Chapter 8: Suppressing Bandits (8)

The village of the White Gang is built on a low mountain, which is quite rugged, and the solidity of the White Village, it has the momentum of being a man and a man. The mountain is full of stone lumps, and there is not much loess, so this mountain is also called Lump Mountain. Due to environmental reasons, there are no tall trees in a radius of one mile around the Baibang Village, only a few wild grasses. Xu Qing came here to see the terrain, and he couldn't attack it, so he could only outwit it.

If you outwit it, according to the previous format, it is: first assassinate the bandits scattered around the stockade, then the large army sneaks closer, and then sends a small army to infiltrate and set fire to create chaos, take advantage of the situation to seize the gate, and the large army will kill in and end the battle. This style of play has almost become a fixed formula, and it has been very effective in the first half of the month's campaign against bandits. But not now......

First, the outside of Baizhai is empty, and it is impossible to get rid of the sentinels silently. Second, even if you take advantage of the dark night and high wind to get rid of the sentry, it will be difficult to create chaos inside. Because the houses inside are almost brick structures, it is difficult to burn. As for burning grain and grass, Xu Qing said forget it, it's all my master! Third, there are a large number of bandits, 1,200 people, even if it is chaotic, it is a great force, and his side must have suffered heavy casualties, which is not what Xu Qing wants to see.

Therefore, Xu Qing denied the previous form and ordered to be stationed in the wall. There are many rocky mountains and rocky mountains, and their water must be lacking, so you might as well be Sima Yi around the street pavilion once, thirsty to death for them, as long as they can't hold it and come out to fight, then they will have the confidence to use the advantage of the formation to reduce the damage rate and defeat the bandits. Xu Qing arranged for people to constantly harass the bandits who were guarding outside the village, so that they had to give up patrolling outside and all of them returned to the village to garrison.

Sure enough, after a few days of siege, the bandit leader in the village ran out of water to drink, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, and sent more than 100 people down the mountain to find water. Since the bandits outside the stockade had been beaten back inside by Xu Qing, they didn't know anything about the hostility outside the stockade. trembling down the mountain to fetch water, when they went, they were fine, but when they came back, it was terrible, Qi Tai was waiting for them with five hundred people!

After eating thousands of arrows, the bandits left seventy or eighty lives and returned with a few buckets of water. Where was there enough water for a dozen buckets, and at night, the bandit leader asked people to go down the mountain to find water. But this time, Qi Tai's army did not appear, as if the last time they had met by chance.

But who knows, this is Xu Qing's strategy. The entire pimple mountain is under Xu Qing's strict surveillance, where there are bandits looking for water, he is innocent, but he wants to use the gambler effect, that is, to make the robbers think that they can gamble and get back the water. As a result, the bandits kept sending people down the mountain to fetch water, taking the opportunity to kill their living forces, and the bandits would not be forced to go down the mountain desperately. This is a good strategy to boil a frog in warm water!

It's a pity that the sky is not beautiful, and the rain began to fall. not only solved the problem of water shortage among the white gangsters, but also made Xu Qing's morale start to be low, because Xu Qing lived in a tent!

The wall of the bandits' village is brightly lit, with a post at five steps and a sentry at ten steps, and even a mouse will be found if it crawls over.

"What can I do about it?" Xu Qing asked himself, on the one hand, he sighed at the difficulty of Pimple Mountain, and on the other hand, he sighed that there was no schemer around him.

"The cows graze, Qi Tai, each of you brings a drummer, and every night you take out your mouth to beat the drum and shout, and make an offensive posture, but when you see that the enemy comes out to check, you immediately retreat."

A strategy to exhaust the enemy? Maybe it's one of the ideas, but Xu Qing's first thought was to see that every time the guard change on the pimple mountain would add a lot of firewood, and he thought of the more than 1,000 people inside, I am afraid that the firewood consumption is not small, so he gave birth to a strategy to increase the cost of firewood, and then thought of a plan to exhaust the enemy.

As the saying goes, the time is not as good as the location, and the location is not as good as the people, Xu Qing began to divide the enemy. In a few skirmishes a few days ago, more than 100 people were killed, and it can be seen from the equipment that the bandits who came out to fetch water were not from the original White Gang, but must have joined the gang or formed an alliance. It's so unbalanced, I'm afraid there's a lot of resentment in it, right?

"Tell me: This expedition was originally to avenge the Xia family, and only beat the White Gang. The rest of the green forests, the past is not to blame, if you go out of the village and promise not to pay or kill, you should not take any of your property. If there is a good wish, the official can worship the captain and lead the troops as before. Holding the military Cangzhou military Cangzhou stabbing history Xu Qing, comforting. ”

A letter, thanks to 200 copies, when the bandits in the village were exhausted by the Qitai cattle eating grass, all of them were shot into the village. The noodles have been kneaded and the yeast powder has been dropped, so let's wait for the fermentation......

"Bastard! It's a divisive plan! Boss Bai looked at the letter in his hand and said angrily. Bai Lao Er also followed to persuade the others present: "Don't be gullible, this is the strategy of the official army, once you go out, you will be persecuted......"

"Boss Bai, don't worry, don't we know that the officials and soldiers are cunning?" One of the leaders of the alliance waved his hand and said calmly.

