Infinite Blood God

.

spn early summer.

It was the time of day when the sun was shining brightly and the climate oscillated between the crispness of the morning and the heat of the midday.

time.

Also known as Yuzhong, it is near noon when the snake hides in the grass at this time.In fact, to put it bluntly, it was around 9 o'clock in the morning.

Since the day just dawned this morning, the Bailian army, who had traveled more than 30 miles, finally saw the city wall of Tai'an County not far away. [

Hu Datong was riding on a short and thin Mongolian horse, looking at the low city wall of Tai'an County not far ahead, with a bloodthirsty smile on his face... Finally, he saw the city again!

Since the uprising, Hu Datong, who was originally a "fragrance master" in the White Lotus Sect, quickly seized huge power.The strength of the tens of thousands of Bailian sect members under him is considered to be the best among all the incense masters.

The White Lotus Sect has a very long heritage, and it was completely broken up due to the failure of several uprisings in the middle, so the White Lotus Sect is different in different places.

But generally speaking, the regulations of the White Lotus Sect all over the world are divided into three levels: altar, incense, and inheritance.

The head of the White Lotus Sect in the southern provinces is Zheng Yinru, who is best at preaching and confusing the people. The people in the south have been oppressed by salt tax, sea ban, land painting and other evil policies over the years, and the people are very angry.Therefore, the forces in the south can be said to respond to all calls, and there are like clouds of followers!

Since the uprising, the southern provinces have almost been in chaos.

A large number of farmers who lost their land and a large number of fishermen have become the main force against the government.

There are three general altars in various parts of the Central Plains.

All are passed down from generation to generation.

Hu Datong himself belongs to one of the thirteen incense sticks under the general altar of Hebei and Shandong.

Now Bailian is revolting, and the world is corrupt.This Hu Datong also took advantage of the situation and attacked the county town where he was located from the inside in one fell swoop, killing all the big households in the city, relying on the number of followers to pull up this white lotus army of tens of thousands in an instant!

At this time, he was fighting straight to the capital, looting, burning and killing around the most affluent capital to strengthen his strength.At the same time, it is also to make a name for itself.

In the past few days, he has already entered two cities in succession.

The amount of food, weapons, and money earned!And what made Hu Datong even more excited were those watery and delicate housekeepers!

Hu Datong felt as if he was in control of the whole world whenever he crushed those delicate ladies under his body!

What about the magistrate?Don't you just watch me play with your wife and daughter? !

Aren't those vicious police officers usually upright?As soon as the army arrived, all of them cut off their hands and feet and dumped their corpses on the street!

Those big landlords, where is the sense of superiority that usually regards them as untouchables?

No amount of money can buy your life! [

Hu Datong enjoys all of this... He likes the thrill of knocking down those formerly high-ranking people from the high platform, killing their wives and daughters in front of them, enjoying their wealth, and then killing them in their despair!

Now, the next target is Tai'an County!

……

"There are ten thousand people, connecting the sky and the earth!" Zhang Wang stood at the top of the city, looking at the tens of thousands of troops outside the city densely spread out to the end of his sight, he was also very shocked.

Although, he has seen the spectacular scene of 10 people gathered in a giant stadium during the Olympic Games.

Although, he has also seen the desperate crowds during the Spring Festival travel...

But the completely evenly spaced crowd without any hostility is a completely different feeling from the tens of thousands of white lotus believers with white cloth strips on their arms under the city today.

Zhang Wang, who has seen military parades in several countries and times through TV or the Internet, can tell at a glance that the soldiers of the White Lotus Sect have little discipline.

Not to mention compared with the army of later generations, even compared with Zhang Wang's previous military training level, it is far behind!

Tens of thousands of people spread out on the ground, it was a mess!

In dense places, there is darkness, and in loose places, there are even groups of people in twos and threes.If it weren't for the white cloth strips on their arms and waists to let people know that they are a whole, ordinary people would really think that this is a group of farmers who don't know each other and are going to go to the fields separately.

In fact, these White Lotus followers are indeed similar to farmers, even the weapons in their hands are mostly farm tools used to farm!

Hoes, pitchforks, rakes...

More people are directly carrying a long stick with the thickness of a teacup, and some are holding a sickle, an ax and the like.

"Quick! Light up all the fires! When the rebels attack the city, there must be hot water!!!" Some Ming army general banners and hundreds of households shouted frantically at the top of the city, urging the soldiers to prepare for the defense.

In addition to the rocks and logs that had already been piled up behind the battlements, many officers continued to urge the soldiers to carry more stones to the top of the city, fearing that it would not be enough to fight for a while.

Bundles of arrows, which are not cheap to make, were carried on the top of the city, and the bundled straw ropes were picked apart with a knife, and the archers competed for these arrows one by one.

Time passed in this chaotic preparation.

When the water in the cauldron gradually steamed up, the Bailian army outside the city roughly set up a simple camp outside the city.

Multigrain porridge was cooked in big pots snatched from several families, and occasionally pork was stewed in some big pots.The aroma wafting out of it made several people salivate.

Watching the other party cooking from a distance, the two thousand households in the city and the county magistrate of Tai'an also ordered a fire.

Both sides started to eat soon, and Bailian taught one side to start a fire to cook first, but there were too many people, and the food sharing was slow.The Tai'an County defenders were a little slower, but fortunately there were fewer people, so the two sides almost finished the meal, whether it was breakfast or lunch. [

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom...

The sound of heavy cowhide drums sounded, and several large flagpoles with a height of more than eight meters were slowly erected in the white lotus army. On the top of the flagpoles, there were several huge white lotuses sewn with white silk on the blue silk with a size of several square meters. The banner is waving in the wind, full of domineering!

Many elites, wearing a set of white cotton armor and equipped with spears and knives in their hands, rushed out of the formation, shouting and ordering the ordinary civilians trapped in the white lotus army to move towards the city wall with heavy ladders or other siege equipment. Come.

There are three types of engineering equipment in the White Lotus Sect, and the most common one is the simplest ladder.Almost all of them are made of the whole slender tree trunk, with a simple ladder formed by a crossbar nailed in the middle to provide climbing.

It is worth mentioning that the tops of these ladders are all covered with iron sheets, and two iron hooks extend out!

It can be predicted that when these ladders are placed on the top of the city, the iron hook at the top will be firmly hooked on the top of the city.If there is no strength to lift the entire heavy ladder, it is absolutely impossible to overturn the ladder from the top of the city by force.

In addition to this simple ladder, there is another kind with a bracket and wooden wheels below, which feels like a car, but there is an oversized trap that is erected and fixed by ropes.

This kind of ladder was not created by the White Lotus Sect, but it was a kind of ladder that often appeared in wars in China and even in countries all over the world thousands of years ago.

It feels like a movable staircase. Soldiers can move the ladder at the bottom of the staircase protected by wooden boards and shields, and move it to a safe place not far from the city wall.

Then loosen the rope tied to the back of the ladder, and the design on the top is to shoot down the heavy wooden plank forward, and hit the city head hard.

It's like adding an extended landing to a staircase.

In this way, the soldiers attacking the city can quickly rush to the top of the city by taking the stairs, and have a height advantage facing the soldiers at the top of the city.

To a large extent, many disadvantages during siege have been reversed.

This is a very useful ladder.
