Three Kingdoms: My Wife Is Diao Chan

Chapter 246 Attacking Bandits
Chapter 247 Attacking Bandits
Liu Ji is almost 50 years old this year. Thinking back on the past half of his life, those years when he worked for the court, he is really aggrieved. He still lives like a human being in the past [-] years of being the king of the mountain!
Liu Ji, the leader of the Mangshan bandits, is a native of Luoyang. He was originally a military officer at Xuanmenguan. Mang Shan became a bandit.

When Liu Ji defected, the Eastern Han Dynasty was already in turmoil under the attack of the Yellow Turban Army, and then the warlords fought in chaos, and the world was in chaos. Therefore, Liu Ji has plagued the surrounding area of ​​Mang Mountain for more than [-] years, but he has not been wiped out!

In fact, it is easy to understand. Before Cao Chong came to Luoyang, Lao Cao didn't even have time to clean up Luoyang. At that time, Luoyang was a three-way zone. Who would care about a group of bandits on the edge of Luoyang.

Liu Ji is frowning now, looking at the camp of officers and soldiers outside the canyon, thinking about the whole process of this operation, he wants to understand why he is chasing him so hard, this is very different from seeing officers and soldiers in the past.

I received a batch of grain and cloth from Zheng Yi, and went to the refugee resettlement site in Luoyang as agreed to help a man named Zheng Yuan launch a civil uprising.

Liu Ji didn't have much hope for Zheng Yuan who wanted to launch a civil uprising. What about the unarmed refugees?It was estimated that he would be suppressed by the officers and soldiers in an instant, but for the sake of money and food, Liu Ji went anyway. In order to prevent accidents, he asked many of his subordinates to meet him at the mountain pass.

As a result, the so-called Zheng Yuan was not found among the refugees at all, and the Kua County of the officers and soldiers was even chased after him.

"General, let's go back to the mountains? Why do we have to fight with the officers and soldiers outside? The mountains are our world."

Because he was a military officer of the imperial court, although Liu Ji was a bandit, he named himself General Anton.

"Idiot! We have been able to gain a foothold in Mangshan these years because the governments of the surrounding counties are afraid of us. This time, the little baby county magistrate in Luoyang dared to send troops to chase him to the mountain pass without giving him a lesson. In the future, the counties in other counties The officials will not take us seriously, and the government will block the road into the mountain, and there will be no external supplies, what will we eat?"

Liu Ji didn't want to fight head-on with the officers and soldiers, but this baby Luoyang Ling sent people to chase him all the way to the entrance of Mangshan Mountain!

Didn't they just kill a few refugees?I didn't even grab food!Do you need to chase across counties?
"But they have a lot of people, reinforcements have been coming all the time, and now they are three or four times our number!"

"Hmph! The general of the officers and soldiers is an idiot. This canyon is so big. He needs so many people to use his ass. Does he want to use up more people to kill us? Then use him to kill more officers and soldiers before entering the mountain. , Only by killing them, we will have a good life in the future!"

While reprimanding his subordinates, Liu Ji thought about why the officers and soldiers refused to attack, and kept confronting him outside.

"Report! Report to the general, yes, a large number of officers and soldiers have entered the mountain from the east!"

Now the bandits are in a hurry.

"General, don't care about these officers and soldiers, shall we copy the cottage?"

"Yes, the cottage is important, General!"

Just when Liu Ji was considering whether to go back to the cottage first.

"General! The officers and soldiers on the opposite side are about to attack!"

Liu Ji looked up towards the mouth of the canyon, and saw two fireballs drawing an arc in the air, then landed on the fence at the mouth of the canyon and refused to ride the horse.

The fireball exploded as soon as it hit the ground, turning into a sea of ​​flames, and the fence at Taniguchi and the horses were instantly ignited. Then, more fireballs flew over.

Liu Ji's face darkened: "These officers and soldiers are really down to earth, they brought all the trebuchets and kerosene cans!"

The bandits guarding the fence and behind the horses were forced back again and again by the ferocious fire. The bandits who got too close were splashed by the burst oil tank, and immediately caught fire, rolling and crying on the ground, trying to extinguish the flames on their bodies.

"All retreat behind the second line of defense! Watch out for officers and soldiers on the hillside to charge, and must hold the hill!" Liu Ji ordered loudly.

"Brothers! Only by killing the officers and soldiers in front of us can we return to the stronghold, otherwise we will be attacked from the front and back, and the stronghold will not be able to defend!"

Liu Ji not only set up fences at the mouth of the valley to keep horses away, but also dug a ditch in the valley. This place is so close to the mountains that there is actually a thick layer of soil on the ground.

Liu Ji really knows how to fight. If the officers and soldiers rush into the canyon, are blocked by trenches, and are attacked on three sides, the losses will definitely not be small.

How could Cao Chong make people rush into the canyon recklessly?He even stopped Lu Xun from sending people to seize the hilly highlands.

There are obviously guards on the hills and high grounds. How many people will die if they rush up?I only have this little force, it is precious!
"Smoke!" Cao Chong simply ordered.

A team of officers and soldiers rushed to the mouth of the valley and piled piles of wet thatch on the fire.

The bandits at the mouth of the valley had already retreated, and the bows and arrows on the hills and highlands could not reach them. No one stopped the officers and soldiers from setting off smoke at the mouth of the valley.

In early summer, it is the time when the southeast wind blows.

This canyon runs from north to south by west, and Cao Chong and others are standing at the southwest entrance of the canyon.

The wind in early summer is not strong, slowly blowing all the black smoke into the canyon!

The bandit in the canyon immediately began to cough violently, with tears and snot flowing uncontrollably!

Cao Chong took his people and waited at Taniguchi to see how long you can last!
The bandits lasted far shorter than Cao Chong expected. In fact, when Liu Ji saw Cao Chong releasing the smoke, he immediately ordered to retreat!
When the thick smoke cleared and Cao Chong led his men to the entrance of Mang Mountain, the thieves had already entered the mountain!
Not only that, the bandits also set a fire at the intersection of entering the mountain to prevent Cao Chong from pursuing.

"Hehe! These bandits are very smart!" Cao Chong said with a smile as he watched the soldiers clear away the fire at the intersection.

"Young master, now that the bandits have retreated into the forest unscathed, what should we do next?" Lu Xun asked angrily.

Originally, he wanted to kill more bandits, but the young master cherished his strength and let all the bandits run into the forest.

Cao Chong loves his subordinates, Lu Xun is very grateful, but it is troublesome for all the thieves to run into the forest!

"What else can I do? Chase me, we have 2000 people, Guo Lingyin's 5000 people are ten times more than the enemy, and if they get into the mountains, can they still escape? In addition, there are three county magistrates with officials and civilians at various intersections guard."

Originally, there was no hope that a few bandits could be killed at Taniguchi. If the bandits were defeated, they would definitely run into the forest.

"Young master, since the thieves have already fled into the mountains, let's go into the mountains to encircle and suppress them. You, young master, are in charge of the south, the old man is in charge of the east and north, and the west is close to Luoyang. It is unlikely that the thieves will flee to the west, and there are also young masters who will take care of it this time. We must encircle and wipe out this group of stubborn bandits.”

"Follow Guo Lingyin's arrangement!"

"Since that's the case, the old man will go back to the east to deploy it himself, and leave this place to the young master."

Guo He will definitely not enter the mountain with Cao Chong, he still has [-] troops to command in the east!

He came to Yanshi County because he was afraid that Cao Chong would not be able to handle military affairs because he was too young, but now it seems that he was too worried.
