Hearing Su Xiu's description of the sand table, the two of them felt that this creative thing would help the war, because everyone may not be familiar with the terrain, or there may be a certain deviation in memory, but if there is a reduced terrain and landform in front of them, then these factors can be perfectly avoided. It can be said that the sand table is an invention that can change the pattern of warfare.

"Wen Ze, you need to participate in the whole process of this wolf's tooth operation, and my request is to completely block the news of Turtle Mountain. Therefore, once the army begins to attack the mountain, it cannot let go of a bandit, otherwise the purpose of hiding the army will not be achieved. The task is heavy, are there any requirements? ”

"It's a bit tight on time, but it should be done. After all, there are cliffs on both sides of Turtle Mountain, and only the front and back mountains have a passage. As long as they don't attack from both sides, the bandits will not break through from the cliff.

But my lord, in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, I hope that you can transfer Xiaohai and Sawing Xiangyong to Houshan to cooperate with me, with the addition of these people, as long as it is not a bandit who retreats without a fight, Houshan will never let go of an enemy. ”

"Okay, then you go and prepare immediately, I'll go and see if the craftsman's workshop can change your weapons and armor in this half month."

……

Half a month, not a long time, under the intensive arrangement of Su Xiu and others, the undercurrent of Taishan County is surging.

First, the reconnaissance and removal of obstacles by the Wolf's Tooth Special Battalion, followed by the covert siege of the exit of Qianshan Mountain by the soldiers of Taishan County in batches, and Su Xiu's use of the grain and grass hidden by the dwellings at the foot of Turtle Mountain, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a thousand shots.

There is nothing known about Taishan County's actions, but the top of Guishan Mountain, and the three Lin brothers are still arguing over whether to participate in the alliance.

The three brothers of the Lin family are not natives of Taishan, and fifteen years ago, they fled to Guishan Mountain due to accidental injuries. At that time, Guishan was just a small gang of a few dozen people, relying on going to some small mountain villages from time to time to fight the autumn breeze to survive. The Lin brothers saw that the terrain of the cottage was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the leader was short-sighted, so they killed the leader and seized control of the cottage.

In the past fifteen years, the Lin brothers have relied on their fearless style and their own strong skills to constantly annex the surrounding small cottages, and gradually have a certain influence among the Taishan bandits.

"Big brother, I think we should join this alliance. Although the news received this time confirmed that the new county guard was just a hairy boy, and he did not unite with other officers and soldiers, I heard that this kid had firmly controlled Mount Tai in just two months, and he also found Yu Ban from Sawing County to reorganize the army. If we don't join the alliance, then we will most likely be the target of the officers and soldiers of Taishan County after the beginning of spring, and we will have to fight alone, and no one will support us. ”

"The second brother is too worried, just rely on which soft-footed shrimp in Mount Tai, either I blow it, or don't think about it for 350,000 or 50,000 yuan in our cottage. Even if it's Yu Ban, do you think we can be compared to Li Laohu's fool who doesn't have a long brain? ”

"That's right, second brother, the main reason why I haven't agreed to the alliance is that we have some terrain advantages that they don't have. You see, we only have the front and back mountains here to enter the cottage, and the officers and soldiers can't spread out the battle when they come, plus our open posts and hidden posts and traps, as well as our condescending and the lack of training of the Taishan army, even if we have no support, there is no reason for us to lose.

But once the alliance is over, it will be difficult for us to compete with Wang Bao, Li Tie and Zhu Tong for the spoils. The alliance will do us more harm than good in the long run. ”

"Big brother, it's not that I raise the morale of others to destroy my own prestige, I also know a little bit about this Yu Ban, he is indeed a talent who trains soldiers. Don't say anything, do you think that the people who can bring out a group of farmers to fight off Li Laohu within half a year, I think at least we don't have a cottage, right? ”

After a pause, the second child said again: "Big brother, you have been thinking about the pros and cons of the alliance for us recently, and you may not have paid too much attention to the news of Taishan, so I will tell you about it, and you will consider what I just said."

