Astral Apostle Chapter 215: Expansion and war
The latest website: Under Sheng Rong's statement, this gang of seven or eight hundred water bandits has joined Zhou Jing's command.
The minions don't care about this, as long as the leader is able to live in the world, then it's the same with everyone they follow, not to mention that Chen Feng is so fierce, he is stronger than Sheng Rong no matter what.
Relying on Greenwood's fame and skill, he easily subdued this small gang. Zhou Jing immediately asked everyone to count the water villages, and within half an hour the results were achieved.
The exact number of this little Fenghu water bandit is 872 people, of which about 430 people can fight, all of them have a certain water quality, although they are malnourished and in average health, but because they have been poor all year round, so Habits are pretty tough.
The water village is very small, with limited supplies. The weapons are only more than 300 daggers and sharp knives, as well as some kitchen knives and pitchforks.
The most important supplies are the boats, there are quite a few of them, there are hundreds of them, all of them are small boats, fast, but they are quite old, with knife edges everywhere, and there are many traces of repairs.
After roughly clarifying the situation, Zhou Jing summoned everyone and expressed his thoughts:
"We are gathering here, so we naturally want to make a name for ourselves in the Green Forest. Sheng Rong has joined me, and I will probably face Fan Zong, so deal with him first, win more of his territory, and lure him to attack. Then subdue him and let me wait for the brothers to gain a firm foothold in Huyang."
I am a newcomer with no foundation, and annexing the existing big bandits is naturally the fastest way to develop.
His current strategic intention is very simple, because it is impossible to pry the corner of the "Golden Scale King" Fan Zong, so he just keeps using Fan Zong as a knife.
First use your own reputation and martial arts to break into the door and pry away more gangs of water bandits under Fan Zong's command, forcing this guy to take action, and then deal with Fan Zong in a single battle, swallowing this person's power.
The three dragons in Huyang are competing with each other, and I only deal with one of them, and don't provoke the other two for the time being.
In this way, the other two parties will either sit on the sidelines, or beat the dog in the water together, and the chances of helping Fan Zong deal with him are very low.
After he replaced Fan Zong with Thunderbolt, the reaction of the other two would either be to perceive the threat and join forces to fight against him, or they would plan to borrow a knife to kill someone and cross the river to demolish the bridge.
Listening to Zhou Jing's plan, everyone was quite excited, among them Sheng Rong who had just joined the group was the most.
Good guy, he is indeed a hero of the green forest. The tone he raised this time is to directly confront one of the local bosses. He is really a dragon!
Zhou Jing paused, and then said: "Our gang is not big, so we won't arrange seats for now. The old brothers will take the lead first, and we won't assign actual positions for now. In addition, there are many rivers and lakes in Huyang, and only Sheng Brother Rong is good at water warfare and understands the terrain, so he will practice the water army for the time being, while the other brothers will practice water skills with him first."
"I will understand."
Guo Haishen, Fang Zhen and others nodded.
Zhou Jing looked at Sheng Rong again, and said:
"Although the brothers and the men under my command have just joined me, they are treated equally. The cheats I searched in Jiangchun are not only spread among the people, but also open to you brothers. What kind of kung fu do you want to practice, you can practice it yourself , if there is something you don’t understand, go ask the leaders.”
Sheng Rong was taken aback for a moment, then overjoyed: "Thank you, brothers!"
You can learn advanced kung fu when you just join the group, and you can also get a group of green forest masters to guide you. This is not a small benefit. As a bandit who licks blood at the edge of a knife, martial arts is the ability to save his life, and no one does not want to improve his skills.
Zhou Jing waved his hand, and continued:
"We are currently using Xiaofeng Lake as our base. It is only a stopgap measure. We will eventually settle in Caoyue Mountain Lake, but it is not the time to move in yet. Brother Shengrong, you understand the situation nearby, and you still need to clarify the situation under Fan Zong's command. The distribution of the territory of the twenty-two generals of the waterway, we will first take down the adjacent water bandits and expand the territory."
"Understood."
Sheng Rong is solemn.
At this time, Fang Zhen thought for a while, and suddenly asked: "Second brother, Fan Zong doesn't know I'm coming, why don't you let brother Sheng Rong go to see Fan Zong, and I will pretend to be accompanying you, and when I approach Fan Zong Take it down directly, and capture the thief first, just like in Hutou Mountain, wouldn't it be faster?"
