"Huh, arranging this group of people is more tiring than fighting those bandits.
People like Zhang Baizhi still have their merits. "
Liu Xin sighed. Without the help of a blank piece of paper, it was not the first time that he felt how difficult it was to manage this group of people obediently.
The more than 3,000 people in front of him were the fifth wave of rebel civilians he had gathered overnight.
Altogether, he had conquered the enemy and recruited no less than 20,000 bewitched people without fighting.
The number of people saved by the rest of the people sent by the military should be even higher than this.
In other words, according to his strategy, they forcibly recruited half of the rebels without losing a single soldier, and not even a single person died.
However, several people sent by the military were injured during the operation.
But it was only a minor injury, nothing compared to the credit they were about to receive.
Li Baotian, who was beside Liu Xin, also had a look of fatigue on his face at this moment.
It can be said that among the five consecutive actions, Li Baotian exerted the most strength.
Therefore, people who use their strength will always work harder than those who use their brains.
But Li Baotian didn't complain at all.
He watched helplessly as Liu Xin's plan came to this moment step by step.
Jin Yiwei has captured as many as five fortresses.
One of the wealthy families even had 10,000 shi of food hidden in their home.
This is one million kilograms of grain.
It was enough to feed the 50,000 rebels they recruited for half a year.
At the same time, this family also resisted the most fiercely among the five forts.
Ban Zong even killed two Dacheng realm warriors before he was able to calm the situation.
Many people in Jinyiwei were also injured, but fortunately no one died.
Ban Zong was so angry that he ordered the landlord to beheaded.
It was not that he had not thought about the consequences, because he knew the landowner, and behind him was a minister of household affairs.
And this was his apparent backstage. He didn't know who was behind the Minister of Household Affairs.
But when he saw so much food in the granary, he already understood why Liu Xin let them do this.
Even if Liu Xin doesn't endorse them, he won't be afraid of the many troubles afterwards.
It’s still unclear who will be liquidated now.
No one expected that a rebellion would involve many high-ranking officials in the court who were originally beyond their reach.
Ban Zong was already filled with admiration for Liu Xin.
And the more than forty cavalry guards led by Ban Zong have also established contact with Liu Xin.
Ban Zong received the news from Liu Xin that the last group of more than 3,000 people was about to arrive at the fortress where he was located.
At dawn in the early morning, it is estimated that the soldiers and horses in the imperial capital will leave the city to launch a surprise attack on the remaining rebels.
In the face of absolute power, this part of the rebels had no power to resist.
The most likely outcome is to capture these rebels at a very small cost.
And just when Liu Xin led three thousand uneasy people to the last fortress.
Li Baotian also led many bandit leaders and a bandit team of 1,000 people near the direction of Liu Xin.
Although this group of people is only at the level of stragglers, they are no match for the regular army.
But they are large in number and their per capita strength is relatively strong.
Liu Xin only had Fang Zihang and a few bandits under Fang Zihang.
Apart from that there are only three thousand encumbrances.
Based on Li Baotian's understanding of these people, it was a miracle that these people could stand upright in the face of their attacks.
There is a high probability that many people will flee in panic, and the remaining people will collapse on the ground.
There must be enough benefits 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 obey instructions.
However, at this time, among Liu Xin's team, the small amount of food brought by more than 30 Jinyiwei riders had already been cooked.
What the common people among the rebels cherish most is not the crude weapons issued to them, but the iron pots.
There are dedicated people to carry this iron pot, even if their team sometimes disbands and sometimes gathers.
The number of people is constantly changing. But the number of iron pots they have is always the same.
Just different people would count the number of iron pots countless times every day.
Therefore, at this moment, all the iron pots are in action.
I cooked pot after pot of rice, which was not thick and thin.
This team of 3,000 people. Everyone got at least a big mouthful of rice porridge. And Liu Xin also promised that as long as they could reach their destination, they would have white rice to eat.
And when this promise was made, the people carefully swallowed the mouthful of rice porridge. After eating it, 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 Zhang Bai Paper uses the same method.
Soon, the people carefully put away the iron pots.
The team continued forward, and they were ten miles away from the fortress.
At this time, it was not far from dawn.
They must arrive at the fortress before dawn so that the soldiers and horses in the imperial capital can identify the enemy they want to attack.
Just as the team advanced outside a dense forest, Liu Xin suddenly noticed something strange in the dense forest.
Because this was the darkest moment before dawn, even Liu Xin's eyesight could not clearly see what was going on in the dense forest.
But he could clearly sense that there seemed to be something hidden in the dense forest.
That is a source of danger that can engulf them.
Unfortunately, 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.
