Chapter 294 Great Victory
One civilian was killed on the city wall every hour, and the civilians closest to the city gate fled elsewhere, fearing that their turn would be the next after those in front of them were killed.
The news spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred, and people fled towards the city center. The streets were still brightly lit in the middle of the night and were filled with people pushing and shoving each other.
"Go to the north gate, go to the north gate." The young and strong men spontaneously organized the people to evacuate.
There were too many people, and there were cries, shouts, and shoves everywhere.
"Don't push, you're stepping on people!"
"Oh my child."
The man grabbed the collar of a man who was pushing forward and said, "If you keep pushing me, I'll throw you out to the city gate."
The common people rushed to the north gate.
But the north gate was closed and the soldiers were guarding the city gate tightly.
"Let us out."
One stone caused a thousand waves, and the crowd erupted with this shout.
"Let us out!"
"Open the door!"
"We don't want to die here!"
The soldiers guarding the city were pushed to the city gate, and the people were still shouting and pushing forward.
"Don't f**king move forward. If you do, we won't be polite to you." The soldier drew his sword.
"Murder!" someone in the crowd shouted.
The soldiers guarding the city saw that they could not suppress the people, and they shouted anxiously: "Go and inform the Marquis that there is chaos at the north gate, send troops over immediately."
Marquis Xuanping was sitting in the palace when he heard the constant noise outside.
"My Lord, there is a riot at the North Gate. The people are fighting with our soldiers guarding the city."
Xuanping Hou's old eyes were bloodshot. "Send the troops over there. Whoever dares to lead the riot will be killed directly."
The north was in turmoil, but the south gate was unusually quiet.
Some soldiers were leaning against the city wall and taking a nap, while others were chatting.
"It's a good thing we weren't sent to the north gate."
"It doesn't matter which gate it is. Xie Tingzhou will get in sooner or later. It's just a matter of living two days longer or two days less."
"I haven't married yet, and I've never hugged a woman. I heard that she's very fragrant and soft when I hug her."
"I still have a mother at home."
They both sighed at the same time.
"How did you end up joining the army?"
"My family's land was taken by the local gentry, and two of my brothers starved to death. My mother told me to join the army, saying that there would be food to eat, but I didn't know where to join, ah..."
The soldier looked up and said, "It would be nice if I could go back and see my mother."
Xiao Chuan disappeared into the darkness, and put the dagger in his hand back into his waist. He made a gesture to the people behind him, and they passed the knife to the back.
There was a faint movement on the ground.
The soldier who was chatting stopped and listened carefully. "What's that sound?"
The soldier pressed against the city wall, "It looks like there's someone there."
The soldier's face changed, and he turned around and was about to shout when a rope was silently tightened around his neck.
"Shut up if you want to go back to see your mother." The man whispered in his ear.
The soldiers on the city wall suddenly shouted, "Qingyun Guards! Qingyun Guards have sneaked into the city!"
"Fuck!" Xiao Chuan cursed, "I am from the Phoenix Armor Army!"
What Xiao Chuan wanted was a time difference. If all the people of Xuanping Hou were led to the north gate, the time for rescue would be prolonged.
He pushed the soldier away and climbed up the city wall with a knife in hand. The two sides started fighting in a moment.
"Bring him to open the door!" Xiao Chuan shouted while killing.
The Marquis of Xuanping was standing under the eaves when he saw the soldiers galloping towards him. "My Lord! South Gate! There's fighting at the South Gate!"
"What?!" Marquis Xuanping took a step forward, "Quick! Transfer some of the soldiers at the north gate to the south gate."
There were shouts of killing at the South Gate, and the heavy city gate was slowly lifted up. The sound of horse hooves came from far away and came from the end of the long street. Those were the reinforcements dispatched by Marquis Xuanping.
"Hold on!" Xiao Chuan shouted with a knife in hand.
Just hold on a moment longer, just a moment.
In front of Xiaochuan were the enemy troops rushing towards him, and behind the open city gate were the reinforcements rushing in.
Marquis Xuanping mounted his horse.
"My Lord!" the soldier shouted, "It's too late! The South Gate has been breached!"
Xuanping Hou stopped his horse.
The first batch of light cavalry rushed into the city gate like a shuttle and rushed towards the flames in the city.
Xiao Chuan pressed his shoulder against the city gate, spat out the blood in his mouth, and raised his head and shouted:
"Great victory——!"
…
A sudden rain came and went, but the weather didn't get much cooler.
It was the autumn harvest season, and good news of bumper harvests from all over the country were flying to Weizhou like snowflakes.
Changliu sat under the eaves and Sixi sat next to him.
Fortunately, Si Xi's injuries were not serious. The assassin's knife stabbed his shoulder bone and the wound was not deep.
Changliu stroked the turtle's back, wondering what the little prince in the princess's belly looked like.
"I heard that babies look like monkeys when they are born. I wonder if the baby the princess gives birth to will be as cute as a little turtle?"
Si Xi looked at Chang Liu in silence and said, "Don't let the prince hear this, or he might make you mute with the medicine."
"Why?" Changliu was puzzled.
Just as Si Xi was about to explain, he looked up and saw a man striding towards the gate of the courtyard. He happily pushed Chang Liu.
"Hurry up and tell the prince and princess that General Shen is back."
Chen Zhao was sweating all over as he ran, with an unconcealable smile on his face. He took off his armor as he walked, and a maid followed him to catch the armor he threw to her.
After the war, he received a letter from Xie Tingzhou, saying that he was going to be an uncle.
Naturally, Chen Zhao was overjoyed. This year had been full of happy events. He was going to be both a father and an uncle. He took the military report of the great victory and rushed to Weizhou. It took him two whole days and he even changed three horses.
As soon as I reached the door, it was opened from the inside.
Chen Zhao looked at Xie Tingzhou at the door and asked, "Where is Ayu?"
"Inside." Xie Tingzhou said.
Shen Zhao was about to move sideways to walk in, but just as he took a step, he was blocked by Xie Tingzhou.
"What are you doing?" Shen Zhao asked in surprise.
Xie Tingzhou frowned slightly, "Are you going to meet her like this?"
Chen Zhao looked down at himself. Apart from being exhausted, he didn't see any problem. "No?"
Xie Tingzhou said: "She has been very sensitive to smells recently, smell yourself first."
Shen Zhao raised his arm and sniffed it, "No smell."
The maid was holding the armor and smiling with her hand covering her mouth.
Chen Zhao sniffed again, but still couldn't smell anything, so he simply pulled Chang Liu over, hooked his neck and asked, "Chang Liu, what do I smell like?"
Chang Liu pinched his nose in pain, "General Shen, did you fall into the pit?"
