The result this time was even more terrifying than last time. As soon as they arrived at the boundary of Dongshan Mansion, they were besieged and lost a lot of people before they escaped.
After losing two people, they finally did not dare to fight again, so some people defected to other forces. The leader of the bandit army did not want to be subordinate to others, so he did not defect to other forces and continued to lead people who were willing to follow him everywhere. Find a place to stay.
After once again defeating the bandit attack, everyone in Dongshan Mansion became more confident in defending their territory.
Linlang also formulated a strategy with everyone - they would not take the initiative to attack people, but if someone attacked them, they would fight back and take over the enemy's territory.
After all, if someone attacks them and they fight back and win, but they don't take over the enemy's territory, do they let that territory go to others in vain?
And this is also in line with everyone's thoughts, because at this moment, everyone has not thought about taking the initiative to hit others. After all, we were still ordinary people before. We didn't have much ambition. We just wanted to have our own place and be safe in troubled times. , they were satisfied. They didn’t want to conquer the world. Many of them just wanted to wait for the Mingjun to appear and they could join him.
But in troubled times, there is no telling how many wise kings there are.
Anyway, in several prefectures near Dongshan Prefecture, the occupiers, according to the information Linlang asked people to inquire about, in some places, the people who occupy them are indeed somewhat capable, but what they do cannot be called a wise king at all; in some places, people are still That's true, but if you don't have the ability, it's absolutely impossible to make it to the end; in other places, you have neither the ability nor the character, which is even worse.
Therefore, among the people around, there was no one whom Linlang felt she could rely on.
Fortunately, the people in each village still have the mentality of ordinary people in the countryside for the time being. They don't have much ambition. They only care that Dongshan Mansion is not attacked. They don't care about the people around them and whether there is anyone they can take refuge with. No one is clamoring for her to take refuge. Let Linlang feel relaxed.
But just because they don't hit others doesn't mean others won't hit them.
And the person most likely to cause trouble for Dongshan Mansion is the person who has neither ability nor character.
Since this person has no character and no ability, he naturally cannot see how powerful Dongshan Mansion is. When he heard that Dongshan Mansion was headed by a woman, he felt that he was easy to bully and wanted to snatch Dongshan Mansion to expand his territory.
This person has occupied two cities. The reason why he still occupied two cities because he has no ability is because he has good martial arts. He also picked a lot of passing refugees and joined the team with strong bodies. Only two cities were occupied by force.
Because I feel that I am powerful, I naturally feel that Dongshan Mansion is easy to fight.
Because I felt that Dongshan Prefecture was easy to fight, I sent people to check out the situation in Dongshan Prefecture many times, and after confirming that Dongshan Prefecture was headed by a woman, I prepared to attack Dongshan Prefecture.
What they didn't know was that after they made this decision, Linlang's side received the news, because Linlang had been sending people to monitor the situation there, and the people there were not prepared to attack Dongshan Mansion. During the discussion, , did not pay attention to keeping secrets, probably because they were confident that they could defeat Linlang, so they did not intend to keep it secret, so the people from Linlang's faction got the news as soon as possible, and immediately told Linlang the news.
When Linlang heard that there was an enemy attack, he immediately told Village Chief Li and others.
Village Chief Li was not very afraid of an enemy attack. During this period, he also saw the preparations Linlang had made. With the help of refugees and nearby villagers, three-dimensional defense fortifications were built outside Dongshan Prefecture. If the enemy wanted to attack Coming here is not easy.
In addition, Linlang also gathered all the blacksmiths in Dongshan Mansion to build more bows and arrows, and even trebuchets. If the enemy came, he would ensure that they would not come back.
Why did Linlang know how to make a trebuchet... It must have been taught by the old god. There is nothing strange about it.
Linlang saw that she had taken out the drawings of the trebuchet and made the trebuchet artificial. No one was surprised at all. She couldn't help but sigh. Fortunately, the excuse she made at the beginning was that an old god taught her martial arts. Now, no one doubts why she did it. It's really convenient to build a trebuchet.
But soon, the leader of the rebel army next door began to come with a large group of troops to attack Dongshan Mansion.
This man heard about the fall of Dongshan Mansion and was afraid that his base camp would be stolen by Linlang like Dongshan Mansion. Therefore, after leaving, he left many people to look after the house, and then he came with many people. Fight Linlang.
He occupied the territory of two mansions, so he naturally had more manpower. He brought about 10,000 people and horses.
But as soon as they entered Dongshan Mansion, they were harassed by patrol teams from various villages.
As early as Linlang knew that the enemy was about to enter the country, he notified the villages to quickly hide in the tunnels if there was any sign of trouble. Then he asked the patrol teams of each village, plus the patrol teams used by Fucheng for daily patrols, to harass the enemies.
Anyway, this group of people has no archers or cavalry - only a few leaders of the rebel army ride horses - when they harass them, the enemy can neither attack them from a distance nor chase them with cavalry. They only need to harass them, Using the familiar terrain and agility to escape quickly will not be a problem and there will be no danger.
In fact, this is exactly the case.
The patrols sent to harass were different from the group of people they used to deal with with their big swords, Nagamukura. Now they are more proficient in bows and arrows, so they all use bows and arrows to deal with them. This way of long-range attack is both safer and more lethal. , kill a wave and run away, those people can't react at all.
Just as Linlang thought, the patrol used bows and arrows to harass, and the efficiency was extremely high. A small team of about ten people shot at a large group of enemies at least, killing at least one, and then killing several others, and then the other party panicked. Get up, push and step on each other, and there will be some casualties.
Although the casualties caused by the stampede became less as they got used to it, there were still many casualties at the beginning.
When they found someone harassing them, the enemy naturally became angry and sent people to catch up with them every time, but they could not catch up. On the contrary, a small number of people caught up and were fired upon by the patrol team with another volley, causing secondary casualties.
Later, the enemy even sent out the few cavalry in the team to pursue them. These people were the personal soldiers of the leader of the rebel army. But after these people chased them, at most no one dared to kill them, but they still failed to catch up, so their efforts were in vain.
One time, we even encountered complex terrain and were fired upon by the opponent, causing injuries to some cavalrymen. The enemy no longer dared to send cavalry to search for fear of losing the few cavalrymen.
The inability to fight back soon made this group of enemies lose their will to fight. They went from being high-spirited when they first arrived to being frightened. They kept watching the surrounding situation vigilantly, for fear that they would be killed by a volley of fire. .
The leader of the rebel army saw that his men's morale had become like this before they reached their destination, and he felt an ominous premonition in his heart. He felt that something bad would happen if he sent troops this time.
