Chapter 251: Massacre of retreating troops
Yi Xifeng came to the big tent and saw the young man standing next to the huge sand table, still dressed like a mountain patrol, still without the hood, with a cold look on his bookish face.
"I've met the captain!" Zhang Yanyan, Lu Huahua and Zhou Di, who were the leaders, said in succession.
Zhang Yanshi and Lu Huahua, as the famous "iron-clad twins" in Yinren Village, naturally often have the opportunity to go on missions with the members of the mountain patrol team. Although most of them are underground missions, they also receive a lot of care from the captain.
Zhou Di studied art with Li Chengqian for a period of time when he was young, and as a child who grew up in the mountains, he also received a lot of care from Li Chengqian. Later, Li Chengqian left the mountain patrol team and handed over this important task to Bi Zhou Di. Li Chengtao is more than ten years older, so the two naturally know each other.
It's just that Zhou Di still found a training method suitable for him at that time, otherwise with his martial arts qualifications, he might have become a disciple of Li Chengtao.
"I heard about your performance during the night attack yesterday. To be honest, I didn't expect you to grow up so fast!" The scholar-like young man said slowly.
When Yi Xifeng heard what the other party said, he couldn't help curling his lips, but he was still quite happy in his heart. After all, he still understood the other party's character relatively well. Being able to get such praise showed that the action last night was indeed a great success.
"Second brother Chengtao, don't just praise us, give us something beneficial!" There were no more than two people present who could talk to Li Chengtao so brazenly, not including Yi Xifeng.
Everyone's eyes fell on a young man wearing a white animal skin cloak in the crowd. This person was Qi Chengcheng.
As the only son of the third elder Qi Chunhui, this funny boy is very senior in the village. He is the same generation as Li Chengqian, Lin Rufa and Li Chengtao. So to elaborate, when Lin Fenghuo met the other party, he even called him uncle of the Qi family!
Of course, Heizi would never want to call the other person that, but when his father was present, this kind of oppression caused by seniority made it difficult for the swarthy boy to fight back.
So since he was very young, Lin Fenghuo had avoided Qi Chengcheng. This is why when Yi Xifeng first saw the funny boy jumping out of the river at the Chunfeng River, Lin Fenghuo would say that he was because of his seniority. Gao, because he didn’t have many friends since childhood.
Li Chengtao smiled and looked at Zhao Yunming beside him. Seeing the tall, thin middle-aged man nodding, he cleared his throat and said:
"Due to the outstanding achievements of the twelve of you this time, after this war is over, each of you can receive 500 tributes from the pay list!"
As soon as these words came out, the seven teenagers who had never been in contact with the salary list organization were still a little confused, but the other five people all took a breath.
…
The salary list is the most important task system in Yinren Village. The warriors in Yinren Village can be rewarded with money or tribute by completing various tasks released by the salary list.
The so-called tribute is a quantitative reflection of the contribution these warriors made to the development and growth of the village.
Whenever a warrior completes a task, he will be rewarded with different amounts of silver or tribute according to the level of the task, such as which of the four levels of heaven, earth, xuan, and yellow tasks.
Under normal circumstances, there is no tribute reward for yellow-level tasks, only silver coins. Of course, you can give up the silver reward and exchange it for tributes at a ratio of one to twenty, but it cannot exceed ten tributes at a time.
Xuanjie tasks will reward Gongzi and Yinliang. However, the number of rewards is generally between one and ten tributes.
The number of tributes rewarded for earth-level tasks is larger, usually starting from ten, but not exceeding one hundred.
The rewards for heaven-level tasks are the most generous, and the rewards for tributes also start from one hundred.
In other words, the twelve people who blocked Helian Tiexin from the camp in the north of Yinren Village and launched the night attack on the cavalry camp in the early hours of yesterday morning were equivalent to completing a heaven-level mission!
And the reward is naturally generous, five hundred tributes, which is equivalent to an income of at least ten thousand taels, and it is priceless!
You know, for an ordinary strong man to work, a year's military salary plus other income is only more than two hundred taels of silver. Even if Zhou Di and Zhong Lingxi are captains, they can take on more tasks and get more money, but they are only four to five hundred taels.
As for the guards in iron clothes, they only earn thousands of taels of silver after working hard for a year. Famous masters like Zhang Yanshi and Lu Huahua may earn only ten thousand taels of silver a year.
Therefore, this reward is a generous reward even for Lu Huahua and Zhang Yanshi, who have seen the world.
…
After thinking about this, Yi Xifeng couldn't help but pat his own wine gourd. As expected, a person with a high position can make money quickly. His Qingxin Wine House, after being busy for a year, only brought an income of ten thousand taels of silver to the fair boy.
As for Li Chengtao's reward for this mission, he handed out 120,000 taels with a wave of his hand! It seems that the captain of the mountain patrol team is worthy of being a powerful figure in the village.
Of course, this was done with the tacit consent of Zhao Yunming, so the old man naturally had no objections to this reward. Although at first he thought that three hundred tributes per person would be enough, he did not expect that Li Chengtao waved it to five hundred per person.
But he won't say anything. These twelve people are the most outstanding people among the young generation in Yinren Village, even among the young generation. If we give them the resource allocation and let Lin Hengshan decide on this matter, there won't be anything wrong.
Besides, these twelve people include children from the six major families, who would be so blind as to bring this matter up?
While Yi Xifeng and the others were immersed in the joy of the reward, an announcement came from outside the camp.
"Come in!" Zhao Yunming said solemnly.
"Sir, the spies from the front came to report that the Ji people slaughtered them and they withdrew their troops!"
The tall, thin middle-aged man looked at Li Chengtao and said calmly: "Okay, I understand, you can go down. Let the spies continue to investigate."
The man wearing a raincoat and bamboo hat bowed and retreated.
"Captain, Ji Rentu chose to withdraw at this time. It seems that he has been preparing to withdraw for a long time." It was Qingzhu who spoke.
Although the middle-aged mountain patrol team was injured by Ji Rentu's sneak attack, his cultivation level was already at the level of a small adult. In just one or two hours, it has stabilized, but at this time, it seems that his face is still a little pale.
The young man with a scholarly temperament frowned and thought for a moment: "You mean, he is waiting for me to show up?"
Qingzhu glanced at Zhao Yunming, who was standing aside, and saw that his face was as usual, with a smile on his lips. He was obviously planning to test him, the person in charge of the intelligence team of the mountain patrol team.
Qingzhu secretly cursed the opponent as an "old fox", and then analyzed: "This time Ji Rentu used troops, it was a bit strange. When we were at the northern camp of Yinren, the opponent came with a mighty force of two thousand men and horses, but we defeated it. We have the vanguard, but there are still about 1,800 people."
"However, given this advantage, he did not take advantage of the victory and pursue it, but chose to divide his troops into Tiexin Village. This has violated a military taboo!"
Li Chengtao said softly: "Oh? So, the opponent's failure this time was due to this strategy of dividing the troops?"
Qingzhu shook his head and said: "If I hadn't played against him, I would have thought so. But I have played against this bald man a few times in the past few days. I still believe it if someone else made such a low-level mistake! If it were him, this would never be possible. !”
