Chapter 604: Action
In the early morning two days later, the Lu family sent 800 private soldiers, as well as 400 strong men, a total of 1,200 people, carrying more than 100 grain trucks to leave the county seat of Jingxian County, of which 200 people were still elite private soldiers specially trained by the Lu family.
This can be seen from the fact that Wudu unified more than 1,500 mountain bandits in Huizhou at the beginning. Of course, the combat effectiveness of the mountain bandits must be stronger, but they are relatively scattered. And Wudu died, and he actually had the courage to attack Meishanzhai, because he would choose the opportunity, he really almost succeeded.
Seeing this, even if he had confidence in Li Xiuning, Zhou Shaoyu hurriedly sent someone to report the news to Zhuzhu County, although the spies sent by Li Xiuning would find out sooner or later, but if he knew a little earlier, he would have more time to deal with it.
In the dense forest, Zhou Shaoyu and Chen Shuozhen hid in camouflage, looked at the slow carriages and horses on the road below the mountain, and estimated the time, no matter what, they would not be able to reach the side of Zhuzhu County tomorrow. Of course, although you have to pass through Zhuzhu County, because of the different geographical locations, you don't have to go through the county seat like Zhou Shaoyu, at most, you have to dip into the edge of Zhuzhu County, and then go directly into Dongshui County, and then take other trails to enter the boundary of Tanzhou.
This is for sure, if you really go to the border pass of Xingwu County, Tanzhou, how much grain can be left in this wave? At present, the Xingwu Army is not as honest as it used to be.
"Take a break, you're going to get busy tonight." Zhou Shaoyu smiled and said to Chen Shuozhen, who nodded with a smile in return, marrying her husband and following her husband, she has no ambitions now, as long as Zhou Shaoyu wants to do it, that's what she has to do.
Back in Hanshi Village, Zhou Shaoyu repeated this to Lu Lingqi again, since the Lu family has already made a move, then attacking the Tibetan Grain Cave is also on the agenda. And this important task was already handed over to Lu Lingqi.
That night, Zhou Shaoyu led more than 600 people with dry food to quietly send out through the night, and the grain cave from the Lu family was quietly hidden across two hills, and at the same time, Li Xiuning also led 500 troops and ambushed a place where the grain team must pass.
Thinking that when he went south to Chenghuizhou, Li Xiuning had already run all over Chenghuizhou, and he didn't dare to say that he knew everything, but he knew the general road, and even drew a picture album for viewing at any time.
If you just want to win, Li Xiuning has a way, even if you fight more with less, you have enough confidence, 500 people against 1,002, it seems that you have suffered a big loss, but these 500 soldiers are all trained by Li Xiuning with all his heart, and the time is not short, if you can't win, Li Xiuning himself has seen it.
However, the task given by Zhou Shaoyu is not only to win, but also to block, and then release people for help. It's a bit harder.
The reason for this order, Li Xiuning also understands that although the situation in Jingxian County is not well known, it is definitely not easy to fight, and the more this kind of tyrant who has been entrenched in the place for several years, the more he likes to build the nest like an iron bucket.
Guangyun and food, have sent so many people, but I think there should be a lot of left in the city, the besieging side is already prone to heavy losses, not to mention that the troops are not enough, it is the safest way to transfer the tiger away from the mountain, once the army sent out becomes a kite with a broken line, then there is no need to be afraid.
"That's it!" Li Xiuning looked at a concave circle on the map and had already made a decision.
There is only one road directly from Jingxian County to Dongshui County, and a small part of it passes through the range of Zhuzhu County, which happens to have a topography, which is extremely in line with the current requirements. As for abandoning this road and not going, it is impossible, Chenghui is mountainous, it is not easy to open up an official road, Rao is so, Chenghui Prefecture does not care for several years, perennial down, this road is also muddy, fortunately, there is a great drought in the world, and there is no rain for a long time, so in addition to the bumps, it is okay to arrive.
But it is also the best choice, the shortest distance is the most trouble-free, the road situation is also the best, the mountain trail is not nothing, but more than 100 grain trucks, which is so easy to walk.
The place Li Xiuning chose was a fork in the road, surrounded by mountains, which was conducive to ambush.
The most important thing is that at the other end of the fork in the road, there is a dead end, and at the end is a mountain depression basin, no, not only a basin, it seems to be like a sinkhole, straight and straight to open up a large circular pit, except for a narrow mountain pass, surrounded by steep cliffs, can not climb.
The reason why such a place also opened an official road has to be traced back to the early days of the founding of the Great Liang Dynasty, when Liang Taizu conquered the south and the north to fight in Chenghuizhou, and the fierce opponent at that time was suppressed and then hid here, but unfortunately it was finally found and slaughtered.
Although he was dead, Liang Taizu was still emotional, so he ordered someone to bury the body of this fierce enemy here, and ordered the local officials not to forget to worship.
It is for this reason that an official road will be built in this kind of place that is obviously a dead end.
On the second day, three o'clock. Li Xiuning has ambushed all the troops, looking at the mountains and forests without any abnormality, Li Xiuning nodded with satisfaction, not only satisfied that these soldiers have really been trained to look a little bit, but also satisfied with the camouflage uniforms on their bodies.
Although the speed is still not satisfactory to Li Xiuning, fortunately, it is enough to equip five hundred people.
Li Xiuning, who had already been rewarded by the spies, waited for a short time, and the grain team finally came slowly, and everyone held their breath, just waiting for an order.
The grain transportation team should not be too relaxed, probably because they think that there are more than 1,000 people, and no one dares to provoke them in the territory of Chenghuizhou. And walking slowly all the way, even if you are not tired, it is inevitable that it will be boring and lead to listlessness.
"Put!" Li Xiuning nodded to his side, and the man immediately understood, and he opened his loud voice and roared!
What to put? Naturally, it can't be an arrow, Zhou Shaoyu is poor, how can there be a whole team equipped with bows and arrows, and a very small number of them are good. Besides, archers are not so easy to train in the first place.
Therefore, the so-called 'put' is naturally the bamboo spear that was discussed at the beginning.
At the sound of an order, the forest resounded, and five hundred bamboo spears went out to fork in the road, as if covering the sky and the sun.
The grain transport team was dumbfounded, this was too sudden, and how many of them could equip shields? Even if the Lu family has that strength, they will not be willing to give up this capital.
"Help, help!" The grain convoy immediately panicked, scrambling to find cover, and even drew their swords for a position under the grain truck.
Li Xiuning pursed his lips with a cold face and disdain, and said, "I will be fully prepared for a loss, I never thought that it would be such a rabble!" ”
May my grandmother go all the way and be safe in heaven.
