His Royal Highness King Liang, martyrdom!

The guards all turned around and looked at the fire, stunned.

Amin was also stunned.

King Liang is dead? Just dead? Who set that fire? Is it King Liang who committed suicide Xu Guo?

At this moment, suddenly the sound of horses' hooves sounded behind him, and before Amin could look back, he suddenly heard a loud roar not far away in his ears.

A large arrow came from the sky—it was more than five feet long, the tail finger was thick, and the cluster of arrows alone was more than a foot long, and it was dark and dull, and it shimmered with coldness.

The long arrow broke through the air, and a very poignant sound of breaking the air sounded in everyone's ears, and then they saw that the long arrow hit Xu Xun, who was standing on top of the city tower and lost his soul, and nailed Xu Xun's chest, Xu Xun died without saying a word. And the strength of a thousand catties, the remaining momentum has not weakened, and he actually flew out with his body for more than five feet, and with a clang, it was nailed to the red lacquered pillar of the tall city tower!

Above and below the city, there is silence!

Everyone looked back in unison, and their hearts were terrified, wanting to know who could shoot this earth-shattering arrow!

Amin was also shocked in his heart, and when he looked back, he saw a group of thirty or forty Mongolian men wearing black steel heavy armor and extremely well-equipped men coming on horseback, led by the stout man who was holding a huge iron-tired bow and posing for archery.

With such a long face in his family, the Mongolian men around him were also honored, and they all said loudly: "Qinggeltai, there is really you!" ”

"It's worthy of being the first warrior of our Fuyuwei, haha, Qinggeltai. Today's events, I can show off to my children and grandchildren for the rest of my life. ”

"I think you can shoot an arrow into a stone!"

Qinggeltai put away the bow and arrow in his hand. Haha laughed and said: "What is this, when will I really shoot through a stone for you to see." ”

Amin squinted. His heart shrank, what did he do?

This person he had a relationship with once, and he was actually the guard that Amin relied on very much in front of his tent - Qinggeltai.

"Gyeongeltai has met Lord Amin." Qinggeltai saluted with his fists at Amin and laughed: "I have come to assist your lord on the orders of the Great Khan. ”

"Come to help me?"

Amin waved his hand, and in his heart he was clearly here to grab the credit, he smiled slightly, and said, "Okay, since that's the case, let's enter the palace together." You have to see people in life, and you have to see corpses in death. ”

"Naturally." Qinggeltai stretched out his hand: "Lord Amin, please first." ”

Amin nodded, and rode straight in.

And the forbidden soldiers guarding the castle tower and the cave in the city gate have already been shot and killed by the dense flying arrows like locusts. Amin ordered in disgust: "These yellow-edged Han dogs, not one of them will be left, and they will all be killed!" ”

"Yes, sir!"

―――――――― Dividing Line――――――――

"What a fire!"

Five miles away from Partridge Town, on a hill, Lian Zining is stationed on Maqi. Seeing the raging fire in the palace through the clairvoyant mirror, he couldn't help but sigh and sigh softly.

The clairvoyant mirror can look thousands of miles away, which is naturally too empty. But five or six miles or even almost ten miles away, it's still okay. After all, as long as a person is standing on a high place, he is seeing with the naked eye. You can also see the distance, this clairvoyant mirror. It doesn't make the line of sight far, it just makes things in the line of sight. I just saw it more clearly.

At this time, the West was already able to produce large telescopes with a diameter of more than 10 centimeters and quite good accuracy -- compared to this, the Ming Dynasty was much worse in terms of such 'kitsch and prostitution', so the development was relatively lagging behind. However, the thick foundation of the Ming Dynasty is placed here after all, and the technology of making glass and glass is much stronger than that of Western Europe.

The cost of this thing is also extremely high, a body costs thousands of taels of silver, the cost is still second, the important thing is to work slowly and carefully, so the speed of manufacturing is very slow, so that even the generals at the army level can not even equal one person.

