Chapter 106: Raid Plan for Chinese New Year's Eve

But then again, there is a mistake, Jin San's plan seems pitiful, but in fact, it may be a blessing in disguise and saved one of his own lives.

The reason is very simple, people's hearts are unpredictable, and not all officials are good people.

If you offer an intelligence plan, people may accept it with a smile on the front foot and make a big promise to you, and when the matter is done, the back foot will put you on the charge of being a bandit and treat you as an accomplice, and you have not yet cried out for injustice, because you are indeed carrying this crime.

Some people may want to ask, why did the official army treat Jin San like this, two words.

Grab the credit.

There are insiders who report the news, and with the cooperation of the internal response, the government broke through the cottage; After the unremitting reconnaissance of the scouts, the army of bandits found a loophole in the enemy's defense, and under the surprise attack, they broke through the cottage in one fell swoop.

Can these two credits be the same?

Of course, some generals don't care, as long as they can fight and make meritorious contributions, they can do anything, and they don't care about the point of surrender to this one.

But there are generous generals, there are generals with small bellies, in order to expand the results of the battle, there are not a few people who kill good and take credit, in order to write a good-looking and beautiful war report, what is it to kill two people who surrender to Cheng.

Not to mention that Jin San, a wall grass with a lot of black material underneath, doesn't have to work hard, and it is estimated that there is no one to intercede to kill him.

In comparison, giving the information to Yan Kui, although the credit is less, but Yan Kui cares about Jin San's dedication to the two snake yang vine planting land, not to mention taking care of him more, at least protecting him thoroughly, and by the way, he can also wash away Jin San's crime of banditry.

……………

After so much gossip, what kind of intelligence strategy did Jin San give Yan Kui.

Here's the thing, the White Snake Valley is called the valley, but Shekyu's cottage base camp is not actually a valley, but a mountain, which is steep from the mountainside to the top, and only a serpentine mountain path can lead to the top.

At the beginning, She Gui also saw the precipitous image of this mountain, so he occupied it and set up camp here.

In fact, the original name of this mountain was called Panlong Mountain, and there was also a name called Nine Turntable Mountain, and later after She Gui occupied this mountain, he built a special snake breeding place on it, and also changed the name of the mountain, turning Panlong into the white snake he relied on to become famous.

At first, it was called White Snake Mountain, and then She Gui felt that it was not good, so it was changed to White Snake Valley, in fact, in addition to grain and rice, there was no terrain related to the valley up and down the White Snake Valley.

However, She Guifei called it so, and the bandits under him naturally didn't dare to come against him, so they all followed suit, and the names left behind by going out to rob and kidnapping tickets were also White Snake Valley.

In this way, slowly everyone forgot the original name of Panlong Mountain, and only knew this thief mountain with the name of "Valley".

So as mentioned earlier, there is only one snake mountain road on the way up the mountain in this White Snake Valley, surrounded by steep cliffs, which can be called easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is impregnable.

In the past, the officers and soldiers suppressed bandits several times, but they were blocked in this mountain road, and it was difficult to achieve results, so they had to hate and retreat.

And after She Gui tasted the sweetness of the mountain road, he greatly strengthened the defense of this mountain road, and today, She Gui has set up a total of 12 checkpoints in this snake mountain road, which is heavily guarded by layers.

Even if the official army comes to attack, they have taken great pains to capture a checkpoint, and there are eleven more roads behind, and the later the checkpoint defense is more and more solid, the more troops are garrisoned, and the terrain is more precipitous.

……………

Yan Kui had seen the casualty budget of the Fucheng for attacking the White Snake Valley before, if tens of thousands of soldiers attacked these twelve checkpoints at any cost, if it went well, the casualties would probably be more than 3,000 people.

This is only the casualties of these twelve checkpoints, and the White Snake Valley will have to invest troops to attack at that time.

