Xiangzi is discussing with County Magistrate Liu whether to dress uniformly for the security team.

County Magistrate Liu believes that no matter how tight the funds are, these are not bad, so he pulls the team out like this, so that people can see that the army is not a soldier, and the bandits are not bandits, and it does not look like a show.

Xiangzi just thinks more about actual combat, and he doesn't care about his dress.

The two were muttering back and forth, and Secretary Jia walked in excitedly, grinning and saying, "The matter of clothing has a problem."

Lin Tailor of Dongguan used to make a batch of military uniforms for Commander You.

Back then, Regiment Commander You was in a hurry, and there were dozens of sets of military uniforms, so he didn't care about taking them away, so he kept pressing them in the warehouse.

This time, I heard that a security corps was going to be set up, so I was interested in using it. The first came to me and said he was willing to donate. ”

When County Magistrate Liu heard this, he was so excited that he slapped the table and said, "Great! What do you really want to do? ”

After a pause, Chong Xiangzi said eagerly: "Come quickly, let people get it back, change it for the team, and give me a long face, is Lai Hao also a team in the county." ”

Shoko grinned at him and said, "I'll arrange it." ”

Today is the auspicious day of the zodiac when County Magistrate Liu chooses to send troops.

The team changed into a uniform uniform, and it looked much more neat.

In addition to the military uniform, Xiangzi has a black gold velvet on his body, lined with green satin, and a cloak with two black streamers hanging on his chest, which looks even more imposing.

This cloak is the one that Shuzhen recalls and the one that Commander Ga often wears.

Shuzhen didn't wear a military uniform, she was still dressed up as she was back then, but she looked even more heroic and different.

The two stood at the front of the team, just like a pair of golden boys and girls. can't help but remind people of Yang Zongbao and Mu Guiying who are ready to go in the play. attracted onlookers and let out bursts of praise of "tsk".

County Magistrate Liu, together with the county officials and representatives of the squire, solemnly inspected the team.

After a few words of blessing and encouragement, the team drove out of the north gate in a roaring salute.

Because the bandits have adopted the method of committing crimes in small groups and transferring them in a centralized manner. Therefore, Xiangzi was not in a hurry to engage in a head-to-head confrontation with the bandits, but gradually gathered a small group of bandits, and then surrounded and annihilated them.

So, he pressed his speed and slowly headed north.

In addition to the 32 fighters, there were 10 logisticians responsible for transporting supplies, three wagons and two camels.

In addition to ammunition to eat and drink, there were two barrels* and three barrels of tung oil in the car.

Shoko asked the members of the team to prepare enough dry food for three days each, just in case the team was broken up for emergency purposes.

As soon as noon came, the team drove into the back fort.

The village chiefs and wealthy households there had already received a notice from the county, slaughtered cattle and sheep, prepared a banquet, and welcomed the arrival of the team.

Seeing that people were so enthusiastic, Xiangzi beckoned the team to eat a full meal, and the wine was limited to two glasses. After the meal, the team continued towards the broken city.

In 702 AD, in order to further consolidate the northwest frontier, Wu Zetian established the Beiting Protectorate (now the broken city of Jimsar County) in Tingzhou.

It is used to govern a vast area north of the Tien Shan Mountains, including the Altai Mountains and west of Lake Balkhash.

After the establishment of the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate, it brought thousands of miles of social stability, agriculture, animal husbandry, commerce and handicrafts to an unprecedented development, and once became the center of the northwest region.

Later, after historical changes, wars and turmoil, when it came to the Republic of China, the political and military important places in the past only left some mythical legends for future generations. Later generations also named it after its appearance, calling it "broken city." ”

As soon as the team stepped into the broken city, they saw more than a dozen men, women, and children, crying and walking down from the earthen beam in the east.

It looks like he's just buried the dead and come back. At the fork in the road, just in time to meet the team.

I saw an old man walking in front, glanced at the team suspiciously, was ignorant for a moment, and then, as if he suddenly remembered something, he rushed to Xiangzi's horse and said with a crying voice: "You are the team that fights the bandits, right?" ”

Xiangzi smiled gently at him, bowed down and said, "Yes, uncle, what's the matter?" ”

When the old man heard this, he burst into tears. Crying and choking, he shouted: "God, I finally hope for you." The gang of bandits who were cut a thousand knives robbed Zhuangzi's livestock and grain at noon, and they killed my grandson. ”

As soon as the words fell, the crowd burst into tears.

It turned out that after breakfast today, the people in the village were preparing to work in the field.

Suddenly, the doll who was sent to herd the sheep ran back in a panic and said that a group of Ha people, robbing the sheep in the village, were coming up to the village. When everyone heard this, they panicked. Because, recently, I heard that the bandits not only rob livestock, but also kill people if they don't get it right. A few days ago, several people died in Wang Zhuang.

After a period of tense commotion, the old man in the village beckoned everyone to squeeze into the vegetable cellar more than one person deep to take refuge.

Seven or eight bandits tossed around the village for a while, took out a few bags of grain, and drove away the only two cows in the village.

The next two bandits looked around unwillingly and refused to leave.

The sound of two pairs of "crunching" leather boots rattled near the vegetable cellar.

The people in the cellar were so nervous that they didn't even dare to come out. But at this moment, the old man's little grandson, who had just reached the full moon, suddenly cried "wow".

The footsteps overhead seemed to be jumbled. Everyone was so anxious that their hearts were about to jump out of their throats.

The child's mother had no choice but to tear open the placket of her clothes without shying away and stuff the bulging nipples into the child's mouth.

Maybe it's because the air in the cellar is too musty, or because people are too nervous and afraid, and the children are infected.

Although he had * in his mouth, he still struggled and cried. In a hurry, the child's mother had no choice but to ruthlessly put the child's face tightly on *. The cellar was silent, except for the chaotic heartbeats of people.

After a long time, the footsteps above my head finally faded away.

When the child's mother woke up like a dream and let go of the child's head, the originally white and tender little face had turned bruised, and there was no trace of heat in the nostrils.

The child's mother screamed and shook like crazy, but the child's body was slowly cold.

It was this young life that saved more than a dozen clansmen from a catastrophe.

Xiangzi dismounted and appeased, and said sincerely and indignantly: "Let's mourn! I will definitely exterminate this gang of bandits and give you an explanation. ”

With that, he got on his horse and continued on his way.

Out of the broken city, in front of you is an endless alkali desert.

Shoko asked three teams of men to search separately and advance, each team was 500 to 1,000 meters apart.

If you find that the target should not act rashly, you will immediately send someone to report the situation, follow and follow it, and wait for the order to take action.

Zhao Youtian led the team to the left, the big man and the small ancient city to the right, and Xiangzi and Shuzhen followed Zhao Xiaotian to the middle.
