Chapter 2986 Desperate Counterattack 24

And this delay in going back and forth naturally gave Enron an opportunity to develop, and Enron's territory grew bigger and bigger.

Of course, the Xihu people didn't know that Anron was continuing to expand its territory, because Anron was not expanding its territory forward where they were staring, but expanding its territory in other directions. They didn't know that all such bastions in the north were Anron's. They thought they belonged to others, so naturally they didn’t know that the fortresses being built were safe. They just thought they were owned by other wealthy locals who saw that the world was too chaotic and wanted to protect themselves.

Of course, most of the time they don't know that new forts are being built, because they are small in number and they can't see the vast countryside. Who knows where there is another fort, which is the former dynasty? I don’t necessarily know this. After all, in ancient times, imperial power did not go to the countryside. In this way, who knows what happened in the countryside and whose family built a Wubao.

Enron's construction of bastions in the countryside is actually another form of rural surrounding the city.

In fact, for An Ran, she does not need to occupy the city, because the vast fields in the countryside are what she needs. Enclosing these fields and building a bastion can not only ensure farming, so that the base will never be short of food, but also Being able to occupy territory is much more convenient than occupying a city.

While Anron continued to expand its territory, Wang Ting of the Xihu people in the capital also received a letter from hundreds of miles away, saying that there was a rich man who built dozens of forts and now has thousands of people. The soldiers and horses are unable to capture them. Should we send tens of thousands or even tens of thousands of troops to attack these forts?

When I first received these letters, the senior officials of the Xihu Royal Court simply wanted to curse. They felt that what was going on with their own people? They had only entered the Central Plains for two years, and they had already deteriorated so much. In the past, even the Central Plains court could beat people up. You ran away, and now you can't even defeat the Wubao of ordinary people? Is it because I have enjoyed too much in the colorful world outside in the past two years that my combat effectiveness has declined?

So after scolding the frontline personnel, they mobilized 10,000 soldiers and horses from nearby to besiege Anran's bastion.

As a result, ten thousand people came back with heavy casualties from being beaten.

This time, the Xihu Royal Court received more and more precise news.

It was said that Tang Anran's Wubao had a lot of arrows. When people arrived, thousands of arrows were fired at once, and the men couldn't hold it back.

The people above have said that you can't capture some Central Plains people to use as cannon fodder and join the arrow array.

As a result, people said that the people in Wubao would not kill the Central Plains people, but they would kill them once they entered the range of the arrow array.

If they mix with the Central Plains people and supervise their attacks, they will be able to shoot arrows, but in that case, their own people will also be shot to death by arrows.

Either way, it's difficult to deal with.

Moreover, the opponent had a lot of arrows. When they attacked the capital in the past, there must have been a lot of arrows in the capital. But for a small Xiaowu Fort, the arrows were not necessarily less than those in the capital. There was a steady stream of arrows. They fought for a long time. Still shooting.

Moreover, those Wubao also cooperated with each other. When they attacked the city, people from other Wubao would suddenly come out to attack them, and they would flee if they couldn't defeat them.

The opponent's horse is good and their riding skills are superb, so they can't catch up.

——In fact, Enron is implementing the sixteen-word policy of guerrilla tactics. It doesn’t matter how many people can be killed. Anyway, it’s a little bit. Kill ten people a day. After a long time, these Xihu people can’t bear it. After all, they There are few people, and every young and strong person is cherished.

As for the people from the Enron faction, the reason why these people couldn't catch up was because the Enron faction was special forces.

He is the best among all soldiers.

He has superb riding skills and is proficient in bow and horse. He can sneak up near the enemy, shoot a few arrows and run away. When the enemy reacts, he can run further by relying on his good riding skills and the fact that he can understand the terrain better than the enemy.

And when the people relaxed their vigilance a little, they came over again and shot a few more arrows. They harassed them so frequently, even at night, that the Xihu people couldn't bear it.

Especially at night, there are only a few people here in Anran, so they are not afraid of camp roars, and since it is dark at night, they are familiar with the terrain and can escape more easily.

But on the Xihu side, the army was gathered together. The special forces on Anran's side sneaked over and set off a few fires, or threw some thunderbolts, or even struck a few gongs, which was enough to defeat the Xihu army. Even when they met for the first time, there was a sudden thunderbolt from the sky. The Xihu soldiers didn't know what happened and were frightened. Then there was a roar in the camp. In the dark night, in fear, they trampled on each other. Many people died.

It would be strange for the Xihu people to persist under such attack from both inside and outside.

So ten thousand soldiers and horses were defeated in less than ten days due to heavy losses, lack of sleep, etc.

In fact, not many people died, and the casualties were probably in the thousands. To the Central Plains people, thousands of casualties were really nothing. Before, the refugees had no idea how many people would starve to death every day.

But for the Xihu people, with a population of only a few hundred thousand, it was an unbearable burden. Seeing thousands of casualties, they ran away quickly.

When they first attacked the Central Plains Dynasty, they mobilized the whole clan with a sigh of relief. Men, women, old and young all went into battle, thinking that if they succeeded, they would be able to live a good life in the future. If they failed, they would suffer heavy losses and flee back to the desert. That’s it.

Seeing that the Central Plains Dynasty was beaten away, I felt relieved.

Next, after living a good life in the Central Plains for the past two years, they cherished their lives and were not willing to work so hard. That was why they couldn't bear the thousands of casualties at this moment.

If they had not lived in the colorful world of the Central Plains and had not lived a good life, and those who were barefoot were not afraid of those who wore shoes, they would still have fought hard, but now, after living a good life, they could not muster the courage to fight hard.

In the past, they thought that if they couldn't fight, they would go back to the desert, but now, they don't want to go back at all, and they don't want to die. If they care about their lives, won't their combat effectiveness decline?

Seeing that ten thousand soldiers and horses were defeated and came back, the King of Xihu realized that something was wrong with the situation, and immediately began to pay attention to An Ran's bastion.

Once attention is paid to it, and a new and not yet completely corrupt regime is mobilized, the things that can be discovered will be considerable.

Of course, it was mainly the Xihu people who settled in the capital and established the dynasty. Many people from the Central Plains came to serve as officials. They brought with them the operating methods of the imperial court in the Central Plains. Therefore, the political machinery started to operate very quickly. I learned a lot of news.

They inquired about information from all aspects and soon clarified the origin of Tang Anran, the owner of Wubao.

Although An Ran lives in seclusion, after the Refugee War, An Ran fought many battles with the Xihu people and attracted the attention of all parties. Therefore, all parties must be digging for information about An Ran's identity.

There were people everywhere digging for information, lurking into the base, and after spending a lot of money to purchase it, they naturally bought the exact information about Enron.
