Chapter 16
The dog is so anxious that he jumps over the wall and even wants to bite his enemy before he dies.

But people's hearts are different, and they have different ways of dealing with life and death crises.

Some people drew their knives and fought for their lives, some knelt down and begged for mercy, and some were clever enough to turn around and go into the forest.

Kindness to the enemy is cruelty to oneself. Li Gui is merciless. No matter whether they are desperate or surrendering, he will not let anyone go.

Of the dozens of government officials, half of them were killed by him, and the rest were done by the pikemen.

Although a group of new recruits had seen blood before when they submitted their names, it was still different from a real fight.

There was no major chaos on the battlefield. This was entirely because the government officials on the opposite side were too useless and their resistance was weak.

But even so, more than a dozen people were injured, including some who were shot sideways by one of their own.

After this battle, these minions can be called soldiers.

Precisely because he had killed an official and was convicted of rebellion, the possibility of betrayal again was reduced accordingly.

Li Gui called Li Laoqi to clean up the battlefield and sent people to hunt down the government officials who fled into the forest, while he slowly moved his body to adapt to his once again strengthened body.

These government officials have all practiced martial arts, and they also have official duties. Although their luck is only light gray, dozens of strands added together are very impressive, making his body much stronger again.

Although he has not compared him carefully, Li Gui feels that now he should have surpassed his second uncle Li Liye in martial arts. Even if he boasts that he is "the best master in Yishui County", it is not a bad idea.

When he waved the steel knife in his hand again, Li Gui clearly felt that the fine steel knife he had obtained from the Qin family's blacksmith shop had become light and did not fit well in his hand.

But he didn't know whether the pair of axes that he couldn't pick up that day were suitable for his use now.

With this power, I wonder if it can kill a tiger with three punches?
Li Gui secretly compared it in his mind, thinking that as long as he had a steel knife in his hand, he could easily defeat the tiger, but if he was bare-handed, he would probably be unable to do so.

In this way, I'm afraid he is still not as good as Wu Er.

After the battlefield was cleaned up, Li Gui asked people to bury the government officials in a random place, and then asked the soldiers to sort out the weapons and other things. The looted property was also confiscated. After returning to the village, he would reward them based on their merits. , and then reorganized their ranks and withdrew their troops back to the stronghold.

It was the first time they went to the battlefield and they won a great victory, which made everyone extremely excited. On the way back, they whispered to each other and kept chattering.

If Li Gui hadn't been there to keep them in check, I'm afraid they would have blown themselves up to the sky.

A group of low-level untouchables hang out in the village all day long, never feeling that they are superior to others.

But today's fighting made them realize that they have the ability to take away the lives of others, and they are not useless.

After going to battle and seeing blood, your whole person will complete a transformation.

Looking at those government officials lying in a pool of blood, the respectable people who were once aloof and had to retreat to the roadside to salute respectfully when they saw them are now like fragile chickens, harvested by them wantonly, once bound by the shackles of the law. The living beast gradually escapes from its cage.

The current chatterbox was a reaction caused by the entangled fear and excitement after they killed someone, so Li Gui did not scold them.

At this time, it is better to let them vent their emotions through words than to keep them in their hearts and eventually go crazy in the village.

Next time they encounter the enemy, they won't be as panicked as this time.

Get used to killing!
After returning to the village, Li Gui held a banquet and began to celebrate.

At the celebration banquet, Li Gui rewarded everyone for his merits. Not only did he give away all the loot, but he also gave away part of the gold and silver he had obtained from the previous robbery as a reward.

Everyone who participated in the war had merit, but the reward was not much. Only those who killed the enemy were rewarded very generously, so much that everyone was greedy for it.

In this era, it is useless to talk to them about any reason. It is natural for them to serve as soldiers and get paid. Only money can mobilize their enthusiasm.

If it wasn’t for money, who would be a bandit?

After the rewards were given, a banquet was held. There was plenty of food and wine, but only the pikemen had it, even those who had not gone into battle. However, for the auxiliary soldiers who had not been selected as soldiers, the supply was limited.

Li Gui wanted to use this method to let those who were elected gain a sense of identity.Sure enough, seeing the poor Haha who had been living together in poverty eating meat, drinking from a big bowl, and blowing the cowhide loudly made the eyes of this group of people turn red with envy.

But the reason why these people were selected as auxiliary soldiers was because they were weak, old and other reasons and could not fight in battle. No matter how envious they were, there was nothing they could do about it.

But their envious expressions could not be concealed, and those bandits who were still a little afraid of death suddenly felt that fighting on the battlefield was not bad.

This girl is called a bandit!
In the past, when I followed a guy like Zhao Heitou, my life was very tight, and there was no way I could feel happy at all.

The first half of my life has been in vain!

If a person dies and a bird looks up to the sky, he will not die for tens of millions of years. Anyway, he will only die. If he comes to this world, he will die if he does not live happily. It is really a big loss.

Bowls of bad wine were poured down the throats, which also ignited the wild fire in the hearts of these people, burning their eyes red and blackening their hearts.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Gui stood up and raised his arms:
"My dear friends, the government is now corrupt, corrupt officials are rampant, and the people are in dire straits. We should uphold God's will and do what is right for God!"

A group of bandits, like fanatical believers, raised their arms and shouted:

"Do it for the sky!"

"Do it for the sky!"

"Do it for the sky!"

……

Taking advantage of the heat, Li Gui called Li Laoqi and erected the big flag that had been prepared long ago.

The trunk of the tree, as thick as a bowl, is twenty feet long, with a large rectangular flag hanging on it, five feet long and three feet wide. The flag is embroidered with gold thread and has four red letters on a black background, "Practice for Heaven". Flying in the wind.

Li Guirang erected the big flag in front of the square. You can see this flag every time you train in the future.

Since ancient times, Chinese people have always paid attention to what they say is just and right. No matter what the true feelings are, this moral high ground must be occupied first.

If the heroes of Liangshan can set up this banner, of course Li Gui can too.

After having the village flag, the group of killers suddenly seemed to have a backbone. No matter how many evil things they did, they could still deceive themselves that they were doing justice for heaven.

Even if you get to the Palace of Hell in the future and are liquidated, you can always make a few excuses and say that you are just following orders and are not evil people.

Li Gui stood under the banner and began to lecture generously:
"My dear friends, bandits are gathering around us now, and people's resentment is boiling. We must act on behalf of Heaven, wipe them out one by one, annex the mountains, unify Yishui, and rebuild a bright and prosperous world!"

The crowd was silent for a moment, then got excited, and everyone raised their arms and shouted:

"Do it for the sky!"

"Annex the mountains!"

"Unify Yishui!"

It seemed normal at first, but it quickly turned sour.

"Grab money!"

"Grab food!"

"Snatch a woman!"
