In the sunny sky, Lin Yuan sent Yang Zian to the edge of the woods. This time Yang Zian went to Xinghua with only two people. They had to pretend to be small merchants. For this reason, Lin Yuan handed over the only bullock cart Yang Zian, gave Yang Zian a sum of money he didn't have much money.

"Take care of yourself." Lin Yuan held Yang Zian's hand tightly.

Every time someone goes out, his heart is always hanging in the air, falling there.

No one knows what is waiting for them in the future.

Being able to come back safely before does not mean that we can also come back later.

Luck is the most uncertain thing.

Yang Zi'an also held Lin Yuan's hand instead, and after a strong grip, he turned over and sat in the bullock cart. Before leaving, he rushed to Lin Yuan and said, "A knife can't see blood, it's not a good knife, a soldier doesn't kill, it's not a good soldier."

Lin Yuan let out a sigh after Yang Zian left.

After a day of thinking, Lin Yuan called Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang has recently been eating and living with the "soldiers", and they have mixed up. Some people obey him and some people disagree with him. This is all in Lin Yuan's expectation. People are complicated and each has its own way of thinking. , Is a person.

"Since the training is almost done, it's time to get real." Lin Yuan said, "This time I will be with you and take people to find the bandits nearby."

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes seemed to be shining: "It should be so!"

Lin Yuan nodded: "We will start tomorrow morning, early."

"There is no need to eat breakfast." Lin Yuan said again.

Zhu Yuanzhang was taken aback for a moment, and said rather sadly: "It seems I should eat more tonight."

Lin Yuan laughed twice, separated from Zhu Yuanzhang, and went back to their own rooms.

Although it was a bit inhumane to fight hungry, Lin Yuan felt that it was better to be safe when he went to fight bandits for the first time.

He forgot where he heard it. On the eve of the war, the soldiers could not get enough to eat. They could only eat at the celebration banquet. For the belly, the soldiers had to fight desperately.

He wanted to try this method, but he was a little worried, so he just didn't give a breakfast.

This night Lin Yuan didn't sleep well. He tossed and turned on the bed. His dreams were full of fighting scenes. When Lin Yuan woke up from the bed in the morning, watching the light shining through the window, he touched his back and was all in cold sweat.

When he dressed neatly, walked out of the house, and left the half-built city wall, all he saw were soldiers lined up.

All of them are wearing rattan armor, holding weapons in their hands, with their heads up and their heads upright. Everyone here knows what they are going to do today, but apart from a little fear, more of them are excited. Clearly, after training for so long, today is the time for testing.

What's more, they have rattan armour and weapons. They are stepping on platform shoes made by women who stayed up late to work. Walking on the road is like walking in the clouds, without worrying about slippery feet.

Because there is no horse, I can only go on foot, and everyone carries a water bottle made of bamboo.

Food can only be sourced locally, and Lin Yuan followed them to gnaw edible bark.

The wisdom of the working people in ancient times. They knew which trees had edible bark. After peeling off the bark, there was a layer of white stuff attached to the bark. This layer of stuff was edible. Although it was not tasteful, you had to eat a lot to fill your stomach. , But talk is better than nothing, people can be comforted by something in their mouths.

They walked for three days and three nights and finally saw a stockade before sunset.

The bandits occupy the mountain as the king and do not listen to the imperial order. They live by robbing houses and robbing men and women.

They will let these young men join them and harm their neighbors with them.

The women will be locked up by them, and if they are beautiful and are favored by a higher status, they can live better.

But if they are average and are not seen, they will become a tool for the bandits to vent their desires.

On this day, Lin Yuan and the others did not act rashly, nor did they light a fire. They just observed the stockade in a hidden place. Although it is a bandit stockade, the unexpected thing is that the division of labor is very clear. There is a watchtower and a night watchman. The torch is built in a shed, but it is not simple. On the contrary, it can be regarded as luxurious compared with ordinary houses.

The approximate number is about 300 people, which is a medium-sized stockade.

However, they did not have many weapons. After one day of observation, they found that there were no more than fifty people with knives, and more people were holding wooden sticks.

Lin Yuan whispered to discuss with Zhu Yuanzhang: "We can only attack it."

They spent almost a week observing the village.

Every two days there will be a group of people going down the mountain in this village. When they come back, they will bring a lot of supplies. It seems that they have been snatched from the homes of the people, and sometimes they will bring women up the mountain.

There can be nearly two hundred people in this group, leaving more than one hundred people to guard the village.

In the absence of any long-distance accurate communication method, if they attacked these people while they were going down the mountain, the people in the stockade would have no way to notify the people who had gone down the mountain.

