The battle was soon over, and with Zhou Dazhu, Wei Hong, and Liu Zhong leading all the sword and shield soldiers and pikemen in the pursuit, and then quartz riding horses to pursue those routers who fled far away, not a single rout escaped in the end.

In the end, except for one survivor, the rest of the rout soldiers were all killed, and Li Zixiao had already given the order before he went out to fight.

The one who remained was the officer from the previous group of routs, and as he was escaping, he was stopped by Quartz on horseback, knocked unconscious with a stick, and was immediately captured.

When he saw Li Zixiao, a group of vicious bandits, surrounding him, the officer was even more frightened.

The officer didn't care about the pain on his body, struggled to get up and kowtowed to Li Zixiao and the others, banging, knocking so loudly, and in a blink of an eye, blood came out of his head, and his face was all over his face.

"Ladies and gentlemen, all heroes. Spare your life! Spare your life! The little one will give you all the money, and give it to you, and I will ask you to spare the life of the little dog. ”

The officer begged like crazy, and crawled forward on his knees, trying to hug one of Li Zixiao's legs.

Seeing the officer crawling to his feet, Li Zixiao kicked over, hit this guy in the face, kicked this guy upside down and flew out, let out a scream like killing a pig, and spit out a mouthful of blood when he landed.

The blood spit out by the officer also contained two front teeth, and even the upper lip was kicked open, and blood flowed all over his face, making it difficult for him to speak.

Li Zixiao's kick was extremely heavy, venting the anger in his heart, and the officer was also blinded by this kick, lying on the ground and screaming for a long time.

"Spare your life"

Although this guy was kicked and dizzy, he didn't forget to beg for mercy, but when he begged for mercy, his speech became a little leaky, and blood gushed out from his mouth.

Li Zixiao and a group of subordinates surrounded him, all staring at the officer viciously, their eyes flashing with anger.

"Big boss, why do you keep this thing, just slaughter it." Zhou Dazhu looked at the officer lying on the ground begging for mercy and said in disgust.

"I have something to ask him."

Li Zixiao said, walked up to the officer, squatted down, and patted his cheek with the swaying waist knife in his hand, so frightened that the officer quickly knelt in front of Li Zixiao and continued to kowtow and beg for mercy.

"Tell me your name, your position, why you're here? Why massacre these villagers? Otherwise, I'll hand you over to the men behind me, and let them ask you. ”

Li Zixiao looked at the officer in front of him with a look of disgust, and asked a series of questions in a cold voice.

"Yes, yes, I said, please don't kill me. My name is Lu Dahe, and I am a small flag officer of Suiyang Guard, and last month a group of thieves appeared near Suiyang, no, it was a righteous army.

We were responsible for leading the team, Ding Qianzong, after we found the location of the rebel army, we fought several battles with it, all of them won a big victory, and we pursued all the way.

But I didn't expect that yesterday, we would be ambushed by this rebel army at Hanjia Daokou, our team was scattered, and our group also flowed here.

Thinking that this time I didn't catch any oil and water, and even my life was almost gone, it was really a big loss, so we found this small village without walls to relax, so we ......"

In the end, Lu Dahe's voice became smaller and smaller, and he even lowered his head, not daring to look at Li Zixiao's eyes full of anger.

"I see, it turned out to be the encirclement and suppression of the rebels, as long as it didn't come to encircle and suppress us、。。"

After listening to Lu Dahe's words, Li Zixiao finally understood why such a rout appeared at the foot of Mangdang Mountain.

Li Zixiao was worried at first that the government had sent officers and soldiers to encircle and suppress them, so he left a living mouth to figure out what was going on.

"It seems that only those large-scale rebels will attract the attention of the government and send troops to encircle and suppress, a small group of bandits like us, the government has no energy to take care of us for the time being, it seems that my worries are superfluous."

Li Zixiao muttered to himself in his heart, and at the same time secretly glad that the officials and soldiers did not come for them this time.

"Good man, I said everything you want me to say, absolutely not lying, can you bypass me, I will give you all the silver on my body, please spare my little life."

Lu Dahe looked at Li Zixiao expectantly, hoping that after he honestly confessed, he could save his own life.

"Look around, what a village, and now turn you brutes into hell on earth. Look at the corpses of these innocent villagers lying around you, what they are guilty of to make you so brutally killed.

Treat your own compatriots, you can be so cruel, **** women, it is even more animal behavior, you let me spare you, you ask these innocent villagers who were brutally killed by you just now, can they agree? ”

Li Zixiao pulled Lu Dahe's collar, pulled him up, pointed to several smoking and burning houses in the village, and the corpses of the villagers lying around, his face was bulging, and he yelled at him.

In the end, Li Zixiao let go of Lu Dahe's collar, turned to Zhou Dazhu and Liu Chong and said, "He will hand it over to you, for the sake of him telling us the information honestly, give him a pain." ”

"Don't worry, this kind of thing will be handled by us."

Zhou Dazhu replied, then looked at Lu Dahe behind him, with a cruel smile on his face, and then the two of them clenched their fists and walked towards Lu Dahe behind them.

"Don't, don't kill me, please spare me."

Lu Dahe looked at Zhou Dazhu and Liu Chong, who were walking towards him step by step, his legs kept kicking back, with a look of fear on his face, and he was still begging for mercy in his mouth.

"Ah......h

Li Zixiao didn't go far before he heard a miserable scream from Lu Dahe behind him, and then he didn't move at all, and it seemed that he was solved by Zhou Dazhu and them.

"Big boss, find some survivors in the village." At this time, Dong Zhuang walked quickly to Li Zixiao and whispered to him.

"Oh? There are still survivors in the village, how did they survive? Li Zixiao asked suspiciously.

