Chapter Eighty-Four: One Night, the Castle Changed Banners

Under the full force of the Good Friends Association, a storm that was completely unexpected by the whole county swept from the inside.

Six o'clock in the evening.

It was the time of the change of defense, and the officers and soldiers of the Linxian county defense battalion, who had been exposed to the sun for a day at the head of the city, dragged their tired and hungry bodies, and got down from the city while complaining. Not far from under the city walls, a group of militia groups sent from the Longshan Prefecture were already waiting to replace them.

It is almost impossible for the thief army to attack the city at night, so even if these militia groups are used to replace the city defense battalion officers, it is not a big problem.

Some of these vigilante groups are deliberately squeezed out and look relatively normal. But most of the others were excited and nervous, clutching their weapons tightly in their hands. There were also people whispering something, but the voice was too small for the people next to them to hear clearly.

It's just three or five people, and almost everyone is like this with more than a hundred people, which seems a little strange.

If there are experienced veterans here, you may be able to discover something. But these officers and soldiers of the city defense battalion who were replaced were tired and thirsty, and how could they have the heart to pay attention to others. Even if some people think that these rotating allies are weird, they just think that they have sunstroke and fainting, and they don't think much about it.

Soon, most of the officers and soldiers of the city defense battalion who came down from the city passed by these militias.

This is when the upheaval took place.

Seeing that the opportunity had come, the incense master of the Good Friends Association, who was mixed with the militia, drew his knife and rushed out, shouting: "Maitreya Buddha! ”

This angry shout was like a signal, and the more than 100 vigilante groups with peripheral neuroticism immediately shouted: "The Buddha Kingdom has come to the world, enjoy eternal bliss!" ”

"Kill!"

"Kill these sinners who work for the puppet dynasty!"

The fanatical voice, as well as the sudden change of faces of the friendly troops around them, made these officers and soldiers of the Linxian county defense battalion dumbfounded. In a hurry, they didn't understand what was going on at all, and they were swarmed and pasted in the face by more than a hundred people, and more than a dozen people were cut down in the blink of an eye.

Awakened by the screams one after another, the remaining officers and soldiers realized that these militia groups from Longshan Province were going to rebel.

Although it is not clear whether they are with the thieves in Yicheng, the identity of friend and foe is already very clear. The rest of the officers and soldiers immediately hugged together and fought against these fanatical thieves. However, on the one hand, there is a plan for recuperation; On the other hand, I was tired and hungry after a day in the sun. These good martial arts believers of the Good Friends Association soon gained the upper hand in the battle, and successively hacked to death the twenty or thirty officers and soldiers.

The remaining officers and soldiers of the city defense battalion could no longer bear it, and scattered and fled. The few Longshan militias that had not been infiltrated were even more frightened by this tragic turn of events, and dispersed as early as the beginning of the fighting.

"Don't chase it! Let's go to Kaesong! ”

In the crowd, the incense lord gave orders to stop the fanatical believers who were killing Xingxing, and quickly rushed to the head of the city and pulled up the floodgates. The stones and dirt bags that had been blocked in the doorway were also moved aside, and the closed gate of Linxian County was wide open.

The 400 Buddhist soldiers of the Good Friends Association who were receiving them from outside quickly poured in and joined these militia groups.

At the same time as the castle was opened on this side, other city walls also launched attacks to distract the officers and soldiers. At the same time, more than 100 fanatical believers arranged in the city also attacked the county government compound and the city defense camp and school yard one after another. In just half an hour, Linxian County fell into chaos. The multi-point attack, the rebellion from within the militia group, and the fanning of the flames everywhere made the Linxian government completely stunned, and completely lost control and judgment of the situation.

They didn't know where the thieves came from, how many of them there were, and they couldn't even mobilize the militia and the remaining officers and soldiers in the city. Even if you send someone to the school field of the city defense camp, you will lose contact in an instant and become silent.

In desperation, the county government could only shrink in the county government and passively retract the officials and soldiers who came over spontaneously.

This undoubtedly ceded the initiative to the secret Friends of the Goodwill.

Under the command of Xiang Hua and the dispatch of several incense masters, the believers of the Good Friends Association calmly cleaned up the officials and troops on the city walls, and learned from Chen Wu's Taiping Righteous Army to close the four gates and bring the entire Linxian County under their control. Subsequently, these Dharma protectors of the Good Friends Association began to carry out public activities, playing the sign of the Good Friends Association, calling on ordinary believers in the county to serve the Good Friends Association.

