Chapter 223: Black clouds crush the city and want to destroy it
Hui Shiyang, Zhu Chunchen, and Zhu Youzhen, these people were discussing matters here, but there were bursts of frightened voices from the city tower.
Zhu Chunchen instantly felt that his face was a little too hanging.
When the emperor inspected the city defense, his soldiers were so faceless, if he could save face, it would be really strange
Just as Zhu Chunchen twisted his head back and wanted to reprimand the noisy soldiers, he saw one of his generals hurriedly coming to him.
"Your Majesty, Chengguo Gong, it's not good, a large number of troops have come outside the city, it seems that the guards have arrived, and everything in Wuyang is full of people."
Zhu Chunchen was even more unhappy when he heard this, and rushed forward and slapped the general in the face, swaying the general on the spot.
It's just that the general covered his face tightly, but he didn't dare to talk back, he didn't understand why he came to report the military situation, but Zhu Chunchen chose to beat him.
"What are you calling a dog? It's nothing more than that Zhu Youxiao's army is coming, just 20,000 or 30,000 people, what are you afraid of? ”
"The army of our Jingying, plus the strong men who have come to assist us in defending the city, there are 70,000 or 80,000 people, and our number is three times that of those guards, and now it is not that we are afraid of him, but that they are afraid of us."
Now Zhu Chunchen and they don't know that Zhu Youxiao has added 200,000 troops, and it is no longer the 30,000 troops they have learned.
This Zhu Chunchen directly called out Zhu Youxiao's name, which also made Zhu Youzhen not very happy, and he even wondered in his heart whether this Zhu Chunchen would also call him by his name when he was away.
But he thinks that Zhu Chunchen has a sentence that is very right, even if Zhu Youxiao's army comes back, so what, it is nothing more than 20,000 or 30,000 people, can they still turn the sky upside down?
The general covered his face as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't dare to say it, and the slap just now slapped him in the face, almost pulling out his teeth.
Zhu Chunchen looked at the appearance of his subordinates who did not grow, how could he be happy in his heart, and continued to scold on the spot: "If you have any, hurry up and say it, in front of Your Majesty, what kind of system is this, if outsiders don't know, I still think that I, Zhu Chunchen, don't know how to discipline my subordinates." ”
When the general heard this, he finally didn't dare to hide it anymore, and hurriedly said: "Chengguo Gong, this thing doesn't seem to be right, there seem to be more and more troops rushing over outside the city, and it doesn't look like twenty or thirty thousand at all." ”
"We can't see the edge at all when we look at it from the top of the tower, let alone 20,000 or 30,000 people, let's just say that there are 200,000 or 300,000 subordinates who believe it."
This Zhu Chunchen was also stunned when he heard this, he wanted to say at first that this general didn't even know how to distinguish between 20,000 or 30,000 people and 230,000 people, and he wanted to continue to reprimand the other party.
But Zhu Chunchen immediately figured it out, I'm afraid that no matter how stupid this thing is, but the people who can be generals are 20,000 or 30,000 and 230,000, and it can be seen after all.
Zhu Youzhen over there, as well as Hui Shiyang, also heard the subtleties of this matter.
Zhu Youzhen was even more impatient to accuse, and said: "Zhu Chunchen, haven't you already sent spies to investigate clearly, my brother only brought back 20,000 or 30,000 troops when he came back this time, and it is impossible to have other troops?" How can you say that there are two or three hundred thousand people? ”
Zhu Chunchen was also very irritable in his heart, in fact, they originally said those words, but they just said them to Zhu Youzhen on purpose.
Their spies can't come back after they go out, and how can they know how many people there are on the other side?
Hui Shiyang over there saw that there was something wrong with the situation today, and hurriedly came out and said to Zhu Youzhen: "Your Majesty, the current situation, I still don't know what the situation is, after all, this Chengguo Gong is working hard, and some things are slightly negligent, and that is also a normal thing." ”
"What's more, from the perspective of Weichen, no matter how much this Zhu Youxiao changes, it can't change two or three hundred thousand people, there must be a misunderstanding in this, or let's go up to the city tower to take a look and see what the situation is."
