Chapter 68: Encirclement and Suppression (2)

The officers and soldiers came and went faster, and there were not many who were stoned to death, but those who were stoned were all over the mountains, and they wailed after being wounded. After Liu Gouwa ordered www.biquge.info stop rolling stones, the officers and soldiers under the mountain sent more than a dozen officers and soldiers to the mountain to rescue and evacuate the wounded.

The dozen or so officers and soldiers shrank up the mountain, carefully helping the injured who were not dead and could not walk themselves, Liu Gouwa ignored them and let them rescue the wounded.

After the officers and soldiers went down the mountain to rest for two hours, they sent a group of sergeants to attack the mountain again, this time the officers and soldiers were mostly sword and shield soldiers, and only a small number of crossbowmen followed the formation.

These sword and shield soldiers, without the arrogance of the sergeant who attacked the mountain for the first time, climbed the mountain without scruples, and now their faces are full of fear, but because of the order and military law, they still have to sacrifice their lives to attack the mountain, take one step and look at three steps, shrink back, and slowly go up the mountain.

This time, the officers and troops were divided into several columns to attack the mountain, and they no longer covered the mountains and fields like the previous time, climbing the mountain in a chaotic manner. However, the two ends of the wasp pass are large, the middle is thin, and the pass is narrow, like an inverted trumpet, and the officers and soldiers finally have to converge to the pass.

When the mountain bandits were impatient, they saw that these officers and soldiers looked nervous and converged in front of the pass, and the mountain bandits had the experience of throwing stones in the previous time, and they did not wait for Liu Gouwa's orders, so they rolled stones to the officers and soldiers in front of the pass.

The officers and soldiers in front of the pass were frightened when they saw the stones rolling down the mountain, and the whole column swung around like a long snake to avoid the stones rolling down the mountain. One or two sergeants were slow to react, unable to dodge, and were hit by stones, letting out a long scream, which made the hearts of the officers and soldiers even more terrifying, and cold sweat was dripping.

The officers and soldiers who lined up in a column were hit by stones and injured much less than last time, and the officers and soldiers gradually regained their confidence, and the crossbowmen who pressed the formation looked for a gap and fired arrows at the pass, and they also shot and killed a few mountain bandits who threw stones and threw them away.

The crossbowmen of the officers and soldiers, the arrows were effective, and the arrogance of the mountain bandits at the pass was immediately suppressed, and the mountain bandits did not dare to stand on the pass and throw stones anymore, but they relied on the mountain situation as a cover, and from time to time threw stones under the pass, but with little effect, and the stones were wasted.

One after another, the threat of the stones rolling down the mountain decreased, the momentum was sluggish, and the morale of the officers and soldiers under the mountain suddenly rose, and they rushed to the pass with their lives.

You have a good plan to cross the wall ladder, Liu Gouwa couldn't help but tell the mountain bandits to prepare a large number of stones, wait for his slogan, and throw the stones down together.

Liu Gouwa looked at the officials and soldiers under the mountain who were arrogant again, holding swords and shields, climbing the mountain desperately, and couldn't help sneering in her heart: Wait until the mountains and fields are full of rolling stones, come to a seamless attack, see how you dodge, how arrogant you are.

Under Liu Gouwa's unified slogan, the mountain bandits on the pass threw rolling stones at the pass at the same time, and the stones in the sky poured down like a torrential rain. After a while, I heard another miserable scream and a groan of pain under the pass.

The officers and soldiers suffered heavy injuries, and in desperation, they had to retreat again and Mingjin withdrew his troops.

The mountain bandits in the wasp pass, seeing those officers and soldiers retreating in embarrassment again, couldn't help but laugh loudly excitedly, and greatly admired Liu Gouwa's method of rejecting the enemy. In the cottage, there were not many losses, but there were countless enemy injuries, and they also repelled two attacks by the official army, so even Wang Chang and others secretly admired it in their hearts.

