Chapter 33: The Crusade against the Bandits

Early the next morning, before dawn, in the open space in front of the barracks, more than 1,000 people were neatly arranged, Zhang Jiang and other infantry were in the center, on both sides were the cavalry of Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and Zhang Wen, and several leaders in front of the team were riding majestically on their horses.

Zhang Hao followed Tong Fei and Gongsun Du by his side, paced to the front of the team and stood still in front of the team.

Originally, there was no Gongsun Du to attack the bandits this time, but who knew that he would have to follow after he knew, because Zhang Hao now has no talents in governance, Gongsun Du has always been in charge, but I forgot that this is also a master who can lead troops to fight.

Gongsun Du is not only excellent in management, but also good in force, although it is not as good as Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun, but it is also similar to Zhang Jiang and several people, and even much stronger in terms of commanders.

After so many years of training, Zhang Jiang and the others can support a fierce man in thirty or fifty rounds even with the full strength of Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun.

"This is the first time I've met with you so formally, and to be honest, I'm still a little nervous." Zhang Hao said with a smile.

There was a burst of laughter from the bottom, and the originally very solemn atmosphere was gone, but in the hearts of these private soldiers, the distance between them and this adult was suddenly shortened.

Zhang Hao's hands were pressed weakly, and the following was suddenly silent, and he looked at Zhang Hao tightly.

"I think you must be curious about what is going on to bring everyone together today."

"Some of you may not know that some time ago, a group of bandits came to loot our village, and after investigation, they looted everywhere, killed people and set fires, and did all kinds of evil." Zhang Hao said loudly.

"Maybe some of you have been robbed by them, and your relatives have been hurt by them, and now, they have come to rob the village we have worked so hard to build, tell me, can you still tolerate it?"

"Can't" shouted, mixed with a sense of grief and indignation, and spread far away.

"Today, I will take you to destroy them, but they are ruthless, are you afraid?" Zhang Hao asked again.

"Not afraid, not afraid, not afraid."

"Very well, you are not afraid, but I am afraid." Zhang Hao's words changed.

After a pause, he continued: "Although most of you are not familiar to me, and even many of you, I have never spoken to you, but you are all from my Spark Village, my brothers and comrades-in-arms, and the guardians of Spark Village. ”

"I'm afraid, I'm afraid of your meaningless sacrifices, I'm afraid of seeing your corpses carried back, but I'm even more afraid that the relatives behind me will be ravaged by thieves, and I'm even more afraid that the home I want to protect will be trampled on."

"So we have no choice but to defeat all the thieves who want to destroy our homeland, and the brave will win when they meet in a narrow way."

"Kill, kill, kill."

Three killings resounded through the heavens and the earth, and a killing aura shrouded the sky over the army.

"Departure"

Under an order, Zhang Hao, Tong Fei, and Gongsun Du turned over and set off first, followed by Zhang Jiang's four people, as well as the infantry they led, the two wings of the infantry, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun led people to protect one wing.

Zhang Wen led the team, crossed the crowd, came to the front of the team, and played the role of a scout.

I traveled all the way, and when it was almost dark, I had reached a place only five miles away from the barren mountain.

"Stop, the whole army is encamped in place, and be careful not to be discovered by the enemy." With Zhang Hao's order, the army stopped and began to get busy.

"Tianzhi, take someone to be on guard." Zhang Hao ordered.

Five miles is already a very close distance, as long as the other party sends someone to investigate, it will definitely be discovered.

"Zilong, Yide, the two of you will take turns to keep vigil."

"Yes," the two agreed.

After a day's rapid march, the infantry was already tired, and the cavalry rode much better than the infantry, so the work of the vigil will be left to you and the two of them.

At the fourth watch, Zhang Hao woke up the team and quickly assembled the whole team, these private soldiers had rested, and the fatigue after the rapid march had been swept away.

The fourth watch, that is, two or three o'clock now, is the time when people's spirits are the most sluggish, and it is also the time when they sleep most soundly.

A group of people quietly touched the mountain, this group of thieves is also too unpleasant, there is not even a bright post and secret post along the way, Zhang Hao and these people have touched their camp, and they have not been found.

This is a very simple cottage, surrounded by a fence, and many thatched houses are in a mess, and there is no pattern to speak of.

The whole camp was filled with the smell of wine, and empty wine jars were thrown everywhere, and even the two thieves who were symbolically guarding the door fell asleep with a wine jar in their arms.

Zhang Hao frowned, he originally wanted to use these bandits to train his troops, thinking that he would encounter a group of fierce and abnormal bandits and experience a big battle, but he didn't expect it to be a group of rabble.

Zhang Haoxing ordered everyone to attack on their own, and then ignored it.

"Ah~~~" There was a frightened cry of a girl from a room in the cottage, Zhang Hao raised his eyes and saw that Zhang Fei had already rushed towards the house where the sound came from.

Zhang Fei kicked open the door and walked into the house, and then there were two fights, and as the sound of a man roaring ended, Zhang Fei came out, followed by a girl.

The girl was fourteen or fifteen years old, dressed in red, wearing a wooden cuirass outside, her face was tender and delicate, but she had a heroic appearance, and she followed Zhang Fei step by step.

And after Zhang Hao's private army rushed into the camp, someone finally found out, under his shouting, the bandits rushed out in a panic, and some didn't even wear their clothes.

In this way, it is easy to save trouble, there is no need to look for it from room to room, the battle ended quickly, under the protection of a group of generals, Zhang Hao's side did not have a single casualty, and more than 470 thieves were annihilated.

By the time dawn came, everything had been counted, and only a dozen stone of grain, a box of belongings, five war horses, and more than 20 women had been rescued.

It's just that these women are all cloaked and scattered, and they must have been bullied in this bandit's den, but the girl in red seems to have just been robbed and has not been poisoned.

Zhang Hao gave each of these people some money, and let them go down the mountain by themselves, and everyone left, but the girl in red did not leave for a long time.

"Hey, that stupid big one, what's your name?" The girl in red looked at Zhang Fei with big watery eyes and asked, her voice crisp and playful.

"Huh? Ah, a certain Yan man Zhang Yide. Zhang Fei replied humbly.

"And where do you live?"

"A certain lives in Xinghuo Village, Gaoxian County."

"Okay, I'll go back to you, gentlemen, and we'll see you later." The girl said and turned to leave, leaving Zhang Fei standing there confused.

"What are you looking for me, I don't seem to have offended him." Zhang Fei muttered quietly, and Zhang Hao and the others immediately laughed, but no one spoke.
