The bandits were defeated and dispersed, and Lin Fan was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.

And as soon as this breath was relieved, it was a little out of strength for a while. The blackened and weak Lin Fan stood on the ground with his sword and rested on the stone.

He was panting incessantly, and the sweat continued to pop up from his forehead, down his cheeks, and drip onto the ground.

Since he left Jiangnan Province, he hasn't lived in peace these days, and he has been in danger one after another, and even Lin Fan's old injuries have not healed and new injuries have been added.

The wounds from the last battle on the river had not yet fully healed, but this time they collapsed in the fight, and blood kept oozing out through the cracked wounds, staining his clothes red.

The reinforcements finally came to Lin Fan, and it was the soldiers of the Inspection Division.

Seeing Lin Fan's situation, they quickly dispersed around to guard, protected Lin Fan in the middle, and nervously paid attention to the surrounding movements, for fear that another group of thieves would suddenly come out and kill Lin Fan.

An Ning walked forward quickly with a bull horn bow, bent his bow and arrows to shoot a slow-running bandit in the dense forest, and then hurriedly walked closer to inspect Lin Fan's injuries.

Lin Fan Anning and others have studied under famous masters since they were children, although they have not tried to compete with outsiders, but from the evaluation of them by the previous husband, we can know that their archery skills are not too bad compared with even the best archers in the army, and even surpass!

The arrow that hit the short man just now was shot by An Ning, who shot a man first and a horse first, and captured a thief before the king.

This arrow made the bandits lose their command, let alone their backbone, and it can be said that it directly affected the direction of the entire battle.

An Ning was very worried about Lin Fan's body when he saw Lin Fan's weak appearance.

He felt that he had failed to take good care of the young master, and had failed the instructions of the master and his father when he came out, and he was eager to kill all those thieves with his own hands.

He endured the tears that welled up in his eyes, and ordered directly without looking back: "Brothers, chase me!" Kill them all, avenge the adults, and the dead and wounded brothers! ”

Lin Fan shook his head, stopped him, and waved his hand to stop the people of the Inspection Division who were about to catch up.

A little weakly said: "Don't chase, poor Kou Mo chase, besides, the brothers are not familiar with the terrain, the forest inside is too dense, and the sky is getting dark, so it is easy to fall into the trap."

"This time the thieves are greatly injured, and they will not dare to be evil in a short period of time, and getting rid of them can be regarded as a wake-up call for several other bandits, letting them know that our inspection department is not easy to mess with, and they will surely live in peace for a while in the future. As for the future, if you want to clean them up, there is a chance, and there is no need to rush in one or two days. ”

In fact, he still hasn't said a word, that is, although the number of people in the inspection department seems to be large, it is far above these thieves. But there is a lack of training, and the weapons are not good, this time they are taking advantage of their unpreparedness and relying on sneak attacks to take advantage, but if they really fight face-to-face with real swords and guns, they may not be able to get benefits.

This can be seen from the fact that hundreds of people besieged dozens of people, and they were able to let the bandits break through when they were still sneaking in and Lin Fanli should join forces.

Thinking of this, the corners of Lin Fan's mouth unconsciously revealed a touch of bitterness, now this world is really getting more and more chaotic, in less than a month, he has encountered two attacks.

If it is based on the current combat strength of the Inspection Division, if there is really a big chaos, it will definitely not be able to deal with it, and I am afraid that it will be the life of cannon fodder in the future chaos. If it continues like this, it will be difficult for you to protect yourself, let alone make a difference.

The top priority of the inspection department is to pay close attention to training in order to enhance combat effectiveness and take precautions. In case the chaos comes, but you are helpless, you can only sit and wait, then it will really be too late to regret it.

An Ning came out this time and brought a military doctor over, An Ning asked the military doctor to come forward to help Lin Fan deal with his wounds, but Lin Fan stopped him.

Lin Fan opened his mouth and said: "I don't have to worry about it, you better go and see the injured brothers first, see how they are, whether the injuries are serious." Med, you must heal them, please! ”

The military doctor looked at Lin Fan a little strangely, he had been in the inspection department for so many years, and he had never seen a commander who ignored his injuries and cared about his subordinates first, and it was obvious that he was more seriously injured, and the military doctor slandered in his heart, what a strange person.

However, although the military doctor was helpless, he had no choice but to follow the order and go to treat the other wounded first. Just when the military doctor was checking the injuries of the wounded soldiers, treating the wounds one by one, and giving them medicine, Lin Fan was not idle, he was waiting for the specific results of this battle.

After a while, the statistical results of this battle also came out. After this battle, three people from the Inspection Department were killed on the spot, and one of them was one of the three people who entered the city with Lin Fan. He died in battle, and before he died, he was slashed more than a dozen times, and his whole body was blurred and unrecognizable.

In addition to this, more than a dozen people were injured in varying degrees of severity. With the current scale of the inspection department, it can be said that the loss is not light.

Of course, although there were losses, the results were no less. This time, there were more than 30 thieves, 13 of whom were killed on the spot, and the other 5 were wounded and captured alive, and only a dozen of them escaped as fish that slipped through the net.

It can be said that the inspection department has never achieved such a big victory in recent years, and the fly in the ointment is to let the bandit leader escape.

