Chapter 20 The third-level village and preparations for war

With a bang, Xia Village's territory expanded outwards, rising from a second-level village to a third-level village. An earth wall about 1.5 meters high appeared outside the village. There was also a wooden fence outside the earth wall.

Xiacun has officially transformed from a small and medium-sized village into a large village.

After Xiacun was upgraded to a third-level village, several missing buildings were added, and it began to develop in the direction of the town. At the same time, earth walls were used as fortifications. The earth walls were the prototype of future city walls.

The Lord's Mansion where Chu Tian lived has finally changed a lot. The Lord's Mansion has been transformed from a wooden house to a stone house with green tiles. It finally looks a bit grand.

Now he manages a population of 800 people. Most of the lords are still struggling in the second-level villages. Some lords may not even be able to upgrade the first-level villages to the second level because the villages are destroyed because of rogue bandits and wild beasts.

The Lord's Mansion is divided into the front yard, the stone monument, and the backyard. The front yard is naturally the place where offices and village affairs are handled. The stone monument is the core of Xia Village. If the stone monument is destroyed, the entire territory will be abandoned. The backyard is where Chutian lives.

"Build two wooden arrow towers at the entrance of the village, and build a wooden arrow tower in each of the other three directions except the entrance of the village as a sentry tower."

Chutian arranged labor to build the wooden arrow tower, which required a large amount of wood.

Yixia Village's timber reserves are completely insufficient, but Chutian has entrusted a trading firm in Xiaozhu Village to collect timber from nearby villages.

A team of commercial horses arrived from Xiaozhu Village, continuously transporting wood. Coupled with Xia Cun's massive labor force mining, the wood was finally enough.

Carpenters are busy building wooden arrow towers with their labor. Carpenters are also special talents. In ancient times, craftsmen were not killed when they slaughtered the city, because craftsmen had a wide range of uses.

Hunters in Xia Village can set hunting traps around the village. Once the Yellow Turban soldiers step on the trap, they may be injured or killed directly.

Zhao Qi reported the progress to Chutian: "Except for the fact that no traps were set at the entrance of the village to ensure the entry and exit of people and goods, 253 traps have been set outside the earthen wall."

"Make a note of the locations of these hunting traps. In the past month or two, all villagers have been prohibited from approaching the earthen wall, and they can only enter and exit through the village entrance. Wait until the Yellow Turbans are resolved before clearing these hunting traps. Lead people to set up more traps, the more the better.

"

"yes."

Zhao Qi took the hunters and laid a trap near the earth wall.

The advantage of hunting traps is that you don't need to expend resources, just labor, but the disadvantage is that you can't set up traps at the entrance of the village... and as long as the Yellow Turban army concentrates on attacking a certain place, they can use the human sea tactic to destroy the traps there.

Hua Mulan trains the elite infantry of Xia Village at the secondary school. A group of infantry uses long spears, broadswords or iron swords as weapons. A few infantry have changed into scarce leather armor, but most of the infantry are still clothed in civilian clothes.

For the recruited soldiers, long-term training and battles can improve their level and gradually become a warrior capable of hundreds of battles.

Hua Mulan's level has been raised from level 30 to level 32 because she killed many Yellow Turban soldiers and rebel princes. Her current commander is 72 and her force is 82, which can bring higher bonuses.

"Weapons are not unified and there is not enough armor."

Hua Mulan mentioned the current situation of the first guard in Xia Village, with a worried look on her face.

"I have ordered the blacksmith shop and wood processing shop to create a spear and a wooden shield for each infantryman, and the armor shop to create a pair of leather armor. As for the uniform sabers and bows, we will consider them later."

Chutian is actively preparing for war. The material of the leather armor is wild boar skin that can be obtained through hunting. As for the weapons of the infantry, Chutian's first choice is the spear. A group of soldiers holding spears form a square formation, which has the effect of a spear formation.

Hua Mulan was training the Xia Village infantry, and Chu Tian sent two light cavalry to investigate outside the village.

"Village Chief."

Chutian was walking on the dirt road in the village and saw a group of villagers driving their pigs to the pig farm.

Xia Cun has been zoned in a planned way.

Xiacun is divided into seven districts, residential area, market area, barracks area, administrative area, workshop area, resource area, and reserved land.

The buildings in the residential areas are private houses, and the houses are mainly wooden houses. The number of thatched houses has begun to decrease, and a small number of stone houses have begun to appear. Chutian does not need to care about the villagers' houses. When the villagers have money, they will naturally find ways to renovate their houses.

We can't let the lord worry about which house each villager lives in...

There are taverns, agricultural markets, medical clinics, private schools, earth temples, and tailor shops in Shifang District.

The administrative district has a lord's palace, a granary, and an arsenal.

The barracks area has a first-level cavalry battalion and a second-level infantry battalion.

The workshop area includes a blacksmith shop, armor shop, wood processing room, flour mill, and celadon factory.

The resource area includes farmland, mines, lumberyards, orchards, fish ponds, pig farms, and chicken farms.

The reserved land is reserved for the construction of new buildings and for selling the land for money in the future. As long as the summer village develops into a town, the land price will increase.

As the population and buildings of Xia Cun gradually increased, the development of Xia Cun gradually got on the right track.

Now Xia Cun has built a thatched cottage, which can recruit 50 children and can also improve the cultural efficiency of the territory. Chutian selected a teacher from among the refugees and asked him to serve as the teacher of the thatched cottage. Moreover, the thatched cottage has hidden effects.

When children become adults, their four-dimensional attributes are higher than those of ordinary villagers.

The aroma of rice wine comes from the tavern. The backyard of the tavern is where wine is brewed, and the rice wine produced can also be sold to other villages.

"drive!"

A Xia Cun light cavalry galloped on the dirt road in the countryside, raising mud and dust.

The cavalry broke into the village entrance, and the villagers coming in and out looked at the cavalry in Xia Village in surprise.

The cavalryman turned over and dismounted, looking nervously at Chu Tian: "Village chief, a large number of Yellow Turban troops appeared outside the village, and some villages have been looted!"

"Drive all the livestock back to the village, and gather all the village warriors to prepare for a decisive battle with the Yellow Turban Army attacking the village!"

Chu Tian was facing a formidable enemy. The Yellow Turban Army this time was no better than the sixty Yellow Turban Soldiers last time, and they were of a higher level.
