After Hu Le suddenly realized that his opponent was not a sailor soldier, but a group of water bandits, he immediately made a decision: "Since this is the case, then our action this time will be a change from what we set before." Our goal is to directly target the Xu family's manor and directly surround and kill the Xu family's water bandits. In addition, send a small team of men and horses to attack and kill the outpost at the exit of this inner lake, open the fence of the water wall, let our ships enter, and block the possibility of the other party's ships escaping. It's a pity that these ships were damaged, so we took them all down and became ours. ”

"We landed three miles to the east, and the fleet went straight to the other side's water camp. The soldiers who landed on our land were divided into two routes, the large group of men and horses went straight to the Xu family manor, and the other team of men and horses took the lead in raiding the water area to patrol the water bandits, and then seize the opponent's ships. Wouldn't have expected us to raid them. As for the raid, Xu Wenle, you took two hundred people to participate in this operation, and you are familiar with this kind of thing. ”

"When you succeed, you set fire to us. And when we saw the signal that the water camp was on fire, we rushed in. Eliminate the Xu family bandits. After completely eliminating them, our brigade immediately rushed to the water camp, then boarded the boat and left the place as fast as possible. By the time the garrison of Wuxing County reacted, we had already left. Hu Le said with a twinkle in his eyes.

"The subordinates obey the order, and the general can rest assured that the ships of the Xu family bandits will all be ours." Xu Wenle said with a smile on his face. Independent leadership, this is also what Xu Wenle has always wanted.

After landing, Xu Wenle took the lead in leading people straight to the water camp of the Xu family bandits. After approaching the water bandit water camp, looking at the dark water camp and the few faint lights, Xu Wenle shook his head. In the land of water camp, the guard is so lax, and it is normal for someone to raid and take it down.

In addition, with the faint light of the place where the water bandits gathered at the back of the water camp, Xu Wenle also saw the general situation of the water bandits. This place is a good place, but unfortunately, the owner who camped here is not a capable person. Where the ships came ashore, there was not even a regular dock. Also, generally. For the safety of the warship mooring, outside the river. Basically, there will be some kind of cover, such as a fort with trebuchets or large ballistas. Even if there is no fortress, choose a narrow waterway somewhere, and place large crossbows and trebuchets on both sides of the waterway to threaten the safety of enemy warships from land. Here, there is nothing, the only thing left is a proposed wooden fence that blocks the exit.

"Let's go on, divide into four teams and act separately. Remember, it's best not to make any noise. Grab a prisoner first, find out what is going on, and make sure to clear all the bandits, open the wooden fence in front of us, and let the sailors on our ships come and drive them away. Xu Wenle ordered in a deep voice.

"Lord Captain, look, there is a building boat in the water!" Li Xingyan, who was acting with Xu Wenle, looked at the huge black shadow docked among the bandit warships in the inner lake, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Okay, don't be surprised, among the sailors of our Jieyi Army, there are also building boats, and moreover, they are bed crossbows. The catapult-ridden ship is even bigger than this. When you return to Songling Water Camp, you will see that these ships are nothing. Let's get moving, you come with me. Remember, don't make any other noise. With that, Xu Wenle took a pair of people and began to move towards the place where the lights were lit.

When Xu Wenle acted, Hu Le also took the rest of the men and horses and ran towards the Xu family manor. Their goal is to lurk outside the Xu family manor, see the opportunity to launch an attack, and take down the Xu family manor in one fell swoop.

According to the information provided by the Shadow Guard and the Li family, there are nearly 2,000 bandits in the Xu family, and now, although they have obtained the armor and equipment supported by the Qi army, they have not entered the training of the Qi army. The number of rebels involved in the operation was 1,000. Although most of them are composed of water bandits from the Li family, in the past few days, they have undergone simple training by the soldiers of the Jieyi army, and they are also equipped with the armor and equipment provided by the Jieyi army, especially the strong bow and crossbow.

