Volume 3 The Debater Chapter 122 Victory
When Lu Liang was embarrassed by the crowd to the city tower east of the warehouse, he saw that the city tower had been illuminated by torches, but on the city tower he saw a lot of people, and there were hundreds of soldiers at a rough look, in the middle of the city tower, a young man pressed his sword with one hand, standing on the top of the city tower, looking down on this group of panicked rebels, and said loudly: "Can you recognize me?"
Under the firelight, Jiang Weak's young and handsome cheeks were illuminated very clearly by the firelight, and many disciples recognized Jiang Weak.
"It's Jiang Envoy Jun! Why is he here?"
According to the plan, the county government was the first target to be attacked, even if Jiang Qiao was lucky enough not to die, how could he appear here?
"The rebels bewitched the people, and the thief leader Xie Qi gathered the crowd to attack the county government, and now they have been defeated and fled from the city, why are you a good citizen, why do you help the people to abuse and mess with the people's livelihood? Now that the imperial army has arrived, do you still have to resist stubbornly?" Jiang Miao said loudly with a cold face.
"Hugh has to listen to his rebels! The soldiers and horses of the imperial court can't be here!" Lu Liang said sharply.
The nearest imperial army here is a hundred miles away, not to mention that this incident is not a place to seal the well, but all over the entire Imperial Pole Country, even Luoyang has been attacked, where do the imperial court soldiers and horses have the kung fu to save the sealed well at this moment, Lu Liang felt a little funny for the first time.
"In this way, are you going to resist to the end?" Jiang Qiao snorted coldly, and ignored Lu Liang, although the system cannot be hypnotized and brainwashed, but in this case, as long as these rebels who are out of array believe him, it is enough.
"Jiang Envoy, we are also forced!" a rebel fell to his knees with a pop.
First raided from all sides, I don't know how many officers and soldiers came to attack, and then Jiang Wan personally led his men and horses to block here, all of which seemed to confirm what Jiang Wan said.
Seeing someone kneeling, Lu Liang was furious, he knew very well that what Jiang Liang said was simply the rebels' nonsense, not to mention that there was no army stationed near this Liang country, even if there was, how could he come to seal the well for so many years to quell the rebellion, and now, the whole world is rebelling, but he understands in his heart, for a while, but he doesn't know how to explain to others, these sect members have obviously believed Jiang Wan's nonsense.
"You and the others openly rebelled, according to the rules, they should have all been beheaded, and the three clans would be harmed!" Jiang Liang didn't give Lu Liang a chance to explain, looking at the more and more rebel sect members who knelt down and asked to surrender, the corners of his mouth pulled up a sneer, and he said angrily: "However, God has the virtue of a good life, I am for this Fengjing County Order, and you are all the people under my rule, I can't bear to sacrifice the butcher's knife to you!"
"Make Jun benevolent!"
"Be merciful!"
For a while, the hearts of these people who were driven here were suddenly relieved, and the downstairs of the city was full of words of gratitude, and the angry Lu Liang almost fainted.
"Although the law does not blame the public, the first evil will be punished!" Jiang Liang lowered his eyes on Lu Liang and said in a deep voice: "If you sacrifice the first evil, this official can be the master and wait for a way to live." ”
As Jiang Qiao's voice fell, in an instant, Lu Liang felt countless malicious eyes fall on him, and his complexion couldn't help but change greatly, and he said sharply: "What do you want!"
Lu Liang's cronies also protected Lu Liang.
"It's all you bastard, so much so that we almost became traitors!" a burly strong man picked up the long stick in his hand and smashed it towards a cronie beside Lu Liang.
"Look for death!" Lu Liang's cronies around him are all trained, and some of them are even directly from bandits, and the means are not comparable to these ordinary sect members, a cronie hacked the strong man to death with a backhand, but soon, more people pounced.
"Kill, kill!" Lu Liang brandished his sword angrily, slashing the sect members who kept rushing up, but he was mad in his heart, these should have been his subordinates, the rebels helped the people, at this moment, once he turned the spearhead and aimed at him, he found that these rabbles who were frightened by others actually had such terrifying combat power, even if he was surrounded by bandit guards who licked blood with knives, in the face of these former servants and crazy sect members, there were fewer and fewer cronies who could stick to his side.
On the city tower, Wang Hai watched such a large group of people deal with dozens of people, and he couldn't attack for a long time, and he hugged his fists towards Jiang Wan with some impatience and said, "Lord, I'll clean them up!"
