Chapter 300: Hold your ground

A few days later, He Kui sent someone to send back the news that Liu 13 had set up camp outside Mangdang Mountain, and did not continue to go deep into Mangdang Mountain.

Su Yi pondered for a while, knowing that this was the personal guard that Liu Shisan had already seen sent by himself. In order to appease Liu Shisan, he pretended in the letter that he had discovered the flaws in Baihu Village, and asked Liu Shisan to calm down for a while, and when he came over with the army, he would exterminate Dumu Village with Liu Shisan, and repel the thieves in Baihu Village.

During this period of time, the White Tiger Village also sent some soldiers and horses to fight with Liu 13, the two sides had each other's casualties, Liu 13 relied on the advantages of sword and shield soldiers and pikemen, and actually withstood several attacks of the enemy, fought steadily, and set up camp in a decent manner, and never gave the enemy any chance to take advantage of it.

Liu Shisan is ruthless, although it concerns his brother, but after he is impulsive, he quickly calmed down, plus Su Yi sent someone to inform Liu Shisan that Taohuazhai was about to send a large army to attack Mangdang Mountain, so that he could not be impatient, just wait for the two sides to gather, and then take the Dumu Village in one fell swoop.

In the letter, Su Yi also explained that Liu Shisan fought steadily, set up camp in time, and arranged fortifications such as traps and horse rejection.

He Kuitan understood that there were about 20,000 soldiers and horses sent by Huzhai this time, all of them horse bandits, and there were not many foot soldiers, which also made Su Yi even more convinced that the horse bandits in Baihuzhai did not carry much grain and grass here.

The pikemen and sword and shield soldiers brought down the mountain by Liu 13, once they form a spear array and a shield array, they are the best troops to restrain the cavalry, especially the spear array, with the cooperation of the sword and shield soldiers, it is difficult to be defeated by the cavalry in a short time.

What's more, the horse bandits in Baihu Village are all horse thieves, and their combat effectiveness is not even as good as the Hu people's rangers, not to mention compared with the elite heavy cavalry of the imperial court. Unless it is at all costs, regardless of any casualties, it may be possible to take Liu Shisan and others from the front.

Of course, with Su Yi's understanding of the White Tiger Village, it would be impossible for them to spend such a big price to gnaw at the other party's infantry.

What is really difficult is the infantry of the single-plank village, Ji Fu does not have many horse bandits, she relies on foot bandits, once these people have a melee with the army under Liu Shisan, when the two sides are stalemate, Liu Shisan's subordinates can no longer set up a good formation. At this time, once the horse bandits of Baihu Village launched a charge and made an indiscriminate attack, then Liu Shisan and the others could only flee.

It's just that in this way, the estrangement between Dumu Village and Baihu Village will become deeper and deeper.

Baihu Village came from afar, and Dumu Village is just a vassal cottage of Baihu Village, and after a long time, there will naturally be a gap between the two sides.

At that time, Su Yi can take advantage of the contradictions between the two sides to carry out a divisive plan, judging from the current behavior of Baihu Village. They didn't seem to know the situation in Chifengling, that is, Ji Fu had been hiding from Bai Song and the others from beginning to end.

Judging from the situation of Baihuzhai's troops, it is most likely that Bai Song was bewitched by Ji Fu.

First of all, Baihuzhai sent 20,000 horse bandits, with no infantry and no archers. It shows that they just want to make a quick decision, fast forward and retreat, then they are definitely not because of the iron ore in Chifeng Ridge to do it to Lu Feng and the others.

It's just that as soon as the White Tiger Village came, it built a cottage within the sphere of influence of the Peach Blossom Village. deliberately induced Scar to attack the village, and then ambushed Lu Feng's five hundred cavalry, judging from this kind of behavior. Baihuzhai seems to only want to explore the reality of Taohuazhai, and has no plans to attack the village on a large scale, otherwise, Baihuzhai would not only send 20,000 horse bandits.

With Bai Song's character, if he knew that Su Yi was the culprit who ambushed Baihu Village in the first place, he would definitely raise troops to commit it, and he would never send only 20,000 horse bandits.

Of course, it is also possible that the White Tiger Village is afraid of the current strength of the Peach Blossom Village, and takes the opportunity to test the reality of the Peach Blossom Village.

No matter what the purpose of the White Tiger Village is, Su Yi will never let go of the 20,000 horse bandits.

The original scope of activities of the White Tiger Village has always been in Liaodong and Guanwai, and has never involved the territory of Youzhou, at this time it actually stretched out its hand to the Peach Blossom Village, if you don't take this opportunity to beat them down, I'm afraid that the White Tiger Village will be more unscrupulous.

The rapid rise of Taohuazhai can also bring about many hidden dangers.

If Peach Blossom Village has been smooth sailing, these thieves may still honestly stay in the cottage and serve Su Yi, but once Taohuazhai falls into adversity, these bandits who are mixed by all forces will only scatter in a hurry, and even counterattack Su Yi and others, taking the opportunity to cause trouble.

At the same time, the peach blossom village is not like the white tiger village, in the vertical and horizontal mountains of the deep roots, although the peach blossom village wall is tall, and two cottages are erected around, plus the garrison of the southern barren forest, the sphere of influence is only this acre of three points, and the white tiger village all over the affiliated cottages is still not comparable.

At present, Peach Blossom Village is a solid castle, and even if the White Tiger Village comes to attack, it may not be able to take the Peach Blossom Village. But if the White Tiger Village does not have the idea of attacking the mountain, but only ambushes the thieves who come down the mountain in Taohuazhai, it can also bring a lot of trouble to Taohuazhai.

There are not many talents under Su Yi's command, although there are no effective generals in Baihu Village, but their power is huge, and the middle-level talents far exceed those in Taohua Village.

This time, Scar was captured, Zhang Hongsheng and Lu Feng were wounded, and Su Yi lost three right-hand men at once, and had to transfer back the men and horses of Nanhuanglin and Yongji Canal, otherwise he would have no one to use.

Fortunately, the remnants of the Hu people in Yongji Canal have been almost wiped out, otherwise the Hu people will take this opportunity to counterattack Yongji Canal, and the Yongji Canal that has just arrived may not be saved.

In order to prevent the Hu people who had slipped through the net from targeting the fat of Yongji Canal, Su Yi sent people to Shangjun County to inform Ma Bin and instructed him to keep an eye on the situation near Yongji Canal, and once most of the people with suspicious behavior approached Yongji Canal, they would immediately send troops.

After all, the foundation of Peach Blossom Village is still a little shallow, and the strength of the cottage cannot withstand a two-front battle, Su Yi can only pray that there will be no problems on the side of Yongji Canal, and then quickly free up his hands to solve the troubles of Mangdang Mountain.

There are only 20,000 horse bandits in Mangdang Mountain, as long as they do not plunge into the ambush of the other party, fight head-on, Taohuazhai is not afraid of these 20,000 horse bandits, the relationship between many cottages and single-plank villages in Mangdang Mountain is delicate, this time there are 20,000 horse bandits in Baihuzhai suddenly run to Mangdang Mountain, which will definitely arouse the vigilance of these cottages, if this opportunity can be used well, it is also an opportunity to win the single-tree village.

Su Yi looked coldly at the information sent back by He Kui, and a chill flashed in his eyes. (To be continued.) )
