Lin Sen hurriedly explained, and returned to the tulou with the team member who reported the news, wanting to know the details.
"Did our people keep an eye on those bandits this time?" Lin Sen asked uneasily.
"This time, after someone discovered their whereabouts, several brothers from the squad followed them not too far away, keeping an eye on their movements.
At the current speed of these bandits, if they really want to come to our Zhuangzi, I'm afraid it will take a few days. The team member replied in the affirmative.
"Is there a chance to break them one by one?" Lin Sen habitually took out a pen and paper, ready to draw a map of the current situation and mark the movements of the enemy forces.
"I'm afraid of this, although they are not very harmonious between several bandits, but this time it is rare to let go of prejudices, and they all chose to act at the same time and place, when our people found them, the number of the other party was already very large, and they couldn't catch a force to fight to the death.
Now the team members are keeping an eye on them, and they are also looking for opportunities to kill and injure more of their men, but they only come here occasionally to sneak attack, and they can't organize a decent offensive.
However, the blow to their military morale is not ordinary, those guys are either suspicious, or they feel that they are likely to offend some kind of immortals, and everything is not going well. The team member said with some pity.
"The forces behind them have spoken, and these doglegs can only abandon their previous suspicions and want to show their faces in front of the master behind them." Lin Sen waved his hand to show that he didn't care.
"It's right to slow down the enemy's movement by sneak attacks. Tell the team members to slow down the enemy's movements as much as possible on the basis of preserving themselves, so as to buy us more time.
Killing and injuring the enemy is only a means, and further attacking their military morale is the goal, and it would be good if they could let them break out into greater contradictions and conflicts between each other, even if the conflict does not arise, it will be more beneficial for us to have a little more suspicion between each other. Lin Sen groaned, and at the same time, he didn't stop moving, and wrote down all the precautions he thought of.
"Arrange for people to go to Chang'an to report the news, the Qin family and the Cheng family will be sent there, and let them try to help dispatch some troops to encircle and suppress this gang of bandits.
By the way, a few more people should go together, so as not to encounter interception, for fear that the master behind them will arrange someone to do this.
Bring this schematic diagram of the cylinder car, really encounter obstacles, hand over this thing, and the external rhetoric must be consistent, that is, to send this, I don't know anything else. Lin Sen handed over the sketch of the cylinder car again, and at the same time carefully advised.
And Xi Weizhong, a fierce general who had really been on the battlefield, nodded frequently behind Lin Sen's back, his face was full of expressions of relief and respect, Lin Sen's response was thoughtful and quite general-like.
"Oil mills and the like, wherever there is contact with the outside world, have posted notices to tell outsiders not to come to Zhuangzi in the next few days.
Then tell all the farmers to go back and pack up their things and prepare to evacuate to the tulou. To be busy but not chaotic, follow our previous evacuation drill. At present, there is plenty of time, and you can move all the supplies of each family in, so don't be in a hurry.
And be sure to let them be careful, the more you get to this time, the more you must guard against people mixing in and making trouble, so that the men of each family are more vigilant, bring weapons, and be ready to deal with those thieves who sneak in. ”
Several Zhuangzi stewards nodded frequently when they listened, and they admired Lin Sen's meticulousness and calmness, and at the same time, under Lin Sen's infection, they felt a lot more steady, so they got up one after another to signal that they understood.
After going over it all over again, he felt that there was nothing missing, so Lin Sen waved his hand and motioned for everyone to go and do their own work.
"Have you found out how many enemies there are? Can there be large instruments, and how much do bows and crossbows have? ”
After sending off the stewards, Lin Sen pulled the special team members who came back to report the news, and understood the enemy's strength in more detail, and asked too much in detail in front of the stewards, for fear of losing their confidence, after all, the enemy looked at the momentum very much.
"I haven't seen any large equipment from the enemy, neither a bed crossbow nor a trebuchet, and it's not realistic to drag these things in the mountains and forests.
At present, nearly half of the enemy has bows and arrows, and crossbows are rare, and our people have not been attacked by crossbows in the past several times to provoke and sneak attack. ”
Speaking of these, this team member is even a little proud, the enemy's situation is clear here, many times they have touched the enemy's nose, and by the way, they have killed a lot of their people, of course, there are not a few enemies who have fallen into the trap, no matter how you look at the limelight, the team members here are exhausted.
"As for the number of people...... this team member groaned for a while, and did not reply immediately, I am afraid that there are really a lot of enemies.
"So far, there are more than 1,000 or nearly 2,000 enemies, not counting the scouts they dispersed, and what we eat is mainly the enemy's scouts, they are more scattered, and there are more times when they are alone.
Although these people are much worse than us, they are actually not bad at their own skills, and they even engaged in anti-ambushes, almost letting our people be recruited.
In addition, although they are divided into several forces and set up camp separately, each force is not something that our people can confront head-on.
And they are very close to each other, they can completely echo each other, and they don't give us a chance to sneak attack.
So in general, the enemy this time is not easy to get along with. "It's rare for this team member to give a good evaluation to the enemy, which shows that these enemies are really difficult.
"Oh, it sounds a bit tricky, but with the tulou here, we're already invincible, especially if they don't have siege engines. No matter how tough they are, they can't take off the hat of a rabble, we just need to hold on for some time.
There are strong bases inside, and there are reinforcements from Chang'an City outside, and when the time comes, I am afraid that these bandits will be in a dilemma. If they run fast, they can still stay alive, and if they run slowly, they are afraid of being wrapped in dumplings.
So tell the brothers that this time is harder, as long as they return to the tulou one by one, they don't have to worry about the enemy's strength. Lin Sen had to explain a few more words, so as to stabilize the minds of the strongest combat power under this gang.
"Please rest assured, the brothers have long made up their minds that they will live and die with Zhuangzi, and if they want to hurt the head of the family, unless they step on the corpses of all of us, as long as we are still alive, we will never let the head of the family be hurt in the slightest." The team member looked very solemnly assured.
