Outside the city of Zunyi, in the big tent of the bandit camp, all the bandit leaders were worried, they thought that this was just a light burning and looting, but they did not expect to meet a strong opponent in this small city, and the two attacks ended in failure, especially the elite men and horses under the two leaders lost half of them, and their strength was greatly reduced.

Outside the big tent, you can hear the painful sound of the injured bandits from time to time, the lead has lead poisoning, hitting people, even if it is not a vital point, it is easy to cause the wounded soldiers to produce lead poisoning, Wu Yunlin's artillery fired a huge power of scattered bullets, the bandits hit by the scattered bullets are basically serious injuries with broken hands and feet.

The second leader sighed and said with a look of fear: "Big brother, since the firearms of the officers and soldiers defending the city are so sharp, it is difficult to capture this city, why don't we bypass this place and go to attack other states and counties." Several other bandit leaders also nodded in agreement, and the power of the firearms of the officers and soldiers defending the city today was too impressive.

Zhang Tiande saw that the morale was low, the secret way was not good, if the troops had no morale, the people's morale would be weakened, and the combat effectiveness would be greatly reduced during the battle, he frowned and thought about it, then laughed and said: "Leaders don't have to be pessimistic, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, and the officers and soldiers win once in a while, it is not a big deal, in fact, the weakness of the enemy army, the general has already seen it." ”

Hearing that Zhang Tiande had discovered the enemy's weakness, everyone in the tent was in good spirits, Wei Xu hurriedly asked: "Dare to ask the big boss, where is the enemy's weakness?" Zhang Tiande said with a smile: "Although the enemy has sharp firearms, but there are too few soldiers, if my estimate is good, now the number of soldiers in the city should not exceed 1,000, the officers and soldiers rely on nothing more than firearms, as long as the city is breached, our army will fight with its white blades, and the enemy army will not be our opponent." ”

The second leader said with a bitter face: "Great boss, but the enemy's firearms are so sharp, how can they break through the city?" If you want to break the city, you can only fill it with a large number of lives, and even if the city is broken, our army will suffer heavy losses. ”

Zhang Tiande smiled slightly and said: "At noon today, the general has already sent someone to Rolling Niupo to transport the two red-clothed cannons from Rolling Niupo here, if everything goes well, they will arrive at noon tomorrow." ”

The second leader slapped his thigh suddenly, and stretched out his thumb with his right hand: "The big boss is really wise!" The red-coated cannon is extremely powerful, and the enemy will definitely not be able to resist it with cannon bombardment! ”

The three leaders also praised: "The big boss is clever, I can't wait for the distance, as long as the city is broken, the enemy army is in no danger to defend, our army is invincible in the field, this battle will be won!" ”

Wei Xu said: "This time to break the city, I must break Wu Yunlin's dog official into thousands of pieces to relieve the anger in my chest!" ”

Zhang Tiande was proud for a while, laughing, and everyone was also happy, and for a while, the gloomy atmosphere was swept away.

In Zunyi City, the originally bustling market in the east of the city has now become an open space, a large group of people who fled from outside the city to the city, temporarily gathered here to shelter, because of the attack of the enemy, Wu Yunlin sent people to temporarily close the market, and the vacated place was used to settle the people.

Ren San and Du Yueniang, Mao Dan and the three of them were also among them, and they got a notice from the township that day, and learned that the bandits were coming, Ren San had heard that the bandits were powerful, so he hurriedly hid his belongings and food, and he and Yueniang, Mao Dan hid in Zunyi County. In the past few days, the government has sent people to give porridge every day, so these people are not dissatisfied, and they talk to each other about when the bandits will withdraw and when they will return to their homes.

Ren San knew that the bandits had always been ferocious, the military was strong, and he was worried, worried that the enemy army would break through the city, and most of the people were very optimistic, after all, they had repelled the attacks of Zhang Tiande and other bandits twice in a row.

Since the gods of heaven here are omnipotent, the bandits and bandits believe that they will return in vain this time, this is the opinion of many people in Zunyi County, not to mention that the adults and their families are in the city, which shows that the adults are holding the pearls of wisdom and grasping them fully. Today, the bandits attacked the city with all their might, but they returned in vain, but instead lost thousands of lives, and withdrew their troops in disgrace, as if to prove the people's opinion, even if they are fierce bandits, they are not the opponents of the great men descended from the gods.

Ren San heard that the enemy army failed to attack the city, but lost thousands of soldiers and horses, and he couldn't help but deeply admire this magistrate, he was also born in the army, and he also understood that the enemy army went all out today, and did not break through the city, it seems that the city is basically defended, and he and others have no worries about their lives.

Ren San, who put his heart at ease, after eating porridge, talked and laughed with Yueniang, he went south and north when he was young, and he knew a lot about the customs and customs of various places, this time he was in a relaxed mood, and talked eloquently, talking about the folk customs and customs of various places in the northwest, and the head was the way, and Yueniang nodded frequently, and said: "Brother Ren is really an insightful person, and he has been to so many places." ”

Ren San laughed, and was about to continue, when suddenly there was a commotion in front of him, and then someone shouted loudly: "Lord Zhixian has arrived, please come forward and listen to Lord Zhixian speak." ”

When Ren San heard this, an ominous premonition rose in his heart, he stood up gently, gave Yueniang a look, signaled her to rest assured, and went to the vicinity of the high platform in the center of the market, and heard that the magistrate was there.

Wu Yunlin stood on the high platform, looking at the bustling crowd below, looking at the people's enthusiastic and loving eyes, and his heart was also quite touched, if it wasn't for the last resort, he really didn't want these untrained men to go to act as a bait for suspicious soldiers, but the enemy army was strong, and there was no other way to do it, if only one or two thousand more people were recruited before, Wu Yunlin thought secretly.

Seeing that the crowd had gathered, Wu Yunlin said loudly: "Fathers and fellow villagers, the official's name is Wu Yunlin, and he is the local magistrate. ”

One of the people in the crowd suddenly shouted to Wu Yunlin: "My lord, what is the current situation?" Can our army hold Zunyi County? ”

When Wu Yunlin heard this, he first glanced at the people below, they looked at him one by one with hope, hoping that he would be able to say affirmative words, and then remembered Wei Qi's advice just now, and his heart was suddenly at a loss.

Seeing that the county magistrate had not spoken for a long time, everyone suddenly felt uneasy in their hearts, and there was a commotion in the crowd.

Wu Yunlin came back to his senses, sighed, and said to them: "The enemy army is strong, I'm afraid the city will be broken tomorrow!" Wu Yunlin's short sentence immediately caused a panic below, and the people were a little commotion, and they could still hear the crying of children and women.

Wu Yunlin suddenly shouted again: "Everyone is quiet, although so, there is still a turnaround." ”

When everyone heard this, they immediately quieted down again, quietly waiting for Wu Yunlin to continue, Wu Yunlin said slowly: "The thief wolf is ambitious, come to my Zunyi, in order to rob our property, rob our women, and plunder you as slaves, Zunyi County is now in a mess, and there have been spies who have reported that the thieves have slaughtered the village more than once on the way here, and the slaughtered village has no one alive, and the property has been robbed, just like hell on earth." ”