Lin Fan endured the pain, called An Ning closer, and said softly: "An Ning, bury the brothers who died in the war, you must personally send the silver from the imperial court to their families, and give each family an extra five taels of silver, don't use the money of the Inspection Department, take it from the money brought by our family!" Also, you just need to know these things yourself, don't make a noise! ”

An Ning responded: "My lord, don't worry! I'll take care of it. However, my lord, it is not better for you to be considerate of your subordinates and love your soldiers like children, so that everyone knows! Why did you keep my voice quiet? ”

Lin Fan looked at An Ning with some curiosity and explained: "You also know that the death this time is due to me!" All this is what I should do, if it is to make a big splash but it is suspected of buying people's hearts, I don't want to and I don't want to do it! Got it? ”

An Ning sighed and nodded! He understands Lin Fan, it's not that his young master doesn't know how to buy people's hearts, let alone that he can't use them, but he doesn't like them from the bottom of his heart, and he never wants to use these things.

Even for Wang Hu and others to establish a refugee gathering area, the young master kept saying to the master that it was to use refugees to establish prestige for the Lin family, and to establish a township to defend Jiangyuan Town. In fact, it is more about the homeless refugees who can have a place to live.

He knew that Lin Fan on the surface was changing, and he was inevitably gradually accepting and using some tricks and even tricks. This is a compromise that Lin Fan had to make, but these are just to survive in this dark officialdom? And Lin Fan, who is deep in his heart, will always be the kind, upright, and cheerful bright boy in Jiangyuan Town.

An Ning came back to her senses and said softly comfortingly: "Young Master, don't worry, I know!"

This time he didn't call him Lord, but called him Young Master again. Lin Fan just nodded at him, didn't speak, everything was silent.

Lin Fan clapped his hands vigorously, attracting everyone's attention and asking all of her to gather over.

His breath was a little lacking, and his tone was a little weak, but he still said loudly: "Brothers, everyone has worked hard in this battle, we have won a big victory this time, we will go back tonight, we will put on a celebration banquet, you will eat and drink hard, don't save me money!"

"And I'm going to send someone to the county to report the merits, and the county magistrate will definitely reward the merits, so you just wait to receive the reward money!" When the time comes, you will be indispensable, but let's talk about it first, this money is in hand, don't take it and drink the flower wine, ah! ”

The sergeants burst into laughter when they heard this, and Lin Fan saw that it was almost time, and then said: "Brothers, you have also seen that these bandits are not invincible!" So, don't be afraid in the future! Let me tell you a good news, this time I went to the county, I asked the county commander for a lot of armor and weapons, and everyone in our inspection department has a share. With these things, everyone will train diligently, don't talk about thieves in the future, even if the king of heaven comes, we are not afraid! ”

"Good! Good! Good! The tsunami-like cheers of the mountains shook the valley, and the morale of the sergeants of the inspection department was greatly boosted, and they looked eagerly at Lin Fan, the young man who brought them victory. For all, the future is no longer bleak, no longer dead, but bright and hopeful! What this young adult brought to them was a rebirth.

Lin Fan saw that everyone was very excited, talking to each other happily, and he couldn't be quiet for a while, and he didn't disturb their interest.

He just quietly called Song Mao to his side and said, "Brother Song, you go to find the car, and then take a few people to send the corpses of these thieves and these few living mouths to the county office, and hand them over to the county magistrate to dispose of."

Song Mao's face was a little abnormal, and when he heard this, he was a little surprised, and he didn't react for a while, and replied in amazement: "Ah... Yes! Delivery... Leave it to me? ”

Lin Fan chuckled softly: "Brother Song, I'm new here, and I'm not familiar with many things, so I'll rest assured that I'll leave this matter to you, no problem, right?"

Song Mao reacted and hurriedly said, "No problem!" No problem! Leave it to me, sir, and you can rest assured! I will definitely send them to the county government and hand them over to the county magistrate! ”

Lin Fan snorted and said, "Well, I'm sorry to trouble Brother Song!" It's getting dark, you must pay attention to safety, go and come back quickly! We are waiting for you to come back in the inspection department and wash the dust for you! ”

Song Mao agreed, and he went to gather people and start preparations. Lin Fan looked at his back, whispered "hey", and stopped him.

Song Mao turned around in surprise and looked at him.

Lin Fan pointed to his horse and said, "Ride a horse, it's faster and safer!"

Song Mao saw that Lin Fan gave up his mount to him, and he froze again, not knowing how to respond for a while, he arched his hand towards Lin Fan and turned around without a word.

After this matter was over, Lin Fan looked at the people who had retreated enthusiastically and had just quieted down, seeing that they were all looking at him, he smiled angrily: "Why are you all looking at me?" What are you doing here? Take care of your wounded brother! Let's go, go back, and take you home for dinner! ”

Everyone agreed loudly and replied in unison, "Yes!" Adult"

After the order was given, everyone began to work in an orderly manner, and the team leaders also took responsibility, commanding their subordinates, supporting the wounded, and marching in the direction of Wuguan.

Lin Fan and Song Mao also said goodbye to each other, and Lin Fan followed the team north with the support of An Ning. Song Mao rode a few sergeants on horseback and escorted the bandits all the way south along the official road, gradually disappearing into the afterglow of the sun.
