Chapter 987: Damned Loyal Minister
Yuan Chengli scolded and drove the soldiers upward, but he shrank behind.
It's not that he was timid and didn't dare to rush, in fact, Yuan Chengli also fought against the Qing army when Ying Tianfu was breached last time.
Yuan Chengli was worried that Huang Dazhan would suddenly attack.
This worry is understandable, if it weren't for the sudden defection of Huang Dachun and Huang Dahong's subordinates, Wu Zheng would have become something in his pocket at this time.
Huang Dazhan took the lead in directing the soldiers to rush upward, but he was also worried in his heart, the closer he was to the top of the mountain, his heart was already in his throat.
His worry is not that he is afraid of Yuan Chengli behind him, Yuan Chengli is just a clown jumping off the beam in Huang Dazhan's eyes.
What Huang Dazhan is worried about is that if Wu Zheng is arrested or killed, then the two younger brothers will be rebels, even if the Huang family is exonerated for their own arrest, the two brothers will definitely be guilty of death.
Therefore, only Wu Zheng is alive and escapes from here with his two younger brothers is the only way to protect his two younger brothers.
Is it possible?
Can't do it!
The closer you get to the top of the mountain, the more likely it is that the water will be released.
Huang Dazhan's heart was tormented, he couldn't bear to let his two younger brothers die in vain, but he couldn't let the Huang family be implicated in this matter.
Looking at the top of the mountain, which was only thirty steps away, Huang Dazhan raised his head suddenly, let out a long roar to the sky, and then gritted his teeth and raised his knife, pointing to the top of the mountain, "Attack!" ”
At this last moment, Huang Dazhan finally made a choice.
Since Wu Zheng has nowhere to escape and his fate is already doomed, he can only make a move forward, attack it, capture or kill Wu Zheng with his own hands, and plead with the emperor to give his two younger brothers a way to live.
"Kill Wu Zheng!"
When Huang Dazhan shouted these four words.
When Yuan Chengli was surprised by Huang Dazhan's sudden oath.
When the Forbidden Army straightened up and charged towards the top of the hill that was close at hand.
The dull, coherent sound of musket firing pierced the last shred of the slowly rising sun.
It was getting dark.
The man who was hit fell straight down like a piece of rotten wood, and then dripped down the hillside.
The soldiers of the forbidden army, who rushed up all over the mountain, raised their heads and looked at the top of the mountain in shock.
Countless soldiers of the Northern Expeditionary Army, armed with muskets with bayonets, roared and rushed downward.
They are yelling, "Surrender or kill!" ”
They are yelling, "Only punish the evil, not coercion!" ”
Everyone was terrified by this pouring torrent, and no one thought that the onslaught of the Northern Expeditionary Army could be held back in this terrain.
Even if you haven't eaten pork, you've seen pigs run.
The name of the Northern Expeditionary Army is strong, and the Yixing Dynasty is afraid that it will no longer find anyone who has not heard of it.
Among the soldiers of the forbidden army, many were still supporters of the Northern Expeditionary Army.
This has nothing to do with being ordered to hunt down Wu Zheng, it's just their hearts, their respect for the strong.
However, only the soldiers of the Northern Expeditionary Army knew in their hearts that the prince was merciful, and if they were allowed to do it, the forbidden army that was all over the mountains and fields would definitely not survive more than fifty percent in the end.
Yuan Chengli was captured alive, although his reaction was very fast, at the moment when the Northern Expeditionary Army rushed down, Yuan Chengli knew that it was over, the key point of this chase was that Wu Zheng was defenseless, and when Huang Dazhan led the forbidden army to meet, Yuan Chengli once thought that the incident had happened and planned to flee for his life.
However, Huang Dazhan told him that he was ordered to arrest the rebel Wu Zheng, which gave Yuan Chengli great courage.
His rebellion suddenly took on a veneer of legitimacy.
But now, Yuan Chengli knows very well that as long as Wu Zheng is not killed quickly, then more and more reinforcements will come, and at that time his rebellion will be revealed to the world.
Therefore, all Yuan Chengli can think of is to escape, run for his life!
It's a pity that it's late, no, to be precise, there is no chance at all.
From the time when the soldiers of the Northern Expeditionary Army shouted "surrender and do not kill", "only punish the evil, and do not coerce and obey", Yuan Chengli became a "fragrant bait".
It was not the Northern Expeditionary Army that captured Yuan Chengli, but the forbidden army under Yuan Chengli's department.
Yes, these forbidden troops are Yuan Chengli's henchmen, unlike Huang Dazhan, these forbidden troops under Yuan Chengli's command are fed by him with silver.
On weekdays, countless amounts of silver were smashed into it, so that Yuan Chengli could be like a finger, and even the order to hunt down and kill the county king was listened to.
Unfortunately, life is worth more than silver.
If the Northern Expeditionary Army had not shouted "surrender and not kill" and "only punish the evil, not coercion", they might really be able to live and die with Yuan Chengli and resist stubbornly to the end.
But when the Northern Expeditionary Army shouted "surrender and don't kill", "only punish the evil, don't punish the coercion", no one's life was blown by the wind, they quickly restrained Yuan Chengli, who had just run a few steps down, pressed to the ground, and then surrendered.
Huang Dazhan was stunned at first, but then relaxed.
He was laughing, not even giving another order.
The knife in his hand was still clenched.
His eyes were still fixed on the top of the mountain.
But in his heart, he was extremely relaxed.
When the prince is alive, the two younger brothers will make great contributions, so they will be reused, and the Huang family will be safe.
A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and it grew thicker and thicker.
For he saw two younger brothers, who were rushing towards him.
yes, just rush over there, faster!
"Big brother, put down the knife in your hand!" Huang Dachun and Huang Dahong roared as they saw the knife in Huang Dazhan's hand and the Northern Expeditionary Army gathered around.
Huang Dazhan smiled even more, he didn't speak, just looked at the two younger brothers who were getting closer and closer, hurry up.
When Huang Dachun pounced on and snatched the knife in his brother's hand, Huang Dazhan raised his knife and stabbed Huang Dachun in the chest.
Huang Dachun instinctively raised the knife in his hand forward and wanted to open it, but at this moment, Huang Dazhan pounced on it.
With a "poof", the knife came out of his chest.
It's too fast, Huang Dachun is running too fast, and with the potential energy up and down the slope, there is no time to react.
"Big brother!" Huang Dahong shouted.
"Why? Why...... Elder brother! Huang Dachun exchanged tears.
"For the Huang family!" Huang Dazhan exhaled comfortably, "The Huang family is a loyal family, my father said, the matter of eating the king, the matter of loyalty, although the brother is dead, but the Huang family can be preserved, it is worth it!" ”
"You could have not died!" Wu Zheng, who was following behind, couldn't help but palpitate when he saw such a scene, rushed to look at Huang Dazhan and sighed, "This king has promised your brother that even if you shout to kill this king, this king can pardon you...... Why bother? ”
However, the dying Huang Dazhan looked at Wu Zheng with his gradually godless eyes and said, "It's a pity ......." ”
"What a pity?"
"It's a pity that I can't follow the prince...... If the prince was the Son of Heaven, there would be no chaos today. ”
Wu Zheng was speechless.
Huang Dazhan suddenly perked up, "Dare to ask the prince, the last will be...... Loyalty? ”
Wu Zheng turned his back and left, and he felt an urge to roar in his heart, damn loyal minister!
Huang Dazhan let out his last breath in disappointment and died.
