Chapter XVIII: Prelude to the Third Official Encirclement and Suppression

(The early bird has worms, ask for tickets, hehe)

The wood resources needed for upgrading are all complete, and even before, Xiaodao and Chen Dang had already assembled all the craftsmen they needed, and at this time, they got the order to upgrade, and the bandits in Prison Dragon Village were in full swing.

Upgrading the fifth-level cottage means that it is about to become famous all over the world, and the cottage has been led by the leader, one by one, and the joy that cannot be concealed on the face is hanging on the face, from now on, they are no longer a small thief, but one of the many anti-kings in the world.

It's just that the high-level people in the cottage are a little unmotivated, and they all look a little lost, even if they have a small knife that has been mentally prepared, there is a touch of sadness on their calm faces, Lu Bu is about to leave, for them, it is definitely a big blow.

In his previous life, he was used to seeing life and death, joys and sorrows, and in this regard, he was used to it, although looking at the depressed faces of his subordinates, it was inevitable that a little melancholy would rise in his heart, but it could not affect his determination.

Ten days later, with the cheers of all the bandits, the level 5 righteous hall that seemed to have a bit of grandeur was finally completed, and in the cheers of the bandits, Lu Bu also ushered in the long-awaited system prompt:

"Congratulations, under your leadership, the Prison Dragon Village has been successfully upgraded to a level 5 cottage, you have gained prestige 5w, and the reputation of the Prison Dragon Village has won a big victory, as the owner of the village, you have the right to move freely within Yangzhou."

"Due to the gradual increase in the strength of your cottage, the third encirclement and suppression of the prison dragon village by the Yangzhou government is about to begin, please be prepared."

Unlike the hints he got before the second encirclement and suppression, this last official encirclement and suppression prompt was very vague, and fortunately, Lu Bu never thought of relying too much on this thing, and he didn't feel caught off guard.

"Pass my order, all the generals above the leader, the Juyi Hall will be promoted to the account!" Taking a slow breath and suppressing the excitement in his heart, Lu Bu said in a deep voice.

Lu Bu empathized, if he was the governor of Yangzhou and wanted to exterminate the current Prison Dragon Village, at least 12,000 soldiers and horses would be enough, provided that the commander had Lu Bu's commanding ability.

Under the management of Lu Bu, the prison dragon village has been very different from the past, especially after the scorching evil incident, Lu Bu specially ordered people to be surrounded by traps around the cottage, not to mention outsiders, that is, people in the cottage, if you are not careful, you may be injured or even killed, today's prison dragon village, not so much a cottage as a fortress, nearly 8,000 troops, even if there are 12,000 people and commanded by Lu Bu, in the end it can only be regarded as a tragic victory.

Qin Shi Huang burned books and pit Confucianism, five chaotic and chaotic China, these two chaotic and dark eras, will be annihilated by the efforts of many sages in China, although the Tang Dynasty in the martial arts, the establishment of a system of rest, but many skills of the Han Dynasty have been annihilated in the long river of history.

And the mobilization of 12,000 soldiers and horses and the last transfer of 2,500 soldiers and horses are obviously not the same, the mobilization of soldiers and horses, the mobilization of grain, grass, and morale takes time, and 12,000 soldiers and horses are still Lu Bu speculated according to his own ability, Yangzhou City has not heard of any generals who can fight well, and this number is afraid to go up.

Since 2,500 soldiers and horses were wiped out in Yangzhou, although Wei Chigong has been recruiting troops and horses, but in the entire Yangzhou City, the number of troops can never exceed 100,000.

Chen Kang's thousand cavalry was sent by Lu Bu to plunder the surroundings, annihilating a small group of Sui troops, and using sneak attacks, dispersion, and various breakthroughs when encountering a large number of Sui troops, which also seriously delayed the gathering of troops in Yangzhou City.

Yangzhou City, the city lord's mansion

"What's going on? Can anyone explain it to me! Wei Chisheng threw a dossier on the face of a military general under the tent, his face was gloomy as water, and his eyes flashed with a terrifying coldness, as if he wanted to choose someone to devour at any time.

"Lord Yuwen is about to come to Yangzhou, if you learn that there are bandits in Yangzhou City, what do you say, what will he think of me? Well? Seeing that no one spoke, Wei Chi Sheng felt angry in his heart, and the serious cold grew.

A general stepped forward and said: "Chief, there are also 3w elite soldiers in my city, a level 5 cottage that has just been formed, and the last general is willing to lead the troops to the conquest, and he will not be sure to exterminate them." ”

"Okay, then how many soldiers are you going to take to suppress the bandits?" A playful look flashed in Wei Chisheng's eyes, and he looked at the general.

"This ......" The military general glanced at the people behind him in embarrassment, gritted his teeth and said: "The prison dragon village is not what it used to be, and the last general thinks that the whole city should be poured into the army to suppress the bandits!" ”

"Bang~"

The sole of one foot kicked the general's face fiercely, and Wei Chisheng roared with some anger: "The soldiers have been taken away by you, who will guard Yangzhou City?" ”

This kick was angry, and the general's body was directly kicked upside down, slammed into the door frame, and fell to the ground in a dejected manner, unconscious, and the other generals saw this, and lowered their heads.

