Wang Yi was the first to hold back: "Mr. Xie, did you say something wrong? That Yunying Village is at odds with us, and we really want it to be destroyed! Why do you want to help Yunying Village now that the opportunity has come? Eagle Village?"
The fourth leader, Chen Zhong, looked thoughtful.
Xie Yu explained: "At other times, Yunying Village can be destroyed. But not now! Yubai led the army to eliminate the banditry, and he did not come just to attack Yunying Village alone. He came to attack all the surrounding areas of Ta County. Stockade!”
"And our Baishi Village is closest to Yunying Village. Once Yunying Village is destroyed, it will be our turn next!"
"So we want Yunying Village to stand in front of us and bear Yu Bai's wrath for us! Until Yu Bai gives up the idea of suppressing the bandits, Yunying Village cannot be destroyed!"
"But we can't influence Yu Bai's thoughts. Whether he wants to suppress the bandits or not is not something we can say!"
Xie Yu said with a smile: "Why don't you count it? If we kill half of his people, will he still be in the mood to continue suppressing the bandits?"
Of course Xie Yu understood the real purpose of Yu Bai's coming to suppress the bandits.
It's nothing more than accumulating military merit.
And when I choose to suppress bandits, I feel that these bandits are nothing to fear! How could a group of refugees who could only wield sickles and hoes be a match for his three hundred soldiers?
So when Xie Yuzhen knocked out half of Yubai's troops, he would understand that the gain outweighs the loss!
Of course, Xie Yu also understands what the final result of this will be.
That is to chase away the small ones and attract the big ones.
But Xie Yu is also betting.
He was betting that Yu Bai's father, Yu Rui, a dignified second-grade official, would not hand over the Shenji Camp to his son to squander it just to vent his anger.
If he really does this, I believe his political opponents in the court will be happy to hear about it.
It's more likely that Yu Rui's political opponents will seize this opportunity to deal with Yu Bai hard!
By then, Yu Bai would have no time to take care of himself, let alone bring someone back to vent his anger.
Of course, Xie Yu also has his own confidence: as long as there is no large-scale invasion by hot weapon troops like the Shenji Battalion, and he is given a buffer time, he is sure that all those who have ideas for Baishi Village will be disgraced!
The tone of helping Yunying Village has been set.
In the next three days, Xie Yu asked the fifty selected people to practice archery skills intensively.
Fifty stone bows have been made in the village, and there are countless arrows.
The fifty selected people practiced every day, and the fingers wearing finger guards were worn until they bled. But even so, no one complained about tiredness or suffering.
Since Xie Yu returned to the village with money and food, everyone's quality of life has improved visibly.
Not only do they eat solid food every day, but they also have meat and wine every now and then!
The villagers who were originally as thin as sticks gained a lot of weight in just half a month. Everyone said that Mr. Xie brought these good days.
Therefore, no one would say "no" to Mr. Xie's arrangement.
While Xie Yu strengthened nutrition, improved physical fitness and skills for everyone, he also did not miss the influence of ideological education classes.
He had previously selected a few guys who had studied and spent more than an hour a day giving ideological education classes to these guys.
As for the content of the class, it directly copied the ideological core of the previous army.
Of course, he made appropriate modifications to some concepts that were not acceptable to the current society.
Staff officers are not only good at making battle plans, they are also good at ideological mobilization!
The guys who were brainwashed by him also began to instill concepts such as "freedom", "equality", "dedication", "rule of law" and so on into others every day.
At the beginning, several heads of the family felt that Xie Yu was fooling around.
But later, when they heard their subordinates discussing these contents in their free time every day, they also became curious about these things.
When people are curious, they naturally want to explore.
So several leaders also took a few ideological classes.
After that, the way they looked at Xie Yu was different.
Especially Bai Xiaonan.
When getting along with Xie Yu, Bai Xiaonan didn't talk much. After listening to those ideological lessons, Bai Xiaonan seemed even more silent.
Until one day, Bai Xiaonan suddenly asked Xie Yu: "Are the things you teach everyone what you think about on your own?"
Xie Yu smiled and said, "Of course."
"Is there really... such a day?" Bai Xiaonan's eyes seemed to be full of longing.
Looking at Xie Yu's eyes, there is a hint of admiration and reverence!
Xie Yu nodded and said: "There will be!"
…
Three days later, Xie Yu took Bai Xiaonan, Wang Yi and fifty other brothers from the village and left Baishi Village before dawn.
Chen Zhong, the fourth master, stayed in the village to guard in case of emergencies.
Xie Yu's group of people all carried hard bows on their backs and were full of arrows. In order to reduce the burden, Xie Yu asked everyone not to bring knives.
"This time we will only conduct an ambush and cause as many casualties as possible to Yubai's people without fighting! As soon as they show signs of counterattack, withdraw immediately! There are people from Yunying Village waiting for them behind!"
This is the tactical thought conveyed by Xie Yu.
To sum it up, it means the same thing: shoot all the arrows in your hand and kill as many as you can! After shooting, he dodges others and is not willing to fight.
After walking through the mountains for more than half an hour, when it was just dawn, Xie Yu had already led everyone to the place he had surveyed before.
This is good terrain for an ambush.
There is a mountain road about two hundred feet long, with steep rocky slopes on both sides.
It is wide in the middle and narrow at both ends.
The narrowest road sections at the front and back can only accommodate one vehicle.
The entire road is like a spindle surface.
When I saw this place before, the first thought in Xie Yu's mind was that the Red Army liked this kind of terrain the most when they fought against the Japs.
After everyone set up an ambush at a high place, Wang Yi couldn't help but admire: "Mr. Xie really knows how to choose a place. Just throwing rocks down here can kill a lot of people."
"Okay, stop talking. You'll save yourself the trouble of alerting the enemy later!"
Xie Yu explained, and everyone lay down on the ground and stopped saying anything.
This wait lasted more than an hour.
When many people felt sleepy, the sound of horse hooves came from the distant mountain road.
Xie Yu looked up at the end of the mountain road.
I saw a group of soldiers with bright armor, riding tall horses, appearing at the intersection.
Perhaps out of professional sensitivity, the leader, a man wearing a helmet and looking like a general, reined in his horse and stopped.
He looked at the valley road ahead and felt a little guilty in his heart.
As a fifth-grade General Wu Jie, Yu Bai was well versed in military science.
Of course he could see the danger on this stretch of road.
But... can a group of bandits have such high fighting qualities?
He had some doubts.
So Yu Bai just hesitated for a while, then waved to the soldiers behind him to follow.
Of course, you still need to be vigilant.
"Hurry through quickly, don't follow too closely!"
After the deputy general passed on the order, Yu Bai tightened his horse's rope and was the first to step into the valley road.
At this time, Xie Yu and others were already ready.
Everyone held their breath and clutched the hard bows in their hands.
When Xie Yu saw that most of Yu Bai's battalion guards had entered the valley and Yu Bai was almost at the narrow exit at the end, he finally drew his bow and shouted loudly: "Hit!"
Arrows rained down instantly in the valley!
