Chapter Twenty-Eight: Capture the Cottage
Those are bandits, and for bandits, it is naturally impossible to expect them to be loyal.
In fact, when Wei Tao surrendered, he surrendered almost with one move, but when he ordered them to prepare to attack their own cottage, many people turned pale.
But Wei Tao promised, and the faces of these sergeants suddenly became fierce, and they wanted to rush to the cottage immediately.
Wei Tao promised that all the property that belonged to them would not change, and after this attack, they would definitely get a reward.
Of course, for the original own people, Wei Tao already has a reward.
Uneven rewards and punishments are the most likely to cause chaos among soldiers and horses, and Wei Tao is not ignorant.
The camp of the horse bandits is hundreds of miles away from Mayi, but at this time everyone is equipped with horses, so this section of the road is not slow.
As soon as he arrived at the cottage, Wei Tao found that he really couldn't underestimate these horse bandits, this village was built according to the terrain, tall and thick, and there were several watchtowers, you can watch the movement in all directions, which is quite good.
But they are all horse bandits, obviously the people on duty are not conscientious guys, until Wei Tao led people to the front of the village, there was no one to probe out to investigate.
Signaling slightly, a horse bandit immediately stepped forward and knocked on the door of the village.
"Open the door! Open the door! The head of the house is back! Our three leaders are back! ”
"It's coming! Here it comes! Why did the three masters come back? Didn't you say you were going to support the big bosses? ”
The people inside didn't have any suspicion when they heard the familiar shout, and even when they asked this, they obviously just said it.
"It's not that this time the harvest is not small, don't look at the poor people of Namayi, but the official has brought a lot of good things, and the three masters can only come back first to put down the harvest, and then go to support the big boss."
The one who called the door was also a clever one, and he also answered casually.
"Besides, who are we in charge? The famous 'gust of wind', which has been crisscrossing the grassland for decades, where do we need support? ”
"That's it! Is that! ”
Hearing that there were many gains, the other party's movements were really a little faster.
"Horse bandits are always just horse bandits, and they can't become climate. The bandit leader 'A Gust of Wind' did have some ability to set up such a tight camp, but unfortunately no one used it. ”
Seeing that the horse bandits were so lax, Wei Tao couldn't help but say to Zhang Liao beside the other party.
"These horse bandits are all fierce, and they are indeed the material for being soldiers, but in the future, we will have to train well, if not, we will not be elite."
Zhang Liao then nodded and agreed with this.
"Quack, Quack, Quack......"
The gate of the camp is very heavy, and it can be said that this camp is already a small city.
"The three masters are back? I don't know how much I have gained from this outing? ”
The bandits on the other side immediately greeted them with a smile, looked around, and soon found that all the horses were lightly armed, and they didn't look like they were carrying property at all, and they were stunned.
"Why don't you see the three masters?"
After asking this sentence, the leader immediately shuddered, and seemed to understand something in an instant.
But at this time, a spear pierced his throat directly, and blood flew out.
"Kill it!"
Wei Tao shook the reins and rushed into the village at the moment.
For horse bandits, such a brave leader is the one who can convince them, so although it is a new descendant, almost all horse bandits are subconsciously following closely.
"Those who descend will not be killed! Those who descend will not be killed! ”
Because there were many new people, Wei Tao didn't think about forcibly forcing these horse bandits to kill, as long as there were no people who forcibly resisted, Wei Tao would let them go.
Originally, the number of people was not superior, not to mention that many people faced such changes, and both parties were familiar people, and they didn't know how to deal with it for a while.
By the time these people came back to their senses, Wei Tao had already led people to occupy the entire cottage.
Under the coercion of knives and guns, the horse bandits could only lay down their weapons, and no one was able to escape at all.
When this cottage was built, it was tight and impermeable, so that these bandits had nowhere to run if they wanted to.
Maybe there is indeed a secret passage in this camp, but how can this secret passage be known to ordinary mountain bandits?
"I know that you were bandits at the beginning, and there are various reasons, but this official governs Mayi, in order to return a clean and peaceful Mayi, as long as you are to exterminate the 'gust of wind', everything in the past is not to blame, and I will not confiscate your private property."
When Wei Tao said this, his voice paused slightly, and his indifferent gaze swept around.
"Of course, if anyone is obsessed, then don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Fang Cai Wei Tao took the lead, and the majestic posture of killing several bandits in a row was also seen by the bandits, and at first glance, no one dared to resist.
Of course, after all, it is a newcomer, and it is not so easy to retract from it.
What's more, there are already more bandits who surrender than on their own side, and once they rebel, Wei Tao may immediately be doomed.
So Wei Tao immediately did one thing, reward.
And it was to take those in the cottage who went to ambush Gao Shun to share the reward, including the goods, including the women, all of them were rewarded.
