Three days later, the so-called "Hundred Ethnic Alliance" will be born, and the time is already very short. Li Luo immediately instructed Yan Ying to notify the convening of the meeting.

Nearly 100 people above the director of the company, the head of each village, and the head of the security team gathered in the hall.

"I've seen the owner!" The sensible Lin Biju saw that everyone was coming, and he took the lead in meeting him.

"Meet the owner!" The others bowed down in unison.

Lin Biju was a talented person in the examination, and he was a master, of course he was a smart person. Now that there are many immigrants in Haidong, they are thriving, and Li Luo is so prestigious, and he has all the power in his hands.

It is estimated that it will be a matter of time before this overseas becomes king. It's better to let everyone get used to the "monarch etiquette" as early as possible. "Well.

Li Luo sat condescendingly in the middle of the head, Cui Xiuning sat next to him, and below were nearly a hundred "civil and military officials" who bowed down.

"Zeng Du, you first tell everyone about the movements of this life." Li Luo set the tone of the conference for the first time.

Everyone knows Zeng Du, this person has been in the Shengfan tribe for 20 years, and he is very familiar with the internal situation of Shengfan. After escaping from the mountains, he was appointed by his wife as an "assistant to the minister", and it is said that he was very trusted by his wife.

"Yes, Master!" Zeng Du gave Li Luo a salute and faced everyone: "I just got the news from the informant in the mountains today, on September 1, there are more than 60 patriarchs and family elders who will hold a meeting of the hundred clans in Tuoduo Mountain. All they want to do is to twist into a rope and work together against us. ”

"The various tribes of Shengfan were originally enemies of each other, and it was difficult to stir them into one pot. But now, they're scared. They believe that the god of the mountains has been insulted by us, and that they must abandon their old suspicions and unite to exterminate the overseas Han people. ”

"These more than 60 tribes, with a population of more than 100,000, can dispatch 40,000 or 50,000 strong men......"

What the? Forty or fifty thousand strong men?

Of course, the generals of the security regiment were unmoved, while the "civilian officials" all looked solemn and could not help but become worried.

Forty or fifty thousand soldiers!

Today, there are only about 13,000 men, women, and children in the entire resettlement area. The difference between the soldiers and horses on both sides is more than ten times.

Even if the security regiment can fight again, as long as Shengfan divides his troops into many ways and does not confront the Haidong army head-on, but kills and plunders everywhere, how can he live?

Zeng Du continued: "Originally, there were three major tribes in Shengfan, and the chieftain was known as the three kings. The last time the Yuyu clan came to attack, he was completely wiped out by the army led by his wife, and the king of Yuyu was also beheaded by his wife's order. However, there are still two kings of life. This time, it was the two of them who led the alliance. ”

"They plan to divide their troops into five routes, two of which will contend with our Haidong army, and the other three will scatter and kill the villages in the rear."

"The day they send their troops, within five days of the convening of the Hundred Tribes Assembly."

Zeng Du said this, and opened another map, "Everyone, please see, this is the address chosen by the Hundred Ethnic Alliance, Tuoduo Mountain." It is almost more than 120 miles away from the mountain, and it is all rugged and difficult mountain roads, and there are swamps and miasma in many places, and it is very dangerous to go deep alone......"

After Zeng Du finished speaking, he saluted Li Luo's "couple" again and returned to his position.

Many people frowned after listening to the briefing. This battle is too difficult to fight.

The last time the owner of the society personally went into the mountains to suppress it, he just led hundreds of people to exterminate a tribe, and it was only a few dozen miles into the mountains.

And this time, he will lead thousands of people to go deeper into the mountains for more than 100 miles...... The stakes are just too great. Not to mention anything else, just talking about this miasma snake and insect is a headache.

But if the Shengfan army is allowed to take the initiative to go out of the mountain, and the soldiers come in five ways, although they can wait for work, but the risk is greater. Because there are so many raw fans, it's impossible to prevent it. As long as there is a kill all the way to the rear, it is a huge loss.

Li Luo said: "You all talk about it, how should this battle be fought?" ”

Everyone talked about it, and people kept coming out to speak, and finally returned to the plan that Cui Xiuning had set some time ago: the beheading operation.

Only led the most elite thousand-person clan, quietly infiltrated, attacked Tuoduo Mountain on the day of the Shengban Conference, and killed all the stalwarts of the chiefs and clans who came to participate in the alliance.

In this way, dozens of Shengfan tribes will fall into a situation where the dragons are leaderless, and the alliance of the hundred clans will be self-defeating. Then, start the key encirclement and suppression, and clean up one by one. After waiting for the loss of the large number of Ding in Shengfan, he finally encircled and suppressed it with great fanfare, completely dominating the mountains and seas.

