Pang Hao asked tremblingly, "You only managed to raise thirty million taels of silver?"
That's enough.
For Jiang Tian, there was not much difference between thirty million taels of silver and fifty million taels of silver.
They're just strings of numbers.
"Men, put Lord Pang in the carriage and escort him back to the capital."
"promise……"
Just then, two Qin cavalrymen rushed over, their faces deathly pale.
"My lord, we have discovered a large number of women's legs." Clearly, the two Qin cavalrymen were terrified.
Jiang Tian knew that these Qin cavalrymen had traversed countless battlefields and had seen all sorts of scenes.
Jiang Tian quickly followed the cavalrymen and charged forward.
When Jiang Tian arrived at the scene, he was stunned.
Everywhere there were women who were on the verge of death.
These women had to work for Zhang Xianzhong and his men during the day, and were used for their amusement and abuse at night.
When military rations were scarce, these women suffered even more.
Zhang Xianzhong's soldiers would not hesitate to kill these women.
“These beasts,” Jiang Tian gritted his teeth, “bring all these women along and quickly find them some clothes.”
…………
The capital city.
On the city tower.
Qian Renxue, the young girl, spent the whole night in fear.
Just then, a dozen or so fast horses rushed in.
"Good news...good news..."
After these cavalrymen rushed into the city gate, they quickly dismounted and headed straight for the city tower.
"Your Majesty, Lord Jiang has led his soldiers to a great victory."
"In this battle, more than 100,000 enemy soldiers were killed, and almost all of their main force and elite troops were wiped out."
"The cavalry are chasing the fleeing soldiers."
"Lord Jiang captured a large amount of grain and fodder from the enemy's camp."
"These grains have already been loaded onto carts and are ready to be transported to the capital today."
Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.
"Lord Jiang, are you alright?"
"Is he injured?"
Qian Renxue quickly asked a couple more questions.
On the battlefield, swords and spears have no eyes.
Qian Renxue, this young girl, was afraid that something might happen to Jiang Tian.
In Qian Renxue's eyes, Jiang Tian was her only support in this life.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, Lord Jiang is safe and sound, and has not been injured."
Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue was overjoyed: "Pass down the order and inform all the people in the city that the rebels have been completely defeated and have been routed."
Upon hearing this, the soldiers guarding the city quickly dispatched dozens of men to rush down from the city wall.
These men mounted their horses, each holding a gong.
They galloped on horseback while beating drums and gongs.
"The rebels have been defeated."
"The rebels have been defeated."
News of the failed judgment in the risk assessment quickly spread to every corner of the capital.
At this moment, the people in the city were all in an uproar.
Many people were at a loss for what to do.
After entering the city, Ma Liangyong and his team spread the word to the people.
Open the city gates to welcome the commander-in-chief; when the commander-in-chief arrives, no more taxes will be levied.
These people were desperately hoping that Zhang Xianzhong's army would enter the city and save them from their suffering.
However, reality gave them a harsh slap in the face.
Many people walked to the city gate and went outside.
The people wept bitterly, as if they had lost their parents.
"General Zhang, you can't die! If you die, how will we common people survive?"
"Open the city gates to welcome the commander-in-chief! The city gates are open now, so why don't you come?"
"General Zhang, you are the only hope for us poor people. If you die, we really can't live."
In the crowd.
Ma Liangyong also mingled among them.
Ma Liangyong immediately noticed that there were very few soldiers defending the city wall.
“Fellow villagers, crying won’t do any good now.” Ma Liangyong quickly rallied the people, and more and more people who had not been arrested by the Embroidered Uniform Guard joined in.
"General Zhang cannot be dead. Don't be misled by them."
“Let’s storm the city walls, and the one on the walls is that dog emperor.”
"Kill the dog emperor and welcome the commander-in-chief into the city."
"Fellow villagers, remember this: open the city gates to welcome the commander-in-chief. When the commander-in-chief arrives, no more taxes will be levied."
Fueled by Ma Liangyong and his ilk, the uninformed civilians rushed recklessly onto the city wall.
"Kill them and welcome Commander Zhang into the city."
"With Commander Zhang around, we'll be able to fill our stomachs."
"This damned emperor has been in the capital for so many years. Some of us have died, some have fled, and the rest of us are in a miserable state."
"Kill the dog emperor and chop off his head."
More and more people climbed up the stairs to the city wall.
Qian Renxue never expected that almost all the people in the city would rush over.
Thousands of people were gathered at the stairwell leading to the city gate.
The soldiers guarding the city wall panicked immediately.
"Hold the stairs and absolutely do not let these rioters come up."
The Qin cavalry quickly guarded the staircase.
Although the number of Qin cavalrymen guarding the city walls was small, they were all brave and skilled in battle.
These people's idea of rushing up the stairs and onto the city wall is simply wishful thinking and a pipe dream.
The new Qin soldiers blocked the stairs with huge iron shields.
They extended their sabers through the gaps in the iron shields.
Once someone gets close, they are first shot with arrows, then hacked to death with a sword.
These people were spurred forward by Ma Liangyong and his men.
After all attempts to dissuade them failed,
A volley of arrows rained down.
Many civilians were shot down on the spot.
