After the trade with Spain was over, thousands of tons of goods were transported on the road. Seeing the people in Huo Chong's team looked a little complicated, many children followed the convoy to watch. For them, the long dragon that they had never seen before was so novel, and the objects on the cars were even more interesting.

For the escort team, the seven Spanish people are more interesting. Not to mention the appearance, the Spanish beards of those people alone look surprising.

Huo Chong didn't understand Spanish, and the words he could speak were all seen from American dramas related to drug lords. Fortunately, the team leader understood some Chinese, so everyone started to communicate. These gunners were all gunners on the ship. He heard that he was not the gunners in the regular army at all. He was just a guy with experience in firing artillery, which disappointed Huo Chong very much.

When the brigade returned to the county town of Mouping County, news came that the troops who controlled the key points to the west and south had already set off. Huo Chong was a little confused. If possible, he really wanted the troops to participate in land reform.

It is really a pity that we can't effectively face the next battle without occupying some key points and establishing the minimum peripheral alert and defense system.

At this time, the westward troops were moving all the way according to the plan. Although Zichuan County was nominally the place of the Han regime, on the other hand, Zichuan County next to Jinan was also the front line. It was just that there was a mountainous area with Jinan, which was difficult to walk on.

From Zichuan County to the west is Laiwu. Laiwu is part of Yimeng Mountain, but it is a basin in the local area. It has always been a place that military strategists must fight for. The "Fight of Long Scoop" in junior high school textbooks is the battle described in the classic and satirical ancient text "The Meat Eater's Despise". It broke out here.

As for the "Laiwu Battle" in the Liberation War that had not yet broken out, it was also an extremely important battle in the early stage of Shandong.

At this time, a unit of about 400 people was approaching Laiwu. This number of people was insignificant compared to the current Qing army between 600,000 and 800,000, but the current field troops on the Han regime were 4,000, and one-tenth of the troops could never be regarded as indifferent to the Han regime.

The leader was Huo Chong's sixth junior brother Liu Shiwang. After crossing mountains and ridges for several days, Laiwu County had already appeared in sight. As the troops approached, the county town also noticed the existence of the Han troops. There was a panic outside the city, and the gates of the county town were slowly closed, and defenders had already appeared on the top of the city.

When they arrived at the city, the Han troops settled their attack positions, arranged artillery soldiers, and assembled ladders. In this gap, they sent people to call the city. Liu Shiwang touched the small notebook in his pocket, but did not take it out.

Fighting on Huo Chong's side is really interesting. It has nothing to do with the storytelling general order. There are a complete set of methods for how to march, how to set up camp, and how to arrange positions. The commanders all need to memorize their own methods.

Now Liu Shiwang no longer needs to take out the small notebooks and they are arranged naturally. But Liu Shiwang felt uneasy when he didn't touch the small notebooks in his hand.

I heard the people under the city shouting loudly with a trumpet, "Listen to the city. Our Han troops do not like to kill people. If you surrender, you will naturally leave your lives. You don't have to be afraid of the county magistrates in the city. If you want to be loyal to the Qing Tartars, you want to hang them, and we will give you ropes! If you want to drink medicine, we will give you bottles! If you don't want to die and dare not go back, we will put you in a prison and give you food. Don't make things difficult for you, the county magistrate..."

Liu Shiwang almost laughed out loud when he heard this. All the things described in these words happened. One by one, one by one, either experienced it or told by other participating troops at the post-war summary meeting.

It’s just that using such relaxed words to describe the truth is really a sense of inexplicable joy.

The Han troops attacking under the city felt that the shouting was particularly interesting, and the defenders on the top of the city felt completely different. Seeing the Han army wearing captured armor, setting up artillery, preparing ladders, clearly trying to fight. He also heard the shouting under the city shouting different responses to the city, leaving everyone missing an unexpected miss. This panic is hard to describe.

Finally, everyone's eyes fell on several people. These people were dressed in small soldiers and had little highlights. Under the gaze of everyone, they were forced to speak, "Master Huo... keep his word. If he says it, let's pull the people up to the top of the city to defend the city, and he wants to kill people. He really knows how to kill people."

After saying that, one of them couldn't help but shivered. The others were only captured once, and the brother was captured twice. During the first and second encirclement and suppression issued by the court, he first participated in the wave commanded by former Shandong Governor Li Shude. After he was released, he participated in the time in Jinan City. He was really experienced.

After hearing this, other people guarding the city were also afraid. At this time, the total number of people left in Laiwu County was not more than forty, and with the yamen runners and the magistrate, the total number was less than fifty.

In the peaceful era, these people were enough to scare the county town. However, it was not the peaceful era, and there were hundreds of people under the city.

The county magistrate was also at the top of the city at this time. In fact, after he learned that the official army was defeated in the Battle of Jinan, he realized that it would be only a matter of time before Huo Chong fought to Laiwu. At this time, he heard the content shouted by the people shouting at the city, with clear structure, complete content, and generous choices, which was shocked.

How could even a group of thieves have such strength? The county magistrate could not understand it at all. The county magistrate was born as a Jinshi, and the county magistrate was usually a juren or a donation official. The county magistrate was a donation official. Seeing that the thieves gradually arranged the array under the city, the county magistrate dared not stay on the city anymore, and shouted to the people in front of him: "Defend the city! I'll wait for you to fight off the thieves in the county government."

After saying that, he went downstairs.

When the county magistrate disappeared without a trace, the brothers on the city wall looked at each other for a few seconds, and some people went to see if the county magistrate had gone far away.

The people looked at it for a while, and when they came back, they whispered to everyone: "The county magistrate is really leaving."

The eyes communicated among the crowd, but eventually fell on the captured and released people with rich experience.

Under tremendous pressure, this experienced guy finally chose his final opinion based on his experience, "Mr. Huo can listen when speaking."

When it reaches this point, there is nothing to say. Someone has already run to the brigade and communicate with the Han troops under the city.

Not long after, after the Han troops fired a few guns and fired a few shots, they began to erect a ladder.