Zhou Jing stroked his chin and muttered:
"I have also thought about this plan, but the situation in Huyang is different from that in Luhe, and the territory of the water bandits is scattered. Although it is convenient to go straight to win Fan Zong, it will not be able to win my name. Even if he replaces this person, everyone under his command will Most of the water bandits will not join us, but go to the other two of the Huyang Sanjiao. In this way, we will become poor commanders, we can only subdue the troops of Fan Zong's headquarters, but cannot command the water bandits everywhere. The site is surrounded by two other dragons. At that time, if you want to conquer other people, you will definitely attract two other people to attack, and you will be hindered, and it will be difficult to start."
Duan Yunfeng's eyes flashed, and he said:
"So that's how it is. Brother Chen wants to subdue many water bandits first, pretending to occupy here, so that he can attract Fan Zong's troops and horses to attack. When they defeat the opponent on the battlefield, not only can Fan Zong be captured, but also Capture many water generals under his command, so that he can complete his meritorious service in one battle, subdue a large number of water bandits in one fell swoop, and be famous in one battle?"
"Almost like that."
Zhou Jing nodded, Duan Yunfeng understood his intention.
Even if they subdue a few more water bandits, the number of soldiers and horses is far less than that of Fan Zong, but his group is full of experts, and if they want to win more with less, they have to give full play to their advantages.
It's a pity that the third apostle Bill is not here, otherwise a tornado would blow over during the water battle, and the number of people who came would be for nothing.
He went on to explain some details, and asked about the distribution of the surrounding water bandits, and then let the leaders disperse.
Currently the gang is still small and does not need a fine division of labor, but when it grows in scale, it needs an organizational structure.
Most of the people in the green forest around me are rough warriors. If they want to gather in the mountains and forests, they need talents for internal affairs management, military training and war fighting.
Either cultivate by yourself, let potential people take the top, and you will gain experience after doing it, or annex other big bandits for inclusion, or put up a banner and wait for heroes from all walks of life to defect.
In short, there are still many talent gaps under my command. It seems that I have to inquire about such special talents in the green forest, and I am shocked when I run in front of these people.
In addition, although one's own martial arts are extraordinary and refined, if it is a large-scale battle, the method of marching and fighting is still important.
Zhou Jing himself doesn't know much about these things. Even if he checks the information in the main world and applies it mechanically, it is easy to become a theory on paper. Besides, the military training methods in the interstellar era may not be suitable for the environment of cold weapons fighting, and he doesn't want to reveal too much about the main world. sign.
The military training methods of this era are in line with the limited conditions of this era, and naturally have merits. He intends to find some talents who are really good at training and fighting, observe their practices, and then compare them with the knowledge accumulated in the main world, make minor improvements, and summarize a set of practical methods.
Because of the limited conditions, Zhou Jing has no intention of striving for excellence. He doesn't want to train any elite soldiers. As long as the quality of the soldiers under his command can reach the upper middle or middle level in this world, they don't want to flee as soon as they start a battle.
He only intends to dabble in the art of war a little bit, and doesn't want to delve into it in depth. Compared with commanding battles, he can better exert his own power by charging into battle. As long as he can find military talents who don't stretch his hips too much, and can give orders instead when he enters the battle, he thinks it will be enough.
With the current strategic goal in place, everyone mobilized one after another.
After resting for two days, Zhou Jing led his men and horses to attack everywhere, and went straight to the water bandits nearby.
During this period, there was almost no decent resistance. After hearing Chen Feng's name and seeing his skill, these water bandit leaders all accepted their heads and bowed down, willing to transfer to Zhou Jing's account.
The talent [Arrogance of Overlord] is not so easy to use.
The only one with some resistance was a group of 3,000 water bandits, entrenched in a large lake, and the leader was Fan Zong's top-ranked water general. Because he felt evenly matched, he was unwilling to directly serve Zhou Jing.
The two sides had a battle on the lake. Under Zhou Jing's inhuman performance, one's own side was like a rainbow, and the opponent doubted life and had no fighting spirit.
As a result, all the water bandits were captured, and the leader was beaten into obedience and surrendered.
It didn't take long for Zhou Jing to pry away Fan Zong's five sites, subdue five gangs of water bandits including Sheng Rong, and they grew like a snowball, reaching a scale of more than 8,000 people.
The news that the "devil of the world" Chen Feng appeared in Huyang and set up a stick and planted a flag here also spread rapidly, alarming the local green forest.
…
Bang!
"Hateful! I have no grievances with this Chen Feng in the past, why did he touch me? This guy wants to gain a foothold in Huyang, so he takes me for a knife, and treats me as a soft persimmon!"
