Chapter Thirty-Eight: One Hundred Thousand Iron Horsemen Besiege the Capital
This time, the leader of Warat was Zhao Meiyun, the princess of Warat, and at the same time, he also brought a master of the desert, among which the first master of the desert, the sect master of the Tantric Sect, was among them. Zhao Meiyun and Xiwen are also the last two elders of Zixiao Tower, Xiwen is the fifteenth elder of Zixiao Tower, and Zhao Meiyun is the sixteenth elder of Zixiao Tower.
The Wara army had suffered the losses of the Ming Dynasty, and when Zhu Qizhen was captured, they still held the capital to the death. Now that they have been cultivating for so long, it is not easy for Warat to break through the capital.
Zhao Meiyun's plan is very simple, that is, to give Daming a deterrent, so that the Purple Emperor can succeed. They were just putting on a show, which also made the people of the Ming Dynasty panic.
Shi Heng came to the city gate and saw the black-pressed Warat army, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. The Ming Dynasty experienced the Battle of Tumubao, with huge losses and great losses. Although they were not afraid of Warat, they still had a headache when they really wanted to fight.
"Who is the commander, and what is the intention of besieging the capital? Shi Heng shouted.
"The world takes turns to sit, you Daming have sat long enough. Princess Zhao Meiyun came out of the ranks.
Shi Heng had never met Princess Wara, but he had heard of her name. She is a rare heroine among women, she only hates not being a man, otherwise she will be in danger.
"It turned out to be the princess in person. The two armies are fighting, and it is the people who suffer, so why should the princess?" Shi Heng persuaded bitterly.
"I didn't expect General Shi Heng to be so eloquent, and he wanted to withdraw my 100,000 army with saliva. Zhao Meiyun didn't eat Shi Heng's set at all, and sneered.
Of course, Shi Heng knew that Zhao Meiyun would not retreat so easily, but he just didn't give up any opportunity.
"What does the princess want to do before she withdraws? I'm not afraid of you. Seeing that persuasion was useless, Shi Heng's tone suddenly became stiff and said.
"It's easy for us to withdraw from the army, and recognize Zhu Jianxue's position as the crown prince. Zhao Meiyun said lightly.
Shi Heng said, "It's not something I can control, it depends on their ability." ”
Zhao Jianxue's position as the crown prince is all in the battle between the righteous and the demon. If the righteous path wins, Zixiao Tower will go wherever it should go. If Zixiaolou wins, whoever the Purple Emperor wants to be the crown prince, he will let whoever he wants to be the prince.
Shi Heng breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that Zhao Meiyun had no intention of attacking hard. An army of 100,000 is no joke. Shi Heng did not let his guard down and stepped up his patrols, while urging the troops of the southern provinces to come quickly.
Originally, there were three battalions in the capital, but at the time of the Battle of Tumubao, they were all consumed. The only strength in the capital is 10,000 forbidden troops. They must mobilize troops from the periphery as soon as possible to deal with this catastrophe.
After Sun Zheng received the order, he began to recruit migrant workers. It is not difficult to recruit migrant workers, but the difficulty is that they have no combat effectiveness, and it is really not enough to face the wolf-like Warat army.
Sun Zheng took the time to report the latest news to Zhu Feifei, and Zhu Feifei's unintentional words reminded him. Zhu Feifei said that during the reign of the second brother, the number of death row prisoners in the capital increased dramatically. Most of these death row inmates are outlaws.
Sun Zheng remembered the difficulty of defending the capital, and these death row prisoners were a good combat force. Sun Zheng, as a celebrity in Zhu Qizhen, has no difficulty in mobilizing death row prisoners.
Sun Zheng released a total of 5,000 prisoners and 2,000 death row prisoners. There was a bloody aura on the death row prisoner, which made Sun Zheng very satisfied.
"There is a siege of 100,000 varat outside the capital, and the city is broken, and you will die. Now, all you have to do is kill the enemy with me, and kill three Warat soldiers, and you will be exempted from the death penalty. Five Warat soldiers will be free. The more you kill, there are other rewards. ”
These death row inmates were already desperate, but when they saw hope again, their eyes brightened a little. A man with a full beard and eyes like balls shouted loudly, "General Sun, you can be counted as talking. ”
Sun Zheng said loudly: "Of course." ”
"Okay, fuck it, there's no way to survive anyway, so it's better to give it a go. ”
"It's better to give it a go. ”
......
Sun Zheng was very satisfied with their performance, nodded and said, "Dress up and go." Sun Zheng took a group of prisoners and headed towards the city gate.
Zhao Meiyun had not heard Zhao Jianxue's signal at the appointed time, so she couldn't bear it anymore, raised her right hand, and shouted, "Siege." ”
Suddenly, the trumpets sounded and the horses' hooves roared. An army of 100,000 moved in response to the order, and slaughtered the city gate in black pressure.
