This is already the equivalent of facing each other, and the two sides are almost separated by the city gate and the city wall.

The Linqing soldiers in the city are at least much stronger than those waste soldiers in Qiu County, and they are still waiting in the city at this time, which is indeed a bit rare.

The garrison appointed by the imperial court had already thought very clearly, and at this time a fool would go out of the city, although there was no hope of victory, but now Shandong is not the original Shandong.

If Liu Zeqing is still the chief soldier, there is no doubt that Liu Bu will only run away when he hears the news, let alone come to the rescue, but the current chief soldier is already Wang Zheng, and Liu Zeqing died early.

The name Wang Zheng has almost reached the point where everyone knows it in Shandong, although the garrison does not know much, but he can still say with great certainty that the Dengzhou battalion will definitely come to the rescue, and it is obvious that it is the safest policy to stick to the city.

If you can successfully persist in coming to the Dengzhou camp to help, it can also be regarded as a credit.

Hearing that the Dengzhou battalion is re-appointing the generals to guard various places, this garrison can't help but feel a little hot in his heart, if he can enter the Dengzhou camp with the merit of defending the city, in all aspects, it will be much better than the imperial court that has rotted to the roots.

However, this is just wishful thinking on the part of the garrison, and Lord Zhizhou, who had just come to his senses, sent another order, asking him to lead the official army out of the city to fight a decisive battle with the thief army, and annihilate it in one fell swoop, and he must not let the thieves be arrogant.

If ordinary soldiers heard it, they would laugh and lose their big teeth, and they didn't know who was so scared just now that they almost blocked the yamen.

When the guard heard this, his face fell on the spot, he didn't say anything, but some of the family members around him muttered to themselves, this Zhizhou is afraid that he is not a fool.

Although Linqing Zhizhou pays attention to honor, he is not a clean official, in addition to the land of those big families outside the city, there are also large pieces of property under his name.

Both parties could not tolerate the damage to their own rights and interests, so they had long forgotten about the siege of the bandits, and began to discuss the decisive battle with the bandits.

Right now, there is only one thought in the mind of Lord Zhizhou of Linqing, urging, he must let these martial artists go out of the city to fight with the rogues, and their land and property cannot be taken away.

The garrison didn't see it, but it didn't take long for some big families in the city to come back with the Zhizhou's clerical orders, and they said angrily that he had to send troops.

Wengui and Wuqi, although the grade of Zhizhou is lower than that of the garrison, but the garrison has to listen to his command, and almost all major affairs inside and outside the city on weekdays are decided by Zhizhou, and in the end, there is only one way left to go out of the city and send him to death.

The Linqing soldiers who had just mustered up some courage were suddenly full of righteous indignation, and some people said that they would simply take refuge in the Fifth Battalion of Gezuo, and pull out the old man of Zhizhou from the mansion and behead him.

Although he was dissatisfied in his heart, this garrison still looked down on the rogues in his heart, following the world's strong army like the Dengzhou battalion is what men want, what are those rogues looting everywhere?

The garrison vetoed the soldiers' words with righteous words, but he was not reluctant, saying that those who did not want to leave the city could leave their swords and guns and go home, and he must take his family to fight the rogue to the death.

Although the Linqing soldiers were much stronger than ordinary officers and soldiers, they still had nothing to keep them, and if they wanted to follow this garrison to fight to the death, they couldn't do it with just a lot of blood.

Therefore, as soon as the voice of the garrison fell, the number of people decreased by thirty percent. In the end, nearly half of them walked one after another, and many people felt that even if they couldn't get over the face, it was better to fight this battle that they knew would be death.

Although the rogues outside were shouting, they did not have any heavy equipment to use to attack the city, and it was a dilemma when they suddenly saw the gate of Linqing wide open.

The Linqing soldiers ran out of the queue in a hurry, and they were able to stabilize the formation under the pressure of the family, and it seemed that they were actually going to fight a head-to-head decisive battle with the Liukou.