"No need!" Jiang Liang shook his head, he knew the situation in the city better than Lu Liang, Lu Liang and these people must be killed by these people, first, they don't have to waste their strength, and secondly, it is equivalent to a vote, as far as he knows, Lu Liang is Xie Qi's friend, these people killed Lu Liang, to a certain extent, they are in the same boat as themselves, and even if they find out the truth, it is impossible to get off the boat again.
Seeing that the overall situation had been decided, Jiang Qiao looked at Wang Haidao and said, "You quickly take someone to pick up the family members in the house and bring them here!"
At least this treasury has been taken, with the treasury in hand, plus these people guarding it, it is safe for the time being.
"Wow!" Wang Hai agreed, and ordered a team of people to follow him away.
On the side, Dong Ping's face couldn't help but turn pale when he saw this, it seemed that there were a large number of people and horses on this city tower, only when he stood on the city tower, he knew that the real number of the so-called large number of people and horses was not as good as it seemed, and the rest were dressed up with straw men wearing clothes and armor or corpses pulled directly from the street, just standing here, they all felt panicked, and now Wang Hai pulled away half of the living people at once, he was really worried that after the truth was discovered, Jiang Qiao couldn't control the scene.
It's just that his worries are obviously too much, the low combat effectiveness of these rebels is outrageous, and after a while, Lu Liang's head was cut off and sent to the city tower, in the distance, Yeluqi and Meng Dan have also arrived from two directions with men and horses, so far, the battle of the treasury is over, Jiang Qiao not only did not lose a single soldier to take the treasury, but also incorporated hundreds of rebel sects, although the combat effectiveness is low, but it is better than nothing.
"My lord, the number of these rebels is twice as many as our army, and now the situation of the well is critical, even if the lord is benevolent and does not kill these people, they should be expelled, stay here, I am afraid that there will be disaster. "The overall situation has been decided, Lu Liang's head has been hung on the city tower outside the treasury, looking at the rebels who have been confiscated under the care of Fang Yue and others, Dong Ping is still a little worried.
"It's impossible to put it back. Jiang Qiao looked at the sky that was gradually brightening, and shook his head: "We are short of manpower now, although these people are not strong enough in battle, but they can be used to defend the city." ”
"But they ......" Dong Ping looked at Jiang Qiao with a wry smile, regardless of the combat effectiveness of these people, these people surrendered when they thought the general trend had gone, but in fact, in this Fengjing County, only here is temporarily under the control of the imperial court, and even the government has been burned, this situation must not be hidden, Dong Ping is very worried that these people will mutiny.
"My lord, the count has been completed, excluding those who were shot and trampled on each other and died, last night's battle, a total of seven hundred and sixty-three troops were surrendered. Fang Yue walked up to the city wall and bowed to Jiang Wan.
"In this way, we have more than a thousand people. Jiang Wan nodded.
"Yes!" Fang Yue hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "It's just that these people have reduced their combat strength......"
"Better than nothing. Jiang Wan shook his head and said: "Disperse the surrendered army, mix our people into it, select their elite to serve as the commander of the army, the chief and the general, and train the rest as soon as possible except for arranging guards." ”
"This ......" Fang Yue smiled bitterly: "Time is in a hurry, I'm afraid I can't train into an army?"
"You don't need to train to be an army, you just need to be able to stand in a basic queue and not be afraid to fight when fighting. Jiang said with a smile: "Now that the treasury is in our hands, the rebels have no food, we just need to guard this treasury without losing it, it won't take a few days, the rebels are in chaos, we have time." ”
"Wow!" Fang Yue bowed and went to give the order.
"Lord, what should I do next?" Dong Ping sighed, knowing that there was no choice now, Dong Ping was quite admired for Jiang Qiao's ability to train and use soldiers, but at this moment, Fengjing City was full of rebels, and it was impossible for Xie Qi to give Jiang Qiao time to train his troops.
"Liaison with the gentry of the city, alive, all united, sealed the well, I don't believe that all of them have become rebels. Jiang Wan looked at the direction outside the city tower and thought: "It's a pity that there is too little information now, and we have no way of knowing what the situation outside is." ”
"Envoy, a group of people have come to the south and want to come in. A county soldier rushed over, came to Jiang Qiao's side, and bowed.
"People?" Jiang Qiao's brows sank when he heard this: "Go and take a look." ”
To the south of the treasury, outside the wall, I saw a large number of people crowded outside, with a look of panic, constantly banging on the door of the treasury, the sound of pleading, crying sounded, and in the distance, I saw a rebel thief hovering in the distance, watching the situation here.
"My lord, this is a treacherous plan of the rebels and traitors, they drive the people to vote, once we open the gate, these traitors will come to attack immediately, and among these people, there must be mixed with thieves and spies, once the door is opened, the consequences are unimaginable. Dong Ping looked at the scene in front of him, his face couldn't help but change greatly, and he bowed to Jiang Qiao.
