Chapter 64 Indoor Artificial Rainfall

As mentioned last time, Zhou Xue persuaded Bu Qi not to ask for death, but Bu Qi not only did not listen to the persuasion, but also wanted to drag Zhou Xue to burn him to death.

Just as Bu Qi was about to throw the oil lamp to the ground and light the oil, a bucket of water suddenly fell from the top of his head, like a downpour, drenching Bu Qi into a soup chicken. The oil lamp that he was about to throw out in his hand was naturally also drenched in smoke by this artificial rain.

Bu Qi was drenched by this bucket of water, and stood there in the hall, keeping a wave of his hand and not moving, with the water droplets dripping down his body, like a wax statue that began to melt under the high temperature baking.

Zhou Xue was startled by Bu Qi's movements and the sudden fall of the water, it was a real jump, because the water splashed everywhere, she was not far from Bu Qi, and reflexively jumped back to avoid the splash. Even though she jumped, a large chunk of her skirt was wet.

After jumping, she naturally looked at the roof in the direction where the water poured, and saw that a lot of the roof tiles had been removed, revealing a large hole where she could see the blue sky, and two Shu soldiers looked down, one of them was carrying a bucket in his hand.

Needless to say, it was these two Shu soldiers who secretly climbed onto the roof, uncovered the tiles, and saw the oil lamp in Buqi's hand and poured a bucket of water down, and extinguished the oil lamp.

Just as Zhou Xue was still looking at the sky and Bu Qi was still in a daze, the Shu soldiers who had been waiting at the door of the lobby for a long time rushed in, pressed Bu Qi to the ground, tied his hands and feet, and soon tied him into a zongzi.

Zhou Xue clasped her fists and saluted Liu Hou, who came in, and said, "Thank you Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince for saving your life." If it weren't for this bucket of water, Zhou Xue believed that it was very likely that she would become a roast pig, and this bucket of water was obviously arranged by the young prince in front of her.

Liu Hou was very strange why Zhou Xue was not a woman's blessing, but a fist salute, how did he know that Zhou Xue had been in the military camp since he was a child, and he was used to seeing such a man's salute method, so he naturally used it.

However, Liu Hou didn't care, waved his hand and said: "Little meaning, of course I will do what I promised you, and I hope you don't forget what you promised." Especially this life-saving grace, but you can only repay it with a personal promise. For teasing this beautiful girl, Liu Hou has no psychological burden at all.

It's just that he asks a young girl to repay the favor with her body so nakedly, and if people hear it, they will definitely scold him for being shameless, and they will definitely scold him for their inferior character.

Zhou Xue's face turned red and lowered her head shyly, she didn't agree to anything at all just now, but she took the initiative to enter the lobby to persuade Bu Qi to surrender, is it tantamount to acquiescing to Liu Hou's conditions?

"But I can save him for a while, but I can't save him for the rest of my life. If he is bent on death, sooner or later he will still find a short-term vision, and I can only tie him up temporarily. You still have to persuade him more and let him untie the knot is the best policy. Liu Hou said again.

Zhou Xue agreed, and went out behind the soldiers who carried the steps. Liu Hou solved this last big * trouble, and was in a good mood, while strolling around this huge Thorn History Mansion, while learning about the situation of occupying the city.

Soon, news from all sides came back one after another:

"South Street was cleared, and 1,357 enemies were annihilated."

"Our department has taken control of the official warehouse, and the whole battalion of 500* people is currently stationed in the official warehouse, please instruct."

"I found that the brigade of Eastern Wu soldiers escaped from the north gate, the number is about 5,000 people, and a regiment has been chased out, please ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for instructions."

"Our unit captured 7,399 enemy troops, and has now been escorted to the East Barracks......"

……

Most of the news was good news, and the entire city was quickly controlled by the Shu army. Liu Hou also constantly issued new orders in response to various situations, and the entire army was like an arm in his hands as the signal corps continued to run back and forth.

With the remnants of the Eastern Wu soldiers being killed, caught, and fled, the noisy Panyu City gradually settled down. Except for patrols sent to strengthen patrols in the city, the rest of the soldiers were gathered and strictly ordered to return to the barracks and not to go out innocently. Save them from doing things that disturb and hurt the people.

