At the cost of huge casualties, the rebels finally set foot on the beachheads on the left and right sides of Meizizhou, they survived the artillery fire, escaped from the flying locusts, survived the dense iron sand of the fire, and the rest were already the lucky among the lucky ones.

There has never been a battle in which rushing to the other side's side to fight for their lives will become a luxury, and the rebel soldiers who rushed to the beachhead have this deep sadness in their hearts at this moment, because rushing to the beachhead does not mean the beginning of hand-to-hand combat, the officers and soldiers closest to the beachhead appeared in unison, and threw thousands of smoking iron bumps at them, although they had never seen what this was, but the rebel soldiers had a consensus that these iron bumps were by no means a good thing.

That's the hand produced in the arsenal. Ray, at the end of last year, regained this hand in the Battle of the Loop. Thunder was once used as a weapon to bomb the Tatars north of the Yellow River, but at that time it was only a real product; After that battle, Song Nan's arsenal has officially put this hand. Ray as one of the main production of firearms. Although the time was short, in two times, the main manpower and resources of the arsenal were used to manufacture eighty Madame Song rocket artillery, but this kind of hand. Ray also produced thousands of pieces.

That's these thousands of hands. Lei was taken out by Song Nan today and thrown at the feet of the rebel soldiers on the river beach.

Boom Boom! The deafening explosions rang out one after another, raising the soft mud and sand to obscure the starry sky, and in that moment, the sardine-like dense sardine of the narrow river beach on both sides became these hands. Thunder exerts its power at its best, and the blast of the air waves will dig through the dense rebel formations into pieces of open space, every hand. The explosion of the thunder emptied a radius of five or six feet, and then lifted the sand, rocks, and even the bodies of the rebel soldiers into the sky and beyond.

On the huge dragon boat flagship of the rebels in the rear, Zhu Chenhao, Liu Yangzheng, Li Shishi, Wang Lun and others looked at this qiē in amazement, watching their soldiers being thrown high into the air and falling to the ground like dolls, and then they saw the birth of a great rout. All the rebel soldiers began to turn around and run into the water, they would rather die in the cold water of the river than stay in the hell on earth, their psychological defenses have completely collapsed, and at the moment they only care about one thing: how to die more decently and comfortably.

"What to do? What to do? The muscles on Zhu Chenhao's handsome cheeks began to twitch, and his hands and feet trembled uncontrollably, he didn't expect that his army of more than 80,000 people didn't even have a chance to fight Song Nan head-on, at least 10,000 were killed and wounded on the river, and at least 20,000 died in the process of rushing the beach, the number of dead and wounded soldiers and horses on the river beach just now is impossible to estimate, but if this explosion continues, the remaining 50,000 people can only survive at most half to participate in hand-to-hand combat, and the result is bound to lose.

He didn't hate the soldiers and horses who fled on the river beach, because he knew that anyone who was killed under this kind of ruthless killing would be full of courage and no fighting spirit, what he hated was that he was full of confidence and fought to the death with Song Nan, but he was restrained everywhere and defeated everywhere, and he Zhu Chenhao was useless in front of Song Nan.

Then a very strict question rushed into his mind: If he loses to Song Nan, then he will lose this move, where will he go? Jiangxi is gone, Nanchang is gone, Jiujiang Nankang is gone, his back road has been cut off, and he suddenly has nowhere to go.

Zhu Chenhao turned around and looked at the 'ministers' behind him who were also pale, from their eyes, Zhu Chenhao did not get the slightest comfort and courage.

"Where is my son?" The old man's voice remembered on the deck, Zhu Chenhao raised his eyes, and saw the princess Lou supporting the old princess with a dragon's head cane, surrounded by a handmaid and a maidservant, and appeared in the firelight.

Lou was dressed neatly and brightly, looking dignified and quiet, and the old princess was also dressed in a dress, with a calm complexion.

Zhu Chenhao stepped forward quickly, knelt down in front of the old princess, tears burst out of his eyes, and he couldn't cry: "Mother, the child is incompetent, the child is defeated." ”

The old princess looked at each other with eye level, and she didn't even look at Zhu Chenhao, staring at the situation of the officers and soldiers rushing down the river beach in the distance and harvesting the lives of the rebel soldiers.

The fighting there could no longer be called a battle, the rebel soldiers had no fighting spirit at all, and those who resisted were immediately killed, most of them kneeling in the icy water, raising their hands and hanging their heads in silence.

"Son, do you remember your daughter-in-law's advice to you in the past few years? Lou has cried and admonished many times, asking you not to have infatuation, but you took her words as contrary words, not only scolded her, but also almost deprived her of the position of princess. ”

Zhu Chenhao looked at Lou, Lou looked at him affectionately, and there was no trace of blame in his expression; Zhu Chenhao suddenly remembered the happy time he had spent with Lou Shi before, Lou Shi is a famous talented woman in Jiangxi, and the relationship between husband and wife is also very harmonious after marrying him, and it is for the sake of rebellion that he gradually distances himself from it.

