The big car shop is not within the walls of the fortress of Guangfu Town, there is some distance between the two, and it is more like a market outside the town.

Daniel and Lev stood outside the courtyard wall of the cart shop, looking gloomily at the events in the distance.

"I don't know who is doing it?" Lev asked. "Shall we do it now?"

Daniel thought for a while, shook his head, and said: "No, the hospital in Guangfu Town is on the mountain, and now that the town gate is closed and well defended, with the little people in our hands we can't attack it at all, we will only lose our lives in vain!" ”

"And what do you mean?" Lev looked at Daniel, saying that attacking the hospital was just a temptation, but in fact, the two of them thought of going together.

"Take this opportunity, let's withdraw!"

Until dawn, Guangfu Town did not send troops on a large scale, but a few teams of reconnaissance cavalry went out of the fort to inquire about the surrounding situation. The garrisons of several important facilities on the periphery were also on standby, but fortunately they were not attacked by the coalition of horse bandits. Although the power station was attacked, but under the strong defense of the 500 garrison, the horse bandit coalition chose to retreat before the early morning after throwing down more than 200 corpses.

The old scorpion and several high-level officials in Guangfu Town were listening to the report, and they didn't sleep all night, and everyone's faces were not very good.

Liu Jinbao said at this time: "The power station is normal so far, because the other party does not have heavy weapons, so the facilities are still in good condition, except for some fright, the workers are in good condition." However, the loss of herdsmen's land is very severe. We had only a few members of the joint defense there, and although we tried our best to resist, we were outnumbered, and in the end most of the herdsmen withdrew under the cover of our cavalry units and settled in an area closer to our fort. However...... Although we rescued a lot of herders, most of their cattle and sheep were taken away by the attackers. At present, the reconnaissance team has been dispatched, but the enemy is outnumbered and does not dare to follow too close. ”，

The old scorpion stood in front of the window, and although it was far away, the hoarse cries of the herdsmen outside the fort could still be heard. Without cattle and sheep, these herders are basically cut off from life, and if no one comes to the rescue, they will either end up as horse bandits or their families will starve to death.

"These bastards! Don't let me find out where you come from! ”

Alimu shouted. He was the head of commerce in Guangfu Town, a native of Xinjiang in the Qing Dynasty, and was born in a wealthy landlord family in Tacheng. Because he had business dealings with several major groups in the Northeast very early, Alimu was sent to the Northeast by his family to study. A few years ago, he joined the government of the Northeast Autonomous Region and became an official in charge of the trade department in Central Asia. "Mayor, although our town has not suffered any losses, these herders trust us to live in the camp. Now that they have suffered, it will be chilling if we don't avenge them! ”

As soon as this remark came out, everyone talked about it.

Everyone knew that what Alimu said made sense, but the old scorpion didn't answer. In his position, he can't just think about things from a business point of view. Although several reconnaissance companies went out, the enemy came too suddenly, and in addition to the rush of time, if they had to have other ambushes and deliberately lure the enemy deeper, then there would be large-scale losses in troops, and I am afraid that the entire Guangfu Town would be in danger.

"The snow has stopped outside!" It took a long time for the old scorpion to sigh, and he was a little in retreat.

To be honest, as a person in charge, the old scorpion itself is not suitable. His character is more conservative, but less decisive. If last night's attack had been defended by other high-level members of the insurance team, most of them would have sent troops to provide battlefield support and moderate clearance. Because these people believe that with the strength of the cavalry of Guangfu Town, no matter how strong the enemy on the opposite side is, as long as there are no heavy weapons, they are not their opponents. And in case the other side has heavy weapons, they also have the confidence that their cavalry troops will be able to break free from the enemy's trap and return safely.

Just yesterday, when the countermeasures meeting was held, it was not without generals who advocated sending troops, but the old scorpion chose to talk after dawn for the sake of safety. Although this is suspected of delaying the fighter, it is not a mistake in the end. However, there are no troops yet, and the other military attaches who lead the troops are a little unhappy.

Liu Jinbao saw that the atmosphere was not right, and immediately said: "Mayor Town, since the snow has stopped and the wind has stopped, shouldn't our airship also go out and have a look?" ”

There are no large airships in Guangfu Town now, only three small reconnaissance airships piloted by two people. In general, it is one on standby, one for training, and one for maintenance.

The old scorpion nodded, and at this time he seemed to have made up his mind, and said, "Tell all departments, as soon as there is news, set off immediately." ”

"Yes!" The generals rubbed their fists, and the resentment on their brows finally began to dissipate.

After some more arrangements, only the old scorpion and Liu Jinbao were left in the room. The old scorpion said helplessly at this time: "Jinbao, am I too conservative?" ”

Liu Jinbao shook his head and said, "As far as my personal opinion is concerned, in fact, it doesn't matter whether the troops were sent last night or not. However, since the headquarters has handed over the recovery of the town to the mayor, it is also the trust of the mayor from above. Playing it safe is not a bad choice. However, the problem has only just begun, and the whereabouts of the enemies who attacked us are unknown, but since they have snatched a lot of cattle and sheep from the herdsmen, it is common sense that their speed will be affected. Coupled with last night's wind and snow, the weather was cold and the road was slippery, and I think it would be impossible for them to fly far away. ”

"Makes sense!"

"Then with the above judgment, I don't think the enemy side needs us to worry anymore. With the strength of the cavalry of our Northeast Insurance Corps, even in the face of the regular Russian cavalry corps, as long as it is not three times as large as ours, there will not be the slightest danger. Besides, we still have eyes in the sky, and even if those bandits tried to set a trap for us, it would be in vain. Liu Jinbao paused at this time, and then continued: "The enemy's problem is easy to solve, but if we can't effectively resettle the herdsmen who have lost their cattle and sheep, in my opinion, the problem is far greater than that of the horse bandits who have fled!" ”

"We really can't let the herders lose their homes and then chill their hearts! Otherwise, it will be a great obstacle to our rule over this place in the future. Well, let's put these herdsmen who have lost their cattle and sheep to work this winter, anyway, we have a lot of work to do! After the spring flowers bloomed, we used this winter to mobilize a batch of cattle and sheep from the local area and distribute them to them. In this way, their livelihood is also settled, and cattle and sheep are regarded as wages for work. ”

The old scorpion's proposal is neither good nor bad.

Liu Jinbao helped him pick up the missing things, and at this moment, the guards came in and said that Chen Gouzi asked to see him. The old scorpion frowned, and after listening to Chen Gouzi's story, he realized that the Russian soldiers who were hiding in the big car shop actually took advantage of the chaos to escape last night.
