Chapter 438 Flesh Millstone
Chapter 438 Flesh Millstone
The chaos on Anyuan Street became uncontrollable due to bloodshed.
Everyone was exerting all their strength and rushing forward.
In an instant, the gate of the government office was flooded.
The wide gate now became extremely narrow and was completely blocked.
The clerks who were originally behind the government office looked at everything in front of them with some horror.
In their eyes, these warriors were like the enemy troops they encountered on the battlefield.
His eyes were filled with hatred and anger, and when he looked over,
It made all of them feel cold, as if they were falling into an icy cave and were about to be torn apart.
The entire Anyuan Street was filled with noise and fighting, and was extremely chaotic.
Even Lu Yunyi, who was standing on the stone lion at the back, found it a little unbelievable. It was the first time he had seen a civil uprising.
At this moment, I also deeply realized that water can carry a boat, but can also capsize it.
The guards under the stone lions all had serious expressions.
A pair of hands grasped the crossbow at the waist without leaving any trace.
Even two soldiers had already grasped the stone mines hanging around their waists.
I was afraid that the people in front of me would vent their anger on others.
At this moment, their palms were soaked with cold sweat and their minds were tense to the extreme.
Lu Yunyi's eye sockets were deep, and he clearly saw that the official in the scarlet robe was submerged in the crowd and did not show his head at this moment.
In such a surging crowd with people trampling on each other, it was almost impossible for Feng Xu to survive.
A prefect of the fourth rank died at the gate of the yamen.
Even though he was a soldier, he knew that something big had happened.
No matter how it is handled, it will be a huge blow to the prestige of the court.
This may be the purpose of some people behind the scenes.
In fact, Lu Yunyi could already foresee that
Someone in the capital has already prepared a memorial, and as soon as the matter reaches the capital, the memorial will be submitted.
Everyone inside and outside was saying that the imperial court was as harsh as a tiger.
The local area was in chaos, forcing the court to make concessions.
call.
Lu Yunyi's breathing was a little heavy, even though he had seen many life and death scenes.
He also read in history books about some people using the people as weapons to rebel against the imperial court.
But what is happening before our eyes is still very different from what we see in books.
This kind of impact almost made his heart beat wildly.
The riot was still going on. Porters and common people had already rushed into the government office and were killing people.
Listening to the noisy sounds around him, Lu Yunyi was a little absent-minded.
He wanted to enlighten the people, even though the court had done so much.
But whether in the civilian population or in the military, there were very few people who could read.
This situation caused him a lot of trouble in the army.
In the Ming Dynasty, this situation also brought trouble to the court's governance of the local areas.
This made Lu Yunyi even more certain that educating people about literacy and enlightening their minds was the right path.
Although the road is tortuous, the future is bright.
Just as his thoughts were in a mess, the sound of horns suddenly rang out from both sides of the street, followed by the sound of violent horse hooves!
Lu Yunyi looked in the direction of the sound and saw clouds of dust rising on both sides of Anyuan Street, with countless soldiers appearing in the smoke.
The city defense forces arrived late.
Lu Yunyi put away his thoughts, picked up the telescope, and scanned back and forth between the left and right sides.
Soon, his sight fixed on an official in his fifties who was wearing a scarlet robe, was tall and had an imposing manner!
He was riding on a warhorse, and although he was wearing the robes of a civil official,
But no matter his aura or the momentum of his gestures, he seemed to be in the military.
Lu Yunyi soon found out who the visitor was.
Huguang Provincial Administration Commissioner, Right Governor Chen Zhize.
Because Huguang was the most important strategic location in the interior of the Ming Dynasty,
It is also a place that military strategists must fight for, so there are a lot of soldiers.
From the earliest Duke of Wei, Deng Yu, to the later Duke of Dongguan, He Zhen,
They were all appointed as local officials because of their military merits and achievements, and the effect was very good.
This has become a tradition. Today, the Left Governor of Huguang is a civil servant, and the Right Governor is a military general, which can be considered a continuation.
The riots came to a temporary halt due to the arrival of the city defense forces.
It was as if the pause button was suddenly pressed and the scene became dead silent.
But in less than a moment, the rioting laborers and civilians no longer cared.
Still swarming into the government office,
He kept shouting words like "release him" and "kill the dog official".
Such scenes shocked many of the city defense troops who arrived and made them feel a little dazed.
Is this still Yuezhou City?
They were somewhat skeptical and came to a place where the rebels gathered.
Chen Zhize, who was sitting on his warhorse, saw the scene before him.
His face was extremely ugly, but his eyes were very calm.
