Chapter 871 The King Has Escaped

In an instant, a large number of people flocked to the city gate.

During the war, the gates of the city were naturally closed, but the people didn't care, clamoring for the soldiers to open the gates. The defenders of the city refused to allow it. Now that the enemy army is attacking the city, opening the city gate at this time is to lure wolves into the house.

The common people don't care. In the face of life and death, the fall of the family and the country seems to be not so important again. As more and more people gathered near the city gate, the scene was about to get out of control.

The turbulent flow of people is about to break through the defense line of the Praetorian Guards.

Not far from them, the fire spread further and smoke billowed.

Seeing this, the people were even more excited, and some people were already preparing to force their way in. There were many family members of the imperial guards among the crowd, who were inevitably begging for mercy and yelling at the bastards.

"Go and tell the general!"

The city gate guard was sweating faintly on his forehead, so he could only ask Ismail, the commander of the imperial guards, for instructions.

Ismail was in Beicheng District at the moment, and his face was cloudy and uncertain after receiving the report. When the fire suddenly broke out in the city, Ismail was already aware that something was wrong, and when the enemy fighter planes flew from high above, he was even more shocked.

Next, various urgent reports reached Ismail.

If someone set fire on purpose, Ismail needs to be asked to arrest the arsonist; to organize demolition, Ismail needs to mobilize the imperial guards. Now that the city gate is in emergency, it is even more necessary for Ismail to make a decision.

Ismail could almost conclude that the explosion of the oil depot was by no means accidental, otherwise, why didn't it explode sooner or later, and it happened when the enemy attacked the city, and three explosions occurred at the same time.

The subsequent arson and bombing further confirmed Ismail's speculation.

"This is a massacre, a war criminal!"

Ismail's face was ferocious. He never expected that the Great Xia Dynasty would use such vicious methods.

While Ismail was hesitating, Muhammad VI sent someone to find Ismail and asked the imperial guards to cover the royal family members to evacuate the royal city.

"Immediately, immediately!" Mohammed VI's words were strong and anxious.

Obviously, Muhammad VI no longer had any expectations of defending the royal city. If he evacuated the royal city and escaped from Morocco smoothly, Mohammed VI would still have a chance to escape to a neighboring country and become a wandering king.

Stay in Rabat, or be burned or killed by the enemy.

How to choose between the two is too easy.

Seeing this, Ismail sighed, the king's order must not be violated. It's just that how to escort members of the royal family to leave, or even flee to neighboring countries, is not an easy task, and requires careful planning.

Thinking of this, Ismail simply led the team to the palace.

Inside the palace, Mohammed VI and the core senior officials of Morocco have gathered together. Seeing Ismail was like seeing a savior, without the arrogance of the past.

"Ismail, tell me what you think." Although Muhammad VI was old, he was not confused. He knew that if he left the city carelessly like this, it would be tantamount to throwing himself into a trap.

On the way to the palace, Ismail had already thought it over and said, "Your Majesty, I think so. There are a large number of people gathered at the gate of the city. We might as well use our tricks, open the gate, sneak in among the people, and take the opportunity to escape from the city." .When I left the city, I was making calculations."

"Okay, let's do it!" Mohammed VI was overjoyed.

The next step will be easy, the big guys found the clothes of the common people, and under the escort of the Imperial Guards who were also disguised, they sneaked into the flow of people.

At the same time, Ismail issued two military orders in succession. One was to order the gate guards to open the gate and let the people out of the city; the other was to order the guards and player troops who were still fighting to continue fighting.

At critical moments, Ismail can also be hard-hearted.

There was no army to hold back the enemy, and as soon as the enemy stormed the palace, it was immediately apparent that the king had fled. In that case, they may not be able to escape to neighboring countries smoothly under the pursuit of the cavalry.

At about eleven o'clock in the morning, all the gates of the city were opened.

A large number of people poured out of the city gate like a wave and came outside the city. Sure enough, the expeditionary force attacking the city had already been ordered not to harm innocent people.

The people in the city were able to leave the royal city smoothly, disappeared into the wilderness in a mighty way, and fled in all directions. Some chose to go to cities such as Casablanca, some chose to hide in the mountains, and some stayed not far outside the city. They still hoped that they could return to the royal city one day.

Muhammad VI and others naturally escaped unharmed in the noisy crowd. In order not to attract attention, Ismail only brought five hundred guards with him, all of them were his personal guards.

As for the Moroccan players, basically they didn't go far.

The world is so big, but there is no place for them. Once the national war fails, no matter where they are, whether they are alive or dead, they will be forcibly sent to the place of trial by Gaia.

That being the case, why bother.

The siege battle is still going on, and the fighting players are high-spirited, and they already have the will to die, turning a blind eye to the fire in the city. It's just that the morale of the soldiers of the Moroccan Guards is gradually weakening, especially after seeing a large number of people leaving the city, they have no fighting spirit.

Seeing this, Bai Qi ordered to speed up the offensive rhythm, and must complete all his achievements in one battle.

