Look at the mountains and rivers I have drawn

Chapter 114 Encirclement and suppression
The cottage can only go down the mountain by the road before the mountain gate, and this road is also difficult to walk, easy to defend but difficult to attack.

The officers and soldiers did not attack the cottage, but set many traps in the only way out.

"My lord, it's already the fifth day, why haven't you attacked?" Sui Wutian asked, and the He County mansion sent letters asking about the situation of the attack.

"No rush, at most tomorrow, this battle will be over."

Ye Yan has been asking people to go to the mountain to intercept the river these days. The location of Liushan and the bandits is not the top of the mountain. The top of the mountain can only be climbed on the other side of the mountain. The reason why it took so long is to let some strong officers and soldiers Climbing the mountain, cutting off the flow and diverting the route, counting the time, it should have been completed by now, and we will be back soon.

"Wutian, are the traps in front of the mountain ready? Are there any complaints in the army?" Ye Yan sat in front of the tent, wiping the soft sword in his hand.

"All the traps have been set up according to the young master's instructions. There is no complaint in the army, it's just that there is no sky, but the morale of the army is a little low."

"It doesn't matter, even if you bring a group of civilians with you, you can still win this battle."

A cold snort came from outside the tent. It was Sun Tan, the commander of a hundred people at the same level as Wu Yang. In his view, fighting is all about rushing and killing on the battlefield.

"Sun Tan, come in." Ye Yan shouted.

I haven't done anything else in the past few days, but I almost recognize this person.

"What do you think is the most important thing in a war? Is it fighting on the battlefield? Or are there countless dead?"

The soul asked three times, and Sun Tan was directly confused by the question, and looked at Ye Yan at a loss for a while.

"In war, courage is all you need! A good man will return to his body wrapped in horse leather, and the dead will be afraid of him!" Sun Tan said.

Ye Yan shook his head, stared at Sun Tan with his glasses, and said, "You are just a commander of a hundred people. Naturally, what you need to do is to charge and kill on the battlefield, but what about thousands of people, or ten thousand people? During the national war, do you let the two armies directly fight against each other?" rush ahead?"

"Naturally, a battle formation is set up, and the two sides rush to fight in the battle formation."

"If you know how to charge and kill, why can't you surrender without fighting?"

Sun Tan scratched his head, he really never thought of this, why he can win without fighting, shouldn't a soldier fight to the death and never surrender.

He has never experienced a big war in his life. At most, he has fought against these bandits. But although there were casualties, he was victorious every time. Now that his side has three times the strength, why not attack directly, even though there will be casualties? , but aren’t these things that should be experienced?

"Then when and when will we go to war, we only have 300 people, what kind of battle formation will we form?"

"You don't need to do anything, just wait in front of Chen Bingshan tomorrow."

This time when Ye Yan came out to fight, Sui Heju gave a lot of food and grass, even if it took half a month here, it would be no problem, but these bandits on the mountain are different, their food should be almost exhausted recently, and now they have cut it off Water source, it won't be long before they will take the initiative to go down the mountain, and when the time comes, they will all be wiped out in one go. Ye Yan has no sympathy for these murderous thieves, and he doesn't need to.

"My lord, although I didn't understand, I think what your lord said makes sense. We are all a bunch of common people who only know how to obey orders." Sun Tan walked out of the tent with a smile.

Sui Wutian looked at Ye Yan, he was amazing, just a few simple words, and let Sun Tan obediently go out to pack up his soldiers.

"Wutian, it is said that you should have learned the art of war formation well, why didn't you see what I was going to do?"

"My lord, your thoughts are unconstrained and weird. I can only see a general idea. How can I know your real thoughts."

Ye Yan casually threw a few military books to Sui Wutian, and let him read them carefully. This is the summary of his research on Sun Tzu's military books and other military books. Since Han Xin possessed his body, all the knowledge he had learned has become a This vivid and vivid example can be applied flexibly.

The sergeants in the barracks kept patrolling, monitoring the movements of the bandits in the mountains.

The thieves on the mountain also sneaked down the mountain. Watching the movement of the barracks nearby, they found that the barracks were not well-arranged. Report the situation to your boss.

"Brothers! These officers and soldiers cut off water and food for us. This is the rhythm that will kill us. Now the secret sentry is reporting, and the officers and soldiers at the foot of the mountain are lax. It is a good time for us to attack!"

So, they cooked sheep and slaughtered cattle in the stockade, and had a very sumptuous meal. Next, more than a hundred people sneaked down the mountain road in the dark. The mountain road on one side is not accessible to ordinary people, only those who are good at mountain roads Walk through it alive.

Ye Yan walked out of the barracks and looked at the sky. It was almost time, so he summoned three commanders and asked them to gather all the officers and soldiers and display them in the barracks.

All the officers and soldiers didn't know why they had to fight in the middle of the night, but they were all veterans who had followed the commander for many years. Although they were dissatisfied, they still obeyed.

Originally they thought that today was still a peaceful day, and even some officers and soldiers fell asleep standing up, standing quietly together without speaking.

At this moment, shouts came from the front, and all the officers and soldiers suddenly woke up and stood ready.

"Come in!" Ye Yan ordered.

"Go in!" The three commanders shouted loudly, and a hundred people shouted in unison. Everyone held their shields and marched forward step by step.

The voice reached the ears of the robbers. They had lost some people because of the trap, but now they found that everything was prepared on the other side, waiting for them to charge. Falling into the trap, there was a scream.

This is called a major event, although it is dark at night, but everyone is a good player at night, so they can clearly see that their own masters have been killed, and they even gave a fart!

run back?There is no water in the mountains, and rushing back is a dead end. A group of bandits yelled and rushed forward, making a mess.

The night vision of the officers and soldiers was not as good as that of the bandits, but the battle formation was neat, and the chaotic bandits all bumped into the shields, and their spears were thrust out from between the shields. Immediately, the bandits were killed and wounded countless people. In just a quarter of an hour, more than a hundred bandits were killed. die.

The three commanders came to the front of Ye Yan's tent.

"The minister waits to meet the Bandit Suppression Envoy!"

"What's the matter? Come in." Ye Yan was sitting in the tent, holding a book in his hand, reading by an oil lamp.

"I will admit that I am a man!" The three of them bowed at the same time.

In this battle, none of their officers and soldiers died, only a few people suffered some minor injuries, and they also captured their second leader.

"If you know your mistakes, you can correct them. There is nothing good about it. In the future, you must use your brains more when fighting, and don't just rely on brute force. That will not be good for you or your own soldiers. But you are only a leader of a hundred people. As long as you can follow your The command of the commander is enough, the commander, the commander's army, is like a pointer, the general, the ruler of the army's battle formation, the soldier, the man of a hundred battles! As long as they perform their duties, there is nothing to be afraid of."

"Taught! The villain is willing to follow the adult." Sun Tan half-kneeled.

Ye Yan's eyes lit up: "We'll talk about this matter when we go back."
