The hills and ravines here are crisscrossed, and it is not surprising that there are caves both inside and outside. The actions of the bandits tonight have proven that they are nearby, waiting for an opportunity to attack the village.
Zouping quickly arrived with the villagers.
"Previously, we were busy building the wall, but we ignored the importance behind it. Fortunately, tonight, Miss Guo accidentally ran into these three sand bandits who had sneaked into the wall to spy on information——
It's not too late to make amends, Zou San is in charge, you immediately lead people to search along the way, especially the bushes, to see if there are any connected caves, and seal them one by one;
Mr. Kuisi, you will arrange sentries on the top of each hill to strictly monitor every move outside the hills. If you find any traces of bandits, you will immediately light a beacon and send out a signal. "
"clear!"
The quiet night was completely broken by the noise, and the people of the fortress began to mobilize and conduct a carpet search of the back mountain.
"As soon as the mercenaries left, these bandits followed. We can't be watched by hungry wolves all the time."
Guo Shuyun followed Song Che, twisting the water stains in her hair while walking towards the village gate.
"So, what is Her Majesty the Queen's clever plan?" Song Che asked.
Guo Shuyun said: "Our country has 800 fully armed soldiers, and there are at most 500 or 600 sand bandits. How about just going out of the stronghold and driving them away?"
"What if they come back again?"
"Run away again!"
“It goes around again and again, who suffers?”
"This..." Guo Shuyun was at a loss for words.
If the sand bandits are not eradicated, I am afraid that I will not even be able to sleep well in the future, let alone create a mutual trade in the Western Regions.
Song Che climbed onto the wall of the village, pointed at the oasis hills immersed in the moonlight, and asked with a smile: "Miss Guo is the queen of the generals, so she must also know the art of war and strategy. Then let me test you on how to use everything you have in front of you. Eradicate all the bandits?"
Guo Shuyun was very careful, worked very hard, and thought very seriously, but in the end she covered her head and said, "Oh, I took a cold bath just now, and now I have a cool breeze, and I feel a little headache. My daughter's body is delicate, so... Delicate..."
Can it still be like this?
Song Che shook his head with a smile and said: "Since taking the initiative cannot eradicate the bandits, why not deliberately lure them to attack the stronghold and then design a plan to kill them all?"
Guo Shuyun's eyes lit up, and she squeezed Song Che's arm: "Don't be so pretentious, just say it! Say it quickly!"
When she was excited, she would repeat her words twice.
Song Che pointed to the hills on both sides and said: "If you want to attack the village gate, you must walk through a gorge. We can hide a small team on the top of the hills on both sides and prepare some dry firewood and rolling stones. After the bandits enter the valley, we can first Dig down the hills to block their retreat, hobble their horses, then set fire and roll stones to smoke, smash, and burn them, and they will be severely maimed even if they don't die. Then let the cavalry charge out and reap the rewards."
"What a great way to lure the enemy deeper!"
Guo Shuyun praised, but the next moment she was confused: "But how to lure them into the valley? There is a high probability that these bandits are not idiots."
Song Che said: "They will send people to spy on the intelligence tonight, which means they have long thought of taking back the mountain stronghold. Let's pretend to send a team of people first, preferably lean and lean, and the number cannot be more than the bandits, and then we will suppress the bandits. attack in the name of;
The sand bandits must be hiding near the oasis. When they see our army attacking, there are not as many people and horses as they are, and they are so short. Their arrogance is greatly increased, so they will definitely attack on their own initiative;
At this time, we pretended to be defeated, deliberately panicked, abandoned our helmets and armor, and fled to the stronghold. Upon seeing this, the sand bandits took advantage of the victory and pursued them. When they entered the canyon, they could use their previous strategy to encircle and destroy them. "
"Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful! What a fake defeat!" Guo Shuyun clapped her hands and praised, "I will tell Zouping and Gezan to prepare for war!"
"Hey, remember, when arranging an ambush, don't make too much noise, so as not to let the bandits notice the clues."
"Got it! Got it!"
…
When the night is over and dawn is dawn.
Zouping selected 300 soldiers, most of whom were less than seven feet tall. The ambush has also been completed on both sides of the hills.
"Third Master, when you go out later, if you encounter a bandit, you will first curse him loudly. If you can curse his ancestors for generations, you will curse his ancestors for generations. The main purpose is to provoke, and when you pretend to be defeated, you can pretend to be as embarrassed as you want. Embarrass it, make it swell, enrich its edge, and let it perish.”
Before leaving, Song Che warned.
Zouping understood and kept it in mind, and immediately led his troops out of the stronghold and headed out of the canyon.
Song Che, Guo Shuyun and others stood on the wall of the village, always paying attention to the changes on the front line.
The walls of the village are built high, so you can naturally see far away. In the telescope, the army has already moved out of the oasis.
Suddenly, a black shadow suddenly appeared on the horizon. A large group of sand bandits climbed over the sand dunes, riding camels and horses, shouting and charging towards the oasis. Sand and dust instantly covered the sky and the earth.
"Looking at the situation, they will definitely be tricked. Attention soldiers at the city gate. When the third master returns, he must quickly open the city gate and make sure everyone is in before closing the door." Song Che put away his binoculars and reminded the soldiers at the door.
About two quarters of an hour later.
"Da da da..." The sound of rapid horse hooves sounded from outside the canyon.
Zouping led his troops and rushed towards the village gate.
The soldiers hurriedly opened the city gate and welcomed all Zou Ping and others in.
Just a moment after the army entered the stronghold, a large number of sand bandits rushed into the canyon with wind and dust, shouting:
"Don't run away, thief, give me back my copycat!"
"Set a fire?" Guo Shuyun couldn't wait.
However, Song Che raised his hand, made a pause towards the two ambush soldiers, and said softly: "Don't be anxious now. They have stepped into the encirclement and are already turtles in the urn. There is a lot of sand and dust at the moment, which will inevitably affect the accuracy. When the dust settles, It’s not too late to take action after the vision is clear.”
At this time, the sand bandits reined in their horses and stopped. Looking at the rising wall of the village, all the bandits could not hide their shock.
The bandit leader was a dark, burly man with a scar that almost cut across his entire face. It was obvious at first glance that he was a ferocious and violent person.
"Damn it, who are you? How dare you take over my Scar Dragon's territory? Don't you want to live anymore?"
It turns out that he is Scar Dragon.
Song Che glanced at the bandits. There were about four to five hundred of them, all riding horses and camels, and they were all well-equipped. He smiled and replied:
"Whether it's business or land grabbing, it's all owned by those who have the ability. Isn't it a waste of resources to let a bunch of bandits occupy such a treasured geomantic land?"
"Bah! You have robbed me of my territory. Do you still have any sense? If you are wise, open the door and surrender quickly, otherwise I will rush into the village and kill you all without leaving a trace!"
"Oh, then what's the point of robbing others?" Song Che asked coldly.
Scar Dragon was speechless for a moment, and he gritted his teeth, "In short, in this desert, I am the only one who robs others, and no one else comes to rob me. Brothers, give me—"
"put!"
Song Che gave an order, and hundreds of arrows were fired from the wall, forcing the bandits back.
"Put it back!"
Song Che rushed to the ambush and ordered.
The ambush soldiers on both sides suddenly appeared, ignited dry firewood and threw it into the gorge. At the same time, they pried off the loosened earth. "Rumble..." The rolling earth was like thunder, completely blocking the retreat from the gorge. .
"Burn them!"
"Smash them to death!"
For a moment, wailing sounds echoed through the canyon.
