At the end of the Sui Dynasty

Most of the Miao soldiers successfully climbed to the top of the cliff, but two of them missed and fell to pieces. Fortunately, the bandits on the top of the cliff were all focused on the front, and it was unexpected that there was a Miao soldier behind the cliff. They went up, so although the movement of the two Miao soldiers falling was not small, it did not arouse the vigilance of the bandits.

There is a huge depression on the top of the cliff, which looks like an iron pot. I don't know if it was formed naturally, or it was dug by the bandits themselves. Anyway, it is full of water, which is probably for the bandits to drink.

Ah Mi originally planned to throw a pack of poisonous powder into it, but thinking of what Gao Bufan said, she felt that it was better to forget it. Poison and Gu techniques are just heretical things, and they are easy to deal with a lot of people, but in a battlefield with thousands of troops The above effect is not great, and poisoning is useless at this time, the battle ahead is starting.

The people went around the pool to the other side, and found that there were stone steps here, so they touched down along the stone steps.Many caves have been dug on the cliff, which are the places where bandits live. Looking down from the top, you can see that there are several large platforms protruding below, and there are guardrails on the platforms. It was as bright as day, and the bandits on the platform were busy throwing stones and rolling logs down.

Auntie and Mengzi quickly rushed down the stone steps, swinging their knives and slashing. The bandits on the platform were busy throwing stones down, but they didn't expect that an enemy suddenly came out behind them, and many people were cut down instantly. When they reacted, a large number of Miao soldiers had jumped down from a high place like monkeys, and a hatchet was slashing around their heads.

Soon the bandits on the platform were cleared away by the Miao soldiers like cutting melons and vegetables. Meng Zi was ready to kill him, and was about to kill him on the next platform. Auntie quickly grabbed him, pointed to the stones on the ground, Only then did the latter react, and said happily, "Good way."

As a result, a group of Miao soldiers picked up stones and smashed them down on the platform on the lower floor. Immediately, they smashed the bandits on the lower platform to the sky and grabbed the ground. So soon, the Miao soldiers occupied the second platform, but , The bandits also reacted at this time, and launched a fierce counterattack against the platform.

The third master on Longhu Cliff is named Tian Dafeng, nicknamed Tian Da Bangchui. He belongs to the kind of person with well-developed limbs and a simple mind. He saw an enemy suddenly killed on the top of the cliff, and he didn't bother to think about how the enemy came. , only roaring and urging his subordinates to attack forward, trying to take the platform back.

The Miao soldiers were condescending and took full advantage. The bandits were unable to attack for a long time and suffered heavy casualties. Finally, their morale lost and they fled down the cliff one after another, or hid in nearby caves.

Gao Bufan saw it clearly from below, and couldn't help but said happily: "It seems that Auntie and Mengzi have succeeded."

With Gao Bufan's order, the Miao soldiers tore down the water village that had already been burned seven to eighty-eight, and docked at the pier under the cliff again.At this time, the bandits on the cliff were running down the road, and they were hacked to death by the angry Miao soldiers as soon as they appeared on the pier.

The thieves found out that they were finished. There were enemies above and below. Nearly 200 people were sandwiched between the stone steps of the cliff. They were so crowded that they could not go up or down.

At this time, Auntie, Mengzi and others threw stones on the top again, killing and injuring countless bandits on the spot, crowded and trampled, the bandits fell down like dumplings, and their flesh and blood flew all over the place. , blood flowed into rivers, and the screams and cries shook the whole field. …

This situation was unexpected by Gao Bufan, so he hurriedly ordered people to prop the boat away from the pier, so as not to cause harm to the fish in the pond.

"Stop fighting, let's surrender, let's surrender." The third master Liu Dafeng shouted in a rough voice.

"Surrender, surrender!"

Aunt hurriedly stopped the Miao Bing who was throwing stones, Meng Zi was throwing vigorously, and said in bewilderment: "Why don't you throw it, it will kill all these thieves."

A concubine shook her head and said, "King Qi needs to live to establish his prestige, and also needs to live to give gifts."

Meng Zi patted his forehead and said: "That's right, you can't go to see Bajun prefect Xiao Yu empty-handed, well, let's spare their lives."

The falling rocks stopped on the cliff, and the thieves crowded on the stone ladder were finally relieved.

"The King of Qi ordered you to wait for the thieves to come down one by one, then put down your weapons and surrender, but you will not die, and anyone who dares to resist will be killed!" Gao Dahe sternly shouted.

Ever since, the bandits obediently walked down the stone ladder one by one, handed over their weapons, and were caught without a fight. In the end, more than 150 people were arrested.

The next job was much easier. The Miao soldiers climbed up the Dragon and Tiger Cliff, cleared out the hidden cottages one by one, and moved all the property and food stored on the cliff to transport away.

Aunt rescued a group of women from a cave. There were 32 women in total. The youngest was estimated to be about ten years old, and the older ones were 40 to [-] years old. The private parts are exposed in full view and they don't know how to cover them up. Obviously, these bandits were taken from various villages and towns for them to commit adultery. It seems that they have been completely numb, which is simply outrageous.

