Hedong City, the south gate winch, immediately started a big battle.

Hundreds of guards hurried out of the barracks, picked up their weapons and rushed to the city gate, some of them did not even have time to put on cotton armor, only wore a cloth coat, and even more bare-chested.

The two hundred people led by Chen Baihu shrank into a ball, put on a defensive posture, and held the winch. The space here is not spacious, just a small platform above the side of the city gate, in fact, there are not many people standing at all, so Chen Baihu's subordinates are more on the stairs and passages leading to this small platform.

This kind of relatively narrow place is just right for a few.

The soldiers of the Guyuan border army set up a spear formation on the ladder, and dozens of spears were facing the ladder, and the people below could not rush up at all.

The bravery of the guards did not reach the level of being able to charge the spear formation head-on.

An archer climbed up the city tower next to him, wanting to release arrows at the border army on the stairs, but saw Chen Baihu raise his right hand, the crossbow made a buzzing sound, and the archers on the city tower fell to the sky.

"Kill them!" The salt division roared hoarsely: "They guard the winch, they won't let us close the door, and someone will come outside." ”

He didn't guess wrong!

In the night in the distance just now, it was the other more than 400 Guyuan border soldiers under Chen Baihu who deliberately lit thousands of torches, and now they are killing towards Hedong City at the fastest speed.

As long as Chen Baihu can guard the winch and prevent the people in the city from closing the city gate, the more than 400 people can easily enter the city.

The total number of officers and soldiers stationed in Hedong Province is 1,000, of course, as you know, the claim is 1,000 people, but in fact there are only 600 people, and the salt department eats the empty salary of 400 people.

Ordinary military attachés, after eating the empty salary of 400 people, will raise 200 domestic soldiers, and use the strong combat effectiveness of domestic soldiers to ensure the missing combat power.

But the Salt Division does not raise so many families, this Hedong Province usually manages the salt transportation, catches the salt lords, and never fights tough battles. He was reluctant to spend this money.

There are less than fifty elite soldiers around him who can really fight.

But there are more than 600 people under Chen Baihu's command, all of whom can fight.

The guards who are timid and afraid of death and have low morale can usually take the kickbacks of the salt lords, and it is no problem to bully the saltsmiths, but now in the face of the border army, they have no strength to fight at all, and the small ladder cannot be attacked.

The archers on both sides were supposed to go up, but a few of the archers were shot down by the border army as soon as they came up, and the other archers were afraid of death and did not dare to go up.

A tug-of-war broke out at the winch position.

The shouting of killing outside the city shook the sky, and more than 400 other people were hurrying towards this side, and the salt division glanced outside the city, and saw a large number of torches approaching, and this time the soul was half frightened.

roared loudly: "What about Tian Shenglan and Zhai Tang? Their escort is very good, go and call them to help. ”

In fact, there was no need for him to shout, the two Jin merchants had already been awakened by the shouting of killing.

The two of them came out of the official residence of the Salt Division with their own escorts, and immediately ran in the direction of the city gate.

Far away, they could see clearly through the light on the city wall, a team wearing the uniforms of the Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers was guarding the winch, and the people of the Salt Division were besieging the group of people, trying to recapture the winch.

The two sides did not fight very fiercely, because the people of the Salt Division did not dare to rush at all.

Zhai Tang sneered: "Brother Tian, in this situation, do we mix or not?" ”

Another Jin merchant named Tian Shenglan shook his head with a smile: "Of course not!" Look at the team guarding the winch, it is obvious that it is a strong army, with a degree of cooperation and bravery. If I'm not bad, this should be a border army that has defected into the rogues. They guarded the city gates, and soon there would be thousands of rogues outside the city, and this small Hedong City was already a dead end. ”

Zhai Tang: "What Brother Tian said is reasonable, then let's withdraw quickly, if the withdrawal is slow, we will be blocked in this small broken city by the army of rogues." ”

The two Jin merchants immediately led the escort and ran towards the north gate of Hedong City.

At this time, the north gate was closed, and it was impossible for the gatekeepers to open the door, but the two Jin merchants smashed the silver on the gatekeepers, and the gatekeepers wrangled open the city gate, and the two Jin merchants immediately left.

The salt division waited for the two Jin merchants to bring the guards to help, but waited for the return of the subordinates: "My lord, it's not good, the two Jin merchants ran away with people." ”

Salt Division: "Holy shit! These two dog days. ”

The salt division also wanted to run, but he couldn't run, desperately resisting the rogues might still have a chance of life, if he ran away, the court would investigate it afterwards, and he would cut off his head with a click, and he didn't even have a chance to live.

The salt division had no choice but to yell at his subordinates again: "The nearest officer, where are the officers and soldiers who can come to save us?" ”

The subordinate said: "Puzhou, Puzhou guards Xing Red Wolf." ”

Salt Division: "Holy shit, it's a salt lord." But forget it, it doesn't matter who she is, she is a good person who can save her own official, go and call her to reinforce Hedong City. ”

The subordinates thought to themselves: Puzhou City is here, more than 150 miles back and forth, and when I call Xing Hongwolf, the daylily will be cold. But forget it, it's good that I take this opportunity to run out, it's better than to bury Lord Shioji.

His subordinates happily mounted their horses, opened the west gate and ran out.

The battle at the gates continued......

Chen Baihu's 200 people held the winch to the death, and the subordinates of the salt division couldn't attack it, and then, more than 400 people in the back arrived, and in the strange howl, more than 400 brave border troops rushed in from the wide open city gate.

The Salt Division also sent a hundred people to resist at the gate of the city, but it was useless, and the low-powered guards could not stop the border army who were not afraid of death.

Wave!

After only one wave, more than 400 follow-up people entered the city.

"Kill!"

"Kill the dog officer and grab the salt."

"Pay me back my hard-earned salary!"

"Use the salt here to pay the military salary that the court owes me."

The Guyuan Border Army rebelled because the court was in arrears of military salaries, and now they are shouting such a slogan, which is really affectionate and dedicated, and there is no need to act at all, because they themselves are dramas.

Shouting and shouting, old hatred welled up in my heart.

Chen Baihu pointed at the salt division with a command knife and shouted: "Brothers, how hard we have lived over the years, we are all fucking corrupt officials!" We are blowing a cold wind on the border, but this salt division is enjoying Qingfu in the Central Plains Flower World, damn it, I don't accept it. ”

The border soldiers shouted: "Dissatisfied! ”

"Chop him!"

"Chop him!"

"Chop the knife into meat sauce!"

More than 600 border troops converged together, full of fighting spirit, and killed the salt division.
