Chapter 224: Seeking to live
"Can the city be broken?" Shi Tianni said subconsciously as the smoke pillars were rising higher and higher and denser.
"Impossible! The walls of Yidu City are so high that we could not take down 100,000 troops. How could the people from the East Mongolians break the city in one day?" Zhang Rou didn't believe that the people of the East Mongolians could break the city and denied loudly.
Bolu also noticed the strangeness in the city at this time and guessed: "The Eastern Mongols have a kind of fire thunder! In the war with the Great Zhen Kingdom, they used it to open the city wall. But I don't know whether this matter is true or false. If Yidu City is broken, the fire thunder will be counted!"
While they were discussing, a team of spies who went out to investigate rushed over and shouted: "The city is broken! The city is broken! The army of Eastern Mongolia has entered the city!"
"What?" Although I guessed the facts, I still said incredible when I heard them with my own ears: "One day to break the city! One day to break the city!"
Bolu also looked a little ugly! Even in the previous friendly match, both sides performed very well. But in fact, they knew each other that they could not become real allies! Especially after Yidu City won.
"Can we know how they captured the city gate?" Although there were a large number of captive soldiers of 30,000 cavalrymen who could act as cannon fodder, the tall and thick city walls were not so easy to climb up. Therefore, Zhang Rou wanted to know what methods the Eastern Mongols used.
"He-they used a coffin that would make thunder and fire." The spy recalled, and then added: "The coffin would emit light and fire that could kill people, and it was very loud. The thick iron gate was blown open by the coffin."
"The coffin is shining?" Shi Tianni felt even more incredible when she heard this.
But no matter what, the Khan Court could not fall behind. So he immediately ordered another strong attack.
So the soldiers who had just retreated and had not yet rested were urged to rush to the battlefield again. However, compared with the previous war, the counterattacks of the defenders on the city wall were obviously not so fierce. This also made Shi Tianni and others more convinced that the Eastern Mongols in the south had entered the city.
At the same time, Xilinmen.
A large number of carriages and people were crowded near the city gate, and the entire street market was filled with crowds of people. As time went by, more people also joined the ranks of escape. Yang Miaozhen's car frame was also mixed with these people who left the city.
Originally, at the beginning, only some high-ranking officials received news in advance and secretly delivered their families and wealth to Xilinmen, intending to escape from the city when the city gate opened. But their movement was too great, and the people hiding in the house heard their movements.
When they saw carriages heading towards the city gate, the people who were still hiding at home could no longer sit still. At first, there were soldiers maintaining order, but when they saw that the arrogant officials and families in the city were packing up their belongings and running away, the soldiers who maintained order had no intention of waiting to die.
Some people took off their clothes and pretended to be civilians and escaped from the city. Some people were brave enough to be brave, and took the opportunity to make a fortune in order and chaos.
Yang Miaozhen and his convoy were targeted by soldiers who were in trouble more than once, but fortunately, the convoy also brought more than a dozen good guards in the convoy. So when those soldiers met a tough guy, they had to go to other targets.
"Yeah, yah, yah, yah, yah, yah, yah, yah, yah, cried again. Perhaps because she was frightened by the noisy environment around her, she let Yang Miaozhen comfort her, and she didn't stop crying.
Seeing this, Yang Miaozhen couldn't help but urge the coachman to leave the city as soon as possible.
Unfortunately, the entire road out of the city was blocked and the carriage was extremely slow. So the coachman couldn't get up even if he wanted to be fast.
"Take the token of the General Administration Office and go to the city gate to transfer a team of defenders!" Yang Miaozhen lifted the curtain and saw everyone holding their luggage and squeezing forward in big and small bags, and couldn't help but give a hurried order.
After getting the order, a good-skilled servant immediately left the convoy and quickly squeezed into the dense crowd.
The wait was not long, and soon, the people who were blocked in the road ahead were driven away by brute force. Some people were slow and were killed on the spot, which scared more people to avoid it. When the road leading to the city gate was finally opened, a large number of defenders had formed a wall of people, separating a large number of people on both sides of the street.
Yang Miaozhen watched a few soldiers clearing the bodies of the streets, but she didn't have any Bodhisattva heart. When the defenders came to pay their respects, she only asked the coachman to leave the city quickly.
When I arrived at the city gate, a huge cry suddenly came from behind me.
Just listen: "The Mongolian Tartars are here!"
"The Tartars are here!"
"Murdered!"
"The city is slaughtered!"
"Run!"
The team that left the city, which had finally restored order, was suddenly in chaos after being under strong pressure. Everyone didn't care about anything and just gritted their teeth and squeezed towards the city gate.
The defender's face also darkened and immediately said to Yang Miaozhen: "Madam Li, I will close the city gate now and delay for you for a while." After that, regardless of Yang Miaozhen's reaction, he urged the soldiers below to close the city gate quickly.
Seeing that the hope of leaving the city was about to be cut off, the people were crying and screaming. Some people who were approaching each other were risking their heads to seize the weapons from the soldiers. More people rushed towards the city gates that gradually narrowed the gap.
Unfortunately, compared with soldiers with weapons, the power of these people is weak after all. Especially when the commander ordered that any people near the city gate would be killed on the spot, bloody corpses also restored the rationality of those who were eager to leave the city.
"I'm punished by God! You guys from Yidu are now treating us, the hometown elders of Yidu!" An old man was so angry that he scolded loudly when he saw the defenders' cruel and ruthless behavior.
"Shanwoo! You went to our house for dinner a few days ago. Let us go out of the city today!" Someone recognized his acquaintance and started playing the emotional card. Seeing this, others also pleaded with familiar people one by one. This made the soldiers who were unwilling to kill him hesitate.
At this moment, a buzzing roar was heard at the end of the street. The Eastern Mongolian cavalry in chain mail had already appeared at the end of the street.
The people who stayed near the city gate were even more scared! Regardless of whether they would be killed by the defenders, they rushed to the city gate again.
Seeing this, the commander ordered the people approaching again to be killed.
Unfortunately, a soldier suddenly dropped the spear in his hand. Seeing this, the others also threw away their weapons. The commander was furious and was about to chop the soldier who was leading the army. Suddenly, a spear pierced through his stomach.
