Chapter 116 Guandaokou Bingbao

What surprised Liu Yaoben was the 100 dead soldiers sent. Unexpectedly, more than half of them finally returned to the military fort of Guandaokou, which surprised all the soldiers who gathered at Guandaokou, and welcomed these returning warriors into the camp like stars holding the moon.

Although it can be said that almost everyone who came back this time was injured, at least they insisted on returning to the camp and attacked the army camp with more than 10,000 people. Originally, everyone thought that all these brothers who went would die. Who knew that these brothers not only did not have the whole army destroyed in the army camp, On the contrary, more than half of the people came back.

In this way, there is no need to say about the encouragement of the Xing Tianjun, and the haze in the hearts of the army was suddenly swept away.

How much damage this stolen camp has brought to the officers and soldiers. For a while, Liu Yao couldn't find out, but one thing is certain is that after the success of the attack on the camp that night, even the official road mouth nearly ten miles away heard a huge roar in the direction of the officers and army battalion. It must have been that these people blew up many officers and soldiers. I'm afraid it's impossible for the officers and soldiers to want to die because of the gunpowder. The scouts and Xizuo saw a lot of corpses from the camp and buried them outside the camp from afar the next day. It can be seen that the losses of the officers and soldiers must not be small this time.

Seeing that so many brothers can step back and forth in the tens of thousands of troops, and can return here safely, many generals who were a little worried were immediately relieved. They abandoned the last trace of fear of the officers and soldiers in their hearts. One by one, they began to prepare to repair them fiercely and dare to come to them. I'm so annoyed with the officers and soldiers.

The biggest gain from the success of this stolen camp is not how many officers and soldiers have been killed and how many officers and soldiers' materials have been burned, but that this operation has won two days of precious time for Liu Yaoben, which made them take the opportunity to strengthen many completed fortifications, improve the defense ability of the fortifications, and also delay two days. In the meantime, I have won a precious two days for the arrival of future reinforcements.

The reason why the name of an official entrance is taken here is that this is the intersection of two official roads. It is a fork from Shaanxi to Lu's and Yongning County. The terrain is very important, and it is also the north gate of Lu's County. Anyone who wants to attack Lu's County from Tongguan Shanzhou must go here. In addition to this There is no other way to choose.

At the beginning, Xiao Tianjian led his troops to attack Lushi County. If it hadn't been for the incompetence of the defenders and officials of Lushi County, as long as he sent not too many troops to intercept the Xingtian Army here, he could have won a lot of preparation time for Lushi County. However, those officials of Lushi County would rather choose to abandon the city and escape, and in the end they did not grasp this. What kind of opportunity.

But if it is put in the hands of Xing Tianjun, such a situation will not happen again. When Xiao Tianjian sent Liu Yaoben back to Lu's seat here, he said very clearly that he wanted Liu Yaoben to sit at the entrance of the official road in person to withstand the attack of the officers and soldiers to ensure that Lu's County was not lost.

For this reason, as soon as Liu Yaoben returned to Lushi County, he immediately led his troops to Guandaokou Village and mobilized the township barracks of Lushi County. At the same time, he recruited many exiles gathered in Lushi County to work here day and night, built an earthen castle, and was stuck in Guandaokou.

This earth castle built by surprise is not big, and the pass wall is only more than one foot high. The main body is built of rammed earth, and the interior is strengthened with logging logs, which is not too strong, but it is basically enough.

What is slightly strange is that the ground inside the earth castle is much higher than the outside, which is also because Guandaokou Village often floods the village due to a lot of rainfall in summer. Later, the villagers living here simply constantly raised their villages year after year, and then gradually became smaller. The foundation of the village is much too high to avoid the threat of flooding the village because of the flood here.

As soon as Xiao Tianjian occupied Lushi County a few years ago, he valued the geographical location of Guandaokou Village and persuaded the remaining villagers in this village to move them to Lushi County. A few years ago, a company of troops were arranged to be stationed in Guandaokou Village.

In addition to moving away the people, Guandaokou Village also initially built a smoke pier. Once it is found that an officer and army is coming, it will ignite the wolf smoke to warn in the direction of Lushi County. After several months of operation of this company stationed here, in fact, Guandaokou Village has initially had the scale of a simple fortress.

After Liu Yao was ordered to come back to guard the Lu family, he sat here in person and commanded thousands of people to work all night. Relying on the characteristics of the original high terrain of the village, he circled a low wall around the village. It was more than ten feet high from the outside, but standing on the ground inside, you could see the situation outside. In this way, it is equivalent to expanding the whole Guandaokou Village into a military fort.

The internal area of the Bingbao is the area of the original village. After Liu Yao's arrival, all the original villagers lived in the earthen houses were demolished and a barracks were built on the spot. Before the arrival of the officers and soldiers, enough to support 2,000 people to eat for half a month was transported from Lushi County. In addition, Lushi County will be occupied. Some of the captured cannons were also removed from Lushi County and transported to the official Taokou Bingbao and set up on the Bingbao.

This Bingbao also has a surprising feature. Four small castles extend out from the four corners, which can easily block the four sides of the Bingbao. This move Liu Yao originally learned from the wall of Shuangfengzhai in Yangcheng. The four prominent small castles just play a role similar to the ridge. Although it is simple, once encountered When the enemy attacks, this small castle at the four corners can play a very important role.

In addition to these, Liu Yaoben also raced against time to command Min Zhuang to dig a trench with a depth of more than one person and a width of more than two feet along the fort, and planted a lot of sharpened wooden stakes in the ditch. If anyone accidentally falls into it, he will definitely not be able to please it.

Although the time is in a hurry, after this repair, the official Taokou Bingbao still has considerable defensive ability. If they are given enough time to operate, it is guaranteed that in two years, a pass may be formed here.

After learning that the officers and soldiers had set out to force the entrance of the official road, Liu Yaoben ordered the villagers who were busy outside the fort to evacuate from here and evacuate to Lushi County. The soldiers who were originally outside the fort also retreated to the inside. With his order, the two fort doors of the fort were closed with a bang. The suspension bridge was also quickly pulled up, thus cutting off the contact between the military fort and the outside world.

A team of soldiers who taught the first battalion also quickly gathered in the fort. After leading the task, they ran to the fort wall one after another and began to be busy nervously. Bundles of guns were carried to the foot of the fort wall, and a box of packed ammunition was also placed behind the artillery. More Dozens of large iron pots were also supported by the generals in the fort, lit a fire and poured water into the pot and burned it.

In a word, in order to guard the imperial official's entrance this time, Liu Yaoben almost mobilized all the resources that could be used, made all the preparations he could, and waited for the officers and soldiers to attack.
