The rebel army is mostly composed of peasants. What kind of combat effectiveness can we expect from them?

When things are going well, they gather together with great momentum; but when faced with adversity, they inevitably scatter.

If the siege continues for a long time and they fail to capture the city, I am afraid the morale of the rebel army will become unstable.

Once the imperial court learns of the intelligence, assembles a large army, and suppresses it with all its might, this uprising will come to an end.

Murong Bo had been planning for years and finally waited for such a golden opportunity. How could he not seize it?

The right thing to do is to take advantage of this period of chaos, respond to the call of war as soon as possible, and occupy a place!

Thinking of this, Murong Bo made a decision in his heart.

Get up, mount your horse, and prepare to set off.

However, it was at this moment that an inexplicable chill emerged.

"!!!"

Murong Bo's heart skipped a beat, his face changed suddenly, and he felt a chill down his spine!

With years of fighting experience, he didn't have time to think and immediately fell sideways!

A sword sounded, like a streak of lightning appearing suddenly!

The long sword passed through the horse's belly and pierced straight into Murong Bo's chest with unparalleled force.

The power contained in the sword exploded instantly, sweeping around his body and severing his life!

puff!

Murong Bo spat out a mouthful of blood, his bloodshot eyes wide open with disbelief.

His body fell to the ground helplessly, raising a cloud of dust.

Tread~

Mrs. Shi walked out of the forest, came closer, drew her sword, and seeing Murong Bo's face with his eyes open, she looked calm, but couldn't help feeling a little emotional in her heart.

If it were in the past, even if she had strong martial arts skills, she would never be able to be a match for a master like Murong Bo, let alone kill him in an instant!

But now, thanks to the teaching of martial arts by the Lord, her strength has been improved to an unprecedented level, and killing Murong Bo is just a matter of one sword!

Mrs. Shi exerted all her strength, shook off the blood on the sword, and put it back into the scabbard.

He jumped on his horse and flew away.

At the scene, only Murong Bo's gradually cooling body remained.

All the calculations and years of planning were turned to ashes by this sword.

Chapter 377 Public Trial!

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Deafening shouts of killing rang out!

On the high platform, dozens of local officials knelt on the ground, their faces pale and their bodies trembling.

Beneath the platform were hundreds of thousands of people.

At this moment, the numbness and dullness on their faces were gone, and instead, there was burning anger!

Like a gushing flame, it will burn away all injustice!

This is a routine public trial!

Public trial, listing the crimes!

There were clearly several Ming Cult members standing in the crowd, all watching silently. When they saw this scene, they felt their blood boiling and their minds were greatly shocked!

It’s not just because of those being judged on the platform, but also because of the people roaring in anger below the platform!

It should be noted that the main tenet of the Ming Cult is to [punish evil and promote good, and save the world].

If the world is unfair and people are suffering, they will inevitably rebel against the government and the court.

To some extent, it can be described as a religious organization specializing in rebellion, with a wide range of activities and frequent uprisings, both large and small. For more than 08, it has been studying how to incite unrest, how to rally the people, and how to resist the government...

Everyone in the Ming Cult can be said to be quite accomplished.

There is no other reason. The more you experience, the more experienced you will become.

But now, watching this public trial, several members of the Ming Cult suddenly felt that when it came to rebellion...

It seems that they in the Ming Cult are just a little bit short of "hundreds"!

Look at them! That's what professionalism is!

"Brother Zhu, what do you think we should do now? Should we still go to Guangmingding?" A burly and gaunt young man among the group asked the leader beside him.

The man was also a strong man, dressed in cloth, with a dignified appearance, a square face, and bright eyes. He was looking at the scene with a burning gaze. After hearing these words, he came back to his senses a little, but did not answer directly. Instead, he lowered his head and thought.

Actually, they had a clear purpose in leaving Fengyang this time.

In the martial arts world, the news that various factions were discussing the siege of the Ming Cult's Guangmingding was widely spread.

As a member of the Ming Cult, how could I turn a blind eye when I knew that the Ming Cult's headquarters was about to be besieged?

What's more, he, Zhu Chongba, is the leader of the Fengyang branch temple!

Whether for public or private reasons, rushing to Guangmingding to support the headquarters is an obligation!

original......

That's what he planned.

But this time, after witnessing this thrilling public trial, Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked and had other thoughts.

After a moment's thought, he gave up and said, "Let's not go for now. The Jiangnan Uprising is such a big deal. I guess those famous and upright sects have no time to care about our Mingjiao Guangmingding."

He just didn't believe it. Now that Jiangnan was in such a mess, would those famous sects still keep their eyes on Guangmingding?

Aren’t you afraid that once you go out, everything will be gone when you come back to your hometown?

When this was said, everyone felt that it made sense.

Zhu Chongba thought for a moment and said, "Let's observe the rebels' movements and see what happens."

After saying that, he turned his head to the young man who had just spoken and asked, "Brother Xu Da, what do you think?"

Xu Da nodded in agreement.

The others had no objections, so the core members of the Fengyang branch of the Ming Cult, who were originally going to Guangmingding in the Kunlun Mountains, decided to stay here for a while.

As he was speaking, there was a sudden uproar and cheers!

When everyone stopped talking, they all looked over.

