Once the bandits are prepared, it will be impossible for them to ambush.
Li Xing set up a large formation, preparing to face off against the remaining 10,000 bandits.
Different from Yun Chao's showdown before the checkpoint, what Li Xing faced was not the gangsters guarding their lair, but a group of people who were occupying the trenches, carrying large and small bags on their backs, and escorting thousands of people in large trucks. The guy who is walking home.
Although the number of bandits is greater than that of the Yun family army, their fighting ability and fighting will are far behind.
No way, I brought too many things.
In terms of silver alone, everyone carries at least a dozen taels, and some even carry hundreds of taels.
In addition to money, many people also carried cloth, salt and other valuables, weighing at least dozens of kilograms, and as many as hundreds of kilograms!
There were too many things to carry, so the bandits robbed a large number of transportation vehicles.
For this reason, tens of thousands of people were forced to become strong men.
In addition to possessions, there are also women.
Many bandits robbed women.
Some snatched one, some snatched several.
There were so many women gathered together, some crying, some yelling, some making noises, it was an extraordinary mess.
The bandits were busy taking care of their own belongings and taking care of the women they had snatched, so how could they think of fighting against the Yun family's army.
Li Xing discovered this quickly and made timely adjustments.
Let go of frontal interception and instead harass from the side.
If the bandits carrying a large number of beauties and valuables were stopped and refused to pass, they would really risk their lives in a hurry.
Get out of the way. The bandits are all eager to take their capture home, and no one is willing to stay and fight.
As a result, in less than half a day, the bandits with their own agenda collapsed.
They scrambled and fled frantically with their belongings.
You don’t need to be the fastest, you just need to be faster than your accomplices!
They all want to run faster than their accomplices, so that's a good thing.
Before long, the bandits were on the run.
There were more than 10,000 bandits, plus thousands of women they had snatched, tens of thousands of carts, and tens of thousands of strong men. The chaos caused even Li Xing's scalp to go numb!
"Send the order, don't worry about other people and things, just kill the bandits of Ohnozawa!"
Li Xing thought there would be a bloody battle, but he didn't expect that he would enter a pursuit battle so quickly.
In the beginning, some bandits would fight tooth and nail for their property and women. As casualties increased dramatically, there were no more bandits who dared to stay and fight for their lives.
As they ran away, almost all the bandits gave up the looted goods and the women.
In the end, even the money he had on him was thrown away.
Most of the bandits had thrown away their weapons and armor before throwing away their silver.
Compared with equipment, silver is more important, so I throw it away last.
Bandits without weapons and equipment can no longer be called bandits. As long as they are caught up by the Yun family army, they will have almost no power to fight back. In addition to being killed, they can only kneel down and surrender.
However, because there were too many bandits, the Yun family army sometimes failed to catch them in time. Some bandits took advantage of their familiarity with the road and took a detour to escape.
Unexpectedly, halfway through, they encountered another roadblock. Yun Chao sent two regiments from Jia Mancang's Third Division to meet Li Xing.
After defeating the leader of Song Dynasty in front of the checkpoint of Shanzhai, Yun Chao observed for two days and felt that there were not many bandits left in the bandits' lair, and the possibility of counterattack was not high.
So, two regiments were separated to help Li Xing encircle the point to provide reinforcements.
As a result, the returning bandits collapsed before they could join Li Xing's second division. So what are you waiting for? Hurry up and beat up the drowned dog!
First they were intercepted by Li Xing's Second Division, and then by two regiments of Jia Mancang's Third Division. Not even ten thousand bandits were lucky enough to escape.
The remaining bandits ran away in a daze and bumped into the Yun Family Army troops in front of the checkpoint.
Some were smarter and did not return directly from the checkpoint to the village. Instead, they went around to other places in Onezawa and prepared to take a boat back to Liangshan.
Some of these bandits eventually returned to their villages, while others failed to find a boat and simply pretended to be ordinary people and went to make a living elsewhere.
After such a miserable defeat this time, even if we can return to Liangshan, we still don’t know what will happen next.
Now that you've run away, don't go back. The world is so big, isn't there a place for you?
In the end, only 5,000 Ohnozawa bandits escaped back to their lair.
Seeing the five thousand defeated soldiers who were almost defenseless, Brother Gongming burst into tears.
The subordinates who feel sorry for the loss are secondarily worried about their own recruitment plan!
Without enough troops to use as bargaining chips, what can we use to negotiate with the court?
…
One piece of good news came, and Yun Chao was so happy that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear.
The Onozawa bandits have been causing trouble in Jeju for so long. They thought that most of the good things had been robbed, but they were pleasantly surprised.
Li Xing made a preliminary summary and found that nearly three million taels of silver alone were seized.
The sight of a large cart transporting silver made Yun Jiajun dizzy.
There are also gold, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, as well as a large amount of hard currency such as grain, cloth and salt.
In addition, there are so many women, which makes Yun Jiajun even more dizzy!
For the tens of thousands of remaining men, Yun Chao did not let Li Xing make things difficult for them and let them go home on their own.
Of course, Yun Chao didn't let Li Xing make things difficult for those poor women and let them go home on their own.
However, Yun Chao was not a holy mother, and she did not give out money. At most, each person was given a few large cakes to save on food, so that they could keep walking for two days.
They are all from Jeju, and they are within the confines of Jeju. Two days is enough to walk home.
If anyone doesn't want to go home and is willing to stay and help, Yun Jiajun won't refuse. He's the kind who takes care of three square meals a day without giving any money.
As a result, many people stayed to help, not only men, but also many women.
First, it is not safe for women to go home alone, and second, many women do not know how to face their families.
The principle is similar to that of Tian Xiao'e and Hua Erjie. Women who are kidnapped by bandits will be looked down upon even if they return home, and will be in trouble for the rest of their lives.
Especially after seeing the Yun Jiajun's propaganda team and medical team, many people made up their minds not to go home, but to work with the Yun Jiajun from now on!
Most of the propaganda team and medical corps members were female, and many of them were women who had been raped by bandits. Their personal stories quickly aroused the resonance of the victimized women.
We are all descended from the same place in the world and have similar experiences, so we naturally feel close to each other.
"I want to stay and be a publicity team to promote Master Yun!"
"I want to be a medical soldier and treat the brothers of the Yun Family Army!"
"I want to repay my kindness. If anyone saves me, I will give my life to him!"
"..."
When dealing with these poor people who were saved by him, the Yun family army did not hide anything. They neither said that they were bandits nor that they were Red Turban soldiers.
We are the Yun family army, Lord Yun’s army, the people’s army, and our own people’s team!
