The first boss, Li Mai, and the second boss died, leaving more than 3,000 bandits at a loss. No one dared to come forward after hearing Ma Chao's bloody roar.

To put it bluntly, ordinary bandits actually committed some crimes in the Central Plains or were wronged, so they embarked on the road of banditry.

Their essence is good, and they will not turn into habitual criminals who kill without batting an eye. Most of them are good people. They can't get much benefit from staying in the bandits' den, and they are still at the lowest level.

The only people who had an easy life in the bandit den were the leader and a few people.

When it comes time to fight, how many people will have the courage to fight against the Xiakou Army, not to mention being at a disadvantage in terms of military strength?

Bang!

A Jinshan bandit dropped his weapon and stood aside obediently, waiting for the Xiakou Cavalry Division to take over.

With the first person, there will be the second person, the third person..., countless people gave up resistance, dropped their weapons and surrendered.

It's like having an infectious disease.

This is the bandit's only chance to survive. If he misses it, he needs to risk his life and fight for his life.

There are more than 3,000 natives, and among them there must be Li Mai, the direct descendants of the two leaders of the second family. There is no doubt about this.

Those direct descendants were extremely frightened when they saw their boss die and thought about the countless bad things they had done.

drive!

Hundreds of stubborn bandits took advantage of the large number of bandits to give up resistance and surrender, and fled outside.

Want to break out of the encirclement.

Dream on!

Are the 20,000 Cavalry Division vegetarians?

Boom!

Only after hundreds of bandits escaped did the cavalry division soldiers quickly attack them and kill them one by one.

Two hours later.

"Report to General Ma that a total of 3,728 bandits were captured, including more than 300 women.

Basically, bandits robbed the families of businessmen, and they were all suffering people. In addition, more than 360 people had the blood of Central Plains people on their hands.

These people are basically the direct descendants of the bandit leader. They have killed many Central Plains businessmen and seized more than ten tons of gold and silver.

A large number of five-baht coins, as well as some jade articles, calligraphy and paintings, jewelry and other items. Nearly 4,000 horses were seized, all of which were intact Hequ horses."

Send orders to soldiers.

oh!

Damn it!

He was worthy of being a bandit. He had more than ten tons of gold and silver, and his seizure was really rich, which completely surprised Ma Chao.

"The rescued women were sent back to Yumen Pass together and handed over to the officials for processing. The prisoners who did not have the blood of the people of the Central Plains on their hands were

If you want, you can take it into the cavalry division, and those who don't want to can be sent to Yumen Pass and thrown into a civilized school.

They will work as coolies for two years and then be released. As for the more than 300 bandits with the blood of the people of the Central Plains on their hands,

Don't be merciful, just find a place to smash it away. This is the crime they deserve. The gold and silver are sent back to Yumen Pass.

In accordance with relevant policies, items such as five-baht coins, jades, and jewelry are handed over to officials for processing.

Also, burn down the stronghold and don’t leave it to become a disaster.”

Ma Chao said.

"As you command!"

Send orders to soldiers.

"Young Marshal, these bandit prisoners who have no blood on their hands from the people of the Central Plains should be handed over to the Chinese Army's Military Advisor Guo and General Xu.

We don’t have to stop and integrate the cavalry division, which will waste a lot of time, let’s leave it all to the arrangements of the Chinese army.”

Pound said.

Ma Chao thought for a moment and nodded.

"Then send a cavalry regiment to escort the prisoners and supplies to Yumen Pass and hand them over to Military Advisor Guo!"

Ma Chao said.

"As you command!"

Send orders to soldiers.

"By the way, didn't you find any food or grass in the horse thieves' den?"

Ma Chao said.

"Report to General Ma that the grain seized is not much, only more than 10,000 dan, but there are a lot of cattle and sheep, estimated to be more than 100,000."

Send orders to soldiers.

"Send them all to the Chinese Army!"

Ma Chao said.

"As you command!"

Send orders to soldiers.

Next day:

Boom!

Ma Chao led the cavalry division to continue the attack, clearing out the bandit strongholds that Tan Ma had detected in advance.

Let's talk about the two brothers Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Dun. They led the cavalry division out of Yumen Pass and rushed towards the well-investigated bandit dens.

After leaving Yumen Pass, the two brothers acted separately. One of them led a cavalry division of 10,000 people and rushed towards a stronghold.

In a semi-desert area, the roads are very difficult to navigate.

"Reporting to General Xiahou, it seems that our operation was discovered by the bandits. Our detective horses failed to kill all the bandits at the outpost. Several bandits escaped and fled towards the bandits' dens."

Send orders to soldiers.

oh!

Xia Houyuan frowned slightly.

"In this case, let's speed up and kill the bandits' den as soon as possible. We must not let the bandits escape."

Xia Houyuan said.

"As you command!"

Send orders to soldiers.

Boom!

The earth shook and thousands of horses galloped!

Bandit Den:

Several bandit leaders were drinking and having fun in the big tent, surrounded by more than a dozen women robbed from the Central Plains.

The sound of overwhelming.

To put it bluntly, there are not many bandit leaders in the world who are good. They are basically criminals who committed serious crimes such as murder in the Central Plains and fled to the areas outside Yumen Pass to commit crimes.

A gangster who specializes in robbing caravans, big families, and ordinary people.

Especially over time, a good person will gradually become bad and dare to do any bad thing.

Their original intentions have long been forgotten.

Among the bandits, the vast majority are still good people. Sometimes they kill people randomly and are executed under the orders of the bandit leader.

But what?

There are also some bandits who specialize in robbing caravans from the Western Regions and the Western world, but do not attack caravans from the Central Plains.

"Report to the boss, the Central Plains army is coming to kill us. Run away quickly! If you don't leave, you won't be able to escape."

A bandit ran in and reported loudly.

What!

The Central Plains army is coming to kill!

During this period of time, we have not provoked the Central Plains army, nor have we provoked the Central Plains officials!

Why?

"Are you sure it's the Central Plains Army? It's not the Central Plains Army that is going to conquer the Western Regions and passes by our area!"

The boss asked.

"Master, we have more than 20 scouts, and the sentries were attacked by the Central Plains Army's scouts. We suffered heavy casualties, and only three brothers escaped."
