Chapter 310: The Siege (8)
Zhu Di, who was riding a horse, withdrew his gaze from the city wall with thousands of holes and scars, and shook the horsewhip.
Trimester... It's been three months, and the city of Jinan has run out of ammunition and food, so how can he get better? The desperate attack on Jinan almost exhausted the results of the battle of Baigou River, and today, Jinan... It's finally in his hands!
From now on, he is no longer a rebel thief who only has Beiping, but a vassal king who really sits in the north and can compete with the dragon chair!
Unlike the first battle of Zhengcunba and the first battle of Baigouhe, this attack on Jinan was not to destroy the living forces of the imperial court, but to win a rear for himself that could stabilize and develop his troops! As long as Jinan stands here, the imperial court can no longer fight if it wants to fight and defend as before, and from now on, the offensive and defensive trend will be completely reversed!
The cheers on the city wall were extremely high-pitched, and Zhu Di could already see the people who were crying with joy, and they rushed to the front, wanting to see Zhu Di's appearance clearly, Zhu Di sat on the horse, and his back quietly straightened.
The city gate of Jinan is very tall, the city gate hole is naturally very deep and spacious, the gate of the hole is opened, the heavy stones that were originally used to resist the city gate have been removed, piled up to both sides, more than ten bare-handed city guards kneeling on both sides, touching the ground with their foreheads, their heads are not daring to lift, sixty guards crossed Zhu Di, first stepped into the city gate hole on both sides, the armor is sonorous, their hands have been touched on the handle of the knife, but whenever there is any movement in the city, they can protect Zhu Di from the city gate for the first time.
Through the gloomy city gate hole, Zhu Di can already see the incense case in the sun at the end, with a complicated face of Tie Xuan Sheng Yong and a group of officials dressed in official uniforms, arching his hands towards this side, showing a gesture of submission, Zhu Di's inner heat rose up at this moment, how many times before he sighed at this city at night, and today, this city is about to belong to him!
After the guards finished their inspection, they did not find the ambushed sword and axe men or archers, Zhu Di lightly kicked the horse's belly and approached the city gate.
"It's close, it's close..."
Tie Xuan's heart was beating extremely fast, his face was meek and submissive, his hands were slightly arched, but his eyes were staring at Zhu Di's voice, calculating the speed of the war horse under his crotch, calculating how long it would take him to get to the position he had envisioned for a day and a night.
Above the city gate hole, where the jack gate was originally placed, a huge iron plate was placed at this time.
The iron plate is dark, it looks inconspicuous in the dark city gate hole, it looks like the top of the city gate hole, and even deceived Zhu Di's personal guards, just to prevent being discovered, this iron plate is still not too big, there is a groove above the city gate hole to store the jack gate, and it is reasonable to put the iron plate into it at this time.
That's right, King Yan has guards around him, and King Yan himself will be on guard, if he enters the city, it will be difficult to start, and the only chance is to kill him with one blow and let him die in the hole of the city gate!
It's just that this timing is a little difficult to grasp, if it's early, King Yan will be blocked out, and if it's late, he can run away calmly.
Seeing that his guards did not find anything abnormal, Zhu Di showed a smile, he had even thought about how to save some face for Tie Xuan and the others when he was surrendered for a while, after all, when he thought of the bitterness of the past three months, he could always have a killing intent in his heart.
Closer, closer...
Tie Xuan's throat was dry, and his heart almost jumped out, and when Zhu Di entered the city gate, he took a step forward and shouted: "Chitose! ”
At first glance, there is no problem, after being crowned the king, he could have called King Yan Chitose, but this is not Tie Xuan greeting Zhu Di, but a signal to do it!
The soldiers who were kneeling in the city gate cave raised their heads, only to hear the sound of "click", and above the city gate hole, the solid iron plate with wind and thunder fell suddenly.
In order to prevent a mistake in prediction, Tie Xuan even used an iron plate instead of a knife, in order to make it a meat sauce under the iron plate as long as Zhu Di even brought people and horses into the range, and he calculated extremely accurately, according to Zhu Di's speed, he should have walked right under the iron plate, and even if he reacted, he would definitely not be able to escape the iron plate that roared down.
When the time comes, let alone three layers of leather armor, even three layers of iron armor, there will be no corpse under this iron plate!
It's just that Tie Xuan made a lot of calculations, but he didn't count the moment Zhu Di walked into the range of the iron plate, the ghost made a god and strangled the reins of the horse, although it was only a very short meal, but the iron plate grazed his nose and fell, and the wind blew his hair and smashed heavily on the neck of the war horse he was riding.
