Chapter 679: All beings are equal in front of the cannonball
Baoding City.
"Go back, kill the enemy and receive the reward, and kill those who escape!"
King Shin shouted with a short gun.
On the roads on both sides of the Nanxun Gate in front of him, the fleeing regimental training was swarming down, and several gentry who tried to block it were rushed to the ground, and one of them was holding his head and screaming and falling from the side. In the chaos, a flowering bomb hit the tower, and the debris fell from the flames of the explosion, and the gentry below who fled in terror were smashed and wailed.
Even the group training that escaped from the city wall had already rushed to the door to open the door to welcome the surrender.
King Shin's shout made them all stop, and then looked at King Shin in amazement, saying that King Shin, who was wearing four dragon robes and had a scalp on his head, was still very eye-catching on such an occasion.
"Bold, you want to be a thief?"
Lu Shanji looked at the few group practitioners who tried to open the door and shouted.
The family next to him immediately raised his gun.
Those regiments turned their heads and looked at them hesitantly, but they were definitely not afraid, Lu Shanji was nothing more than dozens of family members around him, and he rushed down and drowned here, the key is the identity of King Xin, or the four regiments of dragon robes on his body still have a certain deterrent effect. But at this moment, a high-pitched cannonball whistled down from the sky, and then smashed into Lu Shanji not far away, and the black ball shell bounced up and hit the trunk of a large tree, and then bounced back and rolled on the ground with the smoke from the fuse......
"Get down, big king!"
Wang Chengen knocked King Xin down at once.
The next moment the shell exploded, and fragments flew from the fire and smoke.
Lu Shanji, who was the closest, immediately fell down screaming, and his family members were in chaos.
"Fire!"
A regimental practitioner inside the doorway shouted.
What are the four regiments of dragon robes afraid of, all beings are equal in front of the cannonballs.
The group drills on the horse road raised their guns one after another, a mess of bird guns, arquebuses, and even a few flintlock pistols, and at the same time spewed flames at the side of King Shin, and the bullets whistled and the family members of the Lu family fell one after another.
And King Xin was protected by Wang Chengen, lying on the ground screaming and watching this scene, as if the scene in history when he was about to leave the city, he was shot back by the soldiers defending the city in advance. But fortunately, Wang Chengen's reaction was smart enough, lying on the ground to protect him, and they were unscathed against a big tree on the side of the road, and then this round of shooting ended, and at the same time, the group training in the door hole also opened the city gate. His Royal Highness was lying there watching this scene angrily and desperately, looking at these rebels and thieves who had betrayed him, and even he could hear the sound of horses' hooves coming from outside the city.
"King, let's go!"
Wang Chengen picked him up and pulled him to rush to the side alley as fast as he could.
"Let me go, this king will fight to the death with these traitors......"
Shin Wang struggled and screamed.
But his body is still very honest.
The two quickly got into the alley, and just as they disappeared into the house, Li Zicheng rode his horse Wari horse, and also entered Baoding City in the cheers of the group practice, and also hugged his fists on horseback to the group practitioners on both sides.
He was in a good mood.
After all, it is said that there are at least two million taels of silver waiting for him in front of him.
This is the King of Jin in Shanxi, the King of Dai, the King of Lu in Henan, and the King of De in Shandong, in addition to the money deposited by the nine thousand years old in Suning's hometown, and the donations sent by Shanxi and Shandong, that is, Luo has always started too early, otherwise there will be more.
King Fu's donation has already set off for the north.
King Lu and King De are also on the way, it is said that Yan Shenggong also came out of a part, although Yan Shenggong and Zhennan Wang are good friends, but in the face of this kind of right and wrong is still very decisive, of course, the main thing is that the governor of Shandong personally came to persuade him, in order to show respect for Yan Shenggong, the governor of Shandong also brought five hundred cavalry!
In short, Luo has always made everyone very depressed, if he can start half a month late, at least he can double it again.
"General, this is the pseudo-university scholar Lu Shanji!"
