Chapter 054: Defeat the Water Bandits
After twenty days, Ye Xing had also encoded thousands of commonly used words and handwritten them into two coding books for 8 people to use.
8 people are studious and daring, and they are constantly improving, and now they can transmit signals between several hills, and the receiver has also been improved, and they can make holes of different sizes on the paper to represent the different signals received.
If you erect a taller antenna, you can send it farther.
Ye Xing tested it and pointed out that the direction of transmission should be concentrated, the receiving antenna should be large, and the transmitting power should be increased.
Now a pair of big birds, flying back and forth between the two places many times, can already allow the two places to communicate letters.
The training of Hujiao Mountain and Osmanthus Peak has not yet met the requirements, but it can no longer wait, mainly because the food has run out.
Hujiao Mountain and Guihua Peak both claim to be bandits, but it is impossible to really rob, this is a barren ore producing area, it should not be a poor place, but one thing is certain, that is, it does not produce much food, and there are no wild beasts.
During this time, the oil base was already using the stolen silver to buy grain to support the two mountains, but it was difficult to maintain it at all;
You can only go to other distant towns to buy it, but there is no food to buy in the neighboring towns, and the amount of food purchased is too large.
Ye Xing asked Li Yishan and Liang Zhihong of Osmanthus Peak to join forces, preparing to attack the White Dragon Society first.
The White Dragon will be a water thief, slightly weaker than the Black Wind Thief, and the White Dragon Water Village is not far from the oil base, if you want to develop the base, you must first pull out this threat;
Moreover, Ye Xing has the idea to control the transportation on this river by himself.
The two sides sent teams to first clear all the spies, leaving only a small number of cottages on both sides to protect the rear, and then most of the men and horses were stationed only 20 miles away from the Bailong Water Village, with a total of 1,000 people, calling themselves the Tianxing Gang.
Ye Xing and Li Qifeng still won't intervene and let them make their own decisions, but the stakes are high, so the two of them and all the instructors came.
In the temporary station, the main captains were summoned for a pre-battle meeting, and in a large cave, a few tables were set up, and then a few rows of benches, and all the core personnel came one after another.
Li Yishan and Liang Zhihong invited Ye Xing and the others to take a seat, but Ye Xing and the others refused, just sat down and only let the two of them immediately conduct intelligence analysis and how to make decisions.
The two of them looked at Ye Xing, Li Qifeng and the instructors, they were completely observant, and they knew that it was the time to test the two of them, so they were not polite, and began to analyze the intelligence of Bailong Water Village.
Bailong Water Village is built on the edge of the mountain at the foot of the river and the bay, and has existed for dozens of hundreds of years, and is deeply rooted.
There are 1,200 to 1,300 people in Shuizhai, many of whom are family members of water bandits, most of whom are fishermen, and their water quality is very good.
There are two main and deputy leaders in Bailong Water Village, both of whom are above the 9th floor the day after tomorrow, and they have reached the 9th floor many years ago, and there are dozens of bandits on the 7th and 8th floors, as for the others, they are just fishermen on the river who are not high.
These bandits did not use arrows very much, but mostly short knives, and were very fierce, and passing ships had to pay tolls to allow them to sail, and they would kill people and set fire to them if they were not satisfied.
The combat effectiveness of the water bandits on land will not be too strong, and the only way to lure them to the land for a decisive battle is to prevent the water bandits from escaping, and they can overcome the enemy's shortcomings with their own strengths.
Intelligence shows that this White Dragon Society does not have any war horses, so solving it on land is the only option.
Then all that's left is how to get the water bandits out and fight a decisive battle on land!
And in order to prevent accidents, you must fight quickly, otherwise the lack of food here will collapse first.
Everyone attending the meeting was silent, bowing their heads and frowning, and Ye Xing and the instructors were the same, not saying a word.
Liang Zhihong stared at the captains and said, "I have an idea, if you want to force the other party to go ashore, there is only one reliable way, that is, the water village is on fire, so that the other party can return people and food to the shore." Then we will use the war horse impact as the leader, and the battle can be decided. ”
Everyone immediately said yes, and even Ye Xing nodded with satisfaction, indeed, treating the other party's shortcomings with their own strengths is the best way.
Li Yishan said, "We are short of food now, so we can only sell it in these few days." Now how to set fires, it can't be too big, the grain is burned out, and we have no food to eat ourselves. But it can't be too small, and the other party must be given time to move ashore. ”
"And it has to be set on fire in the middle of the night, so that the other party is chaotic, and it is only a fire. When everyone is ashore, we will attack, and we will fight. ”
Everyone continued to speak, discussing various details, Ye Xing and Li Qifeng only listened without speaking, and the instructors took pens to write, recorded everyone's speeches, and compiled them into a report.