In previous wars, the clairvoyant mirror has helped a lot. The diameter of this clairvoyant mirror is not large, and it is not very long, but it is extremely accurate.

At this moment, through the clairvoyant mirror, the entire Partridge Town battlefield was under Lian Zining's eyes.

pikemen who are forming a phalanx and strangling with the coalition cavalry; The allied cavalry dismounted one after another, took a sturdy log from the collapsed wall, dismounted as foot soldiers, and charged towards the six fortresses, while the coalition soldiers behind were riding around the fortress in a circle, and the feathered arrows rained in, causing a large number of casualties to the fortress. And the Wu Yi army stationed inside the fortress was not to be outdone, and the crisp gunshots like popping beans rang out from time to time, and a burst of gunfire brought a large number of deaths of the coalition soldiers, and they fell down in batches, which was quite a bit of a queue to be shot.

And Amin was in front of a tall and strong man, leading people through the palace, and their destination was the burning flames.

In short, now the entire battlefield of Partridge Town has been twisted together, you have me, I have you, and no one can easily get out.

This hill is located in the northwest of Partridge Town, and the location is quite secluded, and there is a small river flowing east in front of the hill, which is the upper source of the river next to Partridge Town. Behind the hill is the boundless forest, which takes on a thrilling dark green color.

There were about dozens of people stationed on the horse.

Lian Zining is at the front, Ye Nai is wearing a heavy armor, holding a big sword in his arms on Lian Zining's left hand, and Lian Zining's right hand is Zhu Zaiyuan, His Royal Highness King Liang, who has been 'martyred for the country and burned × Mingzhi since × burned'. Behind him was a group of female guards who were supposed to accompany him in his suicide.

King Liang was wearing a yellow robe with a four-clawed golden dragon, with fluttering sleeves, a purple gold crown on his head, and an ink jade hairpin inserted in the middle, and the surface of the purple gold crown was inlaid with a huge fiery red gem. Handsome and chic, full of luxury. It can be regarded as a reflection of the excellent genes of the old Zhu family. Emperor Zhengde's heirs are not ugly - think about it, even Zhu Yuanzhang Hongwu is not handsome. But his concubines are all countable beauties, and the concubines of the emperors of the Zhu Ming Dynasty in the future are also extremely beautiful. These have been passed down from generation to generation, and the genes have long been improved and remembered very well, and it is strange that they can be ugly.

King Yong is majestic and imposing; Fu Wang is luxurious, Erya is gentle; The king ......of the valley is mighty, heroic and heroic, but if it comes to handsomeness, there is really no one who can compare with the twenty-sixth son of the emperor, King Liang.

It's just that His Royal Highness King Liang's face is very unsightly and gloomy at this time.

It's not just him. The female guards behind him were all strained faces, as if someone else owed them a lot of money - it was not surprising to think that it was not a good feeling to watch 'yourself' die in the flames.

After listening to Lian Zining's words, King Liang didn't say anything, but just stretched out his hand and came over: "I'll take a look." ”

Lian Zining didn't care about his attitude, just smiled and handed him the clairvoyant mirror. King Liang looked at Fang Zi for a while, and he sighed: "No wonder Wu Yibo is invincible, not only the soldiers are fighting to the death. Brave and good at fighting, even these weapons are also strange, and they are all there, which is very different from other armies. No wonder. No wonder. ”

"But, the most fundamental, the most important. It's still on Wu Yibo. If there is no Wu Yibo to strategize, there will be many strange tricks. How can we be in the current situation? Liang Wanghu's words changed sharply.

