The Xinghe Army obeyed the command in all its actions and basically did it like an arm.
Huang Yi actually doesn't need to personally participate in shielding the battlefield.
That's because Huang Yi feels that this kind of work can not only exercise his body, but also improve his riding skills, and show him sharing the joys and sorrows with the soldiers.
Therefore, whenever he had time, he would personally participate in the capture of enemy scouts and sentinels.
Hundreds of cavalry were deployed separately. Business travelers and ordinary people traveling on official roads and trails were only allowed to go northeast. All those going southwest were arrested, and they were immediately screened and interrogated.
This approach was tantamount to suddenly cutting off official channels, and the hundreds of men and women who were arrested were so frightened that their faces turned pale.
In this era, no one dares to point their noses and accuse officials of violating human rights and abusing power...
Seeing the soldiers with helmets and armor, everyone was more frightened than the bandits, and they all knelt down and begged the "Soldier" for mercy.
Huang Yi came from a later generation, and he only knew that when one person joins the army, the whole family is glorious. He has only seen the relationship between the military and the civilians, and has only seen the close relationship between the military and the civilians. He has never seen the relationship between the military and the civilians being on the same level.
Traveling to the end of the Ming Dynasty, even if they fought outside the Great Wall and captured the Mongolian tribes, the Mongols were not as frightened as the captured Han people.
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
Why?
In the late Ming Dynasty, there was a family of soldiers and bandits. The bandits and bandits robbed the family of food and money, but the women may not be killed.
The Ming army with corrupt military discipline not only wanted food, money, and women, they also wanted to cut off people's heads to take credit for their crimes, and they also wanted to kill people and silence them to cover up the evidence of their crimes.
Therefore, in the eyes of ordinary people, the Ming army was even more terrifying than rogue bandits, bandits, and horse bandits.
We must publicize the Xinghe Camp and try to let hundreds of millions of people in the Ming Dynasty know that there is a savior-like army in the world.
Next, the young soldiers began to imitate the tone of the governor and talk to the detained business travelers and ordinary people.
The young soldiers told everyone kindly that the Xinghe Army temporarily detained them because they wanted to completely wipe out the Xue Mazi bandit gang entrenched in this area.
The Xinghe Army is a well-disciplined iron army that will never kill innocent people indiscriminately. The Xinghe Army does not pull civilians, does not steal food, does not molest women, and does not even take a needle or thread from the common people.
The young soldiers said, and hundreds of businessmen, travelers, and ordinary people just listened. They pretended to have expressions of fear on their faces, but in their hearts they cursed: I believe you are a ghost!
Ideological work cannot be done in one go. It doesn't matter, as time goes by, people's hearts will be revealed!
All in all, this method of talking one by one was effective. As expected, six or seven spies of Xue Mazi's gang were identified from five to six hundred ordinary people.
How to identify them is also very particular. The calluses on the hands are different from holding weapons all day long and holding hoes and sickles all day long.
Kuhaha farmers are basically reluctant to wear shoes, and few of the bandit spies are barefoot.
Farmers need to carry it on their backs, and they also have old skin on their shoulders.
The most effective way to identify is to tell where your home is and ask people in the same village to identify it. Find a spy and interrogate his accomplices...
There were many benefits to having six or seven spies interrogate him separately. They found out Xue Mazi's soldiers, horses, equipment, and even which concubine Xue Mazi liked.
In just one day, Huang Yi's troops blocked all the gang's escape routes.
During the deployment, the sentry cavalry of Xinghe Battalion captured more than a dozen sentinels sent by Xue Mazi.
There is no way, the telescopes of the Xinghe Army have been equipped to the deputy general flag level, and all the corps commanders of the sentry detectives have them.
With the naked eye, the enemy's sentinels are often spotted from five miles away. After falling into the trap, they are surrounded.
In the uniform shouts with a Shanxi accent, the bandit sentry horses surrounded by armored cavalry did not dare to resist, and they were basically captured without help.
Xue Mazi didn't come back to the sentry for two days in a row, so of course he felt something was fishy.
But what can he do about it?
He had a thousand or several hundred followers, including seven to eight hundred young men, and nearly two hundred horse bandits equipped with chainmail.
How can I bear this when news from the outside world is suddenly cut off?
Of course, we need to call a few leaders to discuss it.
Xue Mazi is a habitual bandit. He has been robbing and kidnapping in Jinzhong for more than ten years. At the beginning, there were only a dozen people and seven or eight knives.
In recent years, the ruling power of the government has become weaker and weaker, and local powerful people have become more and more lawless.
Too many people were forced to take risks, so Xue Mazi's men gathered more and more.
He is so smart that he not only refrains from robbing powerful aristocratic families, but also keeps in contact with these people quietly...
It is true that all evil forces have protective umbrellas.
Xue Mazi got better and better as he got around, and his strength had surpassed that of a garrison camp. When he went to prefectures, cities, and counties, he had to pay to pay taxes and money.
Today, he has thirteen Taibao as his boss, and the second boss Liu Jindong's proficiency in bow and horse is what he values the most.
Today we convened for a meeting, but only twelve of the Thirteen Taibao came, and Lao Jiu went out to collect the ransom and has not returned yet.
The gangsters had a keen sense of smell, and they all felt the unusual smell, and they were all on pins and needles.
When Lao Ye yelled that they came to discuss matters, they all suggested that capable people should be sent to scout.
The final result was that Liu Jindong, who was once the flag officer of the border army, personally led eighteen armored cavalry who were skilled in bow and horse to go to the official road and act accordingly.
This kid had terrible luck. He just happened to run into the encirclement that Huang Yi personally participated in.
After interrogating the prisoners, Huang Yi and all the officers knew the number and equipment of Xue Mazi's gang.
After seeing less than twenty armored cavalry, he immediately realized that the border troops who had turned into bandits had appeared.
These people are the backbone of Xue Mazi's gang, and of course they can't let any of them go.
The first person to discover these troops was Yu Shaoshan, an activist for the suppression of bandits. Because he had been a horse bandit for ten years and was good at this, he chose the right position to spy on them.
The Xinghe Army cavalry has rich experience in calculating sentry horses and reconnaissance cavalry.
When Liu Jindong realized the danger, it was already too late. A group of cavalry blocking the road appeared directly in front of them.
Liu Jindong looked at it again and again, and couldn't help but gasp. He was a frontier cavalryman and the lowest-ranking officer. Of course he knew the stuff.
The men and horses in front of me are neat and solemn, with bright armor, and the horses are all fat and strong. They should be the general's personal bodyguards!
It's incredible, with more than fifty such powerful armored servants, the general who leads the army must have a good background. At the very least, he should be a frontier guerrilla.
There are only nineteen horses in their place. In order to maintain horse power, they always have one person and two horses.
Seeing so many armored cavalry blocking the road, how dare they step forward to fight, they immediately turned their horses and ran away. Unfortunately, after running less than a mile, they were blocked by another group of cavalry.
The interceptors were also more than fifty armored cavalry, equally majestic.
Liu Jindong was shocked. With so many armored servants, the leader of this Biao army was probably not just a guerrilla, but at least a general.
The road here was familiar. Liu Jindong, who didn't dare to rush forward, immediately ran to the west path, but unexpectedly, there was also a group of people waiting there!
