Chapter 528: The City is Broken

Since Zhu Changxun retired for ten miles, the pressure in the city was suddenly greatly reduced, and Zhu Youxiao also specially set up a celebration wine for Zhu Hao to celebrate Zhu Hao's victory this time.

However, Zhu Hao himself knows that the matter is not over yet, although Zhu Changxun suffered some small losses this time, but it did not hurt his vitality, although he is retreating now, but his next wave of attacks may be extremely fierce.

Because the next time, Zhu Changxun's attack will be a decisive battle, and when the decisive battle comes, the other party will definitely not die, and then it will be the biggest crisis in the city.

If you can get through it safely, everyone will be happy, but if there is a slight mistake, I am afraid that the city will be turned into a scorched earth.

Zhu Hao has seen the richness of Zhu Changxun, and the so-called money can make ghosts grind.

Although Zhu Hao had already arrested all the Jiangnan officials who were assigned by the Jiangnan clan and wanted to make trouble last time, he was also afraid that other officials in the city would turn against Zhu Changxun because they couldn't withstand Zhu Changxun's huge wealth.

After all, Zhu Hao can't arrest all the officials in the city because he is worried, but now Zhu Hao is indeed a little worried about these officials.

After thinking about it, Zhu Hao finally decided that he could not leave the slightest hidden danger in the city, and he set up a temporary command headquarters before the war, and gathered all the officials in the city to take care of them, and did not allow them to contact anyone privately, but did not send these officials to prison.

To put it bluntly, these people were put under house arrest.

These officials were under house arrest, but naturally they were unwilling, and they fought in their own ways, some went on hunger strikes, some were insulting, and some were even fierce, hitting the wall headlong, and blood was splashed on the spot.

Zhu Hao faced these panicked, restless officials, had to go to the pacification, said that it was to pacify, Zhu Hao this time was the first to pacify and then the town, Zhu Hao saw these officials who were software, and said:

"Ladies and gentlemen, this king will give you a sin first, and let you stoop here for the time being, it is the fault of this king!"

As soon as Zhu Hao's words came out, even a few officials with a strong temper stood up and pointed at Zhu Hao's nose and said:

"King Xin, what do you want, you hundred officials under house arrest?"

"You are a rebellion, a great rebellion!"

"Shaft, don't stop the precipice, you know your way back! Otherwise, you will regret it! ”

"Are you really going to rebel?"

In the face of the insults and questions of these officials, Zhu Hao's expression was quite kind just now, and he immediately froze and said coldly:

"Shut up the king!"

"The king's words have not yet been finished, do you have a right to speak?"

"Left and right, one person has fifty palms, give them the rules of this king!"

As Zhu Hao's order was issued, a crackling slap sound, accompanied by the screams of these beaten officials, resounded throughout the audience.

After the fifty slaps, some officials who could not be tortured had already fainted, and the officials who did not faint also hung their heads and said nothing.

This slap method is generally a common method used by the inner court to educate eunuchs, but it is almost not used on scholars, because this method is too humiliating.

As the saying goes, a soldier can be killed but not humiliated, if it is a really bloody person, encountering this kind of situation, slapping in public, I am afraid that he will really commit suicide.

But now the imperial court, most of the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty are eunuchs, where is there any backbone to speak of, their fierceness is just pretending to cover up their shame.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have lost all the faces of the scholars, kneeling and licking Wei Zhongxian.

Zhu Hao's slap just now completely shocked the hundreds of officials present, and then Zhu Hao said reasonably:

"Ladies and gentlemen, don't blame the king, this king let you live here temporarily, and it is also for the sake of your lords!"

"Presumably, my lords, you also know that a few days ago, the officials of the Jiangnan Department in the city gathered a crowd to make trouble, intending to open the city gate to welcome the rebels, and they have been arrested by this king!"

"This king is afraid that you will be bewitched by the rebels and do something that is painful to the enemy, so let you live here temporarily, so as not to repeat the mistakes of the Jiangnan officials!"

Zhu Hao said, his face suddenly became even colder, and he shouted:

"Bring them all!"

"Open your eyes to all adults!"

With Zhu Hao's order, nearly 100 Jiangnan officials who were arrested before were escorted to the hundred officials by a group of soldiers, and then Zhu Hao pointed to these Jiangnan officials and said to the hundred officials:

"Ladies and gentlemen, you should be ashamed of these people and take these people as a warning!"

