Chapter 463 The Change of Wancheng (1)
The situation in Wancheng is now complicated. While we are closing the door to thank our guests, Yang Tao must think carefully about what he should do next.
Originally, Nanyang was just because of the Yin family, but now the situation in Wancheng is beyond expectations. Once there is a change in Wancheng, the Han army will take the opportunity to attack, and it would be good if it is taken into it by itself.
Just as Yang Tao was thinking about where to go, a major change occurred in Nanyang City. To be precise, the relationship between Zhao Ci and the Nanyang family, which had long been full of cracks, finally broke down.
Just three days after Yang Tao closed his door and thanked the guests, a fire suddenly appeared in the south of the city, and the whole sky was red. People in Wancheng could see it no matter where they were, which immediately alarmed countless people in the city.
After finding out where the fire in the city appeared, the city immediately fell into chaos. The private soldiers of the aristocratic families fought with Zhao Ci's troops in the city, and the entire city suddenly fell into the beacon.
The place where the fire burned was not elsewhere, it was the Li family, one of the aristocratic families in Nanyang City. However, the Li family was also one of the aristocratic families that originally supported Zhao Ci, and it was also the leading family among them.
In the current subtle situation in Wancheng, a fire suddenly broke out in the Li family. Hundreds of relatives and servants were buried in the fire, and none of them escaped. The rest of the aristocratic families in the city smelled the scent of conspiracy and directly attributed the fire to Zhao Ci's actions.
In order to avoid the fire from appearing on his head, within less than a few hours of the fire, many heads of aristocratic families gathered together for a while and gathered a large number of private soldiers from each family to launch an offensive that night, attacking the city lord's mansion in the inner city, attempting to kill Zhao Ci, and immediately fought with Zhao Ci's rebel troops.
The battle between two soldiers and horses in the city instantly triggered the chaos in Wancheng. During the battle between the two soldiers and horses, other powerful families who had been suppressed by Zhao Ci and the supporter of Zhao Ci for a long time also took advantage of the chaos to participate, making the already chaotic Wancheng even more chaotic, with shouts of killing everywhere. Even Yang Tao and others in the inn may not have escaped from the chaos and were involved.
Yang Tao's troops in Wancheng were only hundreds of people around him, and the rest were outside the city. After all, Wancheng was the territory of Zhao Ci and others, so Yang Tao's large squadrons could not enter the city. Now the city is in chaos. Yang Tao could not participate in the battle in the city with these troops around him, and could only lead hundreds of people to travel outside the city.
"Drink!" With a loud shout, Yang Tao waved the painting halberd in his hand, and killed several soldiers who were blocking the road in front of him who were unknown. He led his subordinates to rush out of the chaos and battle of thousands of people and rushed out of a street in the outer city.
Looking around, there were fires everywhere in Wancheng, and there were thick smoke everywhere, which was extremely choking. In this late night, there was a place where the shouts of killing sounds were everywhere. Yang Tao, who had only been in Wancheng for half a month, only had a rough understanding of Wancheng. In this chaotic and fighting in Wancheng, even locals may not be able to tell the direction of leaving the city, let alone Yang Tao and others. With their understanding alone, it is far from enough for them to find the way out of the city in such a chaotic night.
"I don't know where this place is, I can only take one step at a time." Yang Tao was thinking, and another unknown soldier came towards him. Now fierce battles have occurred in front, back and left and right. He fell into this chaotic city and could only fight all the way out to have a glimmer of hope.
Facing the thousands of soldiers coming towards him, Yang Tao led hundreds of troops around him and rushed forward. After half an hour of fierce fighting and defeating the troops, Yang Tao did not pursue and continued to move forward. As long as he could keep moving forward, he could always find a way out of the city.
However, Yang Tao and others may not be able to keep moving forward. The battles in the city range from hundreds or thousands of soldiers to tens of thousands. With only hundreds of soldiers around Yang Tao, even if they are good at ordinary soldiers in the army, and the famous general Gao Shun, he can't just rely on such a few people to attack the battlefield of tens of thousands of people. In such a situation, they can only take a detour.
Now Yang Tao has experienced many battles and bypassed many battlefields of tens of thousands of people. In the end, until dawn, Yang Tao and others did not go around Wancheng.
"This Wancheng is too big, half the size of Luoyang City, more than 20 kilometers long and wide, several times that of other county towns... Cough cough cough..." Yang Tao muttered to himself, and gasped for a while without saying a few words.
All the way, there were constant battles between all sizes and big ones. Yang Tao and others fought for a night, almost never stopped. They ran and ran and encountered soldiers and horses, and fought with them again and again. They were already covered in blood and extremely tired. Most of the weapons in their hands were curled up, covered with gaps, and were not in shape, and they were almost unusable. It was time to replace the weapons.
Taking advantage of the brightness of today, Yang Tao looked around and looked for a place to rest for a while, so that the soldiers who had fought all night could rest for a while to replace their weapons. However, Yang Tao looked around and no one knew where he was in the city. Apart from the corpse lying all over the ground, there was no living person on the street, and the buildings on both sides of the street had long been beyond recognition. There were houses filled with smoke everywhere. Even the streets were occupied by collapsed houses on both sides, and the eyes were full of ruins. There were only the sound of fighting from a distance in the entire street market.
Yang Tao looked around and found a collapsed ruin near the street. He temporarily calmed down the soldiers around him. After a night of fierce fighting, only more than a hundred remaining soldiers were left. Everyone looked extremely embarrassed, and they didn't know whether the blood on their bodies was his own or left when they killed the enemy.
Yang Tao had no time to sigh, drinking water from the Hunyuan bag and distributing it to the remaining 100 people, and then took out weapons and armor from the bag for everyone to replace it.
Fortunately, the weapons and armor in the hands of the generals Yang Tao and others were all silver-level equipment. Even if they fought all night last night, there was no big problem and they could continue to use it. Otherwise, Yang Tao and others could only use the soldiers' equipment. Once this happens, Yang Tao and others will be even more dangerous in this dangerous Wancheng.
"From the looming sound of fighting from afar, the battle in Wancheng has calmed down, at least not as fierce as last night." Yang Tao rested for a while and recovered some of his strength, then followed the sound to look into the distance. From the direction where the sound came, the battle in Wancheng has become calm. There are only a few sporadic battles left in the outer city, and only the inner city is still very fierce.
Standing on the roof of a restaurant with only one corner of the five-story collapsed, Yang Tao looked down at the entire Wancheng. Through the faint light in the morning and the smoke and dust everywhere, Yang Tao roughly judged that the place where he and his people were located was in the southwest corner of the outer city of Wancheng. From the roof, the entire Wancheng had collapsed at least three or four floors. The entire city was covered with beacon fires. There were still many fires burning in the place where they could see them. There were still several teams of dozens or hundreds fighting in several street markets, and there were people fleeing everywhere.
