"Fifth brother. The list that Master Li asked people to send. ”
The training of the recruit camp is in full swing. Every morning, when you go outside Liulin Town to the edge of the Han River, you will remember the neat and loud slogans of the team.
The sound of messy footsteps blended into one little by little over time.
The weather in early winter, one foot without shoes, but it can be very memorable.
Seeing that the new barracks were proceeding, Liu Xian's eyes naturally divided into some and aimed at the county seat. It has been a month since Li Ying last came to Liulin Town, and more than 50 mountain splitting cannons have been cast, almost using up the iron materials in the county government's inventory.
The Deng family, the Hu family and other powerful people have purchased mountain splitting cannons from the county seat, the number is different, more or less, but the attitude is expressed, and how much they have cast in private is not something that Liu Xian's current energy can be explored.
In today's Chenggu County, the only person who can roughly know the number of mountain splitting cannons in the hands of each powerful family is Li Ying and Li Dazhi County.
In the past few letters in a month, Li Ying and Liu Xian mainly communicated with this one thing.
In the last letter, Li Ying told Liu Xian, Deng Yuzhang and others were ready to form a group to push the boss again. The target was the rebel army in Yangxian County in the east.
Now the definite news has been obtained, the Deng family, the Li family, the Wang family, the Meng family, the Yang family, the Hu family, the highest-level family in Chenggu County have 3,000 soldiers, as many as 20 mountain splitting cannons, more than 300 shotguns, and 89 artillery guns of other types, and are preparing to gather eastward in three days to attack the Li Lan military headquarters in Yangxian County.
Li Lanjun, who stayed in Yangxian County, is Xie Huayao, the wife of Lan Chaozhu, and most of the women and children in the Blue Camp are stationed in Yangxian County. Of course, there is also the gold and silver treasures that Li Lanjun has grabbed in the past few months.
Li Ying told Liu Xian in the letter that the Deng family and others had the meaning that he was a shield. They attacked Yangxian in the east, and it was very likely that the Lan Chaozhu of Nanzheng Mansion City would send troops to attack Chenggu to besiege Wei and save Zhao.
Liulin Town is the west gate of Chenggu, and Liu Xian bears the brunt.
In the letter, Li Ying did not indicate that Liu Xian could retreat to the county seat if he felt invincible. But that meaning was faintly revealed.
"Xiucai, write back to me. Sue our county magistrate, saying that he will guarantee that Liulin Town will not let the blue thief step further, so that he can rest easy in the county. Oh, by the way, but also look carefully to the east, and be careful to shop the town second. ”
Poof, laughter rang out from the room.
"Write two more notices, one is for us to recruit Ding Zhuang's laborers, and the other is to tell the people in the town to take refuge in the county. Inform the squire and let them come forward to organize. ”
"Yes!"
Fan Debang replied loudly.
The room fell silent, and Liu Xian's eyes were fixed on the simple map hanging on the wall, and he fell into deep meditation. This re-battle is no better than the previous Su Yi, and after a month of time, he has already figured out who the Su Zi banner is. Su Yi is only one of the leaders of the blue battalion, but Lan Chaozhu is the leader of the whole army, he wants to divide the division into Chenggu, encircling Wei and saving Zhao is by no means the whole purpose, by the way, take Chenggu, and connect it in Yangxian and other places, it will be his idea.
With such an army, there will not be too many people in ten thousand!
The current chief soldier of Hanzhong Town is Chen Tianzhu, and his ability is much stronger than the previous Eight Banners disciple Buketan. Although Yangxian was depressed for a while after the defeat, it is now cheering up again. According to the news sent back by Nan Zheng, the current Fucheng is stable, Lan Chaozhu has failed to touch the overall situation several times, and Chen Tianzhu seems to have stabilized the decline of the Fucheng!
Now that Lan Chaozhu is defeated under the Fucheng, the possibility of wanting to take the Fucheng in one go is very small. In this way, his best choice is to go east to Chenggu, take Chenggu and connect it with Yangxian and other places!
Even if Deng Yuzhang couldn't wait for this moth, Liu Xian had already made a judgment that sooner or later the Blue Dynasty Pillar Army would attack the city in the east. Liulin Town bore the brunt of the situation, and he was also prepared in his heart, and the current situation was just a little bit earlier.
……
Compared with the hurried escape of the previous time, the retreat of Liulin Town this time was much calmer. At the same time, there are many more people who stay in the town and do not want to take refuge in the county seat, counting no less than 1,000 people.
Regardless of whether Liu Xian's reputation in other towns in Chenggu has dropped a lot, anyway, in Liulin Town, he is still the savior and a hero.
The young men in the town, together with the young men from the surrounding villages, had a total of 300 people who applied for labor, which was quite unexpected by Liu Xian.
What he didn't expect was that at noon on the third day, the hometown of Shuangxi, Liu Xian and others, the men from the Qinling Mountains in the north of Chenggu, rushed to more than 100.
Liu Xian's heart was warm, and more than 100 men had either received the favor of themselves or their fathers, or were relatives of Liu Zhuo, Qi Dalin, Zhou Jun and others, and after hearing the news that Liulin Town was going to see the battle again, they all rushed to help.
When he saw so many familiar faces at once, Liu Xian's eyes were wet. Compared with the cold family affection in his previous life, the current Chinese people are more simple and affectionate!
In the surging excitement, he ignored the problem of clan bonds, which would give him a headache in the future. Liu Xian's heart was full of emotion.
Thousands of soldiers, four hundred young and strong, and there are so many people in the town who support him, Liu Xian looked at the western sky, and waited for the arrival of Lan Chaozhu, the great Han Xianwang army.
Twelve mountain-splitting cannons were placed on the top of the brick wall, thigh-thick logs with green brick clay, and clay from small kilns, and strong forts were erected on the top of the brick wall.
Since he knew that Lan Chaozhu's army would divide a part of the main force to attack, if Liu Xian still arranged the few mountain splitting cannons in his hands in the open air, he would be a mallet.
Mao Zhenshou, Buktan, and Chen Tianzhu didn't know how many one or two thousand pound heavy guns they had lost to Li Lanjun, although the range of the heavy artillery was not very good compared to its European counterpart, but there was no pressure to kill the 150-pound mountain splitting cannon.
Naturally, Liu Xian could no longer place the mountain splitting cannon in the open air, without protection. You can't pin your hopes on the super poor gunners of Li Lanjun, or the blue Chaozhu has Ada, and the soldiers and horses sent don't bring any heavy artillery, right?
Everyone went down to do it, not only the young and strong laborers recruited, but also the logs, green bricks, and clay were desirable in the vicinity, and the soil cement had been prepared a long time ago, and the twelve small enclosed forts on the four walls, plus the reinforcement of the four corner towers in the corners, and the work was completed in a total of two days.
On the third day, relatives and friends from Sungai's hometown arrived. Therefore, with enough time, the soil cement can be solidified before Li Lanjun arrives.
The situation in the next two days was just as Liu Xian imagined, as soon as the team of Deng Yuzhang and others was assembled, both Yangxian and Fucheng received letters. Not to mention the reaction of Yangxian, the army of Lan Chaozhu immediately moved.
After the defeat of Liulin last month, Su Yibu, who was stationed in Puzhen, immediately set out to move. A large number of chariots and horses were recruited from the village, and then Lan Chaozhu's cronies and generals, Cai Changling, led tens of thousands of troops from the city of Nanzheng Mansion to the east.
The people sent by Liu Xian failed to find out how many heavy artillery Cai Changling carried, and it can only be affirmed that Li Lanjun definitely brought cannons!
