On October 5, Ye Teng instructed Zhao Qing to take a good look at his home, regularly visit Chen Xi and others who were sent outside to study art, and take Chen Ping and Xiahou Xiu back in time after their study period expired.

After that, he and Cai Hui led all the troops of Ye Mansion to go out of Jingcheng County to suppress bandits.

The first target of the anti-bandit mission was a rudimentary cottage 50 miles west of Jingcheng County. Judging from the map, there is a miniature cottage about 3 miles east of this cottage, so Ye Teng led his troops towards this miniature cottage on the first day. When they were about to arrive at the cottage, Ye Teng and Cai Hui brought advanced soldiers and crushed them.

In less than an hour, 42 bandits were killed, 27 minions surrendered, and 5 first-order soldiers surrendered, and Ye Teng only paid the price of 3 first-order soldiers being injured, and won the victory, and spent the night in the cottage.

The next day, Ye Teng left half of the soldiers, led by a third-order soldier, to stay in the cottage, guard the prisoners, and take care of the wounded. He and Cai Hui led the remaining soldiers to approach the primary cottage 3 miles away.

Ye Teng asked Cai Hui to go first and personally capture two prisoners to understand the enemy's situation. This matter was a piece of cake for Cai Hui, and he quickly caught two captives, and after separate interrogation, he basically understood the specific situation of the cottage:

The cottage occupies Fuling Mountain, calls itself Fuling Village, there are about 600 bandits, and the owner of the big village and the second village are all junior generals. Fuling Mountain is steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack, there is only one mountain road leading to the top of the mountain from the foot of the mountain, and on the way, the bandits set up two checkpoints. About 20% of the bandits are sent out of the mountain to rob every day, and the robbers have to pass through a trail that crosses a dense forest at the foot of the mountain to enter and leave the village.

Ye Teng decided to lead the soldiers all the way to the mountain road in the dense forest, and then ambush it to continuously weaken the living force of the bandits.

By the time we arrived at the ambush site, it was almost noon, and the sunlight reflected a strong effect of light and shadow through the branches of the trees, and occasionally, a few birdsongs, and some birds jumped out of the bushes and flew off into the distance with a little panic.

Ye Teng arranged troops to ambush on both sides of the road, and specially arranged more troops, with Cai Hui personally leading the team to guard the last link to the cottage, striving not to let a bandit run to the cottage, so as to continue the ambush tomorrow. After the ambush was set, he immediately ordered everyone to have lunch, and then, ready to fight at any time.

At about 2 o'clock in the afternoon, the first batch of about 20 bandits who went out to rob came back with a full harvest and a lot of gains.

Under the leadership of Ye Teng and Cai Hui, more than 80 people swarmed out, killing only 3 people, and in a shout of "those who descend will not kill", they forced all the bandits to surrender. They weren't even hurt.

Clean up the battlefield as fast as you can, tie up the captives, take them away from the roadside, and ambush them again. This was repeated, and before dark, a total of 4 waves of bandits were ambushed, and the largest wave was nearly 50 people, causing certain casualties to their own side. On that day, a total of 51 bandits were killed, 82 bandits were forced to surrender, and a batch of money, food, weapons and equipment were seized; 7 were killed and 12 were wounded.

It is expected that all the bandits who went out to rob today have been wiped out, and no fish have escaped the net. After trying to restore the battlefield environment as much as possible, take the captives back to the miniature cottage to rest.

The next day, let the soldiers who had fought the day before stay in the cottage to rest and guard the prisoners. Ye Teng and Cai Hui led the soldiers who stayed behind the day before yesterday to fight and continued to ambush the old place.

Fuling Village really didn't find anything abnormal, because according to the captives, the bandits went out to rob, and sometimes Lu Yuan could also spend the night outside.

So the next day was still smooth, 121 bandits were wiped out, only 26 people were killed, 95 people were captured, and their own casualties were even less, only 2 people were killed and 5 people were wounded.

That night, after discussing with Cai Hui, Ye Teng felt that it was extremely likely that he would be found to be abnormal tomorrow, so he decided to delay the ambush site for another mile to avoid too many bandits pouring out of the mountains at one time and fighting a war of attrition that would hurt both sides.

Therefore, starting from the third day, for two consecutive days, Ye Teng adopted the strategy of delaying the ambush and cautiously attracting monsters, and eliminated nearly 200 bandits, so far, there are only more than 200 bandits left on the cottage.

