Chapter 231: Blood Thief

Heroes emerge in troubled times, and there are many bandits in troubled times.

With the advent of the Great Xia Era, the environment has changed dramatically, the deterrent power of the army has declined, and the combat effectiveness of individual human beings has improved, breeding many bandits.

Especially after the rainy season, many areas were flooded, and when there were large-scale floods and famines in the land of China, bandits were even more rampant.

In the rainy season, the flood is raging, and ordinary bandits can only rob houses nearby, and such bandits do not dare to approach Licheng, which has a very strong strength.

There are 3,000 soldiers in Licheng who have entered the Taoyuan Ancient Temple and participated in the reclamation, and eighty percent of the soldiers returned from the secret realm, and their combat effectiveness has increased greatly.

Many warriors have become true innate warriors, and even, a few cultivators with fast cultivation have successfully advanced to intermediate warriors.

Moreover, Licheng also has a complete management system, with a highly efficient and cohesive leadership organization.

Originally, such a Li Cheng was an absolute hard bone, and it was an existence that was not far from colliding with any other strength.

However, there are exceptions to everything.

Such a city will inevitably be a very strong enemy once it encounters a foreign enemy.

In particular, when Licheng had sufficient food and became fragrant and sweet, those forces that became bandits because of the food shortage naturally listed Licheng as the target of looting.

Licheng is located in the upper reaches of Dezhou, which is also part of the Yangtze River basin, and geographically speaking, it is closer to the Dongting Lake area.

In the previous life, Licheng was poor and dilapidated, with less than 10,000 survivors, and no one really moved their minds to Licheng.

In this life, the population of Licheng reached more than 30,000, and there was plenty of food and clothing, which is one of the best-preserved mountain cities in Texas and the least damaged by disasters.

What's more, Li Cheng didn't know what secret recipe he had obtained, and he planted a large amount of grain, which was enough to save his life during the summer rainy season.

The rainy season is coming, the location of Licheng is relatively high, there is no river backfilling, flooding the county, but, after all, Licheng is named after Lishui, and is located in the lake area, the rainy season is inevitable, just like the Taoyuan ancient temple, on a large scale, it has become an isolated island surrounded by water.

The flood rose and after being surrounded for more than ten days, it was very unexpected that several very strange fishing boats floated in the direction of Dongting Lake, and there were several monks whose cultivation was not particularly high, saying that they were survivors of the submerged area, begging for help from Licheng.

In the Great Xia Period, human beings are struggling, Licheng is not short of food, and it is not a big deal to take in a few survivors, Liu Lihuo waved his hand and threw a small courtyard to a few survivors, ensuring the food supply, saying that Licheng is fully capable of accepting more survivors.

Several survivors thanked them for a day, expressing their worries about their relatives in the Lake District, and hoping to go back and bring the possible survivors to Licheng to spend the rainy season.

The survivors drove small and strange fishing boats in the direction of Dongting Lake, and less than two days later, flags fluttered on the water in that direction, and hundreds of large fishing boats came to Licheng.

This scale is a bit big!

Liu Lihuo said that it was a bit too big, Fang Yulin thought that something was wrong, so he found Peng Jie, and several people gathered the team in a hurry to organize defense.

Hundreds of large fishing boats docked, rushed out of hundreds of monks, and more warriors showed good combat power, gathered by the Lishui River, and after preparing the whole team, they killed Li Cheng.

With such a powerful combat power, if it were an ordinary mountain city, it would definitely not be able to withstand a charge, and it would definitely fall in an instant.

However, Licheng is slightly different, although it is a little hasty, but the team is natural, they are all elites who have experienced the battle of opening up the wasteland, and they do not show weakness, and they launched a stubborn resistance to these sudden invaders on the bank of the Lishui River.

The invaders were a little careless, and never expected that the defense of Licheng would be so strong, and the momentum of the attack was stubbornly blocked by the defenders of Licheng.

After Licheng fully reacted and the monks who had scattered the cultivation of the Wangtian Immortal Forest also rushed back, the invaders unwillingly abandoned hundreds of warriors, got on the big fishing boat, and rode away.

Li Cheng defeated the invaders, but also paid a heavy price for himself.

After a fierce battle, more than 100 soldiers stained the river beach with blood, and they could no longer get up.

What is even more irritating is that from that day on, the invaders began to circle around Licheng like a shadow that lingers in the shadows, and a small group of powerful monks rushed into Licheng before they came, causing battles and chaos.

There are no fishing boats in Licheng that can withstand strong winds and waves, and the average strength of the monks in Licheng is strong, but there are not many real masters!

These weaknesses were seized by the river pirates, who incessantly sent small units to harass them.

Li Cheng suddenly had a lot of noise, and he was not at peace day and night, and fell into a tired and bitter battle.

