When Yao Ping and Li Jun rushed to the east gate of Linjian City, he saw some reinforcements from Han Gao. It was clear that these reinforcements had been timid in the face of the large mob in the city, and they had not only stopped near the east gate, but were also beginning to show signs of rout.

Yao Ping hurried over, he grabbed a Han Gao soldier who was trying to escape backwards, and asked him loudly, "What about Yoo Eun-jae?" ”

The soldier looked at Yao Ping in horror and shook his head.

"Where is your county lieutenant?" Yao Ping asked again.

"In. . . At... In the city.." The soldier looked at the knife Yao Ping held in his other hand in horror, and then said tremblingly, "My lord.. Spare your life, the little people have parents, down..."

Yao Ping didn't wait for the soldier to finish speaking, then loosened his collar and let him go.

"Lieutenant Zhan, the mob is rampant, and now even Han Hao's reinforcements are starting to flee." Yao Ping turned around and looked at Zhan Ye who came and said.

"I really didn't expect these mobs to be so combative." Zhan Ye looked inside the city gate and said, "In the past few days since you left, more displaced people from the eastern coastal areas have joined this group. I had neglected this to the point of estimating the number of days I would hold the city....."

"Needless to say, I understand. Right now, Han Hao's reinforcements are about to disperse, but I haven't seen Yoo Eun-jae yet, so I have to hurry into the city to find him. Yao Ping said and hurried to the city, and Li Jun followed closely behind him.

Seeing Yao Ping turn around and leave, Zhan Ye was stunned for a moment, and then he immediately called out to Yao Ping and said, "Yao Ping Yishi, are you going to go into the city like this?" Don't you want to die?! ”

Yao Ping looked back at Zhanye, and then said, "I'm going to die, and Liu Enzai also has to die." Yoo Eun-jae: He must be looking for me and my friends in the city right now, and although we have all escaped, he doesn't know it. And I don't think he can find us, and he will definitely not leave the city, so I have to go to the city to find him. ”

Zhan Ye hesitated for a moment, he looked at Li Jun beside Yao Ping, and then at Yao Ping, who hurriedly turned to leave. After a little hesitation, Zhan Ye shouted to Yao Ping again, "Yao Ping, let's go into the city with you." ”

As soon as Zhan Ye's words fell, the soldiers standing behind him persuaded, "Lord County Lieutenant, if we go to the city now, we will definitely die." ”

"If you are afraid, run for your lives." Zhan Ye said suddenly.

"Your Excellency, this is..."

"As the county lieutenant of Linjian, I failed to lead everyone to defend against the attack of a mob, and finally lost the city. I am ashamed of the Son of Heaven and ashamed of the people. Zhanye said, "I'd rather die in the city." ”

"County Lieutenant .." The warriors looked at each other for a moment.

"Let's go, you did your best, I don't blame you." Zhan Ye said.

"County Captain," one of the soldiers said, "County Captain, we're not leaving. ”

"Yes, we won't go, we're going to go into the city with you, my lord." Another warrior said.

"Please give the order of the county governor." More than a dozen fighters turned to Zhanye in unison.

Zhan Ye took a deep breath, then looked at the soldiers and said, "Okay, brothers, I won't let you die." It's just that Yao Ping, a small person, can still go forward for his friends and sacrifice himself into the city. As the guards of the city, shouldn't we go back to the city again and save some people, even if we can save one more people from there? ”

"Obey your orders!" The warriors responded to Zhan Ye one after another.

When Yao Ping rushed under the city gate against some of the fleeing Han Yu soldiers, he saw that there were several places in the city at this time that were on fire and smoking.

"Miss Li, follow me." Yao Ping said worriedly.

Li Jun grabbed the spear shaft in his hand and nodded to Yao Ping. Then, she followed him and ran towards the city.

However, before they could run past the post house in front of the city gate, Yao Ping saw a group of people coming from the chaotic main street. He fixed his eyes and saw that this group of people was none other than the main soldiers of Han Gao's reinforcements. And the one who rushed to the front of this team was their county lieutenant. Their group, led by their county lieutenant, rushed to the east gate of the city.

