Chapter 157: Raid on the City 2
Zhang Hong is the county lieutenant, in charge of the county's soldiers and horses, responsible for public security, criminal investigation and other work, Yuanqu County does not set up soldiers and horses to garrison, just 100 numbers to catch the fast yacha, he may not remember the name and face of his subordinates, but the county government is such an important place, every day in and out, it has long been too familiar to be familiar.
Lao Zhangtou is an old yacha, he is fifty-one or twelve years old, almost retired, considering his age, plus his exquisite mind and vision, he is allowed to do such an easy job as guarding the gate of the county ya.
Although the old man is old, but his eyes are sharp, how can he recognize the wrong person, just admit the mistake, and squeeze his eyebrows, looking disrespectful to the old, Zhang Hong was stunned at first, and then saw the young man with two unfamiliar faces behind the old Zhang Tou, and immediately understood what was going on, the thief actually came to the county and quietly controlled the county government, but I was afraid that the county order Lin Cheng had already fallen into the hands of the thief.
He took a step forward and blocked in front of the main book Zheng Zhitong to protect him, Zheng Zhitong may not understand what his secret gesture means, but several catchers behind him must understand that they are all old brothers who have been with him for many years, and they have cooperated all year round, and they have formed a tacit understanding.
Zhang Hong stepped forward with a big grin, patted Lao Zhang's shoulder, pulled him back, bullied him forward, and smashed out with a fierce punch.
The two young men dressed as Yacha were Li Zicheng's subordinates, although they were very vigilant, but Zhang Hong shot suddenly, and did not draw his knife, he punched directly, the fist was strong and fierce, and he smashed heavily in the abdomen of the Yacha in front of him, and the miserable howl sounded with the sound of broken bones, and the Yacha flew to the ground, and the bow shrank into a large prawn.
At the same time, several people behind Zhang Hong quickly drew their knives and slashed at another yacha, but that yacha was a small leader under Li Zicheng, who was extremely flexible, he reacted very quickly, quickly retreated, and distanced himself from Zhang Hong and others, while shouting warning while drawing his knife.
Zhang Hong pounced with his knife and joined forces with several brothers, but it still took more than a dozen rounds to cut people down, and he also injured one brother.
"Withdraw!"
Zhang Hong immediately made a decision, while helping his injured brother to retreat, while sending the whistle of the police, informing that only a small half of the people were secretly summoned to dispatch, just a few people, rushed into the county government controlled by the thieves to save people, it was tantamount to throwing himself into the net, first gathering people, and defending the county seat.
"Brothers, kill."
At this time, when the time for the attack came, the king gave the order to attack, and his brothers fired three arrows into the sky, and the people who were lying in ambush outside the city roared out of the woods and rushed towards the open gate.
At the head of the city and the city gate, two groups of people are wielding knives to tear and kill, although Zhang Hong has secretly made all kinds of preparations, the city gate and the city head have increased manpower, strengthened vigilance, and strictly checked, but not many people believe that the people's army will come to Yuanqu County, and a large number of people's army has already mixed into the city.
The people are strong and clean, usually farming, occasionally concentrated training in their spare time, assembled in wartime, took up arms to defend the city, the value of personal force is not high, many have not been on the battlefield, in the face of the long-term battle of the people's army fiercely tearing and killing, only a little resistance and then fled in panic, the city head, the city gate position was quickly lost.
The earth-shattering roar suddenly sounded inside and outside the city, frightening the people in the city, and they fled home in panic, closing the door tightly, and the whole family hugged each other, trembling.
The streets were in chaos, full of panicked people, and invisibly blocked the people who rushed to the city gate, and when they finally arrived at the city gate, Wang Ziyong had led the main force to kill in, and the two sides launched a fierce killing near the city gate.
Minzhuang only has a slight advantage in weapons and equipment, but in terms of numbers, morale, personal force value, combat experience, etc., it is obviously inferior, although the county lieutenant Zhang Hong desperately commanded, bravely rushed to kill, but only supported less than half an hour before the whole army collapsed, Zhang Hong had to escape from the county with the remnants of the defeated general, to the nearby county for help, fortunately he and his brothers had already secretly transferred their families to the countryside, temporarily avoided the disaster of the war.
As Wang Ziyong led the main force into the city, the people were defeated, and the entire Yuanqu county town had fallen into the hands of the people's army.
At the same time, the people's army opened warehouses to release grain to appease the frightened people, and at the same time liquidated the landlords, old money, merchants, and other large families in the city, and only stopped after three days of liquidation, robbed a large amount of money and grain, and also confiscated a small amount of weapons.
During this period, in addition to opening warehouses and releasing grain to appease the frightened people, the people's army forced blacksmiths to make weapons and equipment day and night, and at the same time recruited troops and horses to expand the team.
In the past, the disaster was serious, the grain planted was not harvested, the hunger was everywhere, the people were forced to leave their hometowns to survive, the people's army climbed the heights and shouted, and the hungry people naturally followed in order to eat with their mouths, but with the series of civil decrees implemented by Zhu Jian, free distribution of potato sprouts and seedlings planting, tax reduction and exemption, and water conservancy construction, so that the simple people have hope in their hearts, how can they go with them to do this kind of headless thing?
As for the young people who went to join the army, some of them were ambitious and unwilling to live a poor life that could not be maintained by three meals a day for the rest of their lives, some were lazy, idle all day long, stealing chickens and dogs, and unwilling to do hard labor, and some planned to do a few votes, earn some money and then come back to marry a daughter-in-law or something, in short, each has its own little abacus, these people joined the people's army, and their combat power was virtually weakened a little.
Wang Ziyong, Gao Yingxiang and other leaders of the people's army did not have time to pay attention to this matter, they were busy rewarding and dividing the dirty, and there were too many spoils, but there were more brothers under their hands, and there were many factions, and if the dirty was uneven, it would make the brothers complain.
Gao Yingxiang's department, as the vanguard army, took the county office, the official warehouse, and controlled the city's transportation arteries in one fell swoop, not only accounted for the first credit of the victory, but also grabbed the most Dongdong, he just asked his brothers to hand over a small part, and the rest of the death did not admit it, how could it be reasonable to vomit out the Dongdong that was eaten in the stomach? Using the money you have grabbed to desperately expand your own strength is the king, and only hard fists have the qualifications to speak, and illiterate people know this truth.
Up and down, Li Zicheng and his brothers also grabbed a lot of things, except for a small part handed over to the eldest brother Gao Yingxiang, the rest were hidden, as the logistics director Xing Xian Meizi counted all kinds of weapons, some beautifully made, valuable jewelry into his own purse of course.
In the past few days, Li Zicheng has been very busy, so busy that he has no time to go back to his room to sleep, he is busy liquidating the property and beautiful concubines of the landlord and the old profiteer, busy accompanying the leading brother Wang Ziyong, the eldest brother Gao Yingxiang and the big brothers to drink celebration wine, busy accompanying his brothers to drink and celebrate, busy grabbing people and weapons and equipment to expand his own strength, he really has no time to go home and sleep, and accompany the young and beautiful Yan to say something that has been posted for a while.
Xing Xian dared to take the last step, her heart had already changed, her husband was too busy to go home, this was what she hoped for the most, she was busy counting the loot at the same time, she also saw the right time, secretly had a tryst with Gao Jie, resisted death, and painted her husband's hat green over and over again.
Gao Jie's first repayment of the forbidden fruit, just like an open Pandora's box, is also out of control, he will find all kinds of opportunities and excuses to help the eldest brother comfort the lonely beautiful sister-in-law, the two are like a newlywed couple, they can't wait to be together all the time, but unfortunately there is no time.
