After the first trebuchet showed its amazing power, Old Man Xu was even more anxious than Xu Chuan, and he began to gather the guards and carpenters in the three areas.

The Xu family still has some prestige in the Sanzhi area, mainly because the farm tools and knives built by the Xu family are of good quality.

Moreover, many of the weapons used by these guards in the Sanzhi Zone came from the Xu family.

Well, Mr. Xu provided it for free.

Of course, the corresponding materials still have to be prepared by yourself.

But even so, it makes many people grateful to Dade in their hearts.

So Old Man Xu personally summoned it, and it didn't take long for hundreds of people to be gathered.

Hundreds of strong men gathered from all over the Sanzhi area, and the black pressure occupied the entire threshing floor, and the crowd was like bees, buzzing with various sounds, making Xu Chuanzhi frown.

Especially when Mr. Xu began to show the simple trebuchet, the threshing floor was like an explosion, and there was a lot of noise.

The guards, the guards, said that they were protecting the army in the three areas, but judging from the performance in front of them, these five big and three rough men probably have never regarded themselves as armies.

But discipline is the soul of an army, and without a soul, no matter how many people there are, no matter how strong their individual combat ability is, they are just a group of rabble.

This is not what he said, but the truth that has been tested and summed up by countless wars in later generations.

Xu Chuan originally thought that these guards in the Sanzhi Zone would have some discipline under the long-term confrontation experience with the bandits, but now it seems that he thinks too much.

But looking back, he felt that he couldn't ask too much.

After all, these guards themselves were peasants, and they had not undergone rigorous training like the armies of other countries, and when there were bandits, they took weapons to fight the bandits, and when there were no bandits, they were the leaders of the fields.

It seems that if you want to rely on these guards to fight against the bandits and protect the Sanzhi area, you can't just get a trebuchet out.

After all, there are still big flaws in this kind of thing, and it is impossible to rely on this alone to eliminate all the bandits.

This thing has suffered a loss, and no one will suffer a second loss.

It's a big deal to bypass the rocky hill and enter the three-regardless zone from other places.

As soon as you get close, the trebuchet is almost useless.

At that time, with these guards in front of me, I am afraid that there will not be much difference when facing the bandits and before.

Thinking of this, Xu Chuan began to have a headache again.

Now that he has crossed over here and can't go back, then his fate has been tied to the Xu family and the entire Sanzhi area.

If he doesn't want to be suddenly robbed or killed by bandits one day, then he has to find a way to make the entire Sanzhi area have a certain ability to protect himself.

And in this troubled era, the best ability to protect oneself is to have soldiers and an army in hand.

Xu Chuan never thought of competing for hegemony in the world, after all, no matter what the three belts, these tens of thousands of people, even if all the people are soldiers, they are a fart in front of the three major countries of Wu, Chu, and Zhao.

You must know that the most economically developed and most populous Chu State now has a population of more than 50 million, and no matter how many tens of thousands of people are in the area, even a fraction of the people are not enough.

All he was thinking about was how to fight those bandits and save his life, and the lessons of his neighbors and guards were in front of him.

Of course, if you can, then it would be better to improve your life a little more.

For example, salt, soap, and toothpaste are definitely good to be able to get out, and they can make life a lot more comfortable.

It's just that these small things that look inconspicuous in modern times, in this era, are all magical things, with huge profits, if you don't have a strong ability to protect, I'm afraid you will have to throw your corpse into the wilderness the next day after exposure.

In this era, there is no difference between human life and dog life, especially for those bandits and robbers, killing a person is almost the same as killing a chicken.

......

Leaving behind the old man and uncle Xu Sanxi who were still in the crowd, Xu Chuan returned to Xu's house alone.

As he walked, he pondered how to make the guards stronger.

For now, trebuchets should be able to deal with one or two or three or four bandit attacks.

However, it is not realistic to rely solely on trebuchets for long-term protection, and in the end, it is still people-oriented.

On the one hand, the bandits are not stupid, and it is impossible to smash them for you every time, on the other hand, because of the special area, the number of bandits entrenched in the three areas is too much.

It is said that it is a bandit, but who has seen a den of bandits with thousands of people, or even three or four thousand people?

Maybe it has been filmed in the TV series, but in fact, there are so many bandits that can't be called bandits.

It is more appropriate to call them 'rogues' or 'rebels'.

Moreover, there is more than one bandit den with more than 1,000 people in the Sanzhi area, and there are several large and small.

In addition to that, there are also those hundreds, dozens of 'normal bandits' who are also entrenched here.

Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for so many bandits to remain in one place.

Because they can't afford to make offerings.

But the reality is more magical after all, and the three regardless of the zone is the junction of the three kingdoms of Wu, Chu and Zhao.

And because of the special terrain, the caravan of the three major countries, no matter which country it departs from to which country, the fastest, easiest and most convenient route is to take the three regardless of the zone.

The robbery of caravans, the robbery of the border counties of the three major countries, and the fact that there is also a town that has been accumulating over time, and the food security provided by the hard work of tens of thousands of residents in the town has formed this strange situation today.

If you want to keep yourself safe in such an environment, you must have the strength to fight the bandits.

.......

After thinking about it, Xu Chuan thought of a few ideas.

The first is the professionalization of the guards.

The army is the army, the people are the people, and the army should be separated from the people at the level of attributes.

The current guards are soldiers when there are bandits, and farmers when there are no bandits.

This is completely no-go.

Although he has not seen the modern army, he still has some understanding of the Internet age.

There is a classic example of this kind of thing in the previous life, an ace army was planted behind the land and planted into a third-rate army, this kind of thing is really regrettable.

Therefore, the army is the army, and it has to be separated from the ordinary people who farm the land.

The second is discipline, and it is not realistic to have the guards do what they order and prohibit, just like the modern army, at least not for a short time.

But discipline, even a little bit is better than nothing.

For example, if the trebuchet is really used in the battle against the bandits, who is responsible for turning the winch, who is responsible for cutting ropes, and who is responsible for collecting stones.

Judging from what I have just seen, when it is really time to fight, it will definitely be chaotic.

Thinking all the way, before I knew it, Xu Chuan had returned to Xu's house, pushed open the door, and a small figure almost crashed into his arms.

When I looked closely, it was Qi Xiaoyun, the little maid in his courtyard.
