A year ago, Hua'an had captured the envoy of Zhao in this nest, made great contributions, and was relatively familiar with the terrain here, among the three thousand troops, in addition to Hua'an, Wang San, Tie Niu and more than a dozen veterans were also familiar with here.

Hua An and Thunderstorm stood on a mountain bag, looked at the bandits' lair not far away, and discussed the strategy of attacking.

"Big brother, there are up to two thousand bandits here, and we can attack them." Thunderstorms build yì road.

"We came here a year ago, and there is a small road in the back mountain, as long as we block the back road of the bandits, none of the bandits will be able to escape." Wang San said.

Hua An nodded and ordered: "Wang San, you immediately lead the three hundred soldiers of the pro-soldier brigade to go around to the back mountain, you are familiar with the terrain, go!" ”

"Don't worry! Big brother, don't let a single bandit escape. After Wang San finished speaking, he took the three hundred warriors of the pro-soldier brigade and quietly forced towards the back mountain.

After Wang San left, Hua An looked at Thunderstorm, Zhao Wu and Tie Niu, and said softly: "Listen, Wang San will reach the back mountain within half an hour, and after half an hour, Zhao Wu and Tie Niu, you two will each lead a thousand soldiers from their base camp to attack the cottage head-on with me, Thunderstorm, you lead the cavalry battalion to press the formation in the back, and block this place, so that the bandits have no way to escape, do you understand?" ”

"Big brother, we all understand." The three thunderstorms spoke in unison.

Hua An nodded, and continued: "The composition of the bandits is complex, there are villains who are extremely guilty and committed adultery, there are also frustrated people who are desperate and forced to make a living, and many of them are ordinary mountain people who have been held hostage by the bandits and have to be bandits. ”

"Yes, big brother, we remember." The three of them responded with their fists clasped.

Half an hour later, estimating that Wang San had entered the back mountain and cut off the bandits' escape path, Hua An stretched out his hand and made a move, and the two thousand well-trained tiger and wolf divisions, under the leadership of the camp owner Zhao Wu and Tie Niu, shed their disguises and strode towards the bandits' lair.

Hua An followed behind the team, responsible for command and dispatch, and the reason why he dared to attack directly from the front without first probing the enemy's deployment and traps was because he had fought here a year ago, and he had a general understanding of the deployment of the bandits and the possible location of the traps.

Second, exterminating the bandits is only secondary, the main purpose of Hua'an is to temper the actual combat ability of his subordinates, so that the soldiers can see more about what it means to fight, what is the real battlefield environment, and what unexpected situations will be encountered in actual combat, such as enemy ambushes and preset traps, which must be understood by the soldiers.

In addition, a frontal attack can completely destroy the enemy's will to resist, show the confidence and momentum of the Great Jin Army, and let the bandits surrender on their own initiative.

The army of two thousand, with the shield bearer in front and the spear and crossbowman in the back, lined up in a neat pace to approach the bandit's lair, which was quite grandiose, so that the bandit Xiao Luo, who was in charge of letting go of the wind, was so frightened that his legs were weak, and he hurriedly reported to the leader tremblingly.

When the bandit leader heard the encirclement and suppression of the officers and soldiers, he was also so shocked that his eyes were about to fall out, and he hurriedly beckoned the big and small Luo in the cottage to defend in front of the gate of the village.

Standing on the wall, looking at the well-equipped officers and soldiers, who were pressing neatly, the bandit leader also gasped, he knew that with the bandits who had never practiced, he would definitely not be able to beat the well-trained officers and soldiers, but he also understood that once he surrendered, Xiao Luo in the village was likely to be fine, but as the leader of the bandits, he would definitely not escort him to the government, and it would be light to cut off his head according to the crime.

"Brothers, release the arrows, release them to me." The bandit leader shouted orders, and he decided to make a desperate gamble and break the net with the officers and soldiers.

"Whoosh"

The bandit Xiao Luo was ordered to shoot arrows one after another at the 2,000 army under the command of Hua An.

"Bell Bell Bell ......"

Most of the arrows fired by the bandits were blocked on the shields of the soldiers of the Northern Expeditionary Army, causing only a small amount of damage to the Northern Expeditionary Army.

Seeing that he had already entered the range of the bandits' bows and arrows, Hua An said loudly: "The whole army stops, and the bows and crossbows are ready." ”

When the soldiers heard the order, they immediately stopped, and the shield bearers in the front row raised their shields to cover the soldiers behind, while the crossbowmen in the back row bent their bows and arrows in the direction of the bandits' lair, waiting for the order to launch.

"Shoot the arrows."

"Whoosh...... Under Hua An's order, thousands of sharp arrows whistled in the direction of the bandit's lair.

Since the bandits didn't have any decent equipment at all, after a round of arrow rain, the bandits in the cottage fell one piece, and of course, many of them were only shot and injured in the hands and feet, and there was no major problem.

All the wounded bandits lie on the ground and refuse to get up, even if they can go into battle, after all, people are afraid of death, and they don't want to die for the bandit leader at all.

After a few rounds of arrow rain, the thieves in the cottage have become popular, but they are still struggling to support themselves under the strong orders of the bandit leader and some small leaders of the dead party.

The bows and arrows shot from the bandits' lair became more and more sparse, and Hua An saw that the time was ripe, and shouted: "Soldiers, attack, attack with all your might." ”

"Kill ......" The two thousand soldiers heard the order, and they all got up and attacked forward, and the crossbowmen released arrows as they charged.

The bows and arrows shot by the bandits caused some soldiers to fall under the arrows, and the traps laid on the ground also caused some soldiers to be tricked, including some of their comrades who had died.

But what made Hua An happy was that in the face of these difficulties, the two thousand warriors were not frightened, but completely attacked forward without hesitation according to the order, and the formation was not scattered at all.

Two thousand warriors soon attacked the gate of the walled gate, and after a bloody battle, they broke through the gate of the bandit's lair and killed it.

Hua An rushed into the bandits' lair, looked at the thousands of bandits with weapons in hand, and shouted: "Those who lay down their arms and surrender will be spared death, and those who resist to the end will be killed." ”

"Lay down your arms and surrender them all!" Iron Bull followed and shouted.

"Don't kill me, I surrender." A bandit Xiao Luo threw away his weapon first, ran to the side of the Northern Expeditionary Army's soldiers, and squatted on the ground honestly with his head in his hands.

"I surrender, I surrender ......"

In the blink of an eye, dozens of bandits laid down their arms and surrendered to the Northern Expeditionary Army.

"Don't surrender, kill me." The bandit leader was furious and shouted loudly for Xiao Luo to fight.

Under the compulsion of a group of big and small leaders, coupled with the distrust of the officers and soldiers, more than 1,000 bandits rushed to the Northern Expeditionary Army.

"Stubbornly resist to the end, all of them will be killed, and ...... will be killed" Hua An shouted loudly, and personally led 2,000 subordinates to kill the bandits.

The strong soldiers against the weak soldiers, the well-trained against the never trained, the result was no suspense, the fight lasted not long, more than a thousand bandits were defeated, and then with their familiarity with the terrain, scattered and fled.
