Yuancheng sent troops, and if it didn't make a sound, it would be amazing. There were more than fourteen companies of soldiers in total, divided into three groups and rapidly advancing around Yuancheng, which was so fast that the surrounding forces were shocked.

In just one day, Yuancheng won thirteen forces in a row, annihilated more than 1,100 rebellious enemy troops, captured more than 8,000 people, and Yuandong's own soldiers were only 56 soldiers.

After hearing that Yuandong was attacking so quickly, the people of the other forces were frightened, and many people immediately sent people to surrender to Yuandong to avoid their own forces being attacked.

So on the 70th day of the new calendar alone, Yuancheng subdued more than eighty percent of the forces in the surrounding area of Yuanshan, and only a small number of forces were still resisting.

The soldiers of Yuancheng can be so strong, mainly because some soldiers can already hold swords, iron guns or broadswords, and their weapons are several times stronger than them, and more importantly, the soldiers of Yuancheng have been listed separately for training, not to mention that they have to do other labor while training, so they are also much stronger than them in terms of professionalism.

All the population of the newly subdued forces were scattered by Lin Yue and distributed to three areas for labor. These three areas were established by the previous three relatively large forces, and now after being conquered by Yuancheng, these areas will be attributed to Yuancheng, and Lin Yue retains their original power names, and named them Yihan District, Linhe District, and Zuoshan District respectively.

For those small forces to conquer, if they can't all fight in one go, then it will be more difficult for the rest of those who want to fight, after all, they are ready to defend at all times. So Rainstorm handed over the next military plan to Liao Huan and asked him to deal with those small forces that were stubbornly resisting.

Lin Yue turned to continue to reorganize the internal affairs of Yuancheng.

In the blink of an eye, almost twenty days passed, and the time came to the 90th day of the new calendar. At this time, all the forces in the Yuanshan area have already been subdued by Yuancheng, and the distribution of the entire Yuancheng is divided into ten areas, in addition to the eight districts of Zhongyuan, Qinglong, Baihu, Suzaku, Xuanwu, Yihan, Linhe, and Zuoshan, a new dust area has also been built, and at the same time, Yuandong and a large area around it are divided into a separate area for the construction of a cemetery, and all the deceased people in Yuancheng will set up a tombstone here.

In the past month, Yuancheng has built a lot of houses, and basically everyone lives in the houses. Since iron tools had been smelted, even rudimentary nails could be made, making it much easier to build houses.

And next, Lin Yue set his sights on the ...... in the east Giant Bear!

"Now, I need you to come up with a battle plan for the Giant Bear!" In the conference room of the Office of the Government Council, all the managers in Lin Yue said: "We need to pay attention to three aspects, to be able to quickly deal with the giant bear, not to have too many casualties, and how to prevent the giant bear from taking out his anger on Yuancheng if the battle plan fails." ”

Nowadays, all kinds of major decision-making discussions in Yuancheng will be discussed in the conference room of the Office of the Government Affairs Yuan, and there will be government officials gathering for meetings for policies; For the military, there will be officers who will come to the meeting; For the reform of Yuancheng or the formulation of laws, there will be district representatives who come here for a meeting. And these three aspects will be directly led by Lin Yue.

Lin Yue himself also listed some ideas for their reference, and then the officers of Yuancheng formulated a detailed plan around Lin Yue's ideas, which was confirmed by Lin Yue's nod, and then conveyed to the army soldiers.

The ten-meter giant bear blocked the position to the east of Yuancheng, which means that Yuancheng will have to fight with it sooner or later, and it is better to solve it later than to solve it early, while the giant bear has not yet threatened the safety of Yuandong, it is best to solve him as soon as possible.

"There are still a few days until the 100th day of the new calendar, and at that time, we will hold a commemorative event in Yuancheng, and we will take the food needed for the event on the giant bear. So, get ahead of the commemoration and take out the giant bear! ”

All officers present at the meeting should immediately be.

On the 98th day of the new calendar, the battle plan against the giant bear was launched.

First of all, for the whereabouts of the giant bear, Lin Yue had already asked people to do a good job of investigation a few days ago. The giant bear is about 15 kilometers away from Yuancheng. His activities are not very extensive, and he is kept within a radius of seven or eight kilometers.

Because of the danger of giant bears, basically no one dares to hunt in its territory, so there are still many animals in this range. The bear hunts every few days, and after eating, he curls up in his own cave and sleeps. And there is a certain pattern to the time of eating. After eating about once, he will continue to hunt after six days. And on the 98th day of the new calendar, it is the time for the giant bear to come out to hunt again.

