Zhao Xin, the prefect of Texas, is obviously a person who doesn't like to socialize, or he doesn't like Guoxinga because of his self-respecting identity, and the welcoming ceremony at the city gate is very perfunctory. When Guo Xing'a left Yixian, Zou Chuan went out of the city for five miles, Zhao Xin's identity was slightly higher, and it was understandable that the distance was shorter, but Zhao Xin went out of the city five meters to greet him, which was obviously fooling people.

In addition to the civil and military subordinates of Texas, there were also officials stationed in the Eight Banners of Texas. Texas is also garrisoned by the Eight Banners, but it is farther away from Gyeonggi, and the level is naturally lower. Of course, there is no good treatment of the whole commander stationed in Gu'an, but the bannermen transferred by each ministry have set up four defense and four cavalry schools, and they are unified under the command of a Cheng Shou Lieutenant. Except for the Xiao Riding School, it is not a world position, but this kind of official article is also done among the children of the family, so the officials selected have only come from so many families since the founding of the country.

Tuo Ming'a, the captain of Texas City, naturally didn't dare to be as arrogant as Zhao Xin, but he didn't pay much attention to Guoxing'a, in his eyes, Guoxing'a could go to war, which was synonymous with no way. However, Guo Xing's grade was high enough, and the Texans didn't dare to be too rude, so they invited Guo Xing'a to the city for a banquet after a simple greeting. After all, Dezhou is a government, and the city is huge, so the officers and soldiers of the Guoxing Asuo can also enter the city to rest, and there is no need to camp outside the city.

The dinner party is a swallow's wing banquet that Guoxinga has seen, and the taste is not bad, but the environment and regulations are much worse than those in Yixian. Zhao Xin doesn't seem to be as good as Zou Chuan, although the dishes are not bad, but the service of the little maid is much worse. The only thing that can be regarded as a highlight is that Zhao Xin called the drama troupe. In fact, many places have arranged opera troupes along the way, but Guo Xing'a does not appreciate the quintessence of the country enough, and he has always watched it boring. Texas is a juggling team, telling jokes and performing acrobatics, but I can only watch the lively Guoxinga prefer it.

The banquet was noisy until the second watch, and when the main course had just been served and the meal had not yet been served, a servant hurriedly walked in.

"Greetings to the adults, and please forgive me! After receiving the report from the city gate army, a large number of bandits suddenly appeared outside the city for chaos, and they have started a war with a part of our army outside the city under the city, and they are currently fighting fiercely! "After the official confessed the crime, he reported the military situation.

"Got it!" Zhao Xin didn't care, how could he be shaken by a small bandit.

Guo Xing'a didn't speak, but he was worried about the Jiying Department outside the city, and the second infantry battalion was training outside the city, so it was better not to collide with the bandits. Just looking at Zhao Xinman's indifferent appearance, he didn't even ask about the number of enemies, and it was estimated that the strength of the Texas defenders was not much better, and he didn't know whose subordinates could still fight fiercely outside the city.

"How many people are there in the Twisters? What about the device? "Tomina is a military attaché, as if he was showing himself in Goxinga, and asked about the strength of the enemy's army.

"Go back to my lord, the city gate has always seen the city, and I am afraid that there are more than 30,000 bandits, all of whom are cavalry! Didn't carry siege equipment! "The official is a shrewd man, and before he came, he asked all the questions that several adults might ask.

Guo Xing'a still didn't speak, but he chuckled in his heart, the one who can fight against 30,000 cavalry is by no means a weak brigade, looking at the situation of Texas' civil and military affairs, Texas is afraid that there are no such elite soldiers. Although most of the second infantry battalion were recruits and their strength was a little worse, the fifth and sixth companies had fought a few tailwind battles, and the equipment was still relatively sophisticated compared to the bandits, and there was hope for them to barely cope with it.

Guo Xing'a, who was holding a wine glass, became a thinker, and his mind kept churning with all kinds of thoughts, guessing all kinds of possibilities. Ji Ying took people to practice, not to mention that he had to go out for more than ten miles, and the battle was under the city, so it should not be Ji Ying's second infantry battalion. And if the second infantry battalion is attacked, the Guoxing Asuo department has cloud-piercing arrows for alarm, how can there be no signal for help!

