Just around the corner, a heavy dark cloud suddenly obscured the moon, and the night became darker and darker, but there was a hint of restlessness in the evening breeze.

Suddenly, a shout of killing broke out in Qianfang, and hundreds of men rushed out of the darkness, each with a red belt tied to their foreheads, rushing towards the Wuchang Mansion from all directions.

It's a member of the Quadrangle! This wave of attacks was fierce enough, and there were even seven or eight men working together to carry a heavy crashing log, and the weapons in the hands of the others were also mixed and strange, and there were all kinds of weapons, like eighteen weapons taken from the martial arts hall.

There are even people who practice martial arts, they should be the elite of the Sihe Sect, but fortunately they don't have bows and arrows, and the power of the attack is greatly reduced.

The wall of the Wuchang Mansion was lit with fire, and there were swordsmen guarding the wall, holding two pairs of bows and arrows and shooting non-stop, although the archery skills were not perfect, and they also injured five or six parishioners one after another. But more of the parishioners were not afraid, screaming wildly in their mouths, with fanatical expressions on their faces, rushing to the government from all directions, setting up a bamboo ladder by the wall, throwing out the hook and rope with their hands, and struggling to climb towards the wall together.

"Everyone, kill the thief with me!"

Seeing that the Wuchang Mansion was about to be unable to support it, Wang Kefan shouted loudly and rushed forward with his recruits.

Along the way, the morale of the recruits had been boosted to the extreme, and although it was the first time they went into battle, they were extremely brave, shouting and rushing forward together, and some of them rushed so fast that the formation was a little scattered.

But the Sihe Sect was stunned by this charge, they were attacking the government with all their might, and when they were about to succeed, a heavily armed army suddenly appeared behind them, and the situation on the battlefield was immediately reversed. Several of the cultists who carried the bumping wood were the slowest to move, and the recruits of the Gongyi Battalion came to the front in a blink of an eye, and they threw down the bumper wood and ran away, and the remaining few were pressed there, grinning and unable to move.

"Kill these dog thieves!"

Shi Ah shouted loudly, and more than a dozen spears stabbed out together, blood splattered, corpses fell, and blood was seen on the tips of the recruits' guns for the first time.

The bloody aura instantly dispersed, and the recruits became even more excited, they were all simple-minded crop men, convinced that these parishioners were heinous thieves, and the spears were not soft at all.

Different from modern humanistic concepts, these Ming Dynasty peasants were very indifferent to life, and under the stimulation of mass violence, they easily crossed the psychological barrier of the first killing, and those corpses still twitching in a pool of blood became their capital to show off.

"I stabbed one to death!"

"I stabbed one to death, too!"

"Fart, that's the ...... I killed first"

Seeing that the officers and soldiers of the Gongyi battalion were so fierce, the people of the Sihe Sect whistled and scattered around, and the recruits were unable to organize an effective interception and pursuit because of their irregular formation and lack of battlefield experience, so they could only watch those parishioners disappear into the night.

In order to avoid unnecessary casualties, Wang Kefan ordered to gather the team and stop the pursuit.

The first battle was won, with 12 casualties among the Sihe Sect and zero casualties among the recruits of the Gongyi Battalion. This battle once again confirms the saying that the underworld is never an opponent of the army, even if this army has only been formed for more than a month.

Seeing the reinforcements coming, the Wuchang Mansion opened the gate and welcomed the recruits of the Gongyi Battalion in.

Wu Bing'an, the prefect of Wuchang, did not withdraw and stayed in the government, but it was not voluntary. He Tengjiao has a strict order for him, he must stick to the prefect's yamen, if he leaves his post without permission, he will be killed!

When the Sihe Sect was at its most fierce, Wu Bing'an was ready to commit suicide, and suddenly heard that the reinforcements had arrived, the thieves were gone, and the three-foot white silk was still on his shoulder, so he greeted him in a panic.

"Strong, strong! I am the army of tigers and wolves in the righteous battalion, invincible! The general has made such a miraculous feat today, and the government will definitely protect He Junmen! "His status is much higher than Wang Kefan's, and he is too excited at the moment and a little out of shape.

"The responsibility of the house, you don't have to mind. With the armor on his body, he will not be able to pay full salutes...... "Wang Kefan stepped forward to see the rules and regulations, and asked him about the reason why the Sihe Sect attacked the Wuchang Mansion.

Wu Bing'an has been hiding in the inner house, not knowing the specific situation outside, until Wang Kefan broke it out and knew that it was the Sihe Sect that caused the chaos, and said indignantly: "Speaking of the origin of this Sihe Sect, it is still the old Yang Ge who raised tigers and ...... back then."

The Yang Ge Lao in his mouth is Yang Sichang, the secretary of the military department during the Chongzhen period.

Sihejiao originated in Huguang locally, the founder's surname is Hua, more than 10 years ago was still unknown, in Yang Sichang supervised Huguang when suddenly appeared, known as Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, and the West came from the Christian and Western religion four religions in one, so called Sihejiao.

In a nutshell, whether in heaven or on earth, or in ancient and modern times, Chinese and foreign, the Sihe religion is cold and unscrupulous, worships God when it sees it, Jesus Christ and Taishang Laojun receive incense together, Confucius and Shakyamuni sit and discuss, all-encompassing, everything, to meet all the needs of believers.

