The terrain in the White Tiger Mountain is quite dangerous, and there are dense forests everywhere, even if a strong man has nothing in his hand, it will take two days to travel through the mountain, not to mention that these soldiers in Jinling City also have to carry dry food and war blades with them.

In this way, the speed is not fast at all.

However, there is also the advantage of not being able to go fast, that is to have enough time to operate and develop mountain and forest tactics.

Of course, the disadvantages are also relative.

The mountains and forests in ancient times were far from being safer than those in later generations, and there were many poisonous snakes and beasts, which were more than modern people could imagine.

On the third day of entering Baihu Mountain, a fierce South China tiger attacked a tent in the middle of the night.

The tiger was extremely ferocious, not counting the injuries of a few soldiers, and dragged away a soldier in the elite of Danyang, although he was caught up and killed by Xu Chu and the elite of the Tiger Guard Army afterwards, but the soldier who was dragged away had been eaten by the tiger beyond recognition, and he saw how terrifying it was.

The potter watched the remains of the Danyang soldier being dug up and buried by the sergeants, and an inexplicable sadness rose in his heart.

In this era, man has to fight not only with man, but also with heaven and nature.

The fact that a beast of prey can threaten the safety of people is something that the potters could not feel at all in later generations.

Xu Chu peeled off the tiger's tiger skin whole, and he sent it to the potter with a smile.

Tiger skins are treasures in later lives, and they are even more coveted treasures in previous lives.

As soon as he thought of the soldier's flesh and bones gnawed by the tiger, the potter felt sick to his stomach, he didn't ask for this tiger skin, and let Xu Chu dispose of it himself.

"There is such a danger in the mountains and forests, Yan Baihu can still gather people to roar among the mountains and forests...... Those who followed him would rather be eaten by wild beasts than be good citizens. Figure 1: What? Looking at the tiger skin in Xu Chu's hand, the potter asked the question in his heart.

Li Tong stood behind the potter merchant and said: "In fact, the fundamental reason is that the grain is troublesome, the land south of the Yangtze River is full of hundreds of Yue, and there are many mountain people, in addition to a number of big cities and county seats, the land that can be reclaimed for grain is really too little, and most of the land that has production is still in the hands of the scholars in the south of the Yangtze River, and the common people can't eat, so they would rather go into the mountains to rebel, even if it is dangerous, but it can be regarded as having a glimmer of life." ”

Hearing this, the potter nodded and said with emotion: "In the final analysis, it is still the food trouble. ”

Li Tong stared at the pottery merchant tightly, and said: "Tao Fujun in Jinling City to develop rice fields, it is said that in recent years, the land reclamation area and harvest of Jinling City, compared with the original, doubled, and there is Jiangdong plough to develop wasteland, if there is a Fujun in charge of the entire Jiangnan, the method of planting grain and reclaiming land in Jinling City is widely promoted, ten years later, the reclaimed fertile soil in the south of the Yangtze River can recruit the world's displaced people, increase the population, and once there is more land, it can dilute the rights in the hands of the Jiangnan Shi people, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone. ”

The potter understood what Li meant on the call, and he also praised his frankness.

There are many fewer scholars in the south of the Yangtze River than in the north, but to a certain extent, they are more difficult to deal with than the scholars in the north.

After all, the fundamental reason is that the development of Jiangnan is not good, there is not much land that can be produced, and there is not much land that can be produced, so it is easy for the scholars who own the land to have the right to speak politically.

However, once the land that can be produced in Jiangnan increases substantially, reducing the proportion of land in the hands of those scholars, a series of chain reactions will naturally weaken the voice of the scholars.

The root cause is to dilute the equity of the existing major shareholders with the company's large capital recruitment.

With the current reclamation and farming capabilities of Jinling City, it is not impossible to do this.

The area south of the Yangtze River is already larger than that of the Central Plains, and if it is fortunate enough to be able to get grafted rice in the future, or to get Champa rice from the scholars of Jiaozhi, it is not impossible for the south to enter the stage of revolutionary development.

After all, the land south of the Yangtze River is still a treasure land for in-depth excavation.

However, these are all later words, and the first priority at the moment is to expand the territory and stabilize the rear.

……

……

A few days later, a group of soldiers and horses arrived at the location of Yan Baihu Dazhai.

However, to the surprise of the potter, Yan Baihu lived in the village, which really opened his eyes, this primitive cottage built in the mountains, highlighting the great wisdom of the outstanding people of the Chinese nation.

On a low mountain, the White Tiger Village of Yan Baihu's army was placed, and a pit under the mountain was actually reclaimed by Yan Baihu Part of the land, and grain was planted on the reclaimed land.

The streams of the mountain streams were also reclaimed and transformed by Yan Baihu with sand, soil, boulders and other objects.

The people of Baihuzhai diverted part of the water source to irrigate the cultivated fields, so that they could ensure their own food supply in the mountains to a certain extent.