Liu Hou also ordered people to post a notice to calm the people, and sent people to beat gongs and drums street by street and alley to inform the people that the Han Dynasty had recovered its territory, and the Han army had committed no offense against the people, so please live in peace.

In this battle, the Shu army captured more than 30,000 Eastern Wu soldiers, killed more than 40,000, and countless others escaped from the city. Now, the baggage team can be replenished with a large number of manpower. Previously, due to the shortage of manpower caused by the transfer of personnel to supplement the vine armor army, he was suddenly compensated for the excess.

More than 10 officials of Panyu City, including Buqi, were captured, most of the rest were killed in battle, and a small number escaped from the city.

Most of the large and small granaries in the city were preserved, and only a few small granaries were broken and burned by the Eastern Wu soldiers. It can be said that this result is very good, especially the granary, at first Liu Hou didn't have much hope of keeping so many granaries.

He used hot air balloons to drop a large number of leaflets, just to encourage the people in the city and bring some trouble to Buqi, even if he sent Zhou Xue, he didn't expect her to do anything. Unexpectedly, both of these tricks brought him unexpected surprises.

The granaries in the city were almost completely preserved, which was arguably the greatest gain of his battle. If you have food in your hands, you don't panic in your heart, and it's easy to do things when you have food.

He asked Fei Yi to immediately arrange for manpower to open the official warehouse to provide relief to those who were in the flood and the disaster caused by this siege.

Although he was worried about Jingzhou and Guan Gong, Liu Hou knew that he was beyond the reach of the whip, so he did not order to go north immediately, but honestly rested in Panyu City.

The soldiers of the various units who were damaged in battle need to be replenished; The training of the newly recruited soldiers in the Fujijia Army is still very insufficient, and further training is needed; Some time ago, the war weapons, ammunition and various materials were consumed in large quantities and needed to be replenished; There are too many captives and need to be digested slowly......

Everything is complicated, which is also the reason why he has to stop and rest. Not long after, a batch of new barrels and ammunition arrived from Chengdu, which made Liu Hou feel a lot more confident.

After a series of battles, many of the barrels of the musketeers have been damaged, and a lot of ammunition has been consumed, and this batch of supplies is really timely to replenish. The supply line was too long to transport things from Chengdu to Lingnan, and even if Liu Hou had a baggage team of tens of thousands of people, he could not supply them in time.

This made Liu Housheng want to establish a firearms workshop in Lingnan, but he dismissed this idea when he remembered that the workshop in Jingzhou might now fall into the hands of the enemy. These things are too important, they need to be kept secret, and it is better to keep them on their own turf, although it is a little difficult to transport, but compared to leaks, this difficulty seems to be nothing.

With the baggage team and some graduates of the college, Liu Hou is very happy that he is now occupying more and more territory, and the problem of manpower shortage is becoming more and more prominent.

There is one person in this batch of graduates, he is Zhao Yun's eldest son Zhao Tong. Zhao Yun has a total of two sons, one is named Zhao Tong and the other is Zhao Guang, both of whom are studying in the academy.

Zhao Guang is still young and continues to stay in the academy to study, while Zhao Tong is already fourteen years old, and he has long been red when he saw Zhang Bao and Guan Xing following His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to the east and west, but Zhao Yun is very strict with these two sons, and resolutely disagrees with them to come out to fight too early, and must let them stay in the academy to study.

Now Zhao Tong is fourteen years old, which is not small in ancient times, and maybe Zhao Yun feels that he is getting old, it is time to let his son come out to exercise, if he is not allowed to come out now, he will not be able to take care of him for many years, so he agreed to let him come out.

Liu Hou was very happy to see Zhao Tong come to serve in front of the army, and immediately appointed him as the commander of his own army. Liu Hou's personal soldiers now have a battalion of 500* people.

