A voice shouting to kill suddenly appeared in front of them, and the team was in a moment of commotion.

The scouts quickly came to report that there were rogue bandits in the valley ahead, and the sergeants were chasing and killing the fleeing bandits.

Wu Xiang's expression changed instantly, and he quickly walked forward. The sergeant who was running quickly quickly made way for a path. Wu Xiang was surrounded by a dozen personal guards, and the ancient road was not wide.

It was so crowded that the sergeants behind could only trot behind.

It was clear that the bandits were setting up an ambush in the valley, but the scouts said that the sergeants were chasing and killing the fleeing bandits. Wu Xiang originally wanted to get angry, but the fighting had already begun, and now was not the time to lose his temper.

Within a few minutes, Wu Xiang saw the valley in front of him, which was the Luodi Valley.

Some scouts have found this location on the map, but there is nothing marked on it.

Wu Xiang couldn't believe the scene in front of him. The deputy commander in charge of the battle was yelling, ordering more sergeants to join the battle and kill the bandits. Those so-called bandits who set up ambushes were wearing disheveled clothes and disheveled hair.

, they were no match at all. Many bandits were chopped to the ground, and more bandits were running desperately towards the valley, obviously trying to escape for their lives.

Seeing Wu Xiang appearing at the entrance of the valley, the deputy commander hurried over with a look of disdain on his face.

"Master General, these vulnerable bandits actually dare to set up an ambush in the valley. They are looking for death. My subordinates are going to lead the sergeants in pursuit and kill them all..."

Behind Wu Xiang, more sergeants raised their steel knives and joined the battle group.

This was not a fight, this was a one-sided massacre. The bandits had no power to fight back. There seemed to be no other choice but to flee desperately.

Wu Xiang shook his head. He originally despised and despised the bandits. After seeing these bandits who were inferior to ordinary people with his own eyes, he felt that it was too easy to eliminate the bandits this time.

The deputy commander asked for instructions to pursue the bandits and ensure that all the bandits in the valley were wiped out. Wu Xiang did not object, and the anger in his heart just now disappeared. Based on the poor combat effectiveness of the bandits, setting up an ambush was a joke.

Wu Xiang didn't even bother to remind the deputy commander that he needed to be careful during pursuit operations. After all, the sergeants of the Liaodong Frontier Army were not familiar with the topography of the ancient road.

A large number of sergeants pursued forward along the valley, killing bandits who could not run fast along the way. Even if some bandits knelt down and surrendered, the sergeants still raised the steel sword in their hands to chop them down. They did not need prisoners, after all, these prisoners were wanted.

Those who consume food have to be sent special sergeants to look after them. It is troublesome anyway, so it is better to kill them all.

The deputy commander-in-chief was in the middle of the army. He did not need to take action. A bandit with such fighting power did not need him, the deputy commander-in-chief, to use his sword.

The ancient road is no longer as narrow as it was at the beginning, and three or five people can run side by side. However, the ancient road is uneven, which affects the speed of the sergeant's pursuit.

More than ten minutes passed, and the voice of exclamation appeared again from the front.

The deputy commander was stunned for a moment, then quickly quickened his pace and headed forward.

Another valley appeared in front of them. The deputy commander was not nervous at all, but the sergeant who entered the valley obviously speeded up his pace. Noisy sounds continued to be heard from the front, and more exclamations appeared.

The deputy commander finally appeared at the entrance of the valley.

In the open space in the middle of the valley, there were many scattered copper plates and a lot of broken silver. This valley was larger than the previous one. The sergeants who entered the valley all bent down when they saw the copper plates and broken silver scattered on the ground.

Go pick up the copper plates and broken silver on the ground and stuff them into your pocket.

A lot of copper plates and broken silver had probably been stepped on by the bandits who had just escaped and had sunk into the soil. Some soldiers simply used the steel knives in their hands to pry up the copper plates and broken silver.

Several sergeants found a place with a lot of copper plates and broken silver. They couldn't help but exclaimed. More sergeants gathered around and picked up the copper plates and broken silver on the ground regardless of their own safety.

The deputy commander shouted loudly and ordered the sergeant not to pick up the copper plates and broken silver on the ground. Based on his instinct, he felt that these were dropped by the bandits just to escape for their lives.

However, the loud shouts of the deputy commander were covered up by the noisy voices of the sergeants. Some sergeants began to fight for the copper plates and broken silver on the ground. More sergeants ran into the valley and bent down to look for copper plates and broken silver on the ground. Many sergeants simply

Putting down the steel knife in his hand, he knelt on the ground and used his hands to dig out the copper plates and broken silver he had just found.

These sergeants left Shanhaiguan and entered the Central Plains to exterminate bandits. Although they looted non-stop along the way, the money they obtained was pitiful. They only dared to rob ordinary people and did not dare to touch the homes of large families. Ordinary people did not have much money in their homes.

Therefore, the money they robbed was not much. It was good to get a few copper coins. At most, they robbed some food.

Copper plates and broken silver were found in the valley, especially the broken silver, which had a huge appeal to the sergeants. If they could get as much broken silver as possible, it would be worthwhile for them to enter the Central Plains to fight.

A personal guard came to the deputy general manager with a few broken pieces of silver and handed them over with a smile on his face.

