Chapter 97: Horse Bandit Village, Wang Family's Reinforcement?
The sky was gradually getting dark. Although Jiang Yang had not rested all day, he still led the people towards the west mountain step by step.
The torches were slowly lit, and the entire team looked like a long dragon from a distance.
Looking closer, although their faces were full of exhaustion and sleepiness, their steps were still firm.
On the way, a scout came to report, saying that when the black man captain came in with his army today, he killed all the nobles who could not be caught and those who were not reported.
Jiang Yang smiled slightly in his heart, this is a good thing. What can be done without letting fish slip through the net? Now, I have cleaned myself up.
Ask someone to report the information to Li You and ask him to make proper arrangements and calculate the fields as soon as possible.
It is estimated that the harvest this time is not small, not only something for nothing.
It was almost midnight, and the soles of his feet were almost worn out. Only then did Jiang Yang vaguely see some flames on the mountain in front of him, which looked like people.
As for this matter, the ten scouts sent out to inquire about Chen Zhiyong rushed over quickly.
"Report to your lord, Sir Chen is confronting the enemy."
"Confrontation?" Jiang Yang was a little puzzled. The horse bandits had been defeated, let alone only a few thousand people left. Even if the former elite rural warriors led by 10,000 people led by Chen Zhiyong could defeat them, why should there be a confrontation?
"Let's go!" Jiang Yang went up to see the situation without saying anything.
It was a tiring climb up the mountain, and the already sleepy country warriors walked for who knows how long before they arrived at the stronghold of the horse bandits.
Don't tell me, it's really a work of art.
The location for the horse bandit's cottage is very good. It is halfway up the back mountain. It is not high or low, but the location is very good. There is a huge flat land in front of it, and it covers a large area.
There was a big empty space behind it. Jiang Yang looked at it and realized that tens of thousands of people, let alone thousands of people, were more than enough here.
Moreover, these people also built a simple road in the back mountain.
Ma Dan's secret military base? It's really good. I declare this place to be mine!
Jiang Yang chuckled and then slowly walked forward. Don't tell me that there was really a confrontation.
Opposite the Xiangyong led by Chen Zhongyong was a group of dark people. In addition to the defeated horse bandits, there were two thousand people wearing elite armor. They had cold eyes and looked like they were not easy to mess with.
Jiang Yang walked up to Chen Zhiyong with a frown and asked, "What's going on?"
"It should be someone other than Wang Yuan. They asked us to hand over Wang Hongcai and Wang Shaoyuan, and withdraw from the village and forget about it." Chen Zhiyong responded with a frown.
I thought it would be a simple matter of cleaning up the defeated horse bandits, but it was simple. Chen Zhongyong led his men on a hasty march to chase the horse bandits and arrived here. Not only did they capture Wang Yuan, but they also captured the slow-running Wang Shaoyuan.
As long as the remaining horse bandits are successfully annihilated and they occupy the horse bandits' Dazhai to take stock of the finances, their work will be completed.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived, the horse bandits actually united with a group of elite armored soldiers to threaten him.
Chen Zhiyong was not sure about the identity of these armored soldiers and without Jiang Yang's order, naturally there was a stalemate here.
Jiang Yang looked back, and sure enough, in the middle of Xiangyong, Wang Yuanwai was lying there with a miserable face and covered with dust. Next to him, there was a middle-aged man who was similar to him. Although he had some white hair, he was sitting there.
There, it gives people a different momentum.
It's just that the black robe he's wearing looks familiar. Isn't this the same person he saw on the hillside when he killed the horse bandits?
Wang Shaoyuan? Interesting.
Jiang Yang turned his head and saw a man walking out of the military camp opposite, with two soldiers behind him holding torches.
He looked at Jiang Yang with contempt and said: "You are the one who can make trouble, right? Stop gossiping, let him go, and leave. We won't care about what happened before."
You don’t care about me? What a big statement!
Jiang Yang laughed and said, "Then I really want to thank you for your magnanimity. Who are you?"
"Who are we? You are not qualified to know. Just understand that we are people you cannot afford to offend." The visitor's tone was inexplicably arrogant and arrogant.
"It's really interesting. I, under the magistrate of Mi County, have sent people to arrest the horse bandits who caused the trouble, and successfully destroyed the horse bandits' stronghold! Wang Hongcai, who colluded with the horse bandits and attempted rebellion, was captured and brought to justice." Jiang Yang raised his hand.
The hand came and said: "Anyone who dares to obstruct will be killed without mercy!"
I dare to stand up to tens of thousands of regular imperial troops today, but how dare you threaten me with just a few thousand of you wearing tattered armor? Do you really think that I am a fool?
The visitor's expression changed and he said, "Do you really dare to be our enemy? You need to know!"
Jiang Yang had been sleepy for a day and was too lazy to listen to him, so he interrupted him directly and said: "Now! Get out of here right now! I can still save your life. Go back and tell your master that Xiami County is mine."
Place! Let his dog’s paws be cleaner in the future.”
Then he shouted: "Bring Wang Hongcai to me!"
Several sergeants escorted Wang Hongcai up. Jiang Yang looked at his embarrassed appearance and chuckled: "Exceptor Wang, I haven't seen you for a long time, how can you end up in such a situation?"
Wang Yuanwai snorted coldly and said: "There is nothing to say about success and defeat. I just hate myself for not getting rid of you the first time you rebelled."
"Regret?" Jiang Yang chuckled and said, "The most boring thing in the world is regret."
"My land today is what you will experience tomorrow. Don't you think you are acting like a villain now that you are adding insult to injury?" Wang Yuanwai snorted coldly.
"So what?" Jiang Yang would not be so provoked and said with a smile, "If these are your last words, that's the end of it."
He said loudly: "Wang Hongcai, a member of Xiami County, colluded with the horse bandits. Over the past few years, he robbed people of their money and food, killed people, attacked the government, and killed the imperial officials! Kill without mercy! Behead!"
"You!" Before Wang Yuanwai could finish his words, the soldier behind him raised his knife and dropped it, giving him a good blow.
Seeing Wang Yuanwai's head flying high and then falling down, Jiang Yang felt inexplicably at ease.
I can't sleep until you die.
"How dare you kill him." The leader of the soldiers said angrily with a look of disbelief on his face: "Do you know what mistake you made?"
Jiang Yang was too lazy to talk to him. If he didn't have any scruples, he would have dealt with him too.
"Either get out or die now." Jiang Yang looked at him coldly and said, "Wang Shaoyuan is a horse bandit. I will wait for my trial and order the verdict according to law."
"Okay, okay, Li You, please wait for me as the county magistrate of Mi County!" The leader was extremely angry, but he did not dare to fight directly with Jiang Yang.
There was no way he knew about Jiang Yang's armor, and secondly, Jiang Yang's current number of people was obviously more than suddenly. Huo Bing had to hand himself over here even if he didn't want to, and the gain outweighed the loss.
"Let's go." The leader snorted coldly and stared at Jiang Yang, as if he wanted to carve his face into his heart.
