Chapter 72: The Story of Xiaoqingshan's Bandit Suppression (Part 1)
After hearing Gao Shun's words, Lu Bu couldn't help but nod.
Does a secret attack have anything to do with sunny and cloudy days?
Of course there are.
Gao Shun knew that the two paths on Xiaoqing Mountain were not unaware of them.
These bandits will definitely send people to guard these two paths, and of course there will definitely not be too many people.
If it is a sunny day, there will be shadows when exposed to the sun.
If there is a shadow, the risk of exposure will be greatly increased when a sneak attack is launched.
There is no shadow on cloudy days, so the success rate is higher.
Many generals like to choose to go to night when raiding cities, but the same is true.
Well, if you want to attack the bandits in Xiaoqingshan, Gao Shun had thought that it would be done at night, but it was a bit difficult.
The Xiaoqing Mountains are dangerous and it is difficult to walk during the day, not to mention at night.
I can't even see the road clearly, why are you doing a sneak attack?
You can't light a torch to attack, right?
After deciding on the plan, after a day of preparation, on the third day, Lu Bu led the 100-man team and Gao Shun led the manpower in the camp and set off quickly.
After the conclusion, Lu Bu led the 100-man team, and then Gao Shun confiscated a hundred people from the camp to cooperate with Lu Bu's frontal feint.
Gao Shun led a 200-man camp and attacked from a small path.
When it was almost time for Xiaoqingshan, Gao Shun had already sent a scout to clean up all the spies from Xiaoqingshan bandits.
Then Gao Shun took the lead and secretly rushed to the back mountain.
Lu Bu led a team of 200 people and quickly drove to the middle of the mountainside of the bandits in Xiaoqing Mountain.
This location was also decided by Lu Bu and Gao Shun after discussion.
The location here is the best attack position. If you go up, the terrain will be dangerous. As long as these bandits get stuck in the vital parts, the attacking soldiers will inevitably suffer heavy casualties.
In this position, although it cannot attack the bandits, it is sufficiently deterrent to the bandits.
Because this location is the only way for bandits to go down the mountain, if others block this place, it will be considered blocking the doorstep!
Soon, the spies sent by the bandits discovered Lu Bu's army and hurried back to the village to report.
"Not good, no good, the boss, there are a brigade of officers and soldiers passing by at the foot of the mountain, full of murderous intent. It seems that they are coming for us!"
Upon hearing this news, the bandits in the whole village became panicked.
Although these bandits are vicious when facing the people, they all become frightened birds when they really face the officers and soldiers.
"Ma Liu, how many of these officers and soldiers are there?"
"This, this, it seems there are four or five hundred people!"
Well, when he came, Lu Bu probably pulled the team longer to confuse the audio-visual of the bandit spies.
These bandit spies panicked when they saw the officers and soldiers. How could they carefully count how many officers and soldiers were going up the mountain?
The number of people led by Lu Bu was 200, and the spy reported four or five hundred people, which was only a little more than twice as many people, which was quite rare.
After hearing what the spy said, the boss couldn't help but frown tightly.
"Brothers, now there are officers and soldiers coming to attack our village. I wonder what are your ideas?"
One of them was a burly bandit patted his chest and said, "The soldiers come to block the generals, and the water comes to cover the soil. I'm afraid he will have a ball! One will kill one, and two will kill them a pair!"
The boss couldn't help but frown and said, "Do you still remember the situation when the second boss took his brothers down the mountain more than a month ago? More than a hundred brothers, none of them came back! These officers and soldiers were not kind!"
A little leader with a sharp-mouthed monkey cheek said in panic: "The boss, the officers and soldiers are in great power, we can't resist it at all! In my opinion, we should run away from the back mountain quickly! If it's too late, I'm afraid I can't run away!"
The boss snorted coldly and said, "If we just ran away like this, what should we do if the food and money we robbed were so vain? We have done all of them in vain over the years?"
The little leader with a sharp-mouthed monkey cheek blinked his eyes and thought to himself: I'll share this money with brothers and I'll finish it! As for food, even my life is almost out of my mind. Are you still thinking about food here? Are you so funny?
However, seeing the boss's bad eyes, he didn't dare to speak much!
The boss couldn't help but look at a scholar beside him and asked, "Military advisor, I wonder what your idea is?"
The military advisor looked at the bandits around him, with a hint of disdain on his face, and then said to the boss: "Big boss, brothers, our copycat is built on the mountain, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Just four or five hundred officers and soldiers wanted to capture our copycat, which was purely nonsense!"
The military advisor's words made everyone laugh, but the fear in his heart suddenly became much lighter.
Yes, our parody is easy to defend but difficult to attack, so four or five hundred officers and soldiers came. What are we going to be afraid of?
I heard the military advisor continue, "The most important thing now is to see what the purpose of these officers and soldiers are? Should they be recruited? Or should they be wiped out? Or just routine?"
"Even if the officers and soldiers are powerful and we want to leave, we can't just scatter from the back mountain without hesitation! Let's run ahead and the officers and soldiers chase behind. Is there still a way out for us?"
"Even if the officers and soldiers are found out and they have to leave, they have to wait until the night to leave!"
After hearing the military advisor's words, all the bandits present, including the boss, were impressed.
The military advisor showed a look of pride on his face.
After staying for a while, the military advisor continued, "By the way, now I will send someone to the back mountain to watch it to see if there are any officers and soldiers surrounding the back mountain!"
Hearing the military advisor's words, the boss was shocked and immediately sent two teams of bandits to the back mountain to guard the guard.
The terrain of the back mountain is even more sinister than before, and there is no need for too many people to guard it.
It is more than enough to send two teams over.
Then the boss said to the first person who spoke just now, and the burly bandit, "Shanji, take some brothers over and take a look and ask what these officers and soldiers are from?"
Shan Ji stood up and said in a muffled voice: "Yes, the boss, I'll go now!"
Soon, Shan Ji led fifty or sixty bandits out of the village, walked downwards for about a mile, and condescendingly faced Lu Bu's army.
Lu Bu's army began to arrange simple military defense lines, and it was difficult to see how many people were there for a while.
When he saw the officers and soldiers at the foot of the mountain, the arrogant pheasant did not ask at the first time.
Instead, he said to the bandits who followed him: "Everyone shoots down from me. If you can't shoot, you will scare these Qiu Ba to death!"
The bandits who followed the pheasant couldn't help but burst into laughter.
These bandits took out their bows and arrows and shot them down.
