Chapter 30: The Fierce War
If it is a single person's bravery, there is still a gap between the twenty under Zhang Mingtong and the group of bandits under the one-eyed wolf, but the tacit understanding and cooperation of the archers under Zhang Mingtong are much stronger than those of the one-eyed wolf.

In this way, "the combat power of the two sides is actually half a catty to eight taels - about the same", but Zhang Mingtong and their number is much more than that of the one-eyed wolf, you must know that although the archers can't release arrows now, these archers are also equipped with war knives, and after a month of combat knife training, their melee ability is not much weaker than the pikemen of the Inspection Division.
Although the one-eyed wolf is brave enough and desperate, the number of the opponent is fully twice as large as his own, and the number of the opponent is so much more than his own under the same combat power, even if the one-eyed wolf is desperate, it is useless.
What's more, courage comes and goes quickly, and when the one-eyed wolves can't break through Zhang Mingtong's defense in one go, their courage begins to dissipate continuously.
Although this group of bandits also caused some casualties to the archers at the beginning, their casualties were even greater, and the archers of the Inspection Division fell for one of them, they fell two, and if the archers were slightly injured, one of them was seriously injured.
The more they fought, the greater the gap between the numbers of the two sides, and in the end, the one-eyed wolf and they were completely surrounded by Zhang Mingtong and them, and only three of the dozen or so of the one-eyed wolf's men died.
The four of them were covered in blood, and they were powerless to fight back under the attack of the archers of the Inspection Division, but they were powerless to resist the weapons in their hands waving their hands, but how could the four of them resist the attack of more than 20 archers of the Inspection Division.
One bandit after another was stabbed to death and fell in a pool of blood, and finally only the one-eyed wolf was still alive, surrounded by a dozen archers armed with spears, his cloak was covered in blood like a devil, and the only thing left in the originally fierce eye was despair.
He and his men did not want to surrender, but the other party ignored their cries for mercy, and they also threw all the money they were carrying on the ground, but the other party did not even look at it, they wanted to fight hard, but they were far from being the opponent of the other party.
Now it was only him left, he was gone, the wound on his arm made him unable to lift the knife, he opened his mouth to beg for mercy but a spear stabbed into his throat, he wanted to speak, but he couldn't say a word, and then the spear was pulled out violently, and the one-eyed wolf only felt all his strength flow down the wound in his throat, and then he only felt a whirlwind and knew nothing.
Zhang Mingtong held the spear in his hand and looked at the dozen or so corpses on the ground, including robbers and their own.
They won but no one had the joy of victory, looking at the corpses of his comrades on the ground, Zhang Mingtong only felt heavy in his heart, and everyone else was the same.
But no one wept bitterly, and in this merciless world, the common people had long been accustomed to death, and they just silently covered the corpses of their fallen comrades with cloth, carried them aside, and rearranged themselves to prepare to snipe the robbers who came again.
However, no robbers came again, all the robbers had been controlled by Zhang Shihua and them, and Zhang Shihua came with people as soon as he took control of the robbers.
When Zhang Shihua arrived, Zhang Mingtong and the others had already rearranged the battle formation, and Zhang Shihua breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Zhang Mingtong and them, fortunately, there was no chaos here.
However, seeing that many of Zhang Mingtong's men were injured, Zhang Shihua could also guess that they should have experienced a vicious battle just now.
Zhang Shihua led people up and counted to Zhang Mingtong: Thank you for your hard work, how about the casualties.
Zhang Mingtong replied bitterly: "Lord Hui, one brother was seriously injured, and three or three brothers died in battle.
Zhang Shihua was also stunned when he heard Zhang Mingtong's words, Zhang Shihua did not speak, but walked straight to the side of the seriously injured man.
The archer's palm was cut off by the wrist, although the bleeding was stopped, but the severe pain still made the archer faint, Zhang Shihua glanced at the wounded man and then turned to the guard Li Wu behind him and yelled, why are you still stunned, why don't you carry people to the house quickly, and ask me if there is a Lang Zhong who can heal injuries in the village, if there is no one in the village. Then you go to Dengzhen and find me a Langzhong.
