Chapter 61: The So-Called Mob
Nami Castle and the Yu family mansion are closed, and the major clans are also oblivious to what is happening in the village. When the pen was on the pole www.biquge.info, the ruffians took control of all the villages and pulled out a large number of villagers who could be used as cannon fodder.
When it was time to attack the castle of the Great Clan, the ruffian left the tavern in the downtown area. He found a place on high ground and asked his cronies to bring all the troops to him. By noon, a large force of tens of thousands of men had been assembled in front of him.
The ruffian man looked at the dense human heads below, and his heart was very excited. There was a thunder on the ground, and in less than a day, he became the leader of these tens of thousands of people. His mentality at this time was like a beggar picking up a large piece of gold ingots, and in addition to being excited, he naively thought that the whole world could be bought by this gold ingot.
No matter how valuable gold ingots are, their value is limited. These tens of thousands of people seem like a lot, but they are a real rabble. It's okay to fight the big clan castle with greed and jealousy, but if you encounter a stronger opponent, you will be beaten by fancy hanging. The ruffian didn't know this, and at this time, he had already begun to fantasize about his life after replacing Nami Jushi and becoming the leader of the Twenty-Nine Village, and his crotch couldn't help but bulge.
"Brethren! The big families have the money to build castles! When something happens, they hide in the castle, regardless of our lives or death! The rich are like that! Only care about yourself, not others! Isn't the life of those of us who are poor fate? But they never treated us as human beings! I only know how to save money by stockpiling grain! Snatched all our food and money! ”
This ruffian is very good at sowing discord. In fact, the big clans and villages in the 29 villages are completely two systems, and they do not belong to each other and have little influence on each other. The villagers were not poor, but they were poor compared to the big families who could afford to build castles.
It is true that the great clans of the 29th village looked down on the people who lived in the villages, because they were illiterate, they had to break their fingers to settle accounts, their hygiene was poor, and their living conditions were not nourished by the clans. But if you say that they don't treat the villagers as human beings, then you're talking nonsense. If the big clans really didn't treat the villagers as human beings, they would have sent private soldiers to occupy the village, and then turned all the villagers into slaves, either to sell them or to keep them for their own use.
It's true that the big clans don't care about the safety of the villagers, but it's just for their own protection, which is human nature. If you swap the positions of the clan and the villagers, the villagers will do the same. It is also true to store grain and save money, but to say that the big clans have robbed the villagers of their food and money is to use strong words.
The clans and villages in the twenty-nine villages all pay taxes to Nami Castle, and it is impossible for the grain and cash obtained from the tax to flow into the pockets of the clans. The way in which the big clan and the village accumulate resources is the same, except that the resources obtained by the big clan are concentrated in their hands, while the resources of the village are scattered to the villagers, and it is not at all possible to talk about who robs whom.
However, human beings are not creatures who like to rely on reason. The ruffian's words ignited the jealousy of the villagers like sparks flying into a haystack. At this moment, it doesn't matter whether the ruffian's words are true or false, because neither the villagers who joined voluntarily nor the villagers who were forced to come here did not care about these things.
The ruffian's impassioned tone, rich facial expressions, and exaggerated body movements made them feel that these words were true. They have abandoned their minds, driven by jealousy, infected by these words of hatred of the rich.
"We are poor! The big people are rich! The poor should rob the rich! Because the rich are not good! Their money! Grain! Woman! It's all ours! ”
The ruffian waved his hand and continued.
"The big guys are all kind of men! As long as you follow me! I guarantee that you will eat and drink spicy food! There is money, food and women! All fucking rich! ”
As soon as the ruffian said that rich people are not a good thing, he immediately wanted to make everyone rich, which was obviously inconsistent. But the villagers don't care about this, because they hate the rich not because the rich are not virtuous, but because they are not the ones who are rich. The ruffian's words reached their hearts, and they were naturally happy to accept them.
