Start: Datang Wanli a lonely city

Chapter 437 Legend (V)

Chen Ergou's home was not far from the east wall of Kaifeng City.

Counting some winding alleys, after adding all the distance together, the total is only a little over two miles.

But on this short journey, he unexpectedly met many unexpected people at a time when there were few people.

Except for Mr. Huang and Mr. Zhao, I met many other people before and after.

For example: in the 'Taifeng Building', a horse market street, which is famous for its high quality and low price, I and my wife also went to eat a few times at the restaurant's Xiao Er.

Or 'Doctor', the younger brother Zhou Kun in his twenties.

It is said that this little brother is also a hard-working person, his parents died early, and he begs for food on the street.

Fortunately, he was later taken in by the old shopkeeper of the 'Taifeng Building', so he had a source of food and clothing.

It's a pity that the "Taifeng Building", which used to be full of traffickers and pawns every day, including merchants, has now been burned to nothing, together with several nearby shops of ready-made clothing and medicinal materials.

The old shopkeeper and his wife were directly burned to death in it, and only this week Kun was lucky enough to survive.

Originally in Chen Ergou's guess, this little brother Zhou Kun didn't know what he looked like now.

After all, in the huge city of Kaifeng, where are there any restaurants and washrooms open? He just wanted to find a job to make ends meet, but he might not be able to find a place.

Results?Brother Zhou Kun who appeared in front of his eyes was wearing a slightly whitish but obviously well-washed short jacket.

After the two met, they didn't wait for Chen Ergou to speak.

There was already a bright and enthusiastic smile on the face of the other party, and he took the initiative to say: "Brother Chen, I haven't seen you for a long time, you look like you need to pay more attention to your body, I don't know if you have eaten?"

Good guy!Such a familiar greeting.

Chen Ergou was almost in a trance for a while, thinking that he had returned to the old days when he had a lot of money and took his wife to Taifeng Tower for a drink.

The inexplicable eyes were sour for a while, and some wanted to cry
Similar to Zhou Kun, Chen Ergou met a lot of people in the follow-up.

There is an old man Xie who carries a pair of wontons every day and sells them in the streets and alleys; there is Ma Qianyi who is studying in the Imperial College, and they are recognized as young brothers who will have great promise in the future.

There is also the small shopkeeper of 'Liji Soup Shop', a fellow of 'Nanbei Sauce Shop' who I forgot his name.

And the opera troupe 'Yunxing Troupe', three middle-aged musicians who have met many times, but also don't know how to call them.

In short, on such a cold morning, after almost a month, Chen Ergou met fifteen or sixteen such acquaintances.

They have almost the same things.

Clean, even if you haven't put on some brand-new clothes, they are definitely very clean; the head, face, and palms are also clean, obviously they have been washed well once.

To be happy, to be more precise, it should be called relaxation, like letting go of a huge burden on the shoulders, the whole person feels relaxed.

But what impressed Chen Ergou the most was their determination and freedom when they straightened their backs and strode forward.

Then, the bigger problem came.

What made them like this, where are they going and what are they going to do?
With such doubts, Chen Ergou came to the east wall, and the spear that was lazily carried on his shoulders became in his hands.

It looks like if there are idlers who try to climb up the city wall, they will be driven down.

It's just that in my heart, I was still wondering about everything that I encountered in the morning; and this kind of doubt didn't last for too long, and Chen Ergou understood it.

It's just that after I understood it, the impact I received was really too big...

******
Just like the previous few days, after the golden soldiers outside the city had finished eating, they first used a large number of stone cannons to greet them on the cooking cake mountain.

It was as if he wanted to smash the top of this mountain down with a big stone.

After smashing for about two or three quarters of an hour, hundreds of archers shot at the top of the mountain again.

Because there are many archers to replace, they don't have to worry about the strength of their arms. Under the constant shooting, the dense arrows are like raining.

Under the pressure of such a rain of arrows, Jin Bing's infantry began to attack the mountain.

The difference is that there are more golden soldiers attacking the mountain today, not to mention that everyone seems to be wearing a piece of armor, and even half of them are wearing iron armor.

From the looks of it, those golden soldiers were ruthless today.

In the following time, the battle between the two sides started.

When those golden soldiers rushed to the middle of the mountain, the hilltop seemed to be empty, those grandpas and the women who made men like them feel ashamed.

Suddenly, it popped up on the edge of the mountain top, and the sharp arrows and stones in its hands greeted the golden soldiers attacking the mountain continuously.

All of a sudden, a group of golden soldiers suffered heavy casualties, but they still moved forward with all their might.

I have to say that these barbarians of the golden soldiers are really fierce.

