Chapter 127 [Chasing the North]
Zhu Youlan thought for a moment and said, "That, can my niece take a look at Uncle Fuwang's honor guard?" ”
I saw Prince Fu laugh and said, "Hehehe! What a niece! As soon as you open your mouth, you want to see the Lonely King's Honor Guard? Okay, Zuo Changshi quickly passed on the words of the lonely king and asked the Zhengyi guard to lead the troops to the mansion. ”
So the head of the Mingfu Palace, Shi Si, left the long history: Gan Mingzheng, he was ordered to hurriedly retreat and pass the word, Wu Junzhen thought to himself; Now I can finally see how the combat effectiveness of the Fuwang Mansion Honor and Guard Division has been in the past six months?
Zhou Rongyu, who was directing the training of the Honor Guard Division of the Fu Wangfu Mansion on the grass on the outskirts of the city, said loudly, "Cheer up the general, train hard!" Fortunately, in order to be able to kill the enemy in the future, he will repay the country for a war achievement. As soon as the words fell, the three of the honor guards of the Fu Wangfu Mansion ran sideways in a line, and after circling the grass twice, some of the soldiers seemed out of breath! For this reason, the official guard of the Mingfu Wangfu Mansion was very angry, but there was no way, they were all pampered soldiers, so they had to order to practice stabbing and wielding knives.
He divided the Honor Guard Division into two teams, one responsible for practicing stabbing and the other responsible for practicing slashing, but these two honor guards were not very satisfactory, and they looked like stragglers, and only a few soldiers could barely see the tricks.
At this time, the head of the Mingfu Palace, Shi Si, and Zuo Changshi, slowly walked over and said, "Lord Zhengyiwei is polite, His Royal Highness Prince Fu ordered me to give you an order to quickly lead the troops back to the Prince's Mansion." The official guard of the Mingfu Palace, asked, "Is it that His Royal Highness Prince Fu wants to see how the guard is training?" ”
As soon as the words fell, you saw movement in the grass? The frightened soldiers of the honor guard of the Fuwang Mansion drew their swords one after another, and approached the grass in fear.
Just as he was about to swing his sword into the grass and slash into the grass, he saw several soldiers wearing hats and helmets stretching out their hands and saying, "Don't, don't, don't!" We are the Ming army escorting the two feudal princes to escape, please take us in! Hearing that it was the guard of the prince of the vassal king, the guard of the Mingfu Palace, he hurriedly walked over and asked, "Dare to ask where your Royal Highness is the prince?" ”
The soldiers pointed to the two men in red clothes who were helped out of the cornfield by the soldiers behind them, and explained, "This is His Royal Highness Prince Chongyin, and the other is His Royal Highness Prince Zhou Xiao. Seeing that the two royal highnesses of the prince were helped out of embarrassment and sat on the ground panting, Shi Si, the head of the Mingfu Palace, guessed that Liukou must be in the vicinity?
He opened his mouth and asked, "Dare to ask the two royal highnesses, have you been pursued here by the rogue?" ”
Zhu Ciyao, the prince of Ming Chongyin, who was sitting on the ground, nodded and replied, "The leading rogue general is Liu Fangliang, and he is sweeping around with a large team of men!" I guess it's going to be here soon? Knowing that the situation was more serious, the guards of the Mingfu Wangfu led the soldiers to gather and prepare to rush back to the Fuwang Mansion to escort them, but they didn't know that there were already rogue soldiers secretly following them in the cornfield behind them, about 5,000 people, who were slowly picking up the corn and walking towards this side.
The rogue soldiers in front saw that there were Ming troops wearing cloth armor and pointed hats and helmets preparing to evacuate? He stretched out the one-eyed gun, the double-eyed gun, the winged tiger gun, the eagle gun, etc., and aimed at the front of the Ming army to open the gun (bang, bang, bang, bang) with a lead bullet, which caught the Fuwangfu Honor Guards off guard!
The frightened Prince Chongyin of Ming and Prince Xiao of Ming Zhou: Zhu Shaoxuan, the two fled quickly, leaving only the honor guards of the Fu Wangfu Mansion here, they knew that they could not escape and turned around to fight with the rogues, the Ming Fu Wangfu Zheng Guard ordered the fire gunners to shoot in formation, the spearmen and the knife players were responsible for the charge, and the rogue soldiers also took the waist knives to kill the two sides together.
