This time, more than 200 riders came to the "Green Headband", which was about the same number as expected.

Last time the magpie was very clean, and none of them walked away "alive", just ran a few horses.

The old horses knew the way, and those horses ran back to the tribe of the Holy Fire cultists, but the cattle were cattle after all, and the holy fire cultists could only judge that something had happened to the compatriots who had gone out to rob before, but they had no way of knowing where the incident was.

I want revenge. It can only be inquired and investigated from town to town, tribe to tribe.

It was only on the ninth day that they gathered people and came to Guo Yu's town again.

In a forest outside the town, they found the code words left by the accomplices who had come to rob before, so they affirmed that the town in front of them was the place where the accident happened to their compatriots.

Looking at the tension of the townspeople, it is very clear.

The "Green Bands" were dressed exactly as Flame Truth Cultists, wrapped in green headbands and wearing masks, revealing only their two eyes.

There were three men at the head of the procession, apparently their leader.

The three of them muttered a few words, and the two leaders on the left and right immediately urged their horses and ran around the town.

The town's fortifications were obviously beyond their imagination, they were paramilitary-grade, not what ordinary villages and towns looked like.

However, the three of them still looked arrogant, and the man in the middle made a battle plan with a few gestures of his hands.

There were no officers and soldiers in the town, which was reassuring.

Eighty percent of this set of fortifications is made by someone who has been a soldier, and it looks bluffing, but as long as there is no regular army, a few ordinary people are not afraid at all.

They divided the men into two teams, one to attack the west gate and the other to attack the south gate.

They never took the people of the town seriously, and in their opinion, they could not take care of the two sides of the army, and it would not be long before they could fight themselves.

Bunkers and battlements were built at each entrance, and the walls were taller and thicker, and each village was equipped with ten good archers, and the rest could shoot a few arrows sporadically.

Simon was against the wind, and mainly used bows and arrows and boiling oil to resist the enemy.

The south gate was windy, and the wind was not strong, but it was enough to blow the poisonous powder away. The men at the south gate stopped after firing a few arrows, lured the green-headed bands to the vicinity, and scattered the "poison powder" prepared by the magpies.

The effect was so good that the powder was first in their eyes and then into their noses with their breath.

The first to be affected were the horses, kicking wildly, throwing the green headbands off one by one. I ran away on my own.

The intense burning and stinging sensation made them rub their eyes frantically, and even rubbed blood.

Soon, even the nose couldn't stand it, and despite wearing a veil, poisonous powder was still sucked into the nose.

They rubbed their eyes and noses as if they were not their own, and some simply threw off their masks and bandanas, screaming and rubbing in pain.

As they screamed, the poison powder went down their throats again, and the poison penetrated even deeper.

The greenbands went berserk, slashing with knives. Of course, the people in the town can't cut it, they can only cut their own people, and they are still tireless and frantically slashing and killing.

It seems that blood and killing can make them feel better.

It didn't take long for the green headbands at the South Gate to be almost dead.

Knowing that the other party was coming to attack here, the magpie came over to command.

In order to train the courage and combat experience of the townspeople, she deliberately asked people to open the city gates, organized the young Zhuang to rush out, and killed those who had long been invisible and crazy.

The green headband at the west gate is somewhat better than the treatment at the south gate, but it is not much better.

Bows and arrows can kill. Although those boiling oils can't kill people at once, splashing them on their faces, bodies, and especially necks, they are also very painful. It is even more incapable of resisting the rapid shooting of arrows.

Guo Hua and Dugu Huan deliberately hid their strength, their thoughts were the same as magpies, and they had to train these townspeople.

When most of the other party was killed or injured, Guo Hua and Dugu Huan led the crowd to rush out.

Long knives, spears, hunting forks, and even short knives for chopping wood became weapons for the townspeople to defend their homes.

This time, the battle to defend the homeland also achieved an almost perfect victory.

Only a few elderly people suffered some skin injuries during close combat with the enemy.

Unlike the last time, when the magpie alone defeated the robbers, this time everyone participated, and the mood was even higher and the people were even more jubilant.

This victory belongs to everyone.

They finally understood that as long as they were willing to use their brains and courage, they could also rely on their hunting forks and firewood knives in their hands to defend their wives and children, their land, and their cattle and sheep.

Guo Yu and the three of them have established a high prestige in the hearts of the people, and they are almost obedient to them.

There will always be a day when they leave, and they must be taught how to resist the green headband.

In this battle to defend their homeland, some people were brave and good at shooting, and some people were calm and strategic, Guo Hua elected them out and set up three elders and ten captains.

The elders are in charge of the affairs of the town, especially the decisions and plans of the robbers.

Ten captains went down to form a militia team, organized the townspeople, and worked on agriculture and grazing when they were busy, and trained troops in their spare time to defend themselves against the enemy.

Now they still have scimitars, armor, bows and crossbows captured from the "green headband", and they are more and more well-equipped, and everyone is full of confidence.

