Wang Shouren, who was anxious and commanded the soldiers and horses to storm the city wall, quickly got the report, first he didn't believe it, and after the news was confirmed, he suddenly felt crying and laughing. The siege of the city by the army on this side was difficult, and the price of thousands of people was paid, but the progress was weak, if it was not for the unwillingness to pay so much price and get nothing, Wang Shouren wanted to order the withdrawal of troops immediately. But who would have thought that the south gate was actually open, how can this be reasonable?

This is too unacceptable, what kind of ghost are the rebels in the city doing, how can there be such negligence?

But in any case, the city gate has been opened, and what kind of ghost city wall is being attacked, although some generals wondered whether it was the rebels playing tricks to lure the enemy deep into Yunyun, Wang Shouren laughed and said: "Lure the enemy? Even if it's a sinkhole, we're going to jump. If they dare to play this kind of trick, I, Wang Shouren, am willing to take the bait. Summoned Wang Lun, quickly occupied the city gate, and the army waved into the city. ”

Facts have proved that this is not at all a strategy of the rebels to lure the enemy, and when Wang Lun rushed through the city gate with thousands of soldiers and horses, he did not encounter any resistance at all. The elite archers and firecrackers above the city gate tower were still idle, but suddenly a large number of officers and soldiers rushed in, and they didn't understand what was going on, they just shot down desperately, but those officers and soldiers appeared in the square inside the city gate in an instant, and everyone was dumbfounded.

Wan Rui almost spit out a mouthful of old blood when he got the news, and roared angrily: "Who can guard the city gate?" How could such a mistake occur? Lao Tzu wanted to cut off his head as a urinal. ”

Qianhu, a rebel guarding the city gate who arrived in a hurry, pleaded with a sad face: "The conscience of heaven and earth, the city gate that the lowly duty personally led people to close has eighteen iron bolts, added twenty gate posts, and put nine Zhanger and nine horses in the city gate hole, how could such a thing happen, and the lowly post is also confused." ”

Wan Rui kicked him over and roared, "Kill them and drive them out of the city." ”

The rebels under their command were already exhausted from defending the city, when the officers and soldiers poured in from the city gate, their hearts were already half cold, and the reason why they could support it hard was because of the strong city defense, and now the enemy army has entered the city, and the city defense is equivalent to nothingness, and it can be said that the city of Nanchang has been broken. To fight hard now is to fight more hand-to-hand with less, and that is to seek self-defeat.

"How. How dare you disobey military orders? Wan Rui jumped like thunder, brandished a big knife and roared: "Whoever dares to disobey the military order, Lao Tzu will cut him." ”

"Dangchang!" A general threw down the blade in his hand, and it was Sun Shiping, the former guerrilla general of the Nanchang General Military Office.

"Sun Heizi, what are you doing?" Wan Rui said angrily.

Sun Shi said calmly: "General, we are defeated, if we fight with them hand-to-hand, we will give the lives of our brothers in vain." Let's go down. ”

Wan Rui shouted angrily and swung his knife to cut away, Sun Shiping dodged away, pointed at Wan Rui and shouted: "Wan Rui, are you really fucking chopping?" Lao Tzu was originally the soldiers and horses of the court, and we became rebels when the prince rebelled, so I became the people of Wanfu. That's it, you were originally the guard of the palace, and the prince's nepotism made you a bird general, and now that the city is broken, we have done our best, but you want us to die. Brothers, our family is still in the city, and if we fight to the death, it will inevitably affect my wife and children, so I won't do it. If any of you are willing to give your life, you can go by yourself, Lao Tzu is going to surrender, even if he is beheaded by the court, at least hold on to his family's life. ”

"If you don't do it, we won't do it anymore." The soldiers threw down their bows and arrows and shouted, these people were originally soldiers and horses of the imperial court, and they were forced to become rebel soldiers, and now after the city was broken, Sun Shiping's words were also in the center, and they suddenly became noisy.

Wan Rui's face was pale, knowing that today's situation was irretrievable, seeing that tens of thousands of officers and soldiers in the city gate had all entered the city, several teams of officers and soldiers had already marched towards the streets in the city, and the other soldiers and horses were blocking the streets leading to the city gate, and soon after, the yamen in the city would be occupied by officers and soldiers, and the city gates in all directions would be isolated.

Wan Rui also understands that although ordinary soldiers can pick on their sons, they will never surrender, and even if they surrender, they will not be forgiven, because he is the main force of the rebellion with the prince. In an instant, he suddenly resented Zhu Chenhao, he had been living a good and happy life, but he wanted to do such a rebellious thing, but now he is good, and he can't live. At this time, Wan Rui forgot one thing, a few days ago, Zhu Chenhao personally ordered him to evacuate Nanchang, it was he himself who wanted to be a hero and a hero, and he wanted to show his way, so that he could lead to today's consequences, and this account actually had to be counted on his own head.

"In that case, I won't force it, and the brother who is willing to rush out with me will come with me." Wan Rui strode high, raised his broadsword in his hand, roared angrily, and rushed down the stairs behind the city wall.

