"Lord City Lord, it's not good. The Han army besieged the city and fired strange stone cannons into the city. Now the people in the city are in panic. Please come up with an idea~~"
In the city lord's palace, after learning of the changes in the city, Sita Yin and the others were as anxious as ants on a hot pot.
"What should I do? What can I do? There are Han troops watching from outside and mobs rioting inside. Why has the situation become like this..."
Si Taiyin was about to cry. Seeing the city lord like this, the other bureaucrats and nobles in the city lord's palace also looked like the end was coming, and they all started to cry.
This group of nobles usually act arrogantly and are used to being pampered. Now in this situation, there is no solution at all and it will not serve any purpose other than adding chaos.
"Has the Han army attacked the city?"
"The city has not yet been attacked. After the slaves learned that they fired three rounds of stone cannons, they lined up outside the city and did not launch an offensive."
When he heard that the Han army had not yet attacked the city, Sita's heart dropped slightly, and he tried to keep calm and think about the next steps.
After a long time, he suddenly asked: "Where among the city gates are the Han troops weak?"
The guard who came to report replied: "There are enemy armies surrounding us on three sides: south, south, north, and south. Only on the west side, no trace of the enemy has been found."
"Um?"
As soon as the guard said these words, not only Stain, but also the other nobles in the hall stopped sobbing and immediately started to roll their eyes.
"Are you sure there are no troops guarding the west?"
"If you go back to the city lord, I'm absolutely sure!"
Si Tayin immediately slapped his thigh: "Okay, before the Han army attacks the city, immediately retreat from the west gate and go to Liuli City to seek protection from General Ku Jin. After noon, everyone will gather at the west gate."
When everyone heard this, they quickly agreed and immediately went to pack up their belongings and prepare to run away with Stein.
…
At noon, the Han army camped outside the city.
"Reporting to Commander Bai, the scouts are here to report that the city lord Sitayin, along with the nobles and horses in the city, has evacuated from the west gate and is heading towards Liuli City."
"Is the information true?"
"Absolutely true!"
"good!"
Bai Qi clapped his hands and immediately issued an order: "Instruct Xia Yu and Tian Yan to march towards Tucheng. Anyone who encounters obstacles along the way does not need to ask for instructions. They will be killed without mercy. After an hour, I will see our Han family's military flag standing in the city." head!"
"Here!"
Bai Qi gave an order, and all three troops marched towards Tucheng. All at once, drums and trumpets sounded, and the cold armor shone brightly.
The widows and common people in the city once again fell into a new round of chaos after learning that the Han army launched an offensive outside the city...
On the other side, Si Tayin led all the nobles in the city and three thousand soldiers on the road to Liuli City.
However, because these nobles brought a lot of luggage with them when they traveled, not to mention gold and silver, but also many grains, metal utensils, and even many wives and concubines, the escape progress was very slow for a while.
In just one hour, we only walked less than three miles.
The same was true for Si Tayin. He fled out of the city with only fifty or sixty family members and servants, without any awareness of the irreversible consequences of doing so.
"When we arrive at Liulicheng, the lord of this city will write to His Majesty the King that he must raise a large army to make these Han troops look good!"
Sitayin looked at the distant Tucheng and secretly swore in his heart that he would definitely regain the lost ground.
Tucheng is the fiefdom of the Sitain family. In the unique system of Guidi, Tucheng is undoubtedly a country. This is also the result of the Guidi royal family deliberately wooing local nobles in order to stabilize its position.
There is no clear civil service system in Guidu. The largest official in a city is the city lord. All appointments of civil servants and even military generals are directly under the jurisdiction of the city lord. This is very similar to the previous feudal dynasty where imperial power did not go to the countryside.
Now that Si Tayin has lost his fiefdom, how can he be reconciled?
However, the strength of the Han army made him frightened, and he could only hope to regain his lost territory with the arrival of the king's army.
After stumbling along like this for another two hours, until the outline of Tucheng disappeared from everyone's sight, Si Tayin put away his mood and continued to rush to Liulicheng.
The other nobles are also in mixed moods at this moment, but after all, at least their biological family's lives should be saved for now, right?
