In the big tent of Hulu Valley, Li An patiently listened to Nan Jiyun's report, and held a brush to draw the terrain near the bandits' lair, as well as the deployment of the bandits' camps. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"That's it."

Li An took the paper in his hand, blew it casually, and thought about it carefully.

"Big brother, the bandits' lair has been discovered by us, they are only more than 200 people, with the strength of our army, it is easy to eliminate this gang of bandits."

"General, the last general has seen it, these days, the soldiers of the Pingnan Army are very well trained, in the end they are all peasant men, and their combat power is not inferior to that of the Longwu Army, and if they raid the bandits' lair, they will definitely win a big victory."

Li An smiled faintly at the corner of his mouth, what the general said was the truth, there are more than 3,000 troops in Pingnan, and there are only more than 200 bandits, and a complete victory is inevitable.

It is not difficult to win the battle, but Li An has a higher pursuit, that is, zero casualties, so that the officers and soldiers of the Pingnan Army can annihilate all the bandits in the case of zero casualties, only in this way can the strong strength of the Pingnan Army be reflected, and the combat enthusiasm of the soldiers can be more stimulated.

In order to achieve this strategic goal, it is necessary to be fully prepared to launch a surprise attack when the bandits are defenseless, so as to easily annihilate the bandits.

Nan Jiyun has almost scouted the deployment of the bandits' lair, although the situation inside the lair is not very clear, but the bandits think that the lair is deep in the mountains, they will not be discovered, and the internal defense will not be very tight.

"This raid on the bandits' lair is actual combat training, do you know what actual combat training is?"

Li An looked at each general seriously.

"General, raiding a bandit's lair is to fight, combat training? Isn't it just a different word? ”

Li An frowned and corrected: "Although it is just a change of word, the effect is different, it is inevitable that people will die in battle, how many dead people are there in training?" This raid on the bandits' lair is actual combat training, and not a single soldier is allowed to die, do you understand? ”

"No one is allowed to die, it's too difficult, the sword has no eyes, there must be masters among the bandits, and it is normal to die a few soldiers."

"The general is merciful, but since ancient times, there have been no casualties in the war, and it is inevitable to sacrifice soldiers."

Li An corrected dissatisfiedly: "The general has already said, this is actual combat training, not a war, casualties are not allowed, and who said that there must be dead people in a war, think that at the beginning, in the first battle of Ulzhou, this general led a hundred soldiers to rush back and forth, killing nearly 1,000 people in the Tibetan army, and our army did not have a single casualty, why can't it be done now." ”

The ministers will be speechless, bowing their heads and not speaking.

Li An looked at a few generals who had opinions, and said: "This raid on the bandits' lair is to train the Pingnan Army, you don't have to go, all the officers and soldiers of the Longwu Army stay in the Hulu Valley, and Kunxiong, Feiyu and the generals will just lead the troops over." ”

"General, the last general is willing to take the lead."

Nan Jiyun shouted for battle.

Li An nodded with satisfaction and said: "Very good, Nan Jiyun, then you will take the lead, but you remember to Ben General, no one in the reconnaissance team is missing, if there is one less, Ben will definitely not spare you." ”

"General rest assured, if there is one person missing from the reconnaissance team, it must be Nan Jiyun."

Nan Jiyun said confidently.

Li An's expression was even more satisfied, and he began to deploy tasks for Nan Jiyun, and summoned several other newly appointed generals of the Pingnan Army to give them deployment tasks.

In view of the requirement of zero casualties, the Pingnan army had to launch a surprise attack with the bandits unsuspected, and for this reason, the time of the attack was chosen at night.

And because the number of bandits is not large, Li An did not plan to use too many troops, only mobilized the two reconnaissance teams of the special regiment as the vanguard, in addition, transferred two combat regiments as the main force, and the baggage regiment used a small number of men and horses to be responsible for security.

The total strength of the two reconnaissance teams is one hundred and thirty people, and the strength of the two combat regiments is as high as seven hundred soldiers, and the total strength is four times that of the bandits, which is more than enough to deal with this gang of bandits, of course, if zero casualties are required, the difficulty is slightly greater, after all, the officers and men of the Pingnan Army have only been trained for more than half a month, and they are not elite in a hundred battles, and the soldiers have not killed anyone. Only through this battle can it be reflected, which is the main reason why Li Ang asked to fight this battle, only through actual combat can the soldiers learn how to fight.