Lian Zining smiled faintly: "Your Highness has praised it." ”

"Whether it's a false praise or not, we all know it in our hearts. That is, don't be too modest. King Liang shook his head slowly, looked at Lian Zining, and said word by word: "But even today, Wu Yibo's plan is still hidden in the dark, so he may tell this king at this time?" ”

When he said this, he squinted at Lian Zining, seven were dissatisfied and eight were angry, and his emotions were very wrong. Lian Zining understands very well - whoever is used as a bait has been scared for so many days, and he only escaped before the catastrophe came, and his mood will not be much better. What's more, this frightened master himself is a noble person, and no one dares to humiliate him.

Lian Zining seems to have a particularly good temper today - for those who have suffered a blow to their hearts, it is natural to take more care of them.

He smiled and said, "At this point, it is natural to speak." ”

He turned around and ordered: "Dazhu, order all armies to prepare and stand ready to set off at any time!" ”

"Yes, sir!"

The stone pillar not far behind him answered, turned around and burrowed into the dense forest. After a while, there was a low sound in the dense forest, and the sound gradually faded away, startling the birds in the forest.

If you can't get out of the way and Amin at this time, if you are facing a great enemy, it is impossible not to notice the abnormality here, but at this time, the coalition cavalry is fighting with the Wu Yi army, how can you manage here?

Lian Zining turned his head and explained to King Liang in detail: "Presumably His Highness already knows that this plan is a complete trap, set up a trap, let Amin jump in, and then close the door and beat the dog." ”

"Of course the king knows." King Liang snorted angrily: "This king also knows that this king is the tempting piece of fat in the trap." ”

Lian Zining smiled: "Your Highness, isn't it okay?" ”

King Liang also knew the truth of not doing anything for himself, and knew that this matter was already like this, and it was not interesting to entangle, so he didn't say it anymore, just waved his hand: "You go on." ”

"Xiaguan and Amin have fought with the Haixi Jurchens many times, and they know that they are very good at spying, so the news that we arrived west of Songjiang must not be able to hide it from the Jurchens. Therefore, the plan was calculated and this bureau was set up. ”

Lian Zining continued: "After the subordinate led the army to this partridge town, he first stopped here for three days, Amin was suspicious and cautious, and when he learned the news that the army had been stagnant here for three days, he must have been suspicious - after all, the first time the army was launched, it was the time to take the lead, and it was best to drive straight in, smash the Yellow Dragon, and kill the enemy with a stick. But I didn't, so Amin was going to send spies to inquire about ......"

Cui Wanrong behind King Liang sneered: "So at this time, I, an ignorant and unruly woman, was clamoring to eat peach blossom deer lips and sent the soldiers out hunting. The secret of Partridge Town is revealed, isn't it? ”

The tone of her speech was very unkind, and Nona couldn't help but glare at her.

Lian Zining didn't care. Maybe it's for the sake of King Liang's face, maybe it's also unwilling to see her in general. He waved his hand: "It's not that you eat peach blossom deer lips or not, as long as Amin sends someone." I have a hundred ways to let him know that His Royal Highness King Liang is in Partridge Town. Even if he doesn't send someone, I have a way. ”

King Liang was very interested in the conspiracy of the lamp, and asked, "For example?" ”

Lian Zining smiled faintly: "It's normal for the messenger to contact and be captured by mistake." ”

"Okay, let's stop talking about these useless things, let's get down to business."

Lian Zining waved his hand and said: "Stay for three days, and after building the palace, leave the forbidden army and part of the Wuyi army to guard Partridge Town." Then the three-way army pounced to the west. The three roads in the north, south and the middle have become a coercive trend, and the three-way army is driving straight in, and Amin must be flustered. As soon as people are flustered, they will inevitably be anxious to do things, and they will naturally be prone to many mistakes, so that they will not be far from falling into the chime. ”

King Liang asked, "What if he just won't be fooled?" ”

"That's simple, the three-way army was originally a false trick to force him to sneak attack Partridge Town. If he is not fooled, then he will change from virtual to real, and surround Ali Zhiwei in three ways. It's just that," Lian Zining spread his hands. Said: "If that's the case, it will become a hard fight, and the Jurchens not only have Ali to defend the city. is even more blessed Yu Wei covets the side, so it will be very difficult to fight. I don't know how many people will die. ”

