When the first water bandit left the water bandit village, Liu Changqing knew that he was completely defeated in Lin Duci's conspiracy.

Although he is a stupid person, there is one thing, he is very self-aware.

Since he feels that he is going to lose, and he also accepts this fact, then for Liu Changqing, he will not be entangled in this day and night.

He simply let go of management.

He freed all those who had been tied to the execution table and withdrew the order to patrol at night.

At first, the bandits didn't know what Liu Changqing was going to do.

But for several days, when the bandits found that there was no punishment, many people began to leave the bandit village one after another.

Liu Changqing stood on the high platform of the main building, watching coldly as these people left the village little by little, and laughed angrily.

In the distance, the fortifications of the imperial court against the water bandits, which were gradually established under the command of Lin Duci, had a rough prototype.

And the woman who listened to the rain building actually appeared in front of him every day, and she really didn't seem to be afraid of him at all.

Liu Changqing's eyes were quenched with poison.

Forget about Lin Dusk's resignation, what is such a woman from a foreign country?

He can leave no one else alone, but this woman must die.

In Liu Changqing's view, Lin Duci's declaration of suppressing bandits, as the war approached, seemed to be a huge sword on his neck, which would be cut down anytime and anywhere.

And those delicious wines and delicacies in Tingyulou are more like a leech entrenched in the entire water bandit village, constantly sucking his flesh and blood.

He found that there was nothing he could do about it.

After Changpeng Liu disappeared, it seemed that he had evaporated from the world, and he finally realized that his brother's brain was really abnormal, and Changpeng Liu didn't want any glory, wealth and power.

Liu Changqing only has himself.

It's not all, there is also a Tong Jiu and his Tianzhai master.

When Tong Jiu saw this Tianzhai Lord, he was not shocked in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.

"They have their own plans, and I have my ladder." Liu Changqing said to his two village masters, "Since we have no way out, then simply give it a go." ”

Neither owner spoke.

Tong Jiu's gaze always stayed on Liu Changqing, worthy of the Liu family, Liu Changpeng is a madman, and Liu Changqing is not far behind when he is crazy.

He felt that unless the woman surnamed Tang and Qin Cha had something really outstanding, this time the bandits, not to mention the others, the two of them should have died here.

It can be seen that Liu Changqing's hatred for these two has reached a certain point.

Shen Qi still continued to "recruit An".

Tang Zongjiu devoted himself to "military training", but he still returned to the Tang Mansion every night and became a husband who went out early and returned late.

After recruiting a certain number of recruits, Lin Duci focused all his attention on the matter of "suppressing bandits".

Including Lu Mingze, Lu Minghao's brothers, and other officials of the imperial court, as the days of "suppressing bandits" approached, everyone's hearts began to hang.

Some of the previous "strike" officials also participated in the "suppression of bandits" after figuring it out.

Liu Changqing always didn't know what he was plotting with his Tianzhai Lord and Tong Jiu, and the entire water bandit village seemed to have entered a state of preparedness.

The days flickered, and a whole month and a half passed.

On this day, Tang Zongjiu ended the military training, Lin Duci ended the military defense fortifications at the Honglin boundary monument, and Shen Qi ended the last grain delivery.

On the second day, the sun rose.

Today, at the beginning of summer, the entire Spring Breeze City is slowly unfolding in front of you like a colorful picture.

The sun shines through the treetops, dappled light and shadows, the breeze brings a burst of coolness, and the air is filled with a faint scent of flowers and earth.

In the fields, the ears of wheat have begun to turn yellow, swaying gently in the breeze, as if dancing for the coming harvest.

In the rice fields, the rice is verdant and dripping, shimmering golden in the sun.

In such a vibrant day, Lin Duci and Tang Zongjiu set off for Honglin with a part of the royal soldiers and newly trained recruits.

Shao Xingyue and Lu Mingze finished repairing the sailor and set off for the lair of the sailor of the Moyang River.

This time, Shao Xingyue brought out a total of 20,000 royal soldiers from his father, which was also the largest number that Shao Xingyue could apply.

1,000 people were injured in the previous battle, and 19,000 remained.

Shen Qi could not participate in the war, but the Tang Mansion had to be protected, so a thousand people were removed.

