Zhao Junsheng commanded the soldiers to dig a pit and bury the corpses of these mountain bandits, clean up the battlefield, take back all the arrows and weapons that could still be used, and ordered the 200 generals to count the casualties.

Zhao Junsheng sat down on a large rock at the foot of the mountain, tore a piece of cloth from a corpse and wiped the bloody spear, and the only bandit leader who was not killed was escorted to his knees by two soldiers.

"The official spares his life, spares his life!" The leader of the mountain bandits knelt in front of Zhao Junsheng and kept kowtowing.

Zhao Junsheng wiped the spear and asked, "Where are you bandits?" ”

The leader of the mountain bandits hurriedly said: "If the villain says it, can the official spare the villain's life?" ”

Zhao Junsheng kept wiping the spear, "Maybe, maybe not, it depends on whether you are honest and whether what you say is true!" ”

"The villain must tell the truth, and he will never dare to deceive the official! The villain's cottage is in Eagle's Beak Ridge, thirty miles to the west! ”

Zhao Junsheng stopped, handed the cleaned spear to a soldier next to him, pulled out the long knife and began to wipe it again, and asked, "How many people are there in the cottage?" Are there old and weak women and children, and do you have a cottage with gold, silver, jewelry, grain and grass? ”

The leader of the mountain bandits immediately replied: "When the villains came out with the eldest brother, there were still a dozen or so people left in the cottage. As for the gold and silver treasures, we have also plundered a lot of rich families and passing caravans over the years, but I have never seen my eldest brother use these treasures to buy food and supplies outside, and I don't know where it is hidden. A small number of the people in our eldest brother's shelter are outlaws, and most of them were forcibly caught up in the mountains to become bandits, and there are no old and weak women and children at all! ”

Zhao Junsheng asked again: "Why did your eldest brother bring you to rob the official's baggage team?" You must know that these people under this officer are all officers and soldiers, and you only have more than 100 people who dare to rob my army of more than 300, your courage is too fat, right? ”

The leader of the mountain bandits scratched his scalp, thought about it and patted his head: "The villain remembered, two days ago there was a young man in the cottage, I heard that it seems to be from Suiyang City, this person came with two entourages with a box, the box was full of gold, the villain guessed that our eldest brother took us to rob the official's convoy should be because of this young man!" ”

Zhao Junsheng immediately asked, "Is this person still in the cottage now?" ”

The leader of the mountain bandits nodded again and again: "Yes, there is no result in this matter, how can that person leave easily?" ”

Zhao Junsheng's face turned cold, it seems that this matter is not only the news that has caused the greed of the mountain bandits, but there are also people who personally bring treasures to buy the mountain bandits, so that they can attack his baggage team with all their might, otherwise the mountain bandit boss will not only leave a dozen or so people to guard the cottage, this time it can be said that he has gone out.

"Official, the villain has said everything when he knows, please spare your life!" The leader of the mountain bandits saw Zhao Junsheng's face turn cold, thinking that he had murderous intentions, and immediately kowtowed and begged for mercy.

Zhao Junsheng thought for a while and said comfortingly: "The official wants to send someone to arrest this young man, and wants to ask you to lead the way, if you honestly cooperate with the official's subordinates to arrest people back, the official will not only not kill you, but will also give you a sum of money to let you fly away, what do you think?" ”

"Is that true?"

Zhao Junsheng's face turned pale: "What? You don't believe in this official? A gentleman is hard to chase, have you ever heard of this sentence? ”

The leader of the mountain bandits hurriedly said: "Believe, believe, the villain is willing to lead the way for the official!" ”

At this time, the sound of horses' hooves and shouting was faintly heard in the south, and a sentry soldier ran over and bowed down on one knee to report: "The head of the camp, the eight people who escaped have been captured!" ”

"Let's go, go over and have a look!" Zhao Junsheng got up and walked over there.

