Chapter 48 The Supplies Legion

Before dawn, the aroma of food has already wafted far away.

Under the command and guidance of two garrison battalions and three supply battalions, groups of refugees formed long lines outside the ruined villages of Dongjiazhuang and Mijiazhuang.

At the end of the line, each refugee will be quickly assigned four cooking cakes, a bowl of porridge, half a salted fish, a sickle, and five people a water bag.

The porridge needs to be eaten on the spot, and the cooking cakes and salted fish can be taken away. There is basically no stagnation, and they just follow the crowd and go straight to the farmland to start harvesting all day.

Judging from this orderly scene, the command and resettlement capabilities of the garrison camp and the supply camp have improved compared to yesterday, but the total number of refugees rushing to harvest rice and wheat has decreased, leaving only about 8000 people.

After deducting the more than 5000 old, weak and disabled people who had been sent to Zhulu Pass, the rest were all selected by Li Si last night.

For example, the fisherman profession.

Only 530 people were selected. After all, this place is close to a big river, relying on mountains to eat mountains, and relying on water to eat water. There are only more than 500 professional fishermen in this area, which is already a small number.

These fishermen are not good at harvesting rice and wheat, so it is better to send them out to fish, even if they bring back five thousand catties of fish every day, it is not bad.

Another example is the hunter profession.

Whether it is Luming Mountain, Ax Mountain, or Yanhui Mountain, there are forests with high coverage, and there are quite a lot of wild animals. Of course, the point is not this, but the hunter is also a master gatherer. Autumn is also the golden season for mountain product collection, which cannot be missed.

For this reason, Li Si allocated more than 500 hunters in one breath, and he was not afraid that they would run away. His family members were all chasing the deer pass.
What's more, there are actually no full-time hunters here, they are all farmers.

In addition to these two occupations, Li Si also selected more than 1000 craftsmen and quasi-craftsmen, as well as hundreds of young and strong people with driving experience. , led by Guo Laosan, a fourth-level stonemason, and Qin Xiaodao, a fifth-level bricklayer, they will set off with the army today to Wangzhuang Town and Lujia Town to receive all the resources there with their professional vision and professional quality.

Yes, Li Si has been jealous of Lujia Town for a long time.

As the richest and most prosperous of the four towns in the north of the mountain, Lujia Town is like a county town. It can be said that it is the place where the Lu family in Lucheng started.

This was also discussed by Li Si and everyone last night. Since he is going to confront Lucheng Lu, he is not afraid of offending him to death.

If Lujia Town is not robbed, how will it develop in the future?

As for whether he can beat him, Li Si is not worried at all.

The main army of the Lu family in Lucheng is in Jincheng, and they are fighting fiercely with the black tooth army, and they can't draw their hands.

Of course, Li Si's men didn't have any suggestion why not go directly to Lucheng?

He also thought about it, but the depth of a century-old powerful family is no joke.

The four towns in Shanbei are very rich, right? But in the Lucheng area, there are more than 30 such towns. Think about it.

Therefore, Li Si's strategy is to punch and eat all he can, and then rely on the Luming Mountain, defend with the turtle shell, practice the Golden Bell Shield outside, and take a breath inside, and try his best to farm for development.

This will be more secure.

When the sky was dim, the whole army had already had breakfast and carried two meals of dry food, water bags, all the mules and pack horses that drove the carts had been fed, the war horses had eaten the concentrate, the knives, guns, armor, and arrows were all Ready.

"His Royal Highness, the first scout battalion has set up three hidden scout posts on the top of Yanhui Mountain, a beacon tower, and a clear post. Another [-] scouts have traveled fifty miles north to ensure that there is no enemy within a hundred miles." Any military movement can be discovered and warned at the first time!"

"The Second Scout Battalion has gone fifty miles to the west. Currently, it has set up hidden scout posts outside Luming Beishan, Xishan Town, Wangzhuang Town, and Lujia Town, which can completely lock the movements of the Lu family's transport army."

