Chapter 341: I Sword My Sword
"Siege! Besiege! We must take Jinan City, this king will definitely catch Tie Xuan and cut that man with a thousand knives! ”
Zhu Di was furious, and the Yan army also played a real fire, they concentrated the stone throwing machine, and bombarded a fortress in Jinan City, Zhang Yu, Zhu Neng, Qiu Fu and several other fierce generals took turns to lead the army to charge, this fierce battle was really more tragic than ever.
The defenders in the city have been forced to a dead end, and the surrender has been a prudent strategy of the defenders of the city since ancient times, because it is easy to be retaliated by slaughtering the city. The fear of death inspired their courage and determination to fight to the death, one after another, up and down the city, and the sea of corpses and blood.
"Whoa!"
Under the repeated throwing of the stone throwing machine, the city wall collapsed a gap, the ladder can be directly built on it, the soldiers are attached to the ants, the source is endless, the city head immediately mobilizes people and horses to counterattack, the two sides repeatedly fight over the gap in the city wall, the city wall changes hands several times, just fell into the hands of the Yan army, and was recaptured by the defenders who fought back.
"Gather the Bronze Fire Gun and blast them all to me!"
Zhu Gaoxu stood on the earthen wall with a knife, and immediately shouted loudly when he saw this scene.
Six or seven bronze guns were transferred, although its power was not enough to collapse the city wall, but a large area of sputtered iron sand caused a great killing effect to the defenders of the city, because the city wall has appeared a gap, the copper artillery in the earthen wall piled up outside the city to suppress the enemy, the Yan army below can continue to climb, the interval between the artillery stops, they can immediately rush to the city head to fight.
This time the defenders fell into a more difficult battle, and when the artillery roared, they did not dare to avoid cover, and naturally suffered heavy casualties.
"Report, General. The walls collapsed, and there was no time to build them. The Yan army suppressed our army with artillery fire, and suffered heavy casualties, and if it continues like this, we will not be able to hold it. ”
A blood-covered banner officer staggered in front of Sheng Yong, Sheng Yong gritted his teeth, drew his knife and said: "The situation is critical, Lord Tie, please sit here with General Daiben, and I will lead the team to recapture the city wall." ”
"General, slow!"
Tie Xuan stopped: "The artillery is sharp, the general goes to the battle in person, I'm afraid it won't help, once the general dies in battle, Tie Mou doesn't learn the art of war, how to command the army and the people?" ”
Sheng Yong said helplessly: "At this moment, what can you and I do?" ”
Tie Xuan was anxious and sneered: "General, wait a minute, I have a method, and see if Yan dares to risk the world!" After saying that, he hurriedly turned around and walked towards the bookcase, Sheng Yong, Gao Wei and the others looked at each other in amazement.
After a moment's effort, Tie Xuan lifted the ink and drenched a large piece of paper, as long as a couplet, with a line of big characters on it: "Open the heavens, walk the way, Zhao Ji, establish the great saint, the supreme god, benevolence, righteousness, martial arts, virtue, success, and high emperor!" ”
Tie Xuan said: "Come on, quickly paste it on the wooden board and place it in the collapse of the city wall, I want to see if he Zhu Di dares to bombard the city!" ”
"Tie Hyun, Tie Hyun!"
Zhu Di heard that the cannon was dumb, even the stone throwing machine was dumb, he was stunned inexplicably, and when he saw it in front of the battle, he was so angry that he was born with one Buddha and two Buddhas ascended to heaven, but unfortunately he was so angry that he jumped to his feet, but he couldn't.
The two armies are fighting, and they are really doing everything, and the iron who is praised as a sincere gentleman actually invited the god of Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor of Taizu, to put it on the battlements of the city wall, such a ruffian means ......, the Yan army under the city is empty with a sharp weapon, and in the face of that small spirit card, no one dares to move, that is the spirit card of His Royal Highness the Yan King's father, who dares to bombard it?
"Tie Hyun, Tie Hyun!"
Zhu Di was ashamed and humiliated, he was furious, he drew his knife and pointed directly at the head of the city, and cursed sharply: "If this king doesn't cut the thirteen mothers with a thousand knives, fry them in the fryer, it will be difficult to eliminate the hatred in my heart!" ”
said cruel words in his mouth, but looking at the dead father's spirit card standing at the head of the city, he was at a loss. 3
The 600,000 troops of the imperial court couldn't stop him, but in the face of the spirit card of the imperial examination, how could he cut the steel knife in his hand?