In the end, there were 18,000 people left, Shao Xingyue waved his hand, gave Lin Duci and Tang Zongjiu 4,000 people, and asked them to gather 5,000 troops to fight on land, and he led 14,000 people to fight the water bandits on the Moyang River.

Today will not leave a way out for the sailor like last time.

Lu Mingze stood beside Shao Xingyue, his eyes were as firm as he had never been.

Lu Minghao's mission has been completed and he has returned safely, and today, he wants to comfort the souls of his parents, wife and children who died tragically.

The red forest, the mountain road is rugged, and the army moves in an orderly manner, like a silent dragon, winding and circling, slowly approaching.

The tip of the sword reflected a cold glow in the faint light.

The outline of the water bandit village gradually became clear in the night, more like a dormant giant beast, as if it had been waiting for them for a long time.

Just when there was still some distance from the water bandit village, Tang Zongjiu and Lin Duci respectively took two groups of people, and distributed them in the previously arranged area, Xiaojia, General A, Sentinel Commander, Squad, Squadron, and Brigade.

Lin Duci led the royal soldiers to attack the main gate, and Tang Zongjiu led a team of 2,000 people, including recruits, to break through the side door.

Soon, the people who were guarding the water bandit village saw the troops of the imperial court.

"Woo——!"

A shrill trumpet pierced the sky.

The Great War is imminent!

"Boom, boom—"

With a loud bang, a cannon was launched at the main entrance of the water bandit village, this cannon was made of copper, the barrel was straight, and there were multiple cannon hoops on the surface, with a total length of about nine feet, a caliber of about one-third of a foot, and a weight of several tons.

This cannon is more powerful than the artillery of the imperial court and has a long range, and it is the weapon that Liu Changqing is most proud of.

He stood in the main building, watching the imperial troops unable to advance in the face of this artillery, and showed a triumphant smile.

However, in the next second, a louder "boom" sound came from a distance.

The sound grew louder and louder, as if countless wheels were rolling, so much so that the whole ground trembled.

Liu Changqing saw Lin Duci's troops appear in front of the main gate of the water bandit village with a larger artillery, and fight with his own artillery.

The artillery on the side of the imperial court is an artillery that Liu Changqing has never seen.

The entire cannon body is about six feet long, but it is composed of a mother gun and a child gun, and what makes Liu Changqing's face even more ugly is that this cannon of the imperial court is placed outside the range of his own artillery.

This means that the opponent has a longer range.

The cannon seemed to be the behemoth's mouth, baring its green fangs at the object it was about to devour.

He didn't know when the imperial court would be updated in terms of artillery.

"Boom-" There was a loud bang, and attacks were launched from both sides at the same time, sounding the clarion call for war.

As Liu Changqing expected, the range of the water bandits' artillery was not comparable to that of the imperial court's artillery.

The water bandits' shells fell three feet in front of the imperial artillery, and a large hole exploded in the ground, and a large puff of agricultural smoke rose from the surface.

The artillery of the imperial court directly blew the gate of the water bandits open, the wooden blocks were scattered all over the ground, the door leaf was also blown apart, and the broken wood and iron nails flew in the air.

The air was instantly filled with the heavy smell of gunpowder smoke and burnt wood, which stimulated people's breathing.

The water bandits' cannons were just like that, and they were wilted.

The bandits who had originally gathered at the main gate saw such a situation and were so frightened that they didn't dare to take a step further.

Lin Duci stood by the artillery, holding a torch with a lit fuse in his hand, and shouted at the gate of the water bandit village.

"Rush, ——!"

For a time, the soldiers were murderous.

The main entrance was opened by Lin Duci, and the side door also entered the battle with the sound of artillery fire.

Xiong Li was the first man to ask questions and sign up on the day of Lin Du's resignation.

His father died at the hands of the bandits, and he supported his mother and his wife and son to live in Spring Breeze City for the rest of his life.

They had a butcher's shop, and they were in the business of killing pigs and selling pork, and as long as they gave a certain amount of money to the steward every month, they could live a small life in peace.

For Xiong Li's family, because there is a lot of money stuffed into the hands of the person in charge every month, they can only take care of one food and clothing.

