Chapter 120: Seven Thousand Lives

(2nd Update)

On June 30, Li Luo had been away from Haidong for more than a month.

During this period, the Haidong resettlement area was busy with land development, farming, construction, and military training.

Busy and hot, I can't care about the hot summer in Haidong at all.

There are more than a dozen places in Haidong Company, and basically they are fully staffed. Under Cui Xiuning's daily guidance, he worked hard to put the affairs of the resettlement area on track.

After a month and a half of high-intensity training, the security regiment has made great progress in formation, combat coordination, obedience awareness, physical fitness, archery, and white blades.

Orders are forbidden, discipline is strict, and orders are strict.

The 800-member security regiment is improving its combat strength through training every day, and it is becoming more and more imposing.

Cui Xiuning spends half of his time in the company, half of his time in the security corps, and occasionally goes to the countryside to inspect Tuntian, which can be described as extremely hard.

Her whole body has lost a lot of weight, and she has also darkened a lot, but it is difficult to hide her natural beauty.

Li Luo has been gone for a month, and she is also a little unaccustomed. I can't see the fugitives every day, and I don't feel steady for no reason.

I missed it a little.

Now that the immigration authorities in Haidong are all on track, it stands to reason that she can leave. But the Shengfan coalition is like a sword of Damocles, so she doesn't dare to leave lightly.

Today is the end of the month, and in the morning, Cui Xiuning held a monthly meeting according to the "Haidong Brief Law".

In addition to the company's officials at or above the department level, there are also officers above the head of the security team, as well as the heads of each village.

Lin Biju, manager of Haidong Company, first reported the company's work results to Cui Xiuning in public.

“…… A total of 5,400 stone of summer wheat and 3,200 stone of early rice can be harvested, and 1,080 stone of wheat and 640 stone of rice can be taxed on summer grain......"

"More than 11,000 acres of newly opened land. More than 22,000 acres of late rice were planted...... It is expected that more than 40,000 stone of late rice can be harvested in October......"

"The woodcutter team has cut down more than 180 large pine trees, which have been made into ship timber and exposed to the sun, which can build a large ship with thousands of materials."

"The foundation of the public compound, barracks, official treasury, hospital, shipyard and other projects has been laid, and it is expected to be completed in August."

"Today it has a population of more than 6,100 people, including 807 security guards...... In June, various official expenditures cost more than 600 stone of grain, more than 760 taels of silver, and 12,000 catties of iron...... The above does not include military pay and military expenses. ”

After the manager Lin Biju finished reporting, the supervisor Gong Kan spoke again, and then reported one by one in the following places.

Cui Xiuning attaches great importance to the report of the craftsman's department. The person who reported to the craftsman department was Gu Kai, the supervisor and chief master craftsman.

“…… The cobbler has concocted more than 140 pieces of deer skin and wild boar skin used as leather armor according to the requirements, and the blacksmith has made more than 30,000 pieces of iron...... The above materials can produce more than 30 pairs of composite new armor in August......"

Cui Xiuning couldn't help frowning when he heard that more than 30 pairs of composite armor only came out in August. But she didn't blame Gu Kai, and it was already very fast to get out of the armor in August.

Because, Gu Kai made the latest composite armor, which was more advanced than the Ming Dynasty cover armor and cotton armor. Not only iron but also leather should be used.

Slow is slow in the process of nitrate leather. It takes a month or two to harden the soft animal skin.

Wait until a large number of skins are nitrated, survive August, and the composite nail can be produced in batches.

Gu Kai continued to report: "Eighteen newly-made divine arm bows, six stone cannon machines, four bed crossbows, and five hundred five-foot bed crossbow giant arrows......"

"Today, there are sixty-eight craftsmen of all kinds, seventy-two apprentices of all kinds, and forty-five helpers, making a total of one hundred and eighty-five people."

Cui Xiuning is very satisfied, Li Luo is still very good at using people and delegating power, this Gu Kai is very powerful.

Halfway through the meeting, a horn sounded.

"Uh......h Whining! ”

Cui Xiuning Huo Ran stood up and shouted: "The Shengfan coalition army is out of the mountain, act according to the plan!" Meeting! ”

The generals of the security regiment were suddenly overjoyed, and they all folded their sleeves and said: "These wild men are finally here!" ”

Cui Xiuning has already rehearsed the plan to deal with the Shengfan coalition army several times, and this time she didn't need to make any more arrangements, so everyone went their separate ways.