Lian Zining smiled: "With Amin's temperament." Eighty percent of people will jump into this trap. He also knew that the victory was too small this time, so he wanted to stand out from the odd army, thinking that if he captured Partridge Town and captured His Royal Highness, he would win without victory, and our Wuyi army would be defeated without defeat. It's a good idea, but it's a pity that if he can think of it, how could I not think of it? ”

"It's just unthinkable that Amin actually brought Ha Bu out, I expected him to come with 30,000 soldiers, but I didn't expect that he pulled Ha Bu out, adding up to 50,000 soldiers, which is a little difficult to fight. But the good news is that Dong Laohu struggled to intercept on the way, but after all, he was killed and injured, and he suffered a lot of losses here, which is easier to deal with. ”

"Speaking of which, this king has to say something." King Liang asked, "Since you want Amin to come to Partridge Town, why do you want Dong Laohu to intercept him?" And what's the point of his interception? ”

"To strengthen Amin's faith." Lian Zining said: "The more fierce and ruthless the interception, in Amin's opinion, the more reluctant I am to let him reach Partridge Town, and the more firmly he believes that here in Partridge Town, it is definitely not a trap!" Amin is suspicious, if not, there must still be doubts in his heart, and the layout of my partridge town, although it is meticulous enough, but there are still a lot of omissions, if you look carefully, you can also see that if Amin does not firmly believe in his heart that King Liang must be here, maybe he would have withdrawn by this time, how could he fight to death? ”

King Liang felt extremely awkward when he heard this, and he said in disbelief: "So many people died just to strengthen Amin's confidence? ”

"Not quite." Lian Zining said: "There are still troops that consume him." On the day of the interception, he clearly put on a posture to delay the speed of the Tartars' march, and Amin gave up many wounded in order to be quick, and hurried all night. In this way, not only did the coalition army lose more than 8,000 people, but also the morale of the army was low, and the soldiers were extremely tired, and these three things were even enough to determine the direction of the war. ”

King Liang was quite unwilling in his heart - in fact, the root of this emotion was because he saw a peer who was better than himself and instinctively disagreed in his heart - he said with a little joke: "But now Amin and Ha do not have 40,000 soldiers, and the army on the southern front has not returned, and you only have less than 40,000 here. ”

"Who said I'm going to be here for the most work?" Lian Zining glanced at King Liang strangely, and said with a smile: "If you can lose 13,000 to 15,000 of their men and horses with Partridge Town on the way to interception, the goal has already been achieved." ”

"Your Royal Highness, although you are the king of Liang and listen to the prince, you may not know much about the war, so I will talk to you carefully here." Lian Zining looked at King Liang and said: "War, in the final analysis, is to use various means to dispatch and divide the other party and disperse the opponent's forces. Then, we should concentrate our superior forces to destroy part of the enemy, turn small victories into big victories, and turn them from partial victories into comprehensive victories. ”

King Liang smacked his face for a while, his face was pale, and he solemnly hugged his fist to Lian Zining and said, "Chengbi, I have been taught." ”

He does not call Lian Zining Wu Yibo, nor does he call himself the king. This seems to have abandoned his identity and made a discipleship to Lian Zining. It is that there is no distinction between before and after learning, and those who reach it are the first. Lian Zining said this. It is really a golden and good word, and it can be said that the essence and truth of war can be broken with a finger. When King Liang heard this, he only felt that there was a sudden brightness in front of him, and this sentence alone was worth the trip.

When he spoke, he was very polite and convinced.

"Your Highness is gracious."

