After all, it is very dishonorable to be a thief. These thoughtful fast catchers wanted to think about it in their hearts, but no one dared to say it directly, everyone just secretly connected with eye contact.

The staff felt this dangerous atmosphere, and their hearts sank.

"Bad ......"

If this continues, it is not good that these officials will soon tie up the county magistrate, along with the lord Bo and him, and open the door and surrender. If only the staff were alone, it would be fine, but there were family members from other places behind him. If the thief is discovered, the family will inevitably be implicated.

Damn it!

This Mr. Tan reacted quickly, and immediately said righteously: "What are you thinking? Thief? How can a gang of rebels resist the counterinsurgency of the imperial army? I dare say that within a month, the army sent by the Longshan Mansion or the county town will strangle these frantic thieves. At that time, one of you who is a thief will also want to run away, and it will also affect your family. Instead of living for a month with infamy on his back, it is better to fight to the death against the thieves here, and he can still have a name of loyalty. After the empire spilled over, everyone could share dozens of acres of land at home, at least without worrying about food and clothing. Where to go, you have to think clearly. ”

"This ......"

The words of the staff hit the hearts of these officials like a heavy hammer.

Indeed, although these chaotic people are not ordinary, quietly breaking through Yicheng and opening the arsenal, they are just a bunch of homeless people after all. The empire has a million troops, and any brigade can crush these homeless people into ashes. Even the most ignorant family members present firmly believe this.

If you don't join the thief, you will die; Surrendered to the thief, and then encountered the imperial army and still died, and the family was also harmed......

You Kuai smiled bitterly and said: "What Mr. Tan said is very true, if you don't need to take care of family affairs, I will fight with the thieves here, and there is only one knife left and right." However, my family of four is still in this Yicheng. What if those thieves are angry and take a little discouragement at my people? ”

Seeing that everyone was looking over, the staff did not change their faces, and replied: "Now that it is so chaotic outside, your family may have found a place to hide." There are tens of thousands of people in Yicheng, and the thieves are all outsiders, how can they be found for a while? What's more, even if you surrender to the thief, in the future, when the imperial army kills you, don't you think you will let your family go? ”

"That's it."

When he said this, the catcher laughed miserably, and the thief was gone.

Up to now, these fast catchers, even if there are still people who are lucky, they also know that they are afraid that it will be difficult to be good today. As a few people who were determined to die had no scruples and scolded outside, Chen Wu and Dian Yong knew that the people inside were only afraid that they would defend to the end.

Such a decision is not surprising.

Although the empire has been declining over the years, it is still the largest country in the Eastern Continent. Even great enemies like the Lena dynasty and the Varspurs would not deny this. No one would have imagined that such a vast empire would fall in just ten years. Because of this, these officials of Yicheng did not hesitate to die in order to take care of their families and reputation. Or maybe they don't have a choice.

It is only when the rebels grow larger and the officials of the empire see that there is hope for success that they may choose to surrender.

As for now, since the people inside are bent on seeking benevolence, Chen Wu has decided to fulfill them.

"Get in!"

With a wave of his hand, he gave the order to attack the accompanying infantry.

"The general has an order, attack!"

The sound spread, and the spirits of the rebels perked up. The capture of Yicheng in such a smooth way, even the hundred households that were regarded as big men in the past were tied up here, which greatly increased Chen Wu's prestige and made the fear in the hearts of these rebels quickly subside. Almost instantly, dozens of volunteer soldiers rushed up and began to bang on the door.

"Bang! Bang! ”

There was another dull knock on the door.

Although the officials inside had already made up their minds, they couldn't help but panic when they saw the gate crumbling. The only one of the catchers loudly urged his subordinates to line up behind the gate to meet the enemy.

Due to the rockery weighing thousands of pounds in the back, and the people of the government pushing hard, the gate of the county government is more difficult to open than imagined. Although it was crumbling by the rebels, the sand and gravel kept falling, but it still supported the tea time, only to be completely smashed with a bang, and the rockery was also pushed away, leaving a gap for several people to enter and exit.

