Chapter 124 under Jinhua IV

The team was not crowded, Zhang Xuan's heart was always hanging a little, and as soon as Cao Zongyu arrived at this moment, Zhang Xuan's heart suddenly relaxed.

Although Zhang Xuan felt that with the officials and troops in Jinhua City, he would not be able to capture Xicheng District at all, but he was afraid that something else would happen.

Before the dust settles, who knows what kind of flip will be on the battlefield.

However, as soon as Cao Zongyu came, Zhang Xuan knew that Jinhua City was almost ironclad. There will be no other repetition.

"The last general meets the general. The end will be too late, and I ask the general to forgive my sins. Cao Zongyu came up directly from the wooden shelf outside the city wall and said.

Zhang Xuan laughed and said, "What a crime, you have already come very early. After his laughter stopped, he asked, "But can you still fight now?" ”

Cao Zongyu said: "If you can fight, as long as the general gives an order, the Nanyang battalion will be able to attack immediately." ”

Zhang Xuan looked at Cao Zongyu, but found that Cao Zongyu was sweating profusely. knew that Cao Zongyu was a little reckless when he spoke.

The Nanyang camp is actually very tired.

However, the Nanyang battalion is tired, and the cavalry defending the city is not tired?

After trekking overnight yesterday, after capturing the city in the early hours of this morning, the battle hardly stopped, and now, Zhang Xuan's eyes were already full of bloodshots, like a rabbit.

Although he let the cavalry soldiers be assigned to rest in the city. But in the midst of the shouts of killing, how many people can sleep soundly?

Everyone is puffing up a lot of energy, wanting to take down Jinhua City.

"Okay." Zhang Xuan said: "Rest immediately now, and when the officers and soldiers retreat, it will be the time for the Nanyang battalion to attack." General Cao, don't let me down. ”

"Yes." Cao Zongyu agreed.

Morale can't replace strength after all, no matter how heavy Zhu Dadian's intention to kill the thief is, but the difference in strength between the two sides makes Zhu Dadian's efforts in vain after all.

Mingjin could only retreat.

The sound of the official army's singing gold was when Cao Zongyu attacked, Cao Zongyu immediately rushed to the city gate to kill, and the soldiers of the Nanyang battalion only rested for half an hour before they killed again.

If there is a real battle, the Nanyang battalion may not be able to hold out for long.

After all, physical strength is the most basic ability in the era of cold weapons.

Without physical strength, no matter how elite a soldier is, he can't fight.

It's just that at this time, the physical strength of the officers and soldiers is also at the end, and the morale is also at the end, these soldiers were just the gentry who took care of the homes before, where have they seen such a scene.

At this moment, he was beaten by the Nanyang battalion and suddenly collapsed. They broke up in a group and went to find their own mother.

What Zhu Dadian can control is only a little bit of his own family.

But this point, corresponding to the surging tide of thieves, can it play a role, Zhu Dadian sighed

said, "If you are defeated today, you should run for your life." ”

Zhu Dadian turned his horse and walked back, but the place he went to was not his own home, but the government.

"My lord, where are you going?" Wu Bangrui said.

Wu Bangrui is a son of the Shanyin family, and he has been following Zhu Dadian for a while. He wanted to make a difference, so he came to Zhu Dadian to learn the art of war of Sun and Wu.

"The gunpowder in the city is your and my hard work, and the city will be broken today, I can't bear this hard work, fall into the hands of thieves, and I don't want to be cheap for thieves, where the gunpowder magazine is, is where I died." Zhu Dadian said.

Wu Bangrui said: "Teachers are willing to go, and students are willing to return together." ”

Zhu Dadian looked at Wu Bangrui's firm eyes and said, "Okay." ”

Zhu Dadian followed Wu Bangrui to the powder magazine, immediately arranged the fire rope, and waited quietly.

After a while, someone came, it was none other than Zhu Dadian's wife. Zhu Dadian's wife said: "The master wants to go, how can I wait and stay alone." ”

Zhu Dadian originally wanted them to flee to the countryside, but then he thought that there might be a white-headed army in the countryside to make trouble, so he sighed and didn't say anything.

There are about 20 people in Zhu Dadian's disciples, they are sitting in the powder magazine, surrounded by mountains of gunpowder, a long fire rope connects all the gunpowder together, one end of the fire rope is in Zhu Dadian's hand, Zhu Dadian holds a fire fold in the other hand, and when the thief comes in, he lights the fire rope.

