166 I don't know where the dragon goes after the rain (4)

"I'm going out of the city to fight, and you shoot arrows for me." Trierda patted the shoulder of the deputy general Wang Genzi, and he was full of pride.

Wang Genzi nodded heavily: "Dusi can go with confidence." ”

The weak point of a city is at its gates, so the enemy must not be allowed to attack them. Xi'an was underprepared before, and all that was collected was the rout of Bai Guangen and Gao Jie, and they did not dare to use it to go into battle. There are not many people brought out by Trilda, and they only hope that the arrow array at the head of the city can defeat the head of the thief army.

- As long as you can win for a while, maybe the morale will rise.

Trilda said secretly in her heart, still holding on to a glimmer of hope.

Wang Genzi stood at the head of the city and said to the left and right families: "Take my iron bow." ”

The iron tire bow is a bow body made of iron, which is not elastic and can only be used for practice. Wang Genzi's iron tire bow is an iron and wood bow body, although it is elastic, it is not far from iron, so it is called "iron tire". With this strong bow, coupled with the well-crafted long arrows, coupled with the height of the city wall, Wang Genzi was able to shoot two hundred steps away, which was already a very amazing arm strength.

He took out a piece of letterhead full of words from his bosom, folded it into strips, and tied it crosswise to the cluster of arrows. When the bow came, without saying a word, he opened his bow and shot an arrow, only to see the white arrow feather cut a graceful curve in the air, obliquely inserting into the land in front of the army.

Trierda was quite relieved to see it, and said secretly: This must be Wang Genzi's test firing.

Because the range of bows and arrows is directly related to the maintenance of bows and arrows and the manufacture of arrows, every time the two armies face each other, they must test each other's range. Outside the firing range, it is necessary to march slowly in formation, maintain physical strength, boost morale, and once you enter the firing range, you must rush into the enemy formation as quickly as possible, so as to reduce losses.

Wang Genzi's arrow was shot. Sure enough, the fast horses who broke into the camp to provoke and test the range were frightened and retreated one after another. But one of the men had quick eyes and quick hands, and when he was returning to his horse, he leaned sideways and pulled out the arrow. It was the habit of the fast horses to bring back an enemy arrow to prove that they were indeed in the enemy's range. He pulled it out. Only then did I find that there was a note tied to the arrow, as if it was used for communication.

The two armies faced each other, and this way of archery communication was also common in ancient and modern times. He immediately sent the note to the Chinese army, and handed over the general Zuo to Li Zicheng.

About Fall!

There were few words in the letter, no extra pen and ink, only said that the Ming Dynasty was exhausted, and he was willing to take his troops to serve as a righteous teacher, and open the door to dedicate the city.

Li Zicheng read it a few times, and then transferred the letter to Gu Junen on his right. Niu Venus, who was standing on the left, almost burst into fire when he saw it. But he could only grit his teeth and endure it. Since he was released, Li Zicheng has trusted Gu Junen more and more.

After reading it, Gu Junen smiled and said, "Congratulations to the marshal!" If Xi'an can surrender, the vitality of the army can be preserved. In this way, Gansu, Ningxia and other places can be recovered as soon as possible, and it is an example for the small cities on the road to the east. ”

Li Zicheng was originally ready to fight a tough battle, but he didn't expect a defender to surrender. He was slightly disappointed and said, "It seems that Prince Zhu is not in the city." ”

Gu Junen pondered for a while: "Prince Zhu even has to defend Ruzhou for two days, not to mention that Xi'an City is high and deep, and there is no reason to abandon it. I think there are other constraints in the Ming court. ”

"I'm afraid that Xi'an really doesn't have any soldiers to defend." Niu Jinxing interjected.

Li Zicheng nodded, and Hulala stood up. Put on your signature wide-eaves felt hat and say, "Go!" Let's talk about it when they enter Xi'an. ”

……

"His Zhu family is clothed and fed, we can't even eat a coarse grain bun! I don't even have a piece of warm clothes on a cold day! Are we born to be practiced by them!? Wang Genzi stood at the head of the city, angrily pointing to the sky, hating and scolding.

His own soldiers or family members, or personal companions. It was also very angry to hear.

The soldiers around knew that there was a change, and they were silent, and they didn't even dare to breathe.

"I stood in front of King Qin's gate for two days, and he refused to even see me!" Wang Genzi vented the anger in his heart to the fullest: "In this case, we won't see him." Only the gates of the city were opened, and the king was met! Let King Chuang talk to him! ”

"I didn't want to work for the Zhu family for a long time! Follow the general to meet the king! The family members below clamored one after another, and exerted pressure on the soldiers who refused to express their position.

