Chapter 929: One Thing Descends One Thing

Taicang Mansion, Chengyang Lake Shore, Zhujiabao

Zhujiabao Flowing Water Platform, the landmark building of Zhujiabao, at this moment there is no flowing water, the beauty of the rainbow of the mirror moon, the giant waterwheel located on the shore of Chengyang Lake has been pushed down by the countless mobs, but as the tallest building in Zhujiabao, the flowing water platform has become the command platform of Zhujiabao to resist the mob storming the fort at this moment.

Last time, three thousand salt thieves rushed into Zhujiabao, and finally left a piece of armor left, standing in, none of them could stand and go out, you can imagine the strength of Zhujiabao's force, the strength of the fortress.

However, this time the situation is obviously different from the last time, 3,000 and 300,000 are a hundred times different, and the threat to Zhujiabao is also geometrically increasing, although these 300,000 are all mobs, and there are few strong people, but just relying on the sea of people has made Zhujiabao fall into a bitter battle.

Especially these mobs threw the dead who had the plague into the town, which made Zhujiabao full of panic, but fortunately, Zhujiabao has a set of family laws that do not have to be constrained by military regulations, and the rise and fall of the Zhu family are all in this fort, and no Zhu family in the fort can escape this catastrophe.

"When is this a head, there are too many mobs in this group, they can't be killed at all, the streets inside the fort are almost filled with the corpses of these guys, and there are still so many people outside!"

Although Zhujiabao is only a town-level in the official county records, in fact, the scale of Zhujiabao is comparable to a small city, although there is no direct piling up of city walls and moats, but in fact, every household in Zhujiabao is a small fortress.

The high-walled high-rise buildings, all of which are made of hard big blue stone barriers, the columns are watered with molten iron, almost solid and indestructible, most of the streets and alleys are narrow, and most of the alleys can only pass small carriages of single horses, and compared to the walls on both sides that are two feet and five feet high, this alley is as difficult as a sheep's intestine path.

The high-rise buildings in the wall are all made of stone, the buildings can be connected with wooden planks, and there is a tunnel entrance to the underground in each area, there are two layers of bunkers under Zhujiabao, which store the wealth accumulated by Zhujiabao for many years, countless grains, and the ordnance of the warehouse.

It can be said that as soon as these things see the light, the whole of the Zhu family has to bear the big crime of deliberate rebellion, this arsenal, naturally only the head of the Zhu family and a small number of people know, not to mention whether the Zhu family wants to rebel, but these weapons that have been stored for many years have become the last reliance of the Zhu family at this moment.

"It's all fucking hungry and crazy, just like locusts, who let us be recognized as the granary of Yangzhou, I only hope that the people in the outer village will organize it quickly, otherwise even if our Zhujiabao is strong, we won't be able to carry this sea of people to fill it in! Not to mention, many of these mobs are infected with the plague!"

"Uncle Seven, do you think we can spend it safely?"

"Hey, who knows, but our Zhujiabao is not a soft persimmon! We have food and drink in the fort, but those guys outside are hungry, maybe they can't stand it and go to other places to find food!"

Just as the two were talking, a strong man in armor walked in from outside, drooped his arm, and threw his bow on the ground as soon as he entered the door: "Xiao Qi, come and feed me something, I can't lift my arm, damn it, I've never seen so many crazy people!"

"Third Grandpa, I'm going outside!"

"Go, go, you kid be careful, the alley is almost full of corpses of those dead people, those people are stepping on the corpses and almost killing the wall, the fifth side has fallen!"

"Ah, the third master, the fifth master?"

"The yard is broken, but everyone has withdrawn, someone is guarding, and the other party can't kill from above, but if it goes on like this, we won't be able to bear it for long, there are too many people outside, it's completely endless, kill one, pour in two, hey!"

"Set fire!" On the flowing water platform, Zhu Yun's eyes were red, and there was obviously a dark circle in his eyes, as the eldest grandson of the Zhu family, the future head of the Zhu family, Zhu Yun had stayed up for three days and three nights, and after receiving the news that the courtyard had been captured on the periphery, Zhu Yun finally turned over a hole card.

On the ground floor of Zhujiabao, dozens of small warehouses were opened, and the women and children of the Zhu family who were hiding in the inner fort used a cart to take out the iron hoop wooden barrels from the warehouse, although the wooden barrels were tightly stuffed, they could still smell a pungent smell.

Black fire oil, a burning liquid widely used in siege, is mostly produced in Liang and Yong, but in addition to military use, this black fire oil can also be made into inferior lamp oil, which is the most widely used lamp oil in civilian homes, and the Zhu family uses this layer to accumulate a large amount of black fire oil.

In a small warehouse, there are 500 barrels of black fire oil, and the black fire oil in these warehouses is enough to burn for a while.

Along the passage in the bunker, the black fire oil was transported to various parts of the fort, and through the well, the black fire oil was sent to the surface.

"Come over here, carry the black fire oil up, and pour it on me into the alley!"

