Chapter 74: The smoke rises again, and the bandits are endless?(1/2)
After lunch and resting for a while, everyone started to rush.
The guards of the nobles' children were hung at the end, guarding the more than two thousand horse bandit captives.
Because of them, the speed of traveling is not fast.
At this time, Liu Mingqi and others were no longer on the road, so they naturally didn't care.
Fei Liding found an opportunity and came forward to Liu Mingjing and said, "Little Prince... There are more than two thousand horse bandits, I wonder if you have any measures to deal with it?"
"What? Do you have a way?" Liu Mingjing looked at him with a smile.
Feliding smiled and said, "Look at what if you leave these people to us? Let's deal with them, and then you are too lazy to be burdened and don't need to waste food."
"good."
Liu Mingjing agreed directly.
During the meal before, Liu Mingqi said that she would not kill them.
If you leave these people behind, and when your identity is leaked, Dakang's reputation in the Western Regions will become even more resounding.
It is natural to let these small countries recruit them now.
Feliding was overjoyed, "Then let's stop in the next town and notify the family to send someone to accept them. Do you think it's okay?"
"OK."
Liu Mingjing also agreed very readily.
But before Fei Liding could continue to be happy, Liu Mingqi added: "But you have to wait... I will kill all the evil people here, so that those merchants and ordinary people who were harmed by them will not be able to rest in peace."
Fei Liding was stunned. He looked at Liu Mingjing and found that Liu Mingjing did not object, so he said, "I don't know how you want to distinguish them by Lord Songbuma?"
“This is simple.”
Liu Mingqi said: "Separate them and detain them, and then let them vote unnamed. Whoever is the most sinful person will be killed..."
Fei Liding said in confusion: "What if they have personal grudges and end up killing the wrong one?"
Liu Mingqi waved her hand directly and said, "What are the horse bandits who kill wrongly? They are hated by people among the horse bandits, and that is not a good thing."
This was the first time that Fei Liding discovered that Liu Mingqi was so murderous, but the little prince and generals next to him were still as natural as they were, which made him even more awe of these barbarians.
No matter how cruel they are.
The combat power is there.
Whether it is the three thousand Khotan army or the five thousand strongest horse bandits, they are like the Tofu army, shattered as soon as they are fought, and they are even worthy of one-third of the soldiers to fight.
When you encounter such a fierce god, what do you dare to say more?
Besides, Fei Liding's eyesight is not bad. He has seen it over the years. The status of this Lord Songbuma is probably not much lower than that of the little prince. Is it always inseparable if the guards behind him who are not easy to mess with at first sight?
Feliding, who had restrained his mind, returned to the group of noble children and gave Liu Mingjing's promise, and a cheering voice came from behind.
...
The army walked all the way to tonight's destination - a market town called Liba Town.
This market town is located on the river about fifty miles away and is also a small wharf. It is very convenient to transport on weekdays, so a market has gradually formed.
It is said to be a market, but in fact they also have serious city walls and fortresses, and they can resist for a while if they encounter an attack.
Of course, it will be very troublesome if you don’t have these. Many merchants, caravans, and ships are not willing to stay on your side.
After all, it is necessary to have a safety factor to ensure that everyone’s transaction is completed, and then they can rest here with confidence, so that the market will prosper.
This market town does not belong to the jurisdiction of any Western Region country. They are equivalent to an autonomous territory and they all manage their own affairs, just like a small society.
However, such market towns have limited ability to resist risks, and they can still withstand one or two thousand people. When they encounter an army of thousands, they will collapse instantly.
Usually when a large army comes, they can only pay money and food to get peace.
Those powerful Malaysian bandits usually collect protection fees in this way without expending the flood and fishing all at once.
Therefore, there are more than one hundred such towns on the land in the Western Regions along the road along several rivers.
Since the territory of the Western Regions is too large, and the population and control of the twelve countries are not enough to cover larger areas, these towns are also acquiesced to exist.
Anyway, the kings can still collect taxes based on the distance and near, and do not have to work hard on their own. Why not do this?
