Mysterious Tribulation

After a few days.

Black Dragon Mountain.

My lord... there is a group of bandits on this mountain, named Black Wind Bandits, they are the most cunning!

Zhan Da held a machete and opened the way ahead: Our side played hide-and-seek with him for a long time before we found the other side's stronghold and blocked the main road...

His eyes are sharp, and his speech is much more orderly than that of the soldiers next to him. Apart from his blunt temper, he is almost the same as a normal person.

The chill and mechanical feeling on his body can also be regarded as the temperament and common problems of soldiers.

Seeing this scene, Aaron couldn't help being quite satisfied.

'This Six Armored Divine Soldier has finally been upgraded to an elite unit...'

In fact, upgrading is not complicated, but it is just using the idea of ​​​​combining animal taming and using the spirituality of the 'tower' to enlighten wisdom.

But people are not animals after all, and Aaron had to search for a long time before finding a way.

Moreover, the consumption is also a bit large.

'It is impossible to popularize, at most some elite units can be enlightened... But to be honest, there are only hundreds of people and thousands of generals. It is still a dream to command tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands to complete the planning and deployment of a grand war. ! '

Aaron had to admit that the general seed and talent are real, especially some military geniuses, who have a keen sense of smell and timing in war, ordinary people really can't learn it!

'It seems that... in the future, we still need to recruit some people to be generals or even the commander of the whole army? '

As long as I use my people as the backbone, I will never be afraid of mutiny and betrayal...

Aaron just daydream about the scene where he will go against the grain in the future and the general will rebel, and he is inexplicably looking forward to it...

While thinking about it, a village suddenly appeared in front of him.

This is Heifeng Village? Sure enough, it occupies a favorable location, and there are hundreds of bandits? It's not too bad...the mountains and forests can't support too many people.

Aaron inspected it and felt that the stronghold was really easy to defend and difficult to attack. He couldn't help but nodded, and ordered: Attack!

Follow me!

Zhan Da let out a roar, and dozens of people gathered around him, rushing towards the stockade.

The fifty people he led were the backbone of the chasing soldiers back then, with the best weapons and leather armor.

In addition, Aaron also subdued many local bandits this year, and his men have swelled to five hundred!

With Scattering Beans into Soldiers, you are not afraid of low morale and defection at all.

But it's a bit troublesome to raise it, and the rewards he got from the former official's family are gradually not enough!

At this time, after Zhan Da took over as the main attacker, people from all directions in the dense forest also dispatched together, rushing towards the stronghold from all over like crazy.

In the history of breaking down the city, we pay attention to hitting a little bit and concentrate our firepower to break through.

Aaron looked at the battle situation and knew that there was a problem with the command, but he was not afraid at all: But if five hundred people fight against one hundred people, even if the opponent is hiding in the fortress, I still have the advantage...

Building a strong fortress, fighting dull battles, and pressing ten times more troops at every turn... is also the secret of a military strategist's constant victory.

...

Heifeng Village.

The head of the family is at the gate of the village, looking at the charging crowd, with a grim expression: Damn... this day has finally come!

He had known for a long time that a group of cross-river dragons had come from the local green forests. They were extremely careless in their work and had wiped out many cottages and gangs.

I was worried before, but when this day came, I felt a little relieved.

Brothers! We have a stockade, kill me hard!

The head's eyes were red: If you win this time, the village will share the money, and my six-bedroom woman can enjoy it as you like!

The bandits screamed in excitement, waving their weapons.

Soon, Zhan Da and others who charged in the first wave were killed under the cottage.

The first gate of this cottage is located in the wonderland of a line of sky, guarding the dangerous pass, although it is not high, but a trench has been dug, and there are some wooden thorns and repelling horses.

Come on!

After all, Zhanda has been attracted and upgraded, and is already an elite unit. At this time, he did not take the lead, but fell behind a few steps and began to command.

There was no such thing as Liujia Shenbing's morale, and the soldiers behind them rushed forward with muffled noises.

Shoot arrows! Shoot them to death!

With Erdangjia's order, the arrows on the gate of the village fell like raindrops.

Most of the mountain people know the hunter's craft, and they are also proficient in playing bow and arrow. Several soldiers were shot to death immediately, and some were hit by several arrows, and they still charged without shouting.

Especially the first few, wearing leather armor and hanging arrows, seemed to have turned into a hedgehog, but in fact they were not seriously injured. They came under the gate of the village without a word, removed the obstacles, and began to climb.

The head of the family... something is wrong with this situation.

