The next day, Su Yi went online on time.
Su Yi had arranged all the tasks yesterday, so he had nothing to do at the moment. Feng Sanbao then looked for him and used his identity as his future father-in-law to get Su Yi to lead troops to exterminate the first, second, and third grade bandit villages.
Su Yi had nothing better to do, so he directly transferred 5,000 grade-5 infantrymen and 5,000 grade-5 cavalrymen with Feng Sanbao. Feng Sanbao seemed to be afraid that something would go wrong, so he transferred the only 100 Grade-9 cavalrymen to Su Yi.
Su Yi was clear that Feng San Bao wanted to train his own abilities. He couldn't let the master of a powerful territory be a good-for-nothing.
"Commander Yang, how many bandit camps have we destroyed?”Su Yi asked on the way.
"My lord, our army has already destroyed 15 bandit camps. Among them, there are eight level-one camps, four level-two camps, and three level-three camps.”Yang Yong replied.
"The low-level bandit camps have almost been cleared out. Now, our target is the level four and level five bandit camps.”Su Yi immediately ordered.
Su Yi used one morning to clear out 15 bandit camps, beheading 5,000 people, collecting 30,000 people, and selecting 2,000 people with aptitude B and above to join the army. He did not expect that not a single one of these 30,000 people had reached S grade aptitude, and there were also very few A grade aptitudes.
While attacking the bandit stronghold to increase the population, Su Yi also obtained a lot of food supplies. After all, there were many spoils of war when attacking the bandit stronghold. Moreover, the population had increased, and the consumption had also increased.
……
After finding the Grade 4 bandit stronghold, Su Yi immediately commanded the army to surround it and had people shout for surrender.
The bandit stronghold was built on a small hill. If the two sides had the same strength, they would definitely suffer heavy losses if they wanted to take it down. Fortunately, they were only facing a group of bandits.
"My lord, these bandits refuse to surrender!" A low-level general came up to report the situation.
" Order! All troops, prepare to attack!" Su Yi ordered," Shieldbearers, cover the archers and move forward. Spearmen, follow up. Cavalry, prepare to attack."”
"Yes!"
……
"Release the arrows!" A general commanded two thousand archers to shoot at the bandits hiding behind the wooden wall. Arrows were shot from time to time, but they were no threat to Su Yi's army.
"Attack!" Su Yi ordered. He had ten thousand soldiers and a hundred Grade-9 cavalrymen as his trump card, but he was still unable to take down this bandit stronghold. Su Yi might as well find a piece of tofu and smash his head to commit suicide.
"Shieldbearers, cover!"
Su Yi ordered his men to find a few giant logs. A dozen or so stronger soldiers carried the giant logs together and began to attack the stronghold wall.
The walls of the Grade 4 bandit stronghold were only made of thick wood. The soldiers carried the giant wood and rammed it a few times before it collapsed.
One hundred cavalrymen of the ninth step were the vanguard, and the other soldiers followed closely behind. The battle was over in ten minutes.
He killed 1,000 people and captured 7,000 people.
Su Yi immediately arranged for people to escort the captives and spoils back to Yang Jin.
Prioritize those with lifestyle professions to join the construction of the territory, and then select those with high qualifications from the remaining people to join the army. Of course, these new recruits would also be arranged for training.
After Su Yi took down this Grade 4 bandit stronghold, he immediately marched towards a Grade 3 water stronghold. On the way, he happened to encounter the remaining two Grade 1 and Grade 2 bandit strongholds, so he destroyed them in passing.
Currently, there were only one Grade 3 bandit stronghold and two Grade 4 bandit strongholds left on the north bank of the Spirit River. Su Yi decided to clean up these three water villages.
This was Su Yi's first time attacking the water stockade, so he did not dare to attack directly like he did with the bandit stockade on land. The bandits in the water stockade had boats, and if they could not beat them, they would run. These were all people.
The water bandits 'camp was built on the shore, half on land and half in the water.
Su Yi immediately sent out scouts who were familiar with water to scout the enemy.
"My lord, there are 5,000 people in this level three water stronghold, but there are not many ships. All the ships can carry 3,000 people at most. Moreover, the enemy sentries were not very vigilant.”The scout reported to Su Yi.
"What ships do they have?" Su Yi asked.
"My lord, the enemy has a two-masted sailboat that can carry five hundred people, ten one-masted sailboats that can carry two hundred people each, and some small boats that can carry five hundred people in total.”the scout replied.
Su Yi immediately came up with an attack plan. The first step was to select soldiers who were familiar with the water from the army to seize the ships. Lingchuan County was located in the southern water network area, so there were still many soldiers who knew how to swim.
The second step was for the rest of the soldiers to surround the part of the camp that was built on land. Once the battle to seize the ships began, they would immediately attack.
