Chapter 380: Between the Imperial City and the Outer City

What kind of situation is a desperate situation?

Mo Dengying felt that his current situation was a desperate situation, but he didn't know that in the place where he couldn't see, there was a pair of eyes staring at him, and he said, "It's okay." ”

For a while, I don't know how many torches were in the city, lit up. Along with the torches at the head of the castle, countless arrows fell like raindrops.

Caught up with the nearest Yongjun, these Yongjuns couldn't reach the fire, and many people were shot and killed in a row.

The sound of tinkling gold was heard.

Yongjun is Zhu Houhuang's life-root, how can he let his subordinates have too many casualties. As soon as he saw this situation, he felt that there was an ambush and immediately asked people to withdraw.

The palace door slowly opened in front of Mo Dengying's eyes.

Several guards pulled Mo Dengying in, and as soon as he entered, he said, "Shizi, Your Highness wants to see you." ”

Mo Dengying's heart trembled, how much he didn't want to see Mo Dengyong at this moment, but now this situation is not something he can refuse. He had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow the guards up the tower.

This city tower Mo Dengying is no stranger.

Vietnam imitates everything in the Central Plains, he remembers that when he was a child, every fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the emperor would lead hundreds of civil and military officials to watch the lanterns here, and he remembered that the entire square in front of the city tower was full of red lanterns at that time.

It's just that the government of Annan is getting more and more chaotic day by day. It's been a long time since I've had such a grand event.

When he had ascended the tower, he saw at a glance that the man standing at the top of the city was not his father or someone. He fell to his knees with a thud, walked forward on his knees, and said, "Son, I have seen my father, and the child is not doing well, so I ask my father to punish him." ”

Mo Dengyong swept Mo Dengying with a cold gaze, and he said coldly: "If you weren't my son, I wouldn't see you again at all, only your head again." ”

When Mo Dengying heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Mo Dengyong can have today's status, all by marching and fighting, in the management of the army, Mo Dengyong has a set, his biggest characteristic of governing the army is strict.

So to speak.

After Mo Dengying lost the battle, the biggest reason why he didn't dare to come to see Mo Dengyong was that he was afraid that Mo Dengyong would punish him properly.

Fortunately, Mo Dengying is still open to his son.

"Tell me, what's going on?" Mo Dengyong asked coldly.

In fact, he has just arrived.

According to his original intention, at 10 p.m. this afternoon, he should have arrived in Thang Long. It's just that he underestimated the impact of several days of rapid marching on the soldiers' bodies.

Although it was repaired for a few days, it still did not fully recover.

The speed of the march was also affected. Before dark, I'm afraid I won't be able to reach Shenglong. It's just that outside Thang Long City, it is not cost-effective to set up camp, and the most important thing is that Mo Dengyong is worried about how Mo Dengying is doing.

I don't know if it's a hunch, but after he arranged things, he always felt uneasy these days.

So Mo Dengyong made a decision that ordinary generals couldn't do, that is, marching overnight.

Because there was a large number of night blindness in the ancient army, the night marching and fighting were all old and difficult combat orders, and the general army could not implement them at all. And in the night, it is too easy to have accidents, maybe in the night, there are people who collapse without a fight.

But Mo Dengying couldn't wait, he left the large group of men and horses behind, only brought 3,000 men and horses, marched from the west gate overnight, and stationed in the palace.

Mo Dengyong actually didn't come too late, an hour ago, he had already arrived. Mo Dengyong let the soldiers and horses rest, but before he could repair for an hour, the chaos in the city woke up Mo Dengyong.

At first, Mo Dengyong thought that Mo Dengying was acting according to the plan, but when the sound of shouting and killing was deafening, and the sound of muskets came above the east gate, Mo Dengyong understood that things had changed.

Mo Dengyong immediately called everyone up.

However, after a difficult day of trekking, he did not rest at night, and calculated the time, and when the sun came out, he planted at eight or nine o'clock in the evening, and trekked for more than ten hours in a row. I've been exhausted for a long time.

So as soon as they rest, many people immediately fall asleep.

So the time to assemble is a bit slow. After Mo Dengyong gathered everyone, it was like this. I only came to save Mo Dengying, as for what happened? What went wrong, Mo Dengyong didn't know at all.

Mo Dengying told Mo Dengyong everything one by one, knowing that he would say it in detail, and those who didn't know would simply say that he didn't know, and said it honestly, and then lowered his head and stopped talking.

