Even if these last few dead seeds can't stop the Zhao family, they can also consume the power of the Zhao family, so that they can not only warn in advance, but also take a good time to give the greedy Zhao family a hard lesson!

The more senior the powerful warrior, the smarter he is, and as soon as the lord's order is reached, these leading soldiers and retainers naturally understand what is going on, and they start to act in understanding.

Those concubines of the Ling family ran all the way to their favorite territory directly under the jurisdiction of the Ling family, and the samurai and a few soldiers who stayed behind naturally couldn't compete with the concubines and their followers, and obediently accepted the ruling rights of the concubines.

These concubines seem to have a heart in their hearts, no one is glued to anyone, all of them are going to each other to occupy an unconnected territory, and it is naturally the city lords of those branches who block them.

After these concubines mastered a territory, they didn't care about spring ploughing or anything, forcibly recruited peasant soldiers, and then led this chaotic and extremely reluctant peasant soldiers to occupy the surrounding territory directly under the jurisdiction of the Ling family.

Those city lords who came back early were still thinking about whether they should be ruthless to the other city lords around them? Or did you directly swallow the Ling family's direct territory? If you are ruthless to other city lords, you can kill your competitors in advance and kill them, and it will definitely be smooth sailing for you in the future.

And swallowing the Ling family's direct domain also has benefits, that is, it is easy to do as you wish, and you can expand your territory without much effort, but if you expand yourself, your competitors will also expand, and it will be difficult to destroy your competitors in the future.

When they were hesitating, a few concubines ran over, and without saying a word, they swallowed the direct jurisdiction at once, so disgusting that these hesitant city lords jumped directly and scolded, but there was no way, even if they were concubines, it was also the blood of the Ling family, and they rightfully owned the ownership of these territories, as long as they didn't want to go out of the Ling family, they couldn't make irresponsible remarks about their disgusting behavior.

They had no choice but to pinch their noses and admit it, and began to think about whether they should wait and see neutrally, or which concubine to go to, and at this moment, the army sent by the four major families who took advantage of the fire and looted rushed over.

In the face of the standing army of the four great families who were like wolves, the territory of the Ling family adjacent to them was swept away almost without difficulty. However, the people who got the news scoffed, and the few concubines who already thought they were the heads of the Ling family jumped to their feet and cursed angrily.

The reason is very simple, the armies of these four families are all bullying the weak and afraid of the hard, and all the troops they swept were the direct territories of the original Ling family, such a territory was just an empty city guarded by only a dozen or twenty people, with nearly a thousand standing troops of the four major families, it was really a problem not to sweep.

It's not that no one expects these four major families to kill the Ling family's direct jurisdiction and eat those branch cities again. After all, persimmons eat soft first, and some city lords of branch cities are already eager to find a certain family to serve.

It's just that what happened next made everyone dumbfounded, the original five families of Dong Shengguo, after the collapse of the Ling family, the reputation of the other four families was also weakened a lot.

The families who were originally afraid of the four major families all began to stir, and some of the guys who originally wanted to serve also began to wait and see.

The reason is very simple, after the four major families swallowed the direct territory of the Ling family, they would naturally target the branches at several links, and it was natural to attack these branches, and the result was dumbfounded, and the standing armies of the four major families all ran into the branches of these four targets.

The battle situation was quickly spread by the spies, and after seeing the battle situation, the forces were stunned. Some nodded abruptly and sighed: "This is a normal battle, right?" ”

No wonder they sighed so much, these four attacked branch cities were all in a critical position and extremely precipitous. The soldiers defending the city are only two or three hundred, which is no different from most of the branch cities in this world, according to the past practice, attacking such a city that does not lack food, water and only people, and wants to rely on siege It is impossible to do it, so it can only be attacked.

The reason why I was so suddenly emotional, it was because the Zhao family had been around since its beginning. Every time it is like a wind and a whirlwind, it kills the enemy, and everyone who pays attention to the Zhao family subconsciously thinks that the battle is so simple and easy.

In particular, the process of the four major families attacking the Ling family's direct jurisdiction was also so brisk. It also made everyone have a misunderstanding. And now, this kind of protracted situation of attacking a small city with a few hundred people is a battle they are familiar with!

Now that he has returned to the familiar battle in this world, the result is naturally predictable, and he can only attack hard. The standing armies of the four major families, which had fought several battles with the wind, suffered enough, and the steep mountain roads and narrow attack passages made the standing armies of the four major families unable to play the role of a large number of people at all, and could only rush up one by one.