Zhu Hao said, and immediately shouted:

"Slash!"

With Zhu Hao's order, nearly 100 heads fell to the ground together, and among the hundreds of officials, some of them were unable to dodge in time, and they were drenched in blood sprayed out.

This bloody scene, where have these hundred officials been touched, the slightly better ones were also frightened by the scene in front of them, and those who were not as good as them sat on the ground on the spot and passed out.

As the saying goes, kill a chicken to show a monkey, Zhu Hao is killing people this time, showing people, the shock is enough to make these officials unforgettable for life.

After Zhu Hao finished this matter, he turned around and left, Zhu Hao came to see hundreds of officials this time, in fact, he conveyed two meanings, one is that you are good, don't make trouble, and second, don't think that this king will not dare to kill you, this king kills hundreds of officials like slaughtering dogs, and Jiangnan officials are examples.

After Zhu Hao performed this bloody trick, the hundred officials really became honest, and there was no longer anyone who insulted him with his neck, nor did he pretend to hit the wall, and they all became completely obedient.

After Zhu Hao settled down these unstable factors in the city, he reorganized his troops and horses and prepared to meet the life-and-death decisive battle with Zhu Changxun.

As Zhu Hao reorganized his armaments, Zhu Changxun was also actively preparing for war, because he failed in the first few tentative attacks, he was robbed by Zhu Hao, which made him lose some soldiers and horses, and he had lost patience.

Zhu Changxun prepared, this time all the soldiers and horses, all pressed on, and Zhu Hao duel, and after giving Zhu Changxun the idea that time, Yunyue, who disappeared, came back on the eve of Zhu Changxun's preparation for a decisive battle with Zhu Hao, and at the same time she also brought back a person.

This person is none other than Xiang Yu who she rescued from the execution ground last time, Yunyue pointed at Xiang Yu and said to Zhu Changxun:

"Your Majesty, I heard that you are preparing for a decisive battle with the opposite side, and I would like to introduce you to a fierce general to help you break through the capital!"

"This person, named Xiang Yu, has the same name as the ancient overlord, and also has the courage of the overlord, let him help you, you will be able to conquer Beijing smoothly!"

Zhu Changxun listened to Yunyue's words, and immediately said with great joy:

"There is Lao Xiangu, you are really the timely rain of this king!"

"I'm distressed now, I don't have a fierce general to lead the troops to attack the city, I don't want the fairy girl to come, so I can solve this problem!"

Yunyue listened to Zhu Changxun's grateful words, immediately smiled slightly, and saluted Zhu Changxun and said:

"I don't know Your Majesty, how sure you are about this siege?"

Zhu Changxun listened to Yunyue's inquiry, and when he opened his mouth, he said:

"With the addition of General Xiang Yu, this king has full confidence in this siege, in fact, this king is in the city, and there is an inner line!"

Yun Yue heard that Zhu Changxun was so confident, and immediately smiled brightly:

"Then I wish the prince a victory!"

Zhu Changxun, looking at Yunyue's smiling appearance, his heart was hot, this Zhu Changxun was originally a hungry ghost in the color, and he had already coveted Yunyue's beauty for a long time.

However, Zhu Changxun knows better which is more important, Jiangshan or beauty, so he has been restrained very well, but now, according to his assumption, he is basically in sight of victory, so he has a non-dividing thought.

He thought, When he reigns in the world, he must include Yunyue, a beautiful girl, in the harem, but how did Zhu Changxun know that Yunyue is a person with mind reading skills, and his thoughts cannot be concealed at all in front of Yunyue.

Although Yunyue saw through Zhu Changxun's dirty thoughts, she did not pierce Zhu Changxun, but snorted coldly in her heart, her face was as usual, and she bowed to Zhu Changxun and retreated.

The reason why Yunyue didn't go wild this time is very simple, that is, the big war is imminent, and she is unwilling to have a stalemate with Zhu Changxun and affect the battle situation.

With the addition of Xiang Yu, Zhu Changxun's army came to besiege the capital again, and at this moment Zhu Hao heard Zhu Changxun and the army pressed the border again, and immediately knew that the decisive battle was coming.

Zhu Hao immediately went to the city wall to supervise the battle, and after Zhu Hao walked on the city wall, he looked at Zhu Changxun's Chinese army and shouted:

"Uncle Fuwang Huang, you and I are originally from the same sect, the former emperor and the current saint are not thin on you, how can you listen to the villain's provocation and do such a thing that the relatives and enemies are happy!"