So, according to the arrangement of the ruffians, the villagers went to the castle of the great clansmen.
Of these tens of thousands of villagers, less than 10,000 have weapons. The weapons of these men were scavenged from the battlefield, some belonged to the militia, some belonged to the castle garrison, some belonged to the bandits, and some belonged to the evil witches. The Witch was defeated during the night, so the army did not clean up the battlefield. During the day, the villagers began to make trouble, and it was too late to take back the weapons, which allowed such a large number of weapons to flow into the hands of the villagers.
The unarmed villagers were not empty-handed, they either carried kitchen knives and pitchforks, or found a wooden stick, burned the end black, and sharpened it little by little to make a simple wooden spear. The rest of the villagers were responsible for carrying the ladders and battering rams, so that everyone had something to do.
The ruffians divided the men into five teams and assigned them an area to capture all the castles in the designated area except for Nami Castle and the Yu family's mansion. One of the teams was led by the ruffians themselves, and about half of them were people who had participated in the sacking of the Yan family's castle, and they were veterans of the mob. The leaders of the other four teams were chosen by the villagers themselves, and they were all people with high prestige among the villagers.
Because of his experience in sacking the Yan family's castle, the ruffian knew that the castles of these big clans were not difficult to capture. As long as there are siege engines such as ladders and battering rams, the outer walls can be captured with very little loss. As long as the outer wall is broken, the big clan will have no defensive advantage and can only be slaughtered by them.
In order to get more benefits, the ruffian demarcated his attack range very large, and there were actually four big clan castles in the area, and only one or two in the other areas. This distribution made the other team leaders a little dissatisfied, but the ruffian was now the boss, so they could only endure it first, and secretly began to think about how to grab more benefits.
However, the ruffian man had more eyes, and on the pretext that he was going to attack more castles, he kept most of the siege equipment for himself, leaving only a small number of ladders for the other teams to climb the city. Now the other people who led the team couldn't bear it, and they all knew what the ruffians knew, when attacking the castle of the great clan, the more siege equipment, the faster the city would be broken. When attacking the Yan family's castle, the ruffians used almost all the siege equipment, so they were able to break the city in a very short time.
If there were only a few ladders, once the ladders were destroyed, they would have nothing to do with the gates and walls. However, the ladders made by the evil witches were not very strong, and several were damaged when attacking Nami Castle, and the villagers also lost two when they attacked Yanjia Castle.
If there are not many siege machines, the defenders can concentrate on destroying the siege equipment, and it will not be long before the other teams will have no siege equipment to use - but of course, the leaders of the other teams do not think of so much, they simply feel that the siege will slow down if there are too few siege equipment. In this way, they will not be able to quickly capture the big clan castles in their own territory, and they will be able to attack the big clan castles left by the ruffians for themselves.
The other leaders began to put pressure on the ruffians, and due to the superiority of the opponent's numbers, the ruffians had no choice but to redraw the area. There were three big clan castles in their own territory, two in each of the others' territories, and the siege equipment was also redistributed, and the leaders were satisfied with the people and left.
When I become the boss of the twenty-nine villages, I must let you spit out the benefits of eating and profit!
The ruffian spat in the direction the leaders had left, and then led his men towards his goal.
Coincidentally, the first target of this ruffian is Dan Yunhe's hometown, Danjia Castle. The Dan family is weak among the big clans in the Twenty-Nine Village, the city wall is not even four meters high, and there are not many private soldiers in the family. When the defenders on the city wall saw the black and crushing heads below, their morale immediately fell to the bottom, and they had almost no will to resist. The ruffians only drove the cannon fodder to carry out a round of attacks, and the city walls were taken, and many private soldiers defected and joined the rebels.
After the walls were taken, the rebels opened the gates, and the rebels from outside the city poured into the castle. The ruffian was naturally the one who was the most advanced in the city, and he easily caught a handyman and asked him where the women and treasures of the Dan family were. This handyman was much smarter than the previous one, he didn't tremble and show the way to the ruffian with his hands, but volunteered to lead the way.
