Chapter 221: The day the city was broken
When Zhu Yaoshi heard the name Ling Yun, his sword hand relaxed and he put the sword on the ground, "Ling Yun? Is Ling Yun reliable? I'm afraid she won't care about me, the emperor who has her under house arrest!"
"If she wanted to run away, she would have run away a long time ago! Your Majesty, it's time now. Don't trust the people you employ! I guarantee with my life and property that General Ling Yun will definitely defend Luoyang City!"
Song Huafu spoke very sincerely. Pharmacist Zhu threw away his sword and took out two shiny military talismans from his arms, "Take them. The Dragon Tooth Guard will all be commanded by you and Ling Yun! I will be waiting for your good news in the palace!"
"
Normally, Song Huafu would not have taken the military talisman, but the matter was urgent and there was no time to think about it. Song Huafu took the military talisman with both hands and ran towards Liuyun Pavilion without even saying thank you.
Before Song Huafu could run a few steps, another voice came from behind: "Master Song, you'd better ride a horse. By the time you run over, the enemy will have already entered the palace."
Huai'en led Zhu Yaoshi's war horse over, and Song Huafu didn't care about any transgression, he directly got on the horse's back and rode away.
Pharmacist Zhu looked at Song Huafu who was walking away, "Do you think they can really stop the enemy and drive them out of the city?"
Wynn quickly replied, "It will definitely be possible. Your Majesty will bring great blessings to the sky, and you will definitely be able to turn disaster into good luck!"
"At this time, you are still telling lies! Your Majesty, the organization has broken out!" This voice sounded very familiar to Zhu Yaoshi, even though he had not heard it for a long time.
Pharmacist Zhu and the eunuchs turned around and saw that Qiu Xingzhi was coming with the Taoist priests on crutches.
Zhu Yaoshi hurriedly helped Qiu Xingzhi, his face full of guilt. Qiu Xingzhi seemed to have seen Zhu Yaoshi's face: "Your Majesty, there is no regret medicine in the world. According to my analysis, it is good for Ling Yun and the others to be able to block it for a day! Your Majesty, hurry up and bring him
People go from the north gate and go to Bianzhou to wait for Marshal Wang to arrive!"
Pharmacist Zhu was a little confused, "Why not go through the east gate?"
"There must be an enemy ambush at the east gate and you can't get out. You can only escape by protruding from the north gate, walking dozens of miles north and then east again!"
"Forget it, running away with my body will only drag you down, so I'd rather stay here and defend to the death. I'd rather fight to the death! It's just that I asked Mr. Qiu to take away my two beloved concubines! Take good care of them!"
Hearing these words, Qiu Xingzhi suddenly felt bad. It seemed that Pharmacist Zhu was terminally ill and did not want to leave.
Qiu Xingzhi wanted to say something else, but Zhu Yaoshi spoke first: "Now is not the time to sigh, you go, I will fight with the soldiers until the last moment!"
Qiu Xingzhi was not a mother-in-law, so he turned to the Taoist priests behind him and said, "Let's all go! Let's disperse!"
But the Taoist priests all looked at Pharmacist Zhu eagerly. Pharmacist Zhu shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Let's all go. I know there is no elixir of life in this world. Let's all go! Wynn, you can also take people with you and follow Mr. Qiu. Everything
Everyone listens to Mr. Qiu’s orders!”
Huaien held Zhu Yaoshi's thigh and cried bitterly. The Taoist priests also started to cry and gradually dispersed. Qiu Xingzhi repeatedly urged, "Women are troublesome, and half a woman like you is also troublesome! Go quickly, it will be too late!"
Pharmacist Zhu touched Huaien's head and said, "Let's go, take good care of the two concubines, and share all the gold and silver in the palace with the eunuchs and maids!"
The funeral arrangements were already being made, and the eunuchs nearby burst into tears. While crying, they ran to the harem to find gold, silver and jewelry.
