Chapter 24 Target Baoqing Mountain

After the unremitting efforts of a group of people, finally in the cottage "Juyi Hall", Cao Hu's tiger skin found a mechanism on the back of the first seat, activated the mechanism, the seat moved slowly, and a secret room appeared under the seat.

The secret room is not big, and Liu Yu walked into the secret room. There were three large boxes inside, and the trap camp sergeant was stationed next to it.

Looking at these three boxes, Liu Yu knew that this was the small vault that Cao Hu was talking about. Without thinking about it, he ordered "open".

Hearing the order, several sergeants stepped forward, drew their knives out of their sheaths, and slammed into the copper locks on the box. With a "bang", the copper lock was split, and the sergeant slowly opened the box. I saw a faint treasure light in the box, and I almost "shook" Liu Yu's eyes. Of these boxes, one contains all kinds of jewelry, one contains precious things to play with, and the rest contains 'golden' gold, which is estimated to be several thousand taels. You must know that gold is more than one to one hundred than silver, that is to say, there are hundreds of thousands of taels of gold alone.

"You! A little bandit leader is rich here, and those big bandits should be rich! These gold and silver treasures greatly stimulated Liu Yu, and just thinking about it made Liu Yu's blood boil.

In this surprise attack on Black Tiger Mountain, Liu Yu wiped out the bandits with zero losses, and harvested a total of 73,000 taels of silver, 3,500 taels of gold, and two large boxes of jewelry. Food weapons are not counted.

Obediently, a little bandit is so rich. Liu Yu, who studied economics in his previous life, quickly figured out an account. Attacking small bandits, with negligible casualties and a lot of gains, is simply a classic for nothing, so why not.

Immediately, Liu Yu made a decision, and the seven brigades of the trapping camp attacked separately to sweep away various small bandits in Beiyan County. After more than ten days of sporadic encirclement and suppression, the small-scale bandits in the entire Beiyan County, who were small in number and had the strength to resist, had disappeared one after another under the joint strangulation of the seven brigades in the trapped camp.

Gradually, the small bandits, who paid the least and gained the most, were left to fight. Liu Yu, who has already reaped a lot of benefits from the bandits, will certainly not give up this kind of capitalless business.

Considering the original intention of military training. Small and medium-sized bandits, the strength is relatively low. Encircling and suppressing them and trapping them in the camp is simply playing with them, and they cannot get effective exercise. Liu Yu skipped the medium-sized bandits and directly set his sights on the three largest bandits in the territory.

The three major bandits are all deeply rooted, and there are many masters, and even the officers and soldiers are taboo about three points. And among them, the strongest, the longest, and probably the richest are the Baoqingshan bandits. The extermination of the bandits in Baoqingshan not only took into account the two original intentions of training troops and harvesting money, but also destroyed the confidence and courage of the bandits in Beiyan County in one fell swoop. You must know that bandits fight all rely on ruthlessness, and without confidence and courage, bandits are like toothless tigers.

Considering various reasons, Liu Yu set his sights on Baoqing Mountain. Originally, some people raised different opinions, but under Liu Yu's repeated resoluteness, the Baoqing Mountain bandits became the preferred target for encirclement and suppression in the trapped camp.

Baoqing Mountain, as the junction of Yanming and Mingming, is a rare mountain with a radius of dozens of kilometers. Coupled with its dense woods, it forms a natural barrier invisibly. Since the confrontation between Yan and Ming, there has been a group of bandits on Baoqing Mountain that can never be exterminated.

Compared with the bandits in Black Tiger Mountain, the bandits in Baoqing Mountain are not so simple. The bandit leader of Baoqingshan bandits, Wang Chong, is shrewd and capable, quite righteous, and has a high prestige in the green forest. His people are good at drilling camps, and even when the two countries of Ming and Yan were at war, they were left and right and got a lot of benefits.

The Baoqingshan bandits under his command are well-trained and well-equipped. There are even many of them when the Ming and Yan countries were at war, and the Ming and Yan countries have been relatively good for many years, and they have not seen any defeated troops leave, which shows the high prestige of the Ming and Yan countries.

After more than ten days of anti-bandit operations, most of the major bandits in Beiyan County knew the information that some people were frantically suppressing bandits. Small and medium-sized bandits can't help but be secretly on guard, and they also form alliances with each other, vowing that "if one side is in trouble, all sides will support". Some of the big bandits are dismissive, they are also quite confident in their own strength, and they should eat and drink.

