At night, Chang'an City opened its east gate. The Rong tribe had besieged the city for several months. This was a rare day when Chang'an City opened its gates.
The Rong army surrounding the city mobilized and opened a passage to the outside.
This place was originally a dead end, but suddenly there was a glimmer of hope tonight.
No one wanted to miss this chance of life. The gate was crowded with people supporting the elderly and the young. Everyone wanted to get closer to the city gate so that they could squeeze out as soon as the city gate opened.
The doors open at midnight and the doors close when the rooster crows, leaving only a few hours for the people in the city to escape.
Everyone knows the style of the Rong tribe, and it is common to massacre a city. Although the imperial list has been issued, indicating that the Rong tribe will not harm the people or take possession of property this time. However, no one is willing to try their luck with their own heads.
Among the people who were leaving the city, the majority were scholars, and there were also many civilians. On the contrary, they were high-ranking officials and nobles, with only a handful of wealthy gentry among them.
The rule set by the Rong people is that no one is allowed to leave the city without any weapons, which naturally includes gold and silver. If they are asked to leave their hard-earned property and leave Chang'an City alone, most people can't do it. What's more, even if they escape the Rong people's
Carrying a large amount of property out of the city during interrogation will inevitably make you fat in the eyes of bandits.
In this way, this group of people can only hope that after the Rong people occupy Chang'an City, they will be merciful and not exploit them too harshly.
The crowd formed a long queue and squeezed through the narrow passage. There were soldiers searching the people leaving the city. However, the soldiers did not check too carefully. After all, there were too many people. If they searched carefully one by one, it would waste a lot of time.
But in the face of female relatives, it is inevitable that they will make fun and be unrestrained. Most of the beautiful women will put some black ash on their faces to deliberately look ordinary. However, they are still inevitably discovered by the searching soldiers, and some are simply dragged into the nearby grassland.
, was ruined by the soldiers.
Regarding this scene, most of the people leaving the city were angry but dared not speak out. The emperor had surrendered, so what could they do.
A young man wearing a scholar's Confucian shirt looked back and saw that under the night, the refugees were like ants, and Chang'an in the distance was like a monster, but he could no longer see clearly clearly.
He couldn't help but burst into tears, fell to his knees on the ground, and cried bitterly facing the direction of Chang'an City.
This attracted more people, and countless people knelt down facing Chang'an City and cried bitterly on the ground.
Even the Rong people were touched by this scene and stared blankly at the scene without stopping.
A woman who had just been raped by soldiers looked at this scene with a cold look in her eyes.
"I made you eggless men, who had the guts to fight to the death with the Rong clan, and cry here. Your parents should regret giving you a manhood."
Every word was like a knife, piercing people's hearts. Some people lowered their heads in shame, not daring to look at this disheveled woman.
A scholar suddenly stood up and bumped into a big tree on the side of the road. His head was bruised and bleeding, and he died.
Da da da
With the rapid and continuous sound of horse hooves, a group of people rushed over from the direction of Chang'an City in the distance.
Before the captain of the Rong clan who was responsible for guarding the passage could hold his weapon, a fast horse galloped in front of him and shot him in the chest.
The smell of blood bloomed in the dark night. This cavalry broke out from the darkness with a determined killing intent. Before anyone could understand what happened, they had already started a head-on confrontation with the guarding Rong tribe.
The Rong people were also extremely careful. The emperor had surrendered and his people were as docile as lambs. At this time, they did not expect that anyone would resist.
Soon, the passage was torn apart, and countless corpses fell to the ground, including soldiers and civilians who were involved in the battlefield.
This group of people headed by Lu Junyi were cruel and ruthless, and would not show mercy to the civilians of the empire in front of them. They just moved forward, forward, and continued to move forward, using the weapons in their hands to open a passage.
When this group of people broke out of the encirclement and galloped into the distance on horseback, many people still did not react.
"Hey, who are you?" Suddenly someone shouted loudly.
In the dark night, the sound was carried far away by the wind, and everyone vaguely heard two words:
Liangzhou.
It is not the Liangzhou controlled by Cheng Dalei, but the Liangzhou guarded by Bailisheng back then. They have been Bailisheng's subordinates from the beginning, and they are not loyal to the empire. Of course, the empire may not be worthy of them.
This time, the empire can surrender, but they will not surrender to the Rong people.
And this time their destination is the land that gave them blood and flesh.
Liangzhou.
…
In the Liangzhou camp, Cheng Dalei was still making arrangements nervously.
The Rong tribe is besieging Chang'an City in front of them, and Chang'an City is estimated to be in a situation where it is out of troops and food. It is obvious that it is a dead game, but how to revitalize it... Cheng Dalei has been thinking hard for many days, but he is still at a loss.
"The great master, the great master..."
Guan Yu hurriedly walked into the big tent, with uncontrollable excitement on his face.
"General Qin has arrived."
Cheng Dalei's face lit up with joy and he quickly asked: "Where is he now?"
"The army is still thirty miles away. General Qin is leading a group of troops to leave first. They are expected to arrive soon."
Cheng Dalei and Guan Yu arrived outside the camp and saw a group of people approaching from a distance. When they got in front of them, they saw clearly that it was Qin Man.
Qin Man dismounted and bowed: "Master, my subordinates are here."
"Okay, okay." Cheng Dalei hurriedly helped him up: "Brother Qin, please get up quickly. Let's go to the house to talk."
Qin Man was led to the temporary command center. In addition to Qin Man, there was also Zhao Zilong. Before everyone sat down, Cheng Dalei couldn't wait to ask: "How many people are here this time?"
Qin Man looked embarrassed and said: "Please don't blame me, sir. I only planned to bring 10,000 people, but General Zhao's Longzi Army also came, with about 20,000 people."
Cheng Dalei looked at Qin Man, then at Zhao Zilong, feeling speechless in his heart.
Everyone in Liangzhou is eager to fight and is looking forward to the opportunity to fight against the Rong tribe. He is not in Liangzhou, and no one can suppress the situation. It is estimated that if Zhao Zilong is strong enough to follow, Qin Man will have nothing to do.
However, this may not necessarily be a good thing. Facing such a powerful enemy as the Rong clan, a mere 10,000 troops probably won't have much effect. Naturally, the more people, the better.
At first, Cheng Dalei was reluctant to mobilize too many people because he was afraid that this place would be a bottomless pit. The people Cheng Dalei had worked so hard to train did not want to get stuck in this place.
"Come when you come. This kind of thing will never happen again."
Seeing that Cheng Dalei did not blame him, Qin Man and Zhao Zilong breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. Qin Man immediately asked: "Master, what do you need us to do?"
Cheng Dalei shook his head: "There is no way to defeat the enemy yet. I have been thinking hard these past few days and I haven't come up with any ideas. But it would be great if you guys are here. After all, we can do more things."
