When he arrived at the school grounds, Zhang Zongxian asked the good ministers to assemble the team to inspect the weapons and prepare to set off at any time.

He will stay in the military camp tonight, waiting for news from Yu Nong. If the people don't mobilize, then he can only lead people to attack Lechang Fort.

He was very anxious when he thought that the soldiers would brave the rain of arrows to storm the fortress wall. After all, Zhang Zongxian had been giving lectures to the soldiers during this period, and now he could call out every soldier's name. He didn't want these energetic young people to just They died on the wall of the rich man's house in the countryside. They should be galloping on the grassland, galloping among the white mountains and black waters. But there is no one who can't die 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 have been better if the twelve-pounder cannon had been built earlier. At this moment, Zhang Zongxian thought that gunpowder could be used to blow open the fort gate. He immediately ordered people to bring all the gunpowder in stock and wrap it in silk to make explosive bags.

At night, Yunong came to report that the villagers near Lechangbao were mobilized. At first, the people had no way to deal with Huang Shilang, but when he was told to besiege Huang Shilang, they all applauded. No one was willing to lose their land like this. The poor mountains and rivers gave rise to unruly people. Since you Huang Shilang won't let me live, I won't let you Huang Shilang live easy.

After learning that the people had been mobilized, Zhang Zongxian knew that the matter was 30% certain. After he and his good ministers decided to have an early breakfast tomorrow and set off at the fifth watch, Zhang Zongxian also relaxed a little, but still couldn't sleep. In his previous life, he would only fight at most. This is really the first time I have fought in a group fight. I think that Swordsman has no eyes and wants to let the good minister lead the team. But thinking that I will face bigger battles in the future and have to adapt to the cruelty of war, I can only comfort myself that I am a Time traveler, how could a time traveler die?

The troops stayed up until the middle of the night and began to assemble for dinner. After eating, they gathered at the school ground to wait for Zhang Zongxian to take the oath of office. Zhang Zongxian did not wear armor but still wore official uniform and walked to the stage to speak to the assembled soldiers:

"Raising troops for a thousand days and using them for a while, Huang Shilang actually gathered troops to rob the people of their land. As a parent official of this county, I, Zhang Zongxian, will never tolerate such a madman oppressing the people. Our food, clothing, and military pay all come from the people's support. How can we sit back and watch when the people are in trouble now?" , The purpose of gathering troops today is to kill Huang Shilang and save the people from the fire and water."

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 morale had been mobilized, he added fuel to the fire.

"In future battles, killing and capturing enemy troops will be recorded in squad units. Each person who kills the enemy will be rewarded with three taels, and each person who is captured will be rewarded with five taels. The rewards will be shared equally among the whole class. Those who attack the city first and step on the enemy wall will be rewarded with ten taels of silver. Those who kill Huang Shilang will be rewarded with ten taels of silver. Reward fifty taels."

After hearing the rewards, the morale was even higher.

Zhang Zongxian then announced eighteen military rules that must be killed on the battlefield:

1. Anyone who advances or retreats without waiting for orders or does not return to the team after the battle will be beheaded;

2. Anyone who flinches and whispers to each other before battle will be beheaded;

3. Anyone who makes untrue reports before the battle, or who cheats on his merits and pretends to be rewarded will be beheaded;

4. Anyone who flees from an encounter or feigns illness before battle will be beheaded;

5. If the guarding of the card is not strict, the enemy can sneak past or delay in reporting, and those who scare themselves away first will be beheaded;

6. Those who are negligent in their orders before marching to the formation and miss the opportunity will be beheaded;

7. If the leader of the commander's formation dies, the subordinate officers fail to provide adequate support and there are no casualties. If the leader dies in the battle and there are no casualties among the soldiers in this tent, all of them will be beheaded to death;

8. Those who cause trouble during the battle will be beheaded;

9. Those who lose their ordnance in the procession and those who abandon their ordnance without being injured before the battle shall be beheaded;

10. Anyone who leaks secret orders, intends to increase or decrease edicts, or eavesdrop on secret discussions will be beheaded;

11. Anyone who disturbs residents, robs property, or commits adultery with women shall be beheaded;

12. Anyone who forms an alliance and establishes a meeting and makes words to confuse the public shall be beheaded;

13. Anyone who screams in the night and rushes into chaos will be beheaded;

14. Those who fight with weapons or gather to make noise will be beheaded;

15. Those who intentionally disobey military orders and insult their own superiors will be beheaded;

16. Anyone who steals out at night or wanders away from the camp will be beheaded;

17. If an official intends to send troops to disturb the people, he will be killed;

18. Those who deduct military pay will be executed;

This time, Zhang Zongxian personally led the people to enforce the law. Originally, Zhang Zongxian envisaged that when the army went on an expedition, he would also arrange sacrifices to the sages and consecrations on the road, etc., but now that the power was urgent, he stopped doing it.

After swearing the oath, Boren led the cavalry and set off first to look for opportunities to exploit the fortress. Zhang Zongxian and his good ministers followed later.

When they arrived at the city gate, they saw many young and strong men gathered in front of the gate. There seemed to be hundreds of them. Zhang Zongxian went to ride his horse and saw Old Man Liu and Foreman Wang standing in front of the gate. When they saw Zhang Zongxian, they all came over.

He saluted and said:

"The county magistrate is fighting against the yellow thief for the people. How can we just sit back and watch? All the descendants of the family have been brought here."

"Yes, the county magistrate and we are willing to help the county magistrate to fight against the thieves."

"The county magistrate reduced our taxes after he took office. Now the county magistrate wants to fight against the thieves, why shouldn't we not help him?"

