Now everything in the village has become orderly under the care of Ye Biao and Ye Ju. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Although some of the people who joined the first time saw that the route was fast, they felt the huge development potential of the village and the various benefits in the village, but no one wanted to go back.

Of course, in order to prevent the villagers from asking to go back, Li Tang still tried to minimize the number of voyages of the fleet close to Linhai Village. Exaggerating the risks of the voyage, trick the villagers into setting up a teleportation array in their territory before going back.

In fact, the original villagers were not many in number, but they had the strongest sense of belonging. Now, those sailors have basically become the militia of the village to maintain law and order, and their social status has been greatly improved.

Moreover, they watched the village change day by day, so they also had a strong sense of belonging to the village. They see themselves more as hosts than guests.

In addition, Li Tang did not hesitate to build them a good house and arrange work, where would they still think about leaving their nationality and going home!

Even if it was the tsunami group's subordinates, they were originally officers and soldiers, but now that they have a good opportunity, they are naturally determined to follow Li Tang.

It is precisely a group of villagers who really regard the village as their home and are wholeheartedly loyal to Li Tang. Li Tang was a little relieved in his backyard.

After forcing the last captives in the Qiankun Bracelet to be loyal to him, he released them and let them join Linhai Village. With a group of loyal subordinates, it is estimated that these people will not be able to make waves.

Now, the only thing that Li Tang regrets is that he can solve the problem of lack of cotton and linen, but he can't solve the source of iron. After all, no iron ore has been found in the territory.

Among his own villagers, there are two junior prospectors and one hundred and ten miners. However, there are no iron mines, so they are now engaged in other jobs such as quarrying and logging.

If you can't solve the problem of iron ore by yourself, if the shipping route is cut off and the imperial court strictly prohibits the private sale of iron ore, iron ingots, and iron tools, you will be finished.

Li Tang doesn't know much about games, but he still knows a little about history. Since this game is so real, and it intercepts the storyline of the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, plus the situation that Zhang Fu said is unstable, then the war is probably not far away.

Since some people began to hoard horses, it is estimated that the imperial court will sooner or later restrict the purchase and sale of other war resources, such as salt, iron, horses, weapons, etc.

Strategic resources, Li Tang now has money, and he can indeed hoard some. However, resources will eventually run out, and in the end, you have to rely on finding iron ore to be insured.

In fact, after the advent of the later war, the imperial court really banned the free buying and selling of strategic materials, and the circulation of these materials could only be through the black market, but it was strongly attacked by the imperial court.

This ban came as a surprise to almost all players, especially those veterans who were very proficient in the game, and they thought that since the system had identified something, it would basically not change, and the sudden ban of the system caught them off guard.

And, what's more, the world is in chaos, and the function of the God of Wealth Altar is basically paralyzed, and it can only buy and sell materials within the same force, and the cost of mailing and storage has greatly increased. Once someone breaks through the city, village and town, the items stored in the God of Wealth Altar will also explode, which suddenly makes the God of Wealth Altar become a chicken rib.

Nowadays, the tedious things in the village are all done by Ye Biao and Ye Ju. And the fleet was taken away by Ye Hui again, and if he wanted to organize a voyage, he had to wait for them to come back.

Forget it, it's really not good, let's go for a spin in the mountains!

To be honest, I haven't set foot on the top of the mountain since I ran down the mountain. Li Tang grew up in the mountains, but he has an instinctive fear of the mountains. Because, among the lofty mountains, there are too many hidden crises.

As for the tsunami, the mountain may be inhabited by Shengfan, and of course Li Tang is not at ease. In case there are really powerful neighbors around Linhai Village, I really have to arrange it well, lest they come down from the mountains to their village on a whim one day, and they will be miserable?

Before, because there were not many infantry, they didn't dare to explore. Now that you have it, it's time to explore.

Li Tang ordered 100 4-star sword soldiers, 50 4-star crossbowmen, 50 archers, two high-ranking generals, plus his partner Roaring Sky Dog to follow him to patrol the mountain, and 2 prospectors to follow him to find ore.

Before leaving, Li Tang explained to Ye Biao:

"Uncle, I'll go around the territory, it's estimated that I'll be back in as little as 4-5 days, and at most half a month, and then my brother Ye Hui will come back, if he comes back and brings back the horses, you can set up a post station, and as soon as I come back, I'll upgrade the village to a town."

Ye Biao said:

"Virtuous nephew! Exploring the mountains is extremely dangerous, so let Uncle do such a thing! You stay in the village to suppress the formation, this village can't do without you! ”

Li Tang hurriedly said:

"Uncle, where can I leave you when I govern the village! Anyway, I don't have anything to do in the village, so I might as well go out and walk around, maybe I can find iron ore, so I don't have to be subject to the mainland! By the way, after I'm gone, you're going to send people to patrol day and night. I'm afraid that the pirates from last time have discovered our village and are waiting for an opportunity to attack! ”

Ye Biao saw that Li Tang had diverted the topic, so he no longer bothered about the issue of whether to let Li Tang out, so he said:

"The virtuous nephew must be careful when he goes, and if he is in danger, he will come back immediately, and he must not act recklessly. As for the pirates, I don't think too many of them would come even if they attacked.

