From the fake emperor to the concubine

This fight made General Chang truly realize that this time's rebels were completely different from the previous ones.

With his intervention, the battle became a one-sided crushing situation.

However, this battle took much longer to end than he had imagined.

Even though the rebels who were sent to attack the city gate were the elite among the rebels, their performance was still beyond expectations.

General Chang was very worried about how many people like this there would be among the tens of thousands of rebel troops.

"Absolutely impossible." General Chang shook his head vigorously to drive this terrible idea out of his mind.

However, he himself probably didn't know to what extent the dark clouds in his heart had been dispelled.

Just as he was thinking of rushing to the city wall to observe the situation of the rebels, smoke signals suddenly rose from several other city gates at the same time.

"These damned villains!"

It is not uncommon to seize the gates, but General Chang never expected that these guys would attack the three city gates at the same time.

This left him no time to make any other responses.

"Take a few people with you and rush to the South City Gate for support as quickly as possible. If you find that the city gate has been breached, notify me as quickly as possible."

General Chang selected a few of his personal guards and asked them to rush over to provide support as quickly as possible.

He led the remaining people to support the remaining city gate.

General Chang didn't know whether it was too late or not, but under the current circumstances, this was the only solution he could think of.

We can only hope that those people can hold on until reinforcements arrive.

General Chang did not hold out much hope for this, after all, the defenders on the city wall were much closer to them.

If he can't stop it in this situation, there is no way his people will make it in time.

They are all powerful monks. When they exert their full strength, their speed is much faster than a galloping horse.

When General Chang saw the city gate from afar, he couldn't help but gasp.

A dozen rebels were guarding the gate, blocking the densely packed guards outside. Below the city gate, four rebels had opened the gate a small gap.

The rebel army outside began to attack the city gate with loud shouts and cries.

Because of the defeat at the city gate, the morale of the defenders on the city wall became unstable and they were almost unable to form a decent resistance.

"Stop it, you thief!" General Chang's angry roar echoed throughout the city walls.

They stepped on the heads of the defenders, rushed into the city gate, and killed the resisting Qingshan soldiers in pieces.

Although those soldiers were fighting hard, their resistance seemed so futile in the face of the absolute gap in strength.

The four Qingshan Army soldiers who were trying hard to open the city gate wanted to do their best to push the city gate open as much as possible before General Chang arrived.

But they only pushed the heavy city gate open to a gap of less than an inch, and General Chang came with the force of thunder and killed several people on the spot.

At this time, the nearest Qingshan Army soldiers outside the city were still several feet away from the city gate.

General Chang, who had defeated the enemy troops who had seized the gate, ordered the defenders to close the city gate, and seven or eight people put on the huge bolt.

"Although the enemy is numerous, we have the protection of the city walls, so there is no need to be afraid!"

"Everyone defend the city walls. Do not evacuate without orders. Anyone who disobeys military orders will be punished by military law!"

Without saying too much, General Chang, who was worried, hurried to the city gate to send his subordinates for support.

But this time, when he was halfway there, he heard thunderous cheers coming from the front.

"It's over!" General Chang's heart sank to the bottom.

He knew without even having to go over there that the rebels had successfully broken through the city gate.

If they can defend the city gate and have the city wall, General Chang will be confident that he can defend Linjiang City even if the rebels outnumber them by a lot.

But without the protection of the city walls, they would definitely not be able to hold out with such a small number of people.

General Chang decisively gave up rushing to the city gate and rushed back to the city lord.

"Lord City Lord, Linjiang City can no longer be defended. I will protect you and leave immediately."

"What's going on?" asked the city lord in disbelief.

Not long ago, the other party had solemnly assured him that they could defend Linjiang City.

How long has it been since?

While inquiring for details, the city lord was not idle either. He rushed to the north gate with General Chang as quickly as possible.

At this point, the most important thing is to save your life first, and everything else can be dealt with later.

"Those rebels had already sent people to infiltrate Linjiang City, and the three city gates were attacked at the same time."

"Although I fought desperately and successfully defended the two city gates, it was a pity that we were ambushed by those despicable guys in the end."