"This kind of thing can also deceive us? Isn't that what we're doing? Hahahaha......". The other leader spoke disdainfully, and when he finished speaking, he threw the letter in his hand into the fire, and burned it with a pop.

It's a pity that people's mouths have two skins, people's hearts are like the sea deep, and the letter in his hand is burned, but the letter in his heart is still reappearing:

"Zhao'an ......", "Don't pay or kill ......", "Don't take any property!"

"Don't take your possessions!"

"Don't take your possessions!"

"Captain of the Colonel!" "Leading the Soldiers"

The content of the letter appeared in the hearts of the bandits, even if the boss of the white gang kept roaring, he couldn't get rid of the thought in his heart:

Take away that large sum of money from the White Gang! Get out! Congliang! Captain of the school! Take your little brother to spend the rest of your life in peace! Buy a land, buy a house, and live in the city! No more fighting, killing!

Isn't it forced to come out and fall into the grass? Aren't they all begging for food? Now there's a better chance! Do you want to do it? Dry!

The letter was thrown in for three days, and Xu Qing waited for what he wanted - there was chaos on the pimple mountain! And it's more than a little messy, it's just a mess of the sky falling apart.

After Xu Qing's letter was shot in, the bandits saw that there was a condition on the letter that "no property should be taken". So some of the gangs that joined in were ready to move, coveting a large amount of money from the White Gang, thinking that they would go down the mountain to Xu Qing after a sneak attack and capture, but unfortunately before the incident, due to the uneven distribution of profits between them, there was an internal ghost, and they told the leader of the White Gang the plan. This led to a big sweep of the stockade by the White Gang, the White Gang Alliance 800 VS the Alliance Rebel 200.

After the rebels in the alliance, the White Gang began to have contradictions again. Because the number of people in the village has been reduced again and again, and there are even less than 700 people left after the fire, this makes some people in the White Gang feel the crisis, knowing that the probability of losing these battles is very high, so some middle-level members of the White Gang began to find another way.

Fire again and!

The middle-level members of the White Gang contacted their cronies, plus some new bandits from outside, and launched an attack on the leader of the White Gang.

Whitegang Boss 500 VS Whitegang Rebel 200. White gang leader, win!

It is worthy of being a character who has run the White Gang for so many years, and the two fires ended in the victory of the White Gang leader, and after cleaning the village again, there were only more than 300 people left in the village to fight. Even if you use the three hundred soldiers sent by the Xia family, it will be enough.

Let the pimple mountain go from more than 1,000 people to 300 people, what Xu Qing did was just a letter. A letter killed thousands of enemies, and Xu Qing was suddenly rumored to be Wolong. Xu Qing smiled when he heard this, and said in his heart: I didn't expect it! Xu Qing originally thought that if he could recruit a hundred people, and a hundred people died in a conflict, the battle would be almost three to one, but he didn't expect it, wahahahaha......

sighed, it was not so simple to be a soldier when he fought Wang Heihu in Shandong. At the beginning, there were more than 2,000 people in Wang Heihu, if he hadn't been stupid to sneak attack, but relied on the cottage to hold on, then Liu Zan didn't know how long he would fight.

Not now, but when?

Xu Qing gave an order to his 2,000 soldiers: get up on the third watch, cook food on the fourth watch, and attack after eating!

Now the soldiers in Xu Qing's hands are basically soldiers who have experienced a battle. If you have seen blood, you are a veteran...... In addition, there are also a small number of recruits, some bandits who have been in the grass for less than three months, or who have been taken captive to the mountain, have been selected by Xu Qing to serve as state soldiers, and the number is not much, less than a hundred.

The state soldiers are different from the government soldiers, and the government soldiers are conscripted troops, who participate in training, farming, and conscription according to certain laws and needs. The government soldiers participated in such tasks as conquest of separatist forces and hostile countries, and they were also responsible for guarding the border in peacetime. Such a system can both save military spending and build a large number of troops in a short period of time. The state soldiers are standing armies, responsible for maintaining law and order in the state and general garrison tasks, and their nature is more of an armed police force. Generally speaking, the government soldiers are many and strong, and the state soldiers are few and weak.

But many of the state soldiers under Xu Qing are not weak, 3,000 people, and the morale of the equipment is equal to that of the government soldiers. Although the rest of the White Gang have the equipment of the government soldiers, they do not have the morale of the government soldiers, so it can be said that it is easy to lay down the current pimple mountain.

The sky was bright, and the soldiers on the pimple mountain quietly poured into the white gang village like a tide. Due to the lack of firewood and the fatigue of the personnel, the sentry was sparsely populated, and the previous position was far from the previous formation.

Now you can use the old way, a small group sneaks in, takes the gate, and the army enters. Qi Tai Niu graze and led the soldiers in, as for when Xu Qing came, he only needed to ride a horse and slowly step into the White Gang Village. The corpse of the White Gang leader was left on the side of the road, and the earliest that the flies knew about it had become a black mist.

More than 1,300 taels of silver, 15,000 stone of grain, 500 pieces of cloth in their original condition, and knives and equipment were enough to recruit another 500 recruits. There are also eighty-two carts left by the Xia family, and the horses that pulled the carts, which were transported back to Cangzhou City by Xu Qing. As for the Xia family's things, no, they are dirty, and they have to be handed over to the public......

If someone can think more broadly, Xu Qing's extermination of the White Gang is a copy of the fake Dao Fa Yu.
