In Kaifeng City, there is a person named Zhu Zhicang, who was originally a disciple of the clan, and this time he also participated in the defense of Xicheng. Originally, the children of the clan did not need to defend the city, even if they needed to send out the army because of the rich family wealth, they were replaced by the Fuding. &1t;/p>

Zhu Zhicang's ancestors, originally a concubine, inherited a low title, and the land property is also limited, to his generation, although he bears the name of the clan, but the family has long declined, and it is difficult to make a living only by relying on the clan's wealth. &1t;/p>

Zhu Zhicang naturally couldn't get a good education, and his family even neglected to discipline him, and he had been messing around with Xiaoxiao in the city since he was a child, but he also learned a few fists and feet. &1t;/p>

The children of the clan like him should not have passed around the city at will, and the most standardized thing is to eat and wait for death in the mansion all his life, and his life is lacking [31], so he asked the prince to go to the city to find a few kiln sisters to come back to relieve his boredom, that is, if he falls in love with someone's girl and miss, he can also welcome him directly to the mansion, the government will not interfere, and the court will not care about such small things, as long as the children of the clan do not participate in the rebellion, everything is not a big crime. &1t;/p>

But because Zhu Zhicang was poor, although he violated the rules of the clan, no one reported him, except for receiving the money on time, no one knew about his existence at all. &1t;/p>

The Mandate of Heaven army attacked and opened the seal, and the city recruited troops vigorously, Zhu Zhicang relied on his good skills, took the initiative to join the social soldiers, and was assigned to the headquarters of the West Gate Right Institute, and he was in the city in the past two days. &1t;/p>

The purpose of his joining the social army is not to defend the city, but for food, if he can have some military merits, it would be the best, maybe he can raise the title, the higher the title, the higher the salary. &1t;/p>

The Mandate of Heaven Army was defeated by the hanging tower at the head of the West City, Zhu Zhicang was a little disappointed, if the Mandate of Heaven Army retreated, his food and salary would be gone, and his military exploits would be empty talk, and the dream of improving the title would not come to naught. &1t;/p>

Although Zhu Zhicang could go down to the city to change his guard and rest, he had been sitting by the daughter wall, watching the Heavenly Mandate Army outside the city, and thinking about meritorious service. &1t;/p>

In the evening, the main force of the Heavenly Mandate Army has already retreated to Xiguan, and occasionally a small group of soldiers will come to the city to inspect it, although outside the range of bows and arrows, Zhu Zhicang is still present, and each team of soldiers of the Heavenly Mandate Army is just a small flag. &1t;/p>

Zhu Zhicang summoned his companions and wanted to go out of the city to attack the enemy, but the companions were frightened one by one, the Heavenly Mandate Army was numerous, and they couldn't avoid it, who dared to go out of the city to make trouble? As long as the Mandate of Heaven army does not come to attack the city, everyone will burn high incense. &1t;/p>

But Zhu Zhicang did not give up, King Zhou offered a reward, if he went out of the city to kill a thief, he could get fifty taels of silver! &1t;/p>

Fifty taels of silver is only a meal for other clan members, but in Zhu Zhicang's eyes, it is a lot of wealth, and in the current Kaifeng, at least ten acres of fertile land can be bought! &1t;/p>

What's more, Zhu Zhicang doesn't think that the rogues are so powerful, but they just rely on artillery and a large number of people, how much combat effectiveness can a group of lowly people have? &1t;/p>

Knowing that he couldn't persuade his companions to go out of the city together, Zhu Zhicang felt a burst of contempt in his heart, but this kind of contempt would never be revealed, and he still needed the help of his companions. &1t;/p>

Zhu Zhicang took advantage of the departure of the soldiers of the Heavenly Mandate Army and asked his companions to tie the rope around his waist and lower him from the city. &1t;/p>

Taking advantage of the fact that the sky was not yet dark, Zhu Zhicang looked for the traces of the Heavenly Mandate Army under the city, but the small flag team of the Heavenly Mandate Army that passed by just now had lost its trace, he was deeply disappointed, Lao Tzu had gone out of the city, could he not even get fifty taels of silver? &1t;/p>

