But what Liu Wenxue didn't expect was that the people in the city shouted in unison, "Kou Dutou, don't open the city gate." "These people still remember the law and order in Yongcheng two months ago. At that time, the emperor himself was in Yingtianfu, but the chaos and bandits in the four townships emerged in an endless stream, making the people of Yongcheng miserable. Now that a good day has passed, the army of the heavenly court is here again.

But this time, the people of Yongcheng didn't want to go against the grain. Because they have their own army. Looking at the meaning of Kou Dutou, it is clear that he does not take the imperial army in his eyes, since this is the case, of course they will stand on the side of the Protector Army. These are all the sons and daughters of the people of Yingtian.

Liu Wenxue saw that the people didn't follow his wishes, his face sank, and he was about to get angry, but he saw Kou Cheng coming over with a big gun. Liu Wenxue was startled, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Kou Dutou, I have something to say." There's something to say. ”

Kou Cheng stretched out one hand, grabbed Liu Wenxue's belt, and lifted Liu Wenxue up. said loudly, "Yue Tuanlian and Huang Zhifu are really good. Many scholars only have high-ranking officials in their minds, and they don't care about the lives of the people at all. Liu Wenxue, you are just a fallen talent, the people of Yongcheng elected you as the county commander, so that you can protect them, not let you betray them. Unexpectedly, you are not grateful, but want to sacrifice the people of the whole city to the rebellious army. What are you guilty of? ”

Liu Wenxue danced in the air, for fear that Kou Chengyi would let go and throw him down the city. So I didn't hear what Kou Cheng said at all. However, Liu Bao laughed and said, "Kou Dutou's words are ridiculous. I am the deputy commander of the former army of the imperial camp, and the emperor is in the army, how can it be a chaotic army? ”

Kou Cheng snorted at the city, "In Lao Tzu's opinion, as long as it harms the people, it is a chaotic army." It doesn't matter if you are the emperor's pro-army or the emperor is not pro-army. Don't talk nonsense, Liu Bao, if you have a kind of you, you will attack the city. Lao Tzu wants to see what other abilities your imperial camp has in addition to harming the people? ”

After saying this, Kou Chengcai put Liu Wenxue down, ordered him to be stripped of his official uniform, and then escorted him down the city. I plan to wait for this battle to pass, and then escort him to Ying Tianfu for disposal.

Liu Bao was furious by Kou Cheng. But this man did have some ability, and he was not burned by the anger, and ordered the cavalry to go and attack the city. Although the city walls of Yongcheng County are not high, it is not something that can be captured by 2,000 cavalry. Only wait for Zhang Jun's 7,000 infantry army to arrive before attacking.

Liu Bao asked a thousand cavalry to guard the gate of Yongxian County, and then ordered another 1,000 cavalry to go to Sixiang to plunder. When assigning tasks, Liu Bao also deliberately let Kou Cheng hear it. "The people here are all from the bandits, and they will be killed."

More than a dozen sab-raising imperial cavalry roared away under Kou Cheng's nose, but Kou Cheng could only watch and there was nothing he could do. He only had five hundred infantry and dozens of cavalry, and he could not open the city to meet the enemy under any circumstances.

Smoke began to rise in the distance, and it was clear that the Imperial Cavalry was setting fires. After all, some villages are too small, and the defenses are too rudimentary to withstand the attacks of these cavalry.

Kou Cheng smashed his fist on the long green brick at the head of the city, and the fist broke, and he didn't realize it. He pointed to Liu Bao, who was proud under the city, and scolded with his halberd finger, "Liu Bao dog thief, I swear to kill you." ”

Liu Bao laughed, danced a knife flower with the long knife in his hand, and then bent his fingers and said, "Come on, Kou Dutou." Since it is called the People's Protector Army, it must have the ability to protect the people of the Quartet. I don't have the ability to surrender as soon as possible. ”

Liu Bao's cavalry was killed in Yongcheng at noon. In Liu Bao's opinion, if Ying Tianfu wants to react, it will be at least until tomorrow. Reinforcements will arrive at least the day after tomorrow. Two days was enough time for Liu Bao to sweep the villages and towns of Yongcheng.

Strictly speaking, there is nothing wrong with Liu Bao's calculations. But he forgot that the system of Ying Tianfu at this time was not the system of the local government of the Song Dynasty in the past. In addition to the people's protection army, the militia of all villages and townships also have basic military training.

The people's guards who had gone to Yingtian and nearby counties to report the news were still running wildly on the road, and the militia had begun to gather in various villages in Yongxian County. The people of the small villages began to move to the larger villages and towns. The remaining young men formed a force and fought with the imperial cavalry.

