() After the unremitting efforts of a group of people, a mechanism was finally found on the back of Cao Hu's tiger-skin seat in the fake "Juyi Hall". When the mechanism was activated, the seat moved slowly, and a secret room appeared under the seat.
The secret room was not big. Liu Yu walked into the secret room. There were three large boxes inside, and soldiers from the trapped camp were stationed beside them.
Looking at these three boxes, Liu Yu knew that this was what Cao Hu was talking about. Without thinking, he ordered "open".
After hearing the order, several sergeants stepped forward, drew their swords out of their sheaths, and struck hard on the copper lock on the box. With a "crash", the copper lock was split open, and the sergeants slowly opened the box.
.I saw a faint light shining in the box, which almost "dazzled" Liu Yu's eyes. Among these boxes, one contained various jewelry, one contained precious toys, and the remaining contained 'golden'.
The amount of gold is estimated to be several thousand taels. You must know that the ratio of gold to silver is one to one hundred, which means that the gold alone is hundreds of thousands of taels.
"You! How rich is a little bandit leader? How rich are those big gangsters!" These gold and silver treasures greatly stimulated Liu Yu, and just thinking about it made Liu Yu's blood boil.
In this surprise attack on Black Tiger Mountain, Liu Yu wiped out all the bandits with zero losses and harvested a total of 73,000 taels of silver, 3,500 taels of gold, and two large boxes of jewelry. Food and weapons were not counted.
Darling, a little bandit is so rich. Liu Yu, who studied economics in his previous life, quickly figured out an account. Attacking the little bandit, the casualties are negligible and the harvest is huge. This is simply a classic getting something for nothing. Why not do it.
Liu Yu immediately made the decision, and the seven brigades of the trapped camp attacked separately to wipe out the small-scale bandits in Beiyan County. After more than ten days of sporadic siege and suppression, the small-scale bandits in the entire Beiyan County were outnumbered by the seven small-scale bandits in the trapped camp.
Under the joint strangulation of the brigade, they have disappeared one after another.
Gradually, the small group of bandits who paid the least price and gained the most were no longer able to fight. Liu Yu, who had already gained a lot of benefits from suppressing the bandits, would certainly not give up this business without capital.
Taking into account the original intention of training troops, the small and medium-sized bandits were relatively weak. Encircling and suppressing them and trapping them in the camp was just to tease them and they would not get effective training. Liu Yu ignored the medium-sized bandits and directly set his sights on the three largest groups in the territory.
On the bandits.
The three major bandits all have deep foundations and many masters. Even the government and the army are taboo on three-point bandits. Among them, the strongest, oldest, and probably the richest are the Baoqingshan bandits. To eliminate the Baoqingshan bandits, not only
The two original intentions of training troops and harvesting money can also destroy the confidence and courage of the bandits in Beiyan County in one fell swoop. You must know that the bandits rely on their fierceness to fight. Without confidence and courage, the bandits are almost like toothless tigers.
Considering various reasons, Liu Yu placed his target on Baoqing Mountain. Some people originally expressed different opinions, but with Liu Yu's persistence, the Baoqing Mountain bandits became the first choice for encirclement and suppression by the trapped camp.
Baoqing Mountain, as the junction of the Yan and Ming countries, is a rare mountain with a radius of tens of kilometers. In addition, its dense forests form an invisible natural barrier. Since the confrontation between the Yan and Ming countries, Bao Qing Mountain has
There gathered a group of bandits that could never be wiped out.
Compared with the bandits in Black Tiger Mountain, the bandits in Baoqing Mountain are not that simple. Wang Zhong, the bandit leader of the Baoqing Mountain bandits, is smart, capable, loyal, and has a high prestige in the green forest. He is good at drilling camps, and even in the Ming and Yan Dynasties.
When the two countries were at war, they had both sides and gained a lot of benefits.
The Baoqingshan bandits under his command are well-trained and well-equipped. Many of them were even defeated troops during the war between the Ming and Yan countries. The two countries of Ming and Yan had been fighting for many years, and no defeated troops were seen leaving, which shows his prestige.
high.
After more than ten days of bandit suppression operations, most of the major bandits in Beiyan County knew that someone was going crazy to suppress bandits. Small and medium-sized bandits could not help but secretly be on guard, and even formed an alliance with each other, vowing that "if one side is in trouble, all parties will support it." Some of them
The large bandits were dismissive. They were quite confident in their own strength and they ate and drank as they should.
