An uncle covered in blood was helped to stand in front of Li Ke. Judging from the wounds and scratches, it seemed that someone was chasing him and cutting him, and he looked like he must be killed.
"There's a thief!"
The breath is getting weaker and weaker, and the situation is not very optimistic. The face that has lost too much blood looks like a paper prick. There is no military doctor in the camp who can treat such a serious injury.
Qizhou's business was very easy, so it attracted businessmen from nearby counties and counties to do business. Naturally, it also attracted bandits along the way. Although Qin Zaiming personally led troops to encircle and suppress the bandits, he was unable to suppress the bandits with all his strength.
"Leave a few people to take care of him, and then send someone to find out the situation!"
Now only Li Ke can give orders in the camp. Qin Zaiming is patrolling with others. He understands that this is deliberate avoidance, mainly because the bandits are too rampant.
If the bandits along the way knew that the King of Shu was personally suppressing bandits, they would not dare to kill people and steal goods on official roads. However, the transmission of information in the Tang Dynasty could only rely on word of mouth and correspondence, so that was what Li Ke had to do next. He had to investigate first. Which group did it.
The sound of horse hooves sounded again, but the uncle died of his injuries.
"Your Majesty, we can leave things like suppressing bandits to the future. Qizhou still needs you to take care of it!"
"Your Majesty, what General Qin said is true. Suppressing bandits is too dangerous. We can't afford it if something goes wrong!"
Chen Shou and Qin Zaiming rarely agreed, mainly because the King of Shu wanted to personally lead a team to encircle and suppress the group of bandits in Erlong Mountain. The rangers had determined that Erlong Mountain was responsible for killing people and stealing goods, and also found a pile of corpses buried on the spot.
The bandits that were encircled and suppressed before were all robbers on the road. The gangsters only needed money to live. However, the bandits in Erlongshan directly killed people and silenced them. I heard that they even kidnapped several female relatives.
Erlong Mountain is easy to defend but difficult to attack. The previous several attempts to suppress the bandits failed to completely wipe them out. Now it is really unbearable to start trouble on Li Ke's head.
The key is to attack the two mountain gates, but all of them are cavalry. There is no special siege force, and the cavalry is very noisy. It may not be possible to enter the first mountain gate at all.
"I have decided. I will take Qin Zaiming to fight against Erlong Mountain. I will bring fifty good men with me and completely wipe out that group of people!"
Li Ke knew how to attack Erlong Mountain, which had a difficult terrain. The cliffs were also a blind spot for the village. With so much property plundered, there was probably a lot of fun going on inside. The opportunity was really rare.
He used to like rock climbing, and the side of Erlong Mountain is a good breakthrough point. The key is to be protected around him. He really couldn't suppress the bandits himself. This time, he must eliminate the most arrogant group of bandits in Qizhou.
All dynasties and dynasties could not change the fact that some people turned into bandits. All they could do was to keep suppressing the bandits. In the territory of the Tang Dynasty, only Erlongshan's group dared to be so arrogant.
"Your Majesty, the general would like to ask you if you have ever led an army. If not, you should let the general come!"
Qin Zaiming knew a little about the King of Shu. Although he didn't like reading, he had never led troops to fight. He just liked to wield swords and guns.
"Of course, I'm the best at horseback riding and slashing. Don't worry, I'll prepare something for climbing. We'll ride here and then we'll climb into Erlong Mountain."
Li Ke likes to play strategy games, especially leading troops to fight. Now is the time to practice it.
Although Chen Shou repeatedly obstructed him, he still listened to his own words. He had many things to do. As the prince of Qizhou, he naturally had to protect his own territory and show some real skills.
People with both civil and military skills may be able to win the hearts of the people in Qizhou better in this way. Suppressing bandits is a big thing, and the only one who can overcome the difficulties is himself.
Unable to stand up to the King of Shu, Qin Zaiming still followed. As the night gradually dissipated, the action team composed of fifty people successfully arrived at the side of Erlong Mountain. No one was watching along the way. However, in order to avoid alerting the snake, he got drunk. Their throats were still cut.
Li Ke heard the sound of running water and smelled the smell of blood in the air. Killing was a technical job, and he might not have the chance to do it.
"I know what you want to say. Let me go back or stay here and wait for you to come back. Don't forget that I came up with this raid plan. I also want to help Qizhou suppress the bandits. Stop talking."
Before Qin Zaiming opened his mouth, he explained the reason clearly, and even used his identity as a prince to suppress the general next to him. Li Ke knew that this man's heart was not here, but he still followed his duty to participate in the special operation.
He looked up and saw that there were scattered torches marking Erlong Mountain. Erlong Mountain was not particularly high. Qin Zaiming selected a few good climbers and asked them to lower the rope when they reached the top.
If you fall down here, you will really see it again in the next life. In order to facilitate movement, the group of people are traveling lightly. If someone cuts them or is hit by an arrow, they will die. Should they retreat?
"Die, die, come on!"
Now that we are here, we can no longer give up. Li Ke grabbed the rope and kept climbing up. He has to fight for whatever he wants. He just gave Qizhou some life, how could he back down here.
Ah~!
A burning thing jumped off the cliff, just passing by Li Ke and Qin Zaiming, and then there was a dull sound, it was a man on fire jumping down from Erlong Mountain.
Having reached the middle section, there was no way to go down, so Qin Zaiming could only reach the top of the mountain faster than King Shu.
"I don't know. We saw that man on fire just now, and then he jumped down. He really wasn't one of ours!"
The subordinate reported it in time. Qin Zaiming's face was very worried. He turned and glanced at the King of Shu who had just climbed up. He was afraid that something else would happen here. No matter how brave fifty people were, they would not be able to win easily, and the prince was still present.
After Li Ke stood firm, he glanced at the sentry in front of him. Even if the village was celebrating the robbery and harvest, he would not relax his vigilance so much. He didn't see anyone. In addition to the weird scene just now, it would be false to say that he was not afraid.
In addition to rogue bandits, the bandits in Erlong Mountain also include some deserters and gangsters. Therefore, they were the most active group of bandits before Li Ke took over Qizhou. They may not be able to defeat the regular army head-on, but they should also understand basic defense, but No one was seen in the village.
"Your Majesty, why don't you wait here? I will lead the troops to fight quickly. Please help me, Your Highness!"
"No, the troops are divided into three groups, two groups attack the stronghold, and the other group quickly opens the gate of the stronghold and allows the reinforcements to gather and act together!"
Li Ke wanted to establish himself as a perfect character in both civil and martial arts. As long as he destroyed Erlong Mountain and let people publicize it, he would definitely become the top figure in the Tang Dynasty, but he still had lingering fears.
Is the guy who caught fire just now from Erlongshan? Why was he on fire?
The den of thieves was right in front of them, so they had to move forward bravely. Li Ke led his people and rushed into the stronghold.