The second leader came to the first leader, his tone trembling: It's not that the cottage has never been besieged... There are always a few deserters after a round of arrow rain, but none of these people turned around, and the leader even wore a leather jacket. A... this is the imperial court's first-class elite soldier!

Indeed, but the elite soldiers came to encircle and suppress us, and their heads got flooded?

The head of the family roared angrily: Keep shooting arrows and hitting stones!

boom!

A boulder was thrown down, smashing a soldier's brains apart.

The blood splashed on the faces of the colleagues around them, and their expressions remained unchanged.

It's too late, so fast!

In the blink of an eye, the soldiers rushed under the stronghold.

And around the wooden door, there are also green wood thorns, which are a kind of thorny vines in the mountains, which were discovered by the head and immediately used for defense.

Don't talk about iron thorns... iron and gold are expensive these days, and if they are a little bit, they will be used for farm tools or weapons, and they will never be wasted for barbed wire and the like.

puff!

A Six Armored Soldier rushed forward, covering the wooden thorns with his body, and the soldiers behind him also rushed up to build a human ladder.

Even if the head is bleeding, the hands are still tightly grasping.

This... crazy! Crazy!

Above the cottage, the voice of the head of the family began to tremble: This is not a human, this is not a human!

He also knows a little about the art of war, and knows that even if the imperial army comes, a thousand people will not be able to break through his stronghold.

But under this fearless style of play, the whole line began to falter.

kill!

A soldier jumped onto the city wall, and immediately swung a knife, beheading a black wind bandit.

At the same time, the gangsters around reacted immediately, and several sharpened wooden sticks pierced into his body.

The soldier roared, grabbed the nearest enemy, and fell off the city wall together with him.

This style of play is not one person, but everyone!

Especially after seeing a soldier who was scalded beyond recognition by boiling water but still fighting hard, the bandits in the entire line of defense collapsed!

They are just bandits, not dead soldiers!

It is not easy to persist until now.

Even if elite soldiers from the imperial court come, they may not be able to do better than them.

Seeing this scene, the head of the family couldn't help but feel cold hands and feet: This is the sky that wants to kill me!

Master, let's run!

The second leader grabbed the arm of the first leader: If you keep the green hills, you don't have to worry about no firewood!

But at this moment, there was also a commotion in the cottage, and there was a faint cry of killing.

What's going on here?

The master drew his sword in his hand, and his voice was like a lone wolf.

It's the cliff of the back mountain, and someone has also been killed. The third family who stayed behind has been killed...

A bandit covered in blood escaped from the cottage and answered in embarrassment.

Damn it, the back mountain is a cliff! Could it be that he flew up?

The head of the family simply stopped running, looked at the pursuers: There is no way out, let's fight out!

kill!

The second leader also drew out his saber, and fought with the Liujia soldiers who were chasing him.

call!

Erdangjia stabbed out with a sword, and directly hit the vital point of a soldier on the opposite side.

The clinker soldier didn't care about it, he just missed it, so that the sword pierced the left shoulder, and the right one slashed over.

Erdang wanted to draw his sword, but found that it was stuck in a bone and couldn't pull it out!

Then, half of the neck was cut off with a single knife!

Are these soldiers? Why are they all acting like outlaws?

The head of the family collapsed, watching all his subordinates being killed.

As soon as he rolled his eyes, he immediately threw away the long knife and knelt on the ground: I surrender!

Wait!

Zhan Da came over and ordered someone to tie up the bandit leader and bring him to Aaron.

My lord, the stronghold has been broken, and the bandit leader brought it here!

Zhan Da loudly said.

You are the leader of this group of people? What enmity do I have with you?

The head of the family looked at Aaron with some doubts: Are you... a Taoist?

Clean the battlefield, and the enemy will make up the knife regardless of the severity of the injury... Our side will bandage the lightly injured, and kill the seriously injured immediately!

Aaron didn't bother to look at him, looked around and gave an order.

Then, the leader saw in astonishment that some of the seriously injured soldiers committed suicide by drawing their knives, and some hit their heads on stones, and they really died just like that...

You...you are not human!

You are an evil ghost, an evil ghost...haha...

This shocking and shocking scene immediately made the whole family feel wrong, with a half smile on his face, as if he had gone crazy.

Kill it!

Aaron waved his hand, and Zhan Da was immediately beheaded with a single knife, decapitating him.

Immediately, a handful of red beans appeared in his hand and he threw them out.

A strange scene appeared!

