Not only the rebellious troops of the Holy Sect of Paradise, but also the remnants of the Yuzhou Legion and the local ruffians in the city were also taking advantage of the situation to rob them. As soon as they saw a young woman, regardless of her identity, they rushed forward to carry her.
He sneaked into a dark corner, snatched away all the gold and silver jewelry on his body, pulled off the opponent's underwear with one hand, and then pressed him directly. When the matter was done, he cut off the opponent's head with a knife, and then threw the head away.
Far away, no one can check it.
In the Jingbei Palace, Chu San, the general manager of the palace, had sweat on his forehead and an extremely anxious expression on his face: "How is the situation in the city now? Have you contacted Xin Shuai?"
"General manager, Minghui's army has captured the inner city. Your Majesty and some of the important officials of the imperial court have retreated into the imperial city. There are at least 50,000 soldiers in the imperial city now. I think they should be able to hold it. Zhu Zhao's army has begun to advance.
The city is currently fighting against the East Gate garrison who was ordered to withdraw into the imperial city. However, the commander of Ma Ying's army has limited troops and belongs to three legions. He cannot stop the opponent's attack at all and is retreating steadily." A man in black.
replied.
Chu San said anxiously: "I mean Xin Shuai! Have you contacted Xin Shuai?"
"We have been contacted, and Commander Xin is coming at full speed. However, Commander Xin only has 20,000 cavalry in his hands, and there are 10,000 more near Ruzhou. I'm afraid it won't help the overall situation."
Chu San was walking around in circles with sweat dripping from his eyes. The situation in the city was now in chaos. Although the total strength of the Holy Sect of Paradise was only 250,000, which was similar to the number of defenders in the city, the defenders in the city no longer commanded each other.
In order to fight, there was no way to stop the opponent's attack. Under such circumstances, Emperor Zhongxing did not even think about counterattack. Instead, he ordered all troops to be transferred back to the imperial city to ensure his own safety. The Holy Sect of Paradise was originally
A group of rebels have now added countless allies. At least, the fall of the outer city and the inner city is inevitable. With the style of the Holy Sect of Paradise, after taking the city, there will definitely be a massacre. And on our side, peace
The Holy Sect of Paradise has a different hatred from Dai Tian. Once Cheng Xianqing is established, the first thing he will do is probably to raze the Jingbei Palace.
"How is the situation with Army Commander Huang Jie?" Chu San asked sideways.
A servant stepped forward and replied: "Marquis Jiangbian only has 60,000 soldiers in his hands, which is more than enough to protect himself, but he cannot control the situation in Xicheng at all. General Meng Hong asked someone to tell the supervisor that they were covering the people's withdrawal from Shengjing. If we
If you want to leave, leave now."
Chu San suddenly stopped: "How many combatants can we mobilize now?"
A scribe dressed as a master stood up and said: "Twelve hundred people, this is all our people lurking in the Holy Capital of Tiandu."
"Gather them all together. Everyone in the palace retreats from the north gate. All documents and materials that cannot be taken away are burned. In addition, inform King Xiangrui and others if there is any place where we need help. You, take a hundred people and immediately
Go to Duke Jingnan’s residence, and no matter what means you use, you must take away Duke Jingnan’s three sons and their families.” Chu San gritted his teeth and said. In order to go south to the Yinfeng Mountains in the future, Chu Xiangcheng stayed in the Holy Capital of Tiandu.
It took a lot of energy, but now they all have to be evacuated. The Holy Sect of Paradise has always left corpses everywhere in its path, and this time will definitely be no exception.
Chu San still underestimated the Holy Sect of Paradise. The army in Zhu Zhao's hands was not 250,000, but had been supplemented to 300,000. And everyone underestimated the soldiers of the Yuzhou Legion, although everyone usually knew that they were an army.
The useless troops always like to harass the local area and do evil, but no one thought that they would be able to make a lot of money when the Holy Sect of Paradise invaded the country.
At first, the dispersed Paradise soldiers moved away from the direction of the Paradise Holy Cult's attack in order to escape for their lives. However, after discovering that the other party ignored them and others, they simply had the courage to follow the Paradise Holy Cult and take advantage of the situation. Later, the entire
The soldiers of the Yuzhou Legion all followed the same example. They didn't even take off their military uniforms and immediately became bandits and robbers. The soldiers of the Holy Sect of Paradise still had combat missions, but only a few soldiers quietly slipped out of the team.
, but the people of the Yuzhou Legion had no such concerns at all. They burned, killed and looted, which was worse than the Holy Sect of Paradise. Foreign wars for laymen and civil wars for insiders became their true portrayal.
While Chu San was covering the people from Prince Jingbei's Mansion on their way to the North City, several groups of stragglers from the Yuzhou Army came to harass them. However, under Chu San's forceful counterattack, the opponent had no choice but to retreat. When they were approaching the North Gate, they had no choice but to retreat.
, Chu San realized that the situation was much worse than he imagined.
