At the order of the lord soldier, the hundred men immediately began to attack. They had initially surrounded the area, but with the command from the commander, the group began to move in separate directions.
One group of people took the huge wooden beam and began to ram it against the main gate of the county magistrate's office. The other group began to climb the stairs and climb over the wall.
At this moment, Luo Lingwei knew that the time to counterattack had come. With an order from her, the archers hiding on the rooftops began to shoot at the soldiers climbing the walls. However, although these people could use their bows to shoot, they had no experience. After a round of rain of arrows, only a few unlucky fellows were killed by the arrows. Most of the people were only slightly injured.
At this moment, these people had already entered the courtyard. However, a trap had been set up around the walls of the courtyard by Xiaoqing. When these people fell in, they immediately fell into the pit. The crater was filled with sharpened wooden sticks and bamboo sticks. When these people entered the crater, they were immediately pierced through. Only the lucky ones were saved by their armor.
It was at this moment that the main gate of the county magistrate court was smashed open. After the pair of men and horses smashed open the gate of the county magistrate court, they triggered the hidden mechanism within. The huge tree on the roof suddenly fell down, and the heads of the commanders smashed their brains out.
The soldier felt quite infuriated when he saw that he had already lost twenty to thirty men before his team had even fought against the enemy.
”Archers!” ”Array formation!” At this time, the soldier didn't care about the troops in the yard, and angrily called for the leader of the archer troop to come closer.
In the blink of an eye, the archers had lined up and were shooting their arrows towards the yard. However, Luo Lingwei and her team were prepared for this. They took down the thick doors of some of the courtyards in the county magistrate court and used them to make a simple shield. When they saw that the enemy had started to line up to shoot arrows, they ordered everyone to prepare their shields.
After a round of arrows rained down, not a single person of Luo Lingwei's group was injured. Instead, those soldiers who had finally made it into the county magistrate's office were turned into hedgehogs by the rain of arrows shot down by their families.
After the other side finished raining arrows, Luo Lingwei and the rest also returned fire. Although the arrows were not as fierce as the other arrows, they were still effective. In the time it took for an incense stick to burn, more than half of these hundred people had been killed.
The soldier looked flustered and exasperated. He turned to his assistant and asked angrily, ”Where are the big families? Didn't they say that they had reorganized their troops to help? How come he still hadn't seen anyone! You go and tell them that if they don't come today, they will be next after this general finishes taking care of these bandits! ”
The assistant received the orders and left. Not long after, he heard a clamor and soon, another twenty or thirty people arrived. They were led by the servants who were fighting with the head of the city.
When everyone had assembled, the main troop did not waste any time on idle chatter. Instead, they led the charge directly, with their own soldiers following closely behind them as they made their way into the county magistrate's office.
Some of them wanted to escape, but they were all killed cleanly by the chief soldier. Upon seeing this, everyone had no choice but to bite the bullet and move forward.
In an instant, the group of nearly a hundred people arrived at the magistrate court. Fortunately, only through the wall in front of the yamen could one enter the backyard. And this wall could only allow two people to walk side by side. Therefore, these close to a hundred people could only huddle together in this large hall.
While these people were attacking the lobby, Luo Lingwei had arranged for people to secretly move the family members away from the back door.
By the time they reached the wall, Zhao Hu and Head of the Capital had already led a group of men to ambush them.
Before the servants and servants leading the group had time to look at the backyard, they were hacked to death by two troops that had been set up in ambush.
Those who took advantage of the chaos to enter would be killed by archers on the side.
He had thought that even though the magistrate was fully prepared, it would be impossible for him to withstand such a powerful attack. However, not only had the enemy withstood his attack, he had even almost caused his entire team to fall.
