Yu Jun

Tang Baichuan was shocked by Yin Nan's bloody knife and broke into a cold sweat. He did not dare to look back and ran straight to the mountain. Behind him, there were more than a hundred soldiers who escaped from the ambush. They abandoned their helmets and armor and ran up the mountain, surrounded by Wu Tianyou and Tang Baichuan to escape for their lives.

The trees were so dense that they couldn't tell the path, and screams kept coming and going. Tang Baichuan didn't know his direction at all, so he could only rush forward.

The rocks at his feet were abrupt, overgrown with thorns, and vines hung upside down. He was stumbling and dragging as he ran. The armor on his body was heavy, and there was a "rumbling" sound in his ears. He was panting like an ox and sweating profusely.

The chase behind him was very urgent, and there were constant shouts. When he looked back, he saw sword flashes from behind, and the soldiers following him kept falling.

The smell of blood filled the forest. He saw Yin Nan killing people like he was chopping melons. His eyes were so bright that it made him feel frightened. He secretly thought that this person had an evil nature, and he was reluctant to take off his armor, so he ran slower and slower.

Just as he stepped into the pile of soft pine needles, he suddenly heard Wu Tianyou shouting beside him. He didn't hear the content of the shout clearly, but with the instinct of many years of fighting, he threw himself to the ground without hesitation.

The moment his head was buried in the rotten leaves, Yin Nan's long knife flew past him. With a "scratching" sound, the long knife was nailed to the tree trunk, and the tip of the knife was halfway down.

Tang Baichuan raised his eyes and saw the handle of the knife trembling on the tree trunk. He was so frightened that he didn't dare to look back. He rolled and crawled to the side. As he ran, he reached out and took off his embroidered shirt, threw it on the grass, and then went to untie his armor - -The armor is too heavy and is a complete burden in this dense forest.

Wu Tianyou followed closely behind him, took off his pocket and threw it aside. Suddenly he saw a trail ahead, which seemed to have been dug by the villagers outside Wangzhou Mansion. He quickly raised his hand and pointed: "General, hurry up!"

Tang Baichuan stepped onto the trail decisively. Fortunately, there was no obstruction on the trail, so he could run faster. However, it was narrow and could not accommodate so many people at the same time. People lined up and squeezed onto the trail. As soon as more than ten people ran up the trail, the Detachment of Women caught up with them. , pick up the knife and chop.

On one side was the powerful force that had been building up for a long time, and on the other was the exhausted defeated army. The winner was determined in an instant.

Yin Nan's ghost still lingered, and he jumped down from the grassy slope above the trail, landed in front of Tang Baichuan, and stabbed him in the head.

Tang Baichuan retreated suddenly, and at the same time stretched out his hand to grab Wu Tianyou behind him, and pushed him in front of him. He heard a "puff" sound, and the blade of the knife was inserted into Wu Tianyou's chest. With another sound, the knife was pulled out, and blood spurted out instantly.

Wu Tianyou's eyes widened and he refused to close his eyes.

Tang Baichuan quickly threw him away, jumped down the path, rolled into the grass, and rushed down the mountain along the path.

His army of 100,000 people completely disappeared at this moment, leaving him alone fighting alone.

He knew that after escaping, he would face heavy punishment from His Majesty, but His Majesty's punishment was insignificant because the country had few generals and many civil servants. No matter how dissatisfied the civil officials were with him, they had to use him in the end.

The most important thing at this time is not to become Mo Lingfeng's prisoner.

He rushed down the mountain in one breath, crossed the stream, and entered the village. He was startled by the sound of dogs barking, and the cats also started barking in fear of chaos.

Someone in the village lit an oil lamp and opened the door to take a look. They were startled when they saw the embarrassed Tang Baichuan and picked up the broom leaning against the wall.

Tang Baichuan walked under the tree, turned around and looked behind him. His eyes were dim and green, but he didn't see the pursuers. He sat down on the ground and breathed a sigh of relief.

