Chapter 10: Occupation

Four watches.

At about two o'clock in the morning, two watchmen on the streets of Pingyang Mansion knocked on the bangs and walked unhurriedly with old and dim lanterns.

As they walked, the two were still chatting.

Of course, it's just some short-term and rumored things in the family.

Suddenly, the lantern in his hand looked even more sluggish, and then his legs that stepped forward also stiffened, and the person next to him noticed that something was wrong, and looked forward in the direction of his companion - Bang Chang! The skewer in his hand fell to the ground.

"What...... What people?! He snorted in horror, his body cowering unconsciously.

Because he knew in his heart that he came out to wander around during the curfew, except for the last resort such as the family's sudden illness, those who climbed over the wall to enter the house, slipped the door and picked the lock.

In fact, if it's just like this, it's easy to say, the former is nothing more than leading to the hospital to smash the door, and the latter is just reporting to the official to deal with it. There are only so many gentlemen in Pingyang Mansion who are bigger than that, and no one dares to really take out a knife to resist the law.

But the current situation obviously has nothing to do with these things on weekdays.

I don't know if it's hundreds or thousands of figures standing quietly on the street like this, and even blocking that street is not a trivial matter!

Thinking of the frequent rebellions over the years, the hearts of the watchmen are already cold.

This rebellion is a head-killing thing!

Now that he has been broken by the two of himself, where is the chance to live?

Thinking like this, the beater who dropped the hammer turned around sharply to run! He thought that these people were going to rebel tonight anyway, and they would definitely not chase him a little watchman. As long as you run fast, there is still some chance to escape...... What's more, Zhu Laosan, who was traveling with him, never outran him-ah!

The sharp pain in his leg caused him to stumble and fall to the ground.

A figure swooped past him, looking at the lantern thrown away in the figure's hand, where did the watchman not know who he had just beaten?

The sound of footsteps behind him came, and then several big hands pressed down the watchman from behind.

"Zhu Laosan! You don't have to die well! He screamed hoarsely, and in an instant it became a reality.

With the 'Stretch! ''Stretch! The two crunchy sounds of the bowstring were reduced, and the watchman saw that Zhu Laosan, who had run more than ten meters, trembled—and the whole person fell to the street with a weak leg.

Two long, swarthy strips that could not be seen clearly in the dark night still swung twice on his back before they subsided.

"Nope! No! I don't want to die...... Spare me! Spare his life—" In the midst of the watchman's pleas for mercy, those who held him down had no intention of stopping.

It appears that someone brought a jar full of liquid, and then fished something out of it.

The watchman is held down and can't see what the other party is doing.

But fear made him struggle desperately.

However, a person's strength is limited after all, and under the pressure of a few large hands, he can only be put on his ear with a sticky object in a useless struggle.

Forthwith.

What frightened him, whether it was a snake or a fish, or a bug or something like that, "slipped" into his ear canal......

Ahh......h

He trembled and howled in pain...... Eventually, he fell into a deep coma.

……

"Who?!" At the entrance of the Pingyang Mansion, the guards drew their swords and drank.

Whoosh whoosh ——!

By the time the few people standing guard heard the sound of arrows flying, it was already too late. The dense arrows accompanied by the sound of 'aggressive' nails nailed to the human body, the wooden door, and even the copper skin on the gate have already shot several people guarding the gate into hedgehogs on the spot.

This was followed by hundreds of black-clad men with spears, miscellaneous knives and axes, and even thick wooden sticks, and soon occupied the entire county office.

Before they could get out of bed, many of the trappers were slashed or dragged into the courtyard in uniform.

At this time, a person holding the altar will come forward and take out a long white worm from the altar and put it in the ear or nose of the person being subdued.

This night.

The same thing is repeated in Binh Duong Province.

Whether it is the sleeping barracks or the yamen warehouses everywhere...... Even four gates were attacked.

Unidentified rebels, ranging from a few hundred to two or three thousand, seemed to have planned and attacked all important parts of the city in an orderly manner.

Of course, not all places were easily captured like the Yamen.

At the four gates, the black-clad rebels were in trouble.

However, on such ordinary days, the army at the city gates, although not completely asleep, was not too numerous.

The rebels fell one after another despite the fact that they had plenty of bows and arrows and weapons.

But even so.

The soldiers guarding the gate were still given a chance to fight back, but with the sound of the firecrackers in the hands of the soldiers guarding the city gate, the military camp stationed not far from the city of Pingyang Mansion was in a commotion.

Although the Ming Dynasty's armament was lax, officialdom was corrupt to the extreme.

However, the barracks, as a military force, could never remain indifferent to the sound of gunfire and shouts of killing in the middle of the night in the city.

The soldiers were dragged out of the tents with kicks, and everywhere there were soldiers who had lost their armor and could not find weapons.

But.

I finished the collection just before it got dark.

After more than two hours of repeated inquiry, the people in the military camp outside the city finally confirmed that there was a rebellion in Pingyang Mansion last night.

However, something embarrassing happened......

Because of the poor living conditions in the barracks on weekdays, as the commander of the army in the entire Binh Duong area, the envoy actually lived in his own mansion in the city!

At this time, the rebellion in Pingyang Mansion was naturally uncontactable, and when the governor was afraid that he was more than lucky, he could only temporarily light the beacon fire and notify the other thousands and hundreds of households in the surrounding area.

And under the slow bureaucratic system of the Ming Dynasty, this wait was a full five days!

I waited another two days.

The five guards in the jurisdiction, the total of 5,600 troops, have only gathered less than 3,000 men. And some of these 3,000 people are strong men who were temporarily captured to fill the number.

However, although the prefect and Tongzhi are not clean in their buttocks, where do they know that the degree of decay below has already reached the level of decay?

Thereupon.

Under the constant urging from above, those thousands of households who really understood the situation had no choice but to prepare to attack the city.

But they have long been accustomed to the rhythm of the Ming Dynasty's "one day of war, half of the skin" How did they know that in the past few days, almost the entire population of Pingyang Mansion has already been transformed into the family of the evil god?

In this case.

For the first time, the two sides opened their positions and started the first battle on the land of the Ming Dynasty.
