Chapter 45: Night Attack on Cliff Mountain

Zhao Hengyi believes that after coming to the Great Yan Kingdom, his biggest advantage is not that he knows how to make a crossbow with iron, how to transform a loom, or some other strange knowledge.

My biggest advantage in this Great Yan Country is that I can inspire people and far exceed the vision and insight of this era!

Whether it is the veterans who have killed barbarians on the battlefield, or the domestic servants trained by Song Ying'an, compared with the people he has come into contact with in his previous life, they are all too simple!

As soon as a few words of encouragement were said, everyone's blood boiled, and the hatred for the bandits in Cliff Mountain was instantly full!

No, there is also a sober guy, that is Song San who has been smiling.

But it doesn't matter, this Song steward doesn't have to go to the battlefield.

The information brought by Song San was by no means just a detailed map, what the thieves of Cliff Mountain had done over the years had done to hurt the heavens and cause people to be angry and resentful, and they were also sorted out very clearly.

Murder and exfiltration, kidnapping and looting, human trafficking, harvesting and cutting...... One by one, one by one, everyone was angry!

Compared with these inhumane evil things, it is to go to various villages to beg for food, causing ordinary people to starve to death, which is not so conspicuous.

Zhao Hengyi's entry point is extremely special, if you really want to deal with the bandits of Cliff Mountain, as the main force of the battle, the pawns and servants are not from Yushuwan, no matter how dangerous Yushuwan is and how serious the consequences are, it is difficult for these guys who have no sense of belonging to be mobilized emotionally.

However, when the actions of the bandits are presented in detail and clearly in front of everyone's eyes, just these unconscionable and inhumane things can easily mobilize everyone's emotions and arouse everyone's righteous indignation!

Although he is a little unkind, Zhao Hengyi also has a clear conscience.

The soldiers were very fast, and after a group of people made a plan, they quickly rushed towards the location of the cliff mountain.

After Song San handed over the thirty elite servants to Zhao Hengyi, he didn't ask anymore, but stayed in Yushuwan with a few slaves in green clothes and small hats, saying that he was waiting for Zhao Gongzi to break the thief's good news!

This guy is by no means as simple as an ordinary housekeeper, and Zhao Hengyi didn't bother to figure out Song San at this time, so he simply agreed neatly.

However, after Zhao Hengyi left with people, Liu Shuang, who had been detained in the back mountain by the village chief, took advantage of the lack of manpower to escape.

This splash who only knows gambling money has almost been forgotten by the villagers, except for the person in charge of taking care of him who was reprimanded by the village chief for a few words, Liu Shuang's escape did not cause any waves.

When the sun was setting, Zhao Hengyi rushed to the vicinity of Cliff Mountain with people.

Under his orders, Song San sent people here early to prepare a large number of materials needed to attack Broken Cliff Mountain.

Although there are not many kinds of utensils, the types are complex, and there are many materials that cannot be purchased on the market, but now, they are all classified and placed in front of Zhao Hengyi.

Dealing with the bandits in Cliff Mountain is not only an opportunity for Song San to observe Zhao Hengyi from the side, but also an opportunity for Zhao Hengyi to test this Song steward.

At present, the answer given by Song San can be called a full score!

The hunting team and the escort team were once again released to act as scouts, while the main team attacking the Broken Cliff Mountain Cottage listened to Zhao Hengyi's final tactical explanation while repairing.

It's not that Zhao Hengyi underestimates the bandits, but in this era, even if the bandits in Cliff Mountain are more sophisticated than the other bandits, they can't change the essence of their rabble.

The only difficulty in attacking Cliff Mountain is the stone wall that crosses the only way up the mountain.

Once they reach the top of the mountain, they are all equipped with crossbows, and the main forces who can shoot accurately and skillfully will definitely be able to form a one-sided slaughter of the bandits with skillful cooperation and veteran experience!

And most of the materials that Zhao Hengyi asked Song San to prepare were to deal with the stone wall.

According to Wang Dahu and a group of old soldiers, that stone wall is definitely from the hands of the old soldiers!

The stone wall is three or four meters wide, and not only can people stand on it and shoot arrows, but also throw stones, rolling wood, rolling oil, and other weapons that can only be used to defend the city!

On both sides of the stone wall, there are even two arrow towers, and when facing foreign enemies, archers can be arranged to form crossfire!

Ordinary bandits don't have this knowledge!

It's just that everyone is not surprised by this situation.

In the current world of Dayan Kingdom, the veterans who have retired from the border army have everything to do to make a living.

There are those who honestly go home to farm, those who rely on the skills they have cultivated in the army to act as nurses, and those who go to the big cities to sell coolies.

If you have to blame anything, you can only blame this dog-day world!

Even the veterans who took refuge in Zhao Hengyi are now preparing to fight for their lives for a salary of 200 wen a month?

Zhao Hengyi asked Song San to prepare not only materials, but also seven or eight craftsmen with quick hands and feet.

When the last rays of sunlight disappeared into the earth, the craftsmen used the tools they brought with them to make wooden parts that were not complicated.

These parts will be used to assemble trebuchets and watchtowers.

Of course, these two large-scale equipment that should have been used in the frontal siege battlefield were just Zhao Hengyi's back-up hands prepared in advance, and the most efficient was to take advantage of the night to sneak into the camp.

The main attack team consisted of carefully selected eighty people, and Zhao Hengyi divided them into eight ten-person teams, each led by a squad leader.

The crowd quietly lay in ambush at the foot of the cliff mountain with the wooden parts made by the craftsmen, and waited until the darkest time before dawn, when the nerves were at their most exhausted, and then they attacked.

The bandits in Cliff Mountain are really different from other locks, at the foot of the mountain, on the only mountain road up the mountain, there are bright sentry and dark piles, and they will change guards every two hours.

This further confirms the speculation in everyone's hearts, the big boss of the bandit one-eyed golden eagle must have been born in the army, and it is very likely to be an elite border army!

It's just that on the defense line of Yonggu City, no one has heard of Fang Dayong, maybe from other border troops, or maybe he uses a pseudonym.

It's just that these so-called arrangements may come in handy against other bandits or local officials and soldiers who come to encircle and suppress them, but in the face of a group of elite veterans of the Xuanzi Battalion and a team of elite servants trained by Song Ying'an himself, it is too child's play.

The veterans intended to show off their skills in front of the new owner, and a team of ten people, under the leadership of the captain, quietly pulled out six hidden piles in a row!

Just when Zhao Hengyi thought that his group of people could quietly touch the stone wall, and then climb the wall to kill the bandits guarding it, a terrible scream pierced the night sky!

I saw that on the stone wall, a figure suddenly jumped out and fell heavily on the hard ground!

Bang!
