Chapter 156: Stratagem

Since Liu Man'er came to this harrier village, one is because she doesn't want to be separated from Ye Yuan, and the other is because she wants to see if she can come up with a way to help Ye Yuan.

Anyway, as a later generation, although she has not read the book of war, she has seen a lot of things about the war even if she watches TV, and she still knows some of all kinds of tricks, so after waking up the next day, Liu Man'er rested for a while, and then asked Ye Yuan to take her around.

The main purpose is to observe the terrain of this harrier village carefully, although Ye Yuan didn't know what Liu Man'er wanted to do, but it was rare for her to make a request, so she brought a hundred soldiers and personally accompanied Liu Man'er around this harrier village.

Liu Man'er looked at it, no wonder these people are not very easy to attack, although there is only one road in this harrier village, but there are mountains on both sides of this road, if people go to the middle, this harrier village only needs to roll down some stones, the things in the roller, it is enough to smash people half to death.

With such a small number of people, it is impossible to storm it.

However, after Liu Man'er looked around, Liu Man'er immediately came up with a plan that could make them obediently go down the mountain and surrender.

The strategy is actually very simple, but it is just to treat her people in the way of others, this horse bandit burned her village, and also burned her home, and she also attacked with fire, not afraid that they would not go down the mountain.

This harrier village is like a mouth, they hide in the mouth, the smoke can't come out, the wind is strong, and when it blows, it will naturally be smoked out.

Of course, those death row prisoners will not surrender, Liu Man'er mainly wants to let those people who still have a little conscience be able to escape from the mountains by taking advantage of this smoke, as for those who are really vicious, they will definitely choose small mountain roads to escape, as long as they let them guard these small roads, there is no need to worry.

So Liu Man'er came over this time, also to find out if there is any path in this harrier village, but unfortunately her handsome did not bring it, otherwise, she could have explored the road.

But don't worry, there are still some unbewitched villagers near this harrier village, just ask the hunter or woodcutter among them.

"Ye Yuan, you ask someone to go to a nearby village and ask, what path does this Harrier Village have to go down the mountain?" Liu Man'er looked sideways at Ye Yuan, the two were very close.

After hearing Liu Man'er's words, Ye Yuan immediately ordered someone to ask, and asked Liu Man'er again, "Madam, do you have any good ideas?" ”

"Don't call me Madame, I'm getting goosebumps." When Liu Man'er heard Ye Yuan call her like this, she felt a little alienated, and said, "I did think of an idea, but I still have to go back and discuss it with you to see if it is appropriate." ”

"Okay." Ye Yuan didn't say much, just accompanied her to see the scenery around her.

It is in April and May, the scenery is excellent, if it is not for the haze of horse bandits on the heads of the two, it is also a good place to go in spring.

The two of them wandered slowly on the road, and after a while, those who went to ask for directions also came back, this question, it was really a few trails, in addition to the main road, there were still three or two trails, Liu Man'er and Ye Yuan went to take a look, but they were inevitably discovered by these horse thieves, just turned around and wrote down the location, and went back.

Back at the tent, Ye Yuan asked her, "Man'er, you just said you have a good plan?" ”

"I can't call it a good policy, this is what I saw from a book, and it is quite appropriate to use it here at this moment." Liu Man'er said: "What I think of is to attack with fire. ”

"Fire?" Ye Yuan hesitated for a moment, and then his body paused, as if he suddenly realized, "Man'er, you are so smart, this is indeed a good idea." ”

"It would be nice to be able to help you." Liu Man'er smiled slightly.

After Ye Yuan heard the idea of attacking with fire, he first walked around the tent, and then sat in front of the case, wrote and painted, and made a plan.

At this moment, it is already the end of spring and the beginning of summer, and the grass in this harrier village is growing densely at the moment.

"Man'er, no wonder you're looking for a path, do you want us to sneak up and sprinkle oil and light a fire?" Ye Yuan looked sideways at Liu Man'er.

"Well, by the way, you can hold this road and wipe out all the horse bandits who escaped." Liu Man'er's eyes were fierce.

Burn my house, hehehe, I'll burn your nest now.

Harrier village is easy to defend and difficult to attack good, but no matter how difficult the village is to attack down, this harrier village still has a path to go up, in history, some of the danger of the village, soldiers do not use the zipline can not go up at all, but also a way to take them down.

Liu Man'er was able to think of this way, or because of a character Liu Bowen learned in the history of his previous life, it is said that he was a prodigy when he was a child, and his reputation was far and wide.

Liu Bowen was thinking of attacking with fire, the terrain of the village was several times more dangerous than this harrier village, there was no grass on the mountain, Liu Bowen asked people to make a batch of arrows without arrows, tied grass seeds on them, and let people shoot into the village.

