A Husband Who Traveled Through the Famine and Developed a Chronicle

Chapter 144 Battle Damage
Hundreds of households in the garrison were staring, surrounded by burnt officers and soldiers, and there were many officers and soldiers behind who couldn't squeeze to the front and were of no use.

This battle was quite frustrating. It was clear that the opposite side was a group of common people who looked like chickens and dogs, but they couldn't attack for a long time.

"People across the way, listen, we are here only to collect food. You quickly put down your weapons and hand over the food to us. We will let you go and no longer attack."

Baihu felt aggrieved, but he could only give in.

Unfortunately, Li Xiuyuan and the others on the opposite side didn't think so. The answer to Baihu was a sharp arrow that flew close to his scalp.

Li Xiuyuan retracted his bow and arrow and looked coldly at the figure in the darkness.

"Kill them, leave no one behind"

It's ridiculous that they came to attack and failed to defeat them, but they still expected them to give them food.

This battle lasted from dusk to dawn, until everyone was exhausted, and the garrison of hundreds of households and others reluctantly retreated.

"Damn it, where are these guys coming from? How come they have so many bows and arrows?"

Hundreds of households in the garrison were covered in blood, slapping their hands hard with anger on their faces.

This is simply a shame. 200 people attacked an ordinary village and failed to capture it. Moreover, there was a baby on the opposite side. If anyone knew about this, they would laugh at him to death.

"Hundred households, the casualty statistics are out. A total of 12 of our brothers died in the battle, seven were seriously injured, and 29 were slightly injured."

After hearing this data, Baihu was silent for a moment. It was just a small Liu Yunzhai, but he had lost so many people.

"Let's go and fight again"

After saying that, the garrison team took action again.

On the mountain, Li Xiuyuan and the others have just counted the casualties. Seven people died and 12 were injured. The situation is much better than that of the officers and soldiers, but for this group of refugees who did not die when they fled, this is undoubtedly a serious problem. Huge thrill.

"Everyone, please be alert to prevent officers and soldiers from counterattack," Li Xiuyuan reminded.

Soon, the retreating officers and soldiers attacked again.

Li Xiuyuan and others had no time to grieve for the fallen, so they had to fight again.

The battle in Liu Yunzhai lasted for three days. The reason why it lasted so long was because Zhu Tufu, who was left at the bottom of the mountain by the officers and soldiers, finally climbed up the mountain and recognized that the people in Liu Yunzhai were the ones who separated with them in the first place. As a refugee, Li Xiuyuan was one of the two children who could provide food.

The mission of the officers and soldiers this time was to capture the two children who could get food. Li Xiuyuan was right in front of them. Of course they would not let it go. They sent two people back to Tushan to report the news, and the remaining people met with Li Xiuyuan here. They fight to the death.

In the past few days, Liu Yunzhai was bleeding like a river. After three days, no one among the officers and soldiers could stand up. Even hundreds of their households were killed by Wu Ziying. It was precisely because of this that these people The officers and soldiers were defeated.

As the sun set, the people in Liuyun Village were silently cleaning the battlefield. Li Saner hurried back from the bottom of the mountain with Liang You and Xu Cai. Liang You and Xu Cai each held a cloth bag in their hands. Under the cloth bag, there were also Dripping blood.

"Report to the leader of the village, the officers and soldiers who reported the news have been executed."

"The leader of the village knows everything so well that we can intercept and kill the officers and soldiers who reported the news at the foot of the mountain."

It turned out that when he caught the scout, Li Xiuyuan secretly summoned Li San'er and the other three, and asked them to take a detour to the rear of the officers and soldiers and guard the exit down the mountain to prevent the officers and soldiers from going to Tushan to report the news.

Now that the officers and soldiers on the mountain have been dealt with, as well as the officers and soldiers who reported the news, they have finally been given some breathing space.

But Li Xiuyuan was not happy at all.

Not a single one of the two hundred officers and soldiers was left. They all stayed and were buried in the tombs in the back mountain. However, correspondingly, nearly 200 people in Liuyun Village also died. Between them and the officers and soldiers, It's almost a one-for-one exchange.

Nowadays, the village is gloomy and gloomy, and there are suppressed cries everywhere.There were not many strong laborers in the first place, but after this disaster, only two or three kittens were left.

"Have you recruited Butcher Zhu?" Li Xiuyuan looked ugly. He had only been the leader of the village for more than ten days, and so many people had died. It was inevitable that there would be voices of opposition in the village, but now everyone was too busy grieving to care. cause trouble for him.

"recruited"

Shuanzi's face was sullen and his eyes were a little red.

Among the people who died this time, many were members of his escort team, and many of them were just teenagers of thirteen or fourteen years old.

"He said that these officers and soldiers are the garrison of Tushan. There is a mine on Tushan. Many refugees were arrested by the government to mine there. In the past few days, the officers guarding the mine killed people and ate meat. They also forced the refugees to eat human beings. meat, which led to refugee riots and the death of many officials."

"The garrison suppressed the riot, but the garrison didn't have much food."

"He didn't want to eat human flesh, so he reported to the garrison General Lin that you and the lady got food on the way. These 200 people were sent by General Lin to find you and the lady."

Shuanzi suppressed his anger and wanted to slap Butcher Zhu on his ears.

The young lady and the village leader kindly exchanged food for them and saved their lives. Unexpectedly, this is how they would repay the young lady and the others.

After hearing this, Li Xiuyuan couldn't help but sneer.

This is human nature.

"First of all, please comfort the families of the brothers who died in the battle. Miss Wu is already drafting a pension system. She will collect the money from Uncle Dahai and deliver it to each household. Tell them that a war like this will only More, no less, starting from tomorrow, everyone’s training will be doubled.”

"Except pregnant women, children under five years old and the elderly, everyone must participate in training."

"In addition, you arrange for someone to go down the mountain and recruit the refugees who have fled down the mountain to join the Liu Yunzhai escort team. If you join the escort team, you will take care of the food. Recruit more people, the more the better."

"Yes"

Shuanzi followed Li Xiuyuan down the mountain and knew what the situation was like at the bottom of the mountain. There were refugees dying of hunger everywhere. As long as they gave them some food, they could recruit people up the mountain.

"Sister Ziying, thank you for your hard work."

Li Xiuyuan found Wu Ziying who was drafting a pension system. Without her, he really didn't know what he would do.
Wu Ziying waved her hand. This was the biggest casualty in Liu Yunzhai except the time she went down the mountain.

There are only a few hundred people in the entire village, and now there are only 500 people. Including the original group of people from the Liu clan, there are now less than [-] people in the entire Liu Yunzhai.

"Sister Ziying, I want to build a Martyrs' Temple to honor the soldiers who died fighting for the village."

Wu Ziying's hand paused and she looked up at him. Seeing the firmness in his eyes, her words to stop him stopped in her throat.

"The first batch of adobe bricks has come out of the kiln, and there are [-] pieces."

"Thank you, Sister Ziying."

Li Xiuyuan looked at her gratefully, and then walked towards Brick Fang.

After nearly a month of getting along, the people of the Liu clan have integrated in and obtained the good citizen household registration of Liu Yunzhai.

Smart people all know what Li Xiuyuan wanted to do. One-third of the people who died this time were members of the Liu clan. There were originally more than 100 Liu clan members, but only about 50 people died.
