When he said this, Wang Zheng noticed that a group of civil servants, including Dong Chengping of Zhizhou and Liu Wenruo, the same governor of the state, were secretly wiping cold sweat, and some of them were pale, their lips trembled uncontrollably, and their bodies trembled like chaff.

The wave of attacks by the bandits was very fierce, and if Wang Zheng hadn't arrived in time with the recruits from the Wendeng battalion, the Ninghai Prefecture Division Yamen would have been lost.

The state department yamen is a symbol of the state city, once it is lost, it will show the real fall of Ninghai Prefecture, on the contrary, it shows that there is still a glimmer of life.

Although the water bandits have been temporarily repelled now, it is still not the time to be careless, and it is necessary to take advantage of the chaos to contact the remaining officers and soldiers in the city to recapture the city, otherwise the water bandits will definitely find out the real situation and may go and return at any time.

At that time, the water bandits and homeless people stopped the counterattack, and the victory or defeat was not yet known with the two hundred or so recruits brought by Wang Zheng to face the hordes of water bandits.

In addition to these scribes, there were dozens of servants in the state department, and at this time there were already more than a dozen of them, which is said to be caused by the delay in withdrawing in.

It's just that these people can't play a role, they mostly use iron rulers and wooden sticks as weapons, and they don't have armor on their bodies, this kind of blunt weapon is usually used to scare the people and is quite effective, but at this time taking it to the battlefield is tantamount to looking for death.

Wang Zheng relieved a few words, and didn't say much, just asked these people to guard the backyard and arrange for the recruits of the Wendeng Battalion to take over the defense of the state department yamen.

Although the state secretary yamen sparrow is small, it has all the organs, three shifts and six rooms are complete, and the officials' rooms, the wardens' rooms, and the officials' offices are all important places, but now Wang Zheng can't divide more troops, and it is also a difficult situation to let these family servants go to guard.

In Wang Zheng's view, the most important thing now is to recapture the state city, but the state department yamen can't be ignored, so Wang Zheng ordered Huang Yang to bring two teams and about 100 recruits to defend the state department yamen.

He took Dong Youyin, Deng Heizi and the rest of the two teams to garrison the mansion, if the officers and soldiers were still resisting, it was undoubtedly the greatest possibility.

Seeing that Wang Zheng was about to leave, Liu Wenruo, who knew the same thing, stepped forward tremblingly and said, "Sentinel... The king's sentry stays. ”

But Wang Zheng didn't pay attention to Liu Wenruo, now is the time to race against time, one more delay, the greater the possibility of the water bandits coming back, just take care of themselves and take the recruits out of the yamen.

Huang Yang was ordered to be in danger, so he naturally knew the current dangerous situation, and he didn't talk nonsense with Liu Wenruo.

Under the frightened eyes of the scribes, he led two groups of recruits to and fro, carrying planks and anything useful, and set up a simple line of defense in the front yard and at the gate.

The garrison Han Dahu was in a hurry in the mansion at the moment, and Wu Weizhong brought him good news, the bandits and homeless people who were attacking the mansion had withdrawn, which made Han Dahu feel shocked and very happy.

Later, I heard that Wang Zheng arrived with reinforcements, and heard Wu Weizhong's words of praise for Wang Zheng, Han Dahu became more curious about Wang Zheng, and personally led people out of the mansion to greet him.

"Wang Zheng! I thought you had escaped! ”

Gao Shan laughed and patted Wang Zheng's shoulder, and the two hugged each other tightly like a pair of good brothers who hadn't seen each other for many years.

Wu Weizhong looked at Wang Zheng with a smile and said, "Wang Zheng, it's good for you to come back, this is the Shourong of Benzhou." ”

Following Wu Weizhong's eyes, Wang Zheng really saw the garrison officer Han Dahu, as his name suggests, Han Dahu was born rough and arrogant, about the same size as Gao Shan and Dong Youyin, with thick calluses on his hands, and he was a man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist.

Han Dahu's face was anxious, he didn't care about greetings, and asked straight to the point: "You are the Wang dispute that Wu Xietai often mentioned with Ben Shourong, what happened to the state department yamen, but it has fallen?" ”

"Not yet, the lowly arrived in time and repelled the water bandits!"

