Chapter 4: Plan to Exterminate Bandits

  "What's the rush? Where are we rushing to? The locals around here aren't even that wealthy?" Dong Yong still couldn't understand. You see, Du Qi's troops were guarding Shenyang, while Lu Lin's unit was stationed at Nan Daying in Shenyang.

  "Who said we're going to rob the common people?" Lu Lin was knocked on the head by Dong Yong.

  "Whoever dares to rob the common people, I'll kill him." Lu Lin looked at his trusted aide and couldn't help but give him an early warning.

  "Oh, I see." Dong Yong heard this and remained silent.

  "Who are they preparing to rob?" Yu Min heard that it wasn't the ordinary people, and his heart felt a lot more at ease. After all, they were all from peasant backgrounds, who would want to see their fellow villagers being robbed?

  "Is there a band of about five hundred outlaws in that mountain across from us?" Lu Lin asked, pointing at the mountain.

  "Yes, I'm clear about that." Dong Yong heard Lian Zhang's intention to suppress the bandits and suddenly came up with a plan. "However, although there are only 500 people in front of us, they have more than 400 guns and even a small cannon. The firepower is very strong, and there are also two groups of local bandits supporting each other nearby. The total number of people is approximately over 1,300."

  "Commander Lian, this bandit is not easy to eliminate. You should know that the battalion commanders don't have the guts to do it." Yu Min saw Lu Lin was out of his mind and wanted to go to the other side to eliminate the bandits, so he couldn't help but persuade him.

  To know that the entire brigade of over 2,000 armed men, the brigade commander did not have the guts to suppress.

  "Oh? Then why didn't Lu Chang also take it?" Lu Lin asked curiously.

  "Moreover, I heard that the deputy commander has a crush on Wang Damaizi's sister, Wang Niangzi, so although these bandits are burning and killing everywhere, the brigade hasn't dispatched a large force to surround and annihilate them." Dong Yong continued talking. This made Lu Lin slightly surprised, who says honest people aren't gossipy? They're even more gossipy than normal people!

  "Oh, I see. It seems that eating alone is quite difficult?" Lu Lin said with a headache, although the reward was very perverted, but there were no skill assists in the early stages.

  "Commander Lian, you're not thinking of having our regiment alone wipe out the bandits, are you? That's impossible!" Yu Min said with an expression of impossibility.

  "Ah, it's impossible to wipe out the entire chain, I only calculated one row and my guard class," Lu Lin said before leaving with Wei Dagu.

  Leaving Dong Yong and Yu Min stunned.

  Divider line

  "Commander Lian, you really want to suppress the bandits?" Wei Dagu suddenly asked, who had been following closely behind Lu Lin.

  "Exactly! What's the point of being a soldier if you don't eliminate bandits?" Lu Lin said with a righteous expression.

  "Wei Daguang is a rough man and doesn't know anything else. However, if Zhang is worried about not having enough manpower, Wei Daguang suddenly said he has an idea."

  "Oh? What's your good idea?" Although Wei Dagu couldn't read, Lu Lin didn't look down on him either.

  After all, in his opinion, as long as one is a person with normal intelligence, it's possible to come up with very suitable suggestions. This experience has been proven time and again when he plays League of Legends. The power of collective wisdom!

  "My village in a big country is just at the foot of Mangshan Mountain, often bullied by bandits, and my family has no money to eat, so I came out to be a soldier. There are many villages like mine nearby. There are about 7,000 or 8,000 people." Wei Daguang said, gesturing with his hands, afraid that he might not express himself clearly.

  Lu Lin's eyes lit up instantly when he heard this.

  Later generations may be addicted to playing games, but the people's war of a certain great man has been instilled with such ideas since junior high school.

  "Go on," Lu Lin encouraged Wei Da Guo.

  "I was thinking, there are over two thousand young and strong men like me, plus some landlords. If we can persuade them, maybe the silver will be settled." Wei Dagu said with a red face. This is probably the first time in his life that someone has listened to him seriously.

