The rapid sound of gongs echoed inside and outside Zouping County, and there were shouts everywhere. Although Zouping is only a small county with a population of more than 10,000 people, there are also thousands of men. How can the shouts of so many people echo the sound of gongs?

To describe it, it was deafening.

"Kill the thieves..."

When the shouts of killing came from all around, Sun Hu and others who had just joined the thieves were immediately frightened and turned pale, and they could not even hold the swords and guns in their hands.

Not to mention them, even Ding Pengcheng's face changed color with fright, and he said in shock.

"Whenever there is a robbery or fire alarm in the village, they always use the gong as a signal to call on the villagers to fight against the fire... Your Majesty, we, we are, are..."

Surrounded!

I still underestimated the ancients. I originally thought that as long as I entered the county town, I could catch the opponent off guard and launch a "surprise attack" like the one here, but who would have thought that this would happen.

There is actually something about "taking a gong as a call" and recruiting villagers.

In fact, this was the inevitable way to defend against bandits in ancient times. Using gongs as a signal, soldiers gathered in the countryside to kill bandits. This was almost throughout history. Otherwise, wouldn’t this county be taken by anyone who wanted to?

"Why panic? There is nothing to panic about!"

Seeing that everyone seemed a little panicked, Zhu Guoqiang sneered.

"Order the brothers to form two teams and kill the enemy along the street to the east and west!"

Although the gongs and drums were noisy and the shouts of killing came and went, those people moved very slowly. No matter the big families in the city or the common people who hurriedly picked up swords and sticks, they often followed the idea of ​​"forcing others with force".

They just wanted to use the momentum to force the thieves away. Therefore, they did not move very fast, which also gave Zhu Guoqiang time to assemble his team.

Uh...he actually didn't escape!

When Xu Neng, Zhang Dahu and others arrived near the county government office, they were dumbfounded when they saw the thieves lined up neatly on the street.

Although he said something about "catching a turtle in a urn", what he wanted in his heart was to make the thieves retreat when they saw the difficulty, but he never thought that they would not escape at all.

The script is wrong!

Before Zhang Dahu could wonder if he had picked up the wrong script, Zhu Guoqiang shouted loudly.

"Take off your smock! Get ready... to charge into battle and kill the enemy!"

The worn smock on the body clearly revealed a suit of armor. Everyone, including Zhu Guoqiang, was wearing red cloth and white cloth. This was the armor with a red flag captured in Jinan. Although the rural soldiers were disbanded, but the armor and the like

The weapons are stored in the armory.

"These horse thieves actually have armor..."

When they saw clearly that the thieves were wearing armor, the aura of those servants suddenly weakened.

He, are they horse thieves?

Before Xu Neng could recover, the thieves over there started moving.

"kill……"

Zhu Guoqiang, who was leading the way, did not have any fear, but there were only more than a thousand people. If he could not kill them with more than two hundred cavalry, he would die immediately.

"Shoot the arrow, shoot the arrow..."

As soon as he saw the thieves approaching, Zhang Dahu shouted loudly.

It's a pity that most of Minzhuang's bows are soft bows, so naturally they cannot shoot through the armor of the cavalry. Moreover, they usually have little training, and the accuracy of their arrows is extremely poor.

How could Zhu Guoqiang be afraid of the scattered arrows? The cavalry guarding him held long spears and rushed into the enemy's formation. However, as soon as they fought, the long spears penetrated several people like skewers of mutton.

The body of Minzhuang, who originally seemed to be menacing, was immediately killed and retreated steadily.

"kill……"

When Zhu Guoqiang wielded a long knife and slashed at the servant in front of him, and when the servant fell down screaming, the street was already in chaos.

Faced with the attack of the cavalry, the thousands of servants on the street, Minzhuang, had at least a dozen reactions: they either gathered together or fled in all directions. Some of them stumbled around as if they had lost their souls and looked stupidly at the oncoming face.

Coming to the blade, some people were holding swords, guns, bows and arrows, trying to fight back the oncoming thieves, but more people fled in all directions. Some people slipped and fell while running. Before they could stand up, riders galloped past.

With one swing of the knife, his head was chopped off.

"Kill the thief..."

The riders galloping on the streets, shouting and wielding their swords, slashed and killed the servants Minzhuang who could not escape. For the common people who had never seen such tough gangsters, it was just a single attack.

Everyone was frightened. The people who were banging the gongs aggressively in an attempt to repel the thieves now stopped shouting "kill the thieves" and dropped the gongs and swords in their hands.

, scattered and fled.

And those Minzhuang who had no time to escape immediately became the dead souls of the sword.

Although the cavalry under Zhu Guoqiang has never been on a real battlefield, it can be regarded as life and death. In such a smooth battle, it is definitely not something that a few makeshift young men in Zouping County can withstand.

Like a fierce tiger among the sheep, it kills and pursues them wantonly.

"Don't kill me..."

The county magistrate Xu Neng, who was in no hurry to escape, was cut down to the ground by the rushing thieves without even raising his weapon. He collapsed on the road, his blood dyeing the bluestone road red, and his eyes

Looking at the sky, there is only one thought left in my mind - are these people really thieves?

"Kneel down to avoid death, kneel down to avoid death..."

Seeing that a large number of men were being hacked to death like sheep, and even some men were still hacked to death when they knelt down in fear, Zhu Guoqiang shouted orders to the riders around him.

"Tell the brothers to kneel down and avoid death..."

The rider who had been guarding Zhu Guoqiang quickly shouted.

"Kneel down and avoid death. The master has an order. Kneel down and avoid death..."

The cavalrymen who were originally galloping and slashing with their swords shouted loudly while slashing.

"Kneel down to avoid death, kneel down to avoid death..."

After hearing this, the servants, Minzhuang, who were running around like headless flies in the knife's edge, all dropped their weapons, knelt on the ground, and kept begging for mercy.

However, just a moment of charging and killing made these people feel frightened. However, not everyone could react. There were still some people who were stunned by the killing and stood there in a daze, not knowing why.

"How dare you not kneel down..."

Following the roar of the cavalry, another person fell down. Looking over there, he saw that the person who was cut down was just an ordinary government servant.

Seeing the corpses all over the ground, Zhu Guoqiang, who didn't want to cause too many crimes, said.

"Make them kneel!"

When the young men who had no time to escape knelt down one after another, there was also Zhang Dahu who had not yet escaped. Although this guy looked quite brave at first, he did not expect that he was actually a coward. After meeting Zhu Guoqiang, he just

Weeping in pain, no one kowtows to beg for mercy.
