The hour has come, the sky is clear and the air is clear, there is a buzz of people outside the north gate of Jingnan County, and the banners are fluttering in the wind.
One hundred carriages, more than 600 young and strong men. The carriages were equipped with baffles, carrying grain, antlers, war drums and other war preparation materials. There were also five carriages equipped with crossbows for city defense. It is not called a chariot.
Over; there were more than 600 young men, all of them were strong men, wearing cloth armor, carrying bows and arrows on their backs, holding swords, spears and other weapons. They looked really majestic. There were 100 chariots and more than 600 people were fully armed.
The young and strong people gathered together, and at first glance, there was a hint of strong soldiers and horses.
Of course, you can't look carefully.
If you look carefully, you will find that among the more than 100 carriages outside the north gate, there are only more than 50 horses pulling the carriages, and the remaining carriages are made up of oxen and donkeys. In addition, the young and strong men who appear to be fully armed are actually
The cloth armors were not complete, and the formations were scattered and disorderly. They were whispering to each other and walking around at will, without much discipline.
However, Zhu Ping'an was still very satisfied with this. The purpose of rushing to Taiping this time was to gain credit, not to fight in the field and annihilate the Japanese pirates. Such more than a hundred carriages and more than 600 young men were enough.
Zhu Pingan inspected the team, nodded with satisfaction, thanked everyone and encouraged everyone.
"Brother Mu, Jingnan County will be left to you." Zhu Ping'an said to Liu Mu before setting off, "After we leave, the four city gates will be closed. No one is allowed to open the city unless I come in person or without the county seal.
Door."
"Follow the order. Please rest assured, young master, with the two hundred young men you left behind, I, Liu Mu, will ensure that Jingnan County is safe." Liu Mu clasped his fists and said confidently.
"Okay, I'll feel relieved if I leave Jingnan to you." Zhu Ping'an nodded, feeling very relieved about Liu Mu.
"Da Dao, Da Qiang, you must protect the young master..." Liu Mu repeatedly warned Liu Da Dao, Liu Da Qiang and the others.
"Don't worry, if the young master loses a hair, we will twist his head off and play it as a ball for you."
Liu Dadao and the others slapped their chests loudly.
When Zhu Ping'an and the others were arranging their troops at the north gate of Jingnan, more than two miles away from the west gate of Jingnan, there was also a group of people heading towards Jingnan. There were about sixty people in this group. The leader
It was Jingnan Dianshi Li Da who abandoned the city and fled, as well as Zhang Xiancheng and Yao Zongzhu.
In fact, it was not Dian Shi Li Da who was the first to abandon the city, but also Zhang Xian Cheng and Chief Yao. It’s just that Dian Shi Li Da was relatively high-profile, while Zhang Xian Cheng and Chief Yao deliberately disguised themselves.
The crowd only recognized Dian Shi Li Da, but did not notice Zhang Xian Cheng and Yao Zhushu.
Along with them, there were also some minor officials and wealthy families who abandoned the city and fled.
However, not long after leaving the city, they were blocked by the Japanese pirates who were waiting outside. Zhang Xiancheng, Yao Zhushu and Li Dianshi frantically regarded the people who fled with them as abandoners, and ordered the nursing home to use them as shields to push them into the city.
In front, they used them to stop the Japanese pirates, and they managed to escape with their lives.
However, even so, they also lost a lot of manpower. At first, there were more than 200 people with their families, but now only these 60 or so people are left.
"Damn it, I didn't expect that little brat like Zhu Pingan to have such bad luck and defend Jingnan County! If I had known better, I wouldn't have run away! It's all Zhu Pingan's fault for causing so much misery to me.
!”
When Dian Shi Li Da thought that most of his family property had been robbed by Japanese pirates during his escape, and even his favorite concubine was taken away by Japanese pirates, he couldn't help but cursed and blamed all of this on Zhu Pingan.