Of course, if all these twelve checkpoints are taken, it is estimated that She Gui will not have many troops to resist the official army.

Speaking of which, among the three major bandits in Tong'an, from the comparison of terrain alone, it is relatively simple to belong to the Black Wind Ridge, although the Black Wind Ridge is also a top dangerous mountain in Qingyuan, but compared to the White Snake Valley, the snake mountain road, it is obviously much more friendly to the officials and soldiers.

As for the first line of heaven known as the first strange mountain in Tong'an, it is not that the army of bandits is arrogant.

Storm?

Another 20,000 troops may not be able to take it down.

Yan Kui even heard that the bottom line of the Ministry of War on this crackdown on bandits was that Heifengling and White Snake Valley must be exterminated, and if the first line of heaven really can't be taken, Zhao'an can be implemented.

can force that group of high-ranking military masters to make such concessions, it can be seen that it is difficult to attack the first line of heaven, that place, it is really a master, and it is impossible to open it.

And then again, in the White Snake Valley, although the imperial court was able to storm the White Snake Valley regardless of the cost, it was not cost-effective to take a bandit den with thousands of casualties, so this is also the reason why the imperial court was forced to withdraw its troops several times before.

But this time is different, Heifengling was wiped out by Yan Kui, and it is extremely difficult to attack the first-line sky, so the main target of the bandit army is the White Snake Valley, and it is bound to be taken, otherwise the army will be dispatched, and the results are not as good as Yan Kui's militia group, where is the face of Hong Guangbing, who is the main general.

…………

However, this time, General Hong's plan may be frustrated again, because Yan Kui learned from Jin Sankou that in this White Snake Valley, there is not only one snake mountain road that can go up the mountain.

There is an inconspicuous forest in the southeast of the White Snake Valley, the woods are close to a steep cliff, if you climb this cliff as high as 20 zhang, you will find an extremely narrow path, along this path, you can go straight to the back of the summit of the White Snake Valley.

This secret trail was learned by Jin San from an old hunter, Jin San had secretly sent a master to test the method of climbing over a steep cliff up the mountain, although the safety success rate was not high, but it was indeed an offensive route to avoid the snake mountain road and surprise attack the White Snake Valley village.

Of course, this method is feasible, but it has great flaws.

For example, the cliff that is 20 zhang high is not something that ordinary soldiers can climb up, and it must be an elite in the army with a certain martial arts foundation to be competent for such a surprise mission.

Not to mention, according to Jin San's description, the path on the cliff was connected to the back of the top of the White Snake Valley, Yan Kui didn't believe that with She Gui's prudence, he would not fortify behind the cottage, and the troops sent to raid would probably be surrounded immediately once discovered.

And more importantly, even if a small group of raiding troops successfully entered the interior of the White Snake Valley, unless they killed She Gui and made a decapitation operation, they would not be able to cause effective damage to the White Snake Valley at all.

It is definitely impossible to cooperate with the outside like the last time in the Black Wind Ridge, not to mention that She Gui must be more prepared in comparison, there are still twelve checkpoints in the way of the Snake Mountain Road, and it is impossible for the main force of the official army to attack in a short time.

It is estimated that the official army broke through the five levels outside, and when they were attacking the sixth level, the raid team had already died under the siege of She Gui.

………

Because of this, Yan Kui didn't feel too excited about this secret path when he first came up, and the flaws were too big to be suitable for specific operations.

Just when he was about to reject Jin San, a sentence immediately after Jin San directly changed Yan Kui's mind and made him overjoyed.

Jin San said that he knew where the granary of the White Snake Valley was.

This is not called pie in the sky, what is pie in the sky, Yan Kui's mouth is about to grin to the back of his head.

Yes, Yan Kui didn't think about letting the raiding troops burn the grain and grass in the White Snake Valley before, which would be more effective than slaughtering She Gui, but this was easier said than done.

