Many clerks, including the Ulzhou Prefecture Ya, Zhizhou Wang Zhan, Tongzhi Zheng Wenju, and Ling Zhou Youcheng, were pale, and even trembled. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The peasant army swept in, and they couldn't help but tremble at the thought of what those thieves had done after breaking through the city, and only the mobilization of the people to protect the state government would make them feel a little at ease.

Wang Zhan tried his best to calm himself and make his next words appear more majestic and more decent, and he asked, "How is the battle going?" ”

Earlier, the peasant army was repulsed by Xiao Yi, which did make them ecstatic, but it didn't take long for the worse news to come, the thieves had gathered tens of thousands of people to storm the south gate, and they couldn't help but think.

Xiao Yi only has a few thousand people, how can he resist tens of thousands of wolf-like thieves?

These civil officials usually look down on those generals the most, but at this time they have to rely on those generals to resist, only if they resist the thieves and robbers to attack the city, their families and property may be spared.

After Wang Zhan asked, no one replied, they all lowered their heads and didn't know what they were thinking, Wang Zhan also sighed when he saw their reactions.

It seems that these people think the same as their own, but they didn't expect that they had worked hard for many years, and finally pulled Chonggu down from the position of Zhizhou, and before their buttocks were hot, they were about to be looted by thieves, and then the rogues invaded the city.

Even if he is lucky not to die, but after the liquidation of the imperial court, not only Xiao Yi's integrity officer, including himself, the governor, but also the civil and military officials in the country are probably to blame, and no one can escape.

"My lord, Lord Zhizhou, the city is broken!"

Just as he was thinking, a person ran back in a panic, and the news he brought made everyone wake up like a dream, and the city was broken? The city is broken!

Run!

The officials, who had been sitting in their chairs at a loss for what to do, were now scurrying around like headless flies, and they scrambled to escape from the state office.

Most of the people ran home, gathered up their gold and silver and tried to escape, and some of them were overwhelmed and shouted like crazy after escaping.

Running out of the state office, the city of Ulzhou, which was as calm as water not long ago, finally began to turmoil.

Xiao Yi had already ordered martial law, and at the same time strictly ordered no one to leave the house, at first this order was quite effective, but after several days of fighting, even though most people were still at home, their attention did not decrease at all.

Every household held their breath and pricked up their ears to listen to the shouts of killing outside the city, until late that night, the cheers of the peasant army suddenly came outside.

"The city is broken, the city is broken!"

Immediately afterwards, the Yong'an soldiers patrolling the city rushed to the south gate in batches, and not long after they passed, the shouts of killing became closer and closer, and many people fled back from the south gate.

At this time, some bold people quietly went out, and when they saw the people who had fled back from the south gate, they were actually wearing the clothes of officers and soldiers, and when they asked carefully, the thieves had already attacked the south gate!

These people are the original gunners, Xiao Yi can't recruit usable artillery talents in the short term, and when he is employing people, he only lays off a group of the laziest gunners, and the rest are retained.

At this time, it was the time when the fighting was most intense, whether it was the sergeants of the Yong'an Army or the people who assisted in the defense, they were all busy, and they couldn't wait to grow more hands, where would they have time to take care of these gunners.

They were unarmed, and they were powerless to resist the tiger-wolf thieves, and when the city gate was breached, they fled to the city.

The people who don't know why can only see the south gate of the black hole, the officers and soldiers scattered and fled back, plus the shouts of killing that are getting closer and closer to them, and those who are officials have already begun to flee.

This made the people even more panicked, and they had already packed their belongings and fled from their homes and rushed towards the east and west gates.

"My lord, let's..."

In the state office, Zheng Wenju and Zhou Youcheng walked to the eclipsed Wang Zhan, and the implication was to persuade Wang Zhan to flee with them.

Wang Zhan seemed to be much older at this time, and he waved his hand weakly: "Let's go, this official is my great Mingzhizhou, and the court has promised me to be generous, and now that the thieves have entered the city, they must not grovel and flee!" ”

"But..."Zheng Wenju wanted to say something, but was stopped by Zhou Youcheng.

Then, Wang Zhan walked out of the lobby step by step, looked at the panicked servants and people outside, and raised his head to the sky: "Xiao Yi is finished, the Yongan Army should be about to be destroyed, and it should be my Wang Zhan." ”

Zheng Wenju and Zhou Youcheng glanced at each other, both escaped from the state office, and when they saw the panicked soldiers and civilians outside, they were even more convinced that Xiao Yi had failed, and they each fled back to the mansion to escape from the city.

"Run, the thieves have broken the city, and they won't be able to run out if it's too late." A man ran out crying with a burden.

"What about the officers and soldiers, what about the Yong'an Army, have they also escaped?"

A woman behind him cried out, "Oh my God, what a sin this is this, these thieves!" ”

At this time, there were not only soldiers and civilians who fled in a panic, but also people who lost hope and sat on the ground crying and waiting for death, and even more people who firmly believed in Xiao Yi and the Yong'an Army, who hid at home, despite the chaos outside, and still did not have any idea of escaping.

……

In a dwelling, the woman was running back and forth in a panic, packing her belongings and preparing to escape, when she turned her head and saw that her husband was still sitting motionless, she hurried over and slapped him.

"His father, the thieves have broken the city, hurry up and pack up your things and escape from the city with the children."

When the man heard this, he shook his head and said firmly: "Nonsense! Adults will not let the thieves enter the city, with the heroes of the Yongan Army guarding it, it will be fine! ”

When the woman saw the determination in her husband's eyes, she was also a little moved, crying and stepping forward to shake his body: ", I told you that the officers and soldiers are unreliable, you don't believe it, now it's okay, the thieves have entered the city!" ”

The man's face was resolute, hugging the crying woman, his eyes were shining.

Outside this dwelling, countless hurried people ran out of the house with their families in tow, and they were about to go to the south gate in a hurry.

……

Suddenly there was an earth-shattering cheer at the south gate, followed by a deafening shout, and some of the clever people soon heard what was being shouted.

I don't know who shouted in surprise: "It's the Yong'an Army, they are shouting the Yong'an Army!" ”

"Is it true?"

The people stopped their pace, facing each other, all at a loss.

In the state ya, Wang Zhan is commanding a small number of loyal servants and people, they have not escaped, they are helpless, they have long relied on Wang Zhan's help, they will spread firewood all over the state ya, and they will live and die with the lord of Zhizhou and the city of Ulzhou.

Suddenly, a shout of shaking came from the south gate, and then the people in the city also came to cheer, Wang Zhan had already adjusted his mentality, since he was going to die, then he must not let those thieves look down on my Ming Zhizhou!

He said flatly: "Ah Zheng, go out and see what's going on outside, whether the thieves have entered the city." ”

The servant who was called Ah Zheng nodded and ran out of the state office, and not long after, the servant came back, and he shouted with a look of surprise.

"My lord, my lord doesn't have to die, the thieves are defeated!"

"Lord Ethics has kept!"

Wang Zhan's face was full of shock when he heard this, he couldn't believe his ears: "You say it again, the thieves are really defeated?!" ”

The servant cried with joy on his face, not at all fake: "It's true, the Yong'an Army has entered the city to pacify the army and the people!" ”

Wang Zhan finally made up his mind to live and die with the state city, but this sudden news made him like a bombshell, he could live, and he didn't want to die.

He immediately collapsed to the ground, muttering in disbelief: "Xiao Yi, Xiao Yi is ......" (to be continued.) )
