7.9 Send troops to suppress bandits and kill rebels

The camera returns to the exercise scene.

"By the way, Han Sheng, when I asked the court to transfer people, there was also a transfer order given to Wen Pin Wen Zhongye. You are not far away. Have you heard of him? Why is it now overdue? See him coming?"

Deng Feng has never forgotten that when he entrusted Queen He to recruit people, there were four generals in total, but now only one civil servant was missing.

"My lord, please forgive me. I do know about Wen Zhongye." Huang Zhong showed an awkward but polite smile. "When the general received the transfer order, he actually asked the messenger and knew that the other general who was transferred at the same time, Wen Junhou and I In fact, there is still a connection.

However, although he is not successful, the Wen family is also a Jingzhou family. After all, Marquis Wenjun is also the eldest son of the Wen family in Jingzhou."

To put it simply, at this time, he was indeed unsuccessful as a civil servant, but joining the army was actually not his main job. His main job was to be a young master from a well-known family. If he did not do well as a soldier, he would have no choice but to go home and inherit the wealth of the family. I really don’t have time to come to Shangdang, which is thousands of miles away.

"I——" Deng Feng finally held back and did not say bad words in front of his subordinates. "Forget it, everyone has their own ambitions, let them go."

Speaking of transfer orders, Deng Feng remembered the terms he exchanged with Queen He at that time. For this purpose, he specially packed them up in an abandoned military camp outside Shangdang County and sent someone to deliver the notice to the general's residence.

The problem is that Deng Feng has not seen anyone come to receive it so far, and there is not even any messenger from He Jin or Queen He to contact him, which is really strange.

"My lord, do you think you want to take action now?" Chen Gong looked at the various soldiers who were returning as a team, then turned to Deng Feng and asked.

"Yes, the so-called training of soldiers for war, pure training cannot produce truly elite soldiers. There must be sufficient training, strong physique, and sufficient practical experience. Otherwise, no one can tell what is going on with an army that has never seen blood. How about that?" Deng Feng nodded and admitted.

"May I ask my lord, where is the target?" Huang Zhong asked excitedly as soon as he heard that there was a battle.

"There are currently two larger groups of bandits in Shangdang County. I am going to attack the one that is close to them." Deng Feng's choice was based on the principle of proximity.

"My lord, I heard that although these people are bandits, they are not heinous. They are very well-behaved on weekdays, and they only charge a certain toll for passing caravans. Now it is basically a draw every tenth.

On the contrary, the family about two hundred miles away is now angry with both people and gods. Killing it will not only stabilize the place, but also gain reputation. "Huang Zhong doesn't quite agree with Deng Feng's plan.

"Han Sheng, I hope you remember that any bandits, bandits, robbers and bullies, no matter what kind of memorial they set up for themselves, are essentially bitches and deserve to die." Deng Feng looked at Huang Zhong seriously and said.

"If these people don't deserve to die, then shouldn't the people who were oppressed and harmed by them deserve to die? No matter who they are, they are not qualified to seize other people's property by force, otherwise they are robbers!"

"Yes, lord!" Huang Zhong's expression changed, and then Su Rong took the order.

"They can take their time, just in time to get some exercise. Let's go back first." After Deng Feng said that, he took his men's civil and military personnel back first, and the rest of the ministries can take their time to tidy up.

"Lord, this bandit family near us is generally called Niutou Village by the locals because the hill they are on is called Niutou Mountain. No one knows the name of the leader of the bandit, only that his bandit name is Niu Wangye. According to legend, He is very skilled in martial arts and very powerful.”

Military Advisor Chen Gong began to point to the sand table to introduce the enemy's situation, "Currently they claim to have more than 3000 people, but according to our investigation, they actually only have over 1000 capable warriors. The rest include family members, servants, etc., and they actually have no combat effectiveness. .”

The sand table was made by Chen Gong at Deng Feng's suggestion. It is a sand table of the entire Shangdang traffic terrain.

There are many small flags planted on it, including bandits and bandits, cities and towns, villages, mountains and rivers, roads, aristocratic families, etc. Each of them has its own special logo, which makes it very clear that they are densely packed.

"Niutou village is about 50 miles away from us, and it takes about four hours to march. According to our investigation, the entire village is on a small hill, and there is only one road down the mountain. The road is steep on both sides, and it is difficult to bypass it directly.

