Chapter 371: Jack Gate
Although he hadn't slept for two nights, Zhu Di, who was wearing armor, didn't look tired and decadent, at least on the surface.
He rode on a tall horse, still giving people a lot of oppression. Zhu Neng walked to Zhu Di's side, took the reins of the horse, and said to Zhu Di: "The last general knows that he can't move the prince, so let the last general go with the prince, even if Dongchang City is a sea of swords and fires, the last general is willing to follow the prince to break through."
Now that it has reached this point, the Yan army is not said to be at the end of the road, but at least the soldiers have no heart to fight, and this battle is really unfought.
But in this case, Zhu Neng still resolutely followed Zhu Di's side, which shows his loyalty.
Although his heart was moved, Zhu Di still shook his head and said loudly, "No need! Who in Dongchang City dares to be unfavorable to this king?
Shihong is waiting for the king here, there must always be someone in the military array, and these Yan Junerlang will ask Shihong.
Zhu Neng wanted to say something more, but he thought in an instant that Zhang Yu was still in the army now, if he entered the city with King Yan at this time, Zhang Yu's family would be dominant in the army, and if Zhang Yu really had a rebellious heart, there would be no way back if he couldn't negotiate here.
Thinking of this, Zhu Neng took half a step back, clasped his fist at Zhu Di and said, "Although the prince can rest assured, the last general will definitely guard this place and not let anyone have a chance.
After speaking, Zhu Neng looked around, and he also felt strange, why didn't he see Zhang Yu for such an important matter today?
Zhu Di nodded, and was about to set off with the guard battalion, but he didn't want to be interrupted by a voice at this moment.
"Slow down, lord." Everyone's eyes were drawn to the voice. The soldiers also moved out of the way.
I saw Zhang Yu and his son Zhang Fu walking over together. Zhang Yuding was dressed neatly with armor, but Zhang Fu was only wearing underwear, and his body was still tied with hemp rope.
Zhu Neng glanced at the father and son, and shouted, "Negotiation is imminent, Zhang Yu, what kind of demon are you doing at this time?
Zhang Yu ignored Zhu Neng, but walked to Zhu Di with Zhang Fu. Zhu Di frowned slightly, and asked, "What is Shimei doing?"
Zhang Yu saluted Zhu Di, and then saluted the soldiers on the left and right, and then said: "The representative of the court negotiators is my nephew, I know that some people are quite suspicious of me, and some people are worried that Dongchang City is a trap, so I brought my son and let my son enter the city with the prince, if my nephew has any bad intentions in the city, the prince can coerce my son to withdraw calmly."
Zhu Neng sneered, "Zhang Yu! You don't pretend garlic here, you don't know the face but you don't know the heart, who knows if your Zhang family will give up a son in exchange for glory and wealth?
Your Zhang Yu's son is not only Zhang Fu, right?" Hearing this, let alone Zhang Yu, even Zhang Fu was very angry, even if he had a rope tied to his body, he still gritted his teeth and wanted to go over and fight with Zhu Neng.
Fortunately, Zhang Yu was still relatively sober, he pulled Zhang Fu over, shook his head slightly, and then said: "My Zhang Yu does have other sons, all of whom were born to concubines in the past two years, and my sister-in-law is only one Zhang Fu.
Besides, my nephew is also pure by nature, as long as Zhang Fu is there, he will never do anything out of the ordinary.
Zhu Neng was still sneering, "Zhang Yu, I believe what you say, but how do you want me to believe in your nephew's character?
This is a war, how many people and how many families are at stake, but you are staking all this on the character of your nephew?
Zhang Yu, I can tell you without hesitation, I just don't believe you, I don't believe in your nephew, I only trust the steel knife in my hand!
If something really happens in this negotiation, what will you do to explain it to these soldiers?" Zhu Neng's words are indeed right, he has never met Zhang Yuan, how can he trust Zhang Yuan?
Zhang Yu also knew that he couldn't convince Zhu Neng, so he directly took off his top helmet, untied the long knife at his waist, and threw it on the ground.
"Just use my Zhang Yu's life, the soldiers of the three armies are here, if there is a conspiracy in Dongchang City, I, Zhang Yu, will be at your disposal!"
Zhu Neng's pupils shrank and he didn't say anything more. Zhu Di said at this moment: "Shimei doesn't have to be like this, this king believes in Shimei.
Zhang Fu, come here." Zhang Fu walked up to Zhu Di according to his words. Zhu Di didn't say a word, he directly took out the long knife on his waist and slashed it.
Zhang Fu was unharmed, but the rope tied to his body was cut, and he was somewhat unsure why, looking up at Zhu Di in a daze.
Zhu Di smiled slightly, and said loudly, "Go and get a good armor for Zhang Fu!" When you go to Dongchang City, you must always wear something majestic, otherwise how can you show the demeanor of my Yan Army?
In the past, our Yan army was able to kill Li Jinglong's hundreds of thousands of troops to the ground, and today's small Dongchang City, how can we scare away my Yan army boys?
Zhu Di's voice echoed at the scene, the whole army stood neatly, the spearmen pointed to the ground with guns, the sword and shield soldiers slapped their shields with their knives, and the whole army shouted three times: "No fear!
