The north of Heishan City is adjacent to Heishan, which is a famous peak in the Heshan Mountains. The entire mountain range includes Shannan Road, which runs from Mount Zhaoyao in the west to Mount Minio in the east.

Heishan City is close to the Heishan Mountains, and further down, there are Yaoguang City, Langya City, Wuling City, Yushan City, and Yiyi City, and then cross the Baijiang River to the west. There are Qicheng in Jiangxi, Qingshou City, and Baima City.

Fuyu City, Luwu City, Danxue City, Xiyu City, and Jingshan City.

To put it simply, it is a vertical line downward and a horizontal line to the left. There are six cities vertically and seven cities horizontally.

This is the sphere of influence of the entire Xingyuan Mansion. From Heishan City to the westernmost Jingshan City, the distance between cities ranges from tens of miles to less than a hundred miles. For example, Yaoguang City and Langya City, the two cities

The shortest distance is only thirty miles. From the city wall, you can see the outline of the opposite city. The farthest is Yiyi City and Qingshou City. They are separated by a Baijiang River, plus the water network that moves east and west.

I'm afraid it will be over a hundred miles.

Heishan City first raised the banner, and the new army was trained with 2,000 cavalry, 5,000 infantry, 3,000 reserve soldiers, a total of 10,000 people, and 30,000 civilians recruited from the six cities in Jiangdong, a total of 40,000, and external claims of 100,000.

It shocked the north and south for a while. Not to mention Xingyuan Mansion, it was considered a powerful force in the entire Shannan Road.

The soldiers were invincible and defeated Yaoguang City and Langya City without any blood. Wuling City acted as the caller, and its lord Gong Yuanlang was one of the only two cavalry captains. He opened the door directly to welcome the guests.

In addition, the Tuanlian New Army used the power of thunder to wipe out five or six old thieves who were called warlords but were actually bandits' dens. As for the Wubao, Walled City, and Zhuangzi they conquered along the way, they were countless.

.

Not to be outdone, the famous and wealthy families in Yushan City and Yiyi City had to die if their homes were confiscated, and rebelling would also lead to death, so they might as well just give it a try, so they used the money from selling off their property to hire several groups of big pirates from the south, and prepared to thwart them.

Once the edge of the army is weakened, then consider whether to abandon the city and flee.

Unexpectedly, the news leaked out, and Li Wei, one of the two cavalry captains, led 300 soldiers, bypassed Wuling City, galloped all day and night with one person and two horses, and attacked two thousand water pirates halfway across the river when they came ashore, winning a great victory.

The enemy troops beheaded nearly a thousand people, but Lord Xue, who was far away in Heishan City, was so happy that he directly gave him his own mount, a dragon-blooded horse. On the occasion of this battle, he beheaded General Li She, whose name resounded throughout Xingyuan Mansion.

In this battle, Li She took the heads of at least twenty water bandit leaders with one man and one halberd.

In a military tent on the edge of Baijiang River.

With a 'pop' sound, Gong Yuanlang smashed the wine bowl with a livid complexion. Several bloody wounds on his upper body also burst open due to anger. The bandages wrapped around his feet were stained red. It looked like he was seriously injured. Several soldiers

The cronies also looked ugly, and one of them even cursed angrily: "Our city lord is the cavalry commander, and his surname is Li blatantly disobeyed military orders and left such a mess. Our cavalry can attack the army and break the formation, but this water battle

Where is our job!"

No wonder the Gong family was angry. They, Wu Lingcheng, were the first to seek refuge with Lord Xue. In response, Marquis Xue Bao made him a cavalry general. This was naturally a reward for merit, but the people in the border army also tried their best to make him a cavalry commander.

The unknown Li She became a general of one hundred cavalry. After several battles, he was directly promoted to the position of colonel and became the deputy general of two thousand cavalry, clearly dividing the military power of Yuen Long from his palace.

What is even more irritating is that in the battle that made the other party famous, deploying private troops, ignoring military orders, bypassing Wuling City, and avoiding military spies were all violations of military taboos, but...

Lord Xue only believed in consequences, and even gave him his own horse, a dragon-blooded horse, as a gift to protect him.

In order to prevent the other party from getting ahead of him, he took the military order to cross the river. As a result, he was ambushed by the water bandits and was defeated. The cavalry lost two hundred. It can be said that his muscles and bones were damaged, and his prestige in the army was also damaged.

A big loss means stealing the chicken but losing the rice.

"What is the origin of that person named Li, and what is his relationship with Li Fuwei?"

Now all fools know that there must be someone behind Li She. Not only did Li Fuwei's five shopkeepers join him, but he also made a large sum of money and recruited a group of masters as personal guards. Even the equipment of the private soldiers belonged to the border army.

The armor is of the highest quality, the horse is also a horse from outside Guan, and dozens of men under his command are equipped with green swords, a Crow Nine Spear, and the shields are Taoist water and fire shields. He is so extravagant that even powerful men like the Gong family would envy him and drool.

This battle in the army is different from the life-and-death fight of warriors. No matter how good your boxing skills are, you can easily get killed. But if you have the support of strong soldiers behind you, it will be like the arrowhead of a sharp arrow, which can pierce the vital point.

"We have found out a lot of details. It is said that he is Li Fuwei's cousin. He is proficient in Li family palm and hook halberd skills. He is apprenticed to Chen Changxing, a famous martial arts master in Nanguo Prefecture. The Chen and Li families are family friends. They have been practicing martial arts and rarely show up.

, this time the Li family’s signature Li Fuwei fell, so Li She was promoted. It is said that this Li She’s talent is even worse than that of Li Fuwei.”

"Oh, you are so capable, why don't you avenge Li Fuwei? The revenge for killing your brother is easy to forget. He is a diligent dog."

