Chapter 21: The Diary of the Annihilation of the Bandits' Den

However, he said that since Wang Ping, Du Dazhuang, and Zhang Jian led 2,000 men and horses, and the commander was responsible for suppressing bandits. The three of them walked around with the army, and the eight bandit dens within the two cities were directly eliminated, and only the largest three remained. There is no way, where the army arrives, there is really nothing to start with the hundreds of irregular troops in those bandit dens.

As soon as the army pulled in front of the bandits' den, those bandits directly raised the white flag and surrendered, without the power to resist at all. Along the way, nearly 2,000 bandits and more than 3,000 bandit families were captured, and 2,000 weapons and 500 sets of leather armor were seized. At the same time, there are tens of thousands of various resources, which is not a small amount, at least it can make Xiao Chen's frugal life less than two days. There are more than 70,000 copper coins and more than 100 taels of silver, and in general the harvest is quite rich.

Of course, the three largest bandit dens have not yet been beaten, and if those three bandit dens also surrender directly, it is estimated that the harvest will be even greater. But the remaining three bandit dens are not very easy to fight, after all, the three larger bandit dens have more than 1,000 people. Even if there aren't many elite troops, the numbers are there. Even if you fight a thousand people, even if you are a militia, you have to have casualties, let alone these guys with bloody knives.

The three commanders first came to the front of a group of bandits closest to the army, and out of caution, the army set up a simple military fortress for the time being. Rows of wooden fences with a few horses resisted, and in this way, the whole Dazhai took almost an hour. Fortunately, I didn't let those uncle-level soldiers wait too long, otherwise these soldiers and ruffians are estimated to be able to make trouble for most of the day.

The camp is not very tall, only three meters high, with a radius of about 500 steps, just enough to accommodate 2,000 troops and grain and grass materials. After the three commanders set up the Chinese army's tent, the three generals kicked the soldiers away. The reason is, Nima's, it's really strange that you can pitch a tent for so long. Let the uncle bask in the sun outside for most of the day, and it would be good if he didn't enforce military law for you.

Entering the big tent of the Chinese army, the three bastards began to discuss how to take down the cottage in front of them. Originally, according to Lao Du's idea, the army would attack directly. Think our 2,000-strong army can't beat a small den of bandits?

Then, the other two immediately beat up the stupid goods. Even Wang Ping's guy made a scud on this goods, and directly kicked this girl out of the big tent.

Nima, what do you call advice? You don't know what kind of temperament your boss has, but you are really talented when you can come up with this method. If you really continue to do this, it is better to say that the loss is small, but once it is big, it is not the labor and management that I am responsible for. You're going to kill my prince, it's really a loss to kick you just now, you should kick two more feet.

So, there were only two people left in the big tent to discuss. Du Dazhuang walked into the big tent with a sad face, and stood there for a long time before he realized that he was directly ignored by these two people. Woo woo tears streaming down his face.

In the end, Wang Ping and the two discussed for most of the day. In the end, it was decided that it was Nima's hard attack, and the strategy was really not very useful. The fire attack is not good, people are nesting in the cottage, Wang Ping doesn't think that those bandits are so stupid that they don't even have fire prevention measures in their own nest. Flooding is even more of a joke, there are small rivers nearby, and I haven't seen a big river. Although the sea is not far from the north of Donglin City, could it be that he led the sea water to flood this nest of bandits? I haven't lived enough, not to mention whether the pay and harvest are worth it, just my own boss will pass. If Xiao Chen knew that he planned to flood the bandits with seawater, he would definitely be able to scrape himself alive.

Therefore, fire and water will not work. Wai Wei to save Zhao is exempt, except for the bandits' nest, I really don't know what valuable places can be surrounded. It seems impossible to lure the bandits out of the village, and the 2,000 people on their side are in a position here, and it is estimated that those bandits will not rush out stupidly to fight a decisive battle.

Yes, I had to storm it. Wang Ping immediately gave Du Dazhuang an order, ordering him to lead his troops to attack the bandit cottage first. Lao Du listened to Wang Ping's order and almost died of anger. Nima, didn't you say you can't storm it? Why do you want labor and management to be the vanguard to do this work now? Ya, you don't have to give you a good advice, you have to spend most of the day to admit that the master is very smart, and he has been attacked early for so long.

