The Proof of the Heavens Begins with The Legend of the Condor Heroes

As he had to go to Hongze Lake to suppress the bandits today, Fang Hao could only put aside the fact that his Arhat Subduing Demon Skills showed that he had not yet “entered the doorstep”, and wait until he came back from suppressing the bandits.

Walking out of the room and arriving at the square in front of the stronghold, the five hundred soldiers and horses had already been organized by Xu Da.

The Yokoyama righteous army was mostly composed of Mingjiao followers. Even the refugees who were absorbed later were organized into an army according to the Five Elements Flags system.

In the Huaixi area where Haozhou is located, the Hongshui and Ruijin flags have the largest number of followers.

Therefore, most of Fang Hao's troops were composed of the Sharp Gold Bannermen who carried bows and arrows, javelins in one hand and flying axes in the other, and the Flood Bannermen who carried spray guns with poisonous arrows.

They can fight in both long-range and close-range combat, this is the Ming Cult followers transformed into a military.

"Let's go!" After inspecting the team, Fang Hao led 500 followers to Hongze Lake.

In the past two years, thanks to God's blessing, there have not been many natural disasters and the grain harvest has been quite good. However, the situation where the rich have fields and the poor have no place to live is still happening everywhere. The widening gap between the rich and the poor has led to acute social contradictions.

Therefore, even in years without natural disasters, refugees and beggars can still be seen everywhere due to the oppression of the ruling class.

Correspondingly, mountain bandits and robbers also emerged in endlessly, and the government was unable to suppress them all, so fortunately they just let it go.

As long as these gang forces did not affect the Yuan court's rule, they would just pretend they saw nothing and ignore it.

The Hongze Gang, Poyang Gang, Giant Whale Gang and even their own Hengshan Yi, actually all developed in this way.

However, compared to other gangs which are just a group of bandits, the organizational structure of the Yokoyama Righteous Army is no different from that of a regular army. Take the team led by Fang Hao for example, almost everyone in the team is wearing armor, although it is only half-body armor, which is still an extremely remarkable achievement.

In order to avoid attracting the attention of the government, the Hengshan rebel army hid during the day and moved at night, and even divided their troops into several groups. Finally, three days later, they arrived at the shore of Hongze Lake.

At that time, the information collected by Tingfengtang was also sent to Fang Hao.

"The high-end combat force of the Hongze bandits is only the Four Heroes of Hongze, the rest are vulnerable. However, considering that they will send out at least three teams to plunder during the day, it is best to act at night so that we can catch them all in one fell swoop." Fang Hao held a map in his hand and listened to Xu Da's combat deployment.

It has to be said that among the generals who have left their names in history, Xu Da had a great talent for leading troops in battles.

To sum up his idea, it was the classic tactic of "surround three sides and leave one side open" for besieging a city. Fang Hao felt that there was no problem, so he let Xu Da do it. What he had to do was to deal with these tough guys, the Four Heroes of Hongze.

By late at night, the Hongze bandits who had gone out to rob returned to the village one by one. Xu Da was not in a hurry, because ordinary people would be least energetic in the second half of the night.

It was not until midnight that Xu Da ordered his rebel troops to act together.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

The first to attack were the members of the Ruijin Banner in the rebel army. They used their internal strength to throw the flying axes in their hands.

Under the cold moonlight, the flying axes accurately hit the sentries on the village gate.

However, as old thieves, the Four Heroes of Hongze had already deployed secret sentries near the open sentries.

Soon, sharp whistling arrows shot up into the sky, awakening the sleeping Hongze bandits. The elite bandits, including the Four Heroes of Hongze, all came out of the village to meet the enemy.

"Kill!" Xu Da said fearlessly.

Since the sneak attack failed, then we will use a strong attack. With the strength of the Yokoyama righteous army, it will be easy to capture mere pirates!

