Twenty days later, Ye Xing had already encoded thousands of commonly used words and handwritten them into two code books for eight people to use.
The 8 people are eager to learn and dare to move, and through continuous improvement, they can now transmit signals between several hills. The receiver has also been improved, and holes of different sizes can be punched in the paper to represent the different signals received.
If you erect a higher antenna, you can send farther.
Ye Xing checked it and pointed out that the sending direction should be focused, the receiving antenna should be larger, and the transmitting power should be increased.
Now a pair of big birds have flown back and forth between the two places many times, allowing the two places to communicate by letter.
The training at Hujiao Mountain and Guihua Peak has not yet reached the requirements, but we can no longer wait, mainly because the food has been exhausted.
Both Hujiao Mountain and Osmanthus Peak claim to be bandits, but it is impossible to actually rob them. This is a barren ore producing area and should not be a poor place. However, one thing is certain, that is, it does not produce much food and there are no wild animals.
During this period, the oil base had used the stolen money to buy food to support the two mountains, but it was difficult to maintain;
The only option was to go to other distant towns to buy it, but there was no food to buy in the neighboring towns, and it was doubtful that the amount of food purchased was too large.
Ye Xing asked Li Yishan and Liang Zhihong of Osmanthus Peak to join forces and prepare to take action against the White Dragon Society first.
The White Dragon Club Water Pirates are slightly weaker than the Black Wind Pirates, and the White Dragon Water Village is not far from the oil base. If you want to develop the base, you must first remove this threat;
And Ye Xing has the idea to control the transportation on the river by himself.
Both sides sent small teams to clear out all the spies first, leaving only a small number of strongholds on both sides to protect the rear. Then most of the troops moved to a place only 20 miles away from Bailongshui Village. They combined forces with a total of 1,000 people and called themselves the Tianxing Gang. .
Ye Xing and Li Qifeng still wouldn't interfere and let them make their own decisions, but the matter was important, so they and all the instructors came.
At the temporary station, the main captains were summoned for a pre-war meeting. Several tables were set up in a large cave, followed by several rows of benches. All the core personnel came quickly one after another.
Li Yishan and Liang Zhihong asked Ye Xing and others to take a seat, but Ye Xing and others refused. They just sat down and asked the two to immediately conduct intelligence analysis and how to make decisions.
The two of them saw that Ye Xing, Li Qifeng and the instructors were completely listening. They knew that it was the time to test the two of them, so they were not polite and began to analyze the intelligence of Bailong Water Village.
Bailong Water Village is surrounded by rivers and mountains. Most of them are built at the foot of the mountains where the river turns into a bay. They have existed for decades or hundreds of years and are deeply rooted.
There are 1,200 to 1,300 people in the water village, many of whom are family members of water bandits. Most of them are fishermen. They have very good water skills and their fighting ability on the water is now basically invincible.
There are two chiefs and deputy heads in Bailong Water Village. They are both above the 9th floor of the day after tomorrow, and they reached the 9th floor many years ago. There are dozens of ruthless bandits on the 7th and 8th floors. As for the other personnel, their cultivation is not high. Just fishermen on the river.
These water bandits rarely used arrows, but mostly daggers. They were very fierce. Passing ships had to pay tolls before they were allowed to sail. If they didn't get what they wanted, they would kill and set fire to them.
The water bandits are not very effective on land, so the only way is to lure them to land for a decisive battle. This will prevent the water bandits from escaping by water, and can use their own strengths to overcome the enemy's weaknesses.
Intelligence shows that the White Dragon Society does not have any war horses, so solving it on land is the only option.
Then all that's left is how to get rid of the water bandits and have a decisive battle on land!
And to prevent accidents, we must fight quickly, otherwise the food shortage here will collapse first.
Everyone in the meeting was silent, lowered their heads and frowned, Ye Xing and the instructors also did the same, not saying a word.
Liang Zhihong stared at the captains and said, "I have an idea. There is only one reliable way to force the opponent to go ashore, which is to set the water fortress on fire. Then we can let the opponent bring people and food back to the shore. We will then charge the leader with war horses, It can be decided in one battle.”
Everyone immediately shouted good, and even Ye Xing nodded with satisfaction. Indeed, using one's own strengths to treat the other's weaknesses is the best way.
Li Yishan said, "We are short of food now and can only take action within these few days. How to set fire now? It cannot be too big. If the food is burned out, we will have no food to eat. But it cannot be too small. It must be carried ashore for the other party. time."
"And the fire must be set late at night, so that the other side will be confused and just think it is a fire. After everyone comes ashore, we will launch an attack and the battle will be decided."
