This is just a temporary measure, and after a long time, these men will still be tired. Romance debuts
Zhou Bo did not include all the young men in the standing armament because of insufficient weapons and equipment, but because he knew that his people were not simple mountain bandits, and it was impossible for him to rob and rob everywhere every day. If we want to grow, we must establish a system of self-sufficiency, and if we have standing arms, we must have people to support them. At present, it is only some agricultural conditions that are not mature, such as land, farm tools, crops, etc., so it is impossible to arrange people to cultivate them, let alone carry out some other development.
But he believes it won't be long before that improves.
The standing army had been training for a month, and by the 15th of February, these men were almost stronger than the Qi army in Suzhì. Of course, this is because the Qi army is too weak, so after a simple month of training, it is natural that it can fight with it.
Zhou Bo also wanted to study some formations or advanced weapons and equipment, but the resources at hand were too small, and although there were many concepts of the 21st century in his mind, he couldn't use them. It seems that these things can only be done when the conditions are ripe in the future.
In the afternoon, he gathered several leaders of the standing armament, along with several other leaders, to a hut built on a huge fork in the mountain nest. The room was small, and almost everyone had to crawl in, sit on the floor, and touch their heads when they stood up slightly. But because it is hidden, it acts as a command post.
As for the standing armament, Zhou Bo arranged it according to the establishment of the Song army, and naturally there were gang commanders, escort teams, and reserve generals. He appointed Li Xuzhong as the first preparation general, and as for the following gang leader and escort team, Li Xuzhong himself appointed it. Since Li Xuzhong is a visionary person, the people he selected are worthy of confidence, just like when he organized people to rob the prisoner car and rescue Boss Zhou.
At this time, in addition to Li Xuzhong, only two escort officers came to the standing armament, and the other two escort teams had to stay there to manage the team. The two escort teams who arrived were named Wang Zai and Song Xu. Among them, Song Xu was also from the Xiang Army before, but he was just a small soldier.
After everyone arrived, Zhou Bo went straight to the point and said, "Brothers. I have a new action. It's just that this operation will be a bit risky, but the harvest will definitely be more abundant than the first time. β
Everyone immediately became excited, they had been waiting for a month and a half, and their hands were already itching.
Li Xuzhong said: "Boss, we were all a group of outlaws. If you can't fill your stomach and starve to death, it's better to do it vigorously, what is not dangerous. What the hell is the plan?"
Li Xuzhong said: "Boss, we are all a group of outlaws, if we can't fill our stomachs and starve to death, it is better to do it vigorously, what is not dangerous." What the hell is the plan?"
Everyone else nodded their heads one after another, with resolute expressions on their faces.
Zhou Bowei smiled. said: "I'm going to rob the military camp of the Qi army in Yingzhou." β
Hearing these words, everyone's previous excitement disappeared all at once: Is the boss of the Yingzhou Qi army's barracks? Is the boss mistaken, there are 50,000 Qi troops stationed in the Yingzhou military camp, and they are now only more than 600 people when they are full, even if they are one enemy and ten, they can't be counted!
Wang Shanwu hesitated for a while, and then asked, "Boss, is this ...... Isn't this really going to Yingzhou to confront Qi Gou's camp?
Zhou Bo glanced at everyone's faces, and just smiled and asked, "What, are you all scared?"
Li Xiucai scratched his head. A little embarrassed said: "Boss, we are all alone, what else is there to be afraid of." It's just that the words come out. We all dare to rob, but also to make ends meet. just had a hard time with Qi Gou, died unspeakably, and let us mess up to this day. β
Others also nodded their heads one after another, saying that they could indeed give up their lives for the sake of righteousness and the overall situation. But knowing that it is not the opponent of the Qi army, it is really a problem with the brain.
Zhou Bo smiled. He said, "Do you just believe me? Am I stupid enough to send you to death? Since I have come to you today, it must have been after careful consideration and a brilliant plan that I have come to consult with you." β
Hearing this, everyone's eyes immediately lit up, and they immediately breathed a sigh of relief and regained a little confidence. Since Suizhou instigated a mob uprising and successfully grabbed so many things from Qi Gou, they naturally admired Zhou Bo very much. Since Zhou Bo said that he had an excellent plan, of course all of them would trust this plan.
