Nie Haiwu led more than 400 men down the mountain to fetch sheep. He saw dozens of carts and goods from the other side's caravan, tightly covered with canvas. The wheel marks are very deep, and they must contain gold and silver treasures. There are more than two hundred people in the caravan, but only one third are armed escorts. Nie Haiwu was immediately overjoyed and hurriedly ordered his minions to prepare for action. When the opponent entered their encirclement, they could not wait to kill him. There was chaos in the caravan for a while, but order was quickly restored. I saw them tearing off the coverings on the car one after another and opening the big boxes one after another. Inside were not gold and silver treasures, but weapons such as swords, shields, bows and guns. "Array up!" One of them shouted, and more than two hundred people were holding various weapons. A caravan quickly built a defensive formation like a well-trained army. The archers are in the front, the sword and shield soldiers are second, and the spear soldiers are in the back, just like a copper wall and an iron wall. Yes, they are Xiao Yi's men, who disguised themselves as a caravan and deliberately lured the bandits from Heifeng Village down. It¡¯s just that Xiao Yi is not in the formation, but leads the cavalry to ambush in the darkness nearby. When Nie Haiwu led his men to rush forward, he discovered that the opponent had formed a tight formation, but his reaction was relatively slow and he had not yet guessed the opponent's true identity. I have seen caravans armed with private soldiers before. Their formation was just to scare people. They only needed to attack the opponent a few times before they could no longer hold on. "Fire arrows!" The archers fired three rounds of volleys first. The first two rounds were mainly for suppression. The arrows were shot at the middle and rear positions of the bandits, splitting the bandit team into two. In the third round, the bandits had already rushed forward. The archers fired arrows at close range and killed more than a dozen people before retreating immediately. The formation suddenly changed, with the spearmen in front, the sword and shield soldiers in the middle, and the archers at the back choosing the right moment to release arrows. The leading bandit rushed over, and the pikemen immediately stabbed, taking advantage of their weapon length to kill the bandit. Among the bandits, there were also many who used long weapons. They quickly stepped forward to support and threw flying spears at the officers and soldiers. At this time, the formation of the officers and soldiers changed again, and the sword and shield soldiers and spear soldiers exchanged positions. when! Dang Dang! The flying spears thrown by the bandits were blocked by the shields of the sword and shield soldiers. At this time, the bandits had rushed forward, and the spear soldiers thrust out from the gaps between the sword and shield soldiers, catching the bandits off guard and causing them to be killed or injured. Seeing that his side suffered heavy casualties, Nie Haiwu still did not give up. "Come on, young men. Those who break the formation will be heavily rewarded!" Under the heavy reward, there must be a brave man. A group of minions immediately swarmed up and attacked regardless of the cost. Xiao Yi in the dark couldn't help but let out a sigh, this bandit was much stronger than expected. Pang Zhen beside him whispered: "Nie Haiwu used to be a captain in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. He should know a little bit about military affairs, but he has been a bandit for a long time, and all his instincts are rusty." Xiao Yi nodded and followed. It's the same as chess. The weaker your opponent is, the worse your chess skills will be. Seeing that Nie Haiwu's attention was focused on the caravan, Xiao Yi knew that the opportunity had come, and immediately led his cavalry to charge towards the side and rear of the bandits. The cavalry at this time were all heavy cavalry. Since it was a short-distance charge, Xiao Yi did not ask them to remove the armor of their horses. It wasn¡¯t until he saw the heavy cavalry appearing that Nie Haiwu woke up, shouted that something was wrong, and immediately ordered a retreat. When the bandits saw that they were officers and soldiers, they immediately ran away like a mouse seeing a cat. The officers and soldiers who were originally in a defensive posture immediately followed Xiao Yi's instructions and killed them. Never leave your back to the enemy. The experience of this blood is naturally not what the bandits can think of. They only focused on escaping, but they didn't know that the officers and soldiers behind them were charging faster in a short distance. They caught up with them in a blink of an eye. With a wave of their swords and spears thrust out, most of the bandits were killed and wounded immediately. Xiao Yi took the lead