I traveled through time, starting with two acres of land and a dog

"Thank you for the compliment, sir. These are what I should do," Peng Huiyu said shyly.

"Brother Peng, how many people are there in Bashan area now?" Du Chenyu asked?

"Report to the young master, at present, since the bandits in this area have been almost wiped out or driven away by us, the overall situation is relatively stable. Therefore, we have set up three forts on the road to Ningqiang, with a total of more than 3 people. We have established a mobile guard team of more than 800 people, and a militia team in each fort," Peng Huiyu reported.

In less than a year, he established a team of a thousand people, and was able to command the army on horseback and the people on foot. He was worthy of being the all-round talent recommended by teacher Yang Chaoyi.

"Good...good...great, Brother Peng, where did you get so many guns and equipment?" Du Chenyu asked. In fact, recruiting and training soldiers were not difficult. The key was weapons. If Du Chenyu didn't rely on robbery, he would not be able to get the weapons to form a team of 1,000 people.

"My lord, there are two ways. One is to rob bandits and those weaker militiamen, and the other is to purchase in Ningqiang. Due to the war in Sichuan, the north has been continuously transporting military supplies to Sichuan. Ningqiang is also a small transit station with more than 500 officers and soldiers stationed there. As long as you have money, you can still buy some from there," said Peng Huiyu.

Du Chenyu suddenly became interested when he heard that Ningqiang actually had a weapons transfer station. "Where is the weapons transfer station? Are there any weapons in it now?" Du Chenyu asked.

"There should be more. In the later period, the Beiyang military was at a disadvantage and they transported weapons to the south many times, but the North did not replenish them in time, so it is estimated that there are not many left," said Peng Huiyu.

"How is Ningqiang's military strength now?" Du Chenyu asked.

"At the beginning, more than 300 soldiers went south to guard the arsenal, and there were 200 soldiers left to guard it. Together with the more than 800 soldiers in the Ningqiang joint defense brigade, the total number was more than 1000 people, but they were well-equipped, with some heavy machine guns and mortars," Peng Huiyu introduced.

Du Chenyu did not continue asking and gathered at Maoheba that day, waiting for other troops. When he saw Li Long, he asked him why he did not take him to attack Jizhou and Bazhou. These big battles made him bully some militia teams, and he seemed very dissatisfied. Du Chenyu told him that there would be a big battle this time and he should be prepared, and then he ended the questioning.

In the evening, Du Chenyu called Luo Feng and He Chaowu and asked them to make arrangements to enter Ningqiang City in advance and gave them some instructions.

The next day, each team arrived at Maoheba in battalion units. Du Chenyu summoned the leaders of each battalion to arrange tasks. In order to take control of Ningqiang in advance and seize arms, Du Chenyu temporarily decided to gather the current troops, disguise themselves as bandits and raid Ningqiang, try not to kill people, but only liquidate several bullies and major officials in the city, and then abolish Ningqiang's armed forces in the future.

Li Long, Zhou Kui, Peng Huiyu and Du Chenyu personally led the team to attack the South Gate, and Chen Jinhu was responsible for attacking the North Gate, totaling nearly 3000 people. Three days later in the early morning, based on the signal from the special service team ambushing in the city, all units must arrive at the designated location the day after tomorrow night.

All persons must wear masks and attack the city in the image of bandits. They are not allowed to do anything that harms the civilians, otherwise they will be punished by military law.

After a night's rest, the various units did not act in unison, but marched northward in battalions, trying to pass through mountains and forests along the way and avoid the main roads. Only Du Chenyu, Peng Huiyu and a guard team of more than 300 people marched openly on the main road to attract attention.

They arrived in Ningqiang two days later. Manager Huang, who managed the Ningqiang warehouse, had already purchased more than 10 acres outside the city and armed over 100 people with more than 50 guns and a light machine gun. He was a considerable force. He is currently the person in charge of the Ningqiang area.

"Greetings, sir. Please come in," said Manager Huang, who came with a dozen people to greet him ten miles away.

"Thank you for your hard work, Manager Huang. You have made great contributions to Ningqiang in the past year. Both the profit performance and the arms purchase have exceeded the expected target. People with merit should not be buried. You can continue to expand the escort force in the future and enjoy the treatment of the company commander level." Du Chenyu highly affirmed the work of Manager Huang. In the Dujia Army Group, the company commander level is currently the main middle level, and only the regiment and battalion levels are considered high-level. Of course, Du Zongyi, Du Chenyu, and Yang Chaoyi have a transcendent status.

"Thank you for your cultivation, young master," Shopkeeper Huang immediately saluted to express his gratitude. Currently in Bashan area, only Peng Huiyu is at the battalion level, and the captains of other military academies are all at the company commander level. Of course, he, Huang Caihua, is flattered to be able to join the high level.

"Other matters shall proceed as planned," Du Chenyu ordered.

The group came to the base warehouse, where Du Chenyu, Huang Caihua and Peng Huiyu discussed things alone.

"Manager Huang, how many of us are there in the city now?" Du Chenyu asked first.

"Reporting to the young master, we are currently led by Captain He, and there are more than 200 people lurking in the city. Through our several shipments of food and cloth, more than 50 guns were brought into the city. In addition, there were several times when people came in and out, and no more than five guns were brought into the city each time, plus there are 50 guns stored in the city. There are a total of 123 guns, more than 60 grenades, and a light machine gun," Huang Caihua reported. Since the last bandit invasion, Ningqiang has stipulated that, except for the official army, all other organizations are not allowed to bring more than 5 guns into the city. They must also be registered organizations to bring guns into the city. Other teams passing by need to take the path across the river.

"Everyone has the same weapon, so capturing the city gate shouldn't be a problem." Please wait quietly for the plan to begin.

In the evening, Du Chenyu had received information that all the teams had arrived at their designated locations. The last ray of setting sun was swallowed up by the darkness. Dinner had already been had in the base, and everyone was divided into two groups, one wearing bandit clothes, and the other still wearing guard clothes.

On the other hand, He Chaowu led 20 special service team members and 80 reconnaissance team members at the city gate, plus 115 guards who were ambushed in advance by Manager Huang. They all hid in the basements of three buildings, a shop, a doctor's clinic, and an inn. These three storefronts were nominally run by different businesses, but in fact they were all secret strongholds of the Du family army. Even Huang Caihua didn't know that the teahouse stronghold was the stronghold of Hu Laowu's "White Dove" organization. Of course He Chaowu knew about it because he built it himself. This time for the Tibetans, he arranged 30 people to hide in it. Anyway, Ningqiang would be their semi-actually controlled area in the future, so it didn't matter if it was exposed.

"Captain, there is still a quarter of an hour until 1 a.m.," a team member on duty woke up He Chaowu.

"Prepare immediately and act on time," He Chaowu ordered.

"Action", at 1 o'clock sharp, He Chaowu led 30 people to flip over the exit obstacles in the backyard and let out three dog barks as a signal.

All the teams from the street appeared and rushed to the South Gate. According to the information available, there were 80 night patrol members at the South Gate. He Chaowu planned to resolve the battle in 5 minutes and occupy the city gate.