It's no wonder that the military general Lion opened his mouth, when the prison dragon village had just been promoted to the third level, the strength was less than a thousand, but it was under the encirclement and suppression of tens of thousands of strangers and 2500 elite soldiers, and the elite troops of Yangzhou City 2500 were annihilated, and now it is a fifth-level cottage, and there are cavalry in the prison dragon village, which turned the villages and towns in the entire Yangzhou City upside down, making it impossible for the army to assemble, which shows its bravery, there are fewer soldiers, I am afraid that no one dares to go.

"The chief steward is angry, and his subordinates think that it is not impossible to pour the whole city into the army." After Wei Chi Sheng had calmed down a little bit of anger, a middle-aged scribe walked out of the queue behind him.

Wei Chisheng said with some dissatisfaction: "Chen Shoubei, how can you say this?" ”

"At present, the reason why we can't gather troops is that the horse thieves who come and go without a trace are too threatening to our army, and they are extremely cunning, if we attack the prison dragon village with the army of the city, they are worried about the safety of the prison dragon village, and they will definitely return to defend the village, so that the local troops of our army can gather in Yangzhou City unimpeded, and Yangzhou City will not have the dilemma of no soldiers available." The middle-aged scribe was calm and composed.

"Do you know that these horse thieves will not attack my city directly?" Wei Chisheng said dissatisfied, this plan is very risky, when the whole city is exhausted, it is also the emptiest time in Yangzhou City, if the other party launches an attack at this time and is attacked by horse thieves into Yangzhou City, then he, the governor of Yangzhou, will not have the face to do it anymore.

If it is peacetime, he can take his time, although the horse thief has delayed the assembly of the army, but it is only delayed, as long as the local army is ordered to assemble nearby, forming a large army, the horse thief only has a thousand people, in the face of the army of tens of thousands of people gathered, he does not dare to attack blatantly, in this way, Yangzhou City is naturally worry-free, and there are forces to deal with the prison dragon village.

The problem is that Yu Wenhua wants to come over at this juncture, and Yu Chisheng belongs to Yuwen Valve, Yangzhou is also the territory of Yuwen Valve, Yuwen Valve attaches great importance to Yangzhou, and it is also the reason why there are few thieves near Yangzhou City to become bigger.

"Rest assured, the thieves are no more than a thousand, and they are all cavalry, we only need to close the city gate, so that the enemy will have no chance, no matter how stupid the thief chief is, it is impossible for the cavalry to dismount and attack the city." The middle-aged scribe said confidently.

"Okay, according to what you said, go down and prepare immediately, within five days, prepare the grain, grass, soldiers and horses, and go out to the prison dragon village!" Yu Chisheng nodded fiercely and said in a deep voice.

……

"Lord, Chen Dang has already intercepted and killed 17 military horses, killing nearly 10,000 people, and now he is moving closer here!" In the Juyi Hall, Xiaodao said to Lu Bu with an excited face, after Chen Dare led his own troops to fight, he was almost invincible, following Lu Bu's instructions, he would fight if he had fought, and he would leave if he couldn't fight, and he would never clash head-on with the main force.

"No, I have to go to Yangzhou City in person!" Looking at the huge map of Yangzhou on the table, Lu Bu suddenly hammered the table case, a strange light flashed in his eyes, and he turned his head to look at Xiaodao and Li Xiang, who were startled by this move, and said: "When I am not there, you two guard the cottage!" ”

"Our army is in good form, why is the lord so nervous?" Knife, Li Xiang and the others were quite puzzled.

"A good piece?" Lu Bu sneered, pointed to the map and said: "Within the jurisdiction of the entire Yangzhou City, the active forces are almost shaken, and it can be regarded as a captivating city, the Prison Dragon Village is just a cottage that has just been upgraded to the fifth level, I don't know what happened to Yangzhou City, but with Wei Chigong's person, he suddenly made such a big determination, and did not hesitate to spend a lot of manpower to clean up us, if there is not something wrong, or there is a big man in the Sui Imperial Court to come!" If we don't find out, we'll be defeated! ”

"This kind of thing, its own thief battalion is responsible, why should the lord risk his life?" The knife was puzzled, and at the same time squinted at the thief who was standing behind him and was in charge of intelligence reconnaissance, his blade-like gaze made the thief's heart tremble involuntarily, and his face was a little bitter.

"I can't blame him, our thief detection ability is insufficient, and it is difficult to improve in the short term, for today's plan, only I can go in person, or I can find some clues." Lu Bu waved his hand.

"In that case, it's better to let your subordinates go! The body of the lord is ten thousand gold, if there is a half-point difference in the pool, I will die unforgivingly. The knife hurriedly blocked in front of Lu Bu and bowed.

"You?" Lu Bu glanced at the knife with relief, then shook his head and said, "This matter must be done by me personally, and no one in the army is competent." If you want to find out the news in this regard, you must be proficient in the deployment of the city and have a considerable understanding of the layout of the barracks, and in addition, your skills must not be too bad.

Although Xiaodao has learned a lot from Lu Bu this year, most of them are martial arts or marching formations, and in terms of arranging the city, it is like a blank sheet of paper, let him go, even if he returns safely, he will not be able to find anything.

Xiaodao and Li Xiang glanced at each other, and they both saw the shame in each other's eyes, and after Lu Bu comforted the two, he set off in the direction of Yangzhou City with the leader of the thief camp that day.
