Chapter Seventy-One: Epilogue

When the afterglow of the early morning once again shrouded the camp of the Tutuan coalition forces outside the city,

"That's a win?。。"

Zhou Huai'an looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief.

Everywhere were littered with banners of armoured canes and dejected captives, and corpses, most of whom had trampled each other to death, and in such a twisted and struggling manner, laid out on the burned ground and ashes in twos and threes. At a cursory glance, I'm afraid there aren't hundreds of people.

thought that it would be able to drag down and fatigue the opponent overnight, so as to create an opportunity for more wounded and sick brigades to break through and transfer; But I didn't expect that the effect was obviously too good, or that the performance of these Tutuan troops was too unbearable; actually frightened the other party's camp and continued to chaos without a fight, and as a result, everything that could run after dawn ran away.

This result also reminded him of a joke he had heard when he was in Africa; Probably a project base of a domestic aid unit in Africa was robbed by a group of local militia because of the turmoil and coup d'Γ©tat in the country where it was located; As a result, these black uncles, wielding assault rifles and rocket launchers, were actually led by veterans among the construction workers, and fled with tools such as hoes and shovels, and some firearms were also seized;

Since then, it has become a temporary Internet joke, and it has once again proved the correctness of the theory of sheep and lions. Perhaps these Tutuan armies are just the level of the later African Black Uncle militia.

As a result, the plan could not keep up with the changes, and the measures and means prepared in advance were obviously useless; The next thing to do was to reorganize and drive more men and laborers from the city to clean up the battlefield, and to clean up and carry back all the materials that could be used.

After all, it is a camp of thousands of people, and even if it is overfired, there are still many things left; There are more than 1,000 weapons of length and length of knives, guns, swords, sticks, axes, and hammers alone, and there are more than 100 variegated armors at the bottom of the pressure box; There are also five or six hundred stone of husked rice and nearly 1,000 stone of dried beans, hundreds of thousands of catties of rice straw and hay bales, two hundred pieces of coarse fine cloth and dozens of horses of silk yarn, twenty-three bundles of new and old leather, and even dozens of catties of strip Tianzhu cotton (short-staple upland cotton) and thirty feet of white stack (the earliest earthen cotton cloth). . . .

For Zhou Huai'an, these last two are really good things, and having them means cotton coats, sleeping bags and other clothes that can keep warm and cold, and other clothes that are more comfortable than linen and coarse silk.

Other wine, sauce, salt, dried vegetables, fruits, vegetables, poultry and livestock, all add up, which can be regarded as a lot of benefits and supplements to the current rebel army in Changle County; Among the personal belongings of the leaders of the Tu Clan, they also found three large boxes of copper coins, a bag of small silver cakes and silver collars of poor color, black and yellow, dozens of fine cloth clothes, and many small pieces of jewelry and small objects.

Most of these belongings were distributed by Zhou Huai'an on the spot according to the merit and degree of contribution; It can be regarded as buying and winning people's hearts in disguise. Only a few supplies and the bag of variegated silver cakes and silver collars were kept for him privately, which were counted as the cost of carrying it in the future and the belongings of the family to make a living again.

However, what is more sighing is that more than 30 people died last night, mainly because they were injured in the city to defend against the enemy, which caused the injury to deteriorate and could not be treated. On the contrary, none of the more than 200 men who attacked overnight were killed, but only about one-tenth were injured, most of them were caused by falling or stumbling due to limited visibility at night.

Seven or eight of the cavalry members were wounded, and they were scratched by obstacles in the chaos or burned by the spreading fire, and the frontal battle was almost unscathed.

"It's really accurate to be fed by the tube head."

Despite this, Liu Liumao was still a little elated.

"At night, these thieves are blind."

"When I was startled, I was like a moth to a fire."

"Pile up where there is light, but it saves us the effort to find it."

"It's really painful to slash and slash."

Saying this, he couldn't help but show a slightly reverent expression

"It is said that the head of the pipe has the ability to pinch and calculate, pursue advantages and avoid disadvantages,"

"I also know a lot of skills that have been lost in ancient times."

"Admittedly, you won't lie to me."

