Chapter 121 Attack but not Occupy

On the morning of the second day, the gate of Anyang County opened, and Bai Zheng and several cottage youths entered the county seat with the flow of people, and then many people entered the city one after another, these people were all ordinary farmers, and even Bai Zheng could not distinguish which ones were his own people.

"Brother Zhang, have you noticed it, why are there so many people entering the city today? I feel like there are at least a hundred more than usual. The officer under the gate said to the other.

"Whatever, they're all croppers, let's just stand on the shift and get the monthly money, it's getting sadter day by day this year!" Another official whispered that although they were officials, they also felt that their days were getting more and more difficult day by day.

Originally, Anyang was only a small county, and there were only more than 3,000 households in the county, and the population of the entire county was less than 20,000, which was also ranked last in Hanoi County. Coupled with the cold weather, there are not many people on the streets.

Among the county officials, Anyang County Linghe Duwei and others were sitting around the stove and roasting the fire, chatting about some adult topics. As for those small officials and officials, they all sat together in groups of three or five, except for the thirty or so officials sent by the city gate in the winter, the others were all in the county government nests, and there was not even a patrol on the street.

Bai Zheng actually overestimated the garrison strength of Anyang County, because there were more than 140 county officials, but there were more than 20 people resting every day, except for the more than 30 officials who opened the city gate, there were now less than 90 officials in the county government.

The goal of Bai Zheng and his entourage is these officials, and it is not to deal with so many solemn officials, but to disperse and deal with unsuspecting people. When it was the appointed time, Bai Zheng and his party all arrived outside the county yamen, looking at the more and more people gathered, Bai Zheng nodded slightly, and then pulled out a strip of linen from his arms and tied it to his arm.

As Bai Zheng made this move, many people outside the county government tied sackcloth strips to their arms. At this time, the two officials guarding the gate of the yamen also saw this scene, and they didn't care about so many people when they began to appear, but such a neat movement made their faces change.

At this time, Bai Zheng and Scar had already stepped under the gate of the yamen in a few steps, and one of the officials said in a panic: "You, who are you?" What do you want to do? "This official probably hasn't seen much of the world, and he even remembered the weapon and iron knife on his waist in a panic.

"What do you want to do? We just want to find a way to live for ourselves! Bai Zheng said with slightly narrowed eyes, but he did not hesitate to stab out a sword, this sword pierced the left chest of the officer, a sword directly through the chest, and when he pulled out the sword again, the officer was already paralyzed on the ground like a puddle of mud, and then a stream of red blood flowed down the steps.

At the same time that Bai Zheng killed the officer, the scar next to him also killed another officer cleanly, and the scar shot even more ruthlessly, directly using the knife of the dog butcher, and slashed at the neck of the officer, this knife went down The head of the officer was almost cut off directly, and only half of the flesh and skin were still connected after the knife, if the scar used a better weapon, this officer must have a different head.

"Brothers, follow me in!" Bai Zheng stepped into the county office with a sword stab, and then shouted at more than two hundred brothers behind him, and immediately the shouting of killing sounded in the county office.

Because there was no preparation in advance in the county government, and the officials and servants in the county government were scattered everywhere, under the leadership of Bai Zheng and Scar, their group of people searched the entire county government almost quickly at the speed of harvesting, and all the people who watched were almost killed by two people, or were beaten to death by these people subsequently, and the entire county government was like Shura hell.

"Scar, let's split up, you go and light the fire. The rest of us come with me, and let's go to the weapons store. Bai Zheng didn't know how many people they had killed in the county government, but when he killed a man in a brocade robe and another in leather armor, he split up with Scar, and he estimated that these two people must be Anyang County Commander and Anyang Commander.

The purpose of burning the county government was to cause chaos in the whole county, and then to allow people from outside the city to occupy the city gates. Although after the killing of the county government, it should be difficult for the entire county to resist, but Bai Zheng decided to proceed with the original plan for the sake of safety. In addition, the county government also has a small weapons storehouse, where the weapons used by the government are stored, and these weapons are what Bai Zheng lacks the most at the moment.

"Brothers, the eldest brother has succeeded. Let's rush in! Outside the city, the white soldiers led people to hide in the woods not far from the county seat, and when they saw the fire and smoke rising in the county seat, these people could not bear it anymore, and rushed into the county town under the leadership of the white soldiers.

Just a moment ago, most of the officials guarding the city had returned to the county office, and only a few people were left at the city gate to guard it, and the battle of hundreds of white soldiers made these officials stupid, and they even forgot to close the city gate in a panic.

