Chapter 260: Hold on
Zhang Yuqing didn't put her heart back in her stomach until Lu Wei came up, and when she came back to her senses, she found that her legs and stomach were shaking.
Lu Wei shook off the blood on the long knife, rubbed his chin, and snorted coldly, very regretful, "Qi Shengtian, this kid has a big fate!" ”
Under the city, Jin Yongxiu's army had already sounded the horn of attack, and a large number of heavily armored troops rushed towards Jincheng.
Everyone clenched the knives in their hands, and everyone knew in their hearts that what would greet them next would be the hardest battle.
For a while, thousands of arrows were fired on the city wall, and hot oil, bricks, and gold juice all fell down, repelling wave after wave of attacks. However, Jin Yongxiu seemed to have taken ecstasy, and fell into a collision with Jincheng, completely ignoring his own casualties, the horn of attack kept blowing, and whoever dared to retreat would cut off someone's head with a knife, forcing the soldiers to continue to rush to the city wall.
Although the soldiers on Zhang Yuqing's side were not afraid of death, and they also mobilized the people of Jincheng to transport stones and boil hot water, they couldn't stand the large number of people on Jin Yongxiu's side, and the ladder to climb the city was quickly erected, and the first soldier to climb the city appeared at the head of the wall and was stabbed down.
And under the city is a steady stream of soldiers who continue to climb up, and the black pressure is like a tide, and it can't be killed.
Fang Mo rushed up the city wall with a large box, and when he saw that there were many soldiers gathered, he took out an iron grenade from the box and threw it, blowing up a large number of people, and flesh and blood flew everywhere.
Jin Yongxiu's army had never seen such a terrifying weapon, and they were all frightened for a while, not daring to rush forward again, and several staff generals cut off the heads of several soldiers in succession, but they did not eliminate the soldiers' fear of war.
If you are killed by this thing, you will be torn apart, and you will not be humanoid, but in comparison, cutting off your head is much gentler.
"Those Red Lotus Sect disciples are not good at witchcraft!" One of Jin Yongxiu's lieutenants shouted in a trembling voice.
Jin Yongxiu shouted: "What nonsense! Still don't understand? This is the iron grenade of Liangzhou! ”
"Iron grenades?!" The adjutant general is even more frightened, who has never heard of the power of an iron grenade, a small iron grenade is enough to take the lives of dozens or even hundreds of people, "Lord Wang, let's ......"
Before the word withdrawal was spoken, Jin Yongxiu drew his sword and cut off the head of the deputy general, and shouted angrily: "Stupid, you haven't seen it yet? The iron grenade is the top secret of Liangzhou, the iron grenade has appeared, and Lu Wei and his wife are set in this city! It was Lu Wei who went down to the city tower to assassinate Qi Shengtian before! Conquer this city at all costs today! ”
The generals looked at the detached corpses of their colleagues and were silent.
"Are Lu Wei and his wife captured alive or ......?" someone asked boldly.
Jin Yongxiu saw the fear in everyone's eyes, softened his tone and said: "The transportation and storage of that iron grenade is extremely harsh, the number that Lu Wei can bring over is limited, it won't last long, there are many of us, there is nothing to be afraid of." As for Lu Wei and his wife, it is best to capture them alive, and they can't just kill them! ”
All the generals said yes, they could hide behind, let the soldiers charge forward as cannon fodder, and consume the grenades.
"The generals will obey!" Jin Yongxiu raised his breath and looked around at his subordinates, "Who can send the heads of Sheng Guixin, Lu Wei and Mrs. Lu to this king, even if there is only one, this king will crown him as the prince of the country, hereditary replacement!" ”
Although Jin Yongxiu is only the regent, Jin Yongxiu knows that he is already an emperor, and casually promises to make his subordinates a prince, and he doesn't take the little emperor of the capital seriously at all.
In this way, under the continuous attack of the soldiers who rushed forward to send people's heads, the iron grenade in Fang Mo's hand quickly bottomed out, and seeing that there was only one iron grenade left, Zhang Yuqing held down Fang Mo's hand, "Keep one." ”
Fang Mo was slightly surprised, "Madam." ”
"You don't have to follow me, you go to protect Lu Wei, if you encounter danger, this iron grenade is the last thing to save your life." Zhang Yuqing said.
"But ......" Fang Mo was anxious.
Zhang Yuqing stretched out his hand and pressed down, stopping him from saying later, "Go quickly!" ”
The east gate of Jincheng is guarded by Sheng Guixin, who undertakes most of the troops, and the west gate with the weakest defense of the city wall is guarded by Lu Wei, and the remaining two gates are guarded by Sheng Guixin's men.
Zhang Yuqing's heart was nervous and anxious, and she looked up at the sky.
She felt that time had passed for a long time, and every minute and every second had passed like a year, but the sun was about to rise a foot high, and the reinforcements did not know when they would arrive.
What if they didn't hold on before reinforcements arrived......
Zhang Yuqing took a deep breath, before the last moment, you can't talk about success or failure lightly.
The inhabitants of the city removed the beams and planks of the houses, removed the bricks and tiles used to build the houses, and carried them up the city tower in a continuous manner. The Jin army's offensive was repulsed wave after wave, and the Jin army who climbed up through the ladder was also killed by the soldiers in time, and the corpses were thrown under the city, and the corpses under the city were piled up more and more.
But even so, Zhang Yuqing's mood was still worried, the number of the other party was too large, and by piling up corpses, they could pile up on the city tower sooner or later, what would they rely on to resist Jin Yongxiu's army at that time?
