The most arrogant in history

The deputy archer had no choice but to pick up his light crossbow and shoot at the dark crowd of bandits.

Ye Kun also picked up a short crossbow and shot to death two strong men among the bandits.

Only strong men have fighting ability, and killing one is better than killing two.

Shooting the strong man will also deter other robbers!

“We are here——!”

At this moment, Qin Chou had already brought the second echelon of the tiger-hunting team, a total of about fifty people, swarming in with torches.

Coincidentally, drum beats and shouts were also heard from the direction of the sentry post in the south of the village.

The tiger must have been shot over there!

About ten of the robbers were shot dead and the group was in a panic.

He saw Ye Kun shouting and mobilizing troops, saw countless torches rushing towards the village, and heard drums and shouting from the south of the village. He thought there was really an ambush and turned around and ran away in fear.

Most of the bandits were poor people who had no food to eat, as well as the elderly, the weak and the disabled. They were just there to make up the numbers and do odd jobs, and had no fighting power at all.

Some people don’t even have weapons, only sticks!

Fighting against this mob, with a little preparation, Ye Kun can beat ten of them alone!

The tall and thin man who was shot just now was the second in command of Shuangya Mountain.

Seeing that the second in command and the fourth in command were both dead, the remaining bandits were naturally terrified and fled in panic.

Ye Kun waved his hands and shouted, "Chase them! Don't let these beasts get away!"

Upon hearing this, the bandits ran even faster.

They trample on each other and cry for their parents.

Ye Kun secretly rejoiced that he had taken the risk and actually succeeded.

If these robbers had not been scared away, Cao Miao Village would have been massacred tonight!

Qin Chou and his fellow villagers rushed over and were shocked to see the robbers lying on the ground:

"Isn't this the bandit from Shuangya Mountain? Brother Dalang, did you kill the bandit?"

It was the first time for the villagers to see so many corpses and they were all frightened.

Some people have already vomited.

Duke Tai of Zhou also came over with a cane, and when he saw the corpses, he collapsed to the ground and cried out in horror:

"You are so brave that you actually killed the bandits from Shuangya Mountain. It's over. Our Caomiao Village is finished this time. No one will survive!"

"I killed him!"

Ye Kun stood up.

"And me!" Qin Erwu followed Ye Kun closely and said with a glare:

"Guo Jianglong had his ears cut off by the county lieutenant some time ago. They came here tonight to take revenge. If we don't kill the robbers, we will be killed by them!"

The other two members of the tiger hunting team also stood behind Ye Kun: "We also shot arrows and killed people."

"You, you are harming our entire village!"

Zhou Taigong was as sad as if he had lost his parents. He pointed at Ye Kun and others:

"The bandits in Shuangya Mountain only come here every year to ask for food, and they usually don't kill people. This time, you killed the second and fourth leaders, and they will definitely come to seek revenge. We are unarmed, so why don't we kill them all?"

The villagers were all terrified, and the timid women had already started crying.

"Everyone, listen to me!"

Ye Kun suddenly shouted, waved his hand and said:

"Fellow villagers, we have worked hard to kill tigers and exchanged our lives for some rewards. We are now living a good life, right?"

The villagers nodded together: "Yes!"

"But when bandits come, they will steal our money, our food, and even take away your daughters, daughters-in-law, and sisters, take them to the mountains to rape them, and then sell them to brothels. Are you willing?"

"I don't want to!"

"Well, since you don't want to, we will take up swords, guns, bows and arrows, kill the robbers who enter the village, and protect our food, our home, our daughters and sisters!"

Ye Kun took the opportunity to encourage everyone and continued to shout: "From today on, I, Ye Dalang, and the bandits of Shuangya Mountain will never reconcile - even if my father is a bandit, I will kill him!"

Qin Erwu, Yan Liuhai and others raised their bows and arrows, and shouted behind Ye Kun: "We will never reconcile with each other, and we will kill the robbers!"

Qin Chou looked at the situation and had no choice but to stand on Ye Kun's side, waving his hands and shouting:

"From now on, we will fight bandits like we fight tigers. We will kill them one by one. We all listen to Ye Dalang. If we can kill tigers, we can kill bandits too!"

The villagers all thought it made sense, and were inspired by Ye Kun's heroic spirit. They all raised their arms and shouted, "Kill the robbers! Kill the robbers!"

