Chapter 168: Operation Cleanup (Part 2)

However, most of the shields of these bandit soldiers were just some simple wooden shields made by themselves. How could they resist the powerful armor-breaking arrows and musket bullets of soldiers from the soldiers of the Qinglong Empire?

Under the bombardment of arrow rain and bullets, the shields quickly shattered all over the ground, and the bandits holding the shield were naturally shot to the ground.

However, these shield-holding bandits at least bought some time for their companions in the rear, making them rush closer. At this time, the distance between the two sides was only about one hundred meters.

At this distance, the simple hunting bows of the bandits barely entered the range, so the bandits and archers also set off their bows and shot arrows at the enemy opposite.

Unfortunately, the arrows shot from these simple hunting bows were too weak, and even the light plate armor on the skeleton musketeers could not penetrate it. It fell on the armor and only made a jingling sound.

On the other hand, as the distance between the Qinglong Empire was closer, the shooting rates of archers and musketeers were greatly improved. Almost every round of shooting, they were able to shoot hundreds of bandit soldiers.

Wang Ergou was anxious to see his big-box soldiers being shot down. After all, these bandits are the basis for his future domination! If all of them die, it would be difficult for him to form such a large team in the future.

At this time, the soldiers of the Qinglong Empire opposite threw grenades at his subordinates who had rushed to within fifty meters of the opposite formation.

After a violent explosion, thousands of bandit soldiers were killed, many of them were senior veteran thieves under Wang Ergou. They were the most powerful of these bandit soldiers, but now facing the bombing of a large number of grenades, they were also blasted and covered in bruises and died miserably.

Before the remaining bandits could react, the Qinglong Empire artillery opposite pushed the five cannons that had been replaced with shotguns into the formation and opened fire at the bandits who had been blinded by the explosion of grenades.

Rumble! Accompanied by loud thunder, a large number of tiny steel balls were fired from the muzzles of these cannons.

These steel balls are only about one centimeter in diameter, and each cannon can be loaded with hundreds. After being fired, only five cannons immediately interwoven into a dense rain of metal in front of the formation, hitting the bandits hard.

As this metal storm composed of a large number of steel balls swept past, more than a thousand bandits were swept down and rushed to the front. The most brave and warlike bandits were completely reimbursed.

This terrifying scene completely awakened the other bandits, scaring them to throw away their armor and fleeing behind them in a panic. Wang Ergou, who was standing beside him, kept barking, and even killed seven or eight deserters with his own hands, could not stop the army's defeat.

Seeing this, Wu Dahui on the opposite side immediately ordered the entire army to attack and began to hunt down these bandits who had been completely destroyed.

At the same time, this battle also made him understand that what his emperor emperor said was indeed correct. To deal with these mobs, these three axes were enough, and there was no need for any advanced weapons at all.

First, there were bows and arrows, muskets, then grenades, and finally the cannons and shots. How could ordinary mobs withstand these three axes? I'm afraid that even the regular troops of many countries will be defeated in the face of such violent attacks like storms!

Under the pursuit of the soldiers of the Qinglong Empire led by Wu Daxiong, these bandits fled one by one, and some of them were extremely sinisterly stumbled over their companions, wanting to leave these companions to delay the enemy's pursuit speed. The insidious and cruelty of these bandits and bullies was fully demonstrated in this process.

However, even if most bandits run away for life, they will not be able to fight against those tired undead soldiers.

In the end, most of them were caught up by the skeleton musketeers, and then they turned into corpses under the volley of guns and bayonets.

Only Wang Ergou, with dozens of confidants with ferocious beast mounts, finally successfully escaped the pursuit.

Wu Dahui did not continue to pursue Wang Ergou and others. The bandit leader who had basically been beaten to the commander of the bare body had others to deal with it. His mission was to restore Linchang Town as soon as possible.

Just when Wu Dahui led his troops into the town, a small number of bandits left by Wang Ergou were already caught by the people in the town. Obviously, these townsmen were very angry with the bandits who were acting arrogant in the town. Several of them resisted too fiercely and were beaten to death by the townsmen. The death was really miserable, and they could not tell the human appearance, because these townsmen did not have any serious weapons in their hands, and they basically killed the bandits with stones, so the death of the corpse can be imagined.

After confirming that there were indeed no bandits in the town, Wu Dahui began to conduct a public trial of the captured bandits and bullies according to the actions of His Majesty, and let the townsmen come out to identify the crimes of these bandits.

Those who were extremely guilty were beheaded directly in front of everyone, while those who were not guilty were sent to mine or to build roads or city walls.

Only those who really have no crime will be released, and such bandits almost do not exist. After all, those who join Wang Ergou are not good people, either those robbers who like to rob, kill and rob, or bullies who like to bully men and women.

And the townsmen, watching the bandits and bullies who had been stepping on their heads and doing unbridled evil on the spot, couldn't help but cheer excitedly, and the rule of the Qinglong Empire was not as resistant as before.

