However, not long after Chen Zilong and the others stepped on the big ship, before the ship started, they saw a knight on the north shore of the pier rushing over.

As he galloped his horse, he shouted, "Ten miles to the north, two thousand rogues are coming." ”

"Wow"

This cry was like a life, and it suddenly exploded on the Nirvana dock.

The homeless people, who had long been afraid of the homeless to the bone, kept crying and crowding, trying to rush desperately to the ships docked on the docks.

"Calm down, calm down, everyone!"

On the boat, Chen Zilong saw that the doctor was constantly shouting to Bin and the scribes, while beckoning the people of the militia on the dock to maintain order.

"Bang", "Bang"

Seeing that the crowd was getting more and more noisy, the militia groups on the dock took off their shoulder shotguns and opened fire into the sky.

Chen Zilong was sharp-eyed to find that the shotguns in the hands of these militia groups could be fired without the need for a fire rope, and his heart was moved when he saw it.

More than a dozen gunshots quieted the displaced people at once, and the order of the scene was immediately controlled.

Xiang Bin seems to be in charge here, and in Chen Zilong's eyes, he took a big horn-like thing and shouted:

"Everyone, be quiet, don't worry, the rogues are still ten miles away, and we have time to transfer."

Marven and the other homeless people looked up at Xiang Bin with a panicked expression.

Xiang Bin took a deep breath and continued to instruct: "Listen to my order, the scribes of each room will first stop counting the situation of the displaced people, and coordinate the ships to transport all the people to Jitan Town before making arrangements. ”

"The militia immediately notified the market town to get ready, and the rest of the militia members lined up on the periphery to cover the people, understand?"

"Whoa!"

Although there were no more than 100 members of the militia on the wharf, the slogan of Shanhu made the people at the scene feel reassured.

Immediately, the captain of the militia and the like stood up and beckoned his subordinates to begin to move towards the periphery.

After a while, a small phalanx appeared on the north side of the pier, like a strong wall to shield the displaced people from the wind and rain.

On the Nirvana boat, Chen Zilong watched this scene in amazement.

The unity and cooperation of the officials of Dengzhou, the style of not being surprised by changes, made him excited, this is only the gateway to the east of Dengzhou, what should Dengzhou City look like.

After the registration was stopped, the speed of the transfer of displaced people on the dock suddenly accelerated.

Nirvana is not a big river, and in a quarter of an hour, all the displaced people and scribes on the dock were transferred to the opposite town of Jitan.

Stepping onto the hard stone pavement of Jitan Town, Chen Zilong found that the militia on the opposite side did not seem to show signs of withdrawing before he could sigh at the scene in the town.

Not only that, but there were also bursts of neat footsteps in Jitan Town, and hundreds of men dressed in the same way as the militia ran in unison from Chen Zilong and the others who had just disembarked under the command of a person who looked like an officer, and boarded the vacated boat.

"Didn't you say the rogues were coming, why didn't they withdraw to the town to defend it?"

Glancing at the tall and unspeakable city wall of the market town, Chen Zilong grabbed Xiang Bin who was passing by him with some anxiety.

Seeing that it was Chen Zilong who asked, Xiang Bin smiled and said: "Childe doesn't know, these rogues are bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, if we retreat, these pickled killers will think that I Dengzhou is easy to bully, anyway, there are few thieves, it is better to break them up." ”

Chen Zilong's face twitched, damn, how can you say this like a joke, is this thief so weak?

"But this official sees that you are waiting for only a few hundred soldiers and horses, and the horse explorer just said that there are as many as 2,000 rogues."

Xiang Bin shrugged his nose and looked at the militia group running by, "Then I don't know, this matter is in the hands of the head of the Jiao regiment, since he dares to fight, there should be no problem in thinking about it." ”

Chen Zilong looked at a group of scriveners beside Xiang Bin who thought it was true, and was knocked down by the attitude of Xiang Bin and the others again, why are you so confident?

Walking into the solid city wall of Jitan Town, Chen Zilong and a group of displaced people all relaxed, and only with the high wall did they have a sense of security, which was almost engraved in the bones of the Han people.

The layout of the town is not much different from the towns that Chen Zilong has visited before, but the interior of the town is already full of hard roads, and it is cleaner and tidier than other towns.