Fearless! Be fearless!" Yan Jun's fighting spirit seemed to be stirred up again at this moment. Zhang Yu also pulled Zhang Fu to kneel on one knee, and said loudly: "The last general thanked the prince for his trust, Zhang Yu swore to follow the prince to the death in this life!"
Such a noise in the Yan military camp naturally spread to the head of Dongchang City. Sheng Yong squinted his eyes and said, "I thought that the Yan army was powerless, but I didn't want to have such a high morale, this negotiation, I'm afraid it's not easy to negotiate.
Zhang Lu stood aside and shrugged his shoulders, and said, "Who knows, when King Yan comes, we can first explore the truth and listen to what King Yan wants."
Sheng Yong and Zhang Zhen both knew that if the grain and grass in the Daimyo Mansion were not burned, then the imperial court would have more confidence in negotiations, anyway, the grain and grass were sufficient, and as long as the negotiation process was delayed, the soldiers left behind in Hangzhou would have a training or something, showing the majesty of the imperial court soldiers.
But now that all the grain and grass in the Daimyo Mansion have been destroyed, even if this matter is not Zhu Di's doing, this kind of thing can't be hidden for too long.
At this time, if you can't negotiate, the initiative will be transferred to the Yan army. Sheng Yong was also helpless, so he could only sigh and said, "That's all.
On Yan Jun's side, Zhang Fu was already wearing a suit of armor. Zhu Di looked at Zhang Fu, couldn't help nodding, and said, "Zhang Fu has a good appearance, worthy of being the sister-in-law of Shimei, go, and follow this king to Dongchang City to see the scenery."
Zhu Di said it arrogantly, and Zhang Fu immediately received the order: "Zhang Fu will not disgrace the prestige of the Yan army.
Then he got on his horse. Zhu Di nodded, waved the whip in his hand, and the war horse under his crotch galloped out directly.
Zhu Di's personal guards also rode horses and followed closely behind. In the puffs of smoke and dust, Zhu Di led people towards Dongchang City.
The two sides were very close, but in an instant, Zhu Di arrived at the foot of Dongchang City, he lowered his horse speed, and looked up at Zhang Zhen and Sheng Yong on the city.
The two also looked at Zhu Di at this moment and saluted respectfully, even if they had already taken away the title, but as an opponent, Zhu Di was still worthy of respect.
Zhu Di rode on the horse, but his forehead was slightly counted as a response. Then he went to the city gate, but no one knew that in the gatehouse at the head of Dongchang City, there was already a person dressed as a Ming army at this moment, and he slowly pulled out a long knife from his waist.
The closer he got to the city gate, the more flustered Zhu Di's heart became, he only thought it was because he hadn't slept for two nights, so he didn't think much about it.
Just as he was about to enter the city gate, a birdsong suddenly sounded in the sky. The man in the gatehouse suddenly opened his eyes and directly cut off the brake wheel beside him.
This gate wheel is used to fix the jack gate of Dongchang City, and now there is no restraint, and the jack gate will fall straight down.
Zhu Di wanted to raise his eyes to see where the bird call came from, but he didn't want to raise his head, he was directly scared into a cold sweat, he watched the gate weighing more than 1,000 catties fall, and it was too late to retreat.
I heard the sound of "Duang", and the gate fell heavily. Fortunately, the mount that smashed the door and stuck to Zhu Di fell, and it did not hit Zhu Di.
Zhu Di was so frightened that he was in a cold sweat, and the mount under his crotch also stood upright because of fright. Zhu Di didn't think about it, he directly turned the horse's head and walked towards the Yan army, this Dongchang City, I'm afraid it's really a trap.
Sheng Yong and Zhang Lu on the city tower naturally heard the loud noise, and also saw the scene of Zhu Di riding away.
Zhang Lu secretly said that it was not good in his heart, and immediately pushed the door into the gatehouse. It's just that now in addition to the destroyed sluice wheel in the gatehouse, where are there any figures?
Sheng Yong also followed closely behind, and he asked, "What's the situation?" Zhang Yan took a deep breath and said, "The jack gate has been cracked, I think it shocked King Yan, it seems that there are people who don't want the negotiation to go smoothly.
Sheng Yong looked outside the door and said, "King Yan is frightened, and he won't trust me to wait in the future, so it's better to take this opportunity to capture King Yan in one fell swoop."
Hearing this, Zhang Yu hurriedly pressed Sheng Yong's arm and said, "General, no, my uncle is the general of the Yan army, let me go, I will definitely persuade the king of Yan to come back to negotiate."
Sheng Yong glared at Zhang Yuan, took Zhang Yuan's hand off his arm, and said: "I am General Pingyan, this negotiation has not been negotiated, whether it is man-made or not, it is also the will of God, now Zhu Di and his main force are outside the city, and my soldiers and horses are also outside the city, and they are fighting with Dongchang City, as long as they attack now, they will be able to defeat the Yan army!"
I have no reason to pass up this great opportunity." Zhang Lu immediately spoke, "Has the general forgotten that Your Majesty has asked me to take full responsibility for this matter?
Sheng Yong said softly: "I haven't forgotten, this is the case, I will go to Your Majesty to ask for guilt!" After speaking, Sheng Yong went down the city wall, he got on his horse and led people to pursue Zhu Di, but the east gate had been blocked, and he had to take a detour.
Sheng Yong commanded his subordinates to blow the horn of attack while hurrying. Night rivers and lakes. (After reading it, remember to bookmark it for next time!)
