Section 31 Lingao's Counterattack (1)

 Chapter 31 Lingao’s counterattack (1)

The so-called difference between the three people obviously means that there is a difference between him and the two foreigners at ATF - in the future, their treatment and development will be different based on this difference. As for whether it is good or bad, it is difficult to say Already.

On the bright side, he is Chinese, and the other two are Americans. Considering that he is not a member of our race, he is obviously a "object that can be united with." However, some Chinese people always like to treat foreigners preferentially. From an adult's point of view, there is no guarantee that these two foreign friends with no roots will be more valued by this group of leaders, and he will become a hateful person who tries to sabotage their plans - if this is the case, the best outcome for him will be It's "controlled use".

This troubled him a lot. He knew that leaders often have different ideas, and this weird thinking mode is accompanied by the position rather than the individual - when a person becomes a leader, the way and logic of thinking about things will change. He would be different, and it would be difficult for others to figure out his true intentions. In his opinion, the leader of this time and space adventure group would be no exception.

Since he was assigned to the basic labor force group, he has been working in obscurity. He naturally understands the principle that ordinary Chinese people deeply understand, "Be a man with your tail between your legs", but he is also waiting for opportunities all the time. An opportunity for the Executive Committee to recognize him as a revolutionary comrade.

He didn't expect this opportunity to come so soon.

When the travelers were carried away and enthusiastically devoted themselves to the construction of this new city, no one realized that this huge construction site was not fully fortified. After landing, the locals fled and won several small-scale conflicts. The travelers were so proud that the ships full of munitions brought by the North American Branch also made their sense of security extremely high - they thought that trenches, deer firewood, barbed wire, SKS and searchlights could constitute the strongest fortress.

The spies in the county are snooping from a distance every day, and are careful not to get too close. Those companions who were captured by pirates riding roaring monsters have given them enough lessons. The bravest people use trees and trees during the day. Slowly approaching the grass, you can see what the pirates are busy doing. The city basically knows every move of the pirates, but it is just helpless. There are not many people who can discuss it, but speaking of it It was all just talk on paper, and the gentry were not active, so what could they use to fight? He knew the thoughts of this group of rich old men: at worst, they would hide in the villages outside the city at the critical moment: if they were small, they would avoid the city, if they were big, they would avoid the countryside. This is an old saying that has been tried and true for thousands of years. As a county magistrate, he has no reason to escape if the city is destroyed. He will inevitably die in the city - which the boss is not willing to do - if he is not very eager to serve. I wouldn't go to such a big trouble to choose such a remote place to be the county magistrate.

The city is not at peace either. There are more than 2,000 villagers who have taken refuge in the county town. There are not that many houses to live in in the city. Farmers from the four townships have either hid in the city. Those who have not entered the city dare not transport grain, rice and vegetables. When I entered the city, I was afraid that I would be robbed by pirates on the way. All kinds of food were in short supply. The people who took refuge had to live on the charity of the porridge shack. Due to malnutrition and sleeping in the open air, some old people and children died because of their weakness. Every day there were people wailing on the streets, which made Magistrate Wu uneasy. He was deeply afraid that if something happened, the people would revolt. For this reason, he personally led people to patrol the streets every day to appease the people.

Just in case, he had sent his trusted family members to take Ding Zhuang to secretly send his family and valuable savings to the capital city, with the intention that if anything went wrong, he would immediately send them back across the sea to their hometown. In this way, he became a complete

"Being an official naked".

The city had been in fear for more than ten days, but there was still no sign of the pirates attacking. The spies came back to report that the thieves built the road to Bairentou Beach and then stopped. They are currently building a lot of construction there. It seems that there is no attack.

It means city. Wu Mingjin couldn't figure out what was so special about Bairentou Beach that they should dig around - he hadn't heard of any ancient tombs or legends about buried treasures here.

"This is really troublesome." Wu Mingjin patted his head. In the past ten days, his hair seemed to have turned a lot whiter.

"Sir, I would like to see you, Inspector Fu." The chief came in to report.

"Invite him in." Wu Mingjin said angrily. Although he knew that Fu Bowen's twelve men could not resist the landing of the Kun thieves, he still had a grudge against this man for running away and not fighting hard. At the moment, he could only

After all, he was the only military attaché in the county and needed someone to rely on. Fu Bowen probably knew that he was responsible for his crimes, so he worked very hard whether preparing for war in the city or going out to investigate.

"My lord, the thieves have built a city on Bairentou Beach!"

Wu Mingjin's hand shook and the tea was spilled. He hurriedly asked: "How do you know?"

"Yesterday I went to investigate in person and found that the thieves had already built many houses on Bairen Beach!"

Wu Mingjin's teacup almost fell to the ground - what he was most worried about was this. What would he do if the pirates couldn't take over? In the past, he always held out hope that the pirates would leave naturally after staying for a while.

Now, instead of leaving, they are still building roads, and now they are building a stockade less than ten miles away from the county seat.

Once the stockade is built, the pirates will stay there for a long time. Needless to say, it is already September, and it will be the day of the autumn grain harvest. Both sides of the Wenlan River are the grain and rice producing areas of the county, and the pirates are right in front of them.

, how dare ordinary people go to the fields to collect grain!

Unable to collect autumn grain...Wu Daling knew that this was much more serious than the pirates in the territory, not to mention that Wusha was definitely out of business.

"Invite Mr. Liu quickly." Wu Mingjin turned around and ordered, "Invite all the gentry in the city! And Mr. Huang from Huangjiazhai."