In this way, even if you can't get food when you go out to rob, you can be self-sufficient for a while.

There was a sentry outside the main village of Baihu Village, and when the army of the potters arrived, the people in the sentry quickly withdrew to the main village and reported to the main village.

In this way, it may not be long before a large number of people from White Tiger Village will appear, and a big war will break out between the two sides.

But after waiting for a long time, Yan Baihu didn't see Yan Baihu open the gate of the village to fight with him, and the potter couldn't help but feel very strange.

This time, when they entered the mountains and forests, the number of people who crusaded against Yan Baihu was about 5,000, but compared with the 10,000 people in Yan Baihu Village, it was still half less.

Of course, the potters were confident that with the Danyang elite soldiers and the Tiger Guards, even if there were only 5,000 people, they would never be their opponents when they had to deal with the 10,000 mountain soldiers under Yan Baihu who were like savages.

Question: The potter himself has confidence in his own soldiers, and Yan Baihu is also so confident in the soldiers of Jinling City?

The soldiers and horses of Jinling City were forced to the door of Baihu Village to prepare to kill him, and Yan Baihu didn't even show his face?

This King of Eastern Wu De is a little too much water.

It's good. Since the other party guards the gate and does not show up, then he will take the initiative to attack!

Before the battle, the pottery merchant led Li Tong, Tao Ji, Tao Ying and others to observe the terrain of Baihu Village.

The location of the White Tiger Village is located in the mountains, and it happens to be blocked by the surrounding mountains and dense forests, if it is not explored in advance, with the secrecy here, the potter will not be able to find out that there is a big village here even two or three miles away.

In addition, this White Tiger Village is built in a valley among the mountains, the other three sides are steep mountains, can not walk at all, only the terrain in the south is relatively flat, along the flat terrain, and then go to the west, is the mountain fields that supply the grain of the White Tiger Village.

However, the flatness in front of the White Tiger Village is only compared to those steep mountains, in fact, the south of the main village is still a high mountain, but the terrain is slightly gentle, to some extent, its terrain can be regarded as a small hill in the mountains. The hills are concave in shape, with high terrain and dense forests on both sides, and flat ones in the middle with a small path.

The gate of Baihu Village is the end of the flat passage road built in the middle of this hill.

The gate is based on stone, the thick wood is the wall, about more than zhang high, and a large number of figures can obviously be seen walking on the wall.

"Big brother, if you want to attack the White Tiger Village, you can only enter from here!" Tao Ying pointed to the narrow road in front of the White Tiger Village.

Tao Ying rarely took the initiative to admonish the potter, although what he said was very unnutritious.

"Big brother, according to the younger brother, the other directions here are either high mountains or dense forests, and there is no way for soldiers and horses to pass through!"

Tao Ji was on the side, rolling his eyes...... This younger brother is really a talent, and anyone can see this truth as long as they are not blind.

The pottery merchant praised Tao Ying and said: "The second brother really has good eyesight, what you said is not bad at all, and there is progress." ”

Everyone can see at this moment that the terrain of White Tiger Village is very conducive to defense.

Yan Baihu must have spent a lot of effort in order to establish this big village.

However, although this place is hidden and easy to defend and difficult to attack, it also means that as long as the soldiers and horses of the pottery merchants lead people to block here, those people in the White Tiger Village can't run if they want to, even if it is the harvest in those mountain fields, they can't take it.

However, the 5,000 soldiers of the potters entered the mountain, and they did not carry any heavy bags with them, and if they were blindly blocked here, it was not a good strategy.

We still have to find a way to break the impasse in front of us.

The potter turned his head, looked at the people who were following him, and said, "The White Tiger Village is ahead, do you have a good strategy for entering the army?" ”

Xu Chu immediately said: "A certain family is willing to lead the soldiers of the Tiger Guard Army to attack the village directly and take the head of Yan Baihu in one fell swoop!" ”

Listening to Xu Chu's words, the potter did not answer, but turned his head to look at Li Tong and Tao Ji.

Li Tong looked at the White Tiger Village and said calmly: "The road in front of the White Tiger Village is a little narrow, and I am afraid that thousands of soldiers and horses will not be able to use it, and they will attack forcibly, but I am afraid that it will be disadvantageous to our army." ”

The potter nodded in agreement.

Li Tong is right, the White Tiger Village is easy to defend and difficult to attack, mainly because the open area in front of their village gate is too narrow, according to estimates, at most, dozens of people can be allowed to do something there...... If the two thousand tiger guards rushed forward, let alone breaking through the gate of the White Tiger Village, they would have to squeeze themselves to death first.

Just when everyone was discussing a good strategy, Tao Ying suddenly said: "Big brother, brother, I have a strategy to break the enemy!" ”

After saying a word, everyone present was stunned except for Li Tong.

He, has a good plan?
