Thinking back to what just happened,
The followers under his command were easily driven back by the soldiers of Liangshan.
Lu Shinang, however, was filled with hesitation.
His followers today
Nearly three hundred have died.
These are not ordinary people.
Instead, they were genuine fanatical followers of the Ming Cult.
Although the Ming Cult had a million followers in Jiangnan,
But such fanatics...
It's only a few thousand.
Most of them,
They are still all in Fang La's hands.
Between hesitation and doubt
Lu Shinang gradually lowered his hand.
......
Inside the Wanghailou Pavilion,
Seeing that the Ming Cult followers were slow to make a move,
Zhao Yuan shook his head in disappointment.
"These people from the Ming Cult are truly spineless,"
"I've already revealed my identity,"
"He still doesn't dare to come and attack."
"Brother, the Ming Cult is so pathetic,"
Ruan Xiaowu laughed,
"How about we launch a preemptive attack?"
"No,"
Zhao Yuan immediately shook his head.
"The Ming Cult followers also possess powerful bows and crossbows,"
"We will take the initiative and attack,"
"The casualties among the soldiers will certainly be considerable."
"I originally just wanted to attract them,"
"Then we can use the Wanghailou (Seaview Tower) to defend and injure the enemy."
"Never mind, since the Ming Cult didn't fall for it,"
"We should go too."
"Leaving now?"
Ruan Xiaowu looked at the Ming Cult followers across the street with a regretful expression.
"I haven't had my fill of fighting yet."
"There will always be opportunities to fight the Ming Cult in the future,"
Zhao Yuan smiled.
He then personally took charge.
A group of Liangshan naval soldiers,
The five warships retreated in an orderly fashion.
"Let's go greet Brother Qi,"
Zhao Yuan greeted him.
"I wonder how things are going on his end!"
Under Zhao Yuan's orders
Five warships hoisted their sails.
Heading towards the north bank of Moon Lake.
......
at the same time,
On Ruan Xiaoqi's side,
After leading five Liangshan warships close to the north bank of Yuehu Lake
He immediately led three hundred naval soldiers in his own army.
They charged towards the nearby Mingzhou County government office!
That Mingzhou county magistrate
But unexpectedly,
Liangshan actually came to cause him trouble.
In Minnesota,
The county magistrate, long accustomed to lording it over everyone,
They were still in the house at the time.
He counted the two chests of gold and silver jewelry that the Ming Cult had given him.
"Haha, nearly fifty thousand strings of cash!"
The county magistrate stared greedily at the jewels in the box.
"The Ming Cult truly lives up to its reputation as the largest sect in Jiangnan."
"They're really rich."
"I need to get to know them better in the future!"
Just as the county magistrate was tallying up his spoils,
A yamen runner rushed in, looking flustered.
"Sir, something terrible has happened!"
"The Liangshan people have landed and are running towards the county government office!"
"What did you say!"
The county magistrate was taken aback.
"Why doesn't Liangshan go looking for trouble with the Ming Cult?"
What brings you to the county government office?
"My lord, please don't forget,"
The constable stole a glance at the chest full of jewels.
"Those Liangshan bandits are just outlaws who rob and plunder!"
"They came to the county government office,"
"They're obviously here for you, sir!"
"Oh no! What... what should we do?"
When the magistrate arrived at this point,
That's when he started to panic.
Although there were also bandit uprisings in Jiangnan,
But compared to the northern lands,
But it's far from that.
The vast green forests of the north.
They've already dared to attack the imperial city!
The green forests of Jiangnan,
Yet they still only dared to rob people in the mountains in the wilderness...
Chapter 1257 The Greedy Corrupt Official
For this county magistrate,
This is the first time I've encountered this.
They dared to attack the county government office and capture the bandits.
"What...what should we do now?"
The county magistrate asked, completely bewildered.
"Sir, quickly gather men to defend the county government office!"
The constable suggested,
"There are still thirty or forty yamen runners in our county government office,"
"Although Liangshan had more than three hundred soldiers,"
"But relying on the county government for defense,"
"We can hold out for a while longer."
"Wait until the government troops in the city react,"
"When we attack from both sides, we will surely defeat Liangshan."
The yamen runner's suggestion was not bad.
However, upon hearing that Liangshan was attacking, the county magistrate...
There were over three hundred people!
How could I possibly calm down!
"Bullshit, what defense!"
The county magistrate cursed loudly,
"How can we defend against the three hundred men of Liangshan with only forty or fifty men?"
"Quickly, quickly prepare the carriage!"
"I need to seek refuge in the government army camp!"
"Sir, if we're going to the main camp, let's go now,"
The constable asked in surprise,
"Why are you even preparing a carriage?!"
"If a carriage isn't prepared, what will happen to all my gold and silver treasures!"
The county magistrate kept urging him on.
"Quick, quick, go find the carriage!"
"Yes!"
The bailiff glanced speechlessly at the county magistrate.
