Hua'an told the officials near Moshan that the army would recuperate for ten days and half a month, and this news was soon learned by the bandits' spies, and the news was sent to the mountain as soon as possible.

Knowing that Hua'an had gone into the mountains to suppress bandits for some days, the bandits suddenly relaxed their vigilance, and the additional sentry posts were also removed, and some big and small leaders even drank and ate meat in the thieves' nests, indulging themselves to the fullest.

Some of the bandits on the hill even committed crimes against the wind, snatching the people's daughters from nearby villages under Hua'an's nose and plundering them back to the mountains for their leaders to have fun.

Just when the bandits were arrogant, the three thousand warriors under Hua An's command were ready, and they could enter the mountains to suppress the bandits just by waiting for Hua An's order.

"Wang San, have you figured out the situation in the mountains?" Huaan asked.

Wang San replied: "Big brother, it's all clear, there are more than ten thieves' nests in the mountains, and there are three large nests, and there are more than 1,000 people in them, and the rest are only a few hundred. ”

"Okay, let's get rid of these three big nests tonight, as long as we get rid of these three big nests, the rest will be easy." Huaan said confidently.

When Tie Niu heard this, he shouted: "Big brother, let's fight the biggest one, Wang San, tell me which nest is the biggest." ”

Wang San hesitated for a while, and said: "Big brother, these three nests are of comparable scale, within five miles of each other, and are distributed in a three-legged manner, no matter which one we fight first, the remaining two nests will be reinforced, although my Great Jin Wang Division is invincible, but the strength of the three nests of the bandits is two or three times that of our army, and if we really fight, the loss will not be small." ”

"Oh, the three nests are so close to each other that they can't be broken through each." Hua Anzhong was slightly surprised, it seems that the bandits' lair is so laid out to resist the encirclement and suppression of officers and soldiers.

"Big brother, I'm afraid of a bird, the bandits are all a rabble, as long as my whole army attacks from the front, no matter how many bandits there are, they will fall in the wind." The thunderstorm roared loudly.

Hua'an naturally understands that with the hundred refined elite soldiers in his hands, the bandits in the three nests may not be opponents combined, but with one enemy and three, the casualties are too great, in Hua'an, the purpose of suppressing bandits is not only for the people, for the sake of the Great Jin Dynasty, but more importantly, for actual combat training, if the casualties are too large and the soldiers are not trained, then the training will be meaningless.

This time to suppress the bandits, the soldiers under his command died within 100 people, which is the minimum requirement of Hua'an, and the number of casualties is greater than this number, Hua'an is difficult to accept, and if the frontal battle with several times the number of bandits, the casualties will definitely be more than 100 people, this situation, Hua'an can not accept it anyway.

"Big brother, if you are afraid of large casualties, we can attack the smaller bandit lair first, and the three big ones will be solved last." Seeing Hua An's hesitation, Wang San opened his mouth to say.

"What's there to fight with a few hundred people, it's not enough to stuff your teeth?" Iron Bull tugged at his mouth and sneered.

Hua An frowned, and according to Wang San's description, he carefully deduced whether Hua An's thinking could be applied to attack such a bandit's lair according to the several enemy-breaking strategies described in the ancestral art of war.

First of all, in order to defend against the attack of officers and soldiers, the bandits' lair built a wall made of stone and earth on the periphery of the cottage.

Secondly, it will not work to cut off the enemy's grain route, the bandits' grain is hoarded in the nest, and there is no grain route at all, so naturally there is no way to cut off.

These two strategies that are most likely to win a big victory will not work, so they can only use the strategy of surprise attack, Hua An tilted his head and thought for a long time, and finally thought of a strategy that can greatly reduce casualties.

The corners of Hua An's mouth smiled slightly, and told the thunderstorm and others beside him about the strategy of breaking the enemy, it turned out that Hua An decided to take a frontal feint attack and divide the troops to attack.

First of all, let a group of centaurs pretend to be the main force, fight head-on in a bandit lair, attract all the bandits in the three lairs, and send the other two centaurs at the same time, quietly approaching the other two lairs, taking advantage of the opportunity for them to go out to reinforce, suddenly rush out, quickly break the bandit lair, and then take advantage of the victory to pursue, from the back to attack the main force of the bandits gathered in the third lair.

And the men and horses who were feint in the front also launched an attack at the same time, pinching the main force of the bandits, so Hua'an was confident enough to take down the three bandit lairs within 100 casualties.

Thunderstorm and others also greatly appreciated Hua'an's strategy to break the enemy and expressed their approval.

After discussing the specific details, Hua An asked Thunderstorm to lead a cavalry battalion of 1,000 soldiers, armed with 'cross-shaped' torches, to march towards the nearest of the three bandits' lair.

Zhao Wu and Tie Niu led their respective infantry battalions and quietly infiltrated the vicinity of the other two bandits' lairs, preparing to take advantage of the situation.

In the middle of the night, the three armies all entered the designated positions, and Hua An kept the cavalry battalion of the thunderstorm at a certain distance from the bandits' lair, while he himself led Wang San and his own army brigade to launch a tentative attack on the bandits' lair.

Hua An rode his horse close to the wall, bent his bow and arrows and shot several patrolling bandits down the wall in succession, and the soldiers of Wang San and the personal army brigade behind him also caused great damage to the bandits guarding the wall.

The bandits who were responsible for guarding the walled wall did not expect that the officers and soldiers would arrive so soon, and they were caught off guard by arrows one after another, and the remaining bandits squatted down and looked out from the cracks in the wall.

The dense torches outside the stockade made these thieves so frightened that they almost peed their pants.

"The owner of the village, the officers and soldiers are here, the officers and soldiers are here." A little thief shouted hoarsely, and as he shouted, he ran wildly into the stockade, looking extremely panicked.

Soon, there were more and more bandits who rushed to hear the news, and all the bandits took up their weapons and hid under the wall, waiting for the arrival of the owner of the wall.

At this time, the leader of the bandits was hugging the lady she had snatched, rolling on the couch**, suddenly hearing the noise outside, he was angry, and hurriedly asked what was going on.

After learning that it was the officers and soldiers who attacked, he was immediately shocked into a cold sweat, and he couldn't care about the beauty in his arms anymore, so he hurriedly dressed, took the weapons in the house, and ran towards the gate of the village.

"What's going on, how many officers and soldiers are coming." The bandit leader ran to the wall and asked loudly.

"Look, there are more than 3,000 horses." One of the little leaders was about to cry as he spoke.

The leader of the bandits looked out through the gap in the walled gate, and couldn't help but be surprised, there were indeed more than 3,000 torches outside, which was consistent with the number of officers and soldiers he sent out, which showed that all the officers and soldiers led by Hua'an were killed.

"Didn't the spies say that the officers and soldiers should rest for at least ten days or half a month? Why did it kill so quickly. The bandit leader was annoyed and complained loudly.

The little boss next to him was also very annoyed, but soon, they understood that this was a trick by Hua'an.
