The main general was killed instantly without any defense, and the official army suddenly sent cavalry to raid. The bandit army, which was trapped in a state of headless dragons, almost collapsed without even making decent resistance.

The next battle turned into a boring pursuit battle. The first song of the cavalry in the Township Yong Camp was led by the cavalry of one hundred bases, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep. The sword fell down in the hands of the bandits. Some people were constantly killed and dropped.

Moreover, the two thousand thieves had only more than 200 riding horses, and most of them were big and small leaders, and there were no established cavalry at all, so the two hundred cavalry that encountered the official army could only be slaughtered.

The first song of the cavalry kept chasing the bandits and soldiers for more than ten miles before returning.

The results of this battle were extremely brilliant. Cao Fang, the vanguard general of the bandit army, was killed. The bandit army was either killed or trampled to death by horse hooves, or fell into a ditches on the side of the road. The total casualties reached more than 450 people. Except for only more than 200 people who escaped, the remaining more than 1,300 people were all captured.

On the side of the Township Yongying Camp, only one cavalry was dispatched for the first round of two hundred people. If there were casualties, only one cavalry rushed too hard and fell off the horse and broke his leg. No other casualties were killed or killed, which was a big victory with zero casualties.

The thief army never came to the city to persuade the surrender and then collapsed until the entire army collapsed, which was less than two incense sticks. The speed and the results of the battle made the people on the city feel incredible, but they had to believe it, because after all, the whole process was live broadcast, and it would be impossible not to believe it.

But everyone knows that the biggest key to achieving such incredible results in this battle is not the two hundred cavalry who left the city to raid, but the county lieutenant Li, who shot and killed the chief general of the thief army with an arrow far away at the top of the city.

The city was cheering and the sound was shaking. Many people who were originally a little contempt because Li Xu, the county magistrate, were too young, completely put away the contempt in their hearts and cast admirational eyes towards Li Xu.

Looking at the cheering young and strong men who rushed out of the city gate to help the township warriors tie up the prisoners and cleaned the battlefield, Liu Jian, the county magistrate, also dressed in military uniform, looked at Li Xu and sighed softly: "I really believe that you can sweep the thief village in Wild Boar Ridge alone. The arrow you just now is probably comparable to only Huang Hansheng, the Five Tiger Generals."

Li Xu shook his head and said, "Uncle Liu, although Old Huang Zhong is famous for his good shooting, he is also extremely good at Ma Zhan and is brave and resolute. Since Uncle Liu compares me with Huang Hansheng, then I will let you see that my nephew's other abilities are not as weak as Old Huang Zhong. Today these thieves are too weak, and they collapsed with just one arrow. It's really boring."

Liu Jian coughed lightly, ignored his self-bold, and changed the topic: "Although I won this battle today, it can only be delayed for a few days at most. The thief army will definitely come to retaliate in a few days. However, it is enough to win a few days. Those prisoners will definitely ask for some interesting things."

Li Xu understood the truth and chuckled, "Don't worry, Uncle Liu, these prisoners will definitely tell you the news that everyone likes."

Liu Jian smiled when he heard this, turned around and got off the city wall.

The official army won a great victory and the news of the collapse of the bandit army quickly spread throughout the city. The people in the city cheered and ran around and told each other, and everyone was happy. Some even went to the yamen in groups to kneel down to thank the county magistrate Liu Jian and the county magistrate Li Xu.

Those who had seen Li Xu before and suspected him because of his youth shut up, but those who had been optimistic about him before were proud and brag about how prescient he was when they met everyone.

Li Xu handed over the statistics on the results of the battle and the resettlement of prisoners to his subordinates, and at the same time told him to take advantage of the opportunity of great victory in this battle to continue to recruit the township heroes.

For a moment, the village Yongtai gate outside the east gate was crowded with people, which was even more lively than the previous few days. The busy clerk who was in charge of registering and making books was sweating profusely and rubbed his wrists constantly.

Li Xu himself personally interrogated the big and small leaders of the thief army who jumped out after identification.

His interrogation method is very simple and crude. Who can tell useful information about these people? Whether it is information about the generals of the thief army, the next goal of the thief army, or other things, as long as Li Xu finds it useful, he will temporarily spare his life.

If he was perfunctory or wanted to be a tough guy, Li Xu wouldn't talk nonsense and just let someone slash him.

Although this method has no technical content, it is quite useful. Under the intimidation of more than a dozen bloody heads, a thick stack of confessions was piled on the table in front of Li Xu an hour later.

Li Xu quickly looked at it, and the more he looked at the corner of his mouth, the more he smiled. After reading the last picture, he slapped the table with a "bang" and laughed: "The first song of the concession is on standby, and he is ready to follow me to arrest people and search the house."

The guard who was waiting on the side immediately turned around and went out to pass the order.

Li Xu took the stack of confessions and went straight into Liu Jian's signing room. Without saying anything, he put it in front of Liu Jian.

Liu Jian looked up at him and quickly looked through it. After reading it, he burst out with anger on his originally kind round face. He looked at Li Xu and asked only one question: "All it is true?"

"I haven't had time to fake it yet."