This time, after the defeat and retreat of the official army, they no longer organized an attack on the mountain for three consecutive days, but waited under the mountain to occupy all the mountain crossings they had captured.

On the night of the fourth day, the officers and soldiers organized several sneak attacks, but these tricks, Liu Gouwa had already been familiar with the chest, and laid an ambush in the place where the pass could go up the mountain early, and before they could climb up, they were Zhou Botong, Zhou Maoyan, Sun Wukong, Sun Mouse, these people who had been trained in night battles, and had better eyesight at night, used the bow and crossbow captured from Xiao Song City, and shot a burst of arrows, and the officers and soldiers who attacked the sneak attack, leaving only a few corpses, and then fled back to the mountain in embarrassment.

The officers and soldiers who encircled and suppressed at the foot of the mountain had nothing to do, but they had no choice but to do anything about these mountain bandits, so they set up camp at the foot of the mountain, surrounded but did not attack, and engaged in a protracted war to kill the war.

For the officials and troops under the mountain who played a protracted war that was surrounded but not fought, Liu Gouwa just wanted to laugh in her heart, she was too familiar, Chairman Mao's discussion of protracted warfare was familiar. There are many ways to deal with these officers and soldiers under the mountain, and they are nothing more than guerrilla warfare, movement warfare, ambush warfare, and harassment warfare, especially the 16-character formula of guerrilla warfare.

Liu Gouwa suggested that Wang Chang get a leather drum and knock it on during the work and rest time of the officers and soldiers, so that the enemy would be tired of the enemy, and also suggested that Wang Chang send people to sneak down the mountain, looking for opportunities to harass the supply of grain and grass for the officers and soldiers, and fighting guerrilla warfare with the officers and soldiers.

In the cottage, now I have just looted a lot of food and property from Xiaosong City, plus all kinds of wild food on the mountain, it is still okay to save food and guard the cottage for three or five months, or even half a year.

Now, the role of the waste refugees in the population of Wang Chang and others on the mountain is also becoming more and more obvious, they go to the mountain every day to collect all the food they can eat, repair and make defensive weapons in the cottage, and transport food and water to the mountain bandits who defend at various crossings and passes on the mountain.

These days, the mountain bandits of Hutou Mountain, taking advantage of the steepness of the mountain, resisted the enemy at the foot of the mountain, and played a game of cat and mouse with the officials and soldiers, and the skin drum also made people upset every day.

Most of these mountain bandits are ruffians, their martial arts skills are not high, but their scolding skills are first-class, and they are always dumbfounded by the scolding of the officers and soldiers, and they are extremely angry and silent, and they flee back to the barracks in disgrace.

Liu Gouwa originally estimated that the officers and troops under the mountain would have to surround the mountain for at least one or two months, and instructed the mountain bandits on the mountain to prepare food for at least two months, but to the surprise, the officers and troops had been besieging the mountain for less than a month, so they couldn't bear it anymore, and withdrew from Hutou Mountain early on the morning of the twenty-fifth day and returned to Xiaosong City.

Although the officers and soldiers withdrew from Hutou Mountain, they still left an ambush in the place where the mountain bandits must pass down the mountain, picking up Wang Fu's tooth wisdom, but Wang Chang and others were fooled once, and they were willing to be fooled again, and they easily refused to go down the mountain.

Soon, the officers and troops who were ambushed at the foot of the mountain also withdrew from Hutou Mountain, and Hutou Mountain returned to calm. However, Xiao Songcheng sent additional troops to garrison, and the mountain bandits on the mountain did not dare to be too presumptuous, so they could only operate in the mountainous area of Hutou Mountain.

After this defensive battle of the cottage, Liu Gouwa won the favor of the mountain bandits in the cottage, and the mountain bandits often shouted for the fourth brother and the fourth brother short, and those waste refugees also had a look of reverence, and simply regarded Liu Gouwa as a victorious hero.
