Guarding the city

Jining City is on the west side of Ziyang City.

The earliest place where the tiger flag army appeared was conveniently located on the west side of Ziyang City, and the camp of the tiger flag army was also located on an open space west of Ziyang City.

Standing on the walls of Ziyang City, you can clearly see the camp with the tiger flag.

However, because of the distance, even those with the best eyesight can at most see the wooden fence outside the tiger flag camp, and the situation inside cannot be seen at all.

"How is it outside the city?" The commander of Renchengwei led his personal soldiers to climb the city wall.

Qianhu, who was guarding the city, saw the commander coming, and hurriedly bowed and bowed.

"Okay, there is no need to bow. Let me talk to you about the situation of the tigers and thieves outside the city." Ren Chengwei interrupted the Qianhu who wanted to bow.

The Qianhu bowed and clasped his fists and said, "Report to the general, since the tiger thieves arrived outside the city, they began to set up camps. It seemed that they wanted to station for a long time. Apart from this, there was no intention, and there was no attack for the time being.

intention."

The commander of Rencheng Guard walked to the battlement and looked out of the city.

Sure enough, there were only soldiers and horses around the camp outside the city, and there were no soldiers and horses with the tiger flag near this side of Ziyang City.

"At this time, the tiger thieves don't come to attack the city. General, would you like to ask the tiger thieves to come and attack at night?" Qianhu, who was following the side, whispered.

Hearing this, Rencheng Guard Commander glanced at him and said, "Are we not outside the city, what are the tiger thieves using to attack? Or are the soldiers guarding the city becoming deaf and blind, and some people climbed the city wall and climbed the city.

Can't see it?"

"If there are spies in the city, the tiger thief may not have a chance to break the city at night. We have to be careful." Qianhu expressed his guess on the side.

The Renchengwei commander who heard this frowned slightly and said, "What you said is not unreasonable."

If there are spies in the city, it will cause greater trouble to defend the city.

After pondering for a while, he said, "I will go back and discuss with the two colleagues, and you are ready to change the city wall to garrison."

In order to prevent the guards in the city from being able to get rid of the thieves, he decided to change the positions of the guards at several gates. In this way, even if there are really people who get rid of the thieves, the thieves outside the city will not be able to figure out which city wall on which city wall

The guard who was bribed.

"It's fine wherever you will go," said Qianhu.

The Renchengwei commander stayed on the city wall and observed the situation outside the city for a while, and then took his personal soldiers to leave the west gate of Ziyang City, which was closest to the Huziqi Camp.

Get off the city wall and go back directly to his guard commander's yamen.

As soon as he arrived at the yamen, he saw the soldiers guarding the yamen hurried forward to take the reins and lead the horses for the commander of Rencheng Guard.

"General, the two magistrates and three sergeants have all arrived and have been arranged to have tea in the back yamen." The people in the commander's yamen told him about the situation in the yamen.

The commander of Rencheng Guard strode into the yamen.

When he appeared in the Houya, several people inside stood up from their seats.

One of the men in the suit of a military general, Dahong, took the lead in speaking and said: "How did the Futai reply? Are there any conditions to agree to us?"

Although the others did not speak, their eyes were all on the Rencheng Guard Commander.

The commander of Rencheng Guard nodded to everyone, then walked to the top of the main seat and sat down, and said, "The Mansion has agreed to take out 10,000 taels of silver to reward the soldiers guarding the city."

After the words came to an end, the nervous expressions of the few people present suddenly relaxed.

However, he heard the commander of Rencheng Guard continue, "The silver was promised, but we will give the silver to us after we defeat the tiger thief army."

He concealed the fact that he had already obtained four thousand taels of silver.

Anyway, his money has been obtained. As for the six thousand taels of silver in the magistrate's office behind, if the people in front of him have to blame him, they can only blame the people in the magistrate's office without trust and as the commander.

Nothing to do.

"The words of Futai may not be credible." The person who spoke was the commander-in-chief wearing a red robe.

"Those civil officials are the most untrustworthy."

"General, why did you agree to him?"

Everyone knows the principle of putting money in order to ensure the security, and several people complain one after another.

After a few people finished speaking, Rencheng Guard commander said slowly: "I met the Kong family in the Mansion, and the other party was willing to protect the prefect's office."

Several people who blamed Renchengwei Commander no longer spoke.

In their hearts, Kong's family was much more credible than those civil officials, and Kong's family was well-known and would not put their face on their own for a mere 10,000 taels of silver.

"Since there are people from Kong, we won't be much more. I think we can't suffer any losses." Commander Tongzhi Yu Lu said in a relaxed tone.

"Yes, yes, yes, don't worry."

At this time, the commander of Renchengwei said: "The silver matter is the future. How to block the tiger thief outside the city of Ziyang. Don't forget that if you want to get this silver, the first prerequisite is to ensure that

Ziyang City is safe."

"It's not right for tiger thieves!" said a commander below.

The commander of Rencheng Guard glanced at him and said, "If you don't have to deal with it, you have to find a way to deal with it. Could it be that you have to wait for death and beg for mercy in the city?"

The blamed commander lowered his head.

"Tiger thieves are indeed difficult to deal with. Fortunately, we are guarding the city. As long as we support reinforcements from the court, we can lift the encirclement this time." said Yu Lu, the commander-in-chief.

Others nodded and agreed.

Because they can't think of a better solution, the other party's proposal is the best solution at present in their opinion.

As for going out of the city to fight head-on with the tiger flag, no one thought of doing this.

The tiger flag took over Henan and fought all the way to the city of Ziyang, which has proved its strength.

These Rencheng Guard officials who are also clear about the situation of Rencheng Guard are not optimistic about the soldiers of Rencheng Guard leaving the city to fight against the tiger flag.

Only your own family knows what is going on in your own family.

Rencheng Guard is no different from other garrisons. Apart from the personal soldiers and the soldiers fighting, ordinary soldiers have almost no combat power, and their abilities are reflected in farming and working for garrison officials.

I hope that this group of guard soldiers who are not much better than ordinary people will go out of the city to fight against elite soldiers with tiger flags. Unless they are confused, they will do such a thing as hitting a stone with eggs.

The commander of Rencheng Guard said: "I didn't expect you to go out of the city to fight the tiger thieves, but since you have decided to defend Ziyang City to the death, then think about how to defend."

"What better way to defend the city? It's nothing more than preparing more wood, stones, gold juice and other things, and preparing more arrows, and ensuring the number of defenders in the city."

The officer talked about some preparations for defending the city.

Although they haven't been on the battlefield for a long time, they have known many things. After all, there was a chaotic chaos in Shandong a few years ago, and local garrisons have prepared for it.
