The heavens start from saving Daming

Chapter 250 The door god is broken at the foot of the dead tree mountain, and the mountain tiger is killed with an arrow on the cloud mountain

Dry Tree Mountain is located in Guan County, east of Daming Mansion, not far from Yanggu County, and Qinghe County is next door to Yanggu County.

The head of the cottage here is called Bao Xu, and people in the Jianghu are called the Sangmen God.

Because the only hobby of this person is to kill people, he can be regarded as a murderer who can stop children from crying at night.

Li Yunze chose to hit him first, naturally because this person likes to rob houses and kill people everywhere, which is a scourge that must be eliminated.

He just led hundreds of cavalry, leaving Yang Zhi to watch the house, and went straight to Dry Tree Mountain.

The last time I went to the Western Army to make military achievements, the biggest gain was of course not the promotion of the military rank because of the military exploits, but the large amount of horses spent from the Western Army after the war.

There was no large-scale horse farm in the Song Dynasty, and naturally it was impossible to form a powerful cavalry similar to the cavalry of the Han and Tang Dynasties.

The Great Song Dynasty, which claims to have a higher victory rate on the battlefield than the Tang Dynasty, actually achieved its victory rate on its own land. Because of the lack of cavalry, it is impossible to pursue and encircle, and usually it can only defeat the battle.

Unlike the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty, most of the wars are fought in the enemy's territory.If you win, you can pursue the encirclement and annihilation, and if you lose, you can retreat calmly.

In fact, this is a sneaky exchange of concepts, and the real combat effectiveness of the two sides is completely incomparable.

In the Song Dynasty, which lacked horse breeding land, the most important channel to obtain horses was to exchange and purchase horses in Guanzhong, Qingtang and Xixia.

Li Yunze was not short of money, so he naturally took advantage of the time when he was withdrawing his troops to make a big purchase.

Training cavalry is a long-term process. The hundreds of troops he brought now are not so much cavalry as cavalry infantry, that is, dragoons.

Bao Xu, who hadn't gone down the mountain for some time, led hundreds of his followers down the mountain in a mighty way, and searched for a village for tens of miles.

After defeating the resistance of the villagers and local archers, Bao Xu laughed loudly and waved his broadsword, "Slaughter this village!"

He likes to kill, but he can't kill wherever he goes.

If that was the case, his place would have been wiped out long ago.

The reason why the village was massacred was because this village didn't pay the property fee, not to mention that the minions he sent to ask for the property fee were arrested and sent to the government.

Not only that, the nearby villages were also affected, and they all began to refuse to pay property fees.

Of course Bao Xu couldn't bear this kind of thing, so he wanted to make an example to others.

Brandishing a broad sword, he broke into the village, screaming and kicking open the door to enter and kill.

On the road outside the village, there was a dense sound of horseshoes, and Bao Xu subconsciously turned his head to look over, but he was surprised to see a large group of officers and soldiers roaring towards them on horseback.

He turned pale with shock, "You picky bastards actually reported to the officials to ambush me?!"

There were too many officers and soldiers and they were cavalry, so Bao Xu turned around immediately and ran to his horse.

As soon as he got on his horse, a sharp arrow roared towards him, directly knocking his horse to the ground.

Bao Xu, who was struggling to get up, hadn't taken a breath yet, and rushed past him roaring as soon as he rode a fast horse.

Li Yunze, who was holding a long spear, pierced Bao Xu's chest with one shot, pierced it with majestic force and picked him up, galloping all the way for more than a hundred steps before stopping.

Shaking the spear, he threw Bao Xu, who was still breathing, to the ground.

"Where did you come from?" Bao Xu, who spat out blood, looked at Li Yunze who was walking beside him, and still struggled to ask who it was.

Li Yunze raised his leg, and then stepped heavily on his head.

'puff! '

The watermelon is broken.

The battle didn't last long. The minions brought by Bao Xu were either killed or knelt down and begged for mercy and were arrested.

Looking at the many villagers who had already been slaughtered, Li Yunze didn't bother to interrogate, and directly ordered, "Let them dig a hole!"

The captives dug a big hole tremblingly, and then they were all driven down.

After filling and leveling, the horses will trample and level it, and the harvest of this land will be good next year.

"Liangshan hero?" After casually snapping off the broad sword Bao Xu left behind, Li Yunze spat, "Bah!"

On the way, they accidentally wiped out the main force of the Kushushan bandits, and even Bao Xu, the head of the village, was shot in the head by Li Yunze.

After that, it was easy and simple to clean up the old nest on the dead tree mountain.

The young and strong gangsters were all taken down the mountain by Bao Xu to do evil, and the remaining old, weak, sick and disabled were no match for elite soldiers.

Moreover, the Dead Tree Mountain is just an ordinary hill, and its danger level cannot be compared with that of Shaohua Mountain and other places.

Faced with the old, weak, sick and disabled bandits, Li Yunze did not let go.

He has seen this kind of thing too much. Many bad guys just get old, but the nature of the bad guys hasn't changed at all.

Li Yunze, who has countless experiences, can't just let the bad guys go soft-hearted just because they are getting old.

Continuous interrogation, continuous reporting and exposure.

After several days of uninterrupted interrogation, the bandits' psychological defense quickly collapsed, and everyone was confessed.

As expected, all the people on the mountain are old bandits, and all of them are thieves who bear blood debts and do all kinds of evil.

Out of the traditional virtue of respecting the old and caring for the young, Li Yunze found a place with a decent view on the Dry Tree Mountain, and sent those old gangsters there, and thus became one with the Dry Tree Mountain.