"Mu Shun, Feng Sheng, go back to the camp to rectify the soldiers and horses, concentrate the artillery and prepare the ammunition, and be ready for war at any time!" Guo Xing'a thought in his heart that it might not be the second battalion that was attacked, but he still gave the order to prepare for battle. Zhao Xin and Tuo Ming'a didn't speak, but they were laughing at Guoxing'a in their hearts for being as cowardly as a mouse, what if there were so many bandits outside the city, there was no siege equipment, and they were afraid that they would not be able to fly into the city.

When the atmosphere of the banquet slowly calmed down, Ji Young and Hatan were fighting bloodily, the ammunition had run out, and everyone was caught in a hard hand-to-hand fight. The brave Ji Ying had already been stabbed twice, and he was able to barely stand up with the support of the fifth company commander Hatan and the sixth company commander Jin Xi. Although the Qing army was backed by the city wall of Texas and the formation was not dispersed for a while, the battle situation had fallen into a desperate situation. No matter how well the bayonet technique is practiced, less than 800 people will not be able to kill back a siege of 30,000 people, let alone a group of recruits. The array barely maintained by the Qing army was like an isolated island in the sea, which had fallen into the vast ocean.

The newly organized Seventh Company and Eighth Company of the Second Battalion were only for the purpose of completing the structure, and the company commander and instructor had not yet been appointed, and all affairs were taken over by Hatan and others. Therefore, when he was suddenly attacked on the way to training, there was only one battalion commander Ji Ying, a fifth company commander Hatan, and a sixth company commander Jin Xi, and they hurriedly commanded the team to meet the battle. Although they immediately launched the cloud-piercing arrow to save the Lord, the tall walls of Texas blocked the fireworks from ten miles away, and they didn't notice the signal for help. The muskets were against the loosely organized clumsy cavalry, and the Qing army still had a big advantage at first, but this time they left the brigade just for training, and who would have thought that they would be attacked in the hinterland of the Qing Dynasty, so the second battalion did not carry much ammunition. The ammunition was gradually running out, and Ji Ying could only order the troops to release the signal for help while breaking through in the direction of Texas.

Less than three miles from the city, the 2nd Battalion sent out its last call for help and ran out of ammunition. The Fifth and Sixth Companies, which have been practicing for more than a month and have fought several battles, will not fall behind even if they start hand-to-hand combat. However, the newly formed 7th and 8th companies were 400 peasants with only some foundation, who slowed down the speed of the breakthrough and needed the protection of the veterans at all times. The second battalion, which was already about to touch the city wall, was still caught up by the Twist Army, and the two sides fell into a melee under the city.

When reporting on the military situation, the official confuses a concept. It was not that the Twist Army suddenly came to the city and started a fierce battle with a Qing army, but that the Twist Army pursued a Qing army and pursued it all the way to the bottom of the city. The officials and the generals who defended the city did not see who the Qing army under the city was, they just felt that saying this would make it appear that the Qing army under the city was more powerful, and they could fight for the army in Texas in front of Guoxinga, an outsider.

"Battalion commander, we will try our best to block the bandits, you go to the city to ask for help!" Even if a phalanx was formed, the bayonet still suffered a loss against the cavalry, and Jin Xi was also stabbed in the body.

"Phew! The ancestors of Lao Tzu's family didn't have the kind of abandonment of the army and absconding, mother, if you die today, you will die here! Ji Young spat out a mouthful of bloody smear, and then wiped the blood from the knife with his armor.

"Battalion commander, let's go!" Kim Hee has already cried, Ji Young is not only his battalion commander, but also his assistant leader, his master.

"Less nonsense, kill Lao Tzu!" Ji Young is no longer on his feet, he has been killing enemies on the front line before, and now he is not only suffering a knife wound, but he is also on the verge of losing his strength.

"Battalion commander, if you want the brothers to have a way to live, you should hurry into the city to find the adults to save us!" Hattan, covered in blood, rushed back, blood dripping down his armor, and I don't know if it was his wounds that were bleeding, or the blood of the enemy splattered on his armor.

"Kim Hee! Go into the city and ask for help! Ji Ying also knows that going on like this is a dead end, and only when Guo Xing'a brings the main force to help, can everyone have any hope of being rescued.

