The battle started quickly and ended even faster. It only took half an hour from beginning to end.
There was a huge collapse on the opposite side, and everyone lost their courage to fight and began to flee...
Li Qing shouted softly: "Those who surrender will not be killed, and those who dare to escape will not be spared!"
This small voice is very penetrating and hits people's hearts directly.
"Those who surrender will not be killed!!"
The samurai under his command also shouted.
Under the pressure of life and death, the hundreds of people on the other side instinctively chose to obey. They squatted on the ground one by one, which was called being honest.
We couldn't tolerate their dishonesty. In just half a quarter of an hour, we lost more than a hundred people. This was not a battle at all, but a one-sided massacre.
Especially Li Qing, his terrifying force value made them afraid to the core.
More than half of the more than a hundred people died at the hands of Li Qing, which was far beyond their understanding.
In the hearts of this warrior who loves martial arts and has a serious and almost twisted mentality of admiring strength, this kind of person is the supreme god and cannot be violated.
The situation was quickly brought under control.
They threw away their hammers and pickaxes, took off their belts and bound their feet as required, and accepted the judgment of fate.
After counting, there were still more than 350 people.
As for Li Qing, only nine people were killed in the battle and about twenty were injured. It was considered a great victory.
In this battle, not only hundreds of people were captured, but also more than a hundred kilograms of gold that could not be transported away in the future, which can be said to be a full harvest.
However, Li Qing did not want to stop there.
It took more than two months to prepare equipment and train troops. There must be corresponding results.
At this moment, he still has the fighting strength of 150 elite men. After this battle, his will to fight is even higher.
In this kind of small-scale combat, the quality of individual soldiers is too important. Although there are only 150 people, the energy burst out cannot be underestimated.
This battle gave me confidence.
These people have the belief to dare to fight!
Li Qing naturally wanted to take advantage of the situation to expand his victory. He released the two of them and asked them to report to the local guardian agent. He planned to work as the guardian agent first and then march into the county!
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Qing set nine levels for his warriors, with ninth level being the lowest and first level being the highest.
In terms of treatment, the salary increases according to the level of the warrior.
Li Qing promoted everyone to the eighth-level warriors, and gave these original stocks a certain degree of detachment. This was not only an affirmation of them, but also to consolidate his power.
The opening of the ascending channel can improve combat effectiveness even better than ordinary military training. It can stimulate people's most primitive desire driving force.
After doing this, Li Qing made arrangements for the next battle.
At this time, the aide Murakami Takumi once again showed his role. This guy had stayed in the political center and knew the guardian Dai very well, especially the guardian Dai here in his hometown.
Offering advice: "Great God, our guardian here is a man named Shang Shanye. I have dealt with him. This man is extremely ruthless, but suspicious by nature;
He will definitely not come out in full force. There is a high probability that he will send a group of people to find out the truth first. But if we beat him too hard, maybe he will not come. After all... he only has a thousand to a few hundred in his hands. People have now lost nearly 500 yuan;
The villain suggested that we just need a small victory to give him the illusion that he can defeat us as soon as the main force arrives. "
Inoue Saburo hummed: "What are you afraid of? If he doesn't come, we will just fight him!"
However, Takumi Murakami said: "This is not advisable. If you can get into the guardian role, you are not an ordinary person. Besides, let's fight him and fight him. There is a huge difference;
He has ruled for such a long time, and still has prestige. We can recruit more warriors at any time. We plunge in, isolated and helpless, and are attacked everywhere. Even though the more than a hundred warriors are covered in iron, we are afraid that they will not be able to defeat him, so we still have to let them fight. we. "
Saburo Inoue's face heated up and he said angrily: "Master, what do you think?"
Li Qing nodded and said, "Just follow Murakami Takumi's plan."
After a pause, "Takumi Murakami, how far is the mountain wilderness from us?"
"About thirty miles or so." Saburo Inoue replied quickly, "He got the news, and considering the mobilization time, it will have to be tomorrow afternoon no matter what."
Murakami Takumi nodded in agreement: "That's right."
Then, he asked: "Should we let these people be cannon fodder?"ωＷω.ＧoＮЬ.οrＧ
"What if they rebel?" Saburo Inoue snorted, then looked at Li Qing and asked, "Master, what do you think?"
Li Qing smiled: "No need for them, send people back to get some delicious food, and reward the warriors first."
"Yes." Saburo Inoue stood up and went.
Takumi Murakami waited for him to leave, then said: "Master, there is something I want to report to you."
"explain."
"That Ueyamano is working with the Hosokawa family. If we eat him, we may be retaliated by the Hosokawa family." Murakami Takumi said with a solemn expression:
"There are still three thousand nails left in the broken ship. After Hosokawa Katsumoto's death, although the Hosokawa clan has declined in power, it is still a behemoth. If we really want to fight against them... we are afraid that we will not be able to win!"
In this battle, he witnessed Li Qing's unparalleled force value and the skills of Li Qing's superior after the war. He was completely conquered by him. He believed that following Li Qing, he would succeed.
That's why he tried so hard to prove his worth.
Li Qing smiled and said: "Your worries are reasonable, but this situation will almost never happen."
