The enemy has artillery, but the range is not close, which is really troublesome.

You must know that not long ago, Dong Hanzhang had thought of giving an order to the navy to come over.

He had fought in the south of the Yangtze River before, so the navy naturally understood it.

He thought that when the navy arrived, he would try attacking through the water surface.

Now that he saw that the enemy had artillery, he gave up the idea.

It's hard to hide when being hit by artillery on land. If you attack a fort with artillery on a ship, isn't that a one-shot hit and kill someone?

Before coming here, he heard others say that Lu's Bastion was difficult to fight. He used to think that it was because of others' poor abilities that they failed to win. But now after fighting An Ran in person, he has changed his mind.

Although he still feels that no one has ever fought against Lu in a difficult place like Maple Leaf Castle, so just because his colleagues were defeated does not mean that he will be defeated in other fortresses.

Although he was confident that he would not necessarily be defeated in other fortresses, but in this Maple Leaf Fort, there was nothing he could do.

Surrounded by water on three sides, he wanted to encircle the enemy. It would be inconvenient to besiege the enemy to death, because the enemy would transport food, troops and weapons from behind the fort through the lake. How could the bandits of Maple Leaf Castle be trapped to death if they had these things?

/p>

If you want to prevent this from happening, you have to go deep into the enemy's territory and prevent the enemy from sending things to Maple Leaf Castle.

Thinking of this, Dong Hanzhang immediately came up with a way to withdraw his troops from here openly and prevent his men from losing morale.

At that moment, Dong Hanzhang called for the main generals and said: "This Maple Leaf Fort is difficult to deal with. I am not going to fight for the time being and instead besiege it. As time goes by, the enemy will not eat enough and will surely defeat itself."

Hearing what he said, someone was surprised and said: "But there is a lake around here, how can we besiege it?"

Dong Hanzhang said: "We went deep into the bandit territory and built an encirclement around the lake."

The Maple Leaf Castle lake is indeed quite big, and the place where An Ran transports supplies is naturally within the territory.

Listening to what Dong Hanzhang said, some people said: "I'm afraid it may not succeed. Since we are in enemy territory, how can it be so easy for us to do such a thing?"

Dong Hanzhang said: "What I want is for the enemy to come out and fight us. They have been hiding in Wubao and we can't fight at all. If this continues, the enemy will harass us at night and cause us casualties. If this continues, sooner or later

One day we will be able to gather together a small force and defeat our large force. On the contrary, if it can attract the enemy to come out to fight us, that is a good thing; if they still do not come out to fight us, that is fine, and we will act according to the original plan.

Siege of Maple Leaf Castle."

Dong Hanzhang's method was quite good. After listening to it, everyone agreed.

After this order was issued, it turned out that the morale of the soldiers was acceptable. Obviously, everyone felt that it would not be a problem to continue like this. How could we be passively beaten every night? Attack is the best defense, and everyone also wanted to take the initiative.

Since everyone thought so, Dong Hanzhang immediately sent an army to surround Maple Leaf Lake, preparing to surround it.

After walking around the lake for about twenty miles, Dong Jiajun felt that he had reached the territory controlled by bandit Lu.

——They used to call An Ran the remnant of bandit Li. Since they couldn't defeat An, they changed their name to bandit Lu. Obviously, An Ran's status in their hearts has improved, and they no longer regard her as bandit Li.

The remnants of Xiu looked at her and regarded her as a new force.

The reason why I feel that I have reached the territory controlled by Anron is because before, the outside was deserted, but when I got here, I saw fields being cultivated. It seemed that they had just been cultivated, and the crops had not been planted yet.

Since there are fields being cultivated, it is natural that someone controls them. Otherwise, how could they be cultivated? There is no other force around here. The ones who can cultivate the fields must be Lu Bandit's people.

They thought well, this was indeed the latest area to be reclaimed under Enron's rule.

However, it is said that under Anron's rule, the safest land is naturally in the fortress, which is usually allocated to the people. Unless it is a bad land, Anron will occupy it and use it to build some official buildings or public facilities.

If there are more and more people in the fort and there is not enough space in the fort, it will be divided outwards.

Like the core position under Enron's rule, because it is very safe, people outside are also willing to take it.

People generally don’t want the land around a newly built bastion like this for the time being. Even if they do, they only want the land near the bastion.

Knowing that everyone thinks so, Enron usually cultivates fields in the middle of the two bastions to build public facilities or public farms, because ordinary people would not want such a location, after all, it is far away from both sides.

The bastion is too far away and no one will farm it. Few people live outside now. Most people like to live in the bastion. There is no way. Now is a troubled time and it is not safe to live outside, so everyone naturally lives in the bastion.

In the fort, everyone may come out after it is safe.

Since we live in a bastion, we will naturally not want land that is too far away from the bastion because farming is inconvenient.

Therefore, the reclaimed land that Dong Jiajun saw was reclaimed by An Ran. It is not a place for ordinary people, because this is the forefront, and there are actually no ordinary people's fields outside for the time being.

However, as soon as they marched, An Ran and others naturally started to harass them again. But this time, Dong Jiajun was not afraid because he had his own goals. He thought that if he didn't succeed this time, he would be killed by the enemy. As the saying goes, the soldiers mourned.

Determined to win, the Dong Jiajun became determined to sink the ship and no longer paid attention to the harassment from An Ran and others, and just went their own way.

An Ran didn't care what kind of determination the Dong Jiajun made to keep their morale so strong. Anyway, she only hit her own, so she continued to harass the Dong Jiajun and cause casualties to the Dong Jiajun.

However, from the other party walking around the lake, An Ran could almost tell what this group of people wanted to do. They just wanted to create a large encirclement and trap Maple Leaf Castle.

An Ran couldn't help but want to laugh after seeing it. Not to mention that there was a lot of food stored in Maple Leaf Castle. Even if there wasn't much food stored in Maple Leaf Castle, he wouldn't be able to die because there were a lot of fields in Maple Leaf Castle and the food grown was enough for thousands of people in the city -

Because Maple Leaf Fort is a newly built fort, its popularity has only recovered. There are only a few thousand people, and with the two thousand garrison, the total number of people does not exceed 10,000.

So An Ran didn't care what they thought. Anyway, if she hit her and caused some casualties to the enemy, she would be rewarded. Besides, if Dong Hanzhang really wanted to surround Maple Leaf Castle around the lake, his troops would inevitably be dispersed.

To fight better.

Even if Dong Hanzhang had asked others to rush over and prepare for a hundred thousand troops to siege the city, An Ran was not very worried, because the lake was too big, the encirclement circle was large, and there were too few soldiers in each place, it would be easy to be attacked, and it was easy.