Until one day when he was working at the docks, he found that the person in charge was actually talking and laughing with the bandits, and Xiong Li was angry.

Every time he thinks of his father's tragic death, Xiong Li is unwilling.

But he also knew that there were big officials here who covered the sky with one hand, and many good officials from the court were killed.

Until the appearance of Lin Dusk.

This Qincha is different from others, and the achievements of Qincha are in front of him, and one by one brings him hope.

So he asked with the attitude of giving it a try.

Lin Duci's words "Puff is responsible" moved him, and then he became a member of the new recruits to suppress the bandits.

In addition to training every day, I go home to take care of the shop, going back and forth between two points and one line.

After a whole month and a half of training, many people quit halfway through, but he persevered.

Until today.

When the bandits rushed out with machetes, Xiong Li felt that he was really a real soldier.

He will charge into battle, and he will fight bravely to kill the enemy.

"Rush ——! me" Tang Zongjiu's tall figure flew in front of all their recruits.

In the past month and a half, for their thousand recruits, Tang Zongjiu was simply a demon.

But when they really ran up behind Tang Zongjiu, Xiong Li finally realized that this man who was secretly scolded by them as a "devil" in the past did every training for them for their good.

In order for them to survive the fight with the enemy, they can go back to reunite with their families.

Dad, I'm here to avenge you!

Xiong Li thought silently in his heart, and rushed towards the water bandit with everyone else.

"Kill——!"

Xiong Li, together with the recruits around him, raised the sword in his hand and rushed towards the group of water bandits.

At this time, suddenly a water bandit raised a big knife at Xiong Li's head and slashed down, and Xiong Li reacted with a spirit muscle reaction and clenched the hilt of the sword and slashed upward.

This is the action that Tang Zongjiu taught them to train and fight every day, and it really worked, Xiong Li's eyes lit up.

After fending off the opponent's move, Xiong Li immediately stabbed forward.

The water bandit was obviously not a novice, and he quickly dodged Xiong Li's sword stab, and as he turned around, his arm was horizontal, and the knife man aimed at Xiong Li's waist and slashed at it.

Xiong Li was stunned for a moment, and the others were still facing forward, and they didn't react at all in the face of this horizontal slash.

The arc of the big knife suddenly enlarged in front of Xiong Li, and everything around him became extremely slow.

Xiong Li's eyes glared at the big knife, but his body didn't have time to react at all.

It's over!

This was Xiong Li's only reaction.

Seeing that his upper and lower bodies were about to be separated, Tang Zongjiu suddenly kicked the water bandit's knife away.

"When ——!" There was a crisp sound, and the water bandit's knife was kicked away.

Xiong Li only felt that the sword light in front of him flashed suddenly, he didn't have time to see anything clearly, and when he fixed his eyes again, a bloody mark appeared on the water bandit's neck.

Blood suddenly splattered on Xiong Li's face.

Xiong Li blinked, and the water bandit fell to the ground and died.

Xiong Li froze in place.

He kills pigs all year round and often deals with pig blood, thinking that he is very comfortable with "blood".

However, when someone was actually killed by a sword in front of him, and blood was splattered everywhere, Xiong Li's stomach tumbled.

"If you don't want to die, don't be stunned." After Tang Zongjiu finished speaking, he flew in the other direction.

Xiong Li looked at the fallen people one by one, smelling the strong smell of blood, and he finally realized that this was a war, not a joke.

To fight a war is to die.

Xiong Li forced himself to return to his consciousness, and suddenly heard a sound, and another water bandit had killed him.

I don't know if it was because of the blood spraying on his face or because of the sound of fighting around him, Xiong Li's eyes were bloodshot.

He slashed at the bandits who rushed over and cut him, using the same moves they had been training every day for forty-five days.

The water bandit dodged sideways, and Xiong Li followed closely with another sword.

"Poof-" With a bang, the sword entered his stomach, and blood gushed out.

Xiong Li's uniform was already sprinkled with the blood of two people at this time.

After being pierced in the stomach by Xiong Li, the water bandit fell to the ground and rolled in pain.

Chopping people and chopping pigs are completely different feelings.

