Chapter 344: A Strategy to Lure the Enemy
After Su Yi and the others arrived at Oolong Village, although Yunping held a feast, he did not trust them, but simply placed Su Yi's subordinates, and the core of Oolong Village, such as the treasury and granary, never allowed Su Yi and others to approach.
In this regard, Gao Heihu was naturally dissatisfied, he didn't know that Su Yi was here to eat black and ransack the warehouse of Wulong Village, Gao Heihu was upright, if he told him the plan in advance, he was afraid that he would show his feet on Wulong Village.
Because of this, when Gao Heihu saw that Yun Ping was wary of them, he was immediately furious, and the Lishi Army under his command was the most casualty on this trip, so you can imagine how big the anger in his heart was.
After Su Yi's troops and horses killed on Oolong Mountain, the officers and soldiers did not dare to concentrate all their forces on the front mountain, and Master Cheng's soldiers and horses were also arranged to go to the flank, responsible for detecting and exterminating some bandits who were not strong, and the troops and horses in front of them were stationed in the back mountain to prevent other bandits from killing on the back mountain.
At the same time, the officers and men under the mountain were stationed on the road, and when they could not block the road up the mountain, the officers and men of Liaodong simply set up a checkpoint every 200 meters, sent archers to be stationed around the checkpoint, and blocked the roads on both sides with firepower.
Originally, this Liaodong army didn't expect Cheng Wenyuan's private army to play any role, they just wanted to fight quickly, and an unpopular cottage like Wulongzhai didn't even have the qualifications to be their opponents.
Therefore, they were also a little light at the beginning of the mountain, and at this time, they arranged these levels, obviously wanting to fight a protracted battle with the bandits of Wulong Village. Yun Ping had been paying attention to the dynamics under the mountain, and when he saw the officials and troops putting on such a formation, he was immediately shocked.
Originally, he wanted to rely on the grain stored in the village and the dead consumption of the officers and soldiers, but in his mind, this army of officers and soldiers would not carry much grain and grass during a long-distance attack, and the two sides would consume each other, and the grain stocks of the officers and soldiers would definitely not be able to support it first. It can be seen that the officers and soldiers actually set up a village and deployed defenses layer by layer, obviously wanting to fight a protracted war with Wulong Village.
The officers and soldiers of Liaodong are strong in combat, and many bandits from the source are in a wait-and-see state, once they cannot break through the blockade of the official army, they can only withdraw their troops, and then the Wulong Village will really be alone. In addition, what really worries Yunping is the catapult that the officers and soldiers have not used much.
This kind of catapult is extremely lethal, the city fortifications of the Oolong Village can not withstand the repeated bombardment of these catapults, it is a fact that the Oolong Village has a lot of grain storage, but if it can't last a few days and is broken by the officers and soldiers of the cottage, then the storage of grain is useless.
However, within a few days, a series of blows came to his face, and Yun Ping actually saw curling smoke wafting from the camp tents of the officers and soldiers, and the bandits stationed halfway up the mountain could even smell the smell of meat.
Yun Ping was stunned for a moment, the officers and soldiers not only had enough food and grass, but also carried meat such as cattle and sheep? Before he could react, the next round of attack by the officers and soldiers had already begun, this time no longer blindly rushing up the mountain, but first launching ten catapults, and then the huge stones shot towards the Wulong Village like sharp arrows off the string.
These ten catapults are just the beginning, and then ten catapults are pushed to the front of the formation, and after the first ten catapults are projected, the back ten catapults immediately project huge stones onto Oolong Mountain, and after the back ten catapults are projected, the front catapults have been filled with stones, just to have a seamless docking.
The catapult not only has great lethality, but also can hit the enemy's morale, the bandits on the mountain can only bite the bullet and throw the stone with both hands, while the catapult under the mountain can launch huge stones one after another, and the gap between the two sides is immediately apparent.
Su Yi is also on Oolong Mountain, at first Yunping wanted Su Yi to take his subordinates down to fight, but Su Yi is actually the kind of person who is willing to be cannon fodder for others? When Gao Heihu and the others squinted angrily, Yun Ping could only retreat, and at the same time, what alerted Yun Ping was that although he didn't trust Su Yi very much, the battle that Su Yi fought in the back mountain was really beautiful, and the owners of the village who were besieged on Oolong Mountain all put their hopes on Su Yi's army.
These people can become the owners of the cottage, all of them are human spirits, so they can naturally see Yun Ping's distrust of Su Yi, and they also know that Su Yi's subordinates are not doing well on Oolong Mountain these days, at least the supply of food is too bad compared to other bandits.
Su Yi didn't care about Yun Ping's attitude, what surprised him was the reaction of the officers and soldiers under the mountain, it stands to reason that the officers and soldiers can only fight quickly, and once the theater is formed, it will definitely be the officers and soldiers of Liaodong who will suffer from the long-distance attack.
However, the officers and soldiers under the mountain put on a plan to consume the Wulong Village, except for throwing boulders with catapults every day, the soldiers were all stationed at the bottom of the mountain, and there was no intention to take the initiative to launch an attack on the Wulong Mountain, which became a clear contrast with the previous crazy attack on the mountain.
Finally, Yun Ping couldn't help it, he found Su Yi and told Su Yiming his thoughts, "Brother Pei, in my opinion, this army has a lot of food in stock, and it is not a way to consume it like this, the cottage is dying every day, and there are really too many catapults of the officers and soldiers, if I hadn't appeased the brothers in the cottage with a lot of money, I am afraid that they would have collapsed long ago." Even so, many bandits who were not determined to climb down the mountain in the middle of the night and surrendered to the officers and soldiers below. ”
Su Yi looked at Yun Ping coldly, and sure enough, it didn't take long for the master of Yun Dazhai to reveal his true colors.
"Brother Pei, in the long run, I'm afraid that if the officers and soldiers don't attack the mountain, the brothers in the village will run away first, and the catapult under the mountain will have to find a way to solve it!"
Su Yi's heart suddenly jumped, judging from the previous signs, could it be that the officers and soldiers wanted to lure the bandits of Wulong Village down the mountain, and then take the opportunity to annihilate them at the bottom of the mountain? Thinking about it carefully, there is indeed this possibility, if Su Yi led his troops to attack Wulong Village, the first choice was not to storm this method, the casualties in the attack were too great, and the best way was to lure the enemy down the mountain and annihilate it in the field.
Although Su Yi thought of this stubble, he didn't have any intention of reminding Yun Ping, he said disapprovingly: "Those catapults can play a very small role, as long as everyone sticks to the cottage, are you afraid of him with only twenty catapults?" He has the ability to throw soldiers up the mountain! ”
Yun Ping looked at Su Yi with a black line, thinking about how he couldn't carry this goods, so he had no choice but to say patiently: "Brother Pei, brother wants someone to rush down the mountain and ...... those twenty catapults."
"Then I wish Lord Yunzhai success!" Su Yi arched his hand to Yun Ping, turned around and left.
"Huh?" Yun Ping was dumbfounded all of a sudden, he originally wanted Su Yi to take people down the mountain to destroy those catapults, but he didn't expect this person to be so alert, he gritted his teeth, and Yun Ping chased after him. (To be continued.) )