Liu Jian let out a long breath, leaned on the back of the chair, and slowly said, "Although I had expected it, I really didn't expect these worms to be so crazy. You can take all three yamen runners with you, kill what you should kill, and catch what you should catch."

Li Xu shook his head and said, "I will take the village to the camp, but I can't trust the people in the yamen."

After saying that, he bowed his hand, turned around and walked out of the door with big strides. The shaky mountain armor on his body rubbed and clanged as the armor leaves rubbed against each other.

Liu Jian looked at Li Xu's back as he was gone, stunned for a moment, shook his head and said to himself, "Although he is smart, he is a little reckless."

After saying that, he lowered his head and continued to look at the confession in front of him.

Among the confessions just now, in addition to some information and information about the bandit army, the most important thing is that the prisoners confessed several families in Sanshui County that clearly had connections with the bandit army. Moreover, these families are well-known figures in Sanshui County, including the Wang family and the Tian family.

The Wang family is naturally the Wang family of the Wang Zhuan.

According to the prisoner's account, Wang Zhuan sent his family's manager Wang Wenlong to the Ningxian County town occupied by Zhao Biao, the general of the thief army, two days ago, and gave a meeting gift of 1,000 taels of silver notes.

Wang Wenlong proposed that when the bandit army attacked Sanshui County, the Wang family's subordinates took advantage of the chaos to open the city gate and let the bandit army enter the city.

To be on the safe side, the Wang family can contact several more gentry as internal supporters.

The condition is that after the thief army enters the city, they must protect these families, and they must hand over Li Xu's life to the Wang family for disposal.

In return, these families will donate a total of 5,000 taels of silver and 1,000 stones of grain to reward the army after the bandit army occupied Sanshui County.

Zhao Biao had no reason not to accept the benefits of delivering them to the door, so he agreed to Wang Wenlong. In order to show his solemnity, the two sides also made a contract and pressed their handprints.

It is precisely because of these people who are internal responses that Sanshui County is another small county that Zhao Biao asked his recently acquired confidant Cao Fang to attack Sanshui County with two thousand people.

What's more, when Wang Wenlong said that the new county magistrate of Sanshui County was still a 16-year-old little baby, he laughed even more, thinking that this time he came to Sanshui County was just a bargain.

This information was confessed by the guy next to Cao Fang who was persuaded to surrender. He was Cao Fang's confidant. After hearing Cao Fang said this, he was also a clever person, so I remember it very clearly.

When Li Xu saw this confession, he was a little unbelievable. He thought that the old turtle king, the king, could calm down, and at least he had to look at the situation and bet on the bet. Unexpectedly, the old guy placed a bet before he could start the game, which made him feel that this guy had lived in vain.

In addition to the Wang family, there is also a Tian family.

The Tian family was the one Li Xu offended when he first entered the city. He thought they had a relationship with the bandits in the Hei Niu Nest, but he didn't expect that they would also collude with the thief army.

Originally, Li Xu planned to find some evidence to deal with the Tian family after he had copied the thief's nest in the future. Unexpectedly, this time the big rabbit was caught in the whole bunny.

It's okay, it's easier to avoid cleaning up these bed bugs and mice at once, and it will be troublesome in the future.

In addition to these two families, there are other Du families, the Pan family and Zhang family, who also followed the Wang family to join the thief army.

Although these families are not as famous as the Wang family and the Tian family, they are also famous gentry and wealthy families in Sanshui County. Every family has shops in the county town, and there are also villages in the countryside. The Du family, which has the least land, also has more than 700 acres of land.

When Li Xu saw this confession, he was not too angry, but was secretly happy.

I had to play with the idea of ​​getting more money and food, but I didn't expect that now I don't even have to find excuses, let alone Tan Lun's robbery, and I could just confiscate other people's houses openly and righteously.

Thinking about the boxes of silver and the grain piled up in the barn, Li Xu was a little excited.

After this house search, his direct troops could be expanded.

After leaving the gate of the yamen, the first song of the village-yong camp infantry was already on standby, looking at Li Xu one by one, with a desire to fight in his eyes.

In today's battle, except for Li Xu, the cavalry's first song was given. The infantry did not get any battle at all, and they were filled with anger.

Everyone is a direct member of the lord. Why do you cut your heads and cut them off so well, but we can only clean up the battlefield for you after you do it?

So everyone was dissatisfied with it, and even wanted to have another wave of thieves to let them survive the addiction to killing thieves.

In the hearts of these direct soldiers, there are only eight words: "I am eager to fight, but I am happy when I hear the battle", and all negative emotions do not exist.

When I heard that my lord wanted to take them to search the house, I was so excited that I screamed.

Seeing the soldiers' hot eyes, Li Xu was also infected. He jumped onto the yellow horse, raised the four-edged iron mace in his hand and waved it forward: "Set out, if there is any resistance, kill it without any slightest!"

"promise!"

Two hundred soldiers responded in unison, and the sky thunder suddenly exploded. Everyone inside and outside the yamen was shocked. Even Liu Jian, who was sitting in the second yamen, suddenly looked up and looked out the door.

"Are all the local heroes so fierce now?"