Complaining is complaining, you still have to go to the striker, and if you dare not go, you will disobey the military order and cut off your head. Du Dazhuang led five hundred archers, five hundred single sword soldiers, and five hundred sword and shield soldiers, and began to set off as a team.

At this moment, a group of fast horses came running in the distance. The herald shouted as he drove the tired horses below, "Urgent military situation, urgent military situation." The army, which had lined up to go out, immediately dispersed a road, and the herald ran to the big tent of the Chinese army in one breath before stopping.

Wang Pingzheng and Zhang Jian were chatting about those very manly things, who knew that the big tent was suddenly opened, breaking the secret meeting between the two. Wang Ping was angry, didn't he say it, no one was allowed to come in, and no one was allowed to disturb. Could it be that General Ben's words are the wind in his ears, and he forgot about it when it blew past?

"Report to the general, the brother who reconnoitred the enemy situation at the front reported that the door of the bandit cottage had been opened, and the military flag of our army's 'Chen' character had been hung on the city wall. At the same time, the enemy leaders were on their way. As soon as the herald entered the tent, he immediately knelt down on one knee to report the military situation.

What do you mean, could it be that those bandits are going to surrender again? If this is the case, then how can I still have military merits to take, I can't report to myself Boss: A few days of suppressing bandits have not been beheaded. It is estimated that the boss will be even more popular, and maybe he can be punished for the crime of bullying the king.

Uh, forget it. Everyone is on their way here, and it's a bit shameless to see it. The rivers and lakes are desperate to live, isn't it just to save face. Besides, it's good to surrender, you don't have to worry about losing the battle, and you don't have to worry about losing your troops.

After listening to Xiao Bing's report, Wang Ping waved his hand, and Xiao Bing got out of here very consciously. After that, Du Dazhuang was called back again, and the army that was about to leave was not disbanded, and was directly lined up outside the barracks to wait for the arrival of the other party's envoy.

It didn't take long for a dozen knights to appear in front of the camp. Take a closer look, a typical reckless image. The messy beard on his face, the earthworm-like scars, and the mixture of the cloth clothes and leather armor very vividly show the appearance of the ancient non-mainstream.

"Welcome. Now that you have joined our army, you are now a family. Let's go, everyone talks in the tent. "When the bandits arrived, Wang Ping went up and said a word.

"General Wang is too polite, how can the general of the small defeated army be worthy of the general personally going out of the camp to greet him." A white-faced scholar walked out on the opposite side, and no one expected that the king of the bandits on the opposite side was actually such a scholar scribe who looked like the wind was blowing.

Fang Wensheng got a group of officers and soldiers who were suppressing bandits everywhere today, and now they have exterminated five nests of bandit compatriots and set up a large camp in front of their house. When I first got the news, a large group of second-class goods under my command actually shouted that they were going to go out of the village and fight to the death with the officials and soldiers. Fortunately, Fang Wensheng's brain is still good, and the other party was able to throw out an army of two thousand in one go to suppress the bandits, which shows that the other party's strength is definitely not something that he can resist. So, for the sake of the big guy's life, Fang Wensheng decided to surrender to the official army against public opinion. Anyway, you can't beat it, so why die so many brothers in vain. said here, if you surrender to the official army, then you will be considered to have entered the official career, and you will be one step ahead.

I heard that the army is strict, and there is no freedom. Maybe there are still people who drink and eat a lot, but the battalion female branch is really gone, but it's like being killed by the official army. Otherwise, you won't be able to eat anything you want after you die, let alone the camp girl's branch, even if the super Japanese actress of the later generations comes, you can only watch it.

looked at a large group of generals and soldiers standing in front of the barracks. Immediately sped up the speed of the horse, and originally thought that he should run over and salute quickly, so as not to stumble his future family. But no one expected Wang Ping to speak first and give himself enough face. Now his face is Lao Wang, but he can't be polite, after all, this is still his future boss.

The two of them smiled and agreed a few words, and they walked into the big tent hand in hand and began to discuss the surrender in a comprehensive way. Well, there's really nothing to negotiate. Soon, all the heroes led by Fang Wensheng laid down their arms and surrendered after getting the position of general and lieutenant that they were satisfied with.

As a result, the camp that had just been set up for two hours had to be demolished again. Don't you keep the birds? The army is leaving, why are you still leaving the camp, do you think you will have time to come here to be nostalgic, the army lined up in a long line, and began to spread slowly.