Just when Chen Ergou was very worried about the battle in front of him, he saw this very worrying scene from the corner of his eyes:
Including Old Master Huang, Zhao Daguanren, Zhou Kun, Xie Laohan, etc., a team of more than 300 people in total was walking towards Cooking Cake Mountain at a place more than [-] steps outside the city wall.

At that time, Chen Ergou quickly poked his head out of the wall, and shouted:
"Old Master Huang, Mr. Zhao, come back quickly. If you want to have fun, you will go to other places. Is this fatal? Be careful to be killed by those golden men."

The reason why I say this is that if only scattered people in the city go out of the city to collect all firewood outside the city and get some wild vegetables to feed their hunger, those golden people will not care.

After all, in Kaifeng, a huge city, the amount of firewood used for cooking every day is astonishing. If it is strictly forbidden to leave the city, many people may starve to death.

But if you dare to approach their large and small military camps and checkpoints, you will be shot and killed on the spot.

In the same way, the Jinren would not be relentless if they were close to a battlefield like Cooking Cake Mountain.

But soon after, Chen Ergou realized; no!These people didn't go to the wrong place, but they planned to rush up the Cooking Cake Mountain and fight the golden dog with those grandpas.

Because facing the yelling in his mouth, a group of golden dog cavalry found them, and it was already a scene of flattering horses galloping over.

These people not only did not turn around as Chen Ergou expected, but they fled back to the city in a panic.

Instead, they all let go of their feet and ran all the way in the direction of the Pancake Mountain.

Can this group of them break through the blockade of the golden soldiers, and kill the people on the mountain to join the people on the mountain?With Chen Ergou's insight, he knew it was impossible.

The fact is also like this, and then there were scenes that made Chen Ergou and everyone on the city wall feel heartbroken.

How can human legs run faster than horse legs?The [-] or so people outside the city ran forty or fifty steps, and the cavalry who charged head-on were not far away from them.

After opening and closing the bow and arrow in his hand, nearly half of the people were hit by arrows in a blink of an eye; a dozen people fell down immediately, and among them were two musicians from the 'Yunxing Class' that Chen Ergou knew.

The only remaining musician seems to have raised his hand to wipe away his tears.

As the rest of the people continued to stagger forward, they drew out various weapons in their hands, and faced these formidable opponents who had changed their color.

After they ran for a dozen steps, the cavalry had already arrived.

Then, the two sides launched a battle, or it should be called a massacre.

Old Master Huang, with snow-white beard and bloated hair, faced a cavalryman who was charging towards him, and when he stabbed with a long sword in his hand, he opened and closed his mouth and faintly shouted:
"Making Feng Dy to go to the battlefield, Confucius said benevolence, Mencius said righteousness; holding the sword to defend the country, born to be a hero, died to be a spirit, not very happy~"

In the next second, the scribe's saber fluttered in his hand, even if he polished it all night.

After piercing the fierce front of the war horse, it was broken in two immediately; then Old Master Huang's thin body was knocked into the air.

Zhou Kun, the waiter in the shop, raised the kitchen knife in his hand.

He was hit by a mace on the Tianling Gai, causing his brains to splatter.

The old man Xie was waving a shoulder pole that he had used for half his life, but before he could hit the opponent, he was smashed in the chest by a flying ax that was thrown over in a swirling motion.

Everyone agrees that in the future, brother Xie Qianyi might be able to enter the Hanlin Academy and have a great future.

When he went up to meet him with a stick in his hand, he staggered and fell to the ground; before he could get up successfully, after counting the knight above, a thousand-heavy war horse stepped on his back.

On the spot, he was trampled to death.

Even if you are forty-two, you can still eat more than a catty of pork, a jar of wine, and a lot of cooking cakes for a meal.

When slaughtering a pig, one person held down a fat pig, and the fat pig couldn't break free at all. When a golden soldier's long knife was slashed at him, he instinctively raised his left arm to shield him. forward.

Moments later, the left arm was severed.

But in the hands of Officer Zhao, the butcher's knife that had killed an unknown number of fat pigs also stabbed into the golden soldier's lower abdomen, and he habitually stirred it up, causing the golden soldier to fall off the horse screaming.

This is also the only result of the [-] or so of them.

In just one encounter, Old Master Huang and others were all killed in battle; among them, the one closest to Cooking Bread Mountain was more than a mile away.

There are more than thirty civilians in the area, and they actually want to kill the Pancake Mountain?Such a result is a very normal and reasonable end.

The whole process did not seem to have the slightest support for Hu Biao and others.

However, is this really the case?

Later generations, there are unofficial historical records: On the thirteenth day of the first month of the second year of Jingkang, a total of 31 righteous people from Kaifeng City rushed to help the mountain of cakes, but failed, and all of them died on the spot.

Tens of thousands of people in the city wept bitterly, crying, the hearts of the people will end...
