Imperial Capital Chapter 196 Siege from the Mountain Bandits
"Huh, arranging this group of people is even more tiring than fighting with that group of mountain bandits.
People like Zhang Blank Paper still have their gains. ”
Liu Xin sighed, without the help of a blank piece of paper, it was not the first time he felt how difficult it was to manage this group of people.
The more than 3,000 people in front of him were the fifth wave of rebel civilians who he had been busy all night.
Taken together, he has recruited no less than 20,000 bewitched people without a fight.
And the rest of the people sent by the military, the number of people saved should still be above this.
In other words, according to his strategy, they forcibly recruited half of the rebels, without abolishing a single soldier, and not even a single person died.
However, several of the men sent by the military were injured in the course of the operation.
But it was only a minor injury, and it was nothing compared to the credit they were about to receive.
Li Baotian, who was beside Liu Xin, was already tired on his face at the moment.
It can be said that among the five consecutive actions, Li Baotian exerted the most strength.
Therefore, those who work hard will always work harder than those who use their brains.
However, Li Baotian did not complain at all.
He watched Liu Xin's plan come to this moment step by step.
There are already as many as five fortresses taken by the Jinyi Guard.
There was even a large family with 10,000 stone of grain hidden in his house.
That's a million pounds of grain.
That's enough for the 50,000 rebels they recruited to eat for half a year.
At the same time, this household was also the most fiercely rebellious of the five fortresses.
Ban Zong even killed two Dacheng Realm martial artists to deter the situation.
Many people were also injured in Jinyiwei, but fortunately, no one died.
Annoyed, Ban Zong directly ordered the landlord's head to be cut off.
He didn't think about the consequences, because he knew the landlord, and behind him was a household servant.
And this is still the backstage on his face, and he doesn't know who will be behind the household servant.
But when he saw so much grain in the granary, he already understood why Liu Xin would let them do this.
Even if Liu Xin didn't endorse them, he wouldn't be afraid of a lot of trouble afterwards.
It's uncertain who will liquidate it now.
No one expected that a rebellion would involve many officials in the court who could not be beaten by eight poles.
Ban Zong already admired Liu Xin's five-body throw.
And more than 40 horsemen led by Ban Zong have also established a connection with Liu Xin.
Ban Zong received the news from Liu Xin's side that the last group of more than 3,000 people was about to come to the fortress where he was.
At dawn in the early morning, it is estimated that the soldiers and horses in the imperial capital will leave the city to raid the remnants of the rebels.
In the face of absolute power, this part of the rebels had no power to resist at all.
In the end, the most likely result is to take down these rebels at a very small cost.
And just when Liu Xin took three thousand people who were worried in their hearts to the last fortress.
Li Baotian also took many mountain bandit leaders and a team of 1,000 mountain bandits to the direction where Liu Xin was.
Although it is said that their group of people is only at the level of stragglers, they are not the opponents of the regular army at all.
But they are numerous, and their per capita strength is still relatively strong.
And Liu Xin only had Fang Zihang and a few mountain bandits under Fang Zihang.
In addition to this, there are only three thousand burdens.
With Li Baotian's understanding of these people, it is already a miracle that these people can stand up straight in the face of their attacks.
There is a high probability that many people will flee in a hurry, and the rest will be paralyzed on the ground.
There must be enough interest to deal with this group of people, and at the same time, they must be starved to the extreme.
Only when they are extremely hungry will they follow the instructions.
However, at this time, in Liu Xin's team, a small amount of food brought by more than 30 horses of Jinyiwei had already been cooked.
What all the people in the rebels cherished most was not the crude weapons issued to them, but the iron pots.
This mouthful of iron pot is carried by special people, even if their ranks sometimes disband, sometimes gathered.
The number of people is constantly changing. But the number of iron pots they have is always the same.
Just different people, I have to count the number of iron pots every day.
Therefore, at this moment, all the iron pots are in unison.
Pot after pot of thin rice was boiled, and it was not thick.
This team of 3,000 people. Everyone was given at least a big mouthful of rice porridge. And Liu Xin also promised that as long as they could reach their destination, they would be able to have white rice to eat.
And when this promise was spoken, the people swallowed the rice porridge carefully, and after the stomach, Liu Xin suddenly found that the team suddenly became obedient.
He also sighed in his heart, maybe this is the right way.
I don't know if the same method is used for a blank piece of paper.
Soon, the people carefully put away the iron pot.
The procession continued onward, and they were ten miles from the fortress.
And at this time, it is not far from dawn.
They had to get to the fortress before dawn so that the soldiers and horses in the imperial capital could discern the enemy they were attacking.
Just as the team was advancing outside a dense forest, Liu Xin suddenly noticed something strange in the dense forest.
Because this was the darkest hour before dawn, even with Liu Xin's eyes, he couldn't see what was going on in the dense forest.
But he could clearly perceive that something seemed to be hiding in the forest.
That's a dangerous source capable of devouring them.
It's a pity that even if the current team has a certain degree of obedience to him, it is still impossible to command them like an army.
He could only ride his horse to Fang Zihang's side at the front of the team.
"Liu Yanshi also found out?"