Under the leadership of the white soldiers, these nearly six hundred people soon rushed into the county seat. The officials at the city gate had already fled and scattered, but they had not gone far before they were killed by the mob. The white soldiers left about 200 men to guard the city gate and close the city gate, and then rushed in the direction of the county government with the rest of the men.

At this time, the entire county was shrouded in shouts and firelight, and the ordinary people had already seen that the situation was not good, and they went home and closed their doors, and several large families in the county town also gathered slaves to close the door of the house, looking like they were facing a great enemy.

"Big brother, the younger brother has already controlled the city gate, and now the whole of Anyang is under our control, what should we do next?" Outside the county office, which was surrounded by raging fires, Bai Bing met Bai Zheng. At this time, Bai Zheng first brought more than 200 people, many of whom had replaced their hands with iron weapons, and Scar had gotten leather armor out of nowhere, and was fiddling with it at the moment.

"I said that the entire county is ours, why don't we go and split those big families now, and let's also enjoy the women with brocade clothes and jade food and water spirits, hahahaha!" Scar couldn't hide his excitement and said with a lewd face.

"Shut up for me." Bai Zheng unceremoniously turned his head and scolded, and this time the scar seemed to be poured with a basin of cold water, and it instantly became a lot.

"Scar, you take some brothers to open the granary, make a fire and cook at once, and transport the rest of the grain to the stockade. Second brother, you immediately take someone to spread the word and ask the rich families in the city to prepare money, food, and weapons. Tell them that if they cooperate, we will not commit any crimes, and if not, we will kill them all. In addition, he told all the brothers that it was strictly forbidden to burn, kill, and loot in the city, and that anyone who harassed the common people would be cut down with his own hands. Go ahead and arrange it. Bai Zheng said several orders in a row, but almost all of these orders ran counter to the actions of bandits, and he had never heard of bandits taking down the county town and not committing any offence against the people in the city.

"Boss, let's finally get down the county seat, why don't you let the brothers enjoy it, and those people in the village can also be brought to the city?" Scar listened to Bai Zheng's words, and his heart suddenly became resentful, and even some other bandits felt very uncomfortable.

"Do you really think you can sit back and relax by laying down the county seat? If you just want to covet the momentary pleasure in front of you, you can indulge, Lao Tzu will never stop you, and whether you are dead or alive in the future has nothing to do with my Bai Zheng. Bai Zheng stared at the hundreds of people in front of the county office.

Bai Zheng is a very far-sighted person, and he knows that if he leads his subordinates to covet temporary pleasure, then destruction is not far away.

"Yes!" The white soldier did not hesitate to clench his fists and take the order, and then left with a group of people. And although Scar was a little angry in his heart, he still obeyed Bai Zheng's orders and took people to work.

At this moment, there are only a few dozen people left by Bai Zheng's side, and at this time he is not idle, but called out a few more reliable people, and instructed these people: "A few of you go and lead a few horses, and immediately go to Xiuwu, Yewang, Heyang, Shanyang, and Wuyang counties, find a few leaders in these counties, and tell them that Bai Zheng has captured Anyang County, and soon Wang Wenshu will definitely mobilize the strength of the whole county to come to encircle and suppress, so that they can take the opportunity to seize these county seats." ”

When Bai Zheng burned down the county yamen, he had already brought out dozens of horses in the yamen, and this place in Hanoi County is rich in horses, and there may not be many horses in other counties, but there are many in Hanoi County.

"Boss, aren't we cheap those dirt buns? We worked hard to build the county seat, and we also wanted to attract Wang Wenshu's army, but let others pick up the cheap. After the few people who delivered the news rode away, a small leader who had a good relationship with Bai Zheng asked puzzledly, just now Bai Zheng asked these people to inform other bandit forces in several neighboring counties, in the eyes of ordinary people, this is simply a move to harm themselves and others.

"We must evacuate the county seat before dark, as for letting other cottages attack the county seat, just to make the situation more chaotic, only the more chaotic we are, the safer we are, it is best to lay down a few more county seats, so that Wang Wenshu will have no time to take care of us, with this buffer time, with a little training on our foundation, there is no strength to fight with Wang Wenshu." Bai Zheng didn't hide anything, and told the idea in his heart, no one could have imagined that Bai Zheng would attack Anyang but not occupy it. However, it can be heard from Bai Zheng's words that what he is trying to do is not only in this county seat.
