Chapter 61: Don't chase the poor dog
The bandits don't know where to get a few broken drums, and the knock is also majestic, and Gai Longquan, the number one big pole in Nantai County, rode a big black mule with shiny fur, and advanced to the county seat first.
Cannons were fired on the top of the city, and three cannonballs whistled in, smashing up a cloud of dust and smoke, and the bandits continued to move forward majestically.
"Why hasn't the provincial army moved yet!" Yan Su was about to crush the pocket watch case, and the rifles of the People's Army had less than 100 bullets, and they fell in a moment.
"Don't wait, get ready to fight." Chen Zikun glanced back at the city, Rover Motors was ready, Yao Yilei and Jianbing were standing next to the car, very anxious.
"Walk from the north gate, don't stop!" Chen Zikun shouted.
The two women didn't speak, tears welled up in their eyes, they thought that they would come to Jiangbei to open up a new world, but they knew that they were trapped in a bandit's den and would die in a few days, what was going on.
"County Magistrate Liu, do you smoke?" Chen Zikun handed over a cigar, and County Magistrate Liu smiled bitterly, took it, lit it, and took a puff.
"I'm sorry for the people of Nantai, if I hadn't held back my strength and fought with Xia Dalong, I wouldn't have recruited the bandits, alas, I was arrogant." Chen Zikun looked at the bandits swarming outside the city, and he was extremely calm.
County Magistrate Liu said: "I can't complain about you, it's good that you didn't go with the bandits to oppress the people, that's enough, and you also have a stroke in the county annals." ”
Chen Zikun smiled: "The people in the county are all dead, who will compile the county chronicles, okay, you can go down too, you don't need you here." ”
The county seat is sure that it can't be saved, and the local security guards are already organizing the people to flee out of the city, and the magistrate of Liu County is powerless, and it is useless to stay on the city wall, so it is better to coordinate and command the escape.
Liu Youjin was silent for a moment and stretched out his hand: "I hope to see you again." ”
"Don't worry, my life is big, and I will never die." Chen Zikun smiled and shook hands with County Magistrate Liu, and patted his arm again: "Don't forget the treasures of the county government." ”
County Magistrate Liu smiled sadly, this time he still has the heart to joke, General Chen is really extraordinary.
Liu Youjin left in a hurry, Yao Yilei and Jianbing also started the car, and the little Wukong with a bandage on his head sat on the roof of the carriage, grinning and reluctant to give up.
Chen Zikun took a deep breath, put a bayonet on his rifle, and shouted, "Beat the drum!" ”
A huge cowhide drum was placed on the city, which was carried from the gate of the county government, and was used to beat the drum and voice grievances, but it was used to boost morale for a few days.
The militia silently picked up the shuttle and the big knife, which is a weapon made by the blacksmith overnight, and when the bullets are finished, only with cold weapons and bandits hand-to-hand combat, they will be restrained for a while, and their relatives will be safer.
Suddenly, there was a loud gunfire in the northwest direction, and the formation of the bandits suddenly became chaotic, some people were shot and fell to the ground, Chen Zikun jumped up suddenly, and carefully observed with a telescope, only to see a group of people and horses killed in the distance, and the clothes were all bandits wearing hats and pedaling straw shoes, and a red flag was waving in the wind, with a big "Chen" character on it.
Chen Zikun laughed: "Reinforcements have arrived, call me!" ”
The militia cheered up, fired guns, and were very happy, Liu Youjin, who had just walked to the city, heard Chen Zikun's laughter, hurriedly went to the city to look, stroked his palms and laughed: "The reinforcements came in time, hey?" Whose flag is this? ”
"It's the team of Kushuijing Chen Shou." Chan said.