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Li Jinglong clamped his tail and went back to Jinling.
He led the remnants of the defeated army from Jinan all the way to the south, and fled to Xuzhou in one breath, and he did not leave. He couldn't go, the emperor gave him 800,000 troops back and forth, but he lost the battle in a row, and now there are only tens of thousands of people around him, what face does he have to go back to Jinling? There is no reason to go back and not be beheaded.
Li Jinglong gained a firm foothold in Xuzhou, pondered and pondered, thinking that it was better to gather the remnants of the army first, he first sent someone to inquire about the movements of the Yan army, and learned that the Yan army had besieged Jinan, and then ordered Guo Ying, Ping'an, Chen Hui and other generals to lead troops to wait for the dispatch.
This old brother waited for more than half a month, and the old general Guo Ying didn't bird him, and directly threw his order arrow in the face of his herald, blasted out the big tent of the Chinese army, and then went on to write his plea and complaint; Ping An still gave him face, hummed and agreed, just promised to agree, just didn't move the nest, he worked hard near the Danjia Bridge, and built a small soldier town into an iron wall, and then he continued to send troops to intercept the Yan army's grain road and copy the Yan army's back road; Chen Hui's side also agreed, but today he said that the remnants of the defeated army had not been gathered, and Ming'er said that he knew that the Yan army had set up an ambush halfway, in short, he just didn't move.
The other generals are also generally similar, the old ones don't give him a good face, and the same generation finds many strange reasons. Since ancient times, the general has not been granted the order of the foreign monarch, but when Li Jinglong changed it, it was changed to the general who did not grant the order of the foreign commander, and no one paid attention to him at all, Cao Guogong and the rebellious general Li Jinglong had not been dismissed by the emperor, and was first abandoned by the generals under his command.
Li Jinglong couldn't advance, and he couldn't retreat, so he had to blame others as much as possible for the reason for the defeat, and then wrote a secret letter, asking someone to send it to Jinling to Huang Zicheng, hoping that at the critical moment, Lord Huang would pull the little brother again.
Huang Zicheng read Li Jinglong's letter, the whole person was about to collapse, before Li Jinglong's 500,000 army was defeated and retreated to Dezhou City, he was able to hide such a major event that the government and the opposition heard about, only coaxing the emperor to know, this is almost against the sky, now the 600,000 army is defeated, worse than the last defeat, only half of the 600,000 army is alive, including tens of thousands of disabled soldiers, Texas millions of military rations are paid to the enemy, Jinan Mansion is besieged, generals from all walks of life have written books, and the word refers to Li Jinglong, He Huang Zicheng is covering the sky with one hand, and he can't hide this matter.
Huang Zicheng didn't pull him again, but took his letter to the emperor to impeach him.
Zhu Yunwen is still learning Zhou Li, this thing is broad and profound, if he wants to rule the world with Zhou Li, retro Anbang, he can't learn it clearly, he is learning with relish, Huang Zicheng came with Li Jinglong's letter in his face.
When Zhu Yunwen saw that his face was different, he couldn't help but wonder: "What is the matter with the sir?" ”
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty......"
Huang Zicheng fell to the ground, and the old tears were rampant: "Li Jinglong was defeated, Dezhou was defeated, and the 800,000 army was defeated, and now Yan Rebellion has been trapped in Jinan City, Li Jinglong has been defeated and left Xuzhou, and the generals are fighting for a plate of scattered sand, the emperor ......"
"What?"
Zhu Yunwen was shocked, stood up on the ground and said, "Didn't Li Jinglong lead the troops to attack Thirteen Niang Beiping?" How could it be defeated in Texas, with an army of 800,000 ...... Unexpectedly defeated? How many soldiers and horses does Yan Reverse have? ”
Huang Zicheng kowtowed: "Your Majesty, Li Jinglong's troops sent to Beiping, to the Baigou River, and they were meeting the Yan rebel soldiers and horses, Li Jinglong was arrogant, arrogant and slow down the enemy, so that he was defeated and humiliated the country......"
