In Tong'an County, a hundred miles west of Jiangzhou County, a horse in red armor galloped all the way into the south city gate, went straight to the county office, and reported to Luo Zhengyong, the county governor of Tong'an, that there was an emergency military situation, and an unknown team in the southwest direction was rapidly driving towards Tong'an County, which was less than 30 miles away from Tong'an County, and that team had at least 3,000 people.

When Luo Zhengyong, the magistrate of the county, heard the news, his face was as shocked as earth, and he immediately lit up the county's nearly 2,000 garrisons to go to the city to protect, and at the same time the four gates were closed, the suspension bridge was put away, and someone was sent to the regimental training branch to ask Tong Liang to teach the head. As soon as Luo Zhengyong made arrangements, the unknown team had arrived outside the south gate of Tong'an County, but it turned out to be a group of well-armed bandits, shouting outside the city to attack the city under the banner of Flame Mountain Village.

Luo Zhixian stood at the head of the city, marveling at how powerful this bandit was, but he saw dust flying in the distance, and a larger group of bandits also came later, it turned out that the three thousand bandits were only forward troops. Luo Zhixian looked at the black bandits outside the city, and almost fell from the city in fright, and shouted repeatedly: "Go and ask the head of the Tong sect!"

Yesterday afternoon, Tong Liang, the head of the Jiangzhou regimental training department, came to the regimental training branch in Tong'an County to inspect the recruitment and training of the regimental training branch.

Tong Liang and Dou Yannian were on the martial arts exercise ground of the regimental training branch, and Huang Jiaotou of the regimental training branch took Li Dazhui and his subordinates to practice the formation bravely, only to see Wang Qi, a county official, panting and running to the small stand of the martial arts field, and shouted loudly: "Tong Jiaotou, Tong Jiaotou, there are a large number of bandits outside the city, the county magistrate has led the men and horses to the south gate, and the soldiers have gone to the city wall to protect them, and the little ones came to invite Tong Jiaotou!"

Tong Liang, who was watching the formation drill, was stunned for a moment, a large number of bandits were in the territory? This is good! Just when he was worried that there was no place to train his troops, someone sent them to the door! Tong Liang stood up, first asked Lian Yong to stop the formation drill, and then asked the official with a big grin: "How many bandits are there? Can you surprise the magistrate like this?"

Wang Qi stuck out his tongue and said, "I haven't seen the small one, but I heard that there are at least three thousand bandits!"

Li Da Hammer had sharp ears, and when he heard that there were bandits in the realm, he was happy, and it was great to have bandits, and isn't it just to beat people up every day? Now he can practice with bandits! Li Da Hammer walked in three steps and two steps, jumped into the stands with a hippie smile, and asked happily with a big iron rod: "Three thousand bandits? Great! I am worried that I have no place to exert my strength!"

Tong Liang was taken aback, "How many bandits are there? Three thousand? Where are these bandits coming from! So many bandits, are they preparing to capture Tong'an County?" Dou Yannian on the side was also taken aback, and three thousand people came at once, so this must be a big cottage!

A few people were shouting, and another official Bai Wuqiang Pegasus arrived, only to see that Bai Wuqiang, the official Bai Wuqiang's face was colorless, "Tong Jiaotou, the magistrate is invited! There are more than 3,000 bandits outside the city, and those 3,000 people are just the vanguard troops! Those bandits who come from behind cover the sky and the sun, at least more than 10,000! My God, I have never seen so many bandits in my life!"

Tong Liang almost jumped up in shock, "What?!More than 10,000 bandits?!Which cottage has so many bandits?Are you sure it's bandits?"

Bai Wuqiang, the official nodded,

With a crying voice, he said: "Tong Jiaotou, you can't be wrong! I just went to the city with the magistrate, and those people outside the city are indeed bandits! Not the uniform of the regular army! If the county town is broken now, we will all be swallowed alive by the bandits!"

Tong Liang calmed down and shouted: "Don't panic! Li Dazhui, order Lian Yong, we have to go to the South City Gate and prepare for protection!" Li Da Hammer agreed, took the Lian Yong to the arsenal of the regimental training branch, distributed weapons, prepared bows, crossbows, arrows, and shields, and went to the South City Gate to participate in the battle.

Tong Liang and Dou Yannian rode out of the regimental training branch and went straight to the south gate of the county seat, Tong Liang's heart was beating drums all the way, and he secretly said in his heart, how could there be tens of thousands of thieves in Tong'an County, unheard of, don't be the people and horses of the King of Pingxi pretending to be bandits, right? Yin Quan wanted to rebel so soon?

The two soon came to the south city gate, and quickly climbed the city gate tower, only to see Luo Zhixian was panicking and trembling at the head of the city, Luo Zhixian turned around and saw Tong Liang and Dou Yannian, and saw the savior, so he hurriedly came over and took Tong Liang's hand, "Oh, Tong Jiaotou, the thief is powerful! This county is really hard to support alone, thank God, fortunately, you and Dou Jiaotou are here!"

Tong Liang patted Luo Zhixian on the shoulder, "Lord Luo, don't panic, come, let me see!" Tong Liang and Dou Yannian came to the battlement of the city tower and looked down, good guy, the flat land outside the city is a few miles square, and the whole world is full of bandits, divided into several teams, and is making preliminary preparations for the siege, Tong Liang is secretly frightened, there are indeed tens of thousands of soldiers and horses on the opposite side.

