"Aren't you stationed in the city? Where did the bandits come from?" Shen Yunfan asked.

The soldiers of the Royal Forest Army knelt on the ground and said in fear: "Last night, General Di didn't let us inform you and took us out of the city to suppress the bandits.

Shen Yunfan was furious when he heard this, and kicked over the table next to him.

"If you act without permission, the official is going to cut him!"

"Then you have to save it before you can cut it." Zheng Wanyi whispered, "Don't be angry, organize the manpower first. I'm going with you, but it's also a chance to surrender."

Shen Yunfan nodded, and had to order: "General Hu, there is no need to arrest Wang Tong, immediately gather people and follow this official out of the city!"

"Yes!" Hu Chun hurriedly went out.

……

Outside the city of Jiaozhou, in a plain earthen village.

The Guards are trapped in a cramped earthen fortress, surrounded by bandits armed with fire sticks!

The fire stick is a special weapon they use, and it is burned with flames, which is very effective in this narrow environment!

If it hadn't been for Shen Yunfan's instructions and bringing water in advance, they would have been burned to death.

Of course, now trapped here with unbearable hunger and thirst, they have already suffered more than a thousand casualties, and sooner or later they will be wiped out!

"General, what are we going to do?"

"Damn, it's all because that kid won't let us bring a spear, what's the use of this short sword?" Di Xingchang scolded.

The soldiers in the back looked strange when they heard this, and thought to themselves that this general was too good at throwing the pot. In such a narrow place, you can't use a long weapon at all, so you can't play to death?

The current short sword and short sword can still resist a bit.

This time he was encircled, and he had nothing to do with Shen Yunfan, obviously because Di Xingchang was arrogant and contemptuous.

Of course, they didn't dare to refute their own general, so they could only urge, "Let's quickly find a way to break through!"

"Breakout? Don't even think of getting out alive today!" The bandits outside sneered.

This time, the people from the three bandit dens gathered, and a total of 4,000 people were present.

Most of them were the remnants of Zheng Guo's soldiers who had fled. Therefore, they hate the Guards to the core, and they can't wait to skin and cramp the Guards now!

At the moment of life and death, the sound of war horses galloping and rushing to kill was heard not far away.

The bandits outside turned their heads and saw the cavalry rushing on the plain, and they were immediately shocked, and said in surprise: "The Jiaozhou defenders are here? Aren't they afraid that the barbarians will take advantage of the opportunity to plunder?"

"Don't worry about it, meet the enemy!"

The bandits quickly set up their formations, ready to respond to the cavalry charge.

On the other side of the plain, a cavalry force of less than a thousand men was rushing towards the earthen village.

Hu Chun shouted, "Lord Qincha, you don't have armor, just wait here, don't charge with us!"

"Okay. Remember, the opponent is a light infantry, and there are no heavy weapons on hand, so there is not much of a threat. But you are also light cavalry, so do not charge head-on, but use your mobility to drag them out of their fatigue and attack them when they are tired!"

"The last will obey!" A hint of surprise flashed in Hu Chun's eyes.

This minister from the imperial court is familiar with these tactics on the battlefield, and he doesn't look like a prince in Beijing at all!

The cavalry charged forward, and Hu Chun began to detour with the bandits according to tactics.

The plains are the world of cavalry, and the bandits have no heavy weapons such as heavy crossbows, large shields, and strange knives, let alone the galloping horses. For a moment, they were dragged to exhaustion, and then they were beaten and discarded their armor.

"No, hurry back to the earthen village to defend it!" Someone shouted.

"There's still the Imperial Forest Army in the village, we can't get in!"

At this moment, the Imperial Forest Army, which was originally surrounded, turned out to be a killing move pressed on their death hole.

Di Xingchang saw that the bandits were defeated, and immediately beckoned the remaining Imperial Forest Army to rush out and beat the water dogs!

Zheng Wanyi watched the battle not far away, and then said, "It's almost over, I'll go and surrender."

"Okay, little one

Accompany the princess." Shen Yunfan smiled.

"Flim Flam." Zheng Wanyi pouted.

The two rode forward, and Zheng Wanyi reported her identity and began to persuade her to surrender.

These remnants of the army have a collapsed mentality, and now when they meet the princess of their country, it is like finding the backbone of the main body, and they will immediately return to obedience without saying a word!

The two of them ran across the entire battlefield like this, and more and more people followed behind them. A group of remnants of soldiers even shouted slogans.

"Chitose! Princess Chichitose! Hurry up and land!"

"This is not Master Pony, this is Shen Gongzi." Zheng Wanyi rolled her eyes, looked at Shen Yunfan with a smile on her face, and said seriously, "Don't you have bad thoughts, it's impossible for us!"

"Princess, don't be so ruthless." Shen Yunfan smiled.

The two ran through the battlefield in this way, and finally recruited more than 3,000 people.

In addition to the remnants of Zheng Guo's army, many bandits were also taken to surrender.

As for the rest, they were all stubborn bandits, all of whom were handed over to Hu Chun, and most of them were killed on the spot.

Di Xingchang gathered the troops and said with a smile: "Brothers, everyone has a merit for the success of today's suppression of bandits!"

"What do you do?" Shen Yunfan sneered and scolded, "Your greatest merit is to be locked in an urn like the king, and then lure all the bandits to kill you!"

Hu Chun smiled beside him: "If it weren't for this Wang Ba as bait, we wouldn't be able to wipe out the bandits."

Di Xingchang's face turned blue and red for a while, and he muttered, "Isn't this also a gong?"

He really can't defend what happened today.

But he was arrogant and unwilling to admit that he was wrong.

"I'll treat you again when you go back." Shen Yunfan glared at him.

Di Xingchang lowered his head and waited for Shen Yunfan to leave before he said coldly, "No matter what, isn't this bandit a success? This kid is proud of himself, what is it pretending to be?"

The group returned to Jiaozhou City like this.

As soon as they reached the outside of the city, they saw black smoke rising from the city.

Hu Chun stepped forward to ask, only to learn that the barbarians took advantage of the emptiness of the garrison and rushed to Jiaozhou City to loot. In this plunder, a lot of property was lost.

Shen Yunfan stared at Di Xingchang and asked, "Do you know what you did wrong now? If you are not impulsive, we don't have to save you, and Jiaozhou City doesn't have to be looted! And the Royal Guards don't have to suffer unprovoked losses."

"Acting without authorization should have been dealt with by military law. But I won't kill you for the time being, you stay in office to check, and I'll give you a chance to make up for it! From today, the Imperial Forest Army will be in charge of the Adjutant General for the time being!"

"I...... I ......" Di Xingchang was speechless.

This time, it was indeed he who was wrong!

But he didn't mean to admit his mistake, but his face was gloomy, and he felt a little more resentful of Shen Yunfan in his heart!