Reality is always cruel. Who would have known that Liu Yu did not target small and medium-sized bandits, but directly targeted the strongest Baoqingshan bandits. In the eyes of ordinary people, this is looking for death.
Considering that the Baoqingshan bandits were well-trained, no less than the general army, it was relatively difficult to detect the enemy's situation. On the eve of the suppression of the bandits, Liu Yu hired skilled craftsmen, wasted several crystals, and successfully polished several concave and convex lenses.
Liu Yu used these things to make several simple monocular telescopes, which he named "telescopes".
The purpose of a telescope is 'magical', at least in this world where this thing has not been invented yet. So when Liu Yu took out the "telescope" he invented, the soldiers in the trapped camp were in awe of Liu Yu again.
layer.
Liu Yu selected several sergeants from the trapped camp who were good at martial arts, light kung fu, and good at reconnaissance, and organized them into a separate scout team. He gave them the completed "Telescope" for use.
Time passed quickly. After resting for two days, the trapped camp set off on the road to suppress the bandits again under Liu Yu's order. In order to reduce casualties, Liu Yu also chose to raid at night.
Among the surrounding peaks, no one can be found higher than the mountain where the bandit's village is located. Foreign enemies cannot look down from above and know nothing about the situation in the village. However, the bandits on the mountain can take in everything around them.
Fundus. Once a foreign enemy invades, the bandits on the mountain will have enough time to prepare.
Moreover, on the way up the mountain, we don’t know how many light and dark sentries there are, and there are even many traps. If you are not careful, you will be alerted by the bandits, and in serious cases, you will suffer heavy losses.
In the dark night, in order not to make any noise, the road was not smooth and full of thorns. From the foot of Baoqing Mountain, we rushed to the edge of the mountain where the bandits were located. The distance in a straight line was only about ten miles, but it took a long time to fall into the camp.
It took less than half a day. Fortunately, it was not early in the morning when Liu Yu set off, and when he arrived at his destination, it was the darkest time.
The scout team attacked separately, sneaked into the grass, and took out a telescope to observe. It was just a small copper pipe, less than a foot long when the two ends were opened. The small head was only as big as an eye, and the big head was as big as a baby's fist.
The workmanship is much rougher than that of a monocular telescope on Earth, and of course the observation distance is much closer.
Liu Yu also took the camera and scanned the trails up and down Baoqing Mountain. In all honesty, the place chosen by Wang Zhong, the bandit leader of Baoqing Mountain, was relatively good. Not only was the mountain road rugged, but the mountain was also quite dangerous.
Easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Looking at the steep mountain road, Liu Yu's face was filled with uncertainty, and she secretly thought, "It seems like today will be a tough battle, and there may be big losses, so be careful."
Soon, the scouts who went to investigate returned secretly in twos and threes.
"Your Highness, there are three open sentinels on the trail we are on, all of which are set up in dangerous places and guarded by crossbowmen. There are about two hidden sentries, one hidden on the branches and one in the grass.
Hidden”
"Your Highness, there is also a road going up and down the mountain in the south. There are also three open posts, but there are probably three hidden posts. I even turned around to the north. Just like the one on the west side, it is extremely steep and there is no way to go."
After hearing the scouts' report, Liu Yu was very dissatisfied, "What does that mean? You have to know that a little mistake will cause us to be destroyed.
The scout said with a sad face, "Your Highness, the sky is dark, the terrain here is complex, and the grass and trees are dense. I really can't be sure."
Liu Yu also knew that the dim night not only provided cover for his raids, but also for the bandits' hidden posts. No matter how elite his scouts were, they could not effectively identify each hidden post and trap one by one.
When Liu Yu set his target on the Baoqing Mountain bandits, he was already mentally prepared and treated the bandit suppression as a major difficulty. But when the difficulty was really in front of him, he felt that the psychological preparation he had made was still the same.
There are some shortcomings and too many things are ignored. If it is not done well, it will fall into the camp and suffer heavy losses.
Liu Yu had two choices before him. One was to take the initiative to attack, and the other was to wait for the bandits from Baoqing Mountain to come down. Bandits and bandits would always come down from the mountain to harm the people.
