Chapter 55: The Old Treacherous and Cunning

"It's not a secret, there are more than 10,000 brothers in Brother Village, this time the official army encircled and suppressed, our Qingyun Village is determined to burn with their jade, the men of Mangdang Mountain have never been misgiving, although I don't know which miscellaneous thing blamed Qingyun Village for killing Liu Shanquan, but we are not afraid of the officials and soldiers of the county, this time we will kill this group of court eagle dogs in front of Qingyun Village."

Shi Qingyun sighed, and there was something tragic in his words.

The bandits were moved by Shi Qingyun's arrogance, and stood up one after another, "I must help Qingyunzhai kill the enemy." ”

Shi Qingyun nodded, looking at Su Yi and Gao Heihu who were sitting on the side, a cold light flashed imperceptibly in the corner of his eyes.

"Master Su Zhai, I heard from my subordinates that you have information from the government?"

Su Yi looked at Shi Qingyun and saw that the other party's eyes were uncertain, and the rest of the village owners also looked at him with curiosity, so he smiled and said: "The spies under my command came to report that Shangjun County sent more than 30,000 troops this time. ”

"What?" Shi Qingyun's face changed, and he asked coldly: "Lord Su Zhai's words are serious, this matter is very important, please don't make any jokes." ”

Su Yi heard the murderous intent in Shi Qingyun's words, and he said calmly: "Shangjun County has ten towns under its jurisdiction, and these towns have recruited a lot of township warriors. ”

"It's just a few villagers who are brave and strong, how much of a threat can they have." There are also some village owners who are dismissive.

"Really?" Su Yi smiled and said: "There are many local powerful forces in Shangjun County, they have a strong economy, and there are countless lands and fertile fields under their names. What's more, the level of affluence is even better than that of the ten towns under the jurisdiction of the upper county. ”

Shi Qingyun and the others listened quietly, but they heard Su Yi continue: "These people are also in a wait-and-see state. ”

"Aren't there a lot of powerful forces participating in the war this time? So what? ”

Su Yi shook his head and said: "There are not many powerful forces participating in the war this time, just a few big families led by the Liu family, and the rest of the powerful forces have not yet made a move, not to mention, those chambers of commerce also have a lot of guards, and when these people are gathered, they can be regarded as a large army." Once the siege of Shangjun County is not broken, I am afraid that there will be follow-up troops coming in. ”

What Su Yi said, the bandit leaders could also think clearly, but they never took those villagers and family members in their eyes. However, although the opponent's combat effectiveness is not strong, it is better than the large number of people, and it is also a troublesome matter to subsidize the soldiers to come in one after another.

"What does the owner of Su Zhai think?" Xue Qing, who had not spoken, spoke.

"It's very simple, if you want to make those forces who sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight not dare to make a move, you can only win the first battle and use force to deter them. Shangjun County first sent 30,000 troops into the vertical and horizontal mountains, although the number of the other side is large, but the strength is not as good as ours, are some people and recruited heroes of the rivers and lakes, the people of the rivers and lakes can not fight to the death for the imperial court, as long as we take advantage of them to come from afar, when the foothold is not stable, out of the city to sneak attack, kill the opponent by surprise in the field battle, and fear them, so that the other party does not dare to send follow-up troops over. ”

The leaders of the bandits looked at each other, and when they heard Su Yi's eloquent talk, many people were convinced, obviously agreeing with Su Yi's words.

"That's right, those villagers are just farmers, our soldiers and horses are all killed in this treacherous place, are you still afraid of those farmers?"

Shi Qingyun's eyes were erratic, and he always felt that Su Yi's words were not as simple as they appeared, but Su Yi's words also played a role in encouraging the morale of the army.

"Big brother, are you really relieved that Su Yi?"

In Shi Qingyun's room, the second master and the third family were sitting opposite him.

