Chapter 497: The Prince's Prestige (First Update, Ask for Subscription)
Not everyone is qualified to go to the king's side to "appreciate the treasure".
The generals who can go to "reward treasures" are of high rank, they are all the main generals of the first battalion, and there are always some deputy generals who remain in the army.
Wang Fuchen is one of the unqualified lieutenants.
When the loud noise and the shaking of the mountains shook the soldiers in the army, as soon as he heard the explosion, Wang Fuchen immediately pulled out his sword and ran out, and at the same time shouted:
"All follow me!"
His own soldiers followed him closely, drew their swords and ran out. As soon as they rushed out with their front feet, as soon as they saw a soldier fleeing, Wang Fuchen first slashed down one of them with his sword, and then shouted loudly.
"Quick, four dogs, bring people over, let everyone stop, those who dare to rush into the barracks will be killed!"
Perhaps Wang Fuchen is not from a general's background, but he has been fighting under the Eight Kings for so many years, and he knows how powerful Ying Xiao is, although he still doesn't know what happened, but he still instinctively went to maintain order in the camp.
Under his command, more than 200 pro-soldiers shouted and shouted.
"All kneel, kneel down to avoid death, rush into the big camp, kill!"
While cutting down the running people to the ground with knives and guns, some officials watched, and followed the veterans who shouted Xiangxiang, carrying guns and knives and shouting, and it took a long time to finally restore some order in the chaotic camp.
It took him about half an hour to restore order in the camp, and immediately ordered the whole team to go into the city with him, and as soon as he left the camp, he saw that the other camps were already in chaos, and the people guarding the gate fell to the ground, and the camp was also in chaos, and it was too late, and thousands of people were slashing each other in the camp like that, some were cut down in the melee, and some were still desperately resisting. There were also many people who came out with red eyes, and there was also chaos outside the camp.
Seeing this, Wang Fuchen waved his sword, rode on his horse and shouted:
"Follow me!"
After that, he rushed to the middle of the rebels first, and bravely killed and slashed in the midst of the rebels. It was not easy to lead more than 10,000 horses out of the chaotic camp, and behind him, in the camp that stretched for dozens of miles, it would have become a mess. There were so many rebels who either fled or slashed and killed each other, looking at the chaotic camp, Wang Fuchen's face did not have the slightest blood, but he immediately said loudly.
"Let's go, let's go into town! Protect the King! ”
After that, he led more than 10,000 horses to Yuezhou City. As soon as he entered the city, he immediately ordered people to go up to the city wall to close the city gates, and then went straight to the palace, and finally arrived at the palace.
The tragic situation in front of him startled him. Looking at the palace that had been razed to the ground, he grabbed a person in horror and asked.
"What, what's going on?"
"General, the villain doesn't know either, all of a sudden it exploded, and half of the city is gone......"
"That's right, it's all thieves who have done too much evil, and God sent Tianlei to accept him......"
If it was normal, it is estimated that Wang Fuchen would have cut it with a knife, but now he can take care of other people's nonsense.
What to do?
"General, general, run away, the officers and soldiers are coming, they occupy the dock!"
At this moment, a civil official ran over and shouted loudly to Wang Gu in a panic.
At this moment, a rout soldier fled from the direction of the dock, and as soon as he heard that an official army was coming, Wang Fuchen said loudly with his legs between his legs.
"Let's go, go to Yueyangmen!"
Before the people arrived at the wharf, they heard a warship coming on the river, and Wang Fuchen ordered his subordinates to close the city gate, and they used stones to hold it inside, and at the same time led his own soldiers to climb the city wall first. Standing at Yueyang Gate and looking outside the city, good guy, this fleet is really a lot, there are hundreds of big ships.
Yueyang Gate is the west gate of Yueyang, because of its proximity to Dongting Lake, it has become the only passage for waterway to enter and exit Yueyang City. And the place where soldiers must fight during the war is also the place occupied by Li Mingsi and others, although the enemy on the city wall is condescending, they are not in a hurry, after all, their own large army has arrived.
As soon as the fleet arrived at Yueyang City, Zhu Guoqiang ordered people to shout:
"The army of the imperial court has arrived, and those who are attached to the thieves and rebels, if they surrender the city, they can avoid the death penalty!"
