426. Beat the drum and enter the city

Zhu Yuanzhang's army has been waiting outside the city for a long time, he knows that the courage of the people is not big, and when the 5,000 officers and soldiers are around, no matter how ruthless the people are, they will not dare to make trouble, but if he puts the 30,000 thief army outside the city, the courage of the people in the city will be different.

Sure enough, at dusk, there were arrows shot out of the city, and the scouts of the Zhu army picked them up, which turned out to be the arrow book shot by the people in the city, which said that they would cause trouble tonight, and hoped that the eight kings of Zhu would meet Yunyun outside the city.

These arrows are very interesting, it is not shot out of the city by a unified team, but by many groups of people out of the city, each group of people agreed on a different time to start the incident, some are one watch, some are two watches, some are three watches, and some say dawn...... It seems that there are many poor people in the city, and they are discussing the revolt. From the situation of so many arrow books, it can be seen how chaotic the city has become.

In fact, not only the arrows and books shot by the people, but also the officers and soldiers, a certain hundred households sent someone to shoot a letter from the city wall, saying that he couldn't help but be in the military camp or something, and during the day he saw the scene of a thousand households killing people, and already knew that the city could not be defended, so he was willing to surrender to Zhu Jun, expressing his willingness to cooperate inside and outside, and open the city gate.

Such letters, Zhu Jun scouts can pick up one after a while, and the table is full of flowers.

The so-called tree falls and scatters, that's what it looks like.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't bother to read these letters carefully, he didn't care what the first and second and third were dawn, it didn't matter at all, the people in the city must be waiting for the news of the thief army outside the city with pointed ears, as long as Zhu Jun moved. No matter how many shifts it takes, there will always be someone to respond.

As soon as it was dark, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the Zhu army around the four gates to approach the city together, they were not too tight, and when they were a mile away from the city gate, they stopped and set up a formation, making a picture of attacking the city, and the officers and soldiers at the head of the city were very nervous, and quickly woke up all the officers and soldiers who were sleeping. Transferred to the city.

The officers and men bowed and wounded. The guns were loaded, and everyone was ready for battle, but Zhu Yuanzhang did not order an attack, but just let the Zhu soldiers continue to stand outside the city. The thieves did not move. Naturally, the officers and men did not dare to move. The two sides just stared at each other with such big eyes. You stare at me, come, I stare at you.

The old leaders all had calm faces and waited for the play without saying a word. The new red lady was a little confused, and she came to Zhu Yuanzhang's side. asked: "Brother Zhu, why don't we besiege and not attack?" What kind of fame is this? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile: "We are surrounded like this, and the officers and soldiers are forced to go up to the city wall, so are there still officers and soldiers patrolling the city in the city?" ”

The red lady said: "Of course there won't be." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said: "That's right, what I want is to let the officers and soldiers have no time to take care of the affairs in the city, and what kind of things those people will do if they lose the bullet pressure of the officers and soldiers is worth looking forward to." ”

The red lady suddenly realized, it turned out to be this meaning, she couldn't help but be in awe of Zhu Yuanzhang, and thought to herself: No wonder other leaders ignore it, they know that Zhu Bugling must have a clever plan, so they fully believe in his command, but it is my question that makes me seem to be a rookie.

In fact, at this time, it was already time for Er Shao to pull out a knife and stab Du Shan, and after Du Shan was seriously injured, he killed Er Shao and escaped from Ma Fu.

Zhu Jun stood quietly outside the city for a while, and suddenly saw a fire in the city, and then a large noise came from the city, obviously starting to be chaotic. The officers and soldiers at the head of the city began to waver, although they did not dare to blink their eyes to stare at Zhu Jun, but many people couldn't help but turn back to see what was happening in the city.

As soon as the army's heart moved, the situation began to deteriorate greatly.

Zhang Fushun put on an iron armor, walked back and forth on the city wall, looked at the outside of the city with an anxious face, and looked at the city with concern, only to see a fire in the east of the city, a fire in the west, and the chaos seemed to have begun to break out in large numbers, and there were shouts of killing everywhere. If the thief army is not waiting outside the city, he will now lead the troops into the city to quell the chaos, but the thief army is lined up under the city, obviously waiting for him to quell the rebellion, if he leaves, the thief army will attack immediately, the city gate will be lost, where dare to move?

"What a white water Zhuba, you are so calculating!" Zhang Fushun gritted his teeth and roared on the city wall.

Suddenly, I saw a family member in a green coat and a small hat running over, his face was covered with mud, and he was still a little injured, and shouted: "General, the big thing is not good, the chaotic people have surrounded the governor's yamen, and the governor is trapped in it, and the villain is the governor of the governor's family, and he desperately drilled out of the dog hole to ask for help, and please hurry up to send troops to rescue." ”

Zhang Fushun gritted his teeth and said, "Look outside the city, where can I get extra soldiers to take care of him?" ”

The family looked out of the city wall, and immediately gasped, and when he was helpless, he suddenly saw a palace guard running over with smoke and flames, and shouted urgently: "General, the Qin Palace's palace is surrounded by chaotic people, and I ask the general to send troops to rescue me." ”

Zhang Fushun secretly sneered in his heart: You stupid king. But he said, "Look outside the city yourself." ”

The guard lay on the wall and looked out, and he cried out in pain.