"Lord County Lieutenant." Yao Ping hurriedly greeted him, and he shouted at the county lieutenant of Han Yuan County and asked, "Lord County Lieutenant, are you preparing to withdraw?" ”

Seeing that the county lieutenant didn't reply, and that Liu Enzai couldn't be found in the team, Yao Ping couldn't help but run close to the fleeing team, and he asked loudly again, "Lord County Lieutenant, can you see my brother?" ”

The county lieutenant of Han Yuan County still didn't pay attention to Yao Ping, he just waved to his soldiers, signaling them to flee quickly. When the infantry team of Han Yuan County passed by Yao Ping, one of the soldiers pushed Yao Ping and said viciously to him, "you!" What do you mean by the inside and the outside?! ”

Before Yao Ping could come to his senses, another group of soldiers fled from the side, and one of them said to him fiercely after knocking Yao Ping to the ground, "You almost killed us!" ”

"Didn't you let us die?! This kind of riot can only be suppressed by the soldiers of the county government! Another soldier said fiercely at Yao Ping as he ran past Yao Ping, who was sitting on the ground.

Li Jun squatted down to help Yao Ping, who fell to the ground, and looked at the soldiers of Han Yuan County who were fleeing one after another, Yao Ping stopped speaking, and he immediately pulled Li Jun to hide behind the haystack in the corner of the wall.

"Brother Ping.. Are you okay? Li Jun asked Yao Ping with concern.

"It's fine." Yao Ping said with some grievances.

"They.."

"Leave them alone." Yao Ping said, "Originally, I wanted to beckon them to retreat. Now that they've started to flee, it's easier to get involved. ”

After speaking, Yao Ping stretched out his head from behind the haystack and looked out, and he saw that these Han Gao soldiers who were fleeing blocked his vision, and Zhan Ye and his soldiers were gone. Just as Yao Ping was trying to find Zhanye again, he suddenly saw the mob driving away Han Yuan's soldiers shouting, which frightened him and hurriedly retracted his body behind the haystack.

After He Lijun hid in the haystack, Yao Ping heard the mob's shouts of killing gradually moving away from the street, and he stuck his head out from behind the haystack again, and he saw that some of the mobs who were bluffing after chasing Han Gao's reinforcements turned to the south of the city under the leadership of their leader. It's just that no matter on the street or at the east gate, there is no trace of Zhanye and his soldiers.

"Let's go, we both have to hurry up and find Yoo Eun-jae." Yao Ping said.

"Hmm." Li Jun responded.

"Miss Li." Seeing that Li Jun was about to get up from behind the haystack, Yao Ping suddenly grabbed her hand again, and he said to her with some hesitation, "Miss Li, you..."

"Huh?" Seeing that Yao Ping hadn't spoken for a long time, Li Jun couldn't help but be a little confused.

Looking at Li Jun's clear eyes that were slightly confused, Yao Ping hesitated for a moment and said, "Miss Li, you came into the city with me regardless of life and death, I think... I, you.. You have to keep up with me. ”

Looking at Yao Ping's tangled appearance, Li Jun pursed his lips and smiled slightly, nodded at him and said, "I will follow you." ”

Led by Yao Ping, Li Jun hid all the way, and they continued to search the city for some distance.

After hiding behind a board car that was turned over on the side of the street with Li Jun, Yao Ping motioned for Li Jun to bow his head and hide his face, while he tentatively stuck his head out from behind the board car. Yao Ping was searching for Yoo Eun-jae in the chaotic streets, but as soon as he stretched out his head and had no time to search, Yoo Eun-jae's figure had already caught his eye.

"Yoo Eun-jae." Yao Ping looked at Liu Enzai in surprise and muttered in a low voice. After Li Jun heard Yao Ping's words, she reflexively looked out quietly, and she found that the reason why Yao Ping saw Liu Enzai at once was not because Liu Enzai was nearby, but because Liu Enzai was standing in the most conspicuous position in the entire county at the moment. And that conspicuous position, which is also the highest point in the entire small county, is the roof of a two-and-a-half-story restaurant.

