On the fifth day, Hanjiang Village underwent tremendous changes. The original high wooden wall was replaced with one made of earth and stones, ten meters high. It was located at the narrow part of Hulukou, blocking the Hulu Valley behind.
Inside the city wall, there are watchtowers, sentry posts, and small beacon towers.
The beacon fire is lit here and can be seen by the entire Hanjiang Village.
This is the effect of a low-level city wall.
【Low-level city wall】
Attribute: Low-level fortifications
Level: 1
Function: Increases soldiers' combat power by 20% and defense power by 10,000. Defense power increases by 1,000 for each level up.
Not bad, 10,000 defense is the basis, and the defense is calculated based on 10,000 ordinary soldiers attacking at the same time for one hour.
The previous stronghold had high walls and limited defense. Facing an attack by several thousand people, it would take less than half an hour to break through. Now that the wall is complete, this place has become a fortress that cannot be broken through without a siege of five times the number of troops.
In addition, Hulu Pass is not big, and there is a tributary of Lujiang River in front. If you want to break through here, it will be difficult unless a large army is besieging it and filling it with lives. Otherwise, it will be difficult to break through.
Lin Han was very satisfied with this city wall.
Looking down from a high vantage point at the Lujiang River tributary ahead, Lin Han felt a surge of lofty ambition. Suddenly, a team ahead startled Lin Han, who was still in his reverie, and instantly sobered up.
"Sir, this is bad. Soldiers are coming to attack the village."
"How many people?"
"About five thousand soldiers." The bandit spy reported.
The soldiers are coming to attack the village!
Lin Han immediately ordered people to light the beacon fire on the city wall. For a moment, there was a loud sound in the village, and the bandits who were training on the training ground all gathered towards the open space under the city wall.
During the training, Lin Han strictly instructed that once the beacon fires were lit and the horns sounded, everyone must gather at the city gate.
Although there was some chaos during the first assembly, it was soon calmed down. Three thousand soldiers were lined up neatly at the entrance of the village, looking like the prototype of an army.
"My Lord."
Dian Wei immediately went up to the city wall and looked at the troops rolling towards the other side of the river.
"Ada, take one hundred sword soldiers to patrol the village. Anyone who tries to take advantage of the opportunity to cause chaos will be killed without mercy. The rest of the people will be divided into a mixed group of swordsmen and archers. Aying, lead a thousand soldiers to defend the city walls. The archers will be the first priority. The others will remain on standby and provide support at any time."
"Yes, sir."
Ada led his troops away.
Aying waved his hand and led a thousand soldiers of the left army to the city wall.
The city walls were still too small to accommodate three thousand men fighting at the same time, but it was also a restriction for the enemy.
The road leading into the village is only fifty meters wide and funnel-shaped. The Lujiang River tributary is only sixty meters away from the entrance of the village, forming a natural barrier.
"Brother, you go down and lead the troops. If the enemy is defeated, I will order the city gates to be opened, and you will lead the troops out to expand the victory."
"Okay, I'll go."
Dian Wei jumped down from the city wall with a double halberd in his hands.
…
Behind the arriving government troops, Yang Tianyu and Yang Tianyun looked at Hanjiang Village from afar, with more worry between their brows.
Five thousand soldiers may seem like a lot, but they are not sure if they can successfully attack Hanjiang Village.
In order to persuade the county magistrate to send troops to suppress the bandits, they spent a lot of money, including 50 taels of gold as bribes, and finally persuaded the 5,000 defenders of Wan County to leave the city and suppress the bandits.
"Brother, do you think these five thousand soldiers can capture Hanjiang Village?"
"I don't know." Yang Tianyu shook his head and said, "Hanjiang Village seems to have just built a city wall, which is a natural barrier. They have more than 2,000 soldiers and horses, so it would be difficult to break through with 5,000 people."
"Wouldn't our money be wasted then?"
"What can you do?" Yang Tianyu asked depressedly.
The county lieutenant in front of him led his troops and stopped in front of the river. When he saw the walls of Hanjiang Village and the bandits, he was shocked.
"When did such a large bandit camp appear here?"
Looking around, an officer stepped forward and said, "Sir, the county lieutenant has been plagued recently. After Huang Rang's uprising, banditry has broken out all around Lujiang County, and this place is one of them. I never thought it would grow so quickly."
"What bastards! These bandits thought we were so busy dealing with the Huang Rang thief that we had no time to worry about anything else. How could they grow to such a size? It's outrageous."
County Lieutenant Wang Hai snorted coldly, rode his horse forward, and looked at each other across the water.
"Bandits in the mountains, quickly open the gates and surrender, and I will spare your lives. Otherwise, I will destroy the stronghold and leave your bodies exposed in the wilderness."
“…”
It's an old-fashioned way of making people surrender and threatening them right away.
Lin Han ignored it.
But his eyes were on the county lieutenant who was leading the army.
Character: Wang Hai
Position: County Lieutenant
force:?
intelligence:?
constitution:?
Command:?
politics:?
charm:?
talent:?
Kung Fu:?
Supernatural power:?
Can't see the strength attributes clearly.
The attributes of characters who do not submit cannot be clearly seen, which brings uncertainty to the game.
Judging from his momentum alone, he was confident that he could kill the county lieutenant in a one-on-one fight without Dian Wei.
"General, since I established Hanjiang Village, I have neither robbed the civilians nor killed innocent people. Why do you come to attack me?" Lin Han took out a homemade simple loudspeaker and shouted to the government troops.
"You bandits, you have brought disaster to the area, yet you dare to claim innocence? Come out and receive your death."
"Then come up. My head is here, waiting for you to take it."
"I'm so angry! All my men, listen up! Cross the river and kill them!"
Wang Hai, holding a spear, rushed across the wooden bridge first, followed by five thousand soldiers and horses, coming with great momentum.
"Sir, do you want to attack now?" Aying was eager to try.
"No, attack them halfway across the bridge. Wait until their vanguard crosses the center of the bridge, then unleash a barrage of bow fire, forcing the enemy to be caught in a dilemma."
"Aying, I obey your orders."
