Chapter 33: The Suppression of Bandits Begins
According to Liu Feng's reasoning, that Fang Wei would be delayed in Fang Village for a while, maybe he would spend the night in Fang Village today. According to the speed of their march, it will take another day to reach Aoshanzhai. That is to say, the day after tomorrow at the latest, the battle of Aoshanzhai will begin.
And if Baijiacun wants to profit in this battle, it must have enough strength, otherwise there are thousands of troops on both sides, and any one of them can destroy Baijiacun.
The military strength of more than 100 people was obviously insufficient, and Liu Feng immediately decided to expand the army to more than 200 people. Although the military is still insufficient, it is also the limit of Baijia Village. Fortunately, after many battles, there are still a lot of captured materials and equipment, which is enough to equip the dozens of new people. Moreover, there are many bandits who have just been transformed into villagers, and they have all participated in the war, and it is not a problem to reorganize - although the combat effectiveness may be reduced, there are numbers that can make up for it.
Now there is another question plaguing Liu Feng. Most of the bandits on Ao Mountain have gathered in Ao Cottage, so the other cottages are basically empty, whether to go and empty the homes of these thieves first, or wait for the battle of Ao Cottage to end.
After thinking about it, Liu Feng still decided to wait for the matter of Aoshanzhai to come to an end, because he thought that if Aoshanzhai was really becoming a medium-sized cottage, then the things from other cottages on Aoshan were likely to be shipped to Aoshanzhai to ensure the success of his upgrade, and even if it was defeated, there would be nothing good. And doing so is likely to startle the snake and alarm the thieves in Aoshanzhai.
The battle of thousands of men is not a lot of troops, and if it is more intense, the victory or defeat will be announced in one morning. Therefore, he did not have time to bulldoze the scattered cottages one by one.
Besides, even if it is really defeated, if Aoshanzhai is successfully promoted, the outward development of Baijia Village will face a stronger force, and it is estimated that there will be no way for Baijia Village to survive in the future.
Therefore, Liu Feng did not allow Aoshanzhai to be promoted successfully, and all the preparations he made were for the purpose of destroying Aoshanzhai.
Of course, he will not help the side of Aoshan City for no reason. In his eyes, Aoshanzhai is the biggest obstacle to the current development of Baijia Village, and the existence of Aoshan City is the biggest obstacle to Baijiacun's future expansion.
The spies have been scattered, and all the actions of Aoshanzhai and the city guards have fallen into Liu Feng's eyes, and he is constantly weighing the gains and losses in order to better plan the next move.
In the afternoon of the next day, under the leadership of Liu Feng, the villagers of Baijia Village, who had undergone preliminary rectification, rushed towards Aoshanzhai, leaving only a dozen people to guard their homes. These dozen people are just maintaining law and order in the village, and Liu Feng doesn't believe that anyone will come to trouble in the near future. Besides, if an enemy does come to attack, the bandits who have just been transformed into villagers will immediately turn into escorts.
Baijia Village is half a day's journey away from Aoshanzhai, and in order to observe the terrain early and be prepared, it is necessary to set off in advance. On the way, they also passed a cottage with a closed mountain gate, and in order not to startle the snakes, they also deliberately went around. Fortunately, Pu has super eyesight and explores the way ahead, but nothing happened along the way.
Liu Feng set up camp at night ten miles away from Ao Cottage, which was beyond the patrol range of Ao Cottage, and was facing the road from the city guards, who were having a headache to deal with the city guards, so they naturally ignored this "rear", so it was relatively safe.
Aoshanzhai is located on a low hill, the terrain is not very dangerous, only one side is backed by the high mountain, the other sides are relatively gentle, I don't know why Aoshanzhai chose to settle here, can it be said that the people who created the cottage have a problem with their brains?
This is naturally not, and the people who can lay such a big business are naturally not brain problems, but they feel invincible here, and they don't need to choose any favorable terrain at all. Maybe he didn't realize it at the time, Aoshanzhai can still have today.
In fact, Yun Ao, the owner of Aoshanzhai, has long regretted that he should not have moved Aoshanzhai here for the convenience of transportation. Although this place can lead to more places, and it is the only place where Aoshan City must pass to another city, it is also a place of right and wrong. Once a war breaks out, there is not much terrain advantage.
In the lobby of Aoshanzhai, Yunao sits in the middle, and the second and third owners of Aoshanzhai sit on both sides, and in addition, there are more than a dozen people who also sit down in order. These people are the protagonists of this defense against the city guards. Basically, the owners of various cottages in Aoshan are here, and there are some main characters in Aoshanzhai.
