Chapter 145: The Riot at the City Gate
Inside the city of Xiangyang.
After the news of the Mongol attack came, the whole city became boiling.
The people were all panicked, and ran to their homes one after another, tidying up the soft and clothes in the house, and then ran towards the gate of Xiangyang City, and quickly escaped from this dangerous place, whether it was Junzhou, Chang'an, or Yunnan, Guizhou and other places, in short, the farther away the better.
Standing on top of the city, Lu Shikui couldn't help but be anxious when he looked at this scene.
He shouted to the people under the city, "Please be quiet, go home and rest, and don't gather at the gate of the city to quarrel." It's a pity that his voice is meager, and it is only half a foot away, and it is drowned out by the noisy human voices.
At this moment, at the gate of the city, it was already dark and crowded with people, one by one, as if all the people in the city had run over, and they were all crowded at the gate of the city, and it was so blocked that the water could not be passed.
Faced with this situation, the soldiers who had previously guarded the city gate were also taken aback, and quickly closed the city gate, otherwise they might not know what the trouble would be.
It's just that when the people saw that the city gate was closed, they felt extremely indignant, and they scolded frequently.
"Open the gates quickly, and don't stop us from fleeing for our lives. ”
"That's right. Are you going to let us die here?"
"If we don't open it again, we'll rush out together. ”
“......”
Seeing that the gate of the city was slow to open, the crowd began to be impetuous, and rushed up together, trying to knock the gate open.
In their opinion, Lu Wende and the defenders of Xiangyang seem to be unreliable, otherwise how would they be like this.
Seeing this scene, Lu Shikui became nervous, he hurriedly jumped down from the top of the city, blocked in front of the people, and shouted: "Everyone, please be quiet, don't continue to rush at the city gate." ”
"Don't? Are you going to make us die?"
In the team, a man couldn't hide his anger, picked up a stone, and threw it at Lu Shikui.
Lu Shikui didn't take precautions, and a wound was suddenly smashed on his forehead, and the wound was hot, which made Lu Shikui start to go crazy: "Who is it? Dare to hurt me! If you don't come out, believe it or not, I killed you alive." ”
It would be better for him not to say this, but this immediately aroused everyone's indignation, as if the reservoir that had been accumulated for a long time had finally found an outlet.
"Damn, you Lu family really think that we are pigs and sheep to be slaughtered, and we will fight and kill when we say we will kill?
couldn't hold back the anger in their hearts anymore, and everyone pushed towards the city gate together, and dozens of hundreds of people rushed towards Lu Shikui like Roshan.
"Good fellow, am I incompetent?"
Seeing everyone running together, Lu Shikui felt extremely angry, and immediately used all his strength to punch the person who was running.
"Bang!"
The man couldn't hold his fist and was immediately knocked out.
But the rest of the people did not stop, still rushed towards Lu Shikui, Lu Shikui did not expect this section, just after transporting and repelling a few people, he felt that the consumption of the true yuan was huge, even if there was a thousand powers, it was difficult to exert it, and he was thrown to the ground by several big men together.
"Oops!"
Lu Shikui was also very surprised when he saw that he was knocked to the ground, and when he was about to jump up, dozens of pairs of feet stepped on him together, and immediately trampled him under his feet, no matter how he struggled, it was difficult to get rid of it.
When those people saw Lu Shikui fall to the ground, they were overjoyed, and with a loud cry in their mouths, they rushed towards the gate of the city.
The soldiers at the gate of the city were timid for a while, after all, even Lu Shikui had not stopped them, how dare they offend the anger of the people, and hurriedly opened the gate and lowered the drawbridge, so they hid in the urn city next to it, so as to avoid the flow of people in the sky.
Seeing the city gate open, everyone was overjoyed, and they took a strong step and ran towards the countryside in the distance.
As long as they can escape from this Xiangyang, no matter where they flee, they can fight for a glimmer of life, these people seem to think so.
On the ground, Lu Shikui saw that he was being pressed to the ground, and he was also quite angry, and he shouted loudly, shaking away several people who stepped on him, and immediately turned over and jumped up, but the crazy faces of those people who came to him also shocked Lu Shikui.
What kind of desire makes this group of people so crazy?
"Don't stand in the way, get out of the way. ”
There was also a voice in his ears, and Lu Shikui suddenly felt like flying, but he was directly lifted up by the two of them, one left and one right, and then thrown on the roof next to him.
"What's wrong with them?"
Standing on the roof of the house, Lu Shikui overlooked the flow of people on the street, and he was already frightened.
I don't know why, the group didn't care about anything, they didn't care about anything, they just rushed out of the city gate with red eyes like a herd of cattle in madness.
Lu Shikui had no doubt that if he continued to be in it, he was afraid that he would be completely trampled to death by this group of people.
"They're just trying to escape. ”
A voice came from the side, waking up Lu Shikui.
When he looked sideways, he saw two people standing beside him, it was Huang Zhen and Liu Kezhuang.
"If it weren't for the help of two righteous men, I am afraid that I would have been buried in it. The grace of saving lives, please don't excuse yourself. ”
Lu Shikui stood up tremblingly, and then bowed to the two of them, the armor on his body was full of dust, and his face was also blue and swollen, looking like he didn't know how embarrassed he was.
was trampled on by everyone before, if it was an ordinary person, he was afraid that he would have been rubbed into flesh a long time ago, and it was also a loss Lu Shikui was wearing armor and cultivating a certain amount of martial arts, so he survived by luck, if he was a different person, he was afraid that he would die like this.
Liu Kezhuang replied: "There is no need to thank you, the two of us are just pulling out our swords to help each other when we see injustice." And you are the son of Chongguo Gong, if there is a mistake, I am afraid that Xiangyang will be really dangerous. ”
"Thank you two for trusting, it's just a pity for this group. Rashly escaped from Xiangyang, did they really think they could escape the danger?"
Lu Shikui first bowed his hand and thanked him, and his eyes swept over the city, revealing some desolation.
In the past, the city was crowded and full of people, but at this time, all that was left was scraps of cloth, broken shoes, clothes, and, of course, several corpses, with twisted limbs and shriveled heads, and if they were not covered by clothes, they would not have been able to see human form.
Like Lu Shikui, they were involved in the previous stampede, but because their strength was low and there was no one else to save them, they were trampled on by everyone and lost their lives.
The splatters of blood fell into the dust, like blooming flowers, becoming more and more vivid.
Looking at this scene, the three of them sighed in unison.
"Alas. Wouldn't it be nice if it could be avoided?"
However, the crowd is ignorant, and it is easiest to fall into madness, and this situation is that Wuhou is alive, so I am afraid that there is nothing I can do.
Lu Shikui was also full of guilt, and thought in his heart: "With so many people gone, what should we do if we wait until the Mongols really attack?"