"After fifty people go around, fifty people rush forward." Lin Yuan drew this terrain on the ground with his fingers. He painted it crudely, but Zhu Yuanzhang could understand it, "Look, this is the largest in their stockade. The house owner should live here."

"Although it is not certain whether the village owner was in the village at the time, it was the fastest to rush from here."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, indicating that he knew it. He said, "I will lead people around."

Lin Yuan: "I'll lead people forward. Once there is a noise on my side, you must do it as soon as possible."

Zhu Yuanzhang: "I understand."

Now Zhu Yuanzhang is still in the learning stage. Lin Yuan himself crossed the river by feeling the stones, but Lin Yuan has one advantage, that is, the knowledge he acquired in modern times.

One thing that modern people are better than ancient people is that they have received information from all directions since they were born. These are very precious treasures.

But the ancients lacked these wealth. What is the speed of modern high-speed rail?What is the speed of the ancient carriage?

Lin Yuan thought of having fun in his hardship, and he was standing on the shoulders of giants.

After waiting for another two days, it was finally the day when Lin Yuan decided to attack. He was giving a mobilization speech to the soldiers. He pointed to the stockade: "There is food, meat, and wine. As long as it is shot down, everything there is. Yours, you can not only eat and drink, you can also take it home to enjoy with your family and friends."

The soldiers' eyes widened.

Lin Yuan said that, but they seemed to have smelled the smell of meat and wine.

Many people here have never drunk alcohol in their entire lives.

Wine is made with fine grains.

"There are still women in there." Lin Yuan said, "As long as you save them back, maybe you can hold the big fat boy next year."

The eyes of the soldiers became more frantic.

What is the pursuit of the people at the bottom?To eat and drink, to have a daughter-in-law, to have a baby, this is the supreme pursuit.

At this time someone asked: "The owner! Is there one for each person?!"

Lin Yuan said angrily: "You thought you were buying things, but you still have one person? Save them. They are the people in Zhuangzi. You are in Zhuangzi every day. Haven't you been confident that you can capture the hearts of beautiful women?"

He didn't want his small team to be like those bandits.

Women are willing to marry and live with these big soldiers, he agrees.

If they don't want to marry, he agrees. After all, women are also laborers and can also grow land and make clothes. The more the better.

There was a green light in the soldiers' eyes.

There are too few women in Zhuangzi now, and they still work separately, but since they started training, women often come to visit them.

There will also be discussions about who looks more mighty and who is more upright and powerful.

The most powerful and best performer of them is now in Zhuangzi.

The people around are jealous.

In short, under various temptations, these recruits became excited.

It seems that a good life is right in front of them. If they take this stockade, they will be able to reach the pinnacle of people.

People who descend the mountain usually come back the next morning.

One night, when Lin Yuan saw the people in the stockade going back to sleep one after another, he and Zhu Yuanzhang divided into two groups and marched towards the stockade.

After training for so long, these recruits, apart from anything else, are still very compliant.

But fighting skills can never be taught by teaching. In the era of cold weapons, it is experience to fight against people.

They are marching in the dark, but so many people will certainly not be ignored by the people watching the wind on the lookout.

The man hurriedly shouted: "There is an enemy attack! There is an enemy attack! Get up!"

Lin Yuan had already rushed to the gate of the village with someone at this time. The gate of this village was very simple. After all, the bandits didn’t have much resources for construction, nor were they talented in this area. They could make the houses in the village. A lot of effort has been spent.

Before breaking in, Lin Yuan still yelled as usual: "Disarm without killing!"

The people inside also shouted: "Give your grandma a leg!"

Since the opponent is unwilling to surrender, he can only rush. Lin Yuan is holding a long knife in his hand and his hands are shaking, but he forces himself to calm down. One day he will be on the battlefield. He can't always To hide, he must have the ability to protect himself.

"Rush in!" Lin Yuan pointed to the Zhaimen.

The obedience trained before showed its courage for the first time.

Just as Lin Yuan stretched out his finger, these people rushed in with a roar, without hesitation for a second.

I can't see that this is the first time they have experienced such a thing.

Among these people, there are people who have gone to attack the coal yard with Zhu Yuanzhang and Brother Dao. These people are the most brave. They have seen blood and are not afraid of blood. As long as they think of the good things they can get after winning, they are all excited. .

Because of them, all the other people who didn't go last time were also inspired.

Lin Yuan rushed in with him.

Lin Yuan was also wearing vine armor. He couldn't see what the opposite person looked like, only the approximate size. Holding a long knife in his hand, he hacked it down hard, slashing away.

The other party has already bullied himself up, hacking up.

Lin Yuan was hit by a knife, but fortunately, it was protected by the vine armor. Apart from dull pain, his skin was not cut.

