The locust plague, these homeless people don't know how many times they have experienced it personally, and they are already familiar with it, so they will naturally not be frightened by the swarm in front of them.

When they saw the approaching 'dark clouds', they rushed forward without thinking, waving their nets and netting the dense locusts with great skill.

How dense is this overwhelming swarm of locusts?

With a casual wave of the net, you can catch many, or even a dozen.

In a few moments, a bag full of locusts was filled, and then it was skillfully poured into the sack, tied the mouth of the bag, and began to lay a net.

Seeing that they were not afraid of the terrifying 'dark clouds' flying from the black pressure in front of them, and even rushed directly into the locust swarm and killed inside, the hearts of the retreating people and soldiers began to waver.

Is it really okay to let your whole person be surrounded by locusts that can eat everything?

Just as they hesitated, an angry roar sounded behind everyone, "Why are you stunned, don't you go catch locusts!" Do you want them to fly in and eat all your crops, and finally have nothing to harvest?

Look at which of these brethren from the north has chosen to retreat, and they are still willing to charge forward with no land here.

Look at you again, behind you are your fields, your crops, and as the owners of this land, you can still watch them rush in and destroy your homeland?

All to Lao Tzu, all soldiers, those who do not obey the order will be dealt with by military law, as for the rest of the people, Lao Tzu really can't give you military orders, but when the crops are destroyed, I hope you don't cry to find the government, we don't care about you seeds. ”

Then, a tall man dressed in a general's uniform and with a sword at his waist in his hand, holding a net bag and a sack, rushed out of the crowd, rushed into the swarm of locusts, and imitated the outcasts, waving the 'weapon' in his hand.

At this moment, the ordinary net pocket became the sharpest weapon in his hand, killing the enemy in front of him without leaving a single piece of armor.

At the same time, he did not forget to continue to guide the people.

Holding the locusts in his hands, he shouted loudly, "All the soldiers listen to the order, the locusts caught today are your own, and how much money you can get depends on your ability, and the more money you get, the more the general will reward."

Kill! Kill them all! Protect our crops, treat them as our trophies, and bring them to Xue's house for money. ”

Under his grace and authority, the soldiers present responded in unison, "Yes!" ”

Later, they also rushed into the swarm of locusts, and even imitated him to roar and wave the nets in his hands, constantly destroying the enemies in front of them.

This is the battlefield where they fight the locust army.

And they are the warriors who defend the territory with the enemy.

With so many soldiers gathered together, no matter what they do, they will be extremely imposing, and it is difficult not to shock people's hearts.

With them and the northern outcasts leading the way, the people who were initially frightened by the locust swarm also joined the capture team.

In particular, when they saw the general who took the lead in entering the battlefield, tossing and turning, and after a while loading more than half a sack, the people's enthusiasm for catching locusts was also higher.

"There are so many locusts, if they are sold, they must be at least a dozen yuan, right?" Some timid people looked at the sack in the hand of the mighty general, and couldn't help muttering, and then they also roared and rushed into the swarm of locusts, "For the silver, fight." ”

Whether it's because of fear of crop destruction, or because of the value of red locusts, or because they follow the crowd, or because they have an example to stop fearing locust swarms.

In short, within a quarter of an hour, all the people who had been guarding the area had joined the army fighting the locusts.

Others, as soon as the locust swarm arrived, were sent back to report the news. Baixiao

Of course, there are also people who have been planted here to quickly go back to report the news.

Not long after, a large number of soldiers and civilians rushed from the surrounding area to participate in the extermination of locusts.

It's a pity that although they also have thousands of people directly guarding here, and people are constantly coming, they can gather tens of thousands of people in a short time.

But the locust swarm that flew in this time was too big, and because they had to defend the entire three sides of Ning'an Mansion, the manpower was scattered, and it was difficult for all the manpower to be gathered in a short time, and the guards from other directions did not dare to leave their posts without permission.

So the defense didn't work very well.

After all, facing locusts is not the same as facing a real enemy attack.

If they were to fight against humans, they would only need to defend the city, and a few gates.

But what about locusts, they can fly and come from any direction.

And,This time it's not about defending the city.,It's about defending the entire territory.,The difficulty is naturally different.。。

And if there is no food in the city, they will not come in.

Their favorite thing is not elsewhere, but the farmland of the people outside the city, especially the crops that are overgrown.

To intercept the locust swarm, you have to defend the entire Ning'an Province, and you don't need to protect only the mountains and forests and the southernmost wild forests.

Therefore, even if they had predicted where the locusts were most likely to fly from, when they really distributed their forces to defend them, they could only disperse.

Just like the first batch of locusts, they flew from the northeast, which is also the direction in which Ning'an Province is relatively weakly defended.

It can be seen that dispersed guards are effective.

However, while this will reduce the risk of missing out, it will also dilute the troops.

As a result, they were unable to completely keep the locust swarm out of Ning'an Mansion.

No matter how active the guards were, there were still a large number of locusts flying past the guards and into Ning'an Mansion every time.

And their policy is that the parts that can't be defended don't care about them, let them do nothing, anyway, there are still a large number of people in it who are really holding nets and waiting for them.

Humans and locusts, the two natural enemies, just chase after me, one side frantically wants to eat food, and the other side desperately blocks it.

Xue family.

Upon hearing the news of the arrival of the locusts, Jiang Qianyue immediately issued an order to let the people below lead the duck army to guard the hundreds of thousands of acres of sweet potato fields, waiting to intercept the incoming enemy.

And the large number of displaced people who worked here, as well as the Xue family's own long-term workers, as well as the people who rented the fields to them and also worked for them, were also ready to protect the fields for the Xue family early.

Therefore, when the Xue family received the news and gave the order, they quickly arrived at the 'battlefield' and waited to fight the enemy.

Especially in the sweet potato fields closest to the direction where the locusts entered, almost all the workers put down what they were doing at the moment of receiving the order, and took up their 'weapons' one after another to wait for the locusts to bring them.

Gradually, the locust swarm in Wuyangyang came into people's field of vision.

The people who had been prepared for a long time naturally pulled out their weapons, and the ducks were chased by the ducks, waiting for them to be caught when they flew closer.
