Chapter 36: Preparing for the Siege
After knowing that the young marshal had arrived, the two village owners also rushed down.
"Young marshal, there are these twenty-five elites, which are enough to fight against a hundred mountain bandits, but I don't know how many people Phoenix Mountain will send over." Seeing his old subordinates, Squadron Yang's face was immediately filled with joy.
The lord of the Wang village also said: "It is estimated that Phoenix Mountain will send a maximum of 200 people over, plus dozens of sword soldiers even if they can't defeat them, they can still hold the cottage." ”
There is Leitou Mountain on the top, and it is not easy for the bandits of Phoenix Mountain to attack the two cottages in the north and south. But waiting for others to attack is not Wu Gang's style.
"It will also take time to come from Phoenix Mountain, tomorrow morning your soldiers will divide into two ways to knock down the two small cottages nearby, and then rush back to Leitou Mountain with the corpses and troops."
"Honorable Order, Young Marshal." The two village owners did not have the slightest doubt.
Thinking of the four hundred bandits in Phoenix Mountain, Wu Gang was not in the mood to go to bed early.
After letting the two village owners take people back to the mountain, Wu Gang also walked to the dark mountain forest: "Miss Wushuang, let the snake and rat soldiers continue to hunt." ”
"Honorable Order."
More than two hundred rat soldiers and nearly a hundred poisonous snakes around them immediately dispersed, and the combat effectiveness and toxicity of the rat soldiers and snake soldiers in the True Three Worlds were twice or twice as strong as their counterparts in the late Sui World, and the small and medium-sized animals in the mountains and forests could not resist or escape the hunt at all.
After a full meal, the snake and rat soldiers gathered their prey, most of which were only severed or on the verge of death, and then Wu Gang collected the prey gathered everywhere into the Zhensan World.
After being busy in the middle of the night, Wugang's army of snakes and rats also cleared up half of the dense forest in Xishan.
The two hundred rat soldiers have also become a thousand rats and wild cats medium-sized land soldiers, and the nearly 100 poisonous snakes have also become more than 300. The main thing is that a large number of small mountain rats and small snakes replace the snakes, rats, and cat soldiers of the True Three Worlds, otherwise it would be impossible to collect so many adult snakes and rats.
"That's enough, call it a day. It's a pity that there are no wild boars and wolves! Although he had expected it, Wu Gang couldn't help but sigh!
There are at least a few thousand hungry people in the West Mountain, not to mention that there are not many wild wolves and even rabbits and pheasants! Even the bird's nest in the tree was wiped out.
After letting the army scatter to forage for food and hide, Wu Gang also rushed back to Leitou Mountain with two guards. Several guards on the mountain were county soldiers, and Wu Gang also entered the cottage smoothly to rest.
At the end of the night, the morning was still cool, but the diligent mountain people had already climbed up.
The cottage is a big collective family, except for a few masters, food and housing are concentrated, of course, the treatment of swords is much better than that of ordinary people.
Wu Gang also woke up early in the morning, and after breakfast, he continued to sleep in the cage.
He didn't need to go out for the next two small cottages, and after noon was when he was really busy.
The lord of Yang Zhai and the lord of Wang Zhai each took a few county soldiers and twenty knife soldiers, and rushed to the two small cottages nearby.
The sword soldiers of the two small cottages were about two dozen or so, and when they saw that the enemy was also the same number, they were not willing to surrender immediately.
As a result, after being killed by the small half of the bandits, they came to surrender in a hurry.
The two small cottages were quickly cleaned up, and the two village owners immediately returned to Leitou Mountain with some food equipment and troops, and of course twenty dead people were indispensable.
As soon as the team approached the foot of the mountain, the elf already knew: "Wugang Township Chief, the lord of the Wang Zhai, they have come back and brought back twenty corpses. ”
"Good! Let's go. Wu Gang, who closed his eyes and recuperated as he spoke, also stood up.
According to the old rules, the corpses were placed in the grass at the foot of the mountain, and the two village owners returned to the cottage with the team to reorganize the chaotic team.