At the same time, Black Snake, who was still guarding the city of Rabat, was the first to notice the abnormality in the city. Among other things, the palace was too quiet, and even the legendary beasts of the kingdom did not show up.

Morocco's national beast is a golden lion, quite psychic, and had already awakened when the city of Rabat was attacked. As long as the palace is not attacked, it will not attack on its own initiative.

The withdrawal of Muhammad VI disappointed the Golden Lion. According to the rules of the national war formulated by Gaia, the king abandoned the city and fled, and the beast of the town could directly choose to continue to sleep.

Once the kingdom changes hands, the gods and beasts of the town will automatically change hands.

Black Snake came to the palace secretly. Seeing that the palace was loosely guarded and no one was there to put out the fire, he became even more suspicious. "Go, go in and have a look." Black Snake ordered.

The accompanying spy said: "My lord, is this too risky?"

Black Snake shook his head and said: "If you don't enter the tiger's lair, you won't catch a tiger's cub. If you don't understand what's going on inside, that's our negligence. I don't want to be reprimanded by the king again."

The spy listened and had nothing to say.

Fortunately, they are also highly skilled and bold, and they sneaked into the palace without much effort.

As a result, Black Snake became even more suspicious, and had a bad guess in his heart, and said, "There's no need to search, just go and see if Muhammad VI is still there."

"My lord, do you suspect that Muhammad VI has escaped?" the spy was in shock.

Black Snake didn't come to a conclusion, but said, "Let's see."

"promise!"

Soon, they searched the palace inside and out, but naturally found nothing.

"Damn it, I really escaped." Black Snake's face was livid.

The spy said suspiciously: "It shouldn't be, our people are watching secretly at the gates of various cities, and we haven't seen them leaving the city."

"Idiot, will they still swagger when they go out of the city? They must have disguised themselves as ordinary people and sneaked out of the city. At that time, the gate of the city was so chaotic and there were so many people, how could you see clearly." Black Snake was very annoyed.

The secret agent was ashamed and said cautiously: "Then, what should we do now?"

The black snake looked calm, and suddenly smiled strangely, and said: "It's good to escape, it can be regarded as doing our army a big favor. Immediately spread the news that Mohammed VI abandoned the city and fled, especially among the Moroccan Janissaries. It must be conveyed. In addition, send someone to inform the king and Bai Qi to lead."

"No!" The spy understood in seconds and smiled.

…………

When the Moroccan Janissaries heard the news, they didn't believe it at first, and then there was an uproar when someone went to the palace to confirm. Not only Muhammad VI, the soldiers did not even find Ismail.

Thinking about it this way, Ismail's previous military orders made people feel chilling.

The Moroccan Praetorian Guards were in an uproar, and they no longer had the heart to fight against the war. They either gave up and wanted to blend in with the people and escape together, or they simply surrendered.

Anyway, it was Muhammad VI who broke his promise first, so the soldiers surrendered without any psychological pressure.

Bai Qi also got the news early and immediately asked the frontline troops to withdraw. The surrender of the Moroccan Janissaries is naturally open to all comers.

Looking at it this way, the siege battle was unexpectedly smooth, and the battle was basically resolved without the need for an expeditionary force to enter the city, saving a lot of trouble and sacrifice.

As for the street fighting training on the deserted island, it is naturally useless.

Bai Qi has no regrets about this.

In addition to ordering the front line to strike, Bai Qi also did three things. One is to order the army to conduct strict investigations on the people leaving the city to prevent soldiers of the Imperial Guard or city officials from taking the opportunity to sneak out of the city.

At the same time, it is also to persuade the people to temporarily resettle in the wilderness and not to go far.

The second Baiqi called Lu Bu, and asked Lu Bu to take a cavalry division and immediately disperse in all directions to pursue the escaped Mohammed VI and his party.

"If Muhammad VI is found, he will be executed on the spot without asking for instructions. As for the others, they will be escorted back to the city and handed over to the king for disposal." Bai Qi ordered.

"The end will understand!"

Lu Bu took the order, and led the team away after leaning slightly, accompanied by the Black Snake Guard spies. If there is no spy to guide, Lu Bu is not familiar with the geography of Morocco on the one hand, and Mohammed VI on the other, how can he chase people.

The third thing Bai Qi did was to order the army to recruit young and middle-aged men from among the people, and go into the city again to put out the fire. Although the fire has spread completely in the city, it is possible to save a little bit.

As the expeditionary force voluntarily withdrew from the front line, more and more Moroccan Janissaries surrendered. In this battle, they had seen the power of the Great Xia Dynasty, so they had to meet the Ming Lord.

Of course, there are also Imperial Guard generals who would rather die than submit. These people have one thing in common, either their homes were burned down, or their relatives were burned to death.

If you have a knot in your heart, you naturally don't want to surrender to the enemy.

Of course, there are those who don't know about it. After all, the city is too chaotic, and they don't have a chance to get together with their families, so they can only surrender first. As for the death of their relatives, they don't know what will happen.

The most embarrassing thing is to fight back the Moroccan combat players on the city wall, a dilemma. Surrender, it's meaningless at all; fight, the expeditionary force won't play with them anymore, it's really sad.
