Chapter 333
Picking up the leaks
Not all the servants in the official's house that were stolen last night were asleep, and patrols were carried out as usual, but so many people didn't hear a single sound. So many things were moved away without alerting anyone, and there is simply nothing human can do.
.
Many people began to think about ghosts and gods. People in ancient times believed in this, so both Xue Wanhe and other officials were afraid. Instead of sending people to search for the lost things, they secretly investigated, but there was no useful information at all.
No.
Jing Yike didn't care what happened to the families of those officials in Fucheng who had been stolen. She wanted to get weapons.
Jing Yi thought about it for a while and decided that he still couldn't get weapons from the nearby garrison. After all, these weapons were to be distributed to new recruits, which would be easily exposed and could easily arouse the vigilance of people around him.
Jing Yi decided to go further away. Thinking about the news that some spies she sent out came back from other places, she decided to try her luck in places with riots.
Jing Yi rode a fast horse and traveled more than a thousand miles to Xingzhou. Because of the serious disaster here, the court not only refused to provide relief to the victims, but local officials continued to impose excessive taxes, which made the people unable to survive and launched riots.
The imperial court did not allocate funds to appease the people, but instead sent a large army to suppress it. This also made the local situation increasingly chaotic. More and more people joined the rebel army.
This time the imperial court sent a hundred thousand troops, and Jing Yi thought this was a good opportunity to collect weapons.
When Jingyi arrived in Xingzhou, he happened to catch up with the battle between the Yiguo army and the rebel army.
Jing Yi first found the military camp where the Yiguo army was stationed. He sneaked into the camp while it was empty, stole a set of military uniforms and pretended to be a soldier. After checking the terrain, he collected all the rations from the granary of the Yiguo military camp and the weapons in the arsenal.
Evacuated in the same way.
Jingyi emptied the food and weapons and left the military camp. Fortunately, her lucky bag was big enough and there was more than one, otherwise it would have been difficult to handle so many things.
Jing Yi rode her horse and raised her wrist, looked at Xiao Jin who was wrapped around her wrist, and directly sent some energy to Xiao Jin with her supernatural powers, also to reward Xiao Jin.
Xiao Jin on his wrist was very happy to receive a burst of pure energy, and the leaves on the vine shook happily.
Jing Yi smiled and said: "Xiao Jin, my army is short of weapons. We have to work hard next. After collecting these weapons, we will go home."
Jing Yi followed the traces to the battlefield, collected his horse, and lurked on a high slope to watch the fierce fighting below. The sounds of people shouting for death, the clash of swords, and the neighing of war horses were mixed together, and the blood and flesh were flying everywhere.
Although Jingyi had already experienced the scene at the southwest border, it was still very shocking.
People in these ancient times really didn't take their lives seriously and fought without hesitation. Those wearing uniforms were obviously the regular troops of the Yi Kingdom, and those wearing messy clothes were definitely the rebels.
The rebel army was mostly composed of farmers and had a variety of weapons, including knives, guns, swords, hammers, and even hoes and sickles.
The rebel army was obviously not as powerful as the well-trained regular army, and more people were killed than the regular army. However, the rebel army was really desperate, and the regular army of Yi State was not far behind, and the casualties on each other were not small.
There were a lot of cavalry on the battlefield, and there were also a lot of people riding horses on the rebel side. After these people fell off their horses, their horses scattered without anyone to control them, and they ran away from the battlefield and into the surrounding woods.
Jing Yi saw that these were excellent war horses, and they were what she needed. Her cavalry battalion had been built a long time ago, but there were not enough war horses. Now the soldiers practiced riding horses in rotation. War horses also need to rest, which is impossible.
The soldiers have been allowed to continue practicing riding horses.
She was also thinking about where to get a group of war horses. Aren't these war horses used to deliver food to her?
The fighting was in full swing on the battlefield, which was perfect for her to fish in troubled waters.
Jingyi no longer had time to watch the fighting on the battlefield, so she started to get busy. She used her powers to induce plants and used the grass that horses liked to eat to attract war horses. As long as the war horses ran into the surrounding woods, it would be easier for her to move.
Jingyi was like a ghost around the battlefield, collecting all the horses that ran into the woods into a lucky bag.
Jing Yi couldn't help but touch Xiao Jin. Fortunately, the lucky bag can hold living animals, and as long as the animals are released, they will regain consciousness without any sequelae.
Jingyi saw that the Yi Kingdom's one hundred thousand army only had twenty to thirty thousand cavalry. In ancient times, war horses were scarce, so being able to equip tens of thousands of cavalry was already a very high level.
The rebels' war horses were probably looted from various places. Although there were not many, they must have been in the thousands.
Jing Yi doesn't ask for more. She will be satisfied if she can collect several thousand war horses. She will find opportunities to collect them slowly in the future.
She had already thought about it. It would take time to breed war horses. After she returned, she would arrange for someone to build a horse farm specifically to breed war horses.
But she doesn't plan to let go of the war horses of the Yi Kingdom army. In the future, she can visit the various garrison camps of the Yi Kingdom from time to time. Weapons, food, grass, and war horses are all ready-made. By collecting them, she not only collects supplies for herself, but also weakens the enemy.
The strength kills two birds with one stone.
Jingyi was very busy around the battlefield. When some war horses were injured, Jingyi used supernatural powers to help heal them. The war horses that were finally obtained could not die.
The rebel army had a large number of people, but they were still at a disadvantage when facing the regular army. In the end, they fought and retreated.
When Jing Yi saw that the battlefield was moving, it was great, so she could pick up the weapons scattered on the battlefield.
Jing Yi saw that the battlefield was too big and the battle line was very long. After the battle, the victorious side would definitely come back to clean up the battlefield. If she had to pick up weapons one by one, she would probably not be able to clean up the battlefield after the battle.
There’s so much to pick up.
Jingyi simply stopped picking them up. Instead, she took out a handful of seeds and started scattering them on the edge of the woods on the edge of the battlefield. Then she used her powers, and the seeds sprouted quickly, and soon the buds grew into vines.
The vines began to grow branches again. The vines became longer and longer, and began to spread toward the battlefield.
In less than half an hour, the entire battlefield was covered with green vines. Then the branches under the vines slowly wrapped around all the metal objects on the ground. Then the vines slowly faded away like a tide, revealing the ground.
Not even the last weapon is left.
Jingyi put away the weapons wrapped up by the vines in the forest.
Later, Xiao Jin learned that Jing Yi did not need to spawn vines anymore. He flew directly out to collect weapons on the battlefield for Jing Yi. Not only weapons, but also metal objects were collected back by Xiao Jin.
The silver and copper coins were also made of metal, and Xiao Jin also took them back. Jing Yi looked at the gold, silver and jewelry that Xiao Jin had taken back and shook her head with a smile, because Xiao Jin had made another fortune.
In this war, Yi's 100,000 regular troops won, but they also lost tens of thousands, which can be said to be a heavy loss.
However, when the Yiguo army came back to clean up the battlefield and wanted to recover some weapons, they found that there was nothing left except corpses on the ground.
