Volume 4: Following the Dragon and Slaying the Dragon Chapter 85 Siege
In the following period of time, Wang Liang felt relaxed. With nothing to do, he began to clear out the wild monsters near the main house.
Of course, they are called wild monsters, but in fact they are all bandits or mountain strongholds nearby.
Under Wang Liang's cleanup, he even cleared out the mountain strongholds on the outskirts of several nearby counties.
During this cleanup process, Wang Liang discovered that as the day of chaos in the world got closer, the ambitions of some people nearby became more obvious.
The mountain strongholds that were cleared out by Wang Liang were relatively better off. Some of them were strongholds gathered by hunters who could not pay taxes, but the bandits nearby were all bandits arranged by nearby forces.
They are either robbing money for nearby forces, or they are the source of manpower for some nearby forces. From the length of their existence, it can be seen that some people have been planning for them since a few years ago.
This time, Wang Liang didn't care who was around. In order to improve his level, he personally took action along the way and destroyed all the bandit strongholds he could see.
His actions aroused public anger.
When Wang Liang reached level 30 and returned to the main house to rest and prepare to adapt to the effects of his Nascent Soul, the three nearby counties unexpectedly united and sent out a large army to attack Wang Liang.
The news of the three-county alliance was passed on by Qiao Zun. According to the information from his side, this time the three-county alliance was said to be mainly based on Beixin County from Qiao Zun's side, but in fact Siming County had made a lot of efforts.
There is also another city called Nanyu County. Half of the bandits killed by Wang Liang this time were from the three major families in Nanyu County.
In fact, these three families do not have any ambitions. They just want to protect themselves when troubled times come.
But they are not a noble family, and they do not have their own armed forces.
In order to avoid being eaten as meat when troubled times come, they started making preparations a few years ago, hoping to prepare some military forces at the last minute.
But Wang Liang needed experience to upgrade. Almost all the tigers in Yuanshan had been killed, and he couldn't just rush into the city to kill people. Killing bandits became his most reasonable source of experience.
In addition, these bandits were causing too much trouble, so Wang Liang decided to kill them.
"Okay, I understand. You go back first and take good care of the yamen runners under you. Don't worry about the affairs of Beixin County. You will naturally get benefits later."
Listening to Qiao Zun who came over to deliver the message, Wang Liang thought seriously for a moment, "Don't worry, I can still handle these now."
"Okay, I believe you, sir. By the way, I also heard a rumor that Siming County was not willing to participate this time, but a rumor spread from the Dongfeng Marquis family that whoever can kill you can marry the daughter of the Dongfeng Marquis. Qilinzi from the Xiao family in Siming County has been thinking about this day for a long time, and he insisted on going to the battle."
"I just knew you were waiting here."
Wang Liang understood as soon as he heard it that this was revenge from Gong Ning, but so what? Wang Liang made his choice and would never regret it.
Instead, he had already begun to consider whether he should destroy the Dongfeng Marquis Mansion in advance and cause chaos in Dongfeng Town in advance.
But can the troops he has now accomplish this?
It might be okay against the Xiao family of Siming County, but it may not be the case against Marquis Dongfeng.
They still have two visible armies and one army that may be hidden in secret, plus the power of the imperial court is still there.
It would be fine if Wang Liang was only facing one or two forces, but if he wanted to directly confront the entire Dongfeng Town, he would be attacked by a large army.
Wang Liang had seen the effects of those military formations, especially the two military formations of the Dongfeng Marquis' Mansion, which Wang Liang had seen with his own eyes.
Whether it is the Dongfeng Guard or the Qianglin Guard, neither is a simple military formation.
Wang Liang suspected that the military formation hidden by the Dongfeng Marquis' Mansion was very likely an army with its own intelligence, just like the White Wolf Guard.
Therefore, Wang Liang just kept his idea of Dongfeng Town in his mind and had no intention of putting it into practice.
Instead, he is now focusing on the three-county joint attack that is about to begin.
Knowing that the three counties were going to join forces to attack him, Wang Liang had to be prepared.
Naturally, people would be sent to notify the villages near the main house to let them be prepared and not run around outside during this period.
At the same time, he also had to arrange his men to patrol the mountains and forests outside the main house.
Wang Liang is not afraid of a real large army. Whether it is marching or fighting, those armies need time and venue arrangements, and Wang Liang can monitor them completely.
What Wang Liang was afraid of was that a group of stragglers would run over and kill in his territory. Even if he killed these guys, he would also suffer a lot of casualties among his subjects.
At the very least, those residents who have just settled down will begin to doubt the safety of Wang Liang's territory and eventually consider leaving.
This is not what Wang Liang wants.
So Wang Liang immediately called Su Xinliu and asked him to arrange patrols and appeasement work in the territory.
Then he found Song Xiu again.
"The Xiao family is preparing to attack us. This is your chance. How are your zombie troops prepared?"
"All zombies have been refitted, but the zombie strengthening method that you mentioned is just the beginning. Currently, less than fifty strongmen have been trained, and the rest are just ordinary zombies."
"That's enough. We are the closest to Siming County, so I estimate that they will send troops the latest. They may even launch a surprise attack when I attack the troops from the other two counties. So your mission is to bury yourself here and launch a surprise attack when the troops from Siming County pass by you."
"How can they go from here?"
Looking at the position arranged by Wang Liang, Song Xiu was a little confused. It was not impossible to bury himself underground . Zombies had the skill of escaping underground. Moreover, they were zombies transformed from miners, and they were especially good at mining and digging tunnels.
But he was a little confused as to why Wang Liang chose such a place.
Seeing Song Xiu's confusion, Wang Liang just smiled. He couldn't say that this was a result .
It also cannot be said that this divination was entirely accidental.
He could only say to Song Xiu with certainty: "Yes, it is here. You will ambush here. What happens next is up to you. If you find that you cannot deal with these enemies, attack Siming County. If you can take it, take it down directly."
Song Xiu glanced at Wang Liang and finally nodded.