Of course, they would not have confronted the Imperial Cavalry on the plains, in which case the poorly equipped townsmen would be sent to their deaths. The soldiers of the Protector Army sent to the villages to teach and train told these villagers more than once that when they met cavalry, it was best to run as long as they could, and if they couldn't, they would fight the cavalry in the village. Houses and streets slow down the cavalry.

Looking at the smoke rising from all directions, Liu Bao was proud, Kou Cheng was angry, but the imperial cavalry who was setting fire was even more angry. They entered the village, and instead of seeing the panicked villagers, their own people were always attacked inexplicably, and they fell under their horses one by one. Those village warriors with weapons in their hands, relying on their familiarity with the terrain, used houses, trees, and street corners to launch attacks on these imperial cavalry troops again and again.

The leader of the cavalry was so angry that he ordered a fire. After the entire village was burned, Xiang Yong had no choice but to evacuate the village. But they did not run along the main road at all, but along the ditches and woods, to reduce the might of the cavalry as much as possible. When they run to another small village, the villagers of the two villages will join forces and continue to fight with this cavalry.

Liu Bao divided the 1,000 cavalry army into more than a dozen units, and there were only seventy or eighty people per road. In the face of the resolute resistance of the villagers, they could not take advantage at all. When the enraged Imperial Cavalry began to unite and prepare to attack a stockade, the rest of the countryside was virtually preserved.

These imperial cavalry troops were preparing to attack a large village near Yongcheng, Wangjiazhai. Wang Tianbao, the owner of Wangjiazhai, was a petty officer in the border army of the Great Song Dynasty, and later quit the army and became a smuggler. After accumulating a little furniture, he returned to his hometown and became the owner of the village. The son named Wang Gang has just turned fifteen years old this year, and he is already a well-known young village master in Wangjiazhai.

Looking at the nearly 1,000 cavalry troops densely packed outside Wangjiazhai, Wang Tianbao was not in a hurry, and ordered the villagers to defend to the death. In his opinion, these cavalry soldiers looked scary, but as long as Wangjiazhai did not open the door and surrendered, they wanted to take Wangjiazhai within a day, which was wishful thinking. As long as you can't take it for a day, the reinforcements of the Protector Army will be killed. Wang Tianbao was extremely confident in the combat effectiveness of the Protector Army.

However, Wang Gang, the owner of the young village, did not agree with his father's opinion. Wang Gang pointed to the imperial cavalry outside the stockade and said contemptuously, "Father, according to my son, these cavalry are false. They didn't expect us to attack. It's better to let your son take thirty villagers to assault. ”

Wang Tianbao glared at Wang Gang and said dissatisfiedly, "Gang'er, you are too bold. There were only thirty cavalrymen in our village. You want to use thirty cavalry to fight against thousands of cavalry, purely looking for death. You think you're Yue Tuan's training envoy. ”

Wang Gang admires Yue Fei very much, and his biggest goal in this life is to be a general like Yue Tuan's training envoy. Because he was still young, he couldn't join the Protector Army, so he could only practice martial arts at home. He was born with divine power, and his force value had already surpassed that of his father several times. At this moment, seeing that his father despised him, he couldn't help but say angrily, "Father, look at it, I'll come when I go." ”

Under the gaze of Wang Jiazhai Xiangyong, Wang Gang rode his war horse, held a long knife, opened the gate of the village, and led thirty Xiangyong to kill them. Wang Gang, the future deputy commander of the Beiwei Army and the most adept at assault in the Yue family's army, completed his first battlefield show under the gaze of his father Wang Tianbao.

As Wang Gang said, the imperial cavalry did not expect that the people of Wangjiazhai would dare to open the gate of the village and counterattack. Caught off guard, he was rushed into the formation by Wang Gang.

Don't look at Wang Gang, who is only fifteen years old, but a long knife in his hand weighs more than fifty pounds. At this time, he entered the cavalry, and there was almost no enemy in front of him. Thirty villagers saw that the young village master was so brave, and the army's heart was greatly boosted, and they followed Wang Gang closely, and with Wang Gang as the tip of the cone, they directly chiseled through the imperial cavalry.

It is said that these thirty Xiangyong, named Xiangyong, are actually heroes, and they all follow Wang Gang to practice martial arts, and they can all be ten with one.

The two leaders of the Imperial Cavalry were too far forward and had already been chopped under the horse by Wang Gang. For a while, the group of dragons was leaderless, and they were caught off guard by thirty townspeople. When the other leaders gathered their men and tried to encircle and annihilate Wang Gang, Wang Gang could always inadvertently find the weakness of the imperial cavalry, and decisively kill in and out before they were encircled.