A confidant spoke worriedly, but was stopped by Gong Yuanlang. He took a sip of wine and sneered: "Well, it was Li She who said that elite soldiers will become dull after long battles. Now that he has rested for several days, I want to see what he does.

To destroy this waterway, the sea pirates are much more ferocious than the water pirates."

"By the way," Gong Yuanlang touched his favorite gun 'Gonghu' with care. The body of this Taoist weapon had obvious knife marks. "Go get two bottles of good wine and ask Master Qi to repair it. As long as Master Qi

Xiu, I don’t worry about other people.”

…

The Gong family general wrapped his gun in brocade cloth and rode directly to the Yiyi City ten miles away. The walls of the Yiyi City were as good as those of Heishan City. They were tall and strong, and the guards on the walls were also elite;

The mountain city was simply expanded because of the large number of people and money, but this Yiyi City was purely a military fortress of the ancient country, with many famous families in the city.

Wuling City, Yushan City, Yiyi City, and Wuling City were even the acropolis of Yushan City back then. Later, when the ancient kingdom collapsed, Bian Town dispatched a small group of soldiers to garrison Wuling City, among whom were the ancestors of the Gong family.

Why were more than 2,000 water bandits who were good at fighting summoned at once, plus the cavalry of the two cities, which probably numbered 3,000 to 4,000? It was because the famous clans of the two cities were united in the same spirit, and they rebelled against each other, causing trouble.

There's such a big movement.

If the famous families in the two cities are really allowed to gain a foothold and consume the new army, the powerful powerful men from the seven cities in Jiangxi who previously submitted may have other ideas.

Therefore, Li She became famous in one battle. Except for the Gong family cavalry who complained a little, everyone else was convinced.

Because this battle is so important!

The Gong family members passed through the city gate and went directly to Huofang. Yiyicheng has the largest training center in Xingyuan Prefecture. It is a large trading market for ordinary weapons in Xingyuan Prefecture. Many water pirates have also come ashore to buy weapons.

As soon as we go back and forth, we become friends.

However, the manufacturing of Taoist weapons in Yiyi City was not good. In the past few years, the old craftsman who was proficient in the casting of two kinds of Taoist tools passed away, and Black Mountain City completely monopolized the local high-priced weapons trading market.

Sure enough, the door of the fire house was blocked by a group of fire chiefs, teams, and even a few brigade commanders.

It's troublesome, maybe it won't be my turn today, so I will grit my teeth and push through.

There are many blacksmiths in the army, and many experts have been forcibly recruited on the road. However, Taoist tools are much easier to use than ordinary ones. They can increase the combat power by 20 to 50%, but they are also more troublesome to repair, such as using medicine to treat diseases.

Same, you have to "make a prescription" specially. If the "prescription" is slightly wrong, the power of the Taoist weapon will be reduced.

This 'prescription' tests the craftsman's craftsmanship, and it is not an ordinary craftsman, at least one who can make Taoist utensils.

Among the large army, there are only ten swordsmen who can make Taoist tools, and half of them are old craftsmen over fifty years old. They are more than conservative, not innovative enough, and the probability of repairing the Taoist tools is not high.

Among these people, Master Qi is like a firefly in the dark night, shining brightly. So far, his success rate in repairing Taoist artifacts is actually a terrifying 100%!

What's even more frightening is that he can not only repair it, but also strengthen it to target the weaknesses of Taoist tools. The price of an ordinary Taoist tool can double once he changes hands.

This is the legendary ‘magic craftsman’!

Not only the soldiers whose Taoist weapons were damaged, but also those whose weapons were not damaged also wanted to strengthen them and tried every means to find connections.

The guy in this hand is the second life of a warrior. Who doesn’t want to save his life?

It's a pity that Master Qi, who is a master of craftsmanship, is also famous for being cold-faced and ruthless, and doesn't give face to anyone.

And he doesn't need to give it. As a master craftsman who is destined to be taken outside the customs, your kindness is of no use. Threatening? Master Qi can send a letter to the Marquis' desk. Can you try?

Fortunately, Master Qi is not completely unkind. There are ten quotas a day until all are used up.

And for this quota, not to mention the fire chief and team leader, the brigade commander had many appointments.

In normal times, Gong Yuanlang would have had some face, and no one would have said anything about taking up a quota. But now that he has been defeated, it is hard to say how much face he still has. Many hundreds of people will look at him with confused eyes.

Very weird.

The general did not go in directly as usual, but found a familiar person in the military and whispered: "Who will go in first?"

"Who else are there, the boxing master Zhao Yong, the black swordsman Wu San, and Tang Santang."

These are all new heroes in the army, and the general is even more worried.

Whether a martial artist's life is worth anything or not, when it comes to scoring points, if it is normal, the rich and powerful have controlled all the ascending channels, and no matter how powerful the boxing skills are, unless they fall into the trap and become bandits, and they are not close followers of the big shots, they can only make money by selling their lives; but like now,

As soon as the battle began, the warrior's life immediately became more valuable. Relying on fists to win wealth was no longer just a lie.

Boxing champion Zhao Yong, a rough guy from the countryside, is now the leader of the Pioneer Battalion, with fifty men working hard for him.

Black Swordsman Wu San, the leader of the Eighth Street Swordsmen, led thirty-five of his swordsmen to join the army. Originally he could only support his family by doing some underworld work, but now he is the brigade commander of the Hundred-Man Brigade.

Tang Santang is even more powerful. An idle man who is illiterate and has no fists and feet, he suddenly became the captain of the brave regiment, which is one of the most elite regiments in the new army. He is in charge of two hundred heavyweights.

Jia Bing, those who have been trying to please, befriend, or even talk about matchmaking these days have almost broken the threshold.