Shi Pan walked over with nine cavalry under his command and eight soldiers who fled first, and he hugged his fists to Zhao Junsheng and said: "Camp head, my subordinates are fortunate not to disgrace their lives, and all the eight people who escaped have been captured!" ”

Shi Pan and these people are not Zhao Junsheng's subordinates, but Liang Peng lent him to protect him to go to Jinling, Zhao Junsheng can't treat his subordinates like them, he nodded and said: "Okay, brothers have worked hard, go down and rest!" ”

Shi Pan and the others hugged their fists, jumped down and led the horses to the side to rest.

Zhao Junsheng waved his hand, and a team of baggage soldiers surrounded and controlled the eight fleeing soldiers, and shouted: "All stand up, stand in a row!" ”

These people trembled all over, they were too scared, Zhao Junsheng walked around them with a waist knife, and shouted: "Come on, tie them up, take strict care of them, if you dare to run away again, you will be killed!" ”

"Yes!" The soldiers shouted yes and tied up the eight deserters in a knot.

The surrounding soldiers all felt unusual, in the past, Zhao Junsheng beat and scolded them when he was angry, but today it is different, he didn't beat or scold, this is not a good sign.

The deserters were escorted away, and when Zhao Junsheng saw that these soldiers were still standing around, he scolded: "What are you still doing here?" You bastards, don't go to the house for three days! ”

The soldiers dispersed in a hurry.

Zhao Junsheng looked up at the sky, and saw that it was still early, and said to Lu Xuanbo and the hundredth general: "You also heard what the mountain bandit leader said just now, I want to see who brought the money to buy the mountain bandits to ambush us, you take a hundred people to kill the bandit village in Eagle Beak Ridge, and arrest all the people, especially the person from Suiyang City, you must not let him escape!" In addition, if you can find the treasure hidden by the bandit leader, bring it back, and if you can't find it, forget it! I'm camping here with the rest of the men and I'm waiting, and I'll be sure to come back tomorrow morning!" ”

Lu Xuanbo and the hundredth person will clasp their fists and agree: "Yes!" ”

After the two men took a hundred people away, all the bodies had been buried, the battlefield had been cleaned, and the arrows, knives, guns, and spears that could be recovered were all recovered, and all that could not be used were discarded.

The 200th man will come over and report: "Battalion head, the casualties have been counted, not counting the eight deserters, six have died, eight have been wounded, the dead bodies have been buried, the wounded soldiers are not too serious, and they may be able to get better for a while!" ”

Zhao Junsheng scolded: "What's the matter, only six people died, and the group of rabbit cubs were scared to flee, if you meet the worms in the future, won't they all throw away their armor and flee?" ”

The 200th general hesitated for a moment and persuaded: "Camp leader, the brothers are all experiencing this kind of thing for the first time, and it is inevitable that they will be timid, this is also human nature, now that these brothers have seen blood, the next time they encounter an attack, it will definitely not be as unbearable as today!" ”

Zhao Junsheng also knew that what he said was right, and waved his hand and said, "Forget it, Lao Tzu is just complaining!" Fortunately, you have prepared some wound medicine before you come out, you go to the second carriage and open the top box to get a few bottles of wound medicine and a few rolls of gauze out! ”

"Yes, Camp Chief!"

As soon as Zhao Junsheng saw that the matter was almost handled, he immediately ordered the soldiers to camp and camp at the foot of the mountain tonight.

It didn't take long for a tent to be set up, and Zhao Junsheng took two and a half sons to treat the wounds of the eight wounded soldiers, first cleaning the wounds with wine, then applying wound medicine powder to the wounds, and finally bandaging them with gauze.

Zhao Junsheng only dealt with the wounds of the three wounded soldiers, and the remaining five wounds were handed over to the two and a half children to deal with, seeing that they had learned well, he said: "The wounds must be cleaned before the medicine can be applied, you have learned well, and the matter of treating the wounds of the wounded soldiers and livestock in the future will be handed over to the two of you!" ”

Two battlefield medics were born.
