Chapter 32 Demon Domain (2)
According to Yang Heng's suggestion, Lu Yao and others began to move towards Jianchun Gate east of the city.
At this time, Yecheng was gradually falling into frenzy.
After Jisang's Shi Bidders' Army sneaked into the city secretly, under the leadership of Chen * Yuanda, the troops were divided into several groups and attacked important places at the same time. Shi Le himself personally led his soldiers to seize Santai. Because a leader stationed in Tongquetai turned against him, the Tongquetai Fortress, which was difficult to attack, was immediately taken down. The bandit army immediately attacked the other two high platforms through the flying bridge on Tongquetai. The garrison was caught off guard and was defeated. The Santai not only garrisoned the troops, but also a huge warehouse, which stored a large number of weapons, grain and other items. After the large number of weapons and materials stored in Santaichung fell into the hands of the bandits, the bandit army became more wings.
At this time, the Jin army stationed at the Fengyangmen military camp discovered that there was a change in the three platforms. General Qian Sheng immediately rang the alarm bell and ordered the entire army to go out for help. However, due to the lack of military salaries for several months, half of the soldiers in the camp fled, and less than two thousand were still there, and they were still some old and weak soldiers. These two thousand weak soldiers arrived at Jinmingmen and were defeated by the fierce bandit army. Shi Le took advantage of the victory and then took down Fengyangmen and Zhongyangmen.
Ji Sang's troops rushed to the Baizangku in Tongjue Garden. Zuo Si praised it in the famous "Wei Du Fu" sung by the world: "Baizang's treasures are rich and have no dams; they provide relief to the local government and control the world's resources." Baizangku has 174 warehouses that store various wealth and goods, which is a well-known large warehouse in the world. The bandits quickly killed the guards of Baizangku and looted all the treasures accumulated by the past dynasties. Then they successively broke through the arsenal, prison city, stables, etc. The bandits were helped by the rebels, and they also wrapped up several death row prisoners in the prison city, and then obtained weapons and good horses, and their strength quickly expanded. So Ji Sang ordered to go straight to the palace city.
On the way, many thieves were jealous of the wealth of Ye City, so they left the brigade and robbed the residential area south of the city. At this time, the hidden stakes arranged by Chen * Yuanda set fire to several places in the city. Many Jin troops were forced out by the fire, and they had no subordinates to each other, so they had to run around the city, colliding with the bandits, and they were fighting fiercely between the streets and various markets.
The fire spread rapidly, and dozens of scattered fireheads gathered into a sea of fire, as if hungry beasts were unbearable, swallowing up the many gorgeous towers operated by the two dynasties in Yecheng. A large number of people hiding in Lifang were forced to flee in all directions. Leaving the cover of Lifang's walls, these unarmed people were like lambs to be slaughtered. At first, the bandits caught them and plundered their property, but later they became more and more slaughtered. They often chopped over the ground and then searched for fine and soft things on the body. Hundreds of people had obviously knelt down and begged for mercy, but they were still killed by the ranks and never stopped. The crying of men, women, young and old resounded throughout the sky.
Due to the large number of bandits who escaped from the robbery, Ji Sang's troops reduced their troops by more than 40% after arriving at the palace city. This made Ji Sang himself a little worried. The palace walls were high and deep, and even if they used tens of thousands of people to attack, they might not succeed, let alone the current group of horse thieves. However, the process of capturing the palace city was exactly the same as Shi Le's capture of Santai, and the officers stationed in the key pass were the first to rebel, and the situation was immediately deteriorated.
The tall and thin general who led people to capture Lu Yao several hours ago. This man's name is Chang Xi, and he is a general trusted by Sima Teng. He is equipped with 800 elite iron-armored warriors, which is one of the core forces of the General's Mansion of the Cheval and Cavalry. However, as soon as Ji Sang's thief army arrived, he and his trusted subordinates suddenly attacked and cut the pass and locked the lock to welcome the thief army. As soon as the Sima Gate broke, the defense of the several city gates was in vain. Ji Sang wore iron armor and held a six-foot long sword in his hand. He rushed into the city first, breaking three roads in a row, and killing many Jin troops.
At this time, Zhou Liang, Shi Xian, Sima Yu and other high-ranking officials of the shogunate were in the palace city. The near future after the Tingzheng Hall had not changed hands. If they had dealt with it well, they could have stabilized their positions. But these people were really not enough to defeat them. They actually surrounded King Xincai and tried to escape from Guangde Gate in the north of the city. It should be noted that the general was the courage of the soldiers. Once the leader left, the morale of the Jin army was greatly defeated, just like the Bingzhou last year. Ji Sang then broke through the palace city, and his subordinate Li Feng was the former general of the general Zhang Hong, who had a mortal hatred with Sima Teng, so he led the light cavalry to chase him out of the city and killed Sima Teng and his third sons Sima Yu, Sima Jiao, Sima Shao, and Zhou Liang. All the shogunate people below were killed. Julu Prefect Cui Man and others were also killed at the same time.
Ji Sang received a great joy and ordered all his subordinates to shout and promote the news that Sima Teng was dead. This caused almost all the Jin army, which was still resisting, to lose their fighting spirit. Many soldiers abandoned their weapons and fled, and even some soldiers who were originally dissatisfied with the court, joined the ranks of bandits.
Perhaps because Sima Teng's death represented the victory of the battle, the bandits of Ji Sang's troops were completely dispersed at this time and plundered along the streets and alleys. This made the situation in Yecheng further out of control. Yecheng was rich and well-known in the world, with officials, gentry and merchants living in the city. At this moment, these people were treated cruelly by the bandits, not only to waste their family wealth but also to lose their lives. Later, the bandits started their morals and simply slaughtered one by one, plundering property along the way, robbed women and set fires everywhere. The people in the city were innumerable.
