When Lin Ziran was worried, Wang Jinqian and others on the side were also bitter and couldn't speak, and they scolded their mother.

Those damned Guang'an rebels, when they saw their group running out of the city, immediately a group of cavalry intercepted them, and they didn't give them a chance to explain that they were not officers and soldiers, they just rushed over on horseback!

Although the other party only has more than ten horsemen, the cavalry charge of the regular army is not something that they bandits can resist.

They could only turn around and run back, and only then did they escape back to the town, but a few of their slower runners were slashed on the spot!

Wang Jinzhen, who fled back to Qingshan Town, now has no other good way, so he can only run to Lin Ziran and they want to hug their thighs.

They were counting on Lin Ziran and others to be able to block the Guang'an rebels.

But they don't know yet, Lin Ziran and they are not officers and soldiers at all!

After a while, I saw Wang Jinqian walk up to Lin Ziran and said respectfully:

"Xiaguan has seen adults!"

Lin Ziran nodded slightly, and didn't say anything, let alone say anything about their escape from the battle.

Wang Jinqian continued: "Now that the enemy is present, it is all thanks to the retreat of the enemy. ”

Lin Ziran glanced at him, and when he couldn't run away, he remembered that I was here, why did I go before!

However, since he has already turned his face with the Guang'an rebels, then there is no need for Wang Jinqian to say anything, he Lin Ziran will lead people to do it.

Anyway, the Guang'an rebels outside the city only have more than 300 cavalry, and this cavalry is naturally capable of fighting in the wilderness.

But if you defend the city by yourself, and with the assistance of Minnie's rifle, if you can't defend it again, you may not have no hope of holding it.

Lin Ziran immediately pretended to be a superior and said to Wang Jinzhen: "It is the duty of the official to defend the city and defend the people, but the headquarters is short of manpower, Wang Zhenshou also asks to immediately gather the young people in the city and let them assist in defending the city, and also ask Wang Zhenshou to raise military supplies, especially ordnance and ammunition, as well as iron pots, wood, boulders, rolling wood, etc. used to defend the city." ”

After speaking, Lin Ziran glanced at this Wang Jinqian more, and his gaze stayed on his hands for a few seconds.

At this time, Wang Jinqian on the opposite side was also relieved when he heard Lin Ziran, the doctor, give orders.

Immediately, he also exerted his acting skills: "The subordinate receives the order!" ”

Then he turned to his subordinates and said, "Immediately gather the young people in the city to defend the city!" ”

After that, he also said to Lin Ziran: "Xiaguan will go and personally collect all the materials needed to defend the city!" ”

After that, Wang Jinqian took a few of his subordinates down the city wall, but one of his subordinates looked puzzled, walked to Wang Jinqian's side and said:

"Big brother, do you think these officers and soldiers are a little weird?"

"Weird?" Wang Jinqian was puzzled.

The subordinate said: "When we just came over just now, I heard those officers and soldiers shouting that the man surnamed Lin is the big boss!" ”

"Big boss?" Wang Jinqian is not a stupid person, and when he heard this, he became suspicious.

Normal officers and soldiers would call a battalion officer of the lower doctor a big boss?

But Wang Jinqian said quickly: "Although it's a little strange, but this is their business, we can't control it, and now our lives are at stake, if we can't stop those Guang'an rebels, the brothers will be completely finished, I don't want to die in this ghost place!" ”

They didn't know that Lin Ziran at this time also instructed Luo Mazi: "The surname Wang is a little weird." ”

Luo Mazi was puzzled: "Weird? ”

Lin Ziran nodded and said: "The hands of the surnamed Wang are all calluses, and the hand joints are different from ordinary people, at first glance, he is used to using knives, I didn't pay attention to it before, but today, it seems that it is not simple!" ”

"Does a town guard wield a gun and a knife every day?"

Hearing this, Luo Mazi said: "The big boss really has a torch in his eyes, and he is discerning, and the one surnamed Wang just showed a little flaw, and he was seen through by the big boss at a glance!" ”

After touting, Luo Mazi didn't forget to ask: "Then what should we do now?" ”

Lin Ziran, as before, directly ignored Luo Mazi's words, this Luo Mazi blows every day, how many times has he been blowing, he is not tired when he speaks, Lin Ziran is tired when he listens.