The company organized the people to collect it as soon as possible.

The village chiefs, who were also the captains of the peasant soldiers, immediately gathered the peasant soldiers of their own villages and joined the security regiment.

The security corps immediately assembled and mobilized.

Cui Xiuning had already arranged a patrolling cavalry outpost at the foot of the mountain in the east, and as soon as the brigade appeared, he would immediately warn him.

Shengfan is still more than 20 miles away, Cui Xiuning will get the news, and the reaction time is more than enough.

"Woo woo woo ......"

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

All the people of the villages in the east moved to the west at this time. On the contrary, the security regiment quickly pulled out its camp and marched eastward.

At the same time, groups of peasants and soldiers, led by their respective village chiefs, gathered from all directions to the security regiment.

From the time the alarm was received to the completion of the meeting of the peasants and the security regiment, it only took more than three quarters of an hour.

At this time, the Shengfan Brigade only walked out of six or seven miles.

Cui Xiuning is wearing black Japanese-style armor and a Japanese sword at his waist, looking heroic and majestic, and he is a "Ji samurai".

She was surrounded by generals such as Hu Gu, Yang Xu, and Zhu Jaw on the left and right, behind her were the security guards in a strict queue, and then behind were more than 1,000 peasant soldiers with weapons, and on the flanks were dozens of cavalrymen.

In front is the crossbow fleet, and the stone cannon machine, the god arm bow, and the bed crossbow are three kinds of big killing weapons.

A black banner was erected in the military formation of the security regiment, and on the banner, there was a picture of yin and yang.

Looking at the two thousand troops in front of and behind him, even if Cui Xiuning was a woman, she was also high-spirited and excited at this time, and suddenly had a sense of pride and ambition.

More than half a year ago, she was a police officer. At the police academy that year, she organized dozens of juniors and sisters to have a small drill at most.

More than half a year later, she actually commanded an army of 2,000 in the Cold Weapon Era on Treasure Island and fought a decisive battle with the enemy.

There is nothing more strange than this.

Who says women can't do it?

Women's good, Hua Mulan, Mrs. Xian, Princess Pingyang, Qin Liangyu, aren't they all good generals?

At this time, the 2,000-strong army stayed on the spot, waiting for the rest of the work, and waited for the life to approach.

Although it is still more than ten miles away, because it is on the plain, you can already see the hustle and bustle brought by the Shengfan brigade.

Looking at it from afar, there is a faint tide, and I don't know how many people and horses there are.

"The enemy is near, and our army is on standby. Please show me! The head of the regiment, Hu Gu, saluted.

"The crossbow fleet is loaded with stone bullets and crossbow arrows. The cavalry continued to probe, and the others sat down and rested and drank water in place! ”

"No!" Tiger Gu commanded.

"Madame has an order, the crossbow fleet is ready to load, the cavalry team continues to investigate, and everyone else sits down to rest and drink water!"

Hugu rode on his horse and ordered loudly. Of course, he knew that he should do this at this time, and the reason why he asked Cui Xiuning was to respect her, not that he didn't understand.

However, Cui Xiuning's order still made Hu Gu a little admired.

With the size and speed of the Shengfan coalition army, it is estimated that it will take another hour to get closer. For such a long time, it is stupid to stand and wait in the scorching sun, it is physically exhausting.

A quarter of an hour later, the Shengfan coalition army had already entered the ten-mile range, and several cavalrymen reported on their horses.

"Madam, the Shengfan Brigade is more than seven thousand!"

Two thousand versus seven thousand?

All the generals looked at each other, all secretly thinking: winning will definitely be able to win, depending on how big the price is on their side. This battle is a bit difficult, but I hope the casualties will not exceed 100.

Cui Xiuning suddenly felt that her legs were a little weak, her heart was beating hard, and her mouth was very dry. Especially when the weather is so hot and he is wearing leather armor, he suddenly sweats at this time.

However, her face was not at all silent, and even showed a look of indifference and indifference, and her posture stood upright.

All the generals showed respect, Mrs. is really a heroine, Pingyang is alive, and she does not lose half a point to men.

Only Cui Xiuning herself knew that her hand holding the sword was already full of sweat.

No one knew how nervous she was.
