Shi Kefa knew something was wrong a long time ago!

When he took Zhu Youjian's internal funds and took the officers and soldiers sent by the Royal Horse Supervisor to take office in Zunhua County, he knew something was wrong.

There were so many county magistrates in the Ming Dynasty. How many of them came to office with the officers and soldiers of the Royal Horse Supervisor? How many of them would receive the 50,000 taels of internal money from the emperor? And how many of them would get the training of the regiment?

The edict of 3,000 yuan? These things put together can only explain one problem. Shi Kefa's appointment as Zunhua County Magistrate may die with the city.

After he took office, he went to the Jizhen Great Wall on the border of Zunhua County for a few rounds, and he realized how terrible the official position assigned to him by the little emperor was.

He originally thought that the Donglu were over there in Liaodong, far away from Zunhua!

Unexpectedly, everyone has already arrived outside the Great Wall in Ji Town, which is separated from Zunhua County by a wall!

Moreover, there are not many guards on the wall near Ji Town. If the slave thieves attack, it will be terrible!

So while he was working day and night to guard the city, organize team training, collect food and grass, and prepare military supplies, he was also ready to commit suicide. As early as June, Shi Kefa adopted a son from his family, who was regarded as his successor.

There was someone (Shi Kefa was quite young, but he never had a son). Then he prepared two taels of high-quality crane-top red for himself and carried it with him in case of emergencies. Finally, there was a high-quality nanmu coffin...

.The coffin is now being carried by four grown men from the Zunhua regiment training camp, followed by the magistrate Shi Kefashi who has changed into cloth-covered armor and mounted a short Mongolian horse in Zunhua County.

Wandering around. Along with this coffin and Shi Kefa himself, there were a total of 500 Zunhua regiment members also wearing cloth face armor.

Shi Kefa's 3,000 Zunhua regiment members were all carefully selected, and they were all relatively strong! Except for the officers and backbones sent down from above, the others were all Zunhua natives. They were all simple farmers or mountain people with innocent wealth.

The citizens of Huaxian City are not required. Moreover, they must have family members and cannot be alone. After being selected as a member of the regiment, their family members must also follow them to Zunhua City - if they want to die, they must die together!

As for the treatment of the regiment members, although it is not as good as that of the regular soldiers of the Jizhen Army, it is not too bad. The monthly ration is one stone, plus five yuan of monthly silver. Among them, the monthly ration is raised by Zunhua County itself, and the monthly silver is obtained from Zhu Youjian.

The expenditures from the allocated internal funds, whether it was grain or silver, were all distributed to people personally by Shi Kefa without any deductions!

In addition to the monthly grain and silver being under the control of Shi Kefa, who can distribute them on time without any deductions, Shi Kefa, the great county magistrate, is also personally responsible for purchasing the armor and weapons of the Zunhua regiment. Each person wears cloth-covered armor and an iron flying saucer helmet.

, all were made from the samples brought by the Royal Horse Superintendent, and no shrinkage was allowed. The weapons included lancets, swallowtail cards, spears, Qi's guns, Kaiyuan bows, three-eyed guns, and some were mounted on the head of Zunhua City.

The bed crossbows, and of course the rolling logs, stone crushing, thunderbolt fireballs and other equipment necessary for defending the city... I can't say that they are all high-quality, but at least they are still usable.

I saw Zunhua regiment members wearing cloth face armor, flying saucer hats, and carrying various weapons walking neatly through the street. I also saw the magistrate Shi Kefa, who had just taken office not long after Xinguang took office, carrying out the coffins. Zunhua

The folks in the county also knew that something was wrong. If they still didn’t understand what was going on, Magistrate Shi Da had already arranged for loud-voiced yamen to beat the gongs and shout at the same time.

"Building slaves broke through the wall and invaded! The officials, gentry and common people fought against the slaves as one body!"

"The slaves were brutal and massacred countless people, and they had to fight tooth and nail to save their lives..."

"The county town is closed, the streets and alleys are under martial law, and strong men from every household are going to the city to help guard!"

To defend the city, you can't just have regiment members, you also have to mobilize the masses! Shi Kefa doesn't read the books of sages these days. He spends all his time looking for "City Defending Records", "Xiangyang City Defending Records", and "Martial Arts General Must Defend the City"

》Self-study, I dare not say that I am proficient, but I have also learned a lot of methods, and I also know that in order to block the possible invasion of the Donglu army from Zunhua County, we must mobilize all the forces that can be mobilized, and we must use all possible means.

