Chapter 540 The overall situation has been decided
"boom!"
The three city gates in the east, west and north of Youxin City collapsed one after another with loud noises. Huge stones hit the original city gate. With the desperate eyes of the rebels who were about to withdraw from the city, they blocked the city gate firmly.
"Move the stones away! If we can't get out, we will die!" A man in the city shouted loudly.
However, what greeted him was a series of grenades thrown from the city wall.
At this time, in Youxin City, the fire and blood shine together, and the shouts of killing were still endless.
Most of the cities are trapped in flames.
Countless people hiding at home were driven out of the house by fire or were swallowed by flames. The thick smoke forced people to cover their mouths, lower their bodies, and flee everywhere in panic.
The people were like fish in the net, with flames everywhere wherever they looked, as if the whole city was trapped in a sea of fire, making them even more panicked. Most of them subconsciously ran towards the city gate closest to them.
"Run to the south of the city, there is no fire in the south of the city!" The sound from somewhere caused many panicked people to subconsciously run towards the south of the city.
And the abortion has led to more people.
People are herd, especially in such disasters.
Shadows stood on the houses outside the line of fire, looking down at the fleeing people in the dark night. From time to time, the light of weapons lit up, and screams before death came from people.
Some of the rebels who were crowded with the crowd sprayed blood and fell to the ground.
The empress stood above the city gate and looked down at the city trapped in the sea of fire, Ren Baqian was half a position behind her.
"Your Majesty, sir, refugees are coming." Zuo Lengxiang said in a deep voice ten meters on the side of the two.
"Get out of the city gate! Let them leave the city gate and send a loud voice to tell them who released the fire." Ren Baqiandao. At this time, he could see the surging crowd below rushing towards the city gate.
Although it can be said to be safe when you reach the south of the city, most of the civilians in the entire city are rushing towards this area, and are already crowded. The crowd is pushing and rushing towards the city gate, trampling, violence, and all kinds of things happen almost all the time.
"Your Majesty, Tiezihe, one of the thief leaders, has already given the title!" Qing Ping fell in front of the empress, holding a human head in his hand.
"I understand!" The empress didn't even look at it, but turned to Ren Baqian: "Even if these people escaped their lives today, they would not be able to hold on to the food."
"Your Majesty also asks you to issue an order to transfer grain and porridge from Xueyang and other cities to help. When serving the porridge, you must tell them who gave them the meal. The people who have escaped their lives here must remember His Majesty's kindness!" Ren Baqian said with a sudden change.
"There is no food in Jiangbei. When the army left before, all the excess food was taken away." The empress said. Although it seems that she allowed Ren Baqian Shi to make things happen recently, it does not mean that she doesn't know anything. "The grain in Xueyang City can support it for a few days, but it takes at least three days to transfer the food. I don't know how much will happen in these three days.
"What is your Majesty's plan?"
"Let the people in the south of the city take out all the surplus grains in their homes and divide them according to the number of people. At least a few days will be allowed to transfer the grains to ensure that they will not starve to death."
As for whether the people in the south of the city were willing or not, it was not within her consideration.
She was already kind-hearted to be able to arrange this way.
"Your Majesty is the act of a wise ruler!" Ren Baqian said.
"What do you mean I was a fool before?" The empress turned her head and glanced at him.
"How is it possible? It's just that His Majesty's wisdom in the past was aimed at the ancient people." Ren Baqiandao.
"Look at how much you have spent on these people these days, you can't let them starve to death like this." The empress said lightly.
At this time, the two of them were in chaos below, with countless heads huddled together, and cried and shouted in a whole lot.
The empress released her aura and suppressed everyone's hearts like a mountain. She immediately calmed down below, and everyone seemed to be strangled and even felt difficult to breathe.
The empress's aura stopped immediately. Without saying a word, the victims below covered their mouths and did not dare to make any sound.
"It's worthy of being Your Majesty! The power alone can calm these many panicked people." Ren Baqian exclaimed.
"The fire is spreading!" The empress ignored him and looked into the distance.
"Come!" Ren Baqian looked up and called out to guards to order. "Starting from the location close to the fire, inform the people in the south of the city to leave the house with food and leave the city immediately!"
"In addition, let Xidu Protector send some people to maintain order and avoid disasters outside the city."
The two stood on the top of the city and lit up a slight slight whiteness, and the shouts of killing in the distance became less and less.
That night, Xiwanya and the Southern Protectorate gradually retreated with the fire, and always stopped the rebels who wanted to rush out in the line of fire.
The flying cavalry always stopped the rebels who wanted to climb over the city wall and escape.
As for the Protectorate, after initially guiding the civilians and clearing the scattered soldiers, he was thrown into the city to maintain order.
There were 150,000 rebels, and there were very few fish that had escaped the net.
In addition to dying under the sword, he died of suffocation due to hypoxia in the fire.
"Your Majesty, it's over." Ren Baqian said behind the empress.
The empress's red figure flashed on the city wall, disappeared from the spot and returned to her own carriage.
Ren Baqian stretched out his hand when the empress left, but he wasted nothing.
He swayed behind his back and walked down the city wall. He could still hear the sounds of people in the distance - "Oil tanks, firewood and other fire-induced objects, don't you know? His Majesty saved your life and gave you a way out... All the food will be distributed according to human hair. As long as you persist for a few days, the food transported from Xueyang City will make you starve to death..."
"Zuo Leng!"
"Sir Ren!"
"Organize these people, find some young and strong people to put out the fire from the periphery, and search for valuables in the city and food that have not been destroyed." Ren Baqiandao. At this time, most of the people used stone jars to store grain. Although some houses were burned, the food in the stone jars could still be eaten.
"In addition, dig a hole outside the city and buried the body! Avoid epidemics. Arrange people to check around the city to see how many rebels ran away and in which direction they went."
After explaining the matter, Ren Baqian stood at the city gate and looked at the civilians who were still in fear and sadness. He shook back to the empress's carriage, fell to the ground and closed his eyes to rest.
Not long after, two pieces of animal skin were thrown out of the imperial carriage and stuck on his face.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Ren Baqian happily spread the animal skin under his body, and soon fell asleep.
——
Most of the day later, the army that had been resting for half a day, except for a few left to maintain order, the army returned to Xueyang City again.
It took a day and a half to return to Xueyang City again, and before I could enter the city, I could smell a bloody smell.
After entering the city, he learned about it. After the army left, Rao Yu indeed led his troops to attack.
The army of a thousand tribes has kept 50,000 rebels firmly outside the city for two days.
During this period, Hongcheng also drove many young and strong people in the city to help defend the city. Under the threat of swords and blood, the young and strong people really gave some help, which greatly reduced the morale of the rebels and forced Rao Yu to retreat with regret.
However, this also made the people of Xueyang City panic again.
Fortunately, the overall situation has been decided at this time. Only Rao Yu can’t cause too much storm, so it’s better for people to recover their hearts slowly.