The reality is always cruel, who knows that Liu Yu did not target small and medium-sized bandits, but directly aimed at the strongest Baoqing Mountain bandits. In the eyes of ordinary people, this is looking for death.

Considering the Baoqing Castle bandits, they are well-trained and no less than the general army. It has become relatively difficult to detect the enemy's situation. On the eve of the suppression of bandits, Liu Yu specially invited skilled craftsmen, wasted several crystals, and successfully polished several concave lenses and convex lenses. Liu Yu used these things to make several simple monoculars, which Liu Yu named "clairvoyance".

The clairvoyant mirror is used for 'magical', at least in this world, where this thing has not yet been invented. Therefore, when Liu Yu took out the "clairtelescope" he invented, the trapped camp sergeant's awe of Liu Yu went up to another level.

Liu Yu selected a few sergeants from the trapping camp, who were good at light martial arts and good at reconnaissance, and organized them into a separate scout team. And give them the finished "clairplane" to use.

Time flies. After resting for two days, under Liu Yu's order, he once again embarked on the road of suppressing bandits. In order to reduce casualties, Liu Yu also chose the method of night raid.

Among the surrounding peaks, there is no higher existence than the hill where the bandit cottage is located. The foreign enemy could not stand on his feet and knew nothing about the situation in the cottage. The bandits in the mountains, on the other hand, can take in everything around them. Once there is an invasion of foreign enemies, the bandits in the mountains can have enough time to prepare.

Moreover, on the way up the mountain, it is not known how many light and dark sentinels exist, and there are even many traps. If you are not careful, you will be alerted by bandits, and in serious cases, you will suffer heavy losses.

In the dark night, in order not to make a sound, the road is not smooth, and thorns are everywhere. From the foot of Baoqing Mountain, rush to the edge of the peak where the bandits of Baoqing Mountain are located. The distance in the straight line is only ten miles, but it took half a day to trap the camp. Fortunately, it was not yet early in the morning when Liu Yu set off, and when he arrived at his destination, it was the darkest time.

The scout team attacked separately, sneaked into the grass, and took out a clairvoyant mirror to observe. It's just a small copper tube, and the two ends are less than a foot long, and the small head is only the size of an eye, and the big head is the size of a baby's fist, and it is much rougher than the monoculars on earth, and of course the observation distance is much closer.

Liu Yu also held the camera and scanned the path up and down the mountain back and forth at Baoqingshan. In my heart, the leader of the bandits in Baoqingshan, Wang Chong, chose this place is still relatively level. Not only is the mountain road rugged, but the mountain is also quite dangerous, which can be described as easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Looking at the steep mountain road, Liu Yu's face was cloudy, and he secretly thought, "It seems that today will be a tough battle, and if you don't do it well, there will be big losses, so be cautious"

Soon, the scouts who went to reconnoitre secretly sneaked back in twos and threes.

"Your Highness, there are three outposts on this path where we are, all of which are set up in dangerous places, and all of them are guarded by crossbowmen. There are probably two secret sentinels, one hidden in the branches and the other in the grass."

"Your Highness, there are also roads up and down the mountain in the south, and there are also three clear posts, but there are probably three secret posts. He also deliberately turned to the north, and like the one on the west side, it was particularly steep and there was no way to go. ”

Hearing the scouts' report, Liu Yu was very dissatisfied, "What does it mean?" You must know that the slightest mistake will lead to our destruction.

The scout said with a sad face, "Your Highness, the sky is dark, the terrain here is complicated, and the grass and trees are dense. The subordinates are really uncertain.

Liu Yu also knew that the dim night not only covered for his own raid, but also for the bandits' secret outposts. No matter how elite their scouts are, they can't effectively identify each of the various sentries and traps one by one.

When Liu Yu set the target for the bandits in Baoqing Mountain, he was already mentally prepared and treated this crackdown on the bandits as a major difficulty. But when the difficulties are really in front of us. Only then did he feel that his mental preparation was still a little insufficient, and he had ignored too many things. If one is not good, his camp will suffer heavy losses.

There are two choices in front of Liu Yu, one is to take the initiative to attack, and the other is to wait for the bandits from Baoqing Mountain to come down the mountain. Bandits and bandits always have to come down the mountain to harm the people.