At the moment when the opponent was surprised, Lin Yuan gritted his teeth and raised the knife. His current strength couldn't compete with others. He could only take advantage of it. He slowly squatted down and charged up when the opponent rushed over again.

When Lin Yuan recovered, the opponent's neck had already been cut by him.

Lin Yuan didn't look at it anymore, holding the knife in his hand, he shouted at the other party again: "Disarm without killing!"

No one answered him this time.

He could only hear the sound of metal collision, and the faint sound of weapons piercing the flesh, Lin Yuan took a deep breath.

At this moment, a human voice came from behind the cottage. It was Zhu Yuanzhang's voice.

"kill!"

Countless killing characters yelled from their mouths, and the people on Lin Yuan's side were also infected, and they raised their swords and shouted.

The momentum is amazing, there are clearly only a hundred people, but he just shouted out a thousand people.

Sometimes, what you fight is momentum.

Lin Yuan obviously felt that the person opposite was hesitating.

Once the human heart is afraid, once they feel that they may die, their movements will become slow, and they will have more mixed thoughts in their minds.

On the battlefield, slow movements can lead to death.

Lin Yuan shouted: "Come over!"

As expected, the people on his side rushed straight to the past, like a savage bull, brave and savage, like they had trained for countless times.

Although protected by the vine armor, Lin Yuan was still injured. He felt a hot pain on his back, but he did not touch it with a backhand. If he found that there was blood behind him, maybe he would fall down before the enemy did it. Up.

It's okay, Lin Yuan said to himself that there is a vine armor, even if it is injured, it must not be serious.

When the last person of the opponent fell, Lin Yuan sat down on the ground. Because of the protection of the cane armor, they won a big victory here. In addition to a few serious injuries and more than 40 minor injuries, there were nearly 50 people. It was intact, not even hurt at all.

Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to be more energetic than Lin Yuan. There were no scars on his body. There were knife marks on the vine armor, but it was not heavy. Obviously he didn't let the other party cut it.

"My boss, your back..." Zhu Yuanzhang pointed at Lin Yuan's back.

Lin Yuan turned around and asked Zhu Yuanzhang to help him see: "Is the wound deep?"

Zhu Yuanzhang opened the cotton-padded jacket with a knife, and said with a smile: "It's not deep, it's shallow, it's scratched a little, you wait for me to find some herbs for you to apply."

Lin Yuan: "What herbs are there in winter?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned.

Lin Yuan sighed.

I can only wait like this. Good luck will naturally be good, and bad luck will die of tetanus.

Fifty-five open.

They must clean up the battlefield at night, and the bandits who descended from the mountain will return tomorrow morning.

All the soldiers lined up in the open space, and Lin Yuan made them not to be rude to the women and children detained by the bandits, just focus on supplies.

In fact, such bandits are still very rich. There are a lot of tattered gold and silverware, as well as a few paintings, but the paintings are worthless at this time. The women are locked in a small room with more than 30 people. Many people are pregnant, unclothed, and the house is full of bad smells. When the door is opened, their expressions are still very trance.

Even the soldiers told them to come out, they were numb, and they walked out one by one in command.

Just after the fire, Lin Yuan saw these women clearly.

They are unkempt and have scars on almost every body, some on their faces.

Nearly 20 of them are pregnant, holding their stomachs and looking at Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan could see the confusion on their faces.

In ancient times, innocence was emphasized. They were all born of ordinary people, and they received an education for self-cleaning and self-cleaning.

In many ancient biographies, most of the woman's defilement hangs.

But this is their own choice, or the family's choice, it is unknown.

"Find some clean supplies and bring them in first." Lin Yuan told Li Da next to him.

Li Da said "Hey" and took the women to another room.

Now Lin Yuan finally began to look at the bandits who were tied up. These people were already afraid. They were the only ones who killed people, but now they have become the flesh on the cutting board of others.

Someone begged for mercy: "A hero, a hero, forgive me, I was forced by them, and I don't want to be a mountain bandit, a hero! I have the old, the younger, the hero!"

Lin Yuan picked up a knife and put it on the neck of the person begging for mercy. The opponent shivered, and his hip was cold. Lin Yuan smelled a smell of urine, and this person was already scared to pee.

Then he put away the knife: "I ask you, how many people are down the mountain?"

The person answered quickly: "A hundred people."

"What are you going to do down the mountain?" Lin Yuan asked again.

The man swallowed: "Go get food..."

Lin Yuan's knife cut a bit of skin on this man's neck.

So the man shouted again: "A good guy! It's a snatch! They went down to snatch food!"

Lin Yuan: "When do you usually come back?"

