Chapter 197 Suppressing Bandits(1/2)
The three girls distributed the money they found to the women in distress, which was not much, a thousand yuan each.
This was because Zongzhen reminded them that if they were given too much money, they might be in danger.
He also specifically warned these women: "Don't change clothes yet. Wait until you go to a safe place before washing your face, bathing and changing clothes."
The women cried and thanked them.
Yuan Liang was not involved in this matter and spoke to Zhang Xian: "Can you defeat any of those grandmasters in the North?"
"Don't talk to me." Zhang Xian curled his lips: "If you are in danger, why don't I die for you?"
"I just don't want anything to happen to you."
After waiting for a while, a group of poor women left one after another. If you were lucky, the one you liked would get an extra horse. Some people would get one or two pieces of jewelry.
Shanzhi's mood was not high: "The world outside is not necessarily better than in the mountains."
"There are good people everywhere, and there are assholes everywhere."
Yuan Liang and others returned to the city and picked up two large pots of steamed meat.
When returning to the inn, Zhang Zhang was curious: "What are you doing?"
He went out empty-handed and came back with several packages and two large pots of meat?
"I won't tell you."
From the moment he entered Yan Shui Dao, Yuan Liang planned to make some noise and attract Yan Jiu to come over on his own initiative.
Unfortunately, the first batch of introductions were so bastard that Yuan Liang's idea was temporarily frustrated.
The next day I left the city to go to the next city. I didn't want to be stopped by an army not long after leaving the city.
A man dressed as an officer rode up to the front and said, "May I ask your surname, please?"
"what?"
"Yesterday, someone reported a murder outside the city. It seems to have been committed by the young master and others." The officer stared at Yuan Liang and watched Yuan Liang's reaction while speaking. He found that Yuan Liang's expression remained unmoved. He hesitated and then said: "Please
Young Master, please come with us to the Yamen."
"Aren't you officers and soldiers? You are not police officers."
"Both the soldiers and the government officials can take you." Of course they are not here to take people, they are here to kill people for the money in the village.
Yuan Liang took two steps closer. There was no bloody smell on this guy, which meant he didn't kill many people.
However, this behavior is a bit excessive.
Just when he was thinking about how to deal with this matter, a hail of arrows flew from behind.
It was really like a heavy rain, and five or six hundred people could not shoot so many arrows.
They were soldiers, and their numbers were superior. Opposite them were ordinary people, with only a few dozen guards in total.
In the feeling of the general leading the army, this deal can be done.
So I actually did it, without even waiting for the guy who asked the question to send back the message.
Yuan Liang sighed: "Kill him."
The three women are kind to weak women, but to deal with this kind of abuse... They have never had a good impression of the Southern Dynasty army, and this time they fought with the greatest strength.
In just a few minutes, the killed army collapsed and fled in all directions.
Yuan Liang ordered: "Kill the fastest runner."
The faster you run, the faster you die. After countless lives fell here, a wise man finally thought of surrender and knelt down: "Surrender, surrender."
But there are also fools who kneel down and surrender without forgetting to say that we are officers and soldiers and you can't kill us or anything like that.
Talking too much makes people annoying, and no one is left who talks like this.
In the end, of the more than 500 soldiers, only about 60 people were left kneeling on the ground.
Yuan Liang walked over: "Do you want to live?"
Of course I thought so.
"I'm not familiar with you, but you are very familiar with each other. If you point out the most bastard, the evil person who always bullies others, I will kill him if you point him out. If you can't point him out, I will kill you."
The sixty or so frightened soldiers thought for a moment and then turned to look at each other.
Soon someone pointed to a strong man: "He."
Yuan Liang walked forward: "Only you?"
The big man who was accused yelled back angrily, and shouted at Yuan Liang: "He, he doesn't give money to prostitutes, knocks on the widow's door, and steals her money."
Yuan Liang waited for a while: "Don't other people know anything?"
He planned to let some people go and let those soldiers complain and tell Yan Jiu that I, Yuan Liang, was here.
For any army, even if it is an army full of ruffians, it is impossible for only five or six hundred people to be bad. Bad people are only a minority.
However, these military gangsters performed very poorly.
The soldiers were frightened and exposed each other. After talking nonsense, Yuan Liang discovered... Even though there are many good people, these women have been in the army for too long and have always done wrong things.
After thinking for a while: "Get on the horse and move forward."
The prisoners didn't know what it meant, but they all mounted their horses in despair and cooperated to move forward.
Yuan Liang followed slowly and saw a high mountain in front of him: "Are there any bandits?" It was a rare visit to the Northland, and there was always something to do.
Immediately, a prisoner shouted back: "There are none here, but there are more than a hundred people in front of Erlang Mountain with two leaders."
"lead the way."
The prisoners had their own thoughts and wondered whether Yuan Liang would let them attack the mountain...
Guessed it right.
After walking five miles away, we saw a spread of mountains. There was a wooden house on the top of the mountain where several sentinels lived. The mountain behind was the village.
The peaks in Fuyun Mountain are not as tall as those in Fuyun Mountain, and the distance between the peaks is very far. If the peaks in Fuyun Mountain look like ten fingers are spread out, this Erlang Mountain looks like the toes are spread out.
The peaks in front are not high, and a path winds through the woods.
The officers and soldiers pointed to the wooden house halfway up the mountain and said, "That's right there."
"Go and destroy them. Those who don't go will be killed."
The prisoners dismounted with a grimace, and when they were about to charge up, Yuan Liang said: "If you kill one bandit, you will be let go; but only after all the bandits are eliminated."
In order to survive and get away from the bald evil star behind them, more than sixty prisoners gathered together to discuss for a while and then divided into three teams to attack the mountain.
The bandits in the wooden house on the mountain had discovered them early and sounded the alarm gong.
The clanging sound spread in all directions, and soon the sound of gongs also sounded from the mountains behind.
Seeing that there were many officers and soldiers, several spies fled over the mountain.
Yuan Liang was too lazy to move, so he turned around and asked Zongzhen: "Are you going?"
Zong Zhen shook his head: "Killing robbers is boring."
"Zhang Zhang, Zhang Xinxin, Zuo Jun, Zuo Zilong, the four of you and Hei Qi ride up."
A group of masters from the Yuan family took the order and followed the prisoners up the mountain.
Blood Shadow also went, he wanted to monitor the prisoners.
The battle was quite brutal, with more than sixty prisoners dead, a dozen killed and a dozen injured.
Xueying couldn't stand it anymore and took the initiative to help. Two Zhang Er Zuo led people to rush forward quickly.
Compared with the bad guys in the village before and compared with the more than 500 soldiers, the 100 or so people in the village are still a bit difficult to kill, otherwise they would not have been the king of the mountain for so long.
After waiting for about two hours, the prisoners came out one after another.
Many people were covered in blood, even those with broken legs were limping over. Almost everyone claimed to be a thief or bandit.
"You can go." Yuan Liang rode forward.
Xueying came over and asked: "There are two more seriously injured."
The round-faced man took out a Star Pill and said, "Each person ate half of it."
"Xingxing Dan? Isn't it too wasteful?"
"Do what you say."
The blood shadow quickly entered the mountain.
After waiting for a while, two seriously injured prisoners also came out.
Come to Yuan Liang and kneel down.
Yuan Liang spoke softly: "Let's go. It's not easy to live once. Do good things in the future."
The two prisoners kowtowed before leaving.
Not to mention the enemy, but friendly forces, or even your own army, will most likely do last-ditch damage when encountering a seriously injured enemy like them.
To be continued...
