Chapter 260 Civil turmoil

Liu Huai shouted loudly, and the panic at the city gate temporarily stabilized. The soldiers were each in their seats, watching Liu Huai.

The military law was very strict, and Yu Jingyang's soldiers were in the city. He was ordered by him alone. If he could not convince the commander, it would be difficult to let them follow him to defend the city. Liu Huai was about to send someone to find the commander, but the sound of horse hooves was heard, and Yu Jingyang and his party had arrived at the city gate.

Seeing Liu Huai blocking the front with a steel knife in his hand, Yu Jingyang said in a hurry: "General Liu, let me go out of the city, you and I will be fine. Otherwise, there will be only one fight today! The whole city of soldiers and horses is under my control. Can you stop it?"

Liu Huai said: "I am ordered by the commander to take over the defense of this city! After all the troops heard this, the chief supervisor Yu Jingyang wanted to open the city and surrender to the enemy, but he was killed without mercy! If someone follows him, he will kill according to the treason. Those who help me defend the city will be rewarded!"

Yu Jingyang looked at the soldiers on the city tower, some of whom were numb and some looked around. Only five or six of his best friends ran to his own team. There were seven or eight officers and soldiers who took the weapons and stood behind Liu Huai.

Liu Huai saw it and sighed in his heart. This was the norm for the Song army at this time. When the main generals were in chaos, they became a mess. With a few backbone, they could do anything. Today, they were not here, and with Yu Jingyang's order, they followed them to the Khitan.

Slowly pulling out his waist knife, Yu Jingyang said in a deep voice: "General Liu, do you really want to stop me?"

Liu Huai said: "I was ordered to defend the city, how could I let the rebels go out of the city? Today you want to leave the city unless you step over me!"

Yu Jingyang raised his knife high and shouted loudly: "Kill! Those who block me will die!" He lifted the reins of the horse and rushed towards Liu Huai.

How dare you stop a galloping horse? Fortunately, the distance is too close and the horse cannot speed up. Liu Huai's eyes are fast, he jumps and hides on the side, and slashes the horse's butt with his backhand. The horse hurts, and he keeps wandering around on the road.

The military city is not big, and there is no urn city. The place in front of the city gate is not big, the horses cannot run away, and the cavalry's advantages cannot be exerted.

Liu Huai gathered his entourage and the officers and soldiers who followed him together. More than 20 people formed a square formation and killed a group of sixty personal soldiers led by Yu Jingyang. The remaining soldiers guarding the city were about 200, all watching.

In the blink of an eye, six or seven people fell in a pool of blood. Suddenly someone whispered loudly: "Look, the people from Yu Dujian have brought their belongings!"

Only then did everyone notice that some of the bags that fell to the ground dispersed, revealing the gold, silver and jewelry inside. When they saw the property, no one could stop them. The onlookers rushed up in a mess, fighting for the gold, silver and jewelry on the ground.

Liu Huai had more than 20 people, how could he maintain order while fighting with Yu Jingyang? He just led people to stare at Yu Jingyang. As long as he took him today, he would not be able to control anything else.

When Yu Jingyang saw the officers and soldiers who came to grab gold and silver, he was still afraid of him and only robbed the ground. He brought his personal soldiers to form a group and slowly retreated to a slightly open place, preparing to seize the city gate in time.

Several officers and soldiers who snatched gold and silver suddenly shouted: "With money, go out of the city and have fun!"

As he said that, he suddenly ran to the city gate, opened the city gate, and headed out of the city.

Yu Jingyang was overjoyed and said loudly: "God really helps me! The city gate is open, let's go out of the city together!"

Liu Huai raised the steel knife in his hand and said to the person behind him: "No matter what, we must stop Yu Jingyang today! Let them go, and close the city gates and keep them guarding!"

After saying that, he divided a few followers to close the city gate and guarded the gate. He took the rest of the people and rushed towards Yu Jingyang.

Zhou Su brought a hundred cavalry, some of whom fought against Ruan Dutou, who was attacking, while others urgently loaded gunpowder bullets for their cavalry. After the entire army was reloaded, they set up a formation in the yard and shouted: "Let them in, muskets will fight the enemy!"

The soldiers guarding the door followed the order and rushed forward suddenly. Taking advantage of the enemy's surprise, they retreated back to the yard. When the soldiers outside the door saw the enemy suddenly retreat, they were overjoyed and rushed into the door in chaos.

At Zhou Su's order, the front row of cavalry and guns opened fire together, and the rioters rushed in fell one after another. Before the rioters who continued to rush in reacted, the soldiers from the second row stepped forward, followed by another round of guns.

After firing five or six rounds of gunfire, the rioters outside the door reacted and retreated one after another.

Zhou Su said loudly: "The defenders in the city have rebelled. We will attack immediately and go to defend the city! No matter what, the city cannot be lost!"

The one hundred cavalry didn't care about riding horses and left the yard one by one. At a fixed rhythm, guns were fired in the front row and bullets were loaded in the back row, and the rest were lined up behind, guarding the surroundings, and the entire team moved forward.

Ruan Dutou had never seen this kind of fighting style. He was beaten back several times. When he turned around, he saw that Yu Jingyang had already taken his personal soldiers away. He was still determined to stop Zhou Su and others? He brought a few confidants and rushed into the yamen. He made a pack of valuable things and secretly went to the city gate.

After a while of chaos, Zhou Su controlled the situation. Twenty people were assigned to watch the riots and said to the rest: "Commander Liu has not seen any news, and I don't know what difficulties he encountered. Let's go to defend the city! All of them get on their horses and go to the city gate!"

Everyone took their rifles, led the horse out, turned over the horse, and ran towards the city gate.

At this time, the city was already in chaos. Yu Jingyang knew what he knew and didn't know. The Khitans who had brought in or sneaked in secretly made a rebellion. The defending general had fled and there was no order at all. Zhou Su even saw that several people had caught fire. He asked a few people on the way and asked, and there were all things. Some said that the city had been sold to the Khitan by Yu Jingyang, and the Khitans immediately entered the city. Some said that Liu Huai led people to guard the city gate, and some said that Liu Huai had already died in the battle at the city gate and the soldiers had already escaped.

Zhou Su was anxious and did not dare to delay. He led the cavalry all the way through the messy streets and finally arrived at the city gate.

At this time, the city gate was the most chaotic. Many officers and soldiers and people rushed out and fled to the back mountain. When the Tanglong Town Army was built, it was backing the mountain and facing the valley river. At this time, there was no large army in the back mountain.

Zhou Su led the army forward and forced the messy crowd to separate, and finally saw Liu Huai.

Liu Huai sat on the ground, holding a steel knife in his hand, covered in blood, surrounded by seven followers, looking coldly at the people running over him.

Running forward, Zhou Su supported Liu Huai and said, "Commander, who hurts you? What do you think?"

Liu Huai said in a faint voice: "I stopped Yu Jingyang. Seeing that he took people to the city, I am afraid he would jump into the city and run away. The Khitans outside have already consolidated their troops. You can quickly bring people to close the city gate. Remember to defend the city and ignore the rest."

After saying that, he said to the people around him: "I probably can't do it anymore. Zhou Su will take my place, and the whole city's military and civilians will obey his orders. Those who violate the orders will act in military law!"

Zhou Su hurriedly said, "Commander relaxed for the time being, I'll go guard the city! You have a rest here, and the military doctor will come here later."
