"I'm so stubborn, I knew this was the case, so I didn't have to be so troublesome, I was busy for a while."

I don't know who burst into such a sentence, and when he said the same thing as everyone, he also broke the peace, and some people muttered: "~ This is definitely the best of the past." I've never seen such a defender of the city, it really blinded my dog's eyes! ”

Following everyone's gaze, where is there a soldier on the city wall?

Only one by one scarecrows stood there, all dressed in the military uniforms of the Ming army, and the weapons were either inserted in the waist of the scarecrow, or stood aside, clasped in the palm of the scarecrow, in the dark, at first glance, it really looked like a Ming army soldier, stupid and unclear.

If it weren't so close, in such dim light, it would be impossible to make out at all!

A person came to Li Laiheng's side, looked at the scarecrows who looked like real people with strange expressions, and asked in a low voice, "General, what should we do next?" Such a strange situation, is there some conspiracy of the Ming army? ”

Li Laiheng had already woken up from his surprise, and did not pay attention to the reply, but glanced around again, with a thoughtful look on his face, touched his chin, muttered for a moment, seemed to have figured out something, nodded his head slightly, and then replied very firmly: "No, if my expectations are correct, it should be the emperor's deterrence in the morning that played a role, scaring these defenders to slip away at night." ”

As soon as he said that, he seemed to feel that he was speaking too absolutely, and then added: "Moreover, even if there is any conspiracy, it is impossible to succeed, the emperor is only two miles away from here, and under the gallop of fast horses, it will not take a moment to pour into the city and control the north gate, under absolute strength, all conspiracies are in vain." ”

"Also, once the city gate is opened, with the huge impact of the cavalry, as long as you enter the city gate, the Ming army can't stop it if you want to, let alone any conspiracy." The person next to him echoed, nodded slightly, and then asked, "In that case, General, what should we do next?" ”

Hearing this, Li Laiheng had a speechless urge to ask Cangtian, and wanted to scold his mother, but he still held back, and still said with some impatience: "Do you still need me to teach you?" Give out the signal, open the city gate, and welcome the emperor and them into the city! ”

"Yes, General!"

When the man responded, he looked at Li Laiheng's expression again, and realized that his question was too idiotic, didn't he come here to receive the emperor and them into the city?

Such a great time, of course, is to act immediately, how can an idiot not know what to do?

In the camp of the Dashun army, everyone was ready for battle, ready to go, and waiting for Li Zicheng's order.

At this moment, Li Zicheng was riding on a horse, motionless, and his deep eyes were always staring at the opposite side.

"Your Majesty, has something happened to Li Laiheng? It's been so long, why hasn't there been any movement in the direction of the city gate? ”

Liu Fangliang was so anxious that he scratched his head, boredom riding back and forth, as soon as the words fell, before Li Zicheng could answer, Liu Fangliang suddenly became energetic, guided the direction of the capital with his right hand, and said excitedly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, look, look, Li Laiheng's action has been successful, and he has controlled the north gate of Nanjing City!" ”

I saw that above the north gate of Nanjing City, the flames were soaring into the sky, and the fire balls were exuding bright light, blazing, the smoke was steaming, and it was constantly diffusing to the surroundings, and the city gate was even more open, and the torches illuminated it brightly, so that everyone could see it clearly.

Looking at this scene, Li Zicheng had a trace of doubt in his heart, feeling a little strange, Li Laiheng's movements were too calm, and there was not the slightest sound of fighting, which really made people's hearts empty.

Although he had already made a decision in his heart, out of prudence, Li Zicheng looked at Tian Jianxiu on the side, and said solemnly: "Marshal Tian, you stay here, once there is any abnormal situation at the city gate, don't have any scruples, you immediately carry out artillery bombardment, blow up a gap in the city wall, and the army will all charge!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, the last general will be ordered!"

Tian Jianxiu agreed, but before he reacted too much, he saw Li Zicheng looking at Liu Fangliang and ordered: "Big head Liu, come with me, lead all the cavalry, and take the North City Gate for me!" ”

"Okay, Your Majesty!"

Before the words fell, as soon as the others reacted, they wanted to stop Li Zicheng from taking risks, but the others had already rushed out, like an arrow off the string, and rushed out in an instant, Liu Fangliang followed, constantly waving the horsewhip, speeding forward, and muttering in his mouth: "It's really strange, it's already this time, where did Li Laiheng get so much dry firewood?" ”

Tian Jianxiu was anxious, so anxious that he just wanted to chase after him and chase Li Zicheng back, when he thought of Li Zicheng's order just now, he immediately stopped, hesitated in a dilemma, and finally could only shout: "Marshal Liu, you must protect the emperor's safety!" Once the emperor makes a slight mistake, you will come to see you! ”

"Okay, I got ......"

In the rumbling sound of thousands of galloping horses, Liu Fangliang really heard it, and instinctively replied, but his heart was turned over one by one, and he was full of excitement, and then he reacted, Li Zicheng is the lord of an army, the emperor of the Dashun Dynasty, and he is the body of ten thousand gold, and if he misses a little, he is a sinner through the ages, and he is sorry for the brothers of the whole army, and he cannot be redeemed by a hundred deaths!

As soon as he thought of this, the movements in Liu Fangliang's hands sped up a few points, constantly beating the war horse, speeding up, and at the same time bursting out: "Everyone obeys the order to protect the emperor's safety, if the emperor is missing a hair, I want your head!" ”

"Yes, Marshal!"

After responding one after another, I saw that the vanguard troops all increased their speed, and soon protected Li Zicheng in the center, and they couldn't let go of their horses and gallops at all, so they could only watch one soldier surpass them and go straight to Nanjing City.

Although it was a distance of two hundred meters, under the gallop of horses, in less than a minute, the cavalry of the Dashun army had already poured into the city, and Li Zicheng even rode a horse to stop on the side of the aisle, and ordered: "Liu Toutou, immediately divide two thousand soldiers, all of them dismount for me, control the city gatehouse, and tell Tian Jianxiu that they can enter the city." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Although Liu Fangliang's heart was reluctant, he also knew the importance of the city gate, so he didn't fight for anything, and then turned over and dismounted, with two thousand soldiers, and climbed on the top of the city. Originally, I thought that if I wanted to take the city gate, I would have to fight. ”

"Hehe... Marshal Liu, this is all the luck of the last general, the result of everyone's joint efforts, the last general will not dare to be greedy for heaven! ”

"Haha... I didn't expect that Laiheng, at a young age, would know how to be so modest. ”

......

Between the two of them, when the soldiers took over the city defense, Liu Fangliang noticed the fire on the aisle at the head of the city, the scarecrow that was burning one by one, there were some surprises, and he pointed to the fire balls with an unnatural expression, and asked in a somewhat unfavorable voice: "Lai Heng, what's going on?" Why are there so many of these things? ”