If the people who followed Wei Tao's surrender before still had loyalty to that 'gust of wind' in their hearts, then at this time, all the loyalty was transferred to Wei Tao.
Even if they didn't need Wei Tao's orders, they would be staring at the newly surrendered people.
When Wei Tao distributed the reward, Zhang Liao had already led people to observe the entire camp, but his mouth was full of admiration.
"My lord, this bandit leader is extraordinary, he can set up such a large camp, if it weren't for the fact that Mayi City is in the main road of the Xiongnu, and this place is really a bit remote. I'm going to suggest that you move the city here. ”
Zhang Liao seemed to sigh a little, but after the sigh, he laughed a little.
"But this bandit leader is not a person who does anything big, just by looking at the fact that he let these bandits settle down and start a business, if it weren't for the fact that these bandits all have family business concerns, and they are reluctant to let their property be taken by others, we wouldn't be so easy for them to surrender."
Wei Tao nodded, agreeing with Zhang Liao's words.
The barefoot are not afraid to wear shoes.
Since these horse bandits dare to fall into the grass and become bandits, then naturally they will not be soft-hearted people, if they do not have their own concerns, I am afraid that they are all the kind of people who dare to shout 'Eighteen years later, another good man' and then rush to kill.
No matter how much you besiege and kill, it won't work.
However, on both occasions, these bandits surrendered quickly, and even if they were newly incorporated into the army, no one dared to rebel at will.
Here's why.
"Wen Yuan's words are a little worse, I think it is precisely like this'A gust of wind' is the appearance of doing a lot of things, if it is uneasy to camp the village, it is always a bandit. The slightest carelessness is the disaster of overturning. ”
However, Wei Tao disagreed with what Zhang Liao said, and shook his head slightly.
"That 'gust of wind' has been a disaster for decades, if it weren't for the various bandits in this camp to settle down, would they still be able to sit firmly in the position of the bandit leader without worrying about the later ones killing him? Not necessarily, I'm afraid. ”
There are not 2,000 people in this camp as Zhang Liao said at the beginning, but there are nearly 3,000 people in the old, weak, women and children, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a small town.
In other words, this is the real city of Mayi, and most of the inhabitants of Mayi have been taken captive here.
"What do you say? Just one horse and I took 200 people and trapped? Is it that the third child was also seriously injured and lost an arm? How is this possible! ”
A man with a beard stepped forward and grabbed the skinny man, furious.
"If you dare to say half a lie, Lao Tzu plucked your skin!"
"The big boss, the small one really doesn't dare, the reason why the three bosses will suffer heavy losses is completely because of the trajectory of the official army, the reason why the dog official was sent to Mayi is to ambush us, and he has already ambushed people in Mayi, not less than a hundred people at all, there are more than 200 people!"
This guy who is crying is the one who leads the deception, and I have to say that he is indeed a bit talented.
As soon as they cried like this, the leader of the horse bandits, 'A Gust of Wind', suddenly believed a little, and his hand was slightly loosened.
"Then why did you get here?"
"Qi Yu big boss, the third boss said that since there is fraud in the city of Mayi, I'm afraid that the big boss is not stable here, so he specially ordered the villain to hurry up, one is to prevent the big boss from plotting, and the other is to let the big boss hurry back to the cottage How should it be?"
"What kind of officers and soldiers are birdmen, could it be that the third child is frightened and can't do it?"
At this time, a black-faced man next to him said disdainfully.
"If it's Lao Tzu, he's a thief, just chop it with an axe!"
"Dick!"
The 'gust of wind' did not make the big man continue to complain, but said seriously.
"The third child did the right thing. We have been waiting for two days, but there is still no trace of Gao Shun, I am afraid that Gao Shun divided his troops and horses, so he could not attack. It's hateful that Yanmen Pass is tall, otherwise it's just Gao Shun, how can it be our opponent? ”
That 'gust of wind' was not afraid that anyone would dare to lie to him.
He has been in front of horse bandits for so many years, coming and going, and which of his subordinates dares to disobey his orders, or even betray him?
Of course, he didn't know what to do, the reason why Wei Tao was so relieved to let this person come was because he had already rewarded his wife and concubine to him.
The hatred of killing the father and the hatred of taking the wife.
This person would not have had a second mind except to look forward to the destruction of this 'gust of wind'.
"The big boss, although we escaped from the city of Mayi to protect the three masters, there were also many brothers who were captured at that time, and they may have been followed by the officials and soldiers along the way, so the three masters ordered me to come quickly regardless of my injuries."
At this time, the man hurriedly said, these words are all taught by Wang He, even if 'a gust of wind' is cunning, let him be a big fool!
"If it's not careful, I'm afraid it's even our cottage ......"
No matter how calm the 'gust of wind' was, when he heard this, his heart still couldn't help but feel cold, and he didn't wait for him to finish speaking, he immediately let go of him and got on the horse directly.
"Quick! Come back to the cottage! ”