"Battalion commander!" Jin Xi burst into tears, refusing to take a single step.

"Ji Ying, I'll fucking let you go!" Hartan roared in disgust.

"Hatan, you fool, Lao Tzu is your battalion commander, let's die here today! The adults took Lao Tzu's soldiers, but they also gave Lao Tzu glory, and Lao Tzu returned his life to him today. Ji Young licked the blood off her lips and smiled hideously.

"Fuck me!" Hatan scolded angrily and was silent, and several soldiers were hit by war horses in one place, and there was a gap in the line, and Hatan raised his knife and killed him.

"Jin Xi, don't you go quickly!" Ji Ying picked up the back of the knife and gave it to Jin Xi.

"Master, the slave won't leave!" Kim Hee couldn't stop crying.

"Let's go! Let the adults save these brothers! In the future, I will become a big official with an adult, and when I go home, help my family, and you kid will be worthy of me! Ji Ying said softly.

"Master!" Kim Hee just shook his head.

"Call Lao Tzu battalion commander, didn't you say ......" Ji Ying's words suddenly disappeared before he finished speaking, Jin Xi raised his head violently, but found that it was Hatan who came back at some point, and smashed Ji Ying with a knife handle.

"The two of us will lead people to rush again, and you will take the battalion commander into the city quickly!" Hatan threw the unconscious Jiying to the guard squad of the second battalion, turned around and walked towards the enemy with a few of his own soldiers.

"Kill!" Jin Xi took a deep look at Ji Young and several soldiers from the guard squad, turned his head and followed Hatan's footsteps with a roar.

Taking advantage of the gap created by Hatan and Jin Hee's counter-charge, several soldiers of the guard squad swam across the moat with Ji Ying on their backs and climbed to the bottom of the city, and the defenders at the head of the city put down the hanging baskets and pulled them into the city.

"The veterans of the fifth and sixth companies, protect the brothers of the seventh and eighth companies inside, and when they die, there will be no one to wash your socks for the bastards!" Seeing that Ji Ying had entered the city, Hatan and Kim Hee hurriedly gathered their formation and formed a phalanx again, with veterans outside and recruits inside.

"Kill!" The veterans replied to Hatan in the most concise and imposing way.

"If Lao Tzu is finished, you can help me pass a word, let my family remarry that ruined old lady, my bastard boy, let the adults help me take care of it!" Hartan gasped and said to Kim Hee.

"If I die, you can also help me bring a message, let my brother make up for my lack and become a soldier, and let the adults take care of it!" Kim Hee's mouth was also wide open, and his teeth were covered in blood.

"If we both die, let the adults guess! Hahaha! When Hartan laughed, he felt like a fire burning in his chest.

After Goxinga became a thinker, the atmosphere of the banquet dropped to freezing, but it was still maintained until a few soldiers helped the bloody man Jiying in.

"My lord, save the brethren outside the city! We ran out of ammunition and were besieged by tens of thousands of enemy troops, and the brethren were almost overwhelmed! When Ji Ying saw Guo Xing'a, she began to cry.

"What are you doing here?" Guo Xing'a still raised his wine glass and asked coldly, what he was most worried about had happened.

"I ...... Help...... I ......" Ji Ying was asked by Goheunga in a somewhat incoherent manner.

"What about military law? When you come back, will those brethren still have their lives? Guo Xing stood up violently, and the wine glass he was holding was also thrown in front of Ji Ying, and it was smashed with a "snap".

There was a dead silence all around, everyone felt that Guo Xing'a was too mean, Ji Ying was covered in blood, obviously fighting hard, and Guo Xing'a actually treated him cold-bloodedly.

"The army is facing the enemy, and those who retreat without permission will be killed! If you don't die in front of the battle, you will die in military law! Ji Ying, who was lost in his soul, muttered.

"The commander of the first battalion, who will command you when you leave, you went back to the city to ask for help, and you threw the brothers to death!" Goxinga is now eager to strangle Ji Ying, Ji Ying left the command position, Hatan is too strong, Jin Xi is inexperienced, who will command the team of seven or eight hundred people.

"If you don't die in front of the battle, you will die in military law!" Ji Ying muttered again, and suddenly pulled out the Shun knife he was carrying and wiped it from his neck.
