The wharf of Huikou Town was taken back by the Wanli Sunshine almost instantly.

The scumbags of the officers and soldiers in the back took a look: Huh? Good thick thighs. Hurry up and hold on!

The officers and men of the "Caojiang" Naval Division, who did not dare to advance, now dared to move forward, and rushed forward with shouts and shouts following behind the Wanli Sunshine. The sound is loud, but ...... In fact, it is still some distance away from the battlefield, just like when the bewitched boy fights in a group, the fiercest shouting is in the back, and the one who rushes in front slashes people with a watermelon knife in a muffled voice.

The Sunshine sits on the docks to disperse the water thieves.

The Caojiang sailor finally approached the shore, and the guards carried on the boat jumped to the shore in a brush......

Although these guards are as good as chickens, they still have a great impact on the situation of the entire battlefield.

The morale of the militia in Huikou Town was greatly boosted, and the squire guarding the city shouted: "The officers and soldiers are coming, the officers and soldiers are coming, everyone hold on, and they are about to win." ”

The motivation of the militia has soared, and the people who helped the militia to fight have also worked harder, desperately transporting rolling logs, stones, boiling oil, and boiling water to the town wall......

And the thieves also panicked a little, and the offensive slowed down.

The leader of the leading thief army is named King Taiping (a historical figure), a favorite general under the command of the Eight Kings, who once followed the Eight Kings to attack Fengyang and dug the ancestral grave of the Zhu family, and he is also a ruthless character.

He turned his head to look at the dock, and the first thing he saw was the tall and mighty Sunshine.

"Fuck, it's a big boat." King Taiping said in astonishment: "The Yangtze River is really a place of cattle pens, much more powerful than the Yellow River we used to mix, are the boats here so big?" ”

The subordinate Khan said: "Big brother, even if such a big ship is in the Yangtze River, there is no such big ship, I don't know where it came from." ”

King Taiping: "Damn, is this ship very powerful?" The Huangmei thieves all ran away. ”

"Big brother, it seems to be really powerful, the ship is full of firecrackers."

As soon as he heard the three words of the fire gun, King Taiping's brows furrowed.

It's not the first time that the Eight Kings have fought with the Fire Guns.

In the long process of rebellion, they have encountered several Gaojia villagers, the earliest of which can be traced back to the battle of the bridgehead of the Longmen Yellow River Bridge.

At that time, the Taiping Wang's department was in the vanguard of the bridge, and his subordinates picked up the dead bodies of their companions as meat shields and attacked the bridge, but were finally repelled by Cheng Xu's reinforcements.

Thinking of this, King Taiping suddenly woke up: "Oh no, could it be that strange firecracker army again?" Quick, pay attention to the interval between the firebolts' attacks. ”

He pricked up his ears and listened carefully.

Soon after hearing the sound of a "bang bang" fire, it didn't take long for the second round of "bang bang bang" to start again.

King Taiping slapped his thigh suddenly: "It's them again, it's wrong, it's that group of guys, only their firearms, and the interval between fights is so short." ”

Subordinate: "Boss, what should we do now?" ”

King Taiping rolled his eyes: "Withdraw!" ”

The thief army that surrounded the town of Huikou hurriedly retreated to the north, away from the Yangtze River.

The Gao family villagers can't be too far away from the ship, if they leave the Wanli Sunshine to pursue the thieves on the shore, and the Huangmei water thieves return and snatch the Wanli Sunshine away, it will be a big deal.

The Gao family villagers had no choice but to withdraw and stay on the boat.

The river master also stayed in his own boat.

At this time, it should have been An Qingwei's soldiers in charge of the pursuit, however, An Qingwei's fighting spirit was low, and his fear of war was extremely strong, so he had no ability to pursue, so everyone had to watch the Taiping Wang's troops flee in the direction of Longgan Lake and Daguan Lake in the north.

Shi Lang picked up a spear and wanted to pursue, but after chasing a few steps, he found that no one was following behind him, and when he looked back, all the officers and soldiers were just shouting, but their feet were not moving.

His movements were frozen as if he had been pointed.

With a long sigh, he lowered his head, retreated to Shi Kefa's side, and said in a low voice: "Master Shi, I finally understand why the rogues have been unable to be exterminated repeatedly, and they have always been able to escape from the hands of officers and soldiers. ”

Shi Kefa: "Got it?" Over the years, after experiencing such things repeatedly, the official has slowly understood. ”

Shi Lang: "If the officers and soldiers are willing to fight, how can the rogue be ......?"

Shi Kefa sighed: "Things are not so simple, Tianzun said that Liukou is not a military problem, it is a social problem, and this official thinks so." ”

Shi Lang: "??? ”

Shi Kefa patted him on the shoulder: "You are still young, you can't understand this." In short, remember one thing, military problems can be solved by fighting. But social problems cannot be solved by fighting. Even if we catch up and kill the Taiping King, we will wipe out all this stream of rogues. But as long as there are still problems in society, in a few days, there will be another stream of rogues, and there will be no peace in the east and west. ”

Shi Lang really doesn't understand this, but it doesn't matter, all he wants to do is a soldier, no matter what problems there are so many military talents, a soldier just needs to win the war, and if he wins the war, he is a good soldier, and if he can't win, it's not, it's as simple as that.

In his eyes, the officers and soldiers are obviously not good soldiers, but the militia on this side looks shining, which is what a soldier should look like in his mind.

Soon after, everyone returned to the barracks in Anqing again.

Shi Lang stood in front of Jiang Cheng and Tie Bird Fei for the second time.

"Jiang Jiaoxi, the kid has thought clearly."

"Oh?" Jiang Cheng smiled: "What do you decide?" ”

Shi Lang said with a serious face: "The kid wants to join the militia group." ”

Jiang Cheng smiled: "Welcome! Well, from tomorrow onwards, you will start taking ideological and political classes. ”

Shi Lang: "Huh? What? Isn't it a training session? ”

"No, no, no!" Jiang Cheng said: "I told you everything, we have a lot of rules here, the first rule for joining the army is to learn ideological and political classes first, and those who don't learn well don't even have the qualifications to touch the firecracker." ”

Shi Lang Khan.

It's because he doesn't like to read, so he runs to practice martial arts, but he didn't expect to end up sitting in the classroom to listen to the class, embarrassing, embarrassing.

That night, Shi Lang stayed in the barracks, and was also allocated a tent and a set of standard clothes for the militia, but was not allocated firearms and ammunition.

And he also enjoyed the unique "luncheon meat" of the Gao family villagers, which attracted him far more than smoked old bacon.

Children prefer luncheon meat, not only in modern times, but also in ancient times, and Shi Lang is still a child now, in his opinion, what is so strange about smoked old bacon? I also have it at home, but it's luncheon meat, which is delicious for the thief.
