Chapter 467: The Rebel Army Attacks the City

Wang Shuangxi reversed, not only did he rebel, but also took a total of four landlords in Huaiyuan County.

At noon that day, Mei Pingdong and the others had just gotten the news that there was already a rebellion of hundreds of people outside the city!

At the head of the city, Mei Pingdong looked at the hundreds of rebels outside the city, and he was already flustered, both of them were Feng Laoliu, the director of the patrol police bureau on the side, and Fang Dongzhi, the battalion commander of the robbery hunting battalion, were both from military backgrounds, and they were still very calm at this time.

Looking at Mei Pingdong's flustered demeanor, Fang Dongzhi showed disdain, and immediately said loudly: "Everyone don't have to worry, there is my thief hunting camp in this Huaiyuan County, and it will definitely be safe, not to mention that I have already informed the nineteenth garrison camp of the dock outside the city, and they will be able to kill them soon!" In front of me, hundreds of young people rebelled, and they were vulnerable in front of the army! ”

Seeing Fang Dongzhi's confident appearance, Mei Pingdong was slightly relieved, but he still couldn't help but continue to ask: "Then when will they come?" ”

It's not that Mei Pingdong is timid, but he knows that the defense force in Huaiyuan County is really not very good!

Although Huaiyuan County has received the attention of the military, they are more concerned about the wharf and river defense outside the city, and as for Huaiyuan County itself, it is handed over to the local thief capture camp to garrison.

According to the convention, if there is a thief battalion stationed, as long as this Huaiyuan County is not attacked by thousands of troops, it can also ensure safety.

However, the robbery battalion in Huaiyuan County was established only a few days ago, and there were only more than 100 recruits recruited, and they had not been trained for a few days.

If the 19th Garrison Battalion in the direction of the west pier of the city comes late, then their Huaiyuan County will be in danger!

Just when Mei Pingdong was extremely worried, Wang Shuangxi outside the city also frowned and looked at Huaiyuan County.

This rebellion, to be honest, he had never thought about it before, let alone done it, and the other people present were also like him, they were all novices to the rebellion, and they had no experience to do it.

Although I started to prepare last night, it wasn't until noon today that I gathered people and horses to kill under Huaiyuan County.

But what to do when you get to Huaiyuan County? But they don't know.

When they arrived in Huaiyuan County, they knew that they were going to attack the city, but how to attack the city?

They are just a group of landlords, commanding the young and strong to fight, which they are good at, but let them attack the city seriously, which is a bit reluctant.

As for what to do after conquering Huaiyuan County, to be honest, Wang Shuangxi himself only vaguely said that when the time comes, the imperial army will definitely come.

As for whether the imperial army on the other side of Liuzhou will kill it, the devil knows!

How to attack the city? After a while of discussion, several old men outside the city said that there was a patrol among the people who could take on a big task, and finally everyone hurriedly invited this inspection and promised it.

This Ming Dynasty inspector accepted the important task and began to command a group of young men to prepare for the siege.

This inspection has obviously seen the market, and the first thing is to ask the young people to prepare a long ladder, and then start to form a queue!

Seeing that the rebel army outside the city was already prepared, Mei Pingdong was even more panicked, and hurriedly asked: "Do this, the rebel army outside the city has already begun to prepare to attack the city, when will the garrison come?" ”

Fang Dongzhi glanced at him, and then said: "Master Mei, don't worry, Major Chen of the 13th Garrison Battalion also knows him, and he is a person who knows the severity, I'm afraid he is already on his way at this time!" ”

When he said this, Fang Dongzhi was full of confidence, but everyone didn't see it, his calves were already starting to tremble!

How could he, the more than 100 recruits, the soldiers of the robbery battalion who had not even been trained, be able to stop the six or seven hundred rebels outside the city!

Just Fang Dongzhi and Mei Pingdong in Huaiyuan County were worried that in a barracks on the wharf west of the city, a bald man about thirty years old was wearing a military uniform and asked the soldiers around him: "What's going on?" Yesterday was fine, why did the rebel army come over today? ”

The soldier next to him handed him his boots and said: "I don't know the specific small ones, I heard from the people who reported that it was the Wang family and several other landlords outside the city who gathered six or seven hundred rebel troops to attack the city, and also raised the name of the pseudo-Ming Huaiyuan righteous division, and now they are preparing to attack the city!" ”

"They're going to attack the city now? Aren't they afraid that we will kill him now and give him a flanking attack? After the bald man put on his boots, he took the belt from his own soldiers, and after tying it, he put on a military cap himself.

The style of this military cap is the standard of an officer's small wide-brimmed round hat, similar to the hat used by ordinary soldiers!

Yes, at present, in the troops of the Tang Army, ordinary soldiers use hats with wide dome rims every day, why? Save money!

