Chapter 324 Breaking the Village
On this day, a small scramble appeared on the rebels, the cause of the clash was the friction between the two families that were already not on good terms, which eventually led to dozens of people on each side cutting each other, and when the situation was under control, seven or eight people were already injured.
This is actually a situation of mutual restraint, although there are no dead people, when the matter was reported to Li Lei, Li Lei, who was sitting on the chair, still grabbed the armrest of the chair and squeaked, unable to say a word.
Using this incident as a starting point, frictions and fights broke out frequently, and then people began to go missing. Bosses large and small are desperately trying to stabilize the situation, and then the suspicion between the bosses is actually escalating.
But in fact, everyone understands who is the mastermind and the leader behind pushing things to this point.
Hao Jingcheng, at this time, even the most determined and die-hard elements in the rebel army had to realize that this seemingly weak scholar had brought unbearable pain to the rebels, and this person's next means were far from even reaching the end of the moment.
A cottage against a person, and finally to such a field, thinking about it like this, people can't help but feel cold in their hearts.
In the days that followed, the situation intensified, and leaders began to try to leave the rebels, but not many actually did.
Early that morning, the army of the local officials broke through the fog and began to blockade the cottage and pounce on the rebels. To put an end to the whole state of affairs, it has been less than a month since the rebels had reorganized their troops in high spirits before, and the local officials and troops had rushed to the door at this time.
That night, the entire cottage island gradually fell into hell in the midst of fire and killing.
When the sun set, the commander of the local official army pressed the handle of his sword, stood at the front of the brigade, and watched the banner of the rebels on the cottage in the distance fall from the flagpole.
At the same moment, above the cottage, or in the foothills on the other side, a leader watched the chaos appear, expand, and finally irreparable, and let out a cry of grief.
The entire war process of the local official army attacking the cottage lasted only two days. On the first day, the offensive of the officers and soldiers was carried out with extreme caution, because before the cottage reached its present size, the local officers and soldiers had already returned several times.
This time, although there was the battle of Langya Ridge in front, the commander Zhang Rui still could not take it lightly, and blocked the Qinglong Mountain Cottage at the beginning, carefully figured out the defense of the cottage in the surrounding several small cottages, and only at noon on this day did he start a tentative attack.
The attack on several small cottages around the city was actually met with a lot of resistance, but to be honest, these resistances were not as strong as the previous ones, and even under the conservative defense of the officers and soldiers, the attacks on the side of the cottage were clumsy.
After perceiving this, Zhang Rui began to order a formal attack, knocking out the strongholds of several cottages on the periphery, and the offensive against several small cottages came to an end at night, and then, a strange situation happened.
At the end of the battle, there will always be people who surrender, and this time, the first to surrender brought the heads of their companions, and then it seemed that the demons released because of the fall of night were breeding in the hearts of people, and some of the guards chose to flee, and the other part, in the night, began to fight among themselves.
Everything was just as the man from the capital said, heads for lives and rewards, and some of the first people may have taken the heads of their comrades who had died in battle, and then when a small number of people could not flee and there were not enough corpses, they swung their knives at the people around them. And the commander Zhang Rui's side has also issued a strict order at this time, there are people who can live, and people who don't have heads can only die.
The next day, the attack on the rebels' main village began, the army fought on the mountain road near the cottage, and in the afternoon of this day, the main force of the local official army began to break through the cottage, when the first position was occupied, ready to attack, they were greeted not by the huge resistance of the cottage, but by the ...... The entire cottage bandit force collapsed on its own.
According to the comparison of the previous combat experience, the local official army's attack on the cottage this time was like a steel knife cutting into a piece of tofu. No one realized that the whole process would be so fast, and even the collapse of the second half of it was not the steel knife that cut through it.
For Zhang Rui, he could only gradually piece together the truth of the matter from the mouths of some captured prisoners.
Just a few days before the attack of the officers and soldiers, the situation of the entire cottage was already in a state of suspicion and fear. Things are moving so fast that many people haven't reacted yet, but the cruel truth has already appeared in front of everyone, and they can't help but believe it or not.
Friction, estrangement, quarrels, and small-scale fights are not the most serious things, and the most troublesome and sensitive thing is that when the news of the merit of the head of the person spreads, it leads to the disappearance of a few people. Sometimes, the body will even be found from the back of someone's house, and even the people inside the cottage can't be sure whether the person was killed by the other party or if there is an opponent who planted the blame.
The big bosses tried to suppress the situation, but they also inevitably guarded each other and connected with each other, and the frequency of patrols and strict inspections were increased, but this did not help, the smartest people were trying to organize small groups from the beginning, and then the people of different local factions were also in contact with each other for self-preservation, they looked after their families, and as long as someone was watching, they became extremely sensitive.
For several days in a row, there were dead people, clashes in the dark, conflicts on the surface. Although it is a rebel cottage of tens of thousands of people, it is also very scary to kill a few dozen people like this.
After the accusations and conflicts began to become apparent, everyone realized that the collapse was coming, and the leaders above could no longer be suppressed.
The close henchmen will begin to test whether the boss above intends to surrender or run away, and the boss above will also test the thoughts of the henchmen.
In this process, when the officers and soldiers began to attack, the situation of the entire cottage was already like a large group of hot patients wrapped in the body, and it was about to erupt at any time, but if there was no external force, the whole process would probably have to last for a while.
Even when the famine came, when the land was full of hunger, the suspicion and vigilance among the hungry refugees were never oppressed and aroused to such an extent.
Not only have the people in the cottage not experienced such a situation, but even Zhang Rui, the local official army, has never seen this kind of thing before, which is simply too incredible.
