Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Bloody Battle of Stone Wind

News of the riot in the south of the city reached the castle lord's mansion. The city lord was very surprised to hear the news, but I have to say that this person is also a little bold, so he calmed down and took the armor from the bedroom and put it on his body, and took the sword that had been hanging on the wall as an ornament and led people to the official camp in the city to transfer people.

When the officers and soldiers saw the city lord personally draped in, they were all excited. Although it was difficult for the Stone Wind City Lord to walk in armor, no one laughed at him. The officers and soldiers took the lead in killing the south of the city in an attempt to suppress the rebellious refugees.

The refugees had been hungry for days, and all they had with were sticks and stones, which were opponents of the officers and soldiers. In the face of no more than 1,000 officers and soldiers, the offensive of tens of thousands of refugees was stopped and crushed to retreat.

After Wei Zeng and his party finished equipping themselves from the armory, they greeted the officers and soldiers who had been killed. I saw that the refugees kept fleeing back along the way. Not far away, he saw a group of officers and soldiers suppressing the refugees, and the Shifeng City Lord was also wielding a sword and commanding.

When the Stone Wind City Lord saw a group of people in armor rushing over, and saw Qi Weilun following the sergeant who thought he was in the armory, he said, "It's the brothers from the armory over there, come with me to drive these mobs out of the city." There is also a friend who asks Mr. Dao, it is dangerous here, hurry up and go to the City Lord's Mansion. I have ordered the others to be brought there, and asked where the gentleman must have been. ”

When Qi Weilun heard the Stone Wind City Lord say this, he responded to Wei Zeng and Gu Cha and led people to approach the Stone Wind City Lord. The Shifeng City Lord was completely defenseless, and asked several people if the armory was safe and how the situation was in the south of the city.

The Stone Wind City Lord suddenly saw that these "official soldiers" wearing armor were followed by chaotic people with weapons in their hands and tattered clothes, and he was alarmed at the moment. But it was too late, Gu Cha shot him off the horse one by one, and Wei Zeng killed him. Others also took the opportunity to attack the unsuspecting officers and troops, and the situation was reversed for a while.

Several officials who came with the Stone Wind City Lord were a little speechless when they saw Qi Weilun actually helping the mob. Seeing the swarming refugees, he was so frightened that he fled directly back to the City Lord's Mansion.

Although Sagali is a woman, her martial arts are also excellent, and she does not flinch at all in the battle with the official army, and her courage to take the lead makes many men who are afraid of death blush. Sagaree put on a golden armor, and the short spear was replaced by a spear, and she really did not fall into the name of the Valkyrie in battle.

Wei Zeng and Gu Chayi led armed refugees and officers to fight fiercely in the city. I don't know who cut off the heads of the city guards and the Shifeng City Lord and hung them on the flagpole. The officers and soldiers in the city were all frightened when they saw this, and they were defeated as soon as they fought with the armed refugees. Not long after, Wei Zeng and Gu Cha attacked the City Lord's Mansion.

The Lord's Mansion is a small fortress with high walls and many battlements for archery. There is a large open space around the city lord's mansion and the people's houses, and there is no shelter at all.

Wei Zeng and Gu Chayi led the refugees to attack several times without success, and they were all stopped by the bows and arrows they fired. But after a while, good news came from all sides, and the city gates around it had been controlled by the rebels, and the city lord's mansion was completely isolated.

Wei Zeng immediately sent people to surround the city lord's mansion, and looked at the refugees who were already a little tired from the battle, and decided to open the warehouse first to release grain. Some of the refugees looted as soon as they entered the city, and the outlaws of the city also mixed in with the ranks of the rebels to commit crimes. When Wei Zeng found out, he ordered people to patrol around and crack down on those who took advantage of the chaos to do evil.

Wei Zeng instructed the people to distribute the food to the people. At this time, Wei Zhen and Yan Xiuxiu also came into the city to help Wei Zeng and Gu Chayi arrange matters.

Qi Weilun looked at the refugees who had finally survived with food, and felt a sense of relief in his heart; But there is another worry, now that he is cooperating with Wei Zeng and others to attack Shifeng City, the crime of gathering people to rebel is already an ironclad matter, and soon the officers and soldiers will inevitably come to encircle and suppress it, and how to deal with it is a difficult problem at that time.

"What is Big Brother worried about? We have already attacked this Stone Wind City, and only the City Lord's Mansion is left to resist stubbornly, and I believe that as long as it is surrounded for a few days, they will definitely not be able to hold on. Wei Zeng said.

"Whatever is foreseen is established, and what is not prepared is wasted. I'm just thinking about what's going to come. Now we are already riding a tiger, and if it falls into the hands of the officials and soldiers, I am afraid that no one will escape death. Shifeng City is an important town in Yanbei, and it is impossible for the imperial court to sit idly by, and the closest to this place is the Jingnan Army stationed at the junction of Yanbei and Xuhuai. In a dozen days at the shortest, or at most 20 days, the Jingnan army will arrive here. If they can't cope with them, these refugees will only have to live for a few more days. The brutality of the Jingnan Army, presumably the virtuous brother should be clear. Qi Weiren said.

"In Yishan Flying Eagle Village, I can transfer up to 1,000 people. The people of Feiying Village fight with Xiangma and Zhantu people all year round, and they also have a certain combat effectiveness. But after all, far water can't quench the thirst of the near, and it will take at least a month to get to Shifeng City. Although these refugees have average combat effectiveness, they are also numerous, so as long as they organize to defend the city, they can do it. Wei Zeng groaned.