Several strong men with strength rushed over, carried the drum weighing hundreds of catties up to the wall, opened the plug of the black oil oil, and the viscous black oil poured out and poured on the mob with wooden sticks and bamboo guns.

Countless barrels of black fire oil were poured out, with the ignition of a torch, the black fire oil suddenly burst into flames, and emitted pungent black smoke, with the flames continued to rise, within two quarters of an hour, the entire Zhujiabao was shrouded in a layer of black smoke.

From a distance, it looks like a black dragon taking off into the air, and the people in Zhujiabao are hiding in the bunker, the space of this bunker is much larger than the buildings on the ground, even if it is squeezed into more than 100,000 people, it is still not too crowded.

And in this underground palace, there is enough food, even if they are trapped for a year or two, they don't have to worry about no food to eat, as for the water source, there is a channel in the underground palace to connect to Chengyang Lake, and there are hidden wells, most of the wells in the fort are connected to the water flowing from Chengyang Lake, and the well in the bunker is the groundwater, which also avoids someone from being poisoned.

The raging fire drove the mob out of Zhujiabao, and the corpses that blocked the streets and alleys also turned into ashes in the fire, and the fire burned for a day or two, and Zhujiabao ushered in a short rest.

"The head of the house, the person who went out to look for rescue is back!" "Underground, the head of the house's mansion is not inferior to the head of the house on the ground, a little haggard Zhu Ziwu was helped up by Zhu Yun, and outside the door, a strong man who had read forty years walked in quickly.

"Fourth, you're back!"

"Big brother, what's wrong with you?"

"Fourth uncle, father, he doesn't have a big deal, it's just that he's overworked, so he fainted, and it's okay to rest for a few days to recuperate!"

"That's good, that's good!"

"Fourth, are the rescuers who let you move here?" asked Zhu Ziwu with an earnest face.

"Hey, big brother, the whole Taicang is now full of beacon fires, most of our Zhu family's Zhuangzi outside has been attacked by the mob, I have gathered some people, but there are too many mobs outside, these people are completely a drop in the bucket, so I went out of our place again, and I want to find a few families who are good friends with our Zhu family to support!"

Zhu Zidao said, with a wry smile on his face, and said: "But when I went, I found that they were in a similar situation to us, and even Liujiabao had been breached, at least the ground, I am afraid that it has shrunk underground now, if no one goes to save it, it is estimated that it will be a rat for a while!"

"Now the entire Taicang Mansion is almost all in chaos, I don't know how many mobs are raging, you can see these mobs everywhere, but I heard that Suzhou in the east is still under control, and after the mob hit the wall several times, it didn't go there!"

"Suzhou Mansion?" Zhu Ziwu was a little bitter, there were only tens of thousands of Chu troops in Suzhou Mansion, and the land stationed in Suzhou Mansion was distributed to the locality, and there were only 18,000 people in one place, but if they requisitioned the locality, they would be able to make up more people.

Compared with the situation of Suzhou Mansion, Taicang Mansion is actually much stronger than the strength of Suzhou Mansion, the alliance of hundreds of landlords, if one mobilizes some force and puts it together, it can also make up two or three hundred thousand troops, and the equipment is not worse than that of officers and soldiers, and even the combat effectiveness is higher, after all, these are the forces carefully trained by each family.

And if you are out of the way, the young and strong, the Zhuang men in the Zhuangzi outside are all concentrated, and even two million people can be pieced together, although they can't equip so many people, but they really did it at the beginning, and there is no possibility that those mobs are raging in Taicang, and they have no possibility of fighting back.

In the final analysis, although their alliance is strong, it is still scattered, and their alliance is just to ensure their interests, whether it is the empire or the Great Chu Kingdom, the reason why they are helpless against them is because of their control over Taicang, and because they think more, so it is impossible to take a huge risk to force them.

And these mobs don't care about you, what fame and fortune are, it's bullshit to them, the existence of the mob is to destroy, unscrupulous destruction, what can you do with them, break the jar and break it, there are no taboos.

As the so-called one thing descends one thing, the dignified Taicang hundred landlords, even Prince Qing can not be birds, and the existence of Leng Zhuo's solicitation can be ignored, but under the offensive of a group of mobs who have little combat effectiveness, they have been breached the fortress that has been operating for many years, and they have fallen into a bitter battle.

Countless outer villages were broken one by one, or killed, or fled, or wrapped in a mob, but their roots were broken, and then they were surrounded by three inner and outer three layers.

Of course, if they go out, concentrate the youth of the whole fort, and give up Zhujiabao, they may not be able to fight a bloody way, but he will not choose this road, that will lose too many people, and he will not be able to do so until the point of exhaustion.

This is their last base camp, the Zhu family has been operating for two or three hundred years, if it is lost in his hands, how can he face the ancestors and the ancestors!

"Let's take a look, I just hope that the mobs outside will break their heads and bleed, and then leave here, after all, they don't have much food!"