After everyone finished speaking, they stopped talking, and everyone finally looked at Ye Xing and Li Qifeng.
Li Qifeng didn't say a word, looked at Ye Xing, and gestured to speak to Ye Xing.
Ye Xing stood up, with a smile on his face, and said happily:
"Excellent! It's good that people learn to think, analyze and do things again, and don't make impulsive decisions. ”
"I only have one proposal, you pour some black oil upstream, and then when you float to the water village, light the black oil, so that you can achieve your idea, don't be too hot, just force it to go ashore."
Everyone clapped their hands and applauded loudly, and Ye Xing pressed his hands to silence everyone.
Ye Xing added: "Black oil went to my oil base, Mu Zilang has prepared dozens of barrels. ”
After speaking, he stood up and motioned for Ye Qifeng to walk out, and the instructors also got up and walked out.
Ye Xing and Li Qifeng, when they went up to the top of the mountain, looked at each other and smiled, stretched out their hands to make a move towards each other, and then the fight started between the woods on the top of the mountain, and there was no battle for almost a month, and their hands were itchy.
During this time, Ye Xing went all out for foreign affairs and had no cultivation at all, so he was a little miserable;
In addition to his face, he was hit by the inhuman senior brother in many places, and Ye Xing screamed in pain regardless of his manners.
Ye Xing saw that there was no good result today, so he had to quickly stop moving, and no matter how Li Qifeng moved, he pretended to be dead.
Li Qifeng, there has been a lot of progress during this time, so he naturally refuses to give up, but Ye Xing didn't give a chance at all, so he threw a rope, hung it on the edge of the cliff, and then slipped down the rope.
Looking at Ye Xing, who fled without any intention of resisting, Li Qifeng was so angry that he shouted loudly, "Shrinking turtle!" Then laughed again.
Three days later, in the evening, Li Yishan and Liang Zhihong invited Ye Xing and Li Qifeng, and said, "Two commanders, we have asked Mu Zilang to use two small fishing boats to bring ten barrels of black oil to the upstream place, and now set off to ambush near Shuizhai and wait for the fire to start." ”
Ye Xing nodded and said to Li Qifeng, "The two of us will deal with two masters!" ”
Turning to the two of them, he said, "Set off in batches immediately, and you must not let the enemy find out." ”
The two nodded, and told everyone to abandon their horses and march in batches. The road is calm, there are no lights, no moonlight, no starlight, it is the best time.
Sent a powerful killer to clear the sentinels five miles away from the water village, and the 1,000-strong Tianxing Gang, divided into ten groups, quietly hid in the mountains and forests, just waiting for an order.
Midnight had passed, there was no movement, and everyone was a little impatient.
More than half an hour passed, but nothing had happened. Even Ye Xing was a little strange, could there be any accident, the big bird sent back a message that Mu Zilang's two small boats had reached the designated position in the afternoon.
was about to send someone to investigate, when there was a noisy sound of human voices over there, and Ye Xing, who was standing on the top of the tree, also saw the firelight. Ye Xing asked everyone not to move, under the telescope, the fire in the water village was soaring, getting bigger and bigger, it seems that this fire is a bit big.
Ye Xing asked everyone to wait, and flew out alone, flying between the trees without a sound.
Ye Xing went to the vicinity of the water village and found that it was already a mess, crying and noisy, many people were at a loss, and some people shouted for fire.
It's just that oil and water can't be saved, and with the help of the river wind, it spreads to the entire water village. The leader of the bandits, shouting to go ashore to save people.
Ye Xing returned to the hiding place of the Tianxing Gang and let everyone crawl forward until 2 miles in front of the water village.
Li Qifeng waved his hand, took out a long knife and rushed out, everyone had a red cloth wrapped around their hands to identify, and rushed straight with the knife without saying a word.
There was no suspense in this battle, it was simply cutting melons and vegetables, and they were defeated as soon as they came into contact with the bandits, and many of the bandit leaders jumped into the river and fled, including the two leaders.
Ye Xing and Li Qifeng didn't play at all, only Ye Xing killed a few bandits with flying knives, mainly to save his own people.
It was only half an hour before the water bandits, seeing that the situation was not good, threw their weapons and knelt on the ground and begged for mercy;
Ye Xing and Li Qifeng ignored it, and it was all handled by Li Liang, and Ye Xing thought that these two people did a very good job, bold and orderly, not panicked, and talented.
Ye Xing and Li Qifeng just stood on guard from a high place, patrolling around, not daring to be careless, after all, the leaders of the White Dragon Society had all fled.
