Chapter 621: The Decisive Battle of Anqing (I)
It was an unexpected but long-planned siege.
If everyone's life must complete a certain mission to be complete, Wang Shouren is completing the mission entrusted to him by history at this moment.
In the dark night, Wang Shouren opened a pair of bright eyes, quietly watching a continuous number of miles of soldiers rushing towards Nanchang City under the night, like a black tide slapping towards the fragile stone bank.
Wang Shouren pressed the hilt of the sword on his waist, his expression was as cold as frost, but he couldn't hide the excitement in his heart.
He didn't think about what kind of high-ranking officials and lords the emperor would reward him in the future, he only felt a sense of sacred mission that he had never had, and captured Nanchang, ended this war as soon as possible, and let the people of the world return to a peaceful life, which seems to be the mission given to him by the gods and Buddhas in the sky.
Today, at this moment, he is drawing a perfect end to his mission.
The drums of war reverberated in the quiet night, and the rhythm of the heart made the heavens and the earth tremble.
The black tide slapped at the Nanchang city wall desperately, and those who did not attach to the city were killed. Those who do not go to the city after the four drums are resting, and they will be killed. This is a military order given to the soldiers by Wang Shouren, the governor of Tinggan before the siege. All the soldiers know that this military order is not just talked, this guy surnamed Wang is ruthless, and he can really do it.
The shouting sound of killing was like a landslide cracking the ground, and one by one slapped behind the tide on the stone bank, the overseer team with a red scarf on his arm held a steel blade in his hand, and his eyes showed a fierce light. No mercy. But inside the towering city wall ahead, there is a splash of merit that seems to be within reach......
Ten thousand armies are attacking the city, and the murderous spirit is full of wilderness. Heaven and earth murmur, mountains and rivers are high.
A siege ladder was quickly erected on the head of Nanchang City, shouting to kill, the soldiers desperately climbed to the top of the city, when they stared at the bloodshot eyes, brandished the steel knife in their hands, ready to fight desperately with the rebels defending the city, a scene unprecedented in the history of ancient and modern warfare appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
The racetrack at the head of Nanchang City is empty. Not a single defender could see it. The four sides of the southeast and northwest of Nanchang were empty and empty, and the anti-army banner representing King Ning on the arrow tower at the head of the city was also missing......
The soldiers who climbed to the top of the city were stunned, and the shouts of killing that spread through the sky instantly stopped, and everyone stared blankly at the city tower that was easy to climb in front of them. Like falling clouds.
This...... It's a city without any defenses. As long as the soldiers are willing. They can swagger and walk in with ease.
The fourth war drum rumbled, and the soldiers on the city tower turned around and shouted in the direction of the military formation outside the city: "Knock what knock! Save your energy! There's no one on the damn castle floor! ”
"Nanchang, it's ours!"
The drums of war came to an abrupt end. After the dead silence, a burst of cheers suddenly erupted from the city and outside the city, and on the city, countless soldiers who were ready to fight for wealth and wealth with their lives happily hugged the robes, and roared loudly in their hearts, venting the tension and determination that had just accumulated in their hearts.
In the cheers, the east gate of Nanchang City quietly opened, and two white-haired old men dressed in people's cloth knelt in the center of the open city gate, and said loudly and respectfully and fearfully: "The people of Nanchang City greet the rebel king!" ”
…………
…………
After the resolute siege battle, Zhu Chenhao's lair was occupied without much effort, and even Wang Shouren himself did not expect this result.
Nanchang is not an undefended empty city, Zhu Chenhao fought a decisive battle with the imperial court, although most of the troops of Nanchang were transferred, but still left more than 10,000 defenders. It's just that Wang Shouren underestimated his lack of morality too much, and he didn't know how powerful the public opinion warfare and psychological warfare were.
The spies who infiltrated Nanchang City first made the first contribution to the occupation of Nanchang City, they disguised themselves as ordinary people and wandered in the streets and alleys of Nanchang, taking advantage of the anti-army patrolling the city to put up a few slogans and scatter a few leaflets, in less than two days, Nanchang City went down to the streets and alleys of the market, and went up to the prefect's yamen and Ning Wang's mansion, all knew that Wang Shouren blew the big cowhide, and knew that the war in front of King Ning was unfavorable, and the imperial court had accumulated the strength to quell the rebellion, and the 300,000 troops would soon come to Nanchang City......
As a result, more than 10,000 defenders in the city were tired and did not love, and ran clean in two days, even the ordinary prefect yamen and inspection soldiers threw down their weapons and ran, and the whole Nanchang city could not find a dog patrolling on behalf of the government before Wang Shouren's army arrived, and it was all up to a few respected gentry and elders to maintain the daily affairs of the city spontaneously.
The actual reason for the easy occupation of Nanchang City is that Wang Shengren blew down the most sincere, most frightening and most immoral cowhide since ancient times, and this cowhide scared away more than 10,000 defenders of Nanchang City.
On the day when Wang Shouren occupied Nanchang without a single soldier, he galloped out of the city on a fast horse and ran in the direction of the camp in Anqing......
*******************************************************************
On the same day that the old nest was destroyed by Wang Shouren, who inexplicably appeared out of nowhere, Zhu Chenhao's 60,000 infantry army and 40,000 sailors finally arrived fifty miles outside Anqing City, and confronted the 200,000 rebel Wang Shi of the imperial court.
There is no way to avoid the decisive battle!
