After Liu Tichun left, Li Guo continued to check the loot.

Because nearly 9,000 enemies were killed and a lot were captured, Li Guo was happy when he looked at the mountains of seizures.

Two hundred thousand arrows shot at the enemy and horses were pulled out. In addition, the arrows on the Houjin soldiers were also collected, and each of them was equipped with twenty arrows, and the nine thousand people killed had nearly one hundred thousand arrows. All arrows have been reequipped.

There are also nine thousand sabers, longbows, spears, and so on.

The 9,000 pieces of the Eight Banners' uniforms were all stripped off, Liu Tichun took 2,000 pieces, and there were 7,000 left, and Li Guo also packed them up.

Although most of the horses were shot to death, only two thousand war horses remained, which is quite a lot. And the horse that was shot to death could cut off the meat and stew it. Now that the weather is cold, the horse meat can also be put away. As a result, not only did these soldiers eat horse meat, but the left-behind people in Fugu, Hequ and other places also got some from each family. All of a sudden, the morale of the soldiers and civilians was high.

After the Protectors were brought up, they were not allowed to go back. Li Guo knew that the battle was not over yet, and there was still a fight, and Houjin suffered such a big loss, they would never be able to forget it like this, they would still come.

But Li Guo was not afraid, Li Guo had 5,000 elite soldiers at the beginning, all of them were cavalry. After defeating Balhu and training another 2,000 cavalry, now after defeating Azig, because he has horses again, Li Guo picked out 1,500 people out of more than 20,000 land protection regiments, and trained another 2,000 people with the 500 people brought by Princess Ulan! Together with the two thousand children's soldiers, there were eleven thousand in all.

Liu Tichun took 2,000 people with him, and there were more than 1,000 child soldiers left behind in the old camp. Therefore, there are now 8,000 elite soldiers guarding Xikou Pass, which is the strength that Li Guo mainly relies on.

The nearly 20,000 people in the land protection regiment still have a certain combat effectiveness because they have always been sent to the land protection regiment as leaders by Li Guo's original veterans. People like Zhang Dong in Zhao Town, Qu Bo in Li Zhen, Li Wancai in Daliu Town, Dai Zuoxin in Wang Zhuang and others can now be independent. Therefore, the land protection regiment was divided into a team of 5,000 people, organized into an army, and led by the four of them.

Therefore, there are nearly 30,000 people guarding the entire Xikou Pass.

Although the number of Li Guo's soldiers and horses seems to be large. But even among the elite soldiers, less than 5,000 are veterans, warriors who can fight well, and the rest are inferior. Therefore, Li Guo does not dare to be careless and complacent at all now.

Because according to the intelligence, Li Guo knew that this time Houjin's soldiers and horses were more than 100,000, and the real elite soldiers should be more than 50,000 or 60,000, and although the rest of the soldiers and horses were not considered elite soldiers, their combat effectiveness was still very strong, which Li Guo could not match.

Li Guo actually doesn't want to fight, Li Guo needs peaceful space development. But Li Guo knows that peace is not made with words, but with strength.

A great man in modern times said it well, a war won 50 years of peace! That's what I'm talking about.

Therefore, Li Guo is ready to fight in line with the principle that if people don't offend me, I won't offend anyone, if you want to offend me, Lao Tzu will kill you. In fact, Li Guo is very confident now, aren't you a large number of elite soldiers? Lao Tzu doesn't fight you! Lao Tzu is not afraid of you, because Lao Tzu is defending the city, and no matter how brave your army is, it will be difficult to attack the city on your back! What's more, it is said that Houjin has not yet built a cannon that can attack the city!

So, Li Guo prepared to defend the city and wanted to block Houjin from the pass.

Although there are a lot of arrows now, almost 400,000, Li Guo feels that it is far from enough.

Because Li Guo has seen the accurate archery of the Earth Protection Group, it is not where to hit, but where to hit, which is quite inaccurate. As a result, the craftsmen who have been building arrows day and night in the old camp have become even busier and want to make more arrows!

But archery still can't be shot by everyone, the elite soldiers are qualified to shoot arrows, and only 5,000 people in the land protection regiment can shoot accurately, acting as archers. The rest were equipped with only a few arrows, mainly broadswords, rattan cards, spears, and maces.