There were really hundreds of soldiers who lacked eyes and followed him to rush down, Wan Rui came to the city, all the shaking in front of him were torches and figures, Wang Lun led more than 2,000 soldiers and horses to block his way. Wan Rui shouted, raised his knife and rushed up, and then listened to Wang Lun's order: "Release the arrow." ”

"Woohoo." Arrows are like locusts, and the officers and soldiers who have been useless since the siege of the city archers finally have a chance to vent, thousands of arrows are poured in the black pressure of the pocket, and Wan Rui's head and face are hit by no less than 20 arrows on the limbs of his body, becoming an out-and-out porcupine, and he fell into the dust without saying a word.

The hundreds of brainless soldiers behind him could not escape their fate, and after several rounds of arrow rain, they all fell in pools of blood.

The rebels on the city wall were terrified when they saw this scene, and Sun Shiping sighed: "What is the pain, it is obvious that it is difficult to fly with wings, and it is still spared his life." Then he raised his hands and shouted to the city: "Don't let go of the arrows, I'll wait for the surrender." ”

The rebel soldiers came to their senses and raised their hands and shouted, "Surrender, surrender, spare your life." ”

……

The war did not know when it would end, and Wang Shouren himself did not know how to end, but the sudden turn of events soon brought the siege to a close. At the fourth watch, the four gates of the southern city, twenty or thirty yamen, large and small, were all occupied, and nearly 100 officials, including the king of Yichun, who accompanied Zhu Chenhao's rebellion, were all captured and brought to justice.

The city of Nanchang was brightly lit with soldiers and horses, and the sound of searching for rebels and sporadic fighting continued until dawn, when the morning fog of dawn dissipated, and the morning sun shone on the head of this ancient city in the southwest, the city that Zhu Chenhao had painstakingly managed had completely fallen into the hands of Wang Shouren.

Wang Shouren was also able to learn the truth about the strange city gate incident last night.

Here's the thing, last night the two armies were in the middle of a battle, Wan Rui ordered people to drive five or six thousand people to participate in the defense of the city, these people were responsible for transporting the materials piled up under the city to the city, arrows, stones, logs and other materials needed a lot of people to carry, because the rebels on the city head went crazy and threw them down, and soon lost all the materials hoarded at the head of the city. The civilians, under the supervision of the rebel squads, became the main force in transporting the supplies.

However, the people in Nanchang City did not have a good impression of Zhu Chenhao at all, and they hated Ning Wangfu's cunning and robbery of the people in Nanchang, but they were powerless to resist and could only accept it. Now that Zhu Chenhao has rebelled, there are rumors in the city that the imperial army has come to encircle and suppress Zhu Chenhao, which makes the people happy in their hearts.

After Wang Shouren's army attacked Nanchang City, the hearts of the people in the city were undercurrent, and they hoped that Wang Shouren could break through the city and rescue them from fire and water, but they also understood that with the material reserves of Nanchang City and the defense of the city, it would be difficult to get hold for a while.

Last night, the officers and soldiers suffered heavy casualties in the siege of the city, and the people all saw it, but there was no way, and they still needed to transport these materials that caused casualties to the officers and soldiers against their will. Just when everyone's hearts were helpless and anxious, a rebel officer at the head of the southern city came to ask for the hands of the people's wife, to carry a batch of bows and arrows and ammunition to the city tower.

In fact, the battle at the city tower was not fierce, and occasionally the siege soldiers and horses came to the left, and they were all driven away by the rebels at the head of the city, but they also spent a lot of ammunition and arrows for this; They could have carried the supplies themselves, but it was the style of the rebel soldiers to leave these laborers without having to do it themselves.

So, hundreds of people were taken to the back of the city gate, the materials piled up behind the city gate were carried up to the city tower, a person named Zheng Ah Da looked at the city gate hole of the black hole and suddenly had the idea of adventure, when carrying the materials, he secretly told everyone about this idea, but the others actually hit it off, so after a simple planning, after the completion of the transportation of materials, the more than 100 people excused themselves to take a breath, all of them rested on the city wall behind the city gate hole. The small number of guards and soldiers in the rear didn't care, taking advantage of their inadvertent moment, dozens of people entered the city gate of the black hole, quietly removed the horse, carried away the top gate post, unloaded the iron gate chain, and completely unguarded the solid and solid south city gate, and then walked away.

Because it was done so suddenly and secretly, the people could not pass on the news to the officers and soldiers, so that the officers and soldiers and the rebels did not know anything, the officers and soldiers attacked the city wall vigorously, and the rebels were so focused on guarding the city wall that no one had time to check whether the city gate was in good condition. If it weren't for the small group of officers and soldiers who sneaked around the gate to avoid the stones and sassalwoods dropped by the city, and the soldier accidentally touched the city gate, the people's hard work would have been in vain.

Wang Shouren couldn't smile bitterly after knowing what had happened, and after rewarding the group of people, he stood on the street and sighed: "The people's heart, this is the people's heart." The hearts of the people are worth a million soldiers. ”

The generals who followed were convinced.