Xiong Li's hand suddenly let go, allowing the sword to stand on the water bandit's stomach.

"What are you stunned about?!" A royal soldier yelled, "Kill him! ”

I saw the soldier raise his gun and stab a bandit in the head.

Someone is dying all the time.

"Kill him!" The soldier shouted again.

These three words echoed in Xiong Li's mind like a mantra.

Kill him, kill him, kill him......

"Ah——!h

Xiong Li roared, rushed forward, grabbed the hilt of his sword, and stabbed the sword hard into the water bandit's stomach with the strength of killing pigs.

The bandit bowed his whole body, and then landed on his head and feet at the same time, and fell to the ground motionless.

Xiong Li looked at the water bandit's wide eyes and spit on the spot.

"Vomit ——!"

He killed!

He actually killed someone!

A living person!

"Either he dies or you die! This is the battlefield! ”

The soldier roared and aimed his spear at the water bandit who wanted to sneak up on Xiong Li from behind.

"If you are stunned again, just wait for your family to collect your body!"

With that, he turned around and tried to kill the bandit who had slashed at him from the side.

But the bandit seemed to be on guard, dodged the soldier's attack, and killed the soldier with a dodge.

The soldier glanced at Xiong Li before he fell to the ground.

Xiong Li clearly saw that the soldier had spoken.

"Kill!"

The soldier who had saved his life two or three breaths ago had turned into a corpse at this moment, which made Xiong Li all sting.

The death of a companion is far more intuitive and exciting than the death of an enemy.

Xiong Li's eyes were suddenly bloodshot.

Before he died, the soldier held on to the water bandit's machete to prevent the water bandit from moving, and Xiong Li knew that this was the soldier's last wish.

Kill the bandits!

Xiong Li roared at the water bandit.

"Kill ——!"

He drew the sword from the stomach of one of the bandits, and pointed the tip of the sword at the bandit who was unable to break free from the soldier's control.

A sword pierces the heart!

Not only that, Xiong Li felt that it was not enough, so he stabbed a sword in the same place.

In a trance, he seemed to see the soldier smile and close his eyes.

At this time, another water bandit rushed out from the side and slashed at Xiong Li.

And Xiong Li seemed to have faded away from his previous hesitation and timidity in an instant, and he remembered every word Tang Zongjiu said when he trained them, and taught them every move.

He took a deep breath and kicked hard with his feet, his body rushing towards the bandits like arrows.

The sword in his hand danced vigorously, the tip of the sword pointed straight at his opponent's throat.

He had forgotten that this was the first person to die in front of him.

After the other party fell, Xiong Li returned to the soldier.

He lay the soldier flat on the ground, stood up straight, faced the bandits, and his eyes were no longer as confused as before, and rushed straight into the crowd.

He was like a drop of water in the ocean, dripping in this sea of blood, and for a moment, he seemed to lose himself in the thick killing intent.

It's not just Xiong Li, every recruit is experiencing the baptism of war.

Even if what they launched at this time was only a small-scale battlefield to suppress bandits, the real large-scale battlefield was on the Moyang River.

But for these newcomers, they also felt a shock from their souls.

If they don't kill, someone kills them.

Countless fires and swords and shadows are intertwined to form a thrilling picture.

On the battlefield, one after another Xiong Li was armed with spears or swords, his face was covered with mud and blood, and he used his body instinct to fight the water bandits.

The shouts from the bandits and soldiers shook the sky, and the sound of gold and iron from the collision of cold weapons echoed in the empty battlefield, stimulating everyone's eardrums and nerves.

In the distance, the sound of armor clashing, sword clashing, and screams are intertwined endlessly, forming a tragic battlefield symphony.

Some soldiers fell in battle, closing their eyes forever; Others are still struggling in agony on the ground, trying to find a glimmer of hope for survival.

Blood flowed from everyone's wounds, staining the ground beneath them.

The air was thick with the smell of blood and scorched earth, and the occasional moaning of the wounded and the gasps of dying soldiers could be heard.

The sun shines through the clouds and on the battlefield covered in blood and dirt.

The mountains seemed to be shocked by the fierce battle, silently watching all this. (End of chapter)
