Heifeng Village, which was not small in size, fell into an eerie silence.
The four villagers who followed Tang Zhen walked around from the side of the cliff and walked into Heifeng Village.
Although he held a weapon in his hand and wore animal skin armor on his body, his legs still felt a little weak.
After all, these men and women in front of me are all heinous bandits, and they show no mercy when killing people.
When this group of people is mentioned on weekdays, the villagers always look in fear and avoid them.
Never in my dreams did I expect that one day, I would walk into the Black Wind Bandit's lair in such a bold manner.
Looking at these Black Wind bandits, they were obviously a hundred times more numerous, but they were still kneeling on the ground, with anger and fear in their eyes.
The villagers are all too familiar with this look of fear.
It was also because of this look that the villagers became bolder. Knowing that Tang Zhen was here to frighten him, the Black Wind Bandit did not dare to touch him at all.
They tied up the bandits they encountered with the ropes they carried, and then strung them together with a rope.
The purpose of this is to prevent someone from escaping.
During this period, when some bandits were struggling, the villagers dared to stare and wave the hundred-smelted steel knives in their hands.
Having seen the power of rifles, most bandits are very honest, but there are also some who are unwilling to do so.
While tying up a bandit, the bandit suddenly jumped up and was about to take the villagers hostage.
The bandit who was kneeling next to him saw this and acted at the same time, charging at several villagers fiercely.
These bandits thought that as long as they controlled a few villagers, they would have the capital to negotiate with Tang Zhen.
The plan was good, but it was a pity that he chose the wrong opponent and underestimated Tang Zhen's marksmanship and reactions.
He stood on the cliff and had a clear view of the village below, and he also saw the behavior of the bandits.
He was always observing, guarding against dangerous targets, and ensuring that the actions of several villagers went smoothly.
These rising bandits had been discovered by Tang Zhen a long time ago, and he knew that they had no good intentions.
Just as the opponent took action, Tang Zhen's attack followed closely.
Accompanied by a series of gunshots, several bandits fell to the ground one after another, with expressions of despair and unwillingness on their faces.
Tang Zhen's speed was too fast, beyond imagination. They were no match at all.
"Rogue!"
Several villagers came to their senses, looked at the bandits in shock and anger, and waved the steel knives in their hands without hesitation.
He aimed at the bandit's head and struck him viciously.
The villagers were not polite at all to these bandits who had malicious intentions and wanted to kill them.
He raised the knife and dropped it, and blood spurted out.
When the bandits next to them saw this, their eyes suddenly widened, with shame, anger and sadness in their eyes, but no one dared to stand up and resist.
The lingering thoughts in my mind have already received a clear answer: Resistance is indeed useless.
Since he can't defeat him and wants to survive, he can only obey his orders.
Besides, being in their own lair, the bandits were also wary, worried that the fighting would affect their wives, children, and children.
If it were another place, they might not be so obedient and would probably continue to try to fight Tang Zhen.
With Tang Zhen's force deterred, the bandits became more honest, and the courage of several villagers also began to gradually increase.
If there are bandits who don't cooperate, they really dare to scold them loudly and at the same time swing their swords in a chopping gesture.
Obviously he knew very well that with Tang Zhen's intimidation, these bandits could not hurt him.
The courage of the general's soldiers, if Tang Zhen is timid and cautious, the soldiers under his command will also be timid.
There were hundreds of people in Heifeng Village, and it took half a day to tie them up, leaving several villagers panting from exhaustion.
Tang Zhen was like a flying bird, flying down from the cliff. His agility and agility made the bandits secretly surprised.
They originally thought that Tang Zhen only relied on the power of weapons, but now it seems that this is not the case.
Close combat methods are likely to be even more powerful.
Carrying a gun and entering the Black Wind Village, Tang Zhen walked to a house and shouted coldly inside: "Get out of those people inside, or I will set the house on fire."
Hearing Tang Zhen's shouting, one of the bandits showed a hint of nervousness, but hesitantly did not speak.
After waiting for a full minute, no one came out.
Tang Zhen's face turned cold, he walked to the door, picked up a gun and fired, and then he heard screams.
Soon Tang Zhen walked out of the house, looked at the bandits around him, and issued another warning: "I'll give you one last chance, don't hide anymore, otherwise once I catch him, I will execute him on the spot!"
Some hesitant bandits did not dare to hesitate any longer and called out to their family members and companions who were hiding.
Soon, some women, young and old, and bandits with weapons in their hands emerged from the house.
The current situation is enough to prove that resistance is meaningless and will only increase more casualties.
Now that the situation is over, surrender is the only option.
Bandits will also assess the situation and will not blindly resist to the end. That would just be asking for death.
Tang Zhen treated children, old and young alike, equally and tied one hand with a rope.
As family members of bandits, they are naturally full of thieves. Once they see an opportunity, they will definitely launch a counterattack without hesitation.
If you don't kill them, you are kind enough and there is no need to give them excessive preferential treatment.
Tang Zhen personally went out to search Heifeng Village and found some hidden guys.
The next step is to interrogate and raid Heifeng Village to find the wealth hidden by these bandits.
In the cave under the cliff, I found a box containing money, but there was only less than three thousand taels of silver.
Tang Zhen was very dissatisfied with such a small amount.
Given the size of Heifeng Village, it has always been doing business without capital, so it is absolutely impossible to only have these savings.
After selecting a few small bosses, Tang Zhen continued to interrogate them, and finally found the money secretly hidden by the first boss, second boss and others.
The total amount was seven to eight thousand taels, which was enough to meet Tang Zhen's expectations.
Bandits also need to eat and drink, and part of the money they robbed needs to be used to buy food.
As long as there is money to be made, there will always be people willing to take risks and sell food and weapons to these bandits.
After getting what he wanted, Tang Zhen was ready to return to Loucheng.
He selected some bandits who were responsible for carrying money and grain, leading the cattle, horses, pigs and sheep in the village, and walked down the mountain in a long queue.
Tang Zhen was not interested in the other items in the village at all, including the swords, bows and crossbows that were also thrown away.
Since there are better choices, Tang Zhen will definitely not want these rags. To fight with such weapons is to be irresponsible for his own life.
Before Tang Zhen left, he casually set a fire and burned the den of thieves to ashes.
Leaving this stronghold behind would likely attract other wandering bandits, which would cause disaster over time.
Seeing this scene, the bandits felt extremely sad, but they had no choice but to do anything.
Tang Zhen used his own power to conquer the entire Black Wind Village, and they had completely lost the courage to resist.
Nowadays, they are like cattle and sheep, driven by wanton slavery, and may even be massacred at any time.
At this moment, the bandits finally realized the helplessness and despair that they usually inflicted on others, but now it all fell on themselves.
When they came to the place where the bullock cart was parked, they put the money and grain on the cart and the team continued to move forward.
When we walked out of Heifeng Mountain Pass, we happened to encounter a caravan, totaling less than a hundred people.
When they saw Tang Zhen and his group, the caravan members immediately became nervous and thought they had been robbed by Black Wind Bandits.
They travel here frequently and are no strangers to the Black Wind Bandits, and have even paid tolls several times.
The guards following the caravan secretly drew their weapons and prepared for battle.
But when I got closer, I realized that the situation was completely different from what I imagined. There were indeed many Black Wind bandits here, but they had all had their hands tied.
Such an abnormal scene was truly astonishing, and it also made the caravan realize something.
The Black Wind bandits entrenched here had obviously suffered a disaster, and even their family members were escorted down the mountain together.
Looking at Tang Zhen's group, there were less than ten people in total, and I was even more shocked.