Wu Dahui was also very happy to see this situation. You should know that when they first came, the local people were very hostile to them and did not trust them, the soldiers of the Qinglong Empire.

Previously, millions of troops from the Golden Eagle Empire came, and Emperor Guo Dafu asked them to move all the people to those big cities. Many people were very uncooperative. They either deliberately delayed the time, fled to the mountains, or refused to move, for fear that this would be a scam, and once they followed them, they would be killed.

But the facts proved that the Qinglong Empire did not deceive them. Those who followed the migration escaped, but the people who insisted on staying all ended up miserably.

They were first robbed of almost all their food and money by the soldiers of the Golden Eagle Empire, and then they met those bandits and bully landlords who took advantage of the chaos to rob. I don’t know how many people were killed by these bandits and bully landlords during this period.

It is precisely because of the hardship and comparison that these people have finally understood who is the ruler who is good to them, and they consciously began to support the Qinglong Empire, a very young new regime.

Just after Wu Dahui and others cleared the bandits and bullies in the town, they led the townsmen to start rebuilding the town and resume production, Wang Ergou and his dozens of confidants were being chased to the point of being invincible and had no way to enter the ground.

Although he escaped by chance on the battlefield, his whereabouts were always under the surveillance of the blood-billed birds sent by the Qinglong Empire. Even if he fled back to the mountains and forests that he was most familiar with, he could not escape the tracking of these little birds.

With the guidance of these blood-mouthed birds, the war beast troops of the Qinglong Empire arrived quickly and entered the mountains and forests. For these war beasts, it was almost like going home. They were really like fish in water and were not adapted at all. Among them, there were ferocious beasts such as bone spurs wild dogs with a sensitive sense of smell. At this time, even without the guidance of the blood-mouthed birds, Wang Ergou and the others would find it difficult to escape the pursuit.

In the continuous pursuit and rounding up, Wang Ergou watched his confidants be dragged down by the war beasts of the Qinglong Empire one by one, but he did not dare to stay for a moment to rescue his subordinates, because as a innate master, he could vaguely detect that there was an extremely terrifying existence staring at him secretly. Once he stayed to rescue those subordinates, the other party would probably attack him immediately.

After being fled like a cat and playing with a mouse for about a week, Wang Ergou couldn't hold on anymore. After eating the last piece of jerky on his body, he collapsed and turned around and shouted at the jungle behind him: "Come on! If you have sex, come out and fight me head-on! Let you see how powerful this king's axe is!"

Looking at Wang Ergou, who was left with only a commander, the ferocious beast that had been following Wang Ergou seemed to feel that the prey had no fun playing with it, and slowly appeared from the jungle.

At this time, Wang Ergou finally saw the other party clearly. This was a second-level terrifying caracal.

This terrifying caracal has the strength of the third level of innateness, and is considered a ferocious beast that has recently joined the Qinglong Empire. However, this guy is worthy of being a big cat. He is obviously stronger than Wang Ergou, but he did not kill the other party immediately. Instead, he followed the other party, just slightly released some of his own aura and constantly put pressure on the other party, causing the bandit leader to be so mentally that he almost collapsed.

Seeing that the ferocious beast that he treated him like a mouse finally appeared, Wang Ergou didn't care about the gap in strength between the two sides, and immediately waved his battle axe and rushed towards the terrifying caracal.

However, he had only the first level of innate cultivation, and in the eyes of this terrifying caracal with the third level of innate cultivation, his movements were as slow as a snail. He just jumped lightly to avoid the opponent's attack, and then he cut a big hole in Wang Ergou's neck with one claw, cutting off his trachea and blood vessels. Suddenly, a stream of blood gushed out of it.

Wang Ergou tried hard to raise his hand to cover the wound on his neck, but he still couldn't stop the blood from splashing out, and at the same time he could not breathe in another breath of air. His strength quickly disappeared, and his eyes gradually became dark.

Three days later, Wang Ergou's body was sent back to Linchang Town. He would be hung on a wooden rack near the town for three days and then be hit and dealt with, and finally become the material for creating the corpses of the undead. I don't know if the undead warriors made of the corpses of the innate warriors will have more strength and potential than the corpses of ordinary humans and ferocious beasts.

The villagers of Linchang Town, when they saw Wang Ergou, the former bandit leader, also captured and killed, completely let go of their last concern. On that day, many townitors gathered together and held a bonfire party to celebrate the execution of Wang Ergou, the vicious bandit leader.

There are many villages and towns like Linchang Town that were revived during this period. During this period, the number of bandits and bully landlords was wiped out was more than 200,000. However, the troops sent by Guo Dafu to wipe out these guys were minimal. These mobs were indeed vulnerable in front of the regular army. It can be said that this major cleaning operation achieved very brilliant results.
