After hearing the sergeant's report, Shi Jin's heart felt empty. Why did the officers and soldiers come just as they were told, without any signs to follow? However, even though the officers and soldiers came with great momentum, Shi Jin was completely unprepared at this moment. There's no rush.
The sergeant was panting continuously while running, and big drops of sweat covered his forehead and rolled down his dark cheeks. He didn't know that Shi Jin was in a critical place at this moment. He only knew that it was a critical moment on the West Tower. Seeing that Shi Jin didn't say anything, he didn't rush off as soon as he heard the news as he expected. Instead, he looked at Shi Jin and didn't really care.
Seeing Shi Jin's too calm reaction, the sergeant began to wonder whether Shi Jin hadn't heard clearly or whether he hadn't explained it clearly. The military situation was in a hurry, and to be on the safe side, the sergeant suppressed the burning thirst in his throat and continued He reported to Shi Jin: "Master, go to the West Tower quickly. The army is about to attack the city."
Shi Jin had just conquered the evil forces in Huayin County, and his prestige had not yet been established in front of them. There was no mutual trust between Shi Jin and this group of people, and between the general and the soldiers, the soldiers' hearts were nothing but It is between loyalty and rebellion, and the two attitudes of loyalty and rebellion are very easy to manipulate and deal with for the general. The scary thing is for those who are in the middle, they are the kind of losers. , he will turn over and rebel without knowing when. This will not only bring internal worries to the general, but will also cause devastating harm when external trouble approaches.
The relationship between Shi Jin and the group of people at this moment is so changeable and complicated. Although Shi Jin was impatient when he heard about the attack on the city, he wanted to be on the safe side so as not to shake the group in front of him and cause a big disaster. There was a mutiny on a large scale, so Shi Jin calmly put on a relaxed look, looked up to the sky and said with a smile: "It's a good thing you came, it's just what I want. Let's see if I make them come back today." After that, he didn't say anything more than the sergeant. What? He immediately waved his hand and told him to leave first.
Seeing that the sergeant had left, Shi Jin said to the group of men: "Today, as soon as the brothers surrendered to me, there was a battle to be fought. You brothers have not lived half a day on me, Shi Jin, but now I, Shi Jin, have to I rely on your divine power, but since marching and fighting, there must be rules. Although everyone belongs to different forces, there must have been more or less rifts in the past, but the first rule I want to establish today is, Abandon grudges and work together with one heart and one mind. There is no longer any division of forces here. There is just a team. You are all from Huayin County. I will give your military title the Huayin Army. As the saying goes: 'A snake can't move without a head.' , this Huayin Army must have a leader to implement the general's orders from top to bottom." Shi Jin paused, thought carefully, and said: "We will divide the original forces into groups of ten. The groups are in one row, and the ten rows are in one column. Each group is headed by the leader of each force and the capable people elected by everyone, while the Huayin army is led by me personally. This is great,"
"Okay," everyone heard and cheered together.
It turns out that these ruffians dominate the streets and alleys. Although dozens of them gather together and have considerable financial power, they are still despised by others. They can only dominate in the dark, and are often used behind the backs of the common people. I have scolded all eighteen generations of my ancestors, but it is different now. Although I am still in the early stages of rebellion after following Shi Jin, fortunately I have a system and can be a military attaché in a generous manner, and I can finally be upright. Standing brightly on the street to hang out.
In fact, people are all positive. Who doesn't want to live a better life, and who doesn't want to have a better reputation. At the beginning, it was really due to livelihood and helplessness. Now the brothers are all under Shi Jin's account. From now on, they don't have to worry about eating and drinking, and they should seize the opportunity to strive for a good reputation. At this moment, they listened to Shi Jin's clear and logical words, which had the style of a general commanding troops, and they couldn't help but feel a little respect in their hearts.
"Commanders, listen to the order," Shi Jin suddenly had a serious look on his face and shouted angrily.
"Yes,,," everyone responded loudly in unison, with such strength and momentum that the shout was like rolling thunder, rumbling continuously into the distance.
"Starting from now on, we will organize one group into one battalion, and nominate the leader. After rectifying the troops and horses under his command, he will immediately report his name."
Shi Jin gave an order, and the thousands of people in the streets and alleys immediately became confused. However, the chaos at this time was not really a chaos. As the saying goes, "There is no great order without great chaos." It didn't take long for this chaos to subside. At that time, they gradually became organized again, with battalions lined up for most of the street from west to east. Within a moment, a small leader rushed to Shi Jin to report the military situation.
The first person to come was a big man with a heavy back and a heavy back. He held a Fengming sword upside down, ran to Shi Jin, clasped his fists, and began to introduce himself: "Brother Shi, my surname is Gu, and my name is Yan Bing. Give me the nickname Guofeng. I used to be the second most popular person in Langfang Street. I have gathered all the brothers in Langfang Street. After dividing the rest, there are one hundred, which is exactly one battalion. Everyone recommended me to be the leader. Brother, what do you think?"