After you left, there were still 1,600 sailors, 1,000 sailors, 800 infantry, dozens of generals, four large war ships, four small sailing ships, more than 20 red horse boats, and many red horse boats converted into fireboats. ”

Li Tang nodded yes.

The next day, the weather was very clear, cloudless and endless. In the early morning, he led his soldiers and marched goods to explore the ridge. Generally, the ridge is sparsely wooded, and the terrain is relatively flat, so you can barely walk.

If you explore along the foot of the mountain, it is easier to see people. However, the efficiency of exploration is far less efficient than walking on the ridge, after all, standing high and looking far!

Everyone overcame all the way and walked for almost two hours before they reached the halfway point of the mountain. Everyone was tired enough to find a rock pile with a wide view to rest.

The rock was bare, and there were no tall trees around it, only small grasses, mosses, and other plants. The whole rock is purple-red, and I don't know what kind of stone it is.

Li Tang doesn't care what kind of stone it is, just sit on this stone very comfortably and coolly. Moreover, the field of vision is still very wide, and you can vaguely see Linhai Village from here.

You can also look into the depths of the sea with your eyes in the distance, and you can see the sea and sky in the distance, which is very spectacular!

However, the two prospectors who accompanied him did not think so. When everyone was lying and sitting on the rocks to practice, they were excitedly picking up the hammer to see where to knock, and finally the two discussed, and Li Tang, who was running in a hurry, said:

"Village Chief! Great joy! This rock is supposed to be copper ore, and it's also open-air. It's not far from the village, and you can build a road to develop an open-pit copper mine here! ”

Li Tang was very happy when he heard that he had discovered the copper mine. Because copper is a precious metal, copper coins can be made, although it is not the expected iron ore, after all, it is not minerals when you go out! Or the more precious copper mine. That's a good sign!

Just when everyone heard that the copper mine had been discovered, they were all excited to knock around and take a look to see if they could make a piece of copper. But the howling dog suddenly howled at the sea, and its howl attracted everyone's attention.

The Howling Dog must have discovered something. So, everyone looked in the direction of the roaring dog's eyes, and Li Tang didn't see anything.

However, Li Tang knows that the roaring dog will definitely not deceive people, there must be something at sea, but everyone's eyesight is not as good as it.

Sure enough, after half a pillar of incense, some sharp-eyed soldiers also discovered the anomaly on the sea, and several small black dots appeared from the sky. In the end, under their guidance, everyone did see it.

After about two quarters of an hour, everyone always thought that the small black dot they saw should be a ship, a total of 7 ships, and the size of the ship could not be estimated for the time being.

Looking at the direction in which these boats are moving, it should be towards Linhai Village, because these boats are gradually approaching.

Thinking about it, Ye Hui shouldn't have returned so quickly, it shouldn't be Ye Hui's ship, and Ye Hui's ship doesn't have so many.

If it's not Ye Hui, it might be a pirate.

It is estimated that the time when these pirates arrived at Linhai Village should be tonight. If it really arrives at night, and 7 ships come to attack Linhai Village at once, even if the village can resist, it is estimated that it will suffer heavy losses.

It seems that this trip is right, otherwise, you won't be able to find out that the pirates are coming, and you won't be really caught off guard.

Li Tang left the Howling Dog to observe the situation in the same place, leaving enough food and water for the Howling Dog to come back and report as soon as he found out that the pirates were approaching the village. Anyway, with the strength of the Howling Sky Dog's feet and the downhill road, it is estimated that he can rush back to the village in half an hour. The others followed Li Tang and immediately returned to the village, and this exploration could only be temporarily suspended.

Li Tang took more than 1 hour to go down the mountain and rushed back to the village. As soon as he arrived in the village, Ye Biao saw Li Tang and the others looking anxious, and hurriedly asked why.

Li Tang said:

"Uncle, we saw seven ships coming towards us in the mountains, they should be pirate ships. If so, it's probably the same group of pirates from last time. According to the last shipboard ratio, seven ships should have a crew of 7,700 people and a pure combat force of 5,600 people. If the military generals are still in the original proportion, there should be about 20 people. ”

When Ye Hui heard that there were so many people, he was very nervous, and muttered:

"We only have 1,600 naval officers, 1,000 sailors, and 1,000 infantry! The number of people is at a disadvantage! It looks like we're going to suffer a big loss if we fight!"

