On the morning of the third day when Wang Lanling's family arrived in Shanhai County, a pastoral man riding a fat horse quickly drove into the market in Shanhai County, and galloped all the way to the place in front of the county office.

Hu Zhong quickly jumped off his horse and shouted to the person guarding the door in front of him: "I have something important to tell Lord Wang, where is your lord now?" ”

Chai Tuo quickly said, "Your Excellency is inside." ”

Hu Zhong breathed a sigh of relief, he still thought that Wang Lanling was resting there in the Xianshui Palace.

After knowing that Wang Lanling was inside, Hu Zhong quickly walked in.

Chai Tuo asked the other person to continue to guard, and he followed in.

Wang Lanling was stretching his hands and feet in the courtyard, and when he saw Chai Tuo and Hu Zhong coming, he stood up and said, "But something happened?" ”

Hu Zhong nodded solemnly and said: "That's true, I asked someone to inquire about it, in the past two days, several bandits in the mountains have been preparing horses, donkeys and mules, according to the information of a friend of mine, the bandits nearby are ready to do a big deal before leaving!" ”

Wang Lanling felt a little unhappy, although he had made preparations for prevention, but he still hoped that these people would be afraid of the majesty of the imperial court and leave with their tails between their legs.

The current approach and mentality of these people can only show one problem, the majesty of the empire is not so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

These people did not run away because they were afraid because the court was going to deal with them, but thought about wrestling with the court.

This kind of thing, in fact, is that there are many in modern society, such as the drug village that dares to fight against the state.

Facts have proved that whether it is a civilized society or a feudal society, it is not so easy to control people's hearts.

Embezzlement is a crime, and it should be that way.

When bandits rob, you don't need any threshold, as long as you can bully people and scare people.

Since being a bandit can make money and live a life of big fish and meat, there will be no shortage of people who can be bandits.

"Who are they going to rob?" Wang Lanling wanted to know which big family was targeted by these people.

Hu Zhong paused for a moment and said: "It's you, my lord, there are bandits at the foot of Jinshan Mountain and Yanshan Lake nearby, and they all know that your lordship has pulled more than a dozen carts of treasures in the Xianshui Palace, and those people are ready to rob your treasure and woman, and then leave here to change places and continue to be the king." ”

Wang Lanling smiled helplessly, "It's not that I'm stupid, it's just that I'm used to being an official, and I really didn't expect that some people really set their goals on me, not Shanhai County." ”

Wang Lanling smiled and said with a smile: "It's not Shanhai County, it's not those landlords and people, it's my Wang Lanling's family and baby, well, the goal of these candidates is good." ”

Chai Tuo quickly shouted: "My lord! I would like to go to the state capital for my lords to ask the army to quell the rebellion! ”

At this time, of course, he had to invite the imperial army to come over, Chai Tuo, like many people in the Environmental Sanitation Division, had very good leg and foot skills, and at this time he decided to move the rescue troops as quickly as possible.

Hu Zhong said: "It's too late, it is estimated that it will be today and tomorrow, I have already asked people to call all the men in the tribe, as well as the people of the Iron Camel Tribe, this time we will swear to protect the adults to the death!" ”

Wang Lanling nodded, and said calmly: "When I ordered the arrest of people, I expected that someone would take the opportunity to make trouble, so after you left, I let people gather the county citizens, and also set up guns on the commanding heights. ”

"When marching and fighting, the first thing is to understand the strength between yourself and the enemy, although I don't know who those bandits are this time, but those who followed me from Heishui County to here, there are no people who are greedy for life and afraid of death!"

"If those thieves dare to come this time, I will turn their bones to ashes!"

Hu Zhong saw Wang Lanling's determination, and also said: "My lord, please rest assured, I don't have any waste!" This time, we will definitely fight those horse bandits to the end! ”

There was no time to delay, Wang Lanling quickly asked people to cook, and at the same time summoned various management personnel of the county government.

"Gong Yue is full, you organize people to quickly go to the Xianshui Palace for refuge, the elderly, women and children are given priority, and the young and strong people in the city stay to protect their homeland!"

"Zhao Gongqian, you take your family to guard the Xianshui Palace, and set up gun muzzles at the windows of several high-rise buildings."

"Iron and gold, Wang Ni, Wang Lanyun, you quickly separate the gunpowder you have on hand, give some of it to the Xianshui Palace, and leave the other four layers to make earth bombs."

"Lin Zunian, you are responsible for coordinating the township Yong, I am afraid that the number of those bandits will not be small, you will distribute the guns seized this time to improve everyone's self-protection ability."

