Chapter 1207: A Night of Horror
In the end, the idea of delaying time prevailed, and the 300,000 dinars were packed up and not sent out of the city.
An explosion woke everyone up from their sleep, yes, it was an explosion, not like the previous muffled sound, but a real explosion, along with the explosion and the tremor like a big earthquake.
Everyone was stunned, and they didn't know what was going on, so Abbas ran out of the bedroom barefoot, calling out to the servants, who were all panicking, thinking that the end was coming.
The captain of the guard arrived to protect Abbas, and with the latest news, the southern wall had been blown into white ground, and the rebels could almost easily enter the city along the sloping wasteland bag.
"Send someone to repair it, use a wooden fence to separate the inside and outside, and don't let those stupid rebels take advantage of it. ”
Since the Persian rebels only moved on the city walls and did not send troops to storm in, even the high-ranking leaders of the Great Eclipse, including Abbas, habitually ignored this point.
However, everything was unexpected, a large number of rebels swarmed in, many of the militia were caught off guard, and their lives were lost on the spot, and the small number of large food soldiers who were maintaining order at the scene were not spared, and died at the hands of the Persians at the hands of swords and arrows.
After the rebels entered the city, the first target was the city gate, and seizing the city gate was equivalent to choking the throat of Mulu City. Here, Da * Rui put up a stubborn resistance.
All of a sudden, although the momentum of the Persians was strong, it was not easy to take the city gates.
The number of Persians who poured into the city continued to increase, rushing along the main street towards the central square, where not only the governor's palace but also most of the city's magnates lived.
Da * Rui was usually assigned to guard against the strong attack of the rebels at various gates, but it was not defended in the city, so the Persians were like no man's land, and they did not encounter any obstacles along the way. Even if there were scattered large cannibals and militiamen, seeing that the Persian army that had invaded the city was so powerful, they fled without a trace in an instant.
Bad news spread to the Governor's Palace, and many of his aides had begun to persuade Abbas to flee Mulu City.
According to common sense, once the besieging army enters the city, the hope of victory for the defenders is almost nil.
Abbas was not willing, and by this time he had regained his composure, put on his clothes and hat, and sat down in a chair studded with precious stones.
"Send someone to drive the Persians out for me, and if I can't get out, I will live and die with the governor's palace!"
The reason why he didn't talk about co-existence and death with Mulu City was because the situation in Mulu City was out of control, and it was almost impossible to keep it as foreseeable, so he could only co-exist and die with the Governor's Palace.
In fact, Abbas did not have the determination to die, and now he can only silently pray to Allah to bless him with a miracle of salvation.
Listening to the shouts of killing outside the governor's palace getting closer and closer, the staff in the palace became more and more uneasy, and some began to secretly escape from the palace. When Abbas found out, he ordered the gate to be locked so that no one was allowed to let go.
The captain of the guard planned to take his men out to support the fighting in the city, but Abbas asked him to stay, because if there was no army in the governor's palace, the staff who had a milk and a mother would probably have tied him up and offered him to the Persians.
Shame, shame!
Abbas suddenly felt the urge to cry, but he had to be tough now, and he must not show the slightest weakness.
The night was as long as ten years for Abbas, until the east turned white and the shouting of the city gradually ceased.
The people in the governor's palace did not know what was going on outside, so they did not dare to go out rashly to check the situation, and soon there was a knock on the door from the outside.
A series of knocks on the door startled the people in the house.
Or Syed calmly asked loudly:
"Who's outside the door?"
"I am Muhammad, the commander of the city patrolling the city......"
"It is Muhammad, and I know his voice......"
Someone heard Muhammad's voice and asked in a loud voice:
"Have the rebels been defeated?"
There was silence for a while, and then Muhammad's voice sounded again.
"The rebels withdrew from the city at dawn, and now the city is safe!"
"This, how is this possible?"
Said loudly questioned the people who were about to open the door, and stopped those who went to open the door. 、
"Let them open the door, Muhammad is the most loyal warrior of the Empire, you have all betrayed the Empire, and he will not either!"
Suddenly Abbas also arrived in the courtyard, and he shut himself up all night, when they saw him come out, and the crowd breathed a sigh of relief.
"Open the door, open the door!"
As one or two people shouted first, and then everyone followed suit.
Said's voice of blocking was quickly drowned out.
The door opened, and it was Muhammad standing outside, and behind him were bloodied soldiers.
At this point, Saeed was convinced that the Persians had indeed withdrawn.
But he was confused again, what were the Persians going to do? Why did they withdraw when they had already attacked? Such a stupid act should not have happened to the young general named Qin Ying.
For Abbas, a miracle happened. He held up the situation and convened the staff and generals to discuss the matter.
At the same time, the Persians sent an ultimatum demanding that they hand over the agreed 300,000 dinars before dark, otherwise the siege would continue after nightfall.
It suddenly dawned on Abbas that the Persians had raided last night for the 300,000 dinars.
For a moment, a burst of bitterness welled up in his mouth, and he regretted his previous decision to delay time.
But regret is regret, and it is impossible to admit in public that it was because of this decision that the critical situation last night was brought about.
"What do you think? to give or not to give?"
This time, there was no longer an overwhelming opinion, some people thought that it should be given, and if it was not given, the Persians would make a comeback. Some people think that they should not give, and if they do, if they break their promises again, they will inevitably end up with the doom of the city being ruined and dying.
Of course, some people immediately retorted, even if they didn't give it, couldn't those rebels break the city again?
The current situation is that 300,000 dinars are given and they are not reconciled. If they don't give it, they are afraid that the Persians will come in again.
"Said, why didn't you say anything today?"
Said spread his hands and sighed:
"I said it a few days ago, and if I say it now, it's ......."
He didn't say the second half of the words, but swallowed it back, even if he gave money now, with the character of the Tang people, I am afraid he would not let go of Mulu City easily.
Before the meeting adjourned, a high degree of unanimity was finally reached in the governor's palace to transport 300,000 dinars out of the city overnight.
