Lead clouds hung low, the cold evening wind blew away the only light, and night began to fall.
The sky is lonely, but the ground is noisy.
Now, Qi Yu's bandit-suppressing army has successfully set up camp and is resting and preparing for the battle.
Look, the patrolling soldiers are constantly going back and forth, with three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry. The formation is strict and majestic. If it weren't for those wretched-looking Japanese pirates mixed in, they would really look like a mighty division.
The atmosphere is tense.
As for the current location of the bandit-suppressing army, it is within easy reach of Na Yan's lair. Even if we have a numerical advantage, we cannot take it lightly, otherwise we will capsize in the gutter.
Get defensive first.
According to Qi Yu's idea, this game must be fought steadily and not too hastily.
Not urgent?
Yes, as far as the current actual situation is concerned, we do have such capital.
The urgent need for food has been alleviated, and subsequent supplies are on the way, in an orderly manner. As for the government office, with his confidant Peng Wenchang holding the line, he basically has no big worries.
Therefore, he would lead the army with confidence.
The purpose of this is to restore the confidence of the people as soon as possible and start the spring plowing. Otherwise, they will face the embarrassing situation of food shortage in the autumn.
The prerequisite for resuming normal production is a stable environment. If there is always war and chaos, people's enthusiasm for farming will weaken or even be lost.
Therefore, how long this battle will last is secondary. What is important is that the government must first make a gesture, and the common people are watching with wide eyes!
Back to business.
Qi Yu still put a lot of thought into this military deployment.
A two-pronged approach.
So, what kind of double barrel is it?
Please listen to me.
First of all, it was to shock the banquet crowd, making them feel uneasy and even unable to sleep.
In order to achieve good results, he specially arranged for Huang Fei, who pretended to be an ordinary soldier, to go there in person and blow his own super cowhide with an army of 100,000 into the enemy camp.
For this reason, Mr. Huang deliberately pretended to be thirteen.
How to install it?
Let’s hear the details.
Huang Fei, who claimed to be the vanguard of the cavalry, kicked out fiercely after arriving at the gate of the village.
As a result, the solid fence door opened with a sound under his powerful Vajra legs. The whole process was full of power and domineering, and Huang Fei's face was even more swollen.
Huang Fei: Grandpa, am I fierce?
Bandits: Brother Ge, my son, are your legs made of iron?
The scene is still very shocking!
All the bandits thought: If an ordinary soldier of the enemy can be so ferocious, wouldn't this group become the master of tigers and wolves? If we were to face hundreds of thousands of people like this, how would our side have any way to survive?
It’s scary to think about it...
All the bandits were trembling with worry.
Seeing that the morale of the army was unstable, Na Yan hurriedly ordered random arrows to kill Huang Fei. But at this moment, Huang Fei made a whoosh sound and ran away at the right time.
That speed was ten times faster than a rat with its tail on fire.
Na Yan said to his subordinates: The people in the north are very cunning and their words cannot be trusted. Therefore, spies must be sent to find out the truth.
In this way, he fell into Qi Yu's second plan.
what?
In short, it is nothing but reality, something created out of nothing.
He ordered Gao Zhongde to send dozens of squads to light fires and smoke behind his army to confuse the public.
At night, I saw a fire dragon made of bonfires stretching for miles, with no end in sight.
Looking at the scale of this fireworks, it really looks like a hundred thousand people.
After comprehensive consideration at that banquet, the final conclusion was that the enemy was indeed outnumbered and it was not appropriate for us to fight head-on.
And this result is exactly what Qi Dalang wants now.
You must know that many people will die if they fight head-on. For Qi Yu, who advocates putting the people first, this must be avoided as much as possible.
As a result, since neither side wanted to go to war directly, a stalemate emerged.
In the next three days, everything was peaceful with each other.
However, the bandit suppression army was not idle either.
Under Qi Yu's encouragement, Harry promoted Taoism on the high platform set up there. During this period, all five thousand Japanese pirates were prostrate on the ground, pious and respectful, and the scene was truly spectacular.
"You bandits, if you are still stubborn and continue to help others, God will punish you..."
"However, if you can return from your lost ways, abandon evil and do good, our army will treat you leniently and let bygones be bygones..."
"Actually, Mr. Hada, I am here to spend your time in accordance with God's will, oh, it should be Taishang Laojun's will..."
