"Today, we're going to hold it for three days! In three days, the adults will definitely send troops over! Qian Qi said with great certainty. This was not only to give confidence to his soldiers, but also to give him confidence in himself.

But some people were still skeptical of Qian Qi's words, and a soldier asked on the side: "Deputy Commander, will the Lord really come?" ”

Qian Qi nodded affirmatively again and said, "Definitely!" Have you ever heard of our adults abandoning their brothers? ”

got Qian Qi's affirmation, and the soldiers around him also seemed to have arrived with reinforcements, and they all opened their minds and laughed.

It is now dusk on the 14th day of the lunar month. All day today, the camp was attacking the three walls of Ningling County without stopping. Although the repeated sieges of the camp were eventually repulsed, the losses in the city were also heavy.

The number of soldiers in the Runing army has been reduced to 450, and the number of young men in the city has also been reduced to more than 700. Although Master Ding Bo had already mobilized all the men in the city, more than 1,400 men had been added to help defend the city.

However, among these men, there are gray-haired old men, and there are also young men who have just changed their baby teeth, which are really useless, and Qian Qi can only arrange them behind the second city wall, train them like spears, and treat them as Zuihou's reserves.

The weapons used to defend the city were also depleted. The frequent firing caused more than 30 firearms to be scrapped. When Yu Zilian took away the militia group, he also took away all the weapons defending the city in the city, leaving only two swarming bees and five 10,000 enemies.

And today, in one day, the five 10,000 enemies were used up at a critical time, and the two swarms were also sent by Qian Qi behind the second city wall, so in the next defense of the city, the Runing army will not have such a weapon to defend the city.

"My lord! I heard that you were the first to talk to adults, can you tell the little ones about the adults? Yang Wu, the deputy company commander on the side, asked Qian Qidao.

"Huh?" Qian Qi was a little confused by the two "adults". So he asked a little confusedly, "You are asking the old conductor!" ”

Seeing Yang Wu nodded, Qian Qi smiled and said, "I was one of the two hundred people who followed the old commander out of the capital back then. In fact, when I was in Beijing City, I was a small soldier under the old commander. However, the old commander was the commander of the Nancheng Terracotta Division at that time, and he may not have recognized me as a little soldier at that time. ”

"Then how did Lord Du Si and Lord Du Si leave Beijing City at that time?" Just as the rural people yearn to live in the big city now, the people of the Ming Dynasty at that time were also quite eager to live in Beijing, so Yang Wu could not understand the behavior of Wu Shigong and Qian Qi who left Beijing to work as military attachés in Henan.

"I don't know about the old conductor! However, at that time, only Deputy Commander Zhou and I were the only ones who followed the old commander from the Nancheng Terracotta Division here. Of course, Qian Qi couldn't tell Yang Wu the real reason why Wu Shigong left the capital, "After the death of my father, thanks to the care of the old commander, my eldest brother and I were arranged into the Nancheng Terracotta Division. But wait until the old commander leaves the capital. I was kicked out of my family, and I can't stay in the capital anymore! So I can only follow the old conductor! Faced with a desperate situation, Qian Qi's heart was also completely open, and she expressed the hidden pain in her heart.

"Weishenme?" Yang Wu asked strangely.

"I was born to my father's concubine! It wasn't born to my mother. ”

"That adult's mother is really ......, what a ......!"

"Don't talk about that. The son does not say anything about the parents! Qian Qi smiled bitterly. The old conductor has always said: how big the pattern of people is, how big the cause can be! So we're doing big things now. The amount of gas must be large. How? Didn't you study it in your culture class? ”

"Of course I did!" Yang Wu also laughed. "But learning to write is a lot more troublesome than training knives and guns! Besides, the little one also knows that Lord Dusi's words are indeed right, but if something really happens, as long as no one is good to the little one, the little one will still retaliate against whom! This pattern is much smaller than that of Lord Toji and you, no wonder you can be a small adult. ”

Yang Wu's words amused Qian Qi all of a sudden. He laughed for a while and said, "Actually, everyone likes to be happy and revenge. I'm the same, and there's nothing to be embarrassed about. But for the sake of our Runing Army, we personally always have to give up something. By the way, you are one of the people who joined the Runing Army in Beizhili. In the midst of that group of soldiers. You should be the fastest rising! ”

"Don't talk about it, adult, when you talk about this topic, all the little faces will be thrown to grandma's house." Yang Wu said aggrievedly, "There are two relatives of the little one who joined the Runing Army with the little one. One is the younger seventh brother, and now he is a company commander in the Runing Legion. One is the brother-in-law of the younger seventh brother, who is now the head of the militia group. Oh! It's the militia in the Evil Tiger Village! It's the smallest officer. ”