The Holy Sect of Paradise entered the city from the south gate, marching from south to north. Directly opposite the east gate was Raozhou, Huai River. Although the people were panicked, they were not stupid enough to escape from here. Although the west gate
It was in the direction of Ezhou on Qinchuan Road, but Zhu Zhao also saw this. The 50,000-strong army of Wuyan, who had just recovered from his injuries, was already fighting all the way to the west gate. Huang Jie only had less than 60,000 soldiers in his hands, and they were still stationed scattered.
Coupled with the onslaught of the common people, it was impossible to stop Xiu Wuyan's attack. Now they were continuously retreating towards Beicheng. Behind them, hundreds of thousands of people were rushing towards Beicheng crying for their fathers and mothers.
The panicked person was like a frightened sheep. When he saw someone running towards the north, he followed him without hesitation. Someone in front fell down, and the person behind him did not stop and just stepped on him. This caused
Accidental injuries cannot be counted at all.
"Steward Chu, you are here too. Huh?" Chu San was covering a large number of people before they reached the north gate, but he was startled by the scene in front of him.
There are five gates on each city wall of Tiandu Shengjing. The main gate is six feet wide and the side gate is four feet wide. However, people and merchants usually mainly pass through the side gate. Now that the situation is urgent, naturally all five gates are opened.
However, the five city gates are still too narrow compared with the hundreds of thousands of people fleeing for their lives. In addition, the crowds of people have blocked the city gates. From a distance, the city gates are
It is like a folding fan that is fully unfolded. The city gate is the handle and the people around it are like the fan surface.
Before Chu San came back to his senses, a woman greeted him first. When Chu San looked up, she was a middle-aged and beautiful woman with a particularly charming appearance. Chu San quickly said: "It turns out to be the Lord of Heavenly Palace, Chu San is polite.
.”
The beautiful middle-aged woman in front of her is Tian Fengyu, the master of the Jade Palace in Yaochi. Although she rarely shows up, Chu San is the manager of the palace of King Haotian of Jingbei, the most powerful feudal town in the empire, and he still has a close relationship with her.
The fate of the meeting was unexpected, but Tian Fengyu had memorized Chu San's appearance.
Tianfeng Yu was shocked when she saw the team behind Chu San. She originally thought that Chu San was only bringing servants from the Jingbei Palace, but she never expected that the number was so huge. Among the team behind, only
She personally knew the families of Jingnan Duke Ouyang Jingzhong, Zhongyong Hou Xiangxing, Banbian Hou Huangjie, Anbian Hou Ma Ying, Wu Ningbo Liu Gelong and others, as well as the people from the Jingxi Palace and the Weiyuan Palace who stayed in the Holy Capital of Tiandu.
The old man in the late Sima Danggui Tiezhen's mansion, the emperor's uncle Liu Nanke, Liu Nance, Liu Nannan who had died in the battle, Dingbei Marquis Zhang Mingjing, Donghai Marquis Zhao Mu, Weiyuan Marquis Huahe, Ningjing Marquis Du Kan, Jinghai Marquis
The public congratulates Huairen, Huaiyunhou Meifu and other families.
Tian Fengyu pointed at the team behind him in stunned silence and said, "Butler Chu, what on earth is going on?"
Naturally, Chu San would not tell Tian Fengyu that this was an order issued by Chu Xiangcheng and Luo Xiang a long time ago. As long as an accident occurs in Tiandu Shengjing, the families of these loyal ministers must be brought out of Tiandu Shengjing safely. He
He just opened his mouth and said: "Palace Master, when we came out, we happened to meet them walking north. We were afraid of an accident on the way, and there happened to be many warriors in the palace, so we proposed to leave together. You also know that the main people in our palace are
They are all the residences of the empire’s meritorious nobles, and we are getting more and more together.”
Tian Fengyu nodded understandingly. Although she knew there must be something wrong with this, in any case, Hetao did this out of good intentions and was much better than Emperor Zhongxing. Emperor Zhongxing gathered all the troops he could muster.
He recalled the imperial city and paid no attention to the life and death of the people outside the city. Thinking of this, Tian Fengyu couldn't help but sigh. The empire seemed to be in ruins.
"Palace Master, what's the situation in front?" Chu San asked anxiously. He only had a little more than a thousand troops in his hands, and there were at least two thousand people protecting him behind him. These were the family members of famous ministers and generals in the empire.
, if he couldn't rush out of the city in time and ended up here, not to mention that Chu Xiangcheng couldn't pass the test, even he himself would probably wipe his neck and commit suicide in shame.
"It's very chaotic. The people can't listen to our greetings at all. Everyone just wants to rush out of the city to escape. Junior Sister Ruoyu Hanmei of Yanyu Ninghua Palace, Young Master Chu Lifeng of Mingjian Villa, and Shenzhou
Xiao Du, the deputy leader of the Martial Alliance, is putting things in order." Tian Fengyu said.
Chu San was very surprised: "Yanyu Ninghua Palace and Mingjian Villa did not enter the imperial city?"
"Enter. Most of their disciples are in the imperial city to protect His Majesty's safety. However, Palace Master Ruoyu, Master Chu Shaozhuang and others did not go in in order to cover the retreat of the people."
