Among the several cottages, these two weakest cottages are the closest to Huangshui Township, and the two cottages are not very far apart. They probably know that they are weak, so they have the intention to unite.

Zhu Ye was the most heroic and suggested that the troops be divided into two groups and attack the two strongholds separately. Others did not object, but Liu He rejected it.

"With our strength, there is no problem in dividing our troops to attack these two villages. However, in this way, it is very likely to cause casualties to the brave soldiers of the village. We don't have much capital at hand now. These villagers cannot be harmed and lose one

If one person is missing, we will have no place to replenish our troops, and we will not be able to account for their families, which will also affect everyone's morale. Therefore, we must concentrate all our efforts and defeat them one by one. If possible, it is best to force the opponent to surrender directly. This way

Only then can we strengthen our reputation.”

Liu He's statement seemed reasonable to everyone.

At this time, Zhang Yu pursed her lips and made a suggestion.

"This kind of small cottage is different from the big cottages like Five Wolves and Five Tigers. In large cottages, the division of labor is clear and the combat power is strong. The leader probably has the intention of occupying the mountain and becoming the king. But in this kind of small cottage, perhaps the leader does not have this intention.

Ambition, or the lack of ability, actually means that refugees gather together and have no land, so they can only make a living. I think they have heard of what we did to bandits in Huangshui Township. If they can fight first

If you use the courtesy, threaten with strength, and promise houses and fields, you may be able to persuade them to surrender."

Liu He looked at Zhang Yu with admiration, thinking that this girl is becoming more and more mature in thinking now, and she is indeed a smart woman.

"Okay, just follow what my sister said. We will train again in three days, rectify the sergeants in eight days, and march to Lianghe Village!"

"Here!"

Three days later, the army gathered and heard that troops were going to be sent out to suppress the bandits. Everyone was nervous and excited.

To be nervous, after all, most of these people have never fought in a war, let alone killed anyone.

Speaking of excitement, after all, many people have suffered from banditry for many years. How can we not be excited now that they can personally participate in eradicating banditry? Even those who were bandits in the past are now working very hard for their own good life.

.

Because of this, everyone was particularly active in the following training, which made Liu He and others very satisfied.

After nearly a year of training, the current rural warrior team's overall combat effectiveness is actually quite impressive, but it lacks good military equipment and combat experience.

Liu He believed that after he had a larger territory, he exchanged for iron ore, coal and various ordnance materials, improved equipment, and after several battles, this army would definitely become a powerful and feared force!

And this battle against bandits is the first "experience package" for this unit, and it is also the starting point for truly expanding one's power and competing in the world!

The day has finally arrived!

According to the advance arrangements of Liu He and others, a few people led the rural brave team to assemble at the beginning of the morning, in order to catch him unprepared.

I have been training the Xiangyong Team for almost a year. It is estimated that these copycats were a little defensive at the beginning. They have probably relaxed their guard now. I just feel that Liu He and others are only protecting themselves and do not have the courage to take the initiative to attack.

Therefore, if you choose to attack suddenly at this time, you will definitely get unexpected results.

Liu He and others led more than 300 people in this way, taking advantage of the darkness, without even lifting torches, and slowly marched towards the nearest mountain village, Lianghe Village, relying on the weak moonlight emitted by the crescent moon.

Lianghe Village is located in the mountains and forests five miles east of Shigou Village. It is not far away in a straight line, but the mountain road is difficult to travel, but it is not a problem for these people who grew up in the mountains.

By the end of Yinshi, Liu He and others had already reached the top of the mountain where Lianghe Village was located.

"Everyone is hiding on the spot. No sound is allowed without our order!"

Zhang Yong, Guan Yu and the other five people quietly issued orders to the team they led, and passed them to the back one by one.

The moonlight was dim, illuminating the shadows of the trees in the mountain forest. Liu He and the six of them were hiding in the shadows of these trees, looking at the mountain village not far away.

In this cottage, there were only a few torches fluttering in the wind at this time. Considering the situation, it seemed a bit strange.

"Brother, this stronghold is built on the mountain. It has three floors. It seems that a lot of thought has been put into it. Unfortunately, the protection is too weak and the manpower is insufficient. It seems to be comprehensive, but it can't defend one side. It doesn't matter whether it's a strong attack or a fire attack.

It doesn’t matter, it shouldn’t be difficult to attack from all sides or enter from the main entrance. I wonder what I think, brother?”

Zhang Yong commented softly.

"Haha, our martial arts skills and knowledge are no longer what they used to be. Naturally, we don't pay attention to copycats like this. If we deal with pustules like Wu County Lieutenant, it is still quite useful, but we still have to be cautious."

When Liu He said this, several people nodded in agreement.

"Brother, Guan looks at this stronghold. Although it is easily broken by native chickens and dogs, if it is attacked from one side, the bandit leader will easily escape. It is better to divide a group of soldiers and horses, go around the back of the stronghold, and attack from both sides.

Then the bandits and soldiers will be unable to win in battle and escape, so we can persuade them to surrender and use both kindness and power, and the plan will be settled!"

Guan Yu made a suggestion, and Liu He thought it was reasonable, so he asked Guan Yu and Cheng Liang to take a hundred people and walk around the mountain road to the back of the stronghold.

This mountain stronghold is not very big, only about a hundred feet wide from front to back. Although the mountain road is difficult to navigate, he travels lightly and simply. Two quarters of an hour later, Guan Yu and others were already behind the stronghold, and according to the agreement, they lit torches.

.

As soon as Liu He saw the torch on Guan Yu's side, he waved his hand behind him, and soon, dozens of torches lit up one after another.

"attack!"

Liu He gave the order, and more than two hundred people shouted "Capture the thief! Capture the thief!" and rushed to the stronghold together. Guan Yu and Cheng Liang immediately led a hundred people to attack the back door.

More than 300 people shouted in unison, immediately waking up everyone in the sleeping village from their sleep.

"what's the situation?"

"Someone is attacking the mountain! Report it to the leader quickly!"

The discipline of this kind of village is very loose on weekdays. When encountering such a "large-scale" attack, everyone was immediately frightened and fell into chaos.

The two people hurriedly ran out of the two wooden houses on the third floor of the cottage, wearing clothes while running. It was the two leaders of the cottage.

"What's going on? Who is going to attack our Lianghe Village?"

"Brother, there's no need to ask. Seeing the outflanking, the shouting, and the high morale, they must be the army from the county town!"

"County soldiers? How is it possible? How could they become so active?"