Many people began to think about how to get General Ku Jin's support with the least amount of wealth they had after arriving in Liulic City.
But at this moment, a thick black line appeared on the horizon in the distance, accompanied by rolling yellow sand, sweeping toward him.
Sita was shocked when he saw this, and then asked curiously: "Could it be that General Ku Jin knew that Tucheng was in trouble? Did he specially send an army to help?"
This seemed to be the only reliable explanation that Stain could think of. After all, with his brain, he had no idea why Bai Qi would deliberately leave a way for them to survive, let alone how terrifying a strategy like surrounding Sanque was.
But soon, Stein discovered something was wrong.
"No, the armor on these cavalry cannot be so sophisticated. Also, the heavy sound of horse hooves is not something that can be heard in my noble widow's army. Who are those cavalry?"
Just when he was still wondering about the origin of this army, the sound of roaring iron hoofs was already close at hand.
When the cavalry formation approached, the flaming Jingwei bird flag spread out in the formation frightened Stain and others to death.
"Yes...it's the Han army..."
"The Han army is coming~~"
"Lord, save your believers~~"
For a time, there was chaos in the Sita Yin formation. The nobles were crying for their fathers and mothers, praying for their faith. The soldiers had already lost their fighting spirit and were running around wildly without any military discipline.
Sitayin was about to cry, and murmured: "How did the Han army know that we were going to take this road? Do they have the ability to predict the future?"
However, no matter how Stein and the nobles studied this problem that a three-year-old child could understand, Lu Yu's iron cavalry still slowly approached.
"Listen to a certain order and kill anyone who blocks the way!"
"Drink~~"
The three thousand cavalrymen, under Lu Yu's order, all showed cruel and ferocious expressions. The five hundred cavalrymen in the first row had slowly lowered their lances and pointed them at the chaotic military formation ahead.
"Get out of the way, get out of my way!"
In the already unbearable widow's army formation, a burly soldier in the second row saw the orderly and solemn army formation about to rush into the formation. He immediately dropped his weapon, turned around, squeezed through the crowd and ran back, taking the opportunity to Three colleagues were knocked to the ground.
"Come here you go!"
There was also a widowed veteran who knew that there was no hope of escaping in the face of a cavalry charge, so he directly pulled a thin soldier in front of him, hoping to sacrifice the soldier's life to leave a way for himself to survive.
"Han Army~~"
"Mighty~~"
The moment they charged into the formation, the shouts of the three thousand Han troops echoed through the sky, and the world seemed to fall into silence at this moment.
"Boom~~"
"Xilulu~~"
The moment the cavalry formation charged in, a huge wave of people immediately arose.
The widowed veteran who used his companion as a human shield was immediately thrown into the air together with his companion in front of him, and the moment he landed on the ground, he was covered in dust by rolling yellow sand.
"No, don't~~"
When the noble soldier who was still struggling to escape pushed away his seventh companion, a dark lance penetrated his chest from the back.
The severe pain and suffocation made him feel worse than death. The key was that at the last moment of his life, he discovered that his legs were not under his control at all. He was taken dozens of steps away from the place by the galloping horse. In the end, he only heard a sound After the sound of the gun barrel breaking rang in his ears, he ended his life in horror.
Scenes like this were constantly being staged throughout the entire noble army, forming a one-sided massacre.
Si Tayin looked at the scene of the defeated army, surrounded by Han cavalry slashing back and forth. He suddenly felt that all the strength in his body was drained, and finally he collapsed on the ground helplessly.
"Shu Zi, accept your fate!"
Suddenly a loud shout echoed, frightening Stain to the point of losing control.
The moment I raised my head, I saw a cold light falling from the top of my head, and I couldn't see clearly the appearance of the cavalry on the horse...
"No~"
"Pfft~"
With a scream, Stain's body was split in half from the head down by Lu Yu's cold saw.
The cruel killing method made the nobles who were watching not far away so frightened that they couldn't even remember what they were shouting. They could only kneel on the ground and beg for mercy loudly.
"The rabble is really vulnerable!"
Lu Yu sat on horseback, looked at the group of nobles with disdain, and caressed his long beard. He looked like a warrior god coming to this world.
