Chapter 538 Thieves enter the city
"From now on, I am the county magistrate of Hao County!"
Luo Zhi wiped off the jade seal on his hand with a wave of his hand, held the silver seal in his hand, and whispered.
But the original county magistrate had his eyes wide open and could not speak a word.
"As for you..." Luo Zhi looked at the former county magistrate and the head of the Zhou family, his eyes flickered, and powerful spiritual power blasted into their minds, changing their memories.
Then it turned into a blue electric light and disappeared.
The two woke up and looked around blankly. Then, as if they hadn't seen the other person at all, one turned around and went back to sleep behind the county office, while the other walked slowly back to Zhou's house.
It was as if what just happened had never happened at all.
In the blink of an eye, it was early the next morning, and the residents of Hao County had just woken up from their sleep. Zhang Tiejie's men and horses had already arrived outside Hao County.
"Charge! Capture this city and rob them all!"
A group of yellow scarf thieves howled and screamed. Although they had been running all night, they did not feel tired at all. Instead, they felt excited because they were about to plunder a city.
The guarding soldiers were originally tired from a night of patrolling, but at this moment they were trembling all over and exclaimed: "The thief is coming! The yellow turban thief is coming!"
It has to be said that these guys are really too lax. Zhang Tiejui's 1,500-man formation is quite large, but these guys didn't notice it at all before.
Now that Zhang Tiejui has arrived in front of the city, even if he is discovered, it is impossible to organize an effective defense.
The less than ten defensive soldiers remaining at the city gate were unable to stop the torrent of 1,500 people. They only lasted for half a minute before Zhang Tiejiao breached the city gate.
Among them, the strong defense of the city gate blocked Zhang Tieji for twenty-nine seconds.
With a bang, the city gate fell to the ground, and the blood spurted from the guarding soldiers splashed all over the city gate.
“Snatch them all!”
Zhang Tiezu shouted loudly, and rushed into the city with his men first. Looking at the direction, it was the road to Zhou's house.
Most of the Yellow Turban thieves followed Zhang Tieji blindly, but there were also some cunning ones who quietly left the team to rob others.
Their targets are basically wealthy families. Because the common people are too poor, there is no value in robbing them.
However, those wealthy families basically have some powerful people in charge, and some even raise private soldiers, so their strength cannot be underestimated.
Whether they can truly seize wealth does not all depend on their own strength.
Luo Zhi stood high in the sky, monitoring the whole city, and couldn't help but shake his head when he saw this.
"It's useless for these rabble to come. After this battle, we will kill them publicly to appease the people and enhance my reputation."
Immediately, he looked at the people following Zhang Tiejie. Most of the Yellow Turban Army were following Zhang Tiejie.
"Although his strength is still weak, he is a Yellow Turban thief after all. He has fought several battles and is considered a veteran. He is much stronger than these guys and can be my teammate."
The number of soldiers is not large but fine.
During the Three Kingdoms period, there were Gongsun Zan's white-horse followers, Cao Cao's tiger and leopard cavalry, Yuan Shao's soldiers who climbed to the death first, and Gao Shun's trapped camp. All of them were absolutely elite units that defeated more with less.
In this world of strong men, the role of these elite soldiers will be even greater!
The county is not big, so Zhang Tiejie quickly rushed to the door of Zhou's house.
The guards of the Zhou family this time are much more competent than the guards in Hao County. They had discovered Zhang Tiejie heading straight for them long ago, decisively informed the whole family, and then fully activated the defense.
The Zhou family's courtyard wall was thicker than the city wall, and they maintained a hundred private soldiers who stood on top of the courtyard wall to attack the Yellow Turban thieves below.
Zhang Tie's leg brought up the blood evil energy, condensed it on the long knife in his hand, and suddenly slashed down the door of Zhou's house.
However, this time, the door of Zhou's family was made of bronze, with the power of the god-refining master's seal engraved on it. With one blow, nothing happened to the door, but Zhang Tiejiao's long knife was broken open.
"Although the Zhou family is small in number, the wealth they have accumulated over the years is terrifying, and their defenses are formidable. It might not be that easy for Zhang Tiejui to break through!"
Luo Zhi's heart moved, he tapped his finger, and a sky-blue electric light went downwards, covering Zhang Tiejiao's long knife.
Zhang Tieji raised his long knife and struck again.
The bronze gate was directly cut through by him with one knife, and a big hole immediately appeared in the Zhou family's defense.
"rush!"
At the command, more than 700 yellow turban army bees pupated up.
Although the Zhou family's private soldiers were strong, they were small in number and not as ferocious as the Yellow Turban Army who had experienced the battlefield of death, and most of them died in a short time.
Although the private soldiers were raised by the Zhou family since childhood, they are still human beings and have their own fears. Seeing that most of their companions were dead, the remaining twenty or so people did not dare to fight anymore and fled in a hurry.
The yellow turban thieves entered the inner courtyard of the Zhou family and killed everyone on sight. The head of the Zhou family bravely rushed to resist, but was hacked to death by Zhang Tiejui.
Seeing this, the others completely lost their confidence to resist and just ran away, forgetting to take away their own property, leaving behind a lot of gold and silver.
When the yellow turban thieves saw the property, they immediately forgot to kill and went to rob it one after another. This caused most of the Zhou family to escape.
After the quarrel for so long, other families and the county magistrate reacted, gathered their forces, and prepared to fight against the Yellow Turban bandits together.
Those thieves who robbed everywhere in the city, and because they were scattered in various places and had few manpower, were no match for the private soldiers of the various families and the soldiers who defended the city, so they were killed one after another.
Gradually, most of the bandits in the city were eliminated. The remaining half felt something was wrong and hid, and could not be found for a while.
At this moment, people from the Zhou family fled and asked other families for help.
"What? The Zhou family was attacked and the head of the family was killed?"
When the county magistrate and other family members heard this, their eyes suddenly lit up.
For a moment, they thought of the Zhou family's huge property.
The so-called profit leads to blindness. When huge interests are placed in front of them, even a smart person will become temporarily confused. What's more, they are not smart people in the first place, but a group of greedy wolves.
"Alas," the county magistrate sighed: "I thought yesterday, I was discussing the future of the county with the head of the Zhou family, but today... don't worry, my dear nephew, we will definitely kill the thief and avenge him!"
The twelve-year-old third son of the Zhou family had tears on his face. He was very moved when he heard this. He had no idea what these dear uncles and uncles in front of him had in mind.
Under the temptation of huge profits, the county magistrate and other families stopped caring about the remaining bandits in the city and directly gathered their troops and rushed to the Zhou family.
At this time, the Yellow Turban thieves had already plundered most of the Zhou family's property and were leaving the Zhou family. The two sides met directly.
The county magistrate's eyes turned red when he saw the numerous belongings carried by these thieves.
"If these treasures are in my hands, I can leave this hellish place and go back to Luoyang!"
Although others do not have his ambitions, they also know that if they get the Zhou family's property, they will definitely become rich.
