Linlang and Zhaojiacun's patrol team have fought many broken soldiers who intended to burn, kill, and loot over the years.
Although not everyone of these defeated soldiers has weapons and armor, they definitely have more equipment than the refugees.
Therefore, the people of Zhaojiacun now not only have more money, but also more supplies. Because of the abundance, Linlang not only asked the blacksmith in the village to make a lot of long wooden warehouses and simple knives, but also asked the blacksmith to make some bows and arrows, and usually taught Zhaojiacun People on patrol practice.
Later, Linlang also taught archery to other villagers, and selected the most talented ones to teach them. Therefore, Zhaojia Village had a group of bows and arrows, and then found a group of people in this treasury, and equipped all the people with good archery skills. , and now they gave these rebels who came back to seize the city a head-on attack.
In fact, calling these people the rebels is a bit flattering. In Linlang's view, the rebels are neutral and have a positive meaning. They refer to those who can't survive, start an uprising in order to survive, and then Only those whose behavior is not too excessive, at least not too excessive toward ordinary people, are called rebels.
This group of people not only burned, killed, and looted people in the city, regardless of whether they were rich or poor, but also went to the countryside to rob food. They really do not deserve the title of rebels and should be called bandits.
After being hit head-on and killing dozens of people, those people became afraid and did not dare to step forward.
This is normal. They used to be ordinary people, not regular officers and soldiers. When they attacked this city before, they did not encounter any decent resistance. As a result, they never thought that others would stand on the city wall and shoot them with arrows.
Now, seeing that Linlang and the others have arrows, they don’t know how to attack the city at the moment. After all, they don’t have the siege equipment yet. They just want to do it. They don’t know how to make the siege equipment. After all, they are ordinary people in ancient times. People may know less about siege equipment than some ordinary Internet users in modern times. At any rate, ordinary Internet users in modern times have more or less impressions of siege equipment because they watch TV. They cannot receive this information, so how would they know? How to make siege equipment.
If the war has been going on for a long time, many people have fled everywhere, and they have seen a lot, and may still know it, but this dynasty has not fought a war for two or three hundred years, and the people really have no idea what siege equipment looks like, and they probably only think about it at most. , make a long ladder, build it on the city wall, and then climb up.
But... the other party has a bow and arrow. They always feel that making a ladder to climb up does not seem to work. After all, they will be shot, and who wants to be the one who is shot.
They always felt that there was a better way to attack the city, but they couldn't think of it.
"Otherwise, we should go to Lijia Village first, find all the people in Lijia Village, and use them to threaten the people in the city." Someone suggested.
Someone immediately objected and said: "Okay, don't go. If we are harassed by those people on the road again, more and more of our people will die."
"Why don't we just surround them like this? If we don't let them out, we'll be in trouble if they don't have anything to eat." Someone else suggested.
"We will be the first to fail when the time comes. We went out to attack Lijia Village without bringing food. They are in Fucheng and there is still a little food in the city. They may be able to hold on longer than us."
"We can go to other villages to collect food."
"What if they harass us on the road?"
"There's nothing we can do if we co-write, right?!"
"This city is hard to gnaw down, so let's not gnaw it down. There is chaos everywhere in the world. Let's look for someone else to fight. If we can't find one, we will surrender to others. It's better to fight with these people. If you can't beat them, you will die. A bunch of brothers are strong."
The leader of the bandit army listened to the discussions among his brothers and made the final decision: "Forget it, let's go. Didn't I say that Fucheng going south has not been occupied yet? Just go there. If you can't occupy it, go and occupy it." The counties below it always have a place for us to stay.”
Everyone agreed with the bandit leader's words, mainly because no one wanted to step forward and die.
The opponent has armor, weapons, and bows and arrows, which are better than the equipment of regular officers and soldiers. They really can't beat them, so forget it. There are so many good places for them to fight in the world, why do they have to? It’s hard to fight if you can’t live with yourself.
After Linlang saw that the other party had retreated, he sent someone to follow them from a distance. Seeing that these people had really left and were not pretending to be suspicious, he knew immediately that the matter had been successfully resolved.
After successfully resolving the war, Linlang discussed future plans with the village chiefs and patrol captains.
Village Chief Li said: "The world is in chaos. If we don't want to be bullied, we must become stronger. Otherwise, if this bandit army doesn't attack us today, there will be other bandit armies that will cause trouble for us in the future. So Linlang, Why don't you take us and really capture this city, and then train soldiers from the entire government so that no one dares to attack us."
Linlang said: "The world is in chaos. Just occupying a mansion cannot protect you. Sooner or later, you will be beaten. But if you want to dominate the world, it is a complicated matter. I can't guarantee that I can do it well. "
Linlang didn't want to give everyone too high expectations, lest any trouble in the future would be blamed on her, so she made it clear.
Village Chief Li said: "It's okay, let's do it first. Maybe we can meet Mingjun in the future, and we can go there."
Linlang nodded and said: "That's pretty much it. Okay, I'll just listen to everyone and protect our own home first. We'll talk about the rest later."
Immediately, Linlang arranged for people to post a notice of peace and security in the city. At the same time, he asked people to tell the village where Linlang had taught martial arts and formed a patrol team about the fact that they had captured Fucheng. He said that if anyone was willing, they could come to Fucheng and participate in Fucheng. Patrolling, the kind that pays a salary.
I heard that there was a salary, and soon people from all villages came to participate.
Previously, Linlang invited people from various villages to participate in the operation, but people in some villages were unwilling. Firstly, they had no money to participate in the operation; secondly, they were afraid of casualties, so they were unwilling to come.
Now that Linlang has captured the city, it is much safer to defend the city. And if you still have money to participate in the operation, naturally there will be people willing to come over.
Many of the village patrol teams who participated in the operation with Linlang also stayed. Those who did not stay returned to the village to continue organizing patrol teams and conduct daily patrols.
They have a small number of people and may not be able to withstand a large number of people crossing the border. However, after they discover a large force, they can notify the city to send troops to encircle and suppress it. Anyway, many villages are already building tunnels. When they find a large force passing by, they will be prepared to do harm to them. They could hide underground first and then send someone to report to the city, so there would be no danger.