More than two thousand prisoners of war were taken over by the guards of the nobles' children. They knew that these people would become slaves in China in the future and free labor, so they did not beat and scold them at any time, nor did they demand too much from these horse bandits.
That is, at noon, the group of prisoners just ate some horse meat that died in battle, and their stomachs were not very good, so they didn't leave quickly.
But no one dared to shout or rush into privately.
Before leaving, Liu Mingqi asked them to identify a group of horse bandits who killed the most, and they didn't ask questions or check the examination, and they just killed them.
Such fierce and cruelty made them dare not have the intention to resist at all.
Even if there are some, you dare not act rashly when you look at the three thousand troops in front of you, which are like demons.
Besides, I have already won one round, so there shouldn't be another second round, right?
When this group of people was nervous and lucky, the sound came from the distant sky.
"Puffy..."
Continuous sounds.
Four red fireworks rose to the sky. Although they looked very small, they could see clearly when the sun was in full swing this afternoon.
These horse bandits had seen this red firework before, just as they appeared and launched an impact.
Now that it appeared again, they immediately thought, was there another eye-opening bandit who wanted to rob?
Now it's good!
I will have a companion when I wait for others.
These idiots, don’t you know that they are about to hit the nail on the head?
...
Unlike their gloating, the Dakang army quickly reacted.
They were originally moving forward with light clothes, and immediately changed into armor and lined up to form a battle mode.
It was at this time that everyone could already feel the violent sound of the ground vibration.
This is a sign of the arrival of a large army.
A group of lieutenants, military marquis, and teams were all gathering together, waiting for orders.
Liu Mingqi shouted: "Mingjing, Brother Bao, Dazhu, you will lead two thousand people to directly respond to the enemy head-on... Activate the wooden grenade with a grenade, and at least three consecutive shots!"
"But what if the enemy is these horse bandits again?" Liu Mingjing asked.
"No matter what the enemy is, having 20,000 people is an amazing number of people. Don't underestimate the enemy." Liu Mingqi said seriously: "Remember, this time it's still a tactic. Once an entanglement occurs, the person behind immediately uses a wooden handle grenade to blow it... and defeat the enemy's formation with the fastest and most powerful charge!"
"yes!"
The generals answered in unison.
"Brother Zhang, Captain Guo, you two lead 500 people each. After them, they will enter the enemy camp and kill from both sides to the middle. Don't bother with them. Just use a wooden grenade if you should use a wooden handle!" The young man reminded again.
"good!"
Zhang Qin and Captain Guo both nodded.
Both of them are very steady people and are determined to implement Liu Mingqi's instructions.
Liu Mingqi waved her hand: "Then go, everyone should take care of themselves and come back alive!... By the way, I'll leave five hundred steel knives, I'm useful!"
"good!"
Liu Mingjing glanced at him, and winked at Fan Shan and Suo Xuan without any trace. After receiving their response, he turned around and started running slowly on the grassland with his troops.
The army rushed out quickly.
Then there were only Liu Mingqi, Fan Shan and Suo Xuan, two secret spies and translators of the embroidered guards, as well as the 300 Tubo heroes of Xidan Dunzhu, the children of the nobles and their more than 100 guards, and then more than 2,000 prisoners of war.
"General Feliding!"
Liu Mingqi greeted him loudly.
Felidin hurriedly rode over, "Mr. Songbuma!"
His attitude is much more respectful than before.
As long as you are not blind, you can see that it is Liu Mingqi giving orders.
And in the end, Liu Mingqi did not charge, but stayed behind.
I have never heard of it. The master went to the front to charge himself, and then the master could stay behind.
Obviously, the leader of this army is Liu Mingqi!
The identity of this Lord Songbuma is much more noble than I thought!
But Feliding didn't have time to think about it.
Liu Mingqi said: "Those prisoners...especially this rebel tiger, as long as there is any movement, I will kill them. Don't let them rebel successfully... Is there any problem?"
To be continued...