……
Halfway through, the bandit formation was in chaos, but it was not to collapse, Gai Longquan grabbed the mule and scolded: "What are the fourth and fifth old men doing, let Chen Shou touch it." ”
Su Qingyan stepped forward and said, "Big scoop handle, the wind is tight, pull it." ”
Gai Longquan said: "I'm afraid of Mao, I don't care about a Chen Shou." ”
Su Qingyan said: "It's not a matter of Chen Shou right now, we are suffering from the enemy on three sides, and we don't have to worry about the lack of firewood in the green mountains, if we don't leave now, it will be too late for the officials and soldiers to surround us." ”
The big scoop handle was as good as a stream, and said, "You take the brothers to go first, and I have to clean up this Chen Shou myself." "A big black mule's belly was killed with a hundred and ten brothers.
Su Qingyan raised his arms and shouted: "Brothers, pull! ”
As soon as the military advisor gave the order, the bandits who were already panicked immediately dispersed, and their ability to escape was far superior to the ability to attack the fortified positions countless times.
When Chen Zikun saw this scene, he said excitedly: "The siege is over!" ”
Chengtou Mountain roared with joy.
However, the battle continued, Gai Longquan was angry but Chen Shou intervened to stir up the situation, and he had to destroy him.
Chen Zikun said: "No, I have to help the handle." ”
County Magistrate Liu persuaded him: "The bandits eat the dog, let's just sit and collect the profits, and if we want to make a move, we will wait until they are almost killing each other before making a move." ”
Chen Zikun said: "People come to help us, we can't help but be righteous, I'll go back as soon as I go, Yan Su, you and County Magistrate Liu will guard the city, don't let others in." ”
County Magistrate Liu was puzzled: "You mean the reinforcements from Jiangnan?" ”
Chen Zikun said: "Yes, why can't you let them in." ”
"Okay, I got it." County Magistrate Liu agreed, and Chief of Staff Yan also nodded.
……
By the river, the sound of cannons rumbled, the gunshots were intensive, but Nie crooked his mouth but didn't take it seriously, he ate breakfast in the tent, and the gang leader army now used the steamed bun from the pan stall, which beat three eggs and sprinkled green onions, which was called a fragrant, with hot wheat kernel porridge, and ate a round belly, took the towel handed by the maid and wiped his hand indiscriminately, and also touched the little maid's chest that was not yet fully developed.
The little maid was only thirteen or fourteen years old, and she jumped back in shock.
Head Nie smiled: "You're still young, when you grow up, the master will love you again." ”
After that, he shouted: "Adjutant! ”
"Yes!"
"How's the battle going out there?"
"Back to the head of the regiment, someone stirred up the situation, and the bandits withdrew."
"Oh, it's okay, swing the car, the head of this regiment wants to come to Nantai to garrison in person."
"Yes!"
Nie's head of the vehicle is a sliding pole, two bamboo poles tied to a rattan chair, sitting on it and shaking, so unhappy, the guards hold a big umbrella and follow closely, and the team of people and horses rushed to Nantai County.
Three hundred men drove to the city, and the adjutant stepped forward and shouted: "Why don't you put down the drawbridge quickly, our head Nie has arrived." ”
The county magistrate Liu lay on the head of the city and looked at the hundreds of soldiers below, wearing crooked hats and rifles, the first adjutant, full of arrogance, and the person lying on the sliding pole behind him was probably the head of the provincial army, looking at him in a white silk trouser gown, I don't know who I thought the rich man of the family was here.
"This sir, please also fortify outside the city." County Magistrate Liu said with a smile.
Chen Zikun did not let the soldiers of the provincial army enter the city, that is very reasonable, these years the soldiers are more harmful than the bandits, the bandits are at most with a comb once, the soldiers are the same as using a grate, and any good things in the city can be spoiled.