Chu San pondered for a moment and said: "Master Tian Palace, why don't we leave the matter of sorting out order to our Jingbei Prince's Mansion. The guards in our mansion are all soldiers under the prince's command, so these things must be more or less skilled. You can organize the people as soon as possible.
If we leave the city, the Holy Capital of Tiandu cannot be saved, and staying here will only lead to death."
Tian Fengyu was not a sloppy person. He felt that what Chu San said was reasonable, so he simply let Chu San do it easily. Without saying anything, Chu San summoned all the more than a thousand soldiers under his command. After giving a lecture, he directly intervened.
In the sea of people, the method of the Loop soldiers is also very simple. Two people pull a rope all the way to the city gate. More than a dozen ropes are arranged in parallel, and it is stipulated that all people can only pass through the passages left between the ropes.
Those who jump in line and do not obey the order will be killed without mercy.
At first, the people who were anxious to escape didn't care about these things. They all squeezed forward with all their strength. As a result, the soldiers of the Jingbei Palace were not polite. Whenever they saw such people, they would raise their hands and slash them. They killed nearly all of them in a row.
Thousands of people later, the five-sided city gates of the north gate finally became orderly. However, when they went out, they were stepping on the blood of their own people, which could not help but make the anxious people tremble in their hearts.
"Steward Chu, the vanguard of Ji Le's army has already chased after him. Although Marquis Xiang Bian tried his best, the troops in his hands are limited and they are fighting independently, so they can't stop the opponent's attack at all." After Tian Feng Yu made a tour,
She came back and said anxiously to Chu San. Next to her stood a similarly beautiful middle-aged woman and three men. One of the men, Chu San, actually knew him. He was Chu Lianfeng, the young owner of Mingjian Villa.
, another burly middle-aged man, although Chu San has never been born, it can be guessed that he should be Xiao Du, the deputy leader of the Shenzhou Martial League. However, the half-hundred-year-old man at the end is actually wearing a four-clawed golden dragon cannon. Chu San looked at it.
After a long time, I remembered that this old man was Liu Qingyuan, the King of Zhenjing. Due to the relationship between his precious son Liu Tu, the Jingbei Palace did not have much contact with this respected old man. Chu San originally thought that he should be here now
He took refuge in the imperial city, but he didn't expect him to appear here.
Ruoyu Hanmei wiped the sweat from her forehead and said: "Tiandu Shengjing can't stand still. The imperial army can't stop the attack of the Holy Sect of Paradise at all. In addition, there are also skirmishers from the Yuzhou Legion and rogue refugees who take advantage of the fire and stay.
It's basically a narrow escape. The people are rushing towards the north gate desperately, and the 20,000 soldiers of the Holy Sect of Paradise are chasing after them. I have estimated that there are so many people here at the city gate.
By the time, at least half of us were still out."
Her martial arts had already been practiced to the point where she could withstand the cold and heat, but now she was too anxious, and it was just sweat from the rush.
Chu Lianfeng said fiercely: "Stop them and cover the people's retreat first!" His expression was extremely ferocious. The usually elegant and well-dressed young master of Mingjian Villa also showed superhuman ferocity at this time.
"Master!" A delicate voice with a touch of anxiety came from a distance. Chu San looked up and saw a woman flying over the top of the crowd like a butterfly through flowers, with sweat still shining on her forehead.
There was bright light, and it was obvious that he had run away.
"Lan Xin, what happened? You are so anxious." Tian Fengyu asked in a deep voice.
The person who came was Saint Lan Xin, who was well-known among the top ten heroes in China. Seeing Ruo Yu Hanmei, Xiao Du and others, Saint Lan Xin quickly saluted and then said: "The Holy Sect of Bliss has sent 50,000 saints.
The soldiers, including five thousand cavalry, led by Minghui and Wan Zhong, bypassed the west gate and rushed towards the north gate. It seems that he wanted to drive out all the people in the city."
The faces of Tian Fengyu and others changed, and Ruoyu Hanmei's body even swayed slightly. No one expected that the Holy Sect of Paradise could be so cruel and ruthless.
"The Holy Sect of Paradise has taken over the entire Tiandu Holy Capital. They are not satisfied yet and actually want to kill us all!" Xiao Dou said bitterly.
Ruo Yuhanmei said tentatively: "How about we organize the people to defend on the spot, Marquis Jiangbian's army is coming here, the Holy Sect of Paradise will not dare to stay here for a long time, maybe we can still support King Qin.
The army is coming."
Chu Lianfeng shook his head: "It's difficult. Now these people are anxious to escape and will not stay with us to resist. Besides, the morale of Ji Le's army is now high. His Majesty is hiding in the imperial city and dare not come out. The city
The only one outside that can do anything is the Dragoon Legion. But the Dragoon Legion is good at field combat rather than street fighting, so they won't have much effect if they come." After all, Chu Lianfeng had stayed in the army for a while, and had a close relationship with the army.
Li Xiaomo is a close friend and doesn't know anything about this aspect.
