Chapter 236: Back to the Mountain
During Su Yi's time in Dongyang County, Liu Shisan, Qian Bao and Li Goudan, with the cooperation of Zhang Hongsheng and others, completed the repair of the Southern Wilderness Forest, and now the Southern Wilderness Forest has become a military powerhouse, the main road is paved with bluestone slabs, and the fortifications are also very well repaired.
Especially at the end of the Yongji Canal, the two city walls built are quite strong, and the first and second city walls are covered with weapons such as spikes, and the mounds piled up in the forest have also become small fortresses one after another under the construction of Qian Bao and others.
Scar laid 20,000 soldiers and horses in the Southern Wilderness Forest, although he ordered the soldiers of the cottage not to take the initiative to cross the Southern Wilderness Forest, but there were still a few unruly bandits, on this side of the Southern Wilderness Forest, the constant archery interference towards the Yongji Canal.
Many Hu people died under the arrows of these bandits, which angered the Hu tribe.
The Hu tribe once launched an attack on the Southern Wilderness Forest, but the fortifications of the Southern Wilderness Forest were really terrifying, and these Hu people wearing rough leather armor did not even cross a wall.
Although these Hu people have outstanding archery skills, they have no choice but to have lush foliage at this end of the South Barren Forest, and there are too many places to avoid in the forest, which is not conducive to the Hu people aiming at the target.
Some brave Hu warriors, when the night came, sneaked into the southern wilderness forest.
After stepping over the first wall, he stepped on the trap between the first wall and the second wall, and was either pierced by the wooden thorn fence or stepped on the spikes, and the Hu people who wanted to sneak attack the southern barren forest were frightened and frightened, and after leaving a dozen companions, they fled back to Yongji Canal in a hurry.
The next day, Qian Leopard led people to cut off the heads of more than a dozen Hu people who were connected in the trap with a smile and hung them above the wall to deter the Hu people opposite.
After the failure of the first sneak attack, these Hu tribes organized several more sneak attacks. Once again, he actually let a team of Hu people touch into the southern barren forest. These Hu people took advantage of the night to kill the thieves who were on guard, but unfortunately they only entered the barren forest, and they were turned on their backs by the people who were lying in ambush on the trees at night and did not shoot at night.
The Hu people, who had suffered several big losses, no longer dared to have a peeping heart for the Southern Barren Forest, and finally, after these Hu people were divided for a period of time, due to the continuous contradictions between each other, the Hu tribes in Yongji Canal even broke out a large-scale war.
He Kui's night was not closed in the South Barren Forest to peek at the situation on the other side, and Zhang Hongsheng wanted to lead people to rush through the South Barren Forest several times and sweep away the Hu people in Yongji Canal. Unfortunately, in the end, he could not muster up the courage to order the troops.
During the time when Su Yi was not in Taohuazhai, Zhang Hongsheng was cautious and did not dare to send troops to attack Yongji Canal at will.
The main battle faction led by Meng Hai was naturally quite dissatisfied with this, although Zhang Hongsheng was the military advisor of Taohuazhai, he was inferior to Su Yi in terms of courage and courage.
He was also clever in Meng Hai and Fang Jing, and often led thieves down the mountain to attack some dilapidated cottages that were attacked by the rogues, and grabbed a lot of food and resources for Taohua Village.
On the other hand, the blacksmiths of the cottage, under the leadership of Qin Yu, produced horseshoes and stirrups on a large scale.
Cavalry armed with stirrups and horseshoes. In the Zongheng Mountain Range, the horse bandits of other mountain bandits were beaten and their armor was abandoned, and Lu Feng once led the cavalry of Taohua Village to rush to the depths of the Zongheng Mountain Range, and even fought with the horse bandits of Baihu Village.
As a result, under the command of Lu Feng. The cavalry of Taohuazhai actually beat the fierce horse bandits of Baihuzhai and escaped more than ten miles away when their troops were at a disadvantage, and Lu Feng even beheaded several leaders of Baihuzhai in a row in the battle.
The city wall of Taohuazhai is strong. All kinds of fortifications were built, and some of the rogues were shot down by the archers who were lying in ambush on the towers before they could even rush to the gate of the fortress.
There was once a gang of rogues lying in ambush near Peach Blossom Village. After the transport team of the Taohuazhai platoon to the southern barren forest left the village, these rogues quickly attacked the transport team, and Lu Feng, who learned the news, immediately returned with cavalry to reinforce the transport team.
The war horse equipped with the horseshoe charged extremely fast, and soon, this cargo rogue was cleaned up by Lu Feng and others.
In order to deter other rogues, Zhang Hongsheng ordered the heads of these rogues to be cut off and inserted in the path leading to the southern barren forest in the cottage, and countless human heads were inserted along the way.
Zhang Hongsheng's hand really shocked a lot of rogues, and these paths leading to the southern barren forest from the cottage were also temporarily calm.
However, there are too many rogues in the vertical and horizontal mountain ranges, these rogues are not only ferocious, but also have amazing combat effectiveness, they fight life and death in the mountains every day, and the ferocity is far more fierce than those bandits who occupy the mountains as kings, and they are not inferior to the group of barren bandits who were entrenched in the southern barren forest at the beginning.
Many cottages were broken by these rogues, and then these rogues occupied those dilapidated cottages, and began to erect banners and proclaim themselves kings, but before these rogues could gain a firm foothold, they were wiped out by another group of rogues rushing up to the cottage.
In this way, every day in the vertical and horizontal mountain ranges, the story of the rogue attacking the mountain, the cottage being robbed, and the rogue occupying the mountain is the king.
Su Yi didn't stay in Dongyang County for a few days, and then he got out of the appointment given to him by Liu Yu, and he temporarily acted as the county magistrate of Shangjun.
After leaving Dongyang County, Su Yi quickly went to the rented courtyard outside the city, and took away all the wrestlers and sword and shield soldiers left by Gao Heihu, and didn't even have time to say goodbye to Li Hun.
At the same time, Su Yi also ordered Ma Bin and other martial artists to keep up with the team, these heroes of the rivers and lakes saw the fierce face of the wrestlers, all of them were frightened and turned blue, except for Ma Bin and a few of his disciples, how dare these people in the rivers and lakes walk side by side with the wrestlers of the high black tiger.
Su Yi looked straight and shook his head, he knew that it would be difficult for a while and a half to train these old fritters who were in the rivers and lakes into an elite soldier who was forbidden by order, just begging them not to drag themselves back at a critical moment.
Over the years in Dongyang County, the Ma Martial Arts Hall has gathered a lot of silver, and Ma Bin has also transported a lot of treasures out of the city, and at the same time, Su Yi also found several design drawings of heavy machine crossbows in the cargo box transported by Ma Bin.
Shocked, Su Yi hurriedly asked Ma Bin about the source of these design drawings, Ma Bin shrugged his shoulders, saying that these were left by Ma Lao Dart, as for where he got it, he didn't know, and the last two could only attribute it to Ma Lao Dart's perennial dart, well-informed, and Lu Ziye had many friends.
Carefully hiding the design of the heavy crossbow, Su Yi led a group of people to the Red Jade Villa, now Youzhou is constantly plagued, although there are many people on Su Yi's side, but you need to be cautious along the way.
Outside Dongyang County, Su Yi could even see some spies of red-clothed thieves, although these spies were quickly besieged and killed by the scouts of the imperial court, Su Yi also realized that the balance of this war had gradually tilted towards Tian Million's side (to be continued). )
