In the early morning, plumes of smoke rose from the rebel camp. It looked like they were cooking breakfast. After breakfast, these rebels would attack the county town.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Magistrate Qi had already organized the people in the county and sent hot meat buns and boiling water to the soldiers and strong men on the city wall. Everyone hurriedly swallowed a few meat buns.
, the strong men all started warm-up exercises under the leadership of the leading soldiers.
This warm-up exercise was brought by Wu Shigong from modern times. It is one of the few soldier training items that has been praised by Xue Yongli and other guards of the Xue Mansion. Because this warm-up exercise can indeed reduce joint sprains during soldier training.
Wu Shigong and Li Lu, the two largest military attachés in the county, hid side by side behind the crenellations of the city wall, nervously observing every move in the rebel camp. Half an hour later, there was finally movement in the rebel camp.
A group of people poured out of the mob camp. They walked to a place three or four hundred steps away from the county seat and stopped. At this time, there was a group of people wearing red turbans and white coats, holding various weapons.
people came to the front of the rioters.
At this time, Wu Shigong saw a man wearing a cassock and a hat like Tang Monk standing on a cart.
This person is Master Mou. Master Mou knows that although he seems to have tens of thousands of people now, there are only about 15,000 young people among them at most. The others are all relatives of these young people.
They are old, weak, women and children, and it is impossible for them to go to the battlefield to fight.
Therefore, Master Mou will use the most important force in the Holy Spirit Society this time - the Guardian Team as the vanguard. There are more than 500 people in the Guardian Team. These people are all loyal believers of the Holy Spirit Society, and they are all
A young man who has gone through some training with fists, feet, guns and sticks.
Master Mou thought: With the protective team taking the lead in the attack, and the two to three thousand carefully selected thieves, bandits and young believers of the Holy Spirit Society behind the protective team, they would attack the county in one go.
Because Master Mou already knows that there is no army to defend this county. At most, there are only some young men organized in the county. Their combat effectiveness is definitely not as good as his own. Not to mention, the number of young men defending in the county is also huge.
The land is no longer as good as itself.
After he captured the county seat, he then coerced the people in the county seat and rushed to Guide Prefecture without stopping, capturing Guide Prefecture in one fell swoop.
By that time, Master Mou will have a strong army and horses, as well as food for the county and prefectures. Then Master Mou will be able to proclaim himself emperor. In the chariot that Master Mou carries with him, there are prepared the dragons that Master Mou wore when he proclaimed himself emperor.
As for the new dynasty, Master Mou had already thought about it - it was called the "Great Song Dynasty".
People like Master Mou also knew that there was a "Song Dynasty" before. In order to express the difference, they added the word "big" before "Song Dynasty". Guide Mansion was the seat of the ancient Song Dynasty, so Master Mou
The name of the dynasty was not randomly chosen.
However, all of Master Mou’s dreams must start right now. Therefore, Master Mou stood on the cart, blessed the protective team with all his strength, and burned a knife of talisman (however it looked like it should be
Taoist priests) and poured the ashes after burning the talisman into a large wine jar.
Every member of the Guardian Team poured out some wine from this wine jar and drank it. They all firmly believed that as long as they drank the fairy wine blessed by the Archmage, if they were devout in the Holy Spirit, then they would be able to
In the next battle, you will be invulnerable.
After drinking, the more than 500 members of the protective team lined up with weapons and ladders in their hands and walked toward the county seat while shouting slogans. Behind them were two to three thousand people.
Wu Shigong saw these people from the protective team behind the crenels, shouting slogans of "invulnerability" and walking towards the county town. He also saw the costumes of these people from the protective team, and he was simply shocked.
Wu Shigong was not afraid, he just had the feeling that time and space were out of order. He almost wondered if a group of senior brothers from the Boxer Rebellion had also traveled through time and appeared in front of him.
Wu Shigong couldn't help but stood up from behind the crenel and looked down the city wall. He thought in his heart: "Since the senior brother who practices boxer training is here, does the senior sister who practices red light lighting come?"
Needless to say, Wu Shigong, a ruffian, is very nervous. He is still thinking about opening his eyes. He wants to see those senior sisters taking off their pants in front of the city wall, exposing their big white buttocks, and shining red lights on Wu Shigong.
