Chapter 70
After noon, young adults from nearby villages had arrived in the county town one after another.Liang Chen immediately arranged for his officers to start distributing weapons to the young and strong formations.

In fact, it wasn't just the young men who were trained.Many people heard that the bandit army was attacking the city, and the county government recruited young and strong men to defend the city, so they came to the county spontaneously with farm tools.

Of course, some people came to the county with their families, fearing that the bandit army would harm the village.

Zhang Zongxian, who was in Changshengbao, couldn't let go of the county seat.The other county was breached, and the loss of money was a trivial matter. I was afraid that these bandits would massacre the city in order to cover up the fact of looting.

Thinking that I originally only wanted to benefit the people of Qingjian County.Unexpectedly, it caused a military disaster to the people, which made Zhang Zongxian feel very guilty.

Moreover, the bandit army outside the fort has not attacked, which made Zhang Zongxian even more anxious.Two groups of people were sent out in a row to investigate the news.

After the first wave of scouts came back, it was reported that nearly ten thousand bandit troops had gone to the county seat.

Nearly ten thousand bandits?Zhang Zongxian secretly cursed in his heart who sent so many officers and soldiers.Who have you offended recently?To put yourself to death.

It was not until noon that the second wave of scouts came back to report that the bandit army was attacking the east gate of the county with all its strength and fighting fiercely.

After knowing that the bandit army was attacking the county seat, Zhang Zongxian immediately went to the fort wall to discuss with Boren how to deal with it.

Boren on the fort wall also wondered why the enemy did not attack, but blocked the access roads.The follow-up five thousand bandit army did not see it either.

Seeing that Zhang Zongxian was about to go up the fort wall again, Boren hurried forward to dissuade him.

"Master, you should not take risks with your precious body. Please wait at the academy with peace of mind, Master. Even if the disciple dies on the wall, he will not let the bandit army enter the castle."

"Bo Ren, I have important military information to discuss with you as a teacher."

Bo Ren saw that Zhang Zongxian was here to discuss important military affairs, but he still disagreed with Zhang Zongxian going up to the fort wall, so he went down the fort wall by himself to discuss with Zhang Zongxian in the hiding cave under the wall.

"Boren didn't accept the report. Nearly ten thousand bandits are attacking the county. With so many bandits, I'm worried that the county will not be able to defend it!"

"Nearly [-] bandits? There are so many bandits? But if the bandits didn't capture the county, that means the senior has already returned to the county. With a senior in the county, he should be able to hold it."

"After all, there are nearly ten thousand bandit troops as the teacher, so don't worry. Now that the enemy troops under the fort are not attacking, it is better to send a cavalry team to support the county."

"Master, no, it's easy for the two of them to break through the ravine. If there are too many people, they will definitely be discovered by the bandit army. The bandit army is also cavalry, so they can easily intercept the reinforcements sent out."

After listening to Boren's words, Zhang Zongxian also felt a little anxious.Seeing that Zhang Zongxian stopped talking, Boren advised again:
"Brother is a prudent man, and he has always been impeccable in his work. You can rest assured that he will guard the county seat."

"Hey! I'm worrying too much for the teacher, I just hope that there will be fewer casualties among the people. If this bandit army doesn't retreat, tomorrow will be the Lantern Festival."

"Master's disciple thinks that the bandit army will retreat if they cannot make a strong attack."

"I'm afraid they will harm the people when they retreat!"

Du Qianhu finally waited for Wang Qianhu's reply, and finally felt relieved when he knew that Wang Qianhu had brought people here.I'm afraid that Wang Qianhu won't give up the fat in his mouth.In the end, it led to a failure!

After asking the letter later, the county magistrate was not captured, and Wang Qianhu suffered a big loss. The well-trained archer team was severely injured by firecrackers.

Du Qianhu suddenly felt bad, why is Qingjian County so evil!The firearms are so sharp, and where did they get so many firearms, they didn't explode.The defenders are also well-trained and not as loose as the soldiers in other counties.

The more Du Qianhu thought about it, the more wrong he became, this time he was too careless and a little bit hard to get off.It is not reconciled to retreat.He already owed money to the governor, so he had to pay the money himself when he went back like this, and he didn't have the food and grass to go back!

Wait for Wang Qianhu to come and attack again. It is really impossible to grab a few towns to make up for the loss of sending troops before going back.

As more and more people rushed to the county seat, there were sufficient defensive forces on the four walls.

The bandit army did not attack again, nor did they notice that the people had entered the city to support them, which gradually made Liang Chen suspicious.So I called Lao Ye Bu Shou and asked him what he thought?
If Lao Ye doesn't accept it, he doesn't know what the bandit army thinks?However, he proposed to sneak into the barracks of the bandit army to have a look. After all, he was also from the border army of Yanshou Town, so he was familiar with all aspects and was not afraid of being recognized.

Soon Lao Ye didn't accept it, changed his clothes, ran to the south gate, left the city and circled to the east gate.It was easy to sneak into the camp of the bandit army. It was said that the camp was actually a camp surrounded by horse-drawn carriages.The bandits were completely defenseless.

Except for the direction facing the city wall, there are people on duty, and the other directions only restrict the soldiers from going out.There was no defense against someone coming in.The master didn't accept the firehead army who went out to collect firewood and sneaked into the barracks.

Master Bu Shou realized something was wrong after walking around the camp.The military tents in the entire battalion were set up very sloppily, looking like they were fooling people, and there was no large group of people resting in the military tents.Only a small number of wounded were in the army tents.

Those wandering in the barracks were old, weak, sick and disabled, and there were not many soldiers.

It seems that the bandits who can fight are only in their early thousand and walk back and forth in the direction of the city wall.

Lao Ye refused to accept it and went to Huotoujun to pretend that he was not full to find something to eat, but in fact he kept inquiring about news with Huotoujun.

The Huotou Army didn't have any sense of secrecy, so Lao Ye didn't accept it and pretended to buy some food, so he got all the words out.

It turned out that the bandit army had left for Fort Changsheng after lunch.The rest of the people are waiting here. It is said that they will come back to fight the county after they capture Changsheng Fort.

After getting the news he wanted, Lao Ye didn't want to accept it, so he wanted to get out and pass the news to Liang Chen as soon as possible.

However, getting in is easy and getting out is difficult. After all, in order to prevent these soldiers from escaping, the hundreds of households who stayed behind surrounded the camp with carts.They also sent archers to stand on a high place and stare at them, and if they dared to escape, they would shoot them on the spot.

After observing for a while, there was no gap, so I could only scare the snake away. First, I found straw and stuffed it into the tent near the cart, and then made a small mechanism with a fire pocket.He ran away from the tent and hid under the cart in the distance to wait.

Not long after, thick smoke was coming out of the tent and it was on fire quickly. The attention of the entire barracks was focused on the burning place, and Lao Ye took the opportunity to jump over the cart and run out of the barracks.

The good officials in the city broke out in a cold sweat after learning that most of the bandit army had gone to Changsheng Fort.After all, the Changshengbao infantry and cavalry combined only had 500 people.The bandit army is now at least five times that of the Changsheng Fort defenders.

Moreover, the defensive area of ​​Changsheng Fort is small, and it is easier for the bandits to concentrate their forces to break through.

It was necessary to rescue Changsheng Fort, and Liang Chen immediately summoned his subordinates to start counting how many defensive forces there are in the county.How many people can be transferred to support Changsheng Fort.

Tell Lao Ye not to accept another hard trip and immediately go to Changsheng Fort to inform the teacher.Explain the situation and I will lead the team to support as soon as possible.

After Lao Ye refused to accept his order, he set off without even drinking water.
