    A large number of the generals under Shi Le came from the herdsman slaves in many pastures in the Central Plains and Hebei. Later, during the southern and northern wars, they united the scattered Hu people in various places, so there were a lot of people with excellent riding skills.  The huge cavalry team established in this way was not only the main force in Shi Le's hands to attack the enemy, but also played an important role in interrupting the battlefield, controlling and transmitting information, etc.  At this moment, although Shi Le led his army to ambush outside the battlefield, he had insight into every move of the Jin army in Juancheng with the help of the scout team flowing back and forth.  As soon as the collapse of the Jin army began, the ferocious bandits who were eyeing the enemy began to deploy.  They were like ferocious beasts that had been fighting with their prey for a long time and were extremely anxious. They had long been waiting for this final killing feast.  However, perhaps the tragic defeats put too heavy pressure on the Jin army, or perhaps the despair of being besieged on all sides made people lose their rational judgment.  This collapse, involving tens or even hundreds of thousands of people, is more horrific than anyone could have imagined.  Before the thieves' butcher's knife came, the soldiers and civilians were already gripped by the panic of impending disaster. They ran around aimlessly, causing various tragic scenes and huge casualties.  "The thieves are coming! The city is trapped! The city is trapped! Run away!" All kinds of panicked shouts, violent curses, and frightened cries intertwined into a heavy net, covering everyone's heads.  Almost suffocating.  On the streets in Juancheng, countless soldiers and civilians came in panic from all directions, pushing each other, trying to run in other conflicting directions. The crowds piled up in layers, forming a dark mass. At the same time, there were  More people poured out from various mansions, military camps, and camps to join the chaos.  If someone is lucky enough to reach the city gate along the street, they will see a fierce battle between the soldiers crowding the city gate and the city defense generals.  Since the repeated defeats in the Central Plains, one after another elite troops under the command of the King of East China Sea have become routed and defeated.  The shogunate reluctantly gathered some of them, but even if they continued to send powerful civil and military troops to rectify them, they could not restore their combat effectiveness in a hurry. The defeated soldiers and wounded soldiers who continued to join their ranks made the already low fighting spirit even more precarious.  When the cavalry of the Central Plains bandits drove directly to the city, just passing by the edge of their camp gave them heart-breaking fear.  They abandoned the newly sent chief officer without hesitation, rushed to the camp in a swarm, and ran towards the city gate.  The army responsible for city defense was under Sima Yue's trusted general Qiu Guang.  This army is one of the reliable forces that existed when Sima Yue raised his troops in the East China Sea. Therefore, even when the war situation in the Central Plains was at its most critical, it was not easily thrown into the battlefield. Its organization and strength were complete, and it could be said to be quite capable.  But after Yang Feixiang, the captain in charge of the city defense, discovered traces of the bandit cavalry outside the city, what he immediately thought of was to close the city gates to keep out the danger, regardless of whether the defeated soldiers outside the city might be attacked by the bandits.  slaughter.  The city gates were being closed on one side, while the other side was hiding in the city. The two sides suddenly clashed.  At first, they were fighting with fists and kicks, but at some point, swords, guns, swords and halberds came in, causing heavy casualties.  After all, there were more defeated soldiers outside the city, and their ferocity in fighting for the city gate exceeded their performance in any previous battle.  Most of the city gate defenders were quickly killed.  Even if Yang Feixiang was furious and personally led more than ten fully armed soldiers to rush down from the city to suppress them, he could not stop the defeated soldiers from running like crazy.  The captain and his men were like dead leaves thrown into the rapids, swirling and tumbling to the ground.  Yang Feixiang, whose face was covered with blood, wanted to scream a few times, but unexpectedly, a large cart full of sundries was pushed over recklessly and passed between his chest and abdomen.  The huge pressure instantly caused his abdominal cavity to burst, and all his internal organs spilled out. A section of intestine was wrapped between the spokes of the wheel, stretched very long, and suddenly broke.  The defeated soldiers did not pay any attention to the fate of this mere captain at the city gate. They rushed into the city with cheers. Some began to kill and disperse the soldiers and civilians crowding the streets, hoping to hide further in a safer place; others had other ideas.  It was more careful, so he turned back to close the city gate, but ended up fighting with his companions who came later.  With the city gate as the center, all kinds of madness spread to all sides. People died inexplicably every moment, and their bodies were trampled into mud by countless people.  This situation lasted for nearly half an hour, until the elite guards responsible for guarding the Donghai King's shogunate separated the crowd, and while trying their best to restore order, they brought the news that the Donghai King was about to abandon Juancheng.  In the next moment, the originally turbulent inward tide suddenly changed its direction. People rushed to rush out of the city gate corridor that was filled with the smell of blood, like countless ants in an ant nest watered by boiling water.  Struggle scattered.  A middle-aged man and several servants arrived at the city gate at just this time.  They whippedThe horse on his hip mercilessly knocked down several soldiers who were blocking his way forward, and finally squeezed into the crowd and rushed out of the city.  The situation outside the city was as chaotic as in the city. On the east-west official road, people were shouting, horses were neighing, and fights that were irrational due to fear were happening everywhere, so that the wide official road was almost choked.  More people simply scattered towards the wasteland on both sides of the road, not knowing where their destination was.  The group of people reined in their horses, and a large number of soldiers and civilians rushed out of the city gate behind them. Hundreds of people suddenly surrounded them.  The crowd jostled their horses, forcing them to lose their footing and stagger across the ditch on the south side of the official road, heading towards the forest further away.  The middle-aged man repeatedly shouted and reined in his horse to no avail, so he could only draw out the long knife from his waist with a "swish" sound to threaten him.  This murderous movement made the crowd tremble with fright, and they quickly dispersed some distance, allowing them to return to the official road.  "Zhang Zhaizhu, what should we do next?" A servant asked loudly, wiping his sweaty forehead.  This middle-aged man¡¯s surname is Zhang Mingwu. He was Hu Liuniang¡¯s right-hand man during the time when he was in the army.  When Lu Yao, Xue Tong and others fled into the Taihang Mountains to take shelter with the Lord of Jingling County, he was the one who came forward to welcome them into Funiu Village, so he was Lu Yao's old acquaintance.  Zhang Wu has a cautious character, is loyal and reliable, and has the ability to change. The fact that the people in Funiu Village were able to survive the Xiongnu invasion largely depended on this man's strength.  After Lu Yao became General Pingbei, Hu Liuniang recruited him from Bingzhou and recommended him to serve in the military government.  Later, Lu Yao sent capable personnel to various parts of the Central Plains to take on intelligence and reconnaissance tasks, and specially appointed Zhang Wu as the general person in charge.  But no one expected that Hu Liuniang had a sudden idea and snatched him out to seize the important task.  Zhang Wu turned to Hu Liuniang's instructions and followed the actions of the Donghai King shogunate.  In the past six months, we have achieved some results by making friends with and bribing the shogunate's civil and military officials.  After all, the Pingbei Military Mansion is a new one, and there are only a few talents who have the ability to serve as spies and detect the reality of various places.  On the other hand, the former bandits from Funiu Village were barely available, and they were always there for the good times, so there was no problem with their loyalty.  For this reason, many of the first batch selected by the military government to go south were old people from the village.  When this group of people came to a critical moment, they couldn't help but use the old title of "Zhang Village Master".  "How do I know!" Zhang Wu sheathed his sword and shook his head repeatedly: "This Juancheng is full of rubbish. The thieves don't know where they are, but they have become such a mess Let's wait and see!"
