Chapter Forty-Eighth Clearing Up the Bandits

Five hundred bandits were like Qingfeng Village, and what they saw in front of them was a row of crossbow arrows.

Wei Ze's scalp went numb in an instant, and he hurriedly fell down and rolled back. The other bandits did not react as quickly as Wei Ze.

A row of crossbow arrows shot out, immediately knocking the bandits off their feet.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the bandits behind them turned around and ran away, but suddenly a group of bandits appeared on both sides and surrounded the five hundred people.

Wei Ze regretted that he should have listened to the prince.

"The rear team becomes the front team and fight out with me."

Wei Ze was a veteran after all. Although he was panicked, he quickly adjusted his mentality and made arrangements immediately.

If these people were soldiers he trained, they would definitely obey his orders, but these people were bandits without any rules. Who would listen to his orders in the chaos of war? They all found their own way to escape.

Taoist Qingfeng, who was in command, looked at the officers and soldiers who were surrounded and suppressed, and became more and more confused. The number of people was wrong, the clothes were wrong, and the people who came did not seem to be officers and soldiers.

"Taoist Priest, they seem to be bandits from Peach Blossom Mountain. I recognized one of them."

Taoist Master Qingfeng suddenly realized: "What a cruel and ruthless King You. He collected the bandits from Taohua Mountain and sent them to fight in the front line."

"Taoist Priest, what should we do now?"

As soon as the bandits from Qingfeng Mountain finished asking, the cry of killing came from the bottom of the mountain again. This time, both the sound and the momentum far exceeded that of the 500 bandits led by Wei Ze.

Wei Ze was overjoyed when he heard the shouts of death from the bottom of the mountain. He raised his arms and shouted: "Reinforcements are coming, come and kill with me. Killing one person will be tax-free for life."

The bandits who were in chaos just now gradually gained a backbone, gathered around Wei Ze, and began to fight back.

Taoist Qingfeng sighed: "The situation is over, retreat quickly!"

At the foot of the mountain, Li Feng asked Chen Da and Du Biao to lead the bandits to charge forward. He divided the cavalry into two parts, and one part rushed to rescue Wei Ze and capture the stronghold.

The other part went around to the back, where Qingfeng Shan might have escaped, and robbed and killed Taoist Qingfeng.

After everything was arranged, Li Feng followed the team slowly with a knife in hand, feeling constantly in his heart that this was a war in the cold weapon era, and it really had no technical content.

The military quality of the soldiers is poor. The opponents have certain tactics, but they are not high. Maybe the bandits are like this, and the regular army will be better.

But thinking that Wei Ze was deceived by the bandits' tactics, Li Feng felt that the regular army's tactics were not very good either.

Under attack from both inside and outside, Qingfeng Mountain was quickly killed without leaving a single piece of armor. Taoist Qingfeng fled, leaving Qingfeng Village in a mess.

When Li Feng arrived on the mountain, the big battle had ended, and the officers and soldiers were doing sporadic aftermath.

In this battle, it was not the soldiers of the military town who achieved the highest achievement, but the bandits of Taohuashan. They were not merciless at all when they chopped down their own colleagues, which made the officers and soldiers feel numb.

Chen Da walked up to Li Feng excitedly and knelt down on one knee: "Your Majesty, Qingfeng Village has been captured. Taoist Qingfeng escaped. Most of the remaining gangsters were killed and a small number were captured. Please tell me."

Chen Da was very excited and found a trace of the feeling he had when he was an officer and soldier.

Li Feng nodded, and suddenly saw the weapons piled in the corner. He picked them up and looked at them, and was shocked: "Liannu? Who made this?"

No one answered, so Chen Dal pulled a prisoner forward and kicked him: "The prince asked you, who made it?"

The little bandit was so frightened that he shook his head repeatedly, his crotch turned black, and he actually peed in fear.

"You have so much courage to become a bandit?"