He waved his hand and ordered in a deep voice:
"Go forward and arrest all those who are causing trouble. If there is resistance, kill them without mercy!"
As soon as the words fell, the horn sounded suddenly, followed by the rapid beating of drums.
dong dong dong-
It spread throughout Anyuan Street.
In the military, when drums sound, it is usually a call to attack or an order to go to war.
At this moment, here
This is an extreme measure taken because communication between the two sides of the street is impossible due to the crowd.
This made Lu Yunyi, who was in the middle of the street, narrow his eyes.
The appearance of the city defense forces and Chen Zhize deepened his speculation.
The goal is to make the matter bigger, the bigger the better.
Lu Yunyi stared at Chen Zhize, the veteran general in the army, with a gleam in his eyes.
Following this line of thought,
The person in front of me might be the one who poured hot oil on the fire!
Many city defense soldiers rushed forward with weapons in hand.
He kept shouting that he would not be killed unless he knelt down, and the scene became even more noisy.
The soldiers rushed into the crowd, punching and kicking.
In just a few moves, some of the civilians outside were knocked to the ground, and wailing filled the air.
"Don't hit me, I'm just here to watch the fun"
"Please spare my life, sir. I did not cause any trouble."
In addition to the cries for mercy, there were also some angry words:
"They are in cahoots with each other and want to kill us all!!"
“Turn back, turn back!!!”
The scene became increasingly chaotic, and a quarter of an hour passed in the blink of an eye.
The situation did not get better, but became more chaotic.
The city defense troops dragged some civilians away and tied them up.
But more people noticed what happened next.
They turned around one after another and used their weapons without hesitation.
Hoes, shovels, sticks, everything is available.
But they were unable to break through the soldiers' shields.
This also caused some people in the rear to throw stones continuously.
There were casualties on both sides.
Lu Yunyi watched the chaos from beginning to end.
My heart kept sinking. If the situation continued in this trend, it would become even more out of control.
He picked up the telescope and looked at the Right Governor Chen Zhize on the east side of the street and found that his expression was extremely solemn.
Moreover, Lu Yunyi's eyes condensed,
Liu Hong, the Tongzhi of Yuezhou, and Sun Zheng, the Tongpan of Yuezhou, were also found beside Chen Zhize.
Why aren't they in the yamen?
A question appeared in Lu Yunyi's mind and was soon answered.
He saw the two of them put their heads together, whispering something.
And the impartial smile on their lips. Lu Yunyi was full of danger and shouted:
"Panmilescope!"
Feng Yunfang, who was already extremely nervous below, shuddered and quickly threw the panorama from his waist up!
After Lu Yunyi took it, he immediately pointed the camera at Liu Hong and Sun Zheng, and kept turning the knob.
Soon, the faces of the two people became like washbasins and appeared in Lu Yunyi's eyes.
That faint smile became clearer and more obvious.
"call"
Lu Yunyi understood.
This chaos started with internal discord in the Yuezhou government, and today the situation is completely out of control.
These two are the internal "support".
Just as Lu Yunyi was thinking, Chen Zhize, who had been looking grim all the time, made a move.
He waved his hand vigorously, and two words could be heard from his mouth shape.
"Fight back!"
As soon as these words came out, the originally chaotic scene suddenly became solemn and murderous.
The deafening shouts and cries seemed to make the ground of Anyuan Street tremble.
The soldiers in the front row held spears.
The tip of the gun flashed a cold light in the sunlight, like the tongue of a poisonous snake ready to bite its prey.
Their steps were not so regular, their steps were not so firm,
But the weapon in his hand was filled with murderous intent.
Whether they want it or not, the tips of guns and knives will penetrate deeply into flesh and blood when they touch it!
Just as we saw before our eyes, the weapons mercilessly pierced into the bodies of the fighters who were at the front.
Phew——
The most common sound on the battlefield appeared.
Then there was an inaudible "tick-tick" sound.
Blood flowed out from the cold tip of the gun, quickly dyeing the front half of the tip scarlet.
It seemed that the tip of the gun could not withstand so much blood, and it flowed down, dripping onto the ground.
The smell of blood then gushed out and spread in all directions!
In an instant, the chaotic situation before us paused for a moment.
But it's not a pause before the end, but a preparation before the chaos really begins!
The next moment, Li Fu and the people were so angry that they could do nothing about it.
They had lost their livelihoods, and the government ignored them and even sent soldiers to kill them.
Things have come to this point and there is no way to resolve it!
kill--
Although some of the porters were unarmed,
But the anger has already made their adrenaline rush!
They stared with their red eyes, which were full of bloodshot, like burning flames, and took firm and powerful steps.
Take big steps and move forward quickly!
