Chapter 24: I Am the Heaven (Part II)
"The surname Liu! Are you really going against the court? Huang Hu was not afraid and drew his knife to confront him.
Huang Hu prepared in advance, and the officers and soldiers also surrounded the rebels first, but neither side made the first move.
The rebels were originally surrounded, and they would definitely not be able to please them if they fought first, so they could only wait for the officers and soldiers to make a move and then counterattack.
In the end, what is reasonable becomes unreasonable, and there are fewer in this year?
"It's come to this, it's useless to talk about it!" Liu Jianyi sneered, "This Ming Dynasty has reached the point where it is now, natural disasters and man-made disasters, and it is time to die, if you want to accompany the funeral for the imperial court, Lao Tzu will not stop you, but you don't stand in my way to be a minister of the dragon!" β
"You let me out of the city, I will hand over the city gate to you, our well water will not interfere with the river water, you can make a difference, I can live, how about it?"
As he spoke, Liu Jianyi secretly touched his hand to the handle of the knife.
Huang Hu also laughed a few times, "From the Minister of the Dragon? I'm afraid you've mistaken who is the dragon and who is the worm, right? β
"Liu Jianyi, Liu Jianyi, you are still so unrepentant when you die, your parents gave birth to you and raised you, just to make you a thief?"
"Who is the thief in the end, maybe it's really uncertain!" Liu Jianyi didn't want to say anything more to this mouth cannon, so he stabbed Huang Hu with a spear in his hand.
Huang Hu's expression was tight, and his heart was good.
I saw him flash, slashed the knife in his hand, and grabbed the gun with his backhand while Liu Jianyi was dodging.
After losing the spear, Liu Jianyi looked frightened and wanted to take back the weapon, but was kicked by Huang Hu's right foot, hitting the brick wall behind him, spurting out a mouthful of blood, and temporarily unable to move.
As soon as these two men started fighting, the remaining officers and soldiers and the rebels all surrounded and killed as if they had received an order, and in an instant, they were in a scuffle in the north gate tower.
The whole Luoyang is now full of war, when Huang Hu and Liu Jianyi fought to the death, the officers and soldiers of the South Gate had been waiting for a long time with their helmets and armor, and General Luo Tai was still worried.
Sometimes people are like this, the closer they get to do it, the more hesitant they are in their hearts, and the slightest hint of wind or other people's words can make the previously well-thought-out plan fail.
"The time has come, and there is still no news from the north gate, isn't it that Liu Jianyi is treacherous and cowardly?" Rotai frowned.
"So what do we do, to fight or not to fight?" Jia Ding asked.
These family members are different from ordinary soldiers, they just follow the master to eat, and they take the money for their lives, and the master general accidentally takes the wrong road, and basically has to say goodbye to a happy life.
In the final analysis, no one wants to be a thief, Li Chuang at this time is still a "bandit", and no one calls him a rebel.
At this moment, everyone is looking sideways, waiting for the final decision of their own master.
Luo Tai was anxious like an ant on a hot pot, walking back and forth, it stands to reason that the north gate should have done it a long time ago, but now there is no news, there are only two possibilities.
First, Liu Jianyi was cowardly and afraid of death, and he was timid in battle.
The second is also the last thing Luo Tai wants to happen, that is, Zhu Youhua has been prepared, and Liu Jianyi has been destroyed before he can make a move.
In either case, this has exceeded expectations and is simply not within my control.
"General Luo, there is an order from the head town, let you go to the east gate for reinforcements quickly, and only part of the troops will be left at the south gate!" Suddenly, a Wang Shaoyu's own soldiers rushed over.
"Zongzhen, if we don't make a decision, we will be in a two-sided situation!" Another family member anxiously urged.
Luo Tai's expression kept changing, and at this time, the pro-soldier under the city said: "General Luo has not replied, could it be that there is something wrong?" β
Hearing this, Luo Tai was suffocated, and hurriedly said: "Please reply to the head town, I, Luo Tai, swear to live and die with Luoyang City!" β
"Okay, that's what I'm waiting for!" The soldier agreed, turned and rode away.
"Zongzhen, then General Liu's ......" Jiading was a little worried.
"I can't care so much, pass the order, leave two adults and horses, and all the rest will be transferred to the East Gate to assist in defense!" Luo Tai did not hesitate any longer and ordered loudly.
Soon, the officers and troops of the South Gate marched in full gear and rushed from the city to the East Gate, where the war was raging.
......
"Chief Sentry, judging from this situation, we will be able to eat and drink in King Fu's Mansion tonight!" Gao Yigong rode over and laughed at Liu Zongmin.
As soon as they thought of the luxury of King Fu's mansion, all the thieves drooled.
Liu Zongmin sneered a few times, "I thought this Zhu Youhua was some kind of immortal, but I didn't think about it, and he was a little bit stronger than his pigs of the same clan and clan!" β
"Haha." The remaining thieves laughed.
