    Shi Quan came out of the cell safe and sound, and now he said that he would hold a happy event tomorrow, which made them even more happy. Both Shi and Feng's families were very happy and wished they could fly back to Yong'an County right away.  I happily followed the official road and headed towards Yong'an County.

    Along the way, there were a lot of people heading west to Luoyang City, but there were very few people heading in the same direction as them. There was also Yanshi County between Luoyang City and Yong'an County. When King Wu of Zhou conquered Zhou, he was in the county seat.  The city was built in the east to guard Yanrong divisions, hence its name.

    When Fang Jinshi and his entourage arrived a few miles outside Yanshi County, Shi Quan saw that everyone was working hard on the road in the hot weather and there were tea shops selling tea on the roadside, so he suggested to stop and rest before leaving.

    The group of people dismounted and got off their horses, asked for some tea from the tea shop clerk, drank water and rested for a while, and were about to get on their horses and go on the road again. Suddenly, there was a huge flow of people on the road. Many people in the distance ran towards Yanshi County, shouting  Said: "The robber is coming, the robber is coming, run away!"

    These people all looked flustered and panicked, and some even had wounds on their faces and bodies. When a group of them rushed like this, the retrograde crowd was immediately knocked down by this large group of people.  They were so frightened that they dodged and dodged, and many people turned around and followed this group of people and poured into the county seat.

    More and more people were rushing towards the county seat, including the old and the young. Their cries only lasted for a short moment, and then they resounded throughout the entire avenue. Feng Bao stood up and looked at the people on the way, saying: "The sky is bright, the sky is bright and the sun is bright."  , Where did the robber come from so arrogantly?"

    Just as he finished speaking, a cloud of smoke and dust billowed on the avenue, and someone shouted: "Get out of the way, get out of the way." I kept hearing the miserable cries of the people, and a group of Song Dynasty officers and soldiers abandoned their helmets and armor and followed from a distance.  Following the flow of people, they rushed towards the county town. There were not many officers and soldiers in this group. Most of the soldiers were injured. There were more than ten horses in the army. They held whips in their hands to urge the horses to rush forward. They did not care about the people being trampled by the galloping horses.  On the current horse, an officer climbed on the horse's back. There was an arrow stuck in his vest, and blood was pouring out. No one cared about treating his wound, they just ran away on horseback.

    Although the horse at the end of the team was also running with the soldiers, there was no one on the horse. The stirrup dragged its owner. The leader of the Song army was gone, and blood stains could be seen all the way.

    Fang Jinshi and his party were shocked. It seemed that this bandit was no small matter. After all, he had passed through the northwest battlefield. Seeing that something was wrong, he immediately shouted: "Follow us into the city quickly." The group quickly stood up and followed the running people towards Yan.  Rush to the county seat.

    When they got closer, there was already a dense crowd at the city gate. The city gate was already narrow, and a drainage channel happened to be dug and repaired under the door opening, making it even more difficult to pass. People rushed over at once, and no one was willing to let anyone in first.  , suddenly there were cries and curses, and the neighing of mules and horses. Someone in front fell down, and people came up from behind. In the chaos, no one knew how many people were trampled, injured or even killed.

    There were too many people flowing under the city. Fang Jinshi and the others arrived late. They were separated by a long distance from the city gate, and their entry into the city was extremely slow. This is the east gate of Yanshi County. Shi Quan stood on the car and looked at it and said, "We  You can¡¯t get in here even if you have a car, so why not go to the south gate and have a look.¡±

    Fang Jinshi immediately said: "It's not too late, so hurry up and get there."

    The group of people hurriedly turned the carriage, got out of the crowd, and headed towards the south gate. Many people with the same thoughts as them were also walking along the road. Fang Jinshi and his carriage had just walked a few steps, and someone walked behind them.  The woman who was heading towards the south gate suddenly jumped forward and fell at the feet of Feng Wan, who was sitting at the back of the carriage. As soon as the carriage moved forward, she slipped and rolled on the ground, with a knife stuck diagonally on her neck.  A sharp arrow pierced her neck, causing blood to flow out. It turned out that an arrow flew from nowhere in the sky and shot the woman to death.

    Feng Wan screamed "Ah" and stood up without a sound. Fang Jinshi looked back and saw a chaos among the people who were waiting to enter the city. Many people fell to the ground. The people who were waiting to enter the city suddenly fled for their lives.  Even more people on the way into the city squeezed in.

    A plume of smoke and dust quickly moved from far to near along with the rapid sound of horse hooves. Looking far away, an army in light armor rushed over with shouts and raised gleaming weapons. These sergeants used many weapons.  They were armed with huge machetes, some with long axes and scimitars, and they rushed over at lightning speed. They used the axes in their hands to kill the people on the road, no matter old, young, women, or children, without mercy. For a while, ghosts were crying and wolves were howling under Yanshi City.  , blood flowed out, and it seemed like a hell on earth.

    Gao Chong saw it from a distance, took a breath of air, and said: "Where did this robber come from? He is so cruel."

    Jin Mian beside Fang Jinshi said: "It's Jin Bing."

    Fang Jinshi had long seen that this group of wolf-like and tiger-like troops were clearly the Jin soldiers. He never expected that in just two days, they would be hundreds of miles west of Bianliang City.So many golden soldiers suddenly appeared in this place. Did Bianliang City fall so quickly?