Therefore, although it was more than 1,000 people against 30 people, Wang Gang formed a one-on-one situation locally. Wang Tianbao on the stockade looked at Wang Gang galloping among the imperial cavalry, and shouted excitedly, "The ancestors have spirits, and my Wang family has a descendant." ”

Wang Tianbao was not idle in the village, he would order Xiang Yong to open the gate of the village, as if he wanted the whole army to assault, and then he ordered Xiang Yong to shout together, so that the imperial cavalry was always uncertain, for fear that the people in the village would also be killed.

Wang Gang was killed from the imperial cavalry, and only thirteen of the thirty townsmen who followed behind him. When they returned to the stockade, everyone cheered. With only thirty townsmen, he was able to kill seven in and seven out of nearly a thousand cavalry troops, and Zhao Zilong was just like that. But Wang Gang, the master of Shaozhai, is only fifteen years old, much more powerful than Changshan Zhao Zilong.

Wang Gang's head and face were covered with blood, and the white horse under his crotch also became a red horse, but after washing it with water, he found that he was not injured at all. Wang Gang looked at his father and said proudly, "Father, what's the matter, your son didn't lose your people, right?"

Wang Tianbao raised his slap, as if he was going to hit Wang Gang, but in the end, it landed lightly on Wang Gang's shoulder. Wang Tianbao sighed and said, "My son is the Great Song Dynasty Zhao Zilong. Wang Gang laughed.

After resting, Wang Gang took thirteen villagers around the back of the stockade, and then quietly killed out from behind the imperial cavalry. When Wang Gang came out again, there was no shortage of thirteen villagers.

At this time, it was the imperial cavalry that was killed by Wang Gang and was afraid, and led the cavalry to withdraw. Wang Gang was naturally bold, and even led thirteen cavalry behind the imperial cavalry. From time to time, he rode in alone, killed a few and then retreated.

And the villages along the way saw Wang Gang so brave, and they were immediately emboldened, and they also sent out the brave people in the village to follow Wang Gang to chase and kill the imperial cavalry. As a result, when the imperial cavalry withdrew to the city, Wang Gang's ranks expanded to several hundred.

Liu Bao looked at the imperial cavalry that ran back in disbelief, he sent out a thousand cavalry, but only returned more than eight hundred cavalry. It turned out to be more than a hundred cavalry troops. What's even worse is that the cavalry is followed by a team of men and horses.

Liu Bao didn't have time to scold these waste cavalry, so he personally got on his horse and prepared to kill Wang Gang. But after fighting with Wang Gang, Liu Bao was frustrated to find that he was not the opponent of this young general.

The three or four hundred people brought by Wang Gang were all brave people from various villages and towns, all of them were grown men, and most of them held heavy weapons in their hands. Although they did not ride horses, in the face of the counterattack of the imperial cavalry, they formed a circle formation under the command of Wang Gang.

The two sides were in full swing, and the gate of Yongcheng suddenly opened, and Kou Cheng held a big gun and personally led dozens of cavalry to kill him.

Kou Wei is not a person who guards the city, and the reason why he does not dare to fight is only because Liu Bao's advantage is too obvious. For fear of losing the eternal city. At this time, seeing Wang Gang's strange army, Kou Cheng no longer hesitated and killed directly.

Wang Gang was actually taking a risk, if Kou Cheng didn't dare to get out of the city, the hundreds of men he brought would definitely be wiped out under the siege of Liu Bao. At most, he fought his way out of the encirclement alone. But once Kou Cheng's hundreds of Protector Army came out, the tide of the battle was immediately reversed.

Wang Gang knew the truth that the thief captured the king first, and one person and one horse entangled Liu Bao to death. Liu Bao had no choice but to avoid Wang Gang's edge. The general is the courage of an army, since Liu Bao does not dare to move forward bravely, of course the other imperial cavalry troops will not fight to the death.

It was a must-win situation, but the imperial camp army and Kou Cheng Wang Gang were evenly matched.

After fighting for half an hour, Liu Bao tragically found that he had to retreat. Because at this time, there were at least five or six thousand Yongcheng soldiers in Yongcheng who participated in the battle. He couldn't understand why these villagers were so brave that they dared to fight the cavalry with rudimentary weapons. But also had to order a retreat.

Wang Gang and Kou Cheng's cavalry were in one place, with a total of more than 100 people. With more than 100 cavalry, the two of them were tightly attached behind the imperial cavalry. From time to time, a short assault came, so that Liu Bao could not stabilize the morale of the army at all.

Along the way, Kou Cheng admired Wang Gang so much that he threw himself to the ground. When he heard that Wang Gang was only fifteen years old, he was even more dumbfounded. Wang Gang took advantage of the situation and put forward a request to join the Protector Army. Kou Cheng patted his chest and said, Bao Zhun let his brother get his wish. Although the Protector does not recruit soldiers under the age of sixteen, there is an exception to all cases. With the courage of the Wang brothers, it is really a waste not to join the Protector Army.
