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

"Yes, this is what I admire most about Master Chenyu. In fact, I have eliminated many forces in the past, such as the Red Lantern Society, the Revolutionary Party, the militia, and gangs. I stopped being a bandit in the mountains last year. I disguised myself as a commoner and traveled around Hanzhong and Guangyuan to find a way out for my brothers and me. Finally, I secretly went to Banqiao and Youfangba. I was shocked to see the changes there. In addition, my second brother and Teacher Shen sent messages through various means, so I brought my brothers down the mountain." Du Chenyu was very happy when Chen Jinhai expressed his true feelings about joining them.

"From now on, we are all brothers and revolutionary comrades. We need to be loyal to each other and strive to create a better life for the people. You also need to shoulder more important responsibilities." The pie he painted was very grand, and the eyes of several young men around him lit up when they heard it.

"Yes, if I, Chen Laosi, frown at the slightest as long as Master Chenyu points to a place, I will not be a hero," Chen said, patting his chest.

All the way to the upper reaches of the river, there is a thatched house surrounded by military tents. This is the temporary command post in Chongqing. "Mr. Chenyu, you have worked hard on the journey. Please come in." Zhou Kui always sounds frivolous when he speaks. This is the inherent impression he has had since he and Lei Jianqin eavesdropped on him and Tang Weiwei's love affair in the tree last time.

"Tell me about the current situation," he asked directly after sitting down.

"At present, Captain Li has established defensive fortifications at Muerya and implemented a news blockade in other directions. However, according to the news from Jizhou today, the county is estimated to have known about the incident here and is holding a meeting to strengthen defenses. Yesterday, the Second Regiment sent 50-60 people to check on the bandit attack on Yangjiaba, and they have not left until today. It is estimated that they know about the accident here," Zhou Kui took out some intelligence documents and handed them to him.

"This is certain. There is no wall that is impenetrable. There were such loud gunshots the night before yesterday, and the news was blocked yesterday. Even a dog could tell something big had happened. Besides, you can only block the main roads, but you can block the small paths in the mountains," he analyzed.

"Yes, Master Chenyu is right. Look, are we advancing to the second phase of the battle now?" Zhou looked at him and asked, more seriously this time.

"When I got here, a question came to my mind: Can we defend Chongqing? How will the enemy counterattack? You are the person in charge, so please think about it again," he said, looking at Zhou.

"The only way to get here is to come from Yangjiaba, or go up Heishuigou directly from Jizhou. The other directions are all under our jurisdiction and are very safe," Zhou Kui thought for a while, looked at the map on the table, and gave an accurate answer.

"Since you know this, have you ever thought about whether my few hundred men can stop them if they attack from two directions at the same time?" he asked again.

"We now have 500 men and guns. We can block the enemy separately, but the casualties are estimated to be large," he analyzed. If the enemy attacks in two directions, there will definitely not be only one or two hundred people in each direction. There will be at least 4 to 5 people marching. It is safer in this forest. Fewer people are not enough to feed the bandits.

"Therefore, we certainly cannot bring Yangjiaba under our jurisdiction at the moment. Without repelling the enemy's offensive force, the larger the area, the more difficult it will be to defend. Immediately issue an order to transfer 200 garrison troops from Banqiao Prisoner Camp, Youfangba, and Linshui, and rush here immediately. Your squadron will be under unified command to stop the enemy." I could only continue to transfer troops. The population of these places has increased a lot in recent years, so we can transfer personnel.

"Yes, do it immediately," after the order was conveyed, a signalman rode on horseback to deliver the message.

"You must keep an eye on the movements of the Jizhou Joint Defense Brigade. Captain Chen, you lead the team to build defensive fortifications in the direction of Yangjiagou in advance, just in case," he arranged the next task for Chen Jinhai.

"Yes," Chen turned and left.

Now there is Zhou Kui's squadron and a small team supported by Xue Chen, plus the people I brought, there are more than 200 people. "You go and deal with the affairs in the dam first. I will take half of the people to Muerya to support Li Haoran in the afternoon," he said.

Then they each left, but none of them went out, and continued to warm themselves by the fire and rest in the hut.

In the afternoon, I brought more than 100 people to Muerya, halfway up the slope, the mountain was high and the forest was dense, but the top of the mountain was open, it was not a good place for defense. "Report, the 1st Squadron is digging trenches and building fortifications, please give instructions." As one of the first graduates of the civil and military schools, Li Haoran still has very strong standardized military qualities.

"Let's go and take a look," I said.

"Mr. Chenyu, I see that the top of the mountain here is flat, but the north slope is steep, so I plan to set up layers of defense on the north slope to block the enemy," Li Haoran led the team in front and then came to the north slope. This place is indeed an excellent place for defense, especially there is a cliff in the middle. People coming up from the Black Water Ditch can only come up through a 100-meter wide and gentle slope. Therefore, it is impossible to break through the blocking position built here without thousands of people.

All the way down the slope, trenches were dug in important places, with rammed earth built in the front and some gaps left in the middle of the rammed earth wall to facilitate shooting. Overall, the fortifications were built in a very standardized manner and without any flaws.

"Captain Li, how do you think we can defeat the enemy in the easiest way?" he asked.

"Master Chenyu, although it is not difficult to defend here, we certainly cannot fight for a long time. Our ammunition can only last for two or three days of combat at most. The enemy can transport weapons to Congjizhou along the Black Water Ditch in just one hour, so reinforcements and weapons are constantly coming. We cannot defeat them in a short time, and we will eventually be defeated," Li Haoran analyzed.

"Okay, Brother Li, your analysis is enough to lead a team. It has not let down all these years of study and practical experience. I am relieved that you can see the problem," he said happily.

"How do you think we can break through?" he continued.

"Master Chenyu, look at the Black Water Ditch on the opposite side. There are cliffs and dense forests on both sides, and it is rarely visited by people. There is a 40-50-mile long gorge in the middle. As long as we occupy the terrain on both sides in advance and cut off the enemy's logistics, and then the blocking team here rushes down and compresses the enemy at the bottom of the ditch, the enemy can be completely wiped out," he thought for a while, pointing to the opposite side that led all the way down to the Jizhou Valley.

"Okay, let's do as you say, but the ambush team needs to be elite. Who do you think is suitable?" he asked.

"This task belongs to none other than our 1st Squadron. Both the equipment and military quality of 1st Squadron are the best among other squadrons. There is no task that 1st Squadron cannot complete, so I will lead the team there personally," Li Haoran patted his chest and began to ask for battle.

"Okay, you take another small team, about 150 people, to go around behind the enemy. It's best to go after the war starts, or go in advance. The enemy will have to send people to clear the mountain, so prevent ambushes from both sides," he said.

"Yes, I will ensure the task is completed," Li Jingli replied.

Du Chenyu stayed in a camp on the top of the mountain. Suddenly at night, the north wind howled and heavy snow fell. His barracks was built with logs next to a large rock and was half surrounded by rammed earth. It was relatively solid. There was a fire in the room. He slept on a bed inside with a bear cloak on it. It was very warm and he fell asleep peacefully.