On the fifth day, according to the news of the spies, the bandits did not go out to rob today, and they all shrank in the cottage. Ye Teng let go of more than 30 surrendered bandits with a loyalty of more than 70 and joined the guards, greatly liberating the guards' troops, and brought out 120 soldiers in one go, preparing to fight the bandits in the semifinals.

Ye Teng and Cai Hui led the team to rush to the site of the ambush on the first day, and sure enough, it was quiet everywhere, and there was no half of the bandits in sight.

Ye Tengxiang let the army ambush, and then ran alone to the first checkpoint of the cottage to provoke. Before he could scold a word, more than 30 bandits rushed out of the level, and he saw that some bandits ran to the cottage, so he must have gone to notify the cottage.

Ye Teng casually shot two arrows, turned around and ran, and soon took the bandits to the ambush site, and it took less than 10 minutes to wipe them out. Then clean up the battlefield as fast as you can, wait for the rabbits, and wait for reinforcements from the bandits.

Sure enough, the second wave of reinforcements numbered nearly 100 people, and under the leadership of the second village master, they rushed into Ye Teng's ambush circle.

Cai Hui followed Ye Teng's prior arrangement, captured the thief and captured the king, and rushed to the second village master first. The identity of the junior military general of the second village master is full of confidence in his own strength, so he also rushed to Cai Hui-for-tat. As a result, it turned out that the gap between the senior generals and the junior generals was unreasonable, and the second master was captured with one move.

The rest of the bandits, not a single one ran out of the encirclement, a small part was killed, and most of them surrendered.

After cleaning up the battlefield again, Ye Teng estimated that it was useless to provoke now, and he could only face off head-to-head. Ye Teng asked all the lightly and seriously wounded to return to the cottage first with the bandits and capture.

He and Cai Hui took more than 70 uninjured soldiers, and after a little rest for half an hour, they escorted the two bandits with the lowest loyalty selected from the captives and marched towards the cottage! The lower the loyalty, the more likely it is that the Cottage leader is a close confidant.

About 50 meters before the first level, you will be lined up with sword and shield soldiers in front, pikemen in the center, and archers in the back. Then he and Cai Hui went straight to the front of the battle array with two prisoners, and shouted in unison with dozens of people:

"Bandits on the mountain, listen, you have been surrounded, hurry down the mountain and surrender!"

"Bandits on the mountain, listen, you have been surrounded, hurry down the mountain and surrender!"

"Bandits on the mountain, listen, you have been surrounded, hurry down the mountain and surrender!"

At this time, someone in the checkpoint went to the mountain to report the news again. Ye Teng had no choice but to wait at the bottom of the mountain to see the reaction of the enemy on the mountain. After a while, seventy or eighty bandits poured out of the cottage, led by a bandit leader, and headed towards the first checkpoint, and it was determined that the bandit leader should be the owner of the village.

Ye Teng asked the soldiers to continue shouting: "Listen to the bandits on the mountain, you have been surrounded, hurry down the mountain and surrender!" ”

After shouting several times, he found that the bandits on the mountain still did not rush down, Ye Teng began to order the soldiers to whip the two bandits who brought over, and the screams and cries for help of the two bandits were endless: "The king helps!" The king helps......"

Seeing the other bandits looking at each other and hesitating and frightened, the owner of the village knew that if he didn't rush down today, the owner of the village would not do anything in the future. So he gathered nearly 100 people around him and rushed down the mountain.

Ye Teng knew that this was a hard battle, and instructed Cai Hui to shoot the master of the village once he had the opportunity. When the master of Dazhai rushed to about 30 meters in front of the formation, he was shot by Cai Hui with an arrow in his throat. Ye Teng seized the opportunity and led the soldiers to rush forward, shouting as he rushed:

"The master of the village is dead, surrender and don't kill!"

"The master of the village is dead, surrender and don't kill!"

"The master of the village is dead, surrender and don't kill!"

The bandits began to disarray, some continued to rush forward, others began to flee backwards. After Ye Teng, Cai Hui and others killed a few brave people who rushed forward like chopping melons and vegetables, all the bandits ran back, Ye Jiajun seized the opportunity to chase after him, except for a small number of people who stayed all the way to catch prisoners, others under the leadership of Ye Teng and Cai Hui followed behind the deserters, and broke through two checkpoints all the way until the cottage. At this point, the remaining soldiers were not only killed, but also captured.
