Chapter 245 Bloody Battle Fengtianmen (Middle)
Long Changshou's face sank like water, just now he went to the Ordnance Department to urge for thunderbolts, and people said that they would not give it if they did not come to get it in person without King Yan coming in person. Long Changshou was furious, beheaded several officials of the Ordnance Department on the spot, and moved out the thunderbolts in the Ordnance Department one by one, which saved the defeat at the moment of crisis and saved Fengtianmen. It's time to play this set of intrigues. Long Changshou was angry in his heart and felt a disgust for Long Xingrong, and he secretly asked himself, is it worth working so hard? But when Long Changshou saw the trusted eyes of the soldiers and young men who followed him, Long Changshou was relieved. He understood that he was not working hard for Long Xingrong, but for the people in the city and the dignity of Dayan, and it was worth dying for the people and for the dignity of Dayan.
Night covered Mukden, and the soldiers who had fought for a day slept on the city walls with their weapons in their hands, and the medical officers and Lang Zhong in the city were treating the wounded soldiers. The people carried the bodies of the fallen soldiers to the city for proper placement, and many women and children were brought hot soup and meals under the organization of Mukdenfu.
Long Changshou looked at a three- or four-year-old girl holding a small basket in one hand and dragging her mother's clothes to bring flatbread to the soldiers with the other, and he was very distressed. He picked up the little girl and wiped the tears from her face.
"Don't be afraid, child, with us, we will definitely not let Rong Lu enter the city."
The little girl nodded sensibly, took out a piece of cake and stuffed it into Long Changshou's mouth.
"Uncle, eat."
Long Changshou chewed the cake, and tears couldn't stop flowing. What a good child, what a good people, you should really let Long Xingrong come and see. As the Emperor of Dayan, he has such a good people but doesn't know how to cherish it, and he has to make peace with Rong Yu, so that the country will collapse, and the people will suffer from chaos, where is such a person worthy of being the emperor. It was really better to listen to the words of his uncle Yan Chengyu and kill Long Yansi to ascend the throne and become emperor himself, which is better than causing the people to suffer like this now.
But there is no regret medicine in this world, so you can hold on as long as you can, and I just hope that the Flying Tiger Legion can come as soon as possible.
Long Changshou was looking forward to the arrival of the Flying Tiger Legion, but the Flying Tiger Legion had been blocked by Su Meiduo's army from Jizhou to the states along the Yangtze River. It's not that the Flying Tiger Legion can't fight, but that the captives pushed the captured people to the front of the battle, and the Flying Tiger Legion threw a rat trap and was suppressed on the border and couldn't advance.
This situation was also faced in Jinyang and Jinzhou, where the huge disparity in strength and the despicable means of capturing made Zhuang Dafu, who had already led 50,000 cavalry to rescue Mukden, was stopped in the middle and forced back to the border step by step by Huagai. Ling Wuwu led 150,000 Northwest Iron Cavalry into the grassland, wanting to use the strategy of encircling Wei to save Zhao and relieve the pressure of Fengtian, but he faced the interception of 300,000 Heavenly Wolf Cavalry. Ling Wuwu had to take advantage of the mobility of the cavalry army to maneuver with the Heavenly Wolf Cavalry on the grassland, and he couldn't spare his troops to rescue Fengtian at all. Sima Changfeng also led the army to Jinyang for reinforcements, but the distance was far away and he couldn't catch up with Jinyang for a while, and even if he arrived in Jinyang, he would face the problems faced by Zhuang Dafu.
It should be said that Su Meiduo's plan was so vicious that the top brass of the entire Shenlong Empire was constrained, and they had to send the Huya Army to rescue the captured people, but how could it be so easy. There are too many people who have been captured, and if you rescue a group, you will capture another group of captives. In order to save the people, the elite Huya Army suffered heavy losses, and even the commander Zhao Zilong was seriously injured.
However, the generals of the Flying Tiger Legion did not give up, and they used the method of attacking from multiple directions to enter the land of Gyeonggi from all directions, but the Rong captives used the trick of holding the people hostage to block the Flying Tiger Army from all directions. Even the newly formed fleet in Jiangnan went up the Qingjiang River to rush to the aid of Fengtian, but was blocked by Rong Lu in the same way on the Bozhou line.
