Du Bo was shocked when he saw this from behind. He had never seen such martial arts before and hurriedly turned back to see Zhao Tuo.
Zhao Tong narrowed his eyes. This was a method that could only be used by the sixth path of the sky transformation. This Fang Qifu actually practiced the sixth path of the sky transformation!
I thought you were on the third floor, who knew you were on the sixth floor!
In that case... what about Fang La?
I thought he was on the sixth floor, but which floor was he on?
Zhao Tong took a deep breath and ordered: "Open the city gate!"
The inner city gate had been quietly blocked before. Fang Qifu opened the gap and escaped, but others could not get out. At this time, everyone exerted their strength together, and with a "crunching" sound, the city gate was pushed open.
I saw dead bodies on the ground outside, all of them soldiers guarding the city gate. They were obviously beaten to death by Fang Qifu when he went out.
At this moment, most of the thieves who rushed into the inner city have been killed, and the rest are mostly in the outer city, about 30,000 to 40,000 people. The traps and ambush in the outer city have already begun, and the cries of killing can be heard everywhere.
Zhang Xian said: "Your Majesty, it seems that people from the other three cities have also come to support us."
Zhao Tong nodded. The thousand-jin gate at the Jiangdong Gate of Xicheng should have been lowered now. Now that the troops from the other three cities are coming again, it will be a situation where the enemy is behind closed doors to catch thieves. However, after all, there are enough people on the other side, so it is estimated that there will be chaos for a while. .
Zhao Tong looked ahead and saw that under the bright moon, torches were shining everywhere, the sound of horse hooves could be heard incessantly, the sound of arrows piercing the air was astonishing and courageous, shouts and curses were mixed together, and the air of the spring night was filled with the smell of blood. .
He said calmly: "Follow me to hunt down Fang Qifu..."
In the inner city, Wu Song walked out from the gate of the last noble family in the west city, carrying a pair of bloody swords.
The entire mansion was slaughtered, no chickens or dogs were left behind, blood flowed into rivers, his expression was a little numb, and there was compassion on his usually resolute face.
Those who should be killed and those who should not be killed were killed. Before leaving the city, Zhao Tong explained that all the nobles would be killed, and the servants would be killed according to the situation.
But there was chaos and it was night, so how could we tell much? What's more, he's already red-eyed!
Or like a battlefield, where do the many good and evil principles come from?
It is inevitable to kill in vain, it is inevitable to bleed, and it is inevitable to sacrifice!
Maybe if you soften your heart, be kind, and kill fewer people, you may end up with thousands of people from home in disaster, with corpses filling the fields, blood flowing like a sea, and the country and family destroyed.
There have been countless such things since ancient times.
If Fu Chai kills Gou Jian, how can the state of Wu destroy the king and die?
If Zhao killed Ying Yiren, how could Ying Zheng rule the world? Destroy the six kingdoms!
And when three families perished in the Qin Dynasty, at the banquet at Hongmen, all the gorgeous people gathered together to cook wine and talk about heroes. Isn't this the case!
Wu Song took a deep breath. He didn't know these truths, but at this moment, he had already killed them all, and it was useless to think about them.
He followed Shi Bao's vanguard team into the inner city, then separated and joined the Green Willow Village cultists who were secretly monitoring the nobles' mansions, killing all the thirteen noble families in the West City.
Luo Jinshui followed from behind. His whole body was trembling, his expression was frozen, the muscles on his face were stiff, and there was no emotion in his voice, "Erlang, where else are you going?"
Wu Song glanced at him: "Drop the Mingjiao tokens, evacuate this place immediately, change clothes and hide for now."
Luo Jinshui nodded numbly, then called the Green Willow Village believers, taking advantage of the commotion everywhere at night, to stay away from here...
As for the north and east cities, Duanmu could lead more than 3,000 followers in the west city, and the attack took place later in the evening than the Luliu Village believers in the west city. It was probably around 3:00 a.m. when there was a big chaos in the west city. After the north city and the east city sent troops to support, He then ordered Jiangning to act separately.