The people on the Muzhou side are different from other places, they usually don't act collectively, and once they do, it will definitely come to the time when they must unite, and there will be no small forces that are too small in number.

Just like Wang Lanling thought that Jiang Hechuan lied about his military exploits in the past, in the process of confrontation between Muzhou and Shanzhou people, he relied on grouping and uniting.

It's the same in normal times, there are many guns here, and everyone can have a gun, and since he chose to work against Wang Lanling, a court official, the number will definitely not be less than a thousand!

Wang Lanling had just arrested more than 600 people in three places on his front foot, and the number of those people was definitely several times that of this!

In the matter of defending the county seat and the Xianshui Palace, everyone expressed their opinions, and they also discussed around the big map of Shanhai County.

The urban map of Heishui County has not yet been drawn, and this kind of thing should have been made by the people of the City Patrol Division a long time ago, but it is inferior to Heishui County in all aspects, and Wang Lanling has no time to develop.

This time it is a matter of life and death, Shanhai County is not protected by a city wall like Heishui County, once the thieves enter the county seat, or attack the Xianshui Palace without the protection of the wall, then things will be in trouble.

Sensui Palace is a good place, but there are no protective measures in place, which is one of the reasons why those county guards are moving.

In times of poor security, villas on the hills are not a good place to go.

Just as everyone had finished eating, thinking solemnly about how to use the limited number of guns and ammunition to defend most of the area, a person who did not belong to the meeting personnel opened his mouth.

"I have a way to save some bullets."

The voice was a little crisp, and everyone looked over.

I saw a child with a steamed bun standing there looking at everyone, this person's skin is a little dark, he is the kind of country wild boy, there is a stubborn and stubborn momentum on his body, and he is not so likable.

When Wang Lanling saw this child, he said curiously, "Who are you?" ”

The child said loudly: "Tian is not afraid! ”

Wang Lanling smiled, "Come to think of it, I have always remembered you, and I also asked if your family would like to come over, but I haven't had time to see you in the past few years, and there have been great changes from a few years ago." ”

Tian said respectfully: "My father and mother have always remembered the great kindness of adults, follow adults, we will definitely be able to live a good life, where adults let us go, we will go!" ”

Wang Lanling smiled and said: "Tell me what you have to do, don't worry, every day many people convey their opinions to me, and the people sitting here are the ones who give me advice, whether you listen to it or not, it's my business, it doesn't matter if it's wrong, I will choose the method that I think is feasible." Come closer and let me know what you think. ”

Tian walked nervously to the center of the courtyard and walked to the table under the gaze of the people around him.

"Mushroom Mountain is out of the middle of the mountainside, the terrain is much higher than the county, I went up to see, the slope there is not big, the carriage and ox cart can go up slowly, there are many roads up the mountain, there is only one road to the Xianshui Palace, here is the key to victory!"

Lin Zunian said disdainfully: "Place obstacles on the mountain road? There is no time to do this kind of thing at the moment, not to mention the manpower to transport thousands of catties of things to the mountain, and the width of the mountain road alone cannot be blocked in a day or two! ”

If you have time to set up obstacles, it is better to go directly to Jinshan County and the state capital for help.

Tian was not afraid to press the steamed bun in his hand on the table and pressed it against the position of Mushroom Mountain.

"That's not what I'm talking about, I want to lead the cattle and sheep to the mountain, and when those people come, let the cattle and sheep run down the mountain in fright, these cattle and sheep can make the horses can't run, and the people can't run! It's like wading water in a river, and you can't go fast! ”

When Hu Zhong heard this, he said in surprise: "Is this the Fire Bull Array?" ”

In this world, there are also animal-based formations, which are mainly used to create chaos and waste the opponent's bows and arrows and city defense props.

Wang Lanling said with a smile: "No, it should be said that it is to create a battlefield that is beneficial to us, just like changing the terrain of the battlefield with the help of water and fire." ”

"Stones are dead, cattle and sheep are alive, and if you lead them to the mountains, these are walls of flesh that can move."

Wang Lanling looked at Wu Chi, "Wu Chi, this is handed over to you, and lead the cattle and sheep that came over to the mountain." ”

"Yes!" Wu Chi quickly agreed.

Hu Zhong gave Wang Lanling 50,000 head of cattle, sheep and livestock, which came in handy at this time.

Even if it's 10,000 pigs, it's not a matter of a day or two to clean them up.

During the shootout between the two sides, 50,000 cows, sheep and camels ran down in the sky, especially the battle situation in the low place and the high place, I am afraid that it will be extremely chaotic.
