pS: Second update.

"Zhen Lao," Pang Juan was also very smart, and said with a slogan: "You don't know that Junior Brother Sun is not only a disciple of his family master, but also an amazing family master. He is a descendant of Sun Wuzi, a military saint. I believe he can do it."
"Take it seriously!" Fang Che was overjoyed when he heard this. Everyone in the world knew Sun Wuzi's reputation, and he couldn't help but make up his mind: "Okay, Xiao Pang, Xiao Sun, Lao Ji and the whole town's people will give you all their lives. Tell me, what should I do, Lao Ji and I will follow my orders."
"Yes, fight with those robbers."
"That's great. I'll go back to find the guys now. Let those dog robbers see that there are no cowards in Fenglin Town."
...
The townspeople were excited and their confidence increased greatly. Many young people were eager to try and ready to go.
Sun Bin was amused and crying.
He could imagine that these townsmen would not have decent weapons, most of which were kitchen knives and hoes.
"Everyone, calm down," Sun Bin shouted hurriedly: "Listen to me."
"Okay, everyone is quiet, follow Xiao Sun's instructions." Fang Che also quickly greeted everyone and calmed down.
The boiling crowd gradually calmed down.
After thinking for a moment, Sun Bin issued an orderly order: "Old Fang, please count first how many young and strong people in the town are above 17, below 45, and there are still many young people who can fight. Then they all gathered here."
"I didn't say anything." Fang Che agreed immediately, and a sharp look flashed on his face: "I will make arrangements immediately. If anyone dares to shrink back, Fenglin Town will have no place to stay."
This punishment is really harsh, but there is no way to follow the urgency.
"Okay, that's the time to get old." Sun Bin nodded.
At this moment, Fang Che quickly arranged personnel and mobilized young and strong people of the right age according to households to gather here.
Sure enough, Fang Che sent his son and grandson, but when he saw this, no one dared to disobey.
Seeing Fang Che busy, Pang Juan felt a little confused and whispered: "Junior brother, are you really 90% sure?"
"I lied to them." Sun Bin smiled faintly.
"Ah!?" Pang Juan was shocked and stuttered: "Candy, are you lying to them?"
"Yes." Sun Bin said helplessly: "If they don't say that, will they dare to resist? This is a lie of kindness. However, 90% are not," hesitated and said: "I think there should still be 70%."
70%!? Pang Juan felt a little calm, but he could barely accept it, but he was worried and said, "Junior brother, what are you going to do?"
"Don't be anxious," Sun Bin smiled and said, "You will know soon."
Pang Juan had no choice but to wait.
Soon, the young and middle-aged people in the town gathered in front of Sun Bin and squeezed together, and it was a mess and there was no formation at all.
"Xiao Sun, Xiao Pang," Fang Che smiled and stepped forward: "There are all people, and there are a total of 154 people, none of them absent."
"Okay, thank you Mr. Fang." Sun Bin nodded and took two steps forward: "Everyone is quiet, it's a hunter, all stand up."
Upon hearing this, twenty-four people walked out of the team in a sparse manner.
These people are either burly and strong, or smart and capable, and are much stronger than ordinary townsmen.
As a hunter, he often runs in the mountains and forests and fights with beasts, which is naturally different from ordinary people.
"Very good," Sun Bin said happily: "There are quite a lot of people. I want to ask, how are everyone's arrows shooting?"
"Of course I didn't say it, this is the ability to eat."
"That's right, I dare not say that I hit every shot, but I still have a stable chance of hitting nine out of ten shots."
...
The hunters immediately talked and said confidently.
"That's good." Sun Bin said satisfied: "I need everyone to do two things: First, select the six most clever and fastest-step Ren Chi-chan to find out the whereabouts of the robbers and convey information; second, the rest of them are formed into crossbowmen, as long-range strike forces, and are easy to deal with crossbowmen. Is there any problem?"
"No problem." The hunters said one after another.
"Okay, I'm not familiar with everyone. You can see the assignment of these two teams by yourself. Just choose one."
The hunters discussed and quickly completed the formation.
Anyway, everyone is a fellow villager who knows the roots and bottom of the situation. Whoever has the ability is clear.
The leader of the scattered team, Xi, was over 20 years old, thin and concise, and he looked like a clever person.
The crossbow team, the leader is Meng Kuan, an old hunter in his thirties, is burly and strong, with a sharp gaze.
"Okay, I'll assign your tasks." Sun Bin said seriously: "The scattered team, from now on, will be responsible for the ten miles of reconnaissance at the front of the town entrance, whether it is night or day, take turns to change shifts. You are the eyes of the town, so you must not slackew, do you understand?"
"Brother Sun, don't worry." Xi patted her chest and confidently guaranteed her vote.
"Uncle Meng, the task of your crossbow team is to maintain the bows, crossbows, prepare arrows, and use them at any time."
"Zhong." Uncle Meng also agreed like a loud bell.
"By the way, Mr. Fang," Sun Bin turned to ask Fang Che, "Do you know where is the large bamboo forest nearby?"
"Bamboo forest?" Fang Che smiled and said, "There are many in the north."
"Okay," Sun Bin scanned the remaining 130 young and strong people: "The rest, all go to cut bamboo."
"Cut bamboo?" The young and strong men were confused and were all stunned.
"Junior brother, what are you doing to cut bamboo?" Pang Juan was also a little confused and couldn't help but say.
"Make a weapon." Sun Bin said with a smile.
When Fang Che heard this, he couldn't help but say, "Xiao Sun, if you want weapons, you can also get some hunting forks, spears, swords, etc. from each family. If you don't have any hoes, hatchets, etc., what's the point?"
Sun Bin shook his head and said, "There is no need for these things. I cut bamboo to make a bamboo gun. You will understand when it is done."
If you want to defeat the more with less, Sun Bin must fight against the mob with regularity.
The most basic requirement of a regular army is the unity of weapons and equipment, which is conducive to the development of tactics.
"Okay." Although Fang Che didn't understand, seeing Sun Bin's confidence, he decided to do as he did and ordered: "Didn't you hear that, hurry up and find the hatchet, and then go to the bamboo forest to gather."
"Yes, the old town."
One hundred and thirty young men agreed and scattered.
"Junior brother, can this bamboo gun really work?" Pang Juan still felt that it was a bit unreliable to use a simple bamboo gun to fight the robber's sharp spear. He had never heard of it. He had used a bamboo gun to fight.
"Don't worry." Sun Bin said confidently: "Even if an army is simple, it is enough to defeat a group of well-equipped mobs. Let's go and cut bamboo together."
Chapter completed!