The sound of the city gates slamming was deafening.
Jin Yongxiu sat on the horse, watching the soldiers charge forward, watching the soldiers carry the thick log around the two of them and slam the door, and his heart couldn't help but feel the pleasure of gritting his teeth.
Back then in Nanyang City, he defended the city like a lost dog, and Sheng Guixin attacked the city, Sheng Guixin also broke through the city gate several times, and he was scared all day long. It was the battle of Nanyang that killed Emperor Taichang inexplicably, causing him to encounter the biggest crisis in his life, almost being dismissed, and even being killed by the new emperor.
Now it seems that Zhang Yuqing and Sheng Guixin are concubines, and they have lived together for many years as adopted brothers and sisters, what else does he not understand? It must be Zhang Yuqing who is in the city and Sheng Gui who is outside the city should be in harmony with each other, and they deceived and designed to coerce Emperor Taichang out of the city, and then killed Emperor Taichang and blamed him.
Jin Yongxiu's hateful teeth creaked.
Zhang Yuqing, the poisonous woman, pretended to be pure at the time, and deceived all of them, thinking that such a big thing had nothing to do with her, an inner house woman, who would have thought that this poisonous woman was the mastermind behind the scenes!
But it doesn't matter, Jin Yongxiu's hideous face softened a little.
Feng Shui takes turns, today it was replaced by him attacking the city, Sheng Guixin defending the city, and when he broke through the city, he killed Zhang Yuqing, Sheng Guixin, Lu Wei and the three of them, God still treats him well.
Zhang Yuqing was arranged to the safest south gate, standing on the city tower and nervously looking at the direction of the main gate.
At this time, the troops besieging the main gate gradually dispersed, and the soldiers defending the city happily asked each other, "Are they going to retreat?" ”
Before Zhang Yuqing had time to be happy, she found that some of the soldiers who had retreated from the main gate began to rush in the direction of the south gate where she was, and it turned out that Jin Yongxiu saw that he could not attack for a long time, so he changed his strategy, from concentrating his forces to attack the main gate to attacking the other three gates, wanting to attack Jincheng from other places.
"Quick! Go and guard the gates! Zhang Yuqing shouted loudly.
Sheng Guixin and Lu Wei also led troops to support as soon as possible, and both of them ran to the south gate where Zhang Yuqing was.
However, at this moment, a soldier guarding the city ran over with a bloody face and shouted, "Holy Maiden, the Lord guarding the north gate is dead!" ”
"What?!" Zhang Yuqing was shocked, "Did the imperial army enter the north gate?" ”
The soldier shook his head and shouted in fear, "I don't know ......"
The death of the leading general must have caused great confusion in the army. At this critical moment, a raging fire broke out at the north gate, and more and more Jin soldiers climbed the city wall from the north gate.
Sheng Guixin immediately led people to the north gate, and Lu Wei also pulled Zhang Yuqing down the city wall.
On the streets of Jincheng, a panicked crowd fled in other directions from the north, and a stream of imperial troops poured in from the north gate. Fortunately, Sheng Guixin arrived in time, so that someone poured out the fire and closed the breached city gate again.
As for the court army that took advantage of the chaos to run in, there were at most one or two hundred people, and if it was not a climate, they only needed to catch turtles in the urn to wipe out all these court troops.
Lu Wei pulled Zhang Yuqing to a private house and pulled Zhang Yuqing into the door.
There were more than fifty guards with knives standing in the courtyard, seeing that the clothes and equipment were all produced in Liangzhou, the little county king sat in the middle with a cane, surrounded by the guards, and the maids and guards carried by the little county king were gone.
"What's going on?" Zhang Yuqing asked in astonishment, this looks like Lu Wei put the little county king under house arrest.
Lu Wei glanced at the little county king with a cold face, "You stay here first, don't go out, this person's purpose is not pure, don't believe him, don't pay attention to him!" ”
Zhang Yuqing nodded, Lu Wei turned around with a knife and left, and Fang Mo followed closely behind.
"You didn't run either?" The little county king glanced at Zhang Yuqing contemptuously.
Zhang Yuqing smiled slightly, "Your Highness, this word is also wrong, you didn't run because you were a cripple and couldn't run, I didn't run because I didn't want to run." ”
"Humph!" The little king sneered and closed his eyes.
After a while, red fireworks suddenly burst into the sky, and a sharp whistling sounded.
When the little county king heard the sound, he immediately took out something from his arms, Zhang Yuqing couldn't stop it, the little county king had already opened the fuse, and the red flame went straight to the sky.
After a while, the gate of the courtyard was violently slammed.
The guards all rushed to the gate with nervous expressions, blocking the gate with their bodies, leaving only a few guards guarding Zhang Yuqing's side.
At this time, there were a few flutters in the backyard, and several people ran over the wall to the front yard, and the leader was Qi Shengtian, who was supported by several subordinates and had an arrow in his shoulder.
Zhang Yuqing took a step back, and several guards stepped forward to block her.
Qi Shengtian must have taken advantage of the fact that the north gate was breached, and entered the city in the imperial army. He was wearing the clothes of the people, not the official uniforms of the imperial army, and the situation in the city was chaotic, so the people on Zhang Yuqing's side didn't notice that they were enemy people, so they got mixed here.
Seeing Zhang Yuqing, Qi Shengtian simply had a new hatred and old hatred in his heart.
The little county king didn't expect that only a few people from Qi Shengtian came, and most of them were injured, but he couldn't help but dislike it, and immediately got up on crutches, "Commander Qi, come and save this king!" ”
