The soldiers at the bottom are better than the soldiers at the bottom. They have an easy-going attitude and will not look down on others. The corps leader always said "we", which directly shortened the relationship with the villagers.

The villagers had already understood. It turned out that the officers and soldiers were here to dig trenches to guard against thieves. The villagers' alertness suddenly disappeared. They also thought that digging trenches to prepare for the enemy was originally an act to protect the territory. The officers and soldiers were outsiders, but they helped.

After a long time of hoeing, the villagers' senses about Julu Soldiers immediately improved.

Once the attitude changed, the two sides became warmer.

During the conversation, several Julu soldiers had something to say.

They said that after the ditch was dug and the earthen fort was built, the trees were cut down and the roads that were difficult to dig were blocked. It was best to collect some firewood and pile it in critical places. If the enemy came to kill them, they would light it.

The fire was strong enough to withstand the enemy for a while.

Having said this, the team leader looked at the villagers and said, "How many people are there in your village? They are busy. The thieves may come at any time, so it is better to take precautions in advance."

It was a matter of family and life, so the villagers did not dare to waste a moment and hurried back to the village to call for help.

The stakes here are that it only requires digging ditches to collect firewood, and it only requires a little effort, with no financial cost, and it is also related to the lives of the whole family, both emotional and rational, so everyone has to work hard.

All the young and old in the village went out with tools.

The villagers were not familiar with the battle, so the five ordinary soldiers of the Julu Army became the only backbone.

The commander of the corps looked around and saw the people gathered around to wait for work. He scratched his head, thought for a while and said, "Are there any trees around here?"

"have."

"Cut down the tree, pull the stump over, and throw it into the road."

"Do you have any cars? Roll out the unused cars and tie them with hemp ropes and place them in rows."

"There is still firewood, pick up more firewood."

After the manpower was allocated, the team leader led the trench diggers to continue digging. The number of people increased, and a group of people were digging trenches. Seeing the uneven appearance of everyone, after thinking about it, the team leader walked to one end and took a hoe.

A hoe came over and dug a long boundary on the ground.

He ordered everyone to dig along the boundary line, and everyone followed the instructions.

After being busy for a while, the corps commander stopped the hoe and said to his comrades, "Xiao Sier, go and get some weapons."

"Okay." The soldier named Xiaosi nodded, dropped his hoe and went about his business elsewhere.

Xiao Si went to the village and searched around. He asked the villagers to collect all the longer sticks and prepare to sharpen the long sticks to make wooden guns.

In addition to preparing wooden guns, Xiaosi made a general statistics on the village's military equipment. There were eleven hatchets, fifteen guns, six bows, two crossbows, and more than eighty arrows in the village. This number is quite real.

It's not too much, and it can't equip many people.

The Julu Army has taken this situation into consideration. The military equipment in the countryside is uneven. If they want to recruit on a large scale, apart from asking the local government, they can only use poles as flags and cut down trees as soldiers.

Wooden guns are easy to make. Any long stick can be used to make a gun. All the long sticks collected in the village are made into wooden guns, which are enough to equip everyone in the village.

As soon as the officers and soldiers arrived in the village, the atmosphere was different.

Whether it was the men digging ditches outside or the women and children busy in the village, the villagers felt the tension coming and at the same time they also felt some confidence.

The villagers don't know how to fight, and the Julu soldiers are not very proficient in military tactics. But after all, Julu soldiers are real professionals. Although the villagers don't understand, they can do everything from digging ditches, building forts, preparing wooden guns, etc.

, I felt the reliability of Julu’s soldiers.

This village has begun to prepare for war.

Half a day later, Lincun suddenly came, accompanied by several soldiers.

When I came forward to negotiate, it turned out to be to help prevent the problem.

There is a distance between the two villages, so the neighboring village came here to discuss the issue of jointly building fortifications.

They were all fellow villagers, so it was easy to communicate. Villagers from both sides went to the field to have a casual discussion, and then demarcated the areas they were responsible for.

After the villagers left, the villagers asked curiously, "Master Jun, are the officers and soldiers who just came here part of your group?"

"Yes." The corps leader replied, "We have many people here. We sent people from east to west, from village to village.

When the time comes, the ditches in every village will be connected, and the bandits will not be able to bypass them even if they want to."

When the villagers heard that it turned out that not only their own village was preparing for the enemy, but the neighboring villages and neighboring villages were also preparing for the enemy. They felt extremely at ease and felt confident.

On this day, as Julu soldiers continued to dispatch manpower to local areas, a long invisible line of defense quickly extended far east.
