The night is gloomy, the stars are twinkling, in the city of Xiuwu, the fire is soaring to the sky, there is black smoke everywhere, the sound of fighting and screaming comes and goes, endlessly, the city is in chaos, there are people running around everywhere, and some people are fishing in troubled waters, taking advantage of the chaos to rob shops and restaurants.

The eastern, southern, and western gates of Xiuwu City were crowded with people, and their expressions were strangely excited, and they slowly approached the isolation and horse-rejecting fence of the city defense camp.

"Oh no, the rebel army has entered the city, run!"

"Let's go, don't worry about the things at home anymore, it's important to escape!"

"Hurry, we can't stay in the city any longer, the officers and soldiers have begun to scatter in all directions, looting the shops, and fleeing to the other city gates."

......

For a time, in the midst of this noise and fear, many people blocked the city gate, demanding that the officers and soldiers guarding the city gate immediately open the door and let them out.

However, the officers and soldiers of the three city gates did not show weakness and were not coerced by this scene, and a large number of officers and soldiers came down from the city one after another, standing in front of the horse barrage, each holding a spear, pointing directly at the approaching people, and there was a posture of killing without saying a word, and for a while suppressed the field and controlled the situation.

However, no matter how the guards threatened and warned, many people were still ready to move, brewing a riot.

"Listen, no one is allowed to come any closer. Otherwise, if we take a step further and be careful of the swords in our hands, General Ben will let the soldiers in the city immediately release arrows and cover up the killing, and there will be no mercy! ”

At this time, in front of the inner city of the south gate of Xiuwu City, a military general stood there majestically, his tiger eyes widened, and the armor on his body rang with his shouting. In particular, he held his saber tightly, and every time he took a step forward, the people surrounding him would instinctively retreat, faintly fearful.

Seeing this situation, the garrison became more and more confident, and stepped forward in a sonorous manner, striding forward again, and shouted loudly: "General Ben repeats, Xiuwu City is still in the hands of the imperial court, and it has not been broken, so leave quickly and quickly extinguish the fire in the city." The news about the rebel army entering the city is all rumors, and it is deliberately done by the anti-thieves. ”

However, as soon as the garrison finished speaking, a group of officers and soldiers and officials fled from a distance, and they frantically ran towards the gate, and everyone was embarrassed. In the blink of an eye, they came to the gate and gathered on the opposite side of the garrison.

In an instant, the atmosphere suddenly became larger, and the surrounding people inexplicably gained confidence, followed this team, and forced towards the garrison together.

Unable to say anything to the guard, several members of the retreating team suddenly pulled out their weapons and threatened: "Hurry up and let us out!" Don't talk nonsense, even the county government has turned into a sea of fire, and the adults have been hacked to death by the rebels, let us go quickly. Otherwise, don't blame the brothers for tearing their faces with the general! ”

All of a sudden, the garrison immediately drew his saber, until the crazy official chest, thick eyebrows upside down, a fierce look, about to warn again, suddenly, the city wall poured down a group of city defense battalions, all of them panicked, straight to the gate, but one of the colonels came to the garrison, hurriedly said: "General, no, the county government is in flames, the figure is shaking, it seems that the chaotic army has really entered the city, let's run quickly!" Otherwise, it's too late...... Yes! ”

Before the little colonel could finish speaking, he was instantly slashed to death by the garrison knife, and before he could scream, he fell heavily to the ground.

Everything happened so suddenly, and the guard's move was even more without warning, which surprised everyone! The people around were only stunned for a moment, not frightened by the resolute means of the garrison.

At this moment, the people may still have some doubts about the words of the officer, but as soon as the little colonel spoke, everyone heard it clearly. Even though the strong smell of blood stirred everyone's nerves, the threat from the chaotic army had already brought them to the extreme of an outbreak, and the ensuing words of the official made everyone explode.

"Folks, don't be intimidated by this executioner! Anyway, it's a death on the left and right, it's better to fight, and there is still hope for escape if you escape! ”

In an instant, all the officials and officers who had retreated pulled out their weapons, and without too many words, they immediately killed the garrison.

"How dare you ......?"

The garrison only had time to shout three words, and they were killed by people who leaned forward and backwards, unable to parry, and could lose their lives at any time.

When fighting with people, the garrison's eyes looked left and right, and he was about to shout and let his soldiers do it, but he saw the side that made him angry, and secretly said that it was not good.

I saw that there were still people on the left and right sides of the garrison, and they all ran to the city gate, and most of the officers and soldiers of the city defense battalion were opening the city gate and rushing out. With a dull sound of opening the door, everyone flocked out of the city!

At the same time, a similar scene was happening at the east and west gates of Xiuwu City, even worse!

At the east gate, almost the people were just blocked in front of the city gate, and the guard saw that the darkness was overwhelming, so many people stared at him fiercely, and then saw that the city was full of fires, and all kinds of rumors were spreading, and he suddenly panicked, opened the city gate, and took a group of subordinates to go with the flow of people.

I don't know when, the flow of people at the three city gates in the south, east and west became sparse and pulled, and more and more people ran out.

Outside the east gate, Gao Yili led a team of 1,000 people to appear, looking at the deserted city gate, and couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh: "Haha... I was so lucky that I barely made any effort to take the east gate and enter the city. ”

At this time, an adjutant general next to him reminded: "Captain, let's hurry into the city." The boss is still waiting outside the north gate, waiting for us to break through the north gate from inside the city and welcome the rest of the people into the city. ”

Hearing this, Gao Yigong's expression was closed, he stopped laughing, and then shouted: "Enter the city!" ”

As soon as he entered the city, Gao Yigong did not stop, gave an order, and led a team of men and horses straight to the north gate.

"Deliver my orders, and leave three hundred men to guard the gates, and welcome the brothers behind them into the city. The others will come with me, kill to the north gate, and answer the boss! ”

Soon after, in the center of Xiuwu City, three teams of people and horses happened to come from three directions, south, south, and west, and met at a crossroads, which was the three teams of Li Jiajun led by Dang Shousu, Liu Tichun and Gao Yi.

Under the light of the fire, the three of them immediately recognized each other, and Dang Shousu even asked: "Hey, Captain Liu, Captain Gao, where are Captain Liu Fangliang and Captain Wu Ruyi Wu who are with you?" And, how is it that there are so many fewer of you all at once? Guarding the city gates, you shouldn't need so many people, right? ”

The three of them joined forces, walked side by side, went to the north gate of Xiuwu City, and talked while walking, Liu Tichun and Gao Yigong answered Dang Shousu's doubts one after another.

"Captain Dang, don't you know, just when the people fled Xiuwu City, Captain Liu Fangliang and I received an order from the boss to let Captain Liu Fangliang enter the city at intervals and stay outside the city for the time being, while appeasing the people, it is also just in case, lest there be a mutation at the city gate."

Gao Yigong was slightly flustered, but he didn't expect Liu Tichun to be the same as himself, and looked at Dang Shousu in an instant.

"Captain Dang, I am in the same situation as Captain Liu, and Captain Wu is also outside the city now."

Immediately, the three of them did not hesitate any longer, accelerated the pace of progress, and went straight to the north gate, their faces filled with extreme excitement.
