Li Hongcai and others came to Changhua County at the dawn of the day.

As the westernmost county of Hangzhou, they are naturally the last of the nine counties in Hangzhou.

The more than 2,000 people and horses that were originally brought out had already been dispersed and stationed in various counties, and when Li Hongcai and others came to Changhua County, there were only more than 100 people left around them.

However, in this era, more than a hundred heavily armed soldiers are still a force that makes ordinary people tremble to the extreme.

What made Li Hongcai feel a little relieved was that when they rushed all the way to the county seat of Changhua County, they saw the closed city gate not far away, a scene that was the same as in the past, obviously there was no surprise attack from those thieves, Li Hongcai couldn't help but breathe a deep sigh of relief.

"Into town!" Li Hongcai looked at the brothers behind him, greeted him, and then the group walked towards the direction of the city gate.

"Open the gates!"

Li Hongcai led the people under the city and shouted loudly at the soldiers guarding the city above.

For Li Hongcai, the commander of the town navy, the soldiers guarding the city in Changhua County naturally did not know each other, and after Li Hongcai showed the token, he hurriedly opened the door and let him in.

The soldiers he brought were left at the city gate, while Li Hongcai took two or three soldiers as guards and went straight to the county magistrate's office.

The magistrate of Changhua County hadn't gotten up at this time, and when he was woken up from his sleep by his subordinates, he still had a look of displeasure on his face, but when he heard that it was the commander of the Ma army of the town navy, he couldn't help but feel excited. Hurriedly dressed and rushed to the front hall.

Wait until he gets to the antechamber. Seeing that Li Hongcai already had a somewhat impatient look on his face, he hurriedly caught up. Deeply worried: "The lower officials don't know that Commander Li is coming, and they miss the distance, and they neglect the officials, and they hope that the officials will forgive their sins!" ”

Li Hongcai, as a military general, didn't care too much about this set of red tape, just waved his hand, and then said loudly to Duan Ruizhi, the magistrate of Changhua County: "Duan Zhixian, this commander is here today, there is a hundred thousand urgent and important matters!" ”

After all that is said. In Duan Ruizhi's frightened eyes, Li Hongcai simply said something to Duan Ruizhi about what had happened during this time, and after hearing Li Hongcai's words, Duan Ruizhi's eyes couldn't help but widen.

Duan Ruizhi is thirty-six years old Chinese New Year's Eve, and he is also in the prime of life, with a wide heart and a fat appearance, and looks a little harmless to humans and animals, but those who are familiar with him know it. Duan Ruizhi is also a resolute character, and he is also quite capable.

For a long time, after the Manichaean thieves captured Wuzhou, the officialdom of Hangzhou had a feeling that everyone was in danger. After all, the distance between Hangzhou and Wuzhou is too close, and because of Hangzhou's important position in the south of the Yangtze River, now after the Namanichaean Church conquers Wuzhou. Its wolf ambitions are also obvious.

When Bai Qing was just in charge of Hangzhou, Duan Ruizhi also despised this young man who had just passed the weak crown. However, after proposing various restrictions and multi-pronged strategies. The form of this Hangzhou city is actually a little new, many Manichaean forces have been uprooted, and through the large-scale propaganda, the consciousness of the people has been strengthened, so that the reputation of Manichaeism has become very bad in the minds of these people, almost to the point that everyone shouts and beats, seeing this, Duan Ruizhi put away his contempt for this, when they saw that Gu Qingfeng, the magistrate of Qiantang, with the support of Bai Qing, actually made Qiantang very rich, Duan Ruizhi was convinced by Bai Qing's heart.

Since the matter had already involved Manichaeism, Duan Ruizhi naturally did not dare to slack off, and after a few words of greeting with Li Hongcai, Duan Ruizhi sent someone to gather all the officials and arrest them quickly, and then the group went straight to the city gate.

Because the Manichaeism in the south is more fierce, and Hangzhou is intersected with Wuzhou, so at this time, those township troops in the county are naturally not like other places to become some decorations, these township troops are also trained every once in a while, not to mention the results of the training, at least when they are draped and assembled to stand in front of Li Hongcai, it is also like that.

More than 100 town navy, 500 township army, and 30 or 40 government servants were all the forces that Li Hongcai could command in Changhua County temporarily.

Who said that it is still calm in and out of the city at the moment, but Li Hongcai and Duan Ruizhi still dare not slack off, before they find out the purpose of those thieves, what they have to do is to go all out to ensure that there can be no loss in this county seat of Changhua County, even if they know in the end that it is just a false alarm, it is just a spirit that has been tense for a few days.