Moreover, the entire surface suitable for walking is only less than 20 paces wide, but nearly three miles long. It is too steep outward and is not suitable for large groups to walk. It is very difficult to attack.

According to the information we inquired from nearby hunters, there is actually a small road in the back mountain, but it cannot pass the brigade. The leader of the village may have arranged an escape route there. "

The person speaking this time was Zhang Liao. In the past six months, Deng Feng had asked him to arrange manpower to investigate the enemy's situation, and he was no stranger to some general intelligence.

"What about the equipment situation?" Chen Gong asked.

"They mainly use wooden guns, but the core of about 500 old bandits all have weapons, and the core of more than 100 people even have various armors. Overall, it is nothing to us." Zhang Liao is very confident about this, The equipment of Shangdang County soldiers is considered to be cheating in the world.

"Do you have any background? I mean, are they not supported by a wealthy family to do dirty work?" Deng Feng thought more and asked very directly.

"Well." Zhang Liao looked a little embarrassed. After all, he was still a branch of the Zhang family in Bingzhou, "It is said that their village leader, Lord Niu, has connections with the Zhang family.

Someone said that he had seen people from Niutou Village contacting the stewards of the Zhang family. It is said that they mainly bought the food in the village from the Zhang family. "

"Then there will be more fights." Deng Feng said coldly.

"Since the lord has decided to fight, the general will naturally have no objection." Zhang Liao immediately accepted the order with clasped fists.

"Very good, then let's fight. I order -" Everyone stood solemnly, "Gao Shun will lead 600 infantry, Shi A will lead 300 crossbowmen, Huang Zhong will lead 300 cavalry, plus ten engineering crossbow vehicles.

The baggage supplies and various consumption will be calculated by each person in charge and reported to Master Chen, who will personally lead the team.

Gongtai, you are responsible for arranging to prepare dry food for everyone for three days, and the heavy troops are responsible for transporting it.All units will be ready within three days, and I will arrange for medical soldiers to follow. Three days later, the army will set off! "

"promise!"

"Zhang Liao is the general person in charge of staying behind. He must take care of his family. If there is anything that cannot be decided, he can report it to the prefect's office." In fact, he is reporting to Cheng Lingsu. Everyone knows this, but it is not convenient to say it out.

Similarly, the person in charge of the engineering ballista is Xiao Zhao. Everyone knows this, but they avoid mentioning it. "One more thing, this operation is mainly focused on suppressing bandits, but we can't rule out that other things will pop up and we'll just deal with them together."

"Lord, the probability of this is very high. We have offended too many people in the past six months." Chen Gong, as the actual leader of the entire Shangdang government affairs, obviously knows more.

"It doesn't matter, let's finish the fight first!"

"No!" Everyone clasped their fists and accepted the order.

Three days later, we went to the east gate of Dangjun City.

An army of nearly 1500 soldiers, engineers, baggage soldiers, medical soldiers, etc. went out in force and headed straight for Niutou Village.

"Lord, it seems that many people around don't want to see us take action." Huang Zhong walked a few steps quickly to Deng Feng and said in a low voice.Among the surrounding onlookers, some people left from time to time and quickly disappeared in the distance. There were at least a dozen people in total.

"It doesn't matter, let them report it. If someone is not afraid of death and causes trouble, it's good to clean it up along the way." Deng Feng didn't care.

"Yes, my lord!"

The marching speed of the army was a little faster than expected. They set off in the morning and arrived after more than three hours, including the half-hour meal and break time in the middle. However, it was already after 3 pm when they arrived, and the personnel were quite tired. , it is no longer suitable to continue fighting.

"Set up camp on the spot, be careful!" Deng Feng gave the order, and all the ministries quickly set up camp.

"My lord, it seems that there are really people who are not afraid of death and want to jump out." Chen Gong scanned the surroundings with cold eyes, because the silence was obviously beyond the norm, not even the sound of birdsong.

"Isn't this what was expected? The outside is tight and the inside is tight. Only the outer security personnel are left. Let's go down and set up camp and hand it over to the heavy troops. The others will take the opportunity to rest.

