After checking Qingfeng Village, Lin Sen quickly turned back to Qingquan Village, and after waiting for a while, Lu Gang and Lin Hu led the soldiers back to the village for lunch, and Lin Sen called Lin Hu separately and asked him to select a few clever soldiers to go to Hutou Village in Hutou Mountain to explore the situation!

Hutou Village This is the cottage he is about to attack, this cottage is in a mountain in the northwest of their village, the list text says that there are many thieves in the cottage, and there is no superfluous introduction to the specific location, so Lin Sen wants to take people to sneak to the vicinity of the cottage, observe it nearby, and further understand the specific situation of the cottage, and know yourself and your opponent in order to survive a hundred battles!

This trip Lin Sen is going to go in person, and he can also exercise his military experience, and he can also learn first-hand information about Hutou Village, so he can have a bottom in his heart and rest assured!

He led Lin Hu and several soldiers towards Hutou Mountain. There is only one way into the mountain, afraid that there are sentinels outside the cottage, Lin Sen scattered the soldiers, and slowly advanced in the direction of the cottage in a group of 3 people, and he really guessed it, and quietly bypassed a few sentinels, and Lin Sen and several people came to a forest not far from the cottage to hide and observe.

After observing for most of the day, he returned to the village, and saw that Wang Hua had returned, and bought back more than 40 ploughing cattle and 15 fishing nets, two small canal drawings, as well as vegetable seeds and medicine seeds, and all of them were put into production, these things were bought by Wang Lei with people to the county seat, and then transferred from Qingfeng Village to Qingquan Village, and Qingfeng Village also left 20 ploughing cattle.

Consistently, just these 60 ploughing cattle have spent all the money that Qingfeng Village has earned in these days, but it still makes Lin Sen feel very satisfied, and it is really trouble-free to have a few talents in internal affairs, so that the efficiency of farming will be greatly improved in the future.

After two days of squatting and exploration, it was found that there were about 1,000 people in the cottage, which belonged to a small cottage, and there were two arrow towers on the mountain gate, each with ten archers. Usually there are no people in and out of the cottage, only when a large number of convoys carrying materials pass by under the mountain, the gate of the cottage will be opened, and a large number of thieves will come out to rob the mountain and return to the cottage happily.

Lin Sen encountered it once today, and saw a bandit running back to the cottage in a hurry, and after a while, the door of the village opened, and hundreds of thieves rushed down the mountain. After about an hour, hundreds of thieves drove back to the cottage in a wagon full of grain and silk.

Seeing these situations, Lin Sen suddenly took it to heart, quickly returned to the village, and came to the barracks to check the training results, the cavalry has completed the preliminary training, and they are all equipped with the captured green weapons and equipment, although the other soldiers have not been upgraded, they are also a lot stronger, and 50 highly qualified soldiers have been selected from the captured rogues to become militia, the cavalry has been formed, and the weapons and equipment have been distributed, but some people are still wearing some rough quality equipment, fortunately, they are not the main parts!

Lin Sen lamented that the scale of craftsmen is still too small, and there are great restrictions on the development of military strength, so he can't let the soldiers fight empty-handed, and he still has to find a way to expand the scale of craftsmen.

After a night of silence, on the morning of the second day, Lin Sen went to the butcher shop and the tavern to buy 100 catties of wine and meat, loaded them into the car, and went to the warehouse to transfer out 10 stone of grain, two carts of vegetables and dried fish, and brought all the jewelry seized during this period with him!

Fragrant bait can catch big fish!

Came to the barracks again, arranged for 20 militiamen to go out of the valley to collect the displaced people as usual, and the other soldiers gathered at the entrance of the village, Wang Kai had recovered from his injuries and participated in the battle as a general.

When there were still 100 meters away from Hutou Mountain, Lin Sen ordered Zhang Tie and Lu Gang to lead the infantry to quietly go around to the other end of the Hutou Mountain Road to hide and stand by, and he led the cavalry and archers to quietly ambush on this side of the mountain road.