    Did these golden soldiers emerge from the ground?

    When the few officers and soldiers in Yanshi County saw the Jin army chasing after them, they shouted: "Close the city gate, close the city gate." But the people swarmed into the city, and for a while they couldn't close it. The officers and soldiers guarding the city were in full swing with swords and guns.  He went down, killed the people who were crowding under the city gate, cleared a small area, and just closed the city gate.

    At this moment and here, seeing the Jin soldiers slaughtering innocent people under the city, Gao Chong became angry and shouted: "I'll go take a look." He turned his horse's head and passed towards the Jin soldiers. Fang Jinshi shouted  He said: "Come back." His voice had long been drowned in the noise. Fang Jinshi didn't dare to turn around and go back like him. Firstly, he was not so courageous. Secondly, Shi Feng and his family were still there.  On the carriage, it was now important to escape for his life. Even if he wanted to pull Gao Chong back, he couldn't.

    Gao Chong rushed over on horseback. Although he had a horse, he had no weapons in his hands. He rushed forward and saw a golden soldier on a flying horse holding an ax high to chop at an old man who fell to the ground. He flew over and killed the old man first.  The old man got on his horse, and the golden soldier swung his ax towards him. Gao Chong hurriedly ducked his head, and the giant ax struck the air beside him. Wherever he looked, there was already another golden soldier.  Gao Chong rushed over to help. Gao Chong was suffering from being unarmed and had to protect the old man. Even though he was brave, he did not dare to fight. He turned his horse's head and chased Fang Jinshi and the others southward. Even though he wanted to save more  There are some people, but it is completely impossible at this time.  The Jin soldiers only focused on chasing and killing the people in the city, but no one came after them.

    The golden soldiers were chasing and killing each other, followed by billowing smoke and golden soldiers. It was unknown how many troops there were. Once the city gate was closed, the people had no way to escape. Fang Jinshi and Shi Quan urged the horses all the way.  He ran away and soon arrived at the south gate. The south gate was also crowded, but it was wider than the east gate. People could still squeeze into the city. Shi Quan saw that it would be difficult for the carriage to enter the city, and shouted to Feng Shi's family:  "Get off and go to town, get off and go to town."

    Feng Wan, Feng Bao and the others hurriedly jumped down from the carriage and squeezed into the city on foot. Fang Jinshi saw Gao Chong coming from a distance, and he was determined. The city gate was about to close, and people rushed in. Fang Jinshi had to abandon his horse and walk, holding on with one hand.  Taking his wife with him, for fear of being crowded away, Gao Chong followed the crowd into Yanshi County. Gao Chong was reluctant to abandon his imperial horse. He waved to Fang Jinshi outside the human wall, climbed on the horse and headed west.

    The officers and soldiers followed and closed the South City Gate. Naturally, many people who arrived later were locked outside the city gate. Fang Jin, Shi Shiquan, and everyone were in shock. They counted the number of people. Fortunately, everyone was there except Gao Chong. Entering.  Coming to the city, safety is somewhat guaranteed. The county town of Yanshi is very small, and there are not many streets. There is chaos everywhere on the streets. Not long ago, the small town in the Central Plains was peaceful and quiet. In a short period of time, it has become a war that scares people.  place.

    Shi Quan wiped his sweat and said: "These golden soldiers have no humanity. They are so cruel and unkind, which is rarely seen in the world."

    Feng Baodao: "The officers and soldiers don't know what to eat. They huddle in the city and don't go out to protect the people."

    Fang Jinshi took a breath and said to Huang Jinmian, "Let's go to the city to have a look." He told Huang Jinmian because Huang Jinmian had been to the northwest battlefield with him. Shi Quan said, "I'll go too."

    Fang Jinshi and Huang Jinmian Shiquan found a place to climb up the city tower together. The Song troops defending the city wall were sparsely guarded. There were not many people in total, and most of them looked panicked. They were hurriedly carrying the city defense under the scoldings of the superiors.  Stones and wood are built on top of the city. Yanshi County has not experienced war for hundreds of years. The people and the Song army have long forgotten what war is like. The city walls are dilapidated and old, and some collapsed places are only covered with thin loess walls.  The bricks and tiles were put on for show, the bento had been repaired, and there were very few equipment and materials for city defense. At this time, they were scrambling to find them everywhere. The Song army was in a chaotic mess and had no idea what they should do.  Do something.

    The people who were imprisoned outside the city fled to death, and there were dead bodies everywhere. The Jin soldiers under the city slowly began to gather. Looking from a distance, the Jin soldiers officers were shouting to count their own troops. These Jin soldiers were  Crossing the Yellow River from Mengzhou, bypassing Xiangzhou, preparing to cut off the passage between Luoyang Prefecture and Bianliang, and attack Bianliang from behind. However, the Jin soldiers did not have large ships and wanted to attack suddenly, so they sent the leading troops of Qingqi over. These  The Jin soldiers were cruel and murderous and advanced bravely, but most of them were cavalry and could not directly attack the city. They could only wait for the infantry to come. At this time, nearly a thousand Jurchen cavalry had gathered below the city. It was probably a conspiracy to defeat the establishment.

    Fang Jinshi stood on the top of the city, took a look, shook his head, and said to Shi Quan, "I'm afraid we can't defend Yanshi County."
