Chapter Eighty-Seven: Into the City
Wang Feng bumped into the county magistrate who was driven out of the wind and fire and there were three patrol masters, followed by hundreds of thousands, since the last time there was a rebellion in the city, these recruited townsmen were raised by the county magistrate and the big households in the city or the landlords who fled from the surrounding areas.
Now it's finally a place to play.
"Lord Zhixian, there are chaotic people outside the city to attack, and the city gate has been lost!"
Wang Feng screamed sadly, knelt on the ground like a singing opera, and said with a miserable face.
When Li Zhixian and the governor and others heard this, they were immediately shocked, the city gate was lost so quickly? Although the county seat of Yanchuan is not high, it is not so easy to be attacked by the chaotic people.
"How many people are there outside the door, and where are they now?"
Li Zhixian hurriedly asked, the city wall is estimated to have been touched in, or there are thieves inside and outside, and those garrisons should be killed.
It's useless to think about this at the moment, the most important thing is how to resist these rebels who enter the city, and you must know that these rebels can kill wherever they go.
"If you go back to the county, it is estimated that... It is estimated that there are 1,000 people, and now Captain Li has led people to resist in the city..."
Wang Feng replied, he didn't know how many people there were, but listening to the shouts of killing outside the door, I was afraid that there were no less than a thousand people.
"Thousands of people," Li Zhixian breathed a sigh of relief, the scale was not too big, but he couldn't take it lightly, "Come on, go to the big families in the city, and let them come up with more money and food to mobilize the people in the city." ”
"One more person, go and tell the people in the west of the city to take up weapons at home to resist, the chaotic people are brutal, they will kill wherever they go, and if they let the chaotic people come in and wantonly slaughter, they will all die."
The magistrate has also experienced two troubles, once in the city and one outside the city, all of which have been resolved, and now under his orderly handling, he should also be able to turn the danger into a disaster.
"It's just a pity that the horses were borrowed."
Li Zhixian said in his heart that it was a pity, there were not many horses in the city, if there were horses, he could form a cavalry team, just like the last time he dealt with the victims outside the city, which could be of great use.
It's just that the horses were borrowed yesterday.
"Quick, follow me to the east of the city and take the city gate," the magistrate rushed towards the east of the city with his team, and some people fled to the west of the city in a panic along the way.
After seeing the magistrate, they all stopped, "Folks, quickly pick up your weapons, those chaotic people are brutal, if you enter the city, your lives and property will not be guaranteed." ”
The magistrate shouted as he looked at the people who were about to go to the west of the city.
Some of the people showed hesitation on their faces, and what the magistrate said was indeed not wrong, but they had also heard about the brutality of those chaotic people.
"What if it's the Stove King who is attacking the city from outside?"
Someone muttered.
The surrounding people talked a lot, and the name of the Stove King spread to them.
"Yes, the King of the Stove is so good to the people, the old people and children have one or two stones of food, which family has so much food now?"
Someone said loudly.
Zhixian's face turned green when he heard this, and he was angry in his heart, "Benzhixian told you that yesterday Langzhong of the Jingshi Rite Department came here, borrowed a few fast horses, and prepared to report the situation of the anti-thieves here to the emperor, and in a short time, the emperor will send troops here, and the anti-thieves will be exterminated at that time." ”
"And the emperor will also help the people here, and you won't be hungry."
This sentence is half-true and half-false, Li Zhixian has no choice but to pull the banner of Tiger Pila, otherwise, not only will these people not help, but the villagers and soldiers behind them will probably defect to the enemy.
When the surrounding people heard this, they immediately did not dare to speak, in this era of absolute imperial power, the people are still very in awe of the emperor, and rebellion is a matter of killing heads.
Besides, I heard that the county knew that the emperor sent people to help the people, and they didn't have the intention of going to the king of the stove, after all, the people are like this, who will do the thing of losing their heads if they have a bite to eat, and although there are rumors of the king of the stove, no one has seen it with their own eyes, and everyone knows about the rebellion and killing the head.
"Now take up arms and resist those rebels with Benzhi County, otherwise, when the rebels enter the city, you and I will be the souls of the swords."
"Anyone who bravely resists the enemy with Benzhi County, after the battle, Benzhi County will definitely have a reward."
The magistrate even coaxed and deceived and scared, so that the young and strong men in the surrounding people followed their team, and the team expanded to more than 1,000 people.
Although most of them were young men with firewood knives, few were regular soldiers, and the few soldiers wore leather armor and held spears, and if you count carefully, the armor rate is even less than ten percent.
At present, it is extremely difficult for Yanchuan County to come up with so many soldiers with armor and weapons, and this is also due to the fact that Yanchuan is located in northern Shaanxi and has a special geographical location.
Looking at the more and more vast crowd behind him, Li Zhixian's heart was slightly relieved, he had already done everything he could, recruited young people in advance, and urged the main households in the county to donate money and food, it can be said that he was doing his best, he was not a military attaché, the three inspectors were, and after saying to the three inspectors that everything was careful, Li Zhixian retreated to the rear of the team.
The three inspectors didn't know what they were up against, but they felt that a team of more than a thousand people was enough to deal with the same number of thousands of rebels, after all, their team was a regular army.
Half of the more than 2,000 people have rushed into the city, and the heavenly soldiers rushed forward under the leadership of Yang Lichao Ren Hongli, who turned into infantry, Ren Hongli originally planned to wear armor in front of the city gate, but found that there was still no army defending the city within 100 meters due to his gaze, so he had no choice but to continue to move forward.
Since the last battle, the militia has hardly participated in any war, after Ren Zhuo was removed, the two captains and deputy captains were served by people with excellent training on weekdays, and the captain Wang Jiachang watched the heavenly soldiers rush forward, and then looked at the city wall above, there were dozens of patrolling soldiers above, Wang Jiachang turned his head to look at his subordinates, "You go and take fifty people to take down the city wall." ”
The task given by the Stove King was to take the city, and the heavenly soldiers rushed to the enemy, and their militia, led by the captain and deputy captain, assisted in clearing the defenders of the city.
Wang Jiachang looked forward, the heavenly soldiers were still rushing forward, they followed closely, the long street was narrow, the surrounding environment was complicated, and no matter how many troops there were in the front, they could not exert themselves.
"Why don't I personally take 300 men and spare them to the rear of the enemy and attack them front and back."
Wang Jiachang thought in his heart, suddenly felt that it was feasible, he looked at the deputy captain Zhang Tian, and asked him to continue to lead the troops to follow the heavenly soldiers to attack head-on, and he personally led the team to the rear of the enemy.
If it's successful, it's a big achievement.
The heavenly soldiers at the front finally saw the resistance army, and Ren Hongli immediately excitedly asked the four people with armor around him to assist him in putting on heavy armor and preparing to meet the enemy.