"Can you pinch it?" "Seek advantages and avoid disadvantages?" , Zhou Huai'an couldn't help but smile in his heart, this is just a little bit of practical application of the experience of survival in the wild on the basis of the knowledge of climate phenomena and geography in later generations, and maybe a little experience of historical examples.

However, this thing is really difficult to explain and explain to them; He can only use excuses such as "this must be your mistake" and "it's actually just a coincidence", and in the obviously unbelieving eyes around him, he didn't mention it.

The next step is to continue to send pursuers/scouts, following the trail of those defeated Tutuan armies to see if they can expand some more results; and then escorted these captures back to the city to show off their might, in order to deter/calm people's hearts;

Next, those who have fled are reassembled/searched for and justifiably punished and reassigned to servitude. For those who did not flee in the first place and stayed behind, material rewards and encouragement were also given, and even priority was given to being armed.

After the initial management of the city was lifted, Zhou Huai'an made the decision to take out the captured grain to recruit more young men and women, and simply arm them, especially those who had participated in the cooperative defense of the city to be promoted to a limited extent; In this way, Zhou Huai'an's subordinates slowly recovered, and there were more than 700 armed men of mixed quality.

Although it is still useless to fight field battles outside the city, it is obviously more than enough to maintain order in the city and create a momentum externally under the leadership of these righteous soldiers who have become familiar with their hands; Anyway, this is the case for everyone in this era.

The next step is to get in touch with the headquarters of the Furious Wind Camp that is in front of us and resume transportation. However, with the current strength in Zhou Huai'an's hands, it is still a little weaker, except for the cavalry and direct teams that have been sent out to finish, the rest of the people can only barely control the situation in Changle County with less control, and even the surrounding suburbs have no way to take care of it.

However, in fact, there is no need to take it into account, these suburban villages that can still do some business with the city have almost been harmed by these local soldiers; Then many people had to become displaced people and run all the way to Changle City to avoid disaster and make a new living.

As a result, a considerable part of the newly recruited soldiers and servants came from these groups of people who had suffered from the Tutuan army. After that, there is only a short transition time of trimming and waiting.

。。。。。。。。。。。

At the same time, under the city of Xunzhou Prefecture,

"Haven't you taken it down yet?"

Wang Pan, who hadn't washed his face for several days and his eyes were red, only felt that his beard was going to stand up

"This is the first time I've been to the city."

"Time and leeway are running out for the headquarters."

"It's really that those official dogs are too treacherous."

Captain Zhou Pang, who looked like half of his body was bandaged, gasped and said in pain.

"They poured oil on the city, and laid charcoal on their feet."

"Our brethren were so easy to kill that they were not divided into each other's fires."

"The whole two teams of people who attacked returned a dozen wounded."

"Then let me personally lead the team to attack."

Wang Pan couldn't help but say a little viciously.

"I don't believe that after burning down the city, what else can they use to resist."

There was fierce opposition to the left and right.

"Commander, don't do it"

"You are the last hope in the camp, and you must not miss anything."

"Without you in the camp, I'm afraid that people's hearts will be unstable."

It's no wonder that Wang Pan is so worried, the disguised limitations of the Angry Wind Camp are in this dilemma under the city, and it is already the last day of the expectation; These defenders, who seem to have suffered heavy casualties, are still as tenacious as ever, and people can't gnaw down, but in the middle of only a line away from the city, private goods hang people's minds;

Although there is no problem in the replenishment of manpower for the time being due to the large number of people who have joined the road and the supply capacity in the rear, the loss of grain and grass equipment is real.

Once these things are cut off or unable to continue, he can only abandon the brigade and move in with the most basic old foundations; However, if he does this, he is afraid that the Angry Wind Battalion, which he has grown up so easily, will be beaten back to its original form again, how can he be willing?

"The road back is flooding."

At this time, the intrusion of a messenger made him suddenly calm down again, and then turned nervous again.

"Well, have you arrived?"

After a while, Wang Pan was already laughing loudly after his unbelievable expression, turning his worries into joy.

"The virtual monk deserves to be the virtual monk."

"This easily relieved my worries."

"Come and step up the siege with me, don't worry about what is running out of supplies"