Mo Dengyong glanced at Mo Dengying, and he still recognized Mo Dengying's honest attitude. The smarter people are, the more they like honest people, and I don't know why.

Mo Dengyong said: "Zheng Zixuan, an old horseman, is going to get this for Gu when he is dying." ”

Mo Dengying cautiously asked Mo Dengyong and said, "Father, what should I do?" ”

Mo Dengyong glared at Mo Dengying fiercely and said, "What should I do?" Stabilize them first? ”

Fighting a war is physical work. In the darkness, Mo Dengyong couldn't see clearly how many people the Ming army came, but from the perspective of his expectation of the enemy's leniency, there were at least 10,000 people who entered Shenglong City today. If there are tens of thousands, maybe there are tens of thousands.

And Mo Dengyong himself only has 3,000 tired soldiers, how to fight this battle, naturally stabilize them first and bring in the soldiers in the camp outside the city. And then make a plan.

Mo Dengyong didn't know, just when he was shocked about the things in front of him. Zhu Houhuang also fell into the long exam, and he thought silently: "Where are the soldiers on the upper floor of this city?" Why did they just sit on the sidelines? ”

The figures on the city were in a hurry, and in the darkness, Zhu Houhuang judged how many soldiers came. It's just that he wondered, why didn't these people go out when they had just moved the city into chaos?

In the entire Thang Long Mansion, there should be more than 10,000 soldiers and less than 20,000 soldiers.

Most of them were stationed at the head of the city, and there were probably thousands of people stationed at the city alone. There are also shifts, there should be about 10,000 people, and the rest are the reserves in the hands of Mo Dengying, or mobile troops.

And most of the people Zhu Houhuang faced were Mo Dengying's mobile troops, and these thousands of people were the best equipped and highest-paid people in Thang Long City.

Mo Dengying did not alarm the army stationed on the city wall, and divided his direct mobile troops into two parts, one part was led by Mo Dengying himself, and they were preparing to ambush Zhu Houhuang in the southern city. The other is generally led by Ruan Shien to clear the Zheng family.

There was no army in the city, the only thing was the soldiers on the walls of the imperial city.

So Mo Dengyong wanted to figure out the reality in the imperial city.

"Your Highness, this is the new patriarch of the Zheng clan, Zheng Huaixing." Wu Fengyi introduced Zhu Houhuang.

Now but the matter is over. was about to be rewarded for meritorious deeds, Wu Fengyi immediately came to Zhu Houhuang, wanting Zhu Houhuang to give Zheng Huaixing a promise to appease the Zheng family.

How could Zhu Houhuang not understand what Wu Fengyi meant, after so many years, Zhu Houhuang's wrists have become more and more mature. As soon as he saw Zheng Huaixing coming, he almost took a few steps forward and bowed deeply.

As soon as Zheng Huaixing saw this formation, he immediately knelt on the ground and said, "How can the minister bear such a great gift from His Highness?" ”

"How can I not bear it, today this king is ordered by the Son of Heaven to eradicate the rebellious ministers and thieves. If there is no help from the Zheng family, I am afraid that this Shenglong City will not be able to enter, Zheng Lao's great achievements, this king has also heard about it, I hope Zheng Qing will mourn, don't forget the loyalty of the old man. Zhu Houhuang said sincerely.

At the mention of his dead father, Zheng Huaixing's eyes were red, the reason why he only came here now was because he had just arrived at the south gate and saw Zheng Zixuan, the old patriarch of the Zheng clan who was shot into a hornet's nest. Tears flowed again. said: "Father, thank you for the praise of His Royal Highness King Yong, and I can get a word of praise from His Royal Highness King Yong." The ancestor can also smile at Jiuquan. ”

Zheng Huaixing This was a vague gesture, signaling Zhu Houhuang to give Zheng Zixuan a nickname. But Zhu Houhuang didn't learn and didn't know how to do it, so he didn't hear what Zheng Huaixing said at all.

In fact, Zheng Zixuan should not be given the nickname by Zhu Houhuang. There should be a little emperor of Annam to convene the ministers of the Ministry of Rites to discuss the name, and finally issue it with a holy decree.

But the little emperor of Annam now has no authority at all. The Zheng family also boarded the big ship of King Yong, and it is also obvious who is the future master of the Zheng family. So this nickname, Zheng Huaixing hinted that King Yong came to take it, but it was actually a kind of obscure refuge.