"Did Liu Qianshi find out too?"
Fang Zihang was the first to speak. With his mid-level Dacheng realm perception, he also clearly felt the crisis in the dense forest.
He could even detect a sense of oppression deep in the dense forest that even he could feel.
"Could they be real rebels?"
In this night's contact, Liu Xin had revealed his judgment to Fang Zihang.
One hundred thousand rebels are definitely not a real killing move.
And behind these 100,000 rebels, there may be a real rebel army waiting for something.
However, Liu Xin couldn't tell what the other party wanted to do before he actually launched it.
For now, they're just causing chaos.
"I don't know, but there will definitely be a bloody battle next."
"if we…"
Fang Zihang started speaking halfway.
But Liu Xin knew what he wanted to say from his expression.
“Maybe it’s a good approach, but we can’t gamble.
Let's leave first. If the other party can't catch us, we will get angry and kill these people.
They won't have any chance. "
“I sensed the pressure, and there might be someone of the same level as me in the dense forest.
These brothers of mine cannot stop other threats. "
As he said this, Fang Zihang looked at the bandits not far away. They followed him out, partly because they admired him, and partly because they wanted to save these people.
Not all bandits are evildoers.
Many bandits turned into bandits out of necessity.
If the world is really peaceful, if everyone can have enough food, clothing, and survival, who would be willing to live with their heads in their belts.
In this era, people revere the strong and respect the warriors, not because life is so difficult for an ordinary person.
Liu Xin followed Fang Zihang's gaze and said slightly apologetically:
"If you want to leave, I won't stop you.
But unfortunately, it seems that it is not easy for you to leave now.
Rather than leaving now, it is better to stay, maybe there will be a way to survive.
So I have to say sorry to you. "
"It doesn't matter, since you have become a bandit, you are already prepared to die violently one day.
Presumably they should have thought it through. "
Fang Zihang said very calmly. He had been a bandit for so many years and he knew the basic requirements of this profession very well.
He believed everyone else knew it too.
Therefore, he simply did not remind them and it would be better for them to face the coming crisis directly.
Otherwise, once you know what is going to happen, your mind will be confused and you will have more thoughts, which is not good.
Warriors should move forward without any distractions.
The team advanced another few hundred meters, and Liu Xin and Fang Zihang's sense of crisis became stronger and stronger. Even the bandits who followed Fang Zihang out felt a strange atmosphere, which made them feel uneasy.
There were not many people riding horses in the entire team. Except for Liu Xin, Fang Zihang and these few people, most of the other 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 figures starting to move in the dense forest in the distance.
"drive!"
Before the people in the dense forest could rush out, Liu Xin had already urged Chitu, who was sitting down, to rush forward.
Red Rabbit's body was already covered with a layer of vest, and Red Rabbit let out a low neighing sound. Without hesitation, he increased his speed to the limit, directly bursting out his powerful strength as a treasure.
Fang Zihang was following Liu Xin, but the distance was getting wider and wider.
He took a deep look at Chitu's back. This was a good horse, a rare good horse in the world.
Chitu followed Ban Zong and others at first, but returned to Liu Xin when Liu Xin surrendered without fighting.
Although it was the first time for the two to go to the battlefield together, Liu Xin found that he and Chitu instantly entered the realm of human and horse unity.
This is the state that the cavalry most hopes to achieve.
Liu Xin and Chitu achieved it effortlessly.
This is also because Chitu has already given everything to Liu Xin, starting from the moment Liu Xin rescued it.
And Liu Xin also fully trusts Chitu.
There are several long weapons tied to both sides of Chitu's body.
Of course, long weapons are still needed in horse battles. After a night of fighting, many weapons were captured from the hands of the bandit leaders.
A large part of Liuxin was given to the people for them to use for self-protection.
But some spears, spears and the like are now used by the people to pick things.
The people who rushed out of the dense forest did not expect that Liu Xin would charge at them without saying a word.
Among the rebel bandits, only the leaders have mounts, and most bandits can only move forward on their legs.
They arrived here half an hour ago and waited for half an hour. Their bodies were already a little numb under the night wind.
Originally, he could rejuvenate his body by taking advantage of the short distance from 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 bodies of the rebel bandits were still stiff and could not recover.
The ending was a face-to-face encounter. Chitu directly knocked away the two bandits without Liu Xin taking action, and then continued to crash into the bandits, knocking down many of them.
Red Rabbit's speed can be compared to that of a Dacheng Realm warrior running at full speed. Coupled with his strong body, the two who flew out must have died on the spot after the collision, and the others who were hit were also injured to varying degrees.
