The next day, the village was empty, and even near noon, the cries of the thieves could hardly be heard again.

In the past, when it was close to noon, it was also the time when those thieves were about to get up, and at this time, the whole thief village was very noisy, but now it became quiet all of a sudden, and to be honest, Zhao Yu was still a little unnatural.

He inquired about Zhu Wang and asked Zhu Wang about the whereabouts of the bandits.

Zhu Wang touched his chin and explained: "It should be an ambush in the mountains, prepare some traps or something in advance." ”

From the side, Deng Song said with some excitement: "Uncle Leper, that means we don't have to cook for so many people?" ”

Zhu Wang smiled and nodded, then slapped Deng Song on the head and scolded: "Think about it yourself, is this possible?!" ”

As Zhu Wang said, the bandits went to the mountains to ambush, which not only did not reduce the burden on them, but on the contrary, the task was heavier, because they not only had to cook hundreds of people's food as usual, but also had to deliver the food to the bandits.

Fortunately, in extraordinary times, there is no need to provide big fish and meat for those bandits in the room, in order to facilitate the food of the thieves in the mountains, Zhu Wang instructed a few boys to pinch rice balls.

Kneading rice balls, relatively speaking, is indeed the easiest, sprinkle a little salt on a piece of meat, and then wrap it with two handfuls of rice, a pinch, this is done, and it is also simple to carry, with a cloth wrapped on the body.

In view of the rugged mountain road, Ning Niang was left in the room, and the rest carried a bag full of rice balls to the ambush point of the bandits.

At this time, the thieves in the village are basically ambushed on the southwest and southeast sides of the cottage, the people of Chen Mo, the owner of the second village, are on the southwest side, the people of Wang Qing, the master of the third village, are on the southeast side, and Yang Tong, the master of the big village, is leading the subordinates of the descendant to handle the cottage, this layout seems to also faintly carry a little simple art of war.

Because of the location, Zhao Yu and the others took the lead in coming to the area that Chen Mo was responsible for guarding that day, and after Zhu Wang shouted a code similar to a bird's call, two bandits came out from behind a tree not far away and led the way for Zhao Yu and the others.

Originally, Zhao Yu felt a little strange, until a thief warned them: "Be smart, follow us, don't walk blindly by yourself, otherwise you will die in the trap, don't blame me for not reminding you." ”

"Trap?"

Zhao Yu was slightly startled, quite concerned, so on the next journey, he kept an eye on the surroundings, wanting to see where those traps were hidden.

This attention was really seen by him some traces.

But the main thing is the mention of the two bandits.

Along the way, the two bandits pointed out to them the location of the traps along the way from time to time, for example, in a ball of grass, those bandits used bamboo to set traps, once someone rashly stepped on the trap, there would be a bamboo popping out from the side with lightning speed, looking at the bamboo that was full of arm thickness, especially the deliberately sharpened bamboo tip, Zhao Yu had no doubt that this thing could easily pierce a person's body, even if he was wearing leather armor made of cowhide, I am afraid it may not be able to stop it.

This kind of trap that takes advantage of the elasticity of bamboo is like a poisonous snake hidden in the grass, which makes people shudder.

I have to say that this is a little different from the trap imagined by Zhao Yu - his trap is roughly to dig a deep pit and then erect some sharp bamboo thorns inside.

But it turns out that he underestimated these bandits a little, don't look at these people as bandits, but the traps they set are really simple and powerful.

He guessed that some of these bandits must have been born as hunters, otherwise how could they teach other bandits to lay such a simple but powerful trap according to local conditions?

"Keep the location of the trap here in mind!"

The two thieves viciously warned Zhao Yu and the others.

Are they kind?

Well, let's be kind, after all, in their opinion, this group of boys in the room is also their own people, of course, there is another reason: if this group of little cubs who help them boil water, cook rice, and wash clothes on weekdays die, who will help them work?

Because of this, they told Zhao Yu and the others the location of the hidden trap.

Of course, it's not all, it's just the mountain road that Zhao Yu and the others are walking - those bandits forbid them to wander around the neighborhood recently.

A moment later, Zhao Yu and the others came to a wooden house where Chen Mo was.

It was a very small, very narrow wooden house, probably only two zhang in diameter, but interestingly, there was a clearing in front of this wooden house, and beyond that there was a natural cliff, about two or three zhang high from the mountain road below.

Zhao Yu approached the cliff and took a look, he found that he could clearly see the movement under the mountain here, obviously, this wooden house should be similar to a sentry post.

"Finally the food is delivered, and I'm starving to death."

When Zhao Yu and the others transported the food to the ground, several bandits nearby immediately surrounded them, opened the cloth bag and grabbed the rice balls inside to eat, but Chen Mo sat on a stump in front of the wooden house, looking down at a piece of cloth in his hand.

