The next day, the thief village suddenly became much empty, and even when it was almost noon, I almost heard the noise of the bandits again.
In the past, it was almost noon when the bandits were about to get up. At this time, the whole thief village was very noisy, but now it has suddenly become quiet. To be honest, Zhao Yu is still a little unnatural.
He asked Zhu Wang and asked Zhu Wang where the bandits were going.
Zhu Wang touched his chin and explained: "It should be ambushing in the mountains, prepare some traps and other things in advance."
From the side, Deng Song said excitedly: "Uncle Bald Head, that means we don't have to cook for so many people?"
Zhu Wang nodded with a smile, then slapped Deng Song in the head, cursing: "Think about it yourself, is this possible?"
As Zhu Wang said, the bandits were ambushed in the mountains. This not only did not reduce the burden for them in the kitchen, but the task was heavier, because they not only had to cook hundreds of portions of food as usual, but they could deliver the food to the bandits.
Fortunately, in extraordinary times, there was no need to supply the bandits with big fish and meat in the kitchen. In order to facilitate the bandits in the mountains, Zhu Wang ordered a few kids to make rice balls.
It is relatively simple to pinch rice balls. Sprinkle some salt on a piece of meat, then wrap it with two handfuls of rice and pinch it. This is done, and it is also easy to carry it. Just wrap it with a cloth and carry it on your body.
In view of the rugged mountain road, Ning Niang was left in the kitchen, while the rest carried a bunch of rice balls full of cloth to the ambush of the bandits.
At this time, the bandits in the village were basically ambushed on the southwest and southeast sides of the village. Chen Mo, the second village leader, was on the southwest side, Wang Qing, the third village leader, was on the southeast side, and Yang Tong, the big village leader, led his subordinates to take over the village. This layout seemed to have a little simple military strategy.
Due to location, Zhao Yu and others took the lead in the area where Chen Mo was in charge of guarding that day. After Zhu Wang shouted a code similar to a bird-like cry, two bandits emerged from behind the tree not far away to lead the way for Zhao Yu and others.
Originally, Zhao Yu felt a little strange, until a bandit warned them: "Everyone is smart, follow us, don't walk around by yourself, otherwise you will die in a trap. Don't blame me for not reminding you."
"trap?"
Zhao Yu was slightly shocked and cared a little, so on the way to the next journey, he always paid attention to the surroundings, wanting to see where the traps were hidden.
He really saw some traces of this attention.
But more importantly, it is the tips of the two bandits.
Along the way, the two bandits pointed out the locations of the traps along the way to them from time to time. For example, in a cluster of grass, the bandits set up traps with bamboo. Once someone rashly stepped on the trap, a bamboo would pop out from the side with thunder. Looking at the bamboo as thick as an arm, especially the deliberately sharpened bamboo tip, Zhao Yu had no doubt that this thing could easily pierce a person's body. Even wearing leather armor made of cowhide, it might not be able to stop it.
This trap set by using the elasticity of bamboo is like a poisonous snake hidden in the grass, making people shudder.
I have to say that this is a bit different from the trap Zhao Yu imagined. His trap is roughly digging a deep pit and erecting some sharp bamboo thorns inside.
But it turns out that he underestimated these bandits. Although these people are bandits, the traps they set are really simple and powerful.
He guessed that some of these bandits must be hunters, otherwise how could they teach other bandits to arrange such simple and powerful traps according to local conditions?
"Everyone keeps the trap position here in my heart!"
The two bandits warned Zhao Yu and the others viciously.
Are they kind-hearted?
Well, let's be considered kind-hearted. After all, in their opinion, the kids in the kitchen are their own people at least. Of course, another reason is more important: if these little guys who help them boil water, cook and wash clothes die on weekdays, who will help them work?
For this reason, they told Zhao Yu and others about the secret trap location.
Of course, it is not all. It is just the mountain road that Zhao Yu and the others took. The bandits forbid them to wander around nearby in the near future.
A moment later, Zhao Yu and others came to a wooden house where Chen Mo was.
It was really small and very narrow wooden house, which may be only two feet in a radius, but interestingly, there is an open space in front of the wooden house, and further forward is a natural cliff, about two or three feet high from the mountain road below.
Zhao Yu approached the cliff and took a look. He found that he could clearly see the movements at the foot of the mountain. Obviously, this wooden house should be like a sentry.
"I finally got the food delivered and I'm starving to death."
When Zhao Yu and others transported the food, several nearby bandits immediately surrounded him, opened the cloth bag and grabbed the rice balls inside to eat. Only Chen Mo sat on a tree stump in front of the wooden house and looked down at a piece of cloth in his hand.
