”To tell you the truth, Lord Commander only has around three hundred servants that I have truly trained with. The other five thousand odd villagers are all farmers and hunters who have been gathered at the last minute. However, they have also participated in many battles and were quite brave and fierce. ” Zhang Fu seemed to be very satisfied with his subordinate's bravery, and said to Taishi Ci proudly.
”Hehe …” ”That's good, that's good.” Taishi Ci looked at the brave men behind Zhang Fu, and laughed unintentionally. In fact, Taishi Ci, who grew up in plain zone, did not understand. Although the villagers' equipment was simple and crude, they were indeed ferocious, their battle strength was not one bit weaker than Army of Montenegro.
”Milords, please!” Seeing that Taishi Ci had agreed, Zhang Fu immediately invited them into the villa. The mountain people lined up in two rows, their eyes full of respect and respect, looking at the soldiers of the cavalry of Youzhou with eagerness. To the vast majority of the villagers, this was the first time he had seen the official army of the imperial government.
On the way back to Zhang Fu's Villa, Zhang Fu introduced the situation of the Army of Montenegro s in this area to Taishi Ci and the Generals. There were mainly Chen Lin s, Yellow Dragon s, Liu Shi, Luo Shi, Li Damu, Yu Digen and a few other Army of Montenegro s, the smallest was around ten thousand or twenty thousand, the largest was around thirty to forty thousand, which totaled to over a hundred thousand people that were active in the vicinity of Oze County.
Different from the previous xanthopanax, the Army of Montenegro in this area did not occupy any cities or County City s, instead, they were stationed in the mountains. The purpose of coming out of the mountain was to rob. He would plunder food, property, cattle, horses, and so on. After that, he would return to the village. Rather than saying they were Army of Montenegro, it would be more accurate to say that they were bandits.
Taishi Ci knew that he couldn't stay here any longer, and was prepared to give the Army of Montenegro here a surprise attack. In order to not let the Army of Montenegro discover his group, Taishi Ci took advantage of the dark night to enter Zhang Fu's Villa. He hid several thousand of his cavalry inside Zhang Fu's Villa and sealed up his surroundings.
Zhang Fu was really friendly towards the cavalry of Youzhou. That night, not only did he get a large amount of medicinal herbs for the wounded soldiers to heal, he even prepared sufficient pastries for them to feast on. He had even invited Taishi Ci to attend his family dinner, but Taishi Ci had actually rejected it in the name of military affairs. Who would have thought that Zhang Fu would actually send the banquet to the army camp for the Generals to enjoy.
On the morning of the second day, just as Yang Lin and the other soldiers were training, Zhang Fu sent his servant to inform Taishi Ci that Army of Montenegro Leader Yu Digen had brought over ten thousand Army of Montenegro s down the mountain again.
”Let's go destroy them.” With Yang Lin's order, Taishi Ci quickly gathered the cavalry. There were only around ten thousand Army of Montenegro s, he had Zhang Fu's village men follow behind them, the rest of the cavalry soldiers followed Zhang Fu's servants, and rushed over to the wild boar ditch.
When Taishi Ci and the others reached Wild Boar Valley, Yu Digen had just finished looting a few villages and was about to return to his village. They returned with a great load, with more than a hundred large carriages packed to the brim.
”Kill …”
Taishi Ci was already burning with anger, but when he saw that these fellows even dared to snatch girls, he became even more furious. His eyes immediately burned with passion, his handsome face revealed a sinister look, and hatred rose to the skies.
This time, it was Taishi Ci's turn to display his might. Ever since he joined the cavalry of Youzhou, he had not had a chance to show off his strength. With Yang Lin commanding the battle today, the task of charging in and fighting down the enemy forces was given to him.
”Brothers, kill …” Taishi Ci had long since seen Yu Digen. He grabbed his long knife and rushed forward. Just how many cavalrymen had suddenly rushed out? Yu Digen was shocked and could not help but shiver in fear.
However, Yu Digen didn't have time to think, as Taishi Ci pounced on him. Yu Digen was also big and tall, waving a long knife in the air to welcome him. Taishi Ci smashed horizontally at his big blade, causing his big blade to fly away in an instant. Turning his hand, the sharp blade edge pierced Yu Digen's heart, causing it to turn cold.
”Kill …”
Following Yang Lin's wild roar, more than seven thousand sharp blades shot into the sky. Over ten thousand Army of Montenegro s, under the charge of over seven thousand cavalrymen, suffered thirty percent of casualties. Before Taishi Ci and the rest could turn around, the Army of Montenegro soldiers s threw down their looted rations and women and ran.
”Go back.”
Taishi Ci was not in the mood to waste time with these Army of Montenegro, he just wanted to quickly kill them all. Taishi Ci, who had a strong sense of justice, had to pick and pick even if he wanted to capture prisoners. It was understandable for you to rob food and grass, but if you were to rob women, you should be guilty of a thousand deaths.
This time, the riders were chasing after and killing the Army of Montenegro. Taishi Ci's men were all veterans of battle, this time they were using these Army of Montenegro soldiers s to practice their blade skills. The pitiful Army of Montenegro soldiers s continued to fall under the long knife s of the cavalrymen. In the end, not even five thousand of them were left to escape back to the mountains.
