Chapter 159: Suppressing Bandits (1)
The law of the bandits' activities is similar to that of the rogues, although it is said that there is a fixed cottage, but in the process of their actions, they are all shooting a shot to change places, seeing that the opponent's strength is insufficient, and attacking to the death, to get benefits and benefits, seeing that the opponent's strength is not ordinary, they may not be able to bear it, so they scatter and flee.
Suppressing bandits is a very complicated matter, large-scale troops are dispatched, they disappear without a trace, and even abandon the cottage and hide in the mountains, and small units of troops come, and they cannot achieve victory, and may even encounter ambushes.
Su Tiancheng thought of these questions, but he still had to take risks.
In fact, the solution is to ask the Xinxiang County Government to be responsible for ensuring the safety along the way, and the disaster relief team avoids these bandits, rushes to Taiyuan as quickly as possible, and after purchasing the corresponding materials, asks the Taiyuan Government to send troops to escort and carry out disaster relief work.
If we are not able to crack down on the arrogance of the bandits, in the future disaster relief work, we may encounter a small group of invasions, interfering with the disaster relief work, Mengjin suffered the disaster of the Yellow River breach, and the bandits in that area may be more.
Besides, bandits gather in the mountains and forests, and it is the common people who are harmed, and since they are patrolling the imperial history and coming to Henan for disaster relief, they have the obligation to exterminate these bandits.
Since the information sent by Jinyiwei mentions Du Laosan, it means that this Du Laosan is very famous in the area of Weihui Mansion, and there must be a lot of bad things to do.
In the long run, defeating Du Laosan will be of great benefit to stabilizing the situation in Henan.
At noon, a large group of homeless people came from the front. Looking at the formation, it is estimated that there are about 2,000 people.
Su Tiancheng's face changed, didn't he say that there were about a thousand people. Why did it suddenly increase, this will increase the trouble, you must know that the sergeants of Xinxiang County, the combat effectiveness is definitely not strong, if these two thousand people attack at the same time. couldn't hold on for long, so that Du Laosan quickly succeeded, and the bandits scattered and fled, it was a big trouble.
These people soon joined up with the group of displaced people behind.
Su Tiancheng was silent, he had to hold on, and he couldn't show an anxious expression.
This may be that Du Laosan temporarily changed his mind, believing that Deng Hui does not know what to do, perhaps in this matter. Du Laosan has reservations.
Soon a sergeant came to report, Deng Hui was still the core figure among the two thousand homeless people, they talked as they walked, obviously discussing something, or maybe asking about something, after all, the more than 100 people who joined in yesterday were gone.
An hour later, Deng Hui finally met Su Tiancheng.
"Deng Hui. When you come to me, are they not suspicious? ”
"Your Excellency. I have already explained that yesterday's brothers were all sent out by me to make the adults not suspicious, and as for the words to see the adults below, the excuse was to petition for the displaced people. We didn't eat, so I would like to ask you to arrange it. ”
"Well, that's a good reason."
Du Laosan suddenly changed his plan, and he didn't know what to do, so he counted it like this. There were more than 2,000 people in ambush in front, but the pressure here had increased, and I was a little worried, so I came to inform the adults. ”
"Do you have any good ideas?"
"I thought of a way, after an hour, I took all the small bosses with me to meet the adults, and the adults could take advantage of the situation to deal with these small leaders, and after doing this, the remaining bandits were leaderless and at a loss, and they did some work appropriately to break their fighting spirit, and it would not be much of a threat."
Su Tiancheng was secretly happy, he couldn't imagine that this Deng Hui still had such a careful mind, capture the thief and capture the king first, as long as those leaders are solved, the remaining minions will not pose too much of a threat.
"Okay, just do what you say, Deng Hui, if the bandit is successful, your credit is not small."
"These are all things that should be done in the next, and I still have to remind the adults that Du Laosan must be in ambush in front, there are more than 20 people around him, these 20 people are rogues from Shaanxi, they are the core strength, if Du Laosan and these 20 people are defeated, the bandits will collapse."
"Okay, when the bandits begin, you follow me and identify Du Laosan."
At the end of the day, the relief army stopped, and it was an open area, surrounded by a few small mountain packs, and you could clearly see the surrounding situation.
There was no human population around, and a lonely official road stretched out in a winding and rugged way.
In such a place, the bandits cannot be completely hidden, they can only take the form of a charge, which can buy some time for the preparation of the sergeants, and the sergeants of the cavalry battalion, all of whom are cavalry, can also carry out an assault here.
Deng Hui took about 50 people to the outside of the makeshift tent.
"My lord, the grass people took all the villagers and made a special trip to thank the adults, the adults saved me is equal to fire and water, and they are my great benefactors."
The people around Deng Hui looked very strong.
It's a pity that they weren't on guard.
"Let's all come into the tents."
