Although the number of agents and escorts who came to suppress the bandits was more than twice that of the bandits, the bandits occupied a favorable terrain and commanded a commanding position. If they wanted to invade the stronghold and completely eliminate them, they would pay a heavy price. In order to reduce casualties, a forced attack is not advisable.
.
However, the gangsters must be eliminated quickly. The gangsters had food and drink on the mountain, but the food supply of the policemen and bodyguards was a bit troublesome. Before they were captured, the policemen and bodyguards could not evacuate. Yu Kun was a little worried.
Worried that the gangsters will take the opportunity to escape.
Yu Kun thought of using explosives to blow down the village gate, but he still needed to send someone back to discuss with the county magistrate to collect the explosives before returning. Most of the day passed. Suddenly, a good idea came to Yu Kun's mind, use fire to attack! Here is
In a forest, Yu Kun immediately ordered his men to go outside the village to send a message to the brothers who were responding and quickly collect dry firewood!
Half an hour later, a large pile of firewood was delivered to Yu Kun. Yu Kun ordered the policemen to pile all the firewood near the village gate, and then lit the firewood with fire sticks. The gangsters guarding the city did not know how they came back at first.
When the firewood started burning, they panicked in the village. The gangsters on the mountain began to argue fiercely. Some wanted to rush down the mountain and fight to the death with the policemen, while others suggested retreating to other places to preserve their strength.
Lao Si saw the stronghold gate being burned with one eye and knew that the stronghold could not be saved. However, he could not abandon the stronghold and escape. He ordered Wang Wu and a dozen brothers to guard the stronghold gate with bows and arrows. Once anyone entered the stronghold, they would concentrate their efforts to shoot them.
Kill. One-eye is preparing to sneak away through the village gate in front with the people.
Wang Wu saw One Eye's intention, and he informed Yu Kun of the news with pen and paper. He learned that there were only eleven people guarding the gate of the village, and Yu Kun left ten agents and ten bodyguards, and the rest left
Zhang Yu led the way around to the front gate of the village to intercept One Eye.
After two quarters of an hour, the firewood was almost finished burning. The wooden village door was burned down to only the edge of the door frame. Yu Kun considered that the gangster guarding the door had a crossbow in his hand, so he first ordered two detectives to enter the village with shields.
Find out what's true. As soon as the two men passed through the smoke-filled village gate, more than a dozen arrows hit the shields.
The two of them retreated outside the village gate and reported the situation to Yu Kun. "Brothers guarding the city, I know that many of you were forced to join Erlong Mountain for life, and some of you were forced to do this.
A group of people. I am the leader of Yu Kun, and I promise you that as long as you are not as good as our enemy, I will spare your life. If you have meritorious service, I can let you go home immediately after wiping out the die-hards on the mountain!"
"Chief Wang, what do you think we should do?" More than a dozen gangsters guarding the gate asked Wang Wu for his opinion.
"If I'm not wrong, One Eye has now run away with his wife Yazhai with gold, silver and jewels. He only left us here to give him time to escape. There are only eleven of us. Sooner or later we will be arrested and killed.
If you lose or catch them, why not take this opportunity to join them to make up for your mistakes, and maybe save your life!"
"Yu Captou, we surrender, now we throw our bows and arrows outside the city wall!" Wang Wu shouted loudly to Yu Kun. Yu Kun may have doubts when others say this. When Wang Wu said this, Yu Kun knew
Things took a turn for the better. As soon as Wang Wu finished speaking, more than a dozen crossbows and arrows from generation to generation were thrown outside the village gate. After a while, eleven people filed out of the village gate with their heads in hands.
Yu Kun briefly spoke a few words to the gangsters, and the reason why he was kind and threatening to them was that he was afraid that some of them were taking chances. Yu Kun returned the bows, arrows and weapons he had to the surrendered gangsters, and asked them to lead the way.
Chasing the escaped One Eye and others.
Wang Wu was familiar with the terrain of the village, so he chased very quickly. He accidentally encountered a small group of bandits on the way, and most of them were persuaded to surrender by Wang Wu. Four or five who resisted desperately were quickly killed by the police and escorts.
