"In this battle, our army suffered 23 casualties, of which 6 were seriously wounded, 17 were lightly wounded, and none of them died. Two hundred and eighty-seven enemy soldiers were killed and five hundred and forty-two were taken prisoner. ”

"The resources captured by our army are as follows: 68,972 taels of silver, 782 taels of gold, and 119 tons of grain."

In addition, there were 932 weapons, 136 sets of armor, and 162 shields. There were 175 horses, of which 10 were inferior horses, and the rest were inferior horses. ”

“……”

With Chen Yu's report, Chen Muzhi nodded, and the unit of measurement of grain was changed to tons, which was taught to him by Chen Muzhi, so that it was easy to calculate.

During this time, through the suppression of bandits, he has accumulated a lot of resources, plus this receipt, there are more than a thousand horses, thousands of weapons and shields, and a little less armor, but there are also seven or eight hundred sets.

There were still more than 2,000 horse thieves captive, and Chen Muzhi evolved their roots and bones to 4 points, and after their loyalty reached death, they abandoned the exercises and let them practice on their own.

Because the Great Qi Dynasty had regulations that except for the nobles of the Kaifeng Marquis and special circumstances, no one could have more than 300 escorts, so Chen Muzhi did not further arm these people.

Chen Muzhi didn't have the ability to argue with Daqi for the time being, so he could only abide by the rules, and let those horse thief captives help Linjia Village reclaim the wasteland in addition to their daily cultivation.

As long as he accumulates enough strength after a period of time, Chen Muzhi can even pull out thousands of troops at once.

"It seems that we have to find an opportunity to find an official and a half-job, so that we can expand the army unscrupulously."

On the way back to the city, Chen Muzhi sat on the horse and pondered.

The Great Qi is as strong as a cloud, with a population of tens of billions and tens of billions, and tens of millions of regular troops, and these are all third-order armies above the third level of refining according to the standard.

With his current strength, facing Daqi is like an ant at the foot of a big tree, and he doesn't dare to be presumptuous at all.

If he wants to make a career, he still needs to integrate into Daqi first, and have his own territory in the land of Daqi before he can further conspire.

With the captured materials and prisoners, three hundred black-armored iron horsemen rushed all the way back, but halfway through, Chen Muzhi found a group of more than 20 routs rushing over.

Chen Yu took the lead with more than ten horsemen to block the past, and he stopped before the rout, and said sharply.

"Where are you from, what are you doing here?"

The rout was frightened, and then they saw a group of imposing black-armored iron horsemen.

Seeing that the defeated soldiers were too frightened to speak, Chen Muzhi raised his eyebrows: "Bring them over." ”

"Yes."

Chen Yu said and escorted the rout over.

Chen Muzhi rode on the black dragon horse and looked condescendingly at the highest-ranking commander among these routs.

"What's going on with you guys?"

The chief of the tun was so frightened that he trembled: "If you go back to the adult, the little one is the guard of Qinghe County, and today the county lieutenant brought soldiers and horses to clear the thieves of Heifeng Village, but I didn't expect to be ambushed by Heifeng Village." ”

"We were assaulted by the army led by the owner of the Black Wind Village, but we didn't expect the county lieutenant to be killed on the spot by the big village master of the Black Wind Village, and then everyone was killed and dispersed.

"What are you kidding?" Chen Muzhi couldn't help frowning: "The regular army of Great Qi has at least three refinement cultivations, no matter how bad you are, how can you be easily defeated by a group of horse thieves?" ”

"Besides, Qinghe County has more than 10,000 elite soldiers, how can it not even be a county lieutenant?"

"How can there be more than 10,000 elite soldiers, how can there be a triple!"

Tun Chang made a bitter face: "It stands to reason that Qinghe County's annual military expenditure is 800,000 taels of silver, which is used to recruit and train 10,000 third-order troops, but in recent years, less than half of them have arrived in the county every year. ”

"In addition, in order to eat empty salaries, the above even turned over the deductions, and now there are only 5,000 first- and second-order soldiers in Qinghe County."

"We were ambushed, and then dispersed, the master of the Black Wind Village is too strong, and the county lieutenant is a peak powerhouse in body refining, so he can't stop it for three rounds."

“……”

Chen Muzhi frowned, he didn't expect Daqi to be so rotten. You must know that Qinghe County is the border of Daqi, and a little further north is the territory of the Xianbei Alliance.

Even daring to deduct military spending in the border area is simply a joke with the lives of tens of millions of people in the entire Cangbei County.

"Then what's the situation in Black Wind Village now?"

"It's small, it's not clear." The tun chief said hesitantly, and suddenly seemed to think: "They seem to be carrying the rout and going to Qinghe County." ”

Chen Yu's face changed slightly: "A group of bandits, do you still want to attack the county seat?" ”

He said, arching his hand to Chen Muzhi: "Lord, what should I do?" ”

"No hurry, this may be an opportunity." Chen Muzhi waved his hand: "Send these supplies and prisoners back first." ”

After settling the supplies and prisoners, Chen Muzhi took three hundred black-armored iron horsemen and galloped towards the county seat.

“……”

"County Zun, it's not good, it's not good!"

Qinghe County, in the palatial mansion, Qinghe County Ling Wang Mu was teasing the birds, and suddenly a panicked voice came from outside the house.

Wang Mu's face turned cold, looked at the housekeeper who ran in in a panic, and said coldly: "Panicked, what kind of system is it?" ”

After reprimanding the housekeeper, he said, "Say, what happened to make you so flustered?" ”

"The bandits from Black Wind Village have called!"

"What did you say?" The county commander's face changed: "Didn't the county lieutenant take people to suppress the bandits?" ”

"Could it be that fool fell for someone else's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain?"

Thinking of the less than 1,000 guards left in the county, cold sweat broke out on Wang Mu's forehead: "Has the county lieutenant come back?" ”

"The county lieutenant ......" The housekeeper trembled a little: "There are routs fleeing back everywhere, and they say that the county lieutenant was killed by the lord of Heifeng Village." ”

"Bang dang!"

The birdcage fell to the ground, Wang Mu's face turned pale, and he muttered to himself: "Even the county lieutenant has been killed, it's over, it's all over, and I can't hold it." ”

The housekeeper looked at his six gods and no master, and became even more anxious: "Master, you send a word." ”

"Yes, let's go, go immediately."

The county commander turned around sharply, and hurriedly got up and said: "Call all the captains in the city, Qinghe County can't hold it, this county commander personally led the troops and horses to break through and go to the county guard for help." ”

“……”

Originally, the thousands of soldiers and horses of Qinghe County were defending the city, and it was almost difficult to break through with the strength of Heifeng Village.

What is surprising is that the county commander Wang Mu is so greedy for life and afraid of death, before the people attack the city, he will abandon hundreds of thousands of people in Qinghe County, and hurriedly want to take people to flee for their lives.

Soon, five hundred cavalry gathered in front of the county command, and Wang Mu looked at the cavalry and said with an ugly face: "What about the captain of the sect?" ”

"If you go back to the county, Captain Zong is guarding the city at the south gate with five hundred people."

"Hmph, that thing that doesn't know what to do." The county commander's thought flickered: "It's too late, let him guard it, and attract some firepower to us." ”

"Let's go, let's break through from the east gate and set off immediately."
