Chapter 294: Linyi
Chapter 294: Linyi
Linyi is one of the largest cities in Lunan and the first county of Yizhou, where the Jingwang Mansion is located. There were two guards around, and even when Chen Deaf was the most violent, the backbone of the White Lotus Sect besieged Linyi, and there were more than 30,000 chaotic soldiers, and they were desperately beaten down by the defenders.
It's still a peaceful season, and the year is good, and I won't worry about any rebellion or anything like that, so the defenses in the city and under the city are quite lax.
The governor of Yizhou learned that thousands of people had gathered outside the Jingwang Mansion, and in a panic he mobilized the forces that the whole city could mobilize to suppress it, and the guards near the city gate were of course also called over, and now even the civilians on the side of the city gate are pitiful, and they are either encouraged to gather in the palace, or to follow to watch the excitement.
So when a few veterans guarding the city gate were cut down by the people who suddenly rushed over, there was no one in the vicinity who even reported the news, even if the people not far away wanted to get closer, looking at the murderous dozen people at the city gate, who dared to approach, the hoofs and smoke outside the city wall became louder and louder.
Gradually, the people near this city gate finally understood what was going on, the thieves were about to enter the city, and now the sun was about to set, and the rest of the city gates were about to close, and they couldn't run. Finally, someone's nerves couldn't break, and he shouted frantically:
"The bandits are in town! The rebels have entered the city......"
While shouting wildly, he ran towards the city, and the people around him who were still sober were all panicked, Linyi City had been peaceful for more than a hundred years, and no thief army had ever entered the city. They all didn't know how to deal with it, and the only impression was that when Chen Deaf rebelled a few years ago, the soldiers and civilians defending the city were there gritting their teeth and saying:
"If the chaotic people outside enter the city, our Linyi will be washed!"
Burning, killing, plundering, looting property and women, presumably these are all things they have to do, and now they can't make up their minds whether to go back with the door closed or flee with their families as quickly as possible. While the civilians were still hesitating, the cavalry had already rushed through the door in a murderous manner.
Now the outside of the Jingwang Mansion is already in chaos, and more than a dozen horses are surrounded by a circle of Jinyi guards are now holding shields hanging on the saddle to cover left and right, so that the people outside throw in the earth and stones can not raise their heads, but their reaction is also quite orderly, the horsewhip in their hands is whipped when someone approaches, although the weapon is not out of the sheath, but it is also used as a stick.
There are still people gathering towards King Jing's Mansion all over Linyi City, and the soldiers and servants outside are desperately driving away with big sticks and long whips, which makes people feel more and more that the government and Jinyi Wei colluded together, preparing to arrest King Jing, although the front is a beating with a head and a face, but still shouting and scolding while retreating.
Just when the chaos was inexorable, a raging fire suddenly ignited in the north city of Linyi City, and many people in white clothes shouted there:
"Maitreya came to the world, three thousand bliss."
Holding a sharp blade towards the gathering area of the wealthy merchants in the city, the news of the thieves entering the city finally reached the Jingwang Mansion, thousands of people instantly quieted down, and more than a dozen Jinyi guards who were besieged in the middle took this opportunity to urge the horses to rush out of the crowd directly, beat the horses and galloped, and they didn't know where to go.
After the thousands of people crowded in the Jingwang Mansion rushed out after the Jinyi Guard beat the horses, it was like an explosion in an instant, and the rebels entered the city, what should I do, although the sun is setting now, but the raging fire in the north has illuminated the entire Linyi City is fiery red, crying, and the sound of shouting and killing is gradually clear in the ears of everyone.
The Zhizhou of Yizhou has finally suddenly realized that someone is deliberately messing up Linyi, and someone is making rumors about the arrest of King Jing by Jinyiwei, but what is such a big setback, but there is no time for him to think about it, dozens of big men in black walked into the court with sharp knives in hand.
The last thing Zhizhou of Yizhou saw was a bright blade.
The rape and burning of the White Lotus Sect in the city has turned the city into hell in an instant, but in some places the White Lotus Sect disciples did not dare to provoke them, and they had already divided the scope with them when they heard the knife in advance, and there were several places where they were not allowed to enter, and some of the red-eyed disciples rushed over, and they were immediately cut off by people. If you want to start fighting, the White Lotus Sect is now all ruffians and magic sticks, but Wen Dao came to Linyi with a thousand cavalry, and these are all extremely vicious bandits.
A thousand cavalry but there are more than 1,500 horses, Wen Dao was there to watch his subordinates Yizhou's treasury silver packed on the horse, and I couldn't help but feel a little proud in my heart, when Liu Liu Liu and Liu Qi crisscrossed several provinces, but when they encountered Jiancheng, they could only take a detour, but they opened Linyi City, three years ago, more than 30,000 soldiers and horses besieged here, and they didn't open it.
