Ning Dengyun suddenly felt a little unsteady, staggered back and fell on the sofa.

Fortunately, Qin Zhao's sofa is of reliable quality and the cushion is extremely soft, so Ning Dengyun did not fall to his butt.

Ning Dengyun's face turned pale and said, "Qin Zhao really used brute force to attack the county town?"

The yamen runner said, "Isn't that true, the county magistrate!" After swallowing, the yamen runner said, "But Qin Zhao's soldiers did not show their flags, and they did not seem to be unified in command. They gathered outside the three city gates in groups of three and three. They cursed at the archers guarding the walls on the city wall."

Ning Dengyun was happy and asked, "Is it really a blow-up camp? Are they really no commanders? They are just scattered outside the city gate?"

The so-called "explosion of the camp" refers to soldiers causing trouble when the military pay is insufficient. This kind of thing has happened since ancient times, and even Zeng Guofan and He Long's troops had experienced the "explosion of the camp"" incident. However, it reached a climax in the late Ming Dynasty, because civil and military officials in the late Ming Dynasty were really good at making money.

When a large soldier makes a fortune, it basically means who is rich and robs who is rich. This is a low-level robbery. Therefore, the rich people generally do not live around the camp soldiers in the late Ming Dynasty. A higher-level robbery, whoever cannot pay military wages will rob and kill whoever is killed. Generally, it is a corrupt official.

This time, the service group was a high-level slaughter and wanted to smash Ning Dengyun's yamen, because Ning Dengyun was about to lead to the service group not being able to pay the salary.

The yamen runner nodded and said, "Isn't it? County magistrate! But I see that they are all wearing iron armor and look extremely elite. After a long time of siege, I'm afraid they will set up a ladder to attack the city!"

Ning Dengyun laughed and said, "The city wall of this county is two or eight feet high. Including the female wall is three feet high, how can a group of scattered soldiers without command be captured? If Qin Zhao's service regiment really exploded this time, then the county town of Xiangshan County would not be attacked!"

As if some confidence has been restored, Ning Dengyun waved his sleeves and said, "Everyone, what are you afraid of about a group of miscellaneous soldiers who are making money? Passing my order, all the yamen runners in Xiangshan County, and the archers will hold their waists and guard Xiangshan County to the city walls, and wait for the Nanhai Guards of Nanhai County to send troops to support them."

A dozen juren were also scared just now.

But at this time, I realized that it was the bombing camp and the unorganized miscellaneous soldiers, so the juren became more at ease. Seeing that Ning Dengyun was full of confidence, they all found the backbone.

Ning Dengyun took a breath and said, "Everyone! Follow me to the city wall and see what kind of formation Qin Zhao, Qiu Ba, has created? After this battle, Ding Kuichu, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, will definitely punish this Jinghai Guard, Qin Zhao!"

The ranks of the emperor bowed to the county magistrate and shouted wisely.

Ning Dengyun led the archers in the county yamen and the ranks and ranks walked towards the city wall like a long string of dragons.

Walking up to the East City Gate, Ning Dengyun stood on the city tower to observe the soldiers opposite.

Sure enough, as the yamen runners said, these soldiers had no command and did not form a queue, but stood under the city gate in groups of three or three. Some soldiers of the service regiment came with bows and arrows and shot at the city wall with eight-power strong bows. However, the archers on the city wall were protected by the battlement wall, and the bows and arrows below could not injure the soldiers above.

Ning Dengyun cleared his throat and shouted loudly: "Listen to the soldiers below, I am the county magistrate Ning Dengyun. You and others gathered to attack the city, which was a serious crime of the state! At the least, there was a whip and cane, and at the worst, there was a crime of rebellion. It was not too late to make up for the bribe. I advise you to return to your lost road, now leave the county town immediately and return to your Jinghai Fort."

However, Ning Dengyun's persuasion had no effect at all, and a sarcastic laughter came from below.

