Chapter 346: Threatening to Massacre the City
Not only were the Qilin Army soldiers confused, but even the Su family members in the rear were also full of questions.
Logically speaking, even if the Jun family colluded with the Nanzhao Kingdom, the training of the paratroopers would not be completed in a day or two.
Besides, where did they come from?
But before everyone could figure it out, another shocking news came from Yunzhou.
The Nanzhao Kingdom fought desperately to resist the Qilin Army, but it was actually an opportunity to open the city gate for the Beirong soldiers who were leaking in from behind.
Previously, the Qilin Army descended from the sky and entered the cities and counties of Yunzhou to help them defend the city gates.
However, it was difficult to predict that the Jun family had other plans for this move.
While the Qilin Army was putting out fires everywhere and organizing people to defend the city, the Jun family was making small moves behind the scenes.
When the people were retreating and huddling together, a large number of unidentified people disguised themselves as ordinary people and mixed in with them.
Although the city gates had been closed one after another at this moment, those people held a large number of civilians hostage and ordered the Qilin Army to open the city gates.
He also spread the word that otherwise the city gates would be opened, allowing the Northern Rong soldiers to enter and massacre the people at the Tianqian Pass.
Otherwise, just wait for them to massacre the entire city of Yunzhou.
Because they had hostages, the Qilin Army was unable to move and was forced to hold on.
But I didn't expect those people to be so cruel.
Seeing that the Qilin Army only dared to defend, he threatened the elders with the lives of some of his children, forcing them to attack the Qilin Army.
Either the Qilin Army dies or they die.
As soon as these words were spoken, Duke Ningguo's face turned gloomy.
Killing someone and destroying their heart.
If the Qilin Army starts shooting and killing civilians, the situation will become even more difficult to control.
But those people were mixed in with the people and could not be eliminated immediately.
Not to mention, the paratroopers hovering in the sky were also targeted and suppressed.
When the Qilin Army soldiers stationed in Yunzhou City were at a loss, something even more worrying happened.
Jun Yao specifically ordered the Qilin Army to hand over Princess Xuanming to the Beirong soldiers in order to calm the Beirong's anger.
And she would also ask the Nanzhao Kingdom to withdraw its troops.
As soon as these words were spoken, Duke Ningguo suppressed them immediately.
It’s not that he is afraid of shaking the people’s hearts, but if these words reach Su Shengsheng’s ears, something unexpected will happen.
But the war is about to break out and the situation has become completely intense.
Jun Yao has lost his disguise and forced the people to attack the Qilin Army in each city.
Anyone who disobeys will be shot to death.
Because it is located at the border, portraits of some wanted criminals are scattered throughout the city gates.
Some people were afraid to confirm it at first.
But when those who burned, killed and looted gathered together, many of them looked exactly like the ones in the portrait.
From this they were certain that those criminals who were roaming around in various countries had gathered in Yunzhou for some unknown reason.
But at this moment, danger is everywhere and everyone is in a panic.
The civilians, whose hands were tied and swords and guns were tightly strapped to their hands, were pushed to the city gate by the criminals behind them.
If they dare to retreat, not only will they be shot, but their wives, children and the elderly will also die.
The Qilin Army soldiers held spears and confronted the rear.
But no one taught them what to do when they encounter ordinary people?
Countless civilians were pushed towards the soldiers, the swords in their hands flashing fiercely.
"What should I do with my head?" a soldier was terrified.
He was asked to kill civilians, something he had never done before.
"Is there any more tear gas?" asked a deputy general in charge of guarding a city gate.
"Gone. He died just now while rescuing the people. Who knew these bastards would come up with this idea?"
Now we can neither retreat nor fight.
What a dilemma!
A soldier looked at the civilians being forced closer and closer and couldn't help crying out, "Don't come any closer."
I don’t know whether it was his fear or his tears that touched the leading few people.
They all stopped.
Several people looked at each other and gritted their teeth, "They came to save us, how can we repay them with hatred?"
"It's just pitiful for the children... wuwu..."
Even though their eyes were filled with fear, they were still unwilling to go any further.
Finally, he cursed loudly, turned around resolutely, and rushed towards the swords and guns that were forcing them.
"Even if I become a ghost, I won't let you go..."
"You won't have a good ending..."
Blood spread like mist...
Rows of people fell to the ground.
The Qilin Army soldiers burst into tears, but immediately rushed forward at the risk of their lives to save the innocent people from the criminals' knives.
"Daughter, are you crazy? The emperor only wants those who betrayed him to pay the price. How can you kill innocent people?"
The head of the Jun family finally arrived in front of Jun Yao.
Looking at the scene in front of me, I was shocked and terrified.
But the only answer he received was a voice carrying an endless chilling wind, drifting across the bleak Yunzhou. "Innocent? Who is innocent?"
Jun Yao waved her hand and asked the soldiers following her to take the head of the Jun family and the young master of the Jun family away.
In Jun Yao's eyes, as long as the people of Yunzhou have blood on their hands, they are no longer innocent.
In this chaotic moment, what no one expected was that Su Shengsheng, who had been strictly blocked from the news, showed up.
Duke Ningguo's eyes turned red. "Madam, don't fall for their schemes. Even if you offer yourself up, they won't let go of such a good opportunity."
Mu Ze was so nervous that he was shaking, "Madam, you can't. If they catch you, they will use you to threaten the general and they won't stop at all."
Su Shengsheng raised her eyes and glanced at the blue sky.
It's almost June, but there's no warmth at all.
"I know. I'm just buying you some time."
Buy time?
But the generals were at a loss. "They can't kill that many people. They have already sent more soldiers to Yunzhou."
It was difficult to distinguish between friend and foe, and even the paratroopers were infiltrated by the enemy.
What’s the point of sending more soldiers?
When the time comes, blood will flow like a river, and it will be a tragedy whether most of the casualties are civilians or soldiers.
"I have made up my mind. Just follow my instructions."
It’s not that Su Shengsheng is arrogant, but she is really helpless.
If Jun Yao had captured her, perhaps there wouldn't have been so many casualties later.
But now it's too late to undo what's done. In order to avoid a greater tragedy, she must take action.
Mu Ze knelt down in an instant, "Madam, please think twice."
The other lieutenants also knelt down in an instant, "Madam, please think twice."
Duke Ningguo wept, "This is absolutely unacceptable."
Su Shengsheng took a deep breath and asked, "Do you believe me?"
The tent was filled with solemnity...
"I know what I'm doing, and I won't be unprepared. Trust me and follow my lead."
Several people's eyes trembled.
But what does this have to do with trusting her?
If they push her out, what's the point of having men like them?
Su Shengsheng exchanged glances with Qing Ran, who was waiting outside, and then said, "Either I paralyze you now and leave the entire army without a commander, or I can deploy the troops."
Their eyes instantly turned to Qingran's hand holding the unknown object, and they fell silent in disbelief.
"Alright, if we delay for a moment longer, the situation will become even more uncontrollable. According to my plan, there is still a chance to save the situation."
The generals remained silent, but all of them resisted.
