Chapter 20: The Massacre of Civilians

Time always flies, and it's already night.

The Yellow Turban Army was like a hungry wolf that had been hungry for several days, and it was rapidly marching in the direction of Youzhou City.

And Yan Liang, who was in charge of support, Xiahou and them, camped directly to rest.

As the protagonist of this war, Youzhou City is a different scene.

They did not have the slightest fear of the imminent war of war.

They didn't even send out sentry riders to see how far the Yellow Turbans were from them.

Instead, the lights are colorful, just like the New Year.

Gongsun Chan also asked his subordinates to issue a small yellow flag to everyone in the city, so that they would all stand on both sides of the road tomorrow to welcome the Yellow Turban Army.

As soon as this sentence came out, the people in the city stopped doing it.

They know in their hearts what the Yellow Turbans are? They are a bunch of inhuman beasts, devils from hell.

They learned from those who had escaped from the city occupied by the Yellow Turbans that they couldn't even believe that it was human.

In fact, they were ready to fight with the soldiers of the city.

They were also shocked by the battle of Anhua City, where the army and the people worked together to defeat the 100,000-strong army.

So they also plan to live and die with Youzhou City.

Don't look at the fact that there are not many people in their army, but they are a big state, and the people in the whole city are many times more than Anhua City.

But who knows, these ordinary people have the determination to see death as home.

But these officials are thinking about how to save their lives, and they don't care about the lives of ordinary people.

Think about your lord, and then think about that Yuan Shao, there is really no comparison, there is no harm.

So when someone knows that those in power are ready to surrender, someone is not happy.

Directly asked loudly, "Why surrender?" Why not fight? ”

The mood of the masses was also ignited at this moment.

They don't want to see the Yellow Turbans, they don't want to be brutalized.

So the masses gathered together, as the so-called "more people have more power", this scene made those officers and soldiers stunned.

One of the leading generals shouted, "Do you want to rebel?" We welcome the Yellow Turbans into the city to protect your safety. The Lord assures you that the Yellow Turbans will not harm you in the slightest, and that you have nothing to worry about. If we start a war with the Yellow Turbans, we will definitely be defeated, and after the city is broken, you will all die. ”

According to his words, Gongsun Chan asked the people to welcome the Yellow Turban Army, but it was for their good?

Fools can see that Gongsun Chan is for his own life, in his eyes, what is the life of these people?

So some people said that all this was Gongsun Zhan's move to curry favor with the Yellow Turban Army in order to protect himself and choose to sacrifice them.

When everyone heard this, it was the so-called "one stone stirs up a thousand waves". Their emotions became more intense.

The soldiers who were responsible for stopping the people were a little unable to hold on, and the general remembered what Gongsun Chan had told her

"If there is a person who does not have long eyes and does not obey the arrangement, then he is no longer a common man of the Han Dynasty, but a rebel. As for how to do it? You should know it in your heart. ”

This sentence rang in the ears of this general.

Then he said loudly, "All of you, do what the lord says immediately, otherwise you will bear the consequences." ”

But the people didn't listen to him, and the general had no choice but to order, "Riot here to endanger the stability of the Han Dynasty." I will exercise my power to eradicate this scourge. ”

He paused, then said, "Kill all these anti-people." ”

Not only did these words quiet the common people, but also the soldiers, who looked at the general one by one, and they all thought that they had heard it wrong.

Seeing that the soldiers did not react, they roared angrily, "What? Do you want to disobey military orders? ”

After that, some soldiers took up swords and guns and killed unarmed civilians.

An individual fell to the ground, and they probably didn't think that they were not killed by the Yellow Turbans, but by the soldiers of the city who protected them.

The people fled quickly, but the soldiers had no intention of stopping.

At this moment, they suddenly felt that the slaughter of civilians without combat effectiveness turned out to be such a happy thing.

In their eyes, these people are no different from lambs to be slaughtered.

There are even people who think about waiting for the Yellow Turbans to come tomorrow and plan to join them.

The twisted thinking has made them psychologically perverted.

In the end, it was the general who ordered, "Okay, stop." ”

Although these people did not kill very well, they still had to obey the orders from above.

"You'd better not have any moths? When the Yellow Turban Army enters the city tomorrow, you will understand that the Yellow Turban Army is actually not bad, and all this is for your good. ”

When the general had finished speaking, he left with his men.

All that remains is corpses on the ground, and the sound of pain from the death of loved ones.

One of them, a little girl who was only five or six years old, crawled up to a dead woman and kept pushing her body with her hands.

At the same time, he cried out in his mouth, "Mother, wake up!" Mother, don't you want to play with me? Why don't you get up? Mother. ”

The cry of the little girl made those behind her who were weak in their hearts cry even louder.

Finally, someone couldn't bear to see the little girl there alone, so he went up and took her away.

At the same time, they also know in their hearts that tomorrow is the end of all their lives.

This Youzhou City will become a real hell on earth.

They can only wait silently for that moment to come, and nothing else can be done.

As for escaping, Gongsun Chan had already asked people to close the city gates, not to mention people, not even a fly could fly out.

It's just that there is no impermeable wall in the world, and there is a person sent by Yuan Shao standing next to the general.

He was also one of the few soldiers who did not participate in the massacre.

Then he said he had an upset stomach and left alone.

Then he rode on a fast horse and came to the city gate, falsely claiming that there was a letter from Gongsun Chan to the Yellow Turban Army.

And those soldiers knew about the surrender, and they all thought that if they made things clear in advance, there would be no unnecessary trouble.

So after asking for the password, he opened the gate and let him go.

After leaving the city, in order to confuse the public, he first rode two miles in the direction of the Yellow Turban Army.

When the people on the city wall couldn't see others, he turned around and ran in the direction of Yan Liang's army.

Although Yan Liang and the others marched slowly, after all, Youzhou and Jizhou were close to each other.

So they were only fifty miles away from Youzhou.

At this time, Yan Liang and the others had already fallen asleep, leaving only a small number of people in charge of patrolling.

At this moment, the patrol saw the person who came to report the news, and immediately raised their vigilance, thinking that it was someone from the Yellow Turban Army.

After this person revealed his identity, he was taken to see Yan Liang and Xu Shu.

When the two of them knew that Gongsun Zhan planned to surrender directly and slaughter the people in the city, they were immediately angry.

Yan Liang said, "Strategist, do we still have to sit still?" ”

At this time, Xu Shu shook his head slowly and said, "No, we must hurry up and rush to Youzhou before the Yellow Turban Army." ”