The officials and gentry in the city heard the news from the spies at the meeting, and many of them had read military books. When they saw the group of thieves lined up along the road, they thought that the pirates didn't know how to fight, and they were so arrogant that they couldn't care about each other.

There is a long snake formation. There is no stockade built along the moat and forest edge of Bopu. There are only two or three bandits carrying muskets on their backs. They are all workers in short clothes and short hair.

As a result, the officials and gentry became much more courageous. Because Fu Bowen lost his defense line as a shop inspector, he was the most active in advocating against the pirates in order to redeem his merits. Magistrate Wu specifically pointed out that the autumn rush was approaching, and along the river,

Farmers in each village dared not go to the fields. If they were delayed, the harvest for the year would be gone. Not only would they be sorry for the court, but the people below would also not be able to make a living, let alone pay rent... What are the thoughts of the gentry?

As they gradually became more alive, it was about their own vital interests, so they had to take the initiative. Some people immediately expressed their willingness to pay for the war and drive away the pirates.

On the eleventh day of the ninth lunar month, all the village and village groups with local bravery were ordered to go to the city to discuss matters. Wu Daling's words were extremely harsh this time. In addition, several wealthy gentry in the county had made it clear that they were willing to fight to the death, so Xiaozhaizi had no choice but to agree to participate.

, or three or five people, or those with swords, guns and gunpowder. By the 13th day, nearly 300 Xiangyong people had arrived in the county. Magistrate Wu felt that it was not enough, so he sent people to Lipandu, Xinhua Township in the south of the county.

Thirty Li soldiers were sent to Li Dong. These soldiers were crossbowmen and equipped with poisonous arrows refined with poison.

Liu Jinshi suggested a night attack, which Magistrate Wu also agreed with. However, Inspector Fu and Huang Shoutong both opposed it. They had some actual combat experience and knew that fighting at night would make it difficult for even the best-trained officers and soldiers to control the advance and retreat of their troops, let alone their temporary control.

It was a ragtag group of people. Since it was a ragtag group, the only way was to rely on the strength of numbers, attack the pirates a little bit, use the crowd to bully the few, eat a group of people, and destroy some of the pirates' vehicles and equipment.

Fu Baiwen ordered everyone to prepare more tinder and gunpowder to set fire to when preparing for a battle. He originally planned to bring the French cannon from the guard station with him, but Sun Baihu refused, claiming that the cannon and soldiers were all here to defend the city.

Going out to fight in the city is a matter of the county and he has no control over it. Magistrate Wu went to talk to him in person and got the answer. He was very disappointed. The messenger who went to Tang Yunwen's office in Baisha also came back. Tang Yunwen said that he would participate in the battle to encircle and suppress Liu Laoxiang recently.

, there is no time to expel this "small group of pirates".

However, Tang Yunwen's answer was also within his expectation. If the thieves did not breach Lingao City, the army would not come to suppress the bandits. The only thing he could do now was to cheer up and fight hard.

While the county gathered everything from the arsenal to equip these poorly clothed country warriors, they also asked the blacksmiths in the city to make many new iron spearheads, and collected all kinds of scrap copper and iron to make cannon balls.

They needed manpower to build the chariot...for a while the city was in a state of uproar and commotion.

All these movements in the city were reported to the Executive Committee by the observation posts under the city. No one can judge whether Lingao County is further strengthening its defenses or preparing for a counterattack. In the end, the alert was strengthened.

The order was issued, but the military team actually had no more power.

Even including the armed militia mobilized after the landing, the military team totaled only more than 70 people, excluding the three people sent to the surveillance points outside the county and the two people who escorted the long-range reconnaissance and exploration team. The remaining people were responsible for returning from the blog.

The military team has canceled the three-shift duty method and adopted two shifts to maintain a certain security scale.

Whether such a defense line full of loopholes is effective in front of the Ming Dynasty's rural warriors, only actual combat can answer this question. This is not a game, it has no load available, every person dies, every piece of equipment is lost, it means that it is impossible to

Recovered losses.

All the news from the observation station indicated that Lingao County of the Ming Dynasty was about to launch a full-scale attack on them. This was beyond the expectations of the Executive Committee. It was originally thought that the county would not attack before receiving reinforcements from the Ming army.

, but on the 13th day of the ninth lunar month, the observation post discovered that someone was dismantling the Tiger Cannon on the city tower. This move further proved the military team’s speculation. He Ming warned the Executive Committee that their current security situation was not optimistic, and the Executive Committee

It will be decided at an emergency meeting to fully mobilize, except for a few projects to continue, all others will be suspended, SKS rifles will be distributed to all men, revolvers will be distributed to all women, and several live-fire training sessions will be conducted as soon as possible by the military group.

He Ming knew that most people had received limited training. Due to limited conditions during the preparation stage for the crossing, the so-called military training mainly consisted of walking in formation and practicing physical fitness. He had only done live-fire shooting a few times. A rookie who was not familiar with shooting could use SKS and

There is no difference between burning fire sticks. There is no need to expect them to actively and effectively fight.

After discussion at the meeting, the military group decided to continue using the mobile defense plan. Once attacked, the mobilized soldiers would retreat to important strongholds, while the soldiers of the military group used agricultural vehicles and jeeps to maneuver. Where would the enemy gather the largest number?

As for the attacking force, the agricultural vehicle mobile force attacked it unexpectedly from the side and rear. He Ming believed that his own powerful communication and mobility capabilities would effectively make up for the lack of force.