Duanmu Neng could not be more excited. He originally had some doubts in his heart. The city of Jiangning was high and solid, and there were the Imperial Guards stationed there. How could it be easy to cooperate inside and outside and fight in? But when he thought about it carefully, he saw that there was Master Zuo Envoy outside and Master Right Envoy inside. With these two great leaders gathered in Jiangning, there was no doubt that there was really a way to open the city gate.
Sure enough, not long after midnight, I heard vague noises coming from the west, and after a while, I could hear some shouts of killing. Although the north and east sides were far away from the west city, it was night after all, and the city There were many people in the desert, and the voices gradually came through.
The sounds of mobilizing troops and horses in the north and east cities, and the sounds of galloping on the streets, were all noticed by the people in Jiangning Branch. Duanmu Neng was immediately overjoyed. It seemed that the gate to the west city had indeed opened, and the Holy Army entered from that side. City, troops were sent from the north and east to support.
He took this opportunity to lead his men and kill them. In order to support Xicheng, the defenders who had divided areas under martial law on the streets in these two directions, including South City, had been transferred. After all, the soldiers guarding the city did not dare to move. We can mobilize these people to go there.
In this way, Duanmu was able to lead more than 3,000 men under his command, and rushed into the gentry's mansion in several groups to kill him. No one expected that this would happen, and the gentry's homes were also protected by guards. Who would have thought that this would happen? There are people who are so bold and dare to take advantage of the chaos to kill big clans like them. Everything is impossible to guard against.
It is not easy to save people in this world, but it is too easy to kill people. It is like building a building is difficult, but destroying a building is easy. What's more, it is calculated deliberately and unintentionally, calculating in the dark and openly.
It didn't take much time at all for the Jiangning branch's believers to kill all the nobles' houses. However, they were not like the Green Liuzhuang believers who had received Zhao Tao's order and immediately withdrew after killing the people, changed their clothes and hid.
After they killed someone, they were originally hesitant to leave, but there were too many good things in these noble houses. In addition, the shouts of killing in the West City were endless, and they all thought that it would not be long before the Holy Army came to kill them. here.
So the believers from the Jiangning branch began to move things. At first it was just ordinary silver coins. Later, when they saw gold and jewelry, they gave up the silver coins and began to move around these more valuable things. As for antique calligraphy and paintings, these The believers didn't recognize them, and many of them were smashed and damaged.
But how could it be so easy to move away the wealth accumulated by these noble families over generations? Whether they are fleeing to Jiangning or they are wealthy locals in Jiangning, their treasures are countless. Just the gold, silver, pearls, jade, and agate treasures would take dozens of carts to transport for a family, and they would not be able to transport them all in a short time.
Just as they were dumping these things, the defenders of the two cities realized something was wrong. After all, the believers not only killed people and made noise, but also set fires. The fires were bright at night, and you could see them clearly from the top of the city.
The soldiers guarding the two cities in the north and east include not only the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army, but also the local Forbidden Army soldiers in Jiangning. Many of the generals have a close relationship with the local nobles, and some are even related by marriage.
They were all frightened. If something happened to the noble family, it would be shocking, so they hurried to Zheke Cun to report it.
Zhe Kecun was in charge of the defenses on both sides of the city. He had already warned secretly about the chaos in the West City before. Jiangning was so strong that the rebels would never break through it in such a short time, and it was even more impossible at night. He had already determined that the city There must be a spy, and only by coordinating the inside and the outside can the city gate be opened and the thieves enter.
He sent troops and horses to support, but he was still uneasy in his heart. Since the other party could cooperate with the inside and outside to open the city gate, how could he not cause some trouble in the city?
Just when Zhe Kecun was worried, these Jiangning local generals came to report in a panic, and he was immediately shocked and jumped up from his chair.
Zhe Kecun originally looked like a white-faced scholar, and he always liked to use a folding fan to make a suave figure. He imitated Zhang Zifang from the Han Dynasty, who was calm and unfazed by changes, and had a deep mind. He was able to strategize and achieve victory thousands of miles away.