What about the troops defending the city? Naturally, it is good to be neat, slow and methodical, and rotate in an orderly way to eliminate them one by one. After several sieges, the standing army suffered two or three percent of casualties, and the morale of the entire army almost collapsed, but it did not even break through the first gate of the city.

I saw that the thousands of standing troops led by myself were hanging one or two hundred people like this. The faces of the samurai who led the team all changed greatly, this is not that the peasant soldiers are not sad when they die, this is a standing army! Each of them has received a monthly salary, and has served the master for many years! How much is it that is folded by 20% like this?!

The information returned to the four major families, and the heads of the four families were not calm, what did an army rely on in these years? These are the standing troops who can become captains after recruiting peasant soldiers! If they die by 20%, the combat effectiveness of the peasant soldiers will definitely drop by half in the future!

Thinking that there were three other families around that had accumulated hatred for many years, and there were a large number of big alliances and other lords outside, no one was willing to spend their elite troops on these small mountain towns with poor mountains. Anyway, he already occupies a large piece of territory, which is enough.

So the four families who have such an idea. Coincidentally, they ordered the recall of troops and sent envoys, hoping to negotiate for these Ling family branches to surrender to themselves.

Haven't there been many small families who have sent letters to express their allegiance? If it weren't for the samurai below who wanted to fight for their exploits, they wouldn't have attacked these branches. Now it's a good thing to let those samurai who have become rebellious soak in cold water, although there are some losses, but in the end, as long as you can get your hands on the castles of these important levels, it can be regarded as more than losing.

It's just that they didn't expect the changeability of people's hearts, as soon as they withdrew their troops, the big and small families who were originally watching immediately became excited, and immediately connected with each other, and always remembered the small forces and big alliances that were against the big forces of Dongsheng Kingdom, so naturally they didn't say a word, and directly sent envoys and caravans to support these four small families with great reputations.

These four families didn't expect that they were just resisting the invasion of the four major families according to the previous methods, how could they suddenly seem to be a sensation in the world? However, as countless messengers poured over and a large amount of supplies were sent, the four of them couldn't control it, as if they had really become the god of war in the world.

Needless to say, the recruitment plan of the four major families will naturally fail, and with the courage of these families who have been connected and the money and food are sufficient, it is natural to attack the territory directly under the jurisdiction of the Ling family occupied by the four major families.

The four major families are very unhappy that the land they just grabbed was snatched away again, but they can't help it, the morale of the standing army is low, and they need to recuperate, and now is the spring ploughing period, they are all focused on the spring ploughing affairs of the original skills, these newly occupied territories, can not get any benefits, under various concerns, they actually did not send troops to recapture it, let these small families take back the territory of the Ling family, and divide it.

The few concubines of the Ling family who were hiding on the side naturally jumped out and shouted when they saw that their subordinates were so bold and reckless in annexing their own territory, but it was a pity that they had been chased away by the four major families like dogs, and they had already thrown the prestige of the Ling family to the bottom, and naturally no one obeyed their orders to give up their territory and hand over the army.

All the families directly ignored their concubines, they concentrated on occupying all the old leaders of the Ling family first, and when they found out that the four major families were taking care of the spring ploughing affairs, they immediately fought for the division of the territory, and suddenly made the old leaders of the Ling family, who were originally quite stable, into a miasma.

Those concubines originally wanted to shout, but they were warned by the impatient family: "It's because I remembered the kindness of the Ling family before that I didn't move you, don't you still don't understand your identity, let us lose all the kindness and righteousness if we can't bear it!" ”

Frightened, they didn't say anything, and obediently shrank on the border territory adjacent to the Zhao family's Lingwu City, watching with jealousy as those original retainers fought over their own land, and at the same time looking at the Zhao family in fear.

They didn't dare to propose to be vigilant against the Zhao family, because the Zhao family's attack gave them a deep shadow, and they also understood that they could still survive, that is, the Zhao family was unwilling to take care of themselves, otherwise, they would have been beheaded as early as when the Zhao family attacked Ling Wu City.

The Zhao family really doesn't have time to deal with these messy things, and the entire Zhao family is busy with spring ploughing matters, which is to train and train the troops. Zhao Hu was already waiting for the end of spring ploughing to lead his troops into Donghai County.
