Chapter 34: I am the orthodox emperor of the Ming Dynasty
Fan Zhong wanted to step forward to stop him, but he was too late, and just when he was desperate, he suddenly saw a tall figure appear.
Then, with a slam on the floor, the Warat who tried to sneak up was decapitated and fell straight to the ground.
Zhu Qizhen only felt a steaming liquid splash on his neck, and when he reached out and touched it, it was full of blood.
He turned his head sharply, saw that it was Ha Ming of Jinyiwei, and couldn't help asking, "Why are you here?" ”
At this time, Li Zhen followed and said, "Back to the emperor, Ha Ming was borrowed from Jinyiwei by Weichen!" ”
Zhu Qizhen snorted and continued to fight.
With Ha Ming's help, Fan Zhong's pressure was reduced a lot, and he was fighting, when he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and looked at it, it was the support of the Warat people!
He looked back at the city gate, where most of the displaced people had already entered the city, except for some of the frail and old, or wounded, who were struggling to get closer to the gate.
In the distance, there were black-pressed Warat cavalry, rushing with sand and dust, looking at the situation, at least twenty or thirty thousand people.
"Your Majesty, most of the people have entered the city, hurry up and withdraw!"
Fan Zhong looked at the situation in front of him and said with an anxious expression.
Zhu Qizhen looked back and said resolutely: "No, the people haven't all entered the city yet, hold on a little longer!" ”
Li Zhen also found that the situation was wrong, and hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him: "Your Majesty, the support of the Warat people is here, you can't wait any longer!" ”
"I said no!" Zhu Qizhen's face sank like water, and he said in a firm tone, "I am the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, these people are my people, as long as one of them is still outside, we will stand in front of them, even if it is the last person to fight!" ”
Everyone was silent, and although they did not understand, they all stood in awe.
In the past, I often heard people praise a certain emperor for loving the people like a son and treating the people as hurts, and so on, and I have become numb when I say too much.
In their impression, seeing that the people have been affected by the disaster, they have already loved the people like children when they allocate some money and food for disaster relief.
And now, Zhu Qizhen's performance has refreshed everyone's cognition.
The emperor is the king of a country, and the lives of the common people are like mustard, but the emperor is desperate to protect those mustard people.
"Rush!"
"Kill!"
Everyone no longer hesitated, raised their weapons and entered the enemy line.
The Warat people saw that their reinforcements had arrived, and they were just about to counterattack, but they saw the Ming army rushing towards them like a rainbow.
At this moment, they were very surprised in their hearts, did these people have broken brains?
Don't you run when you see our reinforcements coming?
After another battle between the two armies, Fan Zhong looked back at the city gate and immediately shouted: "Your Majesty, the people have all entered the city!" ”
Zhu Qizhen glanced back, and sure enough, all the people who were captured by the Warat people entered the city.
"Withdraw!"
The Ming army received the order and immediately covered the retreat of Zhu Qizhen.
At this time, the Warat brigade was already very close, and when they saw the Ming army running away after the fight, how could they let it go?
So, these people began to pursue with all their might, and at the front of the team was Boyan, an old friend of the Ming army.
Although he was burned in one eye by lime powder, he recognized Zhu Qizhen at a glance.
The reason is simple, only the emperor can wear golden armor.
I saw that his only remaining eye was full of murderous aura, and he shouted vigorously: "The one wearing the golden armor in the Nanren array is their emperor, if he can be captured alive, he will be sealed as the Marquis of Ten Thousand Households!" ”
The cavalry behind him suddenly became excited, screamed in their mouths, and galloped at a gallop.
On the city wall, Zhang Fu and others saw that Zhu Qizhen was reluctant to retreat, and his head was covered with white sweat.
Finally, seeing Zhu Qizhen retreating, their hearts just let go, but they hung up again.
Because the main force of the Warat people has already chased over, at this rate, it is impossible to close the city gate after all the Ming troops have entered the city.
Or there is another option, that is, half of the Ming army advances, and the remaining half can only stay outside.
In this way, it is better to block the Warat people from entering the city and lose some men and horses than to destroy the city!
"English Princess!" Kuang's face was as dead as he was, and said, "You can come and get an idea!" ”
Zhang Fu shook his head helplessly and said, "As long as the emperor can enter the city safely, the others ...... That's all there is to it! ”
To tell the truth, exchanging half of the 3,000 battalions for a few thousand homeless people is not a good deal.
However, this is the emperor's holy decree, no matter whether it is cost-effective or not, the transaction must be done.
Kuang Yu sighed and said, "The emperor has ordered you to be the supreme commander, you can give the order!" ”
Zhang Fu sighed helplessly and said a few words to the herald beside him, and the herald hurriedly ran down.
Seeing that the city gate of Badaling was in front of him, Zhu Qizhen subconsciously glanced back.
If you don't look at it, it's enough, and when you look at it, you immediately secretly say that it's not good in your heart.
The Warats were so fast that they bit the tail of their own team!
If all the Ming troops enter the city, the Warats will also follow, what should I do?
Soon, he also thought of another possibility, which was to abandon part of his troops and lock the Warats outside the city.
This idea was quickly rejected by him, the lives of the displaced people are fate, and the lives of the soldiers are not?
No, you can't!
But...... What else can be done?
Zhang Fu on the city wall was waiting anxiously, just waiting for the emperor to enter the city safely, and then he could close the door at any time!
Boyan behind him was excitedly chasing, because he found that the little emperor didn't seem to be able to run away.
Zhu Qizhen galloped his horse and glanced around.
The Badaling city wall is at the junction of the plain and the mountain range, and when you enter Badaling, you will officially enter the Yanshan Mountain Range.
Before that, it was an open plain.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind.
The urgency of the situation leaves no room for thought, and decisions must be made in this moment.
"Drive!"
I saw him suddenly shout, turn his horse's head with all his might, and head north!
Fan Zhong and Li Zhen behind him couldn't think at all, and followed closely.
The large army was even more unknown, and everyone followed the front and turned to the north.
On the city wall, Zhang Fu's face was full of doubts, why didn't the emperor enter the city, but to the north?
Suddenly, he understood!
I saw him trembling all over, trying to say three words: "Close the city gate!" ”
"What did you say?" Kuang Yu was shocked and said, "The emperor hasn't entered the city yet!" ”
Zhang Fu suddenly shouted: "Close the city gate!" ”
Boyan was in pursuit, and suddenly saw the Ming army turning, and he was greatly surprised.
For a while, he didn't know whether to continue chasing or attacking the city, and after a moment of entanglement, he still chased after him.
To the north of Badaling, there is an endless grassland.
Zhu Qizhen galloped all the way with 3,000 battalions and entered the grassland, and suddenly felt that the autumn air was high and refreshing, and the sky was wide.
He silently said in his heart: "Zhu Qizhen, I have already helped you pay off the sins you created in your previous life, from now on, no matter life or death, this body, this world, has nothing to do with you!" From now on, I will be the true orthodox emperor of the Ming Dynasty! ”