In the same room, one surname is an enemy, one person's ambition, more than a hundred years of grievances, and today it is finally time to break.
Regardless of whether others want to or not, Zhu Chenhao's ambition has arbitrarily bet the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers on the gambling table, this bet, gambling on the ownership of the country and the luck of the country.
On the twenty-third day of September in the third year of Zhengde, Zhu Chenhao's rebel army and the imperial court counterinsurgency Wang Division finally opened a decisive battle outside Anqing City.
…………
…………
The war drums rumbled, the horses hissed, the flags were like a forest, and the air ran through Changhong.
Pieces of armor reflected a dazzling silver light in the morning sun, and a steel blade shone thick with blood in the morning breeze.
The two armies are facing each other three miles apart, and a big battle is about to break out!
Zhu Chenhao put on the armor of Mingguang, rode on the horse and looked at the distance in the distance. The neat military formation that did not leave a single gap, feeling the fierce murderous aura they emanated from their bones, Zhu Chenhao's heart suddenly sank to the bottom.
Wang Shi is the king master in the end, with the momentum of sweeping everything, and what stands in front of Zhu Chenhao seems to be an unclimbable mountain, which completely cuts off his ambition in front of Anqing City, and can no longer spread a step forward.
Looking at the strict enemy phalanx in front of him, Zhu Chenhao's cheeks twitched a few times, forced himself to suppress the fear and uneasiness in his heart, and slowly took a breath against the cold morning breeze.
He can still gamble once. The last time in this life. That's Zhu Houzhao's life and death!
If Zhu Houzhao is really dead, no matter how strict the phalanx is, it will be just a paper tiger to him, and it will be broken if he pokes it, if Zhu Houzhao is not dead......
Zhu Chenhao shook his head. He didn't dare to think about it anymore.
He threw a glance at the general Ling Shiyi. Zhu Chenhao stood in the Chinese army with his arms in his arms. Slowly closing his eyes without moving, no one could see what he was thinking at the moment, only from his trembling eyelids could see how frightened he was. Disturbed.
Ling Shiyi, who was wearing armor and holding a mountain opening broadsword, received the look, and immediately rode his horse to the front army, and reined in the front of the front army, and pulled a beautiful knife flower in the air, and then exhaled in a deep voice and shouted: "Faint Jun Zhengde has died violently in the army, don't you still know?" More than 100 years ago, Emperor Yongle made a heavy promise to King Ning, and the country was ruled together. ”
Ling Shiyi's words still played a certain role, if it was just a few rumors that hit the enemy's morale before the battle, but many soldiers in the Anqing camp knew that the emperor had not shown up since he came back from Tianzhu Mountain, and no one had ever seen him again. It's just that Ning Guogong and a group of noble ministers forcibly suppressed the news and kept it secret......
Everyone knows that the emperor has no heirs, he has only been on the throne for three years, and he has not yet decided on the crown prince. Who is rebellious and who is orthodox?
The moment Ling Shiyi finished speaking, the Wang Division's army formation began to loosen and riot, and the morale of the army was obviously turbulent.
Zhu Chenhao saw that Ling Shiyi's words actually played a role, and his eyes couldn't help but brighten, looking around, although there was a Ming and Yellow Dragon Banner representing the emperor in the enemy's military array, but the emperor's Luan and Yiying emperor's honor guard were gone, and there was only a young man in a python robe riding on a horse with an expressionless face, quietly looking into the distance.
This young man in a python robe turned out to be Qin Kan.
Zhu Chenhao was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed, and his whole body trembled slightly.
Could it be ...... Was Zhengde really stabbed to death? Heaven helps this king also!
Turning his head and throwing an extremely appreciative and excited look at Ling Shiyi, Zhu Chenhao shouted: "Li Shishi stepped forward!" ”
Li Shishi rode his horse to Zhu Chenhao, bowed down on the horse, and when he raised his head, his expression was as excited as Zhu Chenhao.
"Mr. Li, you quickly step forward to persuade the enemy army to surrender, tell them that Zhengde is dead, and this king is the real destiny, tell them to put down their weapons, and this king should be rewarded heavily after he ascends ......the throne."
Before he finished speaking, Zhu Chenhao, who was ecstatic, seemed to be choked by a pair of invisible big hands, and the words stopped abruptly, and his ecstatic face quickly became puzzled, and then Tie Qing, ugly, as if swallowing a fly alive.
I saw that in the turbulent Wang Shijun array, two rows of armored warriors holding jade Ruyi, golden gourd, golden hammer, scepter, knot boring and other emperor's honor guards separated the crowd from the military formation, and opened up an empty avenue, and then, at the end of the empty avenue, a snow-white and dazzling white horse slowly approached, on horseback, wearing golden armor, Zhu Houzhao, who was equipped with a Longquan sword at his waist, looked proud, slightly hooked the corners of his mouth, and kicked the horse's belly unhurriedly, and walked towards the front of the military formation.
In the army formation where the morale of the army was turbulent, the generals and soldiers opened their eyes wide, looking at the young emperor who got along day and night, with familiar eyebrows and eyes, familiar noble temperament, and a familiar slightly frivolous smile on the corner of his mouth......
In front of the three armies, after a short silence among the soldiers, a burst of cheers suddenly broke out that resounded through the sky, and the chaotic cheers turned into neat mountain shouts.
"My Emperor is mighty! The king wins! ”
