The chaotic gunfire in Xi'an City made the already uneasy mood even worse. After all, in such a chaotic situation, no one can accurately judge where the gunshots came from and why they rang out. The vast majority of people regard the sound of gunfire as a sign of the arrival of the white-clothed army. They subconsciously thought that this was the beginning of the siege of the city by the white-clothed army. As a result, they fled even faster.

The East Gate, the most crowded, is getting more and more crowded. A large number of fleeing crowds, due to each other's pushing, persecution, and trampling, led to many contradictions, and the sound of quarrels continued. Someone fought on the spot, causing chaos at the scene. Some people not only used scimitars, spears, and crossbows when fighting, but also some even used muskets. Such a result is naturally obvious. At the end of each fight, a large number of corpses and wounded were left on the ground.

And those who fell, trying to get back on their feet, were simply impossible. The crowd behind them, who were desperate to flee for their lives, would not give them any chance to stand up. Not to mention sending it to the doctor for rescue. In the process of fleeing, everyone is selfish. Everyone's last name is ugly. But what awaits them is the innumerable soles of their feet. After a while, they were all trampled into meat sauce. Near the entire city gate, blood was dripping and flesh was blurred.

The people in the back couldn't help but be very anxious when they found that the front was really crowded and couldn't pass. In a panic, some people kept shooting into the sky, asking the people in front to run faster. Most of these muskets were soldiers who had retreated from Guyuan Town. They tried to escape for their lives, but they didn't care about it. In order to survive, they don't care who the person in front of them is. As a result, the people in front of them became more and more confused, and the speed of escape became slower.

Feeling that the shooting didn't seem to have an effect on the sky, someone shot directly at the crowd in front of him, killing the crowd in front of him. These soldiers who retreated from Guyuan Town did not have the courage to confront the white-clothed army, and they did not hesitate to kill ordinary people at all. There are also people who wield machetes, fight their way through the blood, and take the lead in escaping. Everywhere they passed, all they left behind was blood, as if it were a slaughterhouse.

It was not easy to escape from Xi'an City, and if you want to reach the relatively safe Henan area, you still have to walk a long way. They had to pass through Lintong, Weinan, Huazhou, Huayin and other places to reach Tongguan. Only when you get out of Tongguan can you be considered relatively safe. If you don't take this road, you have to go to Lantian, Shangzhou, Shangnan and other places, and then after arriving in Henan and other places, you will transfer to the Huguang area. Fortunately, the white-clothed army did not make a move to cut off their retreat. There were no cavalry of the white-clothed army in the east of Xi'an. The road to retreat from Xi'an to Henan and other places is still unimpeded for the time being.

Of course, this is unimpeded, only relative to the cavalry of the White Army. The cavalry of the White Army has not yet appeared in this area, and will not intercept the fleeing crowd. As for whether they will meet the heroes who rob houses and houses on the way, that is another matter. In the Guanzhong area, there were no horse thieves, and the security was okay. However, at this time, many soldiers dressed up as horse thieves, taking advantage of the fire to attack, taking advantage of the danger. Who can guarantee that on this road, he will not meet them?

Unfortunately, at least more than thirty percent of those who fled ended up in the hands of these part-time "horse thieves" and became ghosts under the knife. Naturally, all the assets they carried with them were robbed. It is impossible for them to continue to live. As for the soldiers who have robbed a lot of wealth, it is impossible to go back to the barracks. So, they really fell into the grass and worked full-time to rob homes and houses.

Of course, these part-time "horse thieves" are very self-aware, and they know very well that after the white-clothed army takes control of the entire Shaanxi Province, it will definitely send effective troops to carry out a strong encirclement and suppression of all horse thieves. The White Men will not give any horse thieves room to survive. In the past, there were as many horse thieves in Yansui Town, but under the encirclement and suppression of the white-clothed army, they were also gone. Therefore, no one wants to try the encirclement and suppression of the white army again.

As horse thieves, they will never be able to stay in the Shaanxi territory. So, after the looting felt almost the same, they all fled into the surrounding Sichuan, Huguang, Henan and other places, and became professional horse thieves, seriously disturbing the local security. This can probably be regarded as a greater impact on the surrounding areas after the white-clothed army conquered Xi'an.

...... "These bastards! ”

"My subordinates, how can this be?"

When Huang Kezhang reacted, the entire Xi'an Mansion was out of control.

In the vicinity of the governor's yamen, there were already continuous gunshots. No one knows who is shooting. The officers and soldiers around the governor's yamen also fled one after another. The Governor's Yamen has completely lost its former majesty. Without the protection of officers and soldiers, the majesty will naturally cease to exist. Now, the only thing Huang Kezhang can rely on is his own 300 armed men. This is his last foundation. If these three hundred armed men all betray him, or are eliminated, then he is really completely finished.

