Chapter 393 The Black Hand Who Controls the Battle Situation

In Taoyuan County, there are many mountains, few rivers and few plains, and the terrain is fragmented.

The county seat of Taoyuan County occupies the largest and only relatively flat land in the county.

Because of this, the Donghai bandits who invaded Taoyuan County were all scattered among the mountains in the county, and they were also scattered and scattered.

Therefore, Liang Zhaohuang's plan to eliminate them is to eliminate them in a fixed-point manner, and wipe out the East China Sea bandits one by one.

With the map of Taoyuan County, the information on the distribution of the East China Sea bandits provided by Fang County Magistrate, and his secret technique of "Sky Eye", Liang Zhaohuang is still confident that he can wipe out these East China Sea bandits one by one.

Early the next morning, Liang Zhaohuang set off with teams from the two counties.

There are more than 300 people in Ludong County, more than 500 people in Taoyuan County, a total of more than 800 people, and 23 foundation monks.

This number is undoubtedly much higher than when Liang Zhaohuang led the Ludong County team to wipe out the East Sea bandits entrenched at the border of Ludong County.

However, in terms of combat power, it is not certain who is stronger and who is weaker.

In Taoyuan County, there are mountains beyond the county seat. According to the "Information Jade Slips" records provided by Fang County Magistrate, Liang Zhaohuang led the team to the nearest Eastern Sea bandit entrenched point.

But when he got nearby, he didn't attack immediately, but chose the highest mountain in the nearby mountains to climb up.

This mountain is full of spiritual peaches, so it is naturally owned by a poor family in a town below the mountain.

However, with the presence of a wealthy family from Zhong County in Taoyuan County, Liang Zhaohuang naturally climbed to the top of the mountain smoothly.

On the top of the mountain, he activated the 'Tianyantong' to observe the surroundings, and quickly determined the situation of the group of Eastern Sea Bandits entrenched nearby.

It is determined that these East China Sea bandits have not noticed the attack by officers and soldiers, and only have abnormal behavior.

Liang Zhaohuang immediately dispatched troops to the top of the mountain, divided the troops from the two counties into four teams, and encircled and suppressed the East Sea bandit settlement from four directions.

There were less than a hundred Donghai Bandits occupying this place, and only two Foundation Establishment cultivators, so they were easily taken down.

And because of the encirclement from all sides, even if these Donghai bandits broke up and fled in all directions, even if the troops from the two counties chased and intercepted them under Liang Zhaohuang's command, none of the Donghai bandits could escape.

Of course, Liang Zhaohuang had already emphasized before the suppression of bandits that this time the suppression of bandits was mainly about captives, supplemented by killing.

He also needs to capture a large number of East China Sea pirates and send them to the "Xuanling Iron Mine" in the Fuyu Mountains to be used as miners' crimes.

With the victory in the first battle, the monks in Ludong County seemed quite happy.

Especially those children from poor families who were recruited by various county tycoons and newly recruited from various families, it is the first time to participate in the suppression of bandits, and they have little experience, so they are inevitably nervous and afraid before the battle.

At this time, after winning the first battle, the courage, confidence, and fighting spirit of these newcomers have gradually been cultivated.

Confidence appeared on every face.

In contrast, the monks in Taoyuan County are much calmer. Although they won the battle, they are not very excited. They still seem a little shy and frightened. Suddenly came out from around.

Seeing this, Liang Zhaohuang couldn't help frowning.

Fang County Magistrate, who had been by his side all the time, explained helplessly at this time: "We organized a team to wipe out the Donghai bandits before, and we fought consecutively at the beginning. We wiped out several strongholds occupied by the Donghai bandits."

"But later on, the situation gradually changed."

When Fang County Magistrate said this, there was even a little fear on his face, and he said in a deep voice:

"In the back, the remaining Donghai bandits in the county gathered together, always avoiding the truth, and constantly attacking our team from all directions, and when we chased and fought back, they always dispersed one step ahead Go, we can't catch them by the tail."

"It's as if there is a black hand behind the scenes, controlling everything, seeing our actions clearly, weakening, besieging, and finally leading us into a trap step by step."

"If I hadn't found something wrong in the end and led the team to retreat in time, otherwise the team that fell into the trap in the end would definitely not be the only team of Lieutenant Wu."

Fang County Magistrate said, carefully glanced at Liang Zhaohuang.

She had been following Liang Zhaohuang's command of the battle just now, so she could see clearly, and felt that it was almost exactly the same as when they were attacked and besieged by the East China Sea bandits.

It's just that this time the two sides are reversed, and the hand that controls everything is on their side.

"Sure enough, when I heard that the new county magistrate of Ludong County led the team to wipe out all the Donghai bandits entrenched on the border of Ludong County, I asked the Zhang family and Ye family of Ludong County about the specific situation of the battle at that time."

"At that time, I deduced that the Liang county magistrate must have the means to control the battlefield situation hundreds of miles away."

"Now it seems that it is so!"

"In this way, even if there is really a black hand behind the Donghai Bandits who controls the battle, we also have the means to fight against it. Even if we can't win, at least we won't be defeated like last time!"

Several thoughts quickly flashed through Fang County Magistrate's mind.

Wealthy families in local counties often marry across counties, or even across counties. The Liang family has in-laws in Taoyuan County, the Hu family, and the Fang family also has marriages in Ludong County, that is, the "Yaochen" Zhang family and the "Lingyefu" Ye family.

Therefore, Fang County Magistrate could easily obtain from the two in-laws, the detailed battle situation when Liang Zhaohuang led the army to wipe out the bandits in the East China Sea.

As for the extermination of the East China Sea bandits, this is something that almost every county is doing.

However, some succeed and some fail.

A successful person like Liang Zhaohuang is naturally famous in the prefecture; while a loser like Fang County Magistrate, although she has deliberately suppressed the spread of the news, it is inevitable that some negative comments will be left in the county guard above.

And in order to smooth out these negative comments, their Fang family will probably need a few more 'longevity peaches' in the future to maintain the county's support for their Fang family.

Magistrate Fang was thinking about it, and Liang Zhaohuang couldn't help raising his eyebrows after hearing Magistrate Fang's explanation.

"Is there a mastermind behind the scenes?"

"Could it be a monk from Liuqi Island?"

"Or, is it the same person?"

Liang Zhaohuang's thoughts turned in his mind, and he looked to the county magistrate Fang and asked, "Magistrate Fang, I don't know yet, when did you send troops to kill the East China Sea bandits?"

"Almost, more than half a year ago." Fang County Magistrate said thoughtfully.

"More than half a year ago!" Liang Zhaohuang recalled, the first time he ran into the Liuqi Island cultivator who was keeping Gu worms at bay was almost two or three months ago, at the border between Ludong County and Luyang County.

As for two or three months ago, whether the cultivator of Liuqi Island, who was responsible for envoys of Gu worms, was active in Ludong County or Taoyuan County, that's not certain.

After all, Taoyuan County is connected to Ludong County, not far away.

Even, the cultivator of Liuqi Island, who was responsible for envoys of Gu worms, opened a cave in the 'Xuanling Iron Mine' of the Fuyu Mountains to raise the plague worms.

The Fuyu Mountains are also not far from the junction of Ludong County and Taoyuan County, and they are connected to many mountains in Taoyuan County.