and led a dozen riders to block the bandits' retreat to Heifeng Village. Nie Haiwu saw a young man in white robe blocking his way, and secretly complained that he was young and thought it would be easy to deal with him, so he shouted loudly, urged his horse to raise his gun, and rushed over with a loud yell. Xiao Yi snorted coldly, showing no fear. He suddenly pinched the horse's belly and rushed forward. The moment the two horses pedaled wrongly, Nie Haiwu swung his spear and stabbed Xiao Yi in the throat. Xiao Yi dodged sideways, and at the same time, he grabbed the opponent's gun barrel with his right hand, used his strength to pull it, and at the same time stabbed Nie Haiwu's left waist with the spear in his left hand. Nie Haiwu thought that Kong Wu was powerful and didn't take Xiao Yi seriously at all, so he thrust out the first shot with all his strength. Unexpectedly, Xiao Yi easily dodged it. Nie Haiwu's moves were old, and Xiao Yi used his strength to grab the barrel of the gun. He instinctively pulled it back, but he never thought that the opponent's strength was so great that he couldn't pull the gun back with both hands. Seeing the opponent's spear thrustWhen he came over, Nie Haiwu was shocked and was forced to give up the gun in his hand and rolled over in a panic. Knowing that the opponent was powerful, Nie Haiwu got up and ran away in embarrassment. Xiao Yi reined in Zhui Feng, turned his horse back to give chase, and at the same time violently threw Nie Haiwu's spear with his wave of his hand. Nie Haiwu had not run a few steps when he heard the wind and turned around in shock. However, he had no time to dodge, and the spear passed through his chest. He looked at his spear on his chest and looked at Xiao Yi in disbelief. Naturally, he was extremely unwilling to do so. I wanted to ask the other person's name so that I could die in peace, but blood surged from my mouth and I couldn't say a word. Xiao Yi didn't give him time. He pulled out his sword and chopped off his head. He raised his head with a spear and shook it while shouting: "The leader of the thief is dead. If you don't surrender quickly, you will be killed." "The dog will not stay." Xiao Yi's subordinates suddenly shouted in unison. Seeing that the leader was dead, with interceptors in front and pursuers behind them, they could not escape, so they threw away their weapons and knelt down to surrender. Xiao Yi ordered people to count the number of people, and called several minions to interrogate them separately. The numbers were correct, and they were all here. Xiao Yi immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't want anyone to escape back and report the news, because Xiao Yi planned to follow the clues and take over Heifeng Village in one fell swoop. "Major General, how to deal with these bandits?" "Find a place to lock them up first, pluck off their skins and let the soldiers replace them, then find a few obedient bandits, and let's go directly to open the gate of Heifeng Village. " Soldiers are valuable and fast. Xiao Yi didn't want to have long nights and dreams, so he immediately took people up the mountain. Along the way, Xiao Yi saw the dangerous terrain around him. If the bandits were not naturally afraid of officers and soldiers, were timid before fighting, and planned to leave to avoid the limelight, even if a large army came to conquer, they would have to pay a heavy price. Several surrendered bandits led the way. Xiao Yi led more than a hundred elites disguised as bandits to mix among them, and escorted more than two hundred officers and soldiers dressed as businessmen to drive the carriage all the way to Heifeng Village. Xiao Yi deliberately delayed some time. It was already evening when he arrived at Heifeng Village, which was convenient for cover. The bandit guarding the gate saw the team from afar and thought it was the second leader returning in triumph. Seeing that the people who came to report were two acquaintances, he had no doubts and immediately ordered someone to open the gate of the village. When the village gate opened and several bandits approached, Xiao Yi immediately took action. After three years of hard training, coupled with the guidance of general Nangong Ao, a master of swordsmanship, Xiao Yi's swordsmanship has greatly improved, and his swordsmanship is faster and more ruthless. With a flash of the sword, several bandits lost their lives before they could react. "Do it!" With the order, the officers and soldiers behind him immediately sent out their weapons and rushed into the stronghold. The bandits above the village gate saw something was wrong, and when they were about to shout, they were shot down by archers. At this time, there are still about a hundred people left in Heifeng Village, and most of them are preparing to pack up and evacuate, without any preparation at all. When the officers and soldiers rushed in, they quickly gave up