However, Chen Zilong didn't have time to take a closer look at these, and after talking to Xiang Bin, he followed and climbed the city wall of Jitan Town.

There is even artillery in this little town of Jitan!

Because of Chen Zilong's sake, and because he claimed to be Dou Yuquan's friend, Xiang Bin and the others did not dare to forcibly stop him, so Xiang Bin personally accompanied him all the way to check the form.

"Chen Gongzi, please see, my Dengzhou defense depends on the militia group, there are more than 7,000 people in this Jitan town, there are 1,000 militia groups, except for a few people, the rest of the people are all busy working and training in their spare time, if there is an enemy, they can be called to fight."

Xiang Bin proudly boasted to Chen Zilong about the shape of Jitan Town, these are all things that are placed on the surface, but they don't need to be kept secret.

Sure enough, Chen Zilong couldn't help frowning and said: "Money and food are also needed to maintain the militia group, you have thousands of people's regiments in one town, where does this money and grain come from?" ”

Xiang Bin was stuck, these things naturally can't be said to outsiders, of course, limited to the Liu family's secrecy regulations, his level is not clear.

At that moment, he had no choice but to smile, "This is not something that can be known in the next place, Childe may as well ask again when he sees my family's assassination history." ”

Chen Zilong nodded and asked about the others.

Standing at the head of the city, on the pier on the other side of the river, the Jitan town militia formed two guidelines, forming a herringbone shape to firmly block the intersection.

From the time someone reported the news to seeing the smoke rising from the Liukou Brigade, Chen Zilong and the others waited for almost an hour.

Seeing that the shadow of the rogue on the other side of the river was getting clearer and clearer, Chen Zilong and the others couldn't help but perk up.

The rogues on the opposite side had no banner, and it is estimated that they did not expect that Jitan Town would dare to send troops to fight directly on the other side of the river, and after a distance of almost two miles, these people actually stopped directly.

However, before they could figure out how to deal with it, the Jitan Town People's League took the lead.

Listening to the faint sound of slogans on the other side of the river, the army formation of 600 people began to march in a neat manner towards the Liukou.

Chen Zilong found that every 200 or so steps, the militia groups had to stop and reorganize their queues.

Therefore, when it was less than half a mile away from Liukou, the whole policy still maintained a neat formation.

At this time, the rogue on the opposite side obviously couldn't sit still, and when he saw that the militia group was getting closer and closer to him, one of the leaders of the rogue raised his arms and shouted, and a group of rogue robbers dressed in various clothes and armed with spears and knives began to swarm up.

"Stand upright, get ready to strike."

On the contrary, the Jitan Township Militia stopped, and the whole policy was divided into three columns, and the people in the first column had already raised their shotguns in their hands.

Chen Zilong looked at the shape on the other side of the river with a nervous face, although he was a jinshi, he had not yet experienced military affairs, and his adrenaline hormones soared at the moment.

"Hit!"

"Bang", "Bang"

As the rogues rushed over, a high-pitched shout rang out from the militia, and puffs of white smoke suddenly rose from the front of the guideline.

It was as if they had been knocked into a wall, and a crowd of men and horses fell with a clatter.

Without waiting for the gang to react, the second column of the militia began to attack again.

The battlefield was like a massacre, and I saw the Jitan Town militia repeating the action of shooting, and the rogue on the opposite side kept falling like cutting wheat.

"This, this, it's as simple as that?"

Chen Zilong was a little dumbfounded on the wall, this way of war was really too different from the military books he had read.

The soldiers and others on the city wall smiled, and they all pursed their lips and said nothing.

Only Xiang Bin smiled and said: "Gongzi Chen, these gangs of rogues are just some thieves, Gongzi look, they can't enter the formation, they can't retreat, it can be seen that there is no official and military teaching of thieves, so we can win so easily." ”

"But if it is replaced by Zhang Xianzhong, Lao Huihui and other old thieves' troops, it will be troublesome, in recent years, they have broken the county, and coerced a large number of officials and soldiers from thieves, and their combat strength has long been not as weak as before, and the current officers and troops may not be able to please it."

It seemed that he felt that what he said was a little too prestigious, so Xiang Bin hurriedly added.

"But if there are really big thieves such as Zhang Xianzhong, the state will definitely find out as soon as possible, and then there will be assassins to lead troops to resist."