This hairy county guard is not a simple person, although he has never heard of it before, but this person is resolute and quite bold, at the beginning of his tenure, he used thunderous means to pull down the official collaborators of the major forces of Taishan County one by one, and so far has not been affected at all.

Secondly, he also united with the ban to vigorously rectify the officers and soldiers, which allowed him to completely control Mount Tai in the shortest possible time. To be honest, for such a skilled county guard, I don't believe that there will be no idea about the threat to our cottages. And once they're ready to act, we're going to be the first to do it. ”

"So, second brother, in your opinion, when will they start encircling us?"

"In my opinion, the biggest possibility is the beginning of next spring. After all, no matter how strong the county defense ability is, if we want to encircle and suppress us, we still need soldiers to charge into battle, and the total strength of Taishan County is less than 10,000 people, and there is no training all year round. If you want to rely on them, you always need to train, so the beginning of spring may be very large. ”

"Second brother, since you think that they are going to fight Turtle Mountain and start spring, by that time Li Tie and they have already started the battle, how can they still care about us?"

"Third brother, you must know that people who have no long-term worries must have near-term worries, if we don't nifle out the situation that is unfavorable to us, then we are not far from destruction."

"Third brother, don't say it, the second brother is right, we have had a bit of a smooth life over the years, which makes you and me a little lost. In this way, second brother, you go to explore the situation of Taishan again, we still have some time, and when the situation on your side is clear, we will decide whether to join the alliance or not. When the boss Lin Hu saw that the third child was going to say something, he stopped him at the right time.

The second brother saw that the eldest brother had begun to compromise, and he did not force Lin Hu to make a decision now. Just as he was about to get up and go out to make arrangements, he saw a minion come in and say to them: "The three masters, the little one feels that something is a little wrong." ”

"Ergouzi, what's wrong?" The second Lin Kui saw that this minion had a heavy face, so he opened his mouth and asked.

This minion Lin Kui knows, he is a master of traps, and he is very careful. Normally, no one would come in at this time to disturb the deliberations of the three brothers, but since this second dog has come in, there must be something unusual about it.

"Second master, didn't you ask Goudan to go to Yangping to find Sun Heizi to deliver a prayer post half a month ago? But the dogs haven't come back yet, and I feel like something might have happened. So I prepared to go down the mountain to have a look, but there were traces of human activity near several of our outposts, and the brothers of the sentry did not respond to my code, and it is estimated that these brothers were gone. ”

Hearing that the dark whistle might be pulled out, Lin Hu stood up with a 'pout', grabbed the collar of the second dog and shouted, "What you said is true? ”

"The big boss, the little one, everything is true, although it is possible for the dog to run to find Sister Yao, but he is not such a person who does not know the importance of the matter, the second master let him do the things that have not been overturned, he does not dare to stay outside for too long. It is only three or five days from Guishan to Yangping, which is more than half a month, and I haven't come back, something must have happened, plus the secret post has been cleaned up, and the small one thinks that someone may be beating our idea. ”

After listening to Ergouzi's analysis, Lin Hu returned to his seat with a shocked face. Lin Kui motioned for the second dog to go out first, and then said to Lin Hu: "It seems that we underestimated the courage of this young county guard, he wants to eat us before the year, and then concentrate on dealing with Li Tie and their alliance." ”

"Big brother, what else are you talking about, hurry up and prepare, let's go down the mountain, let this group of old soldiers know how powerful our Turtle Mountain is." The third Lin Feng said urgently.

"Third child, calm down. Since the officers and soldiers have been prepared for a long time, there will definitely be an ambush waiting for us when we go out now. What we need to do now is to find out the enemy's movements and make good use of our advantages. As long as we are not exterminated by the officers and soldiers this month, then the officers and soldiers will naturally return to Mount Tai after winter. Big brother, I'll go prepare for the defense first, and then I'll talk to you about joining the alliance when I come back. After saying that, the second Lin Kui turned around and went out.

Su Xiu didn't expect that because of a small negligence, the three Lin brothers on the Turtle Mountain were on guard, and in the evening, they were still staring at the sand table that had just been completed and discussing the battle plan with Yu Ban Xizhi.
