Chapter 116: The Decisive Battle (Part II)



The next day, in Anqing City, a series of holy decrees reached the front of the major general soldiers, the soldiers and horses were mobilized, all the military horses were concentrated, facing the west of Anqing City, 30,000 Yinglong troops stood neatly in the front, and more than 200,000 troops spread all over any road in Anqing City, except for those Anqing people who were closed, Anqing City became a super barracks.

"Mr. Huang, what is the emperor's move?" A general soldier from Jianghuai asked Huang Degong.

"I don't know! The emperor didn't tell me! Huang Degong shook his head, he had been recuperating from his injuries these days, and he suddenly received a holy decree from the emperor asking him to gather his army and be ready to listen to orders!

"The emperor has arrived!" Zhu Cihong rode a snow-white tall horse without a trace of variegated color today. 、

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" More than 200,000 people shouted like an earthquake, and the tens of thousands of defenders on the city wall and the Zuo Liangyu soldiers who were attacking the city outside the city were all shaken, and they stopped moving for a moment.

Outside the city, Zuo Liangyu's army camp, Zuo Liangyu clearly heard the shouts in the city, and instantly frowned tightly, and there was a faint feeling that it was not good, which was extremely ridiculous.

In Anqing City, Zhu Cihong faced these soldiers with a calm expression, and said with a full of anger: "Everyone! ”

"Long live thanks!" All the soldiers stood up at the same time, and with a bang, there was an indescribable momentum, which made people's blood boil, and many soldiers were so high in morale that their faces were flushed with excitement.

"Soldiers, since the fall of the capital of the Ming Dynasty, I have missed half of the country, and rebelled against Li Zicheng and called the people to ask for their lives, but in fact it is just hypocrisy, fooling the people, before Ningwuguan slaughtered the city, and then Shanxi, Shaanxi, Henan, Hebei and other places were ravaged. And then this fang let the Qing captives enter the customs, and now the Qing captives have occupied Shanxi, Hebei and other places, and the purpose of these alien races is very clear, that is, to enslave all our Han people, enjoy our wealth, and occupy our women. At this moment, there is Zuo Liangyu rebel thief, as my Ming commander-in-chief, I don't want to protect my Ming people, but he rebelled and rebelled, resulting in the tragic death of nearly one million people in Wuchang, Jiujiang and other places, and millions of people starved and captured all over the wilderness. But this is also because of my incompetence in the Ming Dynasty, there will be this shame, I hereby swear, one day I will drive out the Qing captives, exterminate the rebellion, re-establish a prosperous era, the Ming Dynasty, and return the people to a bright future. Before that, I will first destroy Zuo Liangyu, a traitor, and avenge the people of Wuchang and Jiujiang! I ask you, would you like to help me! ”

"Willing, willing, destroy Zuo Liangyu, drive out the Tartars, and rejuvenate the Ming Dynasty!" All the soldiers of the Ying Long Army were the first to roar, and instantly led all the soldiers to roar together, and the momentum of all the soldiers reached the highest point.

The roar of more than 200,000 soldiers was shocking, shocking all the people in Anqing who were closed, and even more shocked the hundreds of thousands of Zuo Liangyu's army outside the city.

"Drive out the Tartars, Zhongxing Daming ------" some strong men muttered, remembering that their happy family was ruined because of the war, because of Zuo Liangyu, the family was ruined, they were a little at a loss, what are they here for, in order to help the enemies who let their families ruin and make rebellion?

"What for! Rebellion! All sit down for Lao Tzu! A group of chiefs in armor, Bai Zong and other grassroots generals of the Zhuang Ding Army held leather whips, and kept whipping these strong men who stood up and looked at Anqing.

On the high platform, Zuo Liangyutie blushed and stared at Anqing.

"Hehe, you want to kill my Zuo Liangyu?" Zuo Liangyu smiled, his voice was a little sad and a little panicked, but more than that, he was unwilling, his Zuo Liangyu's big dream had not yet been realized, he still had hundreds of thousands of troops in hand, no one could stop him, Nanjing was his, and the world was his!

Zuo Liangyu's face showed a strange flush, but strangely, his old injuries did not occur because of this, as if all his old illnesses had been healed in an instant, this scene made Zuo Mengeng very uneasy.

"Father!" Zuo Mengeng screamed worriedly, but Zuo Liangyu didn't pay attention to him.

Not far away, Gao Jie's scalp was a little numb, he had already regretted why he was tempted by Zuo Liangyu and rebelled with Zuo Liangyu, he thought that the imperial court was incompetent and the fortunes of the Ming Dynasty were exhausted, but now it seems that it is not like that, Gao Jie regrets it very much.

Gao Jie glanced left and right, retreated quietly, and quietly returned to his camp, now he still has thirteen thousand men and horses, once something really goes wrong, he must not sit still.

In Anqing City, Zhu Cihong turned his horse's head, looked at a section of the city wall more than 100 meters away, waved at Ji Feng and Zhou Caoyi, and signaled them to act according to the plan.

Ji Feng and Zhou Cao nodded, and ordered a team of Yinglong soldiers to carry boxes of things that they didn't know what they were carrying to a section of the city wall, and pile the boxes one by one at the foot of the city wall, there were hundreds of large boxes.

"Your Majesty, what is this going to do?" Huang Degong and the other ten general soldiers and the governor of Anqing all frowned, and they really couldn't understand the emperor's thoughts.

When the Ying Long army was ready, Zhu Cihong ordered all the soldiers on the section of the city wall that were piled with hundreds of boxes to be withdrawn, and the soldiers on that section of the city wall did not know why, although they did not know that the emperor was going to give up this section of the city wall to the rebels, but the holy decree had been issued, and everyone on this section of the city wall quickly withdrew.

"The emperor doesn't want to ----" Huang Degong's eyes widened instantly, he vaguely guessed something, and gasped.

"The emperor can't ---" Although it has not yet been determined, Huang Degong immediately spoke out to stop him.

Zhu Cihong smiled slightly, raised his hand and signaled, and a soldier of the Ying Long Army quickly opened a box, and then quickly retreated.

"Ahh The eyes of the other commanders also widened instantly, could it be that the emperor wanted to blow up this section of the city wall and lead the army out to fight Zuo Liangyu! How does this make Zuo Liangyu have hundreds of thousands of troops, more than twice as many as the emperor's army, so if he goes out for a decisive battle, wouldn't he be sent to death!

"The emperor can't be ---" Huang Degong and the others shouted in fear, but at this moment Ji Feng was already holding a strong bow, bending the bow and setting the arrow, and the arrow part of the arrow was wrapped in a ball of cloth with fire oil, and a soldier of the Yinglong Army lit it with a flint.

"Whew!"

The arrow slashed through the air with a ball of flames, and shot towards a distance of more than 100 meters, accurately hitting the open box full of gunpowder.

"Boom!" The gunpowder in the crate ignited instantly, detonating the explosives in the other crates.

"Boom -----" was an even louder earth-shattering bang, and the earth trembled like an earthquake.

"It's over!" Under the expressions of Huang Degong and the others, a gap tens of meters wide was blown open in that section of the city wall.

"Ying Longjun attacked!" Zhu Cihong ignored the horror of Huang Degong and the others behind him, pulled out the sword of the Son of Heaven with a bang, pointed forward, and more than 30,000 Ying Long troops rushed out of the gap that had just been blown up like a tide, mighty and unstoppable!