Woolen cloth.
Wu Shigong didn't know that in ancient Chinese history, there were only a few ways to engage in cult rebellion. Therefore, it was not surprising for Wu Shigong to see such a familiar scene.
Seeing Wu Shigong's actions, Li Lu quickly pulled Wu Shigong down. He kept saying: "Be careful! Be careful!"
Wu Shigong was still hiding behind the crenel, and he was furious in his heart: "Whether you are a male Boxer or a female, I have foreign guns and cannons to deal with you."
Wu Shigong turned his head and shouted to Zhou Xun, who was directing the firing of the muskets: "Put them here in the moat, and let's shoot together with the muskets. The bows and arrows will not be used for the time being." The amount of gunpowder was not much, and Wu Shigong had to save some. So, just
We need to bring these rioters closer and beat them.
The journey of three to four hundred steps was not long, and these protective teams only walked for half a quarter of an hour. However, everyone on the city wall felt that time seemed to have frozen, as if centuries had passed.
The hands of all the people holding weapons were wet with sweat.
After finally waiting for those people to reach the moat, Wu Shigong nodded to Zhou Xun, and Zhou Xun immediately shouted: "Ready--! Shoot!"
With a "boom", more than fifty fire cannons, ten three-eye fire cannons, and even a few cannons donated by Wu Shigong, all started shooting at the protective team under the city wall.
The gunpowder smoke caused by the shooting suddenly blocked the sight of everyone on the city wall. However, all the gunmen hurriedly reloaded the gunpowder.
However, due to nervousness, it was originally 20 breaths to load a bullet. Now it took more than 30 breaths before all the firecrackers had finished loading. Seeing that all the firecrackers had loaded their firecrackers, Zhou Xun continued
The order was given: "Ready -! Shoot!" There was another "boom".
At this time, the situation under the city wall was obscured by gunpowder smoke, making it completely impossible to see clearly. Although all the gunmen loaded their bullets as quickly as possible. However, it seemed that no one was approaching the city wall.
Shoot again.
After the gunpowder smoke finally dissipated, the people on the city wall were surprised to find that the mob had fled to a distance of forty or fifty steps from the city wall.
Seeing this situation, Wu Shigong ordered that all fire cannons and bows should be fired again at the fleeing group of rebels. This blow made the fleeing group of rebels even more confused. Some of them even threw down their weapons.
Ladders and weapons all fled in a chaotic mess to Master Mou three or four hundred paces away.
In fact, in these three attacks by Wu Shigong and others, they only killed and wounded six to seventy rioters. However, these rioters were killed when they saw the invulnerable guard team, and they themselves had never heard the use of fire cannons.
The sound of shooting. Therefore, they were all frightened and fled back.
Seeing the rebels escaping, a deafening cheer erupted from the city wall. Master Mou looked at the high-morale defenders on the city wall with a very ugly look on his face.
The elders and helmsmen of the Holy Spirit Church who had escaped back, as well as thieves and bandit leaders, surrounded Master Mou and asked him to come up with an idea. But Master Mou was an expert at deceiving ignorant people, but he really couldn't come up with any ideas for fighting.
.
Seeing the tight defense of this county, Master Mou had no choice but to order everyone to return to the camp and let everyone discuss a solution.
Wu Shigong stood on the city wall, looking at the backs of these rebels returning to the camp, and he was a little confused: "Did the battle of these rebels attacking the county town today end in such an anticlimactic manner?"
Li Lu, who was beside Wu Shigong, also looked excited. However, when he saw the sixty or seventy corpses abandoned by the mob under the city wall, he suddenly had an idea.
Li Lu abandoned his defense area this time and fled to this county. Although he temporarily saved his life, Li Lu also understood that if the two counties in his defense area were attacked by the rebels, he would probably
He was beheaded by the imperial court and his life was not guaranteed.
However, if he had made other military exploits in countering the rebellion, he might have escaped death by redeeming his merits. And the heads of the rebels under the city wall were the key to his own survival.
.However, these rioters were beaten to death by Wu Shigong's people. This needs to be discussed carefully with Wu Shigong.
Li Lu suddenly changed into a flattering smile and called Wu Shigong affectionately: "Cousin-in-law!"
This cry immediately caused goose bumps all over Wu Shigong's body.