resistance. Under the guidance of the bandits who had surrendered, Xiao Yi quickly went to the residence of the head of the family, Nie Haiwen. Nie Haiwen was very clever and jumped down the tunnel to escape, but was shot to death by Xiao Yi with a shake of his hand and an arrow. The officers and soldiers around him couldn't help but admire the major general's superb archery skills. Not a single bandit in the entire Heifeng Village escaped, and they were all captured. Pang Zhen quickly counted the assets of Heifeng Village. When he reported to Xiao Yi, Xiao Yi first asked him how his own casualties were. Pang Zhen and some of the officers and soldiers next to him were immediately moved. In this era, the life of a soldier was not much better than that of an untouchable. Most of the generals cared about the results of the battle and rarely cared about their lives and deaths. "Only seven people were slightly injured!" "As expected, they are all elite soldiers and generals!" Xiao Yi knew that the three hundred officers and soldiers following him were elite soldiers carefully selected by his father. If the Xiaoqi Battalion is Nanchen's elite unit, then these three in front of him Hundreds of officers and soldiers are the best among the best. Xiao Yi knew that most of the 100,000 generals who were captured with his father had fled halfway because they missed their homeland. His father did not stop them and even gave them money to get home. Xiao Yi knew that they also longed to return to their homeland, but they were embarrassed to leave temporarily due to their father's favor. Now there are only 30,000 soldiers of the Knight Cavalry left by my father's side. They are the guarantee for my father's survival. Xiao Yi already had some calculations in his mind, and he had to win them over well. Even if they don't think about their father, the chaos in the world soon will still depend on them. In troubled times, having someone with a gun is the only way to survive. Looking at the gold, silver, antiques and artifacts that had been packaged, Xiao Yi immediately joked: "These bandits know that we are coming, so they are all respectful."??Okay. " Pang Zhen and others laughed when they saw the Major General's easy-going attitude. "The cash will be divided into one portion for each person according to the number of heads this time, and the injured will receive an additional half portion as compensation. My share will be given to Chief Pang. The rest that could be taken away were taken away, and the rest that could not be taken away were burned. Ok, deal. " All the sergeants were overjoyed when they heard this. They have never encountered such a good thing. Xiao Yi's generosity and heroism undoubtedly left a very deep impression on them. Everyone couldn't help but shouted in unison from the bottom of their hearts: "Thank you, Young General! " Only Pang Zhen asked with some confusion: "Major General, what are you doing? There¡¯s something wrong with giving them all to us! "Rewards and punishments are clear. What do you think, Chief Pang?" Looking at Xiao Yi's harmless expression, Pang Zhen had been following Xiao Mohe for a long time. How could he not understand anything? He immediately smiled and said thanks again. That night, Xiao Yi ordered people to kill chickens and sheep, prepare wine and food, and celebrate with the soldiers in the Heifengzhai compound. The gun cheered everyone up, and the feelings among everyone suddenly became much closer. In the early morning of the next day, Xiao Yi discussed with Pang Zhen how to deal with the captured bandits. Xiao Yi thought that since they were captured by the Xiaoqi camp, they should make a big splash to let the people in Bingzhou know that they did it, so as to silence Han Wang Yang Liang. So, more than 300 bandits from Heifeng Village were imprisoned together. When they went to Caishikou in Shanyang County to collectively ask for execution, the local people rushed to tell each other, praising Mayi garrison Xiao Maha for doing a good thing for the people. Of course, as the hero who defeated Heifeng Village, Xiao Yi's name was spread for the first time. After executing the bandits, Xiao Yi was planning to kill the two remaining bandits in Mayi before the news spread. The remaining two bandits were not big, only one or two hundred people. , easy to deal with. However, before Xiao Yi left Shanyang County, he met the guards who hurriedly came to find Xiao Yi¡¯s father. ¡°Major General, my lord ordered you to go back quickly! " Xiao Yi couldn't help but frown and asked: "Do you know what it is? "The guard said: "I don't know exactly what happened! It seems that someone in the south is rebelling again! It seems to be in the name of the lord. Emperor Long Yan was furious and had already sent people to merge the state. " Xiao Yi was shocked when he heard this. He immediately gave up on suppressing the bandits and hurriedly led his people back to Mayi.
