700 Wins the first battle
The retreat of the rebels was a great encouragement to Zheng Fang and the people and defenders of the capital.
For a while, along with the defenders, they all cheered on the city wall, and Zheng Fang's expression was much more relaxed.
In the first battle, Zheng Fang probably saw the level of the other party's troops, and there was still a big gap between them and the first-class commanders, in fact, they should have temporarily retreated as early as when they dropped the first wave of oil bombs.
As a result, the enemy not only did not make the most correct decision in the first place, but also left so many corpses here in vain, which shows that the commander's ability is not good.
A third-rate army, a second-rate commander, such a rabble, wants to defeat the capital with its own guard, it is really a dream.
"Soldiers, don't take it lightly, it's hard to ensure that it's not a deliberate show of weakness by the enemy, we should be conscientious, guard the capital, and wait until the outside army arrives, it's time for the thieves to ambush them!"
After cheering, Zheng Fang opened his mouth to stabilize the morale of the army, and when he heard Zheng Fang's words full of hope, the soldiers who had just won the battle reacted violently.
"Long live the saints! Long live the Great Yuan Dynasty! Long live the Great General!!
The sound of the mountains roaring and the tsunami spread throughout half of the capital, and the news of the good news was quickly known to the ordinary people, and the hearts of the people were relieved for a while.
The saint also heard the news of the good news at the first time, and immediately, he stopped wasting time with the ministers in the palace, and left the palace directly, and collided with Zheng Fang, who came to restore his life, at the gate of the imperial city.
"Zheng Fang, Zheng Fang, it has to be you. ”
Knowing that it was Zheng Fang, the sage got down from the dragon chariot and patted Zheng Fang on the shoulder and said.
"Thanks to the praise of the saints, it is only the first wave of the offensive, and it is far from reaching the stage of victory. ”
Zheng Fang met with the saint, and then said calmly.
"I came back to deliver the message, just to make the saint feel more comfortable, and then the ministers and soldiers will continue to fight, and they will definitely hold the capital. ”
Zheng Fang's sincere words made the Great Yuan pilgrims block their hearts with a thousand words for a while.
"Good, good!"
Finally, the saint continued with three good words in a row.
"Zheng Fang, don't you know, when I was in the palace just now, I was angry!"
It turned out that when Zheng Fang and they were fighting bloodily in the city
Among the civil servants who were urgently summoned into the palace, a large part of them were surrenderers.
Advocate to the sage and suggest that he want to negotiate with the enemy.
"With only 100,000 soldiers and horses, they are so frightened that they want to negotiate with the enemy, if there are another 100,000, will they let me go out of the city and surrender???"
Thinking of this, the saint became angry.
"The saint is angry, write down this matter for the time being, and wait until the crisis is resolved, and then make a decision. ”
The surrender faction above the court, in Zheng Fang's eyes, is just a group of people who deserve a thousand cuts, and there is no way in front of them, so they have the idea of surrendering, once the situation is unstable, they are bound to be the first to abandon the country's greedy life and fear death.
"That's the only way, I endured a lot of anger, and when this crisis is resolved, I will let those soft eggs know that my Great Yuan Dynasty doesn't want such foolish officials. ”
The sage nodded, obviously he had the same thoughts as Zheng Fang about this matter.
Often the more critical the period, the more you can see the hearts of the people, even the emperor of the Great Yuan Dynasty and his courtiers.
Some are courtiers who want to live and die with the country wholeheartedly and will not give up in the end, while others only think about their own glory and wealth, and once they change, they are the first to choose to surrender.
Not to mention letting them take the initiative to resist, even if they cut them, as long as they don't move their lives and interests, they can agree to it.
"Zheng Fang, I don't have that kind of bird anger in the palace, I want to go to the city to personally supervise the army for you and boost the morale of our army. ”
Immediately afterwards, the sage said the question that Zheng Fang had not been able to speak.
Originally, it was good for the Great Yuan pilgrims to sit firmly in the palace, why should they leave the palace at a time when there was some chaos in the city?
It turned out that he wanted to go to the front line in person to cheer for the soldiers.
"Sage, the battle situation on the front line is not safe, why don't you wait in the palace?"
Hearing this, Zheng Fang's first reaction was to persuade the saint to retreat, although the appearance of the saint was definitely a great encouragement to his army, but the safety of the saint was also something Zheng Fang had to consider.
"Oh, if I don't go up to the city, on the tower of the urn city, okay?"
The saint obviously knew that Zheng Fang would object, and immediately said.
"Zheng Fang, you have to follow their example, you want to take me
I went to the tower of the urn city in front of me, first, it can boost morale and help defend the city, and second, I can also avoid those self-righteous courtiers and let me stop for a while, otherwise the enemy army will not be able to enter, and I will be angry to death by those soft eggs first!"
Hearing this, Zheng Fang knew that the saint was really angry.
"Yes, the saint is angry, take care of the dragon body, Zheng Fang will open the way for you!"
Speaking of which, Zheng Fang can't stop it, the saint already has his own ideas, and Wengcheng can indeed go.
So, together with Zheng Fang's guards and the saint's chariot, the group drove mightily towards the city gate.
Along the road, the news that the saint was going to drive the expedition in person spread quickly, and the people, who were still a little uneasy, knelt down excitedly when they saw this scene.
Just kidding, I was frightened by the enemy troops outside the city here, but I didn't know that even the saint would not hide in the imperial city to avoid danger, but personally came out to cheer for the defenders.
If the saint is still like this, what is there to fear about his own rotten life???
"Long live my emperor, long live the Great Yuan Dynasty, long live General Zheng......"
For a time, the people spontaneously shouted long live, and the scene was unique for a while.
Seeing the reaction of the people, the Dayuan pilgrims sitting in the chariot were naturally full of relief.
In this way, it can be regarded as fulfilling his responsibility as a monarch.
When he came to the tower of the urn city, the sage first met with the soldiers stationed there, and then entered the tower and defended the city with the soldiers.
"Zheng Fang, in your opinion, can these 100,000 people defeat the capital?"
After seeing his own soldiers, the saint's mood was much better, and the resentment accumulated in the palace before also dissipated a lot, so Zheng Fang sat down, and the two sat down and drank tea, and the saint chatted.
"If it is commanded by Zheng Fang, it can be taken in two days at most, but the other party has not yet shown his strength, so it is difficult to say now. ”
Zheng Fang's answer was very pertinent.
"The garrisons from all over the country have begun to return to Beijing to help, and the fastest one, the Eastern Army, will arrive in the early hours of tomorrow, and the vanguard force has 30,000 troops, all of whom are elite. ”
Immediately afterwards, Zheng Fang emphasized the most important piece of news to the saint, to be honest, Zheng Fang's true heart did not take the rebels outside the city seriously at all.