"This attack by the city guards is the final test for our Aoshanzhai to advance to a medium-sized cottage. As long as it can pass, the future of the Ao cottage can be imagined, and the future of everyone is unlimited, and I hope you will work hard to move forward. "Yun Ao is a strong man, and his voice is relatively loud.
"Don't worry, the owner of the village, we will definitely beat the city guards!" A black-faced village owner was the first to speak.
"Yes, village master, we will definitely be able to repel them!" A thinner owner said, but his tone was not so confident.
"However, there are more city guards than us, and they are still regular troops, elites, and it is said that the strength of the leader is not weak." There are also concerns about the outcome of the war
……
"Dick, what do you think?" Listening to everyone's voices, Yun Ao looked at the silent Erzhai master. For a long time, the owner of the second village has been the think tank of the cottage, and this time is no exception.
The master of the second village was dressed as a scribe, in fact, he was also a wise general, and when he heard Yun Ao's question, he said softly: "Big brother, don't worry, I have already inquired, the commander of the city guard army is a man named Fang Wei, who is arrogant and domineering, as long as he hurts him and lets him know that we are not easy to mess with, he will naturally retreat." ”
"Moreover, this time is not like before, not all the city guards came, and there were no high-level generals to lead the army, and the strength was greatly reduced compared to before. There are only 500 people in the city guards, and the rest are drawn from various towns and towns, and their combat strength is not as good as that of the city guards, and they have no experience in cooperating before, so it is difficult to unify the command and give full play to their due combat power. The second village owner looked relaxed.
What everyone present didn't know was that the excitement in the heart of the second village master far exceeded that of everyone. How many years, he didn't know how many times he wanted to go back, but he didn't dare. Hiding in Tibet, he finally went up the mountain and became a bandit who cut the path.
He dreamed of one day being able to take the man back with him, ask him what he thought, and personally take off the man's head to pay tribute to his relatives. However, Aoshan is too small and there are too few people, and after a few years, it is still an inconspicuous small force.
Now I finally have to take a step forward, although it is still far from my dream, but after all, going out is a good start.
Yun Ao nodded, and began to discuss tomorrow's war with everyone again.
Just when the leaders of Aoshanzhai were deliberating, in the military camp a few miles away, the commander of the city guard army was also convening his subordinates to discuss the matter.
The military camp of the city guards is just a few miles in front of Aoshanzhai, and I don't know if Fang Wei is too proud or too confident, so he actually put the camp under the nose of Aoshanzhai, and he is not afraid that others will take the opportunity to rob the camp.
Fang Wei is now in high spirits. He has only been promoted to senior military general for only two or three years, and he has gone further, and now he is not weak in the ranks of senior military generals. With his strength, he can already command a thousand people in Aoshan City.
It's just that he doesn't have any proud records, and if he serves as a thousand, he will be a little unconvincing. So, when he knew about this task of suppressing bandits, he asked Shang Feng for this opportunity. As long as he can successfully complete this task, he will be promoted to a thousand generals after he returns.
And he also has a meaning, that is, to return home. Thinking about yesterday, when the village chief, who was the big man in his heart, flattered and smiled in front of him, Fang Wei felt comfortable in his heart.
He didn't look at these thieves in Aoshan at all, thinking that this was just a rabble, and the previous few clearances were completely used to kill chickens with cattle slaughtering knives. Therefore, his big tent is a direct subordinate task: tomorrow the whole army will attack Aoshanzhai. And it was a one-shot effort to take down the cottage directly.
Fang Wei is now at the right time, and no one who knows his character wants to touch his moldy head. The commander of the unified army in a township wanted to say something, but before he could speak, he was blocked back.
"Let's go back and prepare, tomorrow at noon, I hope to have lunch in Aoshanzhai."
Everyone who walked out of the big tent breathed a sigh of relief, and they didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse to follow such a wild leader. Fortunately, they don't think that bandits pose any threat to themselves - it's confidence in their own strength.
Of course, it wasn't all so confident, and the captain who had just wanted to speak was like that, looking worried. Because he didn't want his subordinates to follow such arrogant people to fight hard. But the order has been given, and as a soldier, he can only obey.
In the moonlight, it could be seen that it was a young face.
Maybe the wisdom of the Three Kingdoms period has not yet spread, and no one comes to rob the camp at night, and there is no word all night. Early the next morning, the army of bandits who had eaten immediately pulled out of camp and marched towards Ao Mountain, and it didn't take long to reach the road for several miles. Aoshanzhai, which had already been prepared, was not surprised at all by the arrival of these people, and all kinds of materials for defending the city had been prepared.
With the sound of a drum, the offensive and defensive battle against bandits in Aoshanzhai officially kicked off.