In fact, the combat ability of the water bandits is still good, however, without training, they have more individual capabilities than overall combat capabilities. Therefore, in the past few days, Hu Le let the Jieyi soldiers he had summoned to train these 800 water bandits to fight as a whole and cooperate with each other. Hu Le is not worried about his personal abilities, and of course, he has no time to train them. When they enter the water division, they will naturally be trained. Among them, if you are suitable to be a sailor, you will join the sailor, and if you are not suitable, you will naturally be incorporated into the Jieyi Army.

However, in order to prevent the water bandits from detecting, Hu Le still ordered a pair of soldiers to explore the way in front and carefully approach the target, but fortunately, it is obvious that Xu Yangcheng and other water bandits really did not expect that Hu Le would retaliate against them a few days later, let alone that Hu Le would come at night, and there was no manpower from the sailors of the Jieyi Army.

In fact, Xu Yangcheng has always been guarding against Hu Le's revenge. However, he knew that Hu Le, the officers of the Jieyi Army who came to persuade him to surrender, did not have many fleets with him. Therefore, Xu Yang Chengcai left the mansion in Xinqiao Town and returned to live in this manor. After all, there are nearly 2,000 men here, and all of them are brave men. In addition, after defecting to the Qi army, there will be no problem for them to show up in the open.

Yes, Xu Yangcheng stationed here, relying on these water bandits, no, now it should be called the protection of the Qi army's water soldiers. From what they knew, Hu Le's fleet and manpower didn't dare to attack this place at all. Unless Hu Le draws the Rebel Sailor. If that's the case, there will naturally be a Qi army to deal with it. This is the jurisdiction of Wuxing County, and it is the jurisdiction of the Qi army. It's a big deal to give up the ship and evacuate backwards, and the Jieyi army still dares to kill on land?

And the fine work of the Qi army has never been shown to be transferred by the Jieyi Army's water division, so Xu Yangcheng is not worried that Hu Le will attack here. It shouldn't be that he wasn't worried, but he didn't expect that Hu Le would form another team of bandits and attack him at night.

"General, we're back!" The scouts sent made a smooth return.

"How's it going?"

"General, Xu Family Manor, unaware! We have already captured three prisoners, and according to the interrogation, the main personnel of the Xu family and the leaders of the bandits are all in the manor. ”

Hearing this, Hu Le couldn't help but be overjoyed and said with a smile: "Very good!" This time, we want to catch them all. We don't just want the other bandits to know what the consequences will be if we do something to the people of our righteous army. In addition, it also made the matter of Qi Jun's recruitment of water bandits an empty talk. The order went down, and immediately approached the manor, approaching five hundred meters and waiting for news from the water camp. ”

Immediately, under the leadership of the scout, Hu Le divided his subordinates into two groups, and surrounded the Xu family manor from the north and south respectively. Because the north of the Xu family manor is their water camp, and the southwest of Xinqiao Town is also a direct road to Wuxing County. Therefore, the Xu family manor has two portals before and after. Since they want to wipe out all the Xu family bandits, they naturally can't let them escape.

Sure enough, when the team approached the Xu Family Manor, the Xu Family Manor was very silent, and no sound could be heard in silence. Through the scouts, it was learned that there were no sentry agents around the Xu family's manor, only at the gate of the mansion, there were several water bandits guarding it. In addition, on both sides of the palace gate, there is an arrow tower, on which there are two water bandits on duty. Now, though, they're probably all sleeping on it. Hu Le led the army to approach hundreds of meters, and he could see the water bandits leaning on the pillar on the opponent's arrow tower, but the other party did not have any abnormality, so you can imagine how lax the defense here is.

Of course, this is also because the bandits are not soldiers. However, after all, they used to be water bandits, and even the three eyes of the old nest were relaxed like this, so that Hu Le, who was careful and careful, couldn't help but shake his head and sigh. The reason why this is so is also because these water bandits were recruited by the Qi army. Because they are now officers and soldiers, they no longer worry about the encirclement and suppression of the government. And here, apart from the government, there is no force more powerful than them.