In the past few days, Lin Yue had already let people dig a lot of traps in the range of the giant bear. In fact, with a body as huge as a giant bear, there were basically no traps to trap him. After all, a ten-meter-tall body like it would have to dig at least a ten-meter hole to trap it. In reality, it is very difficult and takes a long time to dig such a deep pit with a large enough area. What's even more difficult is that this area is close to a river, and water seeps out less than 10 meters from the ground, and it is impossible to dig further.

And Lin Yuezhi wanted to dig a trap in order to inflict continuous damage on it. He dug seven or eight traps in the area where the giant bear moved, all of which were almost eight meters deep, and each trap contained a number of sharp iron spears, and once the giant bear stepped under the trap, it would be pierced by the iron spear. Of course, this kind of damage will not be very large, after all, a huge body like a giant bear must have rough skin and thick flesh, and each iron spear is only two or three meters long, and it is not enough to be fatal when pierced into the body of a giant bear.

But the iron spears are better than the number of them, and if dozens of iron spears are placed in a trap, the giant bear will fall all at once, and at least a dozen or so will pierce it, causing him to suffer some minor injuries.

In addition to traps, Lin Yue also made a lot of rudimentary trebuchets. This kind of machinery with a simple lever principle is not difficult for the people of Yuancheng at all. If he could, Lin Yue actually wanted to make artillery, but it couldn't be achieved under the current conditions.

If you want to smelt a cannon barrel, you can barely do it, but the key is that there is no gunpowder. A large amount of sulfur and saltpeter is needed to make gunpowder, and these things are basically not available in Yuancheng at present.

Therefore, Lin Yue had no choice but to settle for the next best thing and use these simple trebuchets. These trebuchets are capable of striking at bears from a distance, and while they are not lethal, they can deal some damage to a bear by hitting a person with a large rock, just as it can be done by hitting a person with a stone. However, these trebuchets have a fatal weakness, which is that they are too heavy and difficult to move.

In the end, Lin Yue would have people get the gasoline that Yuan Cheng had collected so far into the giant bear's cave, and at the same time bring in a large amount of firewood, and when the giant bear returned to the cave, it would ignite the cave. Of course, it is impossible to kill the cave by setting it on fire prematurely, as the bear will immediately burrow out of the cave if it reacts to something wrong.

But if you wait until it's already scarred to ignite it, it will inevitably cause great damage to it. Of course, it may still not be able to kill it, and at the last moment, it will be necessary to rely on the soldiers to kill it.

"Remember to distribute the thirty trebuchets to make sure they can accurately hit the bear when the plan starts!" Before the battle began, Lin Yue told Chu Yang about the trebuchet.

"Don't worry!" Chu Yang smiled and said to Lin Yue: "I have tested it two days ago, although the trebuchet can't hit a moving target, but there is no problem if you hit a fixed target within a range of 100 meters." The trebuchets will aim at the location of the trap in advance, and once the bear falls into the trap, the thirty trebuchets will immediately carry out a covering strike. ”

Lin Yue nodded with satisfaction, and then asked Chu Yang to order down and gather all the soldiers to set off. A total of 1,000 troops followed Lin Yue's call and set off on time in the early morning of the 98th day of the new calendar.

The location of the giant bear was more than ten kilometers away, so it would take several hours just to march. After arriving at the Giant Bear's territory, Lin Yue immediately asked all the soldiers to disperse and stand in position. A long-eared sheep was placed in a trap closest to the bear. At the same time, long-eared sheep were placed in several other traps.

In order to kill this giant bear, Lin Yue knew that he had to invest some money, long-eared sheep are extremely precious captive livestock in Yuancheng, there are only a dozen in total, and one less means that Yuancheng's breeding will have to be developed a long time later. And now take out a few of them to make bait, that is like cutting meat for the people of Yuancheng.

But this is also something that cannot be helped, in order to kill this giant bear, it must be bloody.

After everything was ready, Lin Yue asked people to wait for the giant bear to come out of the cave. As soon as it comes out of its hole and starts looking for food, it will find the long-eared sheep on the trap not far away.

About two hours later, the bear came out of the burrow again to hunt according to its daily routine. And with the sensitivity of his nose, he immediately smelled prey within a radius of several hundred meters. It didn't hesitate too much and went straight in the direction where it sniffed its prey.

The prey is naturally the long-eared sheep, which is constantly struggling with its hands and feet tied to the ground. When the giant bear saw this sheep, his eyes lit up and he quickly walked towards the long-eared sheep. Although the long-eared sheep can only swallow it in one bite, it is very hungry now, and it is naturally very happy to have something to eat.

However, before it reached the position of the long-eared sheep, it suddenly stepped on the air. It fell into the trap, the sharp iron spears piercing its skin.

"How......." was stabbed by an iron spear, and the giant bear suddenly felt pain, and immediately roared loudly, the sound was so loud that it shook the heavens and the earth.

In the distance, after Lin Yue saw the giant bear caught in the trap, he immediately ordered: "Throw stones!" ”