I have to say that the Good Friends Association has been operating near this Longshan Mansion for more than ten years, and it is still very fruitful. Although the intensity of the mission was deliberately lowered in order not to alarm the government, there were still tens of thousands of believers. In Linxian County, which is closest to Longshan, two or three thousand people were easily mobilized.

With a total of 800 Dharma Protector Buddhist soldiers in several aspects as the core, plus thousands of ordinary believers mobilized, the Good Friends Association, which had been preparing for many years, easily took control of Linxian County and surrounded the Linxian County Yatuan.

At this point, the fall of Linxian is only a matter of time.

Although the county magistrate of Linxian still wanted to resist stubbornly, he did not know that among the officials and soldiers who fled into the county government compound, there were people who were bribed and changed their armor and mixed in. They broke out and joined forces with each other, breaking the last resistance in Linxian in just a few minutes.

After a night of chaos, the countless torches lit by the Good Friends Association were finally slowly extinguished when the sky was about to dawn.

At the top of the city, the Ming and Huang banners of the empire were thrown out of the city as rags, and instead were embroidered with the four golden characters of "King of the Good Friends".

………

There was chaos in Lincheng overnight, and he couldn't hide the scout horse released by Chen Wu.

In other words, the movement was so loud that it could be heard for miles outside the city, and it was difficult for the rebels' scouts to find out. Ning An, who did not know the real situation in Linxian County, sent someone overnight to bring the news to Chen Wu, who was camped ten miles away. It wasn't until dawn and the flag of the Good Friends were raised that he roughly guessed what and rushed back in person.

"Did the Good Friends really do it?"

After listening to Ning An's return, Chen Wu in the Chinese military tent held the tea bowl in his hand and fell into a short contemplation.

Dian Yong, Xu Shizhong, Shi Xianqian and others, who were invited by him to discuss the meeting, also thought about this completely unexpected change. It's just that some people look at the blank face of this force that suddenly appeared to defeat the Linxian government and rob them of their predetermined territory, obviously not everyone has heard of it.

If you don't know anything about the enemy, you can't make any accurate judgments.

Among the people present, Chen Wu, who has experienced the future in the game, has become the person who is most familiar with the Good Friends Association.

Looking at the subordinates who were quite confused on their faces, Chen Wu, who had come back to his senses, thought about it for a while, and briefly made a explanation: "The Good Friends Association is a remnant of the Wenxiang Sect decades ago, and it has regained its appearance after a makeover, and its power is mainly around Longshan Mansion. Their current leader is Wang Huifang, who has two capable generals and a younger brother, Wang Huixin. In the name of persuading people to do good, they are actually gathering strength for rebellion. Due to the good disguise and the fact that they often do good deeds, the actions of the Good Friends Society are very deceptive. Over the years, there have been about 20,000 or 30,000 ordinary believers, and there must have been thousands of fanatical believers, including some high-ranking officials and nobles. ”

In a simple paragraph, the foundation and origin of the Good Friends Association and the general energy are clearly explained.

Xu Shizhong and Shi Xianqian, who didn't know enough about Chen Wu, were somewhat surprised that Chen Wu could tell the information of the Good Friends Association so accurately. But only when Chen Wu had made the effort to understand or had contact, he was not particularly surprised. Dian Yong, who knew more about Chen Wu, was shocked by this.

The words just now seem simple, but there are a lot of things in them, and they are even the core secrets of the Good Friends Association. Where did a villager who has never been out of Changshan Town get such detailed information?

Once again, Dian Yong had an unfathomable feeling for Chen Wu in his heart.

Aside from Dian Yong's surprise, Chen Wu's explanation made the high-level of the rebel army understand enough about the sudden appearance of the Good Friends Society, and be able to make judgments and responses based on this.

"Since the Good Friends also want to rebel, then we may not be able to take advantage of it."

Xu Shizhong was the first to speak, expressing his views purely from a military point of view.

In contrast, Shi Xianqian, the staff officer of the army, thought more, and said while analyzing: "Originally, we should have attacked Linxian County, and after taking it, we were coerced by the displaced people of the three counties to surround Longshan. Now that Linxian has been taken by others, this is both a good thing and a bad thing. The good thing is that it can save a lot of time and attack Longshan directly. The downside is that the people of the Good Friends Association may not be willing to unite with us, and maybe they still secretly have the idea of annexing us, so we must be guarded against. ”
