166 After the rain, I don't know where the dragon is (4)
"I'll go out of the city to fight, you can shoot archery for me." Triard patted the shoulder of deputy general Wang Genzi and felt proud.
Wang Genzi nodded heavily: "Dusi, go with confidence."
The weakness of a city lies in the city gate, so the enemy must not be allowed to attack the city gate. Xi'an was not prepared before, and all the soldiers who were gathered were Bai Guangen and Gao Jie, and they did not dare to use them to go out. There were not many people led by Trialda, and he only wanted the arrow formation on the city to defeat the bandits' head formation.
——As long as you can win for a while, your morale may rise.
Trilda thought to herself, still having a trace of expectation.
Wang Genzi stood at the top of the city and said to the left and right servants: "Get my iron-tied bow."
The iron-tied bow is a bow body made of iron. It has no elasticity and can only be used for practice. Wang Genzi's iron-tied bow is an iron-tied bow body. Although it is elastic, it is not far from iron, so it is named "Iron-tied". With this powerful bow, combined with the carefully crafted long arrows, and the height of the city wall, Wang Genzi can shoot two hundred steps away, which is already very amazing arm strength.
He took out a piece of letter paper with words written in it from his arms and folded it into strips, crossed it and tied it to the cluster of arrows. When the bow came, he didn't say a word and shot an arrow. He saw the white arrow feathers drew a graceful curve in the air and penetrated into the land in front of the army formation.
Trialda felt quite relieved when she saw this and said to herself: This must be Wang Genzi's test shot.
Because the range of bows and arrows is directly related to bows and arrow maintenance and arrow manufacturing, each time the two armies face each other, they must test each other's range of each other. Beyond the range, you must line up and move slowly, maintain your physical strength, and boost your morale. Once you enter the range, you must rush into the enemy formation at the fastest speed, so as to reduce losses.
Wang Genzi shot out the arrow. Sure enough, the fast horses who had stepped forward to provoke and test the range were afraid, and they retreated one after another. However, one of them was very clear-headed and quickly turned around and pulled out the arrow when he returned to the horse. This was the habit of fast horses. He took an enemy arrow back and proved that he had indeed entered the range of the enemy. He pulled out the arrow and found that there was a note tied to the arrow, as if it was used for communication.
When the two armies confronted each other, this kind of archery communication was common in ancient and modern times. He immediately sent the note to the central army, and he handed over the generals from him to Li Zicheng.
Arrange to surrender!
There were only a few words in the letter, without any extra writing. It only said that the Ming Dynasty was over and that I was willing to lead my personal soldiers to serve as the supporter of the righteous army and open the door to offer the city.
After reading it a few times, Li Zicheng passed the letter to Gu Junen on the right. Niu Jinxing, who was standing in his left hand, almost spit out a fire in his eyes. However, he could only grit his teeth and endure it. Since he was released, Li Zicheng trusted Gu Junen more and more.
After reading it, Gu Junen smiled and said, "Congratulations to Marshal! If Xi'an can surrender, the army's vitality will not be damaged. In this way, it can recover Gansu, Ningxia and other places as soon as possible, and set an example for the small towns on Dongjin Road."
Li Zicheng was already ready to fight a tough battle, but he didn't expect that a defender would surrender. He said slightly disappointed: "It seems that Prince Zhu is not in the city."
Gu Junen pondered for a moment and said, "Crown Prince Zhu even had to guard Ruzhou for two days, not to mention that Xi'an City is high and deep, there is no reason to abandon it. I think there is another constraint in the Ming court."
"I'm afraid Xi'an has no defending soldiers." Niu Jinxing interrupted.
Li Zicheng nodded, stood up hula, put on his signature wide-eaves felt hat, and said, "Let's go! Let's talk about it when you enter Xi'an."
...
"He Zhu's family is rich and well-fed, we can't even eat a coarse grain bun! There is not even a piece of cold clothes to protect the cold in the cold weather! Should we be beaten by them when we were born??" Wang Genzi stood at the top of the city, angry and cursed.
The personal soldiers, servants or followers, were extremely angry when they heard it.
The soldiers around him knew that there was something wrong, and they all silenced, not even dared to breathe.
"I stood in front of the Qin King's Gate for two days, and he refused to see me even when he saw me!" Wang Genzi vented his anger in his heart: "Since that's the case, we won't see him. We just opened the city gate and welcomed the King of Chuang! Let the King of Chuang talk to him!"
"I have long since wanted to work hard for the Zhu family! Follow the general to welcome the King of Chuang!" The servants below clamored, exerting pressure on the soldiers who refused to express their opinions.