"Hmph, we have more than 10,000 people in Qingyun Village, and we are afraid that there will be more than a thousand thieves in him?" Shi Qingyun mocked: "The reason why I didn't kill him was because I didn't want to chill the hearts of those village owners, after all, this Su Yi came to help our Qingyun Village." However, the sword has no eyes on the battlefield, and if he is unfortunately killed by the officers and soldiers, then it is no wonder to me. ”

Speaking of this, Shi Qingyun sneered a few times, and the second and third masters glanced at each other, and laughed heartily.

On the other side, Cheng Lin was also surprised after listening to Su Yi's introduction, "There are so many bandits gathered in this Qingyun Village!" ”

"Not bad." Su Yi said with a calm face: "At present, in terms of strength, Qingyunzhai has the upper hand, although the officers and soldiers are huge, they are all rabble such as the people, and these bandits are all elite, and the thousand Wuhuan cavalry alone should not be underestimated." ”

Cheng Lin hurriedly asked, "How many people are helping Qingyunzhai this time?" ”

Su Yi frowned and said: "There are more than 10,000 thieves in Qingyun Village, and the reinforcements of the rest of the cottage add up to more than 20,000 people, which is equivalent to the number of officials and soldiers in Shangjun County, but the official army encircled and suppressed Qingyun Village is a tough battle, the number of people on both sides is equal, and there are many people in the official army who have not been on the battlefield, I am afraid that this battle is not optimistic." ”

Cheng Lin also realized that the situation was not good, and said: "No, we have to notify the government quickly, otherwise the 30,000 troops sent by Shangjun County may be trapped in the vertical and horizontal mountain ranges." Su Yi said lightly: "Don't worry, notify the government at this time, they may not believe our words, besides, Shi Qingyun is not at ease with us, he will definitely send someone to monitor us during this time, once he sends someone to contact the government, I am afraid that the matter will be leaked, and then we will be divided by this group of angry bandits." ”

"What then?" Cheng Lin was also a little anxious, she didn't have a good impression of the bandits and bandits, and subconsciously wanted to stand on the side of the government.

Su Yi said: "Let them fight, only if they lose both, we can reap the benefits of the fisherman." This Qingyun Village is well defended, and there are heavy machine crossbows and other weapons of great destruction, if the official army does not have enough siege weapons, it is difficult to capture Qingyun Village. ”

Cheng Lin sighed: "It's a pity, so many bandit leaders gather in Qingyun Village, if you can catch them all, it will be a great achievement." Usually they are in their respective cottages, and it is not easy to trap them, but this is a rare opportunity. ”

Su Yi smiled: "Miss, you have too much appetite, right?" Let's not talk about whether you can capture these thieves, even if you can kill them, do you think the credit will go to you? ”

"That's just as well." Cheng Lin pouted and said, "Anyway, the credit won't fall on my head, so let them kill and lose." ”

"In fact, the government has lost this war from the beginning."

Cheng Linqi said: "Why is this? Shangjun County has sent 30,000 troops, and there are more than 20,000 garrisons in Shangjun County, and there are also a lot of townsmen, and the follow-up troops are sufficient, can't they capture this small Qingyun Village? As long as the Liu family is willing to spend money, and the government issues another order to pay bandits, those Jianghu knights can recruit a lot! ”

Su Yi asked, "Have you thought about a question?" Will those charlatans participate in siege warfare? ”

"What do you mean?"

"These chivalrous men are all cunning and cunning, let them kill some bandits in the field, and mix some military exploits, but let them join the siege city and go to the government to sell their lives, they don't have to think about it at all. Without them, can they capture this Qingyun Village with only those Minzhuang and Jiading guards? ”

Cheng Lin also knew that what Su Yi said was the truth, and nodded: "This is indeed the truth, so what should we do?" ”

"I can only let these bandits and the officers and soldiers fight in the field, if they insist on holding the city, then I have nothing to do, once they are willing to go out of the city to meet the soldiers and horses of the upper county, then our opportunity will come."
