Chapter 251: The Township Soldiers Arrived
Shi Jingjiao and the others rushed towards the rabble of Li Zheng and others with an aggressive momentum, horizontal swords and swords.
There was a constant howl: "Their gang must be the fugitives who killed the officers and soldiers, and they must not be let ......!"
Among these people, except for the one who could compete with Shi Jingjiao and the others a little, the others were simply vulnerable.
And these people can't work hard for him, and they don't earn this money.
They only wanted to help Li Zheng arrest Shi Jingjiao and others, mainly from their own point of view.
He thought that if he had taken down the people, he would be able to repay the silver and horses that they had lost.
However, their wishful thinking was wrong, what kind of person they are, can they be compared with Shi Jingjiao and others? It is really ridiculous!
And these people basically belong to the reckless men of the village, and they will only use that blind force.
The kung fu of the triangle cat that he learned from others will be able to do that trick and two styles, and he will not have any actual combat effect at all, just put on that posture to scare and scare those who don't know how to do it.
The strong man who had just been kicked by the fat guy in the crotch of his pants, the pain was a little too much this time, it was really good that the scar forgot the pain, and he got up from the ground, and wanted to shake his majesty in front of the shopkeeper and show his ability.
And to avenge the shameful hatred which he has just received. Holding the door pole in his hand, he kept bluffing and shouting.
And he danced the pole of the door, and whirled in the wind, and leaped forward and struck at the multitude.
And shouted: "Bold fanatic, where to go?!"
The thin man who was walking in front of him like a bamboo pole, seeing him rushing up, angrily pulled out the sword in his waist, and slashed at the top door pole that he swung down.
only heard a "snap", and the strong man looked at the top door bar in his hand again, and half of it was missing. He screamed, and instinctively panicked and hit the half-cut top door pole in his hand towards the thin man who looked like a bamboo pole.
The thin man who looked like a bamboo pole raised his sword and fell, and there was a "snap", and the strong man looked at the top door bar in his hand, only the half of the sword was held in his hand, and if the sword was a little more deviated, his whole hand would be gone.
He screamed in surprise, threw out the remaining top door pole in his hand in a panic, turned around and fled out of the door.
The retinue who had just shot down the sword by the fat guy had picked up the sword from the ground.
Gritted his teeth and gritted the sword, for fear of being shocked out by him again. Wielding his sword, he blocked the footsteps of Shi Jingjiao and the others.
When the bearded guy saw this, he waved the big knife in his hand angrily, and the sound of the "whooshing" wind sounded, and there was a crisp sound of "clanging", and sparks splashed everywhere.
The sword in the hand of the retinue was held, but the tiger's mouth ached for a while, and then looked at the sword in his hand, there was only half of it left, and it had no effect at all.
With a scream of "whoosh" and a sound of "dang", the half of the sword in his hand fell to the ground.
At this time, the fat guy who was pulling the girl in his hand felt that something was wrong, and seemed to feel that something was missing. slapped his head, exclaimed, and quickly turned around. The girl followed in horror.
I saw that he had pulled up his pocket, and kept pulling the silver from the table into the pocket.
Then he realized that he had returned to fetch the money, and he hurried up to help.
After a while, the two of them hurried back, and saw that they were still dancing the long sword in their hands without giving up, blocking everyone.
Shi Jingjiao brandished the heavy big knife and rushed out with an unstoppable momentum.
When the fat guy saw this, he hurriedly took the girl's hand, carried the bag of silver, and rushed out.
The man who retreated outside kept shouting, "Don't let these thieves escape, catch them ......!"
However, they just sat and shouted in a paralyzed circle, and none of them dared to really rush forward to stop them.
Shi Jingjiao, who ran outside, looked at it, and hurriedly told Zhang Daochang, who was following closely beside him: "Quick, lead the brothers on the horse, I'll break the back!"
When the Taoist Zhang heard Shi Jingjiao's words, he took a look and saw that there were indeed a few horses tied under the tree outside the store. I'm happy, now it's good, no more bothering to hurry!
Hurriedly agreed: "Okay——!" led a few people to run towards the horses under the tree.
Shi Jingjiao brandished the big knife and stopped everyone from rushing over to make trouble.
There were only five horses under the tree.
The thin, bamboo-like man and the bearded guy each jumped on a horse. Zhang Daochang also jumped on a horse.
The fat guy picked up the girl on a horse, and the girl screamed in fright.
It turned out that he couldn't ride a horse. The fat guy found that there was just one horse left, and if he rode it himself, then Shi Jingjiao would have no horse to ride.
At this time, he didn't care much, so he jumped on the girl's horse at once, hugged the girl tightly to his chest, and shouted loudly: "Brother Shi, hurry up and get on the horse, don't entangle with them anymore......!"
Shi Jingjiao heard that he looked back and saw that everyone was riding on a horse, and his heart began to settle down.
"Okay——! brandished the big knife, rolled up the gust of wind, and roared to the inside.
He drove the crowd out of the room, and then quickly turned and galloped towards the last horse.
