The sun is rising, and a new day is coming.

The people of the city also woke up from their sleep, and although they knew that there were bandits outside the city, they had to take risks to work in order to survive, otherwise they might not even be able to survive the next year.

"Squeak", the old city gate emitted a tooth-souring sound.

"Kill!"

When the gates were fully opened, a burst of screams rang out.

The people who had just stepped out of the city gate were stunned, and they realized that there were already many water bandits lurking outside the city gate.

Seeing that the city gate was opened, these bandits rushed out one after another, and several civilians immediately died by their swords.

The rest of the people were also panicked, and quickly turned around and fled towards the city.

But the bandits refused to give up, and still chased after them, wanting to break into the city and kill them wantonly.

"Bang!"

As soon as he stepped into the city, one of them lay upright on the ground.

"Presumptuous. Even you water bandits, dare to be in the territory of my Red Phoenix Army?" Lei Min held a gun and said contemptuously.

Those people's hearts trembled, and they were also startled when they saw that their brothers' chests were full of blood, and they only heard the soft sound of the black iron rod, and their brothers fell to the ground, and they understood that the thing in the other party's hand should be the legendary gun.

Frightened by this, those people did not dare to stay, and withdrew like a tide.

"Whew. It's good to come in time, otherwise the loss would have been heavy. ”

Lei Min felt a little relieved, and saw that those people were all covered with blood, and he couldn't tell whether it was his own or someone else's, but he kept opening his mouth and shouting.

Listening to his grief, he hurriedly ordered his subordinates to take action and clean up the bodies of these dead people, and those who were injured and frightened were also carried to the city medicine hall for treatment.

Peace was restored at the gates.

However, at this moment, Zhang Wei also rushed here, and when he saw this scene, he immediately started a fire.

"What's going on?"

"It's the bandits. ”

"Water bandits, since you know it's a water bandit, why don't you chase it?"

Lei Min hurriedly responded: "I know." Immediately they ran out of the gate of the city with their men, and followed them in those footsteps, but after running for a few miles, they saw the bandits jump into the boats, and soon they shook their oars and left the shore.

"These guys are really well prepared!"

Although Lei Min wanted to continue the pursuit, he had no choice but to give up and return to the same place.

However, he just came back, and Zhang Wei split his head with a sentence.

"Did you catch them?"

Lei Min shook his head helplessly and replied, "I'm sorry, no!"

"No, since you don't, then what face do you have to continue to pestle here?" Zhang Wei's expression was slightly stunned, and even though he became hideous, he opened his mouth and scolded: "They are just some water bandits, and they have caused such heavy losses?

"No way. They are familiar with the terrain and can move around with the help of boats, and it is too difficult to catch them. Lei Min argued.

Zhang Wei refused to give up, and continued to ask: "Very good." Tell me, then, how did those bandits break into the city?"

"This. They lurked under the gates of the city by night, and we were not on guard, and they took advantage of them. Lei Min replied helplessly.

Zhang Wei's voice suddenly raised, and he shouted: "What are you talking about? You didn't even find it? You are also a student who graduated from the Red Phoenix Army, and you only have such a degree? You tell me, what are you going to do?"

Seeing Zhang Wei so angry, Chen Ziang naturally hurriedly interjected and persuaded: "That water bandit is extremely cunning, and it can't be caught in a short time." This time, it was also Lei Min who was not prepared, and next time he would definitely be able to completely exterminate this group of water bandits. ”

"This, the last general will definitely completely annihilate the water bandit next time. Lei Min also responded again and again, looking nervous.

Zhang Wei saw that Chen Ziang had come to persuade him, so he had to reply contemptuously: "Very good." If I succeed, I'll reward you. But if you fail again, then I'm not welcome. ”

After three days, the bandits attacked again.

This time, instead of attacking in the early hours of the morning, they switched to a night attack.

"Bang!"

The loud noise that sounded suddenly made the people in the city extremely surprised.

Zhang Wei hurriedly jumped off the bed, thinking in his heart: "It's gunpowder." Where did those bandits get their gunpowder?"

From the mansion towards the city gate, he immediately saw that Lei Min was leading his men to fight with the other party, although those water bandits were good at water warfare, their water nature has always been good.

However, he couldn't fight against Lei Min's men, and after a few rounds of fierce battles, he was killed and retreated.

Seeing the other party fleeing, Zhang Wei breathed a sigh of relief and shouted, "Those water bandits again?"

"That's right. Lei Min replied.

At this time, Chen Ziang hurried to the scene with a look, and he complained: "Qi Zhang Zhizhou, the armory has been robbed." ”

"What?"

Hearing this news, Zhang Wei's whole person was completely discolored.