Let half the infantry look loose on purpose, but the crossbowmen are always there!The cavalry will retreat five miles first. When retreating, don't forget to shout a few words, such as issues such as payment. Since some people want to play games, we might as well teach them how to play. "

Deng Feng sneered and glanced around. With his spiritual consciousness, he could easily see that there were nearly 2000 people surrounding the area, which just turned the flat land at the foot of the mountain into a dead place. He just didn't know who died. who.

"Since the lord has made arrangements, I won't say anything more." Chen Gong looked around with a smile, showing a disdainful expression, "The rabble has even set up an ambush." ​​"Oh, I'm exhausted after walking for a day. !" Soon, the camp area became noisy.

"Yeah, I can only eat dry food on the way, and I don't order any wine!"

"Lie down for a while!"

"MD, we agreed to give him double salary when we left camp, but it was gone when we got here. What's going on?"

"Yes, the infantry has only one mouth. We cavalry have to eat the horse's chew. How can we get enough pay!"

"Quit, let's go back!"

"Yes, isn't it 50 miles? I let the horse run for a while, and I will have a bed in the middle of the night, so I can sleep here in the wild!" Soon, a dozen cavalry rushed out roaring the way they had come.

"Let's go, let's go!" Then one after another the cavalry withdrew, and soon more than half of them were gone, and the rest were also loose.

The heavy soldiers began to set up camp in an orderly manner, felling trees to build horse-repelling antlers, a small number of infantrymen began to guard the surrounding area in a messy and loose manner, and the crossbowmen simply lay down on the ground to rest.

The jungle sticks out, in a small area surrounded by shrubs.

"Master, it seems that this prefect is nothing more than that!"

"Such a chaotic army dares to come out to suppress bandits. It seems that I can save a year or two." A young man dressed quite elegantly said with a sneer.

"Master, why don't we move forward a little bit and wait and see if it's almost done, so that the young ones can go up and make some money." What he actually meant was that the young master should be able to show his face in time.

"Hahaha, okay! The young master is in charge today, and the money will be doubled. If it's not enough, I'll pay for it!"

"Master Benevolence!"

"The officers and soldiers are unprepared, brothers, kill!" Just less than half an hour later, the surrounding jungle seemed to be boiling water, and ambushes appeared from almost everywhere, shouting various slogans and rushing down.

"They chose the time very well, and it seems they have some experts. At this time, the soldiers have completed most of the camp work, and the personnel's physical strength has also been exhausted. They just happened to attack immediately. If they wait any longer, they will have to face the field fortifications." In the middle of the camp, Chen Gong said with a sneer as he looked at the ambush troops rushing down in disorder.

"It doesn't matter. Let's move closer and hit them on the head with the crossbowmen. Give them a hard blow!" Deng Feng didn't care too much. These opponents were really dead.

"Don't worry, my lord, I will ensure that the reception is tidy!" Shi Ahuan smiled and left with fists in his hands.

The rebels were getting closer and closer, and their faces were getting brighter and brighter, but when they were less than a hundred steps away, there was finally movement in the middle of the camp.

"The crossbowmen are arrayed, half on each side, ready to strike in three stages. Listen to my command and load the arrows!"

"Marquis, it's less than 70 steps!" The crossbowmen approaching Shi'a were a little nervous. Fortunately, they were ambushed in the jungle and the soldiers couldn't run fast anyway.

"Don't be in a hurry. Just wait." Shi A calmly looked at the insurgents who were getting closer and closer. He didn't wave the red flag in his hand until he was less than 50 steps away and said, "Let go!"

"Buzz -" a reverberation appeared extremely clear even in the chaotic shouting charge. 50 crossbow arrows flew out on each side. On the one hand, the distance was close, and on the other hand, the targets were densely packed. Therefore, most of them hit the target accurately, causing There was a scream.

Then the follow-up shooting followed, and the arrow rain seemed to be endless, covering all the rebel soldiers fiercely.

"Form up!" When the pikemen who originally looked relaxed heard the command, nearly half a year of training made them stand up as usual in reflex, "Advance!"

On one side were 300 pikemen, with three rows advancing towards the woods, followed closely by the same three rows of 150 crossbowmen. Gao Shun led the team on the north side, and Deng Feng personally led the team on the south side, overwhelming the rebels. past.

No one stood out, and no one retreated. The relatively straight military line advanced in unison, and the crossbowmen behind them kept covering them, and the screams never stopped.