"Very well, Wang Chu, Chu Bai, Jiang Xu, Song Ming, the four of you lead your respective battalions to garrison at the foot of Yanhui Mountain, and ensure that our people retreat in an emergency if any enemy troops appear."

"Li Xin listens to the order!"

"Subordinates are here."

"Immediately lead the entire heavy cavalry battalion, set off through the path, and arrive at the woods north of Luming Dongshan before sunrise to stand by! Always pay attention to the messages from the second scout battalion, and when the main force of our army encounters the enemy, choose the opportunity to join the battlefield. "

"Zhao Xiaoer, Tian Wen, Dong Ergou, Xu Chang, Zhang Miao, and Sun Cheng listened to the order and assembled immediately. They set off along the official road and repaired at the ruins of Huangzhuangji."

"The Lonely King will lead the rest of the troops, and then set off."

"Chen Qing from the supply camp, and Xing Bin from the garrison camp, organized a convoy and led a group of craftsmen to stand by at any time."

According to the strategy formulated last night, Li Si quickly issued an order. In fact, this military operation is quite simple, not only because the enemy did not expect it at all, but also because of the favorable terrain.

Li Si's army is currently gathering in Dongjiazhuang.

Although this place is backed by Futou Mountain, it is actually less than 15 miles away from Huangzhuangji.

Huangzhuangji is less than 30 miles away from Wangzhuang Town where the enemy is stationed.

Walking 20 miles southwest along Huangzhuangji is Xishan Town, which is backed by Luming North Mountain.

To the northwest of Xishan Town is Wangzhuang Town, which is separated by a steep mountain bay. The straight-line distance is less than 15 miles, but it takes more than 30 miles to go around.

Li Si has been familiar with this terrain for a long time. He didn't engage in any ambush this time. He just led the main army to set up an ambush along the official road, and then sent the heavy cavalry battalion to arrive at Xishan Town first, and then went around to harass the enemy. Take advantage of the chaos to annihilate.

Well, no matter how complicated the tactics are, Li Si, or even all of them, can't handle it.

How can it be?

The battalions set off quickly, and more than an hour later, Li Si led his troops to the ruins of Huangzhuangji. The place was full of dilapidated scenes, but in the past two days, hundreds of people from Huangzhuangji ran back, and even Li Si held them. Some of the refugees who were originally Huangzhuangji people also wanted to go back, but in the end they were all stopped by the sharp-eyed and black-hearted garrison camp. They really underestimated the security capabilities of the chief arrester.

And last night, after formulating the basic tactics, a garrison camp arrived at Huangzhuangji to take away all the people here to facilitate today's ambush.

The official road is just north of Huangzhuangji, and the ruins of houses have become the best shelters.

After Li Si arrived, he immediately led Feishiying to assemble trebuchets. This time he brought [-] small trebuchets, which were brought back when the convoy transported grain and grass to Zhulu Pass in the past two days.

After being busy for a while, looking for shooting circles and test shooting, after confirming that the entire official road can be covered and attacked, the trebuchet was camouflaged.

At this time, it was already high in the sky, and the transport corps had already left Wangzhuang Town, and they had traveled nearly twenty miles. It could be seen that they were in a hurry, and they basically set off before dawn.

In addition, they also sent three teams of scouts to explore the road for [-] miles along the official road, which is quite prudent.

If Li Si hadn't dispatched the second scout battalion in advance to set up many secret sentries in this area, and had already moved in place in advance, they might have been discovered by them.

However, these scouts obviously focused their investigation on the Yanhui Mountain area, because there is an official road more than ten miles long that passes through the northern foot of Yanhui Mountain.

On the contrary, Huangzhuangji has an open terrain, which is convenient for the army to gather and fight, and it is in the Lucheng Lu's control area, so there is no advantage in ambush.

At first Li Si thought he had a plan, until about ten o'clock in the morning, the transport army appeared, and then camped two miles away from Huangzhuangji!

"Fuck!"

Li Si was so annoyed that he knocked his head straight, he really was Xiaobai, he ignored the fact that the enemy army set out before dawn, it was impossible to rest until noon.

so awkward!
