The white porridge and pickled mustard is enough, why am I wearing a royal robe?

Chapter 87
Wang Feng bumped into the county magistrate who was driven out by the wind and the three inspection lords, followed by hundreds or even thousands. Since the last uprising in the city, these rural warriors who had been recruited were joined by the magistrate and the big families in the city or They were raised by the fleeing landowners from around them.

Now it finally comes in handy.

"Master Magistrate, there are mobs outside the city attacking, and the city gate has been lost!"

Wang Feng wailed, knelt on the ground and cupped his hands as if he were singing an opera, and said with a miserable face.

When Li Zhixian, the governor and others heard this, they were shocked. The city gate was lost so quickly?Although the Yanchuan County seat is not high, it is not so easy to be breached by the rebels.

"How many people are there in chaos outside the door, and where are they now?"

Li Zhixian hurriedly asked, someone might have broken into the city wall, or there might be thieves working inside and outside, and those guards should be killed.

It is useless to think about this right now. The most important thing is how to resist these rioters entering the city. You must know that these rioters will kill wherever they go.

"If we go back to the magistrate, it is estimated that there will be a thousand people. Now Captain Li has led people to resist in the city."

Wang Feng replied that he didn't know how many people there were, but listening to the shouts of killing outside the door, I'm afraid there were no less than a thousand people.

"Thousands of people," Li Zhixian breathed a sigh of relief. The scale was not too big, but he couldn't take it lightly. "Come here, go find the big landlords in the city and ask them to spend more money and food to mobilize the people in the city."

"One more person, go and tell the people in the west of the city to pick up the weapons at home and resist. The rioters are brutal and will kill wherever they go. If the rioters are allowed to come in and slaughter wantonly, they will all die."

The magistrate has experienced riots coming twice, once inside the city and once outside the city, and both were dealt with. Now, with his methodical handling, he should be able to avert the danger.

"It's just a pity that those horses were borrowed."

Li Zhixian felt that it was a pity. There were not many horses in the city. If there were horses, a cavalry team could be formed to rush and kill the victims outside the city like the last time. It would be of great use.

But the horses were borrowed yesterday.

"Quick, follow me to the east of the city and seize the city gate." The magistrate led the team towards the east of the city in a hurry. Along the way, some people fled in panic to the west of the city.

After seeing the magistrate, they all stopped and said, "Folks, pick up your weapons quickly. Those rioters are cruel. If they break into the city, your lives and property will not be protected."

The magistrate looked at the people preparing to go to the west of the city and shouted.

Some people looked hesitant. What the magistrate said was indeed correct. They had also heard about the brutality of those rioters.

"What if the person outside the gate attacking the city is the Kitchen King?"

Someone muttered something.

The people around him were talking a lot, and the name Kitchen King had spread among them.

"Yes, the Kitchen King is so kind to the people. The elderly and children all have one or two stones of food. Who among us has so much food now?"

someone shouted.The magistrate's face turned green after hearing this, and he was angry in his heart, "I am telling you that the doctor of the Ministry of Rites of the capital came here yesterday, borrowed several fast horses, and prepared to report the situation of the rebels here to the emperor. Soon, the emperor will send troops to Therefore, the rebels will all be wiped out by then."

"And the emperor will also help the people here, so you won't go hungry."

This sentence is half true and half false. Li Zhixian has no choice but to pull the tiger's skin to pull the flag. Otherwise, not only will these people not help, but the local braves and soldiers behind them will probably rebel and surrender to the enemy.

When the people around him heard this, they immediately dared not speak. In this era of absolute imperial power, the people still respected the emperor very much, and rebellion was a matter of beheading.

Moreover, when they heard from the magistrate that the emperor had sent people to rescue the people, they no longer wanted to vote for the Kitchen King. After all, the people were like this. Who would kill off their heads if they had a bite to eat? In addition, although there were rumors about the Kitchen King, no one could I have never seen it with my own eyes, but everyone knows that people who rebel are beheaded.

"Now take up arms and fight against the rebels in this county. Otherwise, when the rebels enter the city, you and I will be killed by the sword."

"Anyone who follows the magistrate and fights bravely against the enemy will be rewarded generously by the magistrate after the battle."

The magistrate coaxed, deceived and threatened the young and strong people among the surrounding people to follow their team, and the team expanded to more than a thousand people.

Although most of them are young and strong men holding hatchets, few are regular soldiers. The few soldiers wear leather armor and hold long guns. If you count them carefully, the armor rate is even less than [-]%.

It is extremely difficult for Yanchuan County to gather so many armed soldiers at the moment. This is also due to the fact that Yanchuan is located in northern Shaanxi and has a special geographical location. If it were another county, it would probably not be able to pick out a few. Soldiers.

Looking at the increasingly large crowd behind him, Li Zhixian felt a little relieved. He had already done everything he could, including recruiting young people in advance and urging large landowners in the county to donate money and food. It can be said that he was doing his best. , he is not a military attache, the three patrol inspectors are. After telling the three patrol inspectors to be careful, Li Zhixian retreated to the back of the team.

The three inspectors still didn't know what they were going to face. They just felt that a team of more than a thousand people was enough to deal with an equal number of thousands of rebels. After all, they were part of the regular army.

Half of the more than 2000 people had already rushed into the city. The heavenly soldiers rushed forward under the leadership of Yang Lichao and Ren Hongli, who had transformed into infantry. Ren Hongli originally planned to pierce armor in front of the city gate, but found that there was still no defenders within a hundred meters of where he looked. He was helpless. You can only keep moving forward.

Since the militiamen had hardly participated in any battles since the last battle, after Ren Zhuohuo was removed, the two captains and deputy captains were replaced by people with excellent training. Captain Wang Jiachang looked at the heavenly soldiers rushing forward and looked at them again. There were dozens of patrolling soldiers on the city wall above. Wang Jiachang turned to look at one of his men, "Go and lead 50 people to take down the city wall."

The task given by the Kitchen King was to capture the city. The heavenly soldiers charged the enemy in front. Their militiamen, led by the captain and deputy captain, assisted in clearing the defenders in the city.

Wang Jiachang looked forward, and saw that the heavenly soldiers were still charging forward, and they were following closely. The long street was now narrow, and the surrounding environment was complicated. No matter how many troops there were in the front, they could not be deployed.

"How about I personally lead 300 people and send them to the enemy's rear to attack from both front and rear."

Wang Jiachang thought in his mind and realized that it was feasible. He looked at the deputy captain Zhang Tian and asked him to continue to lead the troops to follow the heavenly soldiers in a frontal attack, while he personally led the troops to the enemy's rear.

If it succeeds, it is a great achievement.

The heavenly soldiers at the front finally saw the resistance army. Ren Hongli immediately excitedly asked the four armored people around him to help him put on heavy armor and prepare to fight the enemy.

　Considering that in the Zhengli period, when Wang Erzhi captured Chengcheng with only a few hundred victims, the small county town in the late Ming Dynasty should not have much resistance, and the night guard should be even more unbearable, so the above plot is there. This is a small town. The county town was captured, but it would not be the case if it were a provincial town.