The reason why he was persuaded to surrender was because the "internal guards" in the city had already spread the news - the puppet palace was razed to the ground!
Zhang Xianzhong doesn't know whether he is alive or dead!
Wang Fuchen, who hurriedly came to the city wall, was dumbfounded, how did this official army come so quickly? Before he could put on his armor, he stood at the gate of Yueyang City, looked at the mighty fleet on the lake, and shouted loudly.
"Who's coming?"
"Raise the flag!"
Zhu Guoqiang gave an order.
There are two sides to the flag, one is "General Ming Pingyu" and the other is "Zhu".
Of course, Wang Fuchen didn't have a telescope, but at such a close point, he didn't need it at all, and he could see the words on it clearly.
Not to mention him, even an illiterate person can read the big character on it clearly. Those who don't know the "General of the Ming Dynasty" can always recognize "Zhu", after all, it is the national surname of the Ming Dynasty.
"Zhu!"
When everyone saw it, they were all shocked, many of them had heard that the emperor sent the "Pingyu General", who is the "Pingyu General", it is a fairy who can lead the sky and thunder to destroy the Tartars!
The civil official who followed Wang Fuchen upstairs was an official awarded by Zhang Xianzhong in Wuchang, in fact, he was a show talent who was not promoted in the examination for more than a dozen people, surnamed Liu, although he was awarded an official, but he was actually not willing to be a thief, after all, for scholars, his heart is still inclined to the imperial court. In fact, being a thief is not only to change the way out, but also to change the way of life for the family.
Liu Xiucai was also not level enough to appreciate the treasure before he escaped.
He looked at it and was shocked.
"General, surrender the city quickly, this is the general of Pingyu!"
"Yes, yes, general, this thunder is too strange, General Pingyu, it was the thunder that led the sky to burn Jinan City and destroy the Tartar prince?"
Suddenly, the people on the city wall were a little panicked, they were panicked, they were obviously afraid, and some people even looked up at the sky.
Liu Xiucai said: "Who else can there be besides him?" ”
Wang Fuchen panicked:
"How did he get here so quickly?"
Liu Xiucai said:
"Oh, my General Wang, when he went on an expedition to Liaodong, he returned to Nanjing from Liaodong, and tens of thousands of troops were also coming in an instant. General, are you better than the Eastern Captives? Or are we better than the Tartars? ”
Wang Fuchen couldn't help but feel weak in his heart, and opened his throat and shouted:
"It's the general who came?"
Zhu Guoqiang said with a smile.
"If you don't change your name, you don't change your surname, it's my son Zhu Ciying! Hurry up and open the city to welcome the king, I will protect you from death! ”
Liu Xiucai hurriedly asked:
"The villain is forced to be a thief, and he may not be able to keep his reputation?"
What is most important to a reader? Fame, of course.
Zhu Guoqiang replied:
"If you don't do evil, what's the harm in keeping your reputation? As for this general, the death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped, and great merit must be made for the court to offset the merits! ”
Hearing this, Wang Fuchen immediately said angrily:
"The death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped, so wouldn't it be my own death if I surrender?"
Liu Xiucai hurriedly persuaded:
"General, don't worry. You want to. What kind of character is General Pingyu, he is a character who has won a hundred battles and has never tasted defeat. That's why he spoke so hard, otherwise he would casually fool us into opening the city gate, yes, we don't want to kill if we want, just kill if we want. Now he says that the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped, in fact, it is not simple for him to take this Yueyang City, it is nothing more than to lead another thunderbolt. Now to put it this way. It's just that he didn't intend to lie to us, if he says that he is not to blame in the past, can you believe it? ”
"Of course I don't believe it, we are a big crime of rebellion, and besides, we have followed the king once before, and now we are descending again, how can the court easily believe us!"
Wang Fuchen said.
Liu Xiucai said:
"That's it, that's why I said that the general didn't intend to deceive us."
After glancing at the city, Liu Xiucai persuaded again: "General, come down." The general doesn't want to add so many killings, that's why he gave us this opportunity, if we miss it, it's all over! ”
