Chapter 540: The Big Picture Has Been Decided

"Boom!"

The eastern, western, and northern gates of Youxin City collapsed with a loud bang, and huge stones smashed into the original city gate, blocking the city gate firmly under the desperate gaze of the rebels who were about to withdraw from the city.

"Move the stones! If we can't get out, we'll all die!" shouted a man who looked like a military commander in the city.

He was greeted by a barrage of grenades thrown from the city walls.

At this time, in Youxin City, the fire and blood were intertwined, and the shouts of killing were still endless.

Most of the city was in flames.

Countless people hiding in their homes were driven out of their homes by the flames or engulfed in flames, and the smoke made people have to cover their mouths, lower their bodies, and flee in panic.

Those people were like fish in a net, and there were flames everywhere they looked, as if the whole city was in a sea of fire, which made them even more panicked, and most of them subconsciously ran in the direction of the nearest city gate.

"Run to the south of the city, there is no fire in the south of the city!" The voice that came from nowhere made many panicked people subconsciously run towards the south of the city.

And the flow of people has led to more people.

People are conformists, especially in times of disaster.

Figures stood on the houses outside the line of fire, looking down at the panicked fleeing people in the dark night, and from time to time the light of weapons was lit up, and the screams of people before death were heard.

Some of the rebels who were crowded in the crowd splattered blood and fell to the ground.

The empress stood above the city gate and looked down on the city in flames, and Ren Baqian was half a position behind her.

"Your Majesty, my lordship, refugees are pouring in. Zuo Lengluo said in a deep voice ten meters on the side of the two.

"Get out of the way, let them go out of the city, and send a loud voice at the gate to tell them who started the fire." "Ren 8000. By this time, he could already see the crowd surging below in the direction of the city gate.

Although it can be said that it is safe to reach the south of the city, most of the civilians in the entire city are rushing towards this area, which is already overcrowded, and the crowd pushes and crowds in the direction of the city gate, trampling, violence, and all kinds of things happen almost all the time.

"Your Majesty, one of the thieves' heads, Tie Ziqi, has been awarded the head!" Qingping fell in front of the empress, holding the human head and said.

"Got it!" The empress didn't even look at it, and turned to Ren Baqian: "Even if these people escape today, they won't be able to hold on to the food." ”

"Please also ask Your Majesty to issue an order to transfer food and porridge from Xue Yang and other cities for assistance, and tell them who gave them this meal when giving porridge, and the people who escaped here will definitely remember Your Majesty's kindness!" Ren Baqian turned his mind.

"There is no food in Jiangbei, and when the army left before, the excess food was taken away. The empress said. Although it seems that she has recently allowed Ren Yaqian to do it, it doesn't mean that she doesn't know anything. "Xue Yangcheng's grain can support a few days, but it takes at least three days for the army to return and transfer the grain over, and I don't know how much will happen in these three days.

"And what is Your Majesty's plan?"

"Let the people in the south of the city take out all the surplus food at home, and according to the number of people, they can at least last a few days. After that, the food will be brought in, and they will not starve to death. ”

As for whether the people in the south of the city are willing or not, it is not within her scope of consideration at all.

Being able to arrange it like this is already her kindness.

"Your Majesty is like this, it is the work of Ming Jun!" Ren Baqian said along the pole.

"What do you mean I used to be a faint king?" the empress glanced at him.

"How is that possible? It's just that His Majesty's wisdom in the past was for the people of the ancient tribe. "Ren 8000.

"You have put a lot of thought into these people these days, and you can't let them starve to death like this. The empress said lightly.

At this time, there was chaos below the two, countless heads were crowded together, and the cries and shouts rang out into one.

The empress released her whole body momentum, like a mountain suppressed on everyone's hearts, and the following immediately quieted down, everyone seemed to be choked by the neck, and even breathing was difficult.

The empress's momentum was immediately closed, and without saying a word, the victims below covered their mouths one by one, not daring to make a sound.

"Your Majesty! The power alone can calm down so many panicked people. Ren Baqian exclaimed.

"The fire is spreading!" the empress ignored him and looked into the distance.

"Someone!" Ren Baqian glanced up and called out to the guards to order. "Start from a position close to the place where the fire is fired, notify the people in the south of the city, leave the house with food, and leave the city immediately!"

"In addition, let Xidu send some people to maintain order and avoid the chaos outside the city. ”

The two of them stood at the top of the city until the sky lit up with a touch of fish belly white, and the shouting and killing in the distance became quieter.

On this night, Xiwanya and the Southern Protector Army gradually retreated with the fire, always stopping the rebels who wanted to rush out of the line of fire.

And the flying cavalry is always on the city wall to stop the rebels who want to escape over the wall.

As for the Metropolitan Protectorate, after the initial guidance of the civilians and the removal of the stragglers, they were engaged in maintaining order outside the city.

150,000 rebels, and very few of them have slipped through the net.

In addition to dying under the sword, he died of suffocation due to lack of oxygen in the fire.

"Your Majesty, it's over. Ren Baqian said behind the empress.

The empress's red figure flashed on the city wall, then disappeared in place, returning to her own luan.

Ren Baqian stretched out his hand when the empress left, but he was empty.

Walking down the city wall with his hands behind his back, he could still hear the voices of the crowd in the distanceβ€”"Don't you know who put the oil cans and firewood, and other things that set fire on fire?" It was His Majesty who saved your lives and gave you a way out...... All the food will be distributed according to the capitation, as long as you hold on for a few days, the food transported from Xueyang City will make you starve to death......"

"Zuo Leng!"

"Lord Ren!"

"Organize these people, find some young people to start extinguishing the fire from the periphery, and search the city for valuables and food that has not been destroyed. "Ren 8000. At this time, most of the people used stone jars to store grain, and although some houses were burned, the grain in the stone jars could still be eaten.

"Dig a pit outside the city and bury the corpses, lest there be any disease." Then arrange for someone to check around the city to see how many rebels have run and in which direction. ”

After explaining the matter, Ren Baqian stood at the city gate and looked at the civilians who were still in fear and sorrow, shook back to the empress's Luan, and fell to the ground to close his eyes to rest.

It wasn't long before two pieces of animal skins were thrown out of Luan's drive and pasted on his face.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Ren Baqian happily spread the animal skin under him, and it didn't take long for him to fall asleep.

β€”β€”

After most of the day, except for a few who had been resting for half a day to maintain order, the army turned back to Xueyang City again.

It took a day and a half to return to Xueyang City again, and before he could enter the city, he smelled a smell of blood.

After entering the city to find out, after the army left, Rao Yu really led troops to attack.

An army of 1,000 ancient tribes held 50,000 rebels out of the city for two days.

During this period, Hongcheng also drove many young people in the city to help defend the city, and under the threat of knives and blood, those young men really came in handy, which greatly reduced the morale of the rebels, so that Rao Yu had to retreat with hatred.

However, because of this, the people of Xue Yang City panicked again.

Fortunately, the overall situation has been decided at this time. Only Rao Yu can't set off too much turmoil, and the people's hearts will slowly recover.
