The Record of Righteousness

Chapter 104: The City is Broken

Looking at the city of Jinan, this majestic and vicissitudes of life has stood for nearly a hundred years, and it has also protected the peace of the people of Jinan countless times.

This wall was built at the end of the Yuan and Mongolian rule.

In order to resist the tyranny of the Yuan and Mongolian foreigners, Emperor Taizu rose up. At that time, Emperor Taizu Gao was just a local overlord and had not yet become an emperor. He relied on Jinan as a place to store food and grass, and built a wide range of city walls to prepare for emergencies.

It was night.

The dark night merged with the majestic and towering city walls. Despite the heavy rain at this time, the two looked at each other in silence.

But at this time, the shadows of people under the city wall were playing a big drama with the bursting wind and rain.

The ground was already muddy under the ravages of the heavy rain.

The shouts and screams inside and outside the city shook the sky, and the hungry refugees outside the city wall were endless, and the black crowd bordered the horizon.

They were ragged, with haggard faces and skinny bodies, as if they were on the verge of death, but they kept running forward in the heavy rain.

All the officers and soldiers and dignitaries in the city were their targets of killing, and it was also their last crazy time before they died.

Natural disasters and man-made disasters gathered here, coupled with the heavy taxes and cruelty of the government, which became the last straw that broke the camel's back for the people.

The court did not regard them as human beings at all. No matter how many of them died, they would not arouse the sympathy and attention of the dignitaries.

Since they begged for half a month under the city of Jinan, what they got from the court every day was not relief food, but intensified bullying and extortion. Some officers and soldiers even killed people and robbed women, and did some shameful acts of reselling people.

It is unbearable and there is no need to endure it anymore! ! !

The evil White Lotus Sect hid among the hungry people. They repeated slogans over and over again with fanatical faces:

"White Lotus appears! Mingting should be destroyed!"

"Kill the dog officials! Steal the official grain! Avenge the blood feud! Enjoy peace!"

"Repay the mother of no birth in this life, and enjoy the prosperity and peace in the next life!"

"Don't be a grass, be a master! Why fear death? ! ! Brothers, kill! !!"

These slogans constantly stirred the hearts of the hungry army, and the hatred of being oppressed in the past surged into their hearts.

"Kill! ! ! "

These hungry people were full of crazy looks, pushing and shoving each other, holding various carrying poles, hoes and farm tools in their hands, densely packed with tens of thousands of people, frantically attacking this ancient city.

And the cloud ladders hidden secretly outside the city by the evil White Lotus Sect were lifted out by the hungry people under the temptation of the evil White Lotus Sect for attacking the city.

More than 20 ladders were erected on one wall alone, and the hungry refugees were like a black wave, climbing up the ladders like ants.

The hungry people roared, fearless of death, and climbed the ladders tirelessly one after another.

The ladders were pushed down again and again, but they were erected again in a breath.

Then the hungry people climbed the ladders, and were either hacked to death by the soldiers, shot to death by arrows, or hit to death by rolling logs and rocks.

Even so, they seemed to have forgotten death at this time, and climbed the ladders to welcome death more fanatically and morbidly than those White Lotus fanatics.

In just a moment, a small hill of corpses was piled up under the wall.

Accompanied by the roaring and shouting of killing.

The arrows shot down from the wall gradually became scarce, and the scattered arrows shot down could only kill dozens of hungry people, which was just a drop in the bucket and could not stop the tens of thousands of troops at all.

In such a heavy rain, more than a dozen Portuguese cannons imported from the West on the battlements of the city wall were completely ineffective, and the gold juice stored in the city wall guards was useless.

The defenders on the city wall were so scared by the overwhelming army of hungry people that their legs were weak.

Most of the old-fashioned soldiers had thrown away their weapons and ran away like the wind, shouting "Jinan City is broken, run! Run for your life!".

They were afraid that the world would not be in chaos.

But there were still many loyal people who were loyal to the court. They stood firm at their posts with a determined look on their faces, picked up the rolling stones and logs at their feet and threw them down.

Although more than a dozen anti-thieves and hungry people could be knocked down at once, at the moment when these soldiers bent down to pick up the rolling logs, several hungry people climbed up the city wall first, and smashed the soldiers' bodies with hoes and sickles in their hands.

After this gap was opened, all kinds of hungry people continued to pour out of the battlements of the city wall, and they rushed forward and directly cut the scattered resistance soldiers into pieces.

There were only more than 1,300 defenders, and after most of the old and oily deserters ran away, there were less than 200 soldiers left to defend the city wall.

At the same time, the soldiers who blocked the city gate were killed by the White Lotus spies, and the city gate was wide open.

The hungry people rushed in, climbed the tower and killed the soldiers.

Some groups of hungry people were so angry that they rushed into the houses and slaughtered the civilians wantonly to vent their anger.

For a time, the city of Jinan was like being infected with plague and smallpox, and panic and killing began to spread from the outside to the inside.

Thousands of hungry people seized the weapons of the soldiers, killed anyone they saw in the city, burned, killed and looted wantonly, and did not forget to set a fire at will, rendering the edge of the city red, and even such a strong wind and rain could not put it out.

Their past grievances were vented out at this moment.

The White Lotus Sect's hall master-level masters stationed at the four city gates had not yet made a move, and they easily seized three city gates with the help of those hungry people.

At this time, the main force of the White Lotus Sect had arrived, with more than 10,000 troops.

These elite infantrymen of the White Lotus Sect were very different from those hungry people.

They were not as weak as the starving people, but strong and well-equipped. Almost all of them wore armor stolen from Mingting.

They only had a large white silk scarf tied around their necks, and a blooming white lotus was outlined in ink on the front and back of their chest armor.

At this time, only the South Gate of the city wall was not broken, and the Mingting officers and soldiers here were the most fiercely resisting.

And Lan Zhiruo, the head of the Water Hall who was supposed to be stationed here, disappeared. The starving people could not attack it for a while and were deadlocked.

The Saint of the White Lotus Sect was furious when she heard the news. It was a taboo for military strategists that the main general disappeared during the attack.

She immediately allocated 7,000 elite infantry to besiege the South Gate with all her strength, and ordered Jin Yuan and Lin Junjie, who were stationed at the North Gate, to lead the troops to attack the city.

In just half an hour, the battering ram smashed the last gate, and all the Mingting officers and soldiers were killed without a single one left.

As for the burning, killing, raping and looting of the hungry people, the Saint did not take it to heart, but just turned a blind eye and let them kill and loot in the city at will.
