Xue Dayuan and his entourage set off before dawn, and when it was already dark more than 20 miles away from the county seat, they stopped in place to rest for the night.

After eating the next morning, Zhao Zhengzhi gave an order, and everyone replaced the short fights on their bodies with uniform leather armor.

The shield bearer was also replaced with a uniform style, a rectangular bamboo shield wrapped in animal skins and nailed with rows of iron nails.

In the center of the front shield is a lion's head made of iron, which looks very imposing.

The new steel knives in their hands, the spears held by the spearmen had their heads changed from a simple one-pound to a larger three-pound, and each of them carried a bundle of five-rod javelins.

No matter where this army is placed, it is elite.

This is another purpose for Wen Yi to let Zhao Zhengzhi follow, to show off his strength and announce their existence to the people of Jin'an County.

"Lingnan is a wild place, and the biggest rule here is fists, and it is necessary for us to dry our muscles to deter others."

"In this way, no one will dare to do our activities easily in the future, and after the reputation spreads, we may be able to attract some talents to join."

"So your trip is especially important, and you must not lose our face."

This is what Wen Yi said to him before leaving, Zhao Zhengzhi firmly remembered it, and had already begun to plan how to make this head.

Xue Dayuan shook his head secretly, he didn't object to doing this, but felt that the progress was too fast, at least until the foundation of Langhu Lake was laid to show off his muscles externally.

But this is Wen Yi's plan, and he doesn't have much to say.

It's just that this time it's not so easy to get into town.

If it were any county town, it would not let such a group of killers go in at will, I just hope that no one will be killed at that time.

Walking and walking, Zhao Zhengzhi suddenly said, "No." ”

"What's wrong?" Xue Dayuan hurriedly asked.

Zhao Zhengzhi said with a solemn expression: "We haven't even seen anyone on the road for so long. ”

Xue Dayuan breathed a sigh of relief and said casually: "Lingnan is already sparsely populated, and it's normal to see no people. ”

Zhao Zhengzhi shook his head and said: "The population of Jin'an County is very small, but it is already close to the county seat, so it is impossible not to see a person for so long." ”

Xue Dayuan also reacted: "What you said makes sense, could it be that something happened in the county?" ”

"Let's get to know the situation first." Zhao Zhengzhi replied, and then ordered: "Rest in place and pay attention to vigilance, Lin Hong, you take people to the surrounding area to inquire about the situation, especially in the direction of the county seat." ”

"Yes." After Lin Hong received the order, he divided the three squads of his platoon into three directions to inquire about the news, and he personally took one squad to the direction of the county seat.

After about an hour, all three classes brought back the news: "There is a slang tribe attacking the county seat. ”

Xue Dayuan exclaimed, "What? They will rebel and fail. ”

Zhao Zhengzhi shook his head and said: "It's not necessarily a rebellion, it's not uncommon for slang people to attack the county seat here, most of them are symbolic sieges and will retreat at once." ”

Then he asked Lin Hongdao: "Have you inquired about what's going on?" ”

Lin Hong said: "No, the slang people blocked the two gates of the county, and we didn't dare to approach." I searched around but couldn't find anyone. ”

Zhao Zhengzhi didn't report much hope, so he was not disappointed, and continued to ask: "How many slang people are there?" ”

"There were about four or five hundred men at each of the gates, all of them young and strong, and half of them had iron tools."

"That's thousands of people, so many young people seem to be a big tribe." Zhao Zhengzhi said thoughtfully.

Xue Dayuan said nervously: "What do you want to do, it won't be that you want to attack the slang, right?" I would never agree with that. ”

Zhao Zhengzhi said: "Brother Xiao Yi asked us to come over and show our muscles, do you say there is a better opportunity than this?" ”

"You're not looking for muscles, you're looking for death."

"How can it be looking for death, you know the combat effectiveness of the slang people, the Daqing Mountain Department and the Black Water Department were taken down by our bloodless soldiers."

"It was a surprise and now it's head-to-head...... Since I have brought you out, I will not let you risk your death. ”

"Sir, don't worry, I'm still young and want to live a few more years, and I won't go if I'm not sure."

But no matter how he explained, Xue Dayuan did not agree with him to go to the rescue.

Zhao Zhengzhi was also helpless, and said in a heart: "In this case, then I can only be sorry for you." ”

Xue Dayuan realized that something was wrong and said, "What do you want to do?" ”

Zhao Zhengzhi waved his hand and said, "Chang Zhu, take the people in your class to stay and protect Mr. Xue, and the others will follow me." ”

"Yes." I often wish the reluctant way.

Xue Dayuan said angrily: "Zhao Zhengzhi, you ...... You...... Bold, after I go back, I must sue you in front of Brother Xiaoyi. ”

Zhao Zhengzhi ignored him at all, and ran towards the county seat with people.

Xue Dayuan's whole body trembled, and then he roared at Chang Zhu: "Are you stupid, don't you hurry up and help." ”

Chang Zhu said: "The company commander said let us protect you." ”

Xue Dayuan said: "The old man needs your protection? Can't you run if you can't beat you when you're in danger? We have fewer people, and one more person will give us more strength, so hurry up. ”

Chang Zhu hesitated for a moment, but in the end his belligerent heart prevailed: "Sir, take care of yourself, we are over." ”

After saying that, he led the people and followed.

When everyone was finished, the angry look on Xue Dayuan's face disappeared instantly, as if it wasn't him who was angry just now.

Then he drove the cattle into the woods next to him and hid them.

Zhao Zhengzhi led people all the way to the side of the county seat, originally he thought that the two sides would fight fiercely, but when he got closer, he was dumbfounded.

The people on the city wall were lazy and lazy, not to mention the slang people under the city wall, and a group of people from the east and west sat together, and some even made a fire and roasted meat on the spot.

"That's what you're talking about?" Zhao Zhengzhi asked?

Lin Hong hurriedly explained: "It wasn't like this when I came over just now, the slang people were shouting to attack, and the city wall was full of people...... You can ask other people. ”

Zhao Zhengzhi didn't doubt his words, the slang people gathered here is definitely not a trip, it can only be said that they don't understand the way of thinking of the people here when they first come.

Lin Hong asked, "What should we do now, rush over?" ”

Zhao Zhengzhi shook his head and said, "No, wait first, wait until it's hot before attacking." ”

After speaking, he took people back to the shade and hid, and after a while, Chang Zhu and others also touched it.

Zhao Zhengzhi reprimanded him after inquiring about the reason, but he didn't punish him much.

Then send someone to tell Xue Dayuan about the situation here, so that he should not worry.

As time went by, the weather got hotter and hotter, and it was the end of September, and the so-called heat was actually not very hot.

But it's not the same when heat and humidity are put together, and that's the steamer.

Zhao Zhengzhi and the others who were hiding in the shade of the trees felt a little stuffy, not to mention the slang people exposed to the sun, all of them were like chickens with a plague.

Zhao Zhengzhi waited until about one o'clock before calling everyone up: "Attack, don't leave any hands behind." ”
