Early summer.

It is the time when the sun is shining and the climate is swaying between the refreshing morning and the hot noon.

Si time.

Also known as Yuzhong, it is near noon, and the snake is hidden in the grass at this time. To put it bluntly, it is around 9 am.

Since the light of light this morning, the Bailian army, which had been rushing for more than 30 miles, finally saw the city walls of Tai'an County not far away.

Hu Datong rode on a short and thin Mongolian horse, looking at the low city wall of Tai'an County not far ahead, with a bloodthirsty smile on his face... Finally, he saw the city again!

Since the uprising, Hu Datong, who was originally the "incense master" level in the White Lotus Sect, quickly found huge power. The strength of tens of thousands of White Lotus Sects under his command is also the best among all the incense masters.

The White Lotus Sect has a very long history and was completely broken up due to the failure of several uprisings in the middle, so the White Lotus Sects are different in various places.

But roughly, the regulations of the White Lotus Sect in the world are divided into three-level structures: altar, incense, and inheritance.

The chief master of the White Lotus Sect in various southern provinces is Zheng Yinru. This person is best at preaching and confusing the people. The people in the south have been exploited by salt taxes, sea bans, and other evil politics over the years, and the people are extremely angry. Therefore, the forces in the south can be said to be a response, and those who follow are like clouds!

Since the uprising, several southern provinces have almost been in a mess.

A large number of farmers who lost their land and a large number of fishermen became the main force in the fight against the government.

There are three main halls in various parts of the Central Plains.

All are passed down from generation to generation.

Hu Datong himself belongs to Hebei, one of the thirteen incense sticks under the headquarters of Shandong.

Now that the White Lotus Uprising is in ruins, the world is in ruins. Hu Datong has also taken advantage of the situation and, with his early preparation, has captured the county town from the inside, killed all the big families in the city, and relied on countless sects to instantly pull up the White Lotus army of tens of thousands of people!

At this time, he was fighting directly to the capital, looting and killing near the richest capital to enhance his strength. At the same time, he was also to establish his own reputation.

In recent days, he has won two consecutive games with both internal and external cooperation.

The food, weapons, and money he received were countless! What made Hu Datong even more excited were the beautiful and delicate butler ladies!

Whenever he pressed those delicate young ladies under him and ravaged them freely, Hu Datong felt as if he was in control of the whole world!

So what about the county magistrate? You are watching me play with your wife and daughter?!

Aren’t those vicious constables and yamen runners usually quite arrogant? When the army arrived, they all cut off their hands and feet and abandoned their bodies on the street!

Where did those rich landlords usually regard their sense of superiority as untouchables?

No amount of money can buy your life!

Hu Datong enjoys all this... He likes the pleasure of knocking down those who were previously high from the platform, and ** their wives and daughters in front of them, enjoying their wealth, and then killing them in their despair!

Now, the next target is Tai'an County!

...

"One of the people is full, and it is connected to the sky and the earth!" Zhang Wang stood at the top of the city, looking at the tens of thousands of troops outside the city that were densely spread to the end of his sight, and was also very shocked.

Although, he had seen a spectacular scene in which 100,000 people gathered in a giant stadium during the Olympics.

Although, he has also seen the crowd of people who are desperate during the Spring Festival travel rush...

But the crowd, which was completely evenly arranged and without any hostility, was a completely different feeling from the tens of thousands of White Lotus Cultists with white cloth strips on their arms under the city.

Zhang Wang, who had seen countless countries through TV or the Internet, could see at a glance that the soldiers of the White Lotus Sect had little discipline.

Not to mention that compared with the army in later generations, it is far inferior to Zhang Wang's level during military training in the past!

Tens of thousands of people were spread on the ground, it was a mess!

In dense places, there were dark areas, loose places, and even a group of more than a dozen people would form a group. If it weren't for the white cloth strips on their arms and waists that let people know that they were a whole, ordinary people would really think that this was a group of farmers who didn't know each other and were preparing to go to the ground to farm.

In fact, these White Lotus Cult members are indeed similar to farmers - even the weapons in their hands are mostly farm tools that once farmed!

Hoes, pitchforks, rakes...

More people carry long sticks as thick as tea bowls, while others hold sickles and axes.

"Hurry! Light up the fire! There must be hot water when the thieves attack the city later!!!" Some of the Ming army's general flags and hundreds of households shouted wildly at the top of the city, urging soldiers to prepare for defending the city.

In addition to the rocks that had been piled up behind the battlements, many officers continued to urge the soldiers to carry more stones to the top of the city, for fear that the fight would not be enough in a while.

Bales of arrows that were not cheap were carried onto the city wall, and they used a knife to pick up the tied straw ropes. Archers fought for these arrows one by one.

Time gradually passed by in this chaotic preparation.

When the water in the big pot gradually rose, the Bailian army outside the city also roughly set up a simple camp outside the city.

The food porridge was cooked from the big pots stolen from countless families, and occasionally some of them were stewed with pork. The aroma that floated out caused countless people to drool.

Watching each other from afar, the two Qianhu and Tai'an County Magistrates in the city also ordered the fire to catch a fire.

Both sides soon started eating. One side of the White Lotus Sect caught fire and cooked first, but there were too many people, so the food was slow. The Tai'an County defenders were a little slower, but fortunately there were fewer people, so both sides almost finished the meal. It was hard to tell whether it was breakfast or lunch.

Dong, dong, dong, dong, dong...

The sound of heavy cowhide drums sounded, and several large flagpoles that were more than eight meters high were slowly erected among the white lotus army. There were several square meters of green silk on the top of the flagpole. The huge white lotus flag sewn with white silk fluttered in the wind, full of domineeringness!

Many elites wearing white cotton armor and with a complete set of spears and waist knives in their hands rushed out of the formation, shouting and ordering the ordinary civilians wrapped in the White Lotus army to push the heavy ladder or other siege equipment to force the city walls.

There are three types of engineering equipment of the White Lotus Sect, one with the most common one is the simplest ladder. Almost all are made of a whole slender tree body, and the middle nail provides a simple ladder formed by climbing cross-bowls.

It is worth mentioning that the tops of these ladders are all wrapped in iron sheets, and two iron hooks extend out!

It can be expected that when these ladders are placed on the top of the city, the iron hook at the top will hook tightly on the top of the city. Without the power of the entire heavy ladder, it is impossible to overturn the ladder from the city with thrust.

In addition to this simple ladder, there is also a type of super-large trap with a bracket and wooden wheel below, which feels like a cart, but an oversized trap that extends from above and is fixed by a rope.

This kind of cloud ladder was not first created by the White Lotus Sect, but a cloud ladder that often appeared in wars in China and even countries around the world a thousand years ago.

It feels like a moving staircase. Soldiers can push the ladder at the bottom of the staircase with wooden boards and shield protection, and safely push it not far from the city wall.

Then loosen the rope tied to the back of the ladder, and the above design is to directly knock the thick wooden boards forward and hit the city hard.

It's like adding a stretched platform to a staircase.

In this way, the siege soldiers can quickly rush to the city head by walking the stairs, and have the advantage of being in the height of the city head head.

To a large extent, many disadvantages in siege were reversed.
Chapter completed!
