Holding fifty taels of silver, Zhao Jiang didn't know how he walked out of Prince Heng's Mansion.
The bright sun made him feel a little dizzy. After standing still, he tried to hold his breath and turned around to look at the magnificent Prince Heng's Mansion, feeling infinitely sad in his heart.
Crape myrtle lines line up, the dew drops sway in the wind, and the red and purple colors reflect the sun.
Famous flowers circle around, clearing the swamp.
It was really the peak of King Zhang Hua of Chu and his tour of Liangyuan Platform.
Guarding the golden mountains and silver seas, why would a mere generation of vassal kings risk their lives?
A wave of depression rushed straight to his forehead, Zhao Jiang violently placed the silver on the ground, roaring and crying blood.
"Your Majesty, can Daming be saved?"
Jiang Yumin, Shao Yichuan and others actually cried.
Heaven and earth are unkind and regard all things as stupid dogs.
The sadness of Qingzhou officials cannot be exchanged for any sympathy.
The roar that penetrated the sky was loud and violent, bricks and stones were flying on the city wall in the far distance, and the buildings collapsed, accompanied by the wails of countless creatures.
The rebels attacked the city.
Zhao Jiang wiped away his tears and ran towards the city wall in a hurry.
As soon as I passed the bell tower, I saw a huge flow of people coming in a hurry. Among them were obviously the local warriors who were placed at the top of the city, but now they have become deserters.
"Go back, go back quickly. If we can't defend the city, we will all die."
Zhao Jiang shouted until his throat broke, but nothing could stop him.
Everyone in Qingzhou City knows that without officers and soldiers, it is impossible to defend the city on their own.
They just want to escape. As long as they escape faster than others, they may be able to survive.
Under such circumstances, it was no longer possible to control the situation by relying only on Zhao Jiang and a few other civil servants.
The rebels outside the city didn't know that there was chaos inside the city.
After ordering the attack, Li Jiucheng, Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming and others all tensed up.
They focus more on their surroundings.
All the cavalry were sent out to scout the movements of the new army. I'm afraid that when we are attacking the city here, the new army will besiege us.
After two rounds of shelling, the city walls of Qingzhou were filled with smoke and the walls were destroyed, but no one could be seen.
Could it be that the defenders had some ambush?
But at this time, the rebel infantry had already rushed to the bottom of the city carrying the ladder and began to climb up.
The imaginary crossbow was not seen, and there was no kerosene, gold soup, rolling wood, or pounding stones.
There were several artillery pieces placed at the top of the city, but there was no movement.
Ten breaths later, the fastest soldier had climbed to the top of the city. When he looked towards the city, he was stunned.
But he quickly reacted and immediately turned around and shouted: "The city is broken, the city is broken!"
As more and more soldiers came to the city, shouts came from a distance.
Kong Youde and others were far away and could not hear the shouts, but seeing the cheerful looks of the soldiers at the top of the city, they knew that the siege seemed to be going smoothly.
A general rushed back and pointed at the Qingzhou City Gate that was slowly opening.
"Commander, Commander, everyone in the city is running south, and there is no one to defend the city. We have captured Qingzhou!"
Li Jiucheng and Kong Youde were excited, but Li Yingyuan was the quickest to react. He waved his long sword and shouted: "The whole army enters the city to rob the city of money and food."
Tens of thousands of rebels immediately transformed into demonic beasts and swarmed into Qingzhou City.
They themselves had no military discipline at all, they had been hungry for a long time, and Qingzhou City was well preserved, which immediately aroused their ferocity.
Soon, Qingzhou City turned into a hell on earth.
The rebels brandished weapons and rushed into every house at all costs. Grab everything of value and take all the food.
When they saw a woman, they would commit violence on the spot, and the other men, young and old, would be slaughtered without blinking an eye.
Kong Youde was even more outstanding, and he personally led a group of cavalry around the city and went straight to the south of the city.
There were countless people trying to escape, but they were all blocked at the city gate, with endless screams and cries of terror.