Before the bandits could react, the long knife in Liu Xin's hand had already been swung out.
Facing the crowd, the sword is more powerful, worthy of being the king of a hundred weapons.
The long knife swept across, and wherever the light of the knife passed, blood splattered and heads flew everywhere.
Three or four bandits were killed with one blow of the knife. Liu Xin swung his sword around twice, and dozens of people were killed by the knife.
This scene also deeply stimulated the group of bandits, making their hearts tremble, their livers and gallbladders split, and the fear in their hearts could not be increased for a while.
Liu Xin, on the other hand, kept watering and fertilizing the seeds of fear in their hearts, causing fear to grow rapidly.
In just two or three breaths, an open space appeared around Liu Xin.
Red Tuma and Liu Xin rushed into the crowd again, chopping melons and vegetables again.
His efficiency was no slower than Fang Zihang's previous attack on the enemy.
The main reason is that although there is a huge gap in cultivation between the two, these ordinary bandits are all just fake warriors who know a few tricks.
In front of the true Dacheng realm warriors, the combat effectiveness of these people is actually not much different from ordinary people.
Once the knife is sharp enough, no matter how sharp it is, the speed of chopping vegetables will not change significantly.
It's the same principle.
After a few breaths, Fang Zihang finally arrived, with a big knife in his hand.
For a moment, Liu Xin and Fang Zihang felt like they were in an uninhabited land, killing enemies like broken melons.
It was only then that the bandits who followed Fang Zihang came to their senses. They looked at each other and roughly guessed the origin of this group of people.
They killed countless fellow bandits that night. Judging from the situation, the other party must have come to take revenge.
And it seems that there are still people surging in the dense forest. It is estimated that there are hundreds of people coming this time.
If it were normal times, these people would definitely not step forward to die.
But Liu Xin and Fang Zihang showed their prowess, which gave them a little courage.
So several people also rode forward, but while they were still halfway there, a large number of people suddenly emerged from the dense forest, and there were also several people riding on horses, with extremely powerful momentum.
At first glance, you can tell that he is not an ordinary person.
But these people are already on the verge of death. They have no other choice but to rush forward, risking death.
Thinking of this, several people felt a little heroic, and they all roared and charged forward.
But the team of three thousand people stopped at this moment, and all the people stared at this scene dumbfounded, not knowing what happened.
He had just escaped from the tiger's mouth, but there was another abyss waiting for everyone in front of him.
Fortunately, most people had something in their stomachs, so they were not so frightened that they collapsed to the ground. What was even more amazing was that no one ran away, and everyone was watching.
I want to see if Liu Xin and the others can defeat the enemy in front of them.
Although there is a gap between a few people and hundreds of people, the three thousand people who have seen their power before have a vague expectation in their hearts.
In their eyes, Liu Xin and others were not even warriors, but gods descending from the sky.
In fact, in the minds of many people, warriors are gods and immortals.
In the hearts of the people, the bandits are the gangsters...the most powerful ones among them are the devils.
But 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 also had the cultivation level of the middle-grade Dacheng realm.
When he showed up and was about to kill Liu Xin, he was shocked to find Fang Zihang's middle-grade Dacheng realm aura.
He knew immediately that his information was wrong, but fortunately it was still within control.
But it is absolutely impossible for Fang Zihang to let Fantianhu and others in the low-level Dacheng realm fight. The gap between each level of Dacheng realm is huge.
If you hit a low-grade one, you will be defeated easily.
I can't make the mistake of Tian Ji's horse racing.
So Fang Zihang became Li Baotian's opponent.
"You are Black Knife!"
Li Baotian immediately recognized the black knife Fang Zihang carried behind him.
The bandit community is very large, and there are more than tens of thousands of bandits in the entire Zhengyang territory.
But it's a small thing. Although there are countless bandits in various places, there are not many who can really be called characters, and the number of famous ones is even pitiful.
A large part of them went to Liangshan.
It can be said to be a den of thieves.
Of course, there are also some who have their own rules of survival, or who don't like to be in groups or restricted by others, so they wander outside. The most famous one is the black knife of one person and one gang.
"I didn't expect you to have fallen into collusion with the court's hawks and dogs!"
Li Baotian shouted loudly, but Fang Zihang ignored him. He just stabbed a bandit with one shot, then left the spear in the bandit's body, took the black knife from his back, and then rode towards Li Baotian. past.
Liu Xinze glanced at Li Baotian's attribute panel not far away. What this guy said was really irritating.
From the words coming out of his mouth, he felt that his status as a royal guard was even lower than that of a mere bandit.
I want to see what you are made of, and you are so brazen.