Lin Qingbing looked at the number of rogues on the opposite side, and his heart was sudden, although he knew that this time he was very lucky, and he also didn't want to live anymore, but he still couldn't stop trembling, which was also a natural reaction of people.

The rogues did not charge immediately, but slowed down and gradually approached under the leadership of the old battalion, which was actually more depressing than directly charging, and the faces of the soldiers in the Qing Dynasty became more and more solemn.

"Bang, bang!"

The Liukou hadn't arrived yet, and the Linqing soldiers with firearms were already eager to fire, and it was always better to make a noise at such a time.

However, this is a joke, only one of the disrepaired and shoddy firearms really went out, and the rest were blown up and injured their own people.

At this moment, at the sound of Ge Liyan's order, the rogues suddenly quickened their pace, and rushed up like a tide.

"Put! Release! Hurry up! ”

The officers in the Linqing army immediately pulled their necks and roared, this time the salvo was rough and some of the power of the big open firearms, and it knocked down dozens of rogues who rushed to the front at once.

Several Hudun cannons were not idle, and someone quickly stepped forward to put the shells in, and a loud "boom" sounded, and two Hudun cannons were directly exploded, and stump fragments flew everywhere, injuring more than a dozen surrounding soldiers by the way.

However, there were still a few lead bullets whistling out, and the disadvantage of the large number of rogues was here, the formation was too dense, and no matter where the Tiger Cannon and the rest of the firearms were placed, they could always kill a group of people.

There were several screams, and the flesh and blood in the rogue were blurred, but this kind of damage could not shake anything at all, and gradually rushed closer.

In this case, the Linqing soldiers didn't care about that much, they were panicked, but everything that could be put was launched towards the opposite side.

For a while, there was a roar in front of the battle, and the smoke of gunpowder was filled, but the range and power of these firearms were very limited.

"Brothers, kill me, kill the dogs!"

The array of the Liukou and the Linqing soldiers suddenly collided together, and in an instant, the meat was flying sideways, and the screams and the sounds of fighting were intertwined, although the Linqing soldiers were inferior in numbers, but relying on the location of the moat, they could barely maintain their collapse.

If you generally say it, the eighteen weapons in the hands of the rogues are obviously inferior to the spears and waist knives of the Linqing soldiers.

This is not because the combat effectiveness of the Linqing soldiers is very high, but the combat effectiveness of these people who came up is too weak, and in the eyes of the rogues of the Fifth Battalion of the Revolution, they are just cannon fodder used to charge into battle.

He Yilong, who has always been called "benevolence and righteousness", stood firmly on the river bank with the old battalion at this time, turning a blind eye to the casualties of his brothers, and even showing some smiles on his face.

Ge Liyan suddenly looked up at Linqing City, just in time to see Zhizhou and a group of gentry ascending the city, and immediately spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm coldly.

When the governor and the big households heard the shouts and killings outside the city, they knew that the battle had begun, and they ran out of the mansion in a hurry, and took the people and their families to the city to watch the battle.

Watching the battle was only because they were worried about the fields and assets outside, and it was impossible to say that they would go out of the city to help, in fact, they had already prepared their carriages and horses to slip away at any time.

The garrison led the family members to the front, in fact, the real elite of the Ming army was these private family members.

If these people don't have some real fists and feet, the generals will not waste money to support, and the money is also worth it, and most of the family members can follow the Lord to fight to the death when they are in a critical situation.

At first, the family members continued to kill and injure the rogues with their geographical advantages and equipment, but they were also human beings, and they would get tired after a long time, but the rogues still rushed up in a steady stream.

Soon, some of the family members ran out of strength and were caught flawed, and the rogues frantically rushed up and hacked him to death.

The Linqing garrison fought in the front line with a machete in person, and the number of rogues who died in his hands was already in double digits, and he also knew that when the family was almost consumed, this battle would be over.