After everything was ready, Lin Sen ordered the soldiers to slowly push the cart carrying the supplies to the foot of Hutou Mountain. Sure enough, hundreds of thieves ran down the mountain after a while, and the soldiers of the cart ran to Zhang Tie's side under Lin Sen's instructions, pulled out their knives and scolded in their mouths: "Let you bandits be arrogant for a while, and after a while, the master must cut off your heads to take revenge!" ”

The thieves saw the cart full of wine, meat and food, and they were all as happy as crazy, and when they returned to the cottage, the leader would definitely hold another big banquet, so that the wine and meat were enough for them to eat and drink beautifully, and they were so happy that they were completely unaware of Lin Sen's existence.

Lin Sen looked at this group of bandits, smiled coldly, and gave an order, the archers shot in unison, equipped with a high-grade longbow, and the hit rate of the archers was much higher, and dozens of bandits were killed and injured in one round. After the heavy cavalry under the leadership of Wang Kai launched a charge, more than 100 meters away, the cavalry was killed in an instant, the heavy cavalry has a strong impact, directly assaulted into the bandit crowd, slashed and killed, the bandits who died under the hooves of the war horse have one hundred and ten people, the bandits are in chaos, panicked.

After another round of fire from the archers, the infantry on Zhang Tie's side began to attack and joined the warband. After shooting a few rounds, Lin Sen put down his longbow, took off his spear and rode his war horse towards the bandits.

Lin Sen's soldiers are much more elite than the bandits, and the bandits and robbers generally do not have firm beliefs, and when they encounter people who are stronger than themselves, they either run or beg for mercy, this is the case at this moment, the bandits killed by Lin Sen's soldiers fled everywhere and cried for their fathers and mothers, and did not dare to resist. After a while, the bandits, led by a man who looked like a leader, threw down their weapons and surrendered.

Lin Sen stepped forward and asked, "Who are you from this cottage, and how many people are there on the mountain?" ”

"The villain is a small leader in the tiger head village, this time he is responsible for leading the brothers down the mountain to rob, there are more than 700 people in the cottage, and the big leader is also waiting for me to go back to report the good news."

Lin Sen asked again: "You can be convicted, do you want to make meritorious contributions?" ”

"The villains are guilty, and the villains are willing to be attached to the adults to make meritorious contributions, please ask the adults to command." The little leader looked terrified.

"In that case, you will lead your subordinates to push the cart and walk in front and deceive the gate of the village, which can be regarded as a meritorious service." Lin Sen said with a serious face.

The little leader knew Lin Sen's purpose at once, but at this moment he had fallen into the hands of people, if he dared to say a word, he might immediately splatter blood on the spot, gritted his teeth, and did it, saying: "The villain obeys the order, and the villain will do it." ”

Lin Sen found Zhang Tie to lead dozens of middle-level infantry to disguise themselves as bandits and blend in, Lin Hu was familiar with the location of those sentry spies on the mountain, and quietly touched the mountain with a few middle-level archers to clean up the sentry scouts in the cottage so that the army could attack later.

When everything was ready, the offensive began. The bandits walked in front of the team tremblingly, and came to the bottom of the mountain gate, and the bandits on the arrow tower shouted: "Brother Lu, how is it this time, the harvest is good." ”

The little leader of the bandits cheered up and replied: "That's for sure, our brother will definitely have a big harvest if he shoots, hurry up and open the cottage and let me wait in, it is estimated that the big leader will take us to drink wine and eat meat to celebrate." ”

"Squeak" The mountain gate opened, Zhang Tie saw this, and immediately led his subordinates to shout and kill into the cottage. The thieves in the cottage knew that they had been deceived, this was someone who wanted to attack the cottage, and then they wanted to close the gate of the village, how could this Lin Sen allow, and finally deceived the mountain gate open, if they let them close it, the strong attack won or lost, the loss was inevitable, he immediately ordered Wang Kai to lead the cavalry to rush into the cottage, and then the infantry raised his hand and shot at the arrow tower, a total of 20 people on the arrow tower, Lin Sen cooperated with the intermediate archers to shoot all the bandit archers for a while, and then commanded the archers to advance into the cottage.

Lin Sen's elite soldiers are a kind of slaughter for the bandits, basically one soldier against a few bandits, and there are five generals to lead, that feeling is like a broken bamboo, chopping melons and vegetables, but the number of bandits is more than twice that of Lin Sen's side, and it is impossible to win for a while.