It turned out that on the high platform, those local officials had been interrogated one by one. Except for the postmaster and two clerks, who were sentenced to labor reform because of their minor crimes after careful interrogation, the others who were guilty of serious crimes were beheaded on the spot. The blood stained the high platform, causing the people to cheer wildly!

Soon, the three officials who were not beheaded were taken away with terrified and dazed faces. Then, more than a dozen people in brocade robes were brought up. They were obviously local gentry and landlords.

At this time, most of them were trembling and pale, and had to be dragged up to the platform. Some of the timid ones had their eyes rolled back and fainted.

When they saw them, the people in the audience's eyes turned red and they shouted angrily, "Kill, kill, kill!"

Compared with the layers of exploitation by corrupt officials, the local gentry and landlords' wrongdoings and tyranny also angered the people! The resentment has been accumulating for a long time!

They still followed the usual procedure, allowing many people who had been wronged to directly complain and denounce, and then carefully examining and judging their crimes one by one:

All of them are guilty of heinous crimes and are unforgivable. They will be beheaded immediately!

Amidst the noise and bustle, the atmosphere gradually reached a climax!

A hunchbacked old man knelt on the ground, howling and mumbling incoherently, "Heaven has eyes, Heaven has eyes..."

Zhu Yuanzhang was mesmerized as he watched, his emotions fluctuating as the public trial progressed. When he heard the people crying and denouncing the corrupt officials, he felt the same pain and was filled with grief and indignation. He wished he could kill them all and skin them alive and stuff them with straw. When he heard about the various crimes of the gentry and landlords, he became furious and shouted "kill" with the people!

After everything was over, my heart still couldn't calm down for a long time, and my heart was surging!

After a long while, he slowly exhaled.

Looking around at his brothers, he found that they were all blushing and their blood was boiling. Zhu Chongba sighed and said:

"This public trial is really fucking inspiring!"

Everyone gradually came to their senses, agreed greatly, and praised verbally.

After a while, seeing the law enforcement team leave, a small group of about a thousand rebels began to evacuate the people.

Although the people seemed crazy just now, the atmosphere had calmed down at this time. Faced with the soldiers holding swords, they were still very frightened and uneasy. They lowered their heads and followed obediently.

The members of the Ming Cult also left with the crowd.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked closely and found that the rebels were all wearing armor and holding long swords. They looked solemn and stern. However, they did not show any arrogance when facing the people. Instead, they spoke in a calm tone and made arrangements, asking them to follow them to a specific area and line up to receive food.

Tang He, who was standing beside Xu Da, muttered, "Are they going to open the granaries and release the grain? Is that true?"

(ps: Asking for custom orders, full orders, flowers, evaluations, monthly tickets, and comments~)

Chapter 378: Registration!

"I don't know. Let's go and see for ourselves."

Xu Da replied, but his eyes were fixed on the soldiers' light armor and long swords. He examined them for a moment and whispered in amazement, "These are all fine items! Could these be the elite of the rebel army?!"

In those days, armor and soldiers were only available to officials and soldiers of the imperial court.

Most of the Zhenzhou wing troops are poorly equipped, and their configuration is even worse than the one in front of us.

Looking at this rebel army, they move in a solemn manner, have a certain military might of discipline, and have such a strong ability to discipline. I am afraid that the so-called imperial guards of the court are far inferior to them.

Perhaps, only the Northwestern Imperial Army, which has been fighting against enemies on the border for a long time, can compete with it.

Tang He looked envious and said, "He is indeed very impressive!"

Zhu Yuanzhang listened silently to the conversation between his brothers without saying much, but there was inevitably a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Although he was born in a peasant family, he had a lot of experience and was well-informed, so he also had some knowledge.

Generally speaking, it is difficult for a team that has just started a rebellion to form an elite force.

This is especially true for uprisings and riots mainly led by peasants.

In the early stages, the war was mostly based on coercion, and the entire war depended on the accumulation of human lives. Where were the elite troops?

Speaking of elites, they are those who can survive after going through many battles. They are elites.

They are elite soldiers who crawled out from the pile of dead bodies!

But the rebel army has only been rebelling for a short time, how can they have already trained elite troops?

Or was it something that had been cultivated long ago?

Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking about it, a little absent-mindedly, but he did not stop.

Soon, everyone discovered that under the leadership of this small group of rebels, the people were separated in an orderly manner and brought to the suburbs outside the city. At this time, they had been cleared out, with thick smoke rising and a faint aroma of rice wafting in the air.

The crowd began to stir, and many people were glowing green.

Some of them were refugees who had to leave their hometowns and flee from famine due to natural and man-made disasters. They ate whatever they could find along the way, including grass, leaves, and tree roots. They were so hungry that they would not even eat Guanyin soil.

When I saw the food, my stomach suddenly felt like it was burning on fire. How could I control it?

They rushed forward one after another, following the crowd, fearing that it would be too late and their share would be gone.

For a moment, there was chaos.

Fortunately, they were quickly stopped by the rebels. Any troublemakers who wanted to cause chaos were killed on the spot. They finally calmed down, dared not move, and obeyed one by one.

The leader of the rebel army was tall and held a long sword, directing the orderly distribution of food on the scene.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Da looked around and were surprised to find that the general was actually a woman.

Xu Da asked in surprise: "A woman?"

Deng Yu muttered, "How can a woman be made a general?"