Seeing the urgency of the situation, the head of the Mingfu Palace, Shi Si, and the left chief Shi escaped under the pretense of going back to report the news, so that the official guard of the Mingfu Wangfu Mansion could only fight to the death with the enemy in the name of serving the country, and was unfortunately shot and killed when he killed four rogue soldiers!
On the other side, in the territory of Prince Fu's Mansion, Wu Junzhen also seems to feel a little tired? His eyelids kept throbbing, always feeling like something was going to happen? Zhu Youlan, who was sitting next to him, also saw that he was restless? He asked, "Brother, what's wrong with you?" Wu Junzhen controlled his emotions and replied, "Your Royal Highness the County Lord, I'm sorry, the general is a little uncomfortable, and I will leave first!" After speaking, he stood up and saluted Prince Mingfu and said goodbye.
Wu Junzhen, who walked out of the lobby, looked at the sky, and wanted to go to the backyard to practice his sword skills for a long time, so he strode in the direction of the pavilion, turned a corner, and saw an injured soldier running over in embarrassment, hitting Wu Junzhen's body, and his head was still bleeding.
Wu Junzhen helped him up and asked, "What's going on?" Panicked? The soldier hurriedly said, "Quick, quick, call His Royal Highness Prince Fu...?" Before he finished speaking, the soldier fell to the ground and died, and Wu Junzhen immediately turned around and ran into the lobby.
Wu Junzhen, who hurriedly ran to the lobby, saluted and said, "His Royal Highness Prince Fu, please evacuate this place quickly, there are already a large number of rogue killers outside the mansion." ”
His Royal Highness Prince Mingfu was shocked when he heard this, he put down his wine glass and got up and asked, "Is this true?" So weren't all the guards of the Lonely King's Fu Wang's Mansion all killed in battle? ”
Suddenly, the people heard the sound of artillery attacking the city? The dancing warriors immediately fled in a mess, and the people in the mansion also fled for their lives, Wu Junzhen motioned with his eyes to Captain Jinyi Wei and Ma Wei and others to escort His Royal Highness Prince Fu away, and then let Yao Qiuyue help Zhu Youlan to evacuate here.
Since there were many rogue soldiers gathered at the gate of Prince Fu's Mansion, and they all came for the gold and silver of Prince Fu's Mansion, Wu Junzhen proposed, "For now, the only way to escape is to climb over the wall in the backyard!" ”
I saw the leading captain of the Dashun chariot: Song Changji, walking in front with a trident in his hand, stabbing the guards in the palace all the way to the lobby, most of the guards died in battle, and a few surrendered, and the servants were either killed or insulted on the spot! The rogues almost grab what is in their baggage when they see people.
Prince Mingfu came to the backyard safely under the protection of Wu Junzhen, and under the cover of flowers and plants, the captains of the Jinyi Guard lowered their bodies to step on Prince Mingfu, and Prince Mingfu, who climbed over the courtyard wall and fell to the ground, shouted, "Oops! It's a lonely king! ”
Then everyone also climbed over the wall one after another, and Wu Junzhen also asked Yao Qiuyue, who knew how to do light work, to jump over with Zhu Youlan, but she seemed reluctant? Seeing this, Liu Ruilin pulled Zhu Youlan and Wu Junzhen to jump up and climb over the wall.
Yao Qiuyue, who jumped down at the end, looked at Wu Junzhen and Zhu Youlan who were walking in front, and seemed to be very unpleasant, she stepped forward angrily and said, "Keep your distance!" He is His Royal Highness the county lord. As soon as Ma Wei heard this, he felt that there was a situation? Thought; Could it be that Qiuyue is interested in Brother Wu? But he didn't dare to think about it, because he thought that Wu Junzhen would be enough to have His Royal Highness the County Lord Zhu Youlan, as for Yao Qiuyue? It's his!
At the same time, the general of the Dashun Zuo Battalion also rushed to the front of Prince Fu's mansion, which was already in chaos, and it was impossible to see that it was a luxurious palace at all! The soldiers of the Shun army are fighting for the spoils of war, some are holding gold, silver and jewelry, some are holding maids and women, some are carrying rice and grain and laughing, and some of the Shun soldiers are still slaughtering for the pleasure of killing, which makes the general of the Dashun Zuo battalion look a little helpless, he is ashamed of the behavior of the soldiers, and the captain of the Dashun chariot asks "Have you seen Prince Fu: Zhu Yousong, the corpse?" The lieutenant replied, "I haven't seen this before!" ”
When the general of the Dashun Zuo Battalion heard this, he felt that something was wrong, and he guessed that he must have fled north to Weihui Mansion? He didn't want to miss the opportunity, so he ordered the soldiers of the Shun army to put down all the irrelevant loot they had captured, and to pursue the Ming army with all their might, and to capture Zhu Yousong.
