Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

"Brothers in the city! Do you still want to live the hard life of the past? Open the city gate and follow us. We guarantee that there will be delicious food and spicy food here. Otherwise, the army will enter the city without leaving behind!  … ..."

Hearing his soldiers shouting from a distance, Gao Yingxiang narrowed his eyes and carefully looked at Ningling County in front of him for a while.I found that this county town really can't be compared with the city on Nine Sides. The city wall is short, and there is no river in the moat in front of the city wall, only a small ditch full of withered grass.

So Gao Yingxiang laughed, and couldn't help but said to his side: "It's a small place, you can go down day and night."

"King Chuang, don't be careless! It seems that those soldiers in the city still want to defend the city!" Although Luo Rucai was reminding him, he still had a relaxed smile on his face.

After entering the hinterland of Henan, the city defenses of those prefectural cities were better, but the city defenses of those county towns were useless.Often the whole city surrendered as soon as the peasant rebel army called the door.

Some local officials in those county towns had already heard the news and fled, while others hid in the county government office like fools, as if they could perform invisibility.When the city was broken, these officials suddenly realized that the whole family either hanged themselves or committed suicide.This makes Luo Rucai, who is a bit lecherous, feel a little regretful that he didn't get any official family members and daughters to play with.

That's why Gao Yingxiang and Luo Ru were a little surprised to see that Ningling County was going to resist today.But after being strange, I was also a little excited, so I let my children play, and it’s not so good if I haven’t seen blood all the time!

"How? Do you attack or I attack?" Gao Yingxiang asked.

"You attack! I'll come for field battles, but you're better at attacking the city." Luo Rucai hesitated for a moment before evading.

For such a small town, Luo Rucai estimated that his troops would have no problem capturing it.But everyone knows: whoever's troops break through the city first will have enough money, and Luo Rucai still wants to let the peasants rebel against the leader of the army—Gao Yingxiang.

"That's good!" Gao Yingxiang was not surprised by Luo Rucai's answer.Then he ordered, "Shout another stick of incense! If the people in the city still don't surrender, they will attack the city immediately. I will sleep in Ningling County at night!"

"Promise!" Gao Yingxiang's generals took orders in unison.

"Has your Yuzhi County's head been knocked flat? It's fine to go away with the militia. Why did you take away the ten three-eyed firecrackers and ammunition that were guarding the city? Doesn't he know that the Shaanxi bandits are only two miles away from Ningling County? The journey of the sky? Did he really think that he was Zhuge Liang who could make empty plans in Ningling County? The most ridiculous thing is, why did he leave his concubine and children in the city? I really don’t know if he is real Stupid or fake stupid!" Qian Qi was full of anger.

"Yes! Yes! Yes!" At this moment, Ding Zhubo must follow Qian Qi's wishes no matter what.But he couldn't help but slander in his heart: "If the county lord's head was knocked flat, it must be your Runing Army who knocked him flat all these years."

Seeing that Ding Zhubo has always been obedient and obedient, Qian Qi's anger can no longer be vented.He then asked, "How are things in the city going?"

"A strong man has been arranged to plug the gap in the second city wall. All the food and supplies in the city are also being sent to the second city wall. It is estimated that the second city wall can be completely built this evening!" Ding Zhubo hurriedly reported road.

"It's not enough! The houses between the first and second city walls have to be demolished, and the wooden beams, bricks and stones that have been removed are sent to the two city walls. Also, the second city wall is already very thin, so the Once the car hits, it may collapse. Let the strong men block the opening and immediately reinforce the second city wall. Now all the people in the city who are not fighting must be evacuated behind the second city wall. Ask the craftsmen to investigate, and if it is still Build another wall around the county government office. Prepare to build a third city wall."

"Okay! Okay! I will arrange it right away!" Ding Zhubo quickly agreed.

When Wu Shigong was guarding Ningling County when the Holy Spirit Society rebelled back then, he asked Qi County Magistrate to arrange for Foreman Jiang to build a second city wall in the city.

But as time went by, Ningling County was peaceful again under the protection of the Runing Army.In addition, after the addition of a city wall in the county, the traffic is really inconvenient, so it is now.The place where the second city wall blocked the roads in the city was demolished.

Fortunately, only a building about two feet high was built.The width of the simple city wall can only stand a few people side by side, and the total distance of the blocked roads is not long, so it can be barely completed in one day after mobilizing the whole city.

At this moment, a soldier came over and said: "My lord, all the young and strong leaders in the city have assembled. Just wait for your lord to go and give a lecture."

Qian Qi came to more than [-] young and strong leaders.Those leaders have all gone up to the city wall and seen the huge army of the peasant rebel army, and they all felt that Ningling County is like a flat boat in the ocean that would sink at any time, so their faces were full of fear.

As soon as Qian Qi arrived, Hu Mu looked around.The commotion of the chieftains was also quieted down.

Qian Qi said: "Everyone has also heard the shouting outside the city. I understand that people want to live longer, and no one wants to fight. But you all know the life of a bandit. You also understand the truth of thieves. You all have a family in the city, do you want the whole family to live in the precarious life of bandits?"

"Maybe you are scared when you see the 10,000+ people outside the city. But back then, our Master Wu led two hundred soldiers to defend the city from tens of thousands of rioters from the Holy Spirit Society. This proves that the bandits are bandits. There is no way. So those Shaanxi bandits outside the city have nothing to fear."

"Divide yourselves into twelve groups, three groups for each city wall. When the city is not being attacked, one group goes up to the city wall to guard. When the Shaanxi bandits attack the city, two groups go up. If it's really intense, go up to three groups. Instead of resting, those who rest can only stay under the city wall and cannot leave."

"Now there are thousands of soldiers I have brought into the city. Ningling County can be defended, so don't panic. But I, Qian Qi, also said the ugly things first. Your family members will be properly arranged behind the second city wall. Protected. You don’t need to worry about it!”

"However, as long as any group of people makes a mistake and allows the Shaanxi bandits to enter the city. Those who surrendered to the Shaanxi bandits and returned to the city, the whole family will go to Yama to meet them."

"Yes! General!" After hearing Qian Qi's words, the hearts of those young and strong leaders also settled down a little.

Just after noon on the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month in the seventh year of Chongzhen, Gao Yingxiang commanded his battalion to officially attack Ningling County. (To be continued..)
