Qin Feng, who had witnessed the entire battle with his own eyes, had already made an accurate judgment.

There is not much problem with the other party's command, which shows that the other party's leader has certain military qualities and must have joined the army before.

But the eight hundred soldiers under his command are almost all rogue bandits and bandits.

And because their only chance was to eliminate Qin Feng on the official road, they were unable to induce Qin Feng to take the initiative to attack. Under the premise of a serious lack of weapons and equipment, the seemingly ferocious attack turned out to be an egg against a stone.

They didn't even know whether there was Niu Er, mother and son in the carriage.

It can be seen that their intelligence capabilities are also approaching zero.

So it can be basically judged that this group of people must have been instructed by the wealthy people in the south to come here to fight for their lives, hoping to fight for wealth.

If they faced anyone, even the Tianji camp guards, they would not be beaten so badly.

After all, the armor of Tianji camp guards is stronger than light armor, but far inferior to heavy armor.

The Black Cavalry is equipped with the strongest heavy armor in the world, and coupled with profound combat experience, it is difficult for this group of bandits to reach the sky, let alone defeat the Black Cavalry, or even kill any one of them.

"The opponent suffered heavy casualties and their morale has collapsed. Even a fully-organized unit will have countless deserters once its morale collapses, not to mention these people?"

"Even if a lot of them escape, they can no longer be organized. The remaining stragglers can be handed over to the local county magistrate."

"The real trouble is not this ragtag group of people, but the wealthy southern clan behind them."

"I'm afraid there will be countless examples like this in the future. They only need to pay a small amount of money to deceive a large number of people, work for them, and disrupt the internal security of Daliang."

"The following security wars will become the norm."

After hearing Qin Feng's analysis, Zhao Yulong couldn't help but sigh.

If it were a head-on battle, Zhao Yulong would naturally not be afraid at all, but the dense and multi-pronged small-scale harassment caused Zhao Yulong an extremely headache.

The mobilization of regular troops is very troublesome, so it is impossible to effectively attack these sparrow-like small groups of enemies.

Therefore, the main pressure of the public security war falls on the counties.

"So, there's really nothing we can do?"

Facing Zhao Yulong's interrogation, Qin Feng shrugged: "There are only two ways."

"The first is to concentrate on governing the country. As long as the people's lives are okay, they will not fall into the trap of bandits. Fundamentally, it will make it more difficult for these thieves to recruit troops."

"Secondly, it will naturally be the use of troops against the wealthy families in the southern region in the coming spring."

"As long as we can conquer the wealthy families in the south, these grassroots bandits will slowly disappear without the support of funds and talents."

"As for other methods..."

Qin Feng couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly: "At least before the war with the southern nobles, there is no good way to prevent such harassment by rogue bandits."

"We can only ask the counties to strengthen patrols and defenses and start a war of attrition with the wealthy families in the south."

Zhao Yulong felt a headache when he heard the words "war of attrition".

But having said that, any war in the world is ultimately based on the word "consumption".

Either consume the opponent's effective strength, or consume logistical materials, or consume morale and national strength.

Whoever can withstand the consumption will have the last laugh.

The wealthy families in the southern region supported the rebels and carried out looting and destruction in order to consume Daliang's national power and accumulate opportunities for the next war.

At this moment, Wu Chenggong, the magistrate of Yuping County, came panting and ran over with about a hundred county soldiers to support the battle.

When he saw the corpses on the ground and the black knight with almost no injuries, Wu Chenggong was stunned on the spot.

He couldn't believe his eyes and said nonchalantly: "The battle is over?!"

Looking at the shocked Wu Chenggong, before Qin Feng could answer, Zhao Yulong had already written lightly: "What's so strange?"

"The Black Cavalry are the elite warriors who have survived countless brutal wars."

"If we are facing a ragtag group of people and have to fight hard, then there is no need for us to exist."

Although Zhao Yulong said it easily, Wu Chenggong was still shocked.

At the beginning, there were less than 200 bandits, but they caused chaos in Yuping County and everyone was in danger.

Now, there are more than 300 corpses scattered on the battlefield alone!

According to basic common sense, if three hundred people die before the battle ends, then the total number of opponents must be at least eight hundred.

Facing an ambush of 800 people, he killed the opponent in such a short period of time without losing a single person.

This terrifying battle loss ratio has completely subverted Wu Chenggong's perception.

Wu Chenggong, who gradually recovered from the shock, was trembling with excitement: "Master Qin Hou, on behalf of the people of Yuping County, I would like to thank you for your rescue."

Looking at Wu Chenggong with a sincere expression, Qin Feng said there was no need to care and reminded him sincerely.

"Although these bandits have been defeated, they will never leave easily."

"Next, we should work hard to maintain law and order in Yuping County. If we find any signs of banditry activities, we should immediately send troops to crack down. We must not let them develop and grow."

Wu Chenggong nodded like a fool, saying that he would do his best to maintain the security of Yuping County.

Everything that needed to be done was done and everything that needed to be said was said. Qin Feng no longer hesitated and led the team on their way home.

Wu Chenggong took Qin Feng's words as a motto. He did not dare to be careless in the slightest, and immediately led the county soldiers to launch a comprehensive clearing of the woods where the bandits were fleeing.

It took a whole day to catch more than a dozen thieves.

But most of the thieves had already escaped without a trace.

On a hill at the junction of Yuping County and Zhao County, the three Uhli brothers and a dozen brothers around them were hiding here.

Both Wu Heli and Chen Yanzong were injured and extremely weak.

It wasn't until the brothers grabbed a doctor from the mountain and after some treatment and bandaging, the injury was barely stabilized.

As for whether it will get worse, they have no idea, so they can only leave it to fate.

Uhri leaned against the rock wall with a depressed expression. When he thought of his third brother Raymond, who was killed by the black knight in one glance, he felt extremely sad.

Chang Cheng was not much better. Before taking action, he thought he was fully prepared.

But……

When the fight actually started, he realized what a stupid decision it was to try to besiege Qin Feng.

Obviously, Qin Feng knew their movements well from the beginning. This battle was by no means a calculated ambush, but... a self-inflicted trap without knowing whether to live or die.