After finishing the Dead Tree Mountain, Li Yunze led the team eastward, heading straight for Dengyun Mountain in Dengzhou.

Dengyun Mountain is just a small cottage, and the leaders are the Linlong Zou Yuan and the one-horned dragon Zou Run's uncle and nephew.

There are no more than a hundred minions under his command, so it's a copycat, let alone a small gang.

They didn't let go of what the robbers were supposed to do. They robbed houses, gambled, collected property fees, and so on.

After Li Yunze came to Dengzhou with hundreds of dragoons, he did not rush up to fight, but set up a military camp for a few days to repair.

On this day, he took a few entourages and rode lightly to inquire about the military situation.

After wandering around in the forest for a while, a tiger roar suddenly came from afar.

These days, outside the towns and villages, there are wildernesses, and there are countless wild animals.

Naturally, there are many tigers. As a mountain king, it is not unusual to see tigers on Dengyun Mountain.

Li Yunze didn't want to talk to him at first, but he never thought that the tiger would come straight to them.

Seeing the colorful figures in the distance shuttling between the mountains and forests, constantly approaching their side, Li Yunze and the others' horses were already restless.

"Ah."

Steady on the horse under his crotch, Li Yunze stretched his bow and nocked an arrow directly, hitting the word 'King' on the tiger's forehead with precision.

He used a strong bow and armor-piercing heavy arrows, and he had no problem shooting through the tiger's forehead.

The tiger, which had been pierced by a sharp arrow, immediately fell to the ground, and after a while its limbs fluttered, it became silent.

"General's sharp shot!"

The followers immediately cheered.

"There's someone." Li Yunze looked in the direction the tiger came from, and a group of hunters chased him with bows and forks, and surrounded the tiger.

Looking at the tiger on the ground, and then looking at Li Yunze and others riding horses not far away, the hunters headed out came out, "This is a good man, I'm waiting to hunt this tiger."

Li Yunze smiled without saying a word, and one of his followers stepped forward and scolded, "Aren't you going to be blind? I didn't realize it was the tiger we shot!"

Tiger skins are very valuable these days, and tiger bones, tiger whips, etc. are also valuable medicinal materials that can be used as medicines, which are very valuable.

Faced with such a huge sum of money, the hunters naturally want to fight for it.

When the two sides were arguing, the impatient Li Yunze simply waved his hands, "Open your eyes and look at that arrow!"

Only then did the hunters seriously look at the sharp arrow stuck in the tiger's forehead, and they were naturally taken aback by seeing it.

The reason is very simple. It is not the light arrows used for hunting bows that kill tigers, but the armor-piercing heavy arrows specially made by the army for armor-piercing.

"My general is the general of the Forbidden Army in Dongping Mansion!" The entourage proudly declared, "I am waiting for the imperial army to come here to suppress the bandits, so you are going to run into the official army!"

Since ancient times, the people have never fought against the government. When facing the regular army, the hunters really flinched.

The Orion headed out to salute, "It turned out to be in front of Shiwei Tuo, disrespectful, disrespectful. I will leave now."

Upon hearing this nickname, Li Yunze's face turned dark.

He didn't follow the rivers and lakes route, but since he was given this nickname, he was always called by people wherever he went.

Really, it's too unpleasant.

"Wait." Li Yunze called out to a group of hunters, "You are all hunters, how about your bow and arrow skills?"

"Back to the general." The hunter in the animal skin responded immediately, "I dare not say that the arrows have been shot in vain, but everywhere in Dengyun Mountain, I dare to shoot any prey."

Li Yunze smiled, "I heard that there are two brothers from the Xie family here in Dengzhou, who are highly skilled in martial arts. Have you ever met?"

The leader Orion was slightly taken aback, and then looked at a companion beside him who was also holding a steel fork, "General, next is Xie Zhen, whose nickname is Two-Headed Snake. This is his younger brother Jie Bao, whose nickname is Twin-tailed Scorpion."

Li Yunze, who got off his horse, walked up to the two brothers and looked at them.

Both of them were wearing animal skins, holding steel forks, and carrying bows and arrows.They are all tall and majestic, with a pair of big feet.

"Hunting in the mountains is really not easy." Li Yunze nodded in satisfaction, "Do you want to join the Imperial Army for food and pay? The treatment under my general's command is good, not to mention the full salary, and the settling allowance is also enough."

The young Xie Bao couldn't help asking in detail, "Dare to ask the general, how much is the family expenses?"

Being a hunter doesn't make much money, because it's not every day that you can hunt high-value prey like tigers.

The two brothers are not too young, but they have not been able to marry a wife because of their poor family.

"Ten guan allowances per person." Li Yunze kicked the tiger beside him, and pointed, "This is for you too."

All the hunters immediately showed joy.

Being an Orion is very hard. It would be better if you can join the Imperial Army to eat food and pay.

In ancient times, when recruiting soldiers, the quality of the source of soldiers was very important.

The first choice is naturally a good family who has money at home and can bring their own weapons and horses. At least the family of a small landlord can afford it.

Then there is the miner Orion, who are all strong and tough.

Orion miners are of higher quality than those peasant soldiers who put down their hoes.

All the hunters were overjoyed, and they all expressed their willingness to follow the general, and they have done the work of dogs and horses.

In the joyful atmosphere, a group of passers-by dressed as domestic servants came from the foot of the mountain, surrounded by a young man dressed as a young man who came forward.

After seeing the fierce tiger on the ground, everyone showed joy on their faces.

The leader stepped forward and shouted, "This place is the forest in the backyard of my Mao family, please leave quickly!"
