Chapter 857: Chaos in the City

"Tsk!"

Beheading is a technical job.

Don’t think that Su Yao can kill a person’s head with one sword, as if beheading is so easy.

But when it was Shen Pei's turn to actually take action, he failed to cut it off with his sword.

"My apologies, Envoy Han!"

Shen Pei gritted his teeth and let beads of sweat drip down. After calming himself down, he swung his sword again.

Second knife, third knife
Finally, this time the blade was deeply embedded in the flesh and blood, and with a dull sound, Han Fu's body was finally separated.

Shen Pei stood up, picked up his head with a pale face, wrapped it in cloth and hurried downstairs.

Under the pavilion, Min Chun and his personal guards were killing with great success, approaching the gate of the pavilion step by step.

"Envoy Han, hold on!"

"I will come to rescue you right now!"

"It's too late, Min Biejia!"

Shen Pei hurried downstairs and saw Min Chun shouting in the crowd. He shouted, raised the cloth bag in his hand, and tore off the cloth. Han Fu's lifeless head with wide-open eyes was exposed to everyone.

"The traitor Han Fu has been beheaded, why don't you surrender immediately?!"

"?!!"

For a moment, Min Chun felt as if he was struck by lightning. He stared at Han Fu's head and froze in place.

"No...impossible!"

Min Chun murmured to himself, his voice full of despair and disbelief. He staggered forward a few steps, as if being pulled by an invisible force, wanting to get closer to confirm whether all this was a nightmare.

Seeing Min Chun's look, Shen Pei shouted again to persuade him to surrender.

Han Fu was dead, and further resistance was meaningless. Immediately, several of Min Chun's personal soldiers lowered their heads.

However, Min Chun came to his senses and yelled, "Shen Pei, you bastard!"

There was a raging fire in Min Chun's eyes. He roared desperately and rushed towards Shen Pei like a madman, as if he wanted to eat Shen Pei alive.

Seeing this, the guards shouted and followed Min Chun. Although they were exhausted and wounded, their loyalty to Min Chun made them join the battle again without hesitation.

"Stop them, don't let any of them come!"

Ju Su lost no time in shouting, and the family soldiers acted quickly, wielding spears and swords, forming a tight line of defense, blocking Min Chun and others.

Min Chun waved his arms vigorously, trying to break through the defense line, but the morale of Han Fu's family soldiers was greatly boosted. They took advantage of their large numbers and cooperated with each other, making every step forward for Min Chun and others difficult.

Soon, new wounds appeared on Min Chun's body. Blood stained his clothes red and flowed down his arms and thighs, leaving a shocking bloody trail behind him.

Min Chun was extremely anxious. While fighting with his family soldiers, he turned to look at the guards around him, only to see that most of them were also seriously injured, and some were even exhausted and on the verge of collapse.

Min Chun knew in his heart that he was powerless to turn the situation around, but his loyalty to Han Fu made him unwilling to give up.

He gritted his teeth and shouted at the remaining guards with all his strength:
"Brothers, retreat! Let's go back to the city, gather our old men, and fight these traitors to the death!"

Under the leadership of Min Chun, these people came and went quickly. They fought and retreated. The family soldiers were confident of victory and were unwilling to fight to the death. Min Chun and others soon found an opportunity to successfully break through the siege and rush towards the city.

Ju Shou looked at Min Chun's departing back, frowning, feeling slightly dissatisfied, but still turned to Shen Pei and said:
"Zhengnan, Han Fu is dead. Although the remnants of Min Chun are not to be feared, in order to prevent the night from getting longer and more nightmares, the most urgent task is to quickly welcome General Su into the city and completely quell the chaos in Gaoyi City." "Gong Yu is right. Let's rush to the city gate now."

After saying this, Shen Pei rewrapped Han Fu's head, and together with Ju Shou and his family soldiers, hurried towards the city gate.

Their journey was not smooth, as there were enemies causing trouble everywhere.

Min Chun himself was not seen again after his escape, but his calls along the way attracted many scattered defenders to come and intercept Ju Shou, Shen Pei and others.

However, in addition to these regular soldiers, there were more stragglers who were frightened by the approaching Su Yao army and fled in panic, as well as scoundrels who took advantage of the chaos to rob.

What's funny is that for Ju Shou and others, regular soldiers were better off. They could rely on their status and Han Fu's head to dissuade the enemy and even partially recruit them.

But those rebels and scoundrels were completely unscrupulous.

They took advantage of the fact that the army was besieging the city and the generals were out of office to rob houses and rob people on the road. Some even secretly set fires in an attempt to gain various benefits from the chaos.

Although these people did not dare to directly intercept Ju Shou and his party because of their large numbers and powerful forces, the chaos and panic they created in the city greatly hindered the journey of Ju Shou and his party.

The streets, which had been relatively clean, were now filled with billowing smoke and flames. People were running around in panic, with cries and shouts mixed together, as if it was hell on earth.

Ju Su looked at the tragic scene in front of him, and his brows twisted into the shape of the Chinese character "川":

"If this chaos is not quelled quickly, Gaoyi City will be destroyed."

Shen Pei snorted coldly and tightened his grip on the long sword in his hand:

"These rebels will be wiped out once the situation is pacified!"

In order to get to the city gate as quickly as possible, Ju Shou and Shen Pei had to allocate some of their family soldiers to disperse the scoundrels who took advantage of the fire to loot, help the people put out the fire and rescue people, and clear blocked roads.

However, this undoubtedly slowed down their advance, and what was worse was that every time they were delayed here, the resistance force that Min Chun mobilized and gathered in the dark became stronger.

Just then, when they had finally cleared a passage and were about to continue on their way, a burst of dense arrow sounds suddenly came from the front.

"No!"

"what--"

"Cover, find cover!"

While shouting, Shen Pei crouched and rushed to the side of the road, using the houses and obstacles on the street for cover.

In a hurry, he looked up and saw that it turned out that it was another scattered group of defenders recruited by Min Chun who occupied a commanding point on the street and were shooting at Ju Shou and others.

"Damn it, it's a crossbowman!"

Ju Su exclaimed, his heart pounding.

It was a desperate nightmare for these unprotected family soldiers to encounter enemy archers on the narrow road.

Just the first round of surprise attack caused more than 20 casualties among them.

Looking at the family soldiers wailing and screaming on the ground, Shen Pei gnashed his teeth:
"We must find a way to break through here."

"Otherwise we're all done!"

Shen Pei knew very well that Min Chun would surely die in front of Su Yao's army, but the man who had gone crazy would never let them go easily.

If they cannot leave here as soon as possible and welcome Su Yao's army into the city, they will surely die without a burial place.