A few years ago, Zhu Chenhao got a good painting called "Husband and Wife Picking Wood", and when he was happy, he asked Lou to write a poem. Yesterday's window rain was slippery with moss, don't go to the moss danger. Zhu Chenhao naturally knew what it meant to 'don't go to the dangerous place of the moss', so he was furious, tore up the painting, and never went to Lou's room again. Even so, Lou often persuaded him in front of him, and he was bent on big things, taking her words as a deaf ear. If it weren't for the Lou family giving birth to a son for himself, he would almost strip Lou of the princess and put her in the cold palace.

Zhu Chenhao's heart churned with pain, he realized what it was like to regret, but there was no medicine for regret in this world.

"Ai Concubine, I don't know what to say, in the past, I used women's words to die in the country, and I didn't use women's words to die. Aifei, I can't stand you. ”

Lou Shi said softly: "Don't blame yourself, this qiē is fate, what are your plans next?" ”

Zhu Chenhao said: "What can I do?" What can I do? At this point, I don't have the slightest idea. ”

Lou said: "The concubine and the old lady have discussed, the old lady and the queen mother have a lot of origins and friendships, if the husband can immediately stop the precipice, maybe the queen mother can save her life, for the inheritance of King Ning's lineage, husband, you surrender quickly, the emperor is a generous person, you admit your mistakes, they are all a family, maybe he can forgive you for your mistakes this time." ”

"What?" Zhu Chenhao screamed: "Surrender? Will they let me? Didn't you see what happened to King Anhua? ”

"Your Majesty, you must not surrender, otherwise you will be beheaded in the street like King Anhua, and no one in the palace will be forgiven." Li Shishi shouted.

"Yes, Your Majesty, you can't surrender, although we lost this battle, we immediately gathered the remnants of the army and got out of here, our ship is big, Song Nan They don't have decent warships and can't catch up at all, calculate that we are defeated, we still have dozens of warships, and at least twenty or thirty thousand soldiers and horses in hand. Although Jiangxi can't go back, but Anqing Mansion is still in our hands, first go to Anqing Mansion to rest, and then go north to attack Fengyang Mansion, Anhui is mountainous, it really can't be done, we can lead the army to hide in the Dabie Mountains, recuperate and then try to do big things, if it falls at this moment, I don't regret waiting for death, the emperor You will definitely be killed by Zhu Houzhao. Think twice, Your Majesty. ”

"Shut up." The old princess shouted angrily, her silver hair trembled angrily, and she waved her cane to beat Li Shishi, Liu Yangzheng, Wang Lun and others, and said: "It is the instigation of your gang of rats that my Ning Wangfu has today's disaster, and now you still refuse to give up, do you want me to make all the people in Ning Wangfu go to be bandits?" ”

Liu Yangzheng, Li Shishi, Wang Lun and others did not dare to dodge, shrugged their shoulders one by one, and let the crutches rain on their heads and faces. Zhu Chenhao stepped forward and grabbed the old princess's arm and said: "Mother, don't blame them, these are the son's own ideas, the son has long had the heart to ascend to the world, they just assisted me." ”

The old princess shouted: "Then you say, do you want to go wrong." Or listen to the old body's words, immediately surrender to sincerity, and extinguish the dispute, the old body is kneeling in front of the queen mother to plead, but also to protect my Ning Wang lineage. ”

Zhu Chenhao bit his lip tightly, shook his head after a while, and said, "There is no turning back when I open the bow, I haven't lost yet." I still have Anqing Mansion, I still have dozens of warships, tens of thousands of people and horses, and I still have capital. I can't put my life and death in the hands of Zhengde, he won't spare me, Song Nan won't spare me, and the ministers in Beijing won't spare me; If I am wrong, I will be wrong to the end, and I will see how things turn out. ”

The old princess's face was pale, her eyes were full of disappointment, and she shook her head slightly and said, "That's it, you have gone mad." The old body won't persuade you anymore, and he can't persuade you anymore. ”

Zhu Chenhao held the old princess's arm, the old princess shook it off, looked back and smiled at Lou's and said, "Lou's, did you hear that?" ”

Lou's face was calm and said, "My daughter-in-law has heard it, and these are all expected." ”

"Then ...... Let's go, the old body doesn't want to see this qiē anymore. ”

Lou said: "Yes, the daughter-in-law accompanies the old lady." ”

"I'm sorry for you, you are a virtuous daughter-in-law, and the old body is very satisfied with you. Come on, hold on to the old body. ”

Lou gently stepped forward to support the old princess's arm, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law slowly turned around, and Zhu Chenhao stood awkwardly with his arms outstretched, not knowing what to do.

Lou Shi took two steps, and suddenly turned back to Zhu Chenhao and smiled: "Husband, the concubine can't serve you anymore, and the concubine can't see the future, no matter what, the concubine will wish her husband a healthy body, and her wish will be fulfilled, and I hope that your husband will cherish it." ”

Zhu Chenhao listened to the words and was thinking about it, but seeing that Lou was blessed, he turned around and glanced at the old princess, and the two walked a few steps to the side of the boat with a smile on their lips.
