained as a core disciple of the Sima family.

It was for these reasons that Sima Chi took the initiative to get the messenger of this vanguard, and as soon as the team started, he came non-stop towards Fuhu Mountain, where the Flying Eagle Society was located.

In Sima Chi's opinion, the Flying Eagle Society is just a group of bandits composed of peasants, and they can't compete with the Crazy Lion Army, one of the three major iron armies in Daning, and the credit for killing Ye Ying must not fall on other people's heads.

"My lord, there is the Wutuo River in front, after crossing this river, we can reach Fuhu Mountain, or we will set up camp by this river today." As he was walking, a young general came to Sima Chi and bowed to him.

This young general is Zhao Hu, after Ye Ying left the new barracks, Sima Chi threw an olive branch to Zhao Hu, and this Zhao Hu was quite acquainted and soon joined the camp of the Sima family.

This Zhao Hu has a calm personality and a strong ability to deal with things, and he quickly gained the trust of Sima Chi, and has made a lot of contributions to the Sima family over the years, but of course he can't stand the cultivation of the Sima family.

With the help of the rich resources of the Sima family, Zhao Hu's kung fu has progressed rapidly, and he is now a martial artist in the third grade, and he has become the battalion commander of the Endeavor Battalion, and he can be regarded as a figure with some real power in the army.

"Okay, let's set up camp by the river today, have a good rest, and rush to Fuhu Mountain tomorrow with full spirit." After listening to Zhao Hu's suggestion, Sima Chi readily agreed.

"Okay lord, I'll ask my brothers to find more boats in the nearby villages, and then find a few experienced old people to understand the situation in this river, so that we can cross the river quickly and smoothly." Zhao Hu said another word to Sima Chi, and then turned around and left.

Looking at the figure of Zhao Hu leaving, Sima Chi showed a look of relief on his face, and there was a hint of pride.

In the past two years, because Zhao Hu and Sima Chi were too close, even Qi Jiao, Shan Fu and others, who had a good relationship with him before, had opinions and began to alienate Zhao Hu.

And this situation made Sima Chi very satisfied, under this kind of betrayal and separation, Zhao Hu would rely more on the Sima family, so that he could firmly control this talented young man in his hands.

Of course, Sima Chi reused Zhao Hu, and there was another more important reason, that is, he and Ye Ying grew up together since childhood, and they knew Ye Ying well, which was a good help for his actions to get rid of Ye Ying.

In order to better envelop Zhao Hu, Sima Chi even asked people to buy a house for Zhao Hu in Jinling and took his parents from the backing village. Of course, there is another reason for this, that is, Zhao Hu can be better controlled in his own hands.

The next day, shortly after dawn, Sima Chi ignored the fact that there was still a strong wind blowing on the river, and ordered the whole army to march and prepare to cross the Wutuo River as fast as possible, and then rush to Fuhu Mountain.

The water surface of the Wutuo River is very wide, and the green trees and red flowers on both sides and the white clouds dotted in the blue sky have become a beautiful picture of water and sky under the reflection of the river.

But at this time, Sima Chi didn't have the time to appreciate this rare beauty, his mind was all about quickly rushing to Fuhu Mountain and capturing the Flying Eagle to kill Ye Ying with his own hands.

"Hahaha...... Hahaha...... "Seeing that the boat had crossed the center of the river, and it was only a stone's throw away from the other side of the river, Sima Chi didn't know what he thought, and suddenly laughed.

"General, why are you laughing?" Several generals on the side couldn't help but smile curiously when they saw Sima Chi's appearance.

"I laughed at Ye Ying's lack of wisdom, and Zhuge Ying was just an empty name. If we use our troops to lay an ambush on the other side of the river, and when we reach the center of the river, we will attack halfway through, and our army will suffer heavy losses. Sima Chi turned his head to look at the generals and smiled proudly.

"The general is really wise, we will fight with the general, and we will definitely be invincible." Listening to Sima Chi's words, a general on the side laughed and brought up a string of sycophants.

However, God seemed to be waiting to slap Sima Chi in the face, and as soon as Sima Chi's words fell, a large number of people suddenly appeared on the opposite bank of the river, which had not moved. These people are dressed differently, and their images are tall, short, fat, thin, men, women, and children.

Looking at their weapons, they are also varied, and from these signs, it is not difficult for everyone to judge that these people who came are a group of bandits.

After these bandits appeared, they did not say any hello to the officers and soldiers in Jiangzhong, and directly began to attack.

Rows of long arrows were fired, throwing spears were thrown one by one, and torches stained with tung oil. What made the officers and men in Jiangzhong feel even more terrifying was that these bandits actually had catapults and forcible horses.

The officers and soldiers who had not yet reacted immediately became the targets of the bandits' attacks, and it was impossible for the screams and shouts to quickly become one.

Some officers and soldiers sat on the boat with long arrows in their bodies and groaned in pain; And those who were shot by a strong crossbow were shot through the body almost at once; The one who was on fire on his body couldn't bear it and simply jumped into the river...... The worst was shot by those throwing guns, and he could only convulse and wait for death.

"Turn the bow of the boat, turn the bow of the boat, and quickly withdraw ......" Sima Chi no longer had the leisurely complacent he had just now, and he shouted hoarsely, with a hideous look in his eyes.
