In a broken house with air leakage on all sides, more than a dozen generals gathered. Jian Fang stood in front of a broken table with only three legs, touched his robes and dismounted, staring at the map in front of him.

This is a large mansion that is three in and three out. It can be seen that the owner's family was in good condition in the past, but now, the whole house is abandoned. The weeds in the house are half a person tall, and the green tiles have been broken into several large holes, which looks like a miserable scene.

This is the case for the rich family, and the situation of ordinary people is even more tragic.

The Huben Camp led by Jian Fang has been out for more than ten days. Suppressing bandits has become the main task of Qingzhou County during this period. Wild Dog took Canglang Camp to Danyang County, and Yulin Camp stationed in Qingzhou County to stabilize the situation and suppress the bandits, while Huben Camp took on the task of suppressing bandits in Qingzhou.

Speaking of Qingzhou, there were no bandits. During Lu Jing's rule, several bandits were chased by Lu Jing's troops and horses, and they had no way to go to heaven and had no way to enter the ground. They were either chopped their heads or surrendered to Lu Jing's army. As Lu Jing drove the people to Qingzhou County and near, part of them became the villagers in the city, and the other part became the garrisons in the military. When they were bandits in Qingzhou, they also lost the soil for survival. In barren places, who would you rob as bandits?

Nowadays, bandits appearing in Qingzhou County on a large scale, to put it bluntly, they are soldiers and bandits.

When Lu Zhen of Danyang County decided to surrender to the Ming Dynasty, the Qingzhou army fled on a large scale. In addition to the 5,000 people led by the general Cai Qiang, more than 7,000 people scattered in birds and beasts. Most of these people fled with more than a hundred people and hundreds of people in one go.

Cai Qiang fled to Xintong County controlled by the Qin court, while the other fugitive soldiers were aimless and scattered around.

These people have war horses and weapons. Once they lose the constraints of military discipline, their tyrannical side will immediately appear. Danyang is a barely reasonable county governor in the Qin State. At least the people can survive. The emergence of these bandits immediately caused great harm to the people of Danyang County.

Within one day, dozens of bandits reported from all over the country, causing casualties among the people, and countless property and food losses. For a moment, the entire Danyang people were panicked.

Min Ruoxi, who entered Danyang County, was furious. Danyang County had just surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, and a stable environment was extremely needed by the Ming Dynasty, not to mention that Danyang County would be an important battlefield in the next battle against Qin. If the rear was unstable, the battle would be difficult.

The initiator of this incident was actually Lu Jing. After he decided to surrender, facing the large number of soldiers' escapes, he did not take any measures but let them go, causing half of his 30,000 elite soldiers to escape, which caused today's predicament. But now, it is obviously not the time to hold this guy responsible. If he holds this handle now and pursues Lu, he is afraid that the remaining nearly 20,000 Qingzhou troops will be in chaos.

But Lu Jing could not send Lu Jing's troops to suppress the bandits, so Min Ruoxi had to use the Ming army. Yu Chao's Fengfeng Camp took on the task of suppressing bandits in Danyang County.

Min Ruoxi gave Yu Chao the task of restoring the stability of Danyang County, and for those bandits, he was a bloody order of killing without mercy.

The Qingzhou soldiers who fled may have become more fierce, but without order and organization, it was even more unbearable in the eyes of the Ming army. In the past ten days, the fugitive soldiers scattered in Danyang County had more than 3,000 people under the horse spear of Chaozhou Fengying. Zhuifengying led the horses of Danyang and chased the north. After continuous battles, the Qingzhou soldiers who fled finally understood that the Ming people wanted to kill them quickly without leaving any survivors. None of the bandits fell into the hands of Zhuifengying. Whether they were killed on the battlefield or surrendering when the situation was not good, they were all rewarded.

Danyang has no place to gain a foothold, and they really can't beat Zhuifeng Camp. The remaining bandits saw that the situation was not good, so they ran to Qingzhou. They were originally from Qingzhou and were very familiar with Qingzhou County.

During the process of being chased by the Zhuifeng Camp in Danyang County, these bandits had already gathered to a relatively large scale, but with the development of the war, they found that the larger the scale of the gathering, the more likely they were to be hit by the Zhuifeng Camp in the Zhuifeng Camp. As they had more such things, they learned their lessons. During the process of fleeing to Qingzhou County, they split into dozens of people, and the largest one was only hundreds of horses.

After these bandits fled into Qingzhou County, the task of exterminating these bandits fell on Jian Fang's Huben Camp. Yu Chao's Fengfeng Camp could not leave Danyang County, because the Fengfeng Camp was also used to deter more than 18,000 Qingzhou soldiers who surrendered with Lu Jing. Any vigilance was necessary before completing their adaptation.

These Qingzhou soldiers are different from the Hulao defenders, and have a strong sense of independence. In order to ensure that, the wild dog personally led the Canglang Camp to Danyang. However, the Canglang Camp and the new Hulao army led by Yang Zhi were both infantrymen, and there were always huge loopholes without the cavalry of the Zhuifeng Camp.