Rong Lu's approach was so angry that the generals of the Flying Tiger Legion were furious, and they demanded to attack the grassland. After carefully analyzing Su Meiduo's arrangement, Yan Chengyu vetoed the demands of these generals. At this time, the Celestial Wolf Khanate was a nationwide war, and the border was covered with Celestial Wolf cavalry and armed troops, and the price of attacking the Celestial Wolf Khanate at this time would be unbearable. The generals of the Shenlong Empire were eagerly looking forward to Yan Hui's early return, and at this time, Yan Hui was fighting a decisive battle with the Hongyi Expeditionary Fleet at sea, and he had no time to separate.
It can be said that the timing, strategy, means, and deployment of Su Meiduo's attack on Dayan this time exceeded the expectations of Yan Hui and his courtiers. And all this Long Changshou couldn't know, and he was thinking about how to hold on for more time now.
In the dark night, the city of Mukden lost its former peace and calmness, and terror and despair spread everywhere. Long Changshou, who had been fighting for a day, was walking on the way home, he was already tired and fell asleep on the horse, and several guards leaned over to clamp him tightly in the middle of it.
Just as they were about to get home, dozens of dark shadows emerged from the shadows and quietly followed Long Changshou and them.
"Who!" The chief guard snapped and quickly raised his shield and long knife.
Click, whoosh. The machine spring rang out and the crossbow arrows flew, and the guards beside King Yan were hit by arrows one after another. The chief guard and the three guards clamped King Yan tightly, and they were vigilant in advance to protect themselves, otherwise King Yan would have been pierced by ten thousand arrows a long time ago. King Yan and the guards' war horses were hit by arrows one after another, and fell to the ground with a wail, and those black-clothed people quickly approached, and even on the roofs and walls on both sides of the road, there were many black-clothed people, and they brandished long knives to kill.
In that array of crossbow arrows just now, most of the guards of King Yan had been shot, and the remaining ones, including the chief of the guard, were all hit by several arrows, and even King Yan's calf was pierced by a crossbow arrow. The guards surrounded King Yan and fought desperately with those black-clothed men. But the other party was large in number and prepared, and even if those guards tried their best to kill many black-clothed people, they couldn't stop the dense crossbow arrows. When the chief of the guard fell in front of King Yan with crossbow arrows all over his body, the group of black-clothed men slowly surrounded King Yan, and King Yan put his long knife across his neck.
"Who sent you? Jebeli? ”
"Your Highness, we are the Snow Wolf Guard."
King Yan's eyes widened angrily and then asked, "Why! ”
"Your Highness forgives your sins, we are just acting according to orders, as long as Your Highness does not resist and hand over the handwritten notes of King Xianyan, we will never embarrass Your Highness."
"Don't think about it, if you want to kill, you will kill."
"Your Highness doesn't think about yourself, but you also have to think about the princess, right? So that His Highness would know that another snow wolf guard had arrived in His Highness's mansion. ”
"Despicable villain. This king would rather die than obey, come on, you have a big battle with this king. ”
"Your Highness, why bother, my master ordered me not to hurt His Highness and the princess, so His Royal Highness doesn't have to worry about the safety of the princess."
As he was talking, a group of men in black quickly approached, and the leader of the Snow Wolf Guard looked at the people and asked, "Did you succeed?" ”
The leader of the new group of men in black nodded, raised his right hand to his lips, and seemed to have something to say to the leader. The leader of the Snow Wolf Guard waited sideways, but there was a sharp pain in his ribs, and the leader of the Snow Wolf Guard stared at the man in black in front of him with wide eyes, and before losing consciousness, the leader of the Snow Wolf Guard saw that the new man in black was killing the Snow Wolf Guard.
The leader of the men in black helped King Yan up and called his subordinates to treat King Yan's injuries. The crossbow arrow pierced through the lower leg of the Yan King, and the crossbow arrow had to be cut off to pull it out of the leg. King Yan gritted his teeth and insisted on not making a sound until the wound was wrapped, and then he let out a sigh of relief.
"You're from the cold front, aren't you?"
"Yes, Your Highness, we have been ordered to take His Highness out of Beijing. The snow wolf guards who attacked the palace have all been wiped out, the palace is safe, and the princess is safe. ”
"Help me get home."
Back at the palace, King Yan didn't say a word to the princess, and went straight to the backyard library. He opened the secret room and pointed to the rows of bookcases on the bookshelves inside and said, "The handwritings of the Yan Kings of the past dynasties are all here, especially the experimental notes of the ancestor Long Xingyuan. The folk circulars are all original manuscripts, which are not complete and inaccurate. These notes involve Dayan's top technical secrets, and they must be sent out of the capital safely. Now I will give it to you, this king does not ask your name, I only look at your waist card. ”
The leader took out the waist plate from his bosom, and it was actually made of gold.