The red bean fell into the pool of blood and penetrated into the wound on the head's neck, causing his limbs to twitch immediately, and then stood up at an angle that violated human mechanics, grabbed his head, and pressed it to the wound... Countless tentacles of flesh and blood quickly entangled, Repair wounds.

A moment later, a big leader who moved a little bit sluggishly stood in front of Aaron.

And those Liujia soldiers who died before were also resurrected and lined up.

Big Master? No, from today onwards, you will be called Hei Er!

Aaron pointed to the head of the family: You clashed with Zhan Da's cottage, and then went to war, defeated... and finally surrendered, understand?

Obey!

Hei Er replied without hesitation.

Although it is not very convenient, it is probably barely enough to pretend to be a bandit.

And the people sent by Zhan Da to the cottage also came back: My lord, we found a lot of food in the cottage, as well as cloth and money...

Um.

Aaron nodded in satisfaction.

After this battle, he had almost no losses other than Qi points.

The team of 500 people not only did not lose, but turned into 600 people!

He smiled satisfied at the moment: Leave a hundred people, and the rest will go back with me!

...

way home.

As Aaron walked, he thought: Six hundred soldiers... This consumption is getting bigger and bigger, but my family is getting thinner and thinner. I can't just rely on rewards from officials...

The five hundred people were supported half by the original cottage, and half by Aaron selling official rewards, such as the topaz ruyi, which was bought in the county.

It can be said that all the use of this army was paid by Dasong officials before...

But this model obviously cannot last long.

As the team gets bigger and bigger, it is necessary to control a territory and collect taxes to support the army!

Taxation is the power of the state, which requires the establishment of political power!

So... Is Fang La finally going to rebel? Thinking about it, I'm a little excited!

While meditating, Zhan Da came to report: Our spies found something strange on the road ahead!

When Aaron came to the front, he saw that there was an official road outside, which was separated from the mountains and forests, and the development would not be indiscriminate.

I taught him to march and fight, and to spread sentries widely, and he must implement it rigorously!

Shilling the army does not move, I will go and see with you!

After thinking about it, Aaron took Zhan Da and others along the official road.

Not long after, he felt the vibration of the ground!

Is it the sound of horseshoes, or a military horse! More than one ride!

Aaron asked them to stop, and not long after, he saw a group of more than a dozen cavalry chasing the three cavalry ahead!

Seeing Aaron from a distance, he shouted: The imperial court is hunting down the rebels, and anyone who dares to block the way will be killed!

Aaron actually recognized the knight who ran away first!

Poison Dragon!? Why is this old boy being chased and killed every time we meet? What a miserable life...

It was important for Du Longzi to escape for his life, but he didn't pay attention to Aaron, and just passed by several people on horseback.

The faces of the pursuers of the Fengxiang army flashed fiercely. They drew out their long knives and borrowed horsepower to cut off the heads of those who stood in the way!

After all, the imperial court hunts down the traitors, and those who block the way are killed without mercy, and death is in vain!

Not only did he die in vain, but his head could also be considered a piece of military merit!

Whoosh!

Aaron also saw the malicious intentions of these court cavalrymen, so he just smiled and put his hair on his finger.

The iron hairpin sword flew out and turned into a black light.

Whizzing!

In mid-air, those knights fell off their horses one by one, with blood flying from their bodies!

Ah... Flying Sword Technique!

You are the Void Spirit of the Demon Dao!

The leader of the cavalry shouted, seeing that all the arrows shot were shot down in mid-air, he ran away with a whip!

However, he was still too close, was pierced by the iron hairpin sword from the back of the heart, fell off the horse, and died...

Collect all the horses... plus the previous savings, you can form a cavalry squad.

Aaron happily ordered.

War horses are completely different from ordinary rough horses. First of all, they have to be tall, and then they have to go through special training. They must not panic when they go to the battlefield.

These dozens of war horses are simply a windfall!

yes!

Zhan Da immediately took people to pack up the horses, corpses, armor, weapons...

Suddenly, the sound of horseshoes was heard, but it was the three riders who rushed for a while, only to find that they were surrounded by hundreds of Liujia soldiers, and they could only return in despair.

Ah...you are Daoist Void Spirit?

Only then did Du Longzi see Aaron clearly, and said happily, Fellow Daoist saved the old Daoist's life again.

I had a hasty farewell before, but I didn't expect to have a fate today, and I will see you again.

Aaron laughed: Why did the Taoist priest come here?

Alas... Hearing Aaron's question, Du Longzi couldn't help sighing, It's hard to describe...you're such a fool!
