Chapter 302 The Autumn Wind Sweeps the Leaves

As the bandit camps outside the city exploded one after another, six people, three camps, five explosions almost happened before and after.

On the top of the city, everyone was dumbfounded.

Due to the need for secrecy, no one knows what happened in front of them.

"Light the beacon fire!"

Tang Yin gave orders.

Around the city tower, bonfires prepared in advance were lit one after another, and the flames flickered. Soon half of the sky was dyed red, and the city gate opened.

Encountering an explosion, the thieves were in disarray, and there were heavy casualties in the camp. Several camps on the edge were burning. The thieves who temporarily lost their command in the dark thought that officers and soldiers were attacking the camp. Bandit bandits, even Tartar soldiers and horses are unlikely to love to fight at this time.

Gongs and drums sounded on the top of the city, and then all kinds of kicks and fireworks rose into the sky one after another, shining dazzling light in the night sky.

All the civilians were organized and yelled along with the remaining officers and soldiers. Although the state government ordered most of the officers and soldiers not to go out of the city to fight, it is no problem to cooperate to create a little momentum at this time. Lit up, night is like day.

……

……

"boom!"

The last explosion sound was heard, and it was delayed by about an incense stick of time compared to the previous explosion. The specific reason for the delay is not clear for the time being.

But this loud noise really confused the thieves behind the camp.

I thought the attack on the camp was over, but just as they were about to gather, there was another explosion, which meant that the attack on the camp by officers and soldiers was still going on.

"Kill!"

Teams of cavalry rushed into the bandit camp under the leadership of Chen Yin, the master of ceremonies of the Wangfu.

The thieves originally arranged horses and trenches outside the camp, but it seemed that it didn't work at all at this time, and the thieves camp in the middle suffered first.

According to the established plan, the first thing to do in the dark night is not to kill people, nor to find someone to fight recklessly, but to set fires around flexibly to further create chaos.

Taking advantage of the thieves' discord and the psychology of not daring to confront the officers and soldiers head-on, and using the night to cover up the problem of insufficient number of officers and soldiers to attack, fighting recklessly will only expose the lack of strength of one's own side.

As each tent was lit by the torches of the cavalry, it slowly developed into a company of burning camps. The blood of the defenders who were watching from the top of the city surged, and they all stood on tiptoe and looked into the distance with enough eyesight.

It's a pity that there is no order now, and they can't go out of the city to fight.

At this time, in the direction of the ferry, Luo An's troops retreated into the camp here to cooperate with the officers and soldiers stationed in the inspection department to counterattack, and marched towards the enemy camp. They also waved torches as much as possible along the way. It is to create and strengthen the momentum of the official army.

Looking down from the top of the city, the officers and soldiers used less than [-] troops to create the momentum of thousands of people charging.

……

……

The manors of the gentry outside the city are all watching.

No one knew what was going on that night, but after hearing a few violent explosions, each family found the thief camp on fire from their own towers, and the fire was burning from the top of the city, and there were various noises... But they still Don't dare to attack rashly.

Zhu's Manor.

On the watchtower inside the south gate, Zhu Wanjian, who was on duty at night, was pushed awake by Butler Liu in a daze, and was about to scold her, but found his old lady Zhu Jiashi standing beside her, looking into the distance.

"Such a big battle, you can actually sleep?"

Zhu Jiashi reprimanded his son without looking back.

Zhu Wanjian looked at the fireworks blooming in the sky in the distance, and said angrily: "It may be that someone set off a few big artillery battles. There are no artillery in the city, and it is impossible for the Daming Shenji Battalion to be arranged in such a remote place... I saw it before. It doesn't matter, let's sleep on our own, recharge our batteries, and wait for the battle with the thieves tomorrow."

Butler Liu cautiously reported: "Madam, depending on the situation, the officers and soldiers in the city have rushed out!"

"boom!"

At this moment, the last explosion sound came.

Because the explosion was very close to Zhu's manor, Zhu Wanjian was so frightened that he fell down and sat down. Seeing that the people around him were looking at him with contempt, he stood up quickly and defended himself: "I was shocked... ..."

Butler Liu looked in the direction of Zhoucheng: "The beacon towers at the top of the city have all been lit. According to the agreement, each family should send troops at this time to cooperate with the officers and soldiers to hunt down the bandits."

Zhu Wanjian said angrily: "Liu, are you crazy? There are thousands of thieves who showed up, and I don't know how many did not show up. How many officers and soldiers are there in the city? Don't be the thieves' plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain. Wait for us to rush out and take advantage of it." If the defense around the house is empty, if the thieves occupy our Zhuangzi, it will be a big loss."

Steward Liu ignored the wimpy Zhu Wanjian and continued to look at Zhu Jiashi. At this time, only the old lady could decide whether to fight or not.

"Prepare the horse!"

Zhu Jiashi immediately made a decision.

"Mother, this is not the time to be brave. Let alone Zhuangzi being robbed if something goes wrong, I'm afraid the people left behind will have no way out!" Zhu Wanjian still wanted to continue to persuade the old lady.

Zhu Jia said with a dark face: "My Zhu family has been favored by the emperor, and the government calls for help. Others can ignore it, but the Zhu family must not watch the fire from the other side. If I can't share the worries of the court, then what face does my Zhu family have to receive the court salary? Mobilize all the horses and attack with me!"

Zhu Wanjian said aggrievedly: "What about Zhuangzi?"

Zhu Jiashi glared at his son: "Whoever is afraid of death will stay, and those who are not afraid of death will fuck me!"

Steward Liu on the side was almost stunned. The old lady had a firm attitude at this time, her eyes were shining sharply, she didn't look old at all, and some were just high-spirited.Seeing Zhu Jiashi's eyes aimed at him, he shivered, came back to his senses immediately, and hurriedly followed the old lady down the watchtower.