What could Zhu Youzhen say, he could only take the lead and hurriedly rush to the top of the city tower.
It's just that every step he takes, he feels like his legs are filled with lead, and his heart is pounding.
At this time, he really preferred that the general was wrong, if it was really the general who was not wrong, then they would be in big trouble.
Zhu Youxiao, Zhu Chunchen and Hui Shiyang went up to the city wall and looked down, and saw a scene they never wanted to see again in their lives.
There were more than twenty phalanxes under the city, each of which looked to be about 10,000 men, of which there were 30,000 of the most elite troops, dressed in full armor, and then seventy or eighty cannons were arranged in front of the formation, all lined up, and the muzzles of the cannons were straight to the top of the tower.
And the other nearly 200,000 troops, which don't look like regular armies, basically don't wear armor on their bodies, and even if they have armor, it's the simplest armor, that is, two planks with a rope on their shoulders in the middle, one in front and one in the back.
Such a defense is obviously very weak, but they can definitely see that this army, no matter how unarmoured, is also trained, although they have no armor, but their mood is very high.
The two or three hundred thousand troops stayed outside the capital, which made Zhu Youzhen and others instantly think of a poem, the black clouds overwhelmed the city and wanted to destroy it, and the light of the armor opened to the sun.
Zhu Youxiao rode a war horse, wearing golden armor, and came out of the range of the city's artillery, pulled out the matching sword on his waist and pointed forward, shouting, "Da Ming is mighty!" ”
As soon as Zhu Youxiao's words came out, two or three hundred thousand people shouted in unison: "Daming is mighty, Daming is mighty!" ”
The voice shouted by more than 200,000 people can be described as earth-shattering, as if the clouds in the sky have forgotten to flutter, and this voice swept towards the city wall, shaking the hearts of every soldier defending the city, and also shaking the hearts of Zhu Youzhen and Zhu Chunchen.
Every soldier on the city tower was whispering, they had never fought a hard battle, and their discipline was more loose, not to mention compared with the elite of the Ming Dynasty, even compared with the ordinary army, it was not comparable.
Zhu Youxiao was very satisfied with the movement he caused, a little smile appeared on his face, and he suddenly shouted loudly: "The Ming army is mighty!" ”
More than 200,000 troops shouted loudly and neatly, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”
At this time, the soldiers on the city tower could no longer bear it, and a soldier from the Beijing camp was frightened by this murderous aura on the spot, and planted directly from the city tower.
Zhu Youzhen's face also became gloomy in an instant, but the depths of his eyes revealed more fear.
"Brother Shen!"
"Hmm!"
Shen Changqing walked on the road, and when he met someone he knew well, he would say hello to each other or nod his head.
But it doesn't matter who it is.
There was no superfluous expression on everyone's face, as if they were very indifferent to everything.
on this.
Shen Changqing is used to it.
Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, it is an institution that maintains the stability of Great Qin, and its main responsibility is to kill demons and monsters, and of course there are some other side jobs.
Arguably.
In the Demon Suppression Division, everyone has a lot of blood on their hands.
When a person is accustomed to seeing life and death, then he will become indifferent to many things.
When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but over time he got used to it.
The Demon Suppression Division is huge.
The people who can stay in the Demon Suppression Division are all powerful masters, or people who have the potential to become masters.
Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.
Among them, the Demon Suppression Division is divided into two professions, one is the town guard and the other is the demon exterminator.
Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Division starts with the lowest level of demon slayer.
Then step by step, he is expected to become a town guard.
Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level of the demon slayer envoys.
Have memories of the predecessor.
He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.
It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of an attic.
Unlike other places full of slaughter, the attic here seems to stand out from the crowd, and in the bloody Demon Suppression Division, it presents a different tranquility.
At this time, the attic door is open, and there are occasional people entering and exiting.
Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment, and then stepped in.
Access to the attic.
The environment has changed in vain.
A burst of ink fragrance mixed with the faint smell of blood came to his face, making his brow furrow instinctively, but quickly stretched.
The smell of blood on everyone's body in the Demon Suppression Division is almost impossible to clean.
