However, Zhao Zhizhou suddenly thought of the agreement with Liu at the beginning, and these Xishan Village group exercises seemed to come from unknown sources, and they were not so easy to get along with, so he had to send someone to sneak out of the city at night and go to Xishan Village, and discuss directly with Liu Wei, wanting to ask for group training in Xishan Village, which is guarded by Beiguan in the county seat, and when necessary, he can also help several other city gates.

Liu Wei is now selling heads, selling very coolly, and the mood is quite good, the guys on the north gate are idle all day long, and the other city gates are quite lively, so it seems a little embarrassing to look at it this way, so after discussing it with Wu Shengtian, he agreed to Zhao Zhizhou's request.

However, Liu Wei still left some back-ups, and he agreed that Zhao Zhizhou would ask the regimental training of Xishan Village, which was guarding Beiguan, to assist in other places when necessary.

However, the personnel transferred each time should not exceed half, at most a hundred, it is best to call fifty people at a time, they cannot be called as mules, they must be allowed to get enough rest, in addition, the specific command must let Li San's generals be responsible for themselves, and someone must have a special score for the enemy troops they killed.

After Zhao Zhizhou heard this, he could only pinch his nose and admit it, who let him ask for help now, and this Xishan Village group practice township bravery, it is really powerful, the bird gun in his hand is really sharp, whether this Muping County can be defended, it really depends on their Xishan Village group training.

In this way, in the next few days, Li San finally had a battle, and almost every day he would send a platoon to other city gates and places where the fighting was fierce to respond almost every day according to Zhao Zhizhou's request.

In this way, the rebels were unlucky, they found that these days, no matter how they concentrated their forces, to attack any city gate, they would incur a crackling fire on the city wall, and they were killed and injured many people, which made their morale plummet, so that Chen Guangfu did not dare to send people to attack and disturb the major city gates again.

It was not until more than ten days later that another rebel reinforcement with a strength of more than 2,000 appeared outside Muping County, and the morale of the rebels was boosted again.

After receiving reinforcements, the strength of the rebels reached more than 3,000 people, plus the people and Zhuang they had recently coerced nearby, some bandits and rebel armies, and some Liaodong people who spontaneously defected, so that the total strength of the rebels outside Muping County swelled to as many as six or seven thousand.

Of course, among them, the three or four thousand people who can fight are the main force, and more than 1,000 gangsters and rebels, and the other more than 2,000 people, most of whom are forcibly coerced, can only be used as cannon fodder.

This time the leader of the troops was a close confidant under Li Jiucheng, named Zhang Tao, who was also the former Dongjiang Army, who used to be a general, but now the rebels are shaking, and this guy has actually become a deputy general, and he is very arrogant for a while.

After he led the troops to come, he immediately shouted to start attacking the city, but Chen Guangfu was still anxious about the revenge that Xishan Village gave him, with their current lack of food, it was best to take Xishan Village, which was relatively weakly defended, and after obtaining a large amount of grain, it was not too late to attack the strong county town of Muping.

After hearing this, Zhang Tao thought that this was also reasonable, Muping County is also a fortified city with perfect city wall defense, and it is certainly not as easy to attack the county seat as it is to attack a village, and according to the locals, Xishan Village needs food and food, women and women, and thousands of refugees.

If they first conquer Xishan Village and capture the Tuweizi of Yangma Island, then in addition to obtaining a large amount of grain, they can also catch a lot of women and enjoy themselves, and at the same time, they can also coerce thousands of refugees and use them as cannon fodder.

It was obviously a good deal to conquer Xishan Village, so Zhang Tao also nodded and agreed, and patted his chest aggressively and assured that this time he would personally lead the troops over to attack Xishan Village and Tuweizi on Yangma Island.

After the agreement, the rebels no longer hesitated, and even if the troops were divided into two places, Chen Guangfu continued to sit outside the city of Muping County, while the newcomer Zhang Tao was responsible for leading the troops to attack Xishan Village and Tuweizi on Yangma Island.

Zhang Tao led more than 1,000 rebel troops, nearly 500 of whom were from the old Dongjiang River, and their combat effectiveness was quite good.

As soon as they moved, Xishan Village immediately received the news from the scouts, and the sound of the alarm gong once again resounded over Xishan Village, and groups of sea wolf infantry and newly formed township soldiers rushed to the wall under the leadership of the officer.

This time, the enemy army was menacing, with a large number of troops, and the target was not only aimed at Xishan Village, but was preparing to capture Tuweizi as well.

Therefore, the troops guarding Tuweizi were also mobilized this time.

When the refugees heard that there were thousands of rebels coming to fight them on Yangma Island, the refugees were a little confused, but this confusion did not last long, and they were suppressed by the Sea Wolf officers who were sitting here.