"These bastards, really deserve to die!" Gao Dahe gritted his teeth.

Gao Bufan also had a cold face, and asked Auntie to put on clothes to hide their shame, and then transport them to the other side by boat, and then hand them over to the government to notify their relatives to come and claim them.

At dawn, the sun was rising, and a raging fire was ignited on Longhu Cliff. The Miao soldiers looted everything that could be moved, and set fire to everything that could not be moved.Gao Bufan also ordered people to destroy the reservoir on the top of the cliff, as well as the stone ladder to climb the cliff, so that no strongman would come here to occupy it.

After doing all this, Gao Bufan led the Miao soldiers and escorted the captives down the river. All the Miao soldiers were very happy. Although dozens of brothers were killed or injured in this battle, the harvest was undoubtedly very rich. Everyone put on their shoes, and they also had an extra iron weapon in their hands, some even had two.

Soon, everyone returned to the village. After hearing the news, all the villagers ran to the riverside. Seeing that the Miao soldiers brought back the prisoners, and even the third leader Liu Dabangchui was arrested, they immediately realized that Longhuya had been captured. After rooting it out, you don't have to worry about this group of bandits doing evil in the future. They are all rejoicing and running around telling everyone, thunderous applause one after another.

The Han people always look down on the Miao people, and the Miao people are also hostile to the Han people, but at this moment, the Miao soldiers can't help puffing out their chests proudly, and their eyebrows are beaming, because at this moment, they are the heroes of the bandit suppression that everyone is looking forward to. …

People in the world long to be recognized and respected by others, and Miao people are no exception. This is a sense of pride and value.

Ah Qing and Meng Zi held their heads high, their faces flushed, and their eyes glowing, as if they were drunk.

Auntie Miao couldn't help being a little flustered, but when she saw Gao Bufan who was always smiling and calm, she immediately calmed down, thinking, His Royal Highness King Qi has gone through many battles and conquered such a huge territory. In his eyes, the battle of hundreds of people is probably not worth it. It seems that his knowledge is still too small, and he is complacent when he wins a little bit of victory.

"It's amazing, it's amazing. At that time, the county guard led five thousand officers and soldiers, and hundreds of boats couldn't get off Longhuya. As a result, His Royal Highness King Qi led only a hundred people to eradicate the thieves on Longhuya. Captured the three thieves alive, he is simply a god."

"That's right, that's right, it's like a god will come down to earth."

"Hey, if the king of Qi doesn't have the real book, how can he rule the Central Plains? In my opinion, the king of Qi is the real son of heaven, and he will be the emperor in the future."

The villagers whispered to each other and talked a lot, Gao Dahe looked proud, and now King Qi's reputation in Badi was well established.

Gao Bufan led the crowd back to the village, gathered all the captives together and imprisoned them, and then rewarded them for meritorious service. He piled up all the captured spoils by category, and the dead and wounded Miao soldiers got the richest share. Pensions, and the rest are distributed according to their merits, those with greater merits will get more, those with lesser merits will get less, and in the end, except for food, all the spoils will be taken away, and Gao Bufan will not keep any of them.

Now the Miao soldiers are all satisfied, and they are all overjoyed, because the average value of the money and items that each person gets is more than ten taels of silver, which is a "huge fortune" for ordinary Han people, especially Not to mention the poor Miao people.

The people in the village were watching all the time, and they were all envious. Someone asked on the spot if they could join King Qi's command. Hey, this is what Gao Bufan wanted. He immediately ordered Gao Dahe to accept the villagers' registration, and finally picked thirty strong the offspring.

The news spread quickly, and people from nearby villages and towns came to watch the excitement, and some people offered to join. In just a few days, Gao Dahe recruited 150 people. At this time, Gao Bufan decisively stopped accepting people, because He can't afford to feed too many, and managing hundreds of mouths to feed is not an easy task.

On this day, the county magistrate of Fuling County was finally alarmed, and rushed to see him with local officials from the county.

"My subordinate Fuling county magistrate, Wan Jin'an, has seen His Royal Highness Qi Wang, but I don't know that His Royal Highness Qi Wang is coming, so I am disappointed." Seeing that Gao Bufan is so young, Wan County magistrate was surprised but did not dare to neglect, respectfully Give a gift.

Gao Bufan smiled and said: "This king was planning to take the gang of thieves on Longhuya to the county town to be punished by Lord Wan, but unexpectedly, Lord Wan came in person."

County magistrate Wan had heard that Gao Bufan had wiped out the gang of bandits on Longhuya, but he was a little skeptical, but when he saw the three bandit leaders who were tied up with his own eyes, he finally believed it, and was so shocked that he couldn't be more shocked , was so excited that he spoke incoherently: "It's them, it's them, the damn thieves who have harmed the county for many years. At the time, the prefect led his troops and failed to take them down, but they were uprooted by King Qi in one fell swoop. King Qi really... Going down to earth, His Royal Highness Qi Wang has saved the people of this county from a great harm, please be respected by the officials!"

The magistrate of Wan County seemed to be a kind-hearted person, but he actually gave Gao Bufan a deep bow.