Although Li An promised at the time of conscription that he would not fight within three months, the reason given this time was actual combat training, although the recruits felt that they all meant the same thing, but this was indeed the slogan of training, and the officer who led the troops said that this time in actual combat training, all soldiers must be alive, in a group of five or ten people, and it is never allowed to abandon their comrades, if someone in a group is killed, the whole group will be punished, and if a bandit is killed, the whole group will be rewarded.

The strength of the bandits was 200 men, and their recruits dispatched more than 800, a four-fold superiority in strength, which made these recruits full of confidence and thought that they would definitely win the battle on this trip, so they naturally would not raise objections.

In order to nourish their spirits and exterminate the bandits, the soldiers began to rest at noon, and after dark, they got up smelling the smell of food, and after eating and drinking, they quickly assembled and waited for Li An's order.

"General, the reconnaissance team of the Pingnan Army, the first and second regiments of the battle, and the first part of the baggage regiment have all been assembled."

Li An wiped the oil stains from the corners of his mouth and strode towards the assembled Pingnan Army team.

Nearly 1,000 officers and soldiers of the Pingnan Army, armed with weapons, were neatly arranged, looking quite mighty, which made Li An quite satisfied.

Clearing his throat, Li An said loudly: "Soldiers, tonight is our army's first actual combat training, some soldiers may feel that actual combat training is to fight, but I am going to tell you that actual combat training is not only a war, but also a requirement, all soldiers must come back intact, no one is allowed to die, tonight, Ben will personally lead the team, all soldiers must obey the general's order, if there is a violation, it will be severely punished." ”

"Roar, Roar, Roar, ......Roar, Roar, Roar, Roar, T

"The reconnaissance team set off immediately, followed by the combat regiment, and the baggage regiment followed the general at the end."

Ang Lee gave the military order loudly.

Hearing the order, Nan Jiyun stretched out his hand and led the reconnaissance team to the checkpoint in the west of Hulu Valley, followed by the second reconnaissance team, and then, Li Kunxiong led the first combat regiment to follow, followed by the second combat regiment led by Li Feiyu, and Li An led twenty soldiers of the medical team and the transport team to walk at the end.

Since there were no insurmountable rivers and streams on the way to the bandits' lair, for this reason, Li An did not use the Zhouqiao team of the baggage regiment, and the defense of the bandits' lair was weak, so naturally there was no need to use the siege team of the special regiment.

With more than 800 recruits and soldiers, it was more than enough to completely annihilate this gang of bandits.

The recruits and soldiers of the Pingnan Army have undergone rigorous training, although the time is very short, but they are all strong peasant men, the foundation is very good, and the effect of the training is of course not bad, the effect of the rapid march at night is much better than Li An expected, and there is not a single soldier left behind, the team is neat, and the march is orderly, so that Li An can see the prototype of an elite division.

The bandits' lair was only more than ten miles away from the gourd valley, and it took the soldiers half an hour to reach their destination and hide quietly.

"Big brother, the bandits' lair has arrived, I just went over and took a look, the defense is really weak, and our army can take it down with a surprise attack."

"Big brother, the location of the reconnaissance team is less than a hundred steps away from the bandits' lair, and they are closely investigating the bandits' movements."

Li Kunxiong and Li Feiyu ran over and reported excitedly.

Li An looked at the hour and said softly: "Very good, let the soldiers rest for two hours, and launch an attack in two hours." ”

"Big brother, the bandits' defense is weak, why wait two hours, it's not better to shoot now."

Li An said dissatisfiedly: "Didn't you say it when you set off? To ensure that there were zero casualties among the soldiers, in another two hours, the bandits' defenses would be even weaker, and when the time came, the soldiers would rush in and annihilate the bandits in one fell swoop. ”

"General, in two hours, it is estimated that most of the bandits will be asleep, should we rush in and kill them all, or capture the prisoners?"

Li An smiled and said softly: "After the army rushes in, first kill all the bandits who are on guard, and then rush into the depths of the bandits' lair, all those with weapons will be killed, and those who surrender empty-handed can be spared." ”

"Yes, General."

Li An did this to ensure the absolute safety of the recruits under his command, and the bandits with weapons could cause harm to the recruits, whether they were playing with weapons or for whatever reason, they must be killed immediately.