"Okay, let's wait here for Xu Wenle's news." Hu Le ordered in a deep voice. He was also muttering secretly in his heart, hoping that Xu Wenle would go well.

Half an hour later, Hu Le and the others finally waited for the exact news, and the water camp of the water bandits finally caught fire, which also showed that the hundreds of ships of the water bandits had now fallen into their own hands. In order to do something to the Xu family, in addition to more than 1,000 soldiers, the accompanying ships were also equipped with many sailors. They can't fight, but they still have no problem sailing. In other words, from the very beginning, Hu Le had the idea of capturing the opponent's ships. For the sailors of the Jieyi Army, as long as there are warships, the sailors are not a problem. After all, this is the waters of Taihu Lake, and there are not a few people who know how to water.

"Kill!" Seeing that the guard on duty at the Xu family manor, who was alarmed by the fire, had already noticed it, Hu Le immediately let out a loud shout.

As soon as Hu Le gave the order, the impatient soldiers who had been waiting for a long time rushed forward and quickly rushed to the Xu family manor. There were several water bandits guarding outside the village, but before they could react, they were shot to death by the sharpshooters carefully arranged by Hu Le. Even several water bandits on the arrow tower were also shot at the first time. However, the water bandits on the arrow tower had already issued a warning signal when the water camp caught fire. However, this is no longer important to Hu Le.

With the entry of the army, for a while, the silent Xu family manor became boiling, and the screams and exclamations were endless, as if it had exploded.

The water bandits in the manor did not expect to be attacked at this time, and they were completely dazed by the attack led by Hu Le, and they were at a loss. In the manor, most of the bandits were still asleep, and with the continuous exclamations, they also hurriedly got up, and for a while, they couldn't figure out what was going on.

"Who are you? What are you going to do? ”

"Damn...... Who are you? ”

"Where's the enemy? Kill me, brothers! ”

Many of the water bandits have become ghosts under the knife amid all kinds of screams. They didn't know who had been poisoned until they died, and they were chopped to death by the wolf-like righteous soldiers, blood splattered, and flesh and bones separated. Only a few water bandits reacted, these were enemies, they wanted to resist, they wanted to make others resist, but they were all shot by the people of the Jieyi Army.

In the center of the Xu family's manor, Xu Yangcheng and other water bandit leaders who were awakened were shocked when they saw the chaotic manor, and their faces were as shocked as earth. Immediately ordered the water bandits below to start a counterattack. However, until now, it is still unclear who attacked them. Xu Yangcheng faintly guessed that these people might be related to the Jieyi Army, and immediately arranged for several strong men to prepare to go out from the back door and ask for help from Wuxing County. It's a pity that now that he has woken up, it is too late, Hu Le has already arranged a front and rear attack, and the righteous soldiers in the manor have also infiltrated all corners of the manor.

In late autumn, the nights are already a little cool, so the bandits go to bed early and sleep comfortably. Even if it is a regular army, when it encounters this kind of night attack, it will be caught off guard, let alone these water bandits. One can imagine how much combat effectiveness these people can exert when they are suddenly attacked.

And the Jieyi Army has already trained the Li family's water bandits, who are also the current recruits of the Jieyi Army, and in the face of this situation, they have already been fully prepared, and they have also been specially trained before. Usually it was the righteous sergeant who stood guard outside the door of the manor, and when he saw someone running out in a panic, he stabbed him in the head, and then brandished a long knife into the house, regardless of the three, seven, twenty-one, and slashing, as long as he was alive or standing, all of them were within the range of their attack. After the slashing, there was no living person in the house.

Li Mingjie, Li Minghai, Li Mingfan and others all took a team of men and horses, brandished the refined long knife in their hands, and took the lead in entering the manor. In other words, even if the Li family brothers have been in the water bandits for many years, they have never killed anyone like this.

