Traveler Major League

Chapter 161
Sure enough, the cavalry delivering the letter was intercepted by He Huchen's sentry on the mountain road. Only one of them escaped by chance and delivered the letter overnight.

By the time Liu Ze received the battle report ahead, it was already dawn on the second day.

Today's Luochuan County has completely changed. Recently, the population of several surrounding counties has been concentrated here. In addition to the elderly, weak, women and children, it is estimated that there are more than 7 people, and nearly [-] young and strong have been formed into the militia. Even the weapons are only made up of wooden sticks. Only the company commander was appointed by Liu Ze from the militia before. The other managers at all levels were elected by the company itself, but it is true that everyone was organized.

Liu Ze stood in the concrete bunker in the middle of the bastion and looked into the distance. He put his hands behind his back, standing like a stone tablet, and did not move for a long time.Outside the cement bunker is an open space as a storage warehouse, and outside it is a bastion. Unlike the previous bastion, the newly built bastion now has a small bastion and a large bastion. The cement bunker where Liu Ze is located is just in the The straight-line distance from the most central position to the edge of the small bastion is exactly 299 meters.

The sun shines through the bastion onto the small open space in front of the concrete bunker. The majestic color casts a layer of mystery on this morning. Liu Ze feels that his body is gradually filled with this color and gradually becomes warmer. When he got up, he withdrew his gaze from the glow, turned around and walked towards the meeting room in the bunker.

There were already a dozen or so people standing at random in the conference room. Because their backs were facing each other and the distance was far away, Liu Ze couldn't hear what they were saying. There was only a noisy sound coming from his ears. The mouth is also open, looking very anxious.

They probably got the news, Liu Ze thought.

When the guard at the door of the meeting room saw Liu Ze, it was like being electrocuted, and he saluted with a "Bada" and said, "Hello, Commander!"

Liu Ze nodded, looked the guard up and down, and saw that he was wearing a neat portable military uniform. Liu Ze nodded again with satisfaction. This is daily clothing specially designed for soldiers, and everyone wears it when they are not fighting. , it has loose sleeves and short trousers, which are very suitable for daily work or life.

Liu Ze asked the guard: "Is everyone here?"

"Report to the commander, everything is here."

He still replied in a calm manner, and Liu Ze's mood improved after hearing it. He walked in with great strides, and the people inside also saw that it was him at this time, and greeted him one after another.

"Commander, are we going to send troops to rescue?" Wang Shanbao asked first, he was impatient, and he couldn't wait for everyone to take their seats before asking, just because he just took office in the intelligence department, this kind of thing happened, his face was really dull , he only now understands the deep meaning of Liu Ze's establishment of this department, as long as there is someone in Yan'an Mansion who can see the officers and troops mobilized, such a moth will not appear.

Liu Ze sat in the first place, lowered his hands to let the others sit down, continued to think about the new military situation, shook his fingers, and calculated the strength of the troops everywhere, because all the full-time managers and technicians in each workshop were no longer affiliated to the original Troops, Luochuan County now only has 800 newly formed troops equipped with rifles, and only 100 young and strong red-haired man equipped with cold weapons.

The distance between the rifle companies and the red-haired barbarian companies in other counties is too far to quench their thirst.

"Li Kefu sent a letter saying that there were no less than three thousand infantry soldiers and no fewer than one thousand cavalry soldiers in the army he saw. Nearly half of them were elite frontier soldiers. They were completely different from Liu Yingyu's soldiers, and their tactics were also very different. The will to fight is also stronger, so don't let it be underestimated." Liu Ze stood up again and went to the window, looking at the densely packed materials below, full of pride in his heart, these are his material guarantees, so he didn't Afraid of these thousands of officers and soldiers, even if tens of thousands come in his heart, this bastion can be held for several years.

"Then, shall we take back the troops in the counties below?" Wang Zhe asked as he opened his notebook and checked the map drawn on it.

