Chapter 520 The extremely arrogant and arrogant Emperor of Ming Dynasty
Zhou Lu, who was about to use the exquisite Wind Escape Talisman, was slightly startled when he heard Fan Wencheng calling Prince Yu.
Oops, I went and killed the wrong person?
It's not a mistake to kill him. I am Chongzhen now and I am a mortal enemy of all the Qing troops.
In memory, Prince Yu was one of the Qing army's **** and Dorgon's younger brother.
Zhou Lu's figure was certain and he checked the head in his hand.
It is indeed not Dorgon, but he looks somewhat similar. He should be Prince Duduo of Yu.
It's bad luck for you.
Zhou Lu secretly cried out that it was a pity.
"The assassin is there!" A Qing soldier saw Zhou Lu holding Duduo's head.
"Hurry up... wait... he, he, he is..." A commander saw clearly that Zhou Lu was wearing a dragon robe, and was so horrified that he could not speak.
"He, he, he is the Ming Emperor!" A Qing general who had seen Zhou Lu shouted miserably.
"Ah...the assassin is the Ming Emperor?"
The Qing army was shocked and dumbfounded for a moment.
From ancient times to the present, we have heard of assassins assassinating emperors, but we have never heard of emperors acting as assassins to assassinate others.
That day I saw the Ming Emperor jump down from the city wall, sit directly on the horse, show his hands, and see that the Ming Emperor was very powerful.
But what he did tonight was not only powerful, but also terrifying!
He dared to break into the camp where 100,000 elite troops were stationed alone, turned into an assassin, and silently chopped off the head of Dorgon's younger brother, Prince Dodo.
This is a step up from "taking the head of an admiral from a crowd of thousands of troops, like picking out an object from a bag".
This terrifying strength cannot be described in words.
Outperforming all known assassins in history.
The Qing army had only heard of such gods and men in legends and myths.
When Zhou Lu saw that he had been recognized, he simply showed a pure smile, just like a big star treats his fans, and waved his hands: "Good evening everyone, I am here to express my condolences on behalf of Ming Dynasty. I have to go back now. Good night."
How can you give me this kind of condolence and give people a good night?
"Ding, the host is extremely arrogant and coquettish, causing a fatal blow (5 times) and gaining 5400 coquettish points."
"Ding, the host's coquettishness is successful and the coquettishness value is 270 points."
"Ding, the host's coquettishness is successful and the coquettishness value is 270 points."
…
Damn it!
Five fatal combos.
Unprecedented, super cool!
I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it. It was an unexpected bonus to gain so many coquettish points.
As the saying goes, there is nothing in life that is not romantic.
Zhou Lu was very happy.
"What are you doing standing still? Shoot the arrow quickly! Kill him quickly and avenge Prince Yu." Fan Wencheng was the first to react and shouted.
Fan Wencheng was a Ming scholar who surrendered to the Qing army, but his attitude was more positive than that of the Qing army.
Interestingly, he is also the seventeenth grandson of Fan Zhongyan, the famous prime minister of the Northern Song Dynasty.
The surrounding Qing troops came to their senses, some raised their weapons and chased him, some hurriedly pointed their bows at the Ming Emperor and fired arrows, and some marked their spears in an attempt to use long-range weapons to cause damage.
If the Ming Emperor could be captured or killed, it would be a great feat. It would not only make up for Duduo's death, but also reverse the overall situation.
However, the yellow shadow flashed, everyone was dazzled, and the Ming Emperor was no longer where he was.
However, the released long-range weapon cannot be recovered.
Suddenly there was a loud scream and a group of people fell down.
Arrows and javelins accidentally injured their own people.
Zhou Lu had already used the high-quality wind escape talisman to dive into the wind, move quickly against the wind, and leave the noisy Qing army camp in an instant.
Outside the city, the Qing army had no sleep tonight.
In the city, all the soldiers slept peacefully all night.
It wasn't until the next morning when Duduo's head was hung on the city gate for public display that people knew that the emperor once again acted against common sense last night and broke into the Qing army camp at night, and made huge gains, killing Yu.
Prince Duduo, bring back his head.
Military morale is boosted again!
Zhou Lu originally felt a little regretful that he did not kill Duo Duo. He brought Duo Duo's head back because he wanted the generals to have a look and verify his identity.
Seeing Duduo's head, Wang Cheng'en, and Wu Kong were almost frightened to death and hurriedly knelt down.
They were not frightened by the head, but by Zhou Lu's behavior.
The king of a country goes to the enemy's military camp to assassinate him?
This is no joke.
If something goes wrong, the consequences will be disastrous.
Wu Kong, as the commander of the imperial guards who protected the emperor, and Wang Chengen, as the person who served the emperor, both felt derelict in their duties and blamed themselves.
Zhou Lu helped them up and comforted them: "Don't worry, I have magic."
The word "magic" is very useful and can be used to get rid of anything.
When it comes to dealing with Duduo's head, Zhou Lu plans to bury it as he pleases.
Lu Xiangsheng proposed to hang Duduo's head on the city wall and publicize it.
On the one hand, it can boost the morale of the military, make the people across the country happy, and regain confidence in the Ming Dynasty's army.
Secondly, it can lower the morale of the Qing army and make them uncomfortable.
Zhou Lu accepted the proposal.
In the civilization of later generations, this is an inhumane act and cannot be done.
Now in the Ming Dynasty, it is a common phenomenon for owl beasts to be displayed in public. If I had failed last night, I would have been exposed to the public by the Qing army, or even worse.
War is really cruel, creating hell on earth and unleashing the unrestricted release of human beings' extreme desires and ugliness.
Surrendering will bring about more wanton extreme desires and ugliness.
So in the face of these, what else can we do besides fighting?
Zhou Lu remembered a sentence that fits his current state of mind: Peace is the most noble ideal, but if you want to realize your ideal, you must fight for it!!!
…
…
Noon the next day.
The sky was filled with dark clouds.
It feels like "dark clouds are closing in on the city, threatening to destroy it".
Shanhaiguan is still quiet, except for the fluttering flags and the sound of hunting, and from time to time, the light reflected from the armor of the soldiers guarding the city can be seen.
"Rumble..."
A row of brand-new, large-caliber cannons with a metallic luster were being slowly pulled up a hill by horses. The pulling was very laborious, showing that the cannons were very heavy.
This place is outside the range of the Ming Dynasty artillery and is in a safe area.
"Hurry up!" Dorgon was personally directing and supervising.
These are fifty new European-made cannons. Dorgon bought them from Spanish ocean-going merchants at a high price of three million taels of silver. They have a much longer range and more power than the old Hongyi cannons and general cannons.
big.
Dorgon attaches great importance to it. Yesterday, he personally went to receive these powerful firearms. Monk Mojiu Dharma King also followed him.
After several demonstrations on the spot, the effect was better than expected, and Dorgon was very happy.
For several days, he had been waiting for this magic weapon of restraint.
He wanted to take advantage of the great range advantage of these fifty new artillery pieces to destroy the cannons on the Shanhaiguan City Wall of the Ming Dynasty. Then all the cannons were fired together to knock down the Shanhaiguan City Wall. The army swarmed in, captured Shanhaiguan City in one fell swoop, and marched straight in until they reached the Ming Dynasty.
Beijing.
Although the Ming army won in defending the capital, it was a lose-lose situation for both sides. A large area of the capital's wall fell down and could not be repaired quickly, making it easy to be breached again.
With the newly purchased new European artillery, it was easy to defeat the city's defenses.