Leaning on a thick tree trunk, looking at the bright moon hanging in the night sky, Li An's mood is quite complicated, the life of fighting and killing is not what he likes, but for the interests of the Tang Empire, but for his own future, Li Ang still stepped into this dangerous road.

Fortunately, his body is extraordinarily brave, much better than in his previous life, and he doesn't have to worry about dying on the way to the expedition, yes, Ang Lee is sure of this.

However, occasionally Ang Lee will also think, even if his status has improved step by step, what can he do? Is this really the life you want? If the merit is high, will he be wrongfully convicted and beheaded?

Of course, thinking about it, what to do, what to do, since it has entered the political situation of the Tang Dynasty, there is no turning back, what we need to do now is to calm down the bandits near the Hulu Valley as soon as possible, and relieve the worries of the next march into the land.

Two hours passed quickly, and the officers and men of the Pingnan Army were ready to attack, and with only Li An's order, they could launch a fierce attack on the bandits' lair.

Li An took Kunxiong Feiyu and quietly approached the bandits' lair, and found Nan Jiyun, who was the vanguard.

"General, our army is ready to ensure that we will annihilate this gang of bandits in one fell swoop and recapture the gold jewelry that belongs to us."

Nan Jiyun confidently stated.

Li An raised his eyes and swept the bandits' lair in front of him, and saw that there were only three or five sentries standing on the camp walking back and forth, and he couldn't help but feel contempt in his heart, and looked back at Kunxiong Feiyu: "You go back immediately and prepare for battle." ”

"Yes, big brother."

Li An looked at Nan Jiyun again, and said with a straight face: "Nan Jiyun, remember, you must fight quickly, and in addition, you must ensure that all the soldiers can live, this is your promise to the general, don't forget." ”’

"Yes, General, the Admiral will not disappoint you."

Nan Jiyun was still full of confidence, and he couldn't wait to rush forward immediately and annihilate all the bandits in the lair.

Li An nodded: "The hour is almost up, act now!" ”

"Yes, General."

Nan Jiyun received the order, led the soldiers of the reconnaissance team under his command, and quickly pounced on the bandits' lair in front of him.

There was no shouting for killing, no war drums, the soldiers quietly launched a surprise attack, and followed closely behind Nan Jiyun.

"Whoosh ......"

The scout's soldiers fired arrows as they charged, and quickly killed several of the sentries in the bandit camp.

Li An stood where he was, watching the scout team kill all the bandit sentries and quietly rush into the bandits' lair.

The second reconnaissance team followed closely and broke into the bandits' lair from another direction, and Li Kunxiong and Li Feiyu led the main officers of the first and second regiments respectively to quickly reinforce and surround the bandits' lair.

At this time, most of the bandits in the camp were asleep, and they didn't have much reaction to the faint sound at all, and the sentries were killed as early as when the Pingnan army launched a charge, and naturally no one would warn them, for this reason, until the soldiers of the Pingnan army rushed into their rooms, they didn't understand what was happening, and they were taken prisoner in a daze.

The officers and men of the Pingnan Army, in full accordance with Li An's military orders, all those with weapons in their hands, even if they ask to surrender, they will be killed, after all, you have surrendered, what are you doing with weapons, don't you think it's redundant?

When the bandit leader and more than a dozen small leaders heard the movement, they were just about to copy the guys, and the officers and men of the Pingnan Army had already rushed in.

There are some bandits, by virtue of their familiarity with the terrain, plan to sneak away, however, the two combat regiments of the Pingnan Army have surrounded the bandits' lair, and as soon as they escaped from the nest, they hit the knife edge of the Pingnan Army, and the bandits who escaped empty-handed were more lucky, just being prisoners, and the bandits with self-defense weapons in their hands were not so lucky, and they were all shot and killed by the Pingnan Army.

A battle without suspense of victory or defeat ended quickly, and this battle cannot even be described as a battle, after all, the bandit side has almost no chance of resisting.

Li An was more concerned about whether there were casualties among the officers and men of the Pingnan Army under his command, and as soon as the battle was over, he asked the generals of each unit to quickly count the men and horses under his command and report the casualties.

"General, all the bandits have been eliminated."

Nan Jiyun walked over to Li An quickly, with a silly smile on his face. (To be continued.) )
