The boy on the arrow tower, who was obviously only sixteen or seventeen years old, was the first person who died today. He was less than five feet tall and was holding an eight-foot spear and carrying a long bow on his body. The dark night before dawn was full of chill. He half-hunted in his body, and the tall arrow tower was unblocked. The cold wind penetrated into his thin shirt, making him unable to help but stomp his feet and pace on the narrow arrow tower to resist the cold.

The special battles shot out a sharp arrow from Tou Duanshan's powerful bow, hitting his chest. The young man groaned, and the whole young man fell directly from the three-meter-high arrow tower, and fell heavily to the ground like a broken sack, making a dull sound.

The pirates of Jinghai arranged two people to be on duty in front of the village, but before dawn was their most relaxed time, and this relaxation directly killed them. Duan Shan shot one of them with an arrow, and the other guard was also shot by another special warrior.

However, the other person was shot in the abdomen. When he was dying, he screamed loudly. The screams were heard in the quiet night for a long time, and the lurking attack ended here. A noise sounded in the village gate, and more than a dozen bandits rushed out with torches.

Duan Shan cursed hatefully and immediately ordered a direct attack.

Li Guan sat on the horse and watched the battle, with the army supervisor Zhang Chengye on the side.

From here, the top of the ridge with a large number of trees is just a look at the Buddhist temple, mills, huts and stables, and the barren weeds, burnt trees and ubiquitous mud. The trees are almost bald. The few brown and yellow leaves on the branches cannot block the view. Zhang Chengye watched the battle that had begun below with excitement, but he sat honestly and watched the battle behind him, without asking to go to the front line. This was Li Guan's request to him before he came out. He could participate in the bandit suppression, but he could only watch the formation from the rear. In order to protect his safety, Li Guan also specially formed a fifty-man military inspector guard for Zhang Chengye from the Liao prisoners of war and slaves, and followed him to protect him.

The eastern horizon was shining with gold and pink light. Half a moon above my head poked out from the low-lying clouds. The cold wind was cold, and Li Yan heard the sound of water and the creaking sound of the big wooden wheels of the mill. There was a scent of rain in the dawn air, but no raindrops fell. The rocket passed through the morning mist, leaving a pale trajectory like a ribbon, nailed into the wooden walls of the village. Some shot through the closed narrow window, and wisps of thin smoke quickly rose from it.

Two pirates holding battle axes in hand and rushed out of the Juyi Hall in the mountain village side by side. Duan Shan and other archers were waiting for them. The sharp arrows were shot out, and one of them died immediately. The iron armor on the other man blocked him. Although the arrow entered, it was still fatal. He stumbled and continued to move forward, and another arrow was still killed. But he was still undead. His desperate heart before death made him charge forward regardless of the pain. Duan Shan took a flying axe from behind and swung hard at the man. The flying axe was whistling and roaring directly on the pirate's head. He immediately stopped his progress.

Duan Shan is a human-shaped beast that is always full of violence, with a strong bow of one stone, two single-handed, double-edged steel battle axes, and two flying axes with letters on their backs. Fighting alone, it can be said that he can fight ten in one battle. This is the elite of the special forces team. Whether it is ranged or melee, immediately, sneak, raid, ambush or block, these people are all good.

This special battle has recruited a group of men from Liaodong prisoners of war, slaves and Da Xie sailors, with a total of 200 special elites. This battle was a practical exercise brought by Li Guan. Li Guan has always believed that the best soldiers were tempered from the fire of war, and only soldiers tested by blood and fire are truly good soldiers.

This is a copycat, but it is another nest for pirates.

Although pirates plunder the sea, many pirates do not set their nests on the sea. On the contrary, more pirates' nests are on the shore, or even in the mountains. Many pirates have two identities. Some pirates are on the surface of official troops and secretly robbers. Some are fishermen on the coast, and they often take the opportunity to do one or two tickets. There are also many professional pirates, but they usually hide well and have another identity on the shore.

They got married and had children, and even the village was an ordinary village, and no one knew that they were actually pirates.

Li Guan now leads special battles to attack such a parody. This small village in the mountains of Huangxian, Dengzhou, which looks ordinary, is a pirate tribe of generations. They do not go out to sea all year round, but only go out a few times a year. They also have a name on the sea, called Jing Pirates.

Because the pirates only took action a few times a year and were hiding very well, all of them have not been wiped out.

After the reorganization of the army in Shamen Town, Li Guan decided to train troops through war. He took turns to take out each battalion and wiped out the pirates and bandits near Dengzhou. The nests of many pirates were very secret, but Li Guan had professional intelligence spies from the Meihua Sect, and Gongsun had a lot of this information in his hands. Li Guan took them all over, discussed with the officers for a long time, and sent Li Wei's reconnaissance battalion to investigate the terrain and detailed information of each battalion. Then he handed the bandits to each battalion and capital below.