Lin Ziran thought for a moment and said, "Send someone to keep an eye on them first, as long as it doesn't affect us!" ”

As he spoke, he waved his hand to Luo Mazi to stop forcing him, and hurry up to work, didn't he see the army outside the city pressing the border?

After letting Luo Mazi get out, Lin Ziran personally arranged for people to set up defenses in the city.

At this moment, arming is the right thing, and everything else is secondary.

After all, the biggest trouble Lin Ziran is facing now is not the somewhat eccentric Wang Jinqian, but the Guang'an rebels outside the city.

When Lin Ziran asked people to be armed, Wang Jinqian also acted quickly, this fake town guard was not polite at all, he gave full play to his superb acting skills, and directly recruited a large number of young people in the town to go to the city one after another.

At the same time, he also unceremoniously opened the official warehouse in the town, took out some of the remaining materials in it, and sent them to Lin Ziran, and now he already regards Lin Ziran and their 'officers and soldiers' as saviors, and he is counting on Lin Ziran to lead people to guard Qingshan Town.

Looking at the equipment and other materials used to defend the city in front of him, Lin Ziran felt a lot more at ease.

At least, all the supplies for defending the city are available!

In particular, there are many gunpowder, buckshot, fire caps, and the like.

With these ammunition, plus more than 100 young people organized by the town guard to help defend the city.

This gave Lin Ziran a little confidence.

If it is done well, there is still hope that this Qingshan Town will be defended!

Lin Ziran when they were deployed at the head of the city.

The cavalry of the Guang'an rebels outside the city also tried to send someone to pull back the two abandoned cavalry cannons, but they were discovered by Luo Mazi and others, who had been staring, and shot as soon as someone stepped forward.

However, there were many rebels in Guang'an, and they acted quite quickly, so they didn't give Luo Mazi too many opportunities, so they directly dragged the artillery back to the flat ground more than 500 meters away.

In the following afternoon, the two sides were staring at each other, the fake soldiers of the 'Fifth Patrol Battalion' at the head of the city and the young men could not leave the city, and the cavalry of the Guang'an rebels outside the city did not blindly attack.

Lin Ziran knew that the Guang'an rebels outside the city must be looking for opportunities, but he didn't pay attention to these anymore, he went to Boss Wang's ironware workshop in the afternoon, and directly ordered them to start working day and night to modify muskets, and at the same time, he also directly gave them dozens of laborers to help.

Boss Wang naturally doesn't have any courage to refuse!

In the evening, Lin Ziran called Wang Jinqian over again!

"The army guards the city, the first priority is morale!"

Wang Jinqian said: "What the adults said is very true, but how to mention this morale? ”

Lin Ziran said: "It's simple, it's nothing more than eating, drinking, and rewarding money, now that the military in the army is insufficient, please ask Wang Zhenshou to help raise it!" ”

When Lin Ziran said this, he didn't mean to take the opportunity to ask for money, but because the matter of defending the city really requires morale, especially for a group of bandits to defend the city.

And there must be brave men under the heavy reward, and if you want to better strengthen the morale of these bandits under his command, there is nothing more effective than eating a large piece of meat, drinking a lot of wine, and taking a lot of money.

And Lin Ziran and they have ordinary food, but there is not much meat and money.

No, Lin Ziran beat the doctrine to the head of the town guard's mansion.

Wang Jinqian suddenly became vigilant: "I don't know how much the army needs?" ”

Lin Ziran thought about it a little and said: "Now that the situation is tense, double salary is the most basic, plus other rewards, how can it take 10,000 yuan to turn over!" ”

As soon as he heard this, Wang Jinqian suddenly had 10,000 grass and mud horses galloping past in his heart!

Ma Dan, these officers and soldiers deceived people too much, they only extorted him half a month ago, how long has it been, and they want money.

And one mouth is 10,000, is it really money falling from the sky?

In the past half a month, he Wang Jinqian has worked hard to make money with his subordinates, and it is not easy to make more than 2,000 yuan again, plus the remaining few hundred before, and finally more than 3,000 Hengyuan.

But now, these heavenly officers and soldiers have opened their mouths to 18,000.

It's not a question of whether to give it or not, it's a question of not being able to give it!
