Chapter Fifty-six Occupying the Mountain as King, Using Fire to Attack
Chen Yong ordered people to find some boats by the fishing water so that they could land on the islands in the middle of the fishing water to see what was there. After a while, the officers and soldiers found a fishing boat by the fishing water. The two
How dare the fishermen not come when they are summoned by the army? Chen Yong asked: "Two boatmen, where is the island in front of you? Is it convenient for us to take a look?"
The two fishermen shook their heads like rattles and refused to take Chen Yong and others to the island in front. Chen Yong knew something was wrong, but most of his soldiers couldn't swim. What kind of accident would happen on the water?
What should we do? Chen Yong asked: "Two boatmen, have you encountered an outpost officer a few days ago? They have similar attire to us. Have they already landed on the island?"
Chen Yong suddenly asked, and the two people did not dare to reply. Chen Yong ordered people to separate the two, and Chen Yong gave them some silver coins respectively. Both of them were afraid that the other party would tell the truth, and they had no choice but to hide it.
It meant that he told Chen Yong everything he knew. It turned out that a group of strongmen had appeared in the fishing water in the past two years. They robbed homes and began to occupy the mountain as king. The Miyun Island in the middle of the fishing water became the base of the strongmen.
.
In the past few years, there have been continuous wars, and the government and army have no time to take care of this group of powerful and rogue bandits. As a result, the group of people has gathered more and more. Now, there are probably hundreds of people on Miyun Island. These people have begun to rely on the mountains to feed themselves.
The mountain, close to the water, collected the "fishing tax" from the people who made a living on the fishing waters. These fishermen did not dare not to pay, and those who resisted and refused to pay ended up with their heads in a different place, and even the fishing boats were destroyed.
Occupied by this group of bandits!
This group of people usually robbed homes and houses, which naturally aroused the resentment of the people of Yuyang. Fang Ming and Li Meng led their troops to Yuyang and heard the news. Li Meng came to Yuyang just to make the people here live.
Even better. When they heard that there was a group of bandits on Miyun Island, they were naturally willing to take over the matter. They then found dozens of large ships, carrying their own soldiers, to Miyun Island to suppress the bandits.
However, several days have passed, and there is still no important information coming out of Miyun Island. As a result, people who make a living by the fishing water are afraid to come here to fish again. Only these two people are almost unable to open the pot.
, that’s why they came to fish at this time. But who would have thought that they would encounter a new group of officers and soldiers. When the two men were questioned separately by Chen Yong, they both told what they knew.
The officers and soldiers were fully informed.
Chen Yong knew that Fang Ming and Li Meng must have successfully landed on the island with their troops. But with the power of the official army, what kind of rogue bandits could allow more than 500 people to fight for so long and still not succeed? Chen Yong then
Ask two fishermen for help, find some boats, and take them to Miyun Island in the middle of the fishing water.
There must be brave men under the heavy reward. The two men also found some fishermen. They gathered twenty or thirty fishing boats and transported more than 600 troops to Miyun Island in batches. Chen Yong also ordered Pei Yuanshao to lead the 600 troops.
, stationed on the shore of Yushui. In this case, the horses that cannot be transported to Miyun Island will naturally be taken care of by Pei Yuanshao's army. Those who really need horses, except for the generals, only have a few scout horses transported there.
Most of the people who landed on the island this time were infantry.
When Chen Yong landed on Miyun Island, he realized that it was a very suitable place for him to station troops. Not only was there a large area of land, but there was also a mountain peak hundreds of meters high. Here he could not only practice formations, but also train the endurance of the soldiers. It was okay.
It also allows them to climb mountains and train navy troops. This large area of land is very suitable for reclamation and farming, and it is obvious that the bandits have also cultivated part of the land.
After the army had assembled, Fang Ming and Li Meng had already arrived with several horses. It turned out that they had also left several detective horses on the island. As soon as Chen Yong's army landed, the detective horses had already informed them of what they had seen.
Fang Ming. General Fang naturally took Li Meng and several people with him and rushed over on Pegasus, because Fang Ming really couldn't attack for a long time and was feeling depressed...
There was no way, when Fang Ming led his army to Miyun Island, a sentry came over there. But how could the rogue bandits on Miyun Island defeat Fang Ming and Li Meng's army? After a while, the rogue bandits came
Dozens of people had fallen, so they drove back on horseback, not daring to fight with them again.
Fang Ming and Li Meng didn't know how many rogues there were on the island, and they didn't dare to lead the cavalry in pursuit. Instead, they chased the bandits in the direction of their escape together with the infantry. After a while, the army arrived in front of the mountain.
He encountered several houses on the road, and Fang Ming specially asked his troops to check them. However, although everything in the house was complete, no one was found.
When Fang Ming and Li Meng led their troops to the foot of the mountain peak, they saw many people climbing up the mountain. Chen Yong and Li Meng led their troops to follow them. Along the mountain peak, there were only
There is a road that can lead to the top of the mountain. However, when everyone was climbing, they could only hear the sound of rolling logs and rocks coming from the top of the mountain. Chen Yong looked carefully and saw several rolling logs and rocks pushed down from the top of the mountain, towards him.
The army smashed down.
Fang Ming was so shocked that Li Meng hurriedly ordered the soldiers to go down the mountain. Even so, several people were injured by rolling logs and rocks, and several died. When they climbed up the mountain, Fang Ming and Li Meng specially selected some soldiers with the best physical fitness.