Wang Genzi glanced at it, and saw that most of the soldiers were still on his side, and no one jumped out to be Zhu Ming's filial son, and said loudly: "I have made an appointment with King Chuang, just wait for the righteous division to beat the war drum three times and the two armies will meet, and we will open the city gate and dedicate the city!" All the brothers who are willing to advance and retreat with my king's roots, wrap a green cloth around their left arm! If you don't want to be a brother, I won't force it, but you don't know each other when you see each other in the future! ”

"I'll follow the general to the death!" The soldiers of the family drew their swords one after another, holding them high and stabbing the sky.

Some of the other soldiers saw the wind and raised their swords to show obedience. The rest of those who can be lowered or not are even more worried that they will be left alone and pulled out to sacrifice the flag, so they also shout and cheer one after another.

For a time, the situation in the city changed, and everyone wore a blue cloth on their left arm.

The news of the surrender of the guards has also spread in the camp, and as long as they reach the city gate, they will be done. Knowing that there was no need to use their lives to fill the city, the morale of the soldiers who broke into the camp was suddenly high, and they were eager to march with drums immediately.

The artillery finally sounded!

Knock, knock, knock!

The drums of war are thundering.

"Kill the thief!" Both armies rushed to each other at the same time, shouting slogans to kill thieves.

Trilda took the lead, and had already seen the black mole on the face of the oncoming cavalry, and the long knife in his hand stabbed out diagonally.

Between the lightning and flint, the two staggered by. Trilda only felt a fierce force coming from the tiger's mouth, and almost got out of his long knife. In an instant, the hot blood splattered on Trilda's face, and the fishy smell filled his nose and made his face numb.

- Kill one!

Trilda let out a breath of white air, and the war horse was already caught in the thief formation, and it was difficult to raise the speed. He looked back at the towering Xi'an City, and shouted loudly: "Kill a thief, reward five taels of silver!" Kill! In the midst of the shouting, Trilda spotted a thief with his back to him, and slashed at the thief's head, and immediately the blood surged.

"Kill!" The Ming soldiers behind him were encouraged and rushed forward one after another, protecting both sides of Trilda.

With two swords in succession, Trirda finally regained the feeling of going into battle to kill the enemy, and was even more bold, and the soldiers who were about to agitate broke through the enemy formation. Suddenly, I heard a frightened cry from behind me: "The gates of the city are open!" Dedication to the city! ”

Dedication of the city!?

Trilda was stunned in her heart, and then she came to her senses, and immediately understood why there had not been a single arrow at the head of the city until now. He scolded loudly: "Wang Genzi! Thief, mother! ”

As if hearing Trierda's curse, a rain of arrows fell on the city wall, and the Ming army suddenly mourned and cried and cursed.

"Toji! Let's go! The soldiers who had caught up with him rushed forward and grabbed the bridle of Trilda's horse.

"Let's go? Where to go? Trirda saw it. What I heard in my ears was that my son-in-law died on the battlefield, and my heart was sad and angry, but my body was emptied.

"Let's go...... My inmortality is not enough to repay the emperor's kindness......" Trilda snatched the horse's head, clamped the horse's belly heavily, and leaped into the enemy's ranks.

He raised his sword in his hand, but slashed into the air, but the flaws exposed on his body were caught by the enemy soldiers, and several spears stabbed him. Knock him off his horse.

"Grab a big one!"

"Don't trample to death!"

"I killed it!"

When Trilda heard Zuihou's words, it turned out to be a kind local accent, and the pain in her body was reduced a lot, until her eyes were completely plunged into darkness.

A quick-eyed barrier stepped forward and chopped off Trilda's head, picked up a spear from the ground, raised it high, and proclaimed, "I killed the enemy general!" The enemy will be killed by me! ”

Seeing that their commander was killed, the Ming army no longer had the slightest will to fight, and fled one after another. The few pro-soldiers who avenged Trirda were also macheted by the enemy in an instant. The Ming army that went out of the city to meet the battle was suddenly annihilated.

The soldiers roared and rushed to the wide open gates. Their whistling was amplified a thousand times by the hollow gates. The entire city of Xi'an was shrouded in this beastly roar.

……

"Sir! Choi commands the battle! Wang Genzi opened the door to dedicate the city! The thieves are coming! ”

Feng Shikong was wearing court clothes, sitting in front of the desk, and on the bookcase was a posthumous watch with ink not dry. He didn't look at this family member, but just stood up, bowed three times facing the east, and then said, "You brought my testament to Jingshi." ”

The family saw this shape. Knowing that Feng Shikong was going to commit suicide and die in the city, sorrow came from it: "Master! Let's go! ”

"Nonsense!" Feng Shikong shouted angrily, but he no longer had the strength to be angry, he just waved his hand, and his voice gradually deepened: "Let's go, let's go." He stepped down in vain. It seems to be fluttering in the wind. In his mind, countless pictures of the past flashed, remembering the title of his gold list, the flower candles in the cave room, until the second grade of the official residence, and the closure of the Guanzhong......