"Without the protection of the city wall, we are definitely no match for the bandits. In order to protect your safety and prevent the bandits from taking advantage of the situation, I can only bear the pain and take you away first."

General Chang gave the city lord a way out. Although the city lord cursed him as a waste in his heart, he said righteously on the surface: "General Chang is right. There is no need for us to compete with the bandit army for a short time."

"The enemy army sent spies to infiltrate the city's defenders and persuade them to cooperate. This is something we never expected."

"For now, we naturally need to conserve our strength and prepare for a counterattack."

General Chang was also frightened. These civil servants were really cruel. They made up so many excuses in a short time.

I don’t know who will be the scapegoat for this evil plot.

But in this situation, he should be thankful that he could save himself and he couldn't care about anyone else.

For the people of Linjiang City, today is definitely a magical day.

I just heard this morning that some rebels were planning to attack the city, so everyone hid back in their homes and didn't dare to leave the city.

"Everyone, hide well and don't run around." In a dilapidated house, Zhang Laoshi was comforting his family in panic.

Although the house was run-down, it was very clean. However, the most noticeable thing in the house was the several tablets in the main hall, each of which was wiped clean and shiny as new.

His wife was also so frightened that her face turned pale: "Master, what should we do? I heard that these rebels are demons who kill without blinking an eye."

"A few years ago, when the rebels were raging, my third aunt's village was attacked by the rebels. At that time, there were almost no survivors in the entire village."

Although the man was also panicked, looking at the terrified child, he could only force himself to comfort him: "The government troops are here. We are in the county town, not those remote small villages. It is not so easy for the rebels to break in."

In a magnificent mansion in the distance, people were also in a panic.

The servants and maids ran around like headless flies.

Master Shen sat in the lobby, tapping the ground heavily with his cane: "Why are you panicking? They are just rebels. Do you really think they can cause any big trouble?"

"Boss, take some food and half of the servants with you to help the government troops defend the city."

Upon hearing his father's arrangement, Mr. Shen's eldest son turned pale with fear: "Father...Father, that's the rebels attacking the city, what if..." Mr. Shen said angrily: "Why did I give birth to such a fool like you?"

"Do you really think those rebels are that powerful? They are just a bunch of useless people who don't have enough food to eat and can't even lift a hoe."

"Over the years, there have been so many rebels, but has any of them succeeded? Even if they have more people, it would be wishful thinking for them to capture the city wall."

"You are at least at the foundation-building stage, much stronger than those rebels and peasants. Plus, you have the protection of the garrison, so what can go wrong?"

"But when we defeated the rebels, you assisted the government troops in fighting against the bandits, and your contribution was real."

After hearing his father's analysis, Mr. Shen's eldest son's eyes became brighter and brighter: "Father, you are absolutely right. I will go now."

Just now he was so scared that he couldn't move, but now that he heard that he had made a contribution, this guy seemed to be full of strength.

"Second brother, take the remaining half of the servants and look after this house. If you find anyone plotting something bad or doing something dishonest." A cold light flashed in Mr. Shen's eyes: "Kill them all!"

The second son of the Shen family grumbled in dissatisfaction: "You let my eldest brother do the meritorious work, but you leave all these trivial matters to me. How biased."

Mr. Shen raised his cane and hit him: "You are an idiot without any sense."

"If your elder brother has made contributions, the court will at least reward him with an official position. When he becomes an official, who will I be able to take care of these family matters?"

At this point, the second son of the Shen family's eyes also began to light up: "I understand, father. I'll go get ready now."

Just when Mr. Shen was feeling complacent and thought he had taken care of everything.

But suddenly someone outside shouted, "Oh no! The city has been breached and the rebels are charging into the city."

Mr. Shen couldn't believe his ears: "How is it possible? They are just rebels. How could they possibly break through the county wall?"

By the time he had people find out clearly that the rebels had indeed entered Linjiang City, it was too late to escape.

The only thing we can do is to close the door of the house and wait for what might happen next.

Even He Chengpi didn't expect that Linjiang City would be so easy to attack.

