The Yuzhou military camp fell into complete chaos and madness!
Zheng Chen swung his sword and killed two of his loyal guards, killing and wounding two of them in order to protect his safety. There were only three people left, protecting him as he ran out of the military camp.
After running out of the military camp, the fire in the city came into view.
Who set the fire first?
Why did the fire spread so quickly?
The faint cries of the people seemed to be mixed with some strange movements.
Peng Sihai was the first to hear that something was wrong. His face turned pale and he whispered urgently: "It must be someone from the Yingwei camp who climbed over the city wall at night and sneaked into the city to set fire and kill people."
< br>
The city gate of Yuzhou is heavily defended and cannot be attacked. But the Yuzhou city wall is not built to eight feet everywhere, there are always some low places. While General Zuo sent people to attack the city, he also sent people to explore outside the city wall during the day and found a low place suitable for climbing. It is extremely possible for a group of elite soldiers to climb into the city wall in the middle of the night to set fire to cause chaos and disturb the morale and morale of the army.
The other two guards also eagerly echoed: "It's no longer safe in Yuzhou City. Let's protect the young master and escape from the north gate!"
"Sir, we can no longer defend Yuzhou here. Let's leave quickly! If we hesitate any longer, I'm afraid we will be completely trapped in the city and we won't be able to escape even if we want to."
Zheng Chen stopped and turned to look at the military camp. Under the roar of the bombing of the camp, the shouts of killing and the sound of swords in the military camp could be clearly heard.
Turning around to look at the inner city, flames shot into the sky, as if the entire Yuzhou City was on fire.
Going towards the north city gate, it was quite quiet. At first glance, the dark road stretches deep into the depths, as if it is leading to hell...
The buzzing sound kept echoing in my ears.
Zheng Chen numbly turned his head again and looked at Peng Sihai and the others. They all looked anxious and kept talking. The strange thing was that he couldn't hear anything.
There seemed to be a magical force that sealed him into a strange space. It made him completely separated from reality.
Peng Sihai's heart skipped a beat when he saw his young master's eyes were so bright.
broken! The young master is sick again!
At this time, the young master can no longer listen to anything he says!
Peng Sihai was so anxious that he suddenly reached out and pointed in front of him: "What's over there?"
Zheng Chen looked in the direction of his finger and accidentally got hit on the back of his head. His vision went dark and he fainted.
The other two guards exclaimed: "Peng Sihai! What are you doing?"
"Why did you attack the young master? Are you crazy?"
Peng Sihai quickly carried his young master on his back: "It's too late to explain to you. It's too dangerous here! Let's take the young master and escape from the city gate first!"
Peng Sihai has always been the commander of the young master's bodyguards, and the bodyguards are accustomed to obeying his orders. Seeing Peng Sihai running away with the young master on his back, he didn't say anything more and immediately rushed out.
They were not the only ones who fled to the north city gate. There are also some common people. These people came running from the fire, crying and shouting.
"Grandpa God! Open your eyes and take a look! What have we done wrong to end up in this situation?"
"My wife and daughter were all snatched away, my son was dragged to the city wall and died, and now I am the only old man left. How can I still live!"
In fact, anyone who can think of running to the North City Gate is considered smart.
Peng Sihai didn't want to stand out and attract attention, so he simply mingled with this group of common people. While they were running for their lives in a hurry, no one dared to provoke the four of them. Zheng Chen was unconscious and lying on Peng Sihai's back, but there were two other guards with long knives. They were so murderous that they didn't even dare to look at him, let alone provoke him. In this way, about twenty or thirty people ran all the way north. There was no danger on the way, and they rushed to the north city gate.
On weekdays, when it gets dark, the city gate will be closed. Tonight, the North City Gate was opened unknown when, and the soldiers guarding the city disappeared. In all likelihood, they opened the city gate and escaped with the previous deserters.
Peng Sihai cursed a few words in his mind, and without thinking about the danger behind the city gate, he mingled with the people and rushed out of the city gate.
As soon as he left the city gate, Peng Sihai knew something was wrong.
There were no torches outside the city gate, and the light was dim. Only through the sparse starlight in the sky could we roughly see a group of imperial soldiers waiting in full formation.
There is no way to count how many people there are. In short, it will not be less than a few hundred people. One by one, they were holding spears and knives. The leading general said coldly: "Everyone put their heads in their hands and squat down!"
The ordinary people who fled here were frightened and subconsciously followed the order and squatted down with their heads in their hands.
Peng Sihai reacted quickly, turned around and ran away, and the other two guards followed suit without saying a word.
As a result, it naturally quickly attracted the attention of the military men.
"There are big fish! Don't let them get away!"
The sound of dense footsteps sounded, and a group of strong men chased over without saying a word. The leader was a middle-aged general. He is tall, with dark complexion and cold eyes.
It was Song Yuan.
This plan to break the city was decided by General Zuo yesterday. They attacked fiercely during the day and sent elite soldiers to sneak into the city and set fire to it at night. Then he stood guard outside the city gate, waiting for chaos in the city and someone to flee.
Song Yuan watched the battle for many days, and he and the emperor's personal guards under his command never took action. Today I took the initiative to take on this task and guarded it outside the North City Gate.
Because Song Yuan never interfered with the army's fighting and respected himself enough, General Zuo naturally agreed to Song Yuan's request. As a result, Song Yuan caught a real big fish as soon as he arrived.
There were only four people on the other side, and one of them was unconscious and was being carried away. There are only two who can really take action. Song Yuan led more than a hundred people to chase him out, and he caught up without even taking a cup of tea. In just a few encounters, this group of people was captured.
After lighting up the torch and shining a light, someone in the bodyguard immediately shouted in surprise: "Commander Song, it's Zheng Chen, the traitor!"
Song Yuan, who had always kept his emotions in check, was perked up when he heard the amazing news. He strode over and glanced at Peng Sihai's face first.
Peng Sihai was Zheng Chen's confidant and followed Zheng Chen in and out of the palace every day. Song Yuan and Peng Sihai met each other several times, and they recognized each other at a glance.
Peng Sihai's hands and feet were twisted, unable to move, and the young man on his back was as motionless as a dead fish. He was lifted down by a bodyguard and laid on his back.
It is indeed Zheng Chen!
Song Yuan's eyes flashed with joy, but he put the knife into the scabbard without taking action. He reached out to pick up Zheng Chen and slapped him hard in the face.
This heavy slap will wake up even a dead person.
Zheng Chen opened his eyes in confusion, and what came into view was a very familiar man's face.
"Mr. Zheng," Song Yuan's voice was colder than his eyes: "Long time no see." (End of Chapter)