In the chaos, only Shi Le's army discipline was strictly neat and almost unconfused. Shi Le repeatedly emphasized to his subordinates that as long as they seized all the seven gates of Yecheng and did whatever they wanted, the entire city could do whatever they wanted, why should they be greedy for small profits in front of them? So they advanced rapidly along the outer wall of Yecheng, headed straight to Guangyang Gate, and then divided the side troops to attack Jianchun Gate.
Lu Yao naturally didn't know that Jianchun Gate had become the last city gate that had not changed hands, and he didn't know that Shi Le had sent out his elite troops to attack this place. At this time, he was alert to lead his subordinates to move forward rapidly between the alleys. Except for the occasional crackling sounds when he stepped into a pool of blood, no one spoke. Walking along the way, countless miserable scenes came into view, which made everyone feel extremely heavy, and Lu Yao's mood became particularly bad.
Whenever they passed the intersection, Ding Yu and Ding Jin brothers would send messages back with different whistles. Everyone either hid or accelerated their pace and passed half of Yecheng without any danger. Ding Miao's subordinates were not only good at fighting, but also experienced scouts, and did play a special role at this time. Of course, it was also due to the straight internal structure of Yecheng, otherwise it would be difficult to even determine the direction this night.
Among the people in this group, Hu Liuniang was not familiar with the military rules and was also a female person. She didn't walk very far, but she failed to listen to Lu Yao's command in time and made mistakes. At this time, she was quickly passing an intersection. Originally, Lu Yao arranged her in the middle of the team and was covered by several soldiers. Unexpectedly, she was frightened by the piles of men and women on the side of the road and fell behind at some point.
It happened that a thief with a naked upper body on the opposite side of the intersection with thick chest hair was throwing a few gold ingots in his hand, and he walked around proudly and collided with Hu Liuniang. The thief's eyes turned green when he saw the beauty, and his eyes turned green. He smiled lewdly and stretched out his big hand like a dustpan to capture: "Little lady, come on, come on, have fun with the uncle."
Hu Liuniang is the leader of the green forest in Taihang Mountains. She is proficient in swordsmanship and has excellent skills. If she had such a rough fool on weekdays, there would be no ten or eight of them that could be enough for her to practice. But at this time, she might be uneasy and she couldn't react at all.
Seeing the bandit approaching, the sound of breaking the wind sounded. A long spear flew towards Hu Liuniang's ear, and rushed into the bandit's chest. The tip of the spear cut off its spine and penetrated deeply into the wall behind it. The bandit struggled a few times, flipped up the dead fish's eyes and hung it on the handle.
A stream of blood donated ejaculated from the window in front of her chest and sprayed Hu Liuniang's face. Hu Liuniang had only time to exclaim, and suddenly felt her arm tight, and she was pulled and staggered for several steps. Finally, she followed the rest of the people again. Lu Yao was pulling her arms. Lu Yao's face turned pale and shouted in a deep voice: "What's the dizziness? Do you think your family's life is long? Or do you want to kill everyone? Follow them carefully, don't mess around like this anymore!"
These words did not leave any affection at all. According to Hu Liuniang's hot temperament, if she was treated like this on weekdays, she would probably have drawn out a short knife and swung it over; but at this moment, she knew the situation was critical, so she actually resisted the anger and gritted her teeth and complained: "Don't worry, I didn't grow up with vegetarian food!"
After about three or five lifangs, they encountered more and more bandits and were hard to avoid them completely. Therefore, several fierce battles occurred along the way. If it were a bandit in a small team, Lu Yao and others would annihilate them with fierce offensives. These bandits might be brave, but at this time most of them were wearing golden pearls and silks, and those who had vented their legs to their weakness on women. After being suddenly attacked by elite troops of Lu Yao, they would not even have a chance to ask for help. And if there were a large number of bandits, Lu Yao and others could only take a detour.
There were also many soldiers who fled Jin army along the way, and everyone chose to ignore them. Instead of letting these weak soldiers slow down, it would be better for them to die.
They even met a group of people who were headless and flies. The people were panicked, and many of them were injured and donated blood all over their bodies. They were obviously survivors who escaped after being looted by thieves in Lifang. When they saw Lu Yao and others running towards them with swords and guns, they mistakenly thought they were also members of the bandits, and they immediately exclaimed. Some people turned around and ran back, while others knelt on the ground with trembling eyes and waiting for death.
A woman staggered past the group. Her eyes were lost, her breasts were exposed, and her breasts were clearly exposed. What was even more terrible was that her left arm was cut off by a sharp blade, and there were torn tendons and blood clots hanging on the section of the broken arm. She held a cut-off baby's head tightly with her right arm, making a burst of heart-wrenching sadness. The woman seemed to be a little crazy. When Ding Miao passed by her, she rushed towards her crookedly, hugged Ding Miao's legs, and laughed wildly, saying, "You kill me! Kill me! Let me and the child die together!"
Ding Miao's face turned pale. He shook his legs repeatedly, but he could not escape from her arms. After struggling, the woman simply lowered her head and bit Ding Miao's calves. The pain made him gasp. With Ding Miao's natural bravery, if he hadn't been able to bear it, how could he not do anything to a woman? In the end, Ding Yu helped and half-forcedly pulled the woman to the side of the road. The group tried their best to break through various entanglements and continued to go east.
