After clearing the battlefield, dozens of fast horses were obtained, and these fast horses were temporarily tied to Zhuangzi, Xiao Yi and others began to discuss with Liu Si how to exterminate the cottage as quickly as possible. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Because the soldiers had just won the victory and were eager to return home, Xiao Yi understood that he naturally couldn't delay here for too long.

According to Liu Si, this bandit village originally had more than 600 bandits and more than 200 horse thieves, because it was outside the pass, since the end of Wanli, there were few officers and soldiers here who would take care of it, and many villages here were devastated, and the scarred face was the leader of the horse thieves.

That being said, the other commander is very different from Scarface, and his status in the cottage has plummeted, and it is most appropriate to say that he is overshadowed by Scarface.

So, most of the bandits only know Scarface, and no one else.

This time, there were nearly 200 horse thieves and more than 200 bandits, and none of them escaped, all of whom were killed by the cavalry of the Yong'an Army.

In other words, there are only a few dozen horse thieves left in this cottage who have no leader, and about 400 bandits, and the other commander does not know that Scarface is dead, so he will not dare to act rashly.

After groaning, Xiao Yi felt that this was an opportunity, and said, "At present, these thieves don't know that we have come here, so they can plan and sneak into the cottage. ”

Although there were only more than 200 cavalry members of the Yong'an Army, Xiao also believed that as long as he led people to rush to the village, the general trend would be decided!

The only thing to worry about is that the bandits refuse to defend, they lack firearms, and casualties will inevitably occur under the strong attack, these soldiers are all treasures, Xiao Yi is reluctant to kill one for the sake of just one thief, so he has to set a foolproof plan.

Later, Liu Si found more than 20 surviving men, most of whom were around 30 to 40 years old, to introduce Xiao Yi and others to the terrain near the cottage.

These days, a lot of chaotic people came here, so there are many faces in the mountain, Houjin disdains to care about this kind of banditry, and the Ming officers and soldiers do not dare to go out, so these bandits are mostly empty-eyed, and their guards are lax on weekdays.

Liu Si proposed that a man with five big and three thick coarse men could be used to pretend to be a thief, and it would not be a problem for others to sneak into the cottage in the clothes of a thief.

As soon as the words fell, a person came out and said.

"General, I'd better do this job of pretending to be a bandit."

Xiao Yi and a few people looked over, it was actually Wang Dashan, and Liu Si looked at him and kept nodding, it was too similar.

So everyone brainstormed and came up with a plan.

Originally, Liu Si just wanted to rescue his mother-in-law, but the more he discussed, the more he felt wrong, Xiao Yi was discussing how to rescue his mother-in-law, and they were discussing how to directly serve the entire cottage!

Speaking of ending the cottage, Liu Si didn't want to, but he was indeed a little worried, this thief was the largest number of people in the vicinity, and after living here for more than 20 years, Liu Si wanted to suppress these thieves more than anyone else.

Before the worry was spoken, seeing Xiao Yi's cavalry, all of them eager to try, Liu Si's heart was also a lot calmer, or did he keep silent, what if it happened?

Without further ado, just do what you say.

A group of cavalry and the people worked together, led by Huang Yang and others, to drag the bodies of the killed thieves together, and the cavalry of the Yong'an Army stored their respective armor in Zhuangzi.

The tattered clothes of these thieves on their inner chain mail jackets looked like there was nothing wrong with them, and if you didn't look closely, you couldn't tell that they were still wearing clothes inside.

picked up the tattered sabers of these thieves again, and the group swaggered towards the thieves' cottage.

The village fort was already at the foot of the mountain, and after walking for less than half an hour, I saw the 'cottage' of these bandits.

At the foot of the mountain, there is a simple checkpoint built with wood and bamboo, and five or six bandits in rags are holding sabers and talking and laughing.

Seeing this group of people coming from afar, these bandits didn't think much about it at all, but they didn't open the wooden door directly, and a small leader of the bandits lazily rushed down and asked.

"How did you go out for so long?"

It was not Xiao Yi who was the first to start, nor Liu Si and Shi Gang and others, but Wang Dashan with more than a dozen villagers, who looked very normal.

Wang Dashan's appearance of five big and three coarse, plus he was a horse thief in Dafang Mountain, this time he also returned to his old job, and when he heard the question of the thief above, he opened his mouth and smiled.

Then with a look of pity on his face, he said angrily: "The village fort was finally taken by the brothers desperately, damn it, we are really raised by the stepmother, those who have horses are having fun there, but let us escort these natives." ”

Wang Dashan was originally a horse thief, and the difference between these horse thieves and foot thieves naturally knew that the people in which village were the same, and the leader valued those who had horses, and a horse thief was comparable to ten foot thieves.

Hearing Wang Dashan's words, the thieves above hurriedly ran down and opened the wooden door, which was also helpless.

"Who says it's not, don't talk about brothers, go to the village and drink some local wine to warm up, and when those who have horses have had enough, maybe we can eat some leftovers."

Wang Dashan glanced at Xiao Yi quietly, and after seeing Xiao Yi nodding slowly, he walked into the cottage with a smile.

I have to say that this Wang Dashan pretended to be a thief, if Xiao Yi didn't know Wang Dashan, I'm afraid he would really regard him as a pure thief, talking and laughing with those thieves along the way, hooking shoulders and backs as if he wanted a good brother, and walked towards the innermost.

The rest of the Yong'an cavalry escorted the villagers, and they just followed behind, cautiously observing the surrounding bandits.