But anyone who uses soldiers knows that grain and grass are the top priority, in Yan Kui's expectation, She Gui, as the owner of the village, will definitely divide the granary of the White Snake Valley and hide it in the secret place of the cottage, the raid team is not familiar with the terrain, and the eyes of the cottage are black, where to burn the grain.

So this strategy had been deleted before it had risen from Yan Kui's mind, but Yan Kui never expected that She Gui, a foolish critic, would tell Jin San such an important secret as where the cottage granary was hidden.

Moreover, the most important thing is that, according to Jin San, only two granaries were built in the White Snake Valley cottage.

What does this mean?

On behalf of Yan Kui, he can send a raid team to quietly kill the interior of the White Snake Valley and burn down the two granaries, as long as the granaries are burned, a group of bandits with no surplus grain is the Heavenly Palace, and he will not be able to defend it for long.

Of course, this does not rule out that She Gui deceived Jin San, but Yan Kui felt that he could bet on this, even if there were other granaries inside the White Snake Valley, destroying this granary would also greatly weaken the strength of the White Snake Valley, at least, the other party would not have enough food to supply him for a long time.

…………

Thinking of this, Yan Kui asked Jin San to draw him a map of the location of the granary, and then quietly sent someone to the cliff to investigate the actual terrain.

After a general understanding of the specific situation, Yan Kui selected the best of the best from the elite in his hands, and selected a hundred people to form a raid team, honing his ability to jump over the cliff day and night.

Initially, Yan Kui wanted to lead the team in person, but was later stopped by Xu Yu and others.

This raid mission is really dangerous, a careless move may be encircled, Yan Kui, as the commander of the first army, must not put himself in danger, Yan Kui was persuaded by everyone, and finally decided to be led by Chen Xingxiao.

Chen Xingxiao is good at commanding, has a keen mind, and is from a hunter, and crossing mountains and mountains is a semi-instinct for him, and the raid team is handed over to him, Yan Kui is relieved.

However, after all, it was a surprise attack, and there had to be high-force people in the team, Yan Kui couldn't move lightly, so he temporarily sent Monk Guangshan into the raid team, and with the support of a master like him, the combat effectiveness of the raid team immediately doubled.

After determining the personnel, Yan Kui pulled everyone to discuss the time of the raid, and finally chose the day of Chinese New Year's Eve.

On this day, the whole world celebrates, and the bandits definitely did not expect that someone would sneak attack today, and their vigilance will inevitably be reduced, which is just right for the raid team to move.

…………

After confirming all the details of the raid team, Yan Kui asked them to disguise themselves and sneak into Teng County one after another, and then under the cover of Jin San, they gradually converged at the foot of the White Snake Valley Mountain.

The raid team was gearing up, and Yan Kui was not idle here, he invited Huang Dahu to use a group of yacha to create the illusion of training soldiers and horses in the barracks to hide people's eyes and ears.

He himself led the new army into Tengxian County, and on the 28th day of the lunar month, the troops were divided into two routes, one route was Gong Fa with 300 people, ready to meet Chen Xingxiao's raid team, Yan Kui personally led the main force of the official army, and slowly approached the snake avenue in the White Snake Valley.

Once the cottage grain and grass are burned, She Gui is likely to quickly lead people down the mountain to rob the grain, Yan Kui led the troops to block here, come one, kill one, come two, and slaughter a pair.

It's not Yan Kui, if there is no level terrain in the White Snake Valley, dare to come out and fight with Yan Kui, and the She Gui he can fight is called Dad.........

At that time, there was no food on the mountain, and he led his troops to block their route down the mountain to plunder, Yan Kui wanted to see how long he She Gui could last.

However, if Yan Kui's plan to achieve all of this is to be realized, the premise is that the raider's plan to burn food must be successful.

"I hope Xingxiao can go well............"

In the cold wind, Yan Kui hurried away with thousands of soldiers, looked at the towering White Snake Valley, and muttered in his heart.