Huaien reluctantly stood up and helped Qiu Xingzhi to leave, when there was a commotion behind him. He turned around and saw that Song Huafu had arrived with Ling Yun and other soldiers.
Neither of them got off
Ma Lingyun, dressed in red armor, clasped his fists and saluted, "Your Majesty, the entire city's soldiers and civilians are fighting to the death. Please don't give up easily! Your Majesty is in the capital, and the capital will definitely be defended!"
Pharmacist Zhu looked at the Dragon Tooth Guard behind Ling Yun and immediately raised his sword, "I won't leave. I will defend Luoyang City with you all! Marshal Wang is coming soon!"
Qiu Xingzhi secretly screamed, "Why bother?" Then he turned around and shouted, "I, Blind Qiu, won't leave either! If the Wei Dynasty is gone, where can I go?"
Ling Yun turned around and said, "Everyone, go kill the thieves!" The red cloak behind him rose in the air, like a sunset on the horizon.
Ling Yun was not Zhu Yaoshi's confidant, but this time he worked so hard. Although Song Huafu recommended her with his wealth and life, it was just a gamble to seek medical advice due to his illness.
Song Huafu followed Ling Yun on horseback and couldn't help shouting, "General Ling, thank you very much!"
This was a thank you, and Ling Yun understood very well, "Sir Song, would you rather have intact eggs if the nest is overturned? I have been under house arrest in Liuyun Pavilion for several years. No matter how bad I am, I am still the Marquis of Huai'an who has nothing but clothes and food to open! If the thieves take over the capital,
Where can I go to be the Marquis of Huai'an? Besides, I'm still waiting for someone!"
Song Huafu also had eyes all over Wei State, and the matter between Ling Yun and Zhong Zhiming was no secret. He immediately said, "General Ling, after retreating from the enemy this time, I will definitely urge you to marry General Zhong in front of the emperor! Let you lead him in a glorious way."
Return to Huainan with the royal wedding ceremony!"
"Thank you, Lord Song. Lord Song, if you go forward to Swordsman Without Eyes, you'd better return to His Majesty!"
Song Huafu had seen the power of the Tuyuhun Ghost Sheep Rider, and immediately reined in his horse and stopped: "General Ling, take care!"
Ling Yun did not answer, but raised his hammers and rushed towards the west gate, followed closely by three thousand dragon tooth guards, which were Zhu Yaoshi's last assets.
The Ghost Sheep Cavalry who broke into the west gate did not rush to break through, but searched and killed every house step by step, blatantly plundering money and massacring the people on the pretext of stabilizing the victory.
But after struggling for a long time, apart from killing many innocent people, all they got were some clothes and scattered money.
Murong Yuanzhong led the Chinese army to the west gate and immediately killed more than ten ghost sheep riders. "Idiot! Who asked you to massacre the people! The target is the imperial palace! There are countless rare treasures where the Emperor of the Central Plains is!"
Only then did the Guiyangqi react and rushed towards the imperial city in a swarm. The people in the city also spontaneously came over with bricks, tiles and sticks.
The common people who had previously imagined that everything would be fine as long as they closed the door, now knew that Tuyuhun's army would kill anyone on sight, so it was better to fight even if it meant death.
The Ghost Sheep Riders were well-equipped and strong, and their horses were also wrapped in armor. After a burst of killing, they killed countless people and continued to march to the imperial city on their corpses. They happened to run into the Dragon Tooth Guards led by Ling Yun.
The Dragon Tooth Guards first threw their spears together. Thousands of spears rushed towards the Ghost Sheep Cavalry, but most of them were blocked by the special armor on the Ghost Sheep Rider. Only a few of them were stuck in the war horses or fell off their necks.
The Dragon Tooth Guards were about to throw a second round, but Ling Yun immediately stopped him, "Stop throwing spears! Shoot them down with the back of your sword! Their armor can't cut them, knock their heads, hit their necks! Try every means
Knock them off their horses!"
Ling Yun took the lead and rushed over with his hammers, and both sides fought in a battle on the street two miles away from the imperial city.