He walked alone through the moat filled by the Mandate of Heaven, wandering aimlessly towards the south, and before he knew it, he came to the junction of the western and southern walls, &1t;/p>

It was already dark, but a near-full moon hung in the middle of the sky, illuminating the surrounding dozens of paces as if it were day. &1t;/p>

Zhu Zhicang didn't dare to go too far from the city, so he sat down on the yellow earth and searched all sides with his eyes, expecting to see the next parade team of the Heavenly Mandate Army. &1t;/p>

As far as the eye could see, there was no living thing, Zhu Zhicang hung his head, and was about to get up and go back, when he suddenly heard the sound of "dong dong", the sound was not loud, if he didn't listen carefully, the night was very quiet, and it was impossible to hear it. &1t;/p>

Zhu Zhicang's heart moved, he unconsciously turned his head, and used his ears to search for the direction of the sound, based on experience, it should be a heavy footstep. &1t;/p>

If only it was a lone rogue! &1t;/p>

Zhu Zhicang leaned down and put his ears on the ground, and he quickly judged that the sound of this knock was not the footsteps of a person, but a war horse, and the war horse was very slow, so the sound was very weak. &1t;/p>

The voice was getting closer and closer, obviously walking towards this side, Zhu Zhicang was a little nervous, but there was only one war horse. &1t;/p>

Zhu Zhicang has been lying on the ground, feeling the cavalry approaching him a little bit, it is estimated that there is only one arrow away, he turned over, lying on his back on the ground, his hands have already put on the bow and arrow. &1t;/p>

See clearly, sure enough, there is only one horse, Zhu Zhicang's heart "suddenly" beating, he only has one chance to release the arrow, if an arrow hits, cut off the enemy's level and bring it back to the city, fifty taels of silver will be available, in case of failure, in front of the cavalry, there is no way to escape. &1t;/p>

The moon is bright and the stars are sparse, and the white light is like day, as long as the arrow is shot, this cavalry of the Heavenly Mandate Army will definitely see himself. &1t;/p>

Zhu Zhicang's palm holding the bow and arrow was already dripping with sweat, he could have let go of this ranger of the Heavenly Mandate Army, but for the sake of fifty taels of silver, for a better life in the future, he decided to take the risk. &1t;/p>

Wealth is always a risk! &1t;/p>

The figure of the enemy soldier has been completely exposed, and the armor glows with a cold cold light in the moonlight, although he can't see his face clearly, but for Zhu Zhicang, these are enough. &1t;/p>

Zhu Zhicang sat up suddenly, aimed at the head of the enemy on the opposite side, pulled the bowstring suddenly, and then released his right hand, and the arrow broke through the air, and with a "whoosh" sound, he ran towards the front door of the ranger. &1t;/p>

The ranger had obviously appeared in front of him, whether it was a person or a thing, it was difficult to distinguish for a moment, and he was stunned, he already felt the danger, but before he could make a rolling action, a cold arrow had already rushed to the door, hitting the forehead. &1t;/p>

Zhu Zhicang couldn't help but say, threw away the remnant bow, pulled out the waist knife, and galloped away, taking advantage of the moonlight, cutting the subordinates with a knife, fast, accurate, and ruthless, without a trace of hesitation, without a single superfluous action. &1t;/p>

Zhu Zhicang also wanted to bring the war horse back to Kaifeng City, which was a rare thing in the army, but it was night, the city gate could not be opened for him, and the rope could not hoist the war horse into the city, and when he was hesitating, he seemed to hear the sound of horses' hooves. &1t;/p>

The sound of horses' hooves did not come from one place, but vaguely, and seemed to come from several directions. &1t;/p>

Zhu Zhicang suddenly understood, the ranger generally does not move alone, there must be his companions nearby, and when they heard the movement, they were rushing over to this side. &1t;/p>

If it was one or two people, Zhu Zhicang was confident that he would be able to retreat with his whole body, and even add one or two levels, but it was obviously not one or two people on the periphery, and it seemed that there was the sound of horses' hooves in every direction, which was hurried and decisive. Zhu Zhicang knew that he couldn't hesitate, otherwise he might lose his life in the city, he didn't have time to search the body, and he didn't care about the blood stains on the ranger level, together with the helmet, picked it up, pulled the reins of the horse, turned over the horse, and ran towards the west city gate. &1t;/p>