The deputy general manager looked at the bodyguard and smiled with satisfaction, then reached out and took away the broken silver.

The combat effectiveness of the rogue bandits is not worth mentioning. Since they exchanged these money for their lives, let them go. Anyway, after leaving the ancient road, the army marched towards Xing'an Prefecture. Sooner or later, they will be able to annihilate all the rogue bandits. At this time, why not let as many sergeants as possible

I picked up copper plates and scraps of silver.

The deputy commander, who thought this way, stopped speaking to stop the sergeant and let the sergeant pick up money in the valley.

More and more sergeants put their steel knives on the ground and were busy picking up money.

...

When the screams came, the deputy commander was stunned for a moment. He thought it was a fight between sergeants over money. It is not surprising that such a situation happens in the army. Everyone is stationed at Shanhaiguan with their heads up, and they value it most.

Of course, money is money. With money, you can enjoy yourself well, make your family's life better, and let others do things for you.

Screams came one after another, and when the sergeants in the valley began to become restless, the deputy commander stood up.

If there is a large-scale armed fight, the deputy commander will definitely step in to stop it.

After cursing a few words, the deputy commander walked towards the place where the screams came from, breathing heavily as he walked. All the guards around him had gone to the valley to pick up money, and there were no guards around him.

When several voices and shadows rushed to his side, the deputy commander didn't pay attention and was about to reach out to push them away. Maybe he was a red-eyed sergeant who was trying to grab money and pounced on them desperately.

A ray of sword light passed by, and the deputy commander felt a chill in his right arm, and severe pain instantly came.

With his mouth wide open and a look of horror on his face, the deputy commander finally saw clearly that the people rushing towards him were not the sergeants under his command at all. These people had ferocious expressions on their faces.

The military uniforms worn by these people are somewhat similar to the military uniforms of the Liaodong Frontier Army, but if you look carefully, you can still see the differences. The military uniforms worn by these people are obviously much worn out.

The deputy commander's right arm had been cut off. When he opened his mouth and was about to shout, a flash of sword light passed by.

The deputy commander covered his neck with his remaining left hand, and blood still came out.

The fallen deputy commander did not know until his death where these people came from or who they were. Their fighting power was obviously different from those of the bandits who were desperately trying to escape.

...

It was Zhang Dongtao who killed the deputy commander-in-chief.

The sergeants of the old camp who had sneaked into the Ming Dynasty's Liaodong Frontier Army had already started killing. What Zhang Dongtao didn't expect was that the sergeant of the Liaodong Frontier Army got into the money's eyes. What he saw in his eyes were broken silver and copper plates.

He didn't notice that some of his companions had been killed.

The death of the deputy commander finally made the sergeants in the valley realize that something was wrong.

Some sergeants tried to pick up the steel knives lying on the ground, but unfortunately they had no time to move and were chopped down by the sergeants of the old rebel battalion who rushed towards them. Some sergeants were only focused on picking up the money, and the steel knives were already quite far away from them without even noticing.

, some of the rebel sergeants who blended into the crowd were holding two steel knives, one of which was of course picked up from the ground.

When the Liaodong frontier army sergeant realized that something was wrong, Zhang Dongtao raised the bloody steel knife in his hand.

A roar appeared instantly, and a large number of sergeants rushed out from the left and right sides of the valley, the steel swords in their hands shining brightly.

The sergeant of the Liaodong Frontier Army who had not yet reacted had no time to pick up the steel knife on the ground, nor did he care about the copper plates and broken silver that fell on the ground. They all fled towards the entrance of the valley.

The mouth of the valley was only so big, and the sergeants who were rushing towards the mouth of the valley without their lives were soon crowded together.

Screams came one after another, and the one-sided massacre occurred again, but this time it was the sergeants of the Liaodong Frontier Army who were massacred.

The sergeants of the veteran camp of the rebel army who had an absolute advantage would never show mercy. They kept rushing forward, waving the steel knives in their hands, and beheaded the officers and soldiers. Even if the officers and soldiers knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, they did not let go.

The bloody situation caused those Liaodong border army sergeants who tried to escape but could not squeeze out to collapse instantly.

More people knelt down and surrendered, giving up resistance.

Wu Xiang had always believed that the sergeants of the Liaodong border army who had strong fighting ability actually performed like this, which was inevitably surprising.

After the ecstasy, Zhang Dongtao quickly calmed down and ordered some rebel sergeants to tie up those Ming army sergeants who had knelt down to surrender and quickly escorted them outside the valley. The main sergeants of the old camp were waiting at the entrance of the valley, trying to kill them.

More Ming army sergeants.

The so-called brave Liaodong frontier army was so vulnerable that it was beyond Zhang Dongtao's expectation. At this moment, he suddenly understood the words in the letter.

The fighting continued, and more rebel sergeants entered the valley, picked up the steel knives and spears scattered on the ground, and joined the battle group.

...

When the scout with blood stains on his face appeared in front of him, Wu Xiang was a little dizzy. In just a short time, the Liaodong border army suffered a disastrous defeat. Many sergeants were killed, and a large number of sergeants knelt down and surrendered. The scout reported,

More and more rogue bandits appear in the valley.
