Yun Chao stood on a big rock not far from the front door, watching a group of men poking the fleeing officers and soldiers like rabbits, and a big rock in his heart finally fell to the ground.
Previously, he was leading people to clean the battlefield and search for the remaining bandits in the village. Suddenly, a secret sentry came to report that a group of officers and soldiers had arrived. They were clearing the secret sentry along the way. They were full of malice. They definitely came with bad intentions!
The secret sentry who reported the news was Li Dashan.
After killing Scud, he didn't dare to stop at all. He took a small road and ran as fast as he could. Finally, he returned to the village before the officers and soldiers arrived!
Since the officers and soldiers were marching in large groups, including some cavalry, they took normal mountain roads.
Anyone who has walked on a mountain road knows that usually, the smooth and easy-to-walk mountain roads are winding and winding.
It is impossible for the person who opened the road to drive straight up the mountain. The road is too steep for people to walk on, but it is impossible for people to drive on it.
Wu County Lieutenant set up Wo Niu Village to store grain, which required a large number of horse-drawn carriages. It was impossible to drive a road that could not be traveled by vehicles. It would be a waste of effort.
Therefore, Li Dashan was able to take a shortcut and send the news back in time before the officers and soldiers.
When they heard that there were officers and soldiers approaching menacingly, all the country warriors immediately panicked.
We are all honest farmers. Even if Yun Chao often organizes training for them, they don't have the guts to confront the officers and soldiers.
As for the boys under Yun Chao, although they are much stronger than Xiang Yong, some of them are still very nervous.
The psychology of facing officers and soldiers is different from that of facing bandits.
These guys had only been following Yun Chao for a short period of time. Even after killing so many bandits, their mentality could not be completely changed. They did not realize that they were no longer mud-legged, but also part of the officers and soldiers.
Strictly speaking, the native archers of the Inspection Department can also be regarded as officers and soldiers, but they are not regular troops.
Yun Chao saw that the morale of his men was a bit unstable, so he gave up the idea of fighting a tough battle face to face with the officers and soldiers.
These boys must first see the blood of the officers and soldiers. When they meet the officers and soldiers again in the future, they will probably be fine if they fight hard.
Of course, if there were thousands of officers and soldiers, Yun Chao would be so scared that he would stick his butt out and run away... ahem, it was a strategic shift.
However, Li Dashan said that there should be no more than 200 officers and soldiers at most.
There are less than 200 officers and soldiers. They are afraid of nothing. They have a geographical advantage. Don't deal with them too easily!
Well, actually Yun Chao was nervous too.
After all, he had never interacted with real officers and soldiers. The only ones he knew were the two veterans of Pan Guiying's family, Liu Liu and Liu Qi.
If the officers and soldiers were as powerful as them, even a hundred of them, let alone two hundred, would be enough for Yun Chao to drink a pot.
Li Dashan also told Yun Chao that the scouts of the officers and soldiers were very powerful. Not only could they sneak into the sentry post silently and kill the mistress, they could also run extremely fast, even faster than Li Dashan, who was good at running.
To be selected as a secret whistle by Yun Chao, he has excellent qualities in all aspects.
Most of them often follow Yun Chao and act as guards. They are not only good at skills, but also relatively flexible in mind.
Such a person is actually no match for the soldiers and scouts, which shows how strong the opponent is.
The ranks of the officers and soldiers were neat and orderly, and the scouts were so powerful. It was strange that Yun Chao felt confident.
However, it was impossible for him to give up the food in the village and lead his people in a desperate strategic move.
The officers and soldiers did not come early or late, but they came here at this time, which is enough to explain many problems. They must have wanted to stay behind.
I can lead people to escape now, but what about in the future?
Once the officers and soldiers chased them to Wolong Village, would he also run away with them?
Yun Chao knew that as long as he ran away now, his subordinates would roll over in fear of the officers and soldiers. If they faced off against the officers and soldiers in the future, their chances of winning would be even smaller!
So, Yunchao began to make plans.
Time was tight and the task was heavy. There was no time to set any traps, so Yun Chao asked Luo Zhiyuan to still ambush on the granary with his crossbowmen.
Have people throw the corpses of bandits that have been piled up everywhere again.
Even some half-burned corpses were used by Yun Chao.
Others are more powerful with more people, but when it comes to Yun Chao, it is more tempting with more corpses.
Some of the silver and copper coins collected from the corpse were stuffed back into the body.
The remaining part can be thrown everywhere. If the officers and soldiers are not strong enough and disciplined enough, there is a 80% chance that they will fight for the money when they see it.
Yun Chao also asked some of the villagers to pretend to be bandits and chase the next few boys in the village. He told them to run away from the back door as soon as they saw the bandits entering the village.
Then, Yun Chao asked Li Xing to take 20 of his boys, plus 30 local warriors, to ambush at the back door of the village.
Once there are officers and soldiers chasing them out of the back door, attack them from behind.
Finally, Yun Chao led the remaining people and lurked in a forest not far from the front door of the cottage.
Quietly waiting for the officers and soldiers to take the bait.
It didn't take long before the officers and soldiers arrived.
The ones who arrived before the large group of officers and soldiers were the scouts of the officers and soldiers.
The forest, less than three hundred meters away from the front door of the cottage, was naturally within the search range of the officers and soldiers.
Even a hidden sentry post like Xiao Sanzi could be found. It was a forest that could obviously hide people. How could the scouts of the officers and soldiers not search for it.
The scene of a large group of officers and soldiers walking to a certain canyon and being directly made dumplings can only exist in the imagination of some people.
Unless the leading officer was kicked in the head by a donkey, it would be impossible to make such a stupid mistake.
Unfortunately, Ding Yangchun met Yun Chao today.
Since Li Dashan has said that the scouts of the officers and soldiers are very powerful, how could Yun Chao underestimate the enemy.
So, as soon as a scout entered the woods, his throat bone was broken by Wu Er's punch. Without even a cry, his neck was broken in despair.
In front of Wu Er, who could beat a tiger to death, an officer and soldier scout was really not enough.
Being good at reconnaissance does not mean being good at fighting.
If you are flexible, it depends on who you are competing with.
Even Scud, who chased Li Dashan to the sky with no way out, was stared at and kicked in front of Wu Er's Yuhuan step.
What made Li Dashan regretful was that the woods they were in were not on the side where the scout who killed Xiao Sanzi was searching, and the scout Wu Er killed was not that guy.
Killing a scout of the officers and soldiers does not mean that the officers and soldiers will fall into the trap.
Moreover, the disappearance of a scout may also arouse the vigilance of the officers and soldiers.
So, Yun Chao asked a subordinate who was similar in stature to the scout to put on the scout's clothes, smear his face black and gray, ran to the edge of the woods, and waved to the mountain road below.
Li Dashan said that the scout who killed the mistress used this method to inform the scouts who were following far behind that the front was safe and could pass.
From Li Dashan's report, Yun Chao was inspired. Since the officers and soldiers' scouts could put on the clothes of the mistress, why couldn't he disguise himself?