But what happened now was really shocking. A high-ranking noble family was set on fire, and there were still vague noises. Is this okay?
Although he was born as a general, what is a general? To put it bluntly, it is also a kind of aristocratic family!
Moreover, his Zhe family was one of the top general families in the north. There were only a few surnames in the northern part of the Song Dynasty that could rival his Zhe family, but they were also headed by his Zhe family.
Although the northern generals and the southern nobles are somewhat different in nature, it does not prevent him from knowing what the so-called nobles are!
The family has great wealth, and it is complicated to be an official from generation to generation, and the in-laws are intertwined.
A Jiangnan noble family would be most of the court!
Nowadays, most of the Jiangnan nobles are in the city. If something happens to these people, the sky will be broken. This is such a rhythm that the earth will collapse!
Zhe Kecun had not dared to leave his post without authorization before and went to Xicheng to provide support. However, he was in charge of Dongcheng and North City, so he could not ignore anything that happened in Dongcheng or North City. This was his responsibility.
When he thought of the seriousness of this matter, stars flashed in front of his eyes. He directly ordered the soldiers and rushed down to the nobleman's residence.
When I looked at it, I almost fainted. I saw that every household was killed with blood flowing everywhere. The corpses were lying on the ditch. There were many people wearing demon sect clothes happily transporting property outside.
Originally, these noble families had guards in their homes, and even if some mobs collided with each other, they could not do anything about it. Therefore, he was not worried about the chaos in the West City before, but now he was negligent. There were actually followers of the Demon Cult in the city. Hide.
Zhe Kecun almost vomited blood and secretly shouted that a wise man must make a mistake after all his considerations. Why didn't he think about the demon cult disciples? From this point of view, the people who opened the city gate at the west city must be demons who sneaked into the army. Teach the people!
He immediately ordered a massacre, but after all, he did not completely lose his mind. He still captured some people alive, tied them with chains, and beat their teeth with wooden sticks. Then he searched for survivors in various mansions, but although the nobles The house was big, but it had been turned upside down by the people of the Ming Cult. There was no living person anywhere. In the end, I had no choice but to rummage through the pile of dead people. Only then did I find two people with weak breaths and hurriedly rescued them...
At this time, Zhao Tong was leading Du Bo and Zhang Xian all over the west city looking for Fang Qifu.
Fang Qifu abandoned his horse inside the city gate. Not too far away, he saw the armor and the Jiufeng Mingguang Sword thrown on the ground in front of him. Obviously, Fang Qifu didn't even want the armor and the soldiers.
Zhao Tong frowned and thought. Fang Qifu was obviously bent on escaping. Judging from his abandonment of armor, he probably didn't even intend to take the remaining soldiers in the outer city.
There were originally 30,000 to 40,000 thieves in the outer city. Although many of them had been ambushed and shot at this moment, being able to abandon these people at the drop of a hat shows that Fang Qifu made quick decisions and could not change his mind immediately. He was really very kind-hearted. Spicy, heroic style.
Zhao Tong looked gloomy and wondered in his heart, where could Fang Qifu go in this vast West City?
Since he has given up on these thieves, there is no way he plans to escape from the city gate. Otherwise, wouldn't it be the best way to lead troops to rush through the gate?
If he didn't rush through the door, where else could he leave Jiang Ning?
Going to the top of Jiangning City is also a way. As long as he has something like a flying scratching rope on him and someone to cover him, he can fight to the top of the city with all his strength. With tools and martial arts, he may not be able to climb down from the city.
But it was extremely dangerous. Let’s not talk about whether he could run to the top of the city. Even if he could, when arrows were fired and wood and rocks were smashed when he crossed the city, where could he run? If you don't get beaten to death, you will fall to death.
Therefore, escaping from the city is unlikely.
It is impossible to find a place to hide. After all, there are more than 100,000 troops outside. If he does not go back tonight and puts a fake human head on the city tomorrow and shouts that Fang Qi Buddha has prostrated himself, then these 100,000 troops will probably directly affect people's hearts. If they are too lazy, even if they don't attack them, they will all be defeated in a few days.
