Chapter Twenty-Four: When it is broken, it is broken

Listening to Guo Zixing's words, Sun Deya finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Can you really be willing not to pass it on to your precious son?"

Speaking of this, Guo Zixing also said helplessly: "If you can, who doesn't want to pass it on to your own son, but I know that my son is not that material at all, compared to Zhu Yuanzhang, he is nothing." ”

"But he's still obsessed with power, and I've taught him many times to no avail."

"Now that I'm here, I'm pressing him Zhu Yuanzhang, otherwise, how can he compare with Zhu Yuanzhang, if he really insists on being an enemy of Zhu Yuanzhang, I'm afraid that he won't be able to escape death in the future."

"But.... Fortunately, I had the foresight to write a letter to King Xiao Ming early, and once I died on the battlefield, my handsome position would be inherited by Zhu Yuanzhang. When the time comes, with this affection, I believe that Zhu Yuanzhang will save his life no matter what. ”

Sun Deya, who was dying at this time, heard that Guo Zixing had arranged the aftermath properly and chose a good commander for the righteous army in Haozhou City, and the last thing that he couldn't let go of in his heart was solved.

He chuckled and said, "You... You.... It's true, the old treacherous and cunning........"

After saying that, he was completely out of breath.

And Guo Zixing, who was on the side, didn't find out about Sun Deya's death at all, and said proudly: "Lao Tzu, that's a wise god!" ”

But after waiting for a long time, he didn't see Sun Deya replying, so he looked back.

When he saw Sun Deya, whose head had been tilted to the side, he immediately stared at him and shouted: "Sun Deya, Sun Deya!" ”

Guo Zixing looked down and found that Sun Deya's abdomen had a blood hole at some point, and blood flowed from the wound to the ground, staining it red.

Seeing Sun Deya's death, Guo Zixing's entire eyes turned blood-red.

He clenched the knife in his hand and killed the nearest Yuan army directly.

As he walked, he shouted: "Lao Tzu can still let you show you!" ”

However, at this moment, the surrounding Yuan army had completely gained the upper hand, and there were Yuan soldiers on all sides, but in just a few breaths, Guo Zixing died under the spears of four or five Yuan soldiers.

On the tower of Haozhou City, countless pairs of eyes were looking here, seeing Guo Zixing being hit by many enemy spears, and they looked at each other angrily!

Guo Tianxu saw his father die on the battlefield, and shouted in grief: "Father! ”

Just when everyone was shocked, Qi Heng secretly looked at Zhu Yuanzhang beside him.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang was clenching his teeth, and there were faint tears in his eyes, but he was holding back and did not flow out.

Qi Heng sighed in his heart.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who is decisive in killing and can do anything to achieve his goal, still remembers Guo Zixing's kindness.

Looking at the city at this moment, Guo Zixing and Sun Deya died, and the entire righteous army was completely leaderless.

Seeing a large number of Yuan troops attacking, his body involuntarily began to retreat to the city of Haozhou.

With the first, there is the second.

Together, the entire rebel army began to rout.

like a wolf driving a flock.

Without the resistance of the rebels, the Yuan army began to kill unscrupulously.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately raised his right hand and ordered the soldiers beside him: "Order Xu Da to meet spring, open the city gate, and welcome the soldiers into the city!" ”

Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's order, the soldiers immediately went down to give the order.

Under the city, Xu Da, who received the order, met Chang Yuchun and immediately led the army out of the city.

Escort the rout to the left and right to protect them from entering the city.

Not only that, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately ordered to the archers on the city tower: "Listen to the order!" ”

"Everyone prepare, volley the Yuan army chasing soldiers and stop their offensive!"

Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, an officer of the Righteous Army immediately said: "Then there are brothers of our Righteous Army among the pursuers of the Yuan Army!" ”

But Zhu Yuanzhang just glanced at him coldly and said, "Shoot!" ”

The officer was shocked, turned his head and said to the archers on the tower: "Shoot!" ”

As the arrows were fired, because it was not too far from the city tower, countless Yuan soldiers died under the bow and arrow, and at the same time, many rebel soldiers who were still resisting also died at the hands of their own people.

Anyone who sees the rebel brothers being shot by their own people can hardly calm their hearts.

But Zhu Yuanzhang's seemingly cold-blooded move, Qi Heng understood it in his heart.

Although he doesn't understand military affairs, he is not stupid.

At this moment, the situation under the city is still clearly seen.

The Yuan army chasers are connected with the righteous army, you have me, I have you.

Once the city gate is opened at this moment, and there is no archers to stop it, the Yuan army will inevitably break in among the rebels.

In this case, if one is not good, the gate of Haozhou City will be lost.

At that time, the 100,000 yuan army on the opposite side will definitely move and turn this battle into a siege war.

Without the advantage of Haozhou City, the righteous army could not fight against the Yuan army, which was several times its own, and at that time, it would be a catastrophe.

Helpless, Zhu Yuanzhang could only be ruthless.

Sacrifice some of the soldiers to get more soldiers back to the city safely.

Under the cover of the archers, the rebel soldiers who had fled to the city first had returned safely to the city under the protection of Xu Da and Chang Yuchun.

Just as Qi Heng guessed, when he saw the gate of Haozhou City open, those Yuan soldiers rushed madly towards the city.

Fortunately, the archers were able to stop their attack.

But the existence of archers and arrows could not completely block the Yuan army, seeing that a small part of the Yuan army was about to attack the city, and the cavalry in the distance also began to charge, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately shouted: "Prepare to close the city gate!" ”

With the transmission of Zhu Yuanzhang's order, Xu Da and Chang Yuchun below also began to shrink their subordinates.

When the Yuan army arrived at the city, everyone had already retreated into the city.

And the offensive of those Yuan troops also disappeared in an instant, and began to retreat towards the rear.

But it was clear to everyone that the retreat of the Yuan army at this time did not mean the end of the battle.

On the castle tower.

Zhu Yuanzhang watched the decisive retreat of the Yuan army, and began to set up camp in a position that was enough to be alert, and his face became a little solemn.

It can be seen that the Yuan army came prepared this time and was ready to fight to the death with Haozhou City.

This is not good news for the entire city of Haozhou.

As the rebels returned to the city, the officers of the city began to reorganize them.

After more than ten minutes, Xu Da and Chang Yuchun came to Zhu Yuanzhang's side and arched their hands: "Dashuai, there are more than 10,000 rebel brothers who went out of the city with Guo Dashuai and Sun Dashuai to face the battle this time. ”

"And, nearly a thousand of them have wounds."

Hearing this result, Zhu Yuanzhang said expressionlessly: "The injured brother will be taken down for treatment." ”

"If you are not injured, return to your own team."

When Xu Da and Chang Yuchun heard this, they nodded and retreated.

Night.

Guo Zixing's mansion.

Zhu Yuanzhang summoned the generals of the entire Haozhou city to discuss the defense of the city here.