Jiang Wei nodded, how could he not see such an obvious strategy.
"It's just...... If you don't let these people in, they will be slaughtered by the rebels......" A military marquis looked at Jiang Qiao hesitantly.
"Bring out some weapons from the warehouse and throw them down, now we can't protect ourselves, once we die, this well will really become the world of the rebels!" Jiang Wan stood on the city tower and said loudly: "The people under the city listen!"
Downstairs in the city, when the people saw Jiang Weak, their eyes suddenly had anticipation, not only did they not stop shouting, but they became louder.
"Shut up!" Jiang Wan frowned, his eyes widened, and he shouted sharply.
The crowd fell silent.
"At an extraordinary time, this official can't open the door for you!" Jiang Qiao took a deep breath and said loudly.
"Do you want to watch me and other innocent people die?" many people shouted.
"The life is earned by oneself, not given by others, the official can give you weapons to defend himself, if there is no food, the official can also distribute food to you, but this treasury is the last remaining place to seal the well, there is no room for loss, look at your back, once the official opens the door, those rebels and thieves will immediately rush in. Jiang Miao pointed to the distance and said in a deep voice: "As soon as the door opens, not only will it not save you, but it will make you die faster!"
It's just a group of people, where will they pay attention to it for so many years, now, they only know that Jiang Wan won't let them enter the door, and they suddenly make a noise, one by one, they are angry, they scold at the city wall, and some people even invite wooden stakes and want to bang on the door.
"Archers prepare!" Jiang Qiao's expression turned sharp and he shouted.
"Crunch~" Behind Jiang Qiao, dozens of archers quickly drew their longbows, in this treasury, there is not only food and grass, but also weapons and armor, and there is no shortage of bows and crossbows, Jiang Qiao's soldiers have already been rearmed last night.
"I don't believe it, he dares to do it to innocent people!" In the crowd, a middle-aged man angrily raised the wooden stick in his hand and threw it towards the city tower.
"Bold! let go!" Jiang Qiao's eyes were cold, and his raised arm suddenly fell.
"Woo Woo Woo ~ "
Dozens of sharp arrows broke through the air and fell towards the crowd, and the blood flowers shot were accompanied by screams, which made the crowd suddenly chaotic, these people did not expect that Jiang Wan would really give the order to do it, and he did not show the slightest emotion, in an instant, the scolding just now was much weaker, followed by a lot of cries sounded under the city tower.
"Don't let it go!" After a round of arrows was fired, the soldiers behind him twisted their bows and arrows again, Jiang Wan waved his hand, looked at the people downstairs in the city, and said loudly: "If you are willing to stay, weapons and food will be distributed here, and you can build a layer of defense on the periphery to protect yourself, if you feel that the official is ruthless, you can also leave." ”
After the previous deterrence, no one dared to say anything, just waited for a while, but no one was willing to leave, after all, at least they could eat here, and with Jiang Weak and other officials by their side, their hearts were also more steady.
"If anyone dares to instigate everyone to attack the city, release the arrows immediately, don't hesitate!" Listening to the constant crying outside the city, Jiang Wan was depressed in his heart, and after explaining to the garrison marquis, he turned around and left.
"This Jiang Weak, be really ruthless!" Outside the treasury, the meticulous work mixed with the refugees came back and told him what had happened, Xie Qi's heart couldn't help but sink a little, obviously Jiang Weak's actions were definitely beyond his expectations.
"My lord, that Jiang is weak and refuses to be fooled, so what should we do?" A rebel thief looked at Xie Qi worriedly: "If we don't have this food, we may not be able to continue." ”
When Xie Qi heard this, his expression became even more gloomy, and he slammed the wall hard, and scolded angrily: "Lu Liang is bad for me!"
Who would have thought that Jiang Weak would be able to capture the treasury occupied by the rebels who led the forward rebels with only about 200 people, the shortcomings of the rebel army's insufficient combat strength and incomplete equipment Xie Qi naturally knew, but no matter how bad it was, he didn't expect to be defeated so easily by Jiang Weak's outnumbered enemy, and he didn't even have time to react.
"My lord, that dog has few officers and soldiers, how about I wait for a strong attack?" A rebel thief general suggested, at the beginning, he felt that Xie Qi's approach was a bit redundant, and there were only a few people in Jiang Qiao's hands, if he kept running, he wouldn't be able to catch it for a while, but at this time, defending it was tantamount to asking for his own death.
Xie Qi sighed secretly in his heart, he didn't want to do this, but the chaos in the city now really made him feel a little powerless, and now, he couldn't even figure out how many people he had.