"The little nephew advises you, or stop the precipice in time, and enter the palace with me to ask Your Majesty for your guilt, Your Majesty has always been generous, and you will definitely not blame the imperial uncle!"

Zhu Changxun listened to Zhu Hao's words, snorted coldly, and said angrily:

"Zhu Youzhen'er, you don't want to be in front of me, rap, I am the heir designated by Emperor Wanli, it is your father and son who conspired to steal the throne, I am just here to take back what belongs to me!"

"Besides, I still have the revenge of killing my mother, to be calculated with you, waiting for me to attack the city, I will definitely break your body into thousands of pieces to avenge my mother's concubine!"

The reason why Zhu Changxun said this refers to the fact that Zhu Hao was in the palace and united with Empress Guo to force Concubine Zheng to death, but this Concubine Zheng died at the hands of Empress Guo, and Queen Guo also took her own life for this.

At this moment, Zhu Changxun calculated this account on Zhu Hao's head, which really made Zhu Hao feel a little wronged, but if from another point of view, if there is no Zhu Hao's appearance, maybe Concubine Zheng's opportunity will be successful, then he will not die.

Although it is recorded in the history books that Concubine Zheng did not succeed in putting King Fu on the throne, she did not leave the world so early, all of which are inseparable from Zhu Hao's crossing, so Zhu Changxun counted this comparison on his head, and he was not wronged.

In the face of Zhu Changxun's accusation, Zhu Hao didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, and immediately stopped talking, but in Zhu Changxun's eyes, it was the fact that Zhu Hao acquiesced and killed his mother.

The revenge of killing his mother is not shared, which makes Zhu Changxun very angry, even if he gives the order to attack, he can't wait to skin Zhu Hao alive and die now, and avenge his mother's concubine.

With King Fu's order, Xiang Yu took the lead and rushed towards the gate of the capital, because Xiang Yu was tall, Zhu Hao saw Xiang Yu at a glance and couldn't help but be angry.

What made Zhu Hao angry was not that Xiang Yu appeared on the battlefield, but because Xiang Yu was rescued by Yunyue last time, and at this moment Xiang Yu appeared in Zhu Changxun's camp, which can only explain one problem, that is, Zhu Changxun's rebellion this time was driven by Yunyue.

Zhu Hao hated this nun who had been making trouble for him, and he wanted to kill Yunyue if he wanted to, but Yunyue had always been hiding behind his back, causing trouble for him, and at the same time he was haunted, making it difficult for him to find his traces.

Daming Jinyi Wei claims to be all over the world, but after searching Yunyue for so long, he has not found any trace of Yunyue.

When Zhu Hao saw Xiang Yu's appearance, he was angry, but he didn't mess up, he still advanced and retreated in an orderly manner, commanding the defenders on the city wall, and defending against King Fu's attack.

Because it was the beginning of the decisive battle, the attacking and defending sides, this contact, the battle entered a white hot talk, because Zhu Hao commanded properly, Zhu Changxun's men and horses, attacked for a whole day, did not get the slightest progress, but left tens of thousands of corpses outside the capital.

Although Zhu Hao's defense was successful, but this battle also made him suffer heavy losses, nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses in the city, also lost more than 10,000, this is still their defense of the city, if it is a field formation, I am afraid that the defenders in Zhu Hao's city, the loss will be even greater.

In the face of such huge casualties, Zhu Hao couldn't help but sigh secretly, the defenders of the capital lacked actual combat on weekdays, if it was his Liaodong Army, to defend the city, the casualties would definitely be much smaller.

Thinking of this, Zhu Hao couldn't help but secretly say in his heart:

"This Qin Qiong, I don't know what the hell he is doing, why hasn't he dared to come with the Liaodong Army for so long, if he doesn't come again, this capital, this king relies on these capital defenders, I'm afraid he really can't hold it!"

When Zhu Hao was thinking about Qin Qiong, Qin Qiong had actually taken 100,000 soldiers and horses from Liaodong to support the capital a long time ago, but he didn't want to, the rest of Huang Taiji, who had not been seen for a long time, was constantly harassing the army, which affected Qin Qiong's marching speed.

