Chapter 144: Battle Damage
The garrison was staring at hundreds of households, surrounded by burned officers and soldiers, and there were many officers and soldiers behind who could not squeeze in front and could not be used.
This battle was quite aggrieved, and it was clear that there was a group of local chickens and dogs on the opposite side, but they couldn't attack it for a long time.
"Listen, the people on the other side, we are only here to collect food, so quickly lay down your weapons and hand over the food to us, and we will let you go and fight again."
Baihu was aggrieved, but he could only give in.
It's a pity that Li Xiuyuan on the other side didn't think so, and what answered Baihu was a sharp arrow that flew out against his scalp.
Li Xiuyuan withdrew his bow and arrows and looked coldly at the figure in the dark.
"Kill them, not one will be left"
It's ridiculous that they came to attack, but they didn't attack it, and they even expected them to bring them food.
This battle was fought from dark to dawn, until everyone was exhausted, and the garrison Baihu and others were unwilling to retreat.
"Damn, what are these guys, how do they have so many bows and arrows"
The garrison was covered in blood, slapped hard, and his face was full of anger.
It's a shame, two hundred people attacked an ordinary village, but they couldn't take it, and there was a little doll on the other side, if people knew about it, they would have to laugh at him to death.
"Hundred households, the casualties are counted, we have a total of 12 brothers killed in the battle, 7 seriously injured, and 29 lightly injured"
Hearing this data, Baihu was silent for a while, just a small Liu Yunzhai made him lose so many people.
"Go, fight again"
With that, the ranks of the garrison moved again.
On the mountain, Li Xiuyuan and the others had just counted the casualties, seven dead and twelve wounded, which was much better than the situation on the side of the officers and soldiers, but for this group of refugees who did not die when they fled the famine, this was undoubtedly a huge stimulus.
"Everyone should be vigilant to prevent the officers and soldiers from counterattacking," Li Xiuyuan reminded.
Soon, the evacuated officers and soldiers attacked again.
Li Xiuyuan and the others didn't have time to grieve for the dead, so they had to fight again.
The battle of Liu Yunzhai lasted for three days, and the reason why it lasted so long was because the butcher Zhu, who had been left at the bottom of the mountain by the officers and soldiers, finally climbed up the mountain, and recognized Liu Yunzhai as the refugees who had been separated from them at the beginning, and Li Xiuyuan was one of the two children who could take out food.
The task of the officers and soldiers this time was to catch back the two children who could get food, Li Xiuyuan was in front of them, of course they would not let go, and sent two people back to Tushan to report the news, and the rest of the people were here to fight Li Xiuyuan and them.
In the past few days, Liu Yunzhai has been bleeding like a river, and three days later, there is no one among the officers and soldiers who can stand up, and even their hundreds of households have been beheaded by Wu Ziying.
As the sun set, Liu Yunzhai's people cleaned the battlefield silently, Li San'er took Liang You and Xu Cai to hurry back from the bottom of the mountain, Liang You and Xu Cai each held a cloth bag in their hands, and under the cloth bag, blood was still dripping.
"The owner of the village, the officers and soldiers who reported the news have been ambushed"
"The owner of the village is like a god, so that we can intercept and kill the officers and soldiers who reported the news at the foot of the mountain"
It turned out that as early as when he caught the scout, Li Xiuyuan secretly summoned Li San'er and the three of them, and asked them to make a detour to the rear of the officers and soldiers, and guard the exit position of the descent to prevent the officers and soldiers from going to Tushan to report the news.
Now that the officers and soldiers on the mountain have been solved, and the officers and soldiers who reported the news have also been resolved, they have finally been given some respite.
It's just that Li Xiuyuan couldn't be happy at all.
There was not a single one of the two hundred officers and soldiers left, all of them were left behind and buried in the tombs in the back mountain, but correspondingly, the people of Liu Yunzhai also died nearly 200 people, and between the officers and soldiers, it was almost one for one.
Now the village is gloomy, and there are suppressed cries everywhere.
There was not much strong labor, but after this catastrophe, only two or three kittens died.
"Has Butcher Zhu been recruited?" Li Xiuyuan's face was ugly, he had only been the owner of the village for more than ten days, and so many people had died, and it was inevitable that there would be opposition in the village, but now everyone was still busy and sad, and they didn't care about the trouble with him.
"Recruited"
The plug stiffened his face, and his eyes were a little red.
Many of those who died this time were members of his escort, and many of them were only thirteen or fourteen years old.
"He said that these officers and soldiers are the garrison of Tushan, and on Tushan, there is a mine, and many refugees have been arrested by the government to dig there, and the officials guarding the mine have killed people and eaten meat a few days ago, and forced the refugees to eat human flesh, which led to a riot among the refugees, and there was not much left of the officials' deaths."
"The garrison suppressed the riots, but the garrison did not have much food in their hands"
"He didn't want to eat human flesh, so he told General Lin of the garrison about the food you and Miss got on the way, and these two hundred people were sent by General Lin to find you and Miss."
The bolt suppressed his anger, and he couldn't wait to smoke a few big ear scrapers from Zhu Butcher.
Miss and the owner of the village kindly exchanged food to save their lives, but I didn't expect them to repay Miss like this.
After hearing this, Li Xiuyuan couldn't help but let out a sneer.
That's human nature.
"First of all, appease the families of the brothers who died this time, Miss Wu is already planning the relevant system of pension silver, go to Uncle Dahai to pay the silver, send it to each household, and tell them that such a war will only be more, not less, from tomorrow, everyone's training will be doubled"
"Training is mandatory for everyone, except pregnant women, children under the age of five, and the elderly"
"In addition, you arrange for someone to go down the mountain, recruit refugees who have fled under the mountain, and integrate them into the Liu Yunzhai Escort Team, and if you join the escort team, you will take care of the food, and recruit more people, the more the better."
"Yes"
The bolt followed Li Xiuyuan down the mountain, knowing what the current situation was under the mountain, there were refugees starving to death everywhere, as long as they were given a little food, they could recruit people up the mountain.
"Sister Ziying, thank you for your hard work"
Li Xiuyuan found Wu Ziying, who was formulating a pension system, if it wasn't for her, he really didn't know what to do?
Wu Ziying waved her hand, this was the largest casualty in Liu Yunzhai except for the time she went down the mountain.
There are only a few hundred people in the entire village, so there are two hundred, plus the original group of people from the Liu clan, and now there are not even five hundred people in the entire Liu Yunzhai.
"Sister Ziying, I want to build a martyr's shrine to worship the soldiers who died in the battle for the village"
Wu Ziying's hand paused, looked up at him, saw the firmness in his gaze, and stopped at the mouth of his throat.
"The first batch of adobe bricks has been kilned, and there are 5,000 horses"
"Thank you, Sister Ziying"
Li Xiuyuan looked at her gratefully, and then walked towards the brick mill.
After nearly a month of getting along, the people of the Liu clan have also integrated in, and obtained the household registration of Liu Yunzhai's good people.
Anyone who is smarter knows what Li Xiuyuan wants to do, one-third of the people who died this time were people from the original Liu clan, and there were originally more than a hundred people from the Liu clan, but only more than fifty people died.