Everyone had already seen the victory that was close at hand, and in the laughter, Song Xiance in the rear frowned slightly, he stretched out his hand to catch the raindrops, and muttered to himself:
"There is a big drought in Henan, but there has been heavy rain outside Luoyang for several days, it shouldn't be like this..."
At the head of the East Gate, the officers and soldiers were completely unable to resist the offensive momentum of the invading army, and even Zhu Youhuadu and Wang Shaoyu had retreated to the vicinity of the platform with the few remaining defenders, and resisted step by step with the help of the terrain.
"What about Liu Yuqi, could it be that he defected to the bandits?"
Zhu Youhua regrets it a little now, he shouldn't have believed those prisoners, who knows what they are thinking.
It's stupid to put your hope in a prisoner.
If you can't fight now, you can only escape, but until now, I'm afraid that all the bandits have recognized themselves, is it so easy to escape?
While thinking of a way, Zhu Youhua took Wang Shaoyu and others to retreat steadily.
An officer and soldier slashed the bandit in front of him to death, and was about to retreat a few steps back, but was chased by two other bandits who were catching up, and they slashed the officer and soldier under their feet with a knife.
Because the number of bandits is really increasing, the officers and men have no choice but to retreat gradually, and there is no way to deal with those officers and men who are lonely.
Several officers and soldiers rolled out of the sea of blood, and several people cooperated with each other to kill several bandits, and then fought and retreated.
But when a few people looked back, the large army in the rear was besieged by bandits, and retreated nearly ten steps away with Zhu Youhua and Wang Shaoyu.
It is these ten steps that have become the most insurmountable gap in their lives.
After a few breaths, countless bandits shouted and jumped into the city from the battlements on both sides, and within ten steps, they were already full of bandits with fierce faces.
"Master Ma, we will be brothers again in the next life!"
After several days of fighting, the officers and men were exhausted, and everyone knew that there would be no reinforcements if they could not run, and several of them laughed a few times, each looking for an old camp of bandits, and jumped off the city wall with their arms, and they all fell to pieces.
In a blink of an eye, only himself was left, Ma Ye looked around, and found that Zhu Youhua and Wang Shaoyu had been forced to the city wall by bandits, and he also sneered a few times.
"I didn't expect that this royal clan also has bloody people, it's worth it, it's worth it!" At the end of the words, Ma Ye laughed wildly a few times, and rushed into the crowd of bandits with the last bit of strength.
In the blink of an eye, he collapsed in a pool of blood.
He still has a knife in his hand...
......
"Brothers, hold on a little longer, reinforcements are coming!" Zhu Youhua's face was covered with blood, and at this time, he didn't care about wiping it at all, but shouted while retreating.
Seeing that he was about to die here, Wang Shaoyu had no condescension, "King Nanyang, don't comfort everyone, there are no reinforcements at all, right?"
"Fart, Lao Tzu said there is, then there must be!" Zhu Youhua stared back and yelled, although he didn't know the bottom in his heart, but he had to do this.
Seeing his expression, Wang Shaoyu also had nothing to say.
Zhu Youhua didn't seem to be lying, but where are the reinforcements who have been waiting for a few days?
He looked around and found that all he saw were bandits shouting into the city, and the officers and soldiers were either fleeing in all directions, or drowned in the sea of bandits with weak resistance.
"Look!" Suddenly, someone shouted.
Wang Shaoyu hurriedly looked over and his eyes widened suddenly.
In the distance, on the edge of Luoshui, the turbulent waves were violently beating the embankment, and at this time, there was a thunderclap in the sky, as if it was a signal, and the river level was also at this moment, completely higher than the shore.
The next moment, an unstoppable flood swept in.
Accompanied by the torrential rain and lightning and thunder in the sky, the flood was like a wild horse that had escaped its reins, and in the blink of an eye, it rushed from the shore of Luoshui to the rear of the invading army.
The horse team that had been waiting for a long time in the back directly became the first victim, although they all reacted quickly, how could they be faster than the rushing flood?
Before the screams of countless horse teams could be made, even the men and horses were swept into the monstrous waves, and they were never seen again.
In the face of this unstoppable flood, the huge army array is like a papier-mΓ’chΓ© window, which will be broken with a single stab.
Under the city, the bandits who were shouting a second ago suddenly became panicked, and some of the people who were climbing the ladder wanted to hurry up, and some jumped down in mid-air and ran around.
More and more bandits were swept up in the flood, watching them drown little by little, listening to their heart-rending screams, the remnants of the officers and soldiers at the head of the city were all overjoyed.
Zhu Youhua laughed, stepped on the battlements with one foot, and shouted loudly to the surroundings: "See, Lao Tzu said yes, that is, yes!" β
"The King of Nanyang is mighty!"
"The King of Nanyang is mighty!!" The officers and soldiers began to cheer.
Zhu Youhua breathed a sigh of relief, Liu Yuqi, good job, Lao Tzu didn't believe you in vain!!
