Chapter 88

Fang Xuanling hurried into the backyard of the Lord's house and found Chu Tian, who was giving instructions for the construction plans of villages and towns.

"What's the matter with the commander?"

It is rare for Chu Tian to see Fang Xuanling so anxious. In the cold winter, the Lords should not want to fight.

"The water bandits looted Xiaoshi village under the jurisdiction of Yunlai town. There are 200 households in Xiaoshi village, and only less than 80 households survive. Yunlai town is in panic. The town gate and village gate are closed and the materials are not available. The construction will be greatly affected."

Fang Xuanling presented an urgent report to Chu Tian.

Chu Tian's face turned black when he heard the news.

The water bandits dare to destroy the village, which is a challenge to Xiazhen!

If 80 families did not escape quickly, maybe there would be no living in Xiaoshi village.

What's more, Chu Tiancai was not long after he became a Kaiyang County captain, and was severely slapped by the water bandits.

Because of the loss of a secondary village, Xiazhen's prosperity has dropped by several hundred points.

This is the key time for Xiazhen to attack the city.

"It's tolerable. Who can't? Call on Zhou Yafu, Hua Mulan and Liu Santao! Fuck him

Chu Tian thinks that he has a good temper, but this time he is also totally provoked.

Fang Xuanling did not persuade Chu Tian, because the vicious water bandits had affected the development of Xiazhen.

Two bronze level ordinary heroes who served as close soldiers went to the school yard to inform several generals to rectify their troops and horses.

In the teaching ground of Xiazhen, the three most loyal troops are displayed, and the battle flag of Xiazhen is displayed with the north wind.

At the forefront are Zhou Yafu, Hua Mulan and Liu Sandao.

At present, there are 200 light cavalry, 300 Xuzhou archers and 500 light infantry stationed in Xiazhen, totaling 1000.

Lingyan Town, Yunlai town and shangbi town each have one or two hundred professional soldiers. There is also a small water village controlled by Xia Town, and there are some soldiers.

"The water bandits have invaded our territory, burning, killing and looting. There are only 80 households left in 200 households in Xiaoshi village! Although it is a cold winter and you have worked hard, if you don't wipe out the water bandits, I don't know which village will be the next to be destroyed! "

"I have a basic principle. If a person offends me, I will be a prisoner! Those who provoke us in Xiazhen will be punished even if they are far away! "

Chu Tian scans the group of soldiers. Before they become professional soldiers, they are not necessarily the townsmen of Xiazhen, but may also be the villagers from the villages below Xiazhen.

Among them, there are villagers in Xiaoshi village who are gnashing their teeth about the destruction of their village.

At the instigation of Chu Tian, 1000 soldiers were filled with righteous indignation, and their morale broke through 90. They were eager to exterminate the water bandits immediately!

Fang Xuanling comes here in a cloak. If Chu Tian wants to lead his troops to fight against the water bandits, then he should join the army with him.

Chu Tian only served as commander-in-chief and did not direct the battle. He is no longer a mascot, but a tool man. He has an aura of the whole army - the soul of the Han Army (big), which can give 3% bonus to all attributes of the three forces. If he's on the battlefield.

Chu Tian follows Hua Mulan's cavalry. Cavalry are easy to escape when the battle is not good. The death of the Lord is no joke. As long as there is territory, he can pull out another army at any time.

Chu Tian left 100 archers and 200 light infantry to defend the city. Xia Town has rammed earth walls, so it is almost impossible for water bandits to capture the walls guarded by 300 professional soldiers and thousands of townspeople, not to mention the cold winter. If a basin of water goes down, the wall can be compared with solid ice.

Under the banner of Xiazhen, seven hundred Xiazhen soldiers set out for Xiaoshi village.

Zhou Yafu looked calm and followed a group of soldiers behind him.

Before sunset, Xiazhen's troops moved to Xiaoshi village.

Xiaoshi village is in a mess. The village gate is destroyed. Many wooden doors have traces of being kicked open or slashed by swords.

Yunlai town has sent a small team of soldiers to bury the bodies of villagers in Xiaoshi village in advance to prevent the outbreak of plague in the territory. Otherwise, a plague will come down and all rooms will be empty.

"Those water bandits are so cruel. They must not have enough food for the winter, so they come to rob our food."

The team of Yunlai town reported to Chu Tian with grief and indignation when they saw their Lord coming.

"They've done too much. I'll clean them up."

Half of the village was destroyed.

The development of Xiazhen is going well. It seems that we should take this water bandit to establish its reputation in Kaiyang County.

"Send out a light cavalry to track down the location of the water bandits and explore intelligence."

It is not only grain and forage, but also investigation that is very important. It is absolutely not mindless killing.

The power of the other side is not small. If you are not careful, you may roll over.

The next day, Chu Tian sent Hua Mulan and fifty cavalry with dry food to investigate.

Before waiting for the cavalry to return, Chu Tian moved troops to Yunlai town to supply food and grass.

The villagers of Yunlai town heard that the Lord led a large troop of soldiers and horses to help, and they welcomed each other with food and drink.

They pay taxes and grain to the Lord's house every year, in order to get the protection of the Lord's house in troubled times?"Fellow villagers, this time I lead troops to come here, and we will definitely bring the water bandits who attacked Xiaoshi village to justice!"

Chu Tian used this opportunity to rally the people's hearts, and the promised Yunlai Town People's support for the Lord's house was unprecedented, and the people's hearts soared.

"This is the lost weapon of the water bandits we found in Xiaoshi village. It's an excellent ring head Dao. It's of good quality."

The soldiers in Yunlai town presented the weapons used by the bandits.

Chu Tian picked up the ring head sword and weighed it. It turned out to be a silver weapon. Most of the soldiers in the Eastern Han Dynasty used the ring head Dao of the Han Dynasty.

This is just a water weapon from the ordinary soldier

"Ordinary water bandits can use silver level refined ring head Dao What do you think of, commander

Chu Tian looks at Fang Xuanling.

Fang Xuanling concluded as expected: "the bandits are not short of iron, and there is a good blacksmith. Or, it's a refined weapon they seized from the MI family fleet. "

"Either way, we can get a lot of excellent weapons by killing the water bandits."

Chu Tian is stationed in Yunlai town and checks the development of Yunlai town. The development direction of Yunlai town is mainly farmland, providing grain for the main town as much as possible.

At this time, Hua Mulan pursues all the way along the traces of horse's hooves left by the bandits.

The water bandits were obviously confident in themselves and did not deliberately hide their whereabouts.

On the Bank of the river 20 kilometers away from Xiaoshi village, Hua Mulan finally tracked down the water bandit's camp.

This is a village that faces the river and leans on the mountain. It is of a large scale, comparable to a first-class town. There are also a large number of residential buildings, economic buildings, barracks buildings, and more than a dozen wooden arrow towers. It is much stronger than the water bandits that were exterminated by Xiazhen before.

"The domain of other lords?"

Hua Mulan and her cavalry are stunned.

I have never seen such water bandits. There are economic buildings in the camp

"General, there is a water bandit approaching from the West."

Hua Mulan looks to the West. As expected, there is a small group of water bandits on the way back from plundering other villages and towns. The number of them is about 30. Behind them are a group of captured village women.

Hua Mulan in the eyes has a fierce color: "capture them, catch alive, ask for information!"
