Chapter 291: Support the government office
It was early summer, just the first day of June. There was a custom in Dongping Prefecture that the people in the city would have to spend half a year, so everyone would buy leeks, meat, flour, dumplings, and make delicious food.
Although life seems to be as normal as usual, it is loose on the outside and tight on the inside. More than 300 constables in the city and more than 200 constables in the water and fire associations are fully armed. The one thousand city defense infantry even issued bows and arrows, and even began to secretly prepare for the rolling of wood, thunder and stones.
In the army camp, Dong Ping was sitting in the White Tiger Hall and drinking. He was not doing anything recently. He couldn't help but want a papermaking workshop to get some money to subsidize the army. If he didn't succeed, he wouldn't have to post a few people.
Deputy General Dong San came in and said, "Brother, the situation is not right."
"Why is it wrong?" Dong Ping asked.
"I just came back from the city. I heard from the brothers of the city defense army that they were fully armed and all the bows and arrows were distributed. Our 2,500-box army handed over the weapons, and each of them was carrying a white wax pole for exercise. I think the man surnamed Cheng was not kind." Dong San said.
Dong Ping crushed the wine glass in his hand and cursed viciously: "I have rejected this old coffin for many times and I have been asking for marriage. I am simply too bullying. Now I still want to play tricks. I will gather cavalry into the city immediately."
"yes."
Five hundred cavalry were immediately gathered, and these five hundred cavalry were carefully selected by Dong Ping. They usually received high military pay, were well equipped, and had strong combat power.
"It's time to make achievements. The thieves entered the government office and controlled Lord Cheng. They immediately followed me into the city to rescue Lord Cheng. They were the first to attack the government office and rewarded 1,000 taels of silver." Dong Ping shouted.
"Okay, okay, there is a thief to beat." Everyone shouted.
Become a soldier and eat food and have enough food and clothing. Only when fighting can you get more rewards.
With Dong Ping's order, more than 500 cavalrymen rushed to Ximen with full arms.
The defenders of the West Gate received a notice early. When they saw Dong Ping bringing troops, they immediately blocked the city gate with a resisting horse.
"General Dong, why did you lead troops into the city?" asked the commander.
"The thief has controlled Lord Cheng. I will go to rescue Lord Cheng and quickly spread the road." Dong Ping said.
"I haven't been given the order to lead troops into the city privately, which is like a rebellion. General Dong, please think twice."
Dong Ping suddenly burst out, and the spear in his hand pierced the commander's neck, shouting: "Come on, follow me to the city and rescue Lord Cheng."
"Crash, rescue Lord Cheng." Hundreds of cavalry shouted together, standing with the infantry guarding the gate. These cavalry are elite cavalry trained every day. It would be great if the soldiers of the city defense camp could be trained five or six times a month. Their strength was no longer in level and they were quickly beaten to pieces.
Dong Ping dispersed the infantry guarding the gate and rushed into the city. The crowds on the streets were so difficult. Today, the festival was today. Those who sold tofu, leeks, vegetables and radishes were crying. The people did not expect that they would fight. They ran slowly and were trampled into powder by horse hooves.
The team rushed to the government office, without any effective obstacles along the way. Although Cheng Wanli was well prepared, he was a civil servant after all. After all, he was a team of hundreds of constables and quick-witted people to show off in front of the common people. When he met the elite cavalry, he had no intention of fighting with him. He was defeated in a rain of arrows. Dongping led 500 cavalrymen to successfully reach the gate of the government office.
A rain of arrows came from the government office, and dozens of cavalry were dismissed. The road in front of the government office was wide and the square was not small, which was conducive to combat. Both sides launched their bows and arrows to shoot at each other.
Cheng Wanli shouted on the wall: "Dong Ping is a thief, do you want to follow him too?"
When the cavalry saw that the bad food was broken, they rebelled with Dong Ping, but there was no turning back on this road.
Dong Ping shouted: "Don't listen to them. Lord Cheng was controlled by the thief. He rushed in and rescued Lord Cheng."