There is a bearded bandit leader riding on a tall horse under the city, about a stone's throw away from the south city gate, followed by forty or fifty strong men, carrying swords and bows, all of them are violent, the bearded bandit leader saw the body of several people exposed on the city tower, and there were people behind him, obviously officials in the city.

The bearded bandit leader shouted: "The stolen officials in the city listen to Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu is a good man in the Flame Mountain, come to borrow some money and food from you, and limit you to open the city and surrender within one hour, Lao Tzu will spare you from dying, otherwise, when Lao Tzu breaks the city, he will kill all the people in the city, regardless of age or age!"

Luo Zhixian heard that the bandit leader was so intimidated, and he was suddenly frightened, and looked at Tong Liang pitifully, "Tong Jiaotou, what should we do?"

Tong Liang smiled coldly, "Lord Luo, don't be afraid, the soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth! Isn't it just a bandit with ten thousand hands? We have soldiers in the city, we have to have generals, he has a way to attack the city, we have a strategy to defend against the enemy, prepare more shields, bows, crossbows, rolling wooden stones, if he wants to attack us, he will defend, just fight, who is afraid of whom? Do you really think that they will let us go if we open the city and surrender?"

Luozhi County heard Tong Liang say this, and only then did he have a little backbone. Tong Liang stood at the head of the city and laughed loudly: "My son, if you want to attack the city, you will come! Who is afraid of whom! Come and come, if you don't come to attack the city, you are my own son!"

The bearded bandit leader listened to Tong Liang's words, was furious, and waved his hand behind him, "Release the arrow!" A sharpshooter behind him turned out, bent a strong bow at Tong Liang, and shot an arrow, the archer was extremely strong, and an arrow shot at Tong Liang's face, the arrow was as fast as a meteor and as fast as lightning, and he was about to shoot Tong Liang, Tong Liang seemed to be scared stupid, and he didn't even dodge.

Said that it was too late and that was fast, Tong Liang's left side stretched out a rough hand, in

When the arrow was still an inch away from Tong Liang's face door, he firmly grabbed the carved arrow, and then threw it back with his backhand, the archer was caught off guard, and immediately turned over and fell off the horse, and there was an uproar in the city, only to see that the person who grabbed the eagle arrow and killed the archer with his backhand was the invincible Dou Yannian.

The bearded bandit leader was shocked and angry, he wanted to sneak attack Liwei, but he didn't expect that stealing chickens would not make it a loss of rice, it turned out that there was a master hidden on the opposite side? The soldiers in the city couldn't help cheering, and their morale was immediately boosted, but the bandits under the city were disgraced by this counterattack, and the archer never dreamed that he would die before he could get out of the army.

Tong Liang smiled: "My son, your sneak attack method is really disgraceful!"

The bearded bandit's face was hideous, and he waved his hand and said, "Above, fill in the moat for me!" This bearded bandit leader is Hao Zhengtong, a Mingwei general under Yin Quan, disguised as a bandit leader and led 15,000 men and horses to attack the small county town of Tong'an. Hao Zhengtong didn't take this small county town seriously at all, and he didn't even bring all the siege equipment, he thought that if his tens of thousands of soldiers pressed the border, these people in the county town would have to abandon the city and flee in fear.

How could you have thought that these people not only did not flee, but also called for a battle in the city, which was simply unbearable?

A large group of bandits drove thousands of people captive from the villages outside the city, and had them push dozens of box carts loaded with earth and stones to the moat, which were covered on three sides to effectively protect against bows and arrows in the city. When the bandits passed through Hejia Village outside the city, they took all the young and middle-aged people from these villages captive, and wanted them to fill in the moat, and then prepare to build a bridge to cross the moat. If someone in the city fires arrows, they will kill the common people, and they can also consume the arrows in the city.

Last time, in order to save Tong Liang, Yang Quansheng slaughtered dozens of cavalry under Yin Quan, and after Shi Cuihua's family finished harvesting the crops, they moved in fear and moved to Tong'an City, so this time the bandits robbed the people, and the Shi family escaped by luck.

Fortunately, after Tong Liang came to Jiangzhou to be the head of the group training, he thought that the moat in Tong'an County was too narrow, and hired many local people, and he personally took the people to start digging the moat from four zhang to seven zhang, which was completed a month ago, but he didn't expect it to come in handy today, and this little effort was really not in vain.

The people of the city were driven away, pushing wagons to try to fill the moat, the soldiers of the city selectively fired arrows, shooting down some of the people who filled the earth, and those outside the city who tried to fill the moat were afraid of death, and their movements immediately slowed down. Hao Zheng, the general of Mingwei who was disguised as the leader of the bandits, jumped like thunder, personally stepped forward, raised his knife and hacked several civilians to death, and asked his lieutenant to force those civilians forward to die.

Tong Liang watched those people come up to die in the city, and his heart was like a knife. Looking back, Li Da Hammer just took Lian Yong to the city, Tong Liang asked the soldiers guarding the city not to release arrows first, discussed with Luo Zhi County, and selected a hundred voluntary death squads between Lian Yong and the soldiers, gave more gold and silver, and Li Da Hammer took him out of the city to attack the bandits who drove the people to fill the moat.

Li Da Hammer rushed to carry a big stick, led a hundred death squads to feast on the battle, gathered a hundred war horses in the city, and a hundred cavalry went out of the city with lightning speed, and attacked those bandits. Those bandits never expected that these people in the city would dare to fight back and immediately make a mess.
