Chapter 455: The Heavenly Empire, the State of Etiquette
The entire Thang Long Mansion was in chaos, but in Wang Xuan's opinion, it was indeed chaotic and orderly.
The entire battlefield is divided into three parts, one is at the city gates on all sides, sealing the city gates, occupying the city walls, and completely besieging the entire Shenglong Mansion, second, the big school field, Wang Xuan personally led the team, slaughtering the largest force in the Shenglong Mansion, and third, the Imperial Palace, which is the entire command center of Annan and the north, as long as it is completely taken, the rest of the land is just a plate of scattered sand.
Of course, in Wang Xuan's view, everything is under control, but in the eyes of Zheng Zhu, the ruler of Annan, the end of the world is coming.
Damn, people sit in the palace, and woe comes from heaven.
Woke up by the alarm bell from the arms of the beauty, didn't have time to put on the underwear, put on a coat and hurriedly walked out, the night breeze blew outside, and suddenly felt a chill in the crotch, and the whole person couldn't help but shiver.
Lord Zheng's face was gloomy as water, he looked at the commander of the Praetorian Guard who had a forced composure on his face, and asked in a deep voice: "What's going on outside, why is there an alarm bell ringing, where does this shouting and killing sound come from?" ”
"Time is pressing, my subordinates don't know yet, and I've already asked people to investigate."
Although he was angry in his heart, he also knew that he was not to blame the other party, so Zheng Zhuqiang swallowed his anger and ordered: "Send someone to 'protect' the emperor, don't have an accident." ”
"Don't worry, your subordinates understand, and you will be foolproof."
At this moment, a soldier ran in in embarrassment and immediately knelt down on one knee to report, "Report, the northeast has been attacked, none of the soldiers defending the city have been spared, the east gate has been lost, and the enemy army has entered the city." ”
"What!"
"So fast!"
Lord Zheng and the commander stood up at the same time and exclaimed, "Is it Ruan Shun? ”
The soldier who told the news hesitated, and he couldn't be sure.
"Speak quickly!"
"No, it's not like Ruan Shun, listening to the shout, it seems to be a person from the Ming Dynasty."
"It can't be!"
Lord Zheng and the commander shouted at the same time again, others don't know, they can still not understand, now the Ming Dynasty is not a few decades ago, the entire southwest border, just fighting with the Burmese for more than 40 years will cost a lot of national strength, their side has to organize several plunders to Guangxi and Guangdong every year, all they see are the Ming people, as long as they do not occupy the land, they are all deaf.
Now, when they suddenly heard that it was the Ming army that attacked at night, the two of them naturally didn't believe it.
I don't want to say it, you have to let me say it, and you don't believe it, this Annan soldier slandered in his heart.
"Lie about the military situation, and be beheaded!" The commander of the Praetorian Guard shouted, and was about to draw his sword to kill, but was stopped by Lord Zheng, "Maybe the enemy did it on purpose, just to misunderstand us." ”
"So that's the case, or the king's wisdom." The Commander immediately returned his sword to his sheath and said with admiration.
A smug look appeared on Lord Zheng's face, and then he suddenly remembered,, the city gate has been breached!?
"The enemy army has entered the city? How many? Where is it now? The army in the big camp? Have you ever attacked? What about the other three? A series of questions were thrown, and the soldier who reported the news looked confused, how could I know so much!
Seeing that the soldiers were at a loss, Lord Zheng was furious, "Then don't you go and take a look!" ”
The soldier ran out in a panic, and Zheng Jucai sat down, he was anxious now, why did this news pass so slowly, damn, do you want to kill me in a hurry!
"The king doesn't have to worry too much, the enemy only relied on a surprise night attack to see the work in one fell swoop, and if he can come to our Thang Long Mansion without being discovered, he must not have many troops, so he must not be worried."
Lord Zheng is right to think about it, if there is a large army, it has been discovered a long time ago, how can it be possible to approach Thang Long Mansion quietly, when my men are all dead!?
It must be broken into pieces, and there will be no more people!
"Report!" With a shout, another herald ran in, knelt on the ground with a pop, and shouted loudly: "Report to the king, the big thing is not good, the number of enemy troops is not less than 20,000!" ”
"Fart!" The commander of the forbidden army jumped up from his seat all of a sudden, blushing and looking at the soldier who reported the news, Damn, you were sent by the opposite party to demolish the stage for me! Thinking of this, he quickly stepped forward and grabbed the herald's collar, and shouted loudly: "How can there be so many enemy troops, did it fall from the sky, you dare to lie about the military situation, and you should be beheaded!" ”
With that, he pulled out the saber at his waist again, "Stop!" Lord Zheng's face was ugly, and he spoke again, "Are you sure that the enemy army is no less than 20,000!" ”
The herald was not sure, he was only responsible for delivering the news, but at this moment, in the face of the murderous gaze of the commander of the forbidden army, he would bite to death no matter what, "The villain is sure that the army has entered the city." ”
Lord Zheng's face was pale, he waved his hand to let the herald out, and he didn't say a word, sitting on the cloud couch and continuing to wait for news.
