The road of more than ten miles was actually not long. The news of another bandit outside the city reached the city, and then the order came out from the city. It only took an hour or two.
The situation in the city was fine, but Li Zicheng's troops outside the city were all nervous.
In the periphery of Yan'an Prefecture, in addition to the salt fields, there are also construction sites for repairing the city walls, widening the moats, and even building refugee camps. Li Zicheng's hundreds of households are responsible for ensuring the safety of these construction sites and maintaining the order of these construction sites.
location.
When thieves appear outside the city, they are naturally the first to bear the brunt. Li Zicheng's hundred households already have more than a thousand people. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a thousand households, and they have enough ability to solve this kind of thing.
After all, it is not always possible to gather thousands or tens of thousands of refugees to attack a city like Wang Er. Most of the time, such large groups of refugees are composed of small groups of more than a dozen, dozens, or hundreds of people.
, slowly gathered together, and finally grew bigger and bigger.
After Xiao Sanwa came back, Li Zicheng immediately formed a team of more than a hundred people, heading in the direction where the bandits appeared. Li Zicheng also began to gather the usually scattered troops, waiting to find out the true and false status of the opponent.
A large group of troops will set off immediately to annihilate this bandit or drive it away from the Yan'an Prefecture.
The current Yan'an Mansion cannot tolerate the troubles of thieves.
Because of Xiao Sanwa's report, the team of more than a hundred people sent out cautiously approached the town where the bandits appeared. Then at nightfall, the specific news reached Li Zicheng.
"Master Jiang's intention is very clear. These thieves cannot be allowed to approach Yan'an Mansion. You all can tell us how to fight this battle!"
Li Zicheng was wearing Baihu uniform and looked at the people in front of him. Li Guo and Li Ran were all his team members and his deputy Baihu.
"I'm from the west. I've never heard of large groups of bandits appearing in the west before. Moreover, even if there are disaster victims at such a close distance, they are almost all gone after Wang Er passed by last time!" Bu Zhan Mu Shen
He said in a loud voice: "Will they come from other states?"
"In today's world, it's not unusual for thieves to come from anywhere!" Li Guo nodded: "Now that the news has spread out that you can survive by coming to our Yan'an Mansion, these bandits naturally also know that our Yan'an Mansion is rich and wealthy.
Food, if I were a thief, I would also attack the Yan'an Prefecture!"
"Do you really want to go all out to fight?" Bu Zhanni's face was a little weird: "Old brother, we suffered a lot last time, and the newcomers we recruited didn't last long. It would be better if we fought with a smooth wind, but it would be bad if the bandits were powerful.
If you fight, they will collapse immediately!"
"How do you know it's not easy to fight even if you haven't even fought!" Li Zicheng said solemnly: "Even if he is really a tough guy, we can still ask Mr. Jiang for help and ask him for some musketeers. I don't believe that they will be more difficult than Hong Chengchou.
beat!"
Bu Zhanni shook his head and looked at Li Zicheng, Li Guo and the others: "The people in this room are all from my own family. I won't say those roundabout words. My Li Baihu, have you ever thought about it?"
However, we now have thousands of people in this hundred households, with strong soldiers and horses. It will not be strange for Li Baihu to become Li Qianhu by then, but if we are defeated, I won’t say what will happen next!"
"Are you worried about this?" Li Zicheng smiled coldly: "If I don't dare to fight because I am afraid of losing, then I really have no future in front of Mr. Jiang!"
"Yes, yes, you are amazing!" Bu Zhanni said, "But Nanhaiwei will return to Beijing sooner or later..."
He looked at Li Zicheng and then at Li Guo: "If these thousands of people are managed well, even if they don't return to Beijing with Nanhaiwei in the future, they will still be a powerful force in Shaanxi. This is our foundation.
, if the fight is gone, then you have to start over again!”
The room fell silent, and everyone looked at Li Zicheng. There is no doubt that without Li Zicheng, there would be no such team, let alone the inexplicable respect that the commander has for Li Zicheng.
"Got to fight!"
Li Zicheng punched the table hard: "Everyone will fall several times when walking in his life. If he stops walking because he is afraid of falling, he is a paralytic. In my life, Li Zicheng, I have never met Lord Guo Jiang who thinks so highly of me.
I will not embarrass my people, I will fight if they can win, and I will fight if they can’t!"
"Then let's fight, you are a hundred households, you have the final say!"
Bu Zhanni sighed. Anyway, he said everything that should be said, and he also said what shouldn't be said. Since Li Zicheng had made a choice, he could just follow it.
"There are about two to three hundred people in the town, and about one or two hundred people outside the town!" Li Zicheng nodded: "I don't know if there will be more people coming later, but what I see now is that basically these thieves are young and strong.
, there are few women, children, old and weak, and basically all have weapons!"
"This means that the opponent's camp is not here. This is just a vanguard sent by the opponent to attack my Yan'an mansion!" Li Zicheng said: "My idea is to take advantage of the bandits' unstable foothold and the lack of backup to attack tonight.
Come out and eat each other in one breath!"
Everyone nodded solemnly.
"If you don't stick to the mud, stay in the camp and make sure that no one in the salt field or the refugee camp will rebel because of this. Maybe there are enemy spies who have sneaked in long ago and we don't know yet!"
Bu Zhanni nodded solemnly: "Understood! Anyone who makes noise and causes trouble tonight will be killed without mercy!"
"Li Guo, Li Ran, please inform the others, organize the troops and horses, start cooking now, and set off with me in half an hour!"
Everyone turned around and prepared to go out and prepare for action.
"Do you want to inform the commander?" Bu Zhanni suddenly asked.
"No need!" Li Zicheng stopped walking out and shook his head slightly: "Wait until I come back from killing the thief!"
After a while, the soldiers and horses outside began to move. Among the soldiers and horses that were expanded with the original veterans as the skeleton, although many people became a little panicked because of the war-like atmosphere, but among the veterans
With their laughter, scolding or comfort, the tense atmosphere slowly dissipated a lot soon.
The entire army quickly blended into the night outside under the leadership of their respective officers. Looking over the top of the city, they could only see them moving towards the distance like a winding black dragon under the flickering of torches.
Wu Sangui on the top of the city looked at these people who were leaving with some envy. He began to seriously consider whether he should apply to the superiors to be transferred outside the city. Outside the city, at least there would be different things to do every day.
, you can even take your soldiers and horses out to the surrounding areas to find rogue thieves to practice with.
Staying in the city, in addition to continuous training, means that I can occasionally go to the city to take turns.
Unfortunately, no bandits came to attack the city. Regardless of the overall situation, Wu Sangui really hoped that there would be bandits to attack the city again. At least, he would definitely be more experienced in dealing with it this time than the last time.
"No, I must talk to the superiors tomorrow. Even if I don't talk to Commander Jiang, I can talk to Mr. Xu's family!" He secretly made up his mind. After all, he didn't come here just to have a happy birthday.
, that person should be able to understand my own thoughts!