"Why, why?"
"As you said, the Hosokawa clan is not as powerful as before, so they will not do thankless things easily. For them, it does not matter who becomes the guardian. What is important is that the guardian is with them."
Murakami Takumi was stunned, and then he sighed in admiration: "What the great god said is that the villain is stupid."
He said happily: "As long as we express our loyalty to him, not only will the Hosokawa family not beat us, but they may also give us some support."
"No," Li Qing said seriously, "We want to do big things, how can we be inferior to others?
The structure should be more liberal. Guardianship is just the first step, not even a small goal. "
This is really arrogant. If it were another person, Takumi Murakami would sneer at it, but when Li Qing said it, he would instinctively believe it.
The tone of voice of someone who has been in a position of power for a long time made him have no doubts.
It seems...that's it.
Although there are currently less than 200 elites, Takumi Murakami feels that that day is not far away.
…
The next day, early in the morning.
After resting and recuperating, the warriors once again became more vigorous and vigorous. On the other hand, the hundreds of people who surrendered were already dying and half-dead due to the devastation caused by the lack of water and rice for nearly a day and night.
This is what Li Qing wants. The battle is about to begin, and he doesn't want any surprises.
After breakfast, Li Qing made combat arrangements, then rested and waited for his prey to come.
In the afternoon, at the beginning of Shen Shi.
A team of about three hundred people came all the way. They were holding iron bars and samurai swords in their hands, and they all looked fierce, as if they were coming to destroy the place.
But compared to the more than 300 people who tied their own feet, they seemed more sturdy, at least they didn't look like miners.
When he saw the one hundred and fifty people on Li Qing's side, all holding samurai swords and watching them calmly, his arrogance subsided a lot.
This team is small in number, but full of murderous aura. It is not like ordinary weapons at all, and the shogunate's escort team is nothing more than that.
A leader stood up and shouted: "Hand over the gold mine, let our people go, and you will be spared!"
Saburo Inoue said with a cruel smile: "What if we don't let him go?"
"Then don't blame us for being unkind!" The leader's face darkened.
Of course he knew that this team was not easy to mess with, but they were not vegetarians, unlike the little shrimps sent to mine before.
Li Qing swung the sword and said, "Hit!"
As soon as the words fell, one hundred and fifty people immediately raised their samurai swords high and charged to kill with howls, all of them fearless of death.
"Kill them." The leader was slightly shocked and quickly responded.
The people below were not afraid, so they picked up the thing in their hands and rushed forward.
In an instant, there was a close fight.
“Clang…Puff…”
When the fight begins, a decision will be made.
Li Qing's team, which has a katana per capita, is so lethal, especially the calm and bloodthirsty eyes, it is terrifying to look at.
Moreover, as they approached, they also discovered that there were no less than a few hundred people from their own team lying in the distance.
As soon as the battle started, they lost the courage to continue fighting, and some even stepped back.
The leader was decisive. When he saw this, he immediately shouted: "Retreat, retreat!"
He just came to explore the truth, and he was not an elite. He was obviously no match for Li Qing's well-equipped team, so it would be unwise to fight hard.
They retreated after almost only one encounter. Even so, more than thirty people were left behind.
Fortunately, the other party did not pursue him.
The leader swallowed his saliva and looked at the group of people standing on the pile of rocks, mocking wantonly, but he didn't even have the courage to say harsh words.
He understood that even if the opponent was outnumbered by him, if the fight continued, he would be the only one who would be defeated. The strength of the two sides was not at the same level.
~
After the opponent withdrew, Li Qing began to mobilize before the battle. The next battle would be difficult, and it was necessary to stimulate the desire of these warriors to fight.
"After defeating Shanye, all the warriors will be promoted to one level, and the vanguard will be promoted to two levels. After the war, they will be rewarded based on their merits." Li Qing promised, "The warriors who died in battle will receive a pension of twenty taels of gold;
Those who are cowardly and afraid of fighting will be killed! "
With the opening of the ascending passage and the heavy reward, a group of warriors who had a strong desire to fight were completely excited.
As for cowardice... After two consecutive victories, their self-confidence has increased exponentially, and they don't know how to write the word "fear" at all.
Of course, they are indeed different from ordinary people now. This is due to Li Qing's special training and the handy katana.
A group of people were sharpening their knives, and the harsh sound of metal friction came one after another, which frightened the dying miners to death.
Li Qing asked Saburo Inoue to give them some water and promised that as long as they were honest, he would let go of their restraints after the war was over, which calmed their hearts.
Li Qing was reluctant to kill the ready-made labor force.
After finishing preparations for the battle, Li Qing meditated and rested, trying to improve his condition to the best possible level.
To be honest, he didn't know where his limits were.
His previous battles were all large-scale legionary battles, focusing on coordinating battle formations and cavalry charges, focusing more on destroying the enemy's camp rather than killing the enemy;
Although he has shown personal prowess, he has never completely let go of his hands and feet just to kill the enemy.
This time, he wanted to test his hundred-year-old Qi to see how lethal it was against this so-called warrior whose combat power was far inferior to that of the Tatars.