In order to prevent the Ming army from fleeing south and accurately find out the direction of Prince Fu's escape? The general of the Dashun Left Battalion decided to immediately send troops to blockade the area around Wuzhi County to prevent the Ming army from fleeing south.
At this moment, Prince Mingfu, who had escaped, was discussing with everyone where to go on the way. Yao Qiuyue proposed: "Why don't we go to Dengfeng County, Henan Province?" When Liu Ruilin heard this, he hurriedly asked, "Miss Yao, what do you mean by this?" ”
It was as if something had suddenly occurred to Mavi? He said: "Do you want His Royal Highness Prince Fu to take refuge in Songshan Shaolin Temple?" I saw Yao Qiuyue lower her head and said shyly, "What's the matter?" Songshan Shaolin Temple used to be the place where the master taught me martial arts, and the scenery there is beautiful. ”
However, Prince Mingfu was a little embarrassed, he patted the regular clothes on his body and said, "No, no! The lonely king is also a vassal king, how can he take refuge in Shaolin Temple! At present, if you go south, you will have to walk a lot through Wuzhi County, so that you can cross the Yellow River by boat and reach Henan Mansion in the south. "Ma Wei thinks it's wonderful! After all, there is still Prince Minglu Min in Weihui Mansion: Zhu Changshu, the garrison of the Honor and Guard Division of King Lu's Mansion, and he can take a temporary rest when he goes to Weihui Mansion, and secondly, he is relatively close, and he can discuss the way in the future, so everyone reached a consensus and decided to escort His Royal Highness Prince Mingfu to Weihui Mansion.
At this time, Wu Junzhen's ears moved, as if he heard something? He whispered to everyone, "Everyone, be careful! As soon as the words fell, the captain of the Jinyi Guard, Liu Ruilin, Ma Wei, Yao Qiuyue, and a few of the guards who escaped began to slowly pull out their sabers and look around, among which the guards also set up bows and arrows.
Wu Junzhen listened carefully to the direction of the sound, and then picked up a bow and arrow stand on the guard's waist and aimed the arrow at the woods where there was a sound (whoosh), stabbing a person and slowly falling, so frightened that the people in the woods hurriedly shouted, "Don't kill us!" Don't kill us! ”
Wu Junzhen, who felt that something was wrong, walked into the woods, and when he walked about fifty steps, he saw two kneeling people in regular clothes next to a big tree, and there were ten fleeing Ming soldiers beside him. Seeing this, Liu Ruilin on the opposite side thought that the people who had fled also walked over.
I saw Wu Junzhen help up the two kneeling people and asked, "Hurry up, what an offense just now!" Please forgive your sins! The soldier next to him saw that he didn't mean to harm himself? He said, "The two of them are His Royal Highness Prince Zheng Jing and His Royal Highness Prince Zhou Xiao, please let us go!" ”
I learned that the other party is His Royal Highness? Wu Junzhen's legs immediately weakened, and he hurriedly knelt down and pleaded, "I don't know if it's His Royal Highness the Prince of the World, just now he shot with an arrow, and he really deserved to die!" Liu Ruilin, who happened to be coming over, also saluted with him when he heard this, and said: "See the two Royal Highnesses of the Prince of the World, it is not appropriate to stay here for a long time, and please ask His Royal Highness the Prince to move to Weihui Mansion with me, right?" After hearing this, the two princes hurriedly nodded and set off with them.
At the same time, when the news of the fall of Yangqu County, the capital of Taiyuan Prefecture, reached Shunde Mansion in Beizhili, the secretary and supervisor of the Ming Military Department: Li Jiantai, Wen Xun was shocked, he was very afraid that the Liukou army would take the opportunity to chase and kill? He hurriedly ordered the soldiers to pack up their supplies and armaments and set off for the north, and the Ming Qin Tianjian who accompanied the army was correct: John Tang, just guess; Ay! This overseer is a complete failure!
