The tents that were temporarily stationed were quickly abandoned, and the bandits besieging Fuyuan City flew into the mountains and forests. Most of these bandits were Song soldiers, and the officers in charge of training when they were in the barracks had taught them that when they were in pursuit, they must not run away on the main road, but should go into the mountains and forests.

The speed of the cavalry in the mountains and forests will slow down, and the sight in the mountains is not good, so generally escaping into the mountains and forests can save a life.

"Give the order to go to Mingjin and collect the troops, these people are also veterans, and they are all running into the mountains. We've achieved our goal, but once these people escape, it's going to be too hard to catch them. ”

Lu Zhan really didn't want to let go of these people who had fallen into the grass, but with the current strength of the army, this was completely unprecedented, and so many people fleeing into the mountains and forests were like fish in the sea.

"The lord is also a helpless thing, the cavalry will lose its advantage when they enter the mountain forest. However, the ability to defeat these bandits so quickly is thanks to the willingness of the defenders in the city to come out and cooperate with us. "Yang Feng originally thought that the enemy would resist for a while and then rout, but this defender quickly routed the enemy as soon as he attacked.

"Prepare to enter the city, the brothers are already tired of fighting at night." Lu Zhan turned his horse and led the cavalry of the Yanzhou army to converge the defenders who had left the city to meet them.

The entire battalion was burned to the ground by the cavalry, and the night sky was lit up by raging flames, and the original starlight was obscured by the firelight. The smell of burnt linen was accompanied by a burnt smell that penetrated into the nasal passages.

The defenders who went out of the city to meet saw a group of cavalry coming out of the firelight, led by two people, one wearing white helmets and silver robes, and the other wearing dark armor, slowly walking out in the firelight, just like the legendary black and white double evil.

"Stop! Declare your name and military affiliation. ”

Although he knew that the other party should be a friendly soldier, he still asked about the origin of these soldiers as usual.

"Viscount Yanzhou Lu Zhan."

"Commander of the cavalry battalion, Yang Feng."

It turned out that these two people were their superiors, "The subordinates have seen the lord and General Yang." ”

The blood-stained cavalrymen made their way through the gates to the makeshift camp to rest, and the somewhat hot armor that had been roasted by the fire was now cooling down.

"This military camp in Fuyuan is not enough to accommodate the accommodation of so many soldiers, why don't you tell the people and let the soldiers live in the houses. This lord and General Yang went to the villain's humble house for a few days, how about it? ”

The sky-high flames and the earth-shattering shouts of killing made almost everyone in Fuyuan City wake up. At that time, almost everyone thought that the bandits were attacking the city, and many women prepared hemp rope or white silk on the beams of their homes.

When these family patriarchs of Fuyuan City saw that it was the reinforcements that arrived, and that Lu Zhan personally led the army, they immediately surrounded them and began to greet them.

"That's not good. All the soldiers who were ordered to lay on the streets today were to be killed, and those who dared to harass the residents would be killed. I thank you for your kindness, and I will work with the soldiers on the street. ”

"How can the golden body of the lord sleep on the street with ordinary soldiers, this makes us feel sorry. If you don't enjoy it tomorrow at noon, we will thank you. ”

After sending away these families who came to curry favor, Lu Zhan and his soldiers picked up the covers and prepared to build the floor. The early spring night was still unusually cold, and a chilly breeze blew as soon as it came out of the fire.

Lu Zhan, who was covered with the quilt, looked at the stars in the sky and wrapped the quilt even tighter, and the equality of officers and soldiers that he had said before and emphasized was fulfilled to himself.

The people who got up the next day were shocked when they looked at the soldiers sleeping on the street wrapped in thin quilts. These soldiers even slept on the streets, and according to the usual practice, when the army passed by to spend the night, the barracks of the barracks were often insufficient, so they borrowed from civilian houses. It's like a convention.

It's fine to meet a well-disciplined army, but it's bad to run into an army with bad military discipline. The family's finances and wife and daughter may be in danger.

"The military discipline of this Lord Lu's army is so strict, what is the military discipline of the Yanzhou New Army in the legend?"

"I remember what it was like to freeze to death without demolishing the house, starving to death without plundering."

"I thought it was just a rumor, but I didn't expect it to be true, the military discipline of this Yanzhou New Army would be so strict."

The people of Fuyuan City and their neighbors began to talk about the new army sleeping on the streets, and the cavalry, who had been traveling for many days and fighting at night, gradually woke up, packed up and began to prepare to assemble.

Lu Zhan could have found a good place to prepare for sleep, and after waking up in the morning, he arranged for the men to start cooking breakfast.

As soon as he made a bowl of porridge, he saw soldiers wearing the uniforms of the local defenders of Fuyuan City running over in a hurry with a few tired people.

Lu Zhan looked at the soldiers who came running with his rice bowl, thinking that he wouldn't be here to grab food. Seeing that he was anxious, Lu Zhan still put down his job, ready to listen to what this panicked soldier wanted to say.

"Sir, there is news from the surrounding counties and towns that the bandits have begun to loot. This is the person who came to the surrounding counties and townships to spread the word. ”

No, these routs were only broken up by themselves last night. How could they start plundering the people so quickly, it stands to reason that he and the Yanzhou army are still here, and these routs should not be so bold.

"Is this sure that this is the bandit army that besieged the Fuyuan area before, it stands to reason that these people should be dormant for a while before they come out."

Faced with the question of the landing exhibition, a big man stood up and said: "Sir, this should be right, we planned to pass on the news of this robbery of the bandits in the township before, but we can't enter this bandit besieging Fuyuan."

Since ancient times, the imperial power has not gone to the countryside, and the villagers are all prestigious old people or landlords to maintain grassroots rule.

"You say these bandits have been in the county for a long time?"

The people all said in unison: "Yes, these bandits have been besieging for several days."

It seems that these people should not be bandits composed of the defeated soldiers of the Song army, these people will not look at the finances of these counties and townships, and only the siege of big cities can meet the expenses of so many people.

Then these people should be the real bandits, these people want to fish in troubled waters, but these people don't know that the bandits besieging Fuyuan have dispersed. Now, if you go on the attack with cavalry, you can get rid of these troublemakers by arriving before they get the news and flee.

"Brothers, after eating and preparing to leave, we still have to go to suppress the bandits."