A leader on the side looked at the silver two and carried about the same, walked up to Wen Dao, and asked very respectfully:
"Master, let's open this Linyi City, why don't you run it yourself, this foundation is better in your hands than in the hands of those madmen of the White Lotus Sect!"
Hearing the knife, he hesitated for a moment, and what the rebel wanted most was to occupy the city and cut the land to be the king, but his mind was still sober, and he said categorically at the moment:
"No, if we occupy Linyi City, in less than three days, we will be surrounded by a large army, and we will die at that time!"
The soldiers of the Jing Wangfu were already slashing and killing with knives, and the people who killed the people who were angry just now and did not allow the Jinyi guards to take away the King of Jing, and now the city is full of fires, and the sound of killing is shocking. I don't know who shouted there:
"It's safe inside King Jing's Mansion, and everyone will have nothing to do when they go inside."
As a result, as soon as he shouted like this, he pointed out the direction to these flustered people in the field who didn't know how to be good, and everyone saw it clearly, the White Lotus Sect disciples who seemed to be demon gods didn't dare to approach the streets around King Jing's Mansion at all, and the refugees rushed towards King Jing's Mansion one after another, and there were more people than just now, because most of them were dragging their families. Even the soldiers and officials in the city rushed over together.
How dare the soldiers of the palace let these people into the palace, at the beginning they were still kind to persuade them, but the shouts and killings around them became louder and louder, and the refugees would listen to the persuasion, and the stalemate between the two sides did not last long, and they immediately began to move, and soon it turned into killing.
The soldiers had weapons in their hands, and at the beginning they had the upper hand in slashing those bare-handed people outside, but after all, they couldn't stand the crowd outside, and the refugees who were about to go crazy were not afraid of the sharp blades, and they all rushed over, and the water and fire sticks of the officials and the swords of the soldiers in other places in the city played a key role, and soon the soldiers outside were knocked to the ground, and then hacked to death with knives.
In the past, whether it was the people of Linyi or the ministers of the court, they all praised the simplicity of King Jing's mansion, you must know that the vassal kings in many places built their own mansions as if they were cities, but at this time this simplicity has become a fatal injury, because of simplicity, so the walls are low. Without the defense of the family soldiers, many people just turned in, and of course there were the royal soldiers who were waiting for the battle.
But there were thousands of rebels, and there were only a few hundred soldiers, and soon the inner defense line was also captured......
Wen Dao stood at the door of the yamen, his subordinates had already packed the treasury into packages and moved them to the horses, Yizhou is a wealthy Zhili Prefecture, and the treasury actually has thousands of taels of silver, which is quite surprising, but they all know that the White Lotus Sect in the city now loots more than a few thousand taels of silver.
However, the main body of these cavalry is the cronies of the sword, and they are all the elite trained by the Dengzhou battalion, and his orders will be carried out very resolutely, although the people who turned out to be bandits are very envious and fanatical, but no one dares to move, and soon the other side of the street is rushing quickly.
When he arrived, the knight hurriedly said:
"In charge, the rebels are already about to rush into the inner house, King Jing and they have already been taken to the back door by the general, ready to go out of the city!"
If we look closely at the knight who told the news, you will notice that his trousers are still in the style of a brocade guard, and there are still some bruises on his face, and of course the scars are still stained with mud.
Wen Dao walked down the steps quickly, got on the horse and shouted to the back:
"Brothers, everyone's glory and wealth begins tonight!"
Chen Deaf's remnant bandit Wendao led 5,000 bandits, broke through Linyi City, killed Zhizhou, captured the king of Jing as a hostage, and plundered the city.
This is the Yizhou Zuowei's commander on this matter, twenty miles away from Linyi City, Yizhou Zuowei did not expect that there would be Chen Deaf's remnants to attack the city, and actually broke the city, and kidnapped the King of Jing, and when the Zuowei gathered soldiers into the city to suppress, the bandits had already run away.
After the commander of the Yizhou Left Guard finished writing the paperwork, he wiped his neck with a saber and lost his relatives, this crime is a matter of killing the head, speaking of which, if the Yizhou Zhizhou is not hacked to death by the knife, there will be no better end.
However, unlike Chen Deaf's uprising in the disaster year, at that time, there were all kinds of chaotic people in various places, and now all the prefectures and counties are very quiet, only some small towns and towns in the White Lotus sect came out to make a big publicity, but they were quickly suppressed by the people.
It would take several days for Linyi to send a message to the Beijing division even if it was a fast horse, and the soldiers nearby had already gathered, ready to enter the mountains to exterminate the bandits after receiving the order.
No one thought that when the heavy troops were on guard, the city gate was opened in the middle of the night in Fei County, near Linyi, and the horses entered the city and looted.
Lunan is shaken!
