Chapter Thirty-Four: Defending Bali Town

Bali Town

In Qingyuan County, there are many scattered villages, but there are only a few organized towns.

This is because the people in the countryside of Qingyuan want to buy something, they will generally go directly to the county seat, or go to the nearby towns at a fixed time every month to visit the big market, and they rarely go to the towns and cities.

In this case, almost all the towns in Qingyuan are light on business and heavy on people, which greatly weakens the role of commercial circulation, and focuses more on people's livelihoods, like a combination of a low-profile county town and a high-standard large-scale village.

However, in the end, there are towns with imperial court system, and the necessary scale and equipment are still available, not to mention that because Qingyuan towns are scarce, the county government directly stationed several inspection divisions in the county in each town to maintain public order around them.

Among them, stationed in Bali Town is the East Inspection Division led by Zhang Wei.

………

Zhang Wei, a native of Bali Town, was good at martial arts when he was a child, and once worshiped a famous old boxer in Fucheng as a teacher, practicing martial arts, but unfortunately his talent is limited, and he has not made much progress in martial arts for a long time, so he has no choice but to return to his hometown, relying on his family relationship to enter the inspection department, and later boiled his qualifications to do the inspection, and he is also a big man in the local area.

Zhang Wei has a clean personality and is upright, because he doesn't like Huang Dahu relying on his power to compete in Qingyuan and Ming, collect money, never be with him, and even oppose him a few times because of some things.

It's just that Huang Dahu has a lot of people and a wide range of powers, so it is easy to grasp the lifeblood of the county government controlling the food and salary of the inspectors of the Eastern Inspection Division, and with a little means, Zhang Wei had to lose the battle and promised not to interfere in Huang Dahu's affairs again, and even at some point, his inspection department had to advance and retreat with Huang Dahu.

Although he was "cleaned up" by Huang Dahu, Zhang Wei was still unconvinced, if it was not necessary, he would never show up with Huang Dahu, and the inspection department where he was located was also the only remaining armed force in Qingyuan that was in the same stream as different Huang Daxian lieutenants.

Because of this, Huang Dahu has never been waiting to see the East Inspection Division, and under his arrangement, the county government stipulates the salary, baggage, and weapons issued to the Inspection Division below.

The other three inspection divisions first picked up the good things, and the rest went to the East Inspection Department where Zhang Wei was located, and these grain and ordnance were damaged and deducted to a certain extent in terms of quality and quantity.

Yan Kui's militia group, because of the new establishment, the food and ordnance they received were not good, but in this regard, they were much better than those of the Eastern Inspection Division, which shows what a hard life the Eastern Inspection Division has lived.

………

Zhang Wei himself knew about Huang Dahu's methods, but he had no way to counter them, so he could only comfort himself and let his subordinates use them alive.

However, today, seeing that the weapons of his patrolmen were not as strong as those in the hands of the Black Wind Ridge bandits, Zhang Wei's half-comforting thoughts were finally left behind by him and turned into angry curses.

"Huang Dahu, who is in his mother, Lao Tzu will not be finished with him sooner or later."

Zhang Wei's cronie and nephew Zhang Mantang next to him saw that his uncle was still thinking about scolding, and hurriedly beckoned the two people next to him to take him down the city tower.

The city wall of this Bali town is not as full of bluestone as the county seat, and the earthen wall less than two zhang high is said to be a city tower, but I am afraid that it is not as strong as the high gate courtyard wall of the big family in the county, and the bandits outside attack are fierce, and it is possible to hit the city tower at any time, but Zhang Wei can not be allowed to personally commit danger on it.

However, although he knew that the city tower was dangerous, Zhang Wei was not a person who was greedy for life and afraid of death, leaving aside his nephew, he carefully lay on the female wall of the city tower and glanced out, although it was dark at night, but he could faintly see a large number of figures.

"Damn, the man surnamed Luo has eaten the gall of a leopard, and dares to lead people to attack the town."

Zhang Wei scolded in a low voice, then looked at his nephew, his face turned ruthless: "No, this group of bandits is not a good thing, if you really let them come in, the people in our town will suffer, go, find two gongs to wake up the people on the street, gather the young people in the town, no matter what, you can't let the bandits come in." ”

After that, a bandit climbed up from under the wall by a ladder, Zhang Wei was quick with his hand, kicked him in front of the door, kicked him down, and then combed the patrolmen on the city tower, and led them to work together to defeat the first wave of the Black Wind Ridge bandits.

………

Taking advantage of the fact that the second wave of the bandits' offensive was still coming, Zhang Wei called his nephew Zhang Mantang and commanded in a low voice: "Although there are many bandits outside the city, I estimate that there are only a few hundred people.

But let's not be careless, the rest of the city towers should send more people to keep an eye on, once the bandit traces are found, immediately warn, I will immediately bring people to the rescue. ”

Zhang Mantang hesitated: "Won't this be too passive, in case there is a mistake, it will be too late to remedy it." ”

Zhang Wei also knew that there were many drawbacks to this method, but there were too few people he could use, and once he divided it too much, he was afraid that he would not be able to hold even a city wall, but Zhang Mantang's opinion was also reasonable.

After explaining the defense of the other three city walls, Zhang Wei asked Zhang Mantang to send people to the county seat for help.

"Send more people, not only the county seat, but also several surrounding towns, they will have hundreds of people, they can't surround our town, and there are more people sent out, even if they specifically stop it, they will specify that there will be fish that slip through the net.

This dog, the mother's Luo Biao's offensive is too fierce, relying on us to defend it ourselves, I'm afraid it won't last long, let those who report the news remember that they must invite reinforcements from the county town before dawn, otherwise thousands of people in our town will be bullied with the bandits. ”

Zhang Mantang nodded solemnly, turned around and left quickly, Zhang Wei looked at his departing figure, his expression was slightly trance, and he didn't know if he could hold until the reinforcements arrived.

At this time, shouts of killing outside the city were everywhere, and the bandits of Heifengling attacked again, Zhang Wei's face was solemn, and he picked up the big knife in his hand.

"Brothers, keep it for me."

………

Hundreds of steps away from the city of Bali Town

Luo Biao was dressed in leather armor, with a three-strand fork in his hand, and looked at the city tower that was attacked by his bandits in turn and stood tall with a serious expression.

Ye Yunfan, who was on the side, hurriedly offered advice when he saw this, saying that he would divide his troops to attack several other city walls, induce Zhang Wei to also divide his troops to resist, and then quietly gather troops to raid one place, which will definitely make him unable to take care of each other and fight down.

Luo Biao felt that this strategy was good, so he asked Ye Yunfan and another leader to lead two groups of men and horses to attack the other two city walls respectively, hoping that Zhang Wei would divide his troops to save them.

Unexpectedly, when Ye Yunfan's two groups of people went to attack the city, they happened to meet the young man in the town who had just been assigned to two city walls to garrison.

Because these young men were afraid that the bandits would invade the city and start a killing spree, they fought bravely to kill the enemy with the intention of protecting their relatives in the township, and repelled Ye Yunfan's two sides several times with a bloody spirit.

Seeing that nothing could be done, Luo Biao didn't want to waste any more time, so he recalled Ye Yunfan and his men and horses, and gathered together to storm the city wall where Zhang Wei was located.

And Zhang Wei saw that the other two city walls were guarding his heart, and the morale of his patrolmen also rose, and they firmly defended the city tower against the impact of the bandits.

The two sides attacked and defended, and the situation gradually became deadlocked.........
