In order to encircle and suppress Qinglongzhai, Zhao Guohua carefully inquired about Lu Dacheng's tactics of attacking Qinglongzhai and how the officers and soldiers were captured by bandits. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

From Lu Dacheng's mouth, he learned the strategy used by the bandits to capture the officers and soldiers: that is, to eliminate the opponent's command organ or leader figure first, and force the opponent to surrender without a fight. In later generations, this method was called "decapitation".

"It seems that there are also some characters among the bandits in Jinggang Mountain, no wonder they have been able to defeat the officers and soldiers of the conquest and suppression many times......" Zhao Guohua thought to himself.

Then he took several of his officers and Qianhu Lu Dacheng out of the camp.

With a telescope in hand, he carefully observed the Baolong Pass, one of the five whistles, which was brought by Xiao Yang, a soldier who drove the car, before he died.

"This Baolong Pass is steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is well defended." Zhao Guohua commented while observing.

Qianhu Lu Dacheng couldn't see the situation on the checkpoint clearly, and saw Zhao Guohua holding a black thing with two round holes together to observe on the Baolong Pass, he was not a chaotic officer, and he had also heard that there was a thing called clairvoyance in the army, but he had never seen it.

"Could it be that clairvoyance?" Looking at the black object in Zhao Guohua's hand, he guessed in his heart.

I wanted to ask, but I didn't know how to say it, so I had to watch it greedily.

After observing for a while, Zhao Guohua put down the binoculars, turned back to Lu Dacheng and several officers of the joint defense brigade and said: "The terrain in front of this pass is very narrow, there are too many people to spread, and there are fewer people to attack. ”

"I think that with the wheel warfare method, take turns to attack the city, and the bandits who are waiting to defend the card are tired, so they can attack it." Huang Deguan said.

Glancing at him, Zhao Guohua said: "This kind of tactic is not only time-consuming, but also will add a lot of casualties to the joint defense team. ”

With a "hiss", everyone couldn't help but take a breath. Listening to the captain's intentions, he wanted to reduce the casualties of the attack on Baolong Pass to less than twenty people.

This task can't be completed at all, they looked at each other, and no one dared to say anything.

"This surnamed Zhao is too crazy, some time ago, 3,000 officers and soldiers attacked for three days, and there was no progress after losing more than 300 people, not to mention that if you lose 20 people, you have to attack it, isn't this bragging, can your joint defense brigade fly up?" Qianhu Lu Dacheng looked at Zhao Guohua and muttered in his heart, with a sneering look on his face.

Out of the corner of his eye, he had already seen the sneering expression on his face, and Zhao Guohua didn't care, just smiled and said, "Let's go back to the camp, be on guard, and prevent the bandits from repeating their old tricks." ”

Baolong Pass is made of stone and rammed earth, although it is not too high, but thick and precipitous, there are more than 300 minions stationed, the minions guarding the pass saw that a large group of people and horses came outside, and the small leader hurriedly sent someone to the Qinglongzhai General Hall to report.

"What? A large group of people came to Baolong Pass and set up a camp? The big leader said in surprise.

The third leader, Lu Qing, asked calmly, "How many people are there?" ”

The little minion who reported the news knelt on one leg and lowered his head and said, "Look at the size of the camp, there are no less than 3,000 people......"

"Where did the officers and soldiers come from? Is there a flag? The third leader, Lu Qing, continued to ask

"It's not an officer or soldier, the clothes they wear are blue-black." The little minion who reported the message replied

Hearing this, Lu Qing frowned and thought about it and said, "If it's not an officer or soldier, what kind of person will it be?"

"This style of clothing is a bit like the security team of Mingfeng Village, but as far as I know, there are not so many people in that security team at all...... "Liu Youtian, the leader of the four leaders, said suspiciously

Although he intercepted the goods in Mingfeng Village last time and attacked the escort team, he had fought with the escort security team members, and he had seen the security team's clothing, but at this time, he couldn't figure out whether the team that came was the security team from Mingfeng Village, because the security team did not have so many personnel.

"Don't guess, let's go to Baolong Pass to have a look......" The second leader, Chen Dashan, said impatiently.

"Oh...... The second brother is right, let's go, all the brothers followed me to Baolong Pass for a walk, and then discussed. After saying this, Wang Hu took the lead out of the Juyi Hall, and the five leaders walked out of the Juyi Hall, mounted their horses and headed towards Baolong Pass.

When I arrived at Baolong Pass, I went up to the steep and thick wall, held the battlement, and the four leaders of the mountain tiger Liu Youtian built a pergola, looked at it carefully for a while, and then said with certainty: "Yes, the clothing is the security team of Mingfeng Village, but why did they suddenly have so many more people?" ”

"Could it be that the officers and soldiers are pretending?" The big leader Wang Hu asked suspiciously.

"I don't think so, this security team is not very famous, and it is not worth pretending to be an official soldier, besides, Squire Yang's son also wrote to talk about it." The three leaders, Lu Qing, thought and said.