After Li Wu heard Zhang Shihua's words, he hurriedly carried the seriously injured archer to the house with another person, and then walked up to the group of prisoners and asked loudly who would treat the injured and who was Lang Zhong, not to mention that there was really a Lang Zhong among the robbers, that was a middle-aged man with a goatee and a timid look.
When Li Wu led him to Zhang Shihua, he knelt down in front of Zhang Shihua and said to Zhang Shihua: He was not a robber or robber, but was forcibly kidnapped by robbers and robbers to treat their injuries.
Seeing this, Zhang Shihua said to him: This official doesn't care whether you are a robber or a robber, if you want you to cure people for this official, this official will let you go immediately.
The man listened to Zhang Shihua's words, thanked Zhang Shihua, and then hurriedly ran to the house to treat the archer's injuries.
Then Zhang Shihua walked in front of the three archers who died in the battle, turned to Brother Lu Zhang Mingtong and said: These people are our good brothers, and their pensions will be doubled according to what I promised, if they have brothers and are willing to join our inspection department, then bring their brothers to our inspection department!
Understood, Zhang Mingtong replied in a low voice.
Then Zhang Shihua bowed three times to the body of the archer of the inspection department who died in the battle, and said: Zhang Shihua wishes you all a good journey.
When the archers of the Inspection Division saw Zhang Shihua like this, everyone was moved in their hearts, and they followed Zhang Shihua and bowed three times to the corpses of the three people.
Okay, put the bodies of the three brothers together, and then return home with us!
It's my lord, Zhang Mingtong said respectfully.
Zhang Shihua nodded, then turned to all the archers and said: All the archers obey the order, except for the people who guard the prisoners, everyone else should go to clean the battlefield according to the rules of my inspection department.
When all the archers heard Zhang Shihua's words, they all claimed yes, and then they went to clean up the battlefield.
And Zhang Shihua took a few guards and Zhang Shihui's donkey brother and a few of them to the treasury of the village.
In fact, there are no rare things in the treasury, the gold and silver are all taken out by the one-eyed wolf, and there is only some grain left in the treasury except for weapons.
Zhang Shihua didn't look down on these things, but he just asked the accompanying guards to collect all the weapons, and as for the food, they would be distributed to the people of Deng Town.
Then Zhang Shihua and they left here.
When Zhang Shihua and the others came out of the warehouse, the archers of the inspection department also collected all the booty, and in addition to the booty, the archers also found more than a dozen women who were robbed by the archers in the village.
The spoils of war were also counted, and a total of 43 swords, 36 spears, 5 pairs of hard bows, and more than 500 taels of silver were captured in this battle.
Zhang Shihua immediately took out thirty percent of the money and distributed it to all the archers of the Inspection Division in accordance with the rules set before.
Among them, Deng Hu didn't want to accept Zhang Shihua's reward, he said to his chief Zhou Tie: Thanks to the inspection master, I have revenge, and now I have too late to repay the favor, how can I accept the reward of the inspection master.
However, Zhou Tie's next sentence made the stubborn Deng Hu accept the money, Zhou Tie said: The inspector is a brother when you and I are brothers, since you are brothers, you can write down the kindness of the inspector in your heart, why do you have to do this, your behavior seems hypocritical.
Deng Hu heard what Zhou Tie said, nodded and accepted the money.
This time, the archers of the Inspection Division completely surrounded the one-eyed wolf tonight, and none of the robbers escaped, and a total of 54 robber leaders were beheaded and 37 were captured, which can be described as a great victory.
Then the archers of the Inspection Division rested in the stockade for the night, and the next morning the archers simply finished their breakfast and escorted the captives out of the stockade.
However, before leaving, Zhang Shihua ordered the village to be burned down to prevent any robbers from causing trouble here in the future.
