The Xinghe Army obeyed the command in all its actions and basically did it like an arm.

In fact, Huang Yi does not need to personally participate in the shielding 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 cavalrymen were deployed separately. Business travelers traveling on official roads and trails, and ordinary people who were only allowed to go to the northeast or southwest were all arrested, immediately screened and concentrated for interrogation.

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 and generals wearing helmets and whipping armor, everyone was more frightened than seeing 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 one man joined the army and his whole family was glorious. He had only seen the relationship between the army and the people, and had only seen the close relationship between the army and the people. He had never seen the relationship between the army and the people being on the same level.

Traveling to the late 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.

Why?

In the late Ming Dynasty, there was a family of soldiers and bandits. The bandits and bandits robbed the food and money, but the women might not necessarily kill them all.

However, 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, mountain 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 this 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 that there were hundreds of merchants traveling there, and the common people just listened, pretending to have expressions of fear on their faces, but in their hearts they cursed: I believe you are a ghost!

Ideological work is not something that can be done in one go. It doesn’t matter, as time goes by, people’s hearts will change!

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 among five or six hundred ordinary people.

How to identify is also very particular. Holding weapons all day long is different from holding hoes and sickles all day long. The calluses on the hands are different.

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 the home is and ask fellow villagers to identify it. Find a spy and then torture the accomplice...

There are many advantages to having six or seven spies interrogating each other separately. Xue Mazi's soldiers, horses, equipment, and even which concubine Xue Mazi likes can be found out clearly.

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 Xinghe Army's telescopes have been equipped to the deputy general flag level, and all the corps commanders of the sentry detectives have them.

The enemy's sentinels are often spotted five miles away with the naked eye, and they are surrounded after falling into a trap.

In the uniform shouts with a Shanxi accent, the bandits who were surrounded by armored cavalry did not dare to fight, 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 you 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 people in Jinzhong for more than ten years. At the beginning, he only had 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. As he developed, he had to pay for transportation to all prefectures, cities, and counties to pay taxes and money.

Today, he has thirteen chiefs under him, and the second chief, Liu Jindong, is skilled in bow and horse and is what he values ​​most.

Today we convened for a meeting, but only twelve of the Thirteen Taibao in charge 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 sensed unusual smells, 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 investigate.

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 bows and horses to the official road and acted 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 fallen into disgrace had appeared.

These people are the backbone of Xue Mazi's gang, so of course we can't let any of them go.

The first person to discover these troops was Yu Shaoshan, an activist in 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.

He has rich experience in calculating sentry horses, reconnaissance cavalry, and Xinghe Army cavalry.

When Liu Jindong realized the danger, it was already too late. A group of cavalry appeared directly in front of them, blocking the road.

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 his 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 all be the general's bodyguards!

It's incredible, with more than fifty such fierce armored servants, the general who leads the army must have a lot of background. At the very least, he should be a frontier guerrilla.

They only have nineteen horses, so in order to maintain horse power, they always have one person and two horses.

Seeing so many armored cavalry blocking the road, they didn't dare to 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.
