Daming iron-blooded Chief Assistant

Chapter 25 Killing Huang Shilang

When he arrived at the school grounds, Zhang Zongxian asked Liang Chen to assemble a team to check the weapons.Ready to go anytime.

He will stay in the barracks tonight, waiting for news from Yunong.If the people don't mobilize, then they can only lead people to attack Le Changbao.

He was very anxious to think that the soldiers were going to storm the fort wall under the rain of arrows. After all, Zhang Zongxian had been giving lectures to the soldiers during this time, and now he could call out every soldier's name.He didn't want these vigorous young people to die on the wall of this country house.They should gallop on the grasslands between the white mountains and the black waters.But there is no one who is immortal in a war. I hope that Huang Shilang can be killed with the least casualties tomorrow, so that the people will suffer less.

It would be great if the [-]-pound cannon was built earlier. Thinking of this, Zhang Zongxian thought again that he could use gunpowder to blow open the gate of the fort.Immediately ordered people to move all the gunpowder in stock and wrap it in silk to make explosive bags.

At night, when Yu Nong came to report to Lechangbao, the villagers around Lechangbao were all mobilized.Originally, the common people had no way to deal with Huang Shilang, but when they said to besiege Huang Shilang, they all applauded.No one is willing to lose the land like this.Troubles come out of poor mountains and rivers, since you, Huang Shilang, won't let me live, I won't let you, Huang Shilang, live better.

After learning that the people had been mobilized, Zhang Zongxian knew that the matter was [-]% sure.After confirming with Liangchen that tomorrow will be three o'clock breakfast and five o'clock oath to leave.Zhang Zongxian also relaxed a bit, but he still couldn't sleep. In his previous life, he had fought in groups at most, and this was his first time fighting a war.Think that the sword has no eyes and wants Liangchen to lead the team.But thinking that he will have to face bigger battles in the future, he has to adapt to the cruelty of war, so he can only comfort himself that he is a time traveler, how could a time traveler die.

After staying up until the third shift, the troops began to gather for dinner, and after the meal, they gathered in the school grounds to wait for Zhang Zongxian to speak.Zhang Zongxian went to the stage in official uniform without wearing armor and spoke to the assembled soldiers:
"Raising soldiers for a thousand days and using them for a time, Huang Shilang actually gathered troops to rob the people's land by force. As the parent and officer of this county, Zhang Zongxian, I must not tolerate such lunatics oppressing the people. Our food, clothing and military salaries come from the people's support. How can we sit idly by when the people are in trouble? The purpose of gathering troops today is to kill Huang Shilang and save the people from suffering."

At this time, Liangchen and Boren took the lead in shouting, "Save the people and kill Huang Shilang." The officers also shouted, and soon all the soldiers present shouted.

After Zhang Zongxian saw that the morale was mobilized, he added fuel to the fire.

"From now on, all the troops who kill and capture the enemy in the battle will be credited with the squad as a unit. One person who kills the enemy will be rewarded with three taels, and one person who will be captured will be rewarded with five taels. Reward 50 taels."

After listening to the reward, the morale is even higher.

Zhang Zongxian went on to announce eighteen military rules that must be cut on the battlefield:

1. Those who advance and retreat without waiting for orders and those who do not return to the team after the battle shall be beheaded;
2. Those who look back at the battle and retreat and whisper to each other will be beheaded;
3. Those who report falsely in front of the battle and cheat for rewards will be beheaded;
4. Fleeing in case of business, or cheating on the battlefield, beheaded;
5. If the card is not strictly guarded, the enemy may steal or report late, and the one who flees in surprise first shall be beheaded;
6. Those who are ordered to be negligent before going to the battle, and those who miss the military opportunity, will be beheaded;
7. The leader who died in the battle, the official support was insufficient, and there was no casualty, and the leader died in battle, and the soldiers in the shed had no casualties, all were killed by beheading;

