Chapter 12 The Present Is Not What It Used To Be
The shape shì has developed into a dilemma, in fact, Wang Feng is quite regretful, if he had been on his own from the beginning, the Qing army had not seen the power of the explosives bag, and it was likely that he would not focus on himself, but it was useless to say anything regretful at the moment, only to rush over as much as possible is the right way.
Wang Feng's position was about fifteen zhang away from the city wall, that is, less than fifty meters, which was the standard death distance, so he turned around and slammed his hand a few times.
The generals of the Taiping Army also noticed Wang Feng's predicament, and Hong Xuanjiao couldn't help but say: "King Dong, Wang Feng is targeted by the Qing demon, please immediately order the artillery team to bombard the north gate of the city, and mobilize the gun team to cover Wang Feng, success or failure in this move!" ”
"Good!" Yang Xiuqing did not hesitate, waved his hand and said: "Order, do as Xiao Wangniang (Hong Xuanjiao's honorific title within the Taiping Army)!" ”
Hundreds of gunners rushed forward, and the Hongyi cannon also adjusted its position and realigned it.
"Papapa~~" There was a sudden dense explosion like fried beans behind him, Wang Feng turned his head to look again, and suddenly his spirits were lifted, a team of Taiping soldiers were shooting at the city, and then, there was a whistling sound overhead, and two cannonballs hit the city wall, one of which was like a divine help, and it actually hit the battlements!
The rubble smashed to the ground with several corpses like raindrops, and the city fell into a moment of chaos, Wang Feng secretly said that he had a good opportunity, and immediately rushed out, this time it was no longer crawling forward, but while observing the city, he ran wildly, and whenever someone aimed a gun at him, he kept changing directions.
"Good!" Su Sanniang said hello suddenly, it turned out that Wang Feng had successfully entered the doorway and was placing explosives bags against the city gate!
At this moment, the Taiping soldiers were full of hope in their eyes, and Yang Xiuqing shouted: "The horse team is ready, once the city gate is blown up, it will be attacked immediately!" ”
Under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes, Wang Feng pulled the lead to the outside of the city wall, took out the fire fold and lit it, and a fire snake quickly rushed towards the city gate.
Wang Feng secretly counted the time, and pounced violently outside the city, his body fell to the ground, and there was a deafening loud noise, and the city gate was blown apart and collapsed on the spot!
The rumbling sound of horses' hooves sounded suddenly, the cavalry of the Taiping army swarmed to kill, and the head of the city was also shouting and gunfire, and there were nearly 38,000 old and weak women and children in the city, and the banner people accounted for ninety percent, and they were broken into the city by the Taiping army, and they were all dead and vertical, and they would never be captured, but this qiē had nothing to do with Wang Feng, he would not be stupid to enter the city to participate in the war, but he did not go back, on the one hand, he shrank in the corner of the city wall, waiting for the Taiping army to control the head of the city, on the other hand, although he avoided the shock wave of the front, but he was still shocked by the blood surging.
The battle in the city was extremely fierce, and it was not until the sky turned dark that the shouting and killing at the head of the city gradually weakened, and Wang Feng also rushed back.
An incense table has been placed on the spot, a statue of Guan Gong is hung high, and the incense table is placed with pork and fish balls and a live rooster, as well as a glass of red wine and two pairs of Jinlan scores.
As soon as she saw Wang Feng coming back, Su Sanniang immediately beckoned: "Wang Feng, come here, tonight the East King and the Wing King will testify, and my sister and you will marry Jin Lan!" ”
Wang Feng was secretly happy, his original plan was to climb Hong Xuanjiao, but he didn't expect to catch Su Sanniang, although Su Sanniang is not as good as Hong Xuanjiao in terms of identity, but his status is not weaker than half a point, after all, Su Sanniang represents the Guangdong Heaven and Earth Society, and the Guangdong Heaven and Earth Society is an important component of the Jintian Uprising.
The ancients would never treat the righteous knot Jin Lan as a child's play, from now on, he is Su Sanniang's younger brother, even if Yang Xiuqing kills him, he has to weigh Su Sanniang's meaning.