These thieves didn't seem to be surprised by the people coming outside, no one looked at them carefully, and no one interrogated them, they were all eating, drinking, and playing in groups of three.

If there is an old thief rod to look carefully, you will see a flash of light from the waists of these 'bandits' who have just entered, see the frowns of these people, and feel the murderous aura that has been deliberately suppressed.

After entering the gate at the foot of the mountain, Xiao also found that this cottage was not as good as the bandit cottage in Datong, there was only such a defensive level, and the meeting hall inside was recommended to be built.

While walking, in front of the door of the meeting hall, two relatively strong bandits stood outside, shouting at the small leader of the bandits who led Wang Dashan.

"Pole, why don't you keep the door closed well, what are you doing in the White Tiger Hall?"

The little leader of the bandits who led Wang Dashan in seemed to be a little afraid of the people inside, so he sighed, laughed, and was about to speak.

But when he heard that Wang Dashan, who had always been pleasant-looking, suddenly shouted violently, pulled out a shiny long knife out of nowhere, and stabbed it into the belly of a bandit leader standing outside the White Tiger Hall.

The bandit leader's eyes widened, and only then did he see the shiny chain mail that emerged from between Wang Dashan's clothes, pointed there, and opened his mouth to say something.

"Official... Officers and soldiers..."

The rest of the bandits were shocked, how could the officers and soldiers come!?

At this time, Xiao Yi raised his knife and shouted: "Soldiers, kill thieves!" ”

Hearing Xiao Yi's order, Liu Si and the others took out their steel knives one after another, and when these bandits were still panicking, they burst out, tearing off the tattered clothes they were wearing, revealing the fine chain mail inside, and almost all the surrounding bandits were cut down with a knife.

Only a few old thieves reacted quickly and hid in the White Tiger Hall.

But Shi Gang followed, kicked it as he closed the gate, and then led dozens of cavalry to rush in, and it wasn't long before the screams of the bandits could be heard inside.

After easily capturing the White Tiger Hall, Xiao Yi knew that the cottage was over, but he couldn't take it lightly, and ordered Wang Dayong, Liu Si, Huang Yang, Shi Lu, Liu Tong and others to lead the cavalry and villagers to rush into the cottage in different ways.

A few people nodded their heads one by one, led the cavalry and the villagers, rushed like a thief in the cottage and cut down, and soon the screams of the thieves sounded from all over the cottage.

Even those self-proclaimed old thieves have few opponents of the Yong'an cavalry, not to mention those bandits who are no different from the chaotic people, in front of the Yong'an cavalry, they have no ability to resist at all.

Soon the shouting and killing in the cottage subsided, leaving only the corpses of the bandits in one place.

At this time, Huang Yang walked back with more than a dozen cavalrymen with blood on their bodies.

"General, come and take a look!"

Xiao Yi glanced at the anxious Huang Yang, and without saying a word, he followed him to the back mountain, and didn't go far before he heard a loud cry.

Entering the back mountain, Xiao Yi and the others saw Liu Si who was kneeling and crying bitterly, and asked Huang Yang.

"Could it be that the fourth sister-in-law...?"

Huang Yang nodded helplessly and told the whole story.

Liu Si and Huang Yang led people to attack the back mountain, and the dozen or so guarding bandits were quickly killed, and there were many women locked up here, most of whom were in tattered clothes.

And it's a stinking place, not at all like a place where people live.

After Huang Yang inquired, he learned from a woman that when the fourth sister-in-law was arrested a few months ago, she was killed by a thief because of her fierce resistance, and the thief was also killed by Liu Si just now.

Xiao Yi first walked behind Liu Si and wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say, he just sighed and patted Liu Si on the shoulder.

Then he looked at the wooden house in front of him, walked in, and a sour smell came to his face, smelling this smell, Xiao Yi already understood a lot in his heart, it seems that these bandits don't treat these people as human beings at all.

Without covering his mouth and nose, Xiao Yi strode in, looking at these women curled up in the corner, he felt a little unbearable in his heart, and opened his mouth and said, "Everyone come out quickly, we are Inspector Sun's subordinates, and we will take you to Guannei." ”

These women were a little unconvinced at first, but after seeing Xiao Yi take out the token, a bold woman stepped forward to take a closer look, and then saw that those thieves who usually oppressed themselves were killed by people wearing officer and soldier armor one by one.

"Why are you here?"

"Woooooo

Only then did some women begin to believe it, and they didn't know whether they were happy or sad, and the women in the room hugged each other and cried bitterly.

Xiao Yidu is like this, and the rest of the Yong'an Army cavalry did not dare to show the slightest hint even if they were cold to the breath inside, and after Xiao Yidang walked into the wooden house first and picked up a woman.

Shi Lu and the others followed one by one, each helping a woman.

The rest of the Yong'an cavalry faced each other, and after hesitating for a while, they walked into the wooden house one after another, and their faces lost the disgust they had at the beginning, and they no longer covered their mouths and noses.

Maybe it's been a long time since the good days in Ulzhou, and they have all forgotten the miserable scene outside, and when they see the scene here, they suddenly remember the old days, and there is not much difference from these women.

If it weren't for Xiao Yi, I'm afraid there would be many people in their family who would be like these women.

Thinking of this, there were constantly cavalrymen stepping on the filth and dirt on the ground, helping these women with a pleasant face, and carefully helping them to rest in the White Tiger Hall.

These women were also moved to see these officers and soldiers without the slightest disgust.