Li Xuzhong hurriedly asked: "Boss Zhou, what is the strategy, we wish we could do it again immediately!"
Chen Chuan nodded and said, "The food we robbed last time is almost finished, and we are all discussing how to send someone to the city with the silver to buy some food to help." β
Zhou Bo said solemnly: "Brothers, don't worry, the reason why I said that this operation will be a little dangerous is precisely because Yingzhou is a piece of fat. Since you want to eat fatty meat, you will inevitably worry about whether you will choke on fatty meat. The greater the benefits we receive, the greater the associated risks, and I believe you all understand this truth. β
Everyone nodded their heads, indicating that they understood.
Zhou Bo paused, and then said, "It's good that you understand." But as I said, you are all my brothers, and I will not act rashly and let you take great risks. Every time I make a plan, I do it with as little damage as possible. So, as long as you follow my plan carefully, I guarantee that this operation will still be as successful as the one in Suizhou. β
Li Xuzhong suddenly became excited and said, "Boss, we naturally believe your words." Ha ha. Hurry up and tell us what we have planned. β
Zhou Bo said: "Starting tomorrow, I want a few people with flexible brains and skills to follow me across the Han River, but to reconnoiter the situation of Qigou's various strongholds. Since we did a big job in Suizhou, Qi Gou in Yingzhou has scattered their troops everywhere, strictly preventing the Song army from lurking in the rear and then sabotage. As long as we find out the situation of these strongholds, we can take advantage of the situation and make a good trouble. β
Wang Shanwu immediately asked: "Boss, do you still want to repeat your old tricks? Let us go around to the rear to make trouble? Wouldn't this be too clichΓ©, and Qi Gou will not be so stupid, he doesn't know how to eat a trench and grow wise." β
Zhou Bo shook his head and said, "Naturally, I won't be so stupid. And I said it too. This time, it was directly face-to-face, and I went to the barracks where the dogs were in trouble. If we succeed this time, we will definitely be able to harvest twenty times more than the spoils of Suizhou. With supplies, we can recruit more people; We can do much more!"
Li Xuzhong nodded and said firmly: "Boss Zhou, I will personally go to survey with you tomorrow." β
Zhou Bo said: "Okay. But I'll have to pick a few more people to go with me. As for the others, you have to prepare first, I have drawn up a list. Then you will go out and get all these things according to what you are good at. In addition, this matter is kept secret for the time being, so as not to leak the news badly. β
Everyone nodded.
Zhou Bo took out a list he had prepared and handed it to Li Xuzhong, so that Li Xuzhong could arrange for the preparation of these things. After that, he briefly revealed the details of going to investigate the Qigou stronghold tomorrow, and then let everyone disperse and began to gradually prepare.
After Li Xuzhong came out of the tree house. took a closer look at the list given by Zhou Bo, and saw that there were still a lot of things on it, but I was afraid that it would take a while to prepare. There were a few pieces of paper at the back of the list, which were drawings drawn by a few points, which were the installation drawings of some mechanisms.
He called Wang Kui and asked Wang Kui to prepare more than 50 torches with oil on the banana according to the instructions on the list. He also instructed Wang Shanwu and Chen Chuan to build twenty traps that could be carried, and at the same time handed over the drawings to them, and asked them to make everything according to the drawings.
In addition, there are some firecrackers and other things, Li Xuzhong took into account the lack of materials in the mountain nest. There are certainly no such things. So he found Li Xiucai again, and asked Li Xiucai to send a few people with silver to the towns in Ezhou to buy these things, and then quietly bring them to the mountain nest.
These things are bizarre though. Even if they were together, Li Xuzhong couldn't guess what Zhou Bo's plans were. But since he believed in Zhou Bo, he naturally didn't ask anything, and just did what he was told.
That night, while the people in the mountain nest were gradually falling asleep, Li Xuzhong ran to the standing army and selected three capable people. Then he went to two trustworthy people among the ordinary people, and informed them that there was action tomorrow morning, so that they could be prepared in the evening. As for what the action was, it was natural that I didn't tell them.
The next morning, when the sky was still hazy, Zhou Bo gathered Li Xuzhong and the few people found by Li Xuzhong, asked them to bring the guys, and then went down the mountain. They crossed the Han River directly, walked along the shore of the Han River, from north to south, and carefully recorded the military strongholds of the Qi army they saw along the way.
