When Young Baihu led his men into the battle group, even the bravest thieves began to feel frightened.
The first ray of light from the east finally shone on this land, and Scarface turned the horse's head with a sullen face... and ran away.
When the remaining thieves saw that their bosses had run away, they were frightened and scattered in confusion.
Upon seeing this, Xie Kun quickly organized people to strangle him.
But the people he brought out from the city had long since collapsed on the ground from exhaustion, and no one was chasing them.
In the end, only the hundreds of households just killed a dozen thieves and bandits with the guards in their hands.
On the battlefield at this time, blood was flowing everywhere, corpses were lying everywhere, and the wails of the injured made everyone feel sad.
Xie Kun ordered people to collect the bodies and treat the wounded.
Rough statistics show that in just over half an hour, Hailing County paid a heavy price.
Of the 400 or so people Xie Kun brought out, only more than 100 are still with him. Most of the rest fled, and those who did not escape were injured or dead.
There were only a dozen enemy corpses in the field.
Xie Kun's face was as dark as water. He knew that the guardsmen were useless, but he didn't expect them to be so rotten.
Most of the casualties in the field were local brave and strong people, but there were only a few guardsmen.
"The guard station is so ruined. If there are foreign enemies attacking the border, the Wei Dynasty will be in danger!" Xie Kun was heartbroken.
Xu He also felt heavy in his heart, but in this case, Xie Kun, a madman, could say it, but he couldn't.
Xie Kun said it, which is called worrying about the country and the people; if he said it himself, if others heard it, it would be slandering the court and plotting evil!
But he really wanted to complain.
He had just made a rough calculation and found that there were more than 700 thieves outside the east city. Although the number of thieves this time was more than the number of people brought out by Master Xie, as soon as they came into contact, whether they were serving as soldiers in the food field or as soldiers in the third class, they were almost instantly Collapse.
If it weren't for the drumming soldiers arranged by the uncle in advance and the two troops who came from nowhere to support them, they wouldn't be able to survive until dawn.
Also, the thieves withdrew, and everyone with a discerning eye knew that they were not afraid of the newly arrived reinforcements.
They did it because it was almost dawn, and even if they killed all the people on their side, they would have no time or chance to carry the tax money.
Among thieves, there are wise men. They know that one hit will miss, and they immediately run away without being entangled.
While Xu He was deep in thought, someone suddenly asked in surprise: "He'er, why are you here?"
"Uncle!" Xu He raised his head and looked at the person.
It turned out that the first wave of support was brought by my uncle with people from the Dong'an Inspection Department.
Looking at the wounds scratched by knives here and there on his uncle's body, Xu He felt lingering fear.
The uncle and nephew talked in detail about what happened after Xie Bin left yesterday. As they met, they realized that it was extremely dangerous.
After Xie Bin followed the group of thieves yesterday, he saw that they only numbered about a hundred people, but the twenty or so soldiers under him did not dare to move rashly, so he could only send people into the city to notify the county.
Later, when he quietly ambush to check the situation, he found that another five to six hundred thieves were heading towards Baoba.
But because the roads were isolated and there were many thieves watching, the county could not be notified.
Just when he was anxious, among the hundreds of people who originally attacked the city, a scar-faced leader led a few people to join the large army.
At this time, he realized that the so-called siege was just a cover, and the real target of the thieves was actually the Baoba Laboratory.
Later, Xie Kun led his men out for a melee. Seeing that his side was about to collapse, he couldn't wait any longer and charged into the battle group with his soldiers.
"It's a pity that there are too few people in our inspection department and we can't help!" Xie Bin felt a little ashamed!
When Xie Kun heard this, he realized that the bearded man who had just been killed turned out to be an inspector from the Dong'an Inspection Department.
A patrol officer responsible for detecting thefts had such courage. He knew that he was at a disadvantage and still dared to go into battle and kill him. In comparison, those at the guard station should be ashamed.
Thinking of this, Xie Kun said gratefully: "If it hadn't been for Xie's help, we wouldn't have been able to survive until dawn! I will report the merits of the inspection to County Magistrate Li when I go back."
Xie Bin looked at Xu He in confusion: "Who is this?"
Xu He said: "Uncle, this is Li County's dear friend and my uncle, Mr. Beiming."
Xie Bin heard that the other party was his nephew's uncle and a good friend of the county magistrate, so he immediately jumped off his horse and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Beiming!"
Several people were still talking, and Baihu, who had just chased the thief, came back: "Who is the head of the case Xu?"
Xu He looked at the man carefully, but he didn't know him.
The hundred households took out a sword from behind and presented it to Xu He with both hands: "I have met my benefactor in Hu Jianzhong, one of the hundred households in Rugao!"
"Benefactor?" Xu He was confused by him, "Master Baihu, have you recognized the wrong person?"
Hu Jianzhong looked at Xu He in confusion: "Is this sword yours?"
Xu He nodded.
The hundred households said happily: "That's right, benefactor, do you still remember what happened at Huibin Tower a few days ago? My mother-in-law..."
When Xu He heard this, he suddenly realized that in Huibin Building that day, in order to deal with Hu Baihu, he [solved the case] in front of everyone.
And the man in front of me is the husband who complained to the woman, the unlucky guy whose mother ran away with her uncle!
"But you, a hundred households...?"
"After that day, my uncle was deposed by the military commander. I will temporarily inherit the position of Hundred Households. I will only take office after reporting to the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion next year!"
Xu He was a little curious: "Then how did you get here? Where is my brother Peng?"
"Oh, you are talking about the warrior Xu Peng, right?" Xiao Hu Baihu explained: "Yesterday, the warrior Xu found a magistrate in Rugao, and then took out his sword as a token, saying that Hailing was in trouble, and asked him to ask the magistrate of Rugao to send troops support."
"The magistrate took the strong man to the Baihu Station. Originally, the guard station was not allowed to mobilize troops without authorization, but the strong man said that the sword in his hand was given to Mr. Xu by his cousin Lu Bu, who was the governor of the military affairs of the five southeastern provinces. He asked us to send troops. "
"I was still hesitating at first, but when I heard about Chief Xu from Hailing, I suddenly remembered the letter sent by someone in the past two days. If it hadn't been for Chief Xu Hexu's help, she would have starved to death at home. Yes, that’s why I came here with my brothers!”
…
Xu He and Xie Kun looked at each other and saw a look of joy in each other's eyes.
It’s really a matter of one drink and one peck, God’s will comes with it.
If he hadn't spoken for that woman at the beginning, where would Xiao Hu Baihu be today?
Without this little Hu Baihu, today's battle would be defeated.
At this time, the battlefield was almost finished, and County Magistrate Li rode from the city to check it out.
He had already received the news that Xie Kun had just sent back, but when he arrived at the scene, he was still shocked.
"Ziyu, this time...this time, thanks to you!" Li Zhijie said movedly.
Xie Kun waved his hand: "You'd better not thank me. If it weren't for you as my apprentice today, we would be in danger!"
Li Zhijie looked at Xu He with some surprise, and was about to ask a question. At this time, Zhang Jingxian came over with a group of people!
When he arrived, everyone realized that the two groups of thieves who had been harassing Hailing by Shuimen at night had retreated without a trace before dawn.