No matter how many soldiers and horses there are, it will also need to be after the alliance meeting is completed to form a coalition army. Until then, of course, they were still in disarray. Therefore, on September 1, there will not be too many troops in Tuoduo Mountain, which is just conducive to the implementation of the beheading plan.

A team of 1,000 people, the target is not too big, much more hidden than a few thousand people dispatched together. Even in the unlikely event of total annihilation, the losses will be limited.

In the end, Li Luo decided to select 800 people from the security regiment and the escort Xiangyong he brought, and temporarily set up a "beheading team", which was led by Hu Gu, Yang Xu, Zhu Jie, and Zhang Yong, with Zeng Du as the guide.

Equip all light leather armor and Divine Arm Bows to the "Decapitation Clan". According to intelligence, Tuoduo Mountain is not a cottage, but a "sacrificial mountain" that worships the mountain god, so there is no need to carry a weapon to attack the fortification.

The members of the decapitation team are all elite soldiers. Even if the "beheading" fails, Shengban has no ability to keep them.

On August 29, the decapitation team was established, all the members were in place, and several soldiers were also equipped with various medicines such as Artemisia annua and Coptis chinensis.

Early in the morning of 30 August, at the camp of the security regiment, four generals and a beheading team of 800 people were already waiting on the school grounds, waiting for Li Luo's order to set off.

Each of them wore leather armor, carried water bladders, bows and knives, and many of them carried bows.

According to the plan, they entered the mountain in the morning, walked sixty or seventy miles of mountain roads by dusk, and then camped in the mountains and forests to repair. In the early morning of the second day, when we drove another forty or fifty miles to the top of the mountain, we first rested in the mountains and forests for an hour, and in the afternoon we had to launch an attack on the mountain.

Such an arrangement can not only maximize concealment, but also not too tired.

The route and map are all planned. Zeng Du chose the most hidden mountain road, and Cui Xiuning set down where to camp, where to rest, and where to ambush.

Of course, Li Luo also emphasized that the plan is not as good as a change, and once necessary, the four generals can change it on the spot.

Although Li Luo and Cui Xiuning did not lead the team to go to the dangerous place in person, they still wore a brand new armor when they sent the beheading team out. Their Xuan armor was specially customized for the two of them by Gu Kai before, and compared with other Xuan armor, it was not only more fitting, but also more luxurious.

Cui Xiuning's Xuanjia is also obviously different from the men's armor.

"The beheading team has been assembled, please show it to the camp master!" Hu Gu came out and bowed down.

Li Luo didn't have so much nonsense to say, anyway, all kinds of plans and contingency plans had been discussed. He waved his hand: "Let's go!" ”

"No!"

The four generals were immediately divided into three groups, and Zhang Yong and Zeng Du led a hundred people first, which can be regarded as a vanguard detachment to explore the way. Yang Xu and Hu Gu personally led five hundred main forces to keep a distance and follow up.

Zhu Hao led two hundred people to the rear of the palace, and responded to the front at any time.

Many people spontaneously sent off the beheading team. Everyone knows that this time of fighting in the mountains, there will definitely be people who will never come back.

Li Luo looked at the back of the decapitated team leaving, and there were tears in his eyes.

Back then, when Wuhou went on an expedition to the south, how many men in Shu did not die under the Nanban sword, but fell between the poor mountains and bad waters.

Decapitating the team, it is estimated that many people will stay in the mountains forever.

Cui Xiuning retracted his gaze for a long time and asked, "How many people do you think will be lost this time?" ”

Li Luo shook his head, "I don't know, if you only lose a few people, it will be great luck." ”

Cui Xiuning said: "Tomorrow afternoon, I will personally go into the mountain to pick up, and I will go too." ”

"I'll bring someone to answer tomorrow, so you don't have to go." Li Luo objected, "Haidong's mess still needs someone to catch the boss." ”

According to the plan, on the second day after the decapitation team set off, Li Luo personally led a large group of men and horses into the mountain to respond, so as to make sure that everything was prepared.

…………

In the afternoon, the vanguard of the beheaded team had already entered the mountains forty miles. Many veterans are a little emotional, they have been here a few months ago when they exterminated the Mao Blood Clan.

On the hill not far away, there is a dilapidated and desolate Maoxue cottage.

Zeng Du was the guide, and while he arranged to leave marks along the way, he told everyone to be careful of poisonous snakes and poisonous insects. Although he has leather armor, he can still be bitten on his face and hands.

The five hundred main forces behind them kept a distance of several miles from the vanguard detachment, and they could respond to each other at any time.

After walking more than ten miles of paths, Zeng Du became a little nervous, and he told Zhang Yong, who led the team, that the valley in front of him was the only way to go, and there were many poisonous snakes and poisonous insects in it, which was a snake valley.