8. If there is a fire in front of the battle and misses something, beheaded;
9. Those who lost ordnance in the procession and those who abandoned the ordnance without being injured before the battle shall be beheaded;
10. Anyone who leaks secret decrees, intentionally increases or decreases edicts, or eavesdrops on secret discussions will be beheaded;
11. Those who disturb the residents, rob property, and rape women shall be beheaded;
12. Those who form alliances and establish associations, who make rumors to confuse the crowd, will be beheaded;
13. Shout out in the dark night, and those who walk in disorder, beheaded;
14. Those who fight with weapons and gather crowds to make noise shall be beheaded;
15. Anyone who intentionally disobeys military orders and insults the officer in charge shall be beheaded;
16. Those who steal from the night and wander away from the camp, beheaded;
17. Officials who intend to send troops to disturb the people will be executed;

18. Those who withhold military pay will be executed;

This time, Zhang Zongxian personally led people to enforce the law.Originally, Zhang Zongxian envisaged that the army would go on an expedition and arrange for sacrifices to the sages and consecrations, etc., but now the power is urgent and he will not do it.

After taking the oath, Boren led the cavalry to set off first to find an opportunity to squeeze the gate of the fort.Zhang Zongxian and Liang Chen followed later.

When I arrived at the city gate, I saw many young and strong men gathered in front of the gate. It seemed that there were hundreds of people.Zhang Zongxian rode his horse and saw Old Man Liu and Foreman Wang standing in front of the door.When they saw Zhang Zongxian, they all greeted him.He saluted directly and said:

"The county magistrate is hunting down the yellow thief for the common people. How can we just sit back and watch? All the younger generations of the family have brought."

"That's right, the county lord and I are all willing to help the county lord find thieves."

"After the county lord took office, he reduced or exempted us from taxes. Now that the county lord is going to hunt for thieves, how can we not help us?"

Zhang Zongxian was very moved to see these civilians who brought their own weapons to help them punch.Some things he didn't do in vain.Zhang Zongxian shouted to the people present:
"Fellow folks, I would like to thank everyone here first. It is the responsibility of parents and officials to protect the people under their rule. How can they let the people go to battle to kill the enemy?"

"The county lord, we are not afraid of death. Since the county lord came to Qingjian County, we ordinary people have hope for life. Today, the county lord is looking for thieves, and we must help the county lord."

Why did Zhang Zongxian persuade everyone to go with him? Seeing that a lot of time was wasted, Zhang Zongxian had no choice but to take everyone out of the city to Le Changbao.

Along the way, people continued to join the team, making the team longer and longer, and people from the whole village joined in with farm tools as they passed by.Zhang Zongxian sent Yunong to find out what happened?

Soon Yu Nong came back and reported, "The people of the county lord knew that the lord was going to hunt for thieves, so they were willing to go with the lord. People near the county town rushed over, and people from villages far away also rushed over."

Such simple people, but the princes in the court regard them as praying mantises who are unwilling to starve to death at home and block the traffic with their arms.

Now that the common people are coming to help Zhang Zongxian, the momentum is so great, then Huang Shilang must not easily trust Zhang Zongxian.There is no way to talk about fraudulently taking the fort gate.I just hope that Huang Shilang will recognize the situation and not be in the driver's seat.

After Zhang Zongxian brought people to the Lechang Fort, there was already a sea of ​​people, and the people took farm tools and weapons to surround the Lechang Fort.Seeing the county magistrate coming with troops, he cheered even more.They were all shouting "Master Qingtian".

After Zhang Zongxian asked Boren to lead the cavalry to detour around the fort, he directly led Liangchen's troops to stop a hundred meters outside the gate of the fort.Looking at the arrows stuck on the ground not far away and the bright red blood stains, he knew that some people had been injured, and then looked at the heads of people running on the wall of the fort, and there were bows, arrows, spears and rolling stones.And that Huang Shilang was looking around on the wall of the fort.