The second leader, Chen Dashan, said nonchalantly: "What are you afraid of? Whether it is the security team or the officers and soldiers, they will fight when they come, and aren't the 3,000 officers and soldiers from last time still being detained on the mountain? ”

"Second brother, it's better to be cautious, know yourself and your opponent, and you won't be defeated in a hundred battles, I think it's better to send someone to understand the other party's intentions." Liu Youtian, the four-headed leader of the mountain tiger, said.

Hearing this, the big leader Wang Hu nodded and said, "What the fourth brother said is that you went to Mingfeng Village last time, and you are familiar with their situation, I think you are still lucky to go and touch their bottoms." ”

"Okay, I'll see if there's anything weird about the expanded security team," Liu Youtian said with a smile.

Out of Baolong Pass, Liu Youtian found a shabby dress to put on, pretended to be a minion, and walked towards the camp gate of the joint defense team, and before he approached the camp tent, several patrolling joint defense team members surrounded him with spears in their hands, and shouted: "Who are you? What's going on here? ”

Liu Youtian bowed down with a smiling face and said: "The villain is a little minion of Qinglongzhai, and on the order of the king of my family, I came to ask your ministry to deliver the letter." ”

"Take him to the big tent and let the captain deal with it." A security guard said.

Several security guards escorted Liu Youtian towards the big tent. Along the way, Liu Youtian carefully observed the layout of the camp tent, trying to see something, but except for a team of team members with spears patrolling back and forth in the camp, he couldn't see anything strange.

"Report, the patrol team sent a messenger from Qinglong Village." The escort stood in front of a tent and said loudly.

"Bring in!" There was a shout inside. After searching, Liu Youtian, the four leaders of Qinglongzhai, was brought into the big tent.

Entering the big tent, Liu Youtian raised his eyes and saw a man in his thirties sitting at the back of the desk in the middle of the big tent, a pen holder was placed on the desk, and there were six team members with waist knives standing straight on both sides of the big tent, everyone looked straight at Liu Youtian, seeing this, Liu Youtian hurriedly bowed down, and said with a smile on his face: "The villain is from Qinglongzhai, and he came to your department to learn some things on the order of the big leader of my family." ”

"What do you want to know?" , Zhao Guohua asked in a flat tone.

Liu Youtian looked at him, fixed his mind, and asked, "May I ask where your ministry came from?" What's the matter here? ”

Glancing at him, Zhao Guohua said: "We are the Yongxin County Joint Defense Brigade, I am the captain Zhao Guohua, who came to rescue Miss Meng and the three thousand officers and soldiers back to the camp on the order of Chen Bingbei of Meng Governor and Song County, I hope you will release them back to prevent you and me from hurting the peace." ”

"Yongxin County Joint Defense Brigade? But I see that your costume is the same as the costume of the security team of Mingfeng Village. Liu Youtian said curiously.

"Have you been to Mingfeng Village?" Zhao Guohua stared at him and asked.

Shocked and stabilized, Liu Youtian said calmly: "Yes!" I went there to help people pull soap and shampoo, so I knew the security team's outfits. ”

"I see, since you know the Mingfeng Village Security Team, then I will tell you that the Yongxin County Joint Defense Brigade was expanded from the Mingfeng Village Security Team, and the purpose is to protect the territory and protect the people, clear out bandits and eliminate thieves, so I hope you go back and inform the head of your family, and quickly release Miss Meng and those captured officers and soldiers, so as not to meet each other and hurt the peace."

"It's not impossible to put back those officers and soldiers and Miss Meng, but did Captain Zhao bring the remaining 200,000 taels of silver?" Liu Youtian asked with a sneer.

Glancing at him, Zhao Guohua said with slight annoyance: "You are a little minion, you are not qualified to ask about this matter, you just take what I said, go back and tell the big leader of your family." ”

"Captain Zhao has a big breath, I don't know how many people you brought here." Liu Youtian asked with a sneer.

Being despised is not a happy thing, so Liu Youtian is not annoyed in his heart.

Hearing this, he looked him up and down carefully, and Zhao Guohua said with a smile: "To deal with you and other bandits and bandits, my 3,000 joint defense is too much." ”

"The surname Zhao, you are so crazy, my Qinglong Village has never been breached since the establishment of the village, and last time three thousand officers and soldiers were captured by us without much effort, could it be that your three thousand people are heavenly soldiers and generals?" Liu Youtian blushed and shouted.

Seeing him like this, Zhao Guohua said: "I see that you are not an ordinary minion, but like a leader, since you are here, you don't have to show your head and tail anymore, say it, I won't arrest you, even if you are Wang Hu, I will let you go back." ”

After accepting the task of exterminating Qinglongzhai in Jinggangshan and rescuing Miss Meng and the captured officers and soldiers, Zhao Guohua trained the joint defense team and collected information on Qinglongzhai at the same time, and already knew the names and bandit numbers of the five leaders of Qinglongzhai.

"What you said is true?" Liu Youtian asked in disbelief.