"Are you a member of the Niu clan?"
"Exactly, in Xia Niu Da Mountain, Niu Da Zhuang is my cousin. The clumsy wife Xiangyun is Mrs. Yan Shuai's personal maid. ”
"Hehe, it turned out to be a family, then I'm relieved. These notes are handed over to you, and they must be sent out of the capital overnight, and if they are robbed halfway, they would rather be destroyed than fall into the hands of the captives. ”
"The mountain obeys the order and will live up to His Highness's trust. Your Highness, the head of the family is fighting with the Hongyi Kingdom for supremacy at sea and has no time to clone, so Yan Shuai ordered me to wait to take His Highness out of the city, and without further ado, let's go. ”
"Let the princess go with you, this king cannot leave the whole city behind."
"Your Highness!"
"Don't persuade me, the things that this king has decided have never changed."
Niu Dashan saw that he could not persuade King Yan, so he had to order his subordinates to wrap the handbook in an oilcloth and tie it up and transport it away. When King Yan saw that Niu Dashan not only did not leave, but ordered people to mobilize people to assemble at King Yan's mansion, he asked, "Why don't you leave?" ”
"Your Highness is ordered to protect His Highness's safety, so he must follow His Highness's left and right. Leng Feng hid nearly 3,000 elites near the palace, and all of them were transferred to assist His Highness in defending the city during the day and protecting His Highness's safety at night. ”
"This was arranged by Brother Hui?"
"Exactly."
"Dashan, you heard this king say, I'm afraid that the capital can't be defended, and this king is looking forward to Brother Hui coming back to recover Fengtian. Therefore, Leng Feng's three thousand elites can't move now, and they are ordered to hide on the spot as an internal response in the future, so you can also go. Don't waste time, go quickly. ”
Niu Dashan pondered for a moment, then arched his hand to King Yan and walked out. Only then did King Yan return to his study with the support of the old housekeeper. Princess Yan had been waiting in the study for a long time, and she told King Yan that Leng Feng did not withdraw but protected King Yan's Mansion tightly, and now King Yan's Mansion is safe.
"Ruyan, you go with the mountains, and the prosperous world will be entrusted to you."
"With my uncle and aunt and Brother Hui, Shengshi will not suffer the slightest grievance, so Ruyan will not go anywhere, just stay here with my husband."
"You, alas."
"The prince, the princess, Fengtianfu Yin asked to see him, saying that there was a big incident in the city."
"Call in."
Fengtianfu Mansion Yin ran in with a sweaty face, and said without bothering to salute: "Your Highness, the big thing is not good, there are unknown gangsters making trouble tonight, and they are attacking the warehouses everywhere." Although the guards of each gate led the army to encircle and suppress these people, the guards of the four gates were all plotted, and the guards of Fengtianmen had just been martyred before the next official came. Your Highness, what a good thing this is. ”
Bang, Yan Wang Long Changshou slapped on the table and said loudly to Fengtianfu Yin: "Order you to gather all the officials of Fengtianfu, issue them armor and ordnance, and then gather 8,000 young men to block the gates of the imperial city for this king, and if anyone goes out of the city, they will be killed." ”
"Your Highness, Your Highness, isn't this a rebellion?"
"Do you still need to rebel? At this time, they were still thinking about infighting, and this king did this to defend Mukden and protect the people. Whoever says that the king has rebelled, then the king has rebelled. This Dayan Jiangshan is originally my family's, and Long Yanhe's father and son have made Dayan what it is now, and they are no longer worthy of becoming the lord of Dayan. Do what this king says, even if Long Yansi and Long Xingrong want to go out of the city, shoot me back with arrows. ”
"The lower officer obeyed. The lower official will arrange it. ”
"Wait, this king is going with you."
Long Changshou stood up, took off the long knife at his waist and handed it to Ruyan, Ruyan took the long knife and hugged it tightly in his arms, the couple looked at each other and smiled, everything was silent.
The riot in Fengtian City had already been discovered by Rong Lu, and just as King Yan hurried back to Fengtian Gate, Rong Lu actually began to attack the city. Countless torches illuminated the inside and outside of the city walls as if it were day, and the roar of ballistas shattered the silence of the night, and under the cover of ballistas, a group of captives launched a fierce attack on the four main gates of Fengtian City.
At this time, the people guarding the city wall were no longer divided into men and women, and all those who carried weapons were thrown into battle. (To be continued.) )