Zhang Zongxian shouted loudly to Huang Shilang on the wall: "Huang Shilang, if you arrest me now, I will spare you your death. If you resist, you will be torn to pieces."

"The county respects me, Huang Shilang, and I have no grievances or enmities with you. After you took office, I have done all the courtesy and filial piety. Why do you have to kill them all?"

"You Huang Shilang fish and meat folks, bullying men and women in the yamen sued you is higher than you. You have no grievances or enmity with this official, but you have enmity with the people of Qingjian County. As a parent, officer and child, people bullied you Can I ignore it? You can save your life if you are captured quickly. Otherwise, the anger of the people will burn you to death."

"If the county lord retreats today, I will donate ten thousand taels of gold to the county lord in the future"

"I advise you to leave the castle and surrender as soon as possible."

"Xianzun, you accepted me 500 taels of gold."

Hearing what he said, Zhang Zongxian was very upset.You can't die today.Then he ordered Liang Chen in a low voice to get the troops ready, and as soon as he waved his hand, everyone shot at Huang Shilang.

"Don't slander me. The people on the wall heard that today only Huang Shilang, the leader of the bandit, will be punished. The others will open the door and surrender quickly. I can forget the past. If not, I will be punished severely."

After speaking, the people on the wall began to shake.Seeing the unstable situation, Huang Shilang immediately shouted

"Everyone, don't listen to the dog officer. As long as everyone guards the fort with one heart, come up and kill one. If you kill one, you will be rewarded with five taels of silver. I will pass on a message to my brothers on the grassland, and they will come to rescue me soon."

Zhang Zongxian saw that he was still stubbornly resisting, so he waved his hand and ordered to shoot.The people who had already loaded the ammunition raised their hands and shot at Huang Shilang.There was a sound of a gun popping out of the chamber, accompanied by smoke from unburned gunpowder.

After the smoke cleared, there was no one on the wall of the fort.Zhang Zongxian immediately ordered to send death squads to blow up the gate of the fort.No one came out until the death squads reached the lower wall of the fort gate.With a loud bang, Zhang Zongxian's official hat was blown away.But Liang Chen rushed into the fort at the head of the fort regardless of the gunpowder smoke that had not dissipated.

It took Zhang Zongxian a while to realize that the people besieging the city were also startled by the explosives just now.When the gunpowder smoke dissipated, we saw that the gate of the fort had exploded, and we were about to rush in.

Zhang Zongxian walked quickly to the gate of the fort and blocked the gate with his body.Shouted to the people.

"Huang Shilang was punished, and the officials who occupied the fields by Huang Shilang will return their fields after verification. All the interest will be exempted. This Lechang Castle is too small to accommodate so many people, which will inevitably lead to trampling. Fellow villagers This officer will bring Huang Shilang's head here."

The common people began to continuously cheer "Master Qingtian"

After arranging Old Man Liu and Foreman Wang to lead their men to maintain order and block the gate of the fort.Zhang Zongxian led the people quickly to the fort.

Passing through the fort gate is the central street in the fort.Going to the right is the school yard, and going to the left is the passage to the fort wall, which is now full of soldiers.Liang Chen has already led people to attack Huang Shilang's compound.

Zhang Zongxian walked up to the fort wall and looked at the weapons and rolling stones all over the floor, thankful that he was facing a gang of mobs.Otherwise, how many people would have to die to capture the fort without cannons.Standing on the city wall, looking at the people who are still cheering.Zhang Zongxian was filled with emotion.After all, the county magistrate broke down other people's homes, but he was just a powerful family who oppressed the people.

After appreciating his masterpiece for a while, Zhang Zongxian took Li Jiasan to the castle.Along the way, the doors were closed and there were discarded weapons everywhere.There are only a few intersections where there are corpses smashed by firecrackers.More were captives tied up by soldiers.

Soon Boren also entered the fort through the back door.Zhang Zongxian asked him to quickly close the back door to prevent the people from rushing in and losing control.On the other hand, he walked towards Huang Shilang's mansion.