Poof!

Feng Shikong plunged headlong into the well in the courtyard.

- The well water in winter turned out to be warm.

This was Feng Shikong's thoughts, and he immediately fell into an eternal sleep.

……

Huang Jiongguan was sitting in the main hall of his home, and the door was surrounded by soldiers who broke into the camp. These soldiers did not attack the Yellow Mansion, but only besieged it, and no one was allowed to enter or leave.

Moments later, the sound of horses' hooves was heard outside, and the soldier shouted long live, slamming open the gate to let the man in.

Huang Jiong watched the man come in, but saw that it was a strong man wearing a wide-eaves felt hat and a one-eyed tiger, and he was listed with the thief Li Zicheng.

- This is the evil star of the Ming Dynasty!

Huang Jiong said secretly in his heart.

"Master Huang, don't come unharmed." Li Zicheng smiled and said, "As soon as I entered the city, I came to you, how about it?" Wouldn't it be better to be a soldier and a government servant here than to work hard for the Zhu Dynasty? ”

"Haha," Huang Jiong Daxiao said, "You? You're just the thief embryo I killed in Tongguan! Let me surrender to you? I think beautifully! ”

Huang Jiong served as the deputy envoy of the Lingong military garrison, and once mobilized troops to defeat Li Zicheng in Tongguan.

The two of them can also be regarded as old acquaintances in a foreign land - but unfortunately they are enemies.

"Sir!" An old family member rushed out of the back hall, crying sadly: "Grandma threw herself into the well." ”

When Huang Jiong heard that his wife threw himself into the well, he was sad in his heart, and he was relieved. He glanced at Li Zicheng, got up and said, "There is a martyr in the family, can An give it a ride?" ”

Li Zicheng frowned slightly, and wanted to say something to take him away, but thinking that Huang Jiong couldn't fly out of Xi'an, he simply fulfilled him. He had barely turned and taken a few steps when he heard a cry from behind him.

Huang Jiong also threw himself into the well.

It is Chang'an Duoyi Well.

……

Li Zicheng came out of Huang Jiong's house with a heavy heart. He still has respect for the officials of the Zhu Dynasty who can defeat him, but unfortunately most of these people are loyal and righteous people. After he entered Xi'an, he strictly ordered his subordinates not to burn, kill and loot. Today, the people in Xi'an City are closed, the doors of their homes are pasted with Shunmin, and no one is walking on the road, which is already the most orderly state after the city is broken.

Except for the Righteous King, whose army can still do this?

Li Zicheng was quite complacent in his heart, but he was immediately disturbed by Huang Jiong's death with his family. Whether it is him, Niu Jinxing, or Gu Junen, everyone says that Zhu Ming's qi is exhausted, but how can there be so many people who would rather die than surrender! While he was thinking about it, he suddenly stood on his crotch and stopped his footsteps, and it turned out that a group of people had gathered in front of him.

"What's up ahead?" Li Zicheng asked displeasedly.

Li Shuangxi, the general next to him, is also his righteous son and recognized successor, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask. Li Zicheng took a few steps closer to his horse, and saw a human figure hanging from the tall Duanli Gate of the Qin Palace. When I got closer, I saw that someone had hanged himself on the Duanli door.

The man was dressed in a vermilion court robe and wore a beam crown on his head, and when he put it down, he was already dead.

"Who is this?" Li Zicheng's joy after breaking the city was completely defeated.

He was not afraid to see the dead, and he had seen as many dead people as he had.

But he had never been so disgusted by so many dead people.

"Marshal, this is Shi Zhangshang, the head of the Qin Palace." Li Shuangxi quickly ordered someone to find out and came back to report Li Zicheng.

Li Zicheng sighed: "It's a good burial." Is King Qin still there? ”

Zhu Cun, the king of Qin, opened the middle door very much, wearing the crown uniform of Emperor Mingzong, kneeling at the foot of the steps, trembling. (To be continued......)

PS: There is another chapter later~~

I see that I have been doing a lot of discipline recently, so by the way, let's talk a few nonsense. Since the book was newly opened, Xiao Tang has not opened a single chapter to ask for tickets. Today, I saw that a book friend suggested that I open a single chapter, and I was really scared. It's not that I'm not confident in my perseverance, but I realize that some book friends have already put themselves into this book, and this love really makes Xiaotang afraid of letting everyone down. Think about it again the day before yesterday, I sent more than 1,000 yuan to Xiaotang, which is a gift from book friends! If Xiaotang just has the mentality of writing and playing, how can he be worthy of everyone's heart?

Well, it's time to cheer up and lay the ground! Please throw me all the monthly passes, recommendations, clicks, book reviews, starting coins, etc. in your hands!
