Chapter 250: The foot of the dead tree was shattered at the foot of the mountain, and the door god was mourned, and the tiger on the mountain was killed by an arrow.
Kushu Mountain is located in Guan County, east of Daming Mansion, not far from Yanggu County, and Qinghe County is right next door to Yanggu County.
The great commander of the village here is named Bao Xu, and is known as the Sangmenshen in the world.
Because this person's only hobby is killing people, he is considered a murderer in the local area who can stop children from crying at night.
Li Yunze chose to beat him first, naturally because this person likes to rob homes and kill everywhere, so he is a scourge that must be eliminated.
He just took several hundred cavalry with him, leaving Yang Zhi to look after the house and headed straight for Kushu Mountain.
The last time I went to the Western Army to gain military merit, the biggest gain was of course not the promotion of military rank due to military exploits, but the fact that after the war, I spent money from the Western Army to acquire a large number of horses.
The Song Dynasty did not have large-scale horse farms, so it was naturally impossible to build powerful cavalry similar to the cavalry of the Han and Tang Dynasties.
The Song Dynasty, which claims to have a higher battlefield victory rate than the Tang Dynasty, actually achieved its victory rate on its own territory. Due to the lack of cavalry, it was unable to pursue and encircle, and usually could only defeat and defeat the enemy.
Unlike the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty, most of the wars were fought within the enemy's territory. If they won, they could pursue, encircle and annihilate them, and if they lost, they could retreat calmly.
Looking at the tiger on the ground, and then at Li Yunze and others riding horses not far away, the leader of the hunter came out and said, "Hero, this tiger is what we are hunting."
Facing the old, weak, sick and disabled bandits, Li Yunze did not let them go.
Training cavalry is a long-term process. The hundreds of men and horses he has brought now are not so much cavalry as horse-mounted infantry, that is, dragoons.
After walking around in the forest for a while, a tiger roar suddenly came from the distance.
Bao Xu, the mourning sect god who had not come down the mountain for some time, led hundreds of his men down the mountain in great force that day and ran for dozens of miles to find a village.
Dengyun Mountain is just a small village, and its leaders are two uncles and nephews, Chulinlong Zouyuan and One-horned Dragon Zourun.
Young Jie Bao couldn't help but asked in detail, "May I ask the general, how much does it cost to settle down?"
On this day, he took a few followers and rode lightly on horseback to inquire about the military situation.
The watermelon was broken.
In fact, this is a secret exchange concept, and the real combat effectiveness of the two sides is completely incomparable.
"My general is the general of Dongping Prefecture's grain-forbidden army!" The entourage proudly announced, "We are waiting for the forbidden army to come here to suppress the bandits. Are you trying to collide with the official army?"
"General's sharpshooting!"
He has seen too many such things. Many bad people have simply grown older, but the nature of the bad people has not changed at all.
Then it will be easy and simple to clean the old nest on the dead tree mountain.
Li Yunze raised his leg and stepped heavily on his head.
Li Yunze was not short of money, so he naturally took advantage of the withdrawal of troops to make purchases.
Then there are the miners and hunters, who are all strong and tough people.
He used a strong bow and armor-piercing heavy arrows, and he had no problem shooting through the tiger's forehead.
The leading hunter went out to salute, "It turns out that the living Veda is in front of you, disrespectful, disrespectful. I will leave right away."
In ancient times, when recruiting troops, the quality of the troops was very important.
After Li Yunze came to Dengzhou with hundreds of dragon cavalry, he did not rush up and start fighting. Instead, he set up a military stronghold and repaired it for a few days.
The tiger, whose head was pierced by a sharp arrow, immediately fell to the ground, its limbs fluttered for a while and then stopped moving.
When he heard this nickname, Li Yunze also turned dark.
The young and strong gangsters were all taken down the mountain by Bao Xu to commit evil. The remaining old, weak, sick and disabled were no match for the elite soldiers.
Both of them were wearing animal skins, holding some steel forks, and carrying bows and arrows on their backs. They were both majestic and tall, with a pair of big feet.
Moreover, Kushu Mountain is just an ordinary hill, and its danger level cannot be compared with Shaohua Mountain and other places.
Shaking the spear, he threw Bao Xu, who was still alive, to the ground.
The prisoners tremblingly dug a big hole, and then they were all driven down.
Not only that, nearby villages were also affected and began to refuse to pay property fees.
The reason is very simple. What kills tigers is not the light arrows used in hunting bows, but the armor-piercing heavy arrows specially made by the military to break armor.
Li Yunze smiled and said, "I heard that there are two brothers from the Jie family here in Dengzhou who are highly skilled in martial arts. Have you ever met each other?"
He likes to kill people, but he can't kill people wherever he goes.
Li Yunze got off his horse and walked up to the two brothers to look at them.
The two brothers are not too young, but they still have not been able to marry because of their poverty.
Out of the traditional virtue of respecting the old and loving the young, Li Yunze found a place with a pretty good view on the Dead Tree Mountain and sent the old bandits there, thus becoming one with the Dead Tree Mountain.
The reason why the village was massacred was because the village had not paid the property fee, and the minions he sent to ask for the property fee were arrested and sent to the government.
Faced with such a huge sum of money, the hunters will naturally compete for it.
He was shocked and said, "You idiots actually reported to the officials to ambush me?!"
After solving Kushu Mountain, Li Yunze led the team eastward, heading straight for Dengyun Mountain in Dengzhou.
After several days of continuous interrogation, the bandits' psychological defenses quickly collapsed, and everyone was confessed.