As soon as the body was put away, Wu Gang also said: "Miss Wushuang, replace the twenty township soldiers!" ”
"Honorable Order." Wu Gang's choice made the elves very satisfied, and the real three worlds also needed regular soldiers such as county soldiers to resist the encirclement and suppression of the county guards and surrounding counties.
"Meet the young marshal." The elves also made the militia change their names.
"Okay, you guys go up the hill and join the ranks." With twenty township soldiers, Wu Gang was also relieved. At least it is impossible for Phoenix Mountain, and it is impossible for them to send four hundred people to fight a decisive battle after capturing Leitou Mountain.
After the soldiers left, Wu Gang looked at the two guards and the two wolf kings beside him.
After a night of recuperation, the Wild Wolf King, who was wrapped in herbs, also recovered most of his combat effectiveness.
"Squadron Zhao, you will hide nearby and cooperate with the lord of Wang Zhai, if Phoenix Mountain wants to send people to attack the north and south villages, you will kill them. If the situation changes, you will move with your father, mother, and siblings. "The snake and rat soldiers are intellectually weak, so they can only accept the command of Wu Gang and the elves, otherwise Wu Gang will not have to worry about the mountain bandits sneaking up on Nanzhai.
The two of Zhao's squadron immediately clasped their fists: "Don't worry, young marshal, we will ensure the safety of the master's family." ”
"Good! Miss Wushuang, let's go over for dinner first. "The place Wu Gang said is Beiya Township.
The elf smiled: "Honorable Order." ”
After eating enough in Beiya Township, Wu Gang also came to Nanzhu County in an instant.
Nanzhu County was built in the reign of the First Emperor and has been about 600 years so far. However, the vast territory is still sparsely populated, and after hundreds of years, the population of the Han people in the county is only two or three thousand.
During this period of history, the number of Han people in Lingnan was very small, and the number of human beings in the entire Zhensan World was not as large as in historical time and space.
Although there are few people in the True Three Worlds, the strength of ordinary people is not small, and the city wall of Nanzhu is six meters high and four meters thick. At a height of six meters, even tigers and leopards have to borrow strength to jump on it.
Nanzhu County, Yulin County, has many water systems, and the entire county is also wrapped by two rivers, and the only one-kilometer land passage has also been dug into a moat of dozens of meters.
If the intelligence is less than 100, the heads-up mode is turned on: the county soldiers will go out of the city to fight. However, the county lieutenant and the two deputy county lieutenants are not low in intelligence. If the strength is evenly matched, they will go out of the city for a decisive battle as soon as the heads-up mode is activated, but the county soldiers will only defend the city if the enemy is strong and I am weak.
The biggest weakness of the city wall is the city gate, which is only six meters wide in order to facilitate access. However, at this time, the drawbridge was also hoisted, and it was not easy to attack.
Wu Gang was observing the city wall, and the county lieutenants and county commanders at the head of the city were also observing them.
"Lord of the county order, the waterway has been cut off by a giant python!" After seeing the two giant pythons, the county lieutenant did not dare to venture out of the city.
The county order was also panicked, but his face did not show it: "The county has asked the system to call for help from the county guard, as long as it holds on for two days, reinforcements from the north county of Shanxian County will arrive." ”
"It should be possible! After all, no matter how many soldiers they had, they couldn't get up the city walls. "Lieutenant Lu was also glad that the famous tiger and leopard beast soldiers in the north cliff did not come, otherwise they would easily jump on the city wall.
After observing for a while, Wu Gang also immediately ordered: "Wu County Lieutenant Huang County Lieutenant, you are ready to take the county soldiers to feint to attack the main gate, and the township chief will take the township soldiers to detour to the dock city gate. ”
"Honorable Order." The two county lieutenants were full of confidence, even if they attacked the city wall, it would be no problem, but in this way, at least half of the casualties were killed.
Shinzo's systems around the world only have a herald function, and they can't communicate or detect loyalty. So the county commander didn't know that two squadron leaders had already surrendered to the North Cliff.
However, Lieutenant Lu still sent the two squadron leaders to the dock city gate, after all, the two traitor captains outside the city were their previous direct commanders.