Zhang Zongxian was very moved when he saw these common people who brought their own weapons to help them. Some things he had done were not in vain. Zhang Zongxian shouted to the common people present:

"Fellow folks, I would like to thank you all in advance. It is the responsibility of the parents and officials to protect the people under their rule. How can we let the people go into battle to kill the enemy?"

"County Lord, we are not afraid of death. Since the County Lord came to Qingjian County, ordinary people like us have hope for life. Today, the County Lord is fighting against thieves, and we must help the County Lord."

No matter how much Zhang Zongxian persuaded everyone to follow, seeing that a lot of time was wasted, Zhang Zongxian had no choice but to lead everyone out of the city to Lechang Fort.

Along the way, people continued to join the team, making the team longer and longer. When passing through the village, people from the whole village joined with farm tools. Zhang Zongxian sent Yu Nong to find out what was going on?

Soon Yunong came back and reported that "the people of the county know that the county is going to fight against the thieves, and they are willing to follow the county. People from the vicinity of the county are rushing over, and people from the villages far away are also rushing over."

Such simple people, but the princes in the court regarded them as praying mantises who refused to starve to death at home and were struggling to block the carriage.

Now that the people have come to help Zhang Zongxian with such great momentum, Huang Shilang must not be willing to believe Zhang Zongxian easily. There is no way to get the fort gate by fraud. I only hope that Huang Shilang will understand the situation and not try to fool him.

When Zhang Zongxian led his people to the Lechang Fort, there was already a sea of ​​people there. The people held farm tools and weapons and surrounded the Lechang Fort. When they saw the county magistrate leading his troops, they cheered even more. They all shouted "Master Qingtian"

”.

After Zhang Zongxian asked Boren to lead the cavalry around the fort, he led the troops of good ministers directly to a hundred meters outside the fort gate and stopped. Looking at the arrows stuck on the ground not far away and the bright red blood stains, he understood that there were already people there.

He was injured, and then he looked at the fort wall with heads moving around, bows, arrows, spears and rolling stones. And Huang Shilang was looking at the fort wall.

Zhang Zongxian shouted loudly to Huang Shilang on the wall: "Huang Shilang, if you try to capture me now, I will spare your life. If you resist, I will cut you into pieces."

"The county honorary, Huang Shilang, has no enmity with you. I have done all the courtesy and filial piety after you took office. Why do you have to kill them all?"

"You, Huang Shilang, a fellow countryman, bully men and women, and the lawsuit against you in the yamen is higher than yours. You have no enmity with me, but you have enmity with the people of Qingjian County. As a child of a parent and an official, you are being bullied. Can I just ignore it? If you catch me quickly, you can save your life. Otherwise, the anger of the people will burn you to death."

"If the county minister retreats today, I will offer ten thousand taels of gold to the county minister in the future."

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

"Your Majesty, you accepted five hundred taels of gold from me."

Zhang Zongxian felt very unhappy when he heard what he said. You will die today. He then whispered to the good ministers to get the troops ready, and when he waved his hand, everyone shot at Huang Shilang.

"You should stop slandering me. The people on the wall heard that today only the bandit leader Huang Shilang will be punished. The others will open the door and surrender quickly. I can forget the blame. Otherwise, I will be severely punished."

After saying that, the people on the wall began to waver. Huang Shilang saw that the situation was unstable and immediately shouted

"Don't listen to the dog officer. As long as you all guard the fort together, come up and kill each one. If you kill each one, you will be rewarded with five taels of silver. I will send a message to my brothers on the grassland, and they will come to rescue me soon."

Seeing that he was still resisting, Zhang Zongxian directly waved his hand and ordered to shoot. The people who had already loaded their ammunition raised their hands and shot at Huang Shilang. The sound of a gun being ejected was heard, accompanied by the smoke of unburned gunpowder.

After the smoke cleared, there was no one on the wall. Zhang Zongxian immediately ordered a suicide squad to blow up the fort gate. No one came out until the suicide squad reached the lower wall of the fort gate. With a loud bang, Zhang Zongxian's official hat was removed. It blew away. However, the good minister rushed into the fort at the head of the gun, regardless of the smoke that had not dispersed.

It took Zhang Zongxian a while to react. The people besieging the city had just been shocked by the explosives. When the smoke cleared, they saw that the fort gate had exploded and they rushed in.

Zhang Zongxian walked quickly to the fort gate, blocked the door with his body, and shouted to the people.

"Huang Shilang has executed him. The people whose fields were occupied by Huang Shilang will be returned to them after verification. All the interest will be waived. This Lechang Fort is too small to accommodate so many people. It will inevitably cause a stampede. Dear fellow villagers, please be patient." I will bring Huang Shilang’s head here.”

The people began to cheer "Master Qingtian" continuously.

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

Passing through the fort gate is the central street in the fort. Go to the right and you will find the school grounds. Go to the left and you will find the passage to the fort wall. Now the fort wall is full of soldiers. Liangchen has led people to attack Huang Shilang's compound. .

Zhang Zongxian walked up to the fort wall and looked at the weapons and rolling stones on the ground. He was glad that he was facing a mob. Otherwise, how many people would have died to capture the fort without cannons. Standing on the wall, he looked at the people who were still cheering. The people, Zhang Zongxian, were filled with emotion. The county magistrate who broke his family had broken other people's families after all, and was just a powerful family that oppressed the people.

After admiring his masterpiece for a while, Zhang Zongxian took Li Jiasan and walked towards the castle. Along the way, the doors were closed and there were discarded weapons everywhere. There were only a few intersections where there were corpses beaten to pieces by firecrackers. Most of them were beaten by firecrackers. Soldiers tied up prisoners.

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