Of course, for most people, the magpie's "poison powder" and "boiling oil" are still indispensable "magic skills", suitable for all ages, with a wide range and great lethality. After all, not everyone has the strength to play with a scimitar weighing seven or eight pounds for a long time.

After cleaning the battlefield and distributing the spoils, the townspeople were divided into two groups under the arrangement of the three elders, one group continued to strengthen the "city defense", and the other group continued to collect a large number of wild fruits and rhizomes pointed out by the "Magpie Bodhisattva" to grind more poisonous powder.

There is also a large amount of oil needed. Most of the people here are fishing, hunting and grazing for a living, whether hunting or killing their own livestock, there will always be no shortage of oil.

Guo Hua suddenly had an inspiration, needless to say, the conscription system is no longer applicable in places like the Western Regions.

The government military system of the kind of integration of soldiers and peasants, there are also deficiencies, war horses, weapons, and food have to be prepared by the government soldiers, and now the soldiers are in chaos, where do they have the conditions to prepare war horses and weapons?

And for whom are they fighting?

Evasion of military service is increasing. Instead of preaching to them about the righteousness of the family and the country, it is better to unite them and teach them to defend their homeland.

As a matter of fact, as long as a few commanders and chiefs who are good at organization and management are drawn from the defenders of the various feudal prefectures, all the people of a town and a tribe can be organized to form a certain defensive force.

Although An Lushan was defeated, and the chaos in the Central Plains was too deep, I am afraid that it will be difficult to have peace for decades. It was difficult for the imperial court to restore its huge military presence in the Western Regions.

The land here is vast and sparsely populated, and the ethnic groups are mixed, and there are Tubo, Dashi, Turkic and other forces eyeing each other.

Especially this big stone, the customs are very different from the Han and Tang Dynasties, and the races are different, if they take advantage of the void and occupy the Western Regions, lest future generations will be harassed and invaded by it, leaving a disaster for thousands of years.

We must protect the Western Regions, and even if we can't, we must find a way to turn the Western Regions into a defensive line, trying to block the continuous eastward invasion of Dashi.

Guo Hua is becoming more and more mature, and the things he thinks are different from the past.

He talked to Duguhuan and Magpie about his thoughts. This patrol can't be "just look at it", "green bands" are rampant, and situations like this town must be very common.

Broken Leaf has few defenders, and it is difficult to deal with such cunning bandits, and the "Green Band" must have regarded this town as a thorn in their side, and they can take advantage of this to attract the "Green Band" to come over and use defense as an attack to eliminate as many of them as possible.

Not only that, but also to spread the experience.

Guo Hua told the three elders of the town his idea, and sent a few messengers to the nearby villages and tribes, asking them to send representatives to see how the fortifications were built here and how to resist the infestation of the "green band".

And then there's the linkage with Broken Leaves and the Bondage Mansion.

Guo Hua proposed in advance that when the time came, they would come forward to make a request with the general of Broken Leaves, and the government would send two experienced veterans to be stationed in various villages and tribes to assist everyone in fighting against the green thieves.

Because of the presence of these veterans, an official military-grade intelligence network can be established. The linkage between the towns and tribes can be formed, and at the same time, the officers and soldiers can be contacted in time to come to the rescue.

Of course, the common people can't ask for this kind of thing, and of course they hope that there will be officers and soldiers stationed in the town, even if it is just two veterans, it is more than a group of herdsmen and croppers, which makes people feel at ease.

At present, the most important thing is to be fully prepared for the next attack of the "green band".

The first time the Green Headband came here, it was purely a safari sweep and happened to pass by.

The second time, although it was regarded as a targeted target, it was still too lightly targeted.

This third time, by any rate, will be a tough battle.

Guo Hua and Dugu Huan jointly wrote a letter, hoping that the broken leaf guards could secretly send troops to help. If there happens to be Guo Xin breaking leaves, it would be even better.

Guo Xin's five hundred elite riders are very brave and brave these days, and they are all good men who are ten with one as ten.

Guo Hua had planned to arrange for Magpie to go, she was an assassin, an expert in spying on intelligence and sending letters. However, the three elders in the town did not agree, and they didn't want the "Magpie Bodhisattva" to leave here, and everyone was at ease with her.

The three elders selected two clever hunters in the village to deliver the message.

In addition, several nearby villages also sent many young men to support, all of them are hunting masters in various departments and villages, bows and arrows, hunting forks, and finally played well, a total of more than 300 people.

These villages are also often harassed by the "green band", but because there is no one to organize, there is no resistance, resentment and helplessness, I heard that there are masters in the town, can help everyone defeat the green band, everyone is very excited, positive response.

Guo Hua also taught them the experience and skills of building city defenses and fighting against the enemy, and asked them to go back and do the same according to the law, even if there were any more green heads to invade their village, they would have a plan to deal with it.

Guo Hua expected that the enemy would attack in a big way, and actively prepared for battle, but he really didn't expect that there would be so many Holy Fire Cultists entrenched in the area of Broken Leaves.

At dawn on this day, when people were most tired, the green bands came all over the world in the night.