After coming down, I heard Zhu Wanjian's voice from above my head: "Mother, why are you going out with your old body? Isn't that sending you to your death? Hehehe...Leave a few people with me to guard Zhuangzi...don't go all away... "

……

……

From the initial wait-and-see attitude to the fact that the situation is extremely favorable to the officers and soldiers, the people in the manors outside the city basically all cooperated with the officers and soldiers to attack, except for those who were really powerless.

After all, there are too few Zhuangzi who can pull out horses, swords and armor like the Zhu family. Most of Zhuangzi's soldiers only carry basic agricultural tools, such as hoes, shovels, and harpoons, and wear casually made of straw. Grass clothes" rushed out of their respective Zhuangzi.

They didn't go desperately, but took advantage of the chaos to join in the fun.

If the officers and soldiers have the upper hand, they can help clean up the battlefield, reap some benefits for themselves, and escort the captured prisoners to the city by the way.

If the bandits hold their ground and fight back, the officers and soldiers win first and then lose, they will take advantage of the cover of night and flee back to their respective villages, or simply find a forest to hide and come out after the battle is over.

At a critical moment, I am afraid that no one will take the lead, but I am not afraid of making a fool of myself. The more people who want to fish in troubled waters, the better. Now that those bandits find out that they are surrounded by people, they will be able to dispel their fighting spirit and think that they have won. The ambush by officers and soldiers had no choice but to run away.

No matter how powerful a thief is, they are always thieves. It is their nature to seek good luck and avoid evil. Even if there are people from the government to inform them, and people from the Ning Palace to serve as advisors or even direct the battle in person, once they encounter setbacks, they cannot do it up and down. Yixin, face-to-face, only thinking about running for his life.

As long as the thieves can't form a formation to protect themselves, the officers and soldiers can win without losing.

……

……

The head of the city city.

This battle has little to do with the officers and soldiers left behind.

We can only wait for the result of the melee outside the city.

Tang Yin, who was nominally the commander in chief of this battle, was using the binoculars Zhu Hao gave him to spy on the situation of the enemy camp while stomping his feet.

Zhu Hao could tell that Tang Yin was very nervous.

After all, this is a major event involving the survival of Anluzhou City and King Xing's Mansion, as well as his personal future. Judging from the current battle situation, the situation is very good. Maybe he can gain military merit from this battle and start his official career...

Lao Ji, who has been lost for half his life, can he return to the right path when he is old?
Tang Yin was both nervous and excited.

Zhu Hao said: "If my guess is correct, the state government should send people here... Next the state government will also mobilize people to attack."

Tang Yin put down the binoculars in his hand and looked at Zhu Hao: "Isn't the state government trying to keep it safe?"

Zhu Hao shrugged his shoulders: "The bureau against the wind, the government must not dare to rush into it, but if the bureau with the wind is still content with defending the city, then Kuang Zhizhou will definitely get a bad reputation of being incompetent... You should not be an official at the county and county levels. Do you like military exploits?"

"Ha ha."

Tang Yin had a long-lost smile on his face.

as predicted.

Not long after, the state government sent people to notify the city guards to leave the city and fight together with the soldiers of Xingwangfu.

"How many people were mobilized?"

Tang Yin's expression was resolute, not angry but majestic.

Now he is no longer a dog-headed military adviser, but a "Zhuge Liang" who has no regrets. Even people with official positions in the state government can only humbly when they see him.

The official who came was Li Liang, the magistrate of the state.

Li Liang was born in Juren, old and frail. When he saw Tang Yin, he had to salute Tang Yin in return: "Lu Gaoshi, what Kuang Zhizhou means is that you can use as many troops as you can to leave the city. It's up to you to decide."

Tang Yin nodded: "Since that's the case, only the basic city guards will be kept everywhere... let's keep [-] each, and the rest will go out of the city to fight with the army of the palace!"

"Yes Yes!"

Li Liang was very happy to see Tang Yin so easy to talk.

Zhu Hao poked his head out from behind Tang Yin and asked, "Does Li Tongzhi also want to lead troops out of the city?"

Li Liang shook his head and smiled wryly: "I am an old bone, I don't dare to make such a fuss, just stay at the top of the city and watch the fun...Come here, quickly bring the comfort items sent by Kuang Zhizhou!"

Before the final victory of the war was achieved, Kuang Yangming began to send things to the army.

Many Min Zhuang who have been guarding the city for several days on the top of the city have not even eaten a hot meal these days, and suddenly they can receive condolences. Although they don't care about the three melons and two dates, they finally have something In order to comfort me, I have worked hard and added a bit of courage to the next attack.

This can also be regarded as a way for the state government to stabilize the morale of the army.

Tang Yindao: "The battle is still going on right now, and people from all over the place are not allowed to leave their posts without authorization. Please Li Tongzhi and I will lead the battle together!"

……

……

The fighting lasted for more than two hours.

People came back to the city one after another.

The two-legged ones could not catch up with the four-legged ones, and the infantry who left the city completed their sweep of the enemy camp and returned to the city one after another.

And the "Volunteer" sent by each family, after cleaning the battlefield, went into the city with the officers and soldiers to see if they could get a reward from the government.

The sky gradually brightened, and Tang Yin finally breathed a sigh of relief when he was sure that the enemy bandits had fled in all directions and there was no longer any threat to the state city, and his hanging heart was completely let go.

Although he may not be able to achieve a big victory in the end, this battle is enough for Tang Yin to have a solid job in the Xingwang Mansion for a few years, so he doesn't have to worry about Xing Wangfu driving him away. Treat it as a celebrity, so you can't walk sideways?
It's beautiful to think about.
