Wannian County·Mountain Canyon.
On the steep mountains, the grass is withered and yellow, the leaves are gradually withering, and almost no pedestrians can be seen. Only one or two curls of smoke occasionally appear, and traces of human movement can be seen.
Standing on the mountain peak, you can overlook the land below and see the movement far and far away.
And that group of bandits gathered here and set up camp. With the gradual expansion of the population, it has developed into a large gathering place.
And because this place is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and there is abundant water on the mountain, they can sustain it for several years even if they are besieged by the imperial army.
Therefore, although the imperial court had previously sent troops into the mountains to encircle and suppress this group of bandits entrenched in Jingzhao Mansion, they had little effect and had almost no effect.
These people are similar to the heroes of Liangshan, who are justified by faith. They have gathered here for many years and are quite familiar with the topography and topography of this place.
Even if you know you can't compete with the power of the imperial court, you can still use the terrain here to launch guerrilla warfare.
Moreover, they have fought with the imperial army for many years and have quite a lot of fighting experience. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are familiar with the road.
Even if the imperial army really entered the mountain, it would be difficult to compete with them and easily eliminate this group of bandits.
Over time, several failed encirclement and suppression campaigns failed to eliminate this group of bandits, which gradually turned this place into a stubborn cancer in the local area and a terrifying existence.
Later, the bandits got smarter. Under the advice of the dog-headed military advisor, they spent a lot of money to bribe the local magistrate, and became lawless and unpunishable.
If they hadn't killed the Sun family and others, and Jia Yun suddenly discovered that there seemed to be such a group of bandits roaming the world of Red Mansions, they might still have been able to escape justice for a long time.
After Jia Yun released the news, it quickly aroused the tension of the entire bandits, making everyone become upset.
This is all because the bandits have arranged spies nearby and have lived here for a long time. Once they find any disturbance, they will return to the mountains, enter the village through the trails, and report the news.
Jia Yun made such a big noise, so naturally everyone could see it clearly.
In this way, the news that Jia Yun led his army to suppress the bandits immediately attracted the attention of the bandit group.
At this moment, they were gathering in the village to discuss the matter.
"Then Jia Yun said that he will lead his army into the mountains to surround us in three days. What do you brothers think?"
Seeing Jia Yun mobilize the troops this time, everyone was a little scared.
As the master of the copycat village, Han Fan wears a long tiger-skin coat, with daggers and other weapons hanging on his body. His face is full of flesh, and he is a fierce and vicious figure.
He looked around and couldn't help but look at the few heroes who had come to seek refuge in the past few days, and asked their opinions: "Brothers, how do you think we should handle this matter?"
Those people were all people who were deliberately arranged by Jia Yun. At this moment, he smiled slightly and already confidently said what Jia Yun had taught him in advance: "That Jia Yun is just a weakling who has no power to restrain a chicken. The scholar, leading the army to suppress the bandits, simply overestimated his capabilities.
What's more, our place has excellent Feng Shui and the terrain is dangerous, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Not to mention his mere few hundred men, we are not afraid even if we face the siege of thousands of imperial troops. "
The second-in-command also echoed: "Yes, it is a joke for a civil servant to come to suppress bandits.
Besides, there is only one way into the mountains here.
That road is extremely narrow and you have to walk over a suspension bridge.
If we destroy the suspension bridge, even tens of thousands of people, let alone a few hundred people, will not be able to do anything to us. "
When the third master heard this, he frowned and said, "Second brother, what are you talking about? If you destroy the suspension bridge, you can certainly prevent the imperial court from clearing us out, but how will we get out in the future? Wouldn't it mean that we are not even close to you?" The way out is also blocked?"
For a moment, the second master looked at the third master somewhat boredly, turned his head away, and stopped talking.
"They won't attack until these three days, and there will only be a few hundred people. Let's talk about it then!"
The dog-headed military advisor suggested: "Starting from today, we will strengthen our vigilance and increase the number of patrol posts. Once we find someone moving, we will immediately sound the gongs and drums and prepare for a counterattack."
With that said, everyone in the village began to get busy.
This cottage is very large, almost equivalent to a small village.
And there are old, weak, women and children.
They are all the relatives of everyone in the village, as well as the children of plundered women.
It is similar to the tragic past where the female family members were robbed by bandits after the Sun family and others died.
The bandits were also afraid that the court would punish them and implicate their family members. Therefore, once they entered the mountains to become bandits, they had no way of retreating down the mountain, so they could only take these people up the mountain to become bandits.
Jia Yun's words came three days later.
Therefore, everyone's mood is still quite relaxed.
These people did not even suspect that Jia Yun would deceive them.
In their view, a civilian official who leads an army to suppress bandits is like a dog meddling in his own business, and is destined to be defeated. .net
These people are just lucky and contemptuous, and gradually become relaxed, and they don't feel nervous in their hearts.
Even though dark clouds are threatening to destroy the city now, it is very likely that a war will begin soon.
But what happened after three days? What does it have to do with today?
Those heroes who were arranged by Jia Yun also found that these people's defenses were lax. They simply did not think that Jia Yun would attack them tonight, and they did not regard Jia Yun as their real enemy or opponent.
In fact, Ni Er should have explained Jia Yun's arrangements to these people before they came to the village.
Jia Yunhui led his army on a hasty march the night he arrived in Wannian County.
He would take advantage of the silence of the night to suddenly take action and kill everyone in the cottage while they were still sleeping.
At the same time, these people also need to cooperate with Jia Yun, master the crossing of the bridge, and meet Jia Yun and others.
You also need to operate secretly, get everyone drunk, or drug them to reduce their combat effectiveness.
As the saying goes, a lion fights a rabbit, and you still need to go all out.
Jia Yun will not look down upon her just because her opponents are a group of unworthy bandits.
He will despise the enemy strategically, pay attention to the enemy tactically, and then defeat this group of bandits at the cost of zero losses.
Jia Yun's judgment was soon confirmed.
These mountain bandits all thought that Jia Yun would come to attack the stronghold in three days. They would not attack directly at the pass they just arrived at tonight without resting or reorganizing their troops. Moreover, because Jia Yun is a civilian official and a civilian commander The combat effectiveness of the army can be imagined, but it made the mistake of underestimating the enemy and being arrogant.
