"Do you think I will lose my life in the future, I am almost addicted to this fire attack method." Lu looked at the flames in the distance and sniffed the smoke that burrowed into his nose.

The fire-lit woods stained the sky red, and there were many traces of wild beasts in addition to human figures looming in the smoke.

"Does the lord also believe in the theory of ghosts and gods, these are just myths that are spread by falsehood." Yang Feng only believed in the sharp knife in his hand and the soldiers under his command.

If the ghosts and gods really existed, there would be no need to fight this battle, just kneel on the ground and pray every day. Most of the generals do not believe in the claims of ghosts and gods, but sometimes they do it for taboo.

"Well said, ghosts and gods don't exist. The soldier said that no one on the battlefield here is innocent. ”

As a staunch materialist warrior, Lu Zhan didn't believe in ghosts and gods. But someone told Lu Zhan before that ghosts and gods can be trusted or not, but they must not be disrespectful.

On the battlefield, it is the tactics and soldiers who fight, and this luck is indeed very important. Liu Xiu, the Guangwu Emperor known as the son of the plane, summoned meteorites in the Kunyang War, and just crossed the frozen river during the pacification of Hebei, the river thawed, making it impossible for the pursuers to continue the pursuit.

The bandits who were attacked by fire lost the courage to continue fighting, and they were temporarily united, and more than a dozen cottages immediately dispersed. The bandits, who ran fast, picked up a life, and the slower ones gradually lost consciousness after inhaling the smoke and fell heavily to the ground.

"It seems that the master's task cannot be completed, how can this be explained." A black-clothed scholar couldn't help but shake his head as he looked at the fire spreading through the mountains and forests. There are 3,000 people in the Tang family, and there is no shortage of people like him who rely on strategies to eat. If the mission fails, your status and treatment will be lowered by one level.

This operation has completely failed, these bandits have lost the courage to continue fighting, even if they use money to lure them, it is difficult to keep these people to continue to work for their lives.

"My lord, the operation has failed, let's go back." An attendant asked the black-clothed scholar with an unwilling face.

"If you don't go back, I haven't completely failed this time." The young man in dark clothes came up with a few more plans in his heart. After much deliberation, one of the plans came to mind.

After Lu Zhan saw the bandits fleeing, he ordered the soldiers to continue their march. Even if these bandits are defeated, they will hide in the mountains and forests, and if they want to be completely eliminated, they cannot rely only on military means.

Let's go to those counties and townships first to inspect and see if these bandits continue to loot the townships.

The scouts at the lead watched a large number of figures appear in the distance, and immediately turned off their horses, carefully passed through the forest, and carefully saw the crowd in front of them.

"Look at what the people in front of you are all about, how they are all tied up."

"Go and report it to the lord."

After Lu Zhan received the news, Yang Feng beside him spoke: "These should be the people who were robbed by the bandits, and if it is expected, it should be the people who escaped and the bandits were abandoned." They couldn't run far with them, so they were abandoned in the wilderness. ”

After listening to Yang Feng's words, Lu Zhan immediately ordered the vanguard cavalry to untie these ropes that bound the people.

After a short while, Lu Zhan and Yang Feng also met these kidnapped people, most of whom were young men and women.

"I know the reason for robbing women, and what is the reason for robbing so many men." Lu Zhan thought that the rescued people were all women, but who would have expected that there would be so many young adults.

Yang Feng is well-informed, "These young men should be the bandits who are preparing to bring these young people back to the cottage to be used as coolies." These people are usually caught and do some dirty work. ”

After those people saw Lu Zhan, they all began to sing praises, and some even shouted long live.

I heard these people say that they were all caught here, and these people are all from different places, some are villagers or mountain people, and some are travelers who have been robbed on the road.

"The composition of these people is really complicated, so let these villagers send people to rise up and bring these people back. Sending troops back will inevitably put a little psychological pressure on the local residents, and what these kidnapped people need now is comfort. ”

After Lu Zhan ordered the heralds to spread the news to the local county and township, he set up camp here, and the rescued people were surrounded in the center of the barracks.

After dinner, the whole camp began to fall silent. Except for the soldiers who watched the night and watched, there were no others.

At midnight dozens of figures rose from their sleeping tents, and after dodging the night patrol soldiers, they went around the camp, and after learning a few nightingales, a few more partridges came back.

Nearly 1,000 bandits came out of the mountains and forests where they were hiding, and the dozens of people raised torches to signal that everything was going well.

"Brothers, whether you eat meat or drink the northwest wind in the future will see today." The big bosses are making the final mobilization for these people.

Thinking of the fame and fortune in the future, the faces of these bandits were full of heat, and the previous failures were all tempted by the big cake drawn by the young man in dark clothes in front of them.

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

With the shouting of birds in the mountains and forests, nearly a thousand bandits rushed into the camp of the Yanzhou army cavalry. After breaking through a dozen tents in a row, there was not a single person in sight.

The young man and the big boss in dark clothes immediately reacted that this was an ambush by Lu Zhan.

The bandits who rushed to the front also found that the situation around them was not quite right, there was not even a single person in this big camp, and there was not even a single person in the previous camp.

"Quick! Quick, retracement! ”

After hearing the words of the big boss, these bandits also panicked and prepared to flee the camp. This look is like being ambushed, and if you go one step later, you may lose your life.

Suddenly, thousands of torches lit up in the surrounding mountains and forests, and hundreds of muskets poured fire on these bandits in the mountains and forests, and the dense projectiles combined with the archers shot feather arrows directly at a large number of bandits.

These bandits also knew that they were scattered to avoid harm, and after seeing the bandits scattering and fleeing, the soldiers of the Yanzhou Army also rushed into the camp and began to hunt and kill.

The bandits who had long lost their fighting spirit could not resist the Yanzhou army, which was ready to attack, and most of the bandits laid down their weapons under the slogan of the Yanzhou army chanting to disarm and not kill.

A man in dark clothes was brought to Lu Zhan, "The lord looks different from those bandits. ”

The scholar and the bandit mingled as if there was an extra dish of abalone and ginseng in a home-cooked dish.
