Groups of soldiers rushed down from the horse paths on the city wall, chasing the Datong City defenders who had escaped down the city wall, and cleaning up the remaining enemies near the north city wall.
Soon, the city wall of Datong City was occupied by the tiger-character flag, the city gate was opened, and teams of tiger-character flag soldiers rushed into the city from the city gate, and a black tiger-character flag was erected on the top of the city. .
Governor's Yamen.
Li Guangyi was restless and walked around the back office alone.
"Who's here?" He called out the door, walked back to his seat and sat down.
The yamen servant outside the door came in and said respectfully: "Sir, what are your orders?"
"Why did the sound of artillery outside stop? Go and see if Vice General Li has driven back the bandits." Li Guangyi ordered the government officer in front of him.
The officer turned around and left.
However, after a while, Hu Mingyi ran in from outside in a hurry.
As he ran, he shouted: "Dongweng is in trouble, the north gate has been captured, and the bandits have entered the city. Let's run away for our lives! If we don't leave, we won't be able to leave."
"What, the city is broken!" Li Guangyi slumped in his seat with a pale face.
Hu Mingyi hurriedly stepped forward to support Li Guangyi and persuaded him: "If you keep the green hills, you won't have to worry about running out of firewood. As long as you escape from Datong City, you may not have a chance to regroup."
"How could Datong City be breached? Didn't we repulse the bandits' attack yesterday? Where is Vice General Li? Where is he? Let him come to see me. Didn't he promise that I will defend Datong City?" Li Guangyi grabbed Hu Mingyi raised his arms and asked anxiously about the whereabouts of Lieutenant General Li.
Hu Mingyi said with a wry smile: "The bandits came from the north city gate. The students didn't see Vice General Li at all. If we don't leave, the bandits will kill here soon."
"Yes, yes, yes, let's go. Support me and leave immediately." Li Guangyi struggled to stand up from his seat. He didn't bother to take the black gauze hat on the table, and followed Hu Mingyi as he ran out of the back office in a panic. .
The yamen servants also knew the news about the bandits entering the city, and they got into a mess. You squeezed me, I squeezed you, and they all wanted to escape from the yamen.
Everyone knows that when bandits enter the city, the Yamen is where they will definitely come.
"What a mess, don't you see that the eldest master is here?" Hu Mingyi scolded the yamen servants in the yard, and then said, "Everyone come here and protect the eldest master out of the city. As long as the eldest master is safe and sound, you will be indispensable." the benefits of."
Except for a few government officials who ran away, most of them chose to stay.
In the yard, in addition to the remaining government officials, a group of soldiers and horses from the Fubiao Battalion who stayed behind in the government office also came to Li Guangyi's side.
"Where are the horses? Go and fetch them all." Hu Mingyi arranged for the servants to go to the stables to fetch the horses.
Several government servants separated from the crowd and ran to the stable.
The remaining people protected Li Guangyi and walked out of the Yamen.
The shouts of killing in the direction of the North City Gate were getting closer and closer. Li Guangyi looked nervous and looked along the street in the direction of the North City Gate from time to time.
"Dong Weng, the horse is here, hurry up and mount it!" Hu Mingyi saw the Yamen servant bringing the horse over and hurriedly called for Li Guangyi to mount the horse.
Li Guangyi stepped on the horse-mounting stone and climbed onto the horse's back.
Hu Mingyi took the reins from another Yamen servant and mounted the horse.
The remaining horses did not wait for the government officials to divide them up, but those from Fubiao Camp rushed up and snatched away all the horses, leaving only a few horse hairs for the government officials.
When Li Guangyi saw this, he opened his mouth to scold him. Thinking of the current situation and counting on the people from Fubiao Camp to escort him out of the city, he swallowed the words on his lips.
"Go to the south gate." Hu Mingyi took the initiative to choose the direction out of the city for Li Guangyi.
The people from Fubiao Camp escorted Li Guangyi and Hu Mingyi and galloped towards the South City Gate.
The government servants who had no horses to ride had to follow behind and chase with all their might.
Along the way to the South City Gate, more and more government officials fell behind. When they arrived at the South City Gate, there were only a dozen or so government officials left.
"Dong Weng, the gate of the south gate has been opened. Let's get out of the city quickly." Hu Mingyi saw Li Guangyi stopping at the south gate and hurriedly persuaded him to hurry up.
At this time, the south city gate that should have been closed was opened for unknown reasons. There was not even a soldier guarding the city around, including the top of the city.
"How could it be like this? How could it be like this!" Li Guangyi pointed at the empty South Gate with his finger, his mouth trembling with anger.
Hu Mingyi advised: "Dong Weng, we can't take care of it at this time. It won't be too late to punish the guard of the south city gate after everything is out of the city and it's safe."
"If these people hadn't abandoned the city and fled, how could Datong City have been breached by the bandits?" Li Guangyi said bitterly.
Hu Mingyi consoled him: "The bandits came in through the North City Gate. The guard at the South City Gate probably escaped after finding out that the North City Gate was lost. He could never have taken the initiative to open the city gate to let the bandits into the city, otherwise the chaos would Bandits will not enter the city through the north gate."
"The fall of Datong City will leave me wondering how I will explain to the court in the future." Li Guangyi lamented.
At this moment, the shouts of death from behind were getting closer and closer.
The team of people from Fubiao Camp who were guarding Li Guangyi looked back from time to time, with nervous expressions on their faces.
Hu Mingyi saw that Li Guangyi was still hesitating when he arrived at the city gate, so he said: "Dong Weng, there are bandits coming from behind. They can't find you Dong Weng in the Yamen. They will definitely chase you along the road. If you are hesitating, I'm afraid they will leave." No more."
"You guys can go. I'm not leaving. I'll stay here to coexist and die with Datong City. This will prove my loyalty to the court." Li Guangyi's voice was low, with a look of death on his face.
Everyone in the surrounding Fubiao Camp looked at Hu Mingyi.
Hu Mingyi did not expect that Li Guangyi was determined to die, so he could only continue to persuade: "After receiving Dong Weng's request for help, the imperial court will definitely send a large army to Datong. Dong Weng, you must stay useful at this time. When the reinforcements arrive, you will be sent to Datong." The army retakes Datong City, this is how we repay the loyalty of the imperial court."
"There's no need to persuade him. You can run away for your lives. If it's too late, you won't be able to leave." Li Guangyi insisted on staying.
Seeing that he couldn't persuade him, Hu Mingyi felt upset, pointed at Li Guangyi and said, "You guys, tie the governor to the horse and lead him out of the city."
The flag officer of Fubiao Camp who was following him lifted Li Guangyi onto his horse and urged his horse to run out of the city.
The rest of the Fubiao camp followed the chief flag officer out of the south city gate.
"Let me go, you guys let go of me. I want to live and die with Datong City, and I will never live in an ignoble way." Li Guangyi on horseback shouted and struggled.
It's a pity that the flag officer's big iron-like hands couldn't break free at all.
As soon as Hu Mingyi and the people from Fubiao Camp left, the government officials who stayed at the South City Gate looked at each other in shock.
A yamen servant said: "Should we continue to follow?"
"Fuck you, two legs can run as fast as four. I'm really crazy to follow you to the South City Gate." One of the government servants cursed and walked back.
Seeing this, the other government officials gave up and continued to leave with the governor.
It's not that they don't want to, but outside the city, two-legged people can't outrun four-legged animals.
