Chapter 0528: The End of Another City
The fire lit up the sky.
Even the darkness retreated.
The sound of explosions continued to rise, and the flying dragons rushed through the streets with impunity, sometimes hovering high into the air, sometimes falling from the sky, they were fierce and brutal, and the dragon's mouth was slightly opened, and it engulfed the delicate buildings, leaving only the torches that soared into the sky.
The four walls were in tatters, and the crumbling stones fell on the streets of the city, almost blocking several gates.
This city has become a purgatory behind closed doors.
Everyone in the city lord's mansion stared blankly into the distance, until a very close explosion came, and everyone here suddenly woke up, followed by piercing screams, cries and calls, and the people in the small courtyard swarmed out in an instant, at this time, there was no longer a distinction between master and servant, and there was no longer a difference between high and low status, and the panicked crowd only wanted to flee for their lives.
Su Qi was only stunned for a long time, and then hurriedly ran down, followed by the city lord of Shaluo City.
"It's over, the city is over. ”
The voice of the old man with the sword on his back was full of pain, he was a monk sent by Darong here, and he was responsible for all the affairs of Darong here.
Obviously, everything has been negotiated, as long as it takes two more days, Darong's army can enter the city, and at that time, even if the Great Jin has 200,000 troops attacking, this Shaluo city will be as strong as a copper wall.
"This can't ......" The city lord looked dazed, and the huge change overwhelmed his sanity, "How could they blow up the city wall, it was comparable to the city wall of the Great Jin Capital......
Su Qi glanced down at Xue Yun.
She lay on the ground with her head tilted, her body had been broken, and the fire in the distance illuminated the City Lord's Mansion brightly, and streams of blood oozed from the back of her head, soaking her pale green clothes into dark red, and there was a faint and relaxed smile on the corner of her mouth, as if mocking the world, and also seemed to be congratulating herself for her relief.
Even when she died, she was still beautiful.
Su Qi looked up at the burning sky, and sighed in his heart, he really didn't expect that the purpose of the Great Jin was not to occupy this city from the beginning.
It's about ruining it.
The chaos in the City Lord's Mansion did not stop, the shouting crowd was rushing out in a mess, and Su Qi's eyes gradually focused on the largest torch in the south.
It is not far from the city lord's mansion, and it should be a military camp in the north of the city.
Even got caught up there?
Su Qi watched quietly, and gradually realized that it was not a day's work for Dajin to make such a big noise, and the plan to destroy Shaluo City may have started many years ago.
The city lord of Shaluo City also seemed to think of this, and he suddenly pounced on Xue Yun's corpse like crazy, smashing and hammering wildly, while screaming, "Slut! You slut!
I'm afraid this trial is going to fail.
Su Qi shook his head, sat down by the wall, gently pulled the grass in the soil, the firelight completely obscured the starry sky, the scorching wind and waves were coming from afar, the most miserable was probably Xicheng, where countless guests were still gathered in the wine shop, and now it is estimated that they have all turned into dust.
Su Qi's hand suddenly stopped.
How are they?
Chu Dong, Song Zhi, Nangong Mo, Chen Chuchu......
Forget it, they're all characters in fantasy anyway.
Su Qi sighed, he didn't know what the real history looked like? Sikong Zhuo probably couldn't prevent the destruction of Shaluo City, right? Did he and the people of the camel team all die in this turmoil?
Su Qi stretched out his hand and took out a mahogany square box from his chest, which was the necklace that should have been given to Nangong Mo.
The real Sikong Zhuo, did you give it away?
Su Qi looked fixedly, suddenly made up his mind, and suddenly got up and rushed out.
The old man with the sword on his back has left, he took away the city lord of Shaluo City, even if Shaluo City is destroyed, this city lord is also very valuable, he can not only represent Shaluo City and Darong to form an alliance, but also let Darong stand on the moral side to accuse Dajin of invasion and killing.
And Xue Yun's body was lying alone on the ground, like a willow in the wind, tattered.
Su Qi rushed through the courtyard gate, the city lord's mansion was bright, and there were many fewer people, but Su Qi could still see people rushing into the room of the city lord and his wife and concubine, moving out piles of belongings, and some people were sitting on their knees in a daze, as if they had given up struggling.
He galloped through the promenade, and broke through the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, the streets were full of fire, and it seemed that this place had just been rushed by a fire dragon, and the trees on both sides of the road had been burned black, except for the City Lord's Mansion, almost none of the houses were intact, and the fires in all directions were approaching the City Lord's Mansion little by little.
Su Qi ran on the long street with difficulty, sometimes the bricks and tiles that were blown away by the explosion fell, sometimes there were fire dragons rushing out, the long street was full of charred corpses, countless people died in the run, they lay on the ground, some were covered with collapsed bricks and tiles, some were alone in the middle of the street, burned by the scorching flames embedded in the stones, and some people were hugged together and burned into charcoal under the wall.
This is the end of a city.
Su Qi has seen a similar scene, the former Lidu was also turned into a scorched earth in the explosion.
He ran all the way, the air had become very choking, black smoke and dust circulated in the air, and his chest hurt terribly, but he still managed to run towards Xicheng.
Xicheng is also a sea of fire, and all the liquor shops are burning with blazing fires.
But there are still people fleeing for their lives here, the unclothed Qinglou woman, the bachelor who is no longer elegant and dignified, the pot-bellied rich merchant and aristocrat, everyone huddles together and flees to the west gate in a hurry.
Su Qi rushed past the Mingyue Restaurant, which had collapsed, and a boulder flying from nowhere smashed on the restaurant, completely shattering the building that was still magnificent not long ago.
He had already seen the Homecoming Inn from afar.
His heart sank, the inn was half-collapsed, and a fire was burning, and he could faintly hear the miserable neighing of camels.
He stopped in front of the inn, stared blankly at the collapsed door, and after a while, he walked forward.
The door shattered, the beam fell, and in front of him, Su Qi had to lie down before he could barely get in, the air here was full of the smell of flames, the choking smoke made it difficult for Su Qi to breathe, and the most painful thing was the hot temperature on his back.
His flesh should be burned.
It took him a long time to get up straight, the flames and smoke obscuring his vision, making it difficult for him to see everything around him.
"Nangong?"
"Chen Chuchu?"
"Song Zhi?".
Su Qi shouted loudly and coughed incessantly, but the inn was quiet, only the crackling sound of flames, the clanging sound of wood breaking and falling, and the faint shouting sound from outside.
It's like a world away.