"Sishi!"

It was between nine and eleven in the morning, and Lin Yuan nodded.

Lin Yuan asked again: "Look around you, who kills the most? I will forgive you if you point it out."

The tied up yelled quickly:

"Sanzi, you can't mean anything!"

"Sanzi, I gave you a piece of meat last year!"

"Three sons!"

The man named Sanzi was dressed in a simple dress, and he knew at a glance that he was not an important person, but because of this, he hated the domineering person even more.

As soon as the third son closed his eyes, Lin Yuan used a knife to cut the rope that bound him and told him to recognize someone.

The third son looked around. These people were like him, with human lives in his hands. He walked towards the person farthest away from him. This person was wearing a cotton-padded coat and looked like a gangster. He said to Lin Yuan: It is our fourth boss, he kills the most!"

"Does anyone object?" Lin Yuan asked the bandits.

No one speaks.

Lin Yuan said, "That's good."

As soon as these two words fell, Lin Yuan had already taken the knife and dropped it, killing this person.

He didn't have enough strength, and he cut off the head after making up two knives.

"vomit--"

Several soldiers who watched this scene spat out.

Lin Yuan closed his eyes when he started, and when he opened his eyes, he almost vomited. He took a deep breath, and the tip of his nose was full of blood and urine, and some of them were scared to urinate.

Although this group of people killed people, they did not behead their heads.

Especially watching the heads of people who used to dominate their heads be cut off.

"I didn't beg for mercy." Lin Yuan sighed, "It's still a man, but unfortunately he took a detour."

The third son was already on his knees.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the head indifferently, and said to Lin Yuan: "My boss, we should make arrangements."

Lin Yuan nodded, and he looked at the man named Sanzi again.

"Sanzi, stand up," he ordered.

The third son supported the ground with both hands and got up from the ground.

Lin Yuan asked him: "Do you want to live?"

The third son nodded vigorously: "Yes!"

He was already in tears now.

Pointing a knife at someone, and being held a knife by someone are two completely different feelings.

Lin Yuan smiled at the third son. In the eyes of the third son, this man was like a Raksha who came out of the night.

Sanzi's courage has been shocked.

This evening, they were all sorting out the things before the stockade and the food they hadn't finished eating.

I have to say that this stockade still has some grains, not only coarse grains, but also a lot of fine grains, and there are also a lot of bacon.

There is even rice wine.

Lin Yuan asked people to tie all of these to the pallet, and six pallets were trapped—of course they belonged to the stockade. They packed lightly on their own, not to mention the pallet, they didn’t even bring their luggage.

"When the day breaks, we will wipe out the rest of them, and you can open your belly to eat." Lin Yuan shouted loudly.

Everyone yelled like crazy.

"They must win their first level!"

"Kill them!"

"Feast!"

The seriously injured were placed in the room. Lin Yuan asked someone to wash their wounds and then wrapped them with a clean cloth. As for himself-the wound was too shallow and he didn't bleed much. Now he doesn't feel anymore. Wash with water. After washing, the cloth strips are not tangled.

Those who came back from the mountain at this time must be on the road overnight, eager to go back to the stockade to have a good meal and drink, and then go to sleep. The energy is most relaxed.

Lin Yuan and Zhu Yuanzhang left ten people here, asking them to look after the one who was tied up, and take the remaining people to ambush and kill him by surprise.

The third son was also taken, after all, he knew better where the people in the stockade would go up the mountain.

"If they don't come, I will kill you." Lin Yuan lowered his voice, and said to the third son on the side, "If you expose us, I can kill you too."

The three sons tremble, if the leaves are crumbling on the treetops in autumn.

There was finally a movement in his ears, Lin Yuan looked at Zhu Yuanzhang in surprise, and Zhu Yuanzhang's expression was exactly the same as Lin Yuan.

These mountain bandits have horses!

The third son whispered: "Yes, there are five horses..."

Now there is no time to ask where these horses come from, they are horses!

Lin Yuan made a gesture, then waved it down fiercely.

His soldiers threw out like a hungry tiger.

Lin Yuan also rushed out.

He is a man after all, and he eats well and drinks well, he is not hungry, he can keep up with his physical strength, and he won't hold back.

It is not people that carry food on horseback!

This is simply great news.

After being surprised, these horses began to scream in a panic, while the bandits behind the horses were caught off guard, but they quickly reacted and took up their weapons.

It's just that at this time, I have been overworked and slack off the mountain bandits. How could it be possible to fight Lin Jiabing who only wanted to eat after waiting all night?

"Who came?!" Someone from the bandit group roared.

Lin Yuan also shouted: "The one who took your life!"