Yao Ping tried to wave at Yoo Eun-jae after seeing him, but he didn't dare to keep waving because he was afraid that his actions would attract the attention of the nearby mob. However, after Yao Ping carefully tried to wave his hand at Yoo Eun-jae a few times, Yoo Eun-jae was still very keen to spot him. This is not because of how eye-catching Yao Ping's beckoning is, but because standing on the highest place and looking down to search for Yao Ping's traces is exactly the purpose of Yoo Eun-jae.

After Yoo Eun-jae waved back at Yao Ping, he immediately moved along the roof to the side where Yao Ping was.

Yao Ping saw that there were some aggressive anti-army mobs under the eaves who came with Yoo Eun-jae. They shouted and chased after the overly conspicuous Yoo Eun-jae, and they chased him under the eaves and shot arrows at him from time to time.

But apparently these mobs have extremely poor archery skills, and most of the arrows they shoot miss, even if there are occasionally one or two arrows that can happen to hit Yoo Eun-jae's body, they are easily blocked by Yoo Eun-jae's knife due to lack of strength.

Seeing that these aggressive mobs chasing Yoo Eun-jae were also getting closer and closer to him, Yao Ping drew a "shadow cut" to protect Li Jun's body. He clenched the hilt of his knife nervously, stretched out his head to look ahead, and was always ready to meet Yoo Eun-jae.

However, Yoo Eun-jae did not rush straight to Yao Ping, and after waving at Yao Ping, he immediately turned to jump onto the roof on the other side of the street. Yao Ping understood, he beckoned to Liu Enzai towards the east gate, and then immediately led Li Jun to flee back to the east gate.

"Boy! Don't run! Where did you find the girl, but also make the uncles fresh! ”

While running, Yao Ping heard someone shouting not far away. At the same time, he also realized in horror that Li Jun, as a young and beautiful girl, was too eye-catching here. He turned his head to look to the side of the shouting, but saw that seven or eight mobs were rushing at him and Li Jun.

"Run!" Yao Ping held a knife to protect Li Jun's side, and desperately ran towards the east gate.

However, when Yao Ping and Li Jun ran to a short distance from the east gate, they were horrified to find that several mobs with swords had sprung out of the streets and alleys in front of them, and they were also trying to stop Li Jun.

Seeing this, Yao Ping and Li Jun had no choice but to retreat to the wall on the side of the road, looking at these mobs getting closer and closer, Yao Ping clenched the blade in his hand, and he said nervously, "Miss Li, don't be afraid. You listen to me, and when I fight with them in a while, you will hurry up and find an opportunity to run to the east gate, and hurry there to find Yoo Eun-jae to meet. ”

"I.."

Seeing that the mob was getting closer and closer, Yao Ping raised the knife in his hand violently, and without waiting for Li Jun to speak, he decisively attacked the mob who rushed first.

"Yao Ping!" When Li Jun noticed Yao Ping rushing forward, she wanted to reach out and grab him, but she didn't want to be a little slower, and she grabbed it with one hand.

Yao Ping, who was caring for his lover, burst out with all his courage, and without blinking his eyes, he swung his knife and slashed down on the head of the mob. Although the mob raised the Pu knife in his hand to block, due to Yao Ping's swift blow and the sharpness of the "Shadow Cut" blade, the horizontal Pu knife in his hand was cut off by Yao Ping in an instant, along with his arm.

After Yao Ping cut down the first mob who rushed up with the power of "Shadow Cut", Li Jun saw that these mobs did not seem to be deterred by this, but instead shouted and waved their weapons and besieged Yao Ping.

Seeing that Yao Ping was about to stand in a dangerous situation, Li Jun clenched the spear shaft in her hand in a hurry, she hurriedly ran two steps, and then threw the short spear in her hand at a mob that rushed towards Yao Ping.

