Chapter 660: Crisis Relief and Triumph
Zhu Henghe was shouting at the guards of Andingmen and asked them to convey Zhu Chengyi:
"For the sake of the king who killed the anti-king with his own hands, I hope the emperor can let him live!"
This is the first time he has opened his mouth to admit Zhu Chengyi's identity.
"This king is willing to submit to the emperor, please convey it quickly."
However, the Yan'an army had no intention of giving him this opportunity, and seeing that the Liaojiang army was further weakened in battle, they launched one onslaught after another.
The Liaojiang army can only bite the bullet.
Zhu Henghe gave the final breakout order......
Zhu Yonghao could never have imagined that he distorted his whole face, his eyes bulging out in shock, and when he still retained the last bit of consciousness, he couldn't even see the blue sky and the scorching sun above his head, and what he saw in front of him was a terrifying scene:
After the Liaojiang army charged with all its might, they could no longer care about him who was lying on the ground near death, lying in the middle of the team. Later, the hooves of the horses that came up could not get around him, so they just got down, or straddled, or stepped on......
Countless horses' hooves trampled on him.
His face, his limbs, his chest, were stepped on and on. Even the dagger on his chest was kicked away, bringing up a string of blood beads......
It's not just a pain, it's a shame...... Even the cattle are trampling him!
He almost became the emperor! ……
No one knows when Zhu Yonghao took his last breath. In short, after the cavalry, countless infantry stepped on him. No one knows whether everyone was unable to hold back or deliberately vented their hatred, and in the end, this royal concubine who had a lot of ups and downs finally ended up being trampled into a pulp and not even saving the whole corpse......
Naturally, there is no suspense about the outcome of the battle.
When the elite soldiers in Beijing joined the encirclement of the Liaojiang Army, it was doomed that Zhu Henghe would not even have the last chance to resist. After the officers and soldiers of the city wall also shouted to emphasize the holy mantra, as long as they surrendered, they could be lightly punished and returned to the Liaojiang River, more and more Liaojiang soldiers took the initiative to throw their weapons to surrender and were obediently captured.
And Zhu Henghe finally rushed out when the wall of fire in Andingmen gradually burned out.
He ran fifty miles in one breath with nearly 10,000 Jingwei who had escaped.
He thought that as long as he ran farther, Yan Anjun was in a hurry to return to Yan'an, and Zhu Chengyi was in a hurry to stabilize the situation in Beijing as soon as he took office, and he would definitely not chase after him.
As long as he can escape back to Liaojiang, he will be able to take a breather and recuperate. In the eyes of the imperial court, the Liaojiang River belongs to the poor mountains and bad waters, but it is not a bone to gnaw, and it is not easy to launch an army to take it......
However, Zhu Henghe's sweet dream soon woke up.
On the way east, a large team suddenly came to me.
When he went to the high place to observe, Zhu Henghe almost wanted to cry.
More than 30,000 people stood in front of them, like a slap in the face.
It turned out that it was the reinforcements gathered by several Davids in Gyeonggi. They have not arrived for a long time, not because it is difficult for the dragons to integrate without a leader, but because they have long stopped at the entrance of the capital to the Liaojiang River, waiting for some people to throw themselves into the net......
In the Gyeonggi guards, the elite main forces were all transferred out when Gyeongnam and Yan'an went to war, so almost one-third of the troops were left in each guard, and after gathering together, they only barely managed to get together 30,000 people. It also contains 10% of the reserve troops, and the actual combat effectiveness is not strong.
Several commanders had already followed most of the troops to the expedition, so the soldiers led by the guards were the second-in-command and third-in-command who had recently been promoted. At this moment, according to Jingzhong's instructions, after integrating their forces, they had no requirements for the next move, and they were at a loss and did not know who should be the commander-in-chief and where to start.
These guards have not fought for many years, and they suddenly took on the heavy task of rescuing Jingzhong, and it is false to say that they are not panicking. The commanders also lacked combat experience, so the group assembled in the entanglement the day before yesterday, and was about to march west the next day, but someone visited the camp at night. The person who came was King Yan'an.
The arrival of King Yan'an made them feel relieved.
King Yan'an was originally a big hero in the hearts of many people. And their character, reputation and ability are even more convincing to them.
At this moment, King Yan'an, who can speak well and is willing to take on heavy responsibilities, only a few words made everyone look to him.
King Yan'an expressed his willingness to take the Yan'an army to take the lead, and would cooperate with the encirclement and suppression of the Liaojiang army in Beijing. And the 30,000 of them, as a reserve army, stood at the throat of the Liaojiang River, choking the other party's retreat.
If the Yan'an army succeeds, they will outflank them. There are Yan'an troops in the west and north, the capital in the south, and their coalition forces in the east, so they can make dumplings for each other.
If the Yan'an army and Jingzhong are defeated, their combined army can also be used as a dark force to secretly attack the Liaojiang army! ……
Without mentioning the idea first, it was very good, but someone was willing to come forward, and all the commanders nodded.
It is precisely because of this that the reinforcements of the guard station have not been seen for a long time.
And the Liaojiang army was able to run so far in one go, because King Yan'an deliberately did not do his best in the pursuit, and deliberately gave the Weisu coalition army a chance to train and make meritorious contributions.
When the Yan'an army and the Jing soldiers arrived from behind, the two armies had already experienced a confrontation.
The Liaojiang army was tired and small, so it was naturally not an opponent. At this moment, if you are surrounded like this, you are powerless to return to the sky.
Zhu Henghe threw away the long knife, took off his armor, and walked towards Zhu Chengyi step by step.
Ten feet away, he knelt down.
"There are thousands of mistakes, it is the minister who is blinded by power, and the minister is willing to apologize with death. But I beg the emperor to spare the thousands of soldiers behind his ministers and all the captured Liaojiang soldiers. Most of them just follow orders, they are all warriors who defend their families and the country, many of them also have meritorious deeds, and the emperor is merciful, but he begs them to be lightly punished, at least let them live. ”
Zhu Henghe kowtowed three times, then turned around and bowed to the Liaojiang soldiers behind him.
"It's the king who can't stop you! This king can only take you to defend the country in the next life! ”
As soon as the words fell, Zhu Henghe was already spitting blood from his mouth and lying on his back. It turned out that when he found that he was at the end of his rope, he had already taken poison. This is the most dignified way to die, and it is also the best way to save the whole body.
Zhu Henghe just died.
Two of his lieutenants also committed suicide.
All the Liaojiang soldiers surrendered.
The incident of the "Three Kings Rebellion" was put to rest.
The capital is relieved.
The whole capital was boiling.
The prestige of the new emperor Zhu Chengyi was unprecedentedly high, the royal family was convinced, the officials surrendered, and the people supported it.
Countless people poured out of the city to celebrate the relief and triumph.
King Yan'an was worried about his homeland, and only resigned after handing over a group of sturdy war horses to the officers and soldiers in Beijing outside the city, and he said that he would use the fastest speed to help General Yu, and the two armies worked together to let the Tartars know that they were powerful, so that they would not dare to invade again for a hundred years.
From the officials to the people, they all admired Yan Anjun, sent them off, and gave the greatest encouragement and blessings.
Kyochu also began to deal with the aftermath.
