Chapter Fifty-Nine: Simple and Rough Has Power! 【Ask for Collection】
The later "O'Connell's Razor" expounded a very simple truth, simple is the best. Do not add entities unless necessary. In other words, it is simple and rude, but powerful!
Lu Qian didn't need to dismantle the Gundam with his bare hands, he just had to simply deploy this team of people. Song Wan was very self-aware, although Wang Lun's words meant that he was the leader, but after the minions went down to the water in a small boat, he readily handed over the command to Lu Qian.
Lu Qian knew that his 'subordinates' were a group of bandits who had not received strict military training, so Ao Kang's razor criterion was perfect for the bandit strongmen and these minions who had not received strict military training.
He simply divided the two hundred into three parts. The first is the bow and arrow group, all the minions with bows and arrows are gathered in a group, numbering only twenty-six people, led by him himself; the second is the attack group, led by Liu Tang, with a number of about fifty people, Ruan Xiaoer and Ruan Xiaowu are among them; The last part is the reserve, numbering as many as one hundred and twenty or thirty people, led by Song Wan, Zhu Gui as his deputy, and Ruan Xiaoqi guarding the lord's left and right.
The plan was to make Liu Tang attractive, and then the archers would concentrate on shooting. Song Wan and Zhu Gui outflanked left and right, or flanked back and forth. It's a simple tactic, but it's the best tactic for the humble camp at the mouth of the Wenshui River.
Enemies, these big families choose to stand on the side of the Northern Song Dynasty government and court, that is the enemy. They had no intention of calculating, and after winning Liangshan, they chose to set up a stockade in Wenshuikou, and it seemed that there were still some local soldiers. After the minions in front of him reported back to Lu Qian, Lu Qian was first startled, and then laughed.
It seems that when such a kind of folk 'volunteers' gather, the leader must be among them. There may not be an old man like Liu Xun here, but there must be a few people present at the local big family who frustrated Liangshan this time. Others, etc., will also have children.
If this village is broken, it can be said that it will really take revenge.
Lu Qian immediately asked the brigade to change their voyage and approach from the north bank of the Wenshui River estuary; Leaving Zhu Gui and Ruan Xiaoqi to lead fifty people, driving a small boat, carefully lying in the water. When the war on land began, they worked together to reach the back of the stockade from south to north from Wenshui, and attacked the enemy on both sides.
The surface of Wenshui is not as wide as Jishui, but it is also a small hundred zhang wide. Don't look at it as not famous, but Wenshui originates in the south of Mount Tai, like a jade belt around the foot of Mount Tai. The so-called: hundreds of rivers are surrounded by blue, hugging Lu Fuliu. It refers to Wenshui.
The total length is more than 400 miles, the narrowest part of the upstream is only a few meters wide, and the widest part of the middle and lower reaches can reach four or five miles wide, so naturally there is no rushing flow of the upstream waterway.
The hastily founded village is on the north bank of Wenshui, and when Lu Qian and his people arrived, it was already early hour, but fortunately, there was still a lot of mist on the water.
The guards on duty in the small village were very slack, perhaps they had rested too late last night, and many people were still sleeping in the simple sheds, and few people moved.
So when this battle is fought, it is devastating.
Zhu Gui and Ruan Xiaoqi were all arranged in vain, and when they came ashore from the flank, they didn't need to use their swords anymore. Because the entire village was taken down by Lu Qian.
The killing and wounding are not very much. Except for Liu Tang, who was covered in blood and slashed a few characters who blocked the way, the others fled in a swarm.
They are just family guards, but they are not elite soldiers who have survived a hundred battles, they were beaten to the camp and attacked, and a few hard characters were slashed and killed by the fierce men who took the lead in the other party before they were in Sanhe, so what fighting spirit is there.
As a result, this small village, which can be said to have gathered the essence of more than a dozen landlords and gentry on both sides of Wenshui, was easily leveled by Lu Qian. A total of twenty-two people were slashed and killed, and fifty-six people were captured, and two of them were seriously injured, so they were directly treated.
