Patriarch Li has long heard that there are larger Liukou who can even fight the county seat, and if they come to attack Lijiatun Fort, I am afraid that thousands of people here will die, and they will die without redemption.

He wanted to lead his people to find a safe place, but he didn't know where to stay, and when he was in a dilemma, the Nanguo Gongmen appeared in front of him, how could he miss such an opportunity?

Xu Sijiu chatted with this Luo Di Xiucai for an hour and introduced him to the basic situation of the Huang family.

Patriarch Li was very excited to learn that his homeland of Jiaozhi had become the territory of the Huang family, and knew that there were a large number of acres of land there that urgently needed to be cultivated by the common people, and each household that went there would receive five acres of private land, and he did not even have to pay taxes.

When the clansmen dragged their families south, the food along the way was not good, but it would definitely be able to keep every common person fed and clothed, and such good immigration conditions strengthened the confidence of Patriarch Li to lead the whole clan to move south.

Next, the family members of the "God of War" will go east, and they will approach the war zone and do their best to save more people.

Patriarch Li was inspired, and he sent eight men from the clan who had been practicing martial arts since childhood, because these people were familiar with the terrain and could be good guides.

Xu Sijiu and Guo Sanxi led 800 men and horses, pushed 400 wheelbarrows loaded with 1,600 stone of grain and continued to advance westward.

In the team, there were eight locals such as Li Yiyong and Li Yiquan riding horses. Patriarch Li equipped the eight men with leather armor and hunting bows just in case, so they all had a certain amount of combat power and defense.

On the first day of December in the sixth year of Chongzhen, Xu Sijiu and Guo Sanxi's team approached about fifty miles east of Yiyang County, and reported that a large number of rogues were besieging the county seat.

In charge of the sentry horses is the chief flag officer of Zhu Guobing, who was born in the pro-soldier team, and six other people are also chief flag officers, who are also from the pro-soldier team, and the other twenty-nine are horsemen recruited in Henan, which is not considered cavalry.

Each group of eighteen and the four martial artists of Lijiabao took turns to advance and investigate, often climbing the heights and using the clairtelescopes they carried to observe the situation around the official road, and would go back and forth to investigate at least three times when they encountered dangerous terrain.

Zhu Guobing knows that the food on the wheelbarrow will attract too many thieves to covet, and if the food is seized by the thieves due to negligence, the bad people will starve to death too many good people, and the responsibility is heavy.

Taking advantage of the freezing of the Yellow River, the rogue who jumped out of the huge encirclement of the officers and soldiers spread like locusts again, and Henan, which was already unsustainable by disasters for many years, was burned and looted by these thieves. The erosion of the Central Plains is a foregone conclusion.

After the thieves swept away, there were no pieces left, and their ferocity was no less than that of Jiannu, and because of the large number of people who were coerced, the ranks of the thieves swelled rapidly like a snowball.

King Zijin Liang was pushed as the leader of the alliance by the 36th battalion of anti-bone boys for his own use, and the thieves who had fattened up the rogues entered the northwest of Henan in order to get rid of the chasing troops who followed, and they already had the strength to attack the county seat.

After several successful attacks on the county seat, the anti-bones were replenished with weapons and food, and they had confidence in themselves, and the thieves under their command were willing to follow the attack on the county seat.

Because every time the bones of these thieves break the city, they will grab too much gold, silver, treasures and beauties, and there will be more or less grain in the official warehouse in the city, and the thieves will collect all the food in the vicinity and hold it in their hands.

Ordinary people who don't want to be thieves have to choose suicide or starve to death, and if they want to survive by stealing, they have to follow the thieves to continue to plague the next city.

The thieves were very cruel, and they drove the civilians who had just been forced to follow to charge the city with wooden planks, ladders, sandbags and other rudimentary siege materials to charge the city as cannon fodder.

Sometimes the will of the soldiers and civilians defending the city is quite resolute, and the battle situation is more tragic, and the corpses of the people under the city are piled up, and the backbone of the rogue can rush to the city with the corpses of the people.

The rogues call their new force the old camp brothers, and as the name suggests, they are all old bandits.

The 36th battalion of the rogue organization was chaotic, they either did it alone or in partnership to plunder, and several big masters of the Zijin Liang Department destroyed the mountain tigers, cupola pillars, and oil slippery and tangled more than 20,000 people to prepare to besiege Yiyang County.

Jin Huijia, the county magistrate of Yiyang, paid close attention to the movements of the thieves, and he had learned that several county towns had been broken by thieves, and the county magistrate and a family had all died unexpectedly, and some scholars had been poisoned by the thieves in every way before they died in pain.

Jin Zhixian sent out the four family members who had been with him from his hometown to inquire about the news of the thieves, and these family members were all children of the clan, and their loyalty was beyond doubt.

They found that a large number of rogues were pouring in all over the mountains, and when they realized that the momentum was not right, they hurried back to report to the owner, and Jin Zhixian decided to abandon the city and flee immediately.

In Yiyang County, there lived a township official, Li Zhongzheng, who once served as the head of the Ministry of War.

His family is a prominent family in Yiyang County, this person is bloody, not only did not run away, but also took out private property and food to gather the family to recruit strong men in the city to prepare to defend the city.

There is also a student named Chang Xingshen who is also a family of Yin Shi in Yiyang County, he mobilized more than 200 children in the clan to take the initiative to assist Li Zhongzheng in defending the city, and many officials and ordinary people have responded, collecting all kinds of instruments to follow.

Although there are more than 20,000 people gathered in the mountain-destroying tigers, cupola pillars, and oil-slippery, in fact, most of these people are ordinary people in Henan who have just been coerced, and they belong to the rabble, and there are only two or three thousand old battalion habitual bandits who have combat effectiveness.

Even so, more than 20,000 people and horses came overwhelmingly, and the momentum still made the soldiers and civilians who held Yiyang County shudder.

The frenzied rogues drove the common people to attack the city in a mess with ladders, door panels, and giant trees.

They did not have a unified command, nor did they choose any key breakthroughs, they just relied on the large number of people and risked the lives of the common people to consume the rolling wood and arrows of the defenders at the head of Yiyang City.

The leaders of the mountain destroyer tiger and other leaders took the habitual bandits of the old camp to suppress the formation, and found that the people who were driven away turned around and immediately slashed and slashed, and the poor innocent people were all killed in advance and retreat, and the cry under Yiyang City shook the sky.

Flesh and blood cannibalism, mountains and rivers change color, the soldiers and civilians at the head of the city are also extremely sad in their hearts, and many of them know who were killed under the city, and they are all villagers from the nearby towns and eight miles!

Li Zhongzheng shouted at the city with red eyes: "Folks, don't come up again, pick up weapons and kill those thieves behind!" If you die under the city, you will be killed from the thief's rebellion, and even if you turn around and attack the thief, you will be a martyr! ”

Li Zhongzheng knew that this battle might be more auspicious, he was ready to take his people to sacrifice his life for righteousness, and also called on the villagers not to rebel, but it was a pity that it would be useless for him to shout hoarsely.

The coerced people will be constantly killed by the thieves who supervise the war even if they run a little slower, and they dare not face the thieves' knives and spears, so they can only choose to attack the city again and again.