'puff!'
Li Yunze, who has countless experiences, cannot be soft-hearted and let the bad guys go just because they are getting older.
There were too many officers and soldiers, and they were also cavalry. Bao Xu immediately turned around and ran towards his horse.
All the hunters suddenly looked happy.
As expected, all the people on the mountain are old bandits, all of them are thieves with blood debts and committed all kinds of evil.
There was a heavy sound of horse hooves on the road outside the village. Bao Xu subconsciously turned his head and looked over, but he was shocked to see a large group of officers and soldiers approaching on horseback.
"There's someone." Li Yunze looked towards the direction the tiger was coming from. A group of hunters with bows and forks chased after the tiger and surrounded it.
The hunters then took a serious look at the sharp arrow stuck in the tiger's forehead, and were naturally startled by this sight.
He wasn't originally a martial artist, but since he was given this nickname, people would call him that wherever he went.
Li Yunze, who was holding a spear, pierced Bao Xu's chest with one shot. He used his majestic strength to pierce and pick him up, and then stopped after galloping for more than a hundred steps.
Orion miners are of higher quality than those peasant soldiers who put down their hoes.
"A hero from Liangshan?" Li Yunze casually broke the broad sword left by Bao Xu and kept it aside. Li Yunze spat "Bah!"
As soon as he got on his horse, a sharp arrow whizzed out, knocking his horse to the ground.
The leader of the Orions was slightly startled, and then looked at a companion beside him who was also holding a steel fork. "General, this is Jie Zhen, also known as the Two-Headed Snake. This is my younger brother Jie Bao, also known as the Two-tailed Scorpion."
Steadying his horse, Li Yunze drew his bow and shot an arrow directly, accurately hitting the word "王" on the tiger's forehead.
On the way, the main force of the Kushu Mountain bandits was accidentally wiped out, and even the leader of the village, Bao Xu, was shot in the head by Li Yunze.
There are only a hundred or so people under his command. It can be said that it is a copycat, let alone a small gang.
"Ah."
If that were the case, he would have been wiped out long ago.
After defeating the resistance of the villagers and local archers, Bao Xu laughed loudly and waved his broadsword, "Slaughter this village!"
The first choice is naturally a good family son who has wealth and can prepare his own weapons and horses. This must be at least a small landowner's family that can afford it.
Being an Orion is very hard, and it would be better if you could join the Forbidden Army and get food and salary.
There are naturally many tigers, and as a mountain king, it is not unusual to see tigers on Dengyun Mountain.
Continuous interrogations, continuous reports and revelations.
Of course Bao Xu couldn't bear this kind of thing, so he wanted to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys.
Bao Xu struggled to get up. Before he could take a breath, a fast horse roared past him.
These days, everything outside the towns and villages is open to wilderness, and there are countless wild animals of all kinds.
When the two sides were noisy, the impatient Li Yunze simply waved his hands, "Open your eyes and look at that arrow!"
Since ancient times, the people have not fought with the officials. When facing the regular army, the hunters really backed down.
Li Yunze smiled and said nothing, and his followers stepped forward and shouted, "Are you blind? Didn't you see that it was the tiger we shot!"
In the Song Dynasty, which lacked land to raise horses, the most important way to obtain horses was through exchange and purchase between Guanzhong and Qingtang, Xixia and other places.
Seeing that many villagers had been massacred, Li Yunze was too lazy to conduct any interrogations and directly told them, "Let them dig holes!"
They did everything a robber should do, including robbing homes, gambling, and collecting property fees.
He broke into the village brandishing a broad sword, kicked open the door with a scream, and tried to go in and kill him.
"Reply to the general." The hunter wearing animal skins immediately responded, "I dare not say that the arrows are all fired, but I am willing to hunt any prey anywhere in Dengyun Mountain."
"Wait a minute." Li Yunze stopped a group of hunters, "You are all hunters, how are your bow and arrow skills?"
You don't make much money as a hunter because you don't get high-value prey like tigers every day.
Tiger skin is very valuable these days, and tiger bones, tiger penis, etc. are also valuable medicinal materials that can be used as medicine and are worth a lot of money.
"Where did it come from?" Bao Xu, vomiting blood at the mouth, looked at Li Yunze who was walking beside him, and struggled to ask who it was.
Li Yunze didn't want to talk to him, but he never thought that the tiger would come straight towards them.
"Ten guan of settlement allowance for each person." Li Yunze kicked the tiger next to him and pointed, "I'll give this to you too."
Seeing the colorful figures in the distance shuttle through the mountains and forests, constantly approaching them, the horses of Li Yunze and others were already restless.
It's really, really unpleasant.
The battle did not last long. The minions brought by Bao Xu were either killed or arrested while kneeling down to beg for mercy.
After filling it in and then trampling it with horses, the harvest of this land will definitely be good next year.
The followers immediately cheered.
"Hunting in the mountains is not easy." Li Yunze nodded with satisfaction. "Do you want to join the Forbidden Army and receive food and salary? The general's treatment is generous. Not only the salary is sufficient, but also the settlement allowance is sufficient."
The hunters were overjoyed and expressed their willingness to follow the general.
In the midst of the joyful atmosphere, a group of pedestrians dressed as servants came down the mountain, surrounded by a young man dressed as a young man who came forward.
After seeing the tiger on the ground, everyone's faces showed joy.
The leader stepped forward and shouted, "This is the forest in the backyard of my Mao family. Please leave as soon as possible!"