There are also fork rods, flying hooks, yaksha rings, etc., these are ladders to deal with siege enemies, and they are all in charge of special personnel.

It's just that there is no weapon to defend the city, the Franco cannon. I heard from the masters on the three sides that Hong Chengchou was also going to transfer them to them, but after thinking about it for a long time, he only sent them 3,000 thunderbolts.

When he first heard about the Thunderbolt Cannon, Li Guo thought that Hong Chengchou was reluctant to give him a small cannon, which was okay, after all, it was still a cannon!

But when the thunderbolt cannon was transported to Xikou Pass, Li Guo found that this fucking cannon was not a fucking cannon at all, and it was a big mine with a fuse.

Li Guo observed carefully, and then dismantled a few thunderbolts. It was found that the thunderbolt was originally made of gunpowder as the center of the ball, and the outside was a thick hard shell pasted with paper or cloth, the large one was like a watermelon, and the small one was like a melon.

Li Guo frowned, took two and went to find Old Man Qi.

"Master, is this thing easy to use?" Li asked.

Qi Laohan touched the thunderbolt cannon, "Although the defense is not as good as the Franc machine, it is not as good as the firecracker, but under such difficult conditions, this thing works!" ”

Li Guo nodded, as long as it works, then you might as well do more. Fortunately, this thing is simple and easy to make, so Li Guo ordered someone to copy some. Fortunately, Li Guo was preparing to develop firearms, and there was plenty of gunpowder, and the stock of gunpowder was very large, and most of them were made by himself. **It's very simple, one nitrate, two carbons, three sulfur, Li Guo, the physical and chemical biology who came from this firecracker factory is very clear. This doesn't cost much.

Moreover, in order to increase the power of the thunderbolt cannon, Li Guo improved the thunderbolt cannon according to the construction proposed by the kind-hearted Qi Laohan. The gunpowder ball in the inner core of the thunderbolt cannon added some quicklime, pepper flour and iron nails, and some also added arsenic inside, but the arsenic did not get much for a while, and the arsenic iron nail thunderbolt cannon was much less than the lime iron nail cannon and the pepper flour iron nail cannon. But in this way, I hurried and made another 5,000.

Qi Laohan saw that the things to defend the city were really simple, so he asked Li Guo to prepare the rolling wood and stones to defend the city, which was a lot. Speaking of rolling wood and stones, it is a big stone and a big wood, and it is very convenient to hold a stone and smash it down when it is too late.

In addition, Li Guo also prepared a large amount of oil, water, cauldrons, coal, and so on. There are both water and cauldrons, and coal is a specialty of Shanxi, and there is a lot of it, but there is less oil.

In addition, Qi Laohan asked Li Guo to transport dung from Hequ and Fuguman County.

Li Guoqi said, "Master, what do you want dung?" Hot water and boiling oil are all for scalding the enemy, but what about dung? ”

Qi Laohan reprimanded: "Don't you know about the golden juice? The dung is also boiling, and scalding the enemy has a miraculous effect! ”

It turns out that the dung not only smells strangely smelly, but also burns the enemy, if it is not treated in time, it will inevitably become infected, which may not only make the enemy sick, but also more likely to kill the enemy!

When Li Guo heard what Qi Laohan said, he sent people all over the county to dig for dung, which was pulled out by the soldiers, and Li Guo also regarded it as a treasure and collected it. Fortunately, there are poop pits everywhere, which is convenient for collection.

This is the first time Li Guo has defended the city, and all kinds of matters have been properly prepared. Although the weapons used to defend the city were rudimentary, they were abundant. The ground protection regiment and the elite soldiers were very confident, and like Li Guo, they were excitedly waiting for the arrival of the enemy.

But Li Guo was still not at ease, and called Nie Xin, Zhao Youbin, and Sun Dengke together, and told them to do two more important things!

The first major thing Sun Dengke has already started, Sun Dengke's troupe is already very large-scale, so Sun Dengke transferred all the people in the troupe to Xikou Pass. Prepare to sing.

Nie Xin and the others have another task.