In fact, Wang Feng also understood that this was all in exchange for his own life, and within two days, he risked his life twice to make miraculous achievements, which won Su Sanniang's favor.
Wang Feng stepped forward quickly and solemnly arched his hand: "Sister Sanniang, Wang Feng is better than obeying his fate if he is respectful." ”
"Okay, let's get started!" Su Sanniang took the Jinlan sticker, wrote her name first, pressed the handprint, and then handed it to Wang Feng, who wrote the name and pressed the handprint in the same way.
Next, Wang Feng and Su Sanniang each took a stick of incense and Jin Lanpu, Shi Dakai personally killed the chicken, dripped the chicken blood into the red wine, and brought it to the two, the two of them bit the middle finger of their left hand and squeezed a drop of blood into it.
Su Sanniang first respectfully incense the statue of Guan Gong, then knelt down, raised a glass and said: "Guan Erye is above, today, I, Su Sanniang and Wang Fengyi, married Jinlan, the emperor and the queen of heaven, learn from this heart, betrayal and ingratitude, heaven and man are punished together, accept the name, form a sister and brotherhood, trust each other in life and death, save each other in good fortune and evil, rely on each other in good fortune and misfortune, help each other in adversity, and anyone who has outsiders messing with my sister and brother will be punished!" ”
Wang Feng also followed the incense, and retold Su Sanniang's oath in front of Guan Erye, and then the two sisters and brothers sprinkled three drops of blood wine in their hands on the ground, and drank them in order of age, and the rest was offered in front of the statue of Guan Gong.
"Brother and sister bow four!" Shi Dakai shouted.
Although the righteous knot Jinlan is called a friend of eight bows, in practice, it is limited to the salute when the children of the family meet each other's elders, and brothers with different surnames only need to bow four times, Wang Feng and Su Sanniang knelt opposite each other and bowed to each other four times!
"Hahahaha~~" Yang Xiuqing laughed and arched his hand: "Wang Feng, congratulations, congratulations, you and Sanniang bow in front of the formation, it should be a good story for a while, I hope you two sisters and brothers will work together and make new contributions to my Taiping Heavenly Kingdom!" ”
"Thank you King Dong for your encouragement, your subordinates will remember it." Wang Feng hurriedly gave a deep salute.
"Hmm~~" Yang Xiuqing nodded and said: "Wang Feng presented the explosives package method, and he blew up the city gate regardless of his safety. ”
Yang Xiuqing set his sights on Shi Dakai, Qin Rigang and others, in fact, the second right in the East Palace, Xuan Cheng is a subordinate official of the East Palace, even if Wang Feng is promoted to the sixth Shangshu of the East Palace, it has nothing to do with them, what Yang Xiuqing needs to consult is to promote Wang Feng from the commander to the commander.
Shi Dakai is chivalrous and righteous, like Su Sanniang, he only looks at people with ability, Wang Feng's actions make him really admire, so he took over and said: "Although Brother Wang was voted by the Qing army, his heart is in Cao Ying's heart and his heart is in Han, and he has repeatedly performed miraculous feats, and being a teacher is enough to convince the public!" ”
Since Yang Xiuqing has a heart, Shi Dakai has an intention, and Wang Feng is Su Sanniang's younger brother, Qin Rigang naturally does not want to be a villain in vain, and also said: "King Dong, the last general has no objection, and Wang Feng's achievements can be vigorously publicized, so that the world can know that no matter where I am in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, whether it is new or old, I must use my talents, and I will be promoted because of my merits!" ”
This is exactly what Yang Xiuqing intended, Wang Feng's identity is no longer what it used to be, and by promoting Wang Feng, he can sell his favor to Su Sanniang, and erect Wang Feng as a pacesetter, which can also show that he Yang Xiuqing is a meritocracy, so as to attract heroes from all over the world to follow.
"Good!" Yang Xiuqing immediately shouted: "Wang Feng, you are promoted to the commander today, together with 2,630 subordinate officials, listen to the dispatch of the East Palace, and make up the number for you within three days, you can appoint subordinate officials by yourself, just report to the king's instructions, and promote you to the second right of the East Palace!" ”
"Thank you King Dong, your subordinates should do their best!" Wang Feng thanked him again.
