Chapter 1776: What Happened When the Door Opened?
Song Huaiyi turned back to a soldier-like humane: "You tell the son. . . ΡΡΡ.(vii) (ix) x.S.ΡΠΎΠΌ The update is so fast. β
The soldier stepped forward, bowed down and said, "Childe, the order we received tonight was to attack the city all night, but at the end of the day, the siege stopped, and we were ordered to stay where we were and set up camp outside the city. Originally, the city was quiet after our offensive stopped, but after a while, there was a very noisy sound from inside. β
Pei Yuanxiu's brows frowned slightly.
"The villains thought they were going to attack at night, so they got up very nervously, but after about half an hour, the 'gate' of Cangzhou City suddenly opened!"
Pei Yuanxiu immediately asked: "Before the city 'gate' was opened, did the people guarding the city make any moves?" β
The man thought for a moment and said, "We who are keeping watch in the night see that the people who are guarding the city seem to have withdrawn. β
ββ¦β¦β
Pei Yuanxiu was silent for a moment, and then then asked, "What happened after the 'door' opened?" β
A look of almost horror flashed in the soldier's eyes, and the whole person trembled, and then said: "We, we saw the city 'gate' open, and we really thought that the people in the city were going to attack us at night, so we immediately prepared for battle, but as soon as the city 'gate' opened, we found that all the people who ran out of it were the people in the city. β
Pei Yuanxiu's brows frowned again.
"...... common people?"
"Yes, those people, like evil spirits, saw us with knives and guns in their hands, and they didn't even look at us, and rushed into our camp and turned over the food, and some of them were so hungry that they clung to the raw 'meat' on the ground...... That's, that's some, but our wounded soldiersβ"
Speaking of this, he himself was almost unable to speak, and almost vomited.
As soon as I heard this, it was as if I had been pricked with a needle, and it hurt so much that I paused to breathe.
Of course, I knew that scene too well, I had seen it in Yangzhou, but I didn't expect it to happen again tonight - should I be glad that I didn't witness such a tragic situation again, or should I be bitter that I didn't have the ability to end their suffering early, that kind of sour feeling, even I can't tell the difference.
Song Xuan stood aside and listened attentively, and at this time stepped forward and said, "What about the people guarding the city?" β
The soldier hurriedly said: "Back to the second son, we are worried that this is the 'yin' plot of the people in the city, let those people come out to storm our camp, and then launch a surprise attack, so we have not dared to make any moves, those people have been looting in our camp for a while, they all ran away, we just sent a few teams of men and horses into the city, and we are back to report the situation to you." β
That is, what exactly is going on, it is not clear now.
The 'gate' of Cangzhou City, which is open by the 'hole', is an empty city plan, or an open mouth of blood, waiting to devour the people who come to visit, no one can tell.
Pei Yuanxiu's hand slowly held the token, retracted it into his sleeve, and then stood up with the armrest of the chair, and said, "Since this is the case, it is inevitable to take a look." β
ββ¦β¦β
"Look at Cangzhou City, what's going on."
Song Huaiyi listened to it on the side, and immediately said: "I have already asked people to say goodbye outside, Childe, we can go to the vicinity of the camp first, and wait for the people who hear the news to leave the city, 'figure out' the truth and reality, and then it is not too late to enter Cangzhou City." β
Pei Yuanxiu nodded.
With such a decision, Cui Tai's father and son naturally went down immediately to mobilize their own people, and Pei Yuanxiu was about to go out, but when he passed by me, he stopped and turned his head to look at me: "Why are you here again?" β
I said, "I'm woken up." β
"You should go back to sleep."
ββ¦β¦β
"It's not good for your health!"
ββ¦β¦β
He sighed himself when he saw me standing there stubbornly, motionless, with no intention of being obedient at all.
In fact, at this time, he also understood that even if I said that I was going back to rest, no one believed that I would really be able to sleep.
He thought for a moment, then said, "Then you can go with me." But you have to be careful, when I don't let you 'mess' around, you don't 'mess' around. β
I nodded.

Although it is said that we want to go to see it immediately, but the preparation work cannot be sloppy, and when we really go out of the big 'gate' of the Song family, it is already a moment.
The winter nights are long, and even if it is a moment, the sky is still dark.
But soon, this area was lit up by the torches and lanterns in everyone's hands, and I was helped into a carriage by them, while the others were on horseback, Xie Feng walked around the carriage with a team of people and horses, I leaned against the window, and heard Pei Yuanxiu 'handing' on behalf of him No matter what, he couldn't leave me half a step.
Xie Feng nodded heavily and agreed.
When the Song family reorganized their army, the Cui family's men and horses were all there, Cui Tai's father and son were also riding on tall horses, and the two of them were also in armor, so they were obviously still a little wary.
Then, the group went towards Cangzhou City.
This pavilion is not far from Cangzhou City, but because of the fear of me, the pregnant woman, but also the fear of the front of the right and wrong, so everyone's feet are not fast, along the way and keep stopping, because there is a pioneer officer in front of the back to report, inform us of the situation in front, so it took half an hour.
When we arrived at the barracks, the sky was already shining.
I got out of the carriage and looked up at the city not far away.
In the light of day, this battle-hardened city slowly 'revealed' its tired silhouette, and I could see clearly that the walls were full of scratches from various swords, traces of blood flowing, and even traces of fire, each of which was like a scar on his body, indicating the torment and suffering of these days.
Just looking at the city, I could feel the pain of the people inside.
And the barracks in front of us peeled back the painful and bloody ones in front of us.
Although the camp was well set up and the soldiers were in good order, the whole camp was as if it had been washed away by a flood, and all that was left was a mess, even some tents were torn apart, and a few soldiers with wounds were wailing, sitting in front of a campfire, waiting for the military doctor to heal them.
The soldier who came back to report before said softly: "Those ordinary people rushed in, we have no way to resist, and here it is-"
It seems that no matter how fierce the army is, even if it is armed to the teeth, it is vulnerable in front of the real people.
Pei Yuanxiu rode on a horse, looked at the tragic situation around him, and then said, "What about those people? β
A few other soldiers came forward and replied, "After they made a fuss here, they scattered and ran away, and we didn't have enough people to stop them." β
Pei Yuanxiu slowly retracted his gaze and looked ahead again.
"How's the city going?"
