Arrows flew out from bushes, big trees, haystacks and other hidden places, killing bandits one by one.
However, the bandits were too close to the net. Zheng Fang, who was hiding in the dark, only fired one round with the veterans, and the bandits were about to rush into the group of female soldiers.
Although the modified hand crossbow can be cocked faster, it still takes a few seconds, and it is already too late.
Zheng Fang could only order to stop shooting, draw his sword, and run towards the battle group.
Although most of the female soldiers have emerged from the net, those newly recruited female soldiers used to be young wives washing and cooking at home. Where have they seen such a scene?
It was fine during the training, but when we really had to fight head-on with the ferocious-looking bandits, everyone was so frightened that they didn't even know what to do while holding the crossbow.
Fortunately, the dozen or so female guards brought over by Qing Mulan had seen blood last time, and they quickly reacted and pulled the triggers on the bandits.
A dozen bandits were shot dead immediately on the opposite side.
But the bandits were already red-blooded and killed more than a dozen, and more bandits rushed forward.
This time, even a dozen female veterans were caught off guard, half of them were still stringing their crossbows.
At this moment, Amei rushed out, the long knife in his hand turned into a curtain of swords, and the four bandits at the front were instantly killed!
"Throw away the crossbow and draw the sword!"
Amei killed two bandits again with one blow, then turned around and shouted: "There are new ones here, don't be dazed, just kill them if you don't want to die!"
Qing Mulan was the first to react, pulled out a long knife and stabbed it into the stomach of the bandit on the other side.
But the bandit also slashed her waist with a knife.
Fortunately, Qing Mulan was wearing armor and blocked the blow, but Qing Mulan also seemed to have been hit with a stick. He was hit by the bandit's knife before he died and fell to the ground.
"Team 3, Miss Protection!"
Mei Lan Zhu Ju was the first maid to follow Qing Mulan and was also her most loyal confidant.
When Ah Ju saw Qing Mulan fall, she immediately led her men to block Qing Mulan behind her.
Perhaps influenced by Qing Mulan and Amei Aju, Xiaoyu screamed, raised the crossbow in his hand, and pulled the trigger at the group of bandits.
She didn't aim at all, but there were too many bandits on the opposite side, so she still shot one bandit to death.
"kill!"
Throw away the crossbow, follow behind Amei, and kill the bandits.
At this time, Zheng Fang arrived with his male soldiers, and the two sides started a hand-to-hand battle.
Hand-to-hand combat is one of the cruelest forms of combat. At this time, veterans, bandits, or female recruits seeing blood for the first time all turned into wild beasts, fighting and biting together wildly.
The veterans who were able to retire from the Tielin Army alive were all experienced in hundreds of battles. Regardless of their fighting qualities or fighting skills, none of them could compare to the bandits.
The most important thing on the battlefield is morale. When morale rises, maybe ten people can kill twenty people.
If there is no morale, a hundred people may be defeated by ten people.
Dangxiang's army once achieved a record of defeating Dakang's 6,000-strong army with 500 men, more than once.
As the fighting continued, more and more bandits died, and the remaining bandits finally began to be afraid, and some began to surrender.
There are only two things like surrender.
In just a few moments, the more than forty bandits who were still alive all squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands.
"Old Zheng, why are you here? When did you come?"
It was only then that Qing Mulan had time to talk to Zheng Fang.
"Now is not the time to talk about this."
Zheng Fang took a breath and began to issue orders: "Monkey, count the battle losses. The first and second teams are on guard, the third team is on duty, the fourth and fifth teams are guarding the prisoners, and the remaining people are treating the wounded."
"yes!"
The veterans immediately began to operate in an orderly manner.
Qing Mulan finally realized the gap between herself and Zheng Fang, and quickly arranged for female soldiers to help clean up the battlefield.
While they were busy, the veteran in charge of security came over and reported that another team had appeared at the foot of the mountain.
"Why is there still more?"
Zheng Fang's expression changed and he asked: "How many people are there?"
"It's too dark to see clearly, but judging from the number of torches, there are quite a few people," the veteran replied.
"Everyone ready to fight!"
Zheng Fang gave an order, and all the veterans cheered up, drew their swords, and prepared for battle.
The female soldiers also took out their crossbows.
"Captain, Mr. Jin is here."
A veteran ran over.
"You go ahead and clean up the battlefield, and I'll go greet Mr."
Zheng Fang gave an explanation and walked towards the mountain pass.
"I am coming too."
Qing Mulan quickly followed with Amei.
When we arrived at the mountain pass, Jin Feng also came.
He was accompanied by an escort and a group of strangers.
The hammer also held a man whose hands were tied.
"Sir, why are you here?"
Zheng Fang asked in surprise: "Who are they?"
"They are looking for doctors from the city and various towns."
Jin Feng said to the group of strangers: "Gentlemen, please go and save people."
"It should!"
The doctors immediately entered the battlefield and began to treat the wounded.
"Have the battle damage statistics been calculated?" Jin Feng asked.
"We just calculated that three female soldiers were killed in battle, four were seriously injured, and most of the remaining ones had minor injuries."
Zheng Fang said: "Six of the male soldiers were seriously injured, and almost all of the rest were slightly injured."
In order to protect the female soldiers, the male soldiers rushed to the front and withstood most of the pressure from the bandits.
If Jin Feng had not always emphasized cooperation in training, it would not have been as simple as six serious injuries.
The three female soldiers who died were all so frightened that they didn't know how to fight back when the bandits rushed to them.
If such a person goes to the battlefield, if he doesn't die this time, he will die next time.
"Three died in battle..."
Jin Feng nodded slightly.
It is normal for people to die in war, and this result is acceptable.
"Sir, I'm sorry, this time I underestimated the enemy too much and fell into the enemy's trick!"
Qing Mulan lowered her head, feeling extremely regretful.
"You did make a mistake. Go back and write a document, reflect on where you made the mistake, and then give it to me after you've written it!"
Jin Feng said coldly.
"Sir, I was also wrong. I didn't find the enemy hiding in the dark. Please punish me, sir!"
The monkey knelt directly on the ground.
"When you go back, write me a document and reflect on it!"
"Sir...I can't read!"
The monkey scratched his head and said.
"Then find someone who can read and tell him to write!"
Jin Feng said: "And Lao Zheng, you can also write one."
"yes!"
Lao Zheng nodded and agreed.
Writing a post-war summary can help generals and soldiers grow quickly through summary and reflection.
Jin Feng decided to apply this method to Qing Mulan and Veteran.
"Sir, the bandits were very well prepared this time. They dug a big hole first, and then led us to jump in step by step. The plan was too thorough."
Zheng Fang said: "The bandits don't have the brains. There must be someone behind the scenes. This person must be found."