Qin Qiong originally planned to wipe out the rest of Huang Taiji directly, and then rush to the aid of the capital, but when Qin Qiong broke the formation, Huang Taiji's department fled again without a trace.

When Qin Qiong began to march again and went to the capital, Huang Taiji's department came out to harass him again, which made Qin Qiong seem to be a giant, in the face of the flies that had been harassing him, although he was very annoyed, but he was helpless.

Therefore, Qin Qiong could only stop and go like this, and the speed of the march along the way was very slow.

In fact, where did Qin Qiong know that this Huang Taiji was also from later generations, and Huang Taiji knew very well about the sixteen-character policy of guerrilla warfare.

This kind of tactic invented by the great men of later generations, not to mention that Qin Qiong, an ancient general, was helpless, and even the reactionaries with millions of modern troops in later generations were helpless.

In this way, Qin Qiong set off all the way from Guangning and crossed the Shanhai Pass, which completely got rid of the harassment of Huang Taiji, and at this moment, he had been from Guangning for more than half a month.

After getting rid of Huang Taiji, Qin Qiong, who knew that he had delayed a major event, immediately ordered Guan Yu to be the vanguard, lead 30,000 light cavalry, day and night, and rush to the aid of the capital.

After Guan Yu received the order, he traveled five hundred times a day, two hundred at night, and three days later, he arrived at Tong County near the capital, and after several days of rapid marching, the whole army was exhausted, Guan Yu ordered to repair the night in Tong County, and then galloped to the aid of the capital.

On the night when Guan Yu arrived in Tong County, a major event occurred in the capital, and Chen Yuanyuan, the wife of Zhou Yu, the commander of the water division, came to the city with a food box.

Tell the soldier guarding the city her identity, when the soldier heard that the person who came turned out to be the wife of the admiral of the navy and the sister-in-law of the prince, he immediately did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly reported to Zhu Hao.

Just after Zhu Hao received the news, he wondered what Chen Yuanyuan was doing at the city gate so late, the gate of the capital was wide open, and the rebels who had been in ambush under the city for a long time took the opportunity to kill into the city.

It turned out that Chen Yuanyuan came to visit Zhu Hao was fake, and it was true that he was ordered by King Fu to secretly open the city gate, and she and Liu Ru were originally spies placed by King Fu next to Zhu Hao, but Liu Ru was, because Zhu Hao was very good to her, became very shaken, and Chen Yuanyuan has always been dead set on King Fu.

Zhu Hao listened to the monstrous shouts and killing, and knew in his heart that this matter might have something to do with Chen Yuanyuan, but he didn't have time to investigate Chen Yuanyuan's problem, and immediately organized soldiers and horses to go to the city gate to resist.

The soldiers and horses in the capital are less than training, and even more, Xiang Yu is extremely brave, even if Xu Chu Dian Wei and the two work together, they can only be able to draw with him, and the rest of Zhu Changxun's generals are obviously much stronger than these wine bags and rice bags in the capital, plus Zhu Changxun's soldiers and horses, they are already more than Zhu Hao.

This big battle that took place at the city gate, from the beginning of the battle, was one-sided, and Zhu Hao's troops were defeated one after another.

The capital is only a few dozen miles away from Tongxian, and the monstrous shouting and killing sound in the capital has already filled the sky, which directly alarmed Guan Yu.

Seeing this situation, Guan Yu knew that there was a big battle in the direction of the capital, and he couldn't take care of it, so he asked the soldiers to repair it, and immediately ordered the whole army to rush to the aid of the capital.

Dian Wei and Xu Chu were entangled by Xiang Yu, Zhu Hao was gone, there was no strong guard, among the rebels, I don't know who it was, and Zhu Hao's identity was revealed in one word, which made these rebels who were eager to make meritorious contributions all surround Zhu Hao.

Because of Zhu Hao's identity, he attracted a lot of rebels, which reduced the pressure on the rest of the places, and they were still retreating just now, but they were already able to stabilize their positions at this moment and fight on a par with the rebels.

However, Zhu Hao's situation is becoming more and more dangerous, facing the tide of rebels, as well as the soldiers around him, who are constantly falling, Zhu Hao knows that no one can count on it now, so he can only rely on himself.

Thinking like this, Zhu Hao immediately pulled out the sword in his hand and slashed hard, the rebels around him, but Zhu Hao was nothing, a person with strong martial arts, and after a fight, he was injured in many places.