Solid iron plate, how much should it weigh? Coupled with the high fall, the speed is extremely fast, the edge of the iron plate has become a sharp knife, the war horse connected with the horse's head and the first two horse legs instantly separated, Zhu Di fell to the ground in the violent vibration, and the blood of the horse splashed all over him, looking at the iron plate in front of him, Zhu Di only felt a chill from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, and his scalp exploded.
"There is fraud!"
In the city gate hole, the guards were shocked, they drew their knives out of the sheath, and slashed and killed the guards in the doorway, they set up Zhu Di and ran out, Zhu Di did not come back to his senses at this time, several guards sent him to the war horse, slapped the horse stock fiercely, and the horse fled towards the outside of the city, and Tie Xuan in the distance was already looking at it at this moment.
Just a little, just a little! Zhu Di, why don't you die?!
Everyone was stunned by this sudden variable, and the officials who thought that the surrendered Yan King had a future were even more stunned on the spot, the cheers on the city wall stopped, and it became a dead silence, and after a while, the earth-shattering cry rang out, Tie Xuan couldn't feel sorry anymore, and hurriedly gave the order to shoot Zhu Di, and the defenders on the city wall reacted in hindsight, and took out their bows and arrows one after another, shooting at the back of the panic fleeing.
The rain of arrows fell from the sky, Zhu Di had come back to his senses at this time, because he was surrendered, he did not have a sword on his body, he could only protect his head and face and run wildly, and thanks to the fact that he was wearing three layers of leather armor, the arrow could only penetrate two layers of leather armor when it fell down the city, and the war horse under him was also handsome, and the speed was faster after being injured, and one person and one horse fled back to the military formation like this, and he had become a hedgehog happily.
Surrender! Tie Xuan, this bastard, is really a trick to surrender!
At present, the scorching sun, Zhu Di felt chills all over, he turned over and dismounted, and he had been hit by many arrow wounds on his body, but he was extremely lucky, there were no fatal injuries, several generals ran to him with a rolling belt, and saw that he was fine, so he almost howled under the great sorrow and joy, especially Zhu Gaoxi, who saw his father running wildly in the rain of arrows, at that moment he really thought that his father was going to die, and at this time he still couldn't slow down, and his face was white with fright.
At this time, Zhu Di tore off the tattered robe of the vassal king, took off the three-layer leather armor that was still hanging with arrows, and looked back at the Jinan City Gate that almost killed him, and couldn't help gritting his teeth and being angry, just eager to swallow the insidious and vicious Tie Xuan into his stomach:
"Siege! Besiege! The dog thief dares to deceive me, if it falls into my hands, you will be better off than dead! ”
And before the Yan army made a move, the gate of Jinan City had been closed fiercely, Tie Xuan Sheng Yong rushed to the head of the city, saw Zhu Di fleeing back to the Yan army's military formation, couldn't help sighing, seeing that the soldiers and civilians on the city wall were all stunned and at a loss, he restrained his emotions and said in a loud voice:
"Don't panic, it's just a trick, quickly pick up swords, guns, bows and arrows to defend the city! Yan Wei survived, and he definitely refused to spare the soldiers and civilians in the city, and now there is no way out! For today's plan, only by defending the city and waiting for reinforcements can there be a glimmer of life, even if he dies, it is also to sacrifice his life for the country and serve the king! ”
Everyone was silent, and after a while, the crying was everywhere, and the Yan army on the opposite side had already moved, as if they were going to attack the city, that nightmarish day... It's coming back again.
The two men who were clamoring just now to do it because they were trampled on also lost their fighting spirit, and Gu Huai, who was empty-handed, was still fighting just now, but now there was no need for it, so he smiled and withdrew his hand.
Dangerous... It seems that he really guessed correctly, Tie Xuan is not the kind of person who will surrender, and he is just a Zhu Di, although he didn't guess that he did something in the city gate hole, but the broken bowl that he pretended to be unbalanced and fell from just now really disrupted his plan.
Speaking of which, thanks to these two tall brothers... The city is too crowded, Gu Huai's hands are quite dark, the man with his toes being trampled and swollen really didn't hold back this evil breath, Gu Huai arched the fire again, and the two almost fought, and they couldn't pull it, of course, even if they didn't make trouble, Gu Huai always had to find a way to throw the broken bowl down, anyway, everyone's eyes were on Zhu Di... Who would notice such a broken bowl?
It's also a shame that Zhu Di didn't go too far into the city gate, otherwise he would really have no power to return to the sky.
But Zhu Di finally picked up a life, what about him?
The shouting and killing was near, and he could already see the faces of the soldiers of the Yan army who had ascended the camp first, and the soldiers guarding the city scolded them to let them go down the city wall, Gu Huai sighed faintly, turned around and walked away.
I'm going to start fighting for my life again...