Ye Kun was very satisfied. He waited for the shouting to subside and waved his hand again:

"I declare that everyone must take out 10 strings of cash to buy wine and meat. As long as you are willing to join our tiger-hunting team and are willing to kill tigers and robbers, regardless of gender, age or status, we will accept you all and guarantee that you will have wine and meat every day! In addition, I will reward you with 1 string of cash for killing a robber!"

The emperor is far away, so Ye Kun can only organize the villagers to save themselves.

There will always be brave men when there is a big reward. As long as there are seventy or eighty people, Ye Kun is still confident that he can fight a defensive battle and a positional battle.

The villagers cheered and came forward to sign up: "I'll participate, count me in!"

Having wine and meat every day is worth it even if I die!

Ye Kun nodded and pointed at the three bandits who were still screaming and still alive:

"Those who are willing to fight the bandits with me, come forward and give these three guys a knife or a stick!"

There is something called a letter of allegiance.

Once you've pledged your allegiance, there's no turning back.

If Ye Kun wants to fight the bandits, he must tie up all the villagers together!

There were several villagers whose relatives had been killed by robbers, and they went up to beat them up with hatred.

Seeing this, others also stepped forward to finish off the enemy.

In an instant, the three robbers who were not yet dead were all dead.

Ye Kun added: "From now on, we will all work together to fight tigers and robbers. If anyone is colluding with the robbers and we find out, what do you think we should do?"

"Anyone who colludes with the robbers will be beaten to death!" the villagers shouted.

Zhou Taigong, who was standing nearby, trembled with fear and shouted, "Anyone who colluded with the robbers will be beaten to death!"

Ye Kun was very satisfied. He arranged for everyone to bury the bodies of the robbers. He also immediately discussed the deployment of defenses with Qin Chou, Qin Erwu and others.

Additional personnel were deployed at the three entrances to the village, and bows and arrows were added to prevent the robbers from returning.

In fact, the remaining bandits had already run far away, so how could they dare to come back?

In a blink of an eye it was dawn.

Ye Kun kept his word and took out several strings of cash to reward Qin Erwu and others who had shot and killed the robbers last night.

He took out some money and asked Qin Chou to go to the county town and bring back some wine and fruit for him.

A tiger was killed last night. Today, Qin Chou went to collect the reward and reported the bandits invading the village. He requested the county lieutenant to send troops to suppress the bandits.

Ye Kun was worried about the safety on the road, so he assigned Qin Chou ten tiger-hunting team members with three double-shot crossbows.

After Qin Chou left, Ye Kun led the villagers to patrol the surroundings of the village, set up obstacles, and continue to deploy defenses.

Jiang Yourong and Dai Xi Caidie cooked meat at home and shared it with everyone.

In the evening, there was a loud sound of horse hooves outside the village and the dust was flying.

On the watchtower west of the village, the tiger-hunting team beat drums and shouted, "The bandits are coming, everyone get ready!"

Ye Kun was surprised, and rode the mare left by the county lieutenant, rushing to the village with a bow and arrow.

It was somewhat unexpected that the robbers dared to come before dark.

Unexpectedly, on the way into the village, Qin Chou appeared first on horseback, waving his hand and shouting, "Don't shoot, I'm Qin Chou... I'm here with the county lieutenant!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Kun hurriedly ordered the men on the watchtower to put down their bows and arrows.

Only after confirming that the alert had been lifted did Shangguan Jifu dare to lead his troops into the village.

This time, Shangguan Jifu brought ten cavalrymen and two horse-drawn carriages. The tiger-hunting team members from Caomiao Village all sat in the carriages.

If the county lieutenant had not made a special trip to see them off, Qin Chou and the others would not have been able to make it back tonight.

Seeing Ye Kun, Shangguan Jifu took the initiative to clasp his fists:

"Brother Dalang, you killed more than a dozen bandits in Shuangya Mountain. You are so impressive. Come fight with me in the future. If you kill ten enemies, you will be awarded a title."

The Da Ding Kingdom conferred titles based on military merit, with a total of nineteen levels.

To obtain the lowest level of nobility, one only needs to kill ten enemies.

Why are you bringing this up again? Ye Kun changed the subject and said with a smile:

"Sir, the saddle I mentioned last time has been prepared, but you haven't come yet..."