When the ruffian saw that he was clever, he spared his life and asked him to lead the way for himself. The miscellaneous servants took the ruffians to the inner courtyard, and the private soldiers outside the inner courtyard knew that the castle had been breached when they heard the sound of the city gate opening, and when they saw the rebels, they raised their hands and surrendered. The private soldiers in the inner courtyard did not resist much, but only pretended to fight with the rebels for a while before disarming.
This time, instead of killing indiscriminately, the ruffian took the captives and asked them to join the rebels as well, so that he had more people under him.
In the inner courtyard of the Dan family there is a two-story mansion made of stone bricks. After the city wall was breached, the entire Dan family hid in this house, and the private soldiers guarding here were all diehards of the Dan family.
Dan's family is hiding in the house, but their servants are in the inner courtyard. Then the waitresses were killed, they were captured by the rebels, and their clothes were torn. The rebels carried them to the open space outside the inner courtyard and took turns to eat.
The screams of the maids frightened the ladies of the Dan family into paleness, and many of them had daggers or scissors ready, and once the house was breached, they committed suicide. The ruffian didn't expect the Dan family to play this hand, so he ordered someone to launch a fierce attack on the house, and it only took more than ten minutes to break through the house.
After the door was breached, the ladies of the Dan family who wanted to cut themselves off gathered in the innermost room and mustered up the courage to cut their own or others' throats. There are also some female dependents who have illusions about the rebels because they are afraid of death. They felt that the waitress was treated like that because their status was too low, and as a lady of a large clan, they should not be treated like this.
And Dan Yunhe's titular mother is just one of them.
Most of the men of the Dan family resisted to the death, but there were also some cowardly people who chose to surrender, and Dan Yunha's father was just one of them.
In this way, Dan Yoon-ha's father, as well as his titular mother, survived. The former expressed his willingness to join the rebels, while the latter was favored by the ruffian and carried out of the house to an empty room in the inner courtyard to enjoy alone.
Even at this time, the woman still did not recognize the reality, and threatened the ruffian that if her mother's family knew about it, they would definitely skin him and pull her tendons. But just as she said this, her mother's castle was also breached by the rebels.
When the ruffian had eaten the woman, he thought she was too noisy, so he gave her to the handyman who showed him the way. The handyman did not dare to touch his old master, but when the ruffian saw him like this, he became interested, and asked him to insult the woman in his own face. In order to survive, the miscellaneous servants could only be ruthless and put on a spring palace drama for the ruffian.
Before the play was finished, the ruffian went out to grab the money. But the miscellaneous servants entered the play, and he not only did the starring role, but also found other miscellaneous servants to act as assistants. Their former mistress no longer had the majesty of her usual days, and pleaded bitterly with the handymen who were calling and drinking on her weekdays, but the handymen turned a blind eye to this, but played more and more energetically.
Let's talk about Dan Yunha's father, after he confessed to the rebels, he didn't know which tendon in his brain was wrong, and he also went to grab the money. This man was dressed in brocade and stood out in the crowd. The rebels were all dressed in cloth, and when they saw a man in brocade come in, they stripped him naked, beat him violently, threw him aside, and continued to rob things.
When the Danjia castle was almost robbed, the ruffian asked his cronies to gather the team and lead them to continue attacking other castles. Dan Yoon-ha's father and his wife were abandoned in the castle and became the only survivors.
Before sunset, the rebels captured ten large castles. At sunset, the ruffian's party attacked the last of the Great Clan's castles and breached it before it got dark.
In this way, all the big clans in the 29th village except for the Yu family were all eliminated by Yu Changnian and Dan Yunhe by the hands of the rebels. After a night's rest, the rebels regrouped and divided into two routes, one to attack Nami Castle and the other to attack the Yu family's mansion.
