The troops who retreated together hesitated for a moment when they heard the captain's order. Only a few turned back to resist Zhang Xuli's army, and most of them ran faster than Shen Wenyue and others.
Zhang Xuli chased for a while, but when he saw Shen Wenyue running away, he stopped and cleaned up the battlefield.
"What kind of person is Shen Wenyue? He can run so fast?" Zhang Xuli asked.
"He ran away before fighting. Fortunately, he betrayed us. Otherwise, he would be a coward and it would be useless." Feng Ziying said.
Murong Yi walked over from the cart and said, "There are still a lot of resources in the cart, which can be regarded as some small compensation for last time."
"I didn't hit the bandits or the army, but I hit Shen Wenyue. It's really cool." Zhang Xuli said with a smile.
"Then Shen Wenyue was in trouble this time. He was shot badly by Battalion Commander Murong." Feng Ziying said.
"I just wish I didn't have an arrow to kill him." Murong Yi said.
Feng Ziying said: "It's cheaper to shoot him to death and torture him slowly."
"This method is good," Zhang Xuli said: "When he comes out next time, give him a break and let him lie in bed every day."
"Hahaha," Feng Ziying said: "Tell the village chief the news quickly and make him happy too."
"Okay," Zhang Xuli said, "Let the army rest where it is and continue to sweep away the bandits tomorrow."
In the town office of Roy Town, Li Qun'ao walked into Xiu Jie's office and said, "Township Master, I have eliminated the army that looted the village."
"Well," Xiu Jie said, "If you go out to fight against the stray troops, there's no reason why you can't win."
Li Qun'ao continued: "But I heard that there are more and more bandits and wandering troops, and their combat power is getting stronger and stronger."
"No matter how strong you are, you can't be stronger than us." Xiu Jie said nonchalantly.
Futuo happened to come in and heard Li Qun'ao's words, and then said: "Zhen Gong, it seems that we can't underestimate the bandits and wandering soldiers. I said it last time, but if they frequently plunder the villages around us, it will have a negative impact on our development." unfavorable."
Xiu Jie thought for a moment, remained silent, raised his head again, and asked, "Do you have any good suggestions?"
Futuo said: "The first is to send a battalion of troops back and forth to look for bandits and bandits, and kill them when they encounter them. The second is to deploy a battalion of troops in each town. As long as the bandits appear in the jurisdiction of the town, they will go there." Destroy."
"One town and one camp, wouldn't it be too much?" Xiu Jie asked worriedly.
"Zhen Gong," Fu Tuo said: "With our current combat power, each town has only one battalion. Even if we include the troops of the villages under the town's jurisdiction, it is only about two battalions. And our Roy Town Among them, there are at least seven or eight battalions. The difference in combat power is too big, so the mayor can rest assured."
Xiu Jie thought about it and it was right. After all, the town under his jurisdiction had few troops and was definitely no match for Roy's town, so he would never dare to betray him. "What Commander Fu said makes sense, I will make arrangements right away."
On the road near the Cave of Oblivion, an army of more than a thousand people was walking slowly with saws in their hands.
"Master Zhen, do you really want to cut down the forest?" Xu Gong asked in disbelief.
"This forest is too weird. If you don't get rid of it, it will be difficult to get close to the Cave of Oblivion." Bailiguang said.
"Don't be naive," Xu Gong said with a hint of ridicule: "The forest is so big. Once it is cut down, this life will be over."
"There's nothing wrong with this," Baili Guang said confidently: "As long as I have enough people, I can finish the whole thing by cutting down a tree each person."
"There are not enough people in the entire Zhongzhou continent." Xu Gong said.
Baili Guang glanced at Xu Gong and said, "We don't really want to cut down the forest. We just want to cut a road to make it easier to walk."
"It will take a long time to cut a road," Xu Gong said.
"There's nothing you can do about it. Cut slowly and the road will eventually come out."
The two people walked while talking. When they arrived outside the woods, Baili Guang stopped and looked at the endless woods, lowering his head and thinking.
Seeing that Baili Guang was silent, Xu Gong asked, "What's wrong with you? The forest is right in front, why don't you cut it down?"
Bailiguang raised his head, looked at the woods carefully and recalled for a while, then said: "I was thinking about where to find a way out, which is safe and convenient."
"Just cut along the riverside last time." Xu Gong said impatiently.
Bailiguang said: "The terrain next to the river is narrow, winding and uneven. The streams intersect with the mountains. There is no way to cut a road. Only you and I can walk."
"Then cut all the way into the woods by the river." Xu Gong said.
Bailiguang nodded, "That's all."
Bailiguang led the army again and went around the river.
"That's it." Bailiguang stopped and said softly.
Xu Gong swung his bloodthirsty tomahawk, walked to a half-meter-thick tree, picked up the bloodthirsty tomahawk with both hands, stepped forward, turned around violently, and the bloodthirsty tomahawk followed his body in a circle in the air. , with a "bang" sound, it fell on the big tree.
A burst of leaves fell from the air, and the big tree slowly fell.
Xu Gong put away his bloodthirsty battle ax and said, "This tree is not very strong either."
"How can I withstand your axe?" Bailiguang said, turning around and shouting to the army behind him: "Everyone started to cut down the tree, straight from here to the front, with a width of ten meters, just one team per row. , push forward, and the wood will be transported out, just in time for building buildings.”
"yes."
After a loud shout, the army walked into the woods and began to cut down the trees as Bailiguang asked.
"Let's go along the river and walk slowly inside to see the Cave of Oblivion." Bailiguang raised his steps and walked towards the river.
Xu Gong followed Baili Guang and said, "The Cave of Oblivion, just walking in from here takes a long time."
"So I want to make a road so that the army can enter easily."
"In this way, other towns will also go to the Cave of Forgottenness." Xu Gong said.
"The only people who can get here now are Tassen Town. The nearby villages have been annexed by us and Tassen Town. If other towns want to come here, they have to go through us or Tassen Town."
"You can walk through the wilderness. When I was a wandering army, I didn't have many roads to walk on. I always moved in the wilderness."
Bailiguang said: "The wilderness consists of lakes, mountains, woods, swamps, rivers, etc. Many places are inaccessible. It may be easy for one or two people to walk, but it will definitely be difficult for the army."
"That's true," Xu Gong said: "Our army also has its sights on a place, and we are moving around there. If we want to move, we still have to take the main road."
"We're almost there." Bailiguang said, grabbing a raised rock with his fingers, raising his feet, and boarding a raised rock. "Just go over this hillside and follow the river below the hillside. , will be there in less than half an hour.”