Everyone kept speaking and discussing various details. Ye Xing and Li Qifeng just listened and said nothing, while the instructors took pens to write, recorded everyone's speeches, and compiled them into reports.
After everyone had finished speaking and stopped talking, everyone finally looked at the two commanders, Ye Xing and Li Qifeng.
Li Qifeng said nothing, looked at Ye Xing, and gestured to Ye Xing to speak.
Ye Xing stood up with a smile on his face and said happily:
"Very good! It's good that everyone learns to think and analyze before doing things, and not to make impulsive decisions."
"I only have one suggestion. You pour some black oil upstream, and then light the black oil when it floats to the water village. This can achieve your idea. Don't make it too big, just force it to come ashore."
Everyone clapped their hands and cheered loudly, and Ye Xing pressed his hands to silence everyone.
Ye Xing added: "Go to my oil base for black oil. Muzilang has prepared dozens of barrels."
After saying that, he stood up and signaled Ye Qifeng to walk out. The instructors also stood up and walked out.
Ye Xing and Li Qifeng reached the top of the mountain, smiled at each other, stretched out their hands to strike at each other, and then started fighting in the woods on the top of the mountain. They had not fought for almost a month, and their hands were itchy.
During this period of time, Ye Xing focused on foreign affairs and had no practice at all, so he was tortured a bit miserably;
In addition to his face, he was hit in many places by the inhumane senior brother's heavy hands, causing Ye Xing to scream in pain regardless of his manners.
Seeing that there was no good outcome today, Ye Xing had no choice but to stop and ignore Li Qifeng's actions.
Li Qifeng had made great progress during this period, so he naturally refused to give up. However, Ye Xing didn't give him a chance at all, so he threw a rope, hung it on the edge of the cliff, and then escaped down the rope.
Seeing Ye Xing running away without any intention of resisting, Li Qifeng was so angry that he shouted loudly, "Shut up!", and then laughed loudly.
Three days later in the evening, Li Yishan and Liang Zhihong invited Ye Xing and Li Qifeng and said, "Two commanders, we have asked Mu Zilang to use two small fishing boats to bring ten barrels of black oil to the upstream, and now we are setting off to the vicinity of the water village. Ambush, just waiting for the fire to start."
Ye Xing nodded and said to Li Qifeng, "The two of us will deal with two masters!"
He turned to the two of them and said, "Let's set off in batches immediately. We must not let the enemy notice anything."
The two nodded and asked everyone to abandon their horses and walk in batches. The journey was peaceful, with no lights, no moonlight, and no starlight. It was the best time.
Powerful killers were sent to clear out the sentries five miles away from the water village. The 1,000-strong Tianxing Gang was divided into ten groups and quietly hid in the mountains and forests, just waiting for an order.
It was past midnight and there was no movement. Everyone was getting a little impatient.
More than half an hour passed, but nothing happened yet. Even Ye Xing was a little surprised. Was there any accident? Big Bird sent back a message that Mu Zilang's two boats had reached the designated position in the afternoon.
Just as he was about to send someone to investigate, there was a noise of people over there, and Ye Xing, who was standing on the top of the tree, also saw the light of the fire. Ye Xing told everyone not to move. Under the telescope, the fire in the water village was soaring into the sky and getting bigger and bigger. It seemed that the fire was a bit big.
Ye Xing asked everyone to wait, then flew out alone, flying through the trees without making any sound.
Ye Xing arrived near the water village and found that it was a mess inside. There were a lot of crying and noisy sounds. Many people were helpless and making a fuss, while some people shouted to put out the fire.
It’s just that oil and water cannot save it. It spreads to the entire water village with the help of river wind. The leader of the water bandits shouted to come ashore to save people.
Ye Xing returned to the Tianxing Gang's hiding place and asked everyone to crawl forward until they were 2 miles in front of the water village.
Li Qifeng waved his hand, took out a long knife and rushed out. Everyone had red cloth wrapped around their hands to identify them, and they rushed forward with their knives without saying a word.
There was no suspense in this battle. It was basically chopping melons and vegetables. The water bandits were defeated as soon as they came into contact. Many water bandit leaders jumped into the river and escaped, including two leaders.
Ye Xing and Li Qifeng didn't perform at all. Only Ye Xing killed several gangsters with flying knives, mainly to save his own people.
In just half an hour, seeing that the situation was not going well, the water bandits threw away their weapons and knelt down to beg for mercy;
Ye Xing and Li Qifeng ignored it, leaving Li Liang to handle everything. Moreover, Ye Xing believed that these two people did a very good job, they were courageous and orderly, not panicked, and they were talents.
Ye Xing and Li Qifeng just stood on high alert and patrolled around, not daring to be careless. After all, all the leaders of the White Dragon Society had escaped.
