From a small soldier in the frontier army, an immortal god of war was born

Chapter 76: Banditry is rampant; on the eve of war (please read it later~)

Are the bandits so rampant that they even dare to wreak havoc in the county town?
Wu Fengdeng frowned slightly, and couldn't help but think of the time when he was in Guyang County, when there were also endless bandits there.

However, the county town was rarely attacked.

"It seems that the bandits in Xushan are really different. Even the military force of the county government cannot resist them."

While Wu Fengdeng was feeling emotional, the army had already stationed in the city. Yang Shouzheng summoned his deputy general and a group of captains to the county government to discuss the plan. Wu Fengdeng, representing the personal guard camp, was also among them.

"The bandit leader of Xushan is named Pan Jiulong. He has a high level of cultivation and is in the late Tuodan realm. It is said that he is only a step away from breaking through to the Cangqi realm."

"He has eight leaders under him, all of whom are at or above the late stage of bone strengthening. They are all well-known ruthless men around Xushan, and the rest of the bandits are almost all warriors."

"They are highly skilled in military force, and the Xushan Mountains are complex and steep. They defend themselves on the mountain. We in Dinghua County have no way to stop them. We have tried to encircle and suppress them many times but to no avail."

"But fortunately, we have the elite soldiers from the Yang Mansion. With your support, we will definitely be able to bring Pan Jiulong and others to their deaths!"

The county magistrate spoke with obvious excitement.

The problem of bandits in Dinghua County has existed for a long time and has been rampant. The surrounding villages and the county town are in turmoil every year, which has always been his biggest headache.

He wrote to Emperor Qiu more than once to request troops to suppress the rebellion, but the letters fell into oblivion as soon as they were sent, and there was no response.

Even when he went in person to request troops, he was repeatedly stopped at the gate by the capital's guards and was rejected countless times.

In fact, this is easy to understand in the officialdom. The bandits in Xushan did not oppose the imperial court. Even if they killed people, they were just ordinary people and would not offend those officials.

Moreover, it was difficult to suppress the bandits in Xushan, and the imperial court did not offer any reward in the form of silver. No army would be willing to do such a thing that would lose money but gain publicity.

Even if the county magistrate raised money and offered a reward, it was still not enough to fill the teeth of those big shots, so he could only give up again and again and muddle through.

But now it’s different. He has finally got a real elite army. It’s time to put an end to the bandit problem in Dinghua County!

"How many people in your county are still able to join the war?"

The county magistrate was excited, but he did not forget to answer Yang Shouzheng's question: "There are still more than 3,000 militiamen, plus the slaves and private guards of various families and tribes in the city, the total number is close to 4,000."

Yang Shouzheng held his chin and said calmly: "Yes. The Xushan Mountain Group is huge, and it is unrealistic to take it down in one fell swoop. Tonight, we will gather all our forces to attack the mountain from the south and gradually erode the survival area of ​​the mountain bandits."

"Give orders to your respective units to raise their troops tonight."

"Here!"

The captains followed the order and went out. When Wu Fengdeng was about to turn around, he was stopped by Yang Shouzheng.

"grown ups."

"Wu Fengdeng, the master ordered you to be the vanguard and lead the personal battalion to the front. Is it stressful?"

"No, sir. I would love to have one."

Wu Fengdeng replied sincerely that he was looking forward to fighting on the battlefield, and it would be great for him to be a striker.

But these words surprised the county magistrate.

Looking at the very young man in front of me, probably no more than 18 years old, he is already able to take on the position of forward, and he doesn't seem to be afraid at all, which is really rare.

But this person probably doesn't know how vicious the bandits are...

The county magistrate smiled bitterly to himself.

He had dealt with the bandits in Xushan over the years, so he was naturally well aware of their viciousness and cruel methods, especially Pan Jiulong and several of the leaders, who were even more vicious.

If this young man met this, I wonder if he would still be as calm as he is now.

Clang!

Looking at Yang Shouzheng patting Wu Fengdeng's shoulder hard, his firm eyes showed great trust.

The county magistrate immediately shrank his neck, not daring to have any more distracting thoughts.

……

Xushan.

A rotten wooden prisoner car slowly drove into the village, with two pairs of boys and girls imprisoned inside, all of whom were knocked unconscious and collapsed inside.
The prison van jolted and made noises, but they were soon drowned out by even louder cheers.

In the simple village, countless bandits gathered around bonfires, drinking and barbecuing, wrestling shirtless, with spit mixed with dust flying everywhere.

"Ah! Let me go!"

"Help……"

The wolf pack was filled with the sounds of clothes being torn and heart-wrenching cries. The woman who had just been captured and brought up the mountain inevitably became fat meat in the mouths of the wolves.

"My child, my child!"

In one of the images, a woman was trying her best to reach out to the prison van, her face already covered beyond recognition with a mixture of dust, tears, and blood.

But even if she cried until her voice was hoarse, she could only watch the prison van drive deeper into the depths, and her vision was blocked by a series of hideous, grinning faces.

what--

The prison van continued to move forward and drove into the cave.

The candlelight flickered on the wall, illuminating the bandits drinking and playing with money below, where more women were pushed around.

On the high platform, eight men and women with gloomy faces watched coldly.

Click~Click~
The prison car finally stopped in front of a huge tiger-skin stone seat in the deepest part of the cave.

"Master, the two pairs of boys and girls you requested have been captured!"

On the stone seat, a bearded old man slowly opened his eyes. His turbid yellow pupils reflected the appearance of the children. Then he raised his gray beard and grinned, "Not bad, not bad. They are all excellent nutrients."

"Throw it into the cauldron, and then watch the fire at the bottom day and night. Make sure the fire is strong and vigorous, so that the top-grade Hundred Souls Pill can be completely condensed."

"As ordered!"

The man pushed the prisoner cart off, and then another man stumbled in and said in great panic, "Boss, this is bad!"

Pan Jiulong's brows suddenly raised, his expression displeased, and there was murderous intent in his eyes.

"explain."

The bandit swallowed hard, then panted and said, "Brothers down the mountain saw with their own eyes that five thousand elite soldiers from the Diqiu direction entered Dinghua County!"

"Whose flag are you flying?"

"Yes, it's the Yang family!"

Pan Jiulong's pupils shrank slightly, and his hands holding the armrest clenched subconsciously.

"Who is the leader of the team? Is it Yang Jianwen?!"

The bandit shook his head: "It's a man, he looks to be in his forties."

Male, in his forties...

Pan Jiulong recalled his previous memories in the army.

Could it be an elder of the Yang family?
Thinking of this, Pan Jiulong breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he didn't know who that person was, he just had to hope it wasn't the killing god Yang Jianwen, otherwise he would have to pack up and leave.

As for the others, it was not enough for him to escape now.

At least he couldn't leave until he sacrificed a hundred boys and girls and successfully refined the Hundred Souls Pill.

This is his last hope to advance to the Qi Conservation Realm in his old age and extend his life by another 20 years!
"Pass on my order! All the leaders should take their men to guard the important roads on the mountains now. The officers and soldiers are coming to die!"

"As ordered!"

As soon as this order was spread, there were mostly curses in the camp, which were extremely unpleasant to the ears. It completely ruined their happy days of drinking, eating meat and playing with women!
But despite the scolding, they still had to follow the leaders in going out to defend, and could only put down their toys and wait to continue after the war.

In recent years, officers and soldiers have fought against bandits many times. They defended the place in a dangerous place, and every time they were beaten to a pulp and cried bitterly.
I also know that these officers and soldiers are afraid of death.

Yang Fu, huh, isn’t he also a person with two arms and two legs!
Afraid of a ball!
