In this world, there is no absolutely weak creature.
Just like bees and wasps.
For humans, it is a very simple thing to crush a bee or a wasp to death, but the damage caused by hundreds of bees and wasps is fatal.
Another example is wolfdog.
One wolf dog is obviously no match for the Homo erectus, but what about two or three wolves?
At this moment, Qingfeng Village was in chaos.
Eight hundred Qingqi brought by Ling Ning surrounded the village and shot the bandits with their bows and arrows. Some of the thieves' wives and children begged for mercy, but Ling Ning showed no mercy.
Wang Biao, the leader of Qingfeng Village, rushed towards Ling Ning with a machete in his hand. Seeing that the village he had worked so hard to build was destroyed, he was filled with hatred and wanted to kill Ling Ning even if he died.
"Swish swish!"
A dense barrage of arrows shot at Wang Biao. Although Wang Biao tried his best to resist, he was still hit by several arrows, but at this time he had already arrived in front of Ling Ning.
Ling Ning had no intention of taking action. Du Twelve beside him had already drawn his sword and sealed his throat with a sweep of sword light.
"boom!"
Wang Biao fell at Ling Ning's feet, and the leader of the misbehaving thief was beheaded!
After two sticks of incense, Qingfeng Village returned to calm.
Ling Ning opened the system:
[Kill 652 enemies, will warriors descend? 】
[Currently, a total of 6177 enemies have been eliminated. Will they come immediately? 】
Ling Ning did not choose to come, but continued to exist.
Now there are more than 6,000 warriors. If we continue to work hard, we will soon reach 10,000.
The sudden appearance of 10,000 soldiers will directly change the situation of a war. So this was Ling Ning's back-up plan, which could catch the enemy by surprise and kill them off guard.
"Lord, I found a woman wearing a wedding dress. She said she was snatched away by the bandit leader." At this time, the guard came to report.
Ling Ning looked at the red lanterns hanging high around her. No wonder they were decorated with lanterns today.
immediately,
Ling Ning came to the bridal chamber and saw the bride.
The woman was frightened, her eyes were filled with tears, and she was so touching. But I have to say that the woman has an outstanding appearance and is a great beauty. No wonder the bandit leader is so eager to get married.
"Don't be afraid, girl, the bandits in Qingfeng Village have been eliminated. Where are you from?" Ling Ning asked gently with a smile on her face.
When the woman heard that the bandits had been eliminated, her eyes immediately brightened, and then she said: "I am from Lizhou City, my name is Shen Yueru. I was originally going to Jingzhou to visit relatives, but I didn't expect that I was attacked by bandits when I passed here. The guards and housekeepers who protected me They were all killed, wuwu..."
As she spoke, the woman's pear blossoms fell into the rain.
Ling Ning raised an eyebrow and asked, "The Shen family in Lizhou City? Could it be the Shen family trading firm?"
Shen Yueru nodded and said in surprise: "You know my family?"
Ling Ning smiled and said, "I have heard that you are safe now. I will arrange for someone to escort you back tomorrow."
"Thank you, sir." Shen Yueru thanked him.
That day, Ling Ning stayed overnight in Qingfeng Village.
He left the next day and took away the grain, grass, gold, silver and jewelry from Qingfeng Village. Even though this little bandit mountain had a lot of grain, grass, gold, silver and jewelry, it showed how many merchants they had harmed.
The last fire burned Qingfeng Village, and the entire village was destroyed in the raging fire.
Next, is the second bandit village.
Use the same method to destroy it.
This time, Ling Ning gained more than 500 warriors.
Then came the third bandit camp, which brought more than 500 soldiers to Ling Ning.
After wiping out these three bandit villages, Ling Ning led the people back to Black Tooth Pass.
At the same time, news that Ling Ning led his troops to annihilate the bandit camp also spread throughout Suizhou.
Suizhou already borders Yanzhou and has a close relationship. The people in Suizhou all respect Ling Xingshuang, the king of the northern county. Now that Ling Ning has helped them get rid of the evil, the people all applaud and praise him.
