"Lao Liu, it's a good time to go down the mountain this time!"
"They actually grabbed so much food. Which rich family does it belong to?"
The one-eyed dragon, the head of Erlong Mountain, asked a person below.
This time down the mountain.
There was no intention to rob anything, the main purpose was to demonstrate and seize territory.
After wandering around the area, they went further afield, which delayed their return to the mountain.
Unexpected.
But on the road, I met a group of people pulling two carts of grain.
He snatched it back immediately.
"Brother, this was intercepted on the road, probably in the villages between the Donghuai River and Xiliu River."
The old man took a step forward and said.
"Um?"
"I can't tell. There are some ways to do this in these villages. Let's get them mature first."
"There has been a lot of trouble lately, so I tell my brothers to put their best moves into action."
"Pay attention to the situation over at Qinglong Cave."
The one-eyed dragon gave instructions to the people below.
Everyone responded in unison.
…
Hejian Village is located between the Donghuai River and Xiliu River.
Backed by mountains.
Entering and exiting the village depends on several paths and wooden bridges.
In previous years when there was a lot of water, the wooden bridge would be submerged by the river water.
No one has repaired it for years.
These wooden bridges have long been severely eroded by the river water, and they are broken and cracked.
Fortunately, the river was covered with ice, almost like flat ground.
The wooden bridge has lost its function.
We walked around Hejian Village.
Zhang Bao was very disappointed.
Except for the mountain behind the village, the other three sides of Hejian Village are unobstructed.
There is a large forest at the entrance of the village, surrounded by empty farmland.
There is no resistance at all.
Even if the bridge is broken.
Bandits can still rush in from the ice.
According to Zhang Bao's idea, he wanted to create a certain distance outside the village, so that the bandits would not be able to enter.
Now it seems that it is simply impossible.
Zhang Bao had no choice but to give up this idea.
First, someone found a relatively tall tree in the woods at the entrance of the village.
Let the villagers work in teams of two and watch the movements outside the village from the trees.
Once you find out about the bandits, come back and send a message immediately.
In addition, let everyone dig tunnels inside their homes.
According to Zhang Bao's plan, there are currently relatively few men in the village. If we really fight hard,
That is definitely unrealistic.
So Zhang Bao wanted to follow the previous tunnel battle method in the village.
Connect the whole village.
Although it is the twelfth lunar month of winter, the ground is frozen very hard.
But if the entire village could be dug underground, it would be a long-term hiding place.
Moreover, the current villagers have not received systematic training.
If after systematic training.
You can also attack from inside.
This method of tunnel warfare allows you to hide and fight at the same time.
It was obtained through the practice of so many heroes before.
But the current speed of tunnel excavation is relatively slow.
Zhang Bao and the others could only dig while they were there.
Train at the same time.
Zhang Bao divided the people in the village into three parts according to their situation.
Among all the adult men, twenty-four who were relatively strong were selected.
Let Lao He take him for training.
After all, Lao He was born in the military.
I still have great experience in training soldiers.
The remaining men, along with the stronger women, specialize in practicing bows and arrows.
In the current village.
There are many women who are very strong.
There is no problem in drawing this kind of bow and arrow.
Li Daniu had successfully made several bows and arrows before. After Hu Dugu's improvements, the current bows and arrows are almost mature.
The technical requirements for crossbows are relatively high, and it is still relatively difficult to make.
Therefore, we can only make a batch of bows and arrows like this for shooting practice.
For Zhang Bao.
Most of the people in the village now have not experienced systematic training.
Not to mention any effort.
If they were allowed to directly fight head-on with the bandits.
It will definitely cause a lot of losses.
If they use bows and arrows to block them, their losses can be minimized.
This group of people was handed over to Li Daniu.
Let Li Daniu teach them how to shoot arrows.
The nearest Li Daniu was lame and his feet were too busy to touch the ground.
When he was injured, Li Daniu could say that he was living like an emperor at home.
When I got my clothes, I stretched out my hands and opened my mouth.
But suddenly.
Many people poured into the house, holding various strange-shaped bows and arrows they had made.
Let Li Daniu verify it for them.
Li Daniu was so tired that he almost vomited blood.
Throughout the whole day, there was no one in the house.
And even in the middle of the night.
There was still a knock on the door.
no way.
Zhang Bao said before that a bow and arrow are worth a penny.
No one can have trouble with themselves when it comes to making money.
So.
When the news about Zhang Bao came down.
Almost everyone in the village headed towards the mountain.
Choosing the right branches and items, working day and night on making bows and arrows, the number of bows and arrows in the whole village also increased rapidly.
And the rest of the children.
Their number is also very large.
Zhang Bao arranged for them to go to the mountains and nearby areas to collect stones and firewood.
And the remaining people in the village.
They were all under the tutelage of Hudugu.
Tunnel excavation is ongoing in the village.
Zhang Bao prepared to use the excavated soil to build a wall at the entrance of the village.
Surround the whole village.
before this.
Zhang Bao asked Hu Dugu to take a few people and set off in the middle of the night to the county government and bought a lot of food and daily supplies.
He also dug up the horse meat.
Taking advantage of the night, they returned to the village.
When he saw the horse meat, Zhang Bao shivered with pain.
He didn't expect it.
Now something happened so quickly.
If these horses had been retained at that time, they would have been a great help now.
What a shame!
Plans are not as fast as changes.
But there is no way, the horse cannot come back to life.
I can only look forward to the opportunity to snatch some horses from the bandits later.
Under Zhang Bao's leadership, the whole village became busy.
