An army?

The report came to report on a Greek hoplite who was a professional soldier and should have understood what an army really meant!

Strictly speaking, the first one or two hundred people who came to attack the village were not the army at all, and the people in the village kept calling Li Liguo and others bandits before they surrendered, and the biggest difference between the army and robbers and bandits in this world is that there is a huge gap in numbers!

can be called an army, the other party at least looks like there are thousands of people in the big eyes!

This is not a good opponent!

Li Liguo's face was solemn as he walked to the wooden wall of the village and asked the Greek hoplite: "How many people are there on the other side?" ”

"General, there are a lot of people on the other side, and the open space in front of the village is dense, at least more than 2,000 people!"

"What is the purpose of the other party?"

With so many people attacking the village, if it was purely for the sake of killing, the attack would have started a long time ago, and it is impossible that there has not been a battle by now!

"The other party asked us to hand over this month's 'protection fee'. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Li Liguo's body paused, this army turned out to be here to collect protection money......

"Go and call Wang Zhong over, I'll wait for him at the main entrance of the wooden wall!"

After Li Liguo finished speaking, he continued to lead people towards the main gate, he seemed to have met a peer this time, and he was still a much stronger peer than himself, at least the other party was much stronger than himself in terms of numbers!

On the way to the wooden wall, Li Liguo asked all the Greek hoplites to be gathered, and the defense of the village was temporarily handed over to the militia forces.

Li Liguo climbed the wooden wall, looked at the enemies lined up hundreds of meters away, and half of his heart was relieved.

There are quite a few people on the other side, crowds of people, and all of them are holding weapons, but these people all have a common characteristic, wearing yellow scarves and only ordinary sackcloth!

Moreover, the crooked phalanx on the opposite side is also easy to see, these people are at most some desperate rabble, and there are even many peasants who have just taken up arms!

What made Li Liguo care was a few simple trebuchets placed in front of many Yellow Turban soldiers, and the trebuchets were full of flammable dry branches and leaves, and they were tied together with rattan, which looked like weapons used to ignite wooden buildings!

Li Liguo looked at the wooden wall under his feet and the thatched hut behind him, if the simple catapults on the opposite side really threw a few burning fireballs in, a few people would not be injured, but this fire may easily burn!

The air is very dry in the current season, so it's much easier to light a fire!

Perhaps, the leader of the other party also knew that this huge amount of cannon fodder alone might not be able to rush into the village protected by wooden walls, and prepared catapults to deter himself......

"General Li, I'm here." Wang Zhong was driven by a Greek hoplite at a trot.

"Steward Wang, do you know the army on the other side?"

Wang Zhong looked at it, he was really an acquaintance!

"General Qiyu, the leader of this gang of thieves calls himself the Generalissimo of the Heavenly Master, and he is the more famous marauder in this rookie forest, oh, no, he is far inferior to you, the general."

"Don't talk about these useless things, just talk about the topic, what is the strength of the other party? What did I do with you before? ”

Wang Zhong swallowed his saliva, and then said: "This marauder especially likes to plunder the population to enrich his army, and the development path he takes is also a crowd tactic, and he seems to be engaged in religious worship in his own army, constantly brainwashing the soldiers under his command, therefore, although the vast majority of the soldiers he collected are rabble, but with the support of religious brainwashing education, they still dare to rush and fight."

Of course, these peasant-born Yellow Turban soldiers were very weak when it came to attacking the city, because they didn't know how to attack the town, and they were often hit by condescending arrows and suffered heavy casualties!

This is also the reason why this Generalissimo of the Heavenly Master once claimed to be tens of thousands of horses, but there was nothing he could do about the territory of the pioneers above the knight realm!

In order to deal with us ordinary pioneer villages, the Generalissimo learned to make improvised catapults, throw fire-starters, and attack wooden walls with fire, plus the large number of Yellow Turban soldiers with torches, this Generalissimo of the Celestial Master is a disaster for the pioneer village! ”

Li Liguo said to Wang Zhong with a smile: "Therefore, in order to maintain the ration consumption of his own soldiers, this generalissimo of the Heavenly Master keeps you pioneer small villages and regularly comes to ask for grain and grass. ”

"Yes, the general is really wise, and he can guess it! It's just that the Generalissimo of the Heavenly Master caused the anger of the pioneers a few months ago because of his practices, and was defeated by several knight-level pioneers who joined forces to send troops, but I didn't expect that in such a short period of time, this Generalissimo of the Heavenly Master regathered thousands of people! ”

"Oh? Why are you so sure that this is the Generalissimo of the Celestial Master you call it, and not the newly rising Marauder? ”

Wang Zhong glanced at Li Liguo, who was smiling, and after seeing that he was in a good mood, he opened his mouth and confessed: "The banner of the Generalissimo of the Heavenly Master is very unique, and the flags below are the symbols of the Generalissimo of the Generalissimo, and ~ General Li, do you think the survival rate of the marauders is very high?" ”

The smile on Li Liguo's face disappeared completely, but he didn't expect that even the steward of a pioneer village understood the characteristics of the high elimination rate of the marauders, and he had only experienced two battle copies, and he had always been assigned to the side of the victor, if he was assigned to the side of the defeated in the future......

Li Liguo remembered the devastating charge of the Athenian hoplites, and if he had been with the Persians at that time, he would not have been able to get up a bubble if he had filled up with his own men......

Li Liguo once again felt a familiar sense of crisis!

"Wang Zhong, you keep talking!"

"Presumably, General Li has not experienced many battle copies, so the difficulty is not too great, as far as I know, although the marauders have increased their combat power extremely quickly, the mortality rate is extremely high, especially the rookie marauders, few of them can survive more than a year!

And the marauders who survive the past year often become overlords, even sweeping through the entire novice forest to the vast plains to build an empire!

As for this Generalissimo of the Celestial Master, the reason why I am so sure that he is still alive is because he is different from you ordinary marauders, it is no secret, when the Generalissimo of the Celestial Master was defeated, the entire alliance of pioneers spread. ”

"What's different about him?" Li Liguo said curiously.
