The first emperor of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 324
On this day, a small-scale firefight appeared on the rebel army. The cause of the firefight was the friction between two families who were originally at odds, which eventually led to dozens of people from each side cutting each other. When the situation was brought under control, there had been Seven or eight people were injured.

In fact, this is already a situation of mutual restraint. Although there is no dead person, when the incident was reported to Li Lei, Li Lei, who was sitting on the chair, still scratched the armrest of the chair and couldn't say a word. Come.

Taking this incident as the starting point, large and small frictions and fights broke out frequently afterwards, and then people began to disappear.The leaders, big and small, were exhausted trying to stabilize the situation, and then the suspicion between the leaders was actually escalating.

But in fact, everyone understands who is the black hand and the leader behind pushing things to this point.

Hao Jingcheng, at this time, even the most steadfast member of the rebel army had to realize that this weak-looking scholar had already caused unbearable pain to the rebel army, and the next method of this man was to It's not even close to the end.

A cottage confronts one person, and it ends up in such a field. Thinking about it this way, one can't help but feel chills in the bottom of your heart.

In the next few days, the situation intensified, and some leaders began to try to leave the rebel army, but not many people were able to leave.

In the early morning of this day, the army of the local government army broke through the fog, began to block the cottage, and rushed towards the rebels.To bring the whole situation to an end, it has been less than a month since the rebels sent out their troops in high spirits before the local officials and soldiers rushed to the door.

That night, the entire Shanzhai Island gradually fell into hell in the flames and killings.

When the sun was setting, the commander of the local government and army stood at the forefront of the brigade with his hand on the handle of his knife, watching the rebel flag on the distant cottage fall from the flagpole. The short-lived rise and fall of the Tang rebels.

At the same moment, on the mountain stronghold, or in the foothills on the other side, a leader watched the chaos appear, expand, and eventually become irreversible, and let out a mournful sound.

The entire war process of the local government army attacking the cottage lasted only two days.On the first day, the officers and soldiers launched an offensive with extreme caution. This was because the local officers and soldiers had failed several times before the cottage had reached its current scale.

This time, despite the Battle of Langya Ridge ahead, the commander Zhang Rui still couldn't take it lightly. He blocked the Qinglong Mountain Village at first, and carefully figured out the defenses of several small villages around the village. attack.

The attack on several small cottages in the surrounding area actually encountered a lot of resistance, but to be honest, these resistances were not as strong as the previous few times, and even under the conservative defense of the officers and soldiers, the harassment from the cottage seemed clumsy .

After realizing this, Zhang Rui began to order a formal attack, destroying the strongholds of several small cottages on the outskirts. The offensive against several small cottages came to an end at night, and then, strange things happened.

At the end of the battle, there will always be someone who surrenders, and this time, the first surrenderer brought the head of his companions, and then it seemed that the monsters released because of the nightfall were breeding in people's hearts, and some of the guarding cottage soldiers chose to escape. , while the other part, in this night, began to fight among themselves.

Everything is just like the person who came from the capital said, the head is exchanged for life and rewards. The first few people may bring the heads of their comrades who have died in battle, but later when a small number of people cannot escape and there are not enough corpses Suddenly, they swung their knives at the people around them.On the side of Commander Zhang Rui, a strict order had been issued at this time. If there is a head, you can live, but if you don't have a head, you can only die.

The next day, the attack on the main stronghold of the rebels was launched. The army fought and fought on the mountain road near the stronghold. On this afternoon, the main force of the local government army began to break through the stronghold. When the first position was occupied, do a good job When they were ready to attack, what greeted them was no longer the huge resistance of the cottage, but... the entire gang of gangsters in the cottage collapsed on their own.

According to the comparison of previous combat experience, the attack of the local government army on the cottage this time is like a steel knife cutting into a piece of tofu.No one realizes that the whole process will be so fast that even the collapse of the second half of it is not cut by the steel knife.

For Zhang Rui, he could only gradually piece together the whole story from the mouths of some captured prisoners.

Just a few days before the officers and soldiers attacked, the situation of the entire cottage had already been plunged into suspicion and fear.Things were developing so fast that many people hadn't reacted yet, but the cruel facts had already appeared in front of everyone, and they couldn't help but believe it or not.

Frictions, estrangements, quarrels, and small-scale fights are not the most serious things. The most troublesome and sensitive thing is that when the news of head swaps spread, a small number of people disappeared.Sometimes, the dead body will even be found from the back of a certain person's house. Even the people inside the cottage can't be sure whether the person was killed by the other party or planted by the enemy.

The big bosses tried to suppress the situation, but it was unavoidable to guard each other and collude. The frequency of patrols and the intensity of strict investigations were increased, but this did not help. Some of the smartest people were trying to organize small groups from the beginning , and then people from various factions in different places are also in contact with each other in order to protect themselves. They take care of their families and become extremely sensitive as long as someone prys on them.

For several consecutive nights, there were dead people, conflicts in the dark and conflicts in the open.Although it was a rebel cottage with tens of thousands of people, it was very scary to kill a few dozen people like this.

After accusations and conflicts became apparent, everyone was aware of the coming collapse, and the leaders above could no longer hold back.

The close confidantes will start to test whether the boss above is planning to surrender or run away, and the leader above is also testing the thoughts of the confidants.

During this process, when the officers and soldiers started to attack, the situation of the entire cottage was already like a large mass of hot patients wrapped in their bodies, ready to erupt at any time, but if there is no external force, the whole process may have to continue for a while.

Even when the famine came and ten rooms and nine empty rooms were starved to death, the suspicion and wariness among the hungry refugees had never been oppressed and aroused to such a degree.

Not only did the people in the cottage have never experienced such a situation, even Zhang Rui, who was in the local government army, had never seen such a thing before, which was simply unbelievable.