"Oh?" Qian Qi was a little surprised, "The head of the Evil Tiger Village is your relative?" Then the last time you went to the Evil Tiger Village with me, why didn't you introduce you to me? ”

"Adults, the little ones blush when they say it. The little self is uncomfortable when he sees the whole head of the regiment. When he first arrived in Runing, the younger one wanted to get married, so he borrowed some silver from the family of the head of the whole regiment. But I didn't expect the head of the whole regiment to give all the bride money for his own marriage to the small one, so that now the whole head of the regiment is single. Alas! ”

Hearing some interesting things between his subordinates, Qian Qi also hahahadaxiao, and then he persuaded him: "The people of the whole regiment leader are very good, and they won't take these old rotten grains to heart!" I think you're overhearted! ”

"Of course the head of the whole regiment is nothing. But the little one sees him and his heart is empty! Yang Wu also accompanied Qian Qi and smiled, "Actually, the head of the whole group is fine, but the one who is most afraid of seeing the little one is Aunt Quan!" ”

The two of them laughed even louder. After laughing for a while, Yang Wu asked again: "I don't know if our Runing Army can repel these hundreds of thousands of Shaanxi bandits this time." ”

"That's for sure!" Qian Qi replied without hesitation, "If you want to say that I Qian Qi admires the most in my life, it must be our adult." When the old commander first arrived at this thousand-household office, he wanted no people, no money, no horses, and no weapons, but in the past seven or eight years, he broke through such a big situation as our Runing Army. Also, you haven't had much contact with the old conductor. The old conductor is really good to us! makes people really willing to work for him. In the future, when you have the opportunity to join the old commander's personal army, follow the old commander more and learn more from him, and you will know how wise and powerful the old commander is! ”

Yang Wu's eyes showed a look of yearning, but then his eyes darkened, and he said a little dejectedly: "I don't know if this Ningling County can be defended, and I don't know if the little one has the opportunity to go to Lord Dusi to study." ”

"The losses are a bit heavy, and the five company commanders have all killed and injured two people." For his own people, Qian Qi has no need to hide it, "If it goes on like this, there may not be enough soldiers to guard the outer city wall." But it's nothing. All we have to do is hold on for the night, and then we'll all retreat to the second wall. The distance between the walls there is much shorter, and we have basically enough people to defend the city.

However, although the third wall has been built in the county government, the wall is built according to the wall of the big house, and the strength of the wall cannot be compared with the city wall, so it does not play a role. Therefore, the second wall is also the line of defense of our Zuihou.

Besides, the space behind the third wall is too small to accommodate so many people in the city, so who will give it up when the time comes? Therefore, in the second wall, it must be guarded for two days after tomorrow. ”

"Then the family members of the county magistrate still occupy such a big place in the county office! You can kick them all out! Speaking of Yu Zilian who took away the militia, Yang Wu was angry.

"I know you're mad at your company commander for being seriously injured. But didn't I tell you just now? Have a pattern! Pattern! Qian Qi scolded with a smile, and then Qian Qi explained, "Besides, Yuzhi County also went to fight with the Shaanxi bandits with the militia group. If he was thinking of running away with his troops? Hum! ”

After being silent for a while, Yang Wu finally asked what he was most worried about: "My lord, did you say that the main force would really arrive in three days?" ”

Qian Qi was also a little tricky when he heard this question, and in his heart he was not willing to deceive the brothers who fought side by side with him. So after thinking about it for a while, Qian Qizhan smiled: "Does it matter if you come or not?" Our family members and children are all by the old conductor's side, and with the old conductor's care, their rich and prosperous future and glorious ancestors are also destined in the future. What do we have to worry about? ”

Listening to Qian Qi's answer, the soldiers around him suddenly became more than xiao. There is always endless tragedy in the laughter.

……

To the surprise of the Runing army guarding the county seat of Ningling, they broke into the camp and attacked at night on the 14th. After repulsing three sieges in succession, the defenders, who lacked major generals, were finally attacked by the camp on the city wall for the fourth time.

Fortunately, because the four gates of Ningling County were blocked by sand and gravel at this time, the camp could not be flooded in large numbers from inside the city gate. Therefore, after some soldiers of the Runing army were cut off, most of the soldiers and young men who defended the city retreated to the second city wall under the leadership of Qian Qi.

However, due to the haste of the retreat, one of the cannons on the outer city wall did not have time to be destroyed, and fell into the hands of the breaking camp. However, those soldiers of Runing who intercepted also lit up the two city walls, and a haode fire point had already been placed between the two city walls, forming a wall of fire to prevent the camp from attacking. As a result, the houses between the two walls were largely burned down.

The more than 200 Runing soldiers who intercepted them were all killed. Among them is Yang Wu, the deputy company commander of the Guide Corps. (To be continued......)