Ning Dengyun was angry and cursed: "A group of idiots, how high is my Xiangshan County? You probably don't even have a ladder to attack the city, so what kind of siege? It's better to retreat quickly and hand over the lord Qin Zhao, the mastermind behind the scenes..."

Ning Dengyun was cursing there, but saw the juren Ye Bin suddenly pointing his hand and saying, "County Master, there are rockets over there!"

Ning Dengyun was stunned for a moment and looked at Ye Bin's hand. Sure enough, he saw an elite soldier in fish-scale steel armor holding a rocket and aiming at the East City Tower where Ning Dengyun was located.

A igniter behind lit the rocket with a smile.

Only with a "whoosh" sound was heard, the rocket spit out a huge tail flame from its tail, and shot straight towards the East City Tower where Ning Dengyun was located like a bolt of lightning.

A yamen runner understood the rocket and shouted loudly: "Everyone, lie down!"

The people on the city wall shivered with their legs and hid behind the city wall. Ning Dengyun was the least courageous. Not only did he hide behind the wall, but he also rolled directly on the ground to the outside of the city wall.

Only a loud bang was heard, the rocket concentrated the roof of the East City Tower and stuck between the roof tile roof and beams and columns.

Ning Dengyun looked at the rocket very large, and felt that there was a mechanism behind him. He was so scared that he rolled out twice and hid far away from the city tower.

"boom!"

The rocket exploded suddenly, shooting out countless steel sheets like fireworks. Three juren who were slow to hide and two yamen runners who disagreed were immediately pierced by steel sheets. They had no armor on their bodies, and the steel sheets shot into their bodies like a sharp knife encountered soap, which immediately pierced through them.

Ye Bin screamed and fell to the ground. A steel piece pierced from his left waist and back, pierced directly through his left waist, and shot out from the front of his left waist. The kidneys and intestines were all pierced by the steel piece into pieces of flesh and blood.

Blood suddenly splattered everywhere on the Dongcheng Tower, making the juren and the yamen runners all over their faces.

Those juren have seen such a formation? A juren was splattered with blood on his face, and was immediately scared and screamed heart-wrenchingly.

Those who don’t know thought this juren was shot and injured.

Even if the steel sheets were not stabbed, the person who had not been splashed with blood would not be happy. The city tower was already aging, and it was hit by a rocket below and collapsed. The moldy beams and broken tiles were smashed like a collapse of a small mountain, which made the juren and the soldiers look on their faces. I don’t know how many people they had injured.

Ning Dengyun lay outside the city tower and dared not stand up any longer.

He opened his mouth wide and looked at the East City Tower, which had been blown into ruins in surprise, trembling all over.

Is this the power of the life group?

When the service regiment really showed its strength, Ning Dengyun realized that the enemy's bombing soldiers did not need command at all, and they could only capture Xiangshan County if they bombed casually.

Ning Dengyun crawled on the ground and rolled and crawled down the city wall. Although he was old at this time, he showed strong psychological qualities at the critical moment of his life and climbed very quickly.

Ning Dengyun can only bet that Qin Zhao dare not attack the county government office now, and he wants to hide in the county government office.

The soldiers outside chatted in groups of three or three, discussing the rocket effect that had just exploded the city tower. The three rocket soldiers behind raised three rocket launchers and shot out at the east gate of Xiangshan County.

A group of juren and yamen runners on the city tower heard the sound of rocket shooting, subconsciously hugged their heads, but none of them dared to look outside.

Three rockets hit the wooden city gate and nailed them in.

Then three rockets exploded suddenly, blowing the disrepaired wooden city gate into pieces.

More than 200 soldiers from the East City Gate laughed sarcastically.

This was a big deal. In front of the rockets of the service regiment, the city defense of Xiangshan County was like paper.

The soldiers in the service regiment, wearing fish scale armor, raised their waists and swords, and in groups of twenty people walked into the east city gate in a swagger.

"The army of the army serves the money! All the people return home!"

"The soldiers only captured the county magistrate and the juren! They did not hurt the people!"