It would be great if Zhu Ping'an failed to defend Jingnan County and Jingnan County was completely killed and robbed by the Japanese pirates. Then his losses would be nothing, and his act of abandoning the city and escaping was also a wise act! But
, special brew, how did Zhu Pingan, a bastard like this, manage to keep Jingnan! The people who stayed in Jingnan were unscathed, but when he heard the news and fled, he lost most of his family property and lost his concubine.
He has become the laughing stock of the whole county! This is all the fault of Zhu Pingan, a turtle grandson. Why do you stay here!
"Back then, a few hundred Japanese pirates defeated Jingnan in one fell swoop. This time, there were more than 3,000 murderous Japanese pirates. Who would have thought that he could actually defend it..." Chief Yao couldn't help but sigh.
Although he had already learned the details of Zhu Pingan's defense of the city, such as gold juice and mobilizing the people, he still couldn't figure out how Zhu Pingan was able to defend the city. Japanese pirates had captured so many counties, and those counties had not used similar methods.
The method was used, but it was still breached. Perhaps it can only be explained by bad luck.
"Hmph, I didn't expect that this kid Zhu Ping'an looked honest and honest, but was actually so ruthless and ruthless. He actually forced the people in the county to go to the city wall to defend the city... He was also unlucky. Who would have thought that the Japanese chieftain was attacking and attacking?
, why did you suddenly turn around and attack Taiping... Huh, if I stay in the county seat, I can still defend Jingnan."
Zhang Xian Cheng looked indignant, thinking that Zhu Ping'an's defense of Jingnan was no big deal. If it had been him, he would have been able to defend Jingnan County, and even done a much better job than Zhu Ping'an.
Not enough, he completely forgot that it was Zhang Changru who decided to abandon the city and flee when he heard that the Japanese pirates were approaching the territory!
Hearing this, Chief Yao glanced at Zhang Xian Cheng and slightly pulled down the corner of his mouth, but said nothing.
"That's right, how can Zhu Ping'an compare with his brother-in-law? It's just that he is so lucky. When we planned to abandon the city and flee, didn't we also want to kill him with the help of Japanese pirates? Who would have thought that he could actually defend the city?
Where is Jingnan?"
Li Dianshi followed Zhang Xiancheng's words and said angrily.
"Hush! Did you drink too much horse urine again! What did you say, how did we abandon the city and escape? I thought about killing him with the hands of the Japanese pirates. Zhu Ping'an! Also, how did we abandon the city and escape? We are
We're leaving the city to move reinforcements! Don't talk nonsense!" Zhang Xian Cheng glared hard at Li Dianshi.
"Oh, oh, yes, yes, I said it."
Li Dianshi shrank his neck and said angrily. After speaking, he pretended to slap himself in the mouth.
"Master Zhang, Master Yao, Master Li..."
At this moment, a man who looked like a servant came running from the direction of Jingnan County in a hurry.
"But has something happened in the city?" Upon seeing this, Zhang Xiancheng asked repeatedly.
"The county magistrate Zhu Ping'an is reorganizing his army at the north gate. He has recruited 600 young men, as well as all the county government officials and soldiers, saying that he is going north to aid Taiping County, attack the Japanese pirates who have occupied Taiping County, and regain Taiping. I contacted the county
He also confirmed that the county magistrate, Li Wenshu, Zhu Ping'an, sent out a document to recruit all county government officials. After hearing the news, Li Wenwen made excuses and ran home. No one wanted to die, and the county government offices were all empty!"
The servant replied loudly.
Damn it!
Rush to aid Taiping! Attack the Japanese pirates! Restore Taiping!
What the hell, Zhu Ping'an didn't know how much he weighed after such bad luck, but he still took the initiative to attack Japanese pirates!
Even the regular troops at the guard station were completely wiped out by this group of Japanese pirates. You recruited hundreds of mud-legged soldiers and you just want to restore peace?!
I really don’t know how to write the word “death”!
He also recruited all county government officials!
no!
If you go back this time, you will be recruited by Zhu Ping'an! You are seeking your own death, but don't drag me with you!
Zhang Xiancheng and the others looked at each other, turned their horses' heads in a tacit understanding, and followed the direction they came from at a high speed.
When the Japanese pirates retreat completely, it won’t be too late to come back!