"That's right, the top priority is to organize these refugees and win the hearts and minds of the people of Stone Wind City. Brother Xian did a good job during the day, and you sent people to stop those outlaws, at least leaving a good impression on the people of Stone Wind City. The people of Stone Wind City must also be suffering from harsh governance, as long as the virtuous brother promises to abolish the harsh government of the imperial court and open the treasury widely, I think there will be many people who will support us in the future. As long as we can stand on our feet, we can talk about other things. Qi Weiren said.

"I don't understand these things, but I have to ask my eldest brother more. I still have some experience in organizing these refugees, so I'll leave it to me. Now the top priority is to capture the city lord's mansion first, otherwise it will not be good to wait for the Jingnan army to come. Wei Zeng pondered.

"Okay, I've read for a few more years, and I know a little bit about the past of the previous dynasty, so I'll leave it to me to appease everyone and win the hearts of the people. There will be a lot of losses for the strong attack on the City Lord's Mansion, and it is better to attack the heart, and they are the ones who are anxious when they are surrounded by us now. It is better to have people harass them day and night, and then offer some favorable conditions to persuade them to surrender. Those people are only for their own sake, and it is impossible to be united. Qi Weiren said.

At present, Wei Zeng adopts a restrained approach to organizing refugees. He and Gu Chayi were naturally the core, and the hundred or so people were directly under the command of Wei Zeng and Gu Chayi, and then the able-bodied ones were selected from among the refugees and given weapons to appoint commanders to control them. Others, the old, weak, sick and disabled who could not fight, were sent to various parts of the city. In this way, after three days of hard work, a force of 5,000 men was finally organized.

However, Wei Zeng looked at the people who couldn't hold these weapons steadily, but the worry in his heart did not decrease at all.

In the past three days, the dignitaries and nobles who came to the city lord's mansion were terrified. After the news of the castle lord's murder came, the crowd was in chaos. Asked, because he was the second highest status of Shifeng City to the city lord, he was ordered to command the remaining officers and soldiers to resist the rebel army. With the high walls of the City Lord's Mansion and the courage of everyone to fight to the death, the City Lord's Mansion was finally defended.

But the rebels harassed everyone at night. Many people are accustomed to enjoying it, and where have they suffered this kind of sin, they all complain again and again. When they heard that the rebels had surrendered, they began to waver. Faced with the increasing disunity of the crowd, he finally decided to negotiate with the rebels.

When he went out, he looked up and saw that the heads of the city lord and the officers were hanging on a flagpole opposite. The dignitaries had already been frightened for days, as if those two were their role models for the future.

"Mr. Wendao, if it weren't for your introduction, how could the city lord and the general treat Na Qi Weilun as their own. If it weren't for the fact that Qi Weilunli had killed the city lord and the general, how would we have ended up like this? Ask, sir, you are responsible. You must have a good talk with Qi Weilun, but you have to let us live. Everyone said.

Asked and didn't say a word, he had heard too many of these words in the past few days. Asked and thought to himself: "If it weren't for your unwillingness to give out grain, and the city lord didn't want to open a warehouse, how would it have developed to this point?" But I really didn't expect to ask for such a risky thing, it seems that I used to look away. ”

Qi Weilun heard the shout of asking in the City Lord's Mansion, so he came to the front of the City Lord's Mansion. Wei Zeng was worried that those people would retaliate against Qi Weilun, so he arranged for a team of people to hold shields in front of him.

"Brother Mude, now that you have captured Stone Wind City. These refugees have also been relieved, and everything you want has been fulfilled. For the sake of our past friendships, let's give us a way to live. I helped you yesterday when you came to borrow food. He asked.

"Asked, the city is now in the hands of my virtuous brother. For the sake of our friendship, I will intercede for you. As long as you are willing to surrender, I can keep you from dying. Qi Weiren said.

"As long as you can promise to keep our families safe and let us out of the city, we will surrender immediately." asked.

"No problem, as long as you surrender. For the sake of the eldest brother, I can let you out of the city. But you can't take out a penny from this city. Hearing this, Wei Zeng stepped forward and said.

"All the property in the city has been left to Brother Mude, and I think Brother Mude can use that property to help more people. This hero is the virtuous brother of Brother Mude. Brother Mulder has always kept his promises, and so has his virtuous brother. He asked.

"Sir, you can't do this. My family property has been left by my ancestors for several generations, and I am going to lose it, but I am the sinner of the family. Leave him with me. I listen to them in everything. ”

"What's the point of living without money. You might as well just kill me. ”

"Mr. Wendao, why don't we hold on for a few days, and when they have endured enough hardships, we won't open such harsh conditions."

Some people were dissatisfied when they heard that they couldn't bring out a penny.

Asked and scolded these people for being stupid. Now that he is besieged, where can he manage so much. When the officers and soldiers come back in the future, those properties will be able to retreat for a long time. Now there is only one way to die.

Ignore these people and open the City Lord's Mansion first. With Wei Zeng's permission, he couldn't wait to leave Shifeng City with his family, and he didn't care about those who wanted money and didn't want their lives.

"Master, we don't have anything now, how can we live in the future?" The family who asked the question went out of the city and said.

"Woman's view! Rest assured, those things are indispensable at all. If these rabble were not for Qi Weilun to cooperate with the outside, how could it become a big climate. When the officers and soldiers come, we will be able to recover all our property at once. You take the child back to your parents' house first, and in a few days, I will take you back to Stone Wind City. After asking, he left his family and headed south.

"Sir, where are you going?" The woman asked.

"The Jingnan Army Battalion."
