Chapter 33: The Bandits Attack

"My lord, I don't deny that the combat strength of the officers and soldiers under your command is much stronger than before, even stronger than the officers and soldiers in other places, but no matter how strong you are, there are only a few thousand. I don't believe you can withstand a siege with a single county. I'm not afraid to tell you that now Li Tiewang Leopard and they are uniting the entire Taishan cottage, which is enough to shake the mountains in Taishan County. ”

"Second master, thank you very much for providing me with this news. But do you really think a bunch of bandits can stop me? What you see today is only a part of the combat strength of the officers and soldiers of Taishan County, but this part is enough to destroy more than 1,000 people in your Tiger Roar Village, isn't it convincing enough? ”

"My lord, I admit that your decision was quite surprising, and I really did not expect you to send troops in the early winter. But once this kind of sneak attack is prepared, it will be very difficult to succeed, if you want to rely on this kind of battle to deal with Li Tiewang Leopard and them in an all-round way, I think you can cut down a few of our brothers now. ”

"Hehe, it's true that a well-guarded sneak attack is hardly effective, but what if you don't prepare? Do you think today's battle will reach Li Tie's ears? ”

"The Turtle Mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and we have been in business for many years, can the county guard still be able to annihilate my Tiger Roar Village? To be honest, I don't believe it. ”

"The second master will sit down for a while and wait for the latest battle report."

Not long after, the officers who cleaned up the battlefield, as well as Yu Ban, He Wang and others, returned to the tent one after another.

"My lord, in this battle, our Taishan army killed one hundred and seventy-eight people, slightly wounded four hundred and eighty-three, and seriously injured three hundred and twenty-four. In this battle, 1,564 bandits were killed or captured, of which 688 were killed and 876 were captured. In addition, the Wolf Tooth Battalion captured 72 bandits in the back mountain, and 18 bandits in three other trails. ”

"Well, yes, Captain Yudu, how is the battle damage of the wolf's fangs?"

"Back to my lord, the Wolf Tooth Battalion suffered four minor injuries and six serious injuries in this battle, and no one died."

"Okay, I'll write down the merits of this battle first, and then reward them after meeting Mount Tai. The top priority now is to count the soldiers killed in battle, to have no deductions in their pensions, and to treat the wounded on the spot. All soldiers' wounds must be cleaned with the liquor I brought before they can be medicated. In addition, as long as there is a soldier who is still breathing, he must bring me back to Mount Tai. The wounded among the captives were treated in the same way as I had just mentioned. ”

"Yes!"

"Second master, you should know better than me how many people you have in the cottage, how about it, did you miss it?"

Of course, Lin Kui knew very well how many people there were in Tiger Roar Village, and as Su Xiu said, none of them left. This made Lin Kui unconsciously wonder if someone in the village had betrayed them, and no one even took the most hidden cliff escape route.

"So, second master, can you consider my proposal? The bandit can't be a lifetime, I can destroy one of you and destroy the others, after all, the rabble is a rabble, and it is difficult to get into the hall of elegance. ”

"My lord, can I let the three brothers discuss it?"

"Yes, a reasonable request, but don't keep me waiting."

After speaking, he turned around and walked out of the tent with people.

"Big brother, third brother, tell me what you think."

"Second brother, do you think what he said is reliable? Will you lie to us? ”

"This big brother can rest assured, I think this person has big ambitions, and there is no need to make things up to deceive us. Besides, once we find out about his deception later, it will leave the hidden danger of rebellion, and a smart man like him would not do such a stupid thing. ”

"Second brother, do you really want to surrender this dog officer?"

"Third brother said cautiously, remember, now we are not in the cottage, it is better not to talk nonsense, it will cause trouble for us and the brothers in the village.

Moreover, since he took office, whether it is the policy towards the people or the training of officers and soldiers, we can see that he is different from the dog officers we have met before. Even if it is his selfishness to do this, it is also to give the people a real space to live. What's more, he is right, if we want to give our brothers and future generations a future, the bandit is impossible, and there may be a way out by following him. ”

"He will tolerate us, so will his soldiers fight alongside us who were born as bandits?"

