Chapter Eighty-Seven: Before the War Begins, Suppress the Bandits First

A series of military movements of the Liuqiu Guard on the Shandong Peninsula could not be hidden from the eyes of the locals. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

The common people knew that this autumn the Liuqiu Guards were going out to fight the Tatar bandit groups again, and they welcomed such a war with all their hearts!

The reason is very simple, they find that they can benefit from the war------ after every battle, especially when the Liuqiu Guards resettle refugees, they have to buy all kinds of daily necessities from the people, even at this time, they can gain more than ordinary laborers, because the wages are high, and the Liuqiu Guards still take care of the food.

And even the straw mats of reeds and corn stalks sell a lot!

When Wang Defa was still here, he absolutely admired the creativity of the people of the Shandong Peninsula, and the corn had only been planted for a few years, and they would make comprehensive use of it.

Use corn ear husks to go to the toilet and save paper paper, which is a simple and primitive use.

Weaving straw mats, straw hats and bags from corn stalks is a practical art process.

Boil water with ears of corn to drink, saying that it is to remove age spots, which belongs to the beginning of fantasy------

War will make you rich, and perhaps the reason for the belligerence lies only here.

Of course, the various meticulous works hidden on the Shandong Peninsula will also spread the news!

Therefore, they sent troops soon ------ the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and their main force began to officially act.

In fact, it was not their main force that started to act, it was Zhao An's command and Captain Huang Zu's special team.

Their mission is very clear, to enter the mountains between the three cities of Zibo, Jinan and Laiwu to fight the mountain bandits on various hills!

The mountain bandits are rebels, they oppose all governments, and they only like to "rob the rich and help the poor" themselves, but they often rob others of their wealth and help their own poor.

Especially around those iron mines or small smelting workshops, those mountain bandits are extremely extortive to them, which is impossible for the Liuqiu Guards to tolerate, what is the difference between such people and forces and the Tatar bandit group?!

Their investigation of these bandits in advance was thorough.

It is true that some of the mountain bandits on the various hills are forced to go up the mountains and have no choice but to go up to the grass or are composed of civil rebels who were originally anti-Tatar forces, but their survival is maintained by illegal means, and even better off, so all these acts are unforgivable!

Commander Zhao An and Captain Huang Zu divided their team into several squads, and then divided them into different areas to fight together.

They also hired some local miners to act as guides.

At that time, they almost laughed when they first saw the local miners, who were similar to the miners on the Shandong Peninsula, also wearing canvas clothes and trousers, but the shoes were straw sandals.

The miner guides also explained: "Liuqiu shoes are too expensive------ not as cheap and practical as canvas pants!" ā€

At that time, Zhao An asked curiously: "You are waiting in the deep mountains, but you also know how to beg?" ā€

The miner guides said respectfully: "Lord Haojiao knows that we often have to go down the mountain to shop and sell iron, so I have heard from time to time------ everyone is always looking forward to begging the heavenly soldiers to save me in the future!" ā€

Zhao Antong was angry when he heard this, I am clearly an officer and soldier of the Great Song Dynasty!

However, he couldn't help it, he was unofficial, and he was warned before leaving, if he was captured on the battlefield, and he couldn't say Da Song, even if he said Da Song, he wouldn't admit it!

Even if Zhao An thinks about it with his ass, he will understand why.

------All the evil spirit is out of the mountain bandits!

With their strength, fighting mountain bandits is too bullying------ plus they are completely led by locals, and these problems are difficult to find out what terrain and terrain are.

On the contrary, the bandits are in the dark, and the mountain bandits are in the light, and in this case, their weapons play a great role!

The mountain bandits' stockades are generally in dangerous places, and they have to leave a way to retreat, and basically do not put their nests in a desperate situation.

They still use the perspective of this era to consider the ability of others to attack the village------ so they suffered a big loss.

According to different cottages, Zhao An and Captain Huang Zu either attacked or attacked, no matter how they fought, they were all handy.

Compared with the Tatar army, they were so poorly organized and disciplined that often after a few shots were fired at night, a few grenades, or a few rockets during the day, the whole stockade was thrown into chaos!

It seems that only the finishing touches cost something.

The first point here is that they cannot guarantee the complete capture of the mountain bandits. In the mountainous areas, although most of the escapees can be caught by guarding the main roads, there are too many branches and branches, and the siege is always not tight.

The second point is that there are even mountain bandits who have moved their families to the village! It's a big nest when you grab it, and it's really inconvenient to walk------

Thirdly, the local people are very grateful and supportive of the action to exterminate the bandits, but they will lynch those with blood debts when they find an opportunity, and it seems that there are still a few nearby families who are not affected by the bandits.

Later, Zhao Antong and Captain Huang Zu decided not to concentrate on supervision, but immediately sent a part of the team after breaking a stockade. Escort everyone back to the Shandong Peninsula and let someone else deal with them.

As for their cottage, it was all burned down at that time, and they were cut off from any idea of turning back.

During this period, some local officials of course knew that the rogue pirates sent people around to suppress the bandits, and they didn't dare to care, but they were still happy in their hearts, dog-eat-dog, a mouthful of hair.

They had also organized people to suppress the bandits before, but each time they were all defeated------ they thought that the fighting power of the mountain bandits was very strong, and they would not gain much if they won.

It's true.

After Zhao Antong and Captain Huang Zu once captured a stockade, they counted and seized a large number of potatoes, sweet potatoes and corn cobs, as well as more than a dozen cloths------ which could not even make up for their ammunition costs!

However, this is not how the economic account is calculated.

After they completely pacified the mountain bandits, the local people were grateful, and the stability of the entire mountainous area made those small mine owners and small smelting workshop owners more motivated, and they themselves increased their investment.

As for the mountain bandits and their families who were escorted back one after another, they didn't care about what others would do.

Their own losses were not large, three of the team members were hit by arrows, five of them were caught in the opponent's trap, and unfortunately one of them fell off a cliff and died------ but they trained a mountain forest unit.

Commander Zhao An and Captain Huang Zu summed up the battle experience at this stage and learned a lot of lessons.

Zhao An said proudly: "Even if the Tatar army of 100,000 comes to chase and kill us, relying on this mountainous area alone, we can drag them to death!" ā€

The whole mountainous area is full of endless hills of different heights, and the undulating slopes are full of lush trees, and under the slopes are weeds that are half a man tall and one person high, and one cannot see them as soon as one gets in.

Captain Huang Zu said: "We can succeed because we know their situation, and they have formed a cottage, just like waiting for us to attack in the bright place------ if there is really an army of 100,000 chasing us, then as long as they circle in this mountainous area, they will not be able to do anything, but will not be counterattacked by us from time to time!"

Defending the village must be the stupidest way. ā€

At this time, Zhao An sat cross-legged on the tung oil tarpaulin, took out his pipe, loaded it with the end of the cigarette, and then lit it and began to smoke.

Captain Huang Zu persuaded him, saying that it is not good for young people to smoke, but he disagreed, because in Lin'an City, those who can smoke are rich and powerful.

The way they smoke their pipes exudes a sense of dignity.

Zhao An's control is different from Captain Huang Zu's belief in Zhang Guoan's words, saying that it is not good, why do you want to smoke it yourself?!

Zhao An added with a snort: "If you don't have such a weapon in your hand, it is impossible to capture it in one fell swoop, and it will definitely cause greater casualties!" ā€

In the midst of the conversation between the two of them, twilight quickly fell and they decided to still camp in the mountains. (To be continued.) )
