"Hurry up, don't delay."

From the victory of the battle to the completion of the reorganization of the thieves, it lasted for nearly half an hour. This speed was already very fast, but Lu Yao still couldn't help but urge a few words.

It's a little ridiculous to say, most of the soldiers led by Lu Yao at the moment are out of the crowd of Jisang thieves. It has only been half a month since they were included in Lu Yao's subordinates, and even though they were scattered and reorganized many times during the march, in the eyes of Ding Miao, Xue Tong and other officers, these troops were still very unreliable. But now, when cleaning up the remnants of Douluji, these "very unreliable" soldiers have become the main force. They shouted fiercely, kicked and beat the juniors who had only taken refuge more than ten days later than them, pushed them back and forth, released their long-suppressed emotions to the fullest, and exerted their sense of superiority.

This scene reminded Lu Yao of the story he had heard about the jailer and the prisoner in his previous life. How can ten jailers manage hundreds of fierce and rebellious prisoners? Quite simply, it is enough to divide the prisoners into ranks and ask them to check each other.

"TD, my team has become a team!" Ding Miao chewed the dry food and came out of the crowd first.

After breaking up with Ding Shao's Jizhou army, his subordinates added a number of disciples of the Ding clan of the state of Chen, and with them as the backbone, it was naturally easy to clean up dozens of soldiers. What's more, belonging to his subordinates were the first batch of clever goods to surrender such as the Xianbei young man Ba Lieji, Lu Dependent.

"Good!" Lu Yao climbed Ding Miao's shoulder and led him to a pile of supplies: "These are the flags and armor handed over by the horse thief. You choose the elite from the army to wear these, dress up as Dou Luji's subordinates, and use them as the guide later, it will definitely work wonders. ”

Ding Miao thought about it for a moment and nodded: "The Zahu tribe of Daijun has a close relationship with each other and is very familiar. Only use our people, I'm afraid that we still owe some fire. We have to pick a few more clever and reliable captives and use them to come forward. ”

"No problem, you can do it." Lu Yao turned around and walked a few steps, then circled back: "Wen Hao, you must be fast." Shen Jin and Chen Pei had limited troops, and it was impossible to blockade them for a long time. ”

"Don't worry!" Ding Miao patted his chest and said with a big grin.

The Doulu Ji Department has been completely annihilated, but the battle has only just begun.

According to Zhu Sheng's report, since the news of the caravan's arrival spread, the Hu tribe and horse thieves in Daijun have gone as wild as wolves that are hungry and thirsty in the cold season. Several tribes, large and small, which were the first to receive the information, began to mobilize late last night and sent troops early in the morning. It was only because it was closest to Guangchang and its leader acted too rashly that it won the first opportunity. At this moment, at least four groups of horse thieves were rapidly approaching, and their advance cavalry was no more than thirty miles away.

Shen Jin and Chen Pei were leading their subordinates to search back and forth, strangling the approaching Hu scouts. But as Lu Yao said, once the Hu tribe came in large numbers, the two of them would not be able to resist it no matter what. The total number of these four thieves is more than two thousand, and Lu Yao does not think that there is a need to face them head-on at present.

Relying on Shen Jin and Chen Pei to lead the nuisance, they should be able to delay their actions for at least two hours. This amount of time is enough for the Jin army to win the second target.

The area of activity of the horse thieves of the Doulu Ji Department is roughly centered on the area of fifty miles north and south of Lianshuitan. Sixty miles east of Lianshuitan, in the gently sloping hilly area, there was an important ally of Douluji, a small branch of the Southern Xiongnu: the Bo Mi Ministry. Since Xianbei occupied the Xiongnu homeland, the Bobei Department has become a vassal of the Xianbei people. It was only after the decline of the central part that they acted independently, and their leader is said to have been brothers with Doulu Ji last year, and the relationship between the two parties is very close. The Bombers continued to provide supplies such as meat and livestock to the horse thieves, and occasionally joined the ranks of the horse thieves to raid the merchants.

The Bombers were a small tribe, and their size was about one hundred and fifty yuan, which means that the mobilization limit was six hundred. And after Lu Yao's department collects these prisoners, it will reach 1,600. The army has the upper hand, but it can also drive the thieves to take the lead, and then make a surprise attack to attack them unprepared...... This is the battle to win.

Ding Miao had already distributed those flags and armor at this time. He shouted loudly and set out with his army.

Lu Yao watched the cavalry disappear into the mountains and forests in the distance, and turned back to urge the rest of the troops to speed up their movements.

An hour later. Although the sky was still bright, the sun was already setting in the west, and it was nearly dusk.

"General, although Hu'er of Daijun is fierce, he may not be all robbers and thieves. For example, although this Bo Scorn Department is in collusion with thieves, it has never been hostile to us after all. We're just going to kill them so recklessly? …… Such an arrogant action is afraid that it will anger those Hu people. Ding Yu asked in a humming voice.

