Chapter 1028: Fish Slipping Through the Net in the Troubled City (Part I)

Sun Ning's reaction was not unpleasant, but also decisive enough, seeing the chaos in the city, he immediately issued an order, strictly ordering all Vietnamese soldiers not to come nonsense.

However, some things, once they happen, like the river breaching, do not mean that they can be blocked quickly.

Although the officers and men of the Vietnamese army have many years of training, and their combat strength and discipline are far higher than those of many armies in the world, they still have their own demands and their own thoughts.

In this Kaifeng City, the soldiers did not suffer less, how many robes died tragically under the city, and spent more than a month here, eating snow against the wind? This breath has been depressed for more than a month, and today I finally have a chance to vent, how can I endure it and stop? .

Before the strict order spreads, the first batch of soldiers who rushed into Kaifeng had already begun to sabotage, burn, kill and loot with impunity.

Anyway, in their opinion, the people of Kaifeng have already surrendered to the enemy, and they dared to help the Pingtian army defend the city before, that is the undoubted enemy, it is natural to kill them, and robbing them is just to collect some interest.

As a result, from the south all the way to the inner city, the corpses of the people in the city who fell in pools of blood could be seen everywhere, and many houses and shops were smashed open and looted......

Even though Yan Hu and other generals who immediately received the order had tried their best to restrain their subordinates and forcibly suppress the generals from coming at will, the damage caused was inevitable, and almost the entire outer city in the south was looted and burned.

The other people in the city were also frightened by this terrible act and ran for their lives, and all went towards the other city gates, during which they fell down because of collisions and squeezing, scrambling for roads, and the number of people who were trampled to death was even more than the number of people who were slaughtered by the Vietnamese army.

What's even worse is that at this time, even if the Vietnamese army shouts and wants to save the people of this city, they no longer dare to believe the nonsense of these city-breaking generals, and after seeing people, they will only run faster.

For a time, there were countless dead, and Sun Ning, who saw that he was moving forward later, was silent for a while.

He knew that he was wrong, and he shouldn't just think about breaking the city, but put this biggest problem aside.

In this way, the loss of Kaifeng is too great, especially the loss of people's hearts, I am afraid that it will not be possible to save it in a few years.

At this point, it is no longer so important to be able to catch important people in the city, such as Qin Yude's son Qin Fang. Of course, this is also powerless, who let the whole Kaifeng make a mess of a pot of porridge?

It was at this time that tens of thousands of people fled to the west of Kaifeng City, at the gate that was forcibly broken open, rushing out.

They were so anxious and disregarded that they had squeezed the gates of the city, which were large enough for five carriages to pass side by side.

Too many people were trampled under the feet of others because of this, and some were even squeezed alive at the edge of the city gates, and they were squeezed to death.

But no matter how the people in front shouted and cried, the people behind still ignored them, and still kept rushing forward and squeezing, just hoping that they could get out and leave.

Qin Fang, a boy who was only fifteen or sixteen years old, was not as stout and tall as his father and uncle, and he looked like an ordinary scholar. In such a chaotic environment, it is naturally impossible for him to break out on his own.

But fortunately, there were many loyal guards around him, who were tall and big, with big shoulders and round waists, and their strength was even greater.

Then these dozen or so guards protected him and Peng Qi, whose face was pale and his eyes were blank, quickly walked along this temporary passage, walked straight out step by step, and finally left Kaifeng City in a long time.

But even if he was out of Kaifeng, Qin Fang was still at a loss.

He is just a young man with little knowledge, and he may have a good temperament, but in the face of such a big change, he doesn't know what to do at this time.

So he could only look at the two most trustworthy people beside him: "Uncle Yu, Brother Peng, we, where should we go?"

Brother Peng is naturally Peng Qi.

he

Originally, it was the responsibility to defend the city, but after the Vietnamese army returned and saw so many heads and corpses on the other side, this scholar who advocated Geng Bian's attack finally collapsed - because in his opinion, this result was self-inflicted.

Moreover, he knew better that Kaifeng was completely unstoppable. If he hadn't been concerned about Qin Fang, he would have the heart to die and die in the city.

In the end, he rushed back to the governor's mansion before the city was destroyed, saying that after Qin Fang was moved, he would take these few remaining loyal guards to protect Qin Fang and make a detour out of the city from the west.

And now, with the smooth exit from the city, the guilt and guilt in his heart are even heavier, and in a trance, he can't even respond immediately.

As for Uncle Yu in Qin Fang's mouth, he is a tall and thin man, like a hemp rod.

He didn't look good, and he didn't seem to have much strength when he left the city just now, but it was obvious that these guards were quite respectful to him, and everyone looked at him at this time.

After thinking for a while, he finally rolled his eyelids, occasionally showed his essence, and said in a deep voice: "Childe, there are only two ways to choose now, one is to go to Luoyang nearby, Zhao Guangxiao They will definitely regret it now, and they have the affection of the metropolitan governor, and they will definitely treat you well."

"The second is to work harder, go to Guanlong, go to Chang'an, and defect to General Li Wannian. Maybe the governor of the capital, after the defeat of the army, also went there."

Qin Fang suddenly hesitated a little, and didn't know what choice to make for a while.

In their case, they don't have much money on them, and there are enemies around them who will chase them at any time, so it is obviously more reasonable to go to Luoyang nearby.

However, when he thought of what Zhao Guangxiao and the others had done before, he didn't want to send people under the fence like this, so he went to defect.

At this moment, Peng Qi, who had been silent, spoke: "Childe, let's go to Chang'an to join General Li."

"This is not only because he is more trustworthy, but also because the Vietnamese army will definitely want to search for and intercept us. The road to Luoyang will soon be blocked, and we will definitely not be able to catch up if we only rely on our legs. Instead, if we go to Chang'an, we can take a detour and avoid their search."

"Then go to Chang'an." Qin put it down simply, nodded immediately, and then followed the large group of fleeing civilians and strode towards the official road ahead.

Seeing this scene, Uncle Yu's expression moved slightly, and then a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he didn't say anything more, followed closely, and walked up, and the others naturally stopped hesitating and followed.

Only Peng Qi hesitated slightly, but he still lowered his head and followed, now is not the time to apologize.