Zhu Yunwen's face turned pale, he took two steps back, and stumbled on the chair, Huang Zicheng took a few steps prostrately, and cried: "Li Jinglong's command is improper, and he has broken countless soldiers and horses in my court, and I also ask Your Majesty to immediately issue an order to summon Li Jinglong back to Beijing, punish his head, and punish him with a canonical punishment, so as to thank the world, encourage the soldiers, and inspire." ”
Zhu Yunwen's heart was in turmoil, and he waved his hand and said: "Quickly pass the decree and announce Li Jinglong's return to Beijing!" Then he stepped forward to help Huang Zicheng up, and said in a panic: "Sir, Li Jiujiang is defeated, and Shandong Mansion is in danger, what should I do?" ”
Huang Zicheng opened his mouth, but he couldn't take out the grandeur of the Wolong and Phoenix Chicks anymore.
Seeing this, Zhu Yunwen hurriedly said: "Quick, Mr. Xuan Xiaozhi, Qi Tai of the Ministry of War and other important military ministers will go to the Zhengxin Hall to discuss matters!" ”
Li Jinglong looked through the autumn water in Xuzhou, did not wait for Huang Zicheng's clever plan, but waited for a holy decree, and had to return to Beijing in a sad and panicked manner.
Li Jinglong arrived in Beijing, tied his hands, went to the hall to ask for sin, Huang Zicheng was the first to snatch it out and said: "Your Majesty, Li Jinglong humiliated the country and mourned the teacher, and the crime deserves death. ”
Li Jinglong also knew that his sin was serious, only trembling with fright, and kowtowing again and again to ask for guilt, Zhu Yunwen saw it in his eyes, thinking that when he was still the emperor's grandson, he had a very good relationship with him, and now he is a king, he is a minister, his life and death are in his own hands, and his compassion is together, and that anger is not a little weak, so he said: "The top priority is how to deal with Yan Yi." Although Li Jinglong's sin is unforgivable, but after remembering that he is the founder of the country, I really can't bear to kill him, and ...... Extrajudicial mercy, spare him. ”
Huang Zicheng said solemnly: "The law, the law of the ancestors, the law of the law, the law to inspire the soldiers." Today, Li Jinglong was ordered by the emperor to rebel, but he was incompetent, so that he lost his teacher and humiliated the country, although ten thousand deaths were not enough to atone for his sins! ”
Li Jinglong bit his teeth when he heard this, and stared at Huang Zicheng resentfully, but at this time, he was already a street rat that everyone shouted and beaten, but Huang Zicheng was the emperor's first favorite minister, how dare he provoke Huang Zicheng and make matters worse for himself.
Seeing that the emperor had the intention to pardon Li Jinglong, Lian Zi, the deputy capital, also rushed out of the class angrily and said: "Your Majesty, the way to govern the army should be clear in rewards and punishments, Your Majesty should not give pardon, but should be severely punished, so as to inspire the morale of the army!" ”
The generals pretended to be deaf and dumb, and none of them made a sound, just watching these civil servants talking to themselves, and Yu Xin, the young imperial envoy in the civil affairs class, who was originally resolutely opposed to violating the ancestral system and cutting down the barriers, jumped out angrily and shouted: "Your Majesty, Li Jinglong, unforgivable!" Not only Li Jinglong is unforgivable, but Huang Zicheng, who recommended him to take command and send troops, is also unforgivable! ”
As soon as Yu Xin said this, the whole hall was shocked, and he said impassionedly: "Not only Huang Zicheng is unforgivable, but the minister heard that the imperial court rebel army suffered a big loss under the city of Beiping at the beginning, if the situation is true, the military department Shangshu Qitai concealed the military situation, and it is also unforgivable; Fang Xiaoru is in charge of national affairs, and it is unforgivable to intercept the defeat of the army. These people tolerated Li Jinglong's incompetents, causing heavy casualties to the 800,000 troops of the imperial court, and shaking the country; Countless families have been left with only orphans and widows, crying day and night. All of them are sins that cannot be forgiven, and it is not an exaggeration to punish them! ”
As soon as Yu Xin, an angry young man, jumped out, he did a disservice, only killed his eldest cousin Zhu Yunwen was reluctant, and if Fang Huang Qitai and others were to be held responsible, what else could he use around him, wouldn't Jianwen New Deal die halfway? In the face of such consequences, how could he afford to sacrifice the Shang Fang Sword in his hand?
