The horse thief soon noticed the cavalry sweeping in the distance, although the scale was not large, but the momentum was so strong that people couldn't help but look sideways. At the same time, the gates of the Acropolis were wide open, and hundreds of Ming troops roared out.

The stocky and stocky horse thief shouted for a big event, but he was not willing to fail, but gathered his troops and turned his horse's head and rushed straight towards the oncoming Ming cavalry. Although the horse thieves are not an army, the perennial bloody life on horseback makes them have the characteristics of being fearless of death, although there is no impact formation, but their combat effectiveness should not be underestimated.

Li Xin led the infantry to take the lead, chasing the horse thieves and galloping away, he knew very well that the infantry's initiative to attack the cavalry was undoubtedly the same as seeking death, but it could play an extremely important role under certain conditions. For example, now, his appearance is not only to show solidarity with the original reinforcements, but also to make the cavalry dare not act rashly, because once the cavalry loses speed, it is equivalent to losing the impact and losing the combat effectiveness. Therefore, the leader of the horse thieves must make a decision in a short time, otherwise he is likely to face the front and rear attacks of the Ming infantry and cavalry armies.

The stocky and stocky leader of the horse thieves was not simple, and he ordered the whole army to turn around and attack the Ming cavalry head-on. Li Xin secretly said that it was not good, after all, there were many horse thieves, and it was roughly estimated that there should be more than six hundred, but the cavalry of the reinforcements was only one hundred and ten, and they were likely to be Lu Jiuyi who was sent to Zuo Qianhu.

Li Xin resolutely didn't want Lu Jiu to lead his troops to fight with him, but the shape was like a feather arrow that had to be wound, at this moment, there was no way out, and the brave won when they met on the narrow road! But in any case, the horse thieves have the advantage of troops, and the short and stocky horse thief leader also takes a fancy to this, and wants to get back the humiliated scene under the city in the spirit of hurting people.

Who knows, the cavalry of the Ming army suddenly turned around when they were about to make contact with the horse thieves in the rapid march, drew a beautiful arc out of thin air, and headed east. By the time the horse thieves realized it, they couldn't react, and they watched the Ming army horse team gallop past them, and they themselves were running away from the battlefield at full speed.

After missing the blow, the stocky and stocky horse thief leader wisely chose to lead the team to speed away rather than continue to entangle.

It was really Lu Jiu who came to the rescue, and this battle drove out the horse thieves who came to attack the city with zero casualties, and killed and wounded more than 100 enemies, and captured dozens of people, which was already a rare victory for the town and the guards this year.

Qian Tai was overjoyed, the result of the battle was completely beyond his expectations, to achieve such a victory, he didn't even dare to think about it an hour ago, but now it is really in front of him, a flash of kung fu eyes are a little moist, the three guards finally won the battle, although the enemy is a horse thief who can't get on the table, but for the low morale of all the soldiers of the town guard, it is undoubtedly a powerful encouragement. He had a hunch that after this battle, the jokes of the guards who trembled when they heard the battle would become a thing of the past and history!

Also extremely excited and ashamed is Gu Shishi, who can retreat from the enemy without blood, and at the critical moment, he immediately ordered to go out of the city to attack the enemy, this decision alone is far beyond his reach, and the self-confidence he was full of in the past now seems to be arrogant and ignorant. He even had a hunch that after this battle, the Chief Soldier might allow them to join the recruitment!

But for Li Xin, what he cares more about is Lu Jiu, the Zuo Qianhu after Lu Jiu left. This matter is also a long story, the day before yesterday, Lu Jiu's scouts discovered an unidentified horse team crossing during a routine investigation, and driven by unusual vigilance, they followed all the way and followed straight to the side wall. The group went out of the wall, but the scouts stopped there out of caution.

After Lu Jiu received the report, he immediately realized the problem and immediately sent a large number of scouts to keep an eye on the movement of the side wall. At the same time, on the one hand, he stepped up his speed to support Shi Datuo to fully control the Zuo Qianhu Office.

The means are also very simple, but they are just fighting one faction and pulling another. Using the information handed over to him by Qian Tai at the time of his arrival, according to the map, Suoji supported Gu Tong's opponents to come to power, and vigorously supported Gu Tong's hundreds of households, almost all of the general banners were dismissed, and even a few people have been arrested for violating the Da Ming law.

As the saying goes, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and all places cannot be monolithic, and there must be supporters and opponents. After the opponents came to power, the counterattack gave Lu Jiu a lot of strength, so he threw Shi Datuo, the so-called thousand households, to charge into battle.

Shi Datuo is really a genius, he did not simply and rudely purge Gu Tong's descendants, but posted notices to clean up the so-called unjust cases, and the military households were dissatisfied, wronged, and bullied could go to him to describe and record in detail.

When the materials were almost collected, they took them out one by one, and invited the sufferers to the office of the thousand households for public interrogation. After that, Shi Datuo issued another proclamation, anyone who is guilty of reporting the crimes of others, and those who are verified can be exonerated as appropriate. At the same time, the interrogation is somewhat different from the previous ones in that this time it was a public trial, and it was watched by the crowd in front of the public. Therefore, as soon as the trial began, it was like stirring up the sludge at the bottom of the pond, and all kinds of dirty things were exposed, and the military households gradually developed from the initial excitement to the later righteous indignation.