Han Dahu nodded, obviously relieved.

"Hahaha, it's good that the state secretary yamen is saved, otherwise it will be a felony for you to defend the army!"

"Shou Rong, how many officers and soldiers are there in the city that can be summoned now?"

Hearing Wang Zheng's question, Han Dahu pondered for a while and said: "In addition to the garrison army in the mansion, there are also thousands of reinforcements from Dengzhou scattered throughout the city, and in addition, there are nearly 1,000 sharp soldiers in the Wendeng battalion, so it is not a problem to gather 10,000 people!" ”

Wang Zheng nodded, hugged his fists and said: "Shou Rong, now the water bandits are fleeing in chaos, and the foundation in the city is not stable, it is a good time to recapture the state city in one fell swoop, and I am willing to lead the recruits of the headquarters to take the lead and go into battle to kill the bandits!" ”

Han Dahu's heart was surging when Wang Zheng said, and he slapped his leg and shouted: "Okay! Ben Shourong had heard it a few years ago, Grandpa Qi said that Wendeng Camp was an important town in the east of Qi, and now it seems that Wendeng Camp is worthy of this name! ”

Wu Weizhong also laughed and said, "Shourong praised." ”

Speaking of which, Wu Weizhong, the camp officer of the Wendeng battalion, is a staff general, and the general affairs of the border defense and coastal defense of the Jiaodong guards are one level higher than that of Han Dahu, the garrison of Ninghaizhou, but Han Dahu is the garrison officer of Zhili Prefecture, and his authority is not small, and the two can no longer talk about the subordinate relationship, but only use honorific titles to show respect to each other.

Wang Zheng was able to exterminate thousands of water bandits with only 200 people, and at first they all thought that the water bandits were soft persimmons, but unexpectedly, there was a fiasco in Jinshuihe, and thousands of officers and soldiers scattered and fled.

Han Dahu and the others all comprehended the power of the water bandits, and they invisibly admired Wang Zheng even more, not to mention that everyone could see it.

The recruits who followed Wang Zheng all had bloody skulls hanging around their waists, and they all straightened their waists when they stood, all of them were full of sharpness, where are these recruits, they are clearly about a hundred or so family members.

This time back and forth, even the garrison officer Han Dahu no longer regarded Wang Zheng as an ordinary sentinel, and attached great importance to Wang Zheng's opinion.

When Wang Zheng said categorically, Han Dahu and Wu Weizhong glanced at each other, and when they saw Wu Weizhong nodding, they gritted their teeth and gave an order.

The garrison mansion and the state department yamen have not fallen, which also gives hope to the remaining officers and soldiers in the city, and the officers and soldiers who followed Han Dahu gradually gathered into several thousand.

These remnants of the defeated army are best at fighting a good fight, at this time they all appear to be particularly brave, the bandits panicked, and even more convinced of the arrival of reinforcements from officers and soldiers, and were soon driven out of the city.

......

Turning over the mountain bag, the eyes of the fleeing water bandits and the chaotic people suddenly opened up, and the white strips in the waves were waiting here with the capable water bandits.

From the mountain bag, the city of Ninghai Prefecture was full of wolf smoke, the two doors were opened, and they were about to be captured by themselves, and what Baitiao was waiting for now was the news that the yamen of the state department and the garrison mansion were seized.

But what he was waiting for was a rout of soldiers, and when he gave an order, the sword flashed and the blood flashed.

Langli Baitiao didn't even ask why he was defeated, and directly ordered the military team to step forward to block it by force, so that he could stabilize his position.

The good times didn't last long, and a bigger group of routs came over, and this rout was all water bandits from various water villages, and the white strips in the waves had to give them face, so it was not good to start directly.

After hesitating for a while, the military law team was directly dispersed by the rout, and the waves of white stripes understood what the rout was shouting.

"There is an ambush, there is an ambush in the city!"

"Reinforcements are here, run!"

At that moment, Bai Tiao's face was also full of consternation, and the corners of his mouth twitched when he saw the officers and soldiers who had already been killed at the city gate.

"Where are the reinforcements, haven't we already killed thousands of reinforcements from Dengzhou, how can there still be!?"