Fang Zihang was the first to speak, and with his perception of the middle grade Dacheng realm, he also clearly felt the crisis in the dense forest.
He could even sense a sense of oppression in the depths of the dense forest, which even he could feel.
"Could it be a real rebel?"
In this night's contact, Liu Xin had already revealed his judgment to Fang Zihang.
A hundred thousand rebels is definitely not a real killer move.
And after these 100,000 rebels, there may be a real rebel army waiting for something.
However, before the other party really launched, Liu Xin couldn't tell what the other party wanted to do.
For now, they're just creating chaos.
"I don't know, but it's definitely going to be a bloody battle."
"What if..."
Fang Zihang opened his mouth halfway.
But Liu Xin knew what he wanted to say from his expression.
"Maybe it's a good idea, but we can't gamble.
We will leave first, and if the other party can't catch us, we will be angry and kill these people.
They won't have any chance. ”
"I sensed the pressure, there might be someone of my level in the forest.
My brothers can't stop the other threats. ”
Saying that, Fang Zihang looked at a few mountain bandits not far away, they followed him out, on the one hand, because they worshiped themselves, and on the other hand, they also wanted to come out to save these people.
Not all mountain bandits are evildoers.
There are many mountain bandits who are forced to fall into the grass.
If the world is really peaceful, if everyone can be fed, clothed, and able to live, who would be willing to live with their heads pinned to their belts.
In this era, people revere the strong and the warriors are respected, isn't it because being an ordinary person makes life too sad.
Liu Xin glanced at Fang Zihang's gaze and said with a little apology:
"If you want to go, I won't stop you.
But alas, it doesn't seem like you're going well now.
Rather than leave now, it is better to stay, and maybe there is a way to live.
So I have to say sorry to you. ”
"It's okay, since you have become a mountain bandit, you are ready to die one day.
Presumably they should have figured it out. ”
Fang Zihang said very calmly, he has been a mountain bandit for so many years, and he is very clear about the basic requirements of this profession.
He believed everyone else knew it.
Therefore, he simply did not remind them that it would be better for them to face the impending crisis directly.
Otherwise, when you know what is going to happen, your mind will be confused, and your thoughts will increase, which will not be good.
Warriors should move forward without distractions.
The team advanced a few hundred meters, and the sense of crisis in Liu Xin and Fang Zihang's hearts became stronger and stronger, and even the mountain bandits who followed Fang Zihang out already felt a strange atmosphere appearing, making them faintly uneasy.
There were not many people riding horses in the whole team, except for Liu Xin, Fang Zihang and these people, most of the rest of the horses were carrying some supplies.
Such as pots and pans, such as some blankets and quilts.
These are the things that these people cherish the most at this moment.
Suddenly, Liu Xin saw that in the dense forest in the distance, there were people who began to move.
"Drive!"
Without waiting for the people in the dense forest to rush out, Liu Xin had already urged the sitting red rabbit to rush forward.
Chitu's body was already wrapped in a layer of vest, and Chitu let out a low hissing in his mouth, and without hesitation, he raised his speed to the limit, and directly burst out of his strong strength as a treasure horse.
Fang Zihang followed behind Liu Xin, but the distance was constantly widened.
He took a deep look at the back of Chitu, this is a good horse, a rare good horse in the rivers and lakes.
Chitu was with Ban Zong and the others at first, and returned to Liu Xin's side in the process of Liu Xin's surrender without a fight.
Although it was the first time for the two to go to the battlefield together, Liu Xin found that he and Chitu had entered the realm of unity in an instant.
This is the most desired state of the cavalry.
Liu Xin and Chitu reached it without much effort.
This is also because Chitu has already given everything to Liu Xin, from the moment Liu Xin saved it.
And Liu Xin also fully trusts Chitu.
On each side of the red rabbit's body are several long weapons strapped to each side.
Of course, the horse battle still had to use long weapons, and after a night of fighting, a lot of weapons were captured in the hands of those mountain bandit leaders.
A large part of Liu Xin was handed over to the people for their own protection.
But some spears, spears and the like, are now being used by the people to pick up things.
The people who rushed out of the dense forest didn't expect Liu Xin to charge at them without saying a word.
Among the rebel bandits, only the leaders had mounts, and most of the bandits could only advance on their legs.
They arrived here half an hour ago, and waited for half an hour, and their bodies were already a little numb under the night wind.
Originally, he was able to rejuvenate his body by taking advantage of the distance of rushing out of the dense forest, but he didn't expect Liu Xin to rush directly towards them.
As a result, when the two sides came into contact, the rebel bandits were still stiff and could not recover.
In the end, it was a face, and without even Liu Xin's move, Chitu directly knocked the two mountain bandits into the air, and then continued to crash into the mountain bandits, knocking down many people.
The speed of the red rabbit can be comparable to that of the Dacheng Realm martial artist rushing with all his might, coupled with the sturdy body, this collision, the two who flew out must have died on the spot, and the rest who were smashed were also injured to varying degrees.
Before the mountain bandits could react, the long knife in Liu Xin's hand had already been swung out.
In the face of the crowd, the power of the knife is stronger, and it is worthy of being the king of a hundred soldiers.
