Chapter 248 Lu Xun Commands Better Than You

Chapter 249 Lu Xun Commands Better Than You

"Young master, let me stay in the barracks with you, and General Lu Xun take people to the rear?" Xia Houba was a little hesitant about Cao Chong's order.

"It's better for Lu Xun to stay in the barracks. If bandits suddenly attack the camp, Lu Xun's command is better than yours."

"We have twice as many people as them, how dare they take the initiative to attack the camp?" Xia Houba didn't believe it.

"Active attack is the only way for them to get out of the predicament. The bandit leader seems to be very skilled in military affairs. I don't think they will give up this slim chance."

"General Xiahou, the young master is safe in the camp. Don't worry, go ahead and wipe out this group of bandits as soon as possible. We can also return to Luoyang as soon as possible. At this time, the young master will not leave Luoyang for too long." Lu Xun also said to Xiahouba.

It's not that Xia Houba doesn't respect military orders, it's just that, as Cao Chong's bodyguard, he generally doesn't want to leave Cao Chong's side easily.

Seeing that both Lu Xun and Cao Chong said so, Xia Houba stayed with 300 people.

Cao Chong and Lu Xun continued to advance with their troops.

"Come, come! Officers and soldiers are coming."

The bandit in charge of guarding reported happily to Liu Ji.

"Let the brothers do a good job of concealment, this time we must give the officers and soldiers a hard time."

The bandits waited for a long time behind bushes, grass, and rocks, but no officers and soldiers entered the mountain stream.

"What's going on? Where's the person?" The little boss lying in the grass got a little impatient.

After a while, the bandits ambushing on both sides of the mountain stream still did not see the officers and soldiers entering the ambush circle.

Liu Ji also felt something was wrong.

"General, the officers and soldiers stopped at the mouth of the mountain stream, as if they were about to set up camp."

Liu Ji looked at the sky, and it was time to set up camp. Although it was a bit early, it was not too much for officers and soldiers who were not familiar with the mountains and forests.

"General, what now? Are we staying here too?"

Liu Ji frowned, thought for a long time, and finally made up his mind.

"Leave some brothers to continue to ambush here, and the rest will go around behind the mountain stream with me, and we will go around behind the officers and soldiers in the dark."

"General, do you want to divide the troops? Our number is much smaller than that of the officers and soldiers. If we divide the troops again, once we encounter the officers and soldiers, the brothers will not be able to handle it." Several small leaders did not understand Liu Ji's decision.

Liu Ji sighed: "Brothers, we have encountered difficulties this time, and you have also seen that the number of officers and soldiers in front of us is two or three times that of ours, and there are more people entering the mountains from the east than this. Huihe, not only will we not be able to defend the stronghold, it will be difficult for us to break out of the encirclement!"

All the bandit leaders looked at each other in blank dismay, they all understood this.

"What does the general mean, are you still leading the officers and soldiers around the mountains like before, and then looking for opportunities to strike?" asked a small leader.

These bandits have been entrenched in Mang Mountain for more than twenty years, and they still have a lot of fighting experience.

"But, we can take this group of officers and soldiers to drill into the forest, but what about the officers and soldiers in the east?"

"Yeah, if we divide our troops to deal with the officers and soldiers in the east, aren't we enough?"

"Yeah, damn officers and soldiers, why are there so many people here this time?"

The bandits started talking and cursing.

"That's why I said that we are in big trouble this time. It seems that the officers and soldiers have invested a lot of money this time. Brothers are going to work hard this time." Liu Ji said to the little bosses around him.

"However, as long as you fight this once, no officers and soldiers will dare to come to us again. Brothers, how have you been with Liu Ji these years? Do you dare to fight this time?"

Liu Ji has been the bandit leader for more than [-] years, and he still has leadership skills and the ability to deceive people.

"General, under your leadership these years, we have indeed lived a good life. Everyone is grateful to the general! Since the officers and soldiers are forcing us to die, we will fight them!"

'yes!They are all men who lick blood at the edge of their swords, how can they be afraid of these dog officers and soldiers?Fight! '

"When I went up the mountain, I didn't expect to live for so long. These years are worth it! General, what do you think you will do?"

"Yes, general, what do you think we should do with the officers and soldiers?"

Seeing that the morale of the little bosses under his command had been raised, Liu Ji began to arrange tactics.

"The officers and soldiers in the east can't threaten our stronghold for the time being. Wang San still has a hundred people in the east, and they will lead the officers and soldiers around. We must deal with the officers and soldiers in front of us as soon as possible, and we cannot let them come with the east. The officers and soldiers will meet, otherwise we will be in big trouble."

'Listen to the general! The bandits are not stupid, they know that once the two groups of officers and soldiers are encircled, they will be unable to fly!

"The distance between the front and back of this mountain stream is not long, so many of us can't use it here, and it's easy to be exposed. I think it's good to leave 200 people to continue ambush, and the rest follow me behind the officers and soldiers."

"The general is going to attack the camp of officers and soldiers?"

"Yes, there are many officers and soldiers, we can only kill a few more outside the forest, otherwise, it will be very difficult for us to get rid of the encirclement and suppression of officers and soldiers this time."

"After I lead people to attack the officers and soldiers camp, I will withdraw to the northwest and lead some officers and soldiers to the Tiger Cliff. The brothers who stay here will continue to ambush the officers and soldiers tomorrow, and then go to the Tiger Cliff."

"General, what if all the officers and soldiers go after the general? The brothers who stayed here are waiting in vain."

"No, there are many officers and soldiers. They will definitely continue to divide their troops and march towards the center of Mang Mountain while chasing me. They must want to find our cottage as soon as possible."

After the bandits made their arrangements, the sky quickly darkened.

"Young master, the bandits have divided up their forces, and they probably want to go around and attack behind us?" Lu Xun reported to Cao Chong.

"It's still estimated, it must be! Can you keep an eye on the bandits who divide the troops?"

"No, we are not as familiar with the mountains and forests as the bandits. They still escape from behind the mountain stream."

"That is to say, we don't know when and from which direction the bandits will attack us?"

"Young master, don't worry. Although I don't know the specific actions of the bandits, but just a few hundred bandits want to attack our camp? They are looking for death. I will arrange more secret guards around the camp. You can rest in peace tonight, young master. Don't worry about bandits attacking the camp."

"There are so many of us, and we have been prepared for a long time. I'm not worried. I'm afraid that Xia Houba and the bandits will run into each other."

Lu Xun was taken aback: "It can't be so unlucky, can it?"

"Even if we bump into each other, Xiahouba can still get rid of the enemy, it just ruined the young master's scheme, so don't worry, young master." Lu Xun continued.

"That's right! Then you and I will take turns on duty tonight?"

"Young master, feel free to rest, as long as Lu Xun is alone in the barracks."

"Lu Xun, this time we will probably have to drill in the mountains and forests for a few more days. You are the coach, but you have to keep your energy. We'd better take turns on night duty." Cao Chong said sternly.