With Su Yi's order, the operation began. Su Yi selected 1,000 soldiers who were familiar with water to take the lead in the battle. The soldiers on land also started fighting.
The ease of the battle surprised Su Yi. Su Yi thought that it would take some effort to attack the water stronghold without using the navy, but it only took half an hour, and most of the time was spent swimming.
After the battle ended, Su Yi sent someone to inform Deng Xiong to clean up the mess and use the ship to transport the captives and spoils of war back to Ling An Village. At the same time, he ordered Yang Yong to send scouts to scout the situation on the south bank.
At the same time, these ships were also temporarily used as training ships for the navy.
There were still two Level 4 water villages on the north bank, and Su Yi was prepared to take them all down.
"My lord, the situation has been investigated.”The scouts that Su Yi had sent out to scout the enemy had returned.
"What's the specific situation?" Su Yi asked.
"My lord, the enemy's walls are made of wood and are relatively sturdy. We can use ramming wood to hit them. There were ten archer towers in the camp. The enemy had five two-masted ships, twenty one-masted ships, and some small boats that could carry six thousand people at once.”The scout reported the situation he had scouted.
A Grade 4 bandit stronghold was twice as strong as a Grade 3 bandit stronghold. Su Yi could easily take it down with the soldiers and horses in his hands. Su Yi was thinking about how to exchange the smallest loss for the greatest gain.
Su Yi decided to use the old method. First, he would send soldiers to seize the ships and attract the enemy's attention. Then, he would attack from the land. At the same time, he would let Deng Xiong lead a temporary fleet of newly captured ships to intercept the fleeing enemy on the river.
Su Yi immediately sent people to prepare to attack!
Although there were two King level generals, Yang Yong and Deng Xuan, in the team, Su Yi did not ask for their opinions and made his own decision. He needed to train. It was easy for him to attack a Grade 4 bandit stronghold with the army he had. Su Yi just wanted to see how much he could reduce his losses and how much he could gain.
"My lord, Governor Deng is already in position!”The messenger reported to Su Yi.
"Give the order to attack!" Su Yi immediately ordered.
"Yes!"
Su Yi gave the order, and the entire army immediately took action. The battle was about to start, and the vanguard team had already begun to fight for the ship. The enemy's attention was attracted by the battle and they sent reinforcements. A hole appeared in the defense of the camp on the shore, and Su Yi immediately ordered a general attack.
Su Yi's army was like a hot knife through butter. Those who resisted were beheaded. The battle ended very quickly. It turned out that the enemy had been intimidated by the bravery of Su Yi's army. As the soldiers shouted the slogan of surrender, the bandits knelt down and surrendered.
In this battle, Deng Xiong's arrangement was just a decoration. In the end, he became the captain of the transport team, transporting the people and spoils of war back to the village.
The last Level 4 water stronghold was also taken down by Su Yi using the same method. Su Yi harvested 8,000 people.
After wiping out all the bandit camps below Grade 4 on the north bank, Su Yi had gained 65,000 people and 5,000 more soldiers. However, their grades were too low.
Su Yi originally wanted to attack the Level 5 bandit villages, but he did not expect Feng Sanbao to have already conquered two Level 5 bandit villages and one Level 6 bandit village, leaving only the bandit villages below Level 4 for Su Yi to practice. Feng Sanbao had already led his team to gather the scattered soldiers.
Feng Sanbao had gained 35,000 people from attacking the bandit stronghold, increasing the number of soldiers by 10,000.
Right now, Su Yi's army had already reached a total of 130,000 people.
Right now, Su Yi's territory only had 80,000 people, and his army already had 130,000. This was simply a typical example of militarism.
However, Su Yi was clear that he needed powerful strength now. Moreover, he did not lack food at the moment. The food they had harvested from these few days of fighting was enough to feed 300,000 people for more than a month. Right now, Su Yi did not have 300,000 people, and there were only 220,000 civilians and soldiers in the territory.
The bandit camps around Ling An Village on the north bank of the Spirit River had already been wiped out. They would respawn again in seven days. Although the bandit camps had leveled up, Su Yi was not worried at all. This was clearly the system sending him people.
Su Yi led the army back to Ling An Village, and at the same time, he sent out 1,000 grade-5 soldiers to support the bandits in Linggang Village and Beiyu Village.
Ling An Village was built with a gold village creation token, and the highest level of bandit villages that appeared now was level six. Lingang Village was built with a silver village creation token, and the highest level of bandit villages that appeared was level five. Northern Feather Village was built with a Bronze Village Creation Token. The highest level of bandit villages that appeared was Level 4.
The reinforcements that Su Yi had sent out were enough. He still had eight thousand people to guard the village against the attacks of the Outsiders.
Su Yi had already sent out scouts to scout the situation on the south bank, and the soldiers in his hands were ready to land on the south bank at any time.