Huang Kezhang sent a few shrewd family members to investigate the surrounding situation. As a result, the information they gave back was very different and almost identical. Even if it's just a block away, it's a completely different story. Obviously, there is no way to control the chaos in the city. Everywhere, there are riots. Everywhere, there is a test of blood and fire. The battle between the robbers who took advantage of the fire and the people who defended themselves was extremely fierce. At this time, even if he, the governor of the three sides, came forward, no one would listen to him.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Bang bang bang!"

Huang Kezhang listened attentively and found that the gunfire was getting denser and denser, and he was getting closer and closer to the governor's yamen. However, he was sure that these gunshots definitely did not come from the white-clothed army. No matter how fast the white-clothed army is, it is impossible to kill in Xi'an City so quickly. He again sent his own servants to check the situation. In the end, the results were all caused by the stragglers in Guyuan Town. These hateful fellows, after retreating from Guyuan Town, have completely lost their restraint. They are unscrupulous, they do whatever they want, and there is hardly anything they dare not do. They washed half of Xi'an City in blood, which can be described as sinful.

Huang Kezhang, who was originally anxious and angry, had to calm down and think carefully about his coping plan. He would never run away. As the governor of the three sides of Shaanxi, all the territories under his jurisdiction fell into the arms of the white-clothed army. This is unacceptable to him. He thought that the most ideal result would be to die in the city of Xi'an, under the guns of the white-clothed army.

However, the chaotic situation in Xi'an made Huang Kezhang anxious at the same time. If these stragglers in Guyuan Town are not effectively controlled, the entire Xi'an City will be completely destroyed by them. There is information that these stragglers are killing people everywhere and setting fires, trying to make the entire city of Xi'an burn. If this is really the case, his sin will be great. He did not block the attack of the white-clothed army, but destroyed a thousand-year-old city.

Unfortunately, his control over Xi'an City has completely failed. The stragglers in Guyuan Town obviously don't care about him, the governor of the three sides. If he showed up rashly, he would most likely be cut off by these stragglers. The only way is to ask the white-clothed army to enter the city, and let the white-clothed army expel all the stragglers in Guyuan Town, or eliminate them all. Regarding the discipline of the white-clothed army, Huang Kezhang still has some confidence. Even if you can't do it without committing any crimes, it won't cause much damage to Xi'an City.

"Now, that's the only way to do it." Huang Kezhang said helplessly.

For Xi'an, a thousand-year-old city, Huang Kezhang still has a lot of feelings. He couldn't let this thousand-year-old city be destroyed like this because of his own personal reasons. He quickly made up his mind and took dozens of old servants and family members directly out of the city gate cave at the north gate to come to Xu Xingxia for an interview. It just so happened that he met Zhang Nai, a young officer of the Chasseurs.

"Who are you? Tell us who you are, what you want, what you want! Zhang Nai shouted.

"I am Huang Kezhang, the governor of the three sides of Shaanxi. Now, the situation in the city is completely out of control. There are quite a few stragglers, who are burning and looting. I hope that your army will enter the city as soon as possible and control the situation in the city in order to keep this thousand-year-old city. Huang Kezhang hurriedly explained the situation. At this time, he didn't care that the white-clothed army was his enemy.

"You're talking about the stragglers in Guyuan Town, right? Good! Our army will destroy them! Without the slightest hesitation, Zhang Nai took three hundred chaser warriors into Xi'an City and used force to expel those stragglers in Guyuan Town. As a result, as soon as the cavalry of the white-clothed army made a move, those stragglers in Guyuan Town suddenly couldn't bear it. They were either killed or captured, and only a handful escaped.

Subsequently, the large forces of the Qin cavalry army and the Han cavalry army were killed one after another. They also quickly drove into the city, fetched water to put out fires, restore order, and clean up the ruins. The city of Xi'an, which was originally chaotic, was quickly restored to normal order under the control of the cavalry of the white-clothed army. The original chaotic gunfire gradually disappeared. The city of Xi'an has returned to its former tranquility.

"The white-clothed army ......," Huang Kezhang said to himself, his tone was very bitter.

From these actions of the white-clothed army, he could clearly feel that the strong combat effectiveness and strict discipline of this army were really orders and prohibitions. The stragglers of Guyuan Town were simply vulnerable under their attack. They also did not pick up the scattered belongings on the street and put them in their personal pockets. They gathered all their possessions in one place and turned them all in. This is really rare. It is no wonder that the White Coats have been able to create such an amazing record in just two years.
