XIV. The Battle of Wuchang (5)
"Ouch, my ancestor, did you hear last time that Concubine Lan said that she was going to send someone to the south? I begged for the master's grace and let the kid follow, the kid began to fight with me, saying that the south was chaotic, the family was comfortable, I didn't want to go, I hit him twice, scolded a few words, and then reluctantly followed the young master Guerjia away, no, some time ago, I sent a letter back, and I didn't say anything else, just said that my life was very fulfilling, and I also killed a few thieves, in my heart, I was counting on him to fight for an official and a half-job, and earn a future for himself! ”
"If your nephew becomes a big official and takes you out to be an old feuder, you, when the time comes, you will have to kowtow to our mother a few more times!"
"What do you have to say, I, I can't say anything else except thank you to our master!"
Walking to the front of the Fengguang room, the two were silent, Anqian took the box, lifted the curtain, and entered the hall, only to feel that the charcoal burning in the hall was as warm as spring, and there were a few rare purple spring orchids on the red sandalwood long table, and the bead curtain hung down, and Lan Concubine was sitting on the kang with Emperor Xianfeng. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
I saw Xingzhen's snow skin warmed by charcoal like a red plum, extremely beautiful, swaggering to eat Emperor Xianfeng's white son, Emperor Xianfeng was restless, indifferent to Xingzhen's rampage on the chessboard, and occasionally stood up to listen to the sound outside.
Xingzhen is so happy, I, a rookie of Go, actually abused Emperor Xianfeng, who has been playing Go since childhood, and I was so proud in my heart that I couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Hehe, Emperor, you still don't save Baizi in the southeast corner?" will be eaten by all the concubines! ”
Emperor Xianfeng wiped the chessboard and messed up the chess pieces, Xingzhen's eyes widened, and she looked at the chessboard with her mouth open, I said Emperor, you are also too bad at chess, right?
Emperor Xianfeng said irritably: "Today is a hundred games, and I can't play you, I have the matter of Hubei in my heart, and I am uncertain, how to play good chess." ”
Xingzhen was also nervous when she heard this, don't change your mind about the Taiping army, Lao Tzu racked his brain to recall the process of the Taiping Bureau conquering Wuchang from the book he had read before, this Hong Xiuquan, Yang Xiuqing, Chang Dachun, don't miss Lao Tzu's big thing!
However, Xingzhen's heart was strong enough, and she hurriedly hinted with her eyes that Anqian put the dim sum fruit on the table, and then said other gossip, peeled an orange for the emperor, and slowly relieved Emperor Xianfeng's nervousness.
November 14, Hubei, Wuchang Province.
With the vast white fog unique to the river in winter, the siege of the Taiping army began again the next day, Jiang Qi dragged the veterans who took care of him to the wall to avoid being injured again, and began to command the young and strong to cooperate with the soldiers on the city wall to counterattack, and the Jiangnan Governor Shuangfu, who commanded at the head of the wall, saw that Jiang Qi seemed to have fewer people on his side, and ordered his own soldiers to send a few people up to supplement it.
Mao Liu indifferently watched the fanatical children of the same age around him being smashed down by stones, hot oil, and big stones, holding the knife in his hand, relying on his thin body, and avoiding, the big killer thrown from above, crawling up, and the children in front of him fell like dumplings, which also gave Mao Liu a chance to jump onto the Wuchang city wall!
As soon as Mao Liu jumped on the city wall, he cut off the head of a strong man who was about to pour down with fire oil, and the hot blood splashed into Mao Liu's mouth, salty, and only heard the panicked strong man shouting and turning away in his ears.
Mao Liu had just jumped off the wall, and before the companions behind him could catch up, Mao Liu was ready to resist against the wallpile for a while, waiting for the response behind him. At this time, I saw a strong man walking over with an iron ruler.
Jiang Qi was directing the strong man to carry the tools to defend the city with his back to the city wall, heard a few exclamations, turned around and saw a thin man cut the neck of an unlucky strong man with a knife, and blood was spilled all over the ground.
Jiang Qi didn't think much about it, and went up with an iron ruler, aren't these people killing their own Yun'er!
Jiang Qi knocked Mao Liu's blood-stained long knife away with an iron ruler, and then slashed Mao Liu's neck with an iron ruler, cutting Mao Liu's trachea, and blood spurted out.
Mao Liu felt that his mind suddenly became blank, and the whole person became light, as if he was about to fly, he really flew and flew to the ground.
Jiang Qi kicked Mao Liu, who had not yet fallen, off the city wall.
Mao Liu's eyes widened blankly and lay on the black mud soaked with blood under Wuchang City, and the last thing he thought before losing consciousness was: It's so good, I'll never dream of that little girl again.
Chang Dachun, who was sitting on the city gate tower, saw Jiang Qi in front of him kick the skinny Taiping thief off the city tower, and nodded approvingly, "This son is not bad." The relatives on the side understood it and wrote down this person for future use.
The city wall is still in full swing, some people keep falling, some people keep getting up, some people keep dying, and some people keep trying to survive. Jiang Qi saw that he had ended the life of a traitor who jumped up at once, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, his idea was to force him down and finish, why was his reaction so slow, and he was cut his throat before he could resist? Jiang Qi was still standing in place, an arrow swished past Jiang Qi's ear, Jiang Qi came back to his senses and broke out in a cold sweat.
The green battalion soldiers behind him finally arrived and filled the vacant position, a rude man in his thirties who spoke Wuhan dialect bumped Jiang Qi's shoulder, the city was full of blood, Jiang Qi was almost knocked and slipped, "Okay, you kid, start with a sharp shot!" Take this knife," the man stuffed the knife that the skinny thief who was killed by Jiang Qi and threw it on the ground to Jiang Qi, "You deserve to use this knife!" Jiang Qi came back to his senses, shook the knife in his hand, and seemed to have the body temperature of the traitor who was killed by himself just now, he didn't have time to think about anything, turned his head and continued to shout Zhuangdingmen to carry the weapons guarding the city.
Yun'er, kill one to avenge you, in the future, there will be more!
The second day's attack was fruitless, except for blowing up a few gaps in the city wall, nothing was found, the Taiping army threw hundreds of corpses of the boy scouts under the city of Wuchang, the gray Mingjin withdrew the troops, the morale of the soldiers defending the city in Wuchang was greatly boosted, shouting loudly, the sound came into the sky, Jiang Qi also wiped the sweat on his body, tired to watch the rebel army outside the city retreat like a tide, and showed a happy smile on his face.
Chang Dachun, the governor of Hubei, smiled, but when he saw that the Taiping army outside the city was scattered and not chaotic, his smile condensed slightly. The enemy's army is not in turmoil, I am afraid that the difficulty of defending this Wuchang city will increase again, and the next few days will be a bloody battle!
Chang Dachun looked at it from afar, the people and horses on the river were hissing, the iron chains of the sailors of the rebels were as stable as flat ground, the two pontoon bridges were like Turtle Mountain and Snake Mountain traversing the vast water surface of the three towns of Wuhan, and they were particularly majestic under the reflection of the sunset, Chang Dachun's eyes crossed the pontoon bridge of the Taiping Army, and looked at the place where the water and sky met in the distance, and the white waves of the Han River were faintly like white lines, Chang Dachun's heart was excited and worried.
The emperor expected the enemy to take the lead, and the traitor really set up a pontoon bridge, Wang Jinxiu, Wang Jinxiu, you must not let the old man down!