Out of curiosity, he took a closer look, only to find that the piece of cloth in Chen Mo's hand seemed to be the map here, which was clearly marked with twists and turns of the mountain roads, and even on this map, he drew a lot of marks with charcoal, some with forks, some with circles, and I don't know what it means.

It seemed that he had noticed Zhao Yu's peeping, and Chen Mo glanced back at him, so startled that Zhao Yu immediately turned his head away and followed Zhu Wang and Xu Fen away.

I have to say that this Chen Mo's calmness and pre-war preparation made Zhao Yu feel as if he was born with a soldier.

Subsequently, Zhao Yu and the others went back to the cottage and took enough rice balls to Wang Qing, the owner of the three villages.

Wang Qing's side, there are also a lot of traps along the way, but unlike Chen Mo's side, the atmosphere over there is much hotter, when Zhao Yu and others arrived, they saw a group of bandits gathered on the edge of a relatively flat mountain cliff, drinking while patting their chests and bragging, shouting such as 'those Kunyang soldiers dare to come to make them look good', and Wang Qing laughed.

Maybe in the eyes of ordinary people, it seems that Wang Qing has a greater grasp here?

But Zhao Yu still leaned towards Chen Mo, who had a rather dull atmosphere.

After a day or two, the atmosphere in the cottage was quite solemn, and Ning Niang, who was more lively on weekdays, was much more dull than before, and asked Xu Fen and Zhao Yu from time to time, asking if they would be killed by the officers and soldiers of Kunyang.

This little girl, who was just seven years old, was probably frightened.

Can this group of Ying bandits, who are like a plate of loose sand, be able to resist the encirclement and suppression of Kunyang officers and soldiers?

Even Zhao Yu couldn't eat it for sure.

But one thing is certain, if this group of Ying bandits really can't resist those Kunyang soldiers, then he will try his best to give ideas to this group of bandits - this group of bandits is the team he has decided to subdue, how can he let the Kunyang officers and soldiers ruin his plan?

However, after waiting for five days, Zhao Yu did not wait for news from the officers and soldiers of Kunyang.

"Could it be that the news that the officers and soldiers of Kunyang are preparing to encircle and suppress the Ying bandits is just a rumor?"

Zhao Yu was very puzzled.

However, the next day, when he followed Zhu Wang and others to deliver food to the group of bandits who were ambushed in the mountains, he suddenly vaguely heard the sound of killing coming from somewhere.

"Did the officers and soldiers call?"

Even if it was Zhao Yu, it was inevitable that he would be a little nervous at this time.

But at this time, Zhu Wang reached out and put his hand on his shoulder, and said with relief: "Calm down, Huzi, it's not our side." ”

"Not on our side?" Zhao Yu didn't understand.

Under his confused gaze, Zhu Wang turned his head to look to the west, frowned and said, "If I guessed correctly, that direction should be Liu Heimu's gang...... Tsk, that's unlucky. ”

Zhao Yu was stunned, and then he understood.

Only then did he realize that the Ying Mountain thieves that Kunyang County was preparing to crusade against were actually not the only ones with Yang Tong.

Thinking about it, Ying Mountain is so big, how can there be only Yang Tong and his group on the mountain?

After thinking about it again, Zhao Yu understood why Yang Tong and the others did not consider this cottage in the case of the disparity in troops, although there was certainly some self-confidence in it, but I believe that Yang Tong and the others were also lucky, and felt that the Ying bandits who were targeted by the officers and soldiers of Kunyang were not necessarily their gang - why should they be so frightened that they took the initiative to give up their foothold for the sake of an enemy who may not come?

After returning to the cottage, Zhao Yu comforted Ning Niang, who was still uneasy, with these words, and finally reassured the little girl.

However, the good times did not last long, only ten days later, around 24 or 25 March, the officers and men of Kunyang came.

During the period of delivering food to the bandits, Zhao Yu saw with his own eyes that a simple camp was built on the flat ground under the mountain, and a military tent was also set up in the camp.

That Liu Heimu and his gang of bandits, this is destroyed?

You must know that according to Zhu Wang, the number of Ying bandits in Liu Heimu's gang is about the same as that of their Yang Tong gang, with more than 100 people, but in just ten days, this gang of bandits was wiped out?

"I guess I saw that the situation was not good, and I fled."

When everyone talked about it, Zhu Wang touched his chin and guessed.

Zhao Yu is right to think about it, the bandits are not soldiers and guards, how can they continue to fight with the officers and soldiers when they see that the situation is not good? Take the initiative to abandon the cottage and flee into the mountains to hide for a few months, this is the choice of those bandits, as for the things in the cottage, wait for the wind to pass and then go down the mountain to rob it.

This is also the reason why it has been difficult to encircle and suppress bandits since ancient times.

On March 26, when Zhao Yu came out of the house yawning, he suddenly heard a burst of shouts of killing erupt from the bottom of the mountain.

This time the shouting was very close to the ground, probably only a few miles.

His heart was stirring.

The officers and soldiers of Kunyang have attacked the mountain!