Dong Ping also had a group of confidants under him, with a small number of people, with a hundred people, but they were all veterans for five or six years, and the arrows were too fierce. The infantry guarding the government office was no match for them at all, and dozens of people were quickly shot to death and fell from the low wall of the government office.
Not far away, there were almost 200 people in a closed tavern, including Chai Lin, Wu Yong, Dian Zhengnan, Hu Sanniang, Li Ying, etc., except for Chai Lin's personal soldiers, the remaining ones were Hu Sanniang and the elite subordinates of Lijiazhuang.
Chai Lin pulled out the rotary musket and wanted to rush out, so Wu Yong grabbed it.
"Brother, don't panic. At this time, Dong Ping can completely deny that it is just a riot, not a death sentence. When he breaks open the door of the government office, we will rush out." Wu Yong said.
Chai Lin remembered that according to the original development trajectory, the Cheng family was destroyed by Dong Ping. Dong Ping was famously a ruthless man and a ruthless character.
"Mr. Cheng and his subordinates are too timid. I'm worried that they will rush in and destroy Master Cheng's family." Chai Lin said.
Hu Sanniang said, "You are worried about Cheng Wan'er."
"No, I'm worried that Lord Cheng will not have many good officials to serve the people like this." Chai Lin said.
Hu Sanniang was so angry that she ate the bowl and looked at the pot. She should clean up her body.
Li Ying looked behind and didn't say anything. He came to play soybeans. If he won the battle today, Lijiazhuang's status in Dongping Prefecture will be stable. On the contrary, if he fails, the result will be miserable, but he must take a try.
At this moment, Dong Ping's soldiers found a huge log from somewhere, and a dozen people carried it to start hitting the mansion gate.
The mansion gate is made of solid wood boards and is covered with copper nails as big as a bowl. Although it is sturdy, it is incomparable to the city gate.
Master Jia was anxiously cursing and said, "Why didn't this bastard Chai Lin come yet? He said it well and lost the link halfway."
"Boom." With a loud bang, the gate of the government office opened. The yamen runners and guards began to protect Master Jia and Cheng Wanli with standard weapons.
The cavalry also saw the prefect Cheng Wanli with their own eyes. This was a dignified fourth-rank official, and some of the cavalry began to hesitate.
Cheng Wanli shouted: "Dong Ping rebelled and had nothing to do with you. Those who killed Dong Ping were rewarded with 500 taels and 1,000 acres of land."
Dong Ping laughed: "Hahaha, old man, I will propose marriage to you again and again. It's okay if you don't agree. I actually plan to betroth his daughter to Chai Lin. Are you deliberately humiliating me?"
"Dong Ping, you short-sighted ignorant child, I have always accommodated you. You don't want to repent and have done evil things again and again. Today, I dare to send troops to siege the government office." Cheng Wanli cursed.
"Attack, take down the government office, and take away gold, silver and jewelry." Dong Ping shouted.
At this moment, three figures walked through the void and arrived, like three ghosts, coming from the head of the cavalry.
I heard the sound of a bean-like explosion, and white smoke came out of the air. Dong Ping rode on the horse and was like an epilepsy. He swayed left and right. When the sound stopped and looked at it, it turned out that Dong Ping's armor with excellent texture was sieve.
Dong Ping had blood on the corner of his mouth, and pointed at Chai Lin, and fell down with a thud.
"The thief leader is dead, and the rest are exempted from punishment." Chai Lin yelled.
With a whoosh, a feather arrow shot on Chai Lin's chest and stuck it on the leather armor.
Chai Lin looked at it, Dong Ping's deputy general Dong San, and Chai Lin asked: "Did you ejaculate?"
"It's me." Dong San was a little panicked. What's the operation? It's like a shot that is like nothing happened.
"The man who dares to shoot me." With a loud shout, Hu Sanniang slashed Dong San with a snow-flake iron knife. Suddenly, Dong San could not avoid it and chopped it down on the spot.
The sound of shouting came from outside, which was already disrupted. In order to hide his strength, Chai Lin did not ask the personal soldiers to use the rotating musket.