In addition, there are more righteous soldiers, with bows and arrows, specifically attacking those water bandits who are struggling to fight back, further breaking the resistance of the water bandits. Whenever there was a small group that struggled to resist, they were often the first to be shot by the archers of the Righteous Army. Soon after, Hu Le and other people from all walks of life captured all the key points of the Xu family manor. And Xu Yangcheng and other water bandit leaders, seeing that the situation was wrong, also thought about escaping through the back door, but they got the situation that there was also a surprise attack by the enemy behind them. As a last resort, Xu Yangcheng and other water bandit leaders, under the support of their subordinates, retreated towards the center of the manor.

"Hell, there's a big crossbow here! And so much armor and strong bows. Fortunately, these bandits were unguarded and did not use these things, otherwise, our casualties would have been quite large. After seizing a treasury in the manor, Li Mingjie looked at the contents and couldn't help exclaiming.

Qiu Shan, a veteran of the Jieyi Army and a captain who was also transferred by Hu Le, said with a smile: "These are all the equipment of the division, and these bandits will definitely not be able to get it." Come to think of it, these are all assigned by them to the Qi army and the Qi army. And these bandits don't train, so these armor and equipment are stored in the warehouse, waiting for them to be used when they go out to fight. Move them out, and move them out after the war. We don't dislike these things. ”

"More than a dozen large crossbows, hundreds of strong bows and crossbows, the water bandits did not use it for a day, and they were captured by the Jieyi army. If the people of the Qi army learned about these situations, they would definitely be angry. Li Minghai shook his head and smiled.

In the end, the entire manor was taken by the Jieyi army, and Xu Yangcheng and dozens of other bandit leaders hid in the inner courtyard of the center of the last manor, and had to come forward to confront the attackers. While Hu Le sent people to move the seizures in the manor, he began to besiege and kill the last enemies.

"Who are you? Why raid us? Don't you know that this is already the sailor team of the Qi army? Do you want to rebel if you do this? Seeing the leader of the attackers approaching, Xu Yangcheng gritted his teeth and said.

"Xu Yangcheng, you don't think that we are nearby water bandits, right? I forgot to tell you, I, you should be familiar with it. Of course, you haven't met me yet. Tell you, I'm the negotiator sent by the Sailor of the Jieyi Army that you prepared to ambush before. Hu Le said coldly.

"The people of the Righteous Army? Sure enough, I didn't expect you to actually come, and you raided my manor with so many people. Presumably, the water camp was also raided by you. Hearing this, Xu Yangcheng smiled bitterly and said in a deep voice, "Since we have failed to ambush you, and now your army has also broken my lair." I, Xu Yangcheng, am willing to give all the property in the manor and the boat in the northwest water camp as a gift of reparation, and I hope that the adult can spare my life for the sake of Xu's sincerity, I ......"

"Haha...... Joke! Hu Le laughed out loud and said coldly: "Your gift of reparation? Now, everything here is ours. We don't need you to send it, we can use the knife and gun in our hands to get it ourselves. Presumably, these belongings were also robbed by you, Xu Yangcheng, with knives and guns. What we do today is the result of your own past. Our righteous army and the Qi army are enemies, and anyone who defects to the Qi army is also our enemy. So, whether you shoot at us or not, you're dead! Use your head to warn others to consider whether it's worth it before making a decision. Come on, shoot me! ”

"You ......" Before Xu Yangcheng could speak, he was shot into a hedgehog by the crossbowmen of the Jieyi Army who had already been prepared. It can be seen from Xu Yangcheng's angry and powerless eyes that if he knew that the situation would be like this, he was afraid that he would not have attacked the people of the Jieyi Army in the first place. Of course, the current Xu Yangcheng has no chance to regret it.

After Xu Yangcheng was shot, the rest of the bandit leaders did not fall, and they were all shot by the Jieyi Army one by one. Even if these bandit leaders were wailing at the moment to surrender, how could Hu Le accept these leaders who had no effect?
