RPAGF Chapter 263 Rogue
Chapter 263 Rogue
These people from Northern Yan who settled in Liangzhou,
When I fell asleep last night, before I knew what had happened, I heard chaos in the city and sounds of fighting and killing. Everyone was so scared that they dared not go out.
Today the noise was quieter, and they were just thinking about checking the situation when they were directly driven out of their home by the soldiers from Donglin, which made them very annoyed.
When they encountered the Donglin soldiers chasing them away, they were stupid.
I thought it was our own army.
After realizing that something was wrong, they became afraid.
When did the Donglin soldiers enter the city?
Is it so possible, without anyone knowing?
They were worried.
When they reached the city gate, they found that the soldiers from the east were only thinking of driving them away and had no intention of killing them. The fear in their hearts gradually dissipated.
Furthermore, I want to stay here shamelessly.
Among them, there are many officials.
That’s right, the people of Beiyan who were in Liangzhou City couldn’t believe that Liangzhou had returned to Donglin’s hands so easily.
They firmly believed that it was only because their garrison commander Yelu Xiong died that Donglin had the opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
They also firmly believed that waves of soldiers from Northern Yan would arrive soon, and by then, Liangzhou would definitely return to their hands.
Northern Yan is bitterly cold; every winter, the weather is freezing and the climate is harsh.
The people of Northern Yan who settled in Liangzhou got used to the life here and didn't want to leave at all.
Moreover, all the men had joined the army. Most of them were older people, or prominent figures in Northern Yan, and they were most content to enjoy themselves.
Then, a middle-aged man in a navy blue short robe raised his eyes and looked at Ling Yunxiao who was standing high on the city wall, then he knelt on his knees.
"General, we are just ordinary people who just want to live a comfortable life. Please, let us live here."
That’s right, he was an official under the city lord.
At this moment, he did not know the news of the city lord's death. He only thought that their city lord was cunning and must be hiding in the city.
What's more, they didn't know that the Donglin soldiers were conducting a carpet search, and no matter where these people fled to, they would be driven out of the city without any explanation.
"Please..." As he took the lead, all the people of Beiyan saw this scene and knelt down one after another.
In an instant, the people of Beiyan who were driven to the city gate by the soldiers from Donglin became more and more dense.
"We are all old, weak and sick, and cannot bear the long journey. Please, don't chase us away."
After he finished speaking, all the people of Northern Yan echoed him.
"Please have mercy on us and don't drive us away."
“We don’t want to leave here.”
The soldiers from Donglin did not kill them, which showed that they were a benevolent and righteous army, which made them feel good about them.
Otherwise, they would have no chance to speak.
Even some people in Northern Yan have already begun to feel like joining the country.
"From now on, we are the people of Donglin."
"Yes, we are from Donglin!"
"..."
The people of Northern Yan were in tears and shed snot and tears as they spoke.
However, their pity could not move Ling Yunxiao at all.
There was no trace of emotion on his face.
The reason he could listen to so much of what these people said was because he was observing them carefully.
He was looking for any clues about these people.
Did he kill them all? Ling Yunxiao was not bloodthirsty and never killed civilians.
"The cuckoo has taken over the magpie's nest and you still sound so reasonable!" Suddenly, a loud female voice sounded in the crowd.
Jiang Yue and the other two looked at the same time.
Then Yu Ziyan, dressed in a plain purple dress, approached quickly.
The rest of the women did not dare to move around freely because of the fighting tonight, for fear that they might leave alive but not come back alive.
Yu Ziyan couldn't hide the anger in her eyes as she swept her gaze over the rows of Northern Yan people in front of her.
"This place never belonged to you!"
She looked towards Ling Yunxiao on the tower.
"General, this man cannot be kept alive!"
After saying that, she quickly drew out the knife hidden in her waist and pointed it at the middle-aged man in front of her who was wearing a navy blue short robe.
"He is an official of Northern Yan, and also a man of the Fourth Prince of Northern Yan. If he stays, he will become a big trouble!"
"Kill him!" This was the sentence Ling Yunxiao was waiting for.
As soon as Ling Yunxiao finished his words, the guard Qin Yu had already approached and slashed with his sword.
The man hadn't reacted yet. The moment his head fell to the ground, all the people of Beiyan turned pale with fear. No one wanted to stay any longer.
They rushed to the city gate.
Jiang Yue and Zhang Yan did not stop them, but let them leave the city.
Killing civilians was not their original intention.
What they wanted was to drive them away, retake Liangzhou, and defeat all enemy forces in Northern Yan.
The people of Northern Yan were driven away one after another.
Yu Ziyan, who had taken off her Northern Yan costume, had already returned to Liangzhou Street.
She tied her hair up in a bun and put away her girlish attitude.
Last night, she fought against the Beiyan soldiers together with the Donglin soldiers.
She was the daughter of a military commander, and she was once very heroic, but she could not fight against the numerous armies of Northern Yan alone. However, she did have some third-rate martial arts skills.
She was not strong enough to fight against Yelu Xiong, but she had no problem dealing with ordinary Northern Yan soldiers.
As helpless as she was in the past, she now has as much courage as she did now.
As for the Liangzhou city tower, why was it so smooth?
Behind the success, there is Xia Yuanchen backing him up.
...Two hours ago,
Liangzhou enemy camp,
Yu Mo, the enemy general of Liangzhou who was originally fast asleep in the tent, suddenly suffered from insomnia in the second half of the night.
Unable to sleep, he held the letter sent by their King of Northern Yan in his hand, his face full of joy.
"Fifty thousand reinforcements will arrive in two hours? They come at the perfect time!"
"The Fourth Prince will come to Liangzhou soon? Hahaha, that's great! If the Fourth Prince comes, that Donglin kid Ling Yunxiao will have to run away overnight with his tail between his legs."
"Ling Yunxiao, ah Ling Yunxiao, you killed so many of our Northern Yan soldiers. This time, don't even think about escaping. I will use your head to ask for a seat with the general, hahahaha..."
Originally, there were no military camps outside the city.
The military camps were all set up on the battlefield. It was because Youlan City had been breached.
Therefore, all the soldiers in their military camp outside the city were the ones who came with Yuwen Jian last time, and later withdrew and retreated here.
Even though they had suffered a series of casualties in Northern Yan, they were still in Northern Desert, a land on horseback, with many strong generals.
No matter how powerful Dong Lin Ling Yunxiao was, he could not kill all the generals of Bei Yan.
The enemy general Yu Mo always thought that the other generals died because they fell into Ling Yunxiao's dirty trap.
In his opinion, Ling Yunxiao was a sinister and cunning person, and he would certainly not fall for his tricks.
Now, he was thinking about how to avenge his previous shame.
Suddenly, the sentry outside the tent reported:
"General, the Donglin Army is coming and heading towards Liangzhou!"
"When did it happen?" The enemy general Yu Mo was suddenly startled. He dropped the teacup on the table, jumped up, and immediately lifted the curtain and went out of the tent.
