Chapter 39: Three become tigers to defend Ninghai
Among these people who turned the street corner, only a small number of elite water bandits were mostly refugees and surrendered Ming troops who were threatened from all over the country.
They were wearing ragged clothes, and they had all kinds of things in their hands. They had hooks, forks, axes and halberds. Those who didn't know thought they were coming to juggle.
Perhaps the fact that the military supervisor Xu Chengwen's great defeat gave these water bandits confidence, they were not wearing armor. Logically speaking, they should stay behind and let the rioters rush first and look for opportunities themselves.
But this time they did not do this. These water bandits walked past the refugees in front of them with water forks or waist knives, and rushed up naked, all of them scrambling for success, obviously with the intention of competing for merit.
A few days ago, I had already gained combat experience at Mizuno. The recruits stood still under the leadership of various team members, but just put the tips of the guns in their hands out in one go.
"Kill the officers and soldiers!"
The distance of more than thirty steps was not very long. Not long after, the water bandits rushed to the tip of the recruits' guns. These water thieves were not good at land battles, and most of them were relying on their temporary courage.
With the regular formation, the recruits easily carried over the courage of this moment. The spears in their hands kept stabbing, and soon the bandits suffered casualties.
They found that the tip of the gun in front of them came from almost all directions. With the courage of one person, you can easily pick a long spear away, but the recruits stood shoulder-to-shoulder, and had the advantage of numbers, fully leveraging the combat advantage of "screwing the guns" to "poke the guns".
A long spear was picked out, and several more pierced from the left and right sides.
The recruits had not suffered casualties, but in just over a dozen seconds, the water bandits had already suffered heavy casualties and were vaguely about to collapse.
Dong Youyin shouted, and the thunderous roar made the little water bandit leader in front of him stunned. Then he saw a sharp waist knife slashing towards him with the wind.
With a "puff", a blood-ridden head rolled to the ground. Heizi laughed and shouted: "You have silver, you can kill it!"
Dong Youyin seemed even happier when he heard Heizi and the others' words. Relying on his height and size, a man holding a waist knife could not get close to him.
Seeing this, Wang Zheng knew that the time was coming to defeat the water bandits with one blow, so he raised his knife and rushed out the first.
"Kill the bandit!"
Under the courageous leadership of Wang Zheng, Huang Yang, Dong Youyin, Heizi and Gao Liang, the new recruits of Wendeng Camp rose up and rushed over to shout.
The water bandits were shocked. Unexpectedly, the team of officers and soldiers were so powerful that they saw the tip of the gun that was poking at him, and threw their knife and fled in panic.
Before the refugees running behind arrived, they saw the vicious water bandits who were usually shouting and hiding in ambush and ran back.
At that moment, his legs became weak, and he joined the ranks of escape without thinking much, shouting and running back.
Outside the prefectural yamen, at least a few hundred people gathered. Some chaotic people carried logs that they had made from somewhere, shouting horns and hitting the gate, and many refugees stood behind and screamed.
Among these people is a big leader under Langli Baitiao. He is called the ghost in the river on the road, and he is quite prestigious. He is the leader of one of the several water villages in Jinshui River.
The ghost in the river was following the thirty or fifty elite water bandits from his village, commanding the rioters to attack the Ninghai Prefecture Office.
The big black wooden door of the yamen was already shaking, and the rioters were even more excited. The ghost in the river laughed and broke through the yamen of the yamen of the yamen. This was a great achievement!
"Run quickly, the officers and soldiers have arrived!"
"The elite officers and soldiers are here!"
Just as the shouting was rising, I heard such a sound coming from behind. The ghosts in the river looked back angrily and saw countless rioters and water bandits running towards me, all of whom were shouting that the officers and soldiers were coming.
The ghost in the river looked at each other with a close friend beside him and wondered: "Elite officers and soldiers? Don't you say that the officers and soldiers will have reinforcements anymore?"
After pulling over a fleeing water bandit, the ghost in the river roared: "How many reinforcements are there in the officers and soldiers, and where did they come from?"
I don’t know which family this water bandit belongs to. I was stunned by the roar of the ghost in the river and even asked questions and didn’t know.
He grabbed a water bandit again, and the waist knife in the hand of the water bandit was thrown to the place, but he looked anxious.
"I don't know, run away quickly. I heard that this group of officers and soldiers is very evil, and there are thousands of people!"
How many thousand people are there in the river?
"Did the white tip and the officers and soldiers join forces to kill us?" A big boss suddenly remembered something and said angrily.
The ghost in the river also looked as if it was ashen. He asked several people one after another, but he did not get the news he wanted. However, one thing has been confirmed. The officers and soldiers really have reinforcements, and there should be many reinforcements on this route.
This kind of incident was unexpected to Wang Zheng. It can be seen how uneven the quality of this temporary water bandit army was. Just the dozens of fleeing water bandits could actually cause such a city-wide escape.
Most people saw someone running away from the front, and after hearing what they shouted, they didn't even think about how authentic the news that the deserter said was, but just passed it on word of mouth.
The story of three people becoming tigers repeating in Ninghaizhou City. More than 200 new recruits from Wendeng Camp led by Wang Zheng have now become thousands of elite officers and soldiers in the mouths of the fleeing water bandits.
Most of the rioters were not as good as the water bandits. They originally wanted to get some benefits. Since the officers and soldiers came, why did they still have to stay for death? They all scattered in a hurry.
When Wang Zheng rushed outside the provincial government office, he only saw a broken flag on the ground and a log used to hit the door. The ghost in the river no longer knew where he fled with his people.
"Bangbangbang..."
After knocking on the door, Wang Zheng heard the sound coming from the yamen, and was obviously startled by himself.
"You, you thieves... This is the state yamen, and attacking the yamen is a serious crime!"
Shaking his head helplessly, Wang Zheng said, "Bizhi is the six whistleman of Wendeng Camp under Wu Xietai. He was ordered to reinforce Ninghaizhou City. The thieves have been repelled by us."
Many surprise sounds came from the door. The door slowly opened. A civil servant looked like a civil servant and was about to look at the new recruits in Wendeng camp lined up outside the door.
After breathing a sigh of relief, Liu Wenruo shouted inside: "Master, the thief has retreated, we are saved!"
"real?"
As the words of the magistrate Liu Wenruo fell, the magistrate Dong Chengping led a group of civil servants to walk out of the lobby with slight helps, and he was relieved when he saw Wang Zheng and the others.
Dong Chengping has not escaped yet, which surprised Wang Zheng.
Wang Zheng didn't know that if Dong Chengping could run away, he would have run away long ago. The magistrate abandoned the city and fled to the military officers more than the punishment for military officers. At the least, the whole family would be exiled to the army and be ruined only in the evening.
Although Dong Chengping was afraid of death, he was more afraid of being ruined than death, so he could only waste his life here.
After saying a few words, the civil servants turned around. Wang Zheng was a little puzzled. After a closer look, he realized that these people were actually sorting out their instruments.
Wang Zheng frowned and shook his head secretly. When is this time? He didn't want to take back the city as soon as possible in the chaos, but he actually took care of his own face first.
Dong Cheng calmed down his official uniform and coughed twice. He couldn't lose his composure in front of these vulgar warriors and pretended to be calm.
"The King's Strip Officer, I have the only one who guards the city of the state to ensure that everything is safe. I have also heard that you, the Dragon King of Wuwen River, has a great victory in beheading the river. This time, I will report to Futai and reward you."