  Moreover, this person is also his superior and team leader.

  "Good! Very good! You're really a great talent, Big Country!" Lu Lin couldn't help but secretly applaud after hearing this.

  "You go back, return to your village and check the situation, let your brother move around and see if there are any who are willing to follow me to eliminate the bandits. After the matter is successful, everyone will be rewarded. However, on this trip, you must first pay attention to your own safety." Lu Lin said repeatedly.

  "Yes, General! A great nation will surely complete its mission at all costs!" Wei Da Guo saluted excitedly.

  "Don't die, you still have to follow Ben Lian to eat and drink spicy food, and in the future, you'll get married and have children." Lu Lin looked at this silly subordinate, and his mood improved a lot.

  "Alright, be careful and try not to get discovered by others." Lu Lin patted him lightly on the shoulder.

  After seeing Wei Dagu leave, Lu Lin's mind began to ponder again.

  If Wei Da Guo can recruit a group of people this time, there will probably be several hundred people, and he will also have a lot of confidence. However, the bandits on this mountain are as many as 500.

  There were only over 50 people who could use their own hands, a difference of ten times.

  The Art of War says: "Surround them if you have ten times the strength." Moreover, the bandits are defending their stronghold and occupying the geographical advantage. The number of defenders is ten times that of the attackers, so a hard fight is definitely not feasible. In this case, there's only one option left - to lure the snake out of its hole.

  And must be annihilated and divided.

  Thinking of this, Lu Lin had an idea in his heart.

  When I returned to my room, I saw an octopus waiting for me with a somewhat happy expression.

  "Leader, there is a note on top of the document."

  "Oh, what's that?" Lu Lin took the tea handed over by the octopus and took a light sip. It was quite fragrant. He didn't expect this octopus to make such good tea. As it happens, Lu Lin doesn't smoke much when playing games, but he does drink a lot of wine and tea. So his ability to taste tea and wine is still pretty good.

  "Telegram to Third Company Commander Lu Lin, the reported plan is very good. If the effect is not bad, the battalion will follow suit. However, the reward amount is too large and the battalion cannot provide all of it. But the battalion will provide two machine guns, twenty rifles, and 500 rounds of ammunition." Octopus read with some excitement.

  "Is it gone?" Lu Lin asked with some disappointment.

  "It's gone, it's already very good, the key is that this batch of equipment will be allocated tomorrow." The octopus saw that Lian Chang still had an unhappy expression and couldn't help but ask in surprise.

  "Where's the money I want? Big Ocean!" Lu Lin had an urge to look up at the sky and let out a long sigh.

  What I lack most! Lack of money!

  With money comes guns and cannons!

  With guns and cannons comes wealth!

  This is a virtuous circle!

  "Amazing, the battalion is being quite generous this time! I've been here for so long and have never seen them give out so much. I wonder what's going on, they're usually not so willing to part with their resources." Octopus said in puzzlement.

  "Ah." Lu Lin sighed, he naturally knew why this time the top was so generous. Probably because of his other identity.

  "Something is better than nothing. Having some equipment at least puts one's mind at ease." Lu Lin said with a hint of helplessness as he looked at the excited octopus.

  "Right, Lian Chang, isn't the Great Country supposed to be protecting you? Where did he go?" Octopus asked strangely as he saw that Wei Da Guo hadn't returned with them.

  "He went to carry out his mission." Lu Lin didn't distrust Octopus, but some things were better known by fewer people.

  "Then I'll let the class monitor call someone else over," said the Octopus.

  "No need, just stay by my side. They still have to intensify their training and there are other tasks to be done." Lu Lin shook his head, having been in this company for less than a month, he had not yet grasped the situation of the company, and the stronger his direct forces were, the more secure he would be.

  "By the way, do you know where Lian Zhang and Er Lian usually are when they're not on duty?" Lu Lin suddenly asked.