Sure enough, after the close combat, the Hengshan righteous army almost directly crushed the Hongze bandits. How could they fight this battle when they were inferior to them in combat effectiveness, equipment, and even momentum? There was no way to fight!
The Hongze bandits were almost defeated at the first blow when faced with the Hengshan rebel army led by Xu Da.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the four villains of Hongze tried to escape, but were blocked by Fang Hao.

"Where did you come from, pretty boy? Get out of my way if you know what's best for you!" said the third of the Four Heroes of Hengshan. "You are just a bandit, and you dare to act so arrogantly? Today is the day you will die!" A fierce look flashed in Fang Hao's eyes.

He was seen rushing into the enemy camp with a ring-handled sword in hand, and fighting with the four evil beasts of Hongze.

Fang Hao was the only way out of Xu Da's "surround three and leave one" tactic. If the four villains of Hongze wanted to escape, they had to get past him, so the four of them used all their strength and attacked together.

"Shh! Shh!"

The third and fourth brothers of the Four Righteous Men of Hongze, holding spears, attacked first from the left and right.

The gun is as sharp as a dragon and full of murderous aura, he is worthy of being a desperado who loves blood on the blade.

Fang Hao slashed diagonally with his knife, deflecting one of the bullets. He spun his body and dodged the other bullet like a phantom.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

At this moment, the second of the Four Righteous Men of Hongze threw several heart-piercing darts at Fang Hao.

Fang Hao waved his knife and easily knocked the darts away.

In this attack, Fang Hao used some skill, and the two darts bounced off the boss who was punching at him.

Several bone-piercing nails came out of his hands at some point. These hidden weapons were wrapped in the internal force of the Holy Fire Token and were as fast as an afterimage. The second of the Four Heroes of Hongze avoided two of them, but was pierced through the shoulder blade by the last one, and was seriously injured.

At the same time, the third and fourth brothers of the Four Heroes of Hongze attacked again with guns, using the "Eight Directions Wind and Rain" move from the Five Tigers Breaking Door Knife. The ring-handled knives in their hands turned into afterimages, making it difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake.

The two were dazzled for a moment and had to keep waving their guns to block.

The long knife in Fang Hao's hand turned into a cold light, pierced through the gun body protection, and pierced the throat of the third of the Four Righteous Men of Hongze.

"Third brother!" The eldest and fourth brothers became furious upon seeing this. Even the second brother, who was injured in the shoulder, waved his sword with his left hand and stabbed Fang Hao.

"You are quite brave!" Although the Four Heroes of Hongze committed heinous crimes, they did not lose their bravery. Knowing that the situation was impossible, they still launched a desperate attack on Fang Hao.

"In that case, I will grant your wish!" The next moment, Fang Hao's aura changed, his movements became swift and strange, and his aura was like a madman.

The power of the Holy Fire Order was erratic. No matter how the three attacked, they couldn't even touch the corner of Fang Hao's clothes.

"Shh!"

The long sword in Fang Hao's hand turned into an afterimage, and he used the sword to "create wind with a whistle". The wind followed the sword's momentum and slashed diagonally, hitting the chest and abdomen of the second of the Four Heroes of Hongze.

In an instant, internal organs and blood splattered all over the ground. With such an injury, he would definitely die!
At this moment, Lao Er grabbed Fang Hao's ring-handled sword and spurted blood from his mouth, saying, "Brother, take advantage of this moment!"

"Second brother!" The eldest brother of the Four Righteous Men of Hongze exerted all his strength and threw a punch, hitting Fang Hao directly in the face.

"Second brother!" The fourth of the Four Righteous Men of Hongze thrust his spear straight at Fang Hao's back.

Being attacked from both sides, Fang Hao remained fearless. He decisively took away the sword with both hands, dodged the spear by leaning sideways, and shot out a bone-piercing nail with a flick of his left hand, which broke the fourth brother's chest and killed him.

He gathered his energy in his right hand and swung his fist, and the "Crushing Stone and Crushing Jade" move in his Jade-Breaking Fist suddenly exploded.

The leader of the Four Righteous People in Hongze was knocked out with one punch, causing his meridians to be cut off and he died instantly! (End of this chapter)
