The queen mother wants to go against the sky: General, please take your seat

Chapter 40 Snow at the city gate, blood at the city gate
The death knell was ringing in the imperial palace, the siege guns were ringing in the west city, and the north gate of the capital was blocked by crowds who wanted to leave the city. Some women were also crying softly, coupled with the braying of mules and horses, all the sounds mixed together could almost drive people crazy.

The soldiers guarding the city kept trying to control the order at the north city gate, and even killed many people, but they still couldn't stop the surging flow of people.

Mo Liangyuan saw that there were many people in the crowd with their belongings. These were not people whose families were outside the city, but those who fled from the city.

Yan Dongjin got off the horse with Mo Liangyuan in his arms, led the horse with one hand, and walked into the crowd with Mo Liangyuan with the other. Only in this way could they walk out of the capital without making a sound or being noticed.

The crowd was crowded, but Mo Liangyuan was well protected by Yan Dongji. Yan Dongji put his arm on Mo Liangyuan's shoulders and hugged her, with his body half sideways, no one could squeeze Mo Liangyuan to come.In the era when couples walked, the man followed the woman, Yan Dongjin and Mo Liangyuan walked together like this, it must attract attention on weekdays, but today everyone wants to go out of the city quickly, and no one Mind to care about the impoliteness of a young couple.

Seeing that the city gate was approaching, Mo Liangyuan grabbed Yan Dongjin's clothes.

"We're leaving the city soon," Yan Dong hurriedly whispered to Mo Liangyuan, "It's okay, we'll ride on horseback when we leave the city, no one can catch up with us."

"Hey," Mo Liangyuan replied, but her mood was unavoidably turbulent. When she was alone, even when she knocked out the palace servants and ran out of the imperial palace alone, she could remain calm, but she could stay with Yan Dongjin, Mo Liangyuan seemed to have become weak for no reason.

"Go forward," Yan Dongjin forcefully squeezed a path between the two ox carts, and said to Mo Liangyuan, "Don't look to the side."

"Close the city gate!" At this moment, several fast horses ran behind the crowd, and the captain on the horse rushed to the helpless guards and shouted: "The imperial court has an order to close the city gate!"

"Close the city gate!" The general on duty in Beicheng today was under Cheng Guangpang's command. Hearing the captain's shout, he hurriedly ordered to his subordinates: "Drive everyone away!"

"The city gate is about to close, let's go!"

Someone in the crowd yelled at the top of their lungs. They heard that the city gate was about to be closed, but the crowd suddenly exploded when they heard that the city gate was about to be closed. Before, people were walking quickly to the outside of the city, but now they are running towards the city. Went outside the city.

"Stop them!" The captain who came to deliver the order saw the crowd running, and hurriedly shouted at the officers and soldiers guarding the city.

Finally, a groom who was driving a carriage couldn't bear it any longer, and gave the horse pulling the carriage a hard slap. The horse neighed in pain, and started to run with its hooves, and the crowd crowded in the carriage collapsed in one fell swoop.

There was chaos immediately under the city gate. Many officers and soldiers guarding the city held weapons in their hands, but they were still rushed to the ground by the completely panicked crowd.At this time, who was injured and who died, the crowd didn't care at all, the city gate was about to be closed suddenly, the emperor was dead, and the army was bombarding the west city, and they didn't know who would be their new emperor. I don't know what to expect if I stay in the city.

Everyone can only think about it, the prosperous and prosperous capital is now a ferocious beast that devours people in the eyes of ordinary people, and no one wants to stay in the capital for even a second longer.

Yan Dongjin let go of the hand holding the horse, wrapped his arms around Mo Liangyuan in his arms, ran into the gate of the city with the screaming crowd, and stepped over a fallen soldier, feeling that he was so taken Can't run with Mo Liangyuan, Yan Dongji simply hugs Mo Liangyuan and runs forward.

"Fire!"

Someone in the crowd behind started screaming.

"It's Prince Rui's Mansion, Prince Rui's Mansion is on fire!"

"Oh my god, it's fighting! Your highnesses are fighting!"

……

The screams were endless, and the crowd even turned from panic to anger. Why did such a thing happen to me when I went out early in the morning to do my work?
The lieutenant behind the crowd kept shouting, and tried to bring his soldiers to the city gate, but even if they were riding horses, they urged the horses to trample on many people. The crowd that was all standing was just daydreaming.

On the tower, the general guarding the city could not control the situation. He thought that if the city gate could not be closed, his general and the Lord Protector would have a hard time explaining it to him. When he turned around, his general would not be able to forgive him lightly. Gritting his teeth, he ordered, "Close the city gate."

All the soldiers on the city tower were stunned. The city is full of people at the moment. Closing the city gate and lifting the suspension bridge will not only hurt people, but will definitely kill them!

"If someone is crushed to death by the city gate, it's like..."

"Close the city gate!" The general interrupted his subordinates and gave another order. This time the general's eyes were bloodshot.

Several soldiers ran to the winch, untied the knot, and began to hoist the drawbridge upward.

The soldiers below the city also shouted loudly from the people on the tower, and began to forcibly close the city gate.

"Don't look back," Yan Dongjin was walking on the slowly rising suspension bridge with Mo Liangyuan in his arms, "it has nothing to do with us, we don't care about anything."

People kept falling into the moat on the suspension bridge. Even if you can swim, if you fall into the water when it snows heavily, you will freeze when you fall into the water. There is no one to rescue them. These people who fell into the water have almost no chance of surviving.

Yan Dongjin raised his hand to cover Mo Liangyuan's eyes, and whispered: "We can't help it."

There are only two of them, how many people can they save?
Yan Dongjin jumped off the suspension bridge that had been tilted almost forty degrees to the ground, a sound of horse honking came from behind, Yan Dongjin turned his head, and found that his war horse followed him out of the city.

The war horse with brown fur jumped off the suspension bridge and snorted at Yan Dongji.

Yan Dongjin touched the horse's face, and whispered: "I'm sorry, old man."

The war horse put its nose in front of Mo Liangyuan again.

"Brown Road," Mo Liangyuan called the horse's name, and reached out to pat the horse's face.In the previous life, when Yan Dongjin led her to gallop out of the capital, Brown Tu had long since died. That horse, which also had brown fur, was the son of Brown Tu, but at that time, Yan Dong was not in the mood to name the war horse. , so the horse died without a name.

"Let's go," Yan Dongjin rolled onto the horse with Mo Liangyuan in his arms.

With a snort and a slap in the face, Brown Road ran to the official road to the north without the severe winter urging it.

When Brown Road ran away with Yan Dongjin and Mo Liangyuan, the suspension bridge was completely hoisted and the city gate was forcibly closed.A large amount of blood flowed out from the cracks in the city gate, following the topography of the city and the bottom of the river, the blood merged into a stream and flowed to the moat river.

The people unable to get out of the city, and the soldiers who forcibly closed the city gate looked at the corpses under the gate in a daze. No one was counting the corpses at the moment. People only knew that many people died.

People who left the city began to rescue those who fell into the moat, but people tried their best to save them, and very few people were rescued ashore.

The captain ran up the tower, ran straight to the general defending the city, and whispered to the general with bloodshot eyes, "Maybe someone will attack the city, so the imperial court ordered that the gate must be closed."

Damn court.

The general guarding the city looked at the corpses in the moat below the city. The nobles fought for power, and the unlucky ones were always powerless ordinary people.
