White Bear Ridge was originally a small mountain near Zhuo County.
This was because a villager had once seen a giant bear covered in white fur when he was chopping wood on the mountain. It was immediately shocking.
That was how White Bear Ridge got its name.
White Bear Ridge wasn't very high above sea level, but the terrain was very steep. It was surrounded by undulating rocks, and the road was very difficult to walk on.
Two years ago, a group of bandits came here and occupied this place because of its easy to defend and difficult to attack terrain. They fought against the local Zhuo County government army.
Later on, Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju rebelled, and the entire Ji, You, and Bing provinces were in chaos. The government had no time to deal with these bandits.
Slowly, as time passed, these bandits took root in White Bear Ridge and gradually expanded their influence.
At this point, it was basically difficult for the local government army to eliminate them.
And the county magistrate of Zhuo County had secretly colluded with the bandits and brought disaster to the village. Everyone dared to be angry but did not dare to say anything.
On the day of receiving food,
Early in the morning, Su Yan and Dian Wei brought the three hundred men to the vicinity of White Bear Ridge.
Su Yan had chosen this place to ambush them about ten miles away.
The reason why he chose this place was because it was the only way to Zhuo County.
The terrain here was relatively empty, with a wide open plain area that was conducive to the charge of a large number of people.
On the left side of the road, there was a hill with dense forest, which was good for hiding people.
Of course, this was not the best ambush spot.
There was no depth, and there was no good geographical advantage.
However, Su Yan had chosen this place.
A few days ago, he had already observed the surrounding terrain and was basically clear about the surrounding situation.
After coming down from White Bear Ridge, there were several routes to Zhuo County, but he was not satisfied with any of them.
Some of the roads were too narrow, making it difficult for the soldiers to fight in a unified formation. Some of the roads were too wide and there was no place to hide the army.
In addition, they were close to Zhuo County. The nearby land had been reclaimed by Su Yan as farmland.
If a war broke out, the farmland would be destroyed, and the grain harvest would be reduced. At that time, the gains would not make up for the losses.
Therefore, Su Yan chose this place in the end.
This place was a bit far from White Bear Ridge and Zhuo County.
Moreover, there was a dense forest where people could hide. It was the most ideal place.
In the forest, Su Yan and Dian Wei sat quietly without making a sound.
He had already sent people to take out the 1,000 dans of grain stored in the treasury and use them as bait to transport them over.
Therefore, he believed that the bandits of White Bear Ridge would definitely come here.
"My lord, we've been waiting for half a day. Do you think the bandits will come down?”
Dian Wei had a rather impatient personality. As time passed, he could not help but ask Su Yan.
"Don't worry, I've already sent a letter to the county magistrate. For this batch of grain, he will definitely inform the bandits to come and rob them.”
Su Yan closed his eyes and said faintly.
Dian Wei had no choice but to continue waiting.
Su Yan opened his eyes and looked at him. He smiled and said,"What, you can't sit still anymore?"
"No! If the lord can sit still, then of course I can too! I'm just afraid that if we wait for half a day and those people don't come in the end, then our efforts will be in vain.”
Dian Wei scratched his head and smiled.
"Just wait patiently. I think it should be soon.”
Su Yan looked in the direction of the distant White Bear Ridge and calmly said.
“窸窸!窣窣!”
Suddenly, a series of footsteps came from the front.
A scout ran over excitedly and reported,""Sir, the bandits from White Bear Ridge have already left the mountain. They are less than six miles away from us.”
"Good! Pass on my order, prepare to attack!”
Su Yan's eyes flashed as he spoke in a deep voice.
"Here!"
The scouts left to relay the order, and the army began to prepare.
"Dian Wei, when the fight starts, you watch the boss of the bandits and kill him first!”
Su Yan looked at Dian Wei and said.
He understood the principle of capturing the leader first.
He knew that once the battle started, people would definitely die, even if the opponents were just a group of untrained bandits.
These 300 people were all elites, so they would try their best not to lose them.
Although the Zou family had lent them to him, Su Yan had no intention of returning them to the Zou family.
These people would become his future team, so he would never let them sacrifice themselves meaninglessly.
"Don't worry, my lord. Leave it to me!”
Dian Wei grinned and patted his chest.
Suddenly, he thought of something and quickly said,""No, my lord. If I go and kill their leader, who will protect you? Nothing can happen to you!"
"Don't worry, it's not like you don't know my martial arts. Do you think they can take me down?”
Su Yan smiled and said.
"Just complete your mission, understand?”
"Understood."
Dian Wei nodded.
Time slowly passed, and everyone waited quietly.
All three hundred of them were elite soldiers who had experienced a real battlefield. Therefore, even in an uncomfortable environment, none of them were agitated. Instead, they were even calmer.
"They're here, Milord. They're less than two li away from us.”
The scout ran back and reported.
Su Yan looked around. With his extraordinary eyesight, he saw a large group of people rushing over from the official road in the distance.
Wait, he could see so far?
Su Yan suddenly realized that his eyesight was actually so good?
"It seems that the effect of the Marrow Cleansing Pill is really powerful. It even strengthened my vision.”
Su Yan thought to himself. He turned around and saw the bows and arrows in the hands of the soldiers beside him. A thought surfaced in his heart.