Lei Min was also quite surprised, and asked, "That armory has always been heavily guarded, how could it be robbed by the other party?"

"I don't know. But all the guns we brought with us are gone. Chen Ziang said helplessly.

When the person next to him heard this, he also felt that he was in an unusually bad mood.

Zhang Wei also glared at Lei Min angrily, and shouted, "Tell me, why was this armory stolen?"

"I don't know about that. Lei Min looked ashamed and lowered his head.

Zhang Wei shouted: "After I go, I will naturally understand the situation, if it is really your mistake, then don't blame me for being polite." ”

Chen Ziang also had some reproach: "You, don't be so confused, you always fall for the other party's tricks." Got it?"

The three of them retreated, and the city was quiet again.

The next day, at noon, Lei Min saw those water bandits again.

This time, these water bandits did not act secretly, but put on a posture with a bright face, and stopped directly at the city gate.

Seeing these water bandits like this, Zhang Wei was also quite surprised, walked to the top of the city, and asked in a low voice, "What are these guys doing?"

Without waiting for him to give the order, Lei Min had already led his men out of the city and fought with those water bandits.

There are also a lot of these bandits, and it is estimated that there are thousands of people, but after all, they have not formed a formation, and after a few rounds of Lei Min's charge, they have completely fallen into chaos, and they can't fight at all, so they can only be defeated.

When Zhang Wei saw this, he felt a little relieved, and was about to walk down from the city gate, but saw a puff of smoke and dust suddenly coming out of the city.

"What's going on?"

Walking down from the city gate, Zhang Wei asked directly.

Chen Ziang replied: "It's those bandits, I don't know what means those bandits used to burn all our food." ”

"What?"

Zhang Wei's eyes darkened and he fainted completely.

After recovering easily, he also took a team of people to feel the scene, but the granary was also burned into a pile of broken bricks and tiles by the raging fire, although it was rescued in time, but the food inside was naturally burned to the bottom, and there was not even a little residue, except for the food hidden by the people in the city, everything else was gone.

Faced with such a situation, Zhang Wei also felt scared, he couldn't sit still, so he called Lei Min and complained: "You have also seen our current situation, now we can only lead the army to attack and completely destroy the other party." Otherwise, we really can't afford to attack again and again. ”

"But Zhizhou. We don't know where the other party is hiding right now, and if we attack rashly, I'm afraid it will be the other party's trap. Lei Min persuaded hard.

Zhang Wei refused to listen, and scolded: "Then what should we do? Like you, we have been hiding in the city, waiting for the other party to make us suffer from partial body bruises." Now, only by taking the initiative can we completely defeat the other party. You, understand?"

The strengthened tone made Zhang Wei's words particularly heavy.

"I know, but no. When there is no lair of the other party, we rush to attack, which will only lead to complete defeat. Lei Min refused to speak, objecting on the grounds that it would lead to an empty garrison in the city.

"Hmph, then watch the other party unscrupulous and plague the entire Junzhou?" Naturally, Zhang Wei began to get angry, and shouted directly: "And don't you think that I am a defensive envoy, so I can't move you?

Lei Min was slightly surprised, but asked, "Zhang Zhizhou, what do you mean by this?"

"What do you mean? Don't you know what you're doing?" Zhang Wei scolded: "Although I know that you won't admit it, but you think I can't know the whole thing? As he spoke, he stood up, but he complained: "After I have exterminated those water bandits and found the corresponding evidence, I will naturally explain everything to the lord and let him punish you." ”

According to Zhang Wei's meaning, it is obvious that Lei Min is regarded as a spy of the water bandits.

Although Lei Min wanted to argue, as soon as he opened his mouth, he was directly arrested by the two and then taken to the prison.

When Chen Ziang saw this scene, he was also frightened, and asked, "Zhang Zhizhou, what are you doing here?"

"I'm punishing traitors who are in contact with foreign countries, what's the point?" Zhang Wei sneered: "And Brother Chen, I advise you to say a word, don't meddle in it." Otherwise, I'll catch you together. ”

Chen Ziang's chest rose and fell slightly, but he was forced to suppress his anger, and shouted in a low voice: "Very good." But do you know the consequences of that?"

"Of course I do. But if we don't exterminate those water bandits, how can we make the people feel at ease? Now, we can only follow Cao Cao's example and use his name to calm the anger of the people in the city. Zhang Wei said, Mo glared at Lei Min again, and shouted: "After I return triumphantly, I will naturally punish you." Now, I'm going to lock you up and adjourn the trial later!"

With that, he put on his armor and led the army in the city out of Junzhou, preparing to crusade against those water bandits.

When Chen Ziang saw this scene, he was also very helpless, and whispered: "Hey. Let's hope it will work out. ”