You can use all kinds of dirty tricks!

Seeing that Magistrate Shi Da was well organized in training his troops and defending the city, the gentry and common people in Zunhua County finally felt a little more at ease.

Just a little bit of peace of mind... After all, it was the brutal Donglu who came in this time!

Just when people's hearts were about to be in chaos and peace, they saw a fast horse riding from the east gate of Zunhua. After finding the official badge of Shi Kefa who was patrolling the city, he came on horseback.

It was an older veteran. When he arrived in front of Shi Kefa, he didn't dismount his horse. He held his hands on the horse and said, "Your Majesty, the leading cavalry of slave thieves has arrived ten miles east of the county seat!"

"Well done!" Shi Kefa tried hard to suppress his panic, nodded heavily, then glanced around with stern eyes and raised his voice, "This county will go out of the city to fight with the slave thieves!"

What? Out of town? So vigorous?

The people of Zunhua who were watching the excitement were shocked. The originally lively streets suddenly fell silent.

Shi Kefa pointed at the nanmu coffin and shouted: "This county is going to carry the coffin out of the city... and let the slave thieves see the courage of the official who is guarding the land of the Ming Dynasty!"

...

The Jin Army's most elite white-armored soldiers were always at the vanguard in field battles. Of course, they were not the first to rush into battle, but walked in front of the army as scouts.

They have three main tasks. One is to attack the enemy's light cavalry troops - to knock out the enemy's ears and eyes scattered on the battlefield!

The second is to search for the enemy's main force, detect the enemy's defenses, and provide intelligence support for subsequent main force actions.

The third is to seize grain and grass supplies and attack the enemy's grain routes at the same time.

If these three tasks are carried out well, the Jin army will have the upper hand and become invincible even before the main decisive battle is fought.

On the afternoon of the eighth day of August, it was Beiyu Duolondo of the Bagala Camp of Zhengbai Banner who rushed out of Zunhua City with a group of white-armored soldiers.

Even though he only led thirty white-armored soldiers (plus thirty-one for him), he ignored the three to four hundred ordinary Ming army infantry. Since then, he entered the border wall of Da'ankou and charged all the way to Zunhua County.

In Edong, not to mention three or four hundred Ming troops, not even thirty or forty were seen. Even if they saw a handful of Ming troops, they all fled. No one dared to fight Master Duolondo at all!

There is no place for this kind of martial arts, Duo Londuo is a little anxious... Isn't Da'ankou the headquarters of the Ming Dynasty Ji Zhen General Soldier?

Where are the soldiers?

Have they all taken up the free space? There aren’t any left for Mr. Da.

When he was depressed, he had already arrived outside Zunhua City, and saw a group of about two to three hundred Ming army soldiers wearing blue cloth masks, carrying long guns and holding shields, swaggering across the pontoon bridge, which was a bit wide.

A rare moat is arranged chaotically outside Zunhua City.

Does this mean we are going to fight the white-armored soldiers of the Kingdom of Jin?

Duolondo couldn't believe his eyes! There really were infantrymen in the Ming Dynasty who didn't believe in evil! When he took a closer look, he couldn't help but feel happy. Because he found that the man commanding these Ming troops was actually wearing a green robe.

A civil servant wearing a black gauze on his head, and beside this civil servant there were several strong men carrying a coffin!

Haha, this is a Ming Dynasty civil servant who knows nothing but plays with his own life!

If you can't even set up an infantry formation of two to three hundred people, it's useless for you to carry a coffin!

Dorondo raised his whip, pointed forward, and said loudly: "My sons, form a formation and charge! Take advantage of the enemy before they can form a formation and overwhelm them!"

Just as he was shouting, the white-armored soldiers following him had already started to gather together and formed a formation that could charge into the formation (it was actually quite loose).

They turned around and launched an attack from the flanks of the two to three hundred Ming troops.

A group of thirty-one white-armored soldiers charged. How could the Ming army of two to three hundred soldiers with poorly deployed formations be able to stop it?

Duolondo seemed to have seen himself beheading the civil servant of the Ming Dynasty with his sword, and then rushed into Zunhua County and burned him to death. But just as he leveled his carbine, tried hard to mobilize the horse, and launched a fierce charge at the highest speed.

When... the war horse under his crotch suddenly kicked off a hoof, and then his whole body sank. Before Dorondo and his horse could react, several sharpened bamboo poles pierced the ground.

It came up, pierced the horse's body, and stabbed Dorondo's thigh forcefully!