Before he could get his horse, he sprang into the air, jumped on his horse, and took the reins.
The horse was already galloping impatiently after the horse that was running in front of him.
Throw down the inside behind him, waiting for everyone to keep shouting and shouting.
Shi Jingjiao hit the horse and just caught up with everyone, but saw a team of people rushing towards him.
Shi Jingjiao and the others were not only shocked, but who were these people?
It turned out that in the battle just now, the shopkeeper insulted the proprietress and the proprietress left in a rage.
But with so many people dancing and swords in her shop, she could rest assured that she would hide in the back of the room and probe her brain.
Seeing that things were getting more and more serious, especially the strong man who was good at her, when she was trampled under the feet of the fat guy, she was even more angry.
I think these people are too much, and they are bullied to the home, isn't this on people's necks?
She was so angry that she hurriedly ran out of the back door and went to the official office to report the news, so that the officers and soldiers could clean up their group of lawless guys.
When she hurried to the official office, there was not a single ghost outside here, where did this person go?
He walked to the backyard. When I arrived in the backyard, I saw a clean Qingli Washe under the shade of green trees.
When she walked over, and was about to push the door in, there was a humming sound from inside, and she didn't care so much, and slammed the door vigorously.
The humming voice in "Who——?!" immediately stopped, and an impatient voice came out.
"Official, I'm in a hurry to report to you!"
After a long time, the door creaked open, and a person dressed as an official came out of it, "What's the matter?" The man who came out buttoned his clothes and said angrily.
The proprietress caught a glimpse of a woman dressed in bells and whistles on the bed in the room, dressed in a panic.
When the man saw that the proprietress looked straight into the house, he said angrily: "What are you looking at? I am working on a case early in the morning! There was a murder in the 'Yixiangyuan' at the east end of this town last night, and I am interrogating the prostitutes there!"
This proprietress said to herself, you fool, this interrogation can still be interrogated to the bed!
But she was not in the mood to listen to these things now, she had something to do. I hurriedly told him what happened in this store, and when this guy heard it, it was still in here, and it was okay!
And maybe it was the gang of guys who killed the officers and soldiers? He felt that his opportunity to make meritorious service had come.
If you catch those people in your own hands, you may be able to survive several levels in a row!
It was really an opportunity, he hurriedly carried the gong out and knocked it for a while, and after a while, the personnel were gathered.
When the villagers heard the sound of the gong, they knew that there was an emergency, and they rushed from their homes with spears and knives.
The township soldiers are non-full-time armed forces formed by residents who are automatically organized or formed. Also known as the militia.
Since the Tang Dynasty replaced the government soldiers with recruitment, during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, due to frequent wars, although the countries raised many soldiers, they were still not enough, and the hometown military system was more valued, and it developed on the basis of the previous generation, and became an important force in addition to the central forbidden army and the Fang Zhen army.
Began to recruit township soldiers, stipulating that each tax household should send a total of one soldier, prepare their own ordnance, and set up township soldiers of various numbers, among which except for the armor that spreads throughout the country, the township soldiers of other numbers are regional.
Township soldiers are different from forbidden soldiers and box soldiers, and they are not separated from production. Most of the township soldiers are conscripted, and generally one of the strong men is selected to serve as a strong man, and the farmers are regularly reviewed, and some money and food are distributed during the school review.
A small number of village soldiers were recruits, recruiting archers to reclaim wasteland and cultivate land, pay land rent, and protect the border land.
Some of the township soldiers adopt the command of the forbidden army and the establishment of the capital, and some follow the law of protecting the armor, with five people as a small guarantee, five small guarantees as a large guarantee, and ten major guarantees as a metropolitan guarantee, divided into large and small security chiefs and capital and deputy security; Some adopted Li Jing's art of war in the early Tang Dynasty, with a team of 50 people.
The township soldiers are an army set up to maintain local law and order and make up for the shortage of soldiers in wartime. Township soldiers appeared in the Western Wei and Northern Anniversaries, and the Sui and Tang dynasties continued to follow them.
When Zhang Quanyi of the Later Liang Dynasty recruited people in Luoyang, he selected Ding Zhuang and taught him to defend the countryside with bows and arrows, which was essentially a township soldier who also cultivated and fought. At the end of the Liang Dynasty, Emperor Zhao "sent one soldier from ten households, and prepared his own armor", and at the end of the Liang Dynasty, "transferred seven households to send one soldier".
In the dispute between Liang and Jin, the king of Jin repeatedly sent village soldiers to participate in the war. For example, in order to relieve the siege of Luzhou, Na Hou Li lured the Northern Tibetan tribes and fought a decisive battle in the south with Ding Zhuang in his territory.
At this time, the captain of the township soldiers saw Shi Jingjiao and the others rushing towards him, and the people behind him kept shouting, "Don't let the thieves run away......!"
He knew that there was no doubt that it was these people, so he raised his gun excitedly and immediately shouted: "Bold thief, where can I escape......
