When? In times of war! Chapter 670: Eighty-Twenty-Nine Siege
So Sun Xiangzhu is actually not having a good time, this time it is rare to have such a good opportunity, he must grasp it, and he must make a momentum in a short time. Because once the momentum here becomes louder and attracts the attention of the middle and high-level of the sect, he will be able to get more support from the sect.
And the greater the support in the church, the greater the momentum he can stir up!
For him, it's a virtuous circle.
Money and food, this is the most important thing to achieve great things!
The second most important reason is that Su Mansion is good enough.
In terms of the amount of money and grain, a county town must have much more good things than a mere Su Mansion, but the question is, how well is the county town well defended? Datong Town is a border military town, and some important cities are garrisoned by a large number of soldiers, and there are also strong guards from the government in unimportant places, and it is not for a rabble like them to fight down.
And Lingyidu, where Su Mansion is located, is different! Lord Sun Xiang has already found out clearly, since he was attacked by thieves a few days ago, everyone pooled money to renovate the city wall of Lingyidu once, but it was only more than a zhang high, which was too far worse than an ordinary county town, and he could even go up without a ladder if he was athletic.
There are only some village guards in Lingyidu, and they are all recruited and armed by the people themselves, and the number is small and the combat effectiveness is poor.
It's just a big piece of unguarded fat!
With such a big fat in front of you, what are you polite about?
When the members of the White Lotus Sect saw Lingyidu, the people standing on the wall of Lingyidu also saw these menacing guys who were holding swords, and they knew at a glance that they were not good at stubble.
The White Lotus Sect members were coming towards Lingyidu, and whoever looked at them knew that they were definitely not good, not to mention that they still had a banner in their ranks.
On the flag, there is a huge white lotus!
The White Lotus Sect does not have a unified banner, in fact, the banners of the White Lotus Sect in different factions and regions are not the same. Most of the time, when the White Lotus Sect pulled the flag and rebelled, the person who presided over the uprising would make a flag according to his own wishes.
That's what Lord Sun Xiang did. The flag is the way it looks because it has only one requirement - to be conspicuous.
You have to let people know that we are the White Lotus Sect at a glance!
In the territory of the Shanxi political envoy, the White Lotus Sect has a deep foundation, hundreds of years before the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the White Lotus Sect has a lot of incidents, although most of them were quickly suppressed, but one after another, endlessly.
Many old people have heard of the White Lotus Sect, and at this time, it is natural to know that these people are White Lotus Sect disciples.
At this time, Lingyidu had already become a mess.
Lord Sun Xiang came all the way with a large army, and they swaggered all the way, without concealing it at all, as if they were afraid that others would not know that they had rebelled.
On the way to Lingyidu, there were still some merchants traveling, so naturally I saw them, and some of them lived in Lingyidu, so they hurriedly fled back to report the news. It was because before the White Lotus Sect team arrived at Lingyidu, they had already received the letter here.
The decision-making level of Lingyidu is a few large households here, headed by the Su family, and the other families, some of which are mainly engaged in business, and some have large fields and many tenants. The heads of these families are also the elders of Lingyidu, and they are all dealing with local affairs, the government and other idle affairs.
And at this critical juncture, they split into two factions with different opinions. One faction wants to flee, and the other faction wants to defend. The latter was quite confident in the newly built Lingyidu wall and other defensive measures, believing that these thieves were nothing more than a rabble, and as long as they held out for a while, they would naturally be safe when the officers and soldiers came.
I have to say that their idea is not wrong, but they really overestimate themselves and underestimate the people of the White Lotus Sect.
Some of them were clever and fled as soon as they heard the letter, and more of them were waiting for the decision of these big families.
Before they could come to a unified conclusion, the people of the White Lotus Sect arrived. This time, I can't run away if I want to.
On the wall of Lingyidu, the heads of a large household were standing together, looking out.
Su Yimo, the head of the Su family, and Su Shaoyou, the young master, are on the list, in addition, there are six or seven people, all of whom are men, of different ages, some who are not as weak as the crown, and those who are old and have white hair. The common denominator is that they are all dressed quite luxuriously and exquisitely.
As the saying goes, there are thousands of people, and there are thousands of people, and there are no boundaries. Although the White Lotus Sect members were less than a thousand, they were almost a few, and they were still standing apart, so standing on the wall at this time and looking down, they only saw a large area of black pressing, which was also quite shocking and terrifying.
Several of the powerful figures in Lingyidu all had dark faces, but their hearts were up and down for a while.
Su Yimo had a calm face and didn't say a word.
He advocated staying here, and it was precisely because of his claim that the vast majority of Lingyidu people did not evacuate. After all, the Su family is the most powerful family in Lingyidu, and the idea of he, the head of the Su family, can influence the people of Lingyidu.
But now, he regretted it a little.
The most important reason why he insisted on staying was that he was reluctant to make money. The last time the bandits came, they fled in a hurry, only to come back with nothing but a mess. The house was ruined, everything of value was looted, and those who did not flee were killed and women robbed.
The losses can be described as extremely heavy, and seventy percent of the accumulation of several generations has been wiped out.
In the past few days, it has finally recovered a little bit of vitality through the expropriation and tyranny, and if he leaves again today, he is afraid that the Su family will be completely finished. If the Su family suffers another robbery, they will lose most of their wealth again, and at that time, they will be reduced to the same level as the other big families in Lingyidu.
This is absolutely intolerable to Su Yimo.
He can't watch his family decay in his own hands, if that's the case, how can he face his ancestors and ancestors?
He was lucky, hoping that he could hold it or that the officers and soldiers would come to the rescue as soon as possible after receiving the news.
Of course, it is impossible to hold on, and it is even more impossible to wait for the officers and soldiers to come to the rescue. Lingyidu is located in the territory of Bingbei Road in northern Hebei, close to Zhenqiang Fort, and after Hou Jiawei fled, the current garrison of Zhenqiang Fort did nothing and had no responsibility, expecting him to come to the rescue immediately after getting the news, which was a fool's dream.
With his character, after getting the news, he will most likely report it to the report, and then wait for orders from above. But the problem is that his top boss, Liu Ruozai, the Northern Hebei Soldier, is not there at all! Therefore, Su Yimo's abacus is destined to fail. He actually knows it in his heart, but he refuses to admit it, a bit of self-deception, perhaps, this is sacrificing his life and not giving up his money.
