"Haha, it seems that those who escorted the grain and fodder are not ordinary people." Fengyun Shang was condescending and could see clearly, and he had a good evaluation of the general.

Dongyu Village did not have enough manpower, so Feng Yun Shang had no choice but to adopt the route of elite soldiers. Every bandit in the village practiced carefully selected methods, and Feng Yun Shang spent a large amount of pills regardless of the cost.

(The realm of monks depends entirely on elixirs. Even monks who have just made a breakthrough can continue to break through as long as the elixirs are in place. This is a bug in the practice system and a test point.)

The strength is not comparable to that of ordinary bandits. This is why several leaders of Chuqi Village are wary of Dongyu Village. With these small but extraordinary bandits, Fengyun Shang can expand rapidly.

"If that's the case, then I'll add fuel to the fire." Feng Yun Shang sneered and sent fifty more people in.

The officers and soldiers of Liyang, who had already had a slight advantage, were at a disadvantage again. Seeing cart after cart of grain and grass being burned, the deputy general had no choice but to ask people to ask for help from the general. The general could only deduct some people from his hand and send them over.

When it comes to the manpower problem, the general wants to scold his mother. There is naturally a lot of food and grass to supply an army of 20,000, but he only has less than 500 people on hand, so he cannot take everything into account.

That's it for other places. The general divided the 500 people into small groups and managed to cope with it.

However, due to the terrain, the team transporting grain in this valley was stretched into a long one. A mere five hundred people looked at their heads but couldn't think about their heads.

The general murmured: "It's a pity that General Li urged us so urgently, otherwise we could have taken a detour and spent an extra day going around this valley."

Although he realized that something was wrong in his heart, the general had no choice but to hit the valley floor with his head firmly on despite the heavy military orders.

Fengyun Shang, who was standing above the valley and taking charge of the overall situation, suddenly moved his ears, pretending to be careless, and sent out all the troops at hand, leaving only a few personal guards around him.

He made another excuse, got rid of a few guards and crawled in along a crack.

"Dongfang Jilai." After entering the rift and taking a few steps forward, a man suddenly appeared and said to Feng Yun Shang, with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.

Fengyun Shang stopped and said: "The strong wind is rising again."

While speaking, he quietly adjusted his position so that the man was facing the light coming from outside the crack.

After Fengyun Shang received the signal, the murderous look in the man's eyes dissipated, he took a step forward, knelt down on one knee, and said, "By order of General Li Zilai, I give this to you."

Fengyun Shang took the sphere from the man's hand through the air, threw a token over, and said, "Thank you very much."

Then he slowly walked backwards out of the gap, making a big circle and returned to the guards.

What Li Zilai had people send was a magic storage weapon. Although the magic weapon was rare, what was precious to Fengyun Shang was the items inside the magic weapon: enough standard magic weapons to arm a hundred people, enough magic weapons for nearly four people in Dongyu Village.

One hundred people can eat the spirit grain for five days (400 people include the bandit's family members, and the combat strength is about 320 people.), the spirit animal meat, and some seeds of the spirit grain.

The stored magic weapon needs to be returned for next time use.

After all, the storage magic weapon is not an ordinary magic weapon. Although it is called a magic weapon, it is the same as an immortal treasure. Only immortals can refine it. Moreover, the refining materials are quite bloody, and the golden elixir of a golden elixir monk must be used as the material.

, supplemented by various treasures to be refined.

The official government of Liyang Prefecture had a magical storage artifact given by an immortal. Li Zilai himself had two magical artifacts for storage. The total number of magical artifacts in Liyang Prefecture was only three.

A personal guard was sent to quietly return the storage magic weapon to Dongyu Village. After Cheng Feng hid the contents in a secret room, he asked his personal guard to return the storage magic weapon to Fengyun Shang.

After getting the storage magic weapon, Fengyun Shang no longer wanted to stay here, and together with several guards, he threw the stones prepared in advance down the steep slope of the valley.

The sudden rocks rushed toward the grain transport team, carrying the sound of thunder, and everyone was shocked.

The guards around the general quickly passed over the panicked men and horses, summoning their spiritual energy to resist the falling rocks.

With a muffled sound, he threw the rocks aside and prepared to face the next round of boulders.

"My dear, it seems that the person transporting food this time is not a simple person, he can have such a guard." Fengyun Shang, who stuck his head out to check, muttered, waved his hand and said: "Withdraw." At the same time, he asked someone to pass the order to Huo Shiyi.

"Well, have you retreated?" the general guessed after seeing that no stones rolled down for a long time.