Kong Youde came over with his cavalry and happened to be blocked.
Seeing some gorgeously dressed people fleeing in all directions, he immediately started chasing them.
In a moment, they were all killed.
The people who were about to leave the city saw the river of blood outside and turned around in panic, trying to find another way out. However, they were overtaken by the rebels who came from behind. They attacked from two sides and were massacred layer by layer.
Kong Youde didn't know how many people he had killed, but the blades of his swords were all curled up. The blood flowed freely along the blade, and the smell of blood made him particularly excited.
"Send the order and block all the city gates. No one will be allowed to escape. Today I will make these Shandong people understand the consequences of offending me in Dongjiang Town."
He had no idea that among the people he had just killed, there were also Zhao Jiang, Jiang Yumin, Shao Yichuan and others who had escaped in disguise.
After knowing that the city could no longer be defended, these officials had no ambition to die and ran away as fast as anyone else.
Precisely because they ran so fast, they bumped into the rebel cavalry after leaving the city gate, and died even faster.
I have to say, this is really a great irony.
When the rebels invaded Qingzhou City, Mao Chenglu led his troops outside. When he came back, he was full of regrets.
He didn't know how much others had robbed, but he had lost money anyway.
With red eyes, Mao Chenglu didn't care about anything and led his cavalry straight into the city and looted along the streets.
He knew that in a city, the richest families must be on both sides of the official road, close to the government office.
In order to grab more things, he even spared his own people.
He would rush forward to any mansion he had his eye on, even if it was already being robbed by his own people. It ranges from being whipped to being whipped, to being charged with horseback.
Even so, he still felt that he was at a loss.
Just when I didn't know where to find the supplement, I suddenly heard a guard shouting: "My dear, is this the emperor's palace?"
Mao Chenglu followed the directions and saw a large and majestic palace complex directly in front of him. Green tiles and red couplets catch the sun and shine.
The tall palace wall is more than three feet tall, which is larger than the city wall of Qingzhou Prefecture.
"What is this place?"
The people under my command went to ask and quickly replied: "General, this is Prince Heng's Mansion. The people living there are relatives of the Dog Emperor."
The people below don’t understand, but Mao Chenglu knows it all.
The famous Prince Heng’s Mansion!
People say that Qingzhou's fields are connected with Qianmo, and half of them belong to Heng Fan.
How much should it cost?
If it were in the past, Mao Chenglu would not dare to think about it when facing the feudal king.
But now they are traitors and have been caught by the court. The emperor will only chop off their heads but will not let them go.
In this case, why should they let go of the emperor's relatives?
Seeing that the heavy palace door was closed and it was impossible to open it manually, Mao Chenglu became very angry.
"Go and ask Bu Shiren to bring the artillery."
In Prince Heng's Mansion, even though there was a tall palace wall, the wails from Qingzhou City still came in.
Zhu Youyi was hiding in a palace, his face was pale, and he had long lost his previous calmness. I don’t know if he has any regrets now.
A eunuch rolled in and crawled in.
"Your Highness, outside the palace...there are many Qiuba coming outside the palace. Could it be...could it be..."
Don't look at these people who were arrogant and domineering in the past, but that was to deal with the common people of Shengdou. Now that we encounter the rebels who are killing people, they are more cowardly than lambs.
Zhu Youyi was more afraid than others, but he didn't want to show his timidity in front of his servants.
"Huh, Gu...Gu is a descendant of Hongwu, a noble man from Tianhuang. Although these Qiu Ba accidentally...went astray, how dare...how dare..."
Before he finished speaking, there was an earth-shaking loud noise at the palace door.
The majestic palace gate, which was built with tens of thousands of gold, collapsed and scattered in all directions. The bloody smell in the city was wrapped in smoke and dust and rushed straight into the palace.
"Help...help!"
Zhu Youyi no longer had the restraint of a relative of the emperor. After wailing, a heavy rain began to fall between the two of them.
