The attack came very suddenly, less than an hour after the old scorpion sent Zhang Jingbao away, he was about to go to bed again, and the gunshots in the distance had already rang out one after another.

"What's going on?" The old scorpion put on his clothes and roared angrily.

The guard then ran in from outside the house and said, "Report." We have just received information that our barracks outside the power station have been attacked by unknown forces, and according to battalion commander Chen Yingzhang, the total number of enemy troops is no less than 1,500. However, it is not yet known whether the night is too dark and whether there are other units on the enemy side. ”

"What about the power plant? Is there a problem with holding on? ”

"This ......"

"What's going on?"

"Battalion Commander Chen Yingzhang's phone was disconnected before he could finish speaking! However, the battle in the direction of the power plant is still fierce, and it is estimated that the enemy should have cut our telephone lines. ”

The old scorpion frowned, thought for a few seconds, and then immediately ordered: "Guangfu Town has a curfew, and those who are not special orders are forbidden to enter and exit!" All units were put on three-level alert, and officers at and above the battalion level immediately went to the headquarters for a meeting. Send a reconnaissance company out to check the situation on the perimeter! ”

The meeting ended in only a quarter of an hour, and although the incident happened suddenly, Guangfu Town was in a dangerous situation, so it was naturally impossible not to have a plan. Prevention is better than prevention, this is what the old scorpion and the entire Guangfu Town have been doing, but the other party chose the first target of attack at the power station, which is somewhat unexpected, but that's all.

"According to the weekday exercises, the implementation of the third plan, I believe that with the joint efforts of all colleagues, we will be able to tide over the difficulties!" The old scorpion shouted at the end of the meeting.

"Yes!"

Guangfu Town soon took action, and the searchlights at the four corners of the siege were the first to be lit, and the darkness around Guangfu Town was instantly cleared. Several out-of-town blocks, including hotels and brothels, were surrounded by the United Defence Force. The outsiders inside were forbidden to take a step into the courtyard, and the violators were directly imprisoned in the dungeon, and once they dared to resist, they would be killed.

Guangfu Town itself is a military fort, built on a mountain, with a solid structure, and there is plenty of food, grass and ammunition inside. Although most of the drinking water is provided by the waterworks outside the city, there are also emergency underground water wells in the town. Unless it is a large-scale divisional and regimental army attack with heavy artillery, an attack on it is tantamount to suicide. Taking 10,000 steps back, even if the Russian army really bothered to use troops against Guangfu Town, with the current strength of the Russian Imperial Army, if it wants to break through the defense of the military fort fortress in Guangfu Town, it will take at least two to three divisions to continue to attack for one to two months, regardless of casualties. This was enough for Wang Yi to directly send the cavalry troops of the insurance team from Inner Mongolia to reinforce them, while the time taken by the air force was even shorter.

The reconnaissance battalion soon returned from outside the town with preliminary information about the attacking forces.

It turned out that the attack was not carried out by a group of people, but a joint attack by more than a dozen horse bandit groups in Central Asia. It is said that it is a horse bandit, but in fact, it is a tribe one by one, they are large and small, and they are basically distributed in the peripheral areas where the strength of Guangfu Town is projected. There were three callers for this attack on Guangfu Town, and they were the patriarch of the Madayir tribe, named Kurmanbek. Ajiahof, the patriarch of the Ducha tribe, and Zhang Bing, a bandit and horse thief who crisscrossed Central Asia and Xinjiang.

The Kurmanbek tribes were originally making a living in the area around Andijan, but the local imam was forced by the Russians to ask his tribes to attack the town.

As for Adakhov, because of the hardships of the tribe's livelihood, coupled with the recent heavy snowfall, countless livestock have frozen to death. Seeing that there were people in the tribe who did not have a meal, he obeyed the instigation of the Russians and was ready to do a vote and feed the old and young in the tribe.

As for the last Zhang Bing, it was completely out of hatred. This person was originally in control of the trade routes from Xinjiang to Central Asia, especially from southern Xinjiang to Central Asia. However, with the rise of Guangfu Town, his business has become more and more difficult to do. His team had tried to plunder the old scorpion's caravan more than once, but in front of the cavalry of Guangfu Town, his army of horse thieves was completely lambs to the slaughter. The huge gap in weapons and equipment between the two sides made Zhang Bing pay a heavy price. Later, the old scorpion couldn't bear it anymore, so he sent a team of 500 people to completely exterminate Zhang Bing's horse thief camp near Urukchati. From now on, the two sides are also enemies of life and death, and water and fire are incompatible. In desperation, Zhang Bing and his brothers who escaped from the guns of the old scorpion cavalry left Xinjiang together and arrived at Tokmak, a border city between Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan, where they became lackeys of the Russians.

Today, in addition to these three parties, there are also small tribes and gangs of horse thieves involved. As for the reasons for their joining, they are also similar to the three. To put it simply, it is Guangfu Town that eats alone, which moves their interests and makes them very unhappy.

Of course, as the saying goes, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, and they don't know how to do things. Although the Russians took the lead, these teams were ostensibly working together, but in reality they were fighting on their own. There was discord between tribes and mutual distrust, and Zhang Bing's relationship with the locals was also very unharmonious.

However, what made the old scorpion feel strange was that there were no official Russian soldiers in this sneak attack team, and later the old scorpion understood that in order to reduce the pressure on them, Wang Yi ordered the insurance team in Mongolia and Xinjiang to move westward appropriately, as a result, the Russians in the border areas of Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan and the Qing Dynasty had no intention of organizing the operation of clearing and suppressing the rebels in Guangfu Town, and were now making every effort to defend against the possible invasion of the Northeast insurance team.

Speaking of which, the total number of this improvised sneak attack team has reached more than 3,000 people, but except for Zhang Bing, most of the others have never fought against Guangfu Town. Therefore, in their minds, the Liberation Town Armed Forces are objects that can be bullied at will, and they may have some ability to resist, but it is not enough to cause them trouble. After all, you can't beat it, just run! In terms of horsemanship, the cavalry of the Han people pressed four legs on the horse, and only ate the ashes of standing behind their buttocks.

At present, it is Kurmanbek and Adakhov and several other small tribes who are attacking the power plant, and the reason why they are the first to attack here is because they have received information that there is a military camp outside the power plant, and there is a battalion or so of troops stationed in Guangfu Town.

Zhang Bing's idea was to first eliminate such a small force on the periphery of Guangfu Town, and then besiege Guangfu Town with all his might. In fact, they were only coming towards these hundreds of people in the barracks, and the power plant was not their target.

As for Zhang Bing himself, he is now heading down the Kizilsu River in front of Guangfu Town, preparing to plunder the cattle and sheep of the herdsmen stationed in the area.