The two group trainers dragged the injured Lu Shanji to Li Zicheng and said.
The latter only suffered shrapnel in the leg.
The power of the nine-pound flowering bomb is very small, after all, the black powder, at this time, the pig iron cannonball can cast a hollow ball is already very high-end, what charge coefficient and the like are not considered, the power of the twenty-pound mortar cannon is okay, but the nine-pound one is just a meaning, and there are more than a dozen shrapnel after the explosion. In fact, at this time, the main use of this level of flowering bullet is to scare people, especially the war horses that scare the cavalry, when it comes to power, hehe, Lu Shanji was not really injured except for shrapnel in his right leg.
"Traitor!"
He spat haughtily.
He still has a lot of backbone, and in the final analysis, he dares to face Jiannu and play to the death.
"Cut him!"
The commander of the guard brigade next to him said indignantly.
"Forget it, he's also a third-grade official, let's keep the Ming canonical punishment, tie it up and send it to the capital, and the Jinyi guard will serve him well."
Li Zicheng said.
"What about these people?"
The group looked at the gentry who were escorted behind with some disappointment.
The latter was a wolf crying wolf.
These are actually the leaders of the main families near Baoding, and there are such things here, and they are also the same enemies in the face of Yang Xin, such as the late Zheng Luo family, Yan Mingtai's family, the Fu family, the Guo family, and a bunch of local snakes. They have all been appointed to official positions by King Xin, as the main force of Baoding's city defense, these regimental training are recruited by them at their expense, and Yan Mingtai's family alone has paid 100,000 taels, but now they are all reduced to prisoners......
Well, it's not just the prisoners.
"Hanged!"
Li Zicheng pointed to the big tree on the side of the road that protected King Xin and said.
Lu Shanji really can't be killed.
Anyway, he is also a member of the Sanpin, and he has always been a confidant of Sun Chengzong, and he is also the No. 1 important minister in the imperial court, Li Zicheng is nothing more than a personal soldier of the King of Zhennan, and he is ordered by the King of Zhennan to act as the supervisor after he leaves. But these people are different, these people's officials are sealed by the king, and they are meaningless pseudo-officials in the court, this kind of pseudo-officials are like pigs and dogs to kill casually, killing is an attitude, he doesn't let go of his hand to kill, how to make the people believe that they can rest assured and boldly rise up to fight local tyrants.
Those team trainers instantly burst into cheers, and it was clear that they had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time.
The gentry were dumbfounded.
When they saw that Li Zicheng didn't kill Lu Shanji, they originally thought that this guy still had some respect for them, all of whom were famous Wenqu stars, but they didn't expect that this was also a thief......
"What are you doing, you can't kill me, my grandfather is a Shangshu ......"
One of them screamed.
But at the same time, a regimental trainer unceremoniously slapped him in the face with the butt of a gun, and directly pressed him down in his screams, and his companions next to him rushed up and directly put a rope around his neck. The Shangshu struggled and screamed desperately, but he couldn't stop all this, and then a group trainer threw the rope over a thick enough branch, and a dozen regimental trainers rushed up and dragged the rope and began to shout.
"My grandfather, Ga ......"
Shangshu screamed afterward.
Then his voice stopped abruptly, and his body struggled to rise with the neat tugging of those group exercises......
"It's useless to return your grandfather, even if your ancestors are here!"
Li Zicheng said disdainfully.
The next moment the group drills pounced on the gentry like hungry wolves pounced on the flock, and in their struggles and screams, one by one they slapped the butts of their guns directly on the ground, and then found ropes to put on them, and then looked for their favorite trees on the side of the road and began to hang them up.
Li Zicheng did not delay any longer, urging the war horse to move forward along the straight street.
The musketeers behind him swarmed in, rushing into the streets and alleys along with the rebels, and at the same time the poor people of the city, who had been impatient for a long time, cheered and poured out to join the revelry, armed with clubs, hoes, knives, and the like. These gentry who were hanging up completely reassured them, they knew that the team entering the city encouraged them to act, and then more officials and gentry were dragged out, and in the fanatical cheers of those people, big trees were hung one by one, and the entire Baoding city began to be thoroughly cleansed, and the great drama of the heavenly street stepping on the bones of the ministers was officially staged.
