Now that Xu An had an extra 24,000 people, the arrangements were almost done.
The old, weak, women, and children were all brought to farm by Chen Yang. To them, farming was much better than letting them go to the battlefield.
In this way, the food problem could be solved.
Those with combat strength were all incorporated into the combat team. Of course, it would be a pity if some of the economics talents were not used to earn money.
According to Xu An's distribution, the army had now expanded to 12,000 people.
They were distributed on the surrounding mountains and were not far away. As long as there was any movement from Xu An's side, they could rush over quickly.
What they lacked the most was actually weapons and equipment.
They didn't have many guns in their hands to begin with. At the moment, they only had 4,000 guns. Their bullets were pitifully few.
It was indeed a problem for the remaining people to not have guns now.
However, Xu An was not in a hurry. There were no guns or cannons. The devils would make them for us.
With Xu An's current capital, it was not a big problem to get guns and cannons.
He had 4,000 soldiers and 1,000 Bobossa submachine guns. Even Chu Yunfei's 358th Regiment might not be able to compare to this level of firepower.
Of course, there was still one more thing that needed to be resolved, and that was the horse.
Raising a horse was not easy. If one wanted to raise a horse well, the monthly rations were enough to feed several people.
At present, Xu An was having a headache raising these people, let alone raising horses.
Therefore, how to deal with these horses gave Xu An a headache.
" Chief, although we have more than 300 horses now, it's not easy to raise them…" Miao Tianfeng said to Xu An.
Xu An was also thinking about this problem. After thinking for a while, he asked,"Elder Miao, how many horses do you think are suitable for our current situation?”
"With our current situation, we can build a cavalry unit. However, we can't afford it at the moment. After all, we're not a regular army, but bandits. I think a cavalry company is enough.”
Miao Tianfeng replied.
Currently, Xu An only had 4,000 people with weapons. There were also people who were considered combatants, but they did not have weapons.
Since he did not have any weapons on hand, Xu An did not consider letting them fight in the war unless it was necessary.
Therefore, Xu An only had a 4,000-man army, including himself. A cavalry company with 4,000 people would be enough.
He really couldn't afford more.
However, since the horses had been brought back, what should he do with the rest? He couldn't possibly send the horse back to the puppet army, right?
There was no need to directly give it to No. 8. Why should I give you my horses for free?
Therefore, after thinking about it, Xu An decided to pick out a hundred high-grade horses and sell the rest.
Who would he sell the remaining 200 horses to? Sell it to Li Yunlong?
This was obviously impossible because Li Yunlong really couldn't afford it!
Therefore, after thinking about it, Xu An still felt that it was more appropriate to sell it to Chu Yunfei.
The Jinsui Army was rich and could afford two hundred horses.
Xu An immediately said," Zhao Xiaoshan, send someone to contact Commander Chu immediately. Tell him that I have 200 warhorses that I want to sell. If he's interested, ask him to come to the Black Cloud Stronghold to discuss it in detail."”
"Yes, sir!" Zhao Xiaoshan immediately retreated and went to make arrangements.
On the other side, the 386th Brigade Independent Regiment.
Li Yunlong had been very unhappy in the past few days.
After all, that was a f * cking cavalry battalion! How could he feel comfortable if it was gone like this?
At this moment, the phone rang. The person on the other end of the phone smiled and said,"Li Yunlong, congratulations on your fortune.”
Hearing this, Li Yunlong said bitterly,""What do you mean by rich? I'm so poor that I'm about to eat.”
"Hehe, how can you hide this from my eyes?”"Let me tell you, I'll find out the next day!" the brigade commander said with a smile. You brought people to Wan Jia Town and brought the cavalry back, right?”
The brigade commander knew that Li Yunlong had mobilized the troops without permission. How could he hide this from him?
However, the brigade commander was also interested in horses, so he didn't care. After two days, he called Li Yunlong and prepared to ask for horses.
However, what he did not know was that Li Yunlong had indeed gone, but as for the horse... it was indeed not brought back...
"Tell me honestly, how much did you get this time?”The brigade commander asked.
At this moment, Li Yunlong felt wronged and said bitterly,""Brigadier general, I really didn't get any benefits this time. The bandit leader of the Black Cloud Stronghold, damn it, snatched Ma Quan away!
Not only the horse, he didn't even leave a single strand of hair for me! Even the fifth wife of the commander of the puppet cavalry battalion was snatched up by the bandit leader…This time, I really got nothing…"
Right now, Li Yunlong's heart was really bitter! But what could he do? Could it be that they were going to the Black Cloud Stronghold to ask for horses?
