Guan Xiaorou opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.
She can also think of ways to make suggestions regarding matters at the Chamber of Commerce.
But she knows nothing about fighting, so how can she know what to do?
If Xie Xiguang and Cai Liuyang are looking for trouble, the most they can do is to shut down the escort bureau, chamber of commerce, and factory first, and wait until Jin Feng comes back to reopen them.
But the bandits' attack on Shuang Hump is too serious, and people will die if it is not handled properly.
And instead of just one or two people dying, a fight could result in over a hundred people dying, or even more.
How dare Guan Xiaorou make a decision easily?
He had no choice but to look at Tang Dongdong for help.
Guan Xiaorou didn't understand marching and fighting, and neither did Tang Dongdong.
The two of them looked at Zheng Fang again.
"Brother Zheng, I don't know anything about war. The master will leave the escort agency to you when he leaves. You can make up your mind."
Guan Xiaorou said sincerely.
Tie Niu and Tie Hammer also looked at Zheng Fang.
"Yes!" Zheng Fang was not polite, and cupped his hands towards Guan Xiaorou: "Then I'd rather obey your orders."
War is a matter of life and death. Just now he was very worried about what would happen if Guan Xiaorou took the hammer.
Now that Guan Xiaorou has handed over the command to him, Zheng Fang naturally does not dare to be polite.
If Guan Xiaorou really gives random orders, the bodyguard will be the one who dies.
"If bandits dare to come and cause trouble, they must have something to rely on, and there may be more than just what we see, so I think Tieniu's method is better."
Zheng Fang said: "Now we don't have enough manpower, so we have to be ruthless. Beat them to make them afraid and timid. Only in this way can we scare Xiao Xiao!"
"We now have new recruits, and there are only a few hundred female soldiers. We have all been led by Tieniu. What if someone comes to attack the village?"
Hammer retorted.
This is also the main reason for the ongoing debate.
Escorts are not magic generals. If there is no terrain advantage and no armor protection, and they are fighting with bandits face to face with bayonets, the number of escorts cannot be too small, otherwise they will just be delivering food.
There were hundreds of bandits besieging Double Hump. To achieve the kind of deterrent effect Tieniu mentioned, at least hundreds of escorts would have to be dispatched.
The total number of escorts in the entire Xihewan is only a few hundred.
What if everyone goes to Twin Hump and someone attacks the base camp?
Zheng Fang glanced at Tie Hammer, shook his head and said, "Actually, we don't need that many people. One hundred and fifty people are enough."
"Old Zheng, are you kidding?" Tie Chui glared: "There are hundreds of bandits. One hundred and fifty of them are going to die?"
Guan Xiaorou, Tang Dongdong and Xiaoyu also looked at Zheng Fang in confusion.
Even Tieniu, who made this suggestion, couldn't figure out what kind of medicine Zheng Fang was selling in his gourd. He frowned and said, "Old Zheng, one hundred and fifty people are really not enough..."
"If I give you fifty sets of black armor, two repeating crossbows and three boxes of grenades, will that be enough?" Zheng Fang asked rhetorically.
"If this happens, I promise to kill these bandits!"
Tieniu showed a look of ecstasy and nodded quickly.
As the injured veterans returned, details of the Battle of Xichuan spread throughout Xihewan.
Zhang Liang led the black-armored team to break out of the siege, and Jin Li used repeating crossbows and grenades to reverse the situation. These are two stories that veterans like to tell the most.
Tieniu has long been coveted for black armor and grenades.
"There are still black armor and grenades in the village?" Tang Dongdong, Xiaoyu and Tiechui were all surprised.
"There are some more!" Zheng Fang nodded.
"Xiaorou, do you know?" Tang Dongdong noticed that Guan Xiaorou's face was calm and asked tentatively.
"The master left some grenades behind when he left, but he said the grenades were too dangerous and should not be used except as a last resort, and he would not let me tell anyone."
Guan Xiaorou nodded: "The head of the family asked Mancang to lead people to make the black armor. It was originally intended to be sent to Xichuan to support the front line, but after the battle was won, it was not sent there."
"How many black armors and grenades are there?" Tang Dongdong asked.
"The head of the house said that this is the bottom of the box in our village. No one can tell how much it is."
Guan Xiaorou, who had always talked to Tang Dongdong, shook her head at this time.
Tang Dongdong knew Jin Feng's position in Guan Xiaorou's heart, so he was not angry, but felt much more at ease.
Fortunately, Jin Feng had a backup plan, otherwise it would have been really dangerous this time.
Guan Xiaorou then opened the warehouse in the back mountain and did not let outsiders in. Instead, she went in herself and used a small cart to pull out the grenades and armor.
Double Hump is not close to Xihewan. Although the armor is not very heavy, even the bodyguard cannot bear it if he is traveling at full speed while wearing it.
Moreover, the bandits do not yet know that there is black armor in Xihewan. Tieniu wanted to sap him, so he did not let anyone put it on immediately, but asked a carriage to pull him on the way.
Master Chen was behind the bandits' attack on Shuang Hump.
The bandits around Guangyuan did indeed hate the Zhenyuan Escort Agency as Master Chen said.
It's just that the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau's combat effectiveness is too strong. None of them dare to jump out and provoke. They can only always pay attention to the troubles in Jinchuan.
Once they find out that Zhang Liang has started to suppress the bandits again, they will immediately flee with the food from their lair.
It's not easy to live such a life of fear.
Master Chen is already eloquent and good at strategy. Isn't it easy to seduce a group of bandits who already have a grudge against the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau?
What's more, Master Chen was not just a ploy. For this operation, the powerful people also spent a lot of money, and each family spent a lot of money.
With the resentment of the bandits, the money of the powerful, and his sharp tongue, Master Chen quickly gathered a large number of bandits and launched an attack quickly.
Master Chen is very impeccable in his work. Before attacking Shuang Hump, he knew that Xihewan would send reinforcements.
Not long after Tieniu left the village with his bodyguard, Master Chen received the news.
Knowing that Tieniu only brought more than a hundred people, Master Chen immediately realized that there must be a fraud.
But for some unknown reason, Master Chen did not alert the bandits besieging Shuangtuofeng. He only informed them that Xihewan had sent reinforcements.
When the bandits heard that there were only about a hundred reinforcements, they didn't take it seriously at all. Several big bosses even gathered together to discuss countermeasures and planned to ambush them halfway.
It's a pity that the mob is always a mob. None of the big bosses wants to suffer. They just want to wait for others to finish the fight and then follow behind to reap the benefits.
A few people broke up in unhappiness. As for the ambush, let alone mentioning it, they had long been forgotten by the big bosses.
Tieniu just led one hundred and fifty bodyguards to the outskirts of Iron Can Mountain openly.
Until we were less than two miles away from the Twin Humps, we didn't encounter a sentry.
"This kind of mob dares to come to Jinchuan and slap our double humps. Are they impatient?"
A company commander under Tieniu said disdainfully: "Captain Tie, please stop working so hard. I can defeat them with just one company!"
"The teacher said that a lion fights a rabbit with all his strength, and you should never underestimate any enemy. Rabbits will bite when they are anxious, let alone desperadoes like bandits, so it is better to be careful."
Tieniu looked around: "And our journey here has been so smooth, I feel a little uneasy."