Most of the Qi strongholds of this Qi army had just been built, and those soldiers had not yet had time to arrange patrol duties, so it was much more convenient for Zhou Bo and his party along the way, and they did not encounter any interrogation. Because there were too many military strongholds of the Qi army, they walked along the sweat for a whole day, but they still didn't finish the exploration. There are also hidden strongholds hidden in ravines and deep forests.
However, Zhou Bo did not panic at all, he originally did not plan to end the investigation in a day or two. In the evening, they immediately returned to the east bank of the Han River and returned to the mountain nest.
That night, Zhou Bo called Li Xuzhong and Li Xiucai to summarize and sort out the situation of today's investigation, and drew the location of the strongholds that had been explored on the map.
Another day passed, and Zhou Bo did not act during the day, but after eating in the evening, he called Li Xuzhong and the others and set off down the mountain again. The reason why he chose to go at this time was to find out what the situation of the Qi army's stronghold was like at night.
The Su zhì of the soldiers of the Qi army was naturally very low, and they would hardly leave the stronghold at night to check five hundred meters for patrols. Coupled with the cover of night, Zhou Bo's investigation went very smoothly.
In this way, Zhou Bo conducted half a month of reconnaissance with a face, often intersecting day and night to execute. During the day, it is necessary to find the location of the strongholds, record the strength of each stronghold, and find out how close the strongholds are to each other. In the evening, it is a detailed study of the patrol.
At the same time, Li Xiucai, Wang Shanwu and Chen Chuan are also intensively preparing those things on the list. Wang Shanwu is a hunter expert, and it is a piece of cake to set up traps, as for those portable traps, there is still a set of methods, so some were quickly made. However, when he and Chen Chuan began to make the mechanism on Zhou Bo's drawings, they immediately sighed a little, what are these things, they have never seen them before!
Zhou Bo liked to lurk in military forums in the 21st century, so he knew a lot about the ancient institutions studied in the 21st century. Although these organs originated from ancient times, they were all relatively advanced military organs, and of course Wang Shanwu and Chen Chuan did not know about them. Some of the drawings he drew were trap crossbows, others were stone throwers, and some of them could not even be named. However, the characteristic of these traps is that they can be tied together with ropes, and the position of the traps is tied to the firing position, and all of them can be activated as soon as the rope is pulled.
Of course, reloading ammunition is not something that can be done by one person, and it is conceivable that Zhou Bo only uses them as disposable tools.
As for Li Xiucai, he followed a few people, changed into some veneer clothes, pretended to be a descendant of the urban and rural gentry in Ezhou County, and went to the city to buy some firecrackers. In fact, in the Song and Yuan dynasties, China's firearms were already very developed, and on the battlefield of the Song Dynasty against the Jin people, there were records of military firearms more than once or twice. Not to mention the firecrackers used in the New Year, which are already mass-produced things.
These days, although the list of materials is not fully prepared, it is getting more and more in place. These things are carefully stored in the barracks of the Standing Army of the Mountain Nest, and outsiders can only see that something has been moved in, but they don't know what they are. Soon, however, news spread in the nest, and soon there was a new action.
Although there are some angry people who think that Boss Zhou is not interesting enough and always prepares by themselves, more people are grinding their fists and ready to do it at any time.
On the 20th of February, after more than half a month of reconnaissance and accounting of the strength of all Qi strongholds, Zhou Bo concluded that there was no missing stronghold. Now, he has mastered the first-hand information on the layout of the Qi army, if he now has an army of 20,000, he can immediately attack Hanshui, and he will be able to take Yingzhou within three days. It's a pity that he now has less than 600 people in his hands.
After he finished sorting out the intelligence of the Qi army, he immediately arranged for Li Xiucai to send people to Ezhou to buy a hundred flags. Of course, it was impossible to buy military flags casually, so he only asked Li Xiucai to buy ordinary flags with the same color as the Song army's military flags.
Since Li Xiucai had infiltrated the city not long ago, he naturally had experience in this task, so he went out that morning and brought back a hundred flags in the evening. Anyway, Zhou Bo's requirements are not so strict, even a piece of cloth the same size as the Song Army's military flag is fine. (To be continued.) )
