Chapter 5: You have to pretend to be this cool!
At the command, more than 2,000 Taiping Dao followers began the attack.
Even though they were ragged, skinny, and holding nothing but a ridiculous-looking bamboo in their hands, they moved forward in unison, shouting in unison: "Kill!" They still looked very imposing and gathered together into one force.
When the soldiers of Sunjiazhuang heard the deafening word "kill", many of the men who had contempt on their faces suddenly changed their expressions and became panic-stricken in an instant.
Master Sun suddenly drew out his iron sword and shouted loudly: "Don't panic, no matter how many people there are, they are just a group of hungry peasants. Listen to my command and charge! The first person to kill will be rewarded with ten gold coins! Kill one person and exempt the tenant from rent for a year! Kill all these peasants!!"
There will always be brave men when there is a big reward. After hearing this, the soldiers who were originally a little timid became less afraid and they screamed and started to charge.
However, the Taiping sect members faced the charge of the troops, but they were as firm as a mountain and moved forward steadily.
The believer at the front had already started to tremble with his hands and his whole body was shaking uncontrollably, but he still gritted his teeth and moved forward. His eyes were bright. He did it for the Taiping Dao, for survival, and for world peace!
The doctrines and ideas of Taiping Dao were instilled over and over again on a daily basis, and almost every word was deeply rooted in people's hearts. At this moment, they finally played a role.
When the Sunjiazhuang troops charged to a certain distance, the small leaders almost used up all their strength to shout: "Thrust!"
It was just a simple word, but everyone stabbed it out at the same time.
The results of three months of training are presented at this moment.
The charging soldiers were stabbed instantly and began to wail.
The advantages of the wolf-whip are fully utilized here. An inch longer, an inch stronger, it stabs the opponent first. When it is pulled back, the bamboo stick sweeps like a whip, making the opponent unable to open his eyes.
Seeing this, the small square masters continued to shout: "Stab again!"
The wolf-whip that had just been pulled back was stabbed out again, and the sharp bamboo pierced the enemy twice, killing dozens of people in the blink of an eye. The morale of the troops in Sunjiazhuang dropped almost visibly. Under the threat of death, the little money given by Master Sun was obviously not enough to keep this group of people fighting.
In this era, any army that survived a collapse even though its casualties exceeded 10% were the elite among the elite. This group of slaves and followers was obviously not a strong army, so it was natural for them to collapse at this moment.
Su Che shouted, "Surrender your weapons and we won't kill you!"
At this moment, more than 2,000 followers heard the leader's words and shouted in unison: "Surrender your weapons and we will not kill you!"
As soon as these words were spoken, almost all the troops dropped their weapons, knelt on the ground and surrendered directly.
Master Sun was so furious when he saw this scene that he shouted to an old man next to him, "Master, if you don't take action now, when will you?!"
The worshiper at the side looked at the powerful Taiping Army in front of him and his face turned pale. He said in panic: "Master Sun, the situation is over, the situation is over!"
"Old priest, if we let this group of believers attack us, we will surely die. Think carefully!" Master Sun stamped his feet in anxiety.
"Okay, okay, okay! I'll give it a try. It would be best if I can scare these peasants." The priest frowned and said with gritted teeth.
Then, the old priest took out a piece of talisman paper from his pocket, blew a breath of spiritual energy into it, muttered a few spells, and finally threw the talisman paper out.
The talisman paper grew when it was touched by the wind, and in the blink of an eye it turned into a red-haired dragon. The dragon opened its mouth and spewed out smoke and flames, and then spoke in human language: "You are a rebel, how dare you act rashly here?!"
When the Taiping sect members saw the huge monster in the sky, many of them were frightened and subconsciously put down their weapons. Some even bowed their heads and said, "Grandpa Dragon King, please spare our lives. Grandpa Dragon King, please calm down!"
Zhang Liang beside Su Che widened his eyes: "There is actually someone in Sunjia Village who knows this magic, brother, what should we do?"
Su Che smiled slightly. He had no intention of taking action. After all, he was just a country tycoon, not one of those wealthy families. It was a pity that at this critical juncture, he had to pretend!
In the early days of the Taiping Army , they had never seen the world and were easily intimidated.
"Don't panic, just watch me take action."
Su Che's voice appeared in the ears of every believer, instantly stabilizing the morale of the army. Then he took out a paper man from his sleeve and threw it out. The paper man also grew taller in the wind and soon turned into a three-meter-tall golden-armored warrior.
The golden-armored warrior was holding a huge sword. His armor was shining brightly in the sun. He said in a deep voice, "I am the golden-armored warrior who protects the Taiping Dao. You are just a demon dragon. Why don't you surrender?"
Then the warrior in golden armor stabbed with his sword, so fast and fierce that the red-haired dragon had nowhere to escape and was directly wounded. Then, like a deflated balloon, it disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Seeing this, the Taiping Daoists shouted:
"Won!"
"The demon dragon has been subdued!"
"The demon dragon is dead, we win!"
"The leader is mighty!"
"The Lord's divine power!"
"What a powerful golden-armored giant!"
In the eyes of this group of followers, Su Che's methods were almost the same as those of a god, and the former Dragon King had now turned into a demon dragon.
In fact, if a real dragon came, even if it was a flooded dragon, not to mention the golden-armored warrior, even Su Che would not be its match.
But this is just a deception offered by the Sun family. What a huge red-haired dragon, but it is just for show. Su Che, the golden-armored warrior, at least has some combat power and can barely hold on, but the red-haired dragon has no other skills except the ability to spit fire.
Seeing his "magic weapon" destroyed, the Sun family's priest turned pale, spat out a mouthful of blood, and turned around to leave.
"Where are you going to offer sacrifices?" The master of the Sun family was also frightened by the scene and said in panic.
"Run!" The worshipper said in horror.
But at this moment, the servants of the Sun family who were guarding on both sides a second ago rushed over, tied up Master Sun and the priest, and sent them to Su Che as a gift of surrender.
The first thing Mr. Sun said when he saw Su Che was: "You can't kill me, I have a relationship with the county governor!"
"Oh? What's the relationship?" Su Che asked back with interest.
Mr. Sun, however, was hesitant and unable to say anything.
Su Che smiled and said, "It's nothing more than the granddaughter of a friend of a distant relative being a concubine of the county governor? Do you think that since I can come to attack you, you won't investigate?"
"You...you can't kill me. It's a serious crime to abuse lynching! As long as the matter is exposed, you will not die a good death!" Master Sun was a little incoherent.
"It's no use telling you this." Su Che said calmly, "Take him away."
The people on the side quickly took Mr. Sun away, and then his younger brother Zhang Bao came over and said, "Brother, what should we do with the Sun family?"
Su Che thought for a moment and said, "After the trial of the chief culprit of the Sun family, announce his crimes, let Leng Gao come to the stage to criticize him and tell his grievances and sufferings, and then kill him. As for the others, since they are not the chief culprits, there is no need to kill them. Let them work to atone for their crimes."
"But we raided their homes. If we don't kill them all, it will cause trouble in the future." Zhang Bao frowned.
Su Che shook his head: "We can't kill them. If we kill them, the landlords' families will never surrender. What we want is fairness. If that's the case, we can't kill innocent people."
"What if these people run away and report to the police..." Zhang Bao was still a little worried.
"What do you think is the difference between them and us since they have no family background and no land?" Su Che asked back.
"This..." Zhang Bao thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "That's true. When people like us go to the police to report, we are usually beaten with 20 sticks, and then we are asked about our grievances. If it's troublesome, we will be kicked out directly."