Harry had a profound look on his face and shouted to the enemy with all his strength in the Mandarin dialect he had learned temporarily...
In order to enhance the visual effect, Mr. Ha also performed various impromptu witchcraft, such as spitting flames from the mouth, washing hands in a pan, crushing boulders on the chest, etc. These highly difficult movements made him look like an expert outside the country.
You know, witchcraft is very popular in Qiongzhou, even more influential than the law, and the bandits are convinced of it.
In line with that sentence, the more ignorant and backward a place is, the less belief it has in science. Of course, this also has a lot to do with the undeveloped wisdom of the people.
The effect of Harry's magic performance is beyond imagination. Currently, his image is close to a god-like existence.
After these three days, the morale of the soldiers at that banquet was unstable, and all the subordinates were in panic all day long.
This is a normal reaction.
Facing a 'ferocious' army that is ten times larger than one's own, no one dares to underestimate them. This principle of hitting an egg with a stone is simple and easy to understand, and naturally does not require any further explanation.
Then there was Harry's constant cursing. Although it couldn't kill the enemy directly, it was still torturous enough.
Na Yan was a little anxious, but he didn't dare to attack rashly, so he could only watch blankly.
He had realized that the commander-in-chief named Qi Yu was obviously different from the previous generals who came to suppress the enemy. He did not start fighting as soon as he came up, but tried to recruit surrender.
Because, in addition to what was written in the letter of challenge, Harry's words also clearly mentioned: If you surrender, let bygones be bygones.
This is an exciting and desirable thing, but no one believes it.
In their understanding, what the government likes most is to stabilize you first, then subdue you, and then settle the scores separately after everything is settled. In other words, if you really surrender like this, you will most likely become a lamb to be slaughtered.
well……
Qi Yu sighed quietly and thought to himself: It seems that the credibility of the imperial court has been completely exhausted by the previous prefect. It will take some time to pick it up again.
…
Another day has passed.
At noon, Gao Zhongde came into the tent to ask for an audience.
"Master Qi, Na Yan's military morale is now unstable. I'm worried that he will repeat his old tricks and ruthlessly abandon this lair and instead hide in the mountains to hide."
Is this a guerrilla fight?
Qi Yu smiled and said, "We're not afraid!"
"Why?"
"If that's the case, it's playing into my hands!" Qi Yu smiled and continued: "If he leaves, I will let Harry occupy the magpie's nest and stay here for a long time."
For this group of Japanese pirates, I am worried that I have no place to place them. If there is an empty nest, why not occupy it?
Gao Zhongde thought for a moment and said, "Your Excellency's idea seems good, but it is difficult to implement."
Qi Yu snorted and asked, "Why?"
"Because the food in this stronghold is not enough to sustain it for a long time." Seeing his confusion, Gao Zhongde hurriedly explained: "That banquet is not an ordinary treacherous one. Although he has stocked up some food in this main stronghold, he is also building something deep in the mountains. The granary is empty. Therefore, they are not worried about running out of food in the future."
He is indeed very smart, he actually knows the truth of not putting all eggs in the same basket.
But no problem!
"Haha..." Qi Yu had a relaxed look on his face. After he had laughed enough, he said to him meaningfully: "General Gao is cautious and thoughtful in considering things. Qi admires him, but you have ignored another important factor. ."
"Oh?" Gao Zhongde looked puzzled and said curiously: "Please enlighten me."
"Well, General, you know that these Fuso troops were originally prisoners of Japanese pirates. They had rules and restraints because of Harry's teachings."
"Yes!"
"Haha, dogs will never change from eating shit. I have always believed that their wild nature is still there. Since this is the case, why don't I take advantage of it?" Qi Yu smacked his lips and asked: "General, do you know that Japanese pirates are the worst? What are you good at?”
Gao Zhongde said without thinking: "Of course it was murder, arson, robbery and plunder."
"Not bad!" Qi Yu nodded and said longingly: "If Harry's Fuso Army can be stationed here, I can guarantee that it won't be long before that banquet will be devoured by Harry's army who feeds on war."
Fighting to feed war?
Haha~~~
"I understand!" Suddenly, Gao Zhongde felt that something had suddenly dawned on him, and he could see the sun.
I was even more impressed by the civil servant Mr. Qi.