Due to their outstanding combat power, they all sent troops alone to wipe out the pirates. This group of pirates was very hiding. There were about 1,000 entourages in the entire village, including more than 200 young and strong people. There were wooden walls and two arrow towers at the gate of the village.

However, these are not difficult for special operations.

The flames ignited in the village. A man in his forties and a teenager broke out with a crossbow. He stood in the corner of the house and shot two arrows at the attacking special forces soldiers. Then he hid back and reloaded. After a while, the father and son again probed to shoot.

But as soon as they poked their heads out, seven or eight powerful arrows were already waiting for him and whistling. Several of them shot into the body of the man, and the man quickly avoided his reaction. He was only injured but not dead. But his son was inexperienced. A feather arrow penetrated from one end of his neck. The other end was exposed, and blood was sold out, weak, his eyes gradually dissipated, and he eventually died.

In the white morning mist, the special forces continued to clear away from all directions of the village and surrounded the Juyi Hall at the center.

The pirates who roared angrily and kept coming out of the houses, and even some women rushed forward with knives. A pirate couple snatched the door. The husband held a spear and a round shield. The wife followed behind with a big shield, holding a fishing fork. As soon as they rushed out of the door, Duan Shan's bow and arrow had already aimed at them.

An arrow flew away. As soon as the pirate wife stepped out of the threshold, she was shot into the calf by an arrow, and she screamed and fell to the ground. The pirate husband hurriedly turned around to watch. Duan Shan's second arrow flew again and hit the pirate's shoulder.

The smoke is getting thicker and thicker. The crossbow arrows are flying back and forth.

The battle did not last long, and the pirates suffered heavy casualties. They either fought desperately until they died in battle, or surrendered. The two pirates turned over and tried to escape. However, after a few steps, several spears suddenly poked out from the grass valley in front, stabbing the two horses down, and the war horses were also acquired by the soldiers of the Special War Capital.

The soldiers who won the special battles did not stop. They took advantage of their passion and began to clean the battlefield according to the standards learned in the teaching class every night and search for spoils. They began to search for the entire village.

After a while, the first group of soldiers returned to the open space in the village, and they brought back the prisoners who were hiding in the village. The number was about five or six hundred, all of them were pirate families, women, elderly and children.

"They hid in the cellar." The soldiers reported loudly that every household of the pirates had built a cellar, but for those who had received special training in special operations, it was almost nothing. The prisoners found were frightened and trembled one by one.

"Simply interrogate them and ask about all the money, food, and the hidden place of their ships." Li Guan only glanced at the pirates and was not interested. This group of pirates would definitely not have too much money, because many of their wives, children and elderly people looked yellow and hungry.

However, although the mosquito legs are small, they are also fleshy, and Li Guan does not intend to waste them. Training troops through war is also used to support war. While training troops, we must try our best to collect money and food from the bandits by suppressing bandits.

Zhang Chengye was full of surprise from beginning to end. It was so exciting to see with his own eyes that only 200 people in the special war had captured a pirate nest of thousands of people in such a short time. Hearing Li Guan's order, he couldn't help asking: "General, these people are all pirates. According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, after their crimes were judged, they would be executed, and their wives, girls and children would not be slaves."

Li Guan smiled and said, "It's too cheap to kill them. Although our Shamen Town is not short of people now, it's also short of money and food. We will sell all these pirates to Liaohai. Wouldn't it be better to exchange them for money, grain and materials?"

He was a little surprised, and he didn't expect that Li Yan would sell these people as slaves, so he didn't know how to answer for a while.

"Zhang Jianjun, if these slaves are killed, it is a waste of time. It is better to exchange for some practical things. Moreover, the money and food exchanged are not only used by our Shamen Town, but also can save some of them and offer them to the emperor in the future."

Hearing this, Zhang Chengye was immediately moved by Li Guan. Since there was still part of the emperor here, there was no problem. "Sell it, sell it all. The general should tell his soldiers to not kill these pirates at will."

The interrogation was completed quickly, and Duan Shan personally led people to find out some hidden money and grain. Finally, he counted the results of the battle. In this battle, he killed 173 pirates, including pirate women and young men with one brother's weapons, and captured 1,123 pirates in total. In addition, more than 2,000 stones of grain were seized, more than 8,000 stagnant of copper coins, and more than 3,000 pieces of cloth and silk. In addition, there were more than 300 cattle, horses, donkeys, mules, etc., and five pirate ships.

Although the seizures were less than expected, Li Guan was very satisfied with the special battle with zero deaths in this battle, with more than ten casualties. Although the harvest was not much, if it was compared to production, the bandit suppression would still come quickly.
