Two hours later, with the speed of the Liangshan soldiers and the fact that they didn't have night blindness, they arrived at Dagang Village under Song Wan's guidance.
At this time, the villagers who lacked entertainment had long fallen asleep. The village was dark, but there were dogs barking around the village, telling the villagers that strangers had entered the village.
Many of the villagers were startled awake, but they did not dare to run out to check on the situation. They only dared to hide in their houses, hugging their wives and children tightly, trembling. Even some of the bolder ones only held kitchen knives or other weapons and stood at the door with solemn expressions. If anyone barged in at this time, they would definitely fight with the bandits.
However, the group of people outside weren't targeting the villagers. They had already arrived in the village. Outside Qian Lizheng's house was a large manor with some lights inside.
"My lord, this is the place." At this moment, Song Wan stood beside Liu Cheng, who was wearing a black cloak, and said respectfully.
" Rumble…" Liu Cheng didn't say anything, but he directly threw a punch at the tightly shut manor door. In an instant, a powerful blood qi turned into a surging killing intent, appearing like a running dragon, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws. With a loud bang, the manor door was finally shattered. Then, he said indifferently,"Kill…"
"Yes." Hearing this order, Du Qian immediately waved his hand. He led more than 300 Liang Mountain soldiers, including more than 100 of Liu Cheng's personal guards. They all carried large swords and charged into the manor. Before long, chaotic screams and miserable howls rang out in the manor. A thick smell of blood permeated the air.
Today's battle was the first real battle of the Liangshan army, and also the first battle where blood was shed. Thus, the real battle training began here. Naturally, Liu Cheng did not participate in the battle after breaking through the gate of the manor. He stayed outside and watched the massacre inside with cold eyes. Although Du Qian led his troops to kill their way in, he was only an escort. Unless they encountered experts, he would not join the battle. He only observed the situation around him.
Thus, it was time to test the Liangshan army. Looking at how they were fighting on their own in a chaotic manner, and how they were fighting in unity with strict discipline, one could tell whether this army was an elite or a motley crew.
Of course, even if they were a motley crew, their individual martial strength was also terrifying. For example, Du Qian's soldiers had already cultivated internal energy, and Liu Cheng's personal guards had also cultivated blood qi. In the martial world, they were all experts.
However, Liu Cheng's comprehensive training for these people was not for them to be brave and ruthless. He wanted to use them as seeds to train them into basic officers so that they could be used for future expansion. Therefore, an army should have the appearance of an army. A group of people who understood unity and discipline were good soldiers.
This was the main point that Liu Cheng had always emphasized, and it was also the result he wanted.
"Puff, puff, puff…"
" Ha ha ha…" Fortunately, Liu Cheng's prestige was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. His identity as the son of the Red Emperor had made the soldiers under him believe in him without a doubt. Therefore, everyone regarded his words as a god and remembered them in their hearts. They had been brainwashed by him. Therefore, even if these soldiers were individually brave and powerful, when they encountered a battle, they would subconsciously cooperate. Each squad had nine people. They turned into sharp knives and chased after the people in the manor. Regardless of whether they were men or women, old or young, they were all their targets.
Even if they encountered some young women, they would not hesitate to slash them down. They did indeed have the appearance of an elite army.
If they were a real mob, they would have dispersed a long time ago when they saw the gold and silver everywhere in the manor and the young women screaming and running. They would have turned into a group of wild beasts to rob money and women without any discipline. Therefore, the soldiers of Liangshan had already done a good job.
Actually, it wasn't that they weren't tempted by the gold and silver on the ground and the women around them, but the reason why they were indifferent in the end was that they were all holding back their anger and wanted to perform well in front of Liu Cheng. No one wanted to leave a bad impression on Liu Cheng and be hated by him, so they maintained their discipline.
It had to be said that this was a good start. The soldiers believed in Liu Cheng and adhered to their moral bottom line and principles. This was very good.
It was really good.
"Run!" At this moment, facing this group of murderous maniacs, they were all incredibly terrifying. A few of them formed a formation and advanced forward. Even the group of Jianghu heroes raised by Qian Lizheng were instantly killed by them. They did not have the strength to retaliate at all. This frightened the other people. Their faces were filled with horror and their eyes were filled with fear. Then, they immediately wanted to run away and use their qinggong to climb over the wall. Unfortunately, they had long been targeted by the other Liangshan soldiers. In the next moment, a group of soldiers surrounded them. Following that, saber light flashed and a few miserable screams sounded. They did not even have the chance to surrender before they were all chopped into meat paste.
"Leave Qian Lizheng and his son alive.”Suddenly, Liu Cheng's cold voice rang out from outside, echoing in the ears of the Liang Mountain soldiers. The soldiers immediately stopped their killing and re-formed into a square formation. At this moment, only Qian Lizheng's family was left in the corner, including his son, wife, and grandson. They were trembling in fear, paralyzed on the ground, their faces as pale as paper.
At this moment, there were about a hundred people in the entire Qian family. Only a dozen or so were left, and they were all direct descendants of the Qian family.
" Song Wan…" Liu Cheng said," Keep an eye on Qian Lizheng's family. Tomorrow, we'll conduct a public trial in front of the entire village."”
"Yes, my lord." Although Song Wan didn't know what a public trial was, he still remembered the order with a respectful expression. He walked in and detained Qian Lizheng and his family.
"Du Qian, take 200 people and clean up all the rich and heartless landlord lords in this village. But remember, leave these landlord lords and their families alive. Tomorrow, you will avenge the villagers.”Then, he saw Du Qian walking out of the bloody manor with over 300 soldiers who had seen blood and were completely unharmed. Liu Cheng ordered.
