Farming in space: the struggle of peasant girls

Chapter 249 Chapter 249
Wu Zhendao: "It is not difficult to deal with stragglers with less than a thousand people, but once the number exceeds ten thousand, it is not so easy to deal with."

Why didn't Mu Yu know this, once the number of enemies increased, the casualties of one's own troops were still within the tolerable range, and Yuanshan Town was doomed to suffer disaster.

The army in Huangsha City is barely enough to protect itself, and it is impossible to protect Yuanshan Town.

But it is also impossible for her to watch Yuanshan Town being destroyed by bandits.

She pressed the center of her eyebrows, and sighed, "Now our advantage is to make good use of the time when the bandits have not yet arrived in large numbers, clean them up as much as possible, and weaken their group strength."

"Don't worry, the situation may not be so bad, and what these prisoners know may not be true."

Wu Zhen said so.

After Wuzhen went back, he asked one of his confidantes to take 50 people to Yuanshan Town, so that Yuanshan Town could prepare early. When criticizing bandits, they have some ability to protect themselves.

In addition, the training of recruits was also started in Huangsha City. On the basis of the original [-] soldiers, nearly [-] recruits were recruited.

He is sure to turn these recruits into qualified fighters within a month.

Now Huangsha City doesn’t lack anything, the weapons and equipment are good enough, and they have good tactical command bonuses. When facing the same number of bandits as above, they can defeat the bandits with minimal damage. Achieve a harmless victory.

It can be said that as long as they don't face too many bandits at one time, they can win.

This can be done in the early stage, but it can't be done in the later stage when there are more bandits.

It's not completely helpless, half of the more than 90 bandits were captured this time, and many more will be captured in succession in the future. If those who make trouble among these people are dealt with, most of the captives can be used by Huangsha City.

In this way, as long as enough bandits are captured in the early stage, they will have the strength to fight against the bandits in the later stage.

Thinking this way, Wu Zhen ordered people to speed up the training of recruits, and at the same time ordered people to patrol outside the city to ambush the bandits.

Not only Wuzhen has countermeasures, but Muyu is not idle either.

She asked people to find captives, promised them benefits, and asked them to persuade people they knew among the bandits to surrender, and take the initiative to seek refuge in Huangsha City. The more people who surrender, the more benefits they can get.

In addition, let people lead this group of prisoners to know what the people of Huangsha City are living now, and tell them that as long as they work hard for Huangsha City, they can also live like this in the future.

This fundamentally shakes the will of the captives.

In this era, most people become soldiers not to serve the court, but just to survive.

Most of the low-level soldiers in the army are not doing well. They don't have good weapons, good equipment, good rations, or even enough food. They may die on the battlefield at any time. Most people just want to live , I just want to live a better life.

Just like these bandits who don't want to continue to serve their new masters, they escaped just to seek another way of survival and a better life, but they couldn't do this through legal means, and they didn't have this awareness. That's why they robbed towns and went farther and farther on the road of doing evil...

If someone violently stopped them in the first place and gave them another better way out, who would stay in the dark with a dead end?
So many captives agreed to come down one after another, and left voluntarily to find other bandits.

Other captives who performed well were assigned to work in teams in Huangsha City, and prisoners who performed poorly were sent to work as coolies to grind their temper.

In this way, the two-pronged approach passed the next month relatively smoothly.

During this month, they encountered more than 100 bandits and killed more than 700 bandits directly. The remaining 400 bandits joined Huangsha City either actively or passively.

In addition, more than 300 disaster victims also joined Huangsha City.

With these 700 people plus the original 6000 people in the city, the population of Huangsha City has exceeded [-].

The more than 400 bandits are all soldiers, and they can be used directly, but they need to be carefully inspected and identified.

Wu Zhen preliminarily selected 1000 people to be incorporated into the team, and the other 400 people were guarded and set up to work, such as building roads, digging traps, and opening up wasteland.

Among them, dozens of them showed obvious dissatisfaction after being captured, threatened to kill them, or were reported by others for lying and disobedience, and they were all put in prison.

The more than 300 victims were temporarily resettled, and they could only settle in Huangsha City after a period of investigation.

Of course, Huangsha City is not without losses.

During this month, 79 soldiers died, 67 were seriously injured, hundreds were slightly injured, and hundreds of merchants and civilians were killed or injured.

There were also hundreds of casualties in Yuanshan Town, and the town suddenly became deserted.

All in all, the gains far outweigh the losses.

There are more than 400 soldiers in Huangsha City, and more than 1000 reserve troops, and they have more confidence in the face of the next bandits.

As long as the enemy doesn't directly attack them with tens of thousands of people, they can win the enemy in a roundabout way. And if the enemy really has so many people, they will not lose. As long as they can't hold on, they will be fine. Food is enough for them to support them all the time.

It's just that, they can't care about the people near Huangsha City and the people in Yuanshan Town.

What happens depends on the number and strength of bandits next.

Judging from the experience of dealing with bandits in the previous month, there may be a lot of bandits coming next, not too many to deal with, but they won't be easy to deal with.

Casualties must exist, and the number will not be small. This reality weighs on the hearts of everyone like a boulder, making people breathless.

Mu Yu and Wu Zhen walked on the street, neither of them spoke much.

She still wanted to be more secure. She had written to Wen Wang and Zheng Cheng before, asking if they had any good ideas or if they could provide any help.

The reply over there asked her to guarantee the safety of herself and Huangsha City, and to take all the people she cared about in Yuanshan Town to Huangsha City, and then sent more than a hundred bodyguards to Yuanshan Town to help.

She has already written a letter to Yuanshan Town, asking them to send the old and weak, women and children here first, so that if things go wrong, there is still a way out.

But she didn't think it was a good solution.

What better way to solve the current problem?
She was walking aimlessly on the street, and when she came to a crowded place, she had to regain her senses to avoid being squeezed by the crowd.

She remembered that there were no people on this street at first, so it was very deserted. Why are there so many people now?
The place with the most people is a newly opened shop with the words "Ruyifang" clearly written on the plaque.

Suddenly, a distant memory hit her violently.

Ruyifang! ! !
