178: Chapter 178 Destroying the Li Family

"Since Deputy Director Li Han does not welcome our Militia Battalion, our Militia Battalion will not enter the town!"

Looking at Deputy Director Li Han above the city wall, Yang Juncheng suppressed the roar in his heart and spoke in a cold tone.

After finishing, Yang Juncheng had the soldiers of the Militia Battalion clean up the battlefield, then took the corpses of the Militia Battalion soldiers and the Qingyan Mountain Bandit Camp captives, and returned in the direction of the Bandit Camp.

After returning to the Bandit Camp, Yang Juncheng selected one thousand strong men from among the Qingyan Mountain Bandit Camp captives, subdued them, issued them weapons and equipment, and conducted simple training.

In the dead of night, Yang Juncheng took the one thousand strong men selected from the Qingyan Mountain bandits, equipped with fine weapons and gear, dressed in bandit attire, and quietly left the Bandit Camp, rushing toward Qingyan Town.

During the day, Yang Juncheng did not want to become a wanted criminal of the Great Qian Empire, nor did he want to become a wanted criminal of the Zhenbei Army.

Therefore, Yang Juncheng endured it and did not immediately send troops to attack Qingyan Town.

Now that it was dark, Yang Juncheng directly disguised himself as a bandit and led one thousand Qingyan Mountain bandits to attack Qingyan Town.

Yang Juncheng's plan was simple: disguise as bandits, break into Qingyan Town, and kill everyone from the Li family in Qingyan Town.

Afterward, he would quietly leave the city, bring the soldiers of the Militia Battalion to attack Qingyan Town, drive away the bandits, take over Qingyan Town, and bring Qingyan Town under his rule.

Although this plan was imperfect and had many problems that could not fool a clever person.

But Yang Juncheng did not care; as long as he could fool some people and help cover things up for a while, it would be enough.

After having some time to develop, Yang Juncheng would not care even if he became a wanted criminal of the Great Qian Empire and the Zhenbei Army.

By then, at worst, he would just rebel against the Great Qian Empire; it was no big deal!

Soon, Yang Juncheng arrived outside Qingyan Town with one thousand bandits.

At this time, the guards in Qingyan Town had long since found a secret corner to hide in and had fallen asleep!

After all, the bandits of Qingyan Mountain had already been wiped out, and since Qingyan Mountain was safe, who would still honestly keep watch!

Seeing this, Yang Juncheng moved his body and quickly approached the city wall of Qingyan Town.

Immediately after, Yang Juncheng threw the hook in his hand onto the city wall, tugged on the rope attached to the hook, and after finding it was secure, climbed up the wall using the rope.

After Yang Juncheng climbed onto the city wall, he quickly walked down the wall, preparing to open the city gate to let the one thousand bandits into Qingyan Town.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

At this moment, a guard who was sleeping in the corner of the city gate was startled awake and immediately let out a series of shrill screams.

"Since you are seeking your own death, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Hearing the guard's cries, Yang Juncheng shook his head, muttered helplessly, then moved his body close to the guard's side and pierced his neck with a spear, causing blood to splatter as the guard died on the spot.

Afterward, Yang Juncheng quickly walked to the city gate and opened it.

Immediately, one thousand well-equipped bandits entered Qingyan Town, and under Yang Juncheng's leadership, they rushed directly toward the Li family of Qingyan Town.

During this process, the guards of Qingyan Town did not dare to attack the bandits at all; they only followed behind the bandits, shouting and calling for friends, wanting to wait until there were more people before attacking the bandits.

However, over ninety-nine percent of the residents of Qingyan Town, upon hearing the news that the bandits had broken in, did not come out to attack the bandits. Instead, they blocked their doors, picked up firewood choppers and kitchen knives, hid in their rooms trembling, and secretly prayed that the bandits would not come to their homes.

Soon, Yang Juncheng arrived outside the Li family compound in Qingyan Town with the one thousand bandits.

At this time, the guards of the Li family compound had long been prepared for battle.

"Kill!"

Looking at the fully equipped Li family guards, Yang Juncheng shouted, brandished his refined steel spear, and charged toward the Li family compound first.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

The one thousand bandits roared in unison, gripped their weapons tightly, and followed closely behind Yang Juncheng, charging toward the Li family compound.

"The Patriarch has ordered: kill one bandit, reward of ten taels of silver! Kill one bandit squad leader, reward of one hundred taels of silver! Kill one bandit captain, reward of one thousand taels of silver! Kill the bandit leader, reward of ten thousand taels of silver!"

At this moment, Wang Tong, the commander of the Li family guards, holding a refined steel broadsword, emerged from the Li family compound, shouting loudly with a face full of Evil Qi.

Amidst the shouting, Wang Tong raised the refined steel broadsword in his hand and took the initiative to meet Yang Juncheng, the bandit leader.

Wang Tong's goal was simple: to kill Yang Juncheng, the bandit leader, to strike a blow to the bandits' morale and make them collapse on their own.

As Wang Tong charged at Yang Juncheng, the Li family guards also roared, raising their weapons with faces full of excitement and agitation, rushing toward the bandits.

The rewards offered by the Li family were truly too generous, causing the morale of the Li family guards to soar. Their eyes were filled with greed and excitement; they couldn't wait to kill all the bandits immediately and claim the rich rewards!

"Wild Blade Slash!"

After charging to Yang Juncheng's side, a fierce light flashed in Wang Tong's eyes. He roared, mobilized the strength within his body, swung his refined steel broadsword, and unleashed a sharp blade technique, hacking directly at Yang Juncheng, looking as if he wanted to cut Yang Juncheng in two.

However, before Wang Tong's refined steel broadsword could touch Yang Juncheng, his neck was easily pierced by the refined steel spear in Yang Juncheng's hand. Blood splattered, and he collapsed to the ground, becoming a cold corpse.

After killing Wang Tong with one spear strike, a fierce light flickered in Yang Juncheng's eyes. He moved his body and rushed into the crowd of Li family guards. The refined steel spear in his hand thrust out rapidly, easily killing one Li family guard after another.

In a matter of moments, Yang Juncheng had killed over a hundred Li family guards, causing the expressions of the Li family guards to change drastically. Their eyes were filled with terror, and they dared not continue fighting Yang Juncheng, turning around and fleeing into the interior of the Li family compound.

At this moment, the one thousand bandits' morale soared. While letting out excited shouts, they brandished their refined steel weapons and chased after the Li family guards.

In just half an hour, the hundreds of Li family guards were slaughtered, and the servants and maidservants of the Li family also died tragically under the sharp weapons of the bandits.

At the same time, under Yang Juncheng's orders, the Li family patriarch, Deputy Director Li Han, as well as the direct Disciples and relatives of the Li family, were slaughtered by the one thousand bandits, becoming broken corpses.

With this, the Li family of Qingyan Town was completely annihilated, and not a single person survived!

And the Li family's assets all fell under Yang Juncheng's control.

When the sky was about to brighten, the Li family's liquid assets were tallied up.

"Sixty-eight thousand six hundred taels of gold, over one million three hundred sixty-seven thousand taels of silver, over three million copper coins, thirty-six granaries filled with grain, over five thousand sets of armor and weapons, as well as a large amount of other items—the Li family was truly filthy rich!"

Looking at the Li family's liquid assets, a look of surprise and joy flashed in Yang Juncheng's eyes, and he couldn't help but sigh softly.