After coming to Fang Wensheng's cottage, sure enough, the city gate was wide open, not only a thousand bandits honestly stood outside the village to lay down their weapons, squatted down and hugged their heads, but even the nearly three thousand old and weak women and children of the bandits' relatives were also standing outside and squatting. Nima, this surrender is really professional.

It was very simple to collect weapons, clean up the booty, and then a group of bandit leaders, including Fang Wensheng, all continued to fight with the army. The rest of the 1,000 troops and 3,000 civilians were again escorted back to the nearby city by 500 cavalry.

To be honest, Wang Ping felt that although his boss didn't give him a lot of troops this time, the five hundred cavalry was really right. Nai Nai was a bear, and the large number of prisoners of war before were worried for most of the day, and in the end, they had no choice but to call the five hundred baby bumps to escort the prisoners and supplies back to the city. But no one expected that the five hundred cavalry would come back not long after. Wang Ping thought that all the prisoners of war had escaped, or that the 500 goods had slaughtered the prisoners of war. I know that when I see these guys, not only are people tired like dead dogs, but even horses are tired and panting. In the end, Wang Ping also had to admit that it was too convenient for the cavalry to escort the prisoners. Five hundred cavalry in front of this bandit's den is not as good as infantry. But if he escorts the captives, not only does he not have to worry about the captives escaping, after all, it is still easy for the four-legged ones to catch up with the two-legged ones. And after escorting the prisoners back to the city, they can also quickly run back to help the momentum, which is really convenient.

Of course, every one of the cavalrymen in this group was happy. Nima, you are cavalry, the king of land battles is not a joke, and he ends up with a mission to escort prisoners. General Wang, are you kidding us? I thought that I had escorted the prisoners' supplies last time, and after rushing back quickly, I would come to fight. As a result, a group of gentlemen were tired and half-dead, and when they came back, they were escorting prisoners again, and they didn't bring such a cheat.

Military orders are like mountains. There was no way, and a group of cavalrymen had no choice but to continue escorting the prisoners with sad faces. Is this special because the men are too good or the guys are unlucky, I hope you don't escort the captives to death.

In the evening, it had been two hours since the cavalry left. And Xiao Chen's army "assembled at the banner of the Chinese army." The sword and shield soldiers protect the archers, and the spearmen fight separately. Wang Ping shouted at the chaotic army. At the same time, the soldiers of Donglin City also formed a group at the big flag after seeing the big flag with the word Chen in Donglin City erected.

The elite is the elite, which bandits and militias cannot compare. In the chaos of the battle, an elite army can be regrouped from the ground up faster, and of course, if the enemy's attack is too strong, it will also collapse directly.

After Wang Ping sent out 500 cavalry to escort the prisoners, there were only 1,500 people. Originally, the army was on its way to the next bandit's den, but it was ambushed. This can make Wang Pingqi not light, Nima, all the people in the reconnaissance team must be fired. Grandma, she was actually ambushed by bandits, it's really embarrassing.

The soldiers of Donglin City originally advanced in three columns, with sword and shield soldiers on the outside, archers in the middle, and spearmen in the other column. Almost every archer is guaranteed to have a sword and shield soldier by his side, and at the same time, the army is also guaranteed to form a three-person battle formation in the fastest time. Facts have proved that this formation invented by Xiao Chen is indeed very good, although because of the gap in weapons, this three-person battle formation is not as good as it is now, but the military theory is far beyond hundreds of years after all.

But this formation, the army of Donglin City did not use it for too long. After gathering more than 1,000 people at the banner of the Chinese army, the battle formation of the three-person group immediately changed. Originally, the three sword and shield soldiers were in front, the archers were in the middle, and the spearmen were in the back, which was very like a mandarin duck array. But now it has become a hedgehog array composed of hundreds of people, and a shield wall has been erected by the large infantry shields, and the three-meter-long spears have stretched out from the shield wall one by one, giving people a sense of visual impact of a gun. The remaining 300 or so archers were even more cruel, standing behind the human wall, and desperately firing arrows in front of the infantry. Not only did it inflict a lot of casualties on the enemy, but it also relieved the pressure on the shield soldiers in the front row. It turns out that the class invented by the ancestors is still very powerful, and of course the most powerful crossbowmen have not yet come out.

More than 1,000 people lined up in a terrifying formation, killing and wounding the enemy soldiers, and the rest of the soldiers continued to fight in a three-person battle formation. At this moment, a rush of thunder suddenly remembered