There were at least 3,000 cavalrymen who fled into Qingzhou County. This was a pity. These bandits were all cavalrymen, coming and going, and they were elusive. The Huben Camp was adapted from the original Yuejing City Gate Army. The entire camp had 5,000 people, and only two cavalrymen were equipped with two posts, which was one thousand.

It is difficult for the Hu Ben Camp, which is mainly infantry, to wipe out these cavalry and bandits.

The combat effectiveness of the Huben Camp is much stronger than that of the Yulin Camp, mainly because in the Huben Camp, there are not only some grassroots officers with rich combat experience transferred from foreign troops during the adaptation, but also hundreds of war soldiers brought back from Longyou City at that time. After those soldiers experienced the fierce offensive and defensive battle in Longyou, they were completely reborn. There were more than 1,000 such people, but after the two consecutive retirements, there were more than 600 people left. Now they are also the main grassroots officers of the Huben Camp, and the worst one can be a teammate to work together.

The Huben Camp is now temporarily under the leadership of Chen Zhihua. In order to train this army and quickly improve their combat effectiveness, Chen Zhihua sent the Huben Camp to suppress the bandits without hesitation. This small-scale battle, but absolutely not low in combat intensity, is indeed a good training ground for a new army.

In fact, the Huben Camp has been in an army for two years and is not considered a new army. But in the eyes of generals like Chen Zhihua, an army that has never been on the battlefield, no matter how long you have been in the army, it is a new army. Only by fighting a few battles, splashing the enemy's blood on its body, and blew its own blood, can it be considered an old army.

The Hu Ben Army is a new army, but Jian Fang is an experienced veteran. It is naturally difficult for the Hu Ben Camp, which is mainly infantry, to wipe out all the bandits with cavalry. The key is that they can't beat them and run away. If the cavalry wants to run, you really can't stop them. The key is that Jian Fang's own lack of cavalry.

Naturally, he would not let his infantry compete with the other party's four legs with two legs. Not only would he work hard but he would even let these bandits find an opportunity to bite him. Jian Fang took the initiative to compress the activity space of these bandits step by step, forcing these bandits to gather together actively, and then he would annihilate them in one go.

Although Qingzhou is large, the areas where these bandits are active are actually limited. There is nothing else. These people also have to eat. When they really go to those deserted places, what can they survive? The war horses can temporarily chew grass, and those bandits can eat grass? Even if they are war horses, they only eat grass but not food for a long time, how much strength can they still be left?

So Jian Fang was very steadily and forced one by one from three sides to drive the gangsters one after another to Xinxiang County. Because he only gave these gangsters this way out.

Xinxiang County is not far from Qingzhou County. It was an important county town for Qingzhou County to relocate the people of Qingzhou after Qingzhou County surrendered to the Ming Dynasty. There was not much food here, but for these cyclists who were already hungry and fed, they no longer cared about so much.

As for whether the rider bandits would harm the people who had just moved to Xinxiang when they arrived, it was not within Jian Fang's consideration. This is what the new county magistrate Han Kun had to consider. What he had to do was to catch all these rider bandits in one fell swoop.

It's basically time to close the internet now.

"General Jian, based on the information sent back by the spies we hid in the city in advance, there were more than 1,500 cavalrymen who fled into Xinxiang. Their situation was not very good, and a considerable number of them were already weak. After entering the city, they immediately plundered all the food in the city and prepared to escape again." A general reported.

"Can you escape? Where can you escape? This is the execution ground I prepared for them." Jian Fang sneered, pointing to the map on the broken table, and said, "The east of Xinxiang is Fengshan. These gangsters cannot go up the mountain. If they go up the mountain, they will be looking for death. And the north is Gexi, and it is the season of water, so they can't get through. The west is Qingzhou County City, and they cannot go to die. The only one they can go is the north. How is the battlefield in the north arranged?"

"Return to the general, the three thousand soldiers and horses in the north have been arranged in place. All kinds of traps have been prepared, just waiting for them to die." A general said with a smile.

"Tomorrow, we will be dominated by our cavalry and two thousand infantry as the auxiliary. We will approach Xinxiang with great fanfare from the west. Remember, the two thousand infantry will give me the momentum of five thousand horses. We must make these cavalry bandits think that we are worried that they will go to the Qingzhou County City, so we will place the main force in the west and force them to escape from the north. We will fall into our trap."

"yes."

"Don't underestimate the enemy. One thousand five hundred cavalry, this is not a small number. The momentum of more than a thousand cavalry charges is not fun. Our soldiers have never fought a big battle. Seeing such a scene, it is very likely that the morale of the army will be shaken. This is the key battle to test our Huben Camp. After this battle, the Huben Camp dares to say that it has truly become an army. You are all old soldiers in a hundred battles, so I don't need to say more." Jian Fang glanced at the generals in the room. He was not worried about these people, but about the ordinary soldiers.

"Don't worry, General." The generals accepted the order in unison.