Zhang Bao and Guan Xing both served as the commanders of the musketeers, each commanding a regiment of 1,500* troops. Although Zhao Tong did not lead as many soldiers as them, his subordinates were equipped with the most sophisticated equipment in the whole army, the quality of the soldiers was also the best, and the importance of the pro-military camp was also self-evident.

Therefore, as soon as Zhao Tonggang came to the army, his status was no worse than that of Zhang Bao and Guan Xing, the two old brothers, which shows how much Liu Hou values him.

Liu Hou values Zhao Tong in addition to being related to his father Zhao Yun, but also has his own factors in it. Zhao Tong has been under the strict training and teaching of Zhao Yun since he was a child, and his martial arts are the first of Liu Hou's generation, and Zhang Bao, Guan Xing, Liu Hou and others can't beat this younger brother than them.

In addition, Zhao Tong has studied in the academy for many years, and his scientific and cultural knowledge is many times richer than Zhang Bao and Guan Xing, two wild boys who follow Liu Hou around. Liu Hou looked at his figure, as if he saw Zhao Zilong, who was sassy back then, how could Liu Hou, such a trustworthy figure who was both civil and military, not reused?

Liu Hou also removed Huang Xu from the gendarmerie and promoted him to the commander of the third regiment of the musket team. After this period of observation, Huang Xu's ability and character have been recognized by Liu Hou, taking advantage of this time to rectify the soldiers and horses in Panyu City, Liu Hou finally promoted this rare talent.

The commander of the Fourth Regiment is Guan Suo, but he is now stationed at Hengpu Pass on the Nanling Ancient Road, so he has to be led by Liu Houxian. The Fifth Regiment and the remaining 2,000 quasi-musketeers did not find a suitable person to be the commander of the regiment for the time being, so they had to be managed by Liu Hou.

The musket unit was ho

In the first division of the G Army, Liu Hou, in addition to taking charge of these three regiments, was also the division commander of the entire musket unit, and he was also the army commander. Therefore, he served concurrently from the regiment commander to the division commander to the army commander, and the reason for this funny situation was the serious shortage of talents in the Shu army.

At present, most of the graduates of the academy can only serve as company commanders, and some of them have already been appointed as battalion commanders. They also need time to grow, and they need time to continue to hone before they can take on great responsibilities.

The establishment of the vine armor army is different from that of the musketeers, and it is obviously inappropriate for the cold weapons army to adopt the three-three system of the first army, so Liu Hou asked them to keep the old establishment for the time being.

The most basic unit of the Han Dynasty army was the army, that is, there was a commander for every five people; Two Wu Wei, one for every ten people; Five tithes for teams, one team rate for every fifty people; Two teams are one tun, and every 100 people have a tun chief;

Two tuns are a song, and there is a military marquis for every two hundred people; Two songs into one, one for every four hundred people. Usually every five divisions are a battalion, that is, an independent combat unit, usually commanded by a general or a lieutenant.

There was still not much talent available, so Liu Hou simply divided the Tengjia Army into two divisions, namely the second division and the third division, each with 15,000 people, and Vulture and E Huan served as the commanders of these two divisions respectively.

And Zhao Yun is ho

The deputy commander of the G Army is in charge of the Fujijia Army, so he can also be said to be the commander of the Fujijia Army.

This kind of establishment is a bit confusing, especially the structure of the cold weapon unit is very different, and the name is also very different, which can easily cause misunderstanding and confusion. For example, a battalion of firearms units generally has 500* men, while a battalion of the Fujian Army has 2,000 men, which can easily cause confusion.

However, Liu Hou has no choice now, and the current situation is that firearms and cold weapons coexist, and the army establishment method that has been handed down for thousands of years naturally has its own reason and superiority, and Liu Hou cannot abolish the establishment of the old-style troops at once and replace it with the three-three system.

In that case, it will certainly cause greater confusion among the troops and even affect their combat effectiveness. Therefore, Liu Hou can only temporarily let the cold weapon unit retain the status quo, coexist with the two methods of establishment of the first army, and reorganize it when there is time in the future.

Tens of thousands of captives Liu Hou still habitually threw them to Zhu Bao, asking him to continue to be the Minister of Transportation and lead the baggage team.
