Chapter 13: The First Suppression of Bandits
This change in the blink of an eye immediately made the remaining mountain bandits unable to sit still.
However, the current mountain bandits were not intimidated by Ji Ling and the others, no matter what, there were always a few people on Ji Ling's side, and there were more than a dozen of their mountain bandits, and each of them had weapons.
In the past, they were also used to being arrogant, and they were not afraid of a ruthless character like Ji Ling.
One by one, they quickly rushed up from the rear, holding their knives, and they were about to greet Ji Ling.
The bandits rushed up, shouting hysterically.
But they still underestimated the strength of Ji Ling and his entourage, Ji Ling raised and fell with a knife, one by one, and in three or two strokes, he finished off the several mountain bandits who rushed in front.
And the remaining few mountain bandits were also directly eliminated by these third-class soldiers behind them.
Between a few breaths, they stopped on the official road, and the rampant mountain bandits only left a living mouth.
This living mouth was also deliberately left by Ji Ling and others, and the purpose was naturally to ask about the specific traces and whereabouts of this group of mountain bandits.
If they are all killed, it will be difficult to find out where the lair of those mountain bandits is.
Under some pressure, the mountain bandits confessed in full.
By the time Yuan Yao came to this official road with his follow-up people, Ji Ling had already explored the situation.
"Childe, the situation has been explored clearly, the stronghold on this official road, generally only twenty or thirty mountain bandits take turns to guard, and their lair stronghold is in the mountain range outside the official road, walk in this direction, you can reach it for about ten miles."
"There should be more than 370 mountain bandits in the stronghold, if we want to attack, we can attack directly from the front of the cottage."
Ji Ling had already found out the situation of this group of bandits from the living mouth that remained, and he could lead his soldiers and horses to charge as soon as he waited for Yuan Yao's order.
"In that case, then according to what General Ji said, let's start preparing to attack this group of mountain bandits."
Yuan Yao had already seen the process of Ji Ling's suppression of these mountain bandits from a distance just now, and at the same time, he also saw Ji Ling's strength and the ability of these third-class soldiers under him.
At the beginning, he was only a little familiar with characters like Ji Ling, and he didn't have a systematic understanding of how powerful a historical figure like Ji Ling was.
But after this initial confrontation, Yuan Yao realized that a military general like Ji Ling was much more powerful than these ordinary mountain bandits.
From the perspective of personal strength, not to mention a few mountain bandits, even if they come several times, they may not be Ji Ling's opponents.
It may be an exaggeration to say that Ji Ling has the courage of ten thousand people, but with one as ten, there is probably no problem with one person dealing with dozens of mountain bandits.
In addition, these third-class soldiers who have been trained for a month are not as weak as Yuan Yao thought.
These veterans already have strong battlefield experience, and many of them are veterans who began to follow Yuan Shu to raise troops when they first attacked Dong Zhuo, they have only been idle in the past two years, and they are not incapable.
And this month, Yuan Yao gave meat to eat at once, and he was full of meals, and he immediately raised the physical fitness of these people.
Not to mention that they are all strong and strong, at least they don't look so thin anymore, and their body strength has also improved.
This has improved the combat ability of these third-class soldiers a lot, and it is natural to be able to deal with some mountain bandits who have no military literacy.
After asking about the situation of the mountain bandits' lair, the next thing is simple.
Yuan Yao took these privates to surround and approach the bandits' lair, while Ji Ling led four hundred and three soldiers to attack the cottage head-on.
When the soldiers led by Ji Ling rushed to the gate of the cottage, they were discovered by the whistles of these mountain bandits, and when they saw that the army of bandits in the government was only about 400 people, these mountain bandits were not only afraid, but planned to rely on the resolute defensive measures of the cottage to engage in a head-on battle.
These warrior battalion soldiers under Yuan Yao, the first battle against bandits officially began.
The battle lasted for half an hour, Ji Ling held a three-pointed two-edged knife, rode his horse and rushed to the front, all the thieves who rushed out of the cottage, Ji Ling was one by one, and soon killed more than ten people.
Ji Ling's bravery also gave the soldiers of the warrior battalion enough blood, these people are not new soldiers, and they have not seen bloody scenes.
They just need a decent fight to baptize their weary souls.
Ji Ling's appearance just gave them courage, these people followed behind Ji Ling, and soon they fought bloodily, and there were more and more casualties among the fighting mountain bandits.
When this part of the mountain bandits who rushed out of the cottage were all killed, those mountain bandits who were still waving their flags and shouting in the cottage finally realized that something was wrong.
These official soldiers and horses who came to encircle and suppress them did not seem to be ordinary county soldiers, they were dispatched with orders and were quite strong.
These rabbles are no match for these officers and armies at all.
After the death of more than 100 mountain bandits, the rest of the people completely lost the courage to fight and began to retreat from Wuyang.
Fortunately, they can't fight, but they are very good at escaping.
This is their lair again, surrounded by forests, and when they see that the situation is not right, they immediately turn around and run into the surrounding woods.
The original more than 400 mountain bandits, after being killed by Ji Ling and others, the rest scattered and fled, fleeing around, and these second-class soldiers led by Yuan Yao were also prepared, scattered near the cottage, and when they saw the mountain bandits who fled alone, they directly pursued them and killed them.
In fact, it didn't take much effort to fight head-on, but it took a lot of time to pursue the fleeing mountain bandits.
After waiting for a forest to calm down completely, the battle finally came to an end.
Yuan Yao instructed his men to clean up the battlefield.
On the other hand, he came to the cottage to meet Ji Ling, and at the same time probe the spoils of this bandit.
Pushed open the door of the cottage and entered this small cottage, Ji Ling had already taken people and was cleaning the battlefield, counting the number of dead and the loot collected.
Seeing Yuan Yao coming, Ji Ling immediately stepped forward and reported the results of this battle to Yuan Yao.
"Childe, good news! I didn't expect this gang of bandits to be so rich! ”
"Oh? How rich? ”
When Yuan Yao heard Ji Ling say this, a smile appeared on his face, and he guessed that the benefits of this bandit suppression must be a lot.
Ji Ling said, and walked a few steps forward, and just a few soldiers moved out a few large boxes from a locked warehouse.
These wooden boxes were full, and Ji Ling opened one of them directly.
"In the box, there are copper coins, and there are a lot of gold and silver treasures, worth at least 300,000 yuan!"
