Zhang Zhongjun just glanced at the map, and the situation of these six villages naturally appeared in his heart.

Don't look at the fact that the population of the six villages combined is more than six million, well, the crypts of these villages appeared earlier than Beihuang Village, and the degree of development is much deeper than that of Beihuang Village, so the farmland area is larger than that of Beihuang Village, and the population is naturally much larger than that of Beihuang Village.

The population is a lot, and the number of samurai is naturally a lot more, but there is a habit in this world, that is, samurai, unless they are retired, or are ordered by the peak to manage, reclaim, garrison and other work and tasks in the village, otherwise the samurai will never stay in the village to guard their knowledge and deeds when they are in their prime.

The people who are in charge of Zhixing's management are the samurai's family relatives and retainers, and they are also the ones who are not very capable among the family relatives and retainers, and those who have a little ability follow the samurai, so to speak, those who remain in the village are mediocre people.

The village, in the hearts of the samurai, is a place where Zhixing is placed, and the place where the samurai stay is naturally the side of the lord or the city.

And the masters of the martial family, those family governors, unless they are the identity of the village owner, as long as they are the identity of the martial family, then they will all stare at the nearest town, county seat, and county town, and look like they are greedy and ready to rob these cities at any time.

Therefore, the power of the samurai and the power of the mages are mostly concentrated in the cities, and even those shrines and temples are built near the big cities, and they will not be built in the countryside with beautiful mountains and rivers at all.

And like this flea demon invasion, according to intelligence, there is not a single flea demon in county-level cities and county-level cities, and there are hundreds of flea demon invasions in town-level cities. As for the villages, there was a tragedy, and three hundred to five hundred flea demons invaded.

And the hundred flea demons in the town were solved even faster than Zhang Zhongjun's side, because the town was already garrisoned with mages, and these mages directly burned these flea demons who had no other abilities except for the thickness of the flesh into fireballs with a few fireball techniques.

And there are almost no mages in the village, and those mages don't say whether there is any possibility of retirement, even if they do, they will still stay in the city, where will they come to the village.

Therefore, the village is the gathering place of human beings with the weakest defense, not to mention that flea demons will appear from time to time, and those demons, monsters and beasts will also take care of it from time to time, so the capable people in the village have all moved to the city, and the people in the village are just those who have no ability and can only plow the fields. Of course, it was also the place where the samurai knew how to do it.

There is another point to explain here that the two monsters sent by the nine-tailed fox, the flea demon, are specifically aimed at the countryside, with the purpose of polluting the farmland and devouring food, and weakening the amount of food that humans rely on for survival. As for the fox fur demon, it is specifically aimed at the city, because the ability of the fox demon is to confuse people's hearts, and the fox fur demon has a latent ability, and likes to make wind and rain in human cities the most.

So relatively speaking, the people in the vast countryside are the most disgusted and frightened flea demons, and those warriors, nobles, and merchants in the city are the most frightened fox feathers.

And this is why some careerists deliberately acted in the name of the fox feather demon, and it is needless to say that if they succeed, a new martial artist has appeared, and if they fail, it is just a fox feather demon rebellion. Many careerists escaped in the name of this fox fur demon.

Under such circumstances, although there were many samurai from the six villages, there were not many samurai left in the villages, and the total number of samurai in the six villages did not exceed forty. And the rank samurai, not a single one remained. As for the mage?

Zhang Zhongjun just touched his chin and thought for a moment before pointing at the map: "My four guards, one with 1,500 ashigaru equipped with French weapons, and 20,000 well-equipped peasant soldiers, attacked these four villages respectively. And I took the remaining 4,000 French ashigaru and 20,000 peasant soldiers to attack these two villages. ”

Takegami Muraki looked at the map, Zhang Zhongjun personally led the troops to fight, it was two villages on the same line, that is, after fighting one, he could immediately attack the next one.

Takegami Muraki nodded: "The lord's decision is very good, then the subordinates can prepare for the construction of the road." ”

"Well, not only must the roads be built, but the farmland must also be reclaimed, otherwise the six villages will not be stable until the problem of food shortage is solved. Zhang Zhongjun said.

"But my lord, the speed of the army's movement is okay, but the logistics team is very slow to transport the grain, why don't you go to these six villages yourself?" Takegami Muraki suggested.

As soon as I heard Takegami Muraki's words, I knew that this goods already knew that they could conjure up a large amount of food and materials at any time, which was much more convenient than transporting them from Beihuang Village to six villages.

Zhang Zhongjun just glanced at Takegami Village, and saw that he didn't care about his ability at all, so he nodded and said: "Well, then I will go to the six villages to hang around, not only to declare sovereignty, but also to store a batch of materials for the development of the six villages." ”

Seeing that Zhang Zhongjun didn't care at all about being a logistics staff as a family governor, Takegami Muraki couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, although he had a peculiar ability, but he was a person who paid attention to the overall situation, and would not be a wanton master, with such a master, he would not be able to achieve his wishes.

Zhang Zhongjun's 10,000 elite ashigaru in Beihuang Village had been prepared early, and the French weapons had also been distributed early for them to familiarize themselves with. And the 100,000 peasant soldiers are a little troublesome, because, although hundreds of thousands of people can draw out 100,000 peasant soldiers, but if they are withdrawn, the rest are the old, weak, women and children.

Therefore, although Zhang Zhongjun decided on the formation of five armies, he did not set off immediately, but first selected the peasant soldiers, while waiting to finish the things that Beihuang Village needed to be busy with, and waiting for the six villages to fight to the death first.

Beihuang Village is still busy with farming matters in a slow manner, and the six surrounding villages are already in full swing. If this kind of war had been encountered before, the peasants and soldiers would have paddled on the side, and the obligation to the lord would have been fulfilled when they went out on the field. But now it's a snatch of food, the peasants and soldiers are working hard one by one, if they don't sell their lives, they won't be able to grab food, and if they can't grab food, their own family will starve to death!

Therefore, the level of bloodiness can be stronger than the extermination of demons, and when you exterminate demons, you will run away when you see that something is wrong, where will you escape when you grab food?

Zhang Zhongjun, who was always receiving timely information, finally ordered a crusade against these six villages when he reached a critical point. So the five armies with more than 100,000 people that had been prepared for a long time drove out of Beihuang Village.
