327: Chapter 327 Let's do this job!

From the irrepressible joy on the faces of those farmers, Peng Yue knew the significant value of the steam rotary tiller and steam thresher in agricultural production.

"Whether it's the steam rotary tiller or the steam thresher, the selling price isn't low; each one costs at least one gold!"

Zhang Liang, the mastermind, proposed, "If we rob the steam train, we can get a large number of steam rotary tillers and steam threshers."

"Through the black market, even if we offload these steam rotary tillers and steam threshers at half price, we can still make a fortune!"

"The Strategist is absolutely right!"

Peng Yue clapped his hands, extremely satisfied with what Zhang Liang said.

"Strategist, how should we proceed?"

With these words, the operation to attack Great Qin's steam train was decided.

The smirk on Zhang Liang's face grew wider.

He said, "We need the Mohist Disciples to build us a large number of fast, small Sampans."

"We will break into small groups, hide by day and move by night, and use the cover of darkness to evade the Great Qin Lou Chuan Soldiers along the river, heading downstream to enter Kuaiji Commandery."

"We will first gather in the dense forest outside the city of Kuaiji Commandery, and then act in batches."

Zhang Liang began making arrangements.

"Great Qin's steam train continues to run even at night."

"Their carriages are brightly lit, while the surrounding mountains and forests are pitch black."

"This means the enemy is in the light while we are in the dark—the advantage is ours!"

"One group of our men will destroy the railway to force the train to stop."

"I need to select a group of Strongman to attack anyone getting off the train with fist-sized flying stones from fifty paces away."

"Once the enemy pursues us, we will need a team to use a 'Luring the Tiger from the Mountain' tactic to draw them away."

Peng Yue nodded slightly.

Zhang Liang continued, "Great Qin's firearm are powerful, and I cannot guarantee that the soldiers inside the steam train aren't equipped with them."

"Therefore, when we launch the attack, try to stay as spread out as possible; do not bunch up and become sitting ducks."

"Keep your bodies low, and find cover every few steps to shield yourselves."

It had to be said that Zhang Liang had a sharp eye, having found a way to minimize the lethality of firearm as much as possible.

"Once you're close to the carriages, use poisoned Crossbows to shoot the escort personnel inside!"

A ruthless light flickered in Zhang Liang's eyes.

He felt no pity for those who had sided with Great Qin and worked for them.

"After dealing with the escort personnel in the carriages, we will seize the goods as quickly as possible."

"Before the authorities can react, transport the loot to the river, load it onto the Sampans, and flee Kuaiji Commandery at top speed."

Peng Yue listened intently to Zhang Liang's planning.

He felt it was feasible.

There was a lot of risk involved, but if it succeeded, they would make a massive profit.

"Let's do this job!"

Peng Yue's booming voice roared.

"Let's do this job!"

The other Water Bandits all responded loudly.

"Mm."

Zhang Liang said, "I'll immediately send out Scouts to investigate the Louchuan Soldiers operating along the river so that we can avoid them and reach Kuaiji Commandery."

"Good!"

Peng Yue nodded.

He also went to select men according to Zhang Liang's requirements.

He wanted those with good swimming skills, high stamina, and great strength.

While Zhang Liang sent Scouts for intelligence work, he also had the Mohist Disciples build the fast Sampans.

He personally handled the design.