Fan Zong slapped the table vigorously, furious.
He is a slender, middle-aged man with two long beards on his lips. At first glance, he looks like a catfish, and he likes to wear yellow clothes all the year round. He has the nickname of "Golden Scale King".
Not long ago, he received a report from his minions that he was shocked and angry when he learned that the five-way water general under his command had defected to Chen Feng.
Originally, the three pillars of Huyang stood in a stalemate, and they checked and balanced each other for many years. Now a dragon crossing the river suddenly came and broke the balance all of a sudden.
As a local snake being targeted by the crossing dragon, Fan Zong was naturally annoyed. Not only was he angry at the provocation, but he also secretly hated Chen Feng for creating opportunities for the other two old opponents.
The military master of the cottage next to him stroked his beard and murmured: "This Chen Feng's elimination of traitors and evil is not allowed in the righteous way. The only way is to fall into the grass and become a bandit. And this person has a high reputation in the green forest and great ambitions. Most likely he is not willing to be a slave The guy, I think he intends to replace the village master."
"Hmph! Don't even think about it!" Fan Zong snorted angrily, "Although I respect this man as a hero, since he's after me, I can't spare him!"
Finally, Fan Zong stood up suddenly, summoned the messengers, and shouted:
"It is said that the generals from all walks of life will come, and I will send troops to attack Chen Feng, and let him know that Huyang is not a place where he can run amok. Stand here on the top of the mountain, first ask me if I agree!"
Fan Zong didn't dare to sit back and watch Zhou Jing encroach on his territory. If he didn't stop it immediately, he might really become a poor commander.
Moreover, if he was hit on the head, if he didn't fight back, his current status would be lost. The other water bandits felt that he couldn't provide protection for their respective territories, so they would consider switching to others.
So, he is now riding a tiger.
Just when Fan Zong had to fight back, the other two members of Huyang Sanjiao also received the news. They were surprised and gloated.
After discussing with their leaders, the two reacted in the same way.
Stand still, sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight.
If there is an opportunity, they will take the opportunity to encroach on Fan Zong's territory, beat the dog in the water, and even get rid of this old opponent once and for all.
As for Chen Feng, if he loses in the battle, they don't mind throwing stones at him and expelling such a powerful competitor from Huyang.
…
Yunxia Mountain, Nanhua School.
"What? Then Chen Feng came to Huyang? He still set up a mountain here, intending to occupy it for a long time?"
The head of the school, Luo Zhen, was taken aback, and hurriedly asked if the disciple who sent the letter was true.
Receiving an affirmative answer, Luo Zhen couldn't sit still.
"This person has harmed Jiangchun's various sects. Maybe he wants to repeat the old tricks after eating the marrow. As the leading sect in Huyang Wulin, my Nanhua sect must bear the brunt of it! The matter of the martial arts conference cannot be delayed any longer. Already!"
Luo Zhen's face was cloudy and uncertain.
Because of the distance, there are still many sects that are far away and have not given an answer.
But he couldn't wait any longer. He was afraid that Chen Feng would feel that the journey was too short, so he went directly to the Nanhua School to get the cheats. Even if he could get them back later, the loss would be irreparable.
With this in mind, Luo Zhen made a decision, and said in a deep voice:
"Release the news on the rivers and lakes that the various sects will hold a martial arts conference to compete with Chen Feng. I will write another invitation and you will send it to Chen Feng. Make an appointment to attend the meeting next spring."
In his opinion, ~IndoMTL.com~ has made an appointment for the competition, so it should be able to stabilize Chen Feng, so that this guy will not harm Huyang Wulin in the short term, just to give them enough time to contact other sects, Invite masters from all over the world to fight against the devil.
…
"This Chen Feng actually came to Huyang, and he still intends to occupy here?"
The prefect of Huyang Fanzhou prefecture learned about this from the officials, and couldn't help raising his brows.
Jiang Chun's lesson from the past is still in front of him. As a magistrate, he is also very afraid of Chen Feng.
The magistrate of Fanzhou pondered for a while, then made a decision, smiled coldly, and murmured:
"This guy is a thorn in the court's eyes and a thorn in his flesh. How can he be allowed to grow bigger? If he is running around, it is indeed difficult to deal with, but since he wants to stand on the top of the mountain, it will be easy to handle. I will play now and let the court Send elite soldiers and famous generals to wipe out the Huyang bandits along the way, so the world will be blessed!"