Out of curiosity, he leaned closer and took a look, and then he found that the piece of cloth in Chen Mo's hand seemed to be the map here, with winding mountain paths clearly marked on it. He even drew a lot of marks on this map with charcoal, some with forks and some with circles. I don't know what it means.
It seemed that he had noticed Zhao Yu's peeping. Chen Mo looked back at him, and was so shocked that Zhao Yu immediately left his head and followed Zhu Wang, Xu Fen and the others.
I have to say that Chen Mo's calmness and pre-war preparations made Zhao Yu feel that this person seemed to be a leader.
Afterwards, Zhao Yu and others returned to the mountain village and brought a rice ball to Wang Qing, the leader of the third village.
There were also many traps along the way, but unlike Chen Mo's side, the atmosphere there was much more hot. When Zhao Yu and others arrived, they saw a group of bandits gathered on a flat cliff, drinking while patting their chests and bragging, shouting bold words such as "If those Kunyang soldiers dare to come, they will look good." Wang Qing laughed.
Perhaps in the eyes of ordinary people, it seems that Wang Qing has a greater grasp of it?
But Zhao Yu still prefers Chen Mo's side, where the atmosphere is quite dull.
A day or two later, the atmosphere in the village was quite solemn. Ning Niang, who was usually lively, became much more dull than before. She asked Xu Fen and Zhao Yu from time to time, asking them if they would be killed by the officers and soldiers in Kunyang.
This little girl who was just seven years old was probably scared.
Can these bandits who are simply like a bunch of loose sand stop the encirclement and suppression of Kunyang officers and soldiers?
Even Zhao Yu couldn't understand.
But one thing is certain. If these bandits of anti-straits really cannot resist the Kunyang soldiers, then he will try his best to give advice to the bandits. This bandits are the team he has decided to subdue. How can the Kunyang soldiers break his plan?
However, after waiting for five days, Zhao Yu did not wait for news about the officers and soldiers of Kunyang.
"Is it just a rumor that the Kunyang officers and soldiers were preparing to encircle and suppress Yingshan bandits?"
Zhao Yu was very puzzled.
However, the next day, when he followed Zhu Wang and others to deliver food to the bandits ambushed in the mountains, he suddenly heard a shout of killing from somewhere.
"Have the officers and soldiers been fighting?"
Even if it was Zhao Yu, he would inevitably be a little nervous at this time.
But at this moment, Zhu Wang reached out and put his hand on his shoulder and comforted him: "Calm down, Hu Zi, it's not our side."
"Not us?" Zhao Yu was a little confused.
Under his confused gaze, Zhu Wang turned his head to look to the west, frowned and said, "If I guessed correctly, that direction should be Liu Heimu's group of people... Tsk tsk, I'm really unlucky."
Zhao Yu was stunned for a moment, and then he realized it.
Only then did he realize that the Ying bandits in Kunyang County were not the only one who was preparing to attack.
Think about it, Yingshan is so big, how could there be only Yang Tong and his group on the mountain?
After thinking about it again, Zhao Yu understood why Yang Tong and others did not consider this mountain village despite the huge gap in military strength. Although some of them were confident, I believe that Yang Tong and others were also lucky and felt that the bandits of Yingshan who were targeted by Kunyang officers and soldiers might not be their group. Why should they be so scared that they gave up their foothold for the enemy that might not be coming?
After returning to the village, Zhao Yu used these words to comfort Ning Niang who was still worried, and finally made the little girl feel a little relieved.
However, the good times did not last long. Just ten days later, around March 24th and 25th, the officers and soldiers from Kunyang arrived.
While delivering meals to the bandits, Zhao Yu saw with his own eyes that a simple camp was built on the flat ground at the bottom of the mountain, and a military tent was also set up in the camp. If you look closely, you can still see the officers and soldiers of Kunyang with full armor walking around.
That bandits from Liu Heimu and his gang were destroyed?
You should know that according to Zhu Wang, the number of bandits in the group of Liu Heimu and his group was similar to the number of bandits in Yang Tong and their group, and there were about a hundred people. However, in just over a dozen days, the bandits were destroyed?
"It must be because I'm running away when the situation is not good."
When everyone was talking about this, Zhu Wang touched his chin and guessed.
Zhao Yu thought about it and said that the bandits were not soldiers and guards. How could they continue to fight with the officers and soldiers when they saw that the situation was not good? They took the initiative to give up the mountain and fled into the mountains to hide for a few months. This is the choice of those bandits. As for the things in the mountain, they just went down the mountain to grab them after the wind passed.
This is also the reason why it has been difficult to capture all the bandits since ancient times.
On March 26th, it was dawn. When Zhao Yu came out of the house with a yawn, he suddenly heard a shout of killing erupting from the foot of the mountain.
This time the shouting of killing was very close to the ground, maybe only a few miles away.
He was shocked at that time.