When the adjutant heard this, he was annoyed: "Grass your mother!" We have come all the way to save you, so let us bask in the sun! What are you doing, you come down for me! Believe it or not, Lao Tzu collapsed you! ”
The magistrate of Liu County hurriedly apologized: "The magistrate is angry, I am Liu Youjin, the magistrate of this county, the bandits have just left, the people are frightened, and they really can't stand the tiger power of the bosses, please wait for a while, the county will bring the gentry to the labor army, and the brothers will not let the brothers run in vain." ”
When the adjutant heard that it was the county magistrate, his face softened slightly, and he ran back and saluted: "Regiment commander, the county magistrate of Nantai said that we should be stationed outside the city." ”
"Grass damn, is the guy in your hand a burning stick, and he comes and goes when he is called, when we are what?" Commander Nie said angrily, although he knew that there was a military envoy with the rank of major general in the city, but the common sense of crushing people at the level of an official is not practical here, whoever has a soldier in his hand is the boss.
A group of soldiers suddenly became noisy, some of them were grumpy and even shouted to enter the city, County Magistrate Liu and Chief of Staff Yan were helpless, the other party was a provincial army, and they couldn't fight, but let it in, and they were afraid that the people would suffer.
Just wandering, I saw a group of local gentry hurrying over, led by Li Juren, since Xia Dalong had a stroke, he has become the leader of the squires of Nantai County, and his gestures are more than the style of Xia Dalong in the past.
Li Judao: "County magistrate, I heard that the official army has arrived, why don't you open the city gate?" ”
Liu Youjin smiled bitterly: "I don't dare to open this city gate, in case I let them in and disturb the people, I can't afford it." ”
Li Juren paused with his cane and said: "The county magistrate's words are wrong, after all, the official army is an official army, there are the constraints of the chief, there is military discipline and national law, besides, now is not the time to say this, there are no soldiers in our county, only the provincial army in Jiangnan can be relied on, offend them, the next time the bandits attack the city, who will break the siege?" ”
The other gentry also stroked their beards and nodded yes, and Master Qin said: "We understand your hardships the county magistrate, if you don't disturb the people, then you are not called a soldier, that is a group of hungry dogs, but we have raised them enough, even if they are hungry dogs, they can take care of the house." ”
Boss Lin also said: "That's the truth, the extortion of officers and soldiers is always much stronger than the bandits slaughtering the city, and the villagers really can't stand the toss." ”
Seeing that everyone said this, County Magistrate Liu also made a difficulty, and looked at Yan Su: "Chief of Staff, what do you think?" ”
Yan Su said helplessly: "Then let Commander Nie come in with the escorts, it's better for the army not to enter the city, otherwise I won't be able to explain when the escorts come." ”
County Magistrate Liu said: "Then let's do it, open the door." ”
The city gate creaked open, the drawbridge was lowered, and the chief of staff of Liu County, Yan, took the county gentry to greet him at the city gate, and there was a group of drummers behind him, and the suona gongs and drums played together, but there was also a festive atmosphere.
Nie Regiment Commander got down from the sliding pole, surrounded by the adjutant and Ma Ben, and went to the city gate, and said reservedly: "Everyone, Nie Jinku is a step too late, which makes you frightened. ”
County Magistrate Liu hurriedly said: "As soon as the Nie regimental army arrived, the bandits collapsed without a fight, and the people of Nantai were all grateful." ”
Nie Jinku said: "Don't panic, my surname Nie has arrived, you will be safe, brothers, enter the city and take over the defense!" ”
The brigade was about to open to the city gate, Yan Su hurriedly stopped in front: "Commander Nie, the bandits have not fled far yet, you listen, the escort envoy is still fighting with them, if you send a team of men and horses to attack from the side at this time, you will definitely be able to cut off the bandits and never suffer in the future." ”
As if to confirm his words, a close burst of gunfire was heard in the distance, but Nie Jinku acted as if he hadn't heard it.
He looked at Yan Su's epaulettes, and said with a smile: "It's the chief of staff, I have been familiar with military books since I was a child, and there is a saying called poor dog Mo Chasing, which is what I said about this situation, it is still important to protect the people, brothers, go to the city." ”
The three hundred provincial troops rushed in, and the gentry of the county welcomed them, and the white-bearded man who liked to chant poetry shook his head and chanted: "The remnants are in tears, and the king is looking south for another year." ”
There was a loud boom, and there was thunder.