Four months later, on top of the stockade, the weeds grew and were everywhere, and finally Liu Bowen had people ignite them with rockets, and the bandits were wiped out in an instant.

This strategy is called the grass seed plan, and now there is grass on this harrier village, which is quite dense, so she doesn't have to work so hard to wait for the grass to grow, and she let people go to the path to ambush, which should be successful.

Ten thousand steps back, in case these key horse bandits hide in the woods and are not caught, she can also get the food they have stolen and distribute it to the villagers, so that the villagers can survive this spring.

These horse bandits have no food, how long can they hide in the mountains?

When the time comes, these 500 men can not only ambush the small road, but also hold the main road, and when the time comes, these horse bandits will have no way to escape.

After thinking of this strategy, Ye Yuan told his subordinates, and at night, they began to prepare, first let people take a small road, of course, although the horse thieves also let people defend a mountain road, but there was no one on this path, after the people guarding the entrance of the cave were solved, Ye Yuan's soldiers secretly sprinkled oil on the way to the entrance of the cave, and then lit a fire from afar.

This harrier village is full of rough men, except for the grass at the entrance of the cave and the road connecting to the road on weekdays, no such diligent people will take the initiative to come over to weed, but at this moment, it is to provide convenience for their fire attack plan.

Although some of these grasses are new, there are also many old ones, and these people are carrying torches and lighting fires everywhere, just a little bit.

Seeing that the fire was getting bigger and bigger, the people arranged by Ye Yuan came down the mountain and ambushed them on several trails at the foot of the mountain.

When the fire has reached a certain level, the people guarding the road found out, and they hurriedly went into the cave to inform, however, the water source of this harrier village is not developed, and it is not so simple to extinguish.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, some of the people who were forced to come fled down the mountain, Ye Yuan asked them to take care of them and ask them later, while others planned to escape from the path.

"Big brother, this fire was set by the imperial court, let's go quickly." Someone shouted.

"No, I'm in this cave, and the fire can't burn." This big brother of the horse bandits, in his heart, has already remembered the grandeur of the situation when he will have more and more subordinates in the future, and he will be the king of the mountain, where can he think that this despicable and shameless person would attack with fire.

Yes, the fire can't burn, but the smoke from all directions is enough to stun people.

It just so happens that some of the grass is not dry yet, but the advantage of wet grass is that the smoke is big, and the smoke goes straight into the cave, and some horse bandits who can't stand it have begun to pack up and flee.

In the end, the bandit leader had to pack up his things and run out with a knife.

Originally, I wanted to start developing from this harrier village, but I didn't expect their plan to die in the womb.

As Liu Man'er expected, these vicious people did not dare to take the big road, but could only take the small road.

They were cautious and cautious all the way, for fear of encountering people from the imperial court, but their luck was good, and they didn't meet a single officer or soldier.

"Fortunately, I still know two paths, otherwise this time it would have been over." When we were about to get down the hill, a horse bandit said.

However, as soon as the man finished speaking, he was hit by an arrow in the chest.

Immediately after, more and more arrows were fired at them, and after dodging for a while, a group of officers and soldiers suddenly appeared.

"You're ambushing here?" The voices of the remaining people trembled a little.

"yes, now that you know you're going to break in?" As he spoke, these officers and soldiers slowly surrounded them and escorted them away.

This operation went very smoothly, although Liu Man'er did not follow Ye Yuan, she originally wanted to follow, but Ye Yuan was afraid that she would be in danger, so he only let her stay in the camp and let people watch her.

The fire burned until midnight and was slowly extinguished, and the entire Harrier Village was full of smoke and dust.

The next day, Ye Yuan asked these horse bandits to be sent to the government, and transported the grain they robbed down the mountain, intending to return it to the people.

Of course, those gentry and landlords should not think about it, but in fact, most of the finances in this are those of these gentry and landlords, and the common people are in the minority.

Ye Yuan distributed the grain to the people of several nearby villages, and some other silver taels, Ye Yuan distributed them to his soldiers as a reward for their operation, and the rest was used for military expenses.

When Liu Man'er saw it, she smiled and said, "You bandits are still listening well, and you can also increase military spending." ”

Ye Yuan only smiled and said, "Rob the rich and help the poor." ”

Liu Man'er also laughed, she didn't expect that in just over a month, these horse bandits had looted so much property.

Of course, she didn't want to think about the things she lost, but it was a great thing to be able to sweep away this horse bandit den and bring these horse bandits to justice, and the haze that had been bothering everyone's hearts could finally be dissipated.

As for the shadow left behind, I'm afraid it will be difficult to dissipate.