This kind of opportunistic hodgepodge is a cult at first glance, and it was banned by the government as soon as it came out, but unexpectedly, the leader of the Hua Sect went through Yang Sichang's path, and the Sihe Sect turned into a legal sect, which spread in the Huguang area.

However, Huguang Wenwu knew all about the dangers of the Sihe Sect, and as soon as Yang Sichang died, he immediately designated the Sihe Sect as a cult and executed a number of backbone elements such as the leader of the Hua Sect. After being hit hard, the Sihe Sect went underground and developed without movement for nearly two years, until today, when there was a riot in the city, and it suddenly surfaced again.

Wu Bing'an explained the origin of the Sihe Sect, but he could not tell the reason why the Sihe Sect attacked the Wuchang Mansion, and Zuihou concluded that these mobs tried in vain to kill officials and avenge the death of the Flower Sect Master.

"Two years ago, the case of the Sihe Sect was tried in Wuchang Mansion, and more than 30 heads were cut off at once, these sect people must have come to take revenge!"

Wu Bing'an's eyes were straight, and he could see that he was very scared, Wang Kefan comforted him a few words, asked him to be sent into the back hall, and then arranged for the recruits of the Gongyi Battalion to take over the defense of the government.

The killing of the Sihe Sect Flower Sect Leader was two years ago, and the Wuchang prefect was just an executor, and the real decision-making was made by the chief soldier Zuo Liangyu and the then governor of Huguang. Time has passed, and the Wuchang prefect has changed a few times, and there is no reason for the Sihe Sect to suddenly attack the government, and there must be another reason.

The wave of attacks just now was very ferocious, and if it weren't for the arrival of the recruits from the Gongyi Battalion, the Wuchang Mansion would definitely have been lost. It is necessary to be careful that although the Sihe Sect was killed and retreated by the Gongyi battalion, it was very calm when it retreated, and its vitality was not injured, and it could go and return at any time.

Wang Kefan only had 200 recruits under his command, and if thousands of parishioners attacked in a big way, the outcome was still unknown. Fortunately, the Yamen of the Political Secretary is not far away, and there is Wang Sheng's sentry guarding there, and there is any danger to support each other.

There were still thirty or forty quick catchers in the palace, a few of them were wounded, except for two pairs of bows and arrows and a few knives, the rest were armed with iron rulers and water and fire sticks. Wang Kefan couldn't help but shake his head secretly, the iron ruler and the water and fire stick are both blunt weapons, which are very powerful in fighting, and it is not easy to use them to kill the enemy in battle.

Wang Kefan used them intensively and transferred them to the backyard of the guard's mansion, which was full of female dependents of the Wu Governor's Mansion, and it was more convenient for them to be guarded by the fast arresting officials.

The other areas are in charge of the recruits of the Gongyi battalion, the gate and the courtyard wall of the front yard are the first line of defense, guarded by two teams of recruits, and the three classes and six rooms in the government office, the official office, the prison department, the treasury, the prison house, etc., are all critical places, and a team of recruits is also sent to guard them separately.

Shi A Da's team of recruits was regarded as a reserve, and they stayed by Wang Kefan's side, and they could be reinforced in time no matter where they were in a hurry.

It took more than half an hour for a large circle to be arranged, and the recruits were busy preparing to turn the Wuchang Mansion into a strong fortress, unless Zuo Liangyu's regular army came to attack, the ordinary rabble could not pose a threat.

During this period, the people of the Sihe Sect did not attack again, but there were faint figures constantly shaking in the darkness, as if they were checking the movements in the palace. They have just suffered a big loss, and they have become much more cautious.

Regardless of the Sihe Sect's attack on the Yamen, it is clear that their purpose has not yet been achieved, and they will inevitably make a comeback.

To Wang Kefan's surprise, the target of the Sihe Sect's attack again was the Yamen of the Political Division!

"Bang, bang, bang! ……”

A piercing gong sounded, and an alarm suddenly came from the Yamen of the Political Secretary, followed by a burst of firelight, and there was a noisy shout of killing, listening to the movement, I am afraid that there are thousands of people!

The recruits' expressions were nervous and urgent, and they all clenched their spears and looked at Wang Kefan, waiting for him to give orders for support. Wang Kefan looked silently in the direction of the political secretary, and did not rush to give an order.

The sound of fighting became louder and louder, and from time to time there were screams, which lasted for about five minutes, and the gong suddenly sounded again!

"Bang, bang......"

The rhythm of the gong became more rapid, and Wang Kefan's expression changed. Three short and two long, this is a distress signal agreed in advance, Wang Sheng's side is in danger!

"Gentlemen, if the robe is in trouble, we should fight to save each other, who is willing to follow me to kill the enemy?!" Under the light of the torches, the cold light flashed on Wang Kefan's armor and spear.

"I, I'm willing to go!"

"I'd like to go too!"

"And me!"

……

Since the main general took the lead, all the troops stepped forward one after another, but no one was willing to fall. Wang Kefan left half of his men to guard the Wuchang Mansion and led two teams of recruits to support the Political Division.
