Ding Yangchun was riding on the horse with a proud look on his face.
Since Pan Yong died in battle, he became the acting commander of Qingyang Battalion.
Even if nearly half of the soldiers were lost in order to get rid of Pan Yong, which greatly reduced the combat effectiveness of the Qingyang Battalion, Ding Yangchun felt that it was worth it.
Anyway, most of the people who died were Pan Yong's people. Even if they didn't die, they wouldn't necessarily be obedient. It would be better to die cleanly.
It doesn't matter, as long as you can get rid of the word "generation" and become the real commander of Qingyang Camp, you can recruit as many soldiers as you want.
If you don't have enough fighting power, just train slowly.
Now is a good opportunity for him, Ding Yangchun, to make meritorious deeds.
There are bandits causing trouble in Woniuzhai. You can lead your troops to exterminate the bandits and seize a batch of grain. As long as you report it, the acting camp commander will definitely become a real commander!
What, among them there are soldiers and archers from the Inspection Department, not bandits?
Are you kidding me? Who dares to say that the Bull Demon King is not the master of Wo Niu Village?
Who dares to say that Wu Jiaolong is not the leader of the Nanhu water bandits?
As for Yun Er, the double patrol officer of Sanshui Town and Woniu Town, of course he died heroically while assisting Qingyang Camp in suppressing bandits.
When one person is glorious, the whole family is glorious, and there is nothing wrong with it at all!
Humph, that guy Yun Er is so cheap.
If the master hadn't been worried about the unrest, Ding Yangchun would have said that Yun Er was an accomplice of the bandits, making him infamy for eternity!
"General, ahead is Wo Niu Village!"
Ding Yangchun was thinking about how to make money and get back the gifts he had given to his superiors, when suddenly a scout came over to report that Wo Niu Village had arrived.
"Um?"
Ding Yangchun stretched his neck and looked around. Wo Niuzhai was less than 500 meters away from him.
"Everyone is here, arrange your formation, follow me to kill the enemy, don't let a single bandit escape!"
There is only a mountain road leading to Woniu Village. Even if they can run a horse-drawn carriage, they cannot deploy the formations commonly used by infantry.
The goose-shaped formation, the circular formation, the square formation, and the one-word long snake formation all don't work.
Even the offensive cone array can only be arranged in a long line, which is extremely ugly.
The cavalry was unable to cruise on both sides of the infantry formation and had to be placed behind to hold down the formation.
Well, it's said to be holding the battle, but actually it's supervising the battle.
The Qingyang Battalion had suffered a major defeat just a few months ago. The commander and nearly half of the elite soldiers were killed in the battle, and the remaining defeated soldiers had completely lost their morale.
After becoming the acting commander, Ding Yangchun spent a lot of effort, including nepotism and taking advantage of others, and finally placed a group of his "cronies" in various important positions. It's just barely decent.
However, Ding Yangchun knew in his heart that many people below him were dissatisfied with him.
It doesn't matter if you don't accept it, I don't need you to accept it. After this battle is over, I will become a real commander and I will have many ways to deal with you!
Although Ding Yangchun's skills are meager, he is not a pure fool. He also has some experience in marching and fighting.
Not only did they send scouts to clear out the hidden sentries along the way, but when they attacked Wo Niu Village, they also prepared to send a team of fifty vanguards first.
However, since it is a sneak attack, the people in the village cannot be given too much time to prepare.
Therefore, when the scouts came to report that the fighting in the stronghold was fierce, with countless casualties and the few remaining people still fighting madly, Ding Yangchun did not send anyone to conduct repeated reconnaissance, but waved his hand: "Pioneer Officer Where are they? Come to me! Kill them all, leaving no chickens or dogs behind!"
"yes!"
The so-called vanguard officer is actually a captain under Ding Yangchun. According to the establishment, a captain should lead one hundred soldiers.
Unfortunately, Qingyang Camp is now in a semi-disabled state, and even Ding Yangchun's close followers can only lead fifty subordinates.
After receiving the order, the vanguard of fifty people rushed out and quickly rushed into the stronghold.
As soon as they entered the village, they were shocked.
There were corpses with broken arms everywhere, and many of the corpses still had signs of being scorched by the fire.
There were not many people left standing. There were more than a dozen bandits, chasing five or six guys in uniform uniforms. They should be Yun Er's soldiers and archers.
As soon as they saw officers and soldiers coming, whether they were soldiers being chased by bandits or bandits who were chasing soldiers, they all shouted and fled in a swarm from the back door of the cottage.
The leaders were so angry that they jumped on their feet and cursed.
I didn't cut with a knife or poke with a gun, and I couldn't even see a living person. This is a complete achievement!
"Come on, these bandits are so cunning. They are lying on the ground and pretending to be dead. They want to make a sneak attack. Kill them all!"
The vanguard team was a little nervous at first. Suppressing bandits and performing meritorious service was a matter for officials, so they had a rough relationship with these small soldiers.
Now when I see the extremely dead corpses all over the ground, I suddenly feel less nervous. Since we are asked to kill the ones in charge, let’s kill them. Who doesn’t want the credit for picking them up in vain?
What's more, there is still a lot of broken silver scattered on the ground. If you don't pick up the ready-made silver, you will chase and kill the fleeing bandits, unless your head is caught in the door.
As a result, all the officers and soldiers swarmed up and faced the already horrible corpses on the ground, and immediately started a mad attack, destroying them even more horribly.
It's "killing" again and collecting money again. You're so busy, aren't you?
At the same time, these guys were still roaring wildly. Those who knew it were chopping up corpses, but those who didn't know it thought they were in a deadly battle!
After struggling for a while, the pioneer officer saw that all the silver on the ground was almost gone, and quickly stopped him. He ate the meat himself, but he had to leave some soup for the people behind him. Eating alone would kill people.
It's not that no scouts saw this scene, it's just that no one told Ding Yangchun.
It is obvious that this bandit suppression is a feast for everyone to gain credit.
Everyone wants to get more credit, everyone wants to get more benefits, so why make enemies of Ding Yangchun's cronies.
Ding Yangchun didn't know the specific situation in the village at all, let alone that his vanguard team had been shouting for a long time, but only "killed" a group of corpses.
In Ding Yangchun's knowledge, there was not even a single person in Qingyang County who could fight.
The bandits in Woniuzhai, the water bandits in Nanhu, including the soldiers and archers from the Inspection Department, are all weak scum. In front of these formally trained officers and soldiers, they can all be killed with one move!
Therefore, after receiving the report from his subordinates that there were no survivors in the village, Ding Yangchun rushed in with a large group of people without any doubt!
Of course, the rear team still made arrangements. No matter how bad Ding Yangchun was, there was no way he would not leave a way out for himself.
However, those who stayed on guard outside the village were all people whom Ding Yangchun did not want to see. It was not their turn to divide the spoils and share the fruits of victory.
As soon as he entered the village, Ding Yangchun was stunned.
It was too tragic. There were corpses everywhere in the village, many of which were burned by the fire.
How was this battle fought?
Isn't it incredible that a group of bandits and a group of soldiers who lacked both equipment and training were able to fight like this?
"Come here, find these bandit leaders for me, General. You want to see them alive, and you want to see their bodies dead!"
