Water Margin people

The whole city of Jizhou was shaken. There were always adulterers and adulterers, but it was unheard of for them to dare to do such a thing in the temple.

The devout believers angrily tied up the adulterer and the adulterous couple and wanted to burn them to death in a fire.

They also swore that this was the guidance of the Buddha. If they did not burn them to death, they would definitely be punished by the Buddha.

Seeing the anger of the believers, the abbot and elders of the temple did not dare to say anything. At this time, they had to break up with Pei Ruhai to preserve the reputation of the temple. Pei Ruhai would die.

People in the city came in droves, wanting to see the excitement. When there were more people, the prefect was afraid of causing trouble, so he immediately dispatched people to maintain order. However, there were too many people watching, and there were not enough government officials.

"Young Master, I'm afraid we need to send some troops over!"

The magistrate looked at Yelu Zongyun and said that the city is now in a mess. He is worried that the people's anger is still lingering and will be taken advantage of by those who are interested. When the time comes, they will burn, kill and loot, which will only make the city more chaotic.

"Well, send a few hundred soldiers and horses over there!"

Yelu Zongyun nodded and said that Jizhou City is now guarded by him and there must be no problems.

Yang Xiong's face was ashen at this time. He had been patrolling the city well, but suddenly it was reported that his wife and the monk were having an affair in the temple, and he was caught in public.

"Go to Baoen Temple!"

Yang Xiong led his soldiers towards Baoen Temple.

More and more people gathered. Pei Ruhai and Pan Qiaoyun, who were tied to the wooden stakes, were completely naked. They struggled to make a sound. Their mouths were blocked, and there were piles of dry firewood at their feet.

"Burn them!"

"Burn them!"

The devout believers roared.

The next step was to light the fire, and the fire burst into flames. The fire was so fierce that it instantly engulfed Pei Ruhai and Pan Qiaoyun.

Waves of cheers rang out, and the onlookers cheered crazily. Many people who had just arrived had no idea what was happening. They only saw the adulterer and the adulterer being burned to death, and they started to boo.

In the chaotic crowd, some rogue idlers also got their ideas and took advantage of the chaos to start stealing and robbing things.

Soon the riot began, and the government began to suppress it. The people didn't know what was going on. When they saw the army coming, they ran away one after another. This time it became even more chaotic.

The movement in the city attracted everyone, including the soldiers guarding the city. The adulterer and adulterer having an affair in the temple was big news, and the adulterer and adulterer being burned to death was even more eye-catching. Now there is chaos in the city again.

"Go!"

Ma Ling gave an order, and dozens of people who were leaning near the city wall ran directly up to the city wall, waving their daggers in their hands, and ended the battle before the defenders could react.

"Control the city gate!"

Ma Ling immediately led people to guard the city gate.

Flags were waved on the towers to signal.

Outside the city, Tang Bin, Teng Kan, Shi Xiu, Wei Dingguo, and Shan Yangui saw the signal and immediately led their troops to Jizhou.

The horses galloped and the army rushed towards them. The people on the official road were instantly frightened and fled in all directions. Many people ran towards the city, hoping to take refuge in the city.

"kill!"

Teng Kan waved the bamboo-jointed steel whip in his hand, and led his soldiers to kill those who blocked the road. The army must enter the city quickly, and any possible obstruction must be cleared whether intentional or unintentional. If he cannot bear to kill, These people wasted time, and those who died were their own soldiers.

The other city gate defenders also discovered the charging enemies and lit beacon fires one after another.

This move made the city even more chaotic. The people didn't know what was happening. With the beacon fire, all the troops in the barracks came out and blocked the streets in an instant.

"Enter the city, go up the city wall, and seal the four gates!"

Tang Bin had already led people to the city gate and shouted orders. There were many people in the city and it was very chaotic. If they entered rashly, they would only fall into chaos, which would be extremely detrimental to them.

Liangshan's army climbed onto the city wall and began to attack directly along the city wall. The defenders in the city were unable to go up to the city wall to support them because the streets were full of people running around. "General Tang, there is something going on over there at the government office!"

Wei Dingguo pointed to the central government office in Jizhou, where a large army seemed to be gathering.

"Close the city gates and turn the crossbows, trebuchets, rolling stones, and ramparts into the city!"

Tang Bin immediately ordered that the army in the city must be ready to gather and fight out of the city.

In the government office.

Yelu Zongyun, Yelu Zonglin, Yelu Zongdian, and Yelu Zonglei looked gloomy. In the blink of an eye, the peaceful Jizhou had been lost. Although they were still there, all four gates had been controlled by the enemy. They were already turtles in the urn.

"We must break out. We can't wait any longer. Once the enemy takes control of the situation, we won't be able to leave!"

Yelu Zong said via telegraph.

"How to go? All four gates are controlled by the enemy. Do you want to attack the city from inside?"

Yelu Zonglei frowned and said, there are too many buildings in the city, the streets are not wide, and the soldiers and horses cannot spread out at all. Attacking the city is just a dream.

"Yang Xiong, are you colluding with the thieves?"

While everyone was arguing about how to get out of the city, Yelu Zonglin looked at Yang Xiong who said nothing and asked coldly.

"Second Young Master, this matter has nothing to do with me!"

Yang Xiong explained in horror.

"Hmph, Jizhou City was originally in good condition, but today your wife caused such an incident and caused chaos in the city. If not for this, how could the enemy capture Jizhou so easily?"

Yelu Zonglin said viciously, everything today was weird. In the final analysis, Yang Xiong's wife was the one who caused it, and the enemy just seized the opportunity to attack the city. If they said it had nothing to do with Yang Xiong, no one would believe it.

"Master Magistrate, I rarely go home on weekdays. When I heard that the Master and General Yelu were promoted, I have been serving in the government during this period and have never returned home. I really don't know!"

Yang Xiong quickly said that he and Pan Qiaoyun actually had no relationship. They used to stay in the prison city without going home. They were busy recently and couldn't care less.

"Second Young Master, this matter should have nothing to do with Yang Xiong!"

The prefect also said, if it is Yang Xiong, then he is also suspected.

"Now is not the time to talk about this. Thinking about how to get out of the city is the most important thing!"

Yelu Zongyun waved his hand to signal his brother to stop talking.

"There is also a batch of artillery in the military camp. Pull it out and blast open the city gate!"

Yelu Zonglin said.

"Artillery? Okay, just use artillery!"

Yelu Zongyun nodded. Although the Liao Kingdom was not very proficient in firearms, they suffered a lot. They had also recruited many craftsmen in the past hundred years and secretly made a batch of artillery. They just happened to use it at this time. .

"Yang Xiong, since you are innocent, then you will be the vanguard!"

Yelu Zongyun looked at Yang Xiong, his eyes full of doubts. Yang Xiong's suspicion was definitely not small, but he was unwilling to go into details for the sake of the overall situation, but Yang Xiong should also show his attitude. Since he was loyal to them, he should kill him. The enemy makes meritorious deeds.

"Yes!"

Yang Xiong understood what Yelu Zongyun meant and took his orders with his fists clasped.

"The city is still in chaos and it is not suitable for the army to go out to fight. After dark, bombard the west gate with artillery, and then the army will fight out of the city. Yang Xiong, you led a thousand resentful troops to lead the battle. You must capture the west gate!"

Yelu Zongyun looked at everyone and said.
