Actually, before Yao Gang gave the order...
The soldiers who left the city became somewhat scattered.
These officers and soldiers were considered elite.
But they only suppressed some bandits.
When have I ever seen a well-organized cavalry charge?
The officers and soldiers were already terrified by the earth-shaking force of that day.
Upon hearing Yao Gang's order,
They immediately swarmed into the city gate.
Yao Gang's original intention was to have more of his troops escape back to the city.
But he was quickly dumbfounded.
A thousand soldiers crowded to the edge of the suspension bridge.
They all wanted to escape back first.
Instead, it blocked the road.
Several people were pushed into the moat.
Chapter 1625 The Thief's Heart Remains Undiminished
Yao Gang found it difficult to even approach the suspension bridge.
The warhorse slowed down,
Luan Tingyu had already caught up from behind.
Yao Gang had just turned his horse around to prepare for battle.
Then they saw the spear sweeping across.
It was too late to dodge.
A fine head fell from the horse as the halberd swept past.
Luan Tingyu killed Yao Gang.
He spurred his horse and charged into the ranks of the government troops.
The spear thrusts left and right.
In the blink of an eye
They fought their way out.
They rushed to seize the suspension bridge.
Upon seeing this, the soldiers on the city wall...
They no longer cared about the troops outside the city.
He hurriedly shouted, "Lower the drawbridge! Lower the drawbridge!"
"Squeak!"
As the winch rotates,
The heavy suspension bridge slowly rose, carrying the officers and soldiers on it.
The officers and soldiers outside the suspension bridge immediately became anxious.
They desperately lunged towards the suspension bridge.
The sudden increase in weight,
This also made the suspension bridge retract at a snail's pace.
"Break!"
Luan Tingyu rushed to the suspension bridge.
I glanced at the steel cable made of iron rings as thick as a finger.
He drew his sword and slashed it hard at the steel cable.
"clang!"
A clear, metallic clang rang out.
The steel cable broke in two.
Luan Ting's longsword slashed down again.
Another crisp sound.
The other steel cable was also cut into two sections.
The suspension bridge, which had just been raised a little over a foot, crashed to the ground with a loud thud.
A cloud of dust suddenly spread out in all directions.
Luan Tingyu heard the sound of approaching hooves from behind.
Knowing that Dong Ping's cavalry had already charged in.
They dared not stand in the way of the charge.
They rode their horses across the drawbridge and charged straight into the city.
Inside the main hall of the yamen, Miao Shanggao and his entire family sat anxiously.
Each person also carried a bundle on their back.
They were clearly prepared to escape.
When the Liangshan troops were several miles from the city,
Miao Shanggao then had his family pack their valuables.
He then dispatched all the yamen runners to the area between the city gate and the yamen.
As soon as the bandits enter the city...
It was passed down by word of mouth.
Straight to the government office,
They can run away.
He fled after the city fell.
With a little effort
They might even get credit for bravely defending the city.
If we abandon the city directly,
The news reached the imperial court.
That must be a serious crime.
Miao Yanei sat in the main hall for a while.
Seeing that there was no movement,
Then I thought of the shy flower at Houyaguan.
I couldn't help but feel an irresistible itch.
These days he's afraid the flower will commit suicide out of shame.
I never dared to touch her.
The original intention was to gradually win back Xiuhua's heart.
She would later become his concubine.
But given the current situation...
Who knows, the bandits might break in without warning.
He ran away.
The shameful flower doesn't even know who benefited from it.
He might as well enjoy himself now.
It was Xiuhua who committed suicide.
At least he'd tasted it.
Otherwise, it would be a waste of time and effort.
Isn't he being wronged?
Thinking of this,
Miao Yanei then stood up and walked outside.
Seeing him walk out, Miao Shanggao asked, "Where are you going?"
Miao Yanei stopped and said with a smile, "Go take a break."
There is nothing better than knowing a son like a father;
Miao Yanei's wicked thoughts,
Miao Shanggao certainly knew.
Miao Shanggao glared at Miao Yanei and shouted, "You're not allowed to go to the back office!"
"Otherwise, when the bandits enter the city, we will not be able to wait for you."
Miao Yanei said with a grin,
"No, no, I'll just go to the bathroom and be right back."
Miao Yanei gave his father a perfunctory reply.
Stepping out of the lobby,
Seeing that his father hadn't come out,
He then quickly slipped away to the back.
Chapter 1626 Captured
"Something terrible has happened! General Yao has led his troops out of the city."
"Something terrible has happened! General Yao has led his troops out of the city!"
Before I even took a few steps,
Then a series of shouts were heard coming from afar.
Miao Yanei knew that it was his father's subordinates on the street who were relaying the message.
This method of relaying messages is much faster than having people run around delivering them.
However, the side effects are also obvious.
With that shout,
The people in half the city knew about it.
Miao Yanei also stopped in his tracks.
He turned and ran towards the lobby.
He had just run into the lobby.
The yamen runners at the gate also started shouting.
Miao Shanggao listened,
His expression changed drastically, and he stood up.
