In the field south of Hutou Fort, Liu Jun led the cavalry division and the pro-soldier horse team and the night horse team to gallop, the riders shuttled back and forth, and occasionally some thieves who tried to escape were caught up from time to time and cut down.

Liu Jun was extremely excited, and he did it.

With more than 100 team members riding around the rear of the bandits, forming a formation to block the attack, except for a few thieves who fled on horseback, the rest of the bandits were left behind by Liu Jun. Now that the war is over, less than a tenth of the more than 3,000 thieves have fled.

The bandits completely collapsed, unable to advance or retreat, and surrendered one after another.

It was a perfect win.

"Go to the thief's camp!"

Seeing that the entire situation was basically under control, Liu Jun led the cavalry to turn south. Not to chase the fleeing horse thieves, but to receive the thieves in the camp ten miles south of the city. Thousands of people and horses came from afar, and they must have carried a lot of supplies. The thieves fled in a hurry, and the supplies in the camp would definitely not be taken away.

For this battle, Liu Jun is very satisfied. The six hundred and nine-headed bird team members defeated more than 3,000 bandits alone, not ordinary bandits, but the people and horses of the old thieves. In particular, they not only defeated more than 3,000 bandits, but also achieved great victories, killing more than 1,000 thieves and taking more than 1,000 prisoners.

When the horse team arrived at the thief's camp, it was empty, and there was no thief left, but the camp was still there, and there were even a lot of feather arrows, knives, guns, ammunition, flags, and so on. The soldiers who fled from the city did not enter the camp at all, but ran away, and the few bandits who stayed behind also ran away when they saw this, and no one even remembered to set a torch to burn here.

The entire camp was left intact to the Hydra.

"Tell the young men in the fort to come over, dismantle the camp, and transport everything back to the village." Liu Jun looked at it and gave an order, and then led the team back to Hutou Fort.

He had no interest in continuing to pursue the escaped bandits.

On the way back to the fort, there were corpses of thieves all over the place, especially the thieves' positions in front of the south gate, and several large pits, all of which were artillery positions that the thieves had self-destroyed yesterday.

"Call Zhao Shun to come over." Liu Jun didn't rush into the city, he stopped in front of those big pits and looked at the artillery scattered everywhere. Some of the cannons blew up last night, and some of them flew off and hit when the gunpowder truck exploded, but Liu Jun estimated that among these cannons, there must still be some causes that can be used.

Zhao Shun was quickly summoned, "Check all these cannons of the thieves, transport them back that can be used, take back those that can be repaired if they are broken, and take back the materials that are completely destroyed." ”

Zhao Shun looked at the surroundings excitedly, and said excitedly, "It's all good things, I guess many of them are good." "After all, the artillery thing is rough, except for the direct explosion, otherwise it is not so easy to break even if it collides a few times. On the contrary, the artillery trucks were basically destroyed.

After a brief inspection, Zhao Shun knew that he had guessed correctly, "My lord, there is no problem with at least twenty exterminators, and they can still be used." There are a few others that can probably be repaired, but the gun trucks are all destroyed and have to be redone. Tiger squat cannons are also mostly good, but some need to rebuild some iron claws and iron stumbling, well, some of the iron hammers, scissors, cones, medicine wire boxes, wooden deliveries, wooden hammers and other accessories used in the cannon are mostly damaged and have to be rematched. ”

"Twenty cannons still work?" Liu Jun asked in surprise, he thought it would be good to find a few useful ones, but he didn't want to have so many available.

"My lord, now there are twenty exterminators that are basically in good condition, and I am sure that at least five or six exterminators can be repaired, and as for the Tiger Squat Cannon, after repair, at least more than thirty can be used." Zhao Shun replied seriously.

Liu Jun patted Zhao Shun's arm excitedly and said, "Now I give you an important task, and then the firearms workshop will be fully launched, and these exterminators and tiger squat cannons will be repaired as soon as possible, and the other accessories that are needed, you should buy them and build them, in short, I hope these cannons can be equipped with our nine-headed bird as soon as possible." Do this well, and I'll give you a great credit to all the people in the firearms workshop. ”

More than 20 exterminators, more than 30 tiger squat cannons, even if these can only be regarded as lightweight shotguns, but for the nine-headed bird at this stage, it is also quite a lot of heavy firepower. Liu Jun did not forget the spectacular scene when the thieves put 36 exterminators and dozens of tiger squats under the city to fire a salvo, and the thieves once suppressed the nine-headed bird in the city with these cannons, unable to raise their heads.

The Hydra does not yet have the ability to mass-produce artillery, and the cannon can only be bought, and it is difficult to buy it even if you have money. It was a surprise to win so many cannons at once.

Zhao Shun stared at the cannons with blazing eyes, and turned around excitedly to greet his companions, asking them to call Qingzhuang to come and raise the cannons.

The morning breeze blew, and the battlefield was filled with the smell of gunpowder smoke and blood.

The battlefield was no longer full of shouts and killings, only the wails of many wounded soldiers, and the crows that came from the sky to smell blood and hovered in the sky.

Looking at the corpses all over the ground and the piles of defeated soldiers, Liu Jun couldn't help but feel a little distracted.

"We won, a complete victory!" Liu Jun said slowly.