An officer of the sea wolf climbed up to a high platform in the middle of the enclosure and shouted to the refugees inside the enclosure with a large brass loudspeaker: "You have all heard clearly, whoever dares to make any more disturbances will be punished as collaborating with the enemy!" Immediately drag it out and kill it! All the women and children immediately returned to your nest to stay, except for the young men who stayed, according to the original formation, and listened to the orders, and the rest of the idle people, etc., also retreated into the nest to stay, and anyone who did not obey the order scurried around in the village and was killed!

Loud and noisy! No mercy! Those who mess around between the soil nests will be killed! Those who try to defect to the rebels will be killed! Now there are all of them, act immediately, after half a pillar of incense, if there is still someone who does not respect the order, they will be killed by Lao Tzu! Grandma, you nervous fart! Lao Tzu is in front, as long as Lao Tzu still has a living one, he will not let the rebels attack in!

Unless Lao Tzu is dead, how can you love it! As long as you still have a pant, you don't have any! ……”

When the refugees in Tuweizi heard this, they were both moved and nervous, and they were moved by the fact that these villagers in Xishan Village actually said that as long as they lived, they would not let these refugees suffer from the scourge of the rebels, and they were nervous that they were afraid that the villagers would not be able to withstand the rebels and let the rebels invade Tuweizi.

But now they are protected by the township soldiers of Xishan Village, and naturally they can only listen to the orders of the township soldiers, so the chaotic scene was immediately suppressed, and the idlers and others were driven back to their earthen nests to stay, leaving only more than 300 young and strong men selected in advance, as the second echelon auxiliaries, in the earthen enclosure, transporting ammunition, bows and arrows, as well as providing hot water, rescuing the wounded and other things, and at the same time, they are also responsible for controlling the refugees in the entire earthen enclosure, monitoring them, and keeping them from moving.

About 3,000 rebels arrived outside Xishan Village under the leadership of Zhang Tao not long after, Zhang Tao reined in the reins of his horse, and looked at Xishan Village and Yangma Island Tuweizi on the ice a few hundred meters away, with a look of arrogance and disdain on his face.

After looking at Xishan Village and Tuweizi, Zhang Tao didn't find any special places, but the walled wall of the village, and the earthen wall of Tuweizi, it seems that the structure is a little strange, not a straight wall, but a crooked and prominent, and there are also places to dent, he didn't see any benefits in building the wall, let alone see why.

But he still listened to the Qian Zong surnamed Wan and introduced the situation here, it is said that the village warriors here have a very sharp bird gun in their hands, which is not easy to deal with.

After listening to these introductions by Mr. Qian, surnamed Wan, he made some preparations, and asked people to get a batch of door and bed boards, or eight immortal tables and other things from the nearby villages, and handed them over to the bandits and soldiers who took the lead, and also let a large number of people who were coerced prepare messy cloth bags, wooden planks, firewood bundles and other things, and the cloth bags were filled with ice and snow on the outside.

In this weather, the digging is not moving, the ice and snow are packed into the cloth bag, and after filling, it can also be used as sand to fill the trench outside the village, and the role of the firewood bundle is the same, in addition to preventing arrows and bullets, it can also fill the trench and open up the passage to attack the wall.

In addition, before he came, he prepared dozens of ladders for his soldiers to use, and after crossing the ditch, he set up the ladders on the wall of the village and attacked the village.

It can be said that he thinks that his preparations have been done quite sufficiently, as long as he does it, then Xishan Village is a matter of hand-to-hand for him.

In addition, in order to take Xishan Village and Tuweizi this time, he also prepared a big killing weapon, that is, this time he brought fifty gunners from Dengzhou City, and added a Hongyi cannon weighing 1,500 catties, and he also pulled one at this time, in his eyes, even the city can't stand the Hongyi cannonball, not to mention the small Xishan Village, as long as the two cannons are fired casually, then the people in Xishan Village will definitely be scared.

So he came here this time, full of confidence and ambition, just waiting to enjoy the beautiful women who came from it after conquering Xishan Village.

In the past, when they followed Mao Shuai to do things in Dongjiang Town, they lived a hard life, and later Mao Shuai was killed by Yuan Chonghuan, they were dissatisfied, coupled with the internal division of Dongjiang Town, the soldiers and generals were intriguing all day long, attacking and killing, and there was no longer the kind of unity before, they could not see hope in Dongjiang Town, and they had no foothold, so they had to flee back to Shandong.

But after arriving here, those Shandong people, picking their noses and eyes, are all kinds of difficulties for them, all kinds of things are not welcome, they can't wait to slaughter them, although Sun Yuanhua treats them well, but that's all, they don't let them enjoy too much material, and although Sun Yuanhua's royal majesty doesn't say that it is very strict, but after all, they don't dare to make a mistake here.