"Sir, the student has a question." Wu Bangrui suddenly thought: "Take righteousness, become benevolent, which is more important?" ”

Zhu Dadian pondered for a while and said: "What the sage has learned is all in one benevolent character, so benevolence is the most important. ”

Wu Bangrui said: "Otherwise, we should focus on righteousness, otherwise how can we call righteousness and benevolence." ”

"It's just a consonant rhyme, Mr. Wenshan said, Kong said Chengren, Meng said to take righteousness, naturally Chengren is in front." Zhu Dadian said.

The two talked about the classics, and there were many discussions about this issue, and almost all Confucian scholars joined in one by one.

Some people say that benevolence is for oneself and righteousness for others, and of course benevolence comes first. Someone else said: The righteousness of the monarch and the minister is loyalty, the righteousness of the parents is filial piety, loyalty and filial piety are the scriptures of heaven, and the principle of the earth should be taken seriously.

Holding one end at the other, they seemed to have forgotten where they were now.

In fact, it's not that they have forgotten, but many people are afraid, life and death, fear is human nature, and it doesn't hurt to die all of a sudden. But sitting upright like this, some people can't bear it, and if they don't say something and distract themselves, I'm afraid that they will get up and run away.

"A group of poor and sour, still chattering crookedly when they are dying." Suddenly there was a voice outside the door. Immediately, the door of the powder magazine was kicked open, and a hundred households rushed in with their men.

Zhu Dadian saw them come in, smiled slightly, and lit the arquebus in his hand.

Although the sound of burning is not loud, it is very catchy at this time. When these hundred households saw it, their noses twitched slightly, and they were shocked

Sedao: "It's not good, it's gunpowder." ”

These hundred households didn't have time to give orders, so they turned around and ran.

But where to run away.

Hundreds of thousands of catties of gunpowder were hoarded here, which were prepared by Zhu Dadian and the Jinhua government in order to stick to Jinhua.

This ignited, even if Baihu escaped from the powder magazine with his men, he couldn't escape the scope of the gunpowder explosion.

"----Boom", the entire Jinhua City was shaken, even on the city wall, Zhang Xuan felt that his feet were shaking, and when he looked from a distance, he saw a fireball explode in the middle of the city.

The pungent smell of gunpowder smoke rushed over, and everyone felt deafening for a while, and the buzzing sound in Zhang Xuan's ears couldn't stop hovering, and it took a while before it dissipated.

"What's going on?" Zhang Xuan said.

Naturally, no one answered Zhang Xuan's question.

"Don't go check it out yet." Zhang Xuan said.

Suddenly, many people went to see what was going on.

After a while, someone came over and said, "My lord, it was Zhu Dadian's family who committed suicide by igniting gunpowder in the powder magazine, and at the same time, there were 100 households in Nanyang Ying. ”

Zhang Xuan said: "A hundred households died? ”

"It's not a hundred households that died." The scout said hesitantly, "But a hundred families are all dead. ”

Zhang Xuan took a deep breath and tried to contain his anger. said: "Zhu Dadian." ”

Zhang Xuan has also fought a lot of small wars, but very few of the 100 households in the formation have died in the battle, even if it is the defeat of Xiping Ying Xiayi, it is only a lot of losses for each 100 households, and it is Zhang Xuan who took the initiative to downsize and reorganize these 100 households. There really is not a single example of a hundred households dying in battle, and not a single one escaped.

But after this anger passed, Zhang Xuan felt a sense of gloom again.

"Why, I'm not a man-eating beast, and I don't kill many people, why would these people rather die their whole family than surrender." Zhang Xuan secretly said in his heart: "Is Da Ming really so good?" ”

Zhang Xuan wanted to ask this question for a long time, but no one would answer him, from Fu Zonglong, Wang Qiaonian, Shi Kefa, to Zhu Dadian. Zhang Xuan has seen the ministers of the dead festival, or has such and such problems, in general, they are all talents.

But why is there such a deep hatred for the rebels?

Zhang Xuan couldn't figure it out, and occasionally remembered that if he fell into a desperate situation one day, he didn't know if he had the courage to die.

Probably not.

Zhu Dadian died a vigorous death, and his death marked the end of Jinhua's last resistance. Zhang Xuan's various troops entered the city one after another, and the Baitou army also came to Jinhua City.

Zhang Xuan's department had to be repaired in Jinhua City for a while.

Whether it is to rectify the white-headed army, but to restore the overdrawn physical strength of the various departments, it will take time.