Ding Miao glanced at him, waved his hand, and ordered more than a hundred of his subordinates who followed closely behind him to speed forward. He pondered for a moment and said solemnly: "Ding Yu, you are now a team leader, a general who can command thousands of troops. You have to grow a little better, don't just bury your head in the fight like you used to, but learn to understand things. ”

As a person in the Jinyang army who is recognized as never worrying about things, it is rare for Ding Miao to speak like this. And Ding Yu said innocently: "General, I'm thinking about it." I asked you if I didn't understand. ”

Ding Miao couldn't help but roll his eyes. In terms of bravery and good fighting, he is a well-deserved first under the command of Yue Shi Gong, and he is even more famous for his out-of-character jump, but if he really regards this son of the Qian Guoshi clan as an ordinary rough and fierce soldier, it would be a big mistake. Under the straightforward and almost reckless appearance, Ding Miao also has a delicate mind, but it is rarely revealed.

"The reason why people were sent around to spread the news of the caravan passing was to mobilize the thieves. When those beards poured out of the nest, they were doomed to lose the geographical advantage of being in battle, and they could only chase after us and eat ashes from now on, hahaha......"

Ding Miao leaned back and smiled for a long time, and continued:

"We didn't intend to put Hu'er on the charge of robbing the merchants...... In the past ten years, these Hu people have plundered more than three or five hundred merchants, and each of them has more or less blood on their hands...... Do you think they care about that? In fact, it doesn't matter who robs the business travel, and it doesn't matter whether the Bo Scorn Department colludes with the Doulu Ji Department; Even if these Hu'er suddenly become good people who do good deeds and accumulate virtues, we will still let go and kill. Ding Miao patted the double iron halberd placed in front of the saddle: "With this, we say that whoever is guilty is guilty." As long as we move fast enough, no one can stop us! ”

Ding Miao repeated in a deep voice: "Do you understand, we have to move fast, this is the key!" ”

In a moment of speaking, more than 100 horsemen had crossed a field full of fluffs. Looking ahead, there is a small cultivated field with a number of peasants scattered among the fields, and a simple village in the center of the field. Many of the Zahu tribes of Daijun have been in the city for decades, and in the process of interacting with the Han Chinese, many of them have gradually adopted the production methods of sedentary farming. For example, in the current Bo Ministry, farming has to some extent replaced animal husbandry as the backbone of the entire tribe, and they no longer live in vaults, but wooden buildings that are no different from those of the Han Chinese.

"Let's go! Let's go! Ding Miao ordered.

Hundreds of horsemen, dressed in armor seized from the horse thieves of the Doulu Division, crossed the fields directly. Many farmers looked up in surprise and saw that it was a familiar costume, and then leaned over to tend to the crops again.

Closer to the village, there is a wooden fence in the middle of the road. A middle-aged man with a shirtless body and a diagonal fur coat stood in front of the wooden fence with a hunting bow, vigilantly looking at the galloping horsemen, shouting something loudly in Xianbei language.

Ding Miao slowed down his horse slightly, and ordered, "Pull out the fast Lu family, you go." Let's just say that Dou Luji has grabbed a lot of wealth, and we are here to deliver the message. ”

The Bulge Rush Lu was the Xianbei boy who took the lead in throwing himself into the Jin army. He answered the order, shouted affectionately, and led the way.

With his words, the middle-aged man's expression was visibly relaxed, and he quickly lowered the bow and arrow in his hand and laughed. However, as the cavalry continued to approach, he finally discovered something. After all, except for a few people in the entire cavalry team, most of them were very different in appearance and temperament from the horse thieves in northern Xinjiang.

But it was too late. Ding Miao swept past him on horseback, picked up the iron halberd and knocked it down. The heavy iron halberd shattered his skull like a melon. With a muffled "bang", the man's blood and brains gushed out, and he fell limply.

With Ding Miao's action as an order, hundreds of cavalry raised their guns and knives at the same time to accelerate the impact. The rudimentary fence did not serve to stop it, and they smashed it with a bang.

The village finally reacted, with dozens of people rushing out of their houses armed with weapons, and many children and women screaming in terror. Some people in the surrounding farmland noticed the situation at the entrance of the village, and some people began to run back.

"Those who descend will not be killed!" The cavalry of the Jin army shouted the improvised Hu language and poured into the village. Such a surprise attack was almost impossible to resist, and they rushed back and forth along the few roads in the village, cutting down everyone who dared to resist to the ground.

An old man who looked like a tribal elder fought and retreated under the escort of more than a dozen strong men, shouting loudly at the same time, trying to gather the panicked villagers. As he galloped past them, he drew his bow and arrow, striking the old man in the chest. The old man fell to the ground and died immediately, and the soldiers who had originally guarded this person immediately dispersed, and were chased by the Jin cavalry and killed one by one.

The resistant men in the village were soon slaughtered, and many women and children were driven out of their houses and gathered together in fear.

At this time, Lu Yan dismounted, pulled out his waist knife and cut off the old man's head, and waved it in his hand triumphantly. The blood from the head's neck trickled down his arm like a spring, but he didn't seem to care.

"This kid ......," Ding Yu spat on.

Ding Miao rode forward, unceremoniously waved his horsewhip and slapped it on the face of the Bully Rush: "Okay, I remember your merits." Now take this head and show it to the people outside the village. Tell them that they want the lives of their mothers, wives and children, and that they will kneel down and surrender. ”

He ran out like a frightened rabbit.

When he raised his throat and shouted, the sound of iron hooves stomping on the ground was loud, and it was Lu Yao himself leading the team to quickly approach.