He didn't believe that those routs just now would show mercy to the people in the village, just look at the corpses of the people lying everywhere in the village, this group of routs didn't even let go of children, how could they let go of others?

"Hey, don't mention it, big boss. The survivors were all hidden in a cellar and were not found by the routs, so they narrowly escaped.

And, don't you know, there aren't many women and children among these survivors, most of them are men, and I'm really ashamed of them.

Outside, their wives, children, and parents were brutally killed, and these people were able to hide in the cellar and dare not come out to resist, which is really sad for them. ”

When Dong Zhuang led Li Zixiao into the village, he saw some village residents crawling out of a cellar one after another, and the hellish situation outside made them turn pale with fright.

When the rescued villagers saw the bodies of their relatives lying on the streets, they began to cry loudly, and some of them threw themselves on the corpses of the slain people and wept bitterly.

With a face full of sorrow, Li Zixiao silently looked at these survivors of the Wangjiabao who were crying bitterly, with a trace of disdain and helplessness in his eyes.

They were all men, but when they faced not many routs, they didn't even have the courage to resist except hiding in the cellar.

Seeing their families and villagers being slaughtered by these bandits, and watching their wives and daughters being ruined by these beasts, they didn't dare to rush out and fight these routs?

Why is that, and is death so terrible? Don't they have a little blood?

"The big boss, it just so happens that these people have lost their homes, do you want us to let them join our cottage, now our cottage is not just short of people!"

Dong Zhuang suggested to Li Zixiao next to him.

"No, there is a shortage of people in the cottage, and I won't take any of these people. They lack blood, they don't even dare to fight the enemy, what's the use of asking them! ”

Li Zixiao really looked down on this group of men, and he didn't plan to let these people follow them to join the cottage.

"Quickly clean up the battlefield, we're going back to the cottage."

Li Zixiao took his subordinates to clean up the battlefield briefly, and stripped these routs of the army, and gathered together the cotton armor, weapons, and things that could be collected.

I have to say that the ability of these routs to rob money and grain is really not blown, but all the people's homes that have been swept by them will no longer be able to find half a penny of food.

All the money and grain they looted were piled up in the open space at the head of Wangjiabao Village, and Li Zixiao directly ordered Zhou Dazhu to bring the money and grain back to the cottage.

Li Zixiao is not so great that he will return such a large amount of money and grain to the surviving villagers in the village, they are benevolent enough to avenge the people of the village, these money and food are what they snatched back from the defeated soldiers, that is theirs.

At this time, Li Zixiao walked more than a dozen steps away, next to Zhao Heitie's corpse, and there was a long arrow stuck in the back of Zhao Heitie's corpse.

"Hey! Dong Zhuang, find a few people to bury Zhao Heitie's body, he has already paid the price of his life for the mistakes he committed.

It's also a brother, and when a person dies, he should always be buried in the ground! Don't let his corpse be eaten by wild dogs in the wilderness. ”

Li Zixiao looked at Zhao Heitie's corpse, sighed, and said to Dong Zhuang, who was beside him.

"Yes, big boss." Dong Zuo responded, and ran out to greet a few people, preparing to dig a pit and bury Zhao Heitie.

People can be ruthless, Zhao Heitie still followed Li Zixiao, not to mention that he was not the kind of cold-blooded person in the first place, at this time he really felt sorry for Zhao Heitie's death.

After all, Zhao Heitie has been with him for so long, and Li Zixiao can't bear to treat him like this!

But Zhao Heitie's mistake this time was too great, and in that case just now, in order to deter others, he had to do it.

At this time, Zhou Dazhu and the others had already sorted out all the money and food, and they also walked up to Li Zixiao one by one, looking at Dong Zhuang's digging a pit for Zhao Heitie, looking at Zhao Heitie's corpse, no one said anything.

But at this time, the awe of Li Zixiao in everyone's hearts is deeper, they know that they are not a good boss, but once they really violate his rules, they will really not be merciful!

Zhao Heitie's mistake this time was too big, he retreated from the battle and died without complaining, and at the same time, these people also secretly warned themselves in their hearts.

In the future, you can't say anything about this Zhao Heitie, absolutely obey the orders of the big boss, and the orders of the big boss cannot be violated!

Zhao Heitie's death was undoubtedly a strong shock to everyone, making these people more aware that they had to listen to Li Zixiao here.

"Alright, let's go. Grab our loot, it's time to head back to the cottage. ”

Li Zixiao watched Dong Xiang and the others bury Zhao Heitie, shook his head and commanded everyone.

"Big boss, what about the surviving villagers?" Zhou Dazhu asked.

"Give each of them a piece of food, let them fend for themselves, their cowardly character is not suitable to join our cottage at all."

"I see."

In the end, Li Zixiao returned to Mangdang Mountain Cottage with a group of men, which was the first time they fought with officers and soldiers and won a complete victory.

In addition to Zhao Heitie, who was killed in retreat, there were two other pikemen who were slightly injured, and the rest did not suffer any casualties, but they killed seventeen routers.

Although they were sneak attacks and caught the enemy off guard, and even these routs were a group of rabble, Li Zixiao didn't care about them.

What he cares about is that through this battle, this time he killed those officers and soldiers, which can be regarded as eliminating the instinctive fear of his subordinates for the Ming officers and soldiers.

The next time they encounter a battle with the officers and soldiers, they will not be afraid before fighting, and this is the most important thing.

In the midst of playful laughter, Li Zixiao took dozens of subordinates, carrying bags of money and grain, and returned to the cottage.

They went down the mountain for the first time after the special training to 'do business', and they really made a lot of money, and this business without capital is cool!!