Deng Hui was the first to enter the tent, his face was a little red, in the tent, although it was easy to move, but the tent was not big, and the danger factor had also increased significantly.
Deng Hui thought too much, and Su Tiancheng had already made preparations.
Inside the tent, it was empty, there was nothing.
The imperial court's patrol according to the imperial history is naturally powerful, and it is not so easy to see, besides, it has just begun to set up camp, and it is normal that there is no time to prepare in the tent, so the people who go in do not have the slightest suspicion.
In less than a minute, Su Tiancheng's voice sounded again.
"Deng Hui, come out for a while."
Deng Hui left the tent, leaving the rest of the people to wait inside for the time being.
The people who entered the tent were already a little suspicious, and they wanted Deng Hui to go out of the tent alone, and besides, none of the more than 100 brothers yesterday saw it.
Unfortunately, they woke up too late.
Bows and arrows came in all around, densely packed. The people inside the tent could not dodge, accompanied by short screams and the sound of horses.
When Su Tiancheng entered the tent, he couldn't see a single living person, and inside the tent, there were all headless corpses.
Deng Hui, who was following him, shuddered, and he couldn't imagine that Su Tiancheng, who seemed to be gentle and elegant, would have such a wrist, not verbose at all, and hurt the killer.
"Deng Hui, you go to stabilize the bandits behind, you can't make any changes, how to explain it, you think about it."
Deng Hui left quickly, Rao had seen a lot of bloody scenes, and he was a little uncomfortable with the smell of blood in the tent, which was too strong, and he was strange that Su Tiancheng was casual, as if he hadn't seen the more than fifty headless corpses.
Time passed slowly, and the team of displaced people about a mile away from the disaster relief team still seemed very quiet, and there was no movement, but there was a trace of restlessness in the quiet.
It is impossible for the homeless to have tents, but fortunately, it is the middle of summer, and there is not so much exquisiteness, as long as they can have food to eat, and they will not starve to death, it is the best result.
At three o'clock, Deng Hui came over.
"My lord, I have done some work below, they have all settled down, these people are no longer worried, without the command of the leader, they are starting to act, and they are also a mess."
"You did a good job, according to the schedule, Du Laosan should be about to attack."
Before Su Tiancheng's words were finished, there were shouts of "oh huo" and "oh huo" not far away.
"My lord, Du Laosan is here......"
"How do you know about the Dao?"
"I am very familiar with Du Laosan's voice, and this is the order he gave to attack."
The sound of horses began to appear, and there was a slight silence outside for a few seconds, followed by chaotic sounds.
Su Tiancheng quickly walked out of the tent.
Many sergeants, who had just come out of the tent, looked a little dazed, and those who were ready were the 100 cavalry battalion sergeants who followed Su Tiancheng.
Su Tiancheng got on the horse, and not far away, two groups of people rushed towards the disaster relief army, one after the other.
Not far away, where the homeless people were sleeping, there was also a commotion.
The quality of the sergeant in Xinxiang County was really beyond Su Tiancheng's expectations, seeing the bandits around them, their hands trembled in panic, in this case, not to mention facing the bandits, I am afraid that the bandits have not rushed over, and they will scatter and flee.
"All sergeants are ready to take on the bandits."
Su Tiancheng roared angrily, temporarily stabilized everyone, seeing that the bandits were about to come, the other party had more than 4,000 people, if they couldn't resist effectively, all the plans would be useless.
"Listen, we are officers and soldiers, and the bandits are rushing on the opposite side, what are you afraid of, immediately set up a formation to meet the enemy, if you escape from the battle, and the disaster relief money is lost, you don't want to live, your family will be implicated, what are you afraid of, horizontal and vertical is a death, a bit of military style."
The sergeant of the cavalry battalion beside Su Tiancheng had already made preparations.
The sergeant of Xinxiang County was much relieved when he saw such a formation.
The bandits stopped less than ten meters away from the relief team.
A middle-aged man with a full beard spoke loudly.
"Listen, I'm Du Laosan, I know that you are here for disaster relief, Lao Tzu has no other meaning, leave the silver, you roll far away, Lao Tzu only needs silver, I don't want to kill people."
Su Tiancheng, under the escort of the sergeant of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, rode to the front of the battle.
"Du Laosan, you are so bold, dare to rob the disaster relief silver of the imperial court, do you want to destroy the nine clans."
"Fuck you, Lao Tzu doesn't care what the court is, since you don't know how to lift, Lao Tzu is welcome, brothers, kill the official dog, rob the silver, let's go find a woman......"
There was a strange scream around, in the bandit team, there were very few people on horseback, it looked like there were only a few dozen people, gathered around Du Laosan, most of them were foot soldiers, Du Laosan said this, all the bandits were excited, roaring and rushing over, they were holding steel knives in their hands, and their expressions were extremely excited.
