Chapter II. 328.The Final Battle (4)

The knife that Shen Gui suffered a 'sneak attack' on his back was not only as simple as a skin injury, but also a key point in his back - the wind gate, which was broken by the sharp blade! As soon as this wind gate acupoint was broken, the power of the hard work accumulated before suddenly disappeared into invisibility. At this moment, Shen Gui, let alone breaking free from the 'iron fishing net' covering his body, couldn't even pull out the strength to move his fingers.

As soon as the thin young general saw that the 'prey' in the fishing net was no longer able to resist, he immediately shouted out that the Flying Tiger Army who wanted to rush up to 'pick up the leak', and he slowly climbed down from the roof and went to untie the 'prey' in person......

At the same time, the east gate of Fengjing City, with the sound of a 'galala' city gate hinge, slowly opened the arms of the northern capital to the high-spirited second prince Yan Qinghong......

"Yan Er, smell it, this smell is wrong! We can't afford to rub it any further...... I think it's better to go our separate ways. In this way, you take General Hong and Zhongshan Governor to hurry to Nanmen Street to save people; I'll go to the back streets of Hezhong and the Prime Minister's Mansion first to find out the situation......"

As soon as the tall and solid east gate opened, Fu Yi behind Yan Qinghong snorted, and then his face changed suddenly, and he whispered a few words to Yan Qinghong, and then he didn't have time to say it in detail, so he whipped the whip and slapped it on the horse's buttocks, and rode alone and rode into the city......

And Yan Qinghong, the second prince wearing gold armor and a sword hanging from his waist, turned sideways after watching Fu Yi's figure disappear, and whispered to the old general Hong Nian beside him:

"General Hong, please mobilize four teams of powerful people to 'take over' the defense of the other three gates of Fengjing, and the remaining team of men and horses, be sure to select some sergeants who can take charge of the boat and have good water skills, and let them be stationed at the Youhe Wharf and temporarily take charge of blocking the Youhe waterway. In addition, tell the soldiers that every time they 'take' a gate, they will immediately seal it completely. Until everything is over, including me, Yan Qinghong, I must not let go of half of my life to leave this Fengjing City......"

Hong Nian nodded, turned over and dismounted, waved his hand to summon the four young generals, bowed his head and ordered......

It was not long before four carefully selected cavalry teams rushed out, and under the leadership of the chief general, they marched towards their destination without saying a word; And Yan Qinghong, who was sitting on the war horse, also took a deep breath of the foul air filled with the smell of blood at this time, took off the golden helmet hanging on the horse's neck, rearranged the armor with a solemn expression, and took out the 'Son of Heaven Sword' from his waist out of nowhere, and spoke loudly at the mouth of the city gate like an abyss:

"East of Huayu, far north of Shenzhou; The land of ice, the destiny of heaven; The first emperor Xuande, benevolence and diligence; self-denial and hard work; How sad it is to die of exhaustion...... Today, there is the second son of Emperor Xuande - Yan's Qinghong, who was given the edict of his father's deathbed, the sword given by his father, and inherited the throne of Emperor Youbei! I will respect my father's will and reform the old and make the new; Governing Outline, Founding Charter; close to the loyal and virtuous, punish and eliminate the traitor; It's the first year of 'Xingping' next year, and the people are more at the beginning! ”

In fact, Yan Qinghong's original voice didn't sound very strong, and it didn't have anything to do with majesty; But at this time, facing the dark entrance of the city gate in front of him, facing the foul smell of blood, and facing the empty street in front of the East Gate, he actually read out the 'enthronement edict' with quite formal wording as if he was holding his own enthronement ceremony!

Although there was not half of the audience in front of him, the cavalry of the Zhongshan Governor's Army who followed him jumped off their horses one after another, knelt on the ground neatly, and spoke loudly:

"See Your Majesty!"

Yan Qinghong, the new emperor who 'crowned' himself, did not turn around after hearing the support and recognition expressed by the soldiers, he was still staring at the empty street, and he was still staring at the Dongcheng Gate Cave that was like an abyss entrance...... If someone walked around in front of him, they would definitely be surprised to see that the second prince's mouth actually hooked a wry smile!

After being silent for a long time, Yan Qinghong waved his right arm back, and whispered without joy or sorrow:

"Get up......

It's not that he Yan Qinghong 'has to sell well if he gets cheap', but that he really doesn't want to face his brother's cannibalism.

And his deliberate 'contrived' was not actually his own intention. It's all because of his second son, according to the Yan family's family rules, he actually doesn't have any inheritance rights. And at this moment, he is about to take General Hong and his Zhongshan Governor Army to fight against His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who can rightfully succeed to the throne! To put it bluntly, at this moment, I and these loyal soldiers have become traitors who have committed rebellion. And as their leader, of course, on the eve of the final battle, he must give them a justifiable 'identity':

The Zhongshan Governor is not a rebel army that commits rebellion; It's an elite king master who has the skill of the dragon!