Lian Zining answered, picked up the clairvoyant mirror and carefully looked at the battlefield in Partridge Town for a while, and said to himself: "It's almost time." This time, Qin Liren did a good job, and entangled Amin and Ha Bu out of a strong one. ”

"Entangled? Presumably the flesh and blood of those soldiers who stayed behind in Partridge Town to entangle those Tartars so that they could not escape, right? It turns out that in the eyes of the soldier, the life of the soldier can be so worthless. ”

When King Liang saw Lian Zining's performance, he couldn't help but shudder, and suddenly remembered the hundred forbidden troops who must have been killed and wounded.

Lian Zining didn't mention anything about the forbidden army just now.

The fate of those forbidden soldiers was already doomed long ago - from the moment Lian Zining ordered them to be imprisoned. It is impossible for them to be allowed to return to the capital and publicize Lian Zining's arrogance to the people of the world, which Lian Zining absolutely cannot tolerate. They should have died a long time ago under Lian Zining's sword, but when Lian Zining decided to cross the Jiangxi expedition with King Liang. It was decided not to kill them, but they ended up dying - by the sword of the Jurchens and the Mongols.

Because Lian Zining still needs them to live for a while, to be honest. The role they play is still quite important, without them. King Liang's news in Partridge Town, Amin's spies may not be able to find out, and they again. It also greatly increased the credibility of King Liang here. Increasing the allure of Partridge Town makes the poison of Partridge Town even more delicious in Amin's eyes.

And now, that their mission is complete, it's time to go—to die.

can use the calculations of people who are destined to die but are not yet dead, and there are few scheming people like Lian Zining.

And their death, Lian Zining will naturally inform King Liang - King Liang didn't say anything about Lian Zining's plan, in fact, he acquiesced.

After these forbidden troops go back, they will also bring great trouble to King Liang, so although King Liang is quite unbearable in his heart, he finally agrees.

Lian Zining's behavior of treating human life as a mustard made King Liang a little uncomfortable, but he knew in his heart that Lian Zining's approach was the most suitable for the situation, and it was also something he should learn. It's like what he said to himself that time - on the battlefield, human life is no longer human life, just a number on paper.

is as arrogant as King Liang, and he has to admit in his heart that Lian Zining is really much better and more outstanding than himself.

Lian Zining's face was solemn, and he said: "Order, Azig led the army to move to the southeast, Helian Leopard attacked from the east, Shi Dazhu, you led the pro-army battalion, attacked from the south, surrounded on three sides, and the key attack direction was the Ha Bu Division." This old thing, the original account keeper hadn't settled with him yet, but now he sent it to the door by himself. Knowing what kind of place this is, he dares to mix it up! Look for death! In that case, then today is the solution for him! ”

"Dazhu, the pro-barracks, the Fifth Cavalry Army, the Sixth Cavalry Army, temporarily organized as the Zhennan Battle Cluster, you serve as the marching commander, the central command, remember, there is a goal, try to leave Ha Bu out! Even if you let this old boy run away, you have to bite off a few pieces of meat from him, and this time, the official wants to put some blood on Fu Yuwei! ”

"Yes, sir!"

"Go ahead!"

Shi Dazhu retired by himself.

Lian Zining said again: "Send an order to Dong Laohu, let him lead someone to entangle the Jurchens, try to stalk them to the death, don't be hard-hitting, give them an indicator, at least drag more than a cup of tea." ”

"Yes!"

"Order Qin Liren and ask him to cooperate with Dong Laohu, mainly to find the Jurchens, and he is also mainly entangled." Lian Zining paused and said, "Tell him that this time, he did a good job." ”

"Yes!"

With Lian Zining's orders one after another, the heralds sent out the orders one after another, and the entire periphery of Partridge Town suddenly became turbulent.

King Liang was a little surprised and asked, "Wu Yibo, this king has no intention of interfering in the war, but he is just curious, so he asks more." Although this king is not familiar with military affairs, but he also knows the truth that it is better to cut off one of his fingers than to hurt his ten fingers, and now we are focusing on dealing with Amin, but why do we have to do our best against Ha, but only entanglement for Amin? (To be continued.) )