This scene made Tian Boguang and Dingyi Mushroom on the roof on the side unable to hold back their laughter, the two of them were not in a hurry to do it, their task was to ensure that they did not run away here, and when the time came, Wang Xuan would personally lead the troops to clean them up.
"Your Majesty, that, don't worry too much, even if the enemy army really has 20,000 people, it's fine, I have more than 40,000 troops in Thang Long Mansion, just 20,000 people, this Thang Long Mansion is our army's territory, we occupy the geographical advantage, we are twice as many people as the other party, occupy the people, once the dawn, the enemy army loses the cover of the night, there is no sense of mystery, and the time is lost, the time and place are all in the hands of our army, and the enemy army is invincible!" The more the commander of the forbidden army spoke, the more he felt that it made sense, and when he got to the back, his voice became louder and louder, and there was quite a kind of momentum of giving up on me.
Lord Zheng didn't want to deal with the other party, but after listening to it, he also felt that it was such a reason, and his face gradually improved.
"Report!" A shout came from outside the door, and the commander of the forbidden army subconsciously trembled, and a bad premonition came to his mind.
"Report to the king, the west gate has been breached!"
"What!?"
"Report!" Without waiting for Lord Zheng to ask, a herald ran over again.
"Report to the king, the north gate has been breached!"
"Report, report to the king, the south gate has been breached!"
Zheng Zhu sat on the cloud couch, his eyes were a little dull, what the hell is going on, this is just a while, all the four gates have been conquered, there are 20,000 people in the east gate alone, so plus the other three gates?
In this way, can Thang Long still be saved?
No, we have to find a way, we must not sit still!
After sitting for a while, Master Zheng suddenly got up and was about to give orders, but at this moment, a voice sounded outside the door again, "Report!" ”
This 'report' was like a 'funeral', and an aura of despair began to permeate the hall.
"Report, the enemy army raided the Daxiao field, opened a killing ring, and the Daxiaochang was in flames."
“……”
There was silence in the hall, including the big and small courtiers who came over later, they were all desperate at this time, the city was broken, the army was defeated, and now the palace is still safe, but this is not a long-term place at all, it is only a matter of time before it is conquered, now, how is it good?
"Your Majesty!" The commander of the forbidden army stood up again, ignoring the anger in the eyes of the people around him, he also knew that he had some broom stars, but it didn't matter, "Your Majesty, there is a way, leave the green mountains without worrying about no firewood, this is not the time to fight hard, and ask the king to go north to gather the troops of the king of Qin from all over the country, and then the north and south will attack, and this enemy army can be annihilated." ”
What is called going north to rush to the king of Qin's troops, isn't it just running away, it is so high-sounding!
It's all you bastard, broom star, for so long a day, there hasn't been a word right!
Lord Zheng glared at the commander of the forbidden army fiercely, and a wave of anger appeared in his eyes, "I see that you are greedy for life and afraid of death!" ”
was glared at by Lord Zheng, the commander shrank his neck, and quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, "The minister is loyal and thinks about the king, how can he be greedy for life and afraid of death." ”
Looking at the commander who kept kowtowing, Zheng Zhu took a deep breath, at this critical moment, people's hearts were already unstable, and he didn't dare to force it too much, in case these people did something rebellious, it would be bad.
"Lord." At this time, another person came out and said: "Although there are still 10,000 forbidden troops in the palace, the walls of the palace are low, the defense capacity is insufficient, and the army eats horses and chews a lot of consumption. ”
"The minister also agrees, now that the enemy's forces are scattered, and the army has not yet been encircled, if we gather our forces in one place for a surprise attack, we will definitely be able to kill out of the city, and when the time comes, the sky will be high and the sea will be wide, and we will not be controlled by others."
"Time is pressing, the opportunity is fleeting, please think twice!"
Everyone, their eyes are looking towards Lord Zheng, Lord Zheng keeps struggling in his heart, what he said is good, go north to gather King Qin's troops, but he doesn't know how much he can summon, the key is that now the enemy is not determined!
"Please also ask the king to leave quickly, I will stay for the king to break off!"
"Please go quickly!"
For a while, this kind of shouting rang out one after another.
After I leave you?
If I'm leaving, you'll all surrender!
When the time comes, Lao Tzu will become the commander of the light pole, who can especially admit that I am Lord Zheng!
If you want to go, you must also take these civil and military ministers, the reason why the superior is the superior is the superior depends on the strength of the system, and the system is not something that can be formed by one person, it must be a collective, which is also the reason why the emperor has to take the civil and military ministers with him when he escapes.
Running for your life together does not mean that everyone is loyal.