They just randomly sent some death squads to seize the city gate, and then the main army charged and took down the iron-clad Linjiang City.

"All this is thanks to the military advisor's planning." He Chengpi was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth.

Tang Jianjun's expression was very serious: "Marshal, taking Linjiang City is nothing. The most important thing is how we move forward."

"Do you intend to use Linjiang City as capital for the future, or do you just want to simply rob it and leave?"

He Chengpi said without thinking: "Military Advisor, your question is a bit strange. We are ordinary people. We revolted because we couldn't survive and wanted to find a way to survive."

"How could they be like bandits, robbing and killing civilians at will?"

Tang Jianjun nodded secretly: "In this case, I will arrange it according to the original plan."

"Well... you bastard, don't leave." Just as he was saying this, He Chengpi suddenly soared into the sky and rushed towards a figure on the roof.

This person was the enemy who killed his sworn brother.

Tang Jianjun was very satisfied with He Chengpi's reaction. She was originally worried that Tang Jianjun would change his mind after conquering Linjiang City.

After all, there is a county town in front of them now. As long as they burn, kill and loot here, they can get wealth that they never dared to imagine before.

In this situation, people's hearts may not change.

"This guy really has some chivalrous spirit." He took a look at He Chengpi who was fighting a bloody battle with the enemy in the air.

Tang Jianjun began to do his work in an orderly manner.

"Pass the order down. Anyone who kills civilians will be put to death. Anyone who robs civilians will be put to death. Anyone who insults women will be put to death!"

"All military police are responsible for monitoring. Anyone who violates these three rules will be executed on the spot, regardless of whether they are Qingshan Army soldiers or not."

"If any military police protect or conceal this, they will be guilty of the same crime!"

Tang Jianjun had emphasized these orders repeatedly before attacking Linjiang City.

Because his teacher once told him that an army that fights for the people of the world is invincible, no matter how strong their equipment is.

Tang Jianjun didn’t know whether the teacher was right or not, but he believed everything the teacher said.

The city lord and the commander-in-chief both fled, and the morale of the Linjiang City army dropped to its lowest point.

Many people pretended to resist for a few times and then simply raised their hands in surrender.

There were some who fought to the death, but as the city lord and the commander had already escaped, they were only a minority among the few.

After completely controlling Linjiang City, Tang Jianjun immediately blocked the entire city.

As for the city lord and General Chang who escaped from the city, the people of Qingshan Army were not interested in dealing with them.

After all, the city is much more important than them.

Originally everyone thought that after the rebels captured Linjiang City, there would be a period of burning, killing and looting.

But soon, they discovered that this behavior did not happen at all.

In the entire Linjiang City, there was almost no other sound except the orders given by the rebels to mobilize their troops.

Many people couldn't help but look outside through the crack in the door out of curiosity.

The Qingshan Army, dressed like ordinary people and carrying various weapons, came and went in a hurry, muttering to themselves.

"This is really annoying. We've been there several times."

"Why do they get all the good things? It's just opening the city gate, what's so great about that?"

"Brothers, watch out! Those who kill civilians, rob property, and abuse women, don't let any of them go!"

After seeing this for a long time, the people of Linjiang City were surprised to find that this army was completely different from the rebels in the legend.

Not only did they not disturb the public, they even worked hard to maintain public order in the city.

Some ruffians who wanted to take advantage of the situation to rob were caught by the Qingshan Army and beheaded directly on the street.

"Do you think they are just finding a random excuse to kill people?" someone couldn't help but speculate.

After all, they had never seen or even heard of an army that cared so much for its people.

"It shouldn't be. The one I just chopped off, I remember it was Cen Lao San, a famous scoundrel."

The most important thing is that when the Qingshan Army was killing people, there was someone next to them reading out the person’s crime.

"Cen Lao San, rob the shops and kill!"

"Fang Wu, arson and killing!"

"Liu Jishan, sergeant of the Qingshan Army, will be killed for humiliating women!"

The last name immediately made the people watching from the surrounding area excited. (End of this chapter)
