Since you have decided to do a big job, you must also be prepared.

Gao Yingxiang ordered that the only more than 100 cauldrons and some iron tools on Laojun Mountain were melted and cast into 1,000 spearheads, and then made into long spears.

After all, it is an attack on the county seat, and there are few family tasks to take advantage of, how can it be possible to defeat the county seat.

On the third day, Gao Yingxiang and Xu Liang took more than 10,000 people on Laojun Mountain to kill Linyang County.

If you look down from a high place, the whole team is roughly divided into two parts, and the first part is all young people, carrying large swords and spears in their hands. At the end were the old and weak women and children, with what little possessions they had.

Of course, there were only more than 1,000 people carrying broadswords and spears, and the others were holding sharpened wooden spears in their hands.

As for why the wooden gun was held. Please, let's melt all the iron pots and hoes and other iron saws on Laojun Mountain to make 1,000 spears. As for you, just take a wooden gun.

And Gao Yingxiang, Xu Liang, and Zhao Deliang are riding three little donkeys, leading the team in high spirits. Among them, the little donkey made by Zhao Deliang was obviously a little bad and limped around Zhao Deliang.

Although all the generals of the army have been riding horses and galloping on the battlefield since ancient times, it is just that for Gao Yingxiang and others who have long been so hungry that they don't even have food to eat, it is already a great gift to have three little donkeys.

Due to the heavy snowfall, the number of people entering and leaving the county town has decreased suddenly, so the gate of Linyang County has been closed very early, and at this time four or five officers and soldiers are leaning against the city wall, holding spears in their arms and shivering from time to time, gathering together idle and chatting.

Although they are said to be officers and soldiers, they do not have the heroic spirit of soldiers, if it is not for the fact that they are full of patches, black clothes that cannot be black, they are the standard mandarin duck robes of the Ming army, but they look like a group of scoundrels.

"Lao Zhao, how about going to my house for a drink after the changing of the guard later."

One soldier grinned at the man standing beside him.

The soldier, known as Lao Zhao, glanced at the person who spoke and rolled his eyes.

"Come on, little Liuzi. If I really go to your house to drink, hey, my phoenix this month will have to be robbed by your mother-in-law."

"Your wine doesn't taste good."

Lao Zhao's words caused several other soldiers sitting around him to laugh.

Xiao Liuzi felt that he couldn't hold it on his face, scolded and said a few words, then stood up and looked out of the city, and was suddenly startled by the scene in front of him.

I saw that out of sight, seven or eight kilometers away was densely black, I don't know what it is, it seems to be running here.

Xiao Liuzi closed his eyes vigorously, opened them, and then rubbed his eyes with his hands, and looked into the distance again.

"Hey, hey, hey, get up and see what's in that place."

Xiao Liuzi's tone was hurried, and he kicked a few people squatting on the ground with his feet.

"Little Liuzi, what the hell are you sending ......... again?"

Before Lao Zhao finished speaking, he was stunned by the scene in front of him. The mouth was constantly swallowing saliva, and as for the other enemies, they were also dumbfounded.

However, due to the distance, I could only see a black field, but I didn't know what it was.

It's just that soon the group of black things approached the county seat. Lao Zhao looked at the dense crowd two or three kilometers away, and suddenly felt that his scalp was numb.

At this time, if Lao Zhao and the others still can't see what they are doing, then they have worked in vain for decades.

"Hurry up and go to the bell tower and ring the gong".

Lao Zhao kicked the little six sons who were in a daze, and said hurriedly.

Xiao Ri reacted instantly, and ran to the bell tower and rang the big gong.

Suddenly, the sound of the gong spread throughout the county, and the Gao Wei and others outside the city naturally heard the sound of the gong from the city.

"Let the brethren rest in place for an hour, and after an hour we will begin to attack the county seat."

Gao Yingxiang turned around and commanded a little minions who were following him.

After all, Laojun Mountain is more than 20 kilometers away from the county seat, and it took seven or eight hours to arrive at the county seat.