"Everyone, Aiqing, how can Lone abandon everyone and go alone!"
At this moment, he did not hesitate, stood up and shouted to the commander of the forbidden army: "Gather the soldiers and horses in the palace, kill them with Gu, and fight to the death with the enemy!" ”
"Minister, take the order!"
"The king is wise."
The commander of the forbidden army strode out, and it didn't take long for everything to be prepared, and everyone didn't take it seriously when they fought to the death with the enemy, and after the army left the palace, they killed it directly in the direction of the west gate.
As long as these people are still in the city, Tian Boguang will not stop them, of course, he has no ability to stop the tens of thousands of troops, as early as when they began to gather and prepare to retreat, he sent someone to send a message to Wang Xuan.
In the barracks, the killing was basically over, most of the 30,000 people were killed, and only a few thousand people fled from the camp to the city, and now was not the time to chase and kill, Wang Xuan began to gather troops as soon as he received the news, and killed in the direction of the palace.
At the same time, he also ordered the other three directions to be guarded, and he must not let Zheng Zhu's group of people run.
In the final analysis, the quality of Annan's soldiers is too big a gap compared to Wang Xuan's subordinates, this side has just come out of the imperial city, and before they can turn to the west, they will meet Wang Xuan head-on.
Wang Xuan was too lazy to have any communication with them, even if he wanted to communicate, it would be after the fight.
"Kill!" With a loud roar, the military formation neatly began to crush forward.
It is said that there is no problem at all with crushing, even if it has just experienced a bloody massacre, but the long-term training has made Wang Xuanjun's soldiers full of physical strength, at this moment, they can already maintain the queue, and it is very important to maintain the queue in this long-distance march, in the encounter, there is no need to reorganize the team, and the combat power can be played faster and better.
On the other hand, Annan's side, itself was about to flee for his life, and he had already decided that he was defeated, all the way from the palace, if it weren't for the fact that the streets were so wide, the formation would have dispersed a long time ago, and at this moment, the soldiers on both sides collided together and made a judgment.
The pikemen neatly barreled the stabs, and in an instant, the Annan soldiers in the first few rows lay down again, and then, a piercing whistling sound sounded, which was the sound of crossbow arrows fired in the army, and on the street, the Annan troops were next to each other, and they didn't need to aim at all, and a rain of arrows covered them, and they immediately shot down a large area.
The terrible screams before dying rang out in patches, one after the other, without stopping.
After the pikemen, there are sword and shield soldiers, this kind of battlefield that cannot be unfolded in formation, or the sword and shield soldiers are the most useful, one hand steel shield to protect the body, one hand steel knife to kill the enemy, the whole queue is like a black torrent on the reef in general, wave after wave, wait slowly, the reef of the Annan army was washed and shaken, and then began to slowly retreat, the torrent began to become unstoppable, completely washed away the other party.
When Zheng Zhu and the others heard this continuous scream, they knew that the battle had been engaged in front of them, and they all looked forward to killing the enemy army as soon as possible, otherwise, if they were surrounded on the long street, it would be completely over!
The army began to stop slowly, and then slowly retreated, the further back, the more powerful the retreat, hearing the shouting and killing in front of them getting closer and closer, Zheng Zhu and a group of bigwigs in the DPRK and China were already pale, and everyone knew that the general trend had gone.
What you need to break through is a momentum, and once it is intercepted, then there is no possibility of rushing out.
Everyone heard this earth-shattering shouting and killing clearly, and it was indeed a Daming accent, and it was finally possible to confirm that the enemy army was the Daming army.
"It turned out to be the Ming army, the Ming army...... Well, the Ming Dynasty is the kingdom of the Celestial Empire, it is the state of etiquette, and my Dali Dynasty is the country of the Ming Dynasty that is not conquered, and there must be something that makes the Celestial Empire misunderstood, so that there is today's disaster. ”
"Yes, yes, we should meet the envoy of the Ming Dynasty face to face, state our sins face to face, as long as our attitude is sincere, I believe that the people of the Heavenly Empire, benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and faith, will definitely treat us well."
"It makes sense, but I still have to ask the king to walk with us."
"Yes, the king is my Da Li, no, the regent of the Li Dynasty, the kingdom will definitely receive it according to the specifications."
"Please also ask the king to give orders."
When a group of ministers saw that they couldn't do anything, they immediately talked nonsense, at this time, it doesn't matter if Lord Zheng's thoughts are compared with whether everyone can survive, even if they surrender, the weight of their group is not so enough, it must be Lord Zheng taking the lead.
Everyone's eyes were on Lord Zheng.
As for whether Lord Zheng can survive after surrendering, it has nothing to do with them, at least he didn't survive, and it's a big deal to think of a glass of water and wine for Lord Zheng during the New Year's Festival in the future, and it will not be in vain for the monarch and ministers.
I believe that Zheng Zhu will never ignore everyone's realization!