…
Back at Black Tooth Pass, Ling Ning rested for the night.
It was said to be a break, but it was actually very hard, because he had to compete with Du Twelve and let him see the subtlety of his marksmanship.
And from Du Twelve, Ling Ning felt the unrestrained and stubbornness that other women could not bring to her. She was worthy of being a female general who was not inferior to men, and she was so energetic.
The next morning, Ling Ning had to set off.
The imperial court's 250,000 soldiers and horses have been assembled and are heading towards Yanzhou. Ling Ning needs to go to Lishui Pass to check the strength and defense situation there to ensure that everything is safe.
Because among the four passes in Yanzhou, the most likely one for the imperial troops to attack was Lishuiguan.
Firstly, it is because Lishuiguan is in the south, and secondly, the terrain of Lishuiguan is flatter than that of Heiyaguan and Guangyuguan.
If Ling Ning was given the choice, he would also choose Lishuiguan.
Du Wengheng sent Ling Ning out of the customs and saw each other for ten miles.
"General Du, go back." Ling Ning smiled.
Du Shengheng reminded: "My lord is going to Lishuiguan, please be careful of Qian Qianzhao, the guard of Lishuiguan!"
"Oh? Why did you say that?" Ling Ning knew that Du Shengheng was not a snitch behind his back, so there must be a reason for him to say this.
Du Shengheng said: "Although Qian Qianzhao is capable, he is greedy for fame and fortune. I'm afraid the court will make a fuss about it."
Ling Ning nodded and said, "I will write it down."
Then the two parties said goodbye.
…
Four days later.
Ling Ning and his party approached Lishui Pass.
To the south from Shuiguan, there is a flat area. This is why the Chen Kingdom wants to occupy Yanzhou. As long as it controls Yanzhou, a transportation hub, it can drive southward and gallop on horseback.
Ling Ning reined in her horse, looked at Jia Huaiying beside her, and asked, "Did Qian Qianzhao's parents, wife and children ever come to Yanzhou?"
Jia Huaiying shook his head and said: "Shoujiang Qian's parents are old and suddenly fell ill and were bedridden. His wife and children need to stay at home to take care of them, so they didn't come to pick them up."
Ling Ning nodded, and then knocked the door directly without passing the message.
…
"Your Majesty is outside the customs?"
Qian Qianzhao was not surprised at all after hearing the report from his subordinates. He seemed to have expected Ling Ning to come.
Subsequently,
Qian Qianzhao came out of the gate to greet him: "Qian Qianzhao, who is a humble servant, came to see my lord. I didn't know that my lord was coming here, but I didn't come from a distance to welcome you. Please forgive me."
Ling Ning dismounted, helped him up, and said with a smile: "General Qian, please get up quickly. The imperial army is about to attack, and it is very likely that they will attack Lishuiguan, so I inspected three passes and placed the last one at Lishuiguan. Shuiguan. At the same time, prepare to dispatch troops and generals to send more troops here."
"Lord, please rest assured, I will be with you at Lishuiguan, and we will defend Lishuiguan to the death." Qian Qianzhao vowed.
Ling Ning nodded with satisfaction.
Next, Ling Ning entered the pass, inspected Lishui Pass, and then settled in the pass.
After settling down Ling Ning and others, Qian Qianzhao returned to his room. Just as he sat down, a cold man's voice suddenly sounded from the darkness in the corner of the room: "The people are here, when are you going to take action?"
"Tonight!" Qian Qianzhao stroked the handle of the knife with his right hand, a look of ferocity on his face.
The man in the darkness asked again: "Is it too hasty?"
Qian Qianzhao shook his head and said: "Although I am the guard general of Lishui Pass, many lieutenants, generals, and captains in the pass are still loyal to Ling Ning. If we don't take action now, if we show our flaws, we will lose the opportunity!" "
After saying that, Qian Qianzhao looked excited.
