As they got closer to the city gates, the crowd of people fleeing for their lives gradually became denser. Some poor families are still reluctant to abandon the family property they have saved when they are fleeing for their lives, and they have to bring some things, lead sheep and cattle, and carry carts and burdens, mixed with the crowd of people who are running in a panic, making the already chaotic flow of people even more congested.

At an intersection, several wheelbarrows collided and fell to the ground, and at this time people were only concerned about running for their lives, no one went to help, and some even stepped directly from above, and the people behind were just in a hurry to squeeze forward.

As a result, the more crowded people became, the more congested the cars and cars, and soon the intersection was blocked.

The frightened crowd couldn't care much longer, whether it was the burden of the car or the people falling to the ground, they all stepped on it one by one. For a while, the sound of crying and scolding came and went, and the ghosts cried wolves.

Du San saw that the road ahead was blocked and impassable, and he was also anxious.

But of course he was not in such a hurry as the refugees were to rush forward, he turned his head to the left and right, his eyes swept over the rows of houses and shops on both sides of the street, and then he turned and squeezed towards the side of the street.

After a short time, Du San came to the foot of a partition wall, and immediately jumped on the wall, and then jumped from the wall to the roof, and then he walked along the roof, and the snow on the tile surface that he only stepped on made a creaking sound along the way.

Meng Shiyun quietly picked up Du San's shoulder, after running all the way, her emotions had already calmed down, and her crying had already stopped, at this time, seeing Du San suddenly ran to the roof, the tile covered with thick snow moved back quickly with his footsteps, and a fear of heights suddenly made her heart hang, for fear that one of her actions would make Du San lose her balance, so that the two of them would roll down, so the shoulders on it would be quieter.

Soon, Du San ran to a crossroads, the street cut off the road, and the street below was densely packed with people, and there was no gap.

Looking at the crowded crowd below, Du San felt a slight bitterness in his heart, and was hesitating how to cross the street, and when he continued to run forward on the opposite roof, he suddenly heard a burst of frightened screams from the direction of the city gate: "The soldiers are coming!" The soldiers are coming! Everyone, run back! ”

Du San frowned slightly, raised his eyes and looked in the direction of the city gate, by the light of the fire on the battlements, he saw that the tide-like crowd suddenly turned their heads and ran towards the city, but the crowd behind them didn't know what was going on in front of them, and they still blindly rushed forward.

Beiyi's cavalry rushed in at this time, and like hungry wolves pounced on sheep, they rode their war horses directly into the crowd, and at the same time brandished bright scimitars and slashed all the way.

Blood spilled in the light of the sword, heads rolled down in panic, corpses that fell to the ground were soon trampled into flesh by horses' hooves, and the frightened people wished to grow a pair of limbs, and flew away from the center of this hell of death as fast as they could, and squeezed into the crowd as if they were crazy in the miserable cry.

Those who were pushed down could no longer stand up, and those who were devoured by terror could no longer care about anything but flee for their lives, whether it was women and children, relatives and friends who fell to the ground, they only knew how to step on them vigorously......

Du San didn't feel flustered by the sudden change in front of him, nor did he plan to flee to other city gates like those people who fled everywhere, after all, he was an experienced person on the battlefield, and he knew very well that since there were soldiers at the south city gate, the remaining east gate and north gate had already fallen.

The best thing to do now is to find a place to hide around here and see how the situation develops.

He put down Meng Shiyun who was carrying it on his shoulder, and at this time, Meng Shiyun also saw the hellish scene at the city gate in the distance, and was suddenly frightened, and hurriedly covered his half-open mouth with his hand, for fear that shouting out his voice would summon those murderous soldiers, and at the same time subconsciously hid behind Shan Mu.

Du San hurriedly comforted her, then looked left and right, and saw that there was a cornice not far away, which seemed to be able to hide underneath, so he hurriedly pulled Meng Shiyun's hand: "Let's go." ”

This cornice is at the corner where the two houses are connected, forming a triangular space below, which can accommodate two or three people, not only to shelter from the wind and snow, but also to squat in it and directly see the situation at the city gate.

Du San asked Meng Shiyun, whose face was already pale with fright, to squat in first, and then block her outside.

By this time, the crowd in the streets had gradually dispersed, and about 1,000 people had poured into the city. They then closed the gates, leaving some of them to guard the place, while the rest poured into the city and began to plunder.

The soldiers seemed to know very well that there was money to be robbed in those places, and that there were beautiful girls and beautiful women, so they walked towards the places where there were pavilions and attics. Although those big families have high walls and large courtyards, and some even have a lot of courtyard warriors, they are simply vulnerable in front of these wolf-like soldiers.

Perhaps, only at this time can the so-called real fairness be realized, the richer the family, the more they will bear.

However, for Du San, who was hiding under the cornices, he didn't care about what was happening in the city, and at this time he was quietly watching the situation at the gate of the city, where there were still about two hundred soldiers, and all of them were cavalry.

With his strength alone, and then with a weak little girl, it is impossible to rush out. He was secretly planning a strategy in his heart, thinking about how to get out of the city safely, when he suddenly heard a sound of footsteps in the distance behind him.

Du San's brows furrowed slightly, he turned his head to look in the direction of the sound, his brows suddenly furrowed deeper, and he saw that on the main street leading to the palace, there was a group of people walking towards the city gate, and there were as many as four or five hundred people. And these people walked steadily, without showing any panic, and at a glance they knew that they were not ordinary people.

"Praetorian Guard!" Du San exclaimed in his heart.

The Praetorian Guards were responsible for guarding the palace, but now that the emperor and ministers were not in the capital, these Janissaries saw that the city gate had been broken, so they naturally had no intention of guarding the palace, so they chose the road to escape. They marched very fast, and in a short time they were close to the southern gates.

"Woo......!" A dull horn suddenly sounded, and it was heard far away in the night sky full of snowflakes. After discovering the enemy's situation, those soldiers immediately sounded the horn for help, and at the same time put on a posture to meet the enemy.

But the Praetorian Guards, on the other hand, did not pause, and they were ready to attack as they marched, and before the cavalry soldiers could charge, they were already in front of them.

Although these Janissaries were all infantry, they were twice as many as the Yi soldiers, and they were well-equipped, and they were all elites selected from the army.

Those soldiers were suddenly turned on their backs by the rushing people, and their feet were in chaos, and most of them were killed and injured in a blink of an eye.

Du San, who was hiding on the roof and watching, knew that the opportunity to get out of the city was fleeting, and there was no way to miss it. He hurriedly stood up from under the cornice, turned to Meng Shiyun and said, "Miss, let's go quickly." ”

Although Meng Shiyun felt very scared, she also knew that Du San was the only life-saving straw, and now she had to listen to him, so she didn't dare to play a young lady's temperament, so she hurriedly came out. Du San picked her up with one hand, and fell to the street in a few vertical jumps, and after putting Meng Shiyun down, he hurriedly pulled her hand: "Hurry up." ”

The two of them fled all the way to the city gate.

At this time, the Praetorian Guard had already opened the city gate, but Du San clearly heard the sound of horses' hooves galloping towards this side in several streets behind him, and he didn't have to think about it to guess that it was the soldiers who had gone to loot and rushed back to support when they heard the trumpet.

Du San was anxious, Meng Shiyun couldn't run her so fast, and at this time, he had to guard against the surrounding soldiers, and it was not good to carry her anymore. If these reinforcements catch up, it will be very difficult for them to escape. His eyes continued to search in the chaos, and finally saw a horse that had lost its owner not far ahead, so he pulled Meng Shiyun and ran towards the horse.