He got off his mount, walked to the cliff, stepped on the raised stones, and jumped up. The guards below were shocked. If stones rolled down from the cliff at this time, the general would have nowhere to go.

If you hide, you will definitely get hurt.

Fortunately, what the guards were worried about did not happen. The general climbed up the cliff smoothly and looked around.

No one was seen, confirming his guess. He jumped down from the cliff, and when he landed, he bent down and rolled to absorb the impact.

"Tell Lieutenant General Cheng to quickly clean up the battlefield and move on." He stood up, patted the stone chips on his armor, and ordered.

But I heard the ordering soldier say: "General, those bandits haven't retreated yet."

The general raised his eyebrows and said: "Then let Vice-General Cheng work harder, kill the bandits quickly, and then continue to advance. Let all the remaining reserves join the battle."

After the messenger left, the general said to one of his guards: "Sheng Fei, tell me why I put all my troops into battle?"

The guard he called Sheng Fei looked thoughtfully at the stones intercepted by the guards and said: "It should be because of these stones. Although these stones are fierce, they are just lifted from the cliff.

It's just the force of rushing down. Moreover, there is not only one wave of falling stones, but also a small number. The number of bandits on the cliff is not large, and the adults have personally inspected it, so the bandits on the cliff can't do anything to us.

threaten."

The general laughed a few times, praised Sheng Fei a few times, and said: "Sheng Fei, if we are lucky enough to survive this time, you can already command an army, and my cultivation of you will not be in vain." Sheng Fei

My brother’s spirit in heaven will also feel gratified.”

Sheng Fei was the posthumous son of a good friend of the general and was raised by him. Although they were not biological father and son, they were not much different from each other.

Sheng Fei said: "Thank you, General, for the compliment."

The general was strict in running the army. Sheng Fei could call him uncle in private, but he did not dare to call him anything other than "general" in front of everyone.

Sheng Fei was also quite confused in his heart. Although the bandits in front of him had not retreated yet, they should not let the general say that he was lucky to survive.

Fengyun Shang, who had retreated from the valley, sent a personal guard because Huo Shiyi did not retreat according to his orders.

"Go and ask Huo Shiyi if you want me to invite him back in person." The bodyguard who was sent to deliver the order trembled, not daring to see that Fengyun Shang had already put on a frosty face and followed the order.

The four personal guards who were still following Fengyun Shang were as silent as a cicada. They stood upright quietly and obediently, looking in all directions except for Fengyun Shang.

The four guards kept complaining in their hearts, praying in their hearts that Huo Shiyi would return soon.

It's a pity that although they waited until Huo Shiyi retreated and caught up with them, they were even more frightened: dozens of people who were led by Huo Shiyi for the sneak attack were killed in the battle, which was a serious injury to Dongyu Village, which already had insufficient manpower.

It's broken.

"Shang Huo, I need an explanation." Feng Yun Shang sat on a stone and said coldly, his hand holding the sword at his waist at some point.

Huo Shiyi's armor was still dripping with blood, and he said nonchalantly: "People will always die in battle, so why should the master be concerned?"

"Did you hear my ringing voice? Did you hear the order I sent to give? Do you know it's a crime if you don't respect the order?" Fengyun Shang shouted loudly. The bandits in Dongyu Village looked at each other, and the guards quietly surrounded them.

Huo Shiyi.

"Come here, push Huo Shiyi down and take off his armor, and punish him with a staff of sixty." Fengyun Shang gave the order, and some guards came up and pushed Huo Shiyi to the ground.

Huo Shiyi struggled a few times, seemingly dissatisfied, but in the end he was pulled down obediently and took off his armor.

They did not bring an execution stick with them for this operation, but it was not difficult to make one on the spot.

Hearing the sound of wooden sticks hitting Huo Shiyi's body, the bandits who had originally ignored the military order changed their minds.

After being beaten sixty times, Huo Shiyi was dragged up again. His eyes were still staring at Feng Yun Shang. Feng Yun Shang said: "If you don't obey orders next time, don't blame me for taking your sacrifice flag."

The news of Huo Shiyi being punished with a stick was reported to the head of Chu Qi by the spies installed in Dongyu Village of Chu Qi. After receiving the news, the head of Chu Qi made a summary with the second head:

"Fu Shang is just a young boy. It is possible that some of the courtiers left behind by his family will dissatisfy him. How about replacing Huo Shiyi with us so that we can observe more easily. If Huo Shiyi is really dissatisfied with Fengyun Shangxin,

until it can be used by us.”

Therefore, the head of the Chu Qi family sent someone to summon Fengyun Shang and exchanged him with Feng Qiyang on the pretext of letting Huo Shiyi recuperate.
