"Second Master, our harvest is quite good this time. We have food for the winter. The First Master also wants to arrange for us to farm, but farming is not as fast as grabbing food. Not to mention there are women, Jiu Niang!"

A group of well-laden water bandits surrounded the thin second master. The second master looked sad and was not excited about successfully looting other villages.

Suddenly, the faint sound of horse hooves came from the ground. The water bandits were frightened when they heard the familiar sound of horse hooves.

The cavalry is the enemy they least want to face in the wild. They cannot fight or escape, nor can they escape.

The water bandits looked around in panic and saw a cavalry charge on the high ground to the east!

There are fifty people in this cavalry!

Only thirty water bandits, equivalent to light infantry, are no match for fifty cavalry on flat ground!

Hua Mulan's light cavalry arrived immediately, raising their sharp swords high and using the inertia of the cavalry's charge to easily kill the water bandits who tried to resist.

"Don't kill me, don't kill me!"

The second leader of the water bandits directly hugged his head and lay on the ground, his surrender action was extremely standard.

"Take them away and clean up the traces. Don't let the water bandits know their whereabouts, otherwise they will alert the enemy."

Hua Mulan's intelligence is not low, and she acts very cautiously. She led the light cavalry to kill or capture all the water bandits, and then asked the soldiers to erase the traces, especially the horse hoof prints of the light cavalry.

"Who are you? What can you do to let me go?"

The second master of the water bandits was tied up hand and foot with thick ropes by the cavalry. In the cold winter, the thick ropes rubbed against his wrists, causing him to make a grinning sound.

Hua Mulan's tone was cold: "You have caused harm to one side and killed innocent villagers. You should be executed."

"This is what those water bandits forced me to do..." The second master turned pale when he heard that he was going to be killed, "Take me to your lord, he will forgive me for what I did!"

Hua Mulan wanted to kill the captured water bandits now, but her rationality told her that by taking these water bandits back, she could get more useful information.

"Then it depends on whether my lord will let you go."

…

On the evening of the second day when Chu Tian stationed troops in Yunlai Town, when everyone thought that Hua Mulan would not be able to return until the third day, the light cavalry led by Hua Mulan appeared from the fine snow, with their hair, cloaks, and battle armor covered with raindrops.

Snow flakes.

"Hush!"

"Lord Hua Mulan is back, open the town gate!"

Seeing that it was Hua Mulan's cavalry, the defenders of Yunlai Town worked together to push open the cold wooden door.

The water bandits were roughly pulled off their horses by the cavalry and fell heavily to the colder ground. For this group of water bandits, the indignant Xia Town cavalry did not regard them as human beings at all.

"vomit……"

The water bandits couldn't bear the bumps and cold on their horses and couldn't help but vomit.

Hua Mulan's military boots stepped on the head of a water bandit: "They are the water bandits who robbed Xiaoshi Village. Take me to see the lord."

Chu Tian was observing the nearby map and did not take any precautions.

"Lord, General Hua Mulan is back."

"Let her come to see me."

When Hua Mulan appeared, she was accompanied by two light cavalry escorting a water bandit.

This water bandit looks a little haggard and has dark circles under his eyes.

When he saw Chu Tian, ​​he felt like he was seeing a savior. He rushed towards Chu Tian and was subdued by the light cavalry.

"Are you the water bandit leader?"

"No, I am not a water bandit, but I was kidnapped by a water bandit!"

"What the hell is going on?"

Chu Tian looked at the captured water bandit doubtfully. According to Chu Tian's judgment, the other party should be a player.

"My name is Song Jishi. Liangshanbo was originally just the name of my village. Later, a group of water bandits captured my village. The water bandits kidnapped me to join them. My territory became their stronghold and was even upgraded to a first-class town...

…”

"Why didn't they kill you?"

"Because I didn't want to die, I had to make suggestions for them. They were illiterate, so they made me their second master and military advisor. I didn't want to commit murder and arson with them, but my force was not high, and the master always sent water bandits to follow me.

, I couldn’t escape at all. The noise of this group of water bandits was getting louder and louder, and they even used my barracks to recruit soldiers.”

The lord who claimed to be Song Jiji complained to Chu Tianda.

I didn't expect that there would be such an unlucky lord. After the water bandits captured the village, he was turned into a puppet by the water bandits. The water bandit leader could use Song Jiji's territory to continue to grow his power, and even dared to touch the Mi family's fleet.

.

"Come here, serve tea."

Chu Tian couldn't help but sympathize with this unfortunate guy.

Song Jiji was able to drink a cup of hot tea at this time and escaped from the water bandit's den. He couldn't help but burst into tears.

"If you want me to let you go, you have to do one more thing."

Chu Tian did not let Song Jishi off easily, after all, his current identity was a water bandit.

"As long as you let me survive, I will promise you anything."

"Help me eliminate this group of water bandits, and not only will the past be forgotten, but you will also be rewarded with a house."

While Chu Tian was sipping tea, he made a request to the water bandit's dog-headed military advisor in a leisurely manner.

He believed that the other party would definitely agree to his request.

With timely help from Song Dynasty who was familiar with the terrain of "Liangshanbo", the losses would be much less than a forceful attack.

Sure enough, Song Ji nodded like a chicken pecking rice: "There is a trail in the back mountain of Liangshan Mountain. It is the escape route left by the water bandits for themselves. Few people know about it. If a small team can be sent to sneak attack along the trail, it can be easily broken through."

Liangshan Park."

"You can use your own memory to draw a map of Liangshanbo, okay?"

"no problem."

In order to survive, Song Jiji quickly drew a map.

"If the map is wrong, you will die."

"There is absolutely no mistake. I personally built Liangshanbo from a first-class village to a first-class town. I am familiar with every place there."

With Song's timely guarantee, Chu Tian believed it. If there was a mistake, Chu Tian would kill him immediately. Chu Tian must be responsible for the lives of his soldiers.

"Military advisor, what do you think?"

Chu Tian handed the map to Fang Xuanling.

Fang Xuanling glanced at the map: "If you want to make a sneak attack, it's better to attack quickly rather than later. A group of water bandits is missing. When the water bandits react, they will definitely step up their guard."

"It makes sense. Get up early tomorrow and march to Liangshanbo."

After Chutian had Fang Xuanling as his mastermind, he acted more carefully. Fang Xuanling's reminder made Chutian pay attention to the importance of military speed, otherwise the fighting chance will be fleeting.

"You captured an important character this time. What reward do you want?"

Chu Tian found out that Hua Mulan had made a lot of achievements, and Hua Mulan didn't want to spend time taking care of the farmland, so he probably could only continue to increase her salary.

As a county lieutenant, Chu Tian could not confer formal official positions on his generals.

Hua Mulan replied crisply: "This group of water bandits burned, killed, looted, and annihilated them is a matter of course. Mulan does not need any reward."

"Then let's record the credit for this time first, and let's reward him together later."