The Mo family army is a traitor. The soldiers who are ambushing outside do not dare to stay away from the army, and they do not dare to openly enter the village with people to kill people. The rebels, because of their unfair reputation, especially want to find a benevolent man who loves the people like a son. name.

"Who is it?" The villagers did not dare to get close and shouted from a distance.

Tang Baichuan was in a trance. When he heard the shouting, he was agitated. He looked up and saw a villager. He stood up holding on to the tree trunk. He gritted his teeth and endured the pain in his legs: "I am a general of the imperial court. I have been persecuted by the rebels. Come quickly, I have the horse." Your Majesty has given me a gold medal!" "No, no horse." The villager stepped back to the door, his eyes suddenly widening.

Behind the tree stood the elusive Yin Nan.

When Yin Nan stepped forward, Tang Baichuan didn't have to look back. He knew something was wrong, so he ducked sideways, pulled out a long knife from his waist, and stabbed him with his backhand.

There was a loud "dang" sound, and the two knives were put together. Tang Baichuan was pushed back three steps by the force.

Yin Nan took the time to take a look at the weapon, and saw that the knife had been curled at some point, so he stopped his hand, threw the long knife on the ground, pulled out a sharp knife from his sleeve, and then threw Tang Baichuan to the ground, the sharp knife lying across the ground. Press down hard on his neck.

Tang Baichuan closed his eyes tightly, his mind went blank, his heart plummeted to hell, his whole body was cold, but sweat broke out in an instant, soaking his clothes.

The expected pain did not come.

When he opened his eyes, he saw that Yin Nan had an unhappy face. He put away the sharp knife, grabbed the collar of his clothes, pulled him to his feet, and pushed him back, leaving behind a stunned villager.

As she walked, she sighed: "I have to live."

Tang Baichuan was not restrained, but he was scared to pieces by Yin Nan. He moved like a zombie. When he heard her talking to herself, there were only two words left in his heart - it's over.

At this time, Wangzhou City has become a Shura field. Bodies can be seen everywhere on the streets. The remaining fire of rocket grease is all over the streets. The rubble is broken on the ground and stained with blood. Wangzhou City becomes rich and colorful overnight, appearing in the world. .

The common people were more clever and stuffed their gold and silver treasures into their clothes and hid them in cellars to prevent the soldiers from burning, killing and looting. Some were frightened, like clay and wood sculptures, standing in front of the door with a blank face, watching the soldiers coming and going. , cleaning up the battlefield, there were still people anxiously turning over corpses on the streets - during the siege, most pedestrians and traders on the streets had no time to escape, and were trampled by war horses, causing countless casualties.

A group of beggars swarmed out to pick up the fallen food.

The crows rested on the branches, occasionally flapping their wings and flying together, following the corpse.

There were rustling sounds everywhere, but there was no sound. Suddenly, someone ran past and stepped on a dustpan on the ground. It was surprising. Then someone shouted: "The granary is opening! Come and see, the granary is opening!" "

The dead silence was broken.

All soldiers and horses consume a huge amount of food and grass. One hundred thousand soldiers and ten thousand horses require four hundred thousand civilians to transport food for one month. Therefore, they no longer have to join the army, and the food does not last for three years. All food is taken locally.

Wangzhou's army is hoarding here because there is a "Jiahe Granary" in Wangzhou that has been abundant for many years.

The rice harvested by the northwest states is transferred from here to the Kyoto granary. Therefore, the granary is built very large, with a hundred cellars inside, each of which can store two thousand kilo of grain. During the autumn harvest last year, there was a tabloid rumor that Jiahe Granary was digging for more grain. In the cellar, Chu Yongzhen's army collected nearly 360,000 shi of grain.

The officials of Wangzhou Prefecture, usually high-sounding, today gathered in front of Wangzhou Prefecture Warehouse in disgrace. The four warehouse chiefs were trembling with fear, holding the warehouse account books for Huang Yunshu to check. The grain security officers and store clerks stood in darkness on the first floor, and the people gathered. , watching from outside.