"Win." Zhang Shan and the others repeated.

"Win, Wansheng!" Feng Sheng raised his arms and shouted.

"Wan Sheng!" The surrounding team members shouted and responded together, Wansheng's calls became more and more, and the team members and people around also responded with cheers, and the cheers gathered one after another, and went straight to the clouds.

The defeated bandits, who were tied in a string of ropes and were walking towards the city under the watchful eye of the Hydra soldiers, looked at all this with a bit of a blankness, they were the losers, and the cheers only reminded them of this fact more and more. No one knows what fate awaits them.

The young and strong people in the tiger head fort were mobilized and came out of the castle to help clean up the battlefield. At this time, they discovered the terrible scene of the battlefield outside the city, and looked at the group of prisoners tied by ropes, everyone was both excited and afraid. Fortunately, the nine-headed bird won, otherwise, they would not know where they are at this time.

Some young and strong people even punched and kicked the captives, which forced Liu Jun to send people on horseback to preach loudly and order that the captives should not be mistreated. Although Liu Jun didn't like these bandits, since they had become prisoners, they couldn't be wasted.

One order after another was handed down, and the victorious Tiger Head Fort began to clean up the battlefield in an orderly manner and make a post-war summary.

Riding back to the fort and walking through the streets of the fort, Liu Jun saw clearly the damage caused by the bandits' fire crow attack last night. Many houses were burned down, and although some were extinguished in time, they also left many traces of smoke and fire.

"In total, 19 houses were burned down, dozens of houses suffered some damage, more than a dozen civilians were killed by fire raven attacks, and dozens more were injured in varying degrees of severity."

Liu Jun nodded, fortunately, those that were burned down were just temporary wooden houses, which were rented to the craftsmen on the construction site, and they were not worth much.

The nine most important houses in the city were not damaged. However, this also made Liu Jun a little afraid, the war is really ruthless, and no one knows what kind of means the enemy will use.

Everyone returned to Yacheng, which was located in the north of the city, and basically did not suffer any losses in the fire crow attack.

After falling off the horse and entering the official hall, everyone felt a wave of tiredness hit at this time. Although my body is very tired, my brain is very excited.

Zhang Shan said with a smile, "This battle is really happy, our nine-headed bird is going to be famous all over the world this time, and everyone knows it." Six hundred regiments practiced and annihilated more than 3,000 old thieves in a battle, and when it was spread, I was afraid that people wouldn't believe it. ”

"Yes, the eldest brother is really like a god. This time, the court will reward meritorious deeds, and you can't give the eldest brother a thousand totals? Wang Qian also laughed.

"This merit, even if you are promoted to a fourth-grade commanding officer, it can't be done."

After killing so many bandits, he must be promoted, and everyone hopes that Liu Jun will be promoted this time. Liu Jun is their boss, and if Liu Jun is promoted, they will naturally be promoted.

However, Liu Jun is not as optimistic as them, and things are not so simple. The annihilation of a battalion of thieves is indeed a great achievement, but the merit is indeed too great, so big that it can shock everyone. In the end, this matter has to depend on the follow-up operation, if no one helps Liu Jun and the nine-headed bird to speak out, I am afraid that this credit may not be kept in the end.

"Don't be in a hurry to be happy just yet, and do the aftermath well. All the captives were cross-interrogated, and all the officers among them were taken out and separated. In addition, the corpses of the thieves were counted, the heads were cut off, salted in lime, registered and stored in the storehouse, and the corpses were transported outside the city to be buried. In addition, the weapons and armor scattered by the thieves were also collected and registered. ”

"I heard that Ma Shoucheng is dead, we must find his body and keep it well. In addition, the flags and seals of the bandits that were seized must also be searched and preserved. ”

These things are important evidence that they annihilated a battalion of thieves, without which many things would not be clear.

"There are still a few important things that need to be done immediately, count the casualties of each banner, and treat them in time. In addition, it is also necessary to make clear statistics on all kinds of seizures in a timely manner. In addition, we immediately began to record and verify the merits and performance of the soldiers in this battle. ”

"There is another one, let all levels immediately carry out post-war summing up and discussion, sum up the experience of the battle, find out the shortcomings in the battle, and so on."

After making many demands in a row, Liu Jun did not forget to promulgate a piece of good news to everyone at this time of victory.

"Now, immediately order the whole group, all team members will be given a special reward, and each person will be rewarded with 500 points!"

Zhang Shan asked Liu Jun, "We've been fighting here for two days and two nights, and we haven't seen a single soldier come to help, damn it, should we send someone to inform you of the good news now?" ”

Everyone has some opinions on this point, and after fighting for so long, none of the officers and soldiers have seen them. Although Hutoubao is seventy miles away from Macheng County, the seventy-mile road is enough to come one day, but now two days have passed, and no one has come. Fortunately, everyone won the battle, otherwise they would have waited for their reinforcements, and it would have been really over.

"They're coming just in time, where is our huge victory." Liu Jun said with a smile, but he was also secretly dissatisfied with the slow response of the government in his heart. "Forget it, don't complain, send someone to the county seat and notify the other side. Remember to tell them that two or three hundred thieves had fled south on horseback, and let them send someone to intercept them. ”
