Tongyilan Orange Mountains, this is the largest mountain range in the north of Tongyi, with high mountains and dense forests, and difficult roads. Located in the middle of the mountain range, the ravine is the most important artery connecting the northern part of Shudi, but in the process of passing through this artery, the biggest danger encountered is not the difficult road conditions, but from the Gaolan Cottage, the largest group of bandits in the depths of the mountain range.

Gaolan cottage, located in the northwest direction of the column orange mountain range, is an unusually steep peak, the road up the mountain is only a very steep path located in the south of the peak, the other three sides are almost upright cliffs, the top of the mountain is indeed a large piece of flat land, the land is fertile, there are few mountain stones, Gaolan cottage is built here, the end is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Gaolan Cottage was originally the residence of a group of mountain people, ten years ago by a group of bandits, they killed and drove away the mountain people living here, occupied this place as a bandit nest, relying on the geographical convenience, plus many murderers added later, has now developed into a large cottage with nearly 2,000 people.

"Big boss, what are we going to do, Zhang Er Mazi and they have already planted it, it looks like this group of officers and soldiers is coming to us soon, what should we do?" Zhu Datou, the third elder of Gaolan Cottage, said loudly.

At this time, the atmosphere of Gaolan Cottage was slightly tense. As the largest bandit leader in the Lancheng Mountains and even the entire Tongyi area, Yuan Chong, the big boss of Gaolan Cottage, was also gloomy at this time.

Shu is turbulent, although there is a harvest every time you go down the mountain, but the oil and water are not big, as the leader of the cottage, Yuan Chong's life of big fish and meat has never been lacking.

The eyeliner buried under the mountain had spread the news as early as before the workshop army entered the mountain range, but after many years of life as the king of the mountain, he has also gone through many times in the face of the encirclement and suppression of the government, and at the beginning, no matter how many leaders or minions below, no one cared.

Looking at the eyes that looked at him one by one, Yuan Chong became inexplicably irritable, many years of life as an emperor of the soil had already smoothed out the ruthlessness of Yuan Chong when he first went up the mountain, not that he was not ruthless now, but this kind of ruthlessness was more about the people under him.

"What are you arguing about, the big boss is thinking about how to fight them, the third child, you just can't hold your breath, aren't you just a group of officers and soldiers, after so many years, when have we been afraid!" The second Jin Ben said confidently.

"Strategist, what do you think?" Yuan Chong frowned, ignoring the noise in the hall.

"Big boss, I think we should avoid it." The bandit military division, who had not spoken, said softly.

"Huh?" Yuan Chong didn't speak, his brows locked even deeper.

……

The bandits were still noisy, but they didn't know that under the cottage, the workshop army had quietly arrived.

"Sprouts, only the last wave is left, but the bandits here are the most ferocious in Tongyi, we are so moving, the mountain should have gotten the news a long time ago." Shi Hai, who was already the captain, said to Miao Shijie.

"What if you know, sprouts, you can tell us how to fight." Qi Biao, who was born as a bandit, said loudly.

When Danling was caught by Zhao Yuan's men, Qi Biao thought that his life was over, fortunately although he was a bandit, he was not evil, he was locked up for a period of time, and went to the quarry to do hard work for a period of time, and finally was favored by Zhao Yuan and accepted into the workshop guard.

When he first joined the escort team, Qi Biao was very unaccustomed to it, there were rules for everything, eating, sleeping, training, and even following the weak show arranged by the team every day to recognize a few words.

Qi Biao didn't understand it very much, but as time went by, Qi Biao knew the benefits of joining the escort team, although he was born as a bandit, he would still make mistakes and be punished from time to time, but he had long recognized the army he had joined, especially for the leader Zhao Yuan, as for Wan Yunjun, who was nominally the largest in the workshop army, Qi Biao had not seen it.

The workshop army basically has the same idea as Qi Biao, whether it is Miao Shijie or the workshop army as a cooking soldier, Zhao Yuan is extremely respectful, until he joined the workshop army, the adults in the family are working in the cement workshop, and the children are also gathered by Zhao Yuan's teacher to read and write, and the classroom is the best building built in the entire Danling.

"Wait a minute, this Gaolan cottage is easy to defend and difficult to attack, there are many bandits on the mountain, everyone pay attention to the quieter voice, wait for the brothers to arrive, let's discuss the offensive steps." Miao Shijie pressed with both hands.

The biggest difference between the workshop army and other armies in this era is that it is strictly disciplined, although it is only a local army, but its combat effectiveness is definitely the best in this era, which is not unrelated to Zhao Yuan's large investment.

Rigorously trained, small-scale production of armor and weapons made of fine iron, the Workshop Army can be regarded as an iron army.

With the improvement of the literacy rate in the team, the implementation of the order was also very thorough, and when they heard Miao Shijie's order, everyone stopped talking, silently took out the dry food and water they carried, and began to eat to replenish their strength.

"According to the plan, we can go back after this battle." Miao Shijie also had a piece of compressed military ration in his mouth, and thought happily.

"My lord, the brothers have arrived." It didn't take long for all the follow-up troops to arrive.

"Scouts, have you figured out the situation on the mountain?"

"I have figured out that there are two roads up the mountain, the front road is very tightly defended, the attack is slightly more difficult, and the path is on the other side, steep and difficult, this is the map drawn by the brothers, please look at it."

"Let's talk about it, how will this battle be fought?"

……

Everyone looked at the map, thought and discussed, and soon formulated a perfect battle plan, the crushing of weapons and personnel quality, and the assistance of Zhao Yuan's special explosives package for mining stones, Gaolan Cottage was destroyed and moved.

"Phew, we've been cautious for so long, and we're still the first cottage in Tongyi, and there's not much bull." Qi Biao looked at Yuan Chong, who had a dejected face, and said with a laugh.

"Head, how is it better than your cottage?" Qi Biao's brother asked jokingly.

"What are we copycating, Da Niu, your skin is itchy, let's practice hard when we go back."

"Everyone take care of these bandits, pay attention to the inventory of supplies, repair them, and we are ready to go back." Miao Shijie commanded loudly.

"Yes!"

"A big group assembles!"

"The second team assembles!"

……

"My lord, forty-six people were wounded in this battle, one of them was seriously wounded, and no one was killed." After some counting, the results of the battle also came out.

"Medic, do a good job of caring for the wounded, but what about the enemy side?" Miao Shijie nodded and asked.

"The enemy lost 320 dead and seriously wounded more than 30 people, and minor injuries are not counted."

"According to the regulations, let's also be treated, and then the trial will be held when the escort is returned, except for the most heinous crimes, everyone else is the best labor in our workshop."

"Yes, sir."

The absolute disparity in force caused a rare result in this era, escorting prisoners of war and collected materials, the large army slowly marched towards Tongyi County, and the songs of the soldiers rang out.