Wang Genzi glanced at him and saw that most of the soldiers were still standing on his side, and no one jumped out to be Zhu Ming's filial son. He shouted: "I have made an appointment with the King of Chuang. I just waited for the three sounds of the war drum of the righteous army and the two armies were connected. We opened the city gate and offered the city! Any brother who was willing to advance and retreat with my Wang Genzi would wrap the green cloth on his left arm! If he was a brother who was unwilling to do so, I would not force him. He would just meet in the battle formation in the future and pretend not to know him!"
"We swear to follow the general to the death!" The soldiers of the servants drew their swords and held them high to stab the sky.
Among the other soldiers, some of them were changing their powers and raised their weapons to show their obedience. The remaining ones who could but not surrendered were even more worried that they would be put on the order and were pulled out to sacrifice the flag, so they also shouted.
For a moment, the city was changing, and everyone wore blue cloth on their left arm.
The news of the surrender of the guards had spread in the camp. As long as they reached the city gate, they would be done. I knew that I would not have to use my life to fill the city, the morale of the soldiers in the camp was suddenly high and I wished I could beat the drums and march immediately.
The cannon finally rang!
Dong, Dong, Dong!
The war drums are like thunder.
"Kill the thief!" The two armies rushed towards each other with the slogan of killing the thief at the same time.
Triard led the way, and had already seen the black mole on the face of the horse soldiers rushing towards the camp, and stabbed the long sword in his hand diagonally.
In the flash, the two of them passed by. Trildar felt a fierce force coming from the tiger's mouth, and almost let out a long sword. In an instant, the hot blood splattered on Trildar's face, filling his nose with a fishy smell, making his face numb.
——Kill one!
Trialda touched a breath of white breath, and the war horse was already trapped in the bandit formation, and it was hard to speed up. He looked back at the towering city of Xi'an and shouted loudly: "Kill one thief and reward five taels of silver! Kill!" As he shouted, Trialda aimed at a bandit soldier with his back to him and slashed it with a heavy knife, slashing the head of the bandit soldier, and suddenly his blood plasma surging.
"Kill!" The Ming soldiers behind him were encouraged and rushed forward to protect both sides of Trialda.
After killing the two of them in succession, Trialda finally regained the feeling of going to fight to kill the enemy. She was even more courageous. The soldiers who were about to incite to break through the enemy formation. Suddenly, he heard a terrified cry from behind: "The city gate is open! The city is sacrificed!"
Dedicated to the city!?
Triard paused in his heart, and then woke up, and immediately understood why there was no arrow on the city wall so far. He cursed loudly: "Wang Genzi! Your mother!"
It seemed as if I heard Triard's curse, a rain of arrows fell on the city wall, and the Ming army's rear formation suddenly burst into tears and curses.
"Dusi! Let's go!" The personal soldiers who were chasing him rushed forward and grabbed the bridle of the Trildar's war horse.
"Where to go?" What Trialda saw in his eyes and heard in his ears was that his son died in the battlefield, his heart was sad and angry, but he was exhausted.
"You go... I'm not enough to repay the emperor's kindness if I don't die..." Triard grabbed the horse's head, squeezed the horse's belly heavily, and jumped into the enemy's formation.
He raised his sword and slashed the air. The flaws exposed on his body were caught by the enemy soldiers, and several spears stabbed him and knocked him down.
"Catch a big one!"
"Don't step on it to death!"
"I killed it!"
When Trialda heard the last sentence, she turned out to be a kind local accent, and the pain in her body was reduced a lot until her eyes fell into darkness.
A quick-witted camp knife stepped forward and chopped off Trilda's head, picked up a spear from the ground, raised it high, and announced loudly: "I killed the enemy general! The enemy general was killed by me!"
Seeing that the commander's commander died in the formation, the Ming army fled one after another. Several personal soldiers who avenged Trialda were instantly machetes by the enemy. The Ming army, who left the city to fight, were immediately wiped out.
The soldiers who broke into the camp roared in their mouths and rushed towards the wide open city gate. Their whistling sound was expanded by the hollow city gate hole thousands of times. The entire Xi'an city was shrouded in the whistling like a beast.
...
"Master! Commander Cui died in the battle! Wang Genzi opened the door and offered the city! The bandits are about to arrive!"
Feng Shikong was wearing court clothes and sat upright in front of the desk. The desk was filled with a letter of the unwavering ink. He didn't even look at the family, but just stood up and bowed to the east for three times before saying, "Take my letter to the capital."
Seeing this, the family knew that Feng Shikong was going to commit suicide to the city, so they felt sad: "Master! Let's leave too!"