We all climbed up to the top of the mountain together. But before everyone reached the halfway point of the mountain, hundreds of eagle-feather arrows were shot down halfway up the mountain.
Fortunately, the shields of these pro-army troops worked, blocking most of the bows and arrows, and no one was injured. But then another rolling wood and stone was thrown from the mountain, and Fang Ming and Li Meng had to flee down the mountain. There was no way, like this
The terrain was too difficult to conquer on their own. Fang Ming and Li Meng began to search for a way all over the mountain, but they tried various methods and could not sneak up to the top of the mountain.
But the back side of this mountain peak relies on fishing water, and is a cliff. It is extremely steep, almost 90 degrees, and it is bare. There is no way to climb to the top of the mountain. Chen Yong knew what these bandits were thinking.
, they are wearing down the patience of the officers and soldiers, and will not send people to discuss with the officers and soldiers until the officers and soldiers can no longer attack the top of the mountain, so that the officers and soldiers can recognize the status of these people. Because they have food on the mountain, so
No panic at all.
How could Chen Yong let them get their wish? Chen Yong's arrival gave Fang Ming and Li Meng a reassurance. The two of them were powerless now, but they believed that with Chen Yong here, this mountain would be able to conquer
Chen Yong had seen the terrain and knew that a strong attack would not have any effect and would only increase casualties. But he loved this mountain forest very much, so how could he let this group of bandits monopolize it and endanger the people?
Chen Yong asked the officers and soldiers at the foot of the mountain to shout together. If the bandits on the mountain don't surrender, they will set fire to the mountain! If they are given one more night, they will attack at the foot of the mountain! Then he saw the officers and soldiers at the foot of the mountain, all tossing and turning. From outside
A batch of fire starters was brought in. It was not until it was getting late that the officers and soldiers at the foot of the mountain calmed down again, apparently falling asleep again under the cover of night.
At this time, Chen Yong had ordered Liu Xing and Fang Ming to secretly sneak to the edge of the fishing water and the cliff on the back. Chen Yong took advantage of the moonlight and climbed up the mountain alone. Because it is a cliff,
There was no way anyone could climb up, so the bandits on the mountain had long given up on guarding. And Chen Yong ordered the officers and soldiers to shout that they would attack with fire the next day. The bandits on the mountain were busy leading the people to the top of the mountain.
Cutting down trees.
They had no choice but to believe in what they had, not what they didn't have. The officers and soldiers attacked for several days, but they could only increase casualties, but they could do nothing to the mountain. When another group of officers and soldiers came down the mountain, they shouted to the people on the top of the mountain that they
If they were going to attack with fire, how could the people on the mountain not believe it? If they wanted to prevent the top of the mountain from being affected by the fire attack, they could only send people to start cutting down trees. The first mountain already needed to roll logs and rocks, so cutting down more trees would be useful.
Prepare for emergencies.
What's more, only a section of space has been cleared to allow the trees to form a fault with the top of the mountain. Even if fire attacks are used at the bottom of the mountain, the impact on the people on the mountain will be minimal. Therefore, the bandits on the mountain began to move and were busy cutting down trees all over the mountain. Chen Yong and others
The officers and soldiers could not see clearly at the foot of the mountain because the mountain was always lined with trees on three sides. It was precisely because of this that the officers and soldiers at the foot of the mountain shouted fire attacks, which made the bandits on the mountain have some scruples.
What Chen Yong was waiting for was the vigilance of these thieves. Only by getting them busy and moving could he take advantage of the moonlight to sneak up the cliff behind and climb the mountain. When Chen Yong climbed to the top of the mountain,
, he threw down the rope he was carrying. Then Liu Xing and Fang Ming took the lead and climbed to the top of the mountain with the help of ropes.
Everyone who climbed to the top of the mountain had a rope with them, and soon there were several ropes hanging from the top of the mountain. At this time, the soldiers at the bottom of the mountain began to use the power of the ropes to climb to the top of the mountain. It was like this.
Unconsciously, Chen Yong had gathered hundreds of people on the top of the mountain. These people all carried crossbows on their backs and daggers hanging on their waists. They were already gearing up to attack the bandits on the mountain.
When the time came on the fourth watch, when people were most sleepy, Chen Yong led Fang Ming, Liu Xing, and hundreds of people to sneak behind the bandits on the top of the mountain. At this time, the bandits on the mountain were sleeping soundly.
They worked hard for most of the day and finally cleared a forest. In this way, even if the officers and soldiers at the foot of the mountain really carried out a fire attack, the impact on the people on the mountain would be minimal.
However, Chen Yong always used his tricks and relied on false news from the bottom of the mountain, so that the bandits on the mountain could only get busy and help him cut wood on the mountain. Chen Yong was naturally useful with these wood, and Chen Yong had already thought of a countermeasure. Chen Yong led the officers
The army secretly climbed up to the top of the mountain, and took advantage of the darkness to sneak from the back mountain to the front mountain bandit's station.
The thieves were extremely sleepy, leaving only a few people to defend themselves, while most of them had already fallen asleep. Those on guard were paying full attention to the people at the bottom of the mountain, because none of them believed that anyone would be able to climb up the mountain.
They had tried several times to climb the cliffs of the mountain, but no one could succeed. Therefore, these bandits believed that this mountain peak would be impregnable and no one could attack it.
Chen Yong led Liu Xing, Fang Ming and others to sneak to the mountain in front. The back mountain has never received the attention of these thieves. They only built several big houses in the front mountain. Most of them just like this.
People slept next to each other and crowded together. Only a few leaders had separate rooms.
