"Brothers in Yuhe County, we, the Flying Eagle Association, occupy the county seat just to eliminate those corrupt officials and unscrupulous landlords and rich people, so that all the people can have land, food and clothing. Why do you have to Are you helping the tyrants to do evil?"
"We are all raised by our biological parents. Why should the children of those families be superior to others? No matter how hard we try, we can only be their servants. We, the Flying Eagle Society, want to break this unreasonable system."
"Dear servants and soldiers, do you know who you are protecting? They are all corrupt officials who bully the people, and they are all black-hearted businessmen who bully the market and exploit the people."
"You who are soldiers, you who work in the imperial court, how much military pay and salary do you get every month? Is it enough for you to support your family? Why do you only get so little? You were all corrupted by these dog officials, but you are still like this Is it worth it to be willing to sacrifice your life for them?"
"Brothers, put down your weapons and join the Flying Eagle Society. Our boss is also from a poor family and understands the suffering of the people best. Let's break the Daning framework together."
…
This time, the bandits came outside the city wall of Yuhe County, but they did not attack the city wall. Instead, they organized a group of loud bandits and women to shout loudly at the city wall.
When they first heard these words, the officials, businessmen and soldiers guarding the city didn't pay much attention, but as time passed, many people were moved by these words.
Daning, with a population of tens of millions, was actually bullied by the Northern Barbarians with a population of only a few million. The main reason was because the court was too corrupt and officials were highly corrupt. Most of the domestic assets fell into the hands of a handful of people headed by the six major families. In the hands of others, the people are living a precarious life.
This time, in order to protect Yuhe County, these officials and families took out some property and distributed it to the county soldiers, servants and servants, asking them to work for them. But everyone was well aware of what these people had done before. When they heard the shouts of the bandits below, many county soldiers, officers and servants were a little moved.
"Don't listen to their lies and deceive the people, shoot them with bows and arrows." Seeing that his soldiers were moved by this, the magistrate of Yuhe County became anxious, and he loudly gave orders to his soldiers.
Other officials and wealthy households also began to desperately urge their men to attack the bandits under the city. In desperation, these officers, gendarmes and servants had no choice but to shoot arrows and throw stones at the city. However, the bandits below the city had already been prepared for this trick and quickly ran out of the attack range.
The bandits stood in the distance and continued shouting into the city, which made the officials and wealthy households in the city so anxious that they had to order everyone to cover their ears and not listen to the bandits' "nonsense." But the soldiers under their command, although they looked like they were covering their ears, were listening attentively to the various sounds below.
On this day, the bandits did not launch an attack, but the effect of the verbal attack was very obvious. Many soldiers in the city began to become listless because they felt that the battle was meaningless.
Officials and wealthy households made many cakes to these soldiers who defended the city, promising to give them many rewards after the bandits retreated. However, these soldiers who defended the city had followed these officials and wealthy households for so many years and knew their personalities very well. This kind of promise was simply impossible to realize after the fact.
Night fell. In order to prevent bandits from attacking the city at night, the soldiers guarding the city had no choice but to sleep on the city wall with their clothes on. After a hard day's work, they soon fell asleep.
But there are many people in the city who can't sleep all night, that is, the people living in Yuhe County. They listen to the shouts of the bandits during the day. Over the years, they are the ones who have been exploited the most by officials and wealthy households. The bandits Every word they say speaks to their hearts.
The benefits that the people of Heishan County and Caoping County have received have already reached the ears of the people of Yuhe County, and they are envious of them. They had long expected the bandits from the Flying Eagle Society to come to Yuhe County, but now the martyrs who rescued them were stopped outside the city, leaving them unhurried.
Hearing the shouts of the bandits outside the city, the people couldn't sit still. At night when the officers and soldiers had rested, the people began to take action. In an abandoned earth temple in the city, a lot of people had gathered at this time, and most of the leaders were relatives of the Flying Eagle Society's bandits.
"Folks, the Flying Eagles are just outside the city, but these officials and wealthy people have blocked them out for their own benefit. Can we all come up with a solution?" A one-eyed old man stood in the field, He said to the people present.
This one-eyed old man's surname was Liu. He had been on the battlefield during the war with the Northern Barbarians. His eyes were shot blind by the enemy at that time. This old man surnamed Liu had a high reputation in the county and was respected by many people.
"Master Liu is right. Whoever stops us from dividing the land now is our enemy. We must not let their conspiracy succeed." After hearing Old Man Liu's words, a middle-aged man said immediately. He is a blacksmith in the city. He often makes hoes and sickles for everyone. This man has always been eager for justice and is very popular among the people.
"Yes, we can only live a good life if we find a way to let the heroes of the Flying Eagle Society into the city." At this time, someone said in the crowd.
Next, many people spoke in the crowd, expressing their support for Old Man Liu's statement and working together to help the Flying Eagle Society bandits enter Yuhe County.
In the end, everyone present reached a consensus and jointly recommended Old Man Liu and blacksmith Tao Cheng to be the leaders, and gathered people to find a way to help the bandits of the Flying Eagle Society outside the city enter the city. And this incident spread quietly among the people, and more and more people joined the operation.