The long knife swept, and where the sword light passed, blood splashed everywhere, and people's heads flew.
Three or four mountain bandits were killed with one knife, and Liu Xin swung two circles left and right, and more than a dozen people died under the knife.
And this scene also deeply stimulated this group of mountain bandits, making their hearts tremble, their hearts were broken, and the fear in their hearts was beyond comprehension for a while.
And Liu Xin constantly watered and fertilized the seeds of fear in their hearts, so that the fear grew rapidly.
In just two or three breaths, an open space had already appeared around Liu Xin.
The red rabbit horse and Liu Xin rushed into a bunch of people again, and there was another burst of chopping melons and vegetables.
His efficiency was no slower than that of Fang Zihang before him to rush into battle and kill the enemy.
The main reason is because although there is no gap between the cultivation of the two, these ordinary mountain bandits are just fake warriors who know how to do some tricks after all.
In front of the martial artists of the True Dacheng Realm, the combat effectiveness of these people is actually not much different from that of ordinary people.
The knife is sharp to a certain extent, and if it is improved, the speed of cutting vegetables will not change significantly.
It's the same thing.
And after a few breaths, Fang Zihang finally arrived, and he also had a big knife in his hand.
For a while, Liu Xin and Fang Zihang were like entering a no-man's land, killing the enemy like a broken melon.
And it was only at this time that the mountain bandits who followed Fang Zihang reacted, and several people glanced at each other and roughly guessed the origin of this group of people.
They didn't know how many fellow bandits they killed this night, and judging by this situation, it should be that the other party came to take revenge.
Seeing that there seemed to be a crowd in the dense forest, it was estimated that there were hundreds of people who came this time.
If it were normal times, several people would definitely not come forward to send them to death.
But Liu Xin and Fang Zihang showed their might, which gave them a trace of courage.
So a few people also rode forward, but they were still halfway there, and a large number of people suddenly poured out of the dense forest, and there were several people riding on horses, and the momentum was extremely powerful.
At first glance, you can tell that it is not an ordinary person.
But several people are now off the string, and there is no other way but to rush hard, and it is a big deal to die.
Thinking like this, several people also had some arrogance, and they all shouted and charged forward fully.
But the team of 3,000 people came to a standstill at this moment, and all the people watched this scene in amazement, not knowing what was happening.
I had just escaped from the tiger's mouth, but there was another abyss waiting for everyone in front of me.
Fortunately, most people have something in their stomachs, and at this time, they will not be frightened and paralyzed to the ground, and what is even more amazing is that no one escaped, and everyone was watching.
I want to see if Liu Xin and they can defeat the enemy in front of them.
Although it was a few people facing a gap of hundreds of people, the three thousand people who had already seen their divine power before had faintly expected it in their hearts.
In their eyes, Liu Xin and the others were not even warriors, but gods who fell from the sky.
In fact, in the hearts of many people, warriors are gods and immortals.
In the hearts of the people, the mountain bandits are the rivers and lakes... The most powerful of them are the devils.
And now, the gods have met the devil, and the two sides have begun to fight.
Li Baotian didn't expect that the middle-aged man next to Liu Xin would also have the cultivation of a medium-grade Dacheng realm.
When he appeared and was about to explode Liu Xin, he was shocked to find Fang Zihang's mid-grade Dacheng realm aura.
He knew immediately that his information was wrong, but fortunately it was still under control.
But Fang Zihang would never let the Heaven Turning Tigers and their inferior Dacheng Realm fight, and the gap between every realm of the Dacheng Realm was huge.
The lower grade hits the middle grade, and it will only be easily defeated.
I can't fall for the mistake of Tian Ji horse racing.
So Fang Zihang became Li Baotian's opponent.
"You're a black knife!"
Li Baotian immediately recognized the black knife behind Fang Zihang's back.
The mountain bandit world is said to be very big, and there are tens of thousands of mountain bandit forces in the entire Zhengyang territory.
But it is also small to say, although there are many mountain bandits in various places, there are not many who can really be called characters, and there are even fewer famous ones.
A large part of them also went to Liangshan.
It can be said to be a den of thieves.
Of course, there are also some people who have their own rules of survival, or they don't like to be in groups, or they are restricted by others, so they roam outside, and the most famous of them is the black knife of one person and one bandit.
"I didn't expect you to have fallen into collusion with the eagle dogs of the imperial court now!"
Li Baotian shouted, but Fang Zihang ignored him, just stabbed through a mountain bandit with a shot, and then left the spear in the body of the mountain bandit, took the black knife from his back, and rushed towards Li Baotian.
Liu Xin glanced at Li Baotian's attribute panel not far away, what this guy said was really annoying.
The feeling that came out of his mouth was that his status as a brocade guard was not even as good as that of a mere bandit like him.
I'd like to see what kind of ingredient you are, so ashamed to speak.

I didn't expect that there would be a so-called mountain bandit family in this world.
Li Baotian is also regarded as the number one person, and his strength cultivation can be regarded as a leader among the mountain bandits.
Even if it falls into Liangshan, it is estimated that it is in the forefront.
