Chapter 207 Breaking the City
That night, Wang Shun was elected as the new village chief and immediately contacted several nearby villages that were oppressed and wanted to resist.
Fang Xian also helped secretly and played tricks.
In the end, the six strongholds swore an oath of blood alliance , killed the officials and swore an oath to jointly rebel against the Great Zhou.
The night is hazy.
In ancient times, information was difficult to transmit, and mountain strongholds formed alliances quickly.
Moreover, even if there was a leak, the county would probably just treat it as a joke and at most order the city gates to be guarded.
A group of mountain people secretly came down the mountain. They carried bows and arrows and held hunting forks. There were only two or three hundred of them.
Fang Xian followed secretly, looked at this scene, and shook his head.
In ancient times, a mountain stronghold could only accommodate a few hundred people, including dozens of able-bodied adults who could fight.
Even if the six village strongholds united, they could barely put together such a motley crowd.
Not only are their equipment sparse, but more importantly, they have no armor.
If they encounter a wave of arrow rain, they will probably collapse.
Not to mention that ancient cities relied on city walls for defense. As long as the defense was careful, it would be difficult to capture them without ten times the number of soldiers or plans for a long-term siege.
Just think about it and you will know that facing such a group of rabble, the county magistrate in the city, who has the support of the Great Zhou, would be foolish to open the gate and surrender. He will swear to fight to the death and hold on to the end.
This is also for the sake of his entire family's lives and property. No matter whether he is incompetent or honest, he has to make this choice.
According to Fang Xian's observation, few of those mountain people really wanted to attack the county town.
He just wanted to go down the mountain and make some money from the big guys nearby and then run away.
After all, they are mountain people. It is common for them to be farmers when they are busy and bandits when they are free.
In this era, it is sometimes difficult to distinguish between good and bad. It’s all about survival, that’s all.
"But I am sure that if they attack the county town... as long as they are discovered, they will collapse under a hail of arrows from the city walls..."
Fang Xian looked at Wang Shun.
At this time, Wang Shun was wearing a bright red cloak and forcing a smile.
How could he not know this, but the county had to fight.
Not to mention that he still has family members who need to be rescued, even the mountain people and villages who followed him were mostly skeptical at this time.
Even if you are carried away by passion for a moment, once you come to your senses, you might back off and even betray.
We must take advantage of this time to do something big together and tie them tightly to our side, only then will we be guaranteed.
Ordinary mountain people who plundered villages around the county town could be considered bandits.
Attacking the county town is a rebellion!
These are two different concepts, and they completely cut off everyone's escape route.
Wang Shun is not afraid of this because he has no way out.
At this time, he brought his men to the outside of the city gate, and his palms gradually clenched.
…
"Wang Shun only has this one chance. If he fails, he will have no chance again..."
Fang Xian understood this very well.
So he came to the edge of the city wall.
The wall was not high, only a few feet, and was easily climbed.
"who?"
Several gatekeepers were drowsy. When they saw a white ape rushing towards them, they felt confused and thought they were dreaming.
The next moment, Fang Xian used his fists and feet to defeat the gatekeepers and open the city gate.
"The gates are open!"
"The gates are open!"
Wang Shun's eyes lit up when he saw this, and he stood up and said, "My fellow village chiefs, the wealth, women, and arsenal in the city are all here, why don't you come with me to take them?"
How could the village chiefs not know that the county town was rich? It was just that it was usually protected by the city walls and could not be attacked.
This is a godsend opportunity, and his eyes are red: "Let's go together, let's rob money, food and women!"
Immediately, howling, a group of people rushed towards the open city gate.
…
County government office.
At this time, the government office had already been closed, and the magistrate of Dazheng County, named Liao Qingchen , was sleeping soundly in his bedroom.
Suddenly, there was a commotion outside and someone knocked on the door.
"What's going on?"
He frowned, put on his clothes, put on his shoes and went out.
"My Lord...something terrible is happening!"
As soon as the door was opened, a yamen runner came crawling in: "Bandits have entered the city! They are attacking the county government office!"
"What?"
Liao Qingchen's face turned pale: "How is it possible? Who are these gangsters?"
"It seems that the people from Baimao Village have joined forces with several other villages... Master, what should we do?"
The bailiff said with a sad face.
"Damn it... Could it be that the police went to catch the murderer and forced the village to rebel?"
County Magistrate Liao felt somewhat regretful at this time, but was mostly angry: "Where is the county lieutenant? Where are the county soldiers? Where did they all go?"
Even if a county has a small number of soldiers, there are still hundreds of them, and their equipment is much better than that of the mountain people.
"Those mountain folks are very evil. They invited a white ape to help them. The county lieutenant was killed in the battle, and the county soldiers were scattered. Now the thieves are looting the county..."
Another official came back and knelt down to report.
“Damn it…”
Liao Zhixian's forehead was covered with sweat. "Fortunately, the county government gate is tightly closed, so we can still hold on... By tomorrow, the thieves will retreat... This official, this official... Why is this official so miserable!"
It was clearly a peaceful and prosperous time, so how could rebels break into the county town?
He couldn't bear such a huge sin. When he thought of it, tears were about to fall.
Bang!
At this time, a loud noise was heard from the yamen, followed by the cheers of the mountain people.
"Sir, it's bad, the government office has been broken into! It's a monster, a white ape monster has rushed in..."
There was chaos in the county government office, and everyone was running for their lives.
County Magistrate Liao was no longer panicking. He came to the hall and looked around: "Forget it, forget it, this is my fate..."
He threw the cloth strip onto the beam, preparing to hang himself.
The county magistrate has the duty to defend the territory. If he dies here, it can be considered a death in battle and his family will not be in trouble.
If you dare to run, your whole family will be implicated!
Therefore, the only choice is to die!
"This county magistrate is quite a man!"
Not long after, Wang Shun rushed in and saw this scene.
In fact, no matter how passionate a person who is hanged is, his corpse will be extremely disgusting after death.
He glanced at them and didn't even have the interest to collect the bodies. He told a nearby villager, "Everyone, take your things and prepare to retreat!"
"Big boss?"
A mountain dweller lamented: "This is a great city... Such a nice house."
"Alas... this place is nice, but we can't defend it."
Wang Shun shook his head and sneered: "But one day, I will come back!"
…
Summer of the thirteenth year of the Great Saturday.
Some mountain people broke into Dazheng County, Zhengyang Prefecture, Dingzhou, and looted overnight. The county magistrate and county lieutenant were all killed on the spot, and the county's warehouses and wealthy families suffered incalculable losses...
As soon as the news came out, it shocked the government and the public.
After all, the Great Zhou had just boasted about the prosperity under its rule when a county town was breached, which was tantamount to a slap in the face.
Moreover, because it was mixed with legends of monsters, auspiciousness, etc., it became more and more intense and spread widely among the people, and the government failed to stop it despite repeated bans.
In Bailiang Mountain.
"Robbery power... Such abundant Robbery power..."
Fang Xian was perched on the bluestone, and suddenly stood up: "The second transformation of Gangsha Nine Transformations - Invisibility Phantom, it's done!"