Fang Qifu must be running away, but where to go? Zhao Tong was talking to himself, and suddenly an idea came to his mind, and he thought of Lianaza's method of escaping from Tokyo.
Walking through the water gate, Liyanaza walked through the watergate at that time. At that time, the watergate just closed the wooden gate, and Liyanaza got out from underneath.
At this moment, although all three water gates in Jiangning are fully closed, there is still a chance of escape.
As long as the water quality is good enough and you have a weapon that can cut iron like mud, escaping from the water gate is far safer and more reliable than jumping from the city wall.
Can Fang Qifu know water? Growing up in a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, one must know how to use water. As for the nature of water, Zhao Zhu could not tell, but Fang Qifu was a master, and the breath-holding time itself would be far longer than that of ordinary people. As long as he knew a little bit about water, it would be comparable to that of accumulated Old Fu!
As for Fang Qifu, a weapon that can cut iron like clay? There will definitely be one. As the left envoy of the Ming Cult, and he has led an army to capture so many cities, it is absolutely impossible if he does not have a treasure weapon in his hand.
And in this way, you only need to dive into the water, use the treasure weapon to cut the wooden fence and cut the iron gate, and you can escape from the city. Even if the treasure weapon is not powerful, Fang Qifu, with his master's martial arts, can open it in the mud under the door. After exiting the passage, he used the Sky Transformer to shrink his bones and twist his muscles, and he escaped.
When he thought of this, Zhao Tong immediately said: "Go to the water gate of the Qinhuai River!"
If he wants to leave the city through the water gate, Fang Qifu will definitely not choose some narrow water gate, but will definitely choose the largest one, because only the big one can be easily sneaked in, and it is also convenient to hide in case of danger.
Although the people behind them didn't know why they were going there, they all shouted "Get the order" and the team headed straight for the water gate of the Qinhuai River.
At this time, the West Outer City was still in flames of war. After their team killed two groups of thieves on the road, they came to the southwestern city of Jiangning.
The Qinhuai River leaves Jiangning from the southwest. This place is called Huaifang Gate. It is an independent water gate. It is quite wide, several times as wide as the Lu Gate.
From a distance, Zhao Tong could see several people running towards the water gate in front of him. There were not many soldiers guarding the water gate, several times less than the soldiers at the Lu gate. After all, the three water protection lines had been closed. For ordinary people, even if no one is watching, it is nothing to live by.
What's more, there are no steps such as urns on both sides of the water gate to climb the city wall, and there is no gate tower above, so it doesn't need too many people to guard it.
At this time, I saw a few people running straight towards Minato. Their figures were elegant, their footwork was nimble, and their martial arts skills were extraordinary at first glance. They didn't care about the soldiers shouting and asking, and they easily dodged when the soldiers fired bows and arrows. When they got close, they rushed directly into the army and killed nearly a hundred people in a short time.
Zhao Tong's team was not far away at this time. He raised his eyebrows and shouted on his horse: "Envoy Zuo, please don't leave in a hurry. Let Li give you a ride!"
The few people turned a deaf ear and saw one of them jump directly into the water. The remaining people stood on the shore and made a cover.
Zhao Tong's face was ugly, and he took Du Bo and Zhang Xian to get closer in a few more breaths. He saw the waves rolling on the water and disappearing beside the first wooden gate.
He immediately ordered to the rear: "Fire arrows into the river!" Then he jumped off the horse.
The leader on the shore was a short, fat man who was not dressed in a vulgar way. He was holding a naked long sword with a yellow handle, and his face showed a lot of hatred: "Your Majesty Li, there is no way to catch up with the marshal if Bao is here." !”
Zhao Tong snorted coldly: "Bao Dao B?"
The short and fat man said: "It's Bao!"
Zhao Tong didn't say anything after hearing this. A cold light flashed in his hand, and Mo Xie's sword was already in his hand.