Don't underestimate the problem of this title! Most of the soldiers of the Zhongshan Governor were from poor families, so they were naturally devout followers of shamanism; In the minds of these people, there is a world of difference between justice and evil! It can even be said that the courage and strength, courage and motivation of these people, in addition to supporting their families and getting promoted to become rich, all come from the firm belief in their hearts: We are a righteous army that protects the family and defends the country, and we do righteous things!

This kind of belief can drive them to move forward and fight bravely; It can also make them willing to obey the orders of their superiors and cut off the heads of any 'enemy'.

"II...... Returning to Your Majesty, this smell is full of blood, and the general thinks that the battle situation ahead may not be optimistic...... I don't know how we should ......? ”

Speaking of this, Hong Nian stopped talking. In fact, deep down in his heart, he also very much agrees with Yan Qinghong's approach; After all, it is better to listen to the division of the king than the rebellious ministers and thieves. At this time, he also changed his words in time and asked Yan Qinghong for advice on what to do next.

"Old General Hong, you see, the streets in this Fengjing City are narrow, and it is really inconvenient for cavalry to pass through...... According to my will, please name fifty people who are skilled in riding and brave in battle, and gallop with us to help Nanmen Street; All the remaining cavalry immediately dismounted, dispersed to the edge of each city wall in small groups, and then slowly advanced to the South Gate Street to encircle...... Tell the soldiers that if they meet anyone on the way who dares to 'help and abuse', and who is obsessed with it, and disobeys the 'king', they can be killed on the spot......"

"The last general commanded...... But...... Returning to Your Majesty, most of the soldiers who 'returned to Beijing' with Your Majesty this time only know how to fight and fight, and are not good at observing words and feelings; If you do this, you can easily kill the good people by mistake......"

After Hong Nian heard Yan Qinghong's bloody imperial order, he was immediately a little worried: Could it be that he had just brought down a 'tyrant' and helped a new tyrant with his backhand?

"Just let it go, and you won't kill the good people by mistake! General Hong, just imagine, based on the current smell in the city, there must have been a sea of corpses and blood on the South Gate Street...... So what will happen to these people who know that the city is in a situation of war and fighting, and who do not obediently hide at home to avoid trouble, and dare to wander around in the city? …… You don't have to think about it, I can almost conclude that no matter where they came from, killing them with a knife is certainly not wronged! ”

After hearing this, Hong Nian felt reasonable, nodded and said no more. Then he made a few gestures behind him, and fifty elite cavalrymen dressed in the captain's leather armor stepped out, followed the two of them, and galloped with them towards the South Gate Street......

"Smack...... Smack......"

At this time, the thin general of the Taibai Praetorian Guard had already untied the 'iron fishing net' wrapped around Shen Gui's body, pulled up Shen Gui, who was covered in blood and couldn't see his face clearly, and rewarded him with two slaps when he started work left and right; He slapped the two slaps on his face, but he couldn't even fan out a trace of emotion......

"Look, boss, something is wrong! He didn't have to run his last breath, did he? ”

As soon as he was reminded by the people around him, the thin general hurriedly rubbed Shen Gui's bloody neck with his hand, lowered his head and examined it carefully, but found no fatal injuries; Then, he poked out a finger and put it under Shen Gui's nostrils, and after a long time of testing, he breathed a sigh of relief:

"This kid's life is quite hard, he didn't die! However, the breath is very weak, and I am afraid that there will not be a few breaths left...... Let's hurry up and take him into the palace to make a difference, and watch his breaths carefully along the way; If he manages to survive and doesn't lose his breath before he reaches the face saint, then you can help him again......"

After finishing the instructions, the thin general suddenly let out an exclamation, and then turned back to look at his twenty brothers, frowned and asked:

"Strange thing...... Do you hear the sound of horses' hooves? ”

As soon as the question came out, everyone listened with bated breath; It didn't take long for everyone to nod their heads in agreement. And after the general knew that it was not his 'auditory hallucination', he muttered to himself:

"Strange things, strange things...... Whether it is the Flying Tiger Army or the Taibai Guard, there is no cavalry establishment now...... Could it be that Yan Dashuai of the Flying Bear Army led the army back to Beijing? ”

Soon, the thin Taibai Guard general got an answer that he couldn't understand. A feathered arrow suddenly appeared out of thin air, piercing through his ears, and flew a cloud of muddy blood arrows; Immediately afterward, a man and a horse jumped high over the crowd, so fast that everyone didn't even see his face clearly, and the battered young general was beheaded by a snow-bright thick-backed broadsword!

The murderer was a spirited old general, his face was full of frost, his left hand was holding a bun high, and he raised the head of the man who was still rolling his eyes, his eyes were like knives, and his sharp gaze swept over everyone present......

Seeing this, those Flying Tiger Army and Taibai Wei wanted to rush up and split him into corpses, but after taking a closer look, they were all a little stunned: this person was also wearing a Youbei military uniform...... In other words, this old man is likely to be 'his own person'? ……

"Old General, you killed the wrong ...... The one on the ground is the thief who committed the rebellion, Shen Gui......"

A young but rather clever Taibai Wei approached Hong Nianma and said to General Hong with a flattering expression......

"Phew"

After General Hong nodded in satisfaction, he casually picked up another knife and slashed it head, splitting this 'little clever ghost' in half in an instant......