After a while, the city has been shouted to kill the sky, the chaotic people are crowded, in the city to kill officials and the rich, like a big city like Xi'an, there are a lot of court officials, all kinds of clerks add up to dozens, these dozens of mansions are affected at the same time, fortunately, these court officials usually have precautions, either there are martial artists at home, or there are family members who are armed to the teeth, and they can barely refuse to defend the house.

In addition to the officials, even the black-hearted rice merchants, they were also attacked by the chaos people, but they were far worse than the officials, and most of the rice merchants only had a small number of family guards, which was far less powerful than the fighting power of the court officials. Many black-hearted rice merchants were dragged to the street by the rioters, beaten into meat puree with sticks, and the wives and daughters of the rice merchants were miserable and humiliated by the people, and it was difficult to escape death after the humiliation, and the corpses of Bai Shengsheng were thrown into the street without a wisp, which was miserable. Instead of robbing their homes of gold and silver, the rebels grabbed grain, digging through the grain in the rice merchants.

Zhang Fushun looked around, only to see that the fire was everywhere, and all the buildings and wealthy homes were burned. He was so frightened that he couldn't help crying: "There are thieves outside, and there are rioters inside, how can this be good?" ”

"Good mom you're big!" A hundred-household official suddenly jumped out from behind him, and stabbed Zhang Fushun in the back with a knife, and the fish scale armor couldn't stop such a close range, and the deliberate sneak attack was pierced by the knife, and blood splashed, Zhang Fushun didn't have time to react again, and another hundred-household official also jumped up and slashed at his neck.

The knife didn't cut off his neck, only half of it was cut in, and the knife was still embedded in his neck, Zhang Fushun's throat gurgled, and he slowly fell to the ground, and he didn't have time to say a word of his last words.

Zhang Fushun's family members were suddenly furious, pulled out their knives, and rushed towards the two hundred household officials, and the family soldiers under the command of the two hundred households also pounced, raised their swords together, and shouted: "The city is broken, if you want to live at this time, you have to surrender to the Zhu Bawang outside the city, let's cut off Zhang Fushun's head as a gift, so that we have a chance to live, brothers, follow you with your life." ”

This shout suddenly seemed to have thrown a virus into the army, and the virus spread wildly, and the officers and soldiers at the head of the city were stunned and at a loss, some wanted to follow the rebellion, some still reported their loyalty to the imperial court, and some just thought: If I surrender, can I be a high-ranking official. Some people think: If you don't surrender, you will die, and if you fall, you will live, of course, you will survive in death.

Some drew their swords, some threw them, some ran towards the city gates, some ran towards the city, and the military formations of the officers and soldiers collapsed in a hurry. A thousand-household official had blood on his face and shouted: "If you don't want to surrender to the thief and want to live with me, let's open the city gate and rush out, maybe we can break away from the thief army and escape with our lives......"

Before the words fell, he had been stabbed in the back, and a hundred household officials smiled cruelly: "Lao Tzu can't get Zhang Fushun's head, and it's the same if you give it to King Zhu Bawang." ”

Chaos was pervasive, and the city was in shambles.

Some officers and soldiers who wanted to surrender to thieves took off their mandarin duck jackets and threw them on the ground, wearing only regular clothes, and blended into the chaos, and the city gate became chaotic, and after a while, the soldiers and civilians began a chaotic battle.

One soldier shouted "the other way around" and took off his coat to blend in with the civilians, only to see a poor man grabbing the soldier and dragging him out, yelling: "How dare you the fuck come and mix in with us?" During the day, you are the most vigorous in killing, and I have two good brothers who died under your sword. ”

The soldier's face changed color, and he said hurriedly: "I was also forced by my boss during the day, and I couldn't help it." ”

"You fart!" The poor man scolded angrily and swung his knife to cut the soldiers, but how could he be as good as a soldier? Instead, he was chopped down with a knife, and the other poor people next to him roared angrily, and they were beaten with sticks, and the soldier struck a few times, but he could not stand many sticks, and he was knocked to the ground, and instantly trampled into flesh.

Seeing this, the other soldiers couldn't help but weigh whether they had worked hard to suppress the people during the day, and in a blink of an eye, many soldiers who had planned to surrender to thieves returned to the side of the court, but the result was chaos, and corpses were killed all over the city gate.

Zhu Yuanzhang stood outside the city, listening to the shouts and cries in the city, although he didn't see it in person, he also knew what was going on in the city, he didn't make a sound on his face, he just ordered the soldiers, ready to rush forward at any time.

After waiting for a while, the drawbridge in front of the city gate suddenly fell down with a "bang", it turned out that the rebels in the city had cut the rope that tied the drawbridge, and then the city gate slowly opened a crack, and someone shouted out in the crack: "Welcome to the ...... of the eight kings of Zhu"

This person shouted, and was cut down by a knife in the back, and then someone ran over and seemed to want to block the city gate, but those who ran up to block the gate were quickly cut down again, and a few more people ran out from behind, shouting: "King Zhu Ba is coming, come ......"

The battle for the city gate was fierce, and it changed hands almost in an instant, but the city gate opened wider and wider.

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said: "Beat the drum, enter the city ......" (to be continued.) )
