Actual combat can best train the team and the generals.
In recent months, Tieniu has been on an expedition, killing all the bandits who dared to provoke the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau.
The Second Battalion was the battalion with the highest casualty rate before the attack on Jiangnan, and it was also the battalion that grew the fastest.
The Second Battalion accounted for a large part of the escorts Jin Feng brought to Xichuan this time.
Zhang Liang formed a black-armored team, and more than half of its members were from the Second Battalion.
Tieniu is no longer the stupid, stupid guy he was before, but has been tempered into a qualified general.
In addition to his ruthless tactics, Tieniu also became more careful.
There was obviously someone behind this bandit attack.
On the way here, Tieniu had been on high alert and sent out all the scouts to explore the road ahead, for fear of being ambushed by the enemy.
But until we got to the outside of the Double Hump, we didn't even see the shadow of the enemy.
This made Tieniu feel a little uneasy, and he also doubted whether he had thought wrong before.
Is there no one planning it, just bandits coming to take revenge?
After all, since the establishment of the Zhenyuan Escort Agency, too many bandits have been offended.
The thousands of people digging coal in Heishui ditch are all captured bandits.
But now that we are here, we have to fight no matter what.
Thinking of this, Tieniu's eyes became fierce, and he turned around and shouted: "Second row, three rows of armor-piercing, others on alert!"
"yes!"
The escorts agreed and took action immediately.
The elites selected in advance began to pierce the armor, while the remaining people raised their crossbows and pointed them around.
Taking advantage of this time, Tieniu called his company commander and platoon commander together and held a small pre-war meeting.
"I feel something is not quite right. When the fight starts, if everything goes well, we will follow the original plan and try to kill as many enemies as we can!"
Tieniu reminded: "If the enemy is deceitful, don't be reluctant to fight, and immediately lead people to join the two humps. Do you understand?"
He still felt something was wrong, so he reminded me again.
Otherwise, when a fight breaks out, the situation will be very chaotic. He is afraid that something will go wrong and he will not be able to retreat in time.
"Understood!" The company commander and platoon commanders nodded.
More than a hundred of them dared to come, and the double hump was their confidence.
If you can beat them, fight them. If you can't beat them, you can retreat to the Double Hump.
After the second and third rows put on their black armor, they formed a fighting formation and walked out of the mountain road.
In the open space at the foot of Double Camelback Mountain, the bandits not only did not escape, but gathered together according to the top of the mountain and formed several loose square formations, ready for battle.
The powerful people really spent money this time. Master Chen always brought boxes of cash with him when he went to seduce the bandits.
These bandits were not from Guangyuan, but their base was on Zhang Liang's way back. Hearing that Zhang Liang was suppressing bandits along the way, he was already afraid, and with the stimulation of money, Master Chen easily defeated them.
When they arrived at Shuang Hump, Master Chen did not let them attack by force. Instead, he let them rob the merchants who came to bring salt.
Ever since Jin Feng suppressed the bandits, the public security in Jinchuan has improved a lot. There are basically no bandits cutting and robbing roads, and vendors no longer hire too many guards.
Even the Jinchuan Chamber of Commerce has reduced the number of escorts.
Now a group of bandits suddenly appeared, and the vendors were immediately caught off guard.
Not only were property robbed, but many people were also killed by bandits.
The Jinchuan Chamber of Commerce's caravan was also robbed. A squad of people responsible for protecting the caravan were all killed because they were outnumbered.
The success in the first battle made the bandits feel that the Zhenyuan Escort Agency was not worthy of its name, and believed that the reputation of the Zhenyuan Escort Agency was all exaggerated, and in fact it was not that powerful at all.
So after being informed by Master Chen that more than a hundred bodyguards were coming to reinforce Shuang Hump, the bandits not only were not afraid, but became excited.
"Brothers, if you kill an escort, you will be rewarded with one tael of silver, a squad leader will be rewarded with three taels, a platoon leader will be rewarded with five taels, and a company commander will be rewarded with ten taels!"
The bandit masters encouraged their men one after another: "We have more than 600 people, and they only have more than 100 people. If we are slow to strike, there will be no chance!"
Master Chen has brought too much money. If he kills any bodyguards and Jinchuan Chamber of Commerce guys, he can use their tooth tags to exchange for money.
After the last battle, the people sent by Master Chen fulfilled their promise on the spot.
This makes the bandits look at the escort as if they were looking at money.
Without waiting for the escort to approach, he rushed towards the escort.
I was afraid that if I ran too slowly, the escort would be killed by others to collect the reward.
Then, they saw the true combat effectiveness of Zhenyuan Escort Agency.
The escorts they killed before were only one class, and before they had time to form a battle formation, they were divided by the bandits and defeated one by one.
Now that they are in an organized battle formation, and with indestructible black armor, the coordination that the bodyguards have developed over a long period of time is fully displayed.
The behavior of the bandits was like flying moths to a flame, rushing towards them and killing them one by one.
Soon there were corpses lying on the ground in front of the escort phalanx.
Even so, the number of bandits, stimulated by money, is still increasing.
At this moment, the escorts took out grenades.
Even the battle-hardened plateau cavalry were frightened by the power of grenades, let alone a ragtag group of people?
The bandits who were so aggressive just now were so frightened that they almost peed their pants and ran away one by one.
But by this time it was too late to escape. The platoon leader of the escorts responsible for guarding the Double Hump had already received a message from Fei Ge and gathered all the escorts who were taking a break.
Seeing that the bandits were trying to escape, they immediately led their men to kill them down from the mountain and blocked the bandits' retreat with heavy crossbows.
There is no terrain advantage at the foot of the mountain. At this time, the number of bandits still has an absolute advantage. If they unite, they can definitely break through.
But their courage has been broken, and they are not from the same mountain, so it is impossible for them to unite.
Hundreds of bandits were stopped by dozens of escorts!
The news that the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau would not kill prisoners had already spread throughout the world.
When the bandits saw that they couldn't run away and didn't know who was leading them, they threw their weapons to the ground one after another, squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands, and allowed the bodyguards to tie them up.
Of course, Tieniu didn't need to do such a small thing. He held a single-channel telescope and looked around bit by bit.
"Battal Commander, I said they were a mob, and you still scolded me. Now it seems that you are just scaring yourself!"
After the battle was won, a company commander who had a good relationship with Tieniu was in a good mood and ran up to bump Tieniu's shoulder.
In fact, Tieniu still had some doubts in his heart, but the facts were in front of him, and the bandits did not have any traps.
Tieniu put away the telescope and said: "It is always right to be careful."
"Yes, what the battalion commander said makes sense." The company commander nodded, and then asked: "What should we do with these people? Send them to Heishuigou?"
"What are you sending to Heishuigou for?"
Tieniu's eyes were cold, and his words were even colder: "Interrogate first, then hang them all after questioning!"
"Hang them all?!" The company commander was startled: "Sir, you said you can't kill prisoners. Isn't this inappropriate?"