Only in battle will heavily armored units be replaced with steel helmets, but those that do not wear armor, such as pikemen, musketeers, archers, artillerymen, etc., still wear hats!

This hat is good, there is no need to use precious cloth or leather, it can be woven with bamboo that can be seen everywhere, and there are no technical requirements, it can completely mobilize the civil power to weave, the cost is very low compared with the cloth hat.

Not only the hat, but also the bamboo was used in many aspects of the Tang Dynasty in time, for example, a large number of bamboo baskets were used in the logistics troops to replace sacks to carry a large number of baggage!

Why, sacks also cost money!

Even in the training of the army, bamboo is often used, such as bamboo instead of spears, bamboo knives instead of waist knives, etc., occasionally when the armament is tight, you will also see some troops directly use bamboo spears instead of heartless wood spears.

However, this situation generally does not occur, because most of the standard spears used by the Tang Dynasty were captured from the Ming army, as long as they continue to defeat the Ming army, the captured various cold weapons and equipment are enough for the current use of the Tang Dynasty.

Although the hats of these officers are bowled and wide-brimmed hats like those of soldiers, they are made of fabric, which is naturally more desirable in terms of quality.

However, this is also used when going outdoors or on the battlefield, and not many people use this kind of hat in daily life and indoors.

Many of the officers wore similar caps to those of civilian officials, and some simply wrapped their heads with strips of cloth, which was especially prevalent among soldiers.

Because of wrapping the head with strips of cloth, on the one hand, you can bind the long three thousand green silk, and on the other hand, it will be more convenient and comfortable to wear a helmet or hat on the battlefield!

After putting on his hat, the bald man walked out, and was greeted by a captain hurrying forward: "Tell the battalion commander, the whole battalion has been assembled!" ”

The bald man said: "Well, the fifth team stays to guard the dock, and the other three teams follow the official to destroy the thieves!" ”

Although he was going to quell the rebellion, the bald man still did not forget the safety of his hometown, the west wharf of the city is an important transit station of the logistics department of the Privy Council of the Tang Dynasty, and a large number of various materials transported from Xingquan Mansion and Liping Mansion are piled up in the warehouse of this wharf, and then loaded onto ships in batches, transported to the front line through the Liujiang River, and then accepted by the troops after arriving at the front line, and delivered to the logistics troops of the front-line troops.

The logistics troops will then be armed to escort these supplies to the front line!

During the whole process, most of the distance was handled by the Logistics Department of the Privy Council, so although the Logistics Department did not seem to have any armed forces directly under its jurisdiction, it was in charge of at least tens of thousands of people, and these people were also turned into several transport groups.

As for the escort tasks along the way, the troops were naturally responsible, and the Fifth Infantry Regiment and the Seventh Garrison Regiment were responsible for the Guizhou Territory, and after entering Guangxi, the Southbound Detachment composed of the First Infantry Brigade and the Third Garrison Brigade was responsible.

When it reached Huaiyuan County and the distance north of Huaiyuan County and then to Rong County, it was handed over to the 19th Garrison Battalion.

The supply and escort of materials in this kind of theater south of Rongxian County was the responsibility of the Second Baggage Regiment directly under the Southern Front Detachment.

That is to say, the task of the 19th garrison battalion is not actually to quell the rebellion, but to maintain the transportation and supply lines of the army.

Therefore, the strength of three teams is also the limit.

After the bald man gathered his troops and set off, it didn't take long for him to be discovered by Wang Shuangxi and others outside the city!

"Why did they come so quickly, didn't they just say that there are still five miles away, why are they here now!" Wang Shuangxi exclaimed at this time!

"What's the matter, can you still attack the city, if you don't attack the city, I'm afraid it's too late!"

"How can we attack the city now, the army of the puppet Tang thief army has already been killed, and it will be too late if we don't leave!"

'What, that bastard has already run away, so bold, I'm going to cut him with a thousand knives when I turn around, and we'll go too! ”

At this time, these chaotic armies outside the field have not yet begun to attack the city, but after seeing hundreds of pseudo-Tang thief armies appear in the west of the city, they can still sit there, and those pseudo-Tang thief armies are still hundreds of meters away, and there are already people running away one after another.

And more and more people are running!

In the end, Wang Shuangxi looked at the more than 100 people left around him, and couldn't help sighing: "These bastards, all of them are wall grass?" ”

"Aren't we going back?"

Wang Shuangxi shook his head: "We won't go back!" ”

They can get there, and even if they do, do they want their family business? Want? Can those pseudo-Tang thieves still be left with them?

If they don't run, when the pseudo-Tang thief army kills their door, will they still be alive?

Joke!

He Wang Shuangxi himself didn't believe it!

So he said, "Let's go to the south, and only when we go to the south can we live!" ”