More than 150 knives, guns, sticks, 35 bows and arrows were seized, of which 5 were the standard bows and arrows of the imperial court, 5600 arrows of various kinds, more than 30 shields, 100 loads of rice and grain, and a batch of poultry, livestock, wine and meat.
However, the most important thing is not these, but the 'enemy situation' that Lu Qian took out of the prisoner's mouth.
Three of the fifty-four captives were the sons of the landlords and gentry, and naturally they poured out everything they knew under the stick.
Last night, it was those families who sent out the Ding Nursing Home and tenants to surround the people in Liangshan, and how many Ding Nursing Homes came out later, and explained them one by one. Even the news of the state capital's dispatch from the county seat of Yuncheng also shook out.
They are here to make Huang An stand forward for the group training.
Song Wan, Liu Tang and others, when they heard that the Dezhou government had dispatched thousands of troops, the first was the 1,000 native soldiers and officials led by Huang An, and their faces changed one after another. It's just that Liu Tang and the Sanruan brothers were just startled, and they returned to their fierce appearance in a blink of an eye, with murderous aura in their eyes, but Song Wan was really frightened.
Lu Qian didn't care about it, but only dispatched troops first, and asked Liu Tang and Sanruan brothers to take twenty or thirty people each to a few nearby Zhuangzi to raid their homes.
Especially Liu Xun's old thief!
Many of the fifty or sixty minions lost by Liangshan yesterday were planted under his hands, and there were still five captured minions in the dungeon of the Liu family's mansion. This must be saved!
Let's talk about Huang'an Town.
A big drama is being staged, and the thirteen minions who were captured in the first battle of Liangshanyi last night were escorted to Huang'an Town by the big families who participated in the war.
The leader is Fan Huiyuan, the eldest son of Fan Jiuren, a big family in Fan Zhuang. During yesterday's battle, this birdman was as timid as a mouse, and he hid far away. Now that they have won, Na Du Qian led people to Liangshanyi, only bluffing there, giving the surrounding big families time to react.
According to the contact in advance, several large families encouraged their tenants with money, grain and rent, and the black and oppressive crowd frightened Du Qian and them into chaos. not only killed and injured many people, but also captured thirteen thieves, but unfortunately escaped Song Wan.
Fan Huiyuan was not afraid, and scrambled to get this errand to meet Zhu Tong Leiheng.
Although Zhu Lei and the others are only the head of the county government, they are not worth mentioning in the officialdom. But for the gentry in Fanzhuang, Zhangzhuang, Wangjiazhai, Dali Village and other places, they are undoubtedly high-ranking nobles.
That Lei Heng is the person who has to be flattered by Chao Gai, and now there is one more Zhu Tong, and it is not uncommon for the gentry in Fanzhuang, Zhangzhuang, Wangjiazhai, Xiaoduzhuang, Dali Village and other places to be so flattered.
After the thirteen minions were sent to Huang'an Town, Lei Hengli mainly 'taught' the minions, and was dissuaded by Zhu Tong, Lei Heng turned his head to humiliate these thirteen people, Zhu Tong was not good at ignoring Lei Heng's face, so he was also at the mercy of Lei Heng.
As a result, in the early morning, there were two more large wooden cages under the fence outside Huang'an Town, and the thirteen minions were divided into two groups and all of them were locked in them.
The people in the entire Huang'an town came to see the excitement, and they all said that the Liangshan strongman had suffered a big disaster this time.
But at this time, bad news came from Wenshui.
Zhu Tong, Lei Heng, and Huang Anzhen and others were all surprised, and they didn't want Liangshan thieves to be so bold. As soon as he was defeated, he had to fight back. And when they heard that the Liangshan thieves were dividing into a team of thirty or twenty people and robbing the big families in the surrounding villages, the first two couldn't sit still.
"Brother must be good to guard the town, for the sake of brother, go to save Nawenshui, otherwise it will not look good in front of the county minister."
Zhu Tong immediately said to Lei Heng, led a mark of local soldiers, and led one hundred and ten families to cross the river and rush south.
Lei Heng was furious at the captured minions, he had said that it was okay to level Liangshan before, but now he felt that his face was not good-looking, and he wanted the local soldiers to take care of them, and they were not allowed to eat or water.