At the head of the city, Zhu Zhicang was pulled closer to the city with a rope, "Childe, has the silver been rewarded?" ”&1t;/p>

"That's," Zhu Zhicang wiped the sweat stains on his face with his bloody right hand, but the blood stains were scattered on his face, looking very hideous, and he put the senior in his arms on the ground, "Look, there is also a dougong, maybe an officer!" ”&1t;/p>

In the eyes of the soldiers, there was both excitement and some regret, if they had gone out of the city with them at that time, wouldn't they have their own share of the reward of fifty taels of silver? This reward was given by Zhu Zhicang with his life, and he was a disciple of the clan, so everyone didn't dare to take it forcibly, but let Zhu Zhicang receive the reward and reward them with a sip of wine. &1t;/p>

In Zhu Zhicang's heart, there was a burst of contempt, when he first went out of the city, he was as shocked as rabbits, and now that he has benefits, he is going to share them, how can there be such a cheap thing in the world? &1t;/p>

However, he went out of the city to kill the enemy to earn silver, and he also needed the help of these people, at least out of the city and into the city, he needed the help of these people, and he hung in and out with ropes, and he didn't want to offend these people alive, "A drink, there is no problem, if you want more silver, you have to go out of the city to kill the enemy, and the Liukou attacks Kaifeng City, it is the opportunity for me to kill the enemy and get the silver, if you are lucky, the Liukou will retreat in the future, and I will become a rich man in one fell swoop, maybe the King of Zhou will give silver, how can I get such an opportunity on weekdays?" &1t;/p>

Everyone responded to a few words, and there were soldiers who were thoughtful and wanted to follow Zhu Zhicang out of the city to kill the enemy. &1t;/p>

Zhu Zhicang had a smile on his hideous face, looking particularly gloomy, "If you go out of the city again, you have to wait until tomorrow night, after dawn, the Liukou will definitely attack the city, and you can also make meritorious contributions on the head of the city, and you can also get the reward of King Zhou." ”&1t;/p>

"Childe, killing the enemy at the head of the city, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get the reward of the king of Zhou," in the eyes of the soldiers, there was only deep disappointment, "Although the reward of the king of Zhou is rich, it is the proof of the rank, no matter how many enemies are killed in the city, you can't go down to cut the lower level, where is the reward?" ”&1t;/p>

Zhu Zhicang also knew that King Zhou's reward was not easy to take, and after killing the enemy at the head of the city, after the casualties of the rogues, he would definitely fall outside the city, how to exchange the grade for silver? It's obviously deception! &1t;/p>

The conditions are set by the king of Zhou, and the silver is also out of him, Zhu Zhicang naturally has no right to speak, thought for a moment, and said: "Defend the city first during the day, and after dusk, I will take you out of the city, kill the enemy's wealth, and let's earn the silver of the king of Zhou together!" ”&1t;/p>

King Zhou did not break his promise, after Tianming, Zhu Zhicang really exchanged a grade for an ingot, and he was the first person to get King Zhou's reward for silver. &1t;/p>

The silver was brought by Gao Mingheng, and in addition to a few words of encouragement, it was still released in public, which made many soldiers envious. &1t;/p>

When Liu Jianyi heard that the rangers had been cut down, he was furious, and attacked for two days with siege engines and ladders, killing and wounding many defenders, even Zhu Zhicang was seriously injured and died, but Xicheng was still firmly controlled by Gao Mingheng. &1t;/p>

On the evening of the 16th, Li Zicheng was supervising the battle in the rear, and received a message from the Han Qing Bureau and various rangers: Chen Yongfu's division of the Ming army had returned from the retreat of Luoyang, and the advance was only twenty miles away from Xiguan; Li Xianfeng, the governor of Henan, rushed from the north of the Yellow River and estimated that he would be able to cross the river tomorrow; The men of Yang Wenyue, the governor of Baoding, came from the east and were already approaching Kaifeng; In the direction of Huguang, Zuo Liangyu abandoned Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai, and had already arrived in Xiangcheng, which was only two days away from Kaifeng. &1t;/p>