"That's his business, if he can't even do this little thing, then I'm blind and see the wrong person."

The three brothers looked at each other and nodded.

When Su Xiu returned to the tent, the three of them knelt on one knee and called Su Xiu the lord. Su Xiu was naturally very happy to successfully subdue the three brothers of the Lin family, and after helping the three of them up, Lin Kui said to Su Xiu: "Lord, the third brother of Fang Cai has a lot of disrespect for the lord, and I hope that the lord can be light." ”

"It doesn't matter, the three masters are temperamental, and their straightforward personality is very much to my taste. I'm a man who doesn't like things that twist and turn, and my brother speaks freely. But I said ugly things in front, enter my Taishan gate, you have to abide by the rules of my Taishan, once I have military regulations, don't blame me for turning my face and not recognizing people. ”

When Lin Kui heard this, he understood in his heart why the combat effectiveness of Taishan's officers and soldiers had improved so quickly in just a few months. In the past, most of the local officers and soldiers of the Taishan Army, no, or the entire Han Dynasty, were lax in military discipline, bullying the good and fearing evil, and their behavior was even worse than that of the mountain bandits, but once the military discipline was clear, then the training and reward and punishment system would be much stricter, and the combat power would naturally come up.

"Don't worry, the lord belongs to the province. Although we are from mountain bandits, we have always restrained our subordinates on weekdays, so we naturally understand the truth of the military order of the mountain. ”

"Okay, since you just have to wait for your heart to understand. Now my first task for you is to bring half of your original subordinates back to Tiger Roar Village, and I will send some people to follow you up the mountain to explain to you my Taishan military regulations, and secondly, to help you train your subordinates, assist you in arranging defensive positions, and so on. ”

When the three of them heard this, they couldn't help but be stunned, let the three of them re-lead their old subordinates? It's only half, but it's a big hidden danger. Once he pretends to surrender and counterattacks at the right time, it will be fatal to Tarzan.

"You three don't have to wonder, after letting you go back, you will naturally understand that I don't like to hide, since you are willing to identify with me Taishan, then I will not doubt your loyalty. The main purpose of this group of people is to let them bring the training methods in the current Taishan army to the Tiger Roar Camp, and you will understand after a while. Of course, if you want to use them as a weight to hold you back, I have nothing to say. ”

"Subordinates obey the general's orders!"

Although the three of them had doubts in their hearts, they still asked. After all, it has just surrendered, and it is not appropriate to say too many things that should not be said now.

"In addition, in this battle against you, you said to the outside world that you had beaten the officers and soldiers back. After all, you can't hide such a big thing. In this way, we can usher in a fighter plane that is beneficial to us for the later eradication of Li Tie. ”

"Yes, the subordinates will live up to the trust of the lord!"

……

"Lord, these three people are put back like this, aren't you afraid of them repeatedly?"

"Zhicai, are you testing me? The way of employing people lies in employing people without suspicion and suspicion. Guarding them everywhere will make them resentful. And Lin Kui, the second of them, is not a brainless man, when we attacked Tiger Roar Village before, I believe that if it wasn't for his arrangement, we would have ended the battle more easily. ”

"Well, this Lin Kui is indeed a talent, although he is a thief, but his vision is still good. If you train it, you will definitely be able to become a great general in your own right. ”

"Indeed, if this Lin Kui's martial arts are a little more prominent, he can focus on cultivating, but now that he is in his thirties, he has not broken through the Gang Qi Realm, and his achievements will not be too big after all. It's the third Lin Feng, although he is a little reckless, but his martial arts may be able to go to the next level. ”

"In any case, the strategy of stabilizing Mount Tai and hiding troops in the wilderness that the lord envisioned is now being realized step by step, and presumably this upcoming troubled era will tremble because of the rise of my Taishan County."
