Chapter 1486

Waving the curved sabers in their hands, the Xiongnu and Xianbei allied forces, carrying the excited howls of victory, continuously stepped on the drawbridge of the moat and charged into Mayi City, and then ran wildly on the streets in the city where warhorses could travel.

Some common people who went out to check without knowing what was happening were hacked to death by the passing Xiongnu and Xianbei cavalry.

The scene that was staged at Pingcheng Pass was almost staged again in Mayi City.

After entering the city, the Xiongnu and Xianbei cavalry were like a pack of wolves, scattering everywhere and tearing at the unprepared lamb that was Mayi.

The ignited residential houses dyed the sky red.

Cries, pleas for mercy, and angry shouts filled this night, which should have been quiet, with the smell of blood.

Inside the official residence in the city.

Cheng Yu looked at the fires burning everywhere and listened to the sounds coming from his ears, the muscles on his face twitching slightly.

Humans are not grass or trees; how can they be without emotion?

Cheng Yu is also a human.

Using the people of this city as bait.

These people, even before they died, did not understand why the city was broken for no reason and why they were slaughtered.

And he knew it would be like this, but he could not tell the truth to the people in the city.

Three hundred years ago, the Mayi Plot failed because there were loopholes in the details.

So when it was decided in Jinyang to use the same method to lure the Xiongnu and Xianbei allied forces, it was already decided that this news could not be spread.

The people could not be relocated in advance.

Even Zhang Liao's family was treated the same way.

Perhaps doing this is very cruel.

But compared to the damage brought by letting these Xiongnu and Xianbei allied forces enter the Central Plains and slaughter at will, this is already the smallest cost.

Cheng Yu, standing in front of the official residence door, tidied up the official robe and armor on his body, and tidied up the helmet he was wearing on his head.

He tidied up his slightly messy hair.

Then he lifted the hem of his battle skirt and knelt on the ground on both knees.

Seeing this scene, all the Liangzhou elites following Cheng Yu followed suit.

These Liangzhou elites knew what they were here for.

Only they might lose their lives because of this.

Because before coming to Mayi, they already knew the mission of coming to Mayi.

They are the elites among the Liangzhou elites.

They are death squads.

They all have families in Liangzhou, receiving the best treatment and having no worries about food and clothing.

Their descendants will enter the schools of Liangzhou in the future, and after leaving the school, they can become officials.

Those among them who have parents will receive a monthly salary, and there will be new clothes every season.

All their relatives do not have to worry about being swallowed by powerful families and noble clans for their land and property.

Therefore, they have no regrets in death.

Being able to use one's own life to exchange for the prosperity of the family business for future generations is worth it.

Cheng Yu, after kneeling on both knees, respectfully kowtowed three times toward the direction of the city.

"I, Cheng Yu, am sorry for the people in Mayi City, but with this body, I will turn into a raging flame and coexist with Mayi, determined to cut off the disaster of the Great Han border for hundreds of years, so that future generations can have peace for a thousand years!"

After Cheng Yu finished speaking, he stood up resolutely and turned to look at the hundreds of Liangzhou death squads behind him.

"For the Great Han!" Cheng Yu struck his chest fiercely with his right hand.

"For the Great Han!"

The muffled sound of hundreds of death squads striking their chests was like the sound of drums.

"For the Liang Prince!" Cheng Yu struck his chest fiercely again.

"For the Liang Prince!"

Hundreds of death squads knelt on one knee.

Cheng Yu lifted his sleeve: "Disperse."

Following Cheng Yu's order, hundreds of death squads broke into small units and lurked toward various places in the city.

Zhang clan ancestral home fortress.

Zhang Liao's grandfather held a torch and stood in the courtyard in front of the main hall of the Zhang clan ancestral home.

The spacious courtyard was now full of Zhang clansmen and servants.

There were as many as a thousand people.

And on the wall of the fortress, there were also Zhang clansmen and soldiers guarding the courtyard.

Zhang Liao's grandfather's gaze swept across the crowd.

The aged face revealed a look of determination.

At this moment, those eyes, which were muddy due to old age, were incomparably clear.

"Hundreds of years ago, our clan was forced to change our surname because of the Mayi Plot."

"And now, I want to tell you one thing!"

"Just tonight, we are going to complete the cause that our ancestors did not complete, take back the glory that once belonged to us, and take back the surname that once belonged to us."

"Tonight, you are both descendants of the Zhang clan and descendants of the Nie clan."

"I want you to defend the fortress to the death tonight, fight to the last person; unless the Zhang clan is wiped out, absolutely do not let any enemy enter the Zhang clan's fortress."

"We want to be a stubborn stone in Mayi City, pressing the Xiongnu and the Xianbei firmly here."

All the Zhang clansmen standing in the courtyard felt as if a raging fire was burning in their chests.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

Zhang Liao's grandfather raised the long saber in his hand and shouted.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

A thousand people shouted together.

More than an hour had passed since the North City gate was taken.

The Xianbei and Xiongnu allied forces that charged into the city had already occupied all four gates of Mayi City.

After all the city gates were opened, a large number of Xiongnu and Xianbei cavalry, with excited eyes, held torches and charged into the city like hungry wolves.

Yufuluo and Budugen both had orders early on.

The wealth plundered after entering the city belonged to the individuals.

Therefore, every Xiongnu and Xianbei soldier was like a hungry wolf that had seen fresh flesh, fearing that if they were a step late, they would not be able to grab good things and would be grabbed by others, so they scrambled to charge into the city and then began to plunder, burn, and kill everywhere.

Mayi City had now turned into a sea of fire and a hell on earth.

Under these circumstances, even the tribal leaders could not order the soldiers under their command.

In fact, those tribal leaders also led their personal guards and found the large households or noble mansions in the city at the first opportunity.

These tribal leaders obviously knew where the wealth was the greatest.

Guo Tu entered the city with Budugen.

Watching Mayi City turn into a sea of fire under the ravages of the Xiongnu and Xianbei.

But a feeling of unease appeared in his heart.

There were tens of thousands of Liangzhou troops in the city; how could the four gates be broken so easily?

Although the Liangzhou troops were unprepared and the Beimen was blown open.

But what about the other gates?

With the combat effectiveness of the Liangzhou troops, they should not have been broken like this.

But Guo Tu, who was in the North City, could not see what the situation was like at the other three city gates.

And the Xiongnu and Xianbei armies had already lost control after entering the city.

I am afraid that only after the slaughter and plundering will these people regain some sanity.
