Chapter 129: The Last Faith
The main camp of the Ning Wang Army outside the city!
The mood of Zhu Yuzhen, the king of Ning, has reached the extreme, and he rebelled more than a month ago. In less than two months, all the way to conquer the city, the momentum was like a bamboo, and countless Ming troops were defeated in their own hands.
Moreover, the elite troops of the Ming Dynasty have been transferred to the front line, and now the troops in the capital have not been on the battlefield for a long time. In his opinion, they are all useless ornaments, and the attack on the capital is imminent.
He seemed to have seen that the throne was beckoning to him, and the throne he had always dreamed of was finally in his hands. The successive victories strengthened his confidence, and it took only thirty-three days to attack all the way from Zhuozhou to the capital, and at this moment this magnificent imperial capital was completely exposed to his iron hooves.
In his opinion, the capital is just a ceremony, the elites are no longer there, and Zhu Yujun still has the ability to fight by himself. The remaining defenders were nothing more than chickens and dogs in his eyes, and the army collapsed as soon as it arrived. He even thought that as long as his army came to the city, he didn't have to fight the people in the city at all, and he would be frightened and obediently come out and surrender.
At the last military meeting before the attack, he looked confidently at his men. The pride was overflowing, and he encouraged his subordinates with a loud voice. Tell them that victory is at hand, and that the city is vulnerable. As long as this city is captured, the Ming Dynasty will change hands from then on, you are the founding heroes of the new dynasty, countless gold and silver treasures, antiques and rare treasures will become our bag.
For a while, the officers and men of the whole army were excited, and it seemed that they had seen countless gold and silver treasures, and countless beauties and beauties had become their own bags. As long as you conquer this city beauty, there will be as many treasures as you want, and everyone's eyes will reveal boundless greed.
The camp of the Ghost Kingdom, which was built next to the main military camp of King Ning, was a solemn scene at this time. The marshal of the ghost country this time is Hideyoshi Maha. This person is familiar with the art of war, is well versed in strategy, and is brave and good at fighting, and is known as the first general of the ghost country.
Zhenyu Chiba stands on Yan Mountain overlooking the capital of the Ming Dynasty, or it won't be long before the Ming Dynasty falls into the hands of the ghost country. The wish of the ghost country for thousands of years was finally realized, but at this time, she did not have the slightest excitement.
She doesn't like war, but she can't help herself, which is what the ghost country has been looking forward to for thousands of years. She was powerless to stop it, and it was useless for her to be reluctant to do so, but fortunately, she was going to leave as soon as this matter was over, and the rights and wrongs here had nothing to do with her anymore.
However, at this time, Xiao Wuxie's shadow appeared in her mind, although she had only seen Xiao Wuxie twice, but it left a deep impact on her heart. Especially his evil eyes, which would appear in the depths of her mind every time she dreamed back at midnight.
She has always been like a stagnant water, and she doesn't understand why she misses Xiao Wuxie, if this is love. Inevitably, it came too quickly, knowing that the two sides were in a hostile position, why did they have such complicated feelings.
In fact, she didn't understand what her feelings for Xiao Wuxian were, maybe it was just Xiao Wuxie's evil that made her unforgettable, and she had no other intentions.
Looking at the cheering soldiers in King Ning's military camp, Zhenyu Chiba retracted his thoughts, and his brows couldn't help frowning slightly. Although she now has the absolute upper hand, she has a bad premonition, especially after seeing the soldiers who have not fought first, this uneasy feeling is even stronger.
But after analyzing the current situation, the Ming Empire has no power to return to the sky, and there is no chance of victory. They can be said to occupy all the advantages, and the strength of the army is far above the Ming Empire, it stands to reason that unless the gods descend to earth, the Ming Empire is definitely in a catastrophe.
However, this uneasy feeling is very real, and there is always a feeling that something unexpected will happen. After thinking about it for a while, he returned to the barracks and told his uncle Mawa Hideyoshi about his uneasiness.
"Chiba, you're too worried, now everything is under our control. The Ming Empire is no longer able to return to the sky, the reason why you feel this way is because it is the first time you participated in the war, so you don't have to think about it, go back and rest."
In this regard, Mayu Chiba is also worth nodding slightly, and returned to his camp. After all, she is not a professional soldier, and she also knows that it is just her feelings, and in the end, she just leaves this matter behind.
The final military mobilization was still being made in King Ning's camp, and everyone was immersed in great joy as the commander told them that victory was at hand. Everyone thinks so, and even King Ning is convinced of this.
However, the truth would tell him that the victory he was hoping for would never come. In this month, the capital is not just panicking, and all preparations for war are being carried out in an orderly manner in secret.
During this month, a lot of changes took place in the capital, the armory was opened, and the food was well prepared. But what has really changed is the hearts of the people, this is their last place to defend, here are their parents, wives and children, they have no way to retreat.
In order to protect their parents, their wives and children can only fight to the death against the invading enemy, as a soldier. They knew very well what the consequences of the war would be, and if the capital lost their parents, wives and children, they would be enslaved and humiliated in every way, and they would never tolerate such a thing.
Under the personal efforts of Zhu Youzhang, Yu Ziqian and Emperor Shenzong, the people and soldiers of the capital gradually came out of the initial panic. And they gradually believe that they will win this war, which is the strength of will and faith, because there are people they have to protect.
In Prime Minister Zuo's mansion, Zhu Youjiao, Yu Ziqian and Hua Liuliu gathered together, each frowning.
After a great purge, the imperial court hollowed out half of the imperial court. The generals who can lead the troops to fight have been transferred to the tripartite front, and the capital at this time is really a major general.
At this time of crisis, Yu Ziqian was named the secretary of the military department by Emperor Shenzong and commanded the military affairs of the whole city. Yu Ziqian is really under a lot of pressure, although he is extremely intelligent, but he only has the talent of the world, but he has no experience in leading troops to fight.
But now that there is no one available in the imperial court, he can only take it hard. Although he had physical defects, he had the ambition to govern the country since he was a child, and today is the time for him to be loyal to the country, so he has no hesitation.
Although Yu Ziqian is the grandson of Yu Mian, the prime minister of Zuo, he was not reused before this. The reason why he was promoted to the value of Dali is because of Yu Mian's merits on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is the grace of Emperor Shenzong to give Xiao Wuxian a gift. Even if Zhu Youzhu was able to enter the court, it was Xiao Wuxian who was secretly contributing.
At first, Emperor Shenzong and the two didn't pay much attention to it. But in the subsequent series of events, Emperor Shenzong realized the talents of Yu Ziqian and Zhu Youzhang, so the two became more and more valued. And Yu Ziqian's last time he was able to collect evidence of the minister's secret communication with King Ning, which is also the joint credit of him and Zhu Youjiao, of course, Zhu Yujun's support is indispensable.
"Ziqian, when will Wuxian come back" Hua Liuliu looked at Yu Ziqian, who was frowning, and asked.
Yu Ziqian slowly shook his head and looked up at the sky, "I don't know, he said that he would come back at the most critical moment, I believe him!"