Shi Jin looked at his body and squeezed his arms. The muscles were very strong. Then he looked at the big sword. It weighed about a hundred kilograms in his hand. He was very satisfied and nodded happily. Authentic: "It couldn't be better, Gu Yanbin obeys the order,"
"The general is here," Gu Yanbin raised his fists and immediately bowed solemnly in front of Shi Jin, respectfully listening to Shi Jin's plans.
"I order you to immediately lead your men to search the battlefield, collect all the armor, swords and shields of the officers and soldiers, clean them and dress them up, then lead your troops to the west city gate tower to see me,"
"Yes,,," Gu Yanbin responded, made a salute, and immediately led his troops to separate according to Shi Jin's instructions.
The next person who came was a short and fat man, carrying two bloody kitchen knives in his hands. When he saw Shi Jin, he bowed his head and bowed: "Dong Xi, meet my eldest brother."
Shi Jin looked at Dong Xi and quickly helped him up, saying: "Why is it so generous? Brother, please get up quickly." As he said that, Shi Jin looked at Dong Xi from head to toe. To be honest, whether it was his body or his The weapons were really not comparable to those of the Gu Yan soldiers. Although Shi Jin didn't want to judge a book by its appearance, the swaying fat body and the two bloody kitchen knives really didn't look like a man who could charge into battle.
Dong Xi looked at Shi Jin and kept looking at his two kitchen knives, and the fat on his body also attracted Shi Jin's attention. He seemed to know what Shi Jin was thinking, so he didn't wait for Shi Jin to speak. He first said: "Brother, look at my resurrected thighs and tacky weapons. Isn't it suitable for me to hang out with you..."
Shi Jin heard the clear meaning of Dong Xi's words and quickly explained: "Brother, what are you talking about? It's just that the battlefield is not as good as in this market. I'm just afraid that brother, you can't defeat the officers and soldiers with these two kitchen knives." I gave you a spear, sword and shield, and I risked my life in vain. If not, I will give you a pair of swords so that you can show off your skills."
After hearing this, Dong Xi smiled slightly, bowed respectfully to Shi Jin again, and said: "Brother, if you want to give me a new weapon, don't bother. Since the day I debuted, these pair of kitchen knives have always been with me."
I, now, although I belong to my brother's account, I can't bear to be fond of the new and dislike the old. Don't worry, brother, these pair of kitchen knives are also extraordinary and comparable, and they will definitely not hinder my brother."
After Shi Jin heard this, he saw that he cherished the kitchen knife that he had carried with him for many years and could not bear to abandon it. From this, he knew that he must be loyal to people and things. For the sake of this loyalty, Shi Jin also respected his choice.
So, he said with a smile: "Okay, then whatever you like or dislike, it's up to you. I don't have any requirements for this. As long as you like it, it will be fine."
"Thank you so much, brother," Dong Xi said with a slight feeling in his heart. He immediately bowed again and said impatiently: "Please give me the order, so that I, Dong Xi, can lead my brothers to do something big."
"Okay, I want to leave the defense of the north gate to my brothers. However, a hundred people are still too few. Two battalions need to go forward before it is appropriate." Just when Shi Jin finished speaking, two men standing beside him
They immediately clasped their fists and said in unison: "I am willing to go with Dong Xi to guard the gate."
When Shi Jin and Dong Xi heard the sound, they turned around and saw that they were two men in cloth armor. One was holding a broad-backed machete and the other was holding a Qingya sword. They all bowed to Shi Jin.
While lifting him up, he secretly exerted force in his hands, but felt that his arms were thick and powerful. He felt in his heart that with these three people guarding the city, even if the city tower was not protected, the officers and soldiers would not be able to come in comfortably, so Shi Jin
He nodded and said: "Great, with two people helping me, the door is as solid as gold."
After Shi Jin said this, he was afraid that these three people had no combat experience and would be played by the old foxes of the officers and soldiers, causing the North City Gate Tower to miss. Then it would be difficult to see each other again in the future. At that time, it would be bad for everyone, so Shi Jin
Jin then added: "You have recently joined my camp, and you have not yet seen the current situation clearly. There are some cunning rats among the officers and soldiers, and their methods are very despicable. When you go out to fight in the city, please do not make your own decisions. All actions are subject to my orders.
"
After hearing this, the three of them nodded deeply in front of Shi Jin, but Dong Xi asked Shi Jin: "Brother, leaving the city is of great importance and affects the gains and losses of the whole city. Naturally, we dare not act recklessly, but if those officers and soldiers forcefully
Attacking the city, what will happen to us?"
After Shi Jin heard this, he knew that Dong Xi must be a cautious person, so he felt a little relieved. He patted Dong Xi's shoulder and did not answer his question. Instead, he asked him with a smile: "Dong Xi, what are you doing?"
What kind of business did you do when you came here?"
"I'm not afraid of big brother's jokes. My younger brother is doing business on the black market, specializing in brass,"
"Haha, that's easy to say. If someone comes to steal your brass, what will you do?" Shi Jin looked at Dong Xi and asked seriously.
Dong Xi now understood what Shi Jin meant, and immediately clasped his fists and said, "Brother authorizes me. I will defend the city tower to the death. If Beicheng falls, Dong Xi will also die first."
