"Go up the mountain and snatch our food, no, our money!"
Widow Quan gave an order, and the seven hundred people were divided into three teams. One team stayed at the foot of the mountain, and the other two teams advanced alternately.
This shows that they have gotten rid of the initial messy refugee state.
The Songshan sect reacted quickly. When the team had just climbed less than a mile of the mountain road, more than 20 Songshan sect disciples appeared in the forest on both sides of the mountain road. Their figures were hidden and difficult to spot.
They all held sharp swords and wore armor - this was an act of rebellion in times of peace. They were allowed to hold swords but were not allowed to hide their armor.
As soon as they appeared, they immediately threw rocks down without saying a word!
The stone was about the size of a man's head and was thrown directly from the mountain path dozens of meters high.
Fortunately, according to the marching regulations, a small number of outposts must be posted in front.
Now it was these sentries who saved the lives of the entire army. They discovered the falling stone in time and immediately sounded a rapid whistle to warn the rear.
"Spread out and retreat!" Widow Quan saw this and immediately understood that the disadvantage was too great.
No wonder the people in these sects are so arrogant and condescending. A few dozen people can easily defeat thousands of elites!
They practice martial arts and are so powerful that they can throw stones for an hour!
Even though she was decisive and the team dispersed in time, there were still seven or eight people who couldn't escape in time and were smashed into pieces. It was too horrible to watch!
This was the result of her timely retreat. If she had forced herself forward and rushed forward, only a few dozen of these hundreds of people would have been intact.
Seeing how embarrassed they were above, arrogant laughter could be heard from afar.
"I thought you were so capable, is this all?"
"Haha, it turns out that the evil magic they used is nothing special. They are also afraid of stones!"
"Their magic can only work in the immediate area. We are at a high place and they can't reach it!"
"Keep rushing, man, we have tens of thousands of stones here, one person can turn ten!"
Widow Quan was furious, but there was nothing she could do.
The advantage of being condescending is too great. In the era of cold weapons, a young man who has never been trained can stone a veteran who has been on the battlefield to death.
Therefore, before attacking the city, we should try our best to make ladders and earthen hills to level the gap.
But now that the other party is on the mountain, how can they make a ladder?
This is simply impossible.
The key is that they are not officers and soldiers.
The army can slowly encircle it, and they have a lot of human resources and can find other masters to check and balance, but they can't do this.
After retreating to the foot of the mountain, Quan Widow immediately begged Empress Xuannv: "Empress, what should we do now?"
Zhao Han was also a little at a loss and couldn't figure it out after thinking for a while. Of course, if she was given more time, she could figure it out.
But it has been too long, and we don’t know how many people will die.
Those people from the Songshan sect will not just watch.
She now realizes the benefits of being a dog.
The old trick is repeated: the watery dog eyes flick towards Lao Guo, and then he makes two "barking" sounds, rolls around, and lays out his difficulties.
Wen Rensheng's wisdom was certainly not comparable to hers, so he gave her four words: "Attack them and you will save them."
"Attack them and save them." She immediately became a porter.
When Widow Quan heard this, she immediately became enlightened and admired Empress Xuannu's wisdom.
He is indeed a heavenly being.
When you are at your wits' end, the other party can think of the key in an instant.
This is comparable to the wisdom of Zhuge Liang of the Three Kingdoms.
"Bring me the disciple who was captured guarding the mountain..."
After another interrogation, they understood where the Songshan Sect's must-rescue place was - Mr. Huang in the county seat.
Mr. Huang is a key node in a series of necessary aspects of their lives such as the sale of stolen goods, official protection, human trafficking, etc.
Without these things, their Songshan sect would quickly degenerate into a ruined temple and a poor mountain. How could they support four to five hundred servants and forty or fifty full-time martial arts practitioners?
You must know that one person who practices martial arts can eat as much as ten to a hundred ordinary soldiers!
They can't stand it without any income.
Widow Quan was overjoyed and immediately led her men and horses to the place where Mr. Huang must be rescued, a large manor outside the county town.
A chain reaction quickly started.
Three days later, after receiving the message from Mr. Huang, the Songshan sect had to abandon the mountain road where it had a huge advantage and sent more than 40 people down the mountain for rescue.
This can be considered an overwhelming success.
Those who are still on the mountain are all old men and only a few young masters.
…………
An Wubao manor is surrounded by a three-meter-high earthen wall made of glutinous rice juice and triple earth. There are several earthen buildings in the middle, and a group of people are standing on them, frowning.
"Elders and masters, you all have great martial arts skills, why don't you attack their captains? If this continues, Zhuangzi will be in danger." The manor's steward said with a sad face.
"Damn it, we can't fight at close range. Those people are all good at sorcery. Once we fight at close range, our martial arts will not be able to be used and we will become ordinary elites. A dozen soldiers can hack us to death." An elder of the Songshan Sect said angrily.
"Yes, these untouchables can afford it, but we can't afford it. Each of us has been practicing since childhood and has been practicing hard for twenty or thirty years!"
"That's right, they went back to recruit people and they were ready in three months."
While they were talking, another round of siege came.
The young men shouted slogans, held up long ladders, and held bamboo spears and wooden shields, and surrounded the manor.
The whole widow gathered more than 6,000 young men and besieged the manor.
The slogan is very simple. Food has been robbed by this manor. If you want your family to survive, break the fence!
Before the siege, he also sent a letter to the county town, saying that this was a grudge between Jianghu and Jianghu.
Anyway, the county officials just listened and did not send troops to suppress it.
If troops are sent to suppress it, regardless of whether there are so many soldiers and horses, as long as they are sent, it will be a rebellion, and they will have to report and suffer...
Anyway, if the other party doesn't come to attack the county seat now, it won't matter. Everyone is a drifter and will leave as soon as three years are up.
As for the filial piety Master Huang gave, it was indeed a lot, but no matter how much it was, it would not be enough to pay for the army's military pay and food to put down the rebellion.
However, for the sake of money, they still sent a garrison of more than 200 people to go there to have a look, and finally reported a "rural fighting" mission.
Mr. Huang was so angry that he had no choice but to send people up the mountain overnight to ask people from the Songshan sect to come and rescue him.
At critical moments, it is still reliable to sit on the ground.
Although the exile of officials will not create a feudal town, they are not interested in it and leave as soon as they are done with it.
People from the Songshan faction didn't want to come either, but Mr. Huang threatened that if they didn't come, next year's dividends would be gone.
Kill Mr. Huang and replace him with another agent?
Not to mention that killing Mr. Huang, who has an official reputation, is no different from killing officials to rebel. If they really started this, who would dare to cooperate with them?
The nursing staff and tenant farmers in Zhuangzi are quite capable. After all, if Zhuangzi is destroyed, they will starve to death.
The housekeeper looked annoyed.
Co-author: My husband keeps a bunch of dogs that are useless but not useful!
If I had known this earlier, why not raise three hundred more nursing homes? Isn’t it better than these people?
It's cheap to raise, just raise another one after it dies.