The fast arresters in Changhua County and those Manichaean thieves have not been dealing with each other for a day or two, so after hearing that it is possible that the Manichaean thieves will carry out a surprise attack, they did not show any fear, and after a simple distribution, those people scattered and went to the four city gates to garrison.

Out of the need for vigilance, the gate at each city gate is only half open, and the officials stationed at the city gate are carefully checking everyone who enters and exits the city gate, looking heavily guarded, as for the soldiers of the town navy, they are carrying cold and shining spears, standing on top of the city tower, looking into the distance, although the number is not large, but there is a murderous momentum on the body.

As the time passed, the number of people at the city gate gradually increased, and when they saw this heavily guarded look, they all showed a look of surprise on their faces, not knowing what was going on, and those fast arresting officials were also busy checking everyone who came in and out, so naturally they didn't have time to pay attention to their curiosity, but they just impatiently scolded the people in front of them for taking out the things that were identified.

When he came to plant at nine o'clock, a sharp-eyed soldier standing on the city tower suddenly saw a bunch of small black dots at the end of his field of vision, he quickly pushed his brother beside him, and pointed into the distance: "Look! ”

The other soldier squinted his eyes in the direction he was pointing, and soon, when the figure gradually became a little clearer, although it was not obvious from the outside, the two of them still keenly felt something abnormal.

The two of them glanced at each other, and they both saw a look of affirmation in each other's eyes, at this sensitive time, they could not underestimate any abnormality, and then the two of them pointed to the distance while shouting loudly: "Alert, there may be an enemy attack!" ”

The village soldiers below, after hearing the shouts of the naval soldiers of the town above, immediately closed the half-open city gate, and at the same time, together with those officials and hunters, began to drive away the crowd around the city gate.

The people who were originally waiting in line to leave the city, after hearing the enemy attack, suddenly looked panicked on their faces, and they didn't need to be driven away by the officials, they just scattered and fled.

The heavy city gates were tightly closed together, making a dull sound, and after getting the news, the other three city gates were also closed, and the entire county seat of Changhua County was suddenly closed, and all the town navy soldiers, township army soldiers and fast arresting officials all stood on the city tower, looking at the figures who were gradually approaching.

When those suddenly figures rushed to the gate of the county seat, they found that the city gate in front of them had been tightly closed, and they immediately drew their blades and waved them high towards the soldiers on the city wall. "Open the gates of the city or kill your whole family!" Such threatening words roared out of their mouths one after another.

If nothing else, just by looking at their appearance, you know that these people are not good people, if not Manichaean thieves.

Li Hongcai condescendingly looked at the thieves who kept shouting, and he couldn't see what the look was, those thieves under the city, looking at the scale of about six or seven hundred people, although it seemed that many people were pretentious, and there were also many people holding firewood knives and kitchen knives in their hands, but there were still many people, all of whom looked fierce and vicious, and they looked like five big and three thick, and they also seemed to have considerable combat effectiveness.

Seeing this, that Duan Ruizhi couldn't help but feel a little afraid in his heart, if it weren't for Li Hongcai's overnight rush to tell him, this Changhua County was unguarded, and these people suddenly rushed over, maybe it would have been really defeated, after all, if it wasn't for the preparation in advance, those township troops would not have been able to assemble so quickly, let alone the officials who have always been lazy and lazy.

Duan Ruizhi wiped the cold sweat from his face, then looked at Li Hongcai and asked softly, "Commander Li, what should we do now!" ”

Hearing Duan Ruizhi's words, the other soldiers and servants on the city tower also focused their attention on Li Hongcai.

Li Hongcai first looked at the thieves who were constantly shouting below, his brows furrowed slightly, and then he lowered his head, looking thoughtful, and after a while, he raised his head, looking at the look on his face, as if he had made up some kind of determination.

first glanced at the people on the city tower, and saw that they were staring at him one by one, Li Hongcai's eyes were a little resolute, and then he spit out three words heavily: "Kill out!" ”

His words were very concise, but there was a murderous momentum in them, hearing Li Hongcai's words, those soldiers glanced at each other, and then looked at Li Hongcai, their eyes were also a little more ruthless: "I am willing to advance and retreat with the general, kill!" Kill! Kill! ”

The voice was incomparably excited, like a dragon's roar, carrying an incomparable surging momentum, soaring into the sky, making the heavens and the earth suddenly change color......
