Chapter 117 Encirclement and Suppression by the Officials
"Okay! We believe in you!"
He was straight-tempered and full of admiration: "From now on, you will be the eldest brother of the three of us!"
"That's right... If you don't mind, my three brothers and sisters are willing to call you the eldest brother."
"We will all listen to you from now on!"
Nan Yanxi saw the three of them saying this and hurriedly returned the gift.
He said happily to the three of them: "If the three brothers don't give up, then the foolish brother...it would be better to obey orders than to be respectful."
"Hahaha, okay! Come here, set up the incense table!"
Lu Ying gave instructions to his men cheerfully, but he didn't expect any soldiers to run in in a panic.
"No...it's not good...the boss...the army is here!"
"What!" Everyone was shocked and stood up nervously.
Gao Chong and Lu Ying, in particular, looked at Nan Yanxi and the others with wary expressions.
But Nan Yanxi also understood this. After all, as soon as he went up the mountain, officers and soldiers surrounded him.
If it were me, I would subconsciously think that way.
Nan Yanxi waved her hands towards the two of them, signaling them to be calm.
Then he asked the young man: "Little brother, how many people are there in the army and where are they now?"
"The officers... there are about two hundred officers and soldiers, and they are almost at the bottom of the mountain."
The guy was very panicked: "I guess we can reach Dazhai in half an hour."
Nan Yanxi nodded when he heard this, then turned to look at Lu Ying and the others.
"Brother, how many people are there in your village?"
"There are... almost ninety people... Brother, you...?"
Seeing Nan Yanxi like this, it doesn't feel like an official or military officer.
Lu Ying and the others suddenly became confused again.
"More than ninety people..." Nan Yanxi touched her chin and made a simple calculation.
Including the dozen people he brought with him, it was enough for one hundred people.
Then he slapped his thigh: "One hundred against two hundred, it's not a big problem!"
He turned to look at the three of them: "You just listened to me...does that count?"
"Uh..." The three of them looked at each other: "I think I can count, but..."
"It's nothing, everyone listens to my orders!"
Nan Yanxi waved his hand: "Generals, obey the order!"
Everyone stood up one after another. Nan Yanxi's eyes were serious and slow as he scanned everyone.
After looking around with serious eyes, he stopped at Ye Zhiyu.
He beamed with joy for a moment: "Hehe...Sister Ye...what do you think about this?"
Everyone's faces suddenly turned black, and Ye Zhiyu stroked his forehead helplessly.
"Okay...the atmosphere has been building for a long time. Do you have any ideas?"
"Yes, why don't I have an idea... I'm thinking of you."
Nan Yanxi acted like a rogue, with a charming smile on her face: "Besides, how can I compare to you in strategizing and winning a thousand miles away..."
"Well... I'm very pleased with this flattery, sister."
Ye Zhiyu even had precious time and didn't argue with this kid anymore.
She knew in her heart that Nan Yanxi intended to let her direct a scene.
It can not only test Ye Zhiyu's ability initially, but also let everyone present see her ability.
In this way, she can convince the public and lay the foundation for her future command of operations.
Without hesitation, he ordered Lu Ying to bring a topographic map of the mountain, and Ye Zhiyu began to study it carefully.
This mountain is called Laohu Mountain. The terrain is neither steep nor high.
It is called a mountain, but it is actually a small hill in the local area.
There is no danger to defend in the surrounding area, and there is no water source on the mountain, so it is really not suitable for defensive operations.
Fortunately, not many officers and soldiers came this time. Otherwise, if they surrounded the mountain, they would be in a dead end.
According to the report from the minions at the foot of the mountain, this group of officers and soldiers underestimated the enemy.
Maybe he felt that there were only a hundred or so child soldiers in this village.
And we have two hundred regular troops on our side. No matter how we fight, we can win!
The two hundred officers and soldiers were leisurely and leisurely, arranged in two columns, with the commander riding on a tall horse.
Walking swaggeringly towards the Ba Dao Army's stronghold.
Ye Zhiyu made a decisive decision and ordered Xiao Li and Ying Yue to lead the original Taoyuanzhuang guards to meet the enemy.
Everyone rides a horse, but they are asked to only lose and not win.
All we need to do is find a way to get the officers and soldiers to pursue us.
The men of the original Ba Sword Army were divided into three teams.
Lu Ying, Gao Chong, and Nan Yanxi each led a team and ambush at different locations on the mountain road.
He ordered Lu Ying, who was ambushing in front, to charge at the two men. When he saw the officers and soldiers chasing them, he should not rush to fight.
After Nan Yanxi, who was ambushing the last one, got in touch with the officers and soldiers, the two of them attacked again.
In this way, the loose army can be cut into three sections on the mountain road, so that they cannot be connected end to end.
At the same time, the three teams were ordered to carry as many flags as possible during the battle, and to prepare many rolling stones and kerosene rockets.
When fighting, you should wave flags and shout a lot, pretending to be ambushing a large number of troops.
Taking advantage of the geographical advantage, instead of rushing to fight with the army, first throw down the rolling stones and kerosene rockets.
Wait until the officers and soldiers are in chaos, then engage them in close combat.
At that time, let Xiao Li lead his men to rush back and find an opportunity to kill as many leaders as possible.
In this way, the enemy army will be defeated.
Everyone got the order and turned around to get ready to go.
At this time, only Ye Zhiyu and a few of her maids were left in the village.
However, she was not nervous at all, and actually drank tea leisurely in the big tent.
At this time, on the winding mountain road, Chen Laoer, the commander of the local county garrison camp, was complaining to his subordinates.
"Oh... I'm so unlucky to be in such a remote and remote place on such a hot day."
"Yes, Dutou, you said that this is the job of the patrol battalion, but it has to be done by our garrison battalion."
Chen Laoer shook his head helplessly: "Hey...who let Lao Zhang from the patrol camp have a backstage?"
"Such a wasteful job will fall on us."
The subordinate nodded, and suddenly thought of something: "I said it was all over my head..."
"I heard that one of the bandit leaders on this mountain is the son of the previous magistrate of Qinghe County in the north."
"Also, I heard that Yingwu's daughter is also on the mountain."
"Huh?" Chen Laoer was stunned when he heard this: "Daughter Ying Wu? The one named Ying Yue?"
"Yes, that's the girl." The subordinate nodded quickly.
With a bad smile on his face, he said: "It wasn't the first few months when the county governor fell in love with her and asked her to be his concubine."
"That old boy Yingwu is smelly and tough. If you don't want to do it, he's not talented... um..."
The subordinate raised his eyebrows, made a knife-like gesture with his hand, and shook it at his neck a few times.
"You don't know how to appreciate it, bah!"
Chen Laoer spat fiercely: "This guy with the surname Win often opposed me back then."
"But..." He touched his chin slightly, revealing a look of salivation on his face.
"That daughter of his is quite as beautiful as a flower."
"And he has a fierce temper, but he is a famous little fierce horse in the county."
Then he turned around and ordered: "Listen to me, wait until you see that beautiful girl Ying Yue."
"You have some points in your hand, but don't get killed."
"I haven't ridden a pony yet! Huh? Hahaha..."
As the saying goes, the evil servant of the master is rampant, and several of the followers on the side also laughed lewdly.
However, before he finished speaking, an arrow suddenly shot out, and Chen Laoer quickly lowered his head.
The arrow directly broke his helmet, and then hit the throat of a follower behind him.