The special swords of the Ghost Sheep Cavalry cannot cut through, and the Dragon Tooth Guards are also warriors wearing heavy armor. The strength of both sides is evenly matched, and the fight is inseparable.
Seeing that the ghost sheep rider was blocked by the dragon tooth guards, the people in the city waved their hands again.
Bricks and sticks came, and Guiyangqi suffered a big loss.
The cavalry couldn't charge, and they were either chopped down or thrown to the ground by others. The number of both sides was almost the same, but once the common people came, the balance of victory tilted towards the Dragon Tooth Guards.
Armor cannot cut people, but stones, bricks and sticks can knock people unconscious. Once they are knocked unconscious, they will be dragged away and beaten to death.
Murong Yuanzhong's Chinese army was stuck in the back. They tried to rush in several times, but were blocked by the flow of people. Although the people did not have swords and guns in their hands, countless bricks and tiles fell from the roofs, making it impossible for the army to rush in.
Murong Yuanzhong looked at the situation in front of him, glared and ordered, "Burn! Burn it for me! Burn it all! Light the fire! People in front of me, get out!"
"Prime Minister, Guiyangqi is fighting with the enemy and cannot retreat!"
"Burn them together! They are warriors who sacrificed their lives for their country!"
Murong Yuanzhong gave the order. Although the soldiers hesitated, they did not dare to disobey and soon lit torches and set the house on fire.
Tuyuhun's soldiers continued to throw wet grass and horse dung into the fire, making it filled with smoke. At this time, the west wind blew, and most of the smoke rushed to the imperial city.
Thick smoke rose and fire shot into the sky. The people who were fighting coughed one after another. Many people dropped their weapons and covered their mouths and noses to run for their lives.
Many people fighting to the death fainted together and never woke up.
Ling Yun saw Zhong Zhiming walking towards her in a daze, but she couldn't see clearly. She tried hard to open her eyes, but he fell off the horse lightly.
Both Zhu Yaoshi and Song Huafu in the palace saw the fire in the city. Song Huafu lowered his head and said nothing, but Zhu Yaoshi patted him on the shoulder. "Old Song, isn't it just a defeat? Isn't it just that a city cannot be defended?"
Tie Zhu and Wu Ji will fight back!"
Song Huafu had a sore nose and choked up, "I feel that the people in this city are so miserable. Many of them followed us from Jinling to Luoyang, but ended up like this. I feel sorry for them!"
Pharmacist Zhu was speechless. He had long forgotten about the people. In the past few years, he only took pills and had fun with his two concubines. Not to mention that he didn't care about the lives of ordinary people. Even these ministers and generals, he didn't care.
There had been chaos in the palace for a long time. The eunuchs and maids tentatively took away some items at first, but now they have called for carriages and horses to move them.
In this city, which is like a Shura field, some people rose up in resistance and resigned themselves to death, while others took their families and fled early, but there were always some extraordinary people who were still focused on making a fortune at this time.
Pharmacist Zhu glanced at the busy crowd and remembered that his two beloved concubines had probably fled for their lives long ago.
Song Huafu pointed at the people carrying supplies and said, "Come here!"
Pharmacist Zhu blocked his finger and said, "Forget it! Everyone has his own ambitions! Rather than being robbed by Tuyuhun's army, it is better to take advantage of his own people! Old Song, let's go find a pot of wine. There is nothing we can do now."
, it’s better to get drunk and then rest!”
Song Huafu smiled bitterly and said, "Okay, okay, okay, come on, come on, come on! Go get some wine!"
The voice was shouted loudly, but no one responded.
"Stop shouting, Old Song. They are all gone. Let's go get it ourselves. Let's go!" Zhu Yaoshi pulled Song Huafu and walked towards the Youzang warehouse.
Outside the Youzang Storehouse, there were also many eunuchs, maids, and people who usually supplied supplies to the palace. At this time, they were all busy carrying the few grains, wine, meat, cloth, and silk that were left in the Youzang Storehouse.
