Warlords: Conquer the world from the county magistrate

Early the next morning, Fang Guoxuan arrived at the base to report the battle.

Bendu was sitting down to eat, so Fang Jian had to put down his chopsticks and asked, "How is it? Did the troops suffer any losses?"

Fang Guoxuan could only smile apologetically for disturbing Fang Jian'an's breakfast. When he heard the question, he couldn't help but become more serious.

"The troops attacked the Zhang family and encountered stubborn resistance, killing more than 18 guards of the Zhang family. We also lost soldiers in the battle and injured more than a dozen." When he said this, Fang Guoxuan became even more sad.

Fang Jian raised his eyebrows, feeling very surprised. He looked straight at Fang Guoxuan and said, "How come the casualties are greater than those in capturing a county town?"

"Based on this, I also did an analysis." Fang Guoxuan handed over a document.

I took the document and looked at it. There were about three items recorded on it.

First, the bravery and fighting spirit of the Zhang family’s troops were stronger than those of Zhang Shengwu’s troops, which was why they put up such stubborn resistance.

Seeing the first point, Fang Jian could understand it. After all, in addition to enhancing the combat effectiveness of his own army, it was impossible to expect that the enemy's troops were all weaklings.

If the Zhang family had not had too few guards and insufficient guns and weapons, the casualties would have been even greater.

The second point that Fang Guoxuan analyzed was that the visibility was unclear at night and many soldiers were shot because they could not react in time.

In this regard, Francis Jian had no good solution. To improve night combat capabilities, many people had many ideas, but in reality there were only two ways that could be achieved.

The first is to improve nighttime visibility, either by using equipment or by improving the night vision of the eyes.

The second is training. Through continuous night training, you can become familiar with and master the ability of night combat.

Fang Jian could only ask the troops to do more night training in the future to improve their ability in this area. Of course, doing so would require long-term continuous training to be effective, and it was not something that could be achieved by just practicing casually.

The third point Fang Guoxuan introduced was that there were not enough grenades for close combat weapons. Once entering the mansion, it was difficult for artillery support to be effective, and close combat high-powered weapons could only rely on grenades.

After several battles, the soldiers had few grenades on them, which also increased casualties.

Speaking of grenades, Fang Jian felt a little embarrassed. He had not thought of this when he exchanged weapons before. At that time, he was thinking about exchanging mountain cannons and mortars, which had relatively strong firepower, so he forgot about the grenades.

"cough……"

With a light cough, to hide the embarrassment on his face, Fang Jian asked, "What about the losses from attacking the military camp outside the city?"

"In the surprise attack outside the city, 267 enemies were killed, 231 were captured, 14 old sleeves and five box guns were seized. Our side suffered 23 casualties and were injured," Fang Guoxuan introduced.

The losses were not small either. The guard regiment was composed of soldiers given by the system, and they were all elite soldiers. Fang Jian was heartbroken to see such a large loss.

Afterwards, Fang Jian asked with concern, "How much valuables were seized from the Zhang residence?"

"We got a total of 20 silver dollars, large yellow croakers, small yellow croakers, many antique paintings and calligraphy, houses and shops, etc." Fang Guoxuan said with a smile when talking about the seized property.

Fang Jian was very satisfied. The amount of property he amassed was almost as much as what he had seized from the government warehouse in Fenglin City.

Fang Guoxuan then asked, "Commander, how do we deal with Zhang Xumin?"

"Publicly try him and deal with him however you want." Fang Jian smiled coldly.

As a wealthy man in Xinyuan County, Zhang Xumin had done many bad things. Even if he was not sentenced to death, he would be imprisoned for decades.

Fang Jian immediately said, "By the way, isn't his son still in prison? At that time, I took his money and stole government property, but he was only sentenced to one year."

"This time we will collect all his past crimes and punish him accordingly. We also abide by rules and reason."

After giving instructions on these trivial matters, Fang Jianan brought up the serious business again: "Guoxuan, get ready. Rest today and set out tomorrow to occupy Changhuan City."

"Yes." Fang Guoxuan saluted and went downstairs to make arrangements.

After a while, Fang Weijia came to report: "Commander, the secretary of the mayor of Changhuan City has been arrested. How should we deal with this guy?"

"Hand him over to the police station and let the court try him." He waved his hand. Fang Jian had no interest in paying attention to such a small person.

After some free time, Fang Jian checked the system and found that he still had 5 points. It was a new month and he could redeem weapons again.

When it comes to exchanging weapons, Fang Jian is a little depressed. The last time the system was upgraded was at the end of the month, and when it was upgraded, the number of exchanges would increase with the upgrade.

For example, for rifles, the exchange quantity at level zero is 500. After 500 rifles have been exchanged, the system is upgraded to level one just this month.

The exchange quantity becomes 1000 sticks. If 500 sticks have been exchanged before, 500 sticks can still be exchanged.

After the upgrade last month, Fang Jian was so busy that he forgot about the extra exchange quantity.

With a sigh, Fang Jian asked, "System, can the exchanged materials be sent to different places?"

"Ding, yes."

Fang Jian was relieved that the supplies could be transported between the two places. He planned to send most of the replacement supplies to Fenglin, and Xinyuan County only needed to receive a part of the grenades.

After thinking about it, the number of weapons unlocked this time has doubled compared to before, and 50,000 points is definitely not enough.

Fang Jian communicated with the system and said, "System, exchange 20 silver dollars, 800 large yellow croakers, and 5000 small yellow croakers for points."

"Ding, a total of 59 points can be exchanged. Points are being exchanged. The recycling team will arrive in one day. Do you want to trade?"

"Transaction." Fang Jianan exchanged all the property confiscated from Zhang's house. As for the antique calligraphy and paintings, Fang Jianan was not going to touch them. After all, they were the culture of this world.

Afterwards, Fang Jian began to communicate with the system again: "System, I want to exchange 3 sets of military uniforms and 100 million grenades."

“步枪2000支，子弹100万发。冲锋枪400支，子弹100万发。轻机枪400支，子弹100万发。通用机枪200支，子弹100万发。”

“75口径山炮4门，炮弹1000枚。105口径榴弹炮一门，炮弹1000枚。”

"Help me exchange for 100 more trucks."

"Ding, a total of 22 points are required. Do you want to redeem?"

Fang Jian said without hesitation: "Exchange."

"The exchange was successful, and the delivery team will arrive in one day."

Francis Xan communicated: "Send 10 rifle bullets, 10 submachine gun bullets, 10 light machine gun bullets, and 10 general-purpose machine gun bullets. 10 grenades, 105-caliber howitzers, 1000 artillery shells, and 100 trucks to Xinyuan County."

"All other remaining supplies will be transported to Fenglin City."

"Ding, it has been arranged according to your request."

Grenades are naturally prepared for distribution to soldiers, and howitzers are also used to prevent accidents. Its maximum range is 12.8km, and its killing radius can reach 15-30 meters.

Trucks are naturally used to transport troops. 100 trucks can carry people. The number of people in the First Guard Regiment this time is exactly more than .

The trucks donated by the system before are just right for transporting weapons, ammunition, as well as howitzers and ammunition.