The short spear came out of his hand, and after it quickly crossed Yao Ping's shoulder, it stabbed into the face of a mob who had swung his weapon at Yao Ping. As the blood splattered, the mob was instantly killed by the short spear.

"Be careful!" Li Jun saw that another mob rushed towards Yao Ping, and she had no weapons in her hand, so she had to remind Yao Ping worriedly.

Yao Ping hurriedly dodged, and after avoiding two mobs who swung their blades at him, he slashed one of them with a backhand. Although Yao Ping wielded his knife indiscriminately according to the advantage of "Shadow Cut", he could not stop the mob from pressing on him step by step. Seeing that the mob wanted to surround him, Yao Ping, who couldn't kill the road, had to reflexively protect Li Jun and retreat to the corner again.

Yao Ping and Li Jun, who were blocked by the mob in the corner of the street, watched the mob approach them step by step, but there was nothing else they could do. While Yao Ping pointed the blade of "Shadow Cut" at the mob, he also fell into a situation with the mob. But just as Yao Ping saw the mob about to rush up and try to chop himself into pulp, he suddenly heard loud shouts from the side of the street.

"Yao Ping! Get down! ”

It's Zhanye's voice.

Yao Ping's heart was suddenly startled, but he quickly reacted, he immediately reached out and pressed Li Jun's shoulder, and hurriedly protected her and crouched on the ground together. While the two of them were crouching, Zhan Ye and the dozen or so soldiers under him scattered the tight strings in their hands together. The volley of arrows came in an instant, instantly knocking down the mob in front of Yao Ping.

Seeing that the mob that had besieged him and Li Jun fell in pain in an instant, Yao Ping quickly pulled Li Jun without hesitation, he pulled her, and hurriedly fled to Zhan Ye and his soldiers.

"Miss Li, saved, let's go." Yao Ping looked back at Li Jun and said as he ran.

Li Jun looked at Yao Ping and nodded with a slight frown.

"Get out of here." After sending out another arrow to cover the two people who were running towards him, Zhan Ye said loudly to them, "Go outside the city gate, as long as we don't go deep into the city, those mobs won't chase after them anymore." ”

"But Yoo Eun-jae, he hasn't come yet." Yao Ping ran to Zhanye's side and hurriedly said to him, "I have already signaled to him to flee to the east gate. But he.."

Without waiting for Yao Ping to finish speaking, Zhan Ye spoke, "I saw him, he just jumped over the roof of the pharmacy. He was heading to the east gate. ”

"But there are a lot of people chasing him..."

"The mob had no intention of stopping him, and they couldn't stop him at all." Zhan Ye said, "Most of the mobs are looking for money and food, you listen to me, let's wait for him outside the city gate." ”

After Yao Ping glanced back, he immediately retreated to the east gate of the city with Zhanye.

On the way out of the city gate, Yao Ping saw that after Han Gao's reinforcements also fled, the mob really had no intention of fighting any more organized battles. Now in their eyes, there is indeed only money and food. Yao Ping saw that some mobs in the distance had even begun to throw away their weapons so that they could free up their hands to move valuable items. There were even some mobs who even fought with each other for looting food and goods.

Just as Zhanye and his soldiers were about to pass through the broken city gate with Yao Ping, Li Jun, and a few other people, Liu Enzai suddenly ran out of an alley and rushed to the vicinity of the city gate. He came to the crowd after slashing a knife at a mob that tried to stop him.

"What about Qu Shun and Chen Dahua?" Liu Eunjae urgently asked Yao Ping, "I didn't see them all the way just now. ”

Yao Ping suddenly realized that Liu Enzai had gone to find Qu Shun and Chen Dahua again just now, and he hurriedly said to him, "Enzai, you don't have to worry about them, they have already fled from the city earlier." ”

"Let's go! If you have anything to say, you will have to hide in the woods west of the city. Zhanye said to Yoo Eun-jae and Yao Ping after shooting an arrow at a mob that had taken the lead in killing here.
