Chapter 107 Meeting the Robbers Again
Chapter 107 Meeting the Robbers Again
The Tiger Power Guards were a battalion of troops that Liu Shihao had founded when he was a military commander. At that time, they were called the Tiger Power Guards. This team of hundreds of people followed Liu Shihao in conquering the Northern Wilderness, suppressing rebellions, and became famous as one of the most powerful armies in the world.
Later, Liu Shihao was dismissed from his position as military commander and demoted to a small county lieutenant in Anping County. The Huwei Guards were also disbanded, and nearly half of them chose to become slaves, leading their families to follow Liu Shihao to this small border county.
Soon after, Liu Shihao was granted the title of Le'an Earl, with a total area of 3,000 households and 300 square miles (less than 80 square kilometers), and was allowed to have a private army. Liu Shihao simply reorganized the former Tiger Guards into a battalion, which was the Tiger Guards.
Initially, the name Iron Guard referred to the iron will of the soldiers. But later, as the business of Green Willow Company grew, the Liu family gained more money, and the equipment of the Iron Guard became better and better. More than a decade ago, everyone could wear black iron armor, and the name Iron Guard was truly worthy of its name.
Naturally, most of the first generation of Iron Guards have already retired, and most of the current Iron Guards are their descendants and young brave men selected from Anping County. To become an Iron Guard, one must first become a slave of the Liu family, but the Iron Guards do not regard it as a disgrace, but rather as an honor. Because they know that once they become an Iron Guard, as long as the Liu family does not fall, their families will have enough food and clothing, and their descendants will also be vigorously cultivated by the Liu family and have the opportunity to succeed.
Moreover, the Tiger Guards were a legal private army recognized by the imperial court, with military records and military status, and the equipment and weapons they could use were not comparable to those of civilian guards. Not to mention the sophisticated weapons and armor, each Iron Guard was also equipped with a warhorse and different weights of vests.
The Tiger Power Iron Guards are well-treated and well-armored. Those who are selected to join the Iron Guards have naturally gone through multiple rounds of screening, and their combat power is naturally good. Although most of the Iron Guards are only cultivators at the Apprentice level or even the Entry level, their actual combat power is not weak. Especially after being equipped with armor, powerful crossbows, and war horses, their individual combat power can completely fight against low-level cultivators with ordinary combat power. If it is a group battle, the Tiger Power Iron Guards will have an advantage.
Since the Tiger Power Iron Guards rushed out of Anping County and began to exterminate the enemies of the Liu family throughout Anya County, the low-level warriors of the Liu family's enemies have been in bad luck. The Tiger Power Iron Guards are often in teams of 20 to 30 people. With the cooperation of the Green Willow Guards and their peripheral forces, they rely on the mobility of their war horses to constantly roam around looking for disadvantaged enemy teams to encircle and annihilate. Once they encounter a powerful earth-level cultivator, they will quickly flee away and not fight head-on, but only harass with the speed of their horses and the range of their crossbows and strong bows.
After a period of time, the enemies of the Liu family who entered Anya County had lost 70% to 80% of their mid-level and low-level combat power, and the remaining ones could only follow the strong cultivators, and dared not search for Liu Feiyun alone. However, these cultivators were limited in number after all, and could form several teams. Once the number of teams was small, it would be more difficult to track down Liu Feiyun.
Especially with the cooperation of the Tiger Power Iron Guards, several cultivators of the Liu family also started to fight back, and had killed three cultivators, more than thirty cultivators, and seriously injured two cultivators and more than a dozen cultivators. This made many people want to retreat. Especially since Liu Feiyun seemed to have disappeared for more than a month, and no matter how hard they tried to track him down, they could not find any trace. Therefore, most of the enemies of the Liu family began to retreat after suffering heavy losses and having no hope of killing Liu Feiyun.
After Liu Feiyun left Anya City and headed north again, he never encountered the Liu family's enemy troops again.
"It seems that I have finally tricked those annoying guys away!" Liu Feiyun thought to himself as he sat in the carriage, looking at the setting sun.
On this day, no martial artists of unknown origin came to him for treatment. Only a few Green Willow guards came to buy some ordinary healing medicine. From them, he learned that most of his enemies had been driven out of Anya County.
"Maybe! I should walk faster!" Liu Feiyun was thinking when he suddenly heard someone shouting in front of him: "I opened this mountain and planted these trees. If you want to pass through here, you have to leave money for passage!"
"Robber!?" Liu Feiyun opened the front door of the carriage and looked out. He saw a tall but not big man standing in the middle of the road carrying a wooden stick as thick as a bowl with green leaves on it. He had his eyes wide open and looked at him fiercely.
At this time, another loud shout was heard from behind the car: "If you don't pay, you will be killed and not buried!" Liu Feiyun leaned back and saw another person jumping down from a small mound beside the road, also carrying a thick wooden stick, cutting off his retreat.
Liu Feiyun was surprised and couldn't help but blurt out: "Could it be that I have been robbed again?"
"That's right! If you don't agree, I will dismantle this carriage and use it to make coffins for you!" the robber in front shouted fiercely.
When Liu Feiyun saw the two robbers clearly, he sighed in his heart! "Maybe! These two are really robbers! They shouldn't be my enemies! But, these two robbers are too shabby!"
The reason why Liu Feiyun thought so was because of the current appearance of the two robbers:
Both of them were much taller than ordinary people. According to Liu Feiyun's previous life's standards, they were at least 1.95 meters tall. But they were also very thin, like two skinny skeletons. Their clothes were tattered, with patches next to each other. From a distance, they looked like monks' robes with many holes. The rotten straw sandals on their feet were almost unrecognizable. The two were obviously poor people, but they seemed to have cultivation and were martial artists, which was strange.
Liu Shihu looked at Liu Feiyun and babbled a few times. Liu Feiyun looked at the two people in tattered clothes, shook his head, and whispered: "They are all poor people, just give them a lesson!"
Liu Shihu nodded, then leaped up and rushed towards the man in front of him. The robber in front saw that Liu Shihu was very fast and was about to get close to him in a flash, and was also shocked: Brothers, can we be so unlucky that we encounter a master in our first robbery?
However, he still made up his mind and threw the stick in his hand at Liu Shihu. The stick was called a stick, but it was actually a tree trunk as thick as a bowl, with branches and twigs not trimmed and many green leaves hanging on it. The stick weighed at least several dozen kilograms, but judging by the force and momentum he threw it, it seemed as if he was throwing a small wooden stick weighing several kilograms.
Liu Shihu had fought many times and had learned a lot about judging his opponent's true combat power and cultivation level. He might not be able to judge accurately those with higher realms than him, but he could guess a little bit about those with lower realms. When he first saw the breathing and movements of the two people, he guessed that their cultivation was not higher than his, and they were just entering the realm of cultivators. But the man's strength at this time made him wonder: Did he make a wrong judgment? This person actually has the cultivation level of a mid-level cultivator?
