Before dawn the next morning, Witt and his party set off to the cottage, and arrived not far from the bottom of the peak at noon.

At the bottom of the twin peaks, the cottage is already close in front of him, and Kas found that this is not a simple single-peak cottage, but a double-peaked cottage, which is divided into a front village and a back village, the front village is in the front peak, the back village is in the back peak, and the middle is connected by a cable bridge fifty meters apart. The front peak is not steep, and can be reached by a number of roads, but there is only one really convenient road, that is, the narrow road facing the gate of the village, and the other roads may fall down the mountain and die, let alone attack the cottage. The back peak is even more steep, and the entire back peak is surrounded by cliffs, and there is no way to go up. Only through the chain bridge, can you reach the back village.

There is a wide cave in the middle of the rock wall facing the side of the front village of the cliff of the back peak, the space in the hole is vast, and it is formed by natural water erosion and weathering, which can avoid the wind and rain, and can avoid the beast, it can be described as a natural shelter. It is the geographical advantages of this place that the predecessors took advantage of the location to connect the caves with iron cables from the front peaks and build cottages in the caves. The front and back two villages are connected into a piece, and it is called Shuangfeng Village later. Shuangfeng Village was originally used as a residential house at the beginning, but later it was forcibly occupied by bandits due to its geographical advantages, which became the old nest of bandits.

Cass looked at Shuangfeng Village and sighed at the magic of his predecessors, but he knew that he was in trouble. If you want to capture the main village, that is, the back village, you must first capture the front village. If you copy the front village, not only is it not easy to do it, but it is also easy to be attacked by the back of the back village. Therefore, the best attack is to break directly from the gate of the former village, storm the front village, and then try to capture the main village.

Although the bandits are only a rabble, according to past experience, most of these bandits are naked and have no armor on their heads, and their armor is extremely poor. Not only that, but most of the bandits are armed with butcher knives, which not only have a limited attack range, but also deal limited damage to enemies. Equipped with a slightly longer attack range, there are only a handful of bandits with sharper single blades. Therefore, bandits often go out in groups to win more than few. In the face of their own recruits, not only does they not have an advantage in troops, but also their training level is difficult to match, so their attack power is naturally not to be feared.

Although the bandits are not worried, but after all, the other party has a geographical advantage, Kas does not want the team to have too many casualties, so after inspecting the geography of Shuangfeng Village, he did not dare to immediately order a strong attack, but ordered the soldiers to camp in the hills and valleys under the Shuangfeng Village, and sent a small number of soldiers to build large wooden shields with square archery holes and simple siege ladders, and the remaining soldiers were divided into two teams to take turns to rest and maintain a state of combat at any time.

Witt doesn't seem to understand Cass's camping in the trough, and the art of war says that the camp should be built high and low, with a high place and a wide field of vision, and it can be attacked and defended. Cass did the opposite, but Witt also knew that Cass couldn't be unaware of the truth, and must have other plans. Witt could guess a thing or two, but he wasn't sure. Cass also sensed Witt's confusion about his orders, and immediately explained, "Are you confused about choosing a camp? ”

Willt nodded, and Cass smiled: "Of course I know the truth of camping and choosing the high ground, I just made a bet with them and tried my luck." Cass pointed to the Twin Peaks, smiling and silent, just waiting for Witt to guess.

Witt's eyes lit up, and he was already six or seven points sure in his chest, and guessed softly: "Your Excellency wants to lure them into a sneak attack at night?" ”

Cass patted Witt on the shoulder and laughed, "Yes, but it shouldn't be hard to guess." If the other party is an army, it will definitely not be fooled. Since the other party is just a rabble, then I will make a bet with them, maybe the other party will take the bait. ”

Witt just chimed in and didn't say much. In fact, Witt thought in his heart that no matter whether the other party was a soldier or a bandit, he would not take the initiative to attack. If the opponent is a pawn, then the camp is set up on the hills and high grounds, and the opponent is more likely to attack at night. Now that the other party is a bandit, it is unlikely that the other party will send troops whether the barracks are set up in the high ground or the trough. Because the bandits must know that the bandits are invincible, why should the eggs hit the stones and suffer themselves! It is better to use the granary that has been accumulated for a long time to hold on to the dangerous land to come safer.

Of course, this is just Witt's own idea, and he didn't tear Cass's face for it. Besides, wouldn't it be better if those bandits came? The officers and soldiers are waiting in the valley, the bandits are coming to make a lot of money, and if they don't come, they won't lose money, right?

"My lord, if the bandits don't come, what are your plans for tomorrow?" Witt knew that the probability of the bandits not coming was high, and the Shuangfeng Village would be a hard battle, but he just wanted to know how Cass wanted to pull out the village.

Cass frowned, this was what worried him the most. If the bandits do not come out of the village, they will definitely attack, in this case, our army casualties are inevitable. Cass did not hesitate and replied directly: "Attack!" ”

"Since it's a strong attack, presumably the Lord should be a fire attack, right?" Witt didn't deliberately let Cass say his tactics first, but directly expressed his thoughts.

Cass's eyes flashed, and he stared at Witt with surprised eyes, and after a pause, he said, "You are really a malleable talent, not bad!" Not bad! It's amazing to think of a fire attack. Although the terrain of the bandit village is dangerous, it is difficult to attack, but the bandits are bandits after all, and no matter how strong the defensive wall is, it can only be wood, right? Fire and wood, rightly so. It's just ......" Cass's face gradually became embarrassed, a little embarrassed, and after a pause, Cass continued: "It's just that before this expedition, we underestimated the strength of the other party, and we didn't make sufficient preparations, so that the archers were equipped with hidden arrows and did not prepare fire oil, and the strategy of fire attack is difficult to achieve." Cass sighed, looking a little remorseful.

Witt is obviously also a little depressed, such a good tactic, but it can't be used, it can really be described as a discord between the right time and place, hateful! The air suddenly rolled into a quiet wave, suffocating against the furrowed brows on the foreheads of Witt and Cass.

"My lord, if the fire attack is carried out, can you sacrifice the two donkeys used for the baggage and the large wooden wheeled cart?" Witt thought and thought, and finally asked in a deep voice.

Witt's words really shocked Cass. Cass was stunned for a moment, even a little skeptical, and then tried to believe Witt, and said categorically: "If the fire attack can make the soldiers successfully capture the cottage, I am willing to sacrifice my beloved old horse." ”

Seeing that Cass was so wise, Witt immediately told Cass the truth about his plan. Cass was amazed by the action, and immediately agreed with Witt's idea, and ordered the soldiers to immediately start preparing for the relevant matters.

Whether Witt's idea will be realized as planned, and even if it is successfully implemented, and how effective it will be, remains to be seen, and it will only be possible to truly witness it on the battlefield.
