Lei Ying stood up and looked at the imperial army, and found that there were still thousands of troops.

The number has not increased.

This left him puzzled.

Is it possible that you can attack Vulture Mountain with such a small army?

Aren't you just asking for death?

"Lei Zhan, notify the lower level to triple the number of patrols.

We must prevent the imperial army from circling behind and climbing up the cliff to attack us."

"Alright, if they dare to attack us, I will make sure they are wiped out."

Second in command Lei Zhan's face was filled with excitement.

Li Ye rode his horse and stopped in front of the army.

At this time, several shopkeepers came forward and saluted Li Ye.

"Greetings, Your Highness!"

"No need to be so polite, my dear shopkeepers. We are counting on you today."

"We rushed here immediately after receiving the letter from His Highness and will do our best."

Li Ye nodded slightly.

He waved to Xiao Cui, and Xiao Cui handed him a homemade trumpet.

Li Ye held a loud speaker and shouted to the front: "This general is the prince of the current dynasty. He is here to clear out Vulture Mountain under the order of the emperor.

Who is the head of the mountain? Do you dare to talk to this prince face to face? "

The bandits on Vulture Mountain heard the shouting and became agitated.

They all stretched their necks to look over here.

They really couldn't understand why the Dayuan Dynasty sent a prince to lead troops to attack them?

Is there no decent general in the court?

Or is it that this prince is good at fighting?

Are you sure you can take over Vulture Mountain?

Having shouted at them, Thunder Eagle refused to give in.

He stood at the city gate and answered loudly: "I am the boss of Vulture Mountain, what do you want to say?"

Li Ye didn't care whether the other party could see clearly or not, and his face was full of smiles.

He bowed to the other party and said, "So you are the boss of Vulture Mountain. Nice to meet you!"

"Stop being polite and just use whatever tricks you have!

None of us in Vulture Mountain are cowards.

If you don't want to die, retreat quickly to avoid unnecessary casualties."

Li Ye said loudly: "This prince does not want to start a war.

After all, many people in the village are innocent.

All of you heroes are descendants of the remnants of the previous dynasty, and you are not extremely evil.

In addition, this prince has sent people to conduct a detailed investigation. Your stronghold did not rob local people everywhere, nor did you hurt people without reason.

It further proves that you have principles in your actions, unlike other bandits."

Lei Ying sneered: "Stop talking nonsense! What do you want?

Could it be that he led a thousand-man army to our Vulture Mountain just to praise us?"

"That's not the case! This prince came here to give you a good future."

"Give us a future? Are you here to persuade us to surrender?

I advise you to give up this idea.

We farm and support ourselves in the mountains and do not need to be oppressed by your court.

Life is so carefree.

You have sent troops many times, but each time you have returned in defeat.

Why should we surrender to the imperial court?"

Li Ye patiently persuaded him: "That's wrong! Maybe you are the boss and feel free and at ease.

But have you ever thought about the ordinary people living on Vulture Mountain?

Can they have enough food and warm clothes?

Can we get treatment when we are sick?

Do you intend to make your descendants stay in Vulture Mountain for eternity, never being able to contact the outside world?"

"Hmph, don't say such nice things! At least we don't have to worry about being harmed by corrupt officials in the mountains, and we don't have to pay taxes.

We live on our own strength, which is much better than the outside world."

Li Ye said: "Even if you are right! But have you ever thought that the Dayuan Dynasty is becoming more and more powerful.

Even if I failed to wipe you out before, is it possible that I won't be able to do so in the future?

When the army surrounds you, you won't even have the chance to surrender."

Lei Ying looked unconvinced: "Don't try to scare me with these words. Let's talk about it after we can get to the mountain gate!"

Li Yeyi remained calm and said, "Besides the main road leading to Vulture Mountain, there are four other small paths. Although they are not steep, they can allow a small number of people to enter and exit the mountain village in an emergency.

These roads have been blocked by me!

There are several springs on Vulture Mountain that can provide you with drinking water and irrigation.

But these springs and waterways are outside.

As long as these waterways are blocked, it will be difficult to get water in the mountains.

Not to mention watering the fields.

As long as we besiege you, sooner or later you will run out of food.

Although it is easy to defend you on the mountain and difficult to attack, it is also very easy to surround you.

As long as we hold the key points, none of you can get out.

Third, the vegetation on the mountain is now at its most lush.

If this prince sends people to set fire to the mountain, how long can you people hold out?

..."

Every word Li Ye said accurately hit the other party's soft spot.

Lei Ying's face turned pale.

This is the biggest secret of Vulture Mountain, and no one has known it for many years.

How did a prince know?

Could there be a traitor on Vulture Mountain?

Lei Ying's heart skipped a beat.

But he quickly shook his head and threw the thought out of his mind.

He believed that no one in the mountain village would betray him.

There is no chance of betrayal.

Gritting his teeth, he shouted at Li Ye: "Then you give it a try. Even if you die, all the villagers in Bald Eagle Mountain will drag you down with them."

Li Ye saw that the other party's psychological defense was about to collapse.

The chances of winning increased a few points.

"Don't get excited! This prince has already said that I am not leading the army here to start a war with you.

But I want to give you a good future!

And there are some people I want you to meet!"

After Li Ye finished speaking, he gestured to several shopkeepers.

Several shopkeepers walked forward a distance and greeted Lei Ying.

"Boss, how are you?"

A trace of panic flashed across Lei Ying's face: "Did you get arrested by the government?"

Suddenly he became furious: "You damned official, why are you arresting these innocent people?

Even when these merchants do business with us in Vulture Mountain, they never harm anyone else."

"The boss has misunderstood. His Royal Highness the Prince is our boss, not what you think."

A shopkeeper explained: "Over the years, we have supplied medicinal materials to Bald Eagle Mountain, and provided you with paper and pens, cloth, and so on.

This was all instructed by His Royal Highness the Prince."

Lei Ying was stunned. He couldn't understand it at all.

Why would a prince help them build a copy?

After being besieged for so many years, many daily necessities are extremely scarce.

Medicinal materials and clothes are especially in short supply.

The people in the village fell ill and had to endure it.

Clothes will get worn out over time and have to be patched again and again.

Although they sent people out secretly to purchase supplies, facing such a large number of villagers, it was simply a drop in the bucket.

Many people have even reached the point where they have no clothes to cover their bodies and can only use leaves as clothes.

In recent years, merchants have provided them with goods and have become their saviors.

But now tell them that the owner of the goods is the prince of the Dayuan Dynasty.

I can't believe it!
