More than a dozen guards on the city wall looked at the man with admiration in their eyes.
Sun Chuanting, a scholar who resigned and returned to his hometown.
But it was this scholar who made the soldiers and civilians of Daizhou remember his name in just a few days. In the words of Guining, the county magistrate, Sun Chuanting was a scholar, but he did not have the elegance of a Confucian scholar, and his gestures revealed the brutality of a frontier madman.
gas.
Yanmen Pass fell, and in the face of the bandits that might swarm in at any time, Daizhou became a mess.
At this time, Sun Chuanting stood up. Under his suggestion, Daizhou Yamen issued several strict orders and killed several people who took the opportunity to cause trouble, and then calmed down the situation in Daizhou.
Immediately afterwards, came the Tianmu Divine Jade incident.
Others may not know what Sun Chuanting did, but Guining knows it clearly.
Sun Chuanting laid many traps on the only way to Qingliang Mountain, and also hid many fire starters. He wanted to create a brutal massacre at the foot of Qingliang Mountain.
Mount Wutai has been the residence of immortals and a holy land of Buddhism since ancient times. Usually, even in times of war, everyone tries to avoid Mount Wutai so as not to disturb the gods and Buddhas. But Sun Chuanting did the opposite.
.....
In the northwest of Qingliang Mountain, more than a dozen rivers crisscross and meander like a chessboard. Among the green fields and water, several groups of people and horses are mixed together, and the atmosphere is very tense.
Zhang Damou, who was all over the sky, was dragging an iron halberd and looking at the person opposite him with a wary expression.
At this time, more than a dozen leaders were roughly divided into two factions. The main ones standing next to Zhang Damou were Zhao Sheng, the lamplighter, Zhang Cunmeng, and Liu Jiusi, the monkey in the sky.
Opposite Gypsophila, stood the Four Heavenly Kings Li Yangchun, Chongtianzhu Landao, Kuangfeng Wangyan, Yingshan Honghua Xiaorong and others.
Man Tianxing and others are Wang Jiayin's cronies, but Li Yangchun and others are Wu Yangui's subordinates.
Although Wang Jiayin and Wu Yangui are working together, in reality they are incompatible with each other, and no one is convinced by the other. Now is the time to fight for the leadership of the rebel army, so naturally they will not watch the Heavenly Mother Divine Jade fall into the hands of the other party.
In order to allow their boss to legitimately become the leader of the rebel army, neither side is willing to give in. They have been facing off for an hour now, but no one has retreated.
Wang Ziyong rushed over in person, but all his efforts were of no use. Except for his cronies, no one else could give orders at all.
Wang Ziyong didn't dare to be too forceful. If he was too tough, these people would think that Wang Ziyong also wanted to steal the Heavenly Mother Jade. Wouldn't that cause trouble for him?
Unable to persuade him, and unable to watch the two sides fight, Wang Ziliang had no choice but to be out of sight and out of mind, and led more than 5,000 men from his headquarters to attack Daizhou City.
Wang Ziyong's idea is quite simple, you rob your Heavenly Mother Divine Jade, and I will lead my people to attack my Daizhou. When the time comes, all the good things robbed will belong to me.
Wang Jiayin and Wu Yangui were secretly competing against each other. Wang Ziyong knew all about this, but he would not help anyone. These days, as long as you have soldiers and horses in your hands, you don't have to care what others think. No matter who is the leader of the rebel army, in the end
It's not unfair to treat me, the king, for his own use.
Wang Ziyong didn't have much idea about the position of the head of the family. If he really took the top spot, it might not be a good thing.
Near noon, Wang Ziyong ordered his subordinate Heisha Shenhaichao to be the vanguard and launched a strong attack on Daizhou. Wang Ziyong was not idle these days at Yanmen Pass and prepared many siege weapons.
In the original plan, Wang Ziyong wanted to attack from three sides and capture Daizhou as soon as possible. But now, Li Yangchun and Zhang Damou led their men to seize the Heavenly Mother Jade, and the siege fell entirely on Wang Ziyong.
Wang Ziyong was well aware of his own situation. He could attack the city from three sides, but he didn't have the strength at all, so he could only attack the east wall.
Dozens of ladders and the overwhelming crowd were like an overwhelming gray tide, threatening to overwhelm Daizhou.
Standing at the top of Daizhou City, looking around, all I could see were people. The shouts and shouts almost shattered my eardrums. It was not yet known how effective the thieves were in fighting, but just looking at these countless men and horses was quite scary.
Guining held on to the battlement. Although he tried his best to stay calm, his trembling legs still betrayed him.
Not every scholar can be like Sun Chuanting, at least Guining is a normal scholar. He has never killed a chicken in Guizhi County since he was a child. Faced with the situation in front of him, he is completely at a loss.
"Attack...attack the city...Brother Sun...what should we do..."
Sun Chuanting got a sword from nowhere, struck it with a pestle on the ground, and said with a cold expression: "Your Excellency, please follow what we have discussed before, don't panic. Try to organize the people in the city and tell them that the traitors are
If the city is destroyed, everyone's family will be destroyed. In addition, all the tung oil, plant ash and other materials prepared earlier are brought up."
"Is this possible? Can we stop it?" Guining's voice trembled and he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
Sun Chuanting said sternly: "We will definitely be able to hold it. The imperial court will not sit back and watch the rebels attack Daizhou. I think the elites of Datong and Xuanfu have already gone south. As long as we hold them back, these traitors are nothing to be afraid of."
"Okay, this county will go down and organize the people right now!"
With the help of his entourage, Guining hurriedly got off the city wall. Guining also thought about escaping, but if he ran away a little, the end would be tragic. Not only would he die, but his whole family would be affected.
When life and death were at stake, Guining no longer cared about the scholar's face and went to the streets in person, shouting to the people and describing the dangers of the bandits breaking into the city.
The people of Daizhou also knew a little bit about the evil deeds of the rogue bandits. They were already afraid. Now that Guining personally mobilized the people, the crowd became excited. In order to defend their homes, many young and strong men began to help defend the city, and the women and children in the city helped to transport the goods.
Rolling wood tung oil and other substances.
In the blink of an eye, the sound of killings in Daizhou City shook the sky, and with that fierce momentum, it seemed that the city would be breached at any time.
On the east city wall, Sun Chuanting waved his long sword and kept shouting.
"A large number of thieves gathered under the city wall, put tung oil...put tung oil...mixed with plant ash...fall down...hurry up..."
"Don't be afraid, hold on to the weapon in your hand!"
Countless young men and guards, under Sun Chuanting's shout, filled the pot with hot tung oil and poured it down with various tools.
Hot barrels of oil mixed with plant ashes were poured on people, sizzling and smoking. Some people were showered on the head, and the whole head seemed to be covered with a layer of gray flesh. Some people reached out to try to peel off the sticky gray stuff.
, but tore off a layer of skin, revealing the scarlet flesh and blood inside.
"Ah...ah..."
In an instant, the bandit soldiers on the ladder fell down like dumplings, and many people covered their faces and howled in pain.
