Chapter 67: Suppressing Bandits
A few days later, Su Yi was ready, and before sending troops to suppress the bandits, he began to make military deployments.
At this time, the detailed map of the vicinity of the Black Dragon Village had been hung on the wall behind him.
After looking around, he also drew the sword at his waist, turned sideways slightly, and pointed at a place on the map with the blade of the sword:
"Here, it is where Xue Ba's lair is located, the terrain is more complicated, I am afraid that there are many traps in the forest, if you take a strong attack, it is the next strategy."
As he spoke, he moved his sword downward, and said:
"Here, it is an official road, and according to the existing intelligence of our army, here, here, and here, there are bandit secret posts, once there are business travelers passing through the official road, or there is an abnormality, these secret posts will be the first to ventilate the news."
"And now, the news that our army is going to send troops to suppress the Black Dragon Village has not yet flowed out, so it can be used as a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain."
"What do you mean by ...... general," a general couldn't help but ask.
Su Yi glanced at him and continued to point to the map: "General Li can lead two hundred sergeants, pretend to be a large caravan, escort goods, and pass through here. ”
"And Xue Ba learned that he would not miss such an opportunity, when the mountain bandits gathered down the mountain and plundered the caravan."
"General Wang, lead 2,000 troops, lie in a critical place, wait for the mountain bandits to appear, shoot them to death with arrows, and capture their leader."
"At the same time, General Wei led an elite team to pull out these secret posts."
He pointed a few more points on the map with his sword, and continued:
"At that time, half of the bandits' strength has gone, the nest is empty, and the main force of our army can secretly gather around the cottage and annihilate it in one fell swoop!"
Everywhere he spoke, he would point to the map with the edge of his sword, and the plan between them was clear and coherent, so that everyone could understand it as soon as they heard it.
After speaking, he also looked around again and asked in a condensed voice, "Do you understand?" ”
"Understood!" All the generals answered in unison.
"Ahem...... ahem" Su Yi returned his sword to the sheath, habitually held his right hand and put it under his mouth and coughed, then waved his hand and said, "Let's go!" ”
The next afternoon.
On an official road near Black Dragon Village.
A large caravan of 200 people was escorting dozens of truckloads of goods slowly through.
I don't know if it was accidentally or what's going on, in short, in the process of traveling, a cartload of goods overturned on the ground, the wooden box broke, and a piece of silver suddenly fell and rattled.
"What are you going to eat! Hurry up and pick it up! Fast! ”
The 'caravan steward' began to shout.
The silver in that place was shining in the sun, and this scene happened to be seen by the mountain bandits, and the man's eyes immediately flashed with green light, and in his excitement, he turned around and ran.
As soon as he returned to the cottage, he hurried into the hall and shouted in a trembling voice: "Great boss, there is a caravan!" There's a caravan passing down there! ”
"Oh?" When Xue Ba heard this, he suddenly came to his senses, and before he could speak, the dark whistle had already shouted again: "Silver!" It's all silver! Rich, big boss! ”
"What!?" Hearing this, Xue Ba's eyes widened suddenly, he didn't say a word, and immediately waved his hand again and again: "Quick!" Don't let them run! ”
"The big bosses, they, they have a lot of people." The dark whistle reminded me.
"Humph! Then bring all the brothers! This windfall can't be lost! Xue Ba sneered, lifted the big knife, and walked out of the hall quickly.
"Hurry, hurry! There's a job! Hurry—"
Inside the cottage, the mountain bandits began to assemble rapidly.
They occupied the mountain and robbed the road, and they hadn't encountered a caravan for a long time, so how could Xue Ba miss such an opportunity.
It didn't take long for the bandits to run down the cottage in a swarm, just blocking the way of the caravan, and the number of people gathered more and more.
In this situation, the 'caravan steward' first glanced at his men, and then pretended to be nervous, and exclaimed, "You, who are you!?" ”
"Hahahaha-"
As soon as he saw the caravan, Xue Ba couldn't help but look up and smile.
"Leave your possessions, or you can live, or you will die!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he also waved his hand directly and shouted: "Brothers, give it to me!" ”
As soon as he gave the order, a group of mountain bandits began to howl and scream, and rushed towards the caravan in a swarm.
Seeing this, the caravan didn't say a word, turned around and ran, and dispersed in a hurry.
"Hahahaha-" Seeing this, Xue Ba laughed again, and immediately stopped his subordinates: "Don't chase it, take a look at these goods first." ”
As he spoke, he casually opened a box, but when he looked at it, it was empty.
He was stunned for a moment, then jumped to his feet and scolded: "Damn! Where's the silver! Didn't you say it was all silver! ”
"Big ...... The big boss, here, there is nothing here. ”
Someone else rummaging through the goods began.
"Here, I'm also empty here......"
"What!?" Xue Ba was shocked, at this time, he seemed to realize that it was not good, but it was obviously too late.
Before he could react next, the sound of armor rubbing on the slopes on both sides of the official road was already around.
As if it appeared out of thin air, in an instant, in all directions, there were dense soldiers, and all of them had already drawn their bows and arrows, and they were all aimed at the mountain bandits below.
"Shoot the arrows!" Su Yi was condescending and ordered in a cold voice.
As soon as he gave the order, all the soldiers released their fingers, and the sharp arrows left the strings and poured down, like a rain of arrows, rushing towards their faces.
Plop puff plop!
Under the dense rain of arrows, in just an instant, countless mountain bandits were shot to the ground, letting out a terrible howl.
In such a situation, Xue Ba also panicked, and another mountain bandit leader began to shout loudly: "Oops! There are officers and soldiers in charge! We are in ambush! ”
Does this still need him to say, Xue Ba is not blind, he roared angrily, and while swinging his knife to block the arrows, he also roared: "Withdraw!" Withdraw to the cottage! ”
But at this time, he wanted to leave, how could it be so easy, a group of mountain bandits were killed by random arrows, and immediately panicked, scrambling to start fleeing along the same road.
The chaotic arrows on the hillsides on both sides did not stop, and the mountain bandits ran all the way to death, but not long after they ran out, another army appeared in front, and the soldiers in the front row were even more half-squatting down, and it was another random arrow against the mountain bandits!
Obviously, their retreat was also blocked, Xue Ba saw this and turned around again, but what greeted him was still the same result!
And as he fled left and right, and finally returned to the middle position, at this time, most of the mountain bandits under him had already been killed and wounded, and many people looked at the corpses on the ground, and then looked at the troops slowly approaching on the left and right, and their hearts suddenly despaired.
"Don't let go of the arrows! Don't let the arrows go! We surrender! Surrender! ”
I don't know who shouted first, and then all the mountain bandits threw away their weapons and began to kneel on the ground, shouting in panic: "Surrender!" We surrender ......"
This gang of bandits, let them bully and bully the caravan, plunder the ordinary people, do evil things, they can meet the real army, and the result can be imagined.
Looking at the wailing mountain bandits, the soldiers subconsciously stopped firing their arrows, but Su Yi indifferently ordered: "Kill them all!" ”
Hearing this, his lieutenant couldn't help but swallow his saliva: "General...... General, they have already surrendered......"
"I said, kill them all, not a single one! Need to repeat it again! Su Yi's voice became a little colder.
Seeing this, the adjutant general's heart tightened, and he hurriedly responded in a trembling voice: "Yes...... Yes, the Admiral understands. ”
