Warring States Eagle

In Zhengliang's small mud-wooden hut, the atmosphere was solemn at this moment.

After listening to Zheng Liang's detailed narration, everyone else in the hut fell into deep thought.

"Your Highness, it's still Cage City. The current Ashgaru in the territory has just trained for a while, and it's obviously not an opponent to face the bandits head-on," Onishi Guozhi said first.

"What? Cage City? We must never give in to the bandits. This is the homeland we have built with our blood and sweat. Now the population of the territory has increased greatly, and the food has been temporarily resolved. Why can't we fight in the field? If we give up here, there are still What face is there to live? It’s better to die! I firmly demand to face the bandits head-on.” As soon as Tsuda Hiromune heard about the cage city, he immediately expressed his opinion emotionally.

"Lord Guangzong, the cage city does not mean giving up. We can use the terrain of the village to organize the people to rush to work overnight, build a simple small town, and use the terrain to block bandits. Once they are unable to attack for a long time, they will retreat." Daxi Guozhi argued.

"Well, the cage city is also a solution. Although it will bring turmoil to the people who have finally settled down in the territory, as long as the bandits retreat, it can be restored quickly." Togo Heiji also agrees with this relatively conservative method.

"No. What if the bandits come back soon after retreating? What if they even adopt the methods they used to deal with us, constantly harassing us and destroying our fields? Are we going to be shrinking turtles like before? Looking at the grainless fields And then people continue to starve to death? Or are the people forced to relocate?" Tsuda Hiromune seemed to be a different person, asking several questions at once.

"This..." Togo Heiji and Onishi Kuniji looked at each other, and they both saw helplessness in each other's eyes.

"Bang bang bang", Zheng Liang tapped the tatami under him with the back of the Tairen knife, and the other three looked up at Zheng Liang.

"We can even kill wild boars. Are bandits more ferocious than wild boars?" Zheng Liang glanced at the three of them and asked calmly and slightly mockingly.Both Togo Heiji and Onishi Kuniji are more than defending the city and not aggressive enough, so Zhengliang also wants to take this opportunity to beat them.

"Yes! We can even eliminate wild boar herds, we are not afraid of these bandits at all," Tsuda Hiromune patted his bald head and immediately echoed.

"The people who are about to attack us now should be Oishi Yeji's people. According to the information provided by the captives, they are less than 30 people at most. Now we have 40 ashigaru in our territory. Although the training time is not long, with these ferocious people There is still a big gap between the bandits, but the combined combat effectiveness will be stronger than the bandits fighting alone." Zhengliang is very confident in the ashigaru he trained with his own hands, especially after the battle with the wild boars. after baptism.

"Your Highness, I am willing to be the vanguard to kill the bandits." After the morning's battle, Tsuda Hiromune was full of confidence, feeling that he could eliminate as many bandits as they came.

"No, Guangzong", feeling that this bald man is sometimes too impulsive and will only go on a rampage, Zheng Liang has a headache, "Ming Guoyu says that if you can outsmart, don't fight hard, we have to save ourselves Destroy the enemy with the strength of your power.”

"Then...Your Highness, what should we do?" Dongxiang Heiji has witnessed the miracles created by this son-in-law several times, and now that Zhengliang is so calm, he simply plans to completely obey the lord's orders, anyway, in the end Even if he lost to the bandits, he had to fight for his life, but he still had to buy time for his wife, daughter and son-in-law to escape.

"Well, tell me about the topography of the village leading to the bandit's cottage," Zheng Liang thought for a while, then asked.

"Your Highness, to the east of the village, the woods facing Ye Gaoshan may become the place for bandits to invade the village. However, due to the complex terrain of these forests and lush vegetation, bandits will basically invade the village through two roads. One road is directly opposite the school grounds. In the past, most of the bandits attacked the village from the front; the other path was the upper reaches of the creek flowing in front of the village. The bandits could attack us along the woods beside the stream. Last time the bandits came through It attacked us at night and caught us off guard," said Togo Heiji with a sad face.The village was indeed badly damaged that night.

"I have a plan." After hearing Togo Heiji's words, Zheng Liang frowned and thought for a while, then said.

Zheng Liang glanced at the three people in front of him, all three of them were looking at Zheng Liang at the moment, waiting for him to issue an order. "Guozhi, gather the territory personnel, and under the leadership of the old hunter, set traps in the deep forest of the two passages and on the road. Well, give priority to setting the woods by the creek, and set a trap belt with a minimum length of 1000 steps along the creek. , Dig more pits on the ground, stick them full of bamboo sticks; put some wooden stakes and wooden spears on the trees; we will let the bandits who step into the trap area have no way to heaven and no way to enter the earth."