There were no large wharves and no sailors, so they were helpless to deal with this kind of harassment and were very passive.

After continuous fighting, the defense line had to retreat again and again, and in the end, it had to abandon all the defenses on the periphery of Licheng, stick to the city, and resist stubbornly.

The river pirates occupied some important resource points on the periphery of Licheng, and even occupied the grain planting areas on the periphery of Licheng, and took away many grains that Licheng had not yet had time to harvest, thus gaining an overwhelming advantage over Licheng.

Fang Yulin, Peng Jie, Liu Lihuo and others were very helpless, so they could only stick to the city, let the soldiers patrol regularly and use Fang Yun's formation to fight the enemy, barely maintaining basic security.

The river thieves who had grabbed the grain were not satisfied, and shouted to Licheng, demanding that the whole city of Licheng surrender and obey the leadership of Dongting Blood Jiaowu, otherwise they would be harassed day and night until the day when Licheng could not stand the complete collapse.

It was only at this time that the people of Licheng figured out the origin of the enemy, the river thieves of Dongting Blood Jiaowu.

Blood Jiaowu's all-out methods are despicable, and the people of Licheng are unwilling to give in.

Besides, the people of Licheng have always had heroes to worship in their hearts, with their own guardian saints, and they have been waiting for the return of Fang Yun, the Divine Fire Heavenly General, so naturally they will not surrender easily.

Under the leadership of the Shenhuo Alliance, the Licheng warriors fought against the Blood Jiao Thieves for more than 20 days, and suffered heavy losses, but they did not make the Blood Jiao Thieves have a better time.

It's just that as the days went by, different voices began to appear within Licheng, and it caused a tragedy, almost causing the whole city to collapse.

The cause of the incident is still related to Fang Yun.

Fang Yun became the hero of Licheng, leading Licheng to quickly come out of the disaster and cultivate many powerful warriors.

In order to avenge Wu Hao's parents, Fang Yun also ruthlessly eliminated all the members of the Qingfeng Gang and cleared the cancer of Licheng, and the bloody methods were enough to make the ill-intentioned people in Licheng tremble.

Liu Lihuo and Fang Yulin and others were even like Wu Hao, who had obtained an extraordinary inheritance in the battle of clearing the wasteland, and their strength was high.

Generally speaking, if there is no external interference, the management structure of Licheng is absolutely monolithic, and there will be no problems.

However, the appearance of the Blood Jiao Thief and the strength of the Blood Jiao Thief finally gave some unwilling people an idea that they should not have.

What Liu Lihuo and Fang Yulin didn't expect was that some warriors who were not cultivated by Fang Yun and grew up quickly after the Great Xia Ji and were a little dissatisfied with Fang Yun became the biggest hidden danger in Licheng.

Inside Licheng, there was actually a rebellion.

In another attack by the Blood Jiao Thieves, Wu Zhonghang, who had already emerged in Licheng and had become a relatively powerful warrior leader, suddenly defected and led more than 300 brothers to wave the butcher's knife at the Licheng soldiers.

Suddenly, Licheng was in chaos in an instant, blood flowed like a river, that battle, lasted for half a day, the eastern district of Licheng fell, thousands of Licheng people fell in a pool of blood, Peng Jie's good sister, Liang Xiaoying, who was not particularly strong, was captured by the blood Jiao thieves, and she didn't know whether she was alive or dead.

Li Cheng suffered a great chaos and barely survived, but from then on, fierce battles between the east and west districts continued every day.

In the battle, the blood thieves did not care about the lives of civilians, and the advantages of unscrupulous means in the battle were shown, occupying a bigger and bigger advantage, and the war zone gradually extended to the western area, and the living space of the survivors of Licheng became smaller and smaller.

On this day, Wu Zhonghang stood in the middle of the street, holding a blood-weeping long knife in his hand, looking up to the sky and laughing wildly: "Don't dream, the so-called Shenhuo Heavenly General is just a hairy boy who awakened earlier, you look around now, and then look behind me, hahaha, isn't it, every one of us is a Shenhuo Heavenly General, and we all have the general strength of Shenhuo Heavenly General?"

Liu Lihuo roared loudly: "The colonel won't let you go, Wu Zhonghang, you anti-bone cub who eats inside and out, you can't die well......"

Wu Zhonghang laughed: "What about Lao Tzu, it's not for you to decide, but, Lao Tzu dares to say, if you don't surrender today, Lao Tzu will let the entire Licheng blood flow like a river, give me a blood cannon......"

Boom, boom, behind Wu Zhonghang, rows of small carts were launched, which were equipped with some strange, like small howitzers, gun mounts.

Wu Zhonghang gave an order, and the gun mount was aimed at the unarmed civilians in Licheng.
