Chapter 225: Siege
Dazheng County.
county seat.
A large flag with the Chinese character "Shun" fluttered in the wind on top of the city wall.
Wang Shun inspected the city wall with a frown on his face, obviously feeling very uneasy.
Rebellion was indeed not an easy task. He racked his brains and, with a bit of luck, broke the encirclement of the mansion, and immediately 50,000 troops from the imperial court arrived.
According to Wang Shun, it would be better to hide in the mountains like a turtle.
Thanks to the mountain people's familiarity with the terrain and the help of the monsters, they can maintain peace for at least a few years.
But Shan Junzi directly rejected this plan.
Wang Shun had no choice but to bring three thousand mountain people to Dazheng County again. As for breaking the city, it was simple. After all, he had already taken it once, and his reputation was far-reaching. The defenders on the city walls were not very motivated to fight, and they even broke into the city and occupied it without the help of monsters.
But next, they would immediately face the situation of being attacked by the imperial army.
"Village leader, Lord Shanjun is here."
At this time, a mountain villager came over and whispered a few words.
"Please come in!"
Wang Shun hurriedly took two steps forward and saw Shan Junzi striding towards him: "After this period, you can officially become king. Lord Demon Saint has already chosen a name for you. It must be King Shun!"
"Wang Shun, King Shun?"
Wang Shun's expression changed a little, like yearning, fear, and excitement: "My whole family's lives were saved by Grandpa White Ape, so I'm not afraid of anything. Anyway, my name has gone down in history, so what if it gets worse? Haha..."
Family bloodlines and the like had naturally been transferred long ago.
If you want to rebel, it is better to prepare this escape route early.
At this time, Wang Shun was really not afraid of anything.
"Haha...relax, our demon tribe will help you a lot this time. At least we will disrupt this state! I've read some books written by humans recently. If a king doesn't occupy an ancient state, he is not a real king, but a grass-roots king...Haha, don't forget your promise when the time comes!"
The mountain gentleman laughed.
"If I dominate Dingzhou, I must cede Zhengyang Prefecture." Wang Shun shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently.
"Very good."
The mountain monster turned into a gust of evil wind and disappeared.
Although the other mountain people had seen this many times, they were still trembling with fear when they saw this scene.
…
The mountain hermit galloped all the way and arrived at the location of the demon court.
This mountain has long been turned into a monster base, with countless monsters patrolling nearby. The stone chamber in the center where the Great White Ape Sage is in seclusion is naturally the most important place.
When Shan Junzi came out of the stone chamber , he saw Yu Kongzi.
The human that Yu Kongzi transformed into was very tall, dressed in black, with a hooked nose, a pointed beak, falcon eyes, and some feather-like patterns on his face.
This is done intentionally to distinguish them from humans.
All demon races, even if they have transformed, will retain some of the pride of their race.
"Shan Junzi, you're back?"
Seeing the arrival of the mountain gentleman, Yu Kongzi, who was sitting cross-legged, opened his eyes and said with a face without any sadness or joy.
"How is the teacher?"
The hermit first bowed three times towards the stone chamber before asking.
"As always, we dare not rashly use our demonic powers to spy... I believe that with the teacher's ability, nothing will happen."
Yu Kongzi said calmly.
"This time... the human court has sent tens of thousands of troops to encircle and suppress the rebel king. It is said that a prince is leading the troops. It depends on you to take action." Shan Junzi said, "I will guard this place."
"I will take action... Of course there is no problem, but if the immortals of Fang Xiandao take action on the human side, what should I do?"
The monsters are not afraid of heaven or earth, but they are afraid of Taoist Fangxian who can hurt the Great White Ape Sage!
"Hehe... Don't worry, the little monsters I sent out have all come back and told me that the immortals have established a Taoist temple far away and are not participating in the army... Without the immortals, ordinary Taoists are just delivering food!"
The mountain gentleman stuck out his tongue and licked his lips.
It was a little afraid at first, but after trying it a few times, especially after eating a few Taoists, it suddenly understood.
In this world, apart from Fang Xiandao, there is no other force that can curb the demon race!
What is the dragon energy of the court?
What is Taoist magic?
They are all paper tigers that will break with a single poke!
"Well, if that's the case, I have nothing to fear...but the weakness of my demon race may not be outside, but inside..."
Yu Kongzi said: "I heard from the bird spirits that the wolf general kept coming down the mountain to eat people and refused to obey orders. And the horse monkey actually turned into a black god and went down the mountain to cheat people of their incense. It is said that he suffered a great loss at the hands of a Taoist priest recently, so he has calmed down a lot..."
"The horse monkey is of the same tribe as the teacher after all. As for the demon wolf, hehe... it was so arrogant before, but now that the human army has arrived, isn't it hiding in the mountains and forests again?"
Shan Junzi said disdainfully: "Don't worry, I'll go and knock it over... When the teacher comes out, everything will be settled."
"Yes." Yu Kongzi also sighed.
These two monsters have absolute confidence in the Great White Ape Sage.
…
"Wang Shun, you've committed a crime!"
As soon as Wang Shun opened his eyes, he saw a group of soldiers rushing into the room.
"Where are my personal guards?"
He roared angrily, but found no response at all. He felt empty inside . Seeing the soldiers surrounding him, he became even more panicked and tried to pull out the long sword on the bedside.
When he pulled, he caught nothing!
The sharp sword that had always been with him was now left with only an empty scabbard.
"Ha ha!"
The officers and soldiers laughed and put the chain around Wang Shun's neck. An officer next to him drew his knife.
puff!
Blood splatters!
"ah!"
Wang Shun woke up from his dream with a cold sweat on his forehead. His first reaction was to touch his neck and ask, "Is my head still there?"
The second reaction was to grab the sword.
With a sword in hand, I felt more at ease, and it relaxed my spirit.
"Village leader, something terrible has happened!"
At this moment, hurried footsteps approached quickly, followed by the sound of knocking on the door.
"What happened?"
Wang Shun put on his sword and dressed, then walked out of the gate. He saw the morning light was dim and it was almost dawn.
"We've received a message from the demon tribe that the imperial army is approaching!"
The mountain man said hurriedly.
"What? Take me to see it! And... notify everyone to be on alert!"
Wang Shun was shocked and went to the top of the city wall.
Before long, a dark straight line came into view in the distance.
The line kept getting closer and soon turned into a tide of people. They were the 20,000 soldiers of the imperial army. They were well-armored and had high morale, as fierce as wolves and tigers.
On the city wall, Wang Shun looked at the approaching army in neat and orderly formation and suddenly felt suffocated.
He's actually pretty good.
The other mountain people's legs were shaking and they were about to collapse without a fight.
After all, during the six decades of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the imperial court's authority was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
If they met them in the plains, the mountain people might just run away.
Even if they relied on the city, Wang Shun did not dare to guarantee it. At this time, he issued orders again and again: "Let the white-haired soldiers be the supervisors. Those who dare to escape will be killed!"
The white-haired soldiers were from the Baimao Village and were considered Wang Shun's direct subordinates. There was nothing else he could do but send them all away.