And this old man Liu also has another identity. He is the uncle of Gui Sanniang, the leader of the Flying Eagle Society. In recent years, Gui Sanniang has been responsible for arranging the spies of the Flying Eagle Society in various counties, and this old man Liu is one of them.
The fourth watch is the time when people sleep most soundly, and most of the guards on the city wall who have worked hard for a day have already fallen asleep at this time. No one noticed that at a corner of the city wall, there was a figure dressed in black. With the help of a rope, he quietly sneaked along the city wall to the outside of the city.
"Someone has escaped!" When the figure reached the city and ran in the direction of the bandit camp, the patrolling bandits discovered him.
At this time, the soldiers guarding the city had no other choice but to shoot arrows down in a hurry. However, it was difficult to see the figures clearly at night. After shooting randomly at the place where the figures fled, the guards on the city wall had no choice but to give up.
In the bandit camp of the Flying Eagle Society, Chen Gang, who was in charge of leading the troops, could not sleep all night. When he was worrying in the tent, the bandits passing by him came to report that they had caught a spy who came out of Yuhe County. This man claimed to have something urgent to do. Report to the leader of the Flying Eagle Society.
This incident happened very suddenly, but it also aroused Chen Gang's curiosity. He quickly put on his clothes and stood up to see what was going on.
The man caught was about thirty years old and very thin, but he could be seen to be a very capable person. He was dressed as a servant, with a long arrow stuck in his shoulder, and the clothes on his body were stained red with blood. It seemed that he had escaped pursuit and came here.
"The villain Liu Cheng is the cousin of your leader Gui Sanniang. He risked his life to come here at night to report something urgent." When the frail man saw Chen Gang, he ignored the arrow wounds on his body and anxiously called Chen Gang. reported.
Hearing what the man named Liu Cheng said, Chen Gang immediately became happy and immediately asked a medical officer to treat Liu Cheng's injuries. But Chen Gang himself immediately summoned the leaders of the White Tiger Army to discuss a plan to seize the city overnight.
The man named Liu Cheng who came out to report the news was indeed a member of the Flying Eagle Society, and he was also the son of Old Man Liu. Liu Cheng also has another identity. He is a servant of the Wang family, the largest family in Yuhe County. Due to his kinship with Gui Sanniang, Gui Sanniang has already been developed by Gui Sanniang to be the spy of the Wang family in the village.
After Old Man Liu successfully used the people's hatred for officials and wealthy households to organize some people, the next thing he did was to spread the news to the bandit camp of the Flying Eagle Society outside the city.
This is a very troublesome matter, but fortunately, the Flying Eagle Society is currently very popular among the people. There are also many people who want to bandit the Flying Eagle Society among the servants guarding the city, and Liu Cheng is one of them.
The last time the Flying Eagle Society was able to successfully seize the disaster relief food hidden by the Wang family, Liu Cheng played a big role in it. Liu Cheng originally wanted to leave the Wang family and join the Flying Eagle Association directly, but because his identity was very helpful to the village, Gui Sanniang always arranged for her to continue working in the Wang family.
This time there was really a shortage of soldiers guarding the city, so Liu Cheng, as the head of the Wang family, was assigned to the city wall. Old Man Liu handed over the task of delivering news outside the city to his son.
Liu Cheng was guarding the city on the city wall. He was originally a member of the patrol team, so he was very familiar with the patrol rules. He took advantage of the patrol team's patrol break and slipped to the bottom of the city with a rope from a hidden corner. Under the cover of darkness, he rushed to the Eagle Club camp to deliver the news.
When rushing towards the bandit camp, he was shot by an arrow from the city's officers and soldiers, but Liu Cheng knew the importance of the news, so he ignored his injury and staggered all the way, and finally arrived in time to reach the Flying Eagle Bandits. Camp.
Early the next morning, the bandits surrounding the county town no longer just shouted outside the city as they did yesterday, but began to forcibly attack the county town.
In this siege, Chen Gang did not conduct any more tests, but sent out all his men, not even leaving a reserve team. They surrounded Yuhe County and launched fierce attacks on the city wall from all directions.
Seeing the densely packed bandits, the soldiers guarding the city suddenly felt numb. But this situation did not allow them to hesitate. Under the urging of the officials supervising the battle from the rear, all the soldiers had to pick up their swords and try their best to intercept the bandits who were trying to rush to the city.
The battle became very fierce from the beginning. The bandits no longer held back, shouting loudly and rushing towards the city head with all their strength. Although the soldiers on the city wall injured many people with bows, arrows and stones, the bandits seemed not to notice and still rushed up there desperately.
"Hold on and repel this round of their attacks, and I will be rewarded by this county magistrate." Seeing that the situation had become very critical, Yuhe County Magistrate stood at the back and shouted loudly.
Other officials and wealthy households in the county also began to make different forms of promises, asking everyone at the front to work hard to kill the enemy. At this time, these rich people knew that once the city was destroyed, they would have nothing.
Looking at the two sides fighting fiercely on the city wall, and then looking at the bandits who kept falling from the top of the city, Chen Gang's heart was as sharp as a knife. He kept looking in the direction of the east gate of the county seat, feeling extremely anxious.
Last night, Liu Cheng risked his life to bring out the news. The people in the city were preparing to open the east gate to let the bandits in while the two sides were fighting. However, as the battle is currently going on, there is no news from the east gate.