It seems that although Ye Hui has a high intelligence, he is good at government affairs, and he is not very good at marching and fighting! It would be nice if the tsunami was there, Li Tang still regretted letting the tsunami go to the mainland.

However, that is, Tsunami is a fine person, after all, it involves trade routes and 200,000 gold coins, and Li Tang is still not very relieved to rely on Ye Hui alone.

Just when Li Tang didn't have a clue and was about to arrange the troops according to his own wishes, a military general next to him interjected:

"My lord, I thought that naval warfare was not about the number of people, but about tactics. Lord, didn't you also fight a lot of battles to win more with less? ”

Li Tang looked at it, and it turned out to be the middle-level military general Nie Jun.

This person looks of medium build, good looks, about 20 years old, qualifications sss, force: 89 intelligence: 79 commander: 92 politics: 69. Compared to the tsunami, it's a little worse, but in general, it should be considered both wise and brave.

Li Tang said approvingly:

"Then tell me, if it were you, how would you meet the enemy?"

Nie Jun was not polite, and said directly: "Lord, the art of war, knowing yourself and knowing that you are victorious in a hundred battles." The enemy is coming, but we already know it, but the enemy doesn't know that we know. We've already won 10 percent.

Second, we fought at home, defended our homeland, and shared the same hatred for the enemy, the enemy came from afar, and our morale was exhausted, and our morale was victorious.

Third, there are many enemies, but the level should be low, our soldiers are all elite, plus they are good at water warfare, and there are many generals, so they should be comparable. ”

Li Tang nodded yes, so he ordered the whole village to obey Nie Jun's assignment.

Nie Jun first assigned four warships to take 300 soldiers, 100 sailors, and 1 military general before dark, and sneaked into the mountain recesses on both sides of the village, and waited until the fire broke out, or the sound of battle, and immediately approached the village and attacked the enemy ships.

Arrange 15 red horse boats to fix steel nails on the bow, the nail head is facing outward, full of grease and other fire-igniting things, 20 sailors per boat, see the enemy ship, every two ships choose an enemy ship, rush to the enemy ship, nail the enemy ship, light the red horse boat and then jump into the sea, a red horse boat as a maneuver, in case of an accident on which one, then go forward to the top.

Arrange 20 red horse boats, each with 15 sailors, 15 sailors, and 1 general, to guerrilla enemy ships, interfere with enemy ships to land, create opportunities for fireships, and rescue sailors who have jumped into the water on fireboats, rescue the wounded who have fallen into the water in battle, and assassinate the enemy people who have fallen into the water.

100 soldiers with excellent water skills, ready to launch and scuttle boats at any time, as well as hunt down enemy overboard.

500 infantry on the dock to block the enemy, the other 3 walls each left 100 infantry, 1 general to defend, in addition to the middle of the village left 200 soldiers, 1 general, for emergency purposes, the rest of the infantry generals all dock to meet the enemy, if the enemy escaped, each board the red horse boat to pursue.

The militia took weapons to patrol the village, and found unstable factors to kill first and then report, and Ye Biao was in charge of the people here; 300 reliable civilians and doctors were dispatched to prepare for rescuing and bandaging the wounded at any time, and Ye Ju was in charge of these people.

After listening to the arrangement, Li Tang felt that it was very good, and he wanted to add nothing. He asked:

"What should I do if there are not enough generals in the navy?"

Nie Jun said unhurriedly:

"I have taken this into account, our army has 21 naval generals and 18 infantry generals. Among them, there are 6 naval generals, and 15 naval generals. I decided to send some infantry generals on board, all of whom were sailors and were good at surface warfare, and were basically familiar with water warfare. The battle was dominated by water warfare, supplemented by land warfare. ”

"That's great!"

Li Tang nodded.

"Then you can assign the tasks one by one!"

Nie Jun was not polite, and directly asked the Howling Sky Dog to be a herald, and arranged Li Tang to the Whale Shark to command the ship and ambush the pirates. Li Tang had to agree, obviously, he was at most a general, not a handsome talent!

But fortunately, it is estimated that in order to please himself, this kid was also afraid that he would hang up, so he deployed the 4 9-star soldiers and 3 8-star soldiers to himself.

The other generals originally saw him as young and did not want to be under his command. However, seeing that he first assigned the Roaring Sky Dog and Li Tang, he naturally lost his temper, no matter how big he was, he was bigger than Li Tang?

After the tasks were assigned, they arranged for people to place a huge fire on the wharf, and spread dry and wet firewood and grass on the wharf with smoke and fire.

Then he told them to eat and drink to their heart's content, and to sleep in their clothes. When you see the flames in Linhai Village, you will attack immediately. And they said yes, and went to their respective duties.

Nie Jun himself inspected the docks, looked at the preparations everywhere, and explained the tasks and precautions to everyone over and over again.