Chen Da threw him aside in disgust, and then a bandit squatting in the corner stood up: "It's me."

Li Feng looked at the people who were fighting. They looked polite and polite, and they didn't look like bandits even if they were among the bandits.

"Did you invent this repeating crossbow?"

"They are grassroots people."

Li Feng was overjoyed: "Okay, take him back alone, I can be useful."

After dealing with the bandits, Wei Ze limped over. When he was rolling on the ground to avoid the crossbow arrows, his legs were stepped on several times by the bandits behind him. Fortunately, the bones were not seriously damaged, but it was impossible to walk in a short time.

"The last general is greedy for merit and has come to plead guilty."

"General Wei is willing to sacrifice his life to be a bait. It's too late for me to reward you. How can I blame you? Get up."

Since then, except for Dong Chao from Erlong Mountain and Qingfeng Taoist from Qingfeng Mountain, the three major bandits entrenched in Youzhou have all been wiped out, leaving the situation where bandits were raging in the past.

Li Feng took the money and grain from Sanshan and also resolved the food shortage crisis in Youzhou.

On the way back, Chen Da suddenly said to Li Feng: "Your Majesty, in addition to the three mountains in Youzhou, there are also many powerful little bandits. If Your Majesty can trust me, I am willing to go and recruit them."

Wei Ze looked at Li Feng with an expression of rejection. At this time, Chen Da proposed to go to Zhao'an and other bandits must have wanted to escape.

Li Feng smiled slightly: "Okay, you go, Du Biao, you go too."

Du Biao was surprised: "Shall I go too? Your Majesty?"

Li Feng smiled and said: "I'm not afraid of you running away. In fact, if you run away, I will be happier. Go ahead."

Chen Da and Du Biao took a deep look at Li Feng, turned their horses and left.

Wei Ze saw them leaving and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, bandits have always been treacherous and cannot be trusted."

"I know, but even if they escape, so what? If they gather the remaining bandits, it will save me the trouble of killing them one by one. It would be better if they recruit all the bandits."

Wei Ze was convinced and finally couldn't help but ask: "My lord, outsiders say you are fatuous and cruel, but when I see you, you are wise and wise. Why is there such a big contrast?"

"That's because you haven't seen my fatuous and violent side yet."

Li Feng didn't want to explain, so he sped up. Wei Ze didn't get the answer, so he had to give up, but he had a vague guess in his heart that Li Feng was actually framed, and he should be the prince.

As soon as this idea came up, Wei Ze was startled and he was questioning His Majesty's decision.

At noon the next day, everyone saw Youzhou City.

Because there were many bandits in the team, Li Feng was worried about letting them enter the city, so he first arranged for them to be stationed outside the city. He took Wei Ze and others into the city.

The city gate opened wide, and Liu Ji, Zhang Shoulin and others stood on both sides of the city gate to greet him.

"See you, Your Majesty."

"Okay, don't do those false gifts. The money and food will be counted and put into the warehouse. This person will be locked up first. Eat and drink well. Don't neglect..."

After Li Feng finished giving instructions, he asked, "Has anything happened in the past few days?"

Liu Ji couldn't bear it, and Zhang Shoulin looked angry.

"What happened?"

Zhang Shoulin fell to his knees on the ground and cried bitterly: "Your Majesty, please avenge Fang Cheng."

Li Feng was shocked: "Fang Cheng is dead?"

Zhang Shoulin cried so hard that he couldn't help himself. Liu Ji said: "A heroine arrived in Youzhou yesterday and brought Fang Cheng's head. But she put the head down and disappeared, leaving nothing behind."

Li Feng looked gloomy: "Where is Fang Cheng?"

"Your Majesty, please come with me."

In the place where the guards rested, Li Feng saw the box placed on the table in the center. He went over to open it, and Fang Cheng appeared in front of Li Feng with an angry expression.

Li Feng took a deep breath and slowly closed the box.