Use your heavy arms and calloused hands to grab the spears that are coming at you!
zizi
One hand tightly grasped the tip of the spear, using flesh and bones to block the fine iron.
The other hand held the gun tightly.
The palm of his hand was rubbed and bleeding, and the blood slowly dripped down the gun barrel.
However, they showed no signs of letting up.
Can't even feel the pain,
Instead, he used all his strength to pull desperately, trying to snatch the spear from the soldier's hand!
Long-term farming planning and clear division of labor during work,
Through what they have seen and heard, they have already acquired the most basic qualities as a warrior!
Li Fu, who was standing beside him, saw that the spear had stopped, but he did not divert his attention.
Instead, he pounced on her like a mad beast.
He hugged the soldier and started biting him, his teeth sinking deeply into the soldier's flesh!
"what"
The soldier felt pain and his body went limp for a moment, and his hands that were tightly gripping the spear became weak.
——The spear was pulled out violently.
The city defense troops on the west side brandished their swords, making whirring sounds in the air.
Every fall was accompanied by splattering blood and wails of pain.
The sharp blade chopped on the people, making a heart-pounding dull sound.
The bodies of the common people seemed even more fragile under the sword light.
A porter was hit in the shoulder, and half of his body was instantly stained with blood.
The flesh at the wound rolled outward, and the bones were vaguely visible.
The severe pain distorted their faces.
But the madness in his eyes never stopped.
The madness in my heart seemed to be spread with kerosene, and it came out of my eyes!
He endured the pain, firmly grasped the long sword with one hand, and grabbed the trouser legs of the city defense soldiers with the other hand!
The strong men beside him rushed forward and the offense and defense changed.
Some were hit in the legs and fell to their knees with a thud.
His knees hit the bloody ground hard, splashing blood.
But they still struggled to crawl forward, leaving bloody marks on the ground with their hands.
Shouting words like "revenge",
The voice was full of despair and anger, with a hint of indomitable spirit.
When a man dies, the bird flies up to the sky, and eighteen years later he is a hero again.
Next to Chen Zhize, Liu Hong, the Tongzhi of Yuezhou, saw this scene.
His heart couldn't help but tremble. He spoke sharply and without hesitation:
"See? These are well-trained rebels.
Not a commoner, nor a laborer!! "
Sun Zheng on the side also quickly added, shouting forward:
"If you kneel down, you will not be killed. If you rebel, your entire clan will be exterminated!"
The two of them talked back and forth, and finally attracted Chen Zhize's somewhat cold gaze.
"Shut up!"
The two of them shut their mouths and behaved like ants.
Chen Zhize's eyes remained calm. As a general who had experienced troubled times,
Such scenes were still too immature and did not stir up any emotion in him at all.
He gave the order in a deep voice: "All troops, listen up. The rebels ahead are plotting rebellion, and we must not hold back!"
The messenger looked hesitant, but military orders were as heavy as mountains, and orders were passed out one after another.
The beating of the drums also became more rapid and powerful.
thump thump—
The whole Pingyuan Street became violent.
The city defense troops were also enraged and no longer held back.
The weapons in their hands were swung wantonly, and under the organized attack,
The ground beneath their feet was soon soaked with blood and turned muddy.
Every step made a creepy sound.
The scene was filled with the groans of the wounded and the struggles of the dying, a scene of horrific suffering.
In the rear, the city defense troops drew their bows and arrows, aiming at the civilians who were still pouring in.
At a command, a rain of arrows shot towards the crowd like locusts!
The people were unable to dodge and were shot and fell.
The arrow pierced through his chest, and the arrowhead came out of his back, leaving a bloody wound.
The injured person vomited blood, his body slowly fell down, his eyes full of unwillingness.
The arrow hit the abdomen, and the wounded covered the wound with both hands.
Their intestines slowly flowed out from between their fingers, and they lay on the ground writhing in pain.
Friends and relatives around them tried to help them up.
But they were dispersed by the influx of people.
They can only watch their loved ones gradually lose their lives in pain.
The entire Anyuan Street instantly turned into a living hell, with cries, shouts, and sounds of fighting intertwined.
The smell of chaos and blood permeated every inch of the air, making people suffocate.
Chen Zhize rode on his horse, watching all this with a stern expression.
There was no emotion in his eyes, as if this was just a cruel game that had nothing to do with him.
Lu Yunyi also looked at the scene in front of him calmly.
He suddenly felt that this scene was somewhat familiar.
It's like a "flesh grinder" on the battlefield.
Compared to the battlefield, the "flesh and blood grinder" here is much easier.
The civilian laborers without armor were easily crushed into pieces.