Now Liu Ze has finally realized the pain of scattered troops. At that time, he was too greedy when he occupied the various counties. Every county wanted to defend it, and each had a company of riflemen and two or three companies of red-haired barbarians to cooperate. When the official army came to attack, there were loopholes everywhere.

"If you want to defend everywhere, you can't defend everywhere. I ordered the garrison in each county to leave the county town to the local militia company responsible for guarding the land. The rifle company and the red-haired man naturalized company all returned to defend Luochuan County. Chuan County responds to the enemy." Liu Ze understands this truth, but only at this time did he really understand it thoroughly.

"Commander, why don't I lead the troops to Ganquan County to meet Li Battalion Commander Li and the others?" Second Battalion Commander Wang Guan volunteered, if these thousands of officers and troops besiege Ganquan County, Li Kefu's hundreds of people are really not safe.

Liu Ze also knew that the situation was urgent, so he thought for a moment and said, "Okay, but our Luochuan camp is the foundation and must be guarded. Li Kefu's side must also be rescued. In this way, I will give you two rifle companies and an artillery Platoon, take a red-haired barbarian company, and dispatch another thousand militiamen to you, and when you pass through Fu County, take the defenders who are defending there with you, and make the momentum of the main attack."

"You need to remember that those militiamen don't even have any weapons in their hands, so they can't fight. They can only shout and hunt down the remnants of the enemy." Liu Ze added. He remembered that he was easily slaughtered by the cavalry. The bloody scene of the militia company, this lesson is enough for everyone to remember.

After the plan was confirmed, Wang Guan led the team to set off at noon that day. Before that, a cavalry team of nearly 50 people had already stepped forward. Donkeys were used as animals for carrying baggage.

Lao Kong and Zhang Pu both came to the watchtower office where Liu Ze was.

"What's the matter?" Liu Ze asked, a little surprised that the two of them came again after the meeting just ended.

"Now we have too many people in this big camp. If there is a change, then..." Lao Kong was the first to talk about his worries. In fact, everyone knows that all ordinary people here are untrustworthy before crossing over again. , The time for integration is too short, and every link and department needs manpower. Now this kind of deformed society is like a large barracks, with an extremely powerful appearance.

Liu Ze has nothing to do about this. The newly built bastions are either purely defensive and used as warehouses for future crossing locations, or they are workshops such as steel factories, gun factories, and artillery factories. Yes, the space is limited, and it is simply impossible to accommodate these tens of thousands of people.

"Military control, everything should be done according to military law, and we can make an agreement with them, and people's livelihood will be restored in a few days, and military control will be abolished." Liu Ze added helplessly. Of course, at that time, it was the time of time travel, and it was just a big cake.

The outside of Ganquan County was already surrounded by the army at this time. Three hundred paces away from the city, countless peasants recruited from the surrounding villages were sweating profusely, digging ditches along the outside of the city wall to surround the city. People's Army.

This is also Li Kefu's carelessness. He did not expect the speed of the officers and soldiers to be so fast. They rushed back to Ganquan County that day, and then in the evening they found some officers and soldiers around the city to investigate. Unexpectedly, they found that they had been surrounded in the early morning of the next day. He died, and the trench has been dug overnight by the government army, and now the government army is still sending civilians day and night to widen and deepen it.

"Master He, the success or failure this time depends on you." Liu Yingyu brought the bowl full of wine to He Huchen, He Huchen nodded, took the big bowl and drank it down, then smashed the bowl forcefully, cupping his fists slightly He lowered his lips twice, wanted to say something but couldn't, so he just said, "Let's go!"

He Huchen's confidence in facing the enemy has been shattered. He really has no certainty of victory. This time their plan is to surround Ganquan County to attract Liu Ze to send troops to rescue them, and then take the opportunity to raid the Luochuan County camp, because Liu Yingyu's early investigation Because of this, they all knew that Liu Ze wanted to become a bandit, and the must-guard camp and workshops full of common people in Luochuan County were the loopholes.