Although it is said that if you directly attack the county seat now, the effect is the best, but the distance of dozens of kilometers has already made the people under your command tired and half dead, and besides, this is an attack on the county seat, and you must make an attack plan, and you can't just fight randomly.

At this time, the city was also in chaos, and countless ordinary people hid in their homes, not daring to take half a step.

At this time, the county government of Linyang County.

An obese official wearing a bright red official uniform and sniffing birds on his chest was looking at Lao Zhao who was kneeling on the ground with a pale face.

The fat official in front of him is the county magistrate of Linyang County. This person's name is Zhu Quanquan, but don't think that his surname is Zhu and think that he is a relative of the emperor, he is just an alternate official in the Wanli period, and he has spent decades and given many gifts before he got the position of the county commander of Linyang County.

is the so-called three-year Qing Governor's Mansion, 100,000 snowflakes of silver. Since taking office, Zhu Qiquan has begun to loot the people's fat and ointment on a large scale, and I don't know how many families have been ruined. Although there are also ordinary people who complain, they are all bribed with money, and as for those who complain, perhaps their graves are already covered with grass. So much so that the common people cursed Zhu Qiquan with well-dressed beasts.

In fact, the well-dressed beast was originally a compliment, derived from the clothing of officials in the Ming Dynasty.

According to historical records, the Ming Dynasty stipulated that civil officials embroidered birds in their uniforms, and painted beasts in military officials' uniforms. Different grades, embroidered birds and beasts are also different, the specific regulations are.

The civil officials are first-grade cranes, second-grade golden pheasants, third-grade peacocks, fourth-grade cloud geese, fifth-grade white pheasants, sixth-grade egrets, seventh-grade emus, eighth-grade yellow orioles, and ninth-grade quails.

The first and second grades of military attachés are painted with lions, the third with tigers, the fourth with leopards, the fifth with bears, the sixth and seventh with biao, the eighth with rhinoceros, and the ninth with seahorses.

Civil and military officials wear red robes from the first to fourth ranks, green robes from the fifth to seventh ranks, and green robes from the eighth and ninth ranks.

Therefore, at that time, the phrase "well-dressed beasts" was a praise language, which was quite enviable.

By the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the eunuchs were autocratic and politically corrupt. The political concept of "civil death advice, military death war" was completely subverted by corrupt officials and ministers. Officialdom is corrupt, civil officials love money, and military generals are afraid of death.

The civilian and military generals oppressed the people and did all kinds of evil, and their reputation was notorious, and the common people regarded them as bandits and plague gods, so the term "well-dressed beasts" began to have a derogatory meaning, and the common people called the civil and military officials who did evil and had bad morals "well-dressed beasts."

"What's going on out there? How many of them are there"?

"There are people outside the adults, and I can't see how many there are at all, and the little ones estimate that there are about 10,000 people."

The obese official's already pale face suddenly turned even paler.

"What, what? more than 10,000 people".

After hearing Lao Zhao's words, Zhu Quanquan immediately stammered a little when he spoke, but he quickly reacted again.

"Zhao Bantou, you hurry up and ride to Lin Yangwei to find Li Qianhu now, and ask him to send someone to rescue him quickly."

Looking at Lao Zhao, who was still kneeling on the ground, Zhu Qi kicked with his foot angrily.

"Don't hurry up yet".

Outside the city, Zhao Bantou took advantage of Gao Yingxiang's failure to surround the entire Linyang County, at least quickly walked out and went straight to the Thousand Households.

"The great boss has just come out of the city on horseback, and the brothers can't catch up with him, so he let him run away."

A little minion panted and ran to Gao Yingxiang to report.

"Mr. Zhao, Brother Xu, it seems that they are going to Qianhusu to move the rescue soldiers."

Gao Yingxiang turned his head to look at Xu Liang and Zhao Deliang, and said with a relaxed face.

"Then we will start attacking the city now", Xu Liang looked at Gao Yingxiang with a serious face and said.

"Don't worry, we all know what the guardianship is like, and if they can catch it in two hours, or if they do, it's just a matter of cutting off a few more heads for us.

Or rest for two hours according to the original plan, and capture the county seat after two hours."