In the end, dozens of people were convicted of adultery, corruption, murder...... Even the heinous crimes are included. Nine out of ten of these dozens of people are Gu Tong's hardcore descendants. Their reputation was eventually completely ruined, ruined, and even to the point that not killing was enough to make the people angry.

A premeditated and targeted purge was concluded and sentenced as quickly as possible in the first 10 days after the beginning of the first lunar month. Even Lu Jiu was stunned, it was really condescending to let Shi Datuo be a subordinate of the Wei Si Yamen!

Originally, I thought he was a fool who could only slap his beard, but now it seems that this person is not as unbearable as he appears. Lu Jiu had heard the Thirteenth Brother talk about an animal that would adapt to the environment and change the color of its body in order to avoid the attacks of natural enemies. This color is called a protective color, so is this Shi Datuo expressed the kind of protective color that Li Xin said?

Soon, Shi Datuo's true form was revealed, which made Lu Jiu dispel this thought. He actually had an affair with a widow in a thousand households, and was even arrested by his mother-in-law's family, just because he saw the opportunity quickly, first suppressed it with intimidation, and then used the excuse to escape, so that he could escape in a thrilling way, otherwise the adulterer and the woman were tied up together in the yamen of the thousand households, so that it would be difficult for him to live.

At the most critical moment, because he couldn't control his desires and almost broke a big thing, Lu Jiu finally felt that he had a high opinion of Shi Datuo, this person may have some haste and wisdom, but he is by no means a person who can do big things.

Coincidentally, at this time, the scout finally brought back the news of the mysterious horse team, and there was a thousand-person horse thief who entered the side wall, and the target was self-evident, and it was very likely that it was the town guard.

Lu Jiu couldn't rest assured that the thirteenth brother was relieved, so he left his deputy to look at Na Shi Datuo, and hurriedly led people to the town to guard, and then there was a scene where Qian Tai pointed to the reinforcements.

Li Xin didn't know the details of Shi Datuo's cleaning of Zuo Qianhu, so he was naturally nervous about Zuo Qianhu, for fear that after Lu Jiu left, people with ulterior motives would take the opportunity to set off a mess, so he urged Lu Jiu to rush back to Zuo Qianhu as soon as possible.

It's not that Li Xin is ruthless, but in a special period, a little mistake can lead them to a catastrophe, Li Xin and Lu Jiu are not hypocritical, so they can naturally distinguish which is more important and which is lighter, after a simple greeting, Lu Jiu didn't even enter the city, so he took people to fight horses and left.

The army returned to the city victoriously, and after this battle, Li Xin's prestige was once again raised among the guards and military households. As for the white and pure experience, he left a very bad cup in the military account in the city, what greed for life and fear of death, open and secret fighting, and some people even openly suspected that he was the one who gave the horse thief a tip. Li Xin laughed when he heard this, but he dared but was so flooded by the spitting stars that he didn't even dare to take a step out of the gate.

Gu 14 and other military households received the order of the Wei Si Yamen and placed them in the C Battalion on the spot, waiting for further orders from the Chief Soldier. This is an extremely favorable signal, Gu Shishi has even met people everywhere and said with certainty that the Chief Soldier needs them!

The soldiers were overjoyed when they heard Gu Shishi's words, but it was hard to believe this fact, the Ming army's victory shocked them beyond words, and the scarlet battle flag has always been talked about by everyone. For the first time, these military households had a reason to join the town guard in addition to money.

Li Xin's military orders were issued faster than anyone could have imagined. In the evening of the same day, Qian Tai brought an official document that all the soldiers who participated in the battle to defend the city during the day were exceptionally pulled into the recruitment training camp, and from the fifteenth day of the first month, formal training will be conducted.

Regarding this army that was about to take shape, Li Xin even thought of the name, so he named it a captive.

"The Capture Army? Good name, good head! ”

Qian Tai was full of praise for the Zhenyu Army, and he raised his hands and feet to approve of Li Xin's decision to set up a new army of Zhenyuwei, and immediately stated that he would spare no effort to support Li Xin in forming a new army.

Zeng Dare to ignore this, no matter what, after the fifteenth day of the first month, he should also go to Datong Mansion to take up his post, if he has been delayed in the town guard, it is unreasonable to say that he will not be able to tolerate this kind of behavior in the Dusi Mansion.

On the day after Li Xin's victory, before dawn, Zeng dared to roll up the cover and leave with the guards. Li Xin had already received the report of the guards guarding the city, and now without his approval, how could the southern gate be opened at an extraordinary time?

Zeng dared to take away the guards, and the only force in the city that could be counted on was the Suppression Army, which was still in the process of being formed. And those 800 military households are the first batch of soldiers of the Zhenyu Army!

After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the soldiers were dragged to the military camp by Qian Tai, and then Qian Tai left an order that made them unbelievable, and left in a hurry.