"Master, please leave quickly. I will take some people to cover you. I hope you can take good care of me!"

"I won't leave! What happened? Why were we defeated? Where are our people?"

"Master, take the people and run back to the city. The horses are hidden a hundred steps away and less than 50 steps from the main road. Let's go quickly!"

The glamorous young master was half-dragged and half-carried away from the large army by his trusted family soldiers. He ran towards the hiding place of the horses with a confused look on his face, but did not notice that Deng Feng, who was leading the team, had an increasingly cold expression.

"Ghost girl, go and tell Huang Zhong in person that if the leading group of people escape, he will go to the stable to groom war horses for a month!" Deng Feng turned to Xiao Zhao, who was dressed as an ordinary infantryman next to him, and said, as a The person in charge of the engineering corps will definitely follow at this time.

"Yes, Young Master!" Xiao Zhao turned around and left, and directly used Qing Kung Fu, making a few leaps and disappearing from the sight of the large army.

About five miles behind the main force, the cavalry who had just "escaped" had already assembled. Huang Zhong was holding a long sword in his hand and looking at the road with cold eyes.

"Marquis Huang, my son has an order. If you run away from the leader of the rebellion, you will go to the stables to brush horses for a month!" Xiao Zhao appeared in front of the cavalry formation like the wind, and conveyed the order in the original text unceremoniously, causing everyone in the formation to burst into laughter.

"Don't worry, Mrs. Han, you can't run away!" Huang Zhong sneered and looked ahead. The young master and the remnants of less than a hundred soldiers were galloping over in a hurry, less than a hundred steps away. "All cavalry, charge me!"

The official road was not wide, and the open space from both sides to the woods was only more than ten meters. It was impossible to perform a wall charge. However, Huang Zhong still took the lead in person, leading a row of cavalry with lances held flat and began to accelerate.

The distance of a hundred steps is definitely not the best, but it is enough to deal with the remaining rebels, because they are already frightened!
Although there are a lot of them, these people have no formation at all. The most annoying thing is that what they are holding and hanging on their waists are all portable weapons such as ring-shou knives and long swords. All the long weapons are thrown away. .

Facing the Lancers' charge, they had no effective way to deal with it!

You can't turn around and run away at this time, because the official road is too narrow. If you mess up, you will die faster, and you can't run into the woods, because all fools know that the woods are a forbidden area for cavalry, so you can only rush up and see what's left. Who is it!

The distance of less than a hundred steps seemed very long, but to the two waves of opposing cavalry, this distance was nothing. Almost in the blink of an eye, the black iron stream and the messy creek collided, and the two waves collided with each other. Then there were continuous screams.

Just because it cannot accelerate, the Lancer's charging power cannot be fully exerted.

Seeing that his momentum was getting worse and worse, Huang Zhong led his men into the forest without hesitation, followed by the new force immediately to make up, one wave after another, the cavalry who retreated to the forest could also clean up the escaped enemy .

In less than 10 minutes, the scene fell silent. The corpses on the ground, a group of ownerless horses, and the smell of blood all showed the brutality of the battle just now.

Although it was an absolute advantage, Huang Zhong still suffered more than a dozen casualties, 9 of whom were killed on the spot, and there was no need to rescue the rest.

The cavalry hedge was so cruel, this time a full 14 men were lost!Their sacrifice was not in vain, because they killed 93 enemies, including the young master.

By the time Huang Zhong cleaned up the scene and led his people back to the camp, the fighting here was over and the refining battlefield was almost cleaned.

"Han Sheng, what was the result of the battle?" Deng Feng asked with a smile when he saw Huang Zhong coming over.

"Please have a look, my lord!" Huang Zhong took off a bloody cloth bag from his waist and opened it to reveal a fresh human head, which was the young master.

"Okay!" Deng Feng laughed loudly, "The suppression of bandits this time has been completed, and your contribution is indispensable!"

"Thank you, Lord!" Huang Zhong thanked him with great joy.

"Lord, the statistics are out." Chen Gong ran over with a handful of bamboo slips in excitement, "In this battle, a total of 1657 enemy troops were killed and 385 captured. The rebels, including their leaders, were all wiped out, except for a few A fish that slipped through the net!
The main items seized are weapons and armor. We are still counting them, but they are definitely a lot! "

Deng Feng nodded with satisfaction.