"Nonsense!" Feng Shikong shouted angrily, but he no longer had the strength to get angry. He just waved his hand, and his voice gradually became deeper: "Let's go." He stepped down and seemed to flutter with the wind. In his mind, countless past scenes flashed through his mind, remembering his title in the Golden List, his wedding candle, and until he was ranked second in the official position and was bound to Guanzhong...
Plop!
Feng Shikong fell head-on into the well in the yard.
——The well water in winter turns out to be warm.
This was Feng Shikong's last thought, and he immediately fell into eternal sleep.
...
Huang Jiongguanfu sat in the main hall of his home, and outside the door was surrounded by soldiers who broke into the camp. These soldiers did not attack the Huang Mansion, but were only besieged and no one was allowed to enter and exit.
Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves came from outside, and the soldiers shouted long live, and broke open the door and let the man come in.
Huang Jiongyan watched the man come in, but saw a strong man wearing a wide-eaved felt hat and one-eyed tiger-step. He immediately put him on the account with the thief Li Zicheng.
——This is the disaster star of the Ming Dynasty!
Huang Jiong said in his heart.
"Master Huang, don't be fine." Li Zicheng smiled and said, "Well, I come to see you as soon as I enter the city. How about it? Isn't it better to be a military minister here than to work hard for Zhu Chao?"
"Hahaha," Huang Jiong laughed, "You? You are just a thief who I killed in Tongguan! Let me surrender to you? I think so beautifully!"
Huang Jiong was on the position of deputy envoy of Lingong's army, and mobilized foreign troops to defeat Li Zicheng at Tongguan.
The two of them met an old friend in a foreign land - but unfortunately they were enemies.
"Master!" An old man rushed out of the back hall and cried sadly: "Grandma has jumped into the well."
Huang Jiong was sad when he heard his wife jumping into the well and felt relieved again. He glanced at Li Zicheng and stood up and said, "If there is a strong wife at home, how can you not take her off?"
Li Zicheng frowned slightly and wanted to take him away, but thinking that Huang Jiong could not fly out of Xi'an, he could just fulfill him. As soon as he turned around and took a few steps, he heard a burst of crying from behind.
Huang Jiong also threw himself into a well.
Since then, there are many Yijingshang in Chang'an.
...
Li Zicheng came out of Huang Jiong's house and felt heavy. He still respected the officials of the Zhu Dynasty who could defeat him. Unfortunately, most of these people were loyal and righteous people. After entering Xi'an, he ordered his subordinates not to burn, kill, loot. Now the people in Xi'an city are closed, and every door is covered with people, and no one is walking on the road. It is already the best state of order after the city is broken.
In addition to the volunteer king's army, whose army can do this?
Li Zicheng was quite contented, but he was immediately frowning because of Huang Jiong's family's death. Whether it was him, Niu Jinxing, Gu Junen, everyone said that Zhu Ming had exhausted his energy, but how could he rather die than surrender? He thought while walking, suddenly, the war horse under his crotch stood up, and it turned out that a group of people gathered in front of him.
"What's ahead?" Li Zicheng asked unhappily.
The general Li Shuangxi, who was also his adopted son and recognized successor, hurriedly stepped forward to ask. Li Zicheng rode his horse a few steps closer and saw a human figure hanging on the tall Duanli Gate of the Qin Palace from afar. When he approached, he saw that someone was hanging himself on the Duanli Gate.
The man was wearing a vermilion wardrobe and a beam crown on his head. He was already dead when he put it down.
"Who is this?" Li Zicheng's joy after breaking the city was completely defeated.
He is not afraid of seeing dead people, he has seen many dead people.
But he had never been so disgusted by so many dead people.
"Marson, this is Zhang Shangxi, the chief of the Qin Prince's Mansion." Li Shuangxi quickly ordered someone to find out and came back to report to Li Zicheng.
Li Zicheng sighed: "It's so buried. Is the King of Qin still there?"
King Zhu Cun of Qin opened the middle door very much, wearing the imperial Ming Dynasty vassal crown and uniform, kneeling under the steps, trembling. (To be continued, please search for astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
ps: There is another chapter later~~
I look at my moral integrity recently, so I will say a few nonsense. Since this book was newly opened, Xiao Tang has never asked for a single chapter. Today I saw a book friend suggesting me to open a single chapter, and I was really frightened. It’s not that I’m not confident in my perseverance, but that I really realized that some book friends have devoted themselves to this book. This kind of love really made Xiao Tang afraid to let everyone down. Think about Qidian’s day before yesterday, which is all the gifts of the book friends! If Xiao Tang just had a playful mentality while writing, how could he be worthy of everyone’s sincere heart?