"Yes, Your Highness." Onishi Guozhi felt that the Lord Lord's sentence "There is no way to go to heaven, and there is no way to go to earth" is too appropriate. Thinking about the forest full of traps, I feel chills.

"Oh, yes," Zheng Liang suddenly remembered something, and immediately added, "Leave some safe roads and safe areas in these trap areas, so that all archers and old hunters will know these roads and areas by heart. They will be responsible for stopping the bandits there. At the same time, they will arrange some smarter citizens to closely monitor the bandits' movements."

"Yes, Your Highness", Onishi Guozhi suddenly felt full of confidence in defeating the bandits.

"Heiji, after you assist Guozhi to set up traps, immediately organize the leaders to pack up valuables and gather them in the center of the village. Once you receive my order, immediately lead the leaders to retreat in the direction of Yunoo Castle." Although he is full of confidence in winning, but Also be prepared to fail.

"Your Highness?" Dongxiang Heiji became anxious when he heard it.He has made up his mind to follow Zheng Liang, and if something happens, he will stay in charge and buy time for his family.

"Stop arguing, Heiji. This is an order, and these are our relatives. The Ashgaru people can only fight with peace of mind when they know that their relatives are safe." Masaragi's tone suddenly became quite serious.

"This...yes, Your Highness," Togo Heiji also knew that what Masara said was right, so he had no choice but to agree.

"Guangzong, gather the spears and ashigaru to the school grounds. I want to tell them the news that the bandits are not coming." Time is running out."

"Yes, Your Highness," the three of them bowed to accept the order and left.

As the assembly order sounded, 29 spear ashigaru and 11 archer ashigaru in the territory soon assembled in the school grounds.Zhengliang walked slowly to the small high platform of the school ground, scanned the team in front of him, and then shouted, "Everyone, bandits have destroyed our home several times and slaughtered our relatives. Now they are coming again, more than 10 bandits Machiko is about to attack us."

As soon as the ashigaru in the audience heard that the bandit was coming, they immediately let out a groan, then quickly quieted down, and turned to look up at their lord.Seeing that the ashigaru and others quieted down so quickly, Zheng Liang was very satisfied. The training during this period was not in vain.

"So, will we still be the same as before?" Zheng Liang continued, "will we still be massacred by them like before? Will we let them bully our relatives like before? Look behind you, Ashigaru Guys, tell me, what are you training so hard for?" Zheng Liang asked loudly, pointing his right hand at the gradually gathering crowd of onlookers.

The ashigaru people turned their heads to look at the crowd around them, where they had their wives and children, and their own neighbors... Seeing their frightened and expectant eyes, the ashigaru people suddenly burst into excitement, "Kill the bandit ", someone in the ashigaru group suddenly shouted.

"Kill the bandit! Kill the bandit!" As soon as the words came out, it seemed that the mountain torrent had found a mouthful, and all the ashigaru immediately shouted.

"Speak up, don't you just keep your voice down?" Zheng Liang shouted at the foot light in front of him.

"Kill the bandit! Kill the bandit!" At this time, not only the ashigaru in the audience but also the surrounding crowd shouted.

Looking at the turbulent citizens in front of him, Zheng Liang suddenly felt a sense of pride.Gently raised his right hand to signal everyone to be quiet.

After the crowd gradually quieted down, Zheng Liang continued, "Actually, are more than 10 bandits scary?" Zheng Liang glanced at the ashigaru team in front of him while observing their expressions.

"Could bandits be more ferocious than wild boars? No, obviously wild boars are much more ferocious. But what did we do just now? We just killed a group of 20 wild boars." A wild boar head on the edge of the platform is the biggest wild boar head.

The wild boar's head flew several meters away, then rolled on the ground several times with a grunt, and finally stopped.It immediately caused a chuckle.

"So, do you think bandits are scary?" Zheng Liang asked loudly.

"Not scary! Not scary!", the ashigaru responded loudly.

"Very good, next we have to intensify our training, so that these damn bandits can never go back like wild boars. Let them pay with blood!" Zheng Liang was once again satisfied with the morale of the team.

"Blood debts, blood debts! Blood debts, blood debts!", the ashigaru raised their weapons and shouted loudly.