As for the king of faith......
"Stop, I'm taking a breath!"
King Shin said breathlessly.
It is said that his physical fitness is still not suitable for this grim situation, and he is about to lose his breath after being dragged all the way by Wang Chengen.
"King, now we are running for our lives, we don't have time to catch our breath, and we don't need to catch our breath after we don't run, now that the army is in chaos, then Yang Xin's henchmen can just kill you, and the left and right are to die in the chaos, Your Majesty also said the past."
Wang Chengen dragged him and said anxiously.
This is indeed a good opportunity to kill King Xin, if he hadn't reacted quickly just now, I am afraid that King Xin has been unfortunately injured by mistake at this time, and then King Zhennan can tell the emperor very sadly that his younger brother was unfortunately injured by those ignorant regimental training, and King Zhennan is investigating who fired the gun.
"What about Zhang Fengxiang?"
King Xin only found out at this time that Zhang Fengxiang, who had been with him before, was gone.
Anyway, the latter also brought hundreds of pro-soldiers!
And he was originally following him, Lu Shanji with his own soldiers in front, Zhang Fengxiang with his own soldiers behind, they went to Nanxun Gate together, ready to command the regiment to practice defending Baoding, he was full of enthusiasm just now, and did not notice the situation behind, after all, a team of nearly two hundred people dragged on the street for a long time, but now that I think about it, it seems that Zhang Fengxiang did not take his personal soldiers to the battlefield.
"Do you still believe them, my lord?
The slaves and maids persuade you every day these days, but they are unreliable, why don't you understand it now?
They just use you as a gunman, they don't want to be divided by Yang Xin, but Yang Xin controls His Majesty and coerces the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and they have no reason to resist the Holy Decree, so they coax you to raise troops and use your identity to justify your resistance. But they didn't think about your life or death at all, let alone defeat now, even if you win, you are just being used as a puppet by them.
Do you think they're loyal servants?
Lu Shanji is a loyal, and the slave didn't expect it, but Zhang Fengxiang is definitely not, he persuaded you to stay just to let you block the gun in front, you defend Baoding, Yang Xin's henchmen are all coming to besiege you, and his hometown will not have time to react.
How can you still count on him?
If he follows us now, the slave is still afraid that he will kill you, so you will ask Yang Xin for credit!" ”
Wang Chengen said explosively.
King Shin sat down on the ground in grief, leaning against the wall behind him panting, and it had to be said that he had been hit too hard that day.
At this time, there was a faint shout of killing all around.
However, this alley is too remote, and there are even two abandoned houses, but no one has come out yet, after poking his head out at the entrance of the alley and looking outside, Wang Chengen also took a breath temporarily, he was also exhausted from running, and I have to say that he was also heartbroken for his king.
"What now?"
King Xin said gloomily.
"The king took off the dragon robe first, and the slave went out to find clothes for you, and you can't show up in this.
Let's find a place to hide first, and then find an opportunity to escape from the city, and then hide nearby for a few days and wait for the war outside to subside before returning to the capital, and secretly go to find Xu Ge Lao.
We're going to have to take a gamble.
The slave maid feels that Xu Ge Lao will not sell you, he is still kind-hearted, and he is not afraid that it will cause Yang Xin's dissatisfaction, in the end, he and Yang Xin have a different relationship, as long as he is willing to take you into the palace or to the Academy of Sciences to see Your Majesty, then you will not have to worry about your life, Your Majesty will protect you, at most you will be locked up. But if the slave guesses wrong, then we can only go to Jiuquan to continue to serve you, in short, we have to gamble, and the rest will be left to fate.
If you want to say that in addition to this, you will continue to flee, the farther you escape, the better, it is best to flee to these places in Sichuan and Guangxi, and from then on the slave will wait for you to find a small village to hide incognito for a lifetime.