The infantry cheered and rushed through the gap with their spears in hand.

"Stop them!"

"Kill the thief!"

Seeing so many anti-thieves rushing in, several determined hunters shouted quickly and waved their knives to meet them, already putting life and death on the line. In terms of personal combat strength, these catchers are stronger than the rebels who were hastily pulled up. Even if the infantry of this second brigade has been carefully selected, it is still the same. But right now, the morale of the rebels is high, and the number of people is several times that of these catchers and families, so the result is naturally needless to say.

The most advantageous thing for the rebels was undoubtedly the newly replaced spear.

The attack distance several times that of the sword, combined with the numerical advantage, formed a simple spear formation. The catchers don't have bows and arrows, and it's hard to get to the sky if they want to kill them with swords alone. Within a few rounds of fighting, the rebels relied on the huge advantage of attack distance to press the group trainers and catchers who were blocking behind the gate to retreat. Recklessly, a family member sent by a nearby big family grabbed a flaw and rushed up, trying to cut people at close range, but he didn't want to be stabbed by a spear from the rebels in the back two rows looking for opportunities. Immediately afterwards, four or five spears stabbed at the same time, and they were devastated on the spot.

This is the difference between individual bravery and army arrays!

The scene of the tragic death of the family, the helpless bookstores and masters behind the watch turned pale.

It's one thing to make up your mind before, and it's another to see someone you know killed. The imminent threat of death made these officials tremble on their legs, and they desperately restrained themselves to suppress the idea of the thief.

However, at this moment, the sound of horses' hooves faintly sounded outside!

"Horse team?"

In the noise of the fighting in the courtyard of the county government, the secretary office could hear it, and Chen Wu and Dian Yong, who were watching the battle outside, naturally discovered it earlier than the people inside, and their faces couldn't help but change.

"At least sixteen or seventeen rides."

Dian Yong listened attentively for a moment, and his face became solemn.

The people in the official mansion inside, although they couldn't tell whether they were friends or foes for a while, they didn't know how the two leaders of the rebel army were. There were only more than ten people in the entire horse team of the Taiping Righteous Army. Not to mention that without the orders of the two of them, Ning An, who temporarily led the horse team, would not bring everyone over, even if he dared to do so, his own horse team would not be able to run this kind of momentum.

"Officers and soldiers!"

Chen Wu and Dian Yong said these two words at the same time.

The garrison of Yicheng, in addition to the two teams of city defense battalions, also has four teams of cavalry. According to Chen Wu's experience in "Empire", these dozens of cavalry were completely empty shelves, and many of them did not even have war horses. When he captured the school field of the city defense camp earlier, the stables searched by Sun Tian also proved this. There were less than ten horses in it, and half of them were dirt horses, and they didn't have the strength to pull goods. After this experience, Chen Wu thought that the cavalry of the government was no longer a threat. Unexpectedly, Yicheng, who thought it was already a certainty, really had an unexpected force.

Now, the cavalry approaching the two teams is rushing towards the county government at full speed.

"Prepare for battle!"

In this attack on the county government, Chen Wu brought more than half of the most elite forces of the rebel army, with a total number of about 140 people. In the previous attack, Chen Wu only invested about half of his strength, and left six infantry troops plus Nanbao's infantry battalion in hand. This caution gave him the confidence to face the unknown enemy, and shouted loudly to order his subordinates to prepare to meet the enemy.

These sixty or seventy volunteers also sensed the approach of the cavalry, and their faces inevitably looked a little flustered, but they still acted according to the order.

I have to say that the official cavalry came too coincidentally.

Earlier, Chen Wu could mobilize all his strength to deal with these cavalry first; Later, the enemy in the county government has been resolved, and he can also mobilize all his strength to meet the enemy. At this time, it was really difficult for the rebels to take care of everything. However, the group of people brought by Chen Wu was the strongest in the righteous army after all. Under the personal command of him and Dian Yong, the order was quickly completed.

According to the previous training, a queue of six vertical and ten horizontal lines was discharged.
