The big car shop is not within the wall of the Guangfu Town Fortress. There is a distance between the two, which is more like a market outside the town.

Daniel and Lev stood outside the courtyard wall of the car shop, looking at the development of the situation in the distance with a gloomy face.

"I don't know which side of the person who took action?" Lev asked. "Are we going to do it now?"

Daniel thought for a while, shook his head, and said, "No, the hospital in Guangfu Town is on the mountain. Now the town gate is closed and the defense is tight. With the few people in our hands, we can't attack it at all, and we will only lose our lives in vain!"

"Then do you mean?" Lev looked at Daniel. He said that attacking the hospital was just a test. In fact, both of them wanted to go together.

"Take this opportunity, let's withdraw!"

Until dawn, Guangfu Town did not send large-scale troops, but several teams of reconnaissance cavalry left the military fort to investigate the surrounding situation. The garrisons of several important facilities on the periphery were also on high alert, but fortunately they were not attacked by the Ma Bandit Alliance. Although the power station was attacked, under the strong defense of the 500 garrisons, the Ma Bandit Alliance chose to retreat before the early morning after throwing down two hundred bodies.

Lao Scorpion and several senior executives in Guangfu Town were listening to the report. They didn’t sleep all night, and everyone’s face was not very good.

Liu Jinbao said at this time: "Everything is normal at the power station so far. Because the opponent does not have heavy weapons, the facilities are still intact. The workers are in good mood except for being frightened. However, the losses in the herdsman camp are very serious. We only have some joint defense team members there. Although we tried our best to resist, the enemy was too small. In the end, most of the herdsmen evacuated to an area closer to our military fort under the cover of our cavalry. However... Although we rescued a lot of herdsmen, a large part of their cattle and sheep were taken away by the attackers. At present, the reconnaissance team has been dispatched, but the enemy is too small and we dare not follow too close."

The old scorpion stood in front of the window. Although it was far away, you could still hear the herdsmen outside the military fort crying at the top of their lungs. Without cattle and sheep, these herdsmen were basically cut off their way. If no one came to help at this time, the ending would either be a horse bandit or the whole family would starve to death.

"These bastards! Don't let me find out your origin!"

Alimu shouted. He is the business manager of Guangfu Town, from Xinjiang, Qing Dynasty, and was born in the wealthy landlord family of Tacheng. Because he had business dealings with several major groups in Northeast China for a long time, Alimu was sent to Northeast China by his family to study. A few years ago, he joined the Northeast Autonomous Region Government and became an official in charge of the Central Asian trade department. "Mayor, although our town has not suffered any losses, these herders trust us to live in the camp. Now they have suffered losses. If we don't avenge them, it will be disappointing!"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was talking.

Everyone knows what Alimu said makes sense, but Old Scorpion didn't respond. In his position, the things they consider cannot be considered from a commercial perspective alone. Although several reconnaissance companies have gone out, the enemy is too sudden, and time is in a hurry. If they have other ambush and deliberately lure the enemy into the deep, and then there will be large-scale losses in the military force, the entire Guangfu Town will be in danger.

"The snow outside has stopped!" After a long time, the old scorpion sighed, and was about to move forward and retreat.

To be honest, as a person in charge, the quality of the old Scorpion itself is not suitable. His character is more conservative, but he is not determined enough. If the attack last night was replaced by other senior management of the insurance team for defense, most of them would send troops to support the battlefield and moderately clearing them. Because these people believe that with the strength of the cavalry in the Refu Town, no matter how many or strong the enemy is on the other side, as long as there are no heavy weapons, they are not their opponents. If the other party has heavy weapons, they are also confident that their cavalry units can break out of the enemy's trap and return safely.

Just when the countermeasures meeting was held yesterday, there were not a single general who advocated sending troops. However, for the sake of safety, the old Scorpion chose to talk about it after dawn. Although this was suspected of delaying the opportunity to fight, it was not a mistake in the end. However, if the troops were not sent, the other military officers who led the troops were a little unhappy.

When Liu Jinbao saw that the atmosphere was wrong, he immediately said: "Master, since the snow has stopped and the wind has stopped, should we go out and take a look at our airship?"

There are no large airships in Guangfu Town now, only three small reconnaissance airships driven by two people. Generally speaking, one is on standby, one is training, and one is repaired.

The old scorpion nodded, and at this time he seemed to have made up his mind and said, "Tell the ministries to set off immediately when there is news."

"Yes!" The generals rubbed their fists and the resentment on their eyebrows finally began to dissipate.

After making some arrangements, only Old Scorpion and Liu Jinbao were left in the room. Old Scorpion said helplessly: "Jinbao, am I too conservative?"

Liu Jinbao shook his head and said, "In my personal opinion, it is not important whether the troops were sent last night or not. However, since the headquarters handed over Guangfu Town to the mayor for responsibility, it is also your trust in the mayor. It is not a good choice to act safely. However, the current problem has just begun. The whereabouts of the enemies who attacked us are currently unknown. However, since they snatched a lot of cattle and sheep from the herders, their speed will definitely be affected. In addition, the wind and snow last night, the weather was cold and slippery, I think it would be impossible for them to fly far away."

“What you said makes sense!”

"Then with the above judgment, I think there is no need for us to worry about the enemy. With the strength of the cavalry of my Northeast Insurance Team, even if we face the Russian regular cavalry army, as long as it is not three times as high as us, there will be no danger. Besides, we still have eyes in the sky, and even if those horse bandits want to set traps for us, it will be a waste of effort." Liu Jinbao paused at this time, and then continued: "The enemy's problems are easy to solve, but if we cannot effectively resettle those herders who have lost cattle and sheep, in my opinion, the problem is far greater than those horse bandits who have escaped!"

"We really can't let the herdsmen feel disappointed after losing their homes! Otherwise, it will bring great obstacles to our rule here in the future. Let's do this, this winter, we will temporarily place these herdsmen who have lost cattle and sheep to work. Anyway, we have the strength to work here! We provide them with food and drink. After spring is in full bloom, we will use this winter to mobilize a batch of cattle and sheep from the local area and distribute it to them. In this way, their livelihoods will be settled, and cattle and sheep will be regarded as wages for work."

The method proposed by the old Scorpion is not good or bad.

Liu Jinbao helped him pick up the leaks. At this moment, the guards came in and said that Chen Gouzi wanted to see him. The old scorpion frowned. After listening to Chen Gouzi's story, he realized that the Russians who were originally hiding in the cart shop actually escaped last night in the chaos.
