Chapter 145 Whatever
From this, it can be seen that what will be the result of the ghost knife choosing to defend Dahuai Town?
Regardless of whether the ghost knife can be defended or not, it will cause the following results:
First of all, the foreign merchants in Dahuai Town will suffer a lot of losses, because after the big war, there is no way to go out of the town to work. And this loss should not have been borne by those foreign businessmen.
In the minds of those foreign businessmen, it is nothing more than a leopard's head for a change of territory, and who is not to give protection money and dividends to the protection fee? But such a stubborn ghost knife will make them suffer losses, and this loss must be explained.
This statement is not a few fluttering words, but to take out "real money". Otherwise, the foreign merchants wouldn't mind letting the ghost knife look at their fangs. Therefore, the ghost knife will definitely encounter great financial trouble in the future, if he has a future.
Secondly, such a stubborn defense, the villages on the periphery must have given up. And the reason why those villages pay food is because the ghost knife has the identity of a "protector". Now that they are no longer protected, these villages don't mind changing their doors. Although the Sunset Man can't sum up such a lofty truth, he ...... There is philosophy in simplicity.
In the end, such a stubborn defense will definitely bring the main battlefield to Dahuai Town. And with the war, Dahuai Town will not be said to be in ruins, it will be quite dilapidated, and quite a lot of rotten dogs and chickens are eating in Dahuai Town, they work in various taverns, gambling stalls and other places, and even those foreign merchants will hire a group of people, because they want to save labor costs! There will be no faithfulness in the future.
Therefore, in this case, the future of the ghost knife will definitely be no money, no food, and no one, how can he keep his territory? Sit on the leopard's head? Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a suicide to defend Dahuai Town.
But now, no matter how much the analysis is, the ghost knife is brain-dead, and he wants to "commit suicide", he just wants to defend it. So what should I do? They are also helpless to do anything, so they can only play with the ghost knife.
Now we are about to face the most brutal and hard-fought siege warfare. Due to the large number of bandits in the Sunset Plain, all settlements, such as small towns and villages, have complete defensive measures, and at least have a high wall.
In the past, although there were relatively few turf battles, there were also such suicidal behaviors. So on the side of Guaetta, he also took out some siege equipment. Then, Poguaeta did not wait, he immediately gathered all his men and began to besiege the town of Dahuai.
And the way to it was safe and sound, the ghost knife was indeed bent on guarding, shrinking all the manpower in Dahuai Town, and didn't send anyone out to do something sneak attack or anything, and didn't even send a few people to go out to investigate. So they broke Guaeta and they came to the city very smoothly.
But then, we have to face the problem of food supply.
The men and horses that broke Guaeta were composed of several parts, and if the people who came to help them take the lead in attacking the fortified city with their men, it would definitely meet with a strong backlash. No one wants their men to lose too much. But let Poguaeta come by himself, not to mention whether his more than 700 men and horses can attack Dahuai Town, and he is not willing to lose his own lineage!
The current comparison of strength is an absolute advantage over the ghost knife. So the focus of those leaders has shifted to the post-war distribution. And if you want to distribute more after the war, it must depend on the strength of all walks of life. So these people are not monolithic, they all have their own little plans.
So they compromised with each other and set a strategy of long-term siege and forcing the ghost knife to retreat. But this food supply must be borne by Guaetta, but to supply so many people, the leopard head family has no surplus food!
What should I do then? I must have "borrowed food" from the neighborhood. So Poguaeta sent small teams to various nearby villages.
Originally, the villagers of those villages were indifferent to the arrival of Poguaetta. It's nothing more than a change of master on his head! Anyway, it's still the same as before. And if Poguaeta occupies Dahuai Town, he still wants these villages to hand over grain, so he will not kill chickens and take eggs, and do the things of burning, killing and looting. But this "borrowing grain" immediately stimulated contradictions.
Like today, these dozen or so people went to the village in front of them to "borrow grain." It is said to be "borrowing", but in fact it is robbing. Of course, they won't be too much to these chickens in the village, as long as they search for all the food. After all, this is the territory of Guaeta in the future.
And the food in the village was very small, so they were all ordered to die by the ghost knife and sent people to transport it to Dahuai Town. The original rotten dogs and young chickens in the village were also recruited to Dahuai Town, and a small number of those who refused to go fled to the mountains. As a result, there was no force in the village, and only subsistence rations remained.
And the "borrowing" of breaking Guaeta must have "borrowed" all the rations. Therefore, the people in the village will not be able to live at all in the future, and most of them dare not speak out.
But there are always people who can't figure it out, and that's the case with that family. They were also powerless to resist, so they set fire to their own house and the whole family committed suicide. And the people who "borrow food" are not willing to do things desperately, and they do not want to cause death. So he took the initiative to put out the fire. And if the fire spreads and the village is completely destroyed, it is not in the interest of Guaeta to break it.
So Dipu saw the strange scene in front of him, and he couldn't guess the identities of these people.
But the most important thing now is what to do in the face of this new situation? So Dip told them all to stay on the ground, and discussed it quietly with Salis.
Sary was definitely reluctant to do much, and he immediately said: "It turns out that the ghost knife and the broken melon are fighting, and they will definitely not come down the mountain to retaliate in a short time." Let's go back now! Maybe the ghost knife is defeated, and our black-eyed collar will be fine. ”
Dipu had his own opinion: "What if the ghost knife wins? No matter how long they fight, it should be over in half a year at most! When the ghost knife goes down the mountain again, our black-eyed collar will still not be able to stop it." And even if they win, they don't necessarily have no idea about the wasteland opened by Achita. What are we going to do then?"
Unexpectedly, Sharis was not a good person to talk to. He didn't want to use his brain at all, so he just pouted and said, "Whatever!