There are nine gates in the capital, and Zhao Meiyun didn't want to use any strategy, but directly attacked hard, and attacked Deshengmen from where she came. This gate is the gate that Zhu Qizhen used to enter the city when he came back.
The bowstrings fell, the rocks fell, and the shouts of killing, shouting, and crying were endless. This place suddenly became the hell of Shura. Countless soldiers were wounded, countless soldiers died.
Sun Zheng led the death row prisoners just in time, and he was no longer verbose, pulled out his long sword, and shouted, "Everyone, your fate is in your own hands, kill." ”
"Kill ......"
Many of the prisoners on death row were wronged, and most of them were vicious and vicious, shouting with their mouths out, but their legs were withdrawn backwards.
Sun Zheng has been mixed from the low level of officialdom to the present, how can he not know the urine nature of these people, there are already six doors waiting for the back, and if someone escapes, he will go up with a knife and be hacked to death in an instant. Mengsheng .mengshengxs.
Four or five death row inmates who tried to escape were instantly shattered corpses.
"If you want to escape, this is the end. Sun Zheng said without a trace of emotion, and completely suppressed the death row inmate. They didn't dare to get up again, and according to Sun Zheng's arrangement, they began to participate in the battle.
Sun Zheng was shocked by the scene in front of him, he had never seen such a scene. He has always been dealing with some cases of vendetta in the rivers and lakes, and has never participated in the battle between the two armies. It turns out that the battle is like this.
Sun Zheng's long sword swung quickly, smashing the oncoming long arrows. The battlefield is chaotic, and if you are not careful, you will be shot to death by a chaotic sword. He has cultivation in his body, and he can resist it. If there is no cultivator standing on the city wall, after a while, he will be turned into a corpse.
The attack of Warat was ferocious, and the Praetorian army and death row prisoners were immediately unable to resist. The gates must not be lost. If the city gate is lost, the Ming Dynasty is in danger.
"General Sun, how much the people have collected, I can't stand it. Shi Heng shouted with his helmet crooked and blood on his face.
Sun Zheng said with some reluctance: "Minding has recruited 20,000 people, but none of them have any combat experience!"
Shi Heng didn't care about Sun Zheng's expression, and shouted, "Hurry up and let them come up, the city gate must not be lost." ”
Sun Zheng put away the unbearability in his heart, and knew that it was not a woman's kindness at this moment, so he waved his hand, "Let them come up." ”
20,000 people came up, and the crisis on the city gate was temporarily alleviated, but it still didn't last long. The Warat army is too strong. The Warat soldiers run all day in the steppe and are very strong. Their archery skills were so great that five out of ten soldiers were archers.
The army of the Ming Dynasty was a rabble. If it were not for the possession of the city walls. The Ming army had long been defeated.
Shi Heng and Sun Zheng had no choice but to hope that the troops from other places would arrive soon and come to their aid. The beacon fire has been lit, the messenger has set out, and whether he can arrive or not can only depend on the will of heaven.
Warat lives in the northern desert of the capital all the year round, and has made the greatest efforts to cross Datong and transport 100,000 troops. There should be no way for them to intercept the army from the south of the capital to come to support.
Sun Zheng thought of this, and he was relieved. If the army south of the capital is also intercepted. The capital is really dangerous.
Ye Han didn't have time to care about the war between the two armies, and he didn't want to care. This is Zhu Qizhen's business. He didn't want to get involved. He's just a charlatan.
He also heard that Zhu Qizhen put Yu Qian and other ministers who supported Zhu Qiyu's ascension to death row, and planned to execute him. Ye Han had no intention of getting involved. This is the government and politics, not something that a person in the rivers and lakes can manage.
The battle between the Purple Emperor and Zhao Jian was already in a white-hot state, fighting from outside the palace gate to the top of the Forbidden City.
At this moment, Zhu Qizhen was hiding in a corner of the harem, trembling. The movement of the Purple Emperor and Zhao Jian was too great, and they demolished the palace one by one.
Ye Han stood not far from where Zhu Qizhen was hiding, staring at the battle. He had been looking for an opportunity, but he had not found it.
Both of them made very fast moves, like two balls of light rolled together, and it was difficult to distinguish each other. Ye Han saw it very clearly. Zhao saw that his clothes were messy and the corners of his mouth were bloody, and it was only a matter of time before he failed.
Ye Han thought, "I can't wait any longer." "If Zhao Jian is really defeated, he won't be able to win the Purple Emperor alone. Ye Han also gave up the sneak attack, the Holy Realm cultivation was as smooth as heaven, and there was no chance of a sneak attack at all.
Ye Han squatted down to accumulate strength and rushed forward suddenly. He ran out of time and had to make a move.
When the Purple Emperor and Zhao Jian were fighting, their ears were listening to the eight directions, and they had already noticed Ye Han's existence.
Ye Han suddenly rushed over, and he also reacted. The sword qi of the long sword suddenly soared, splitting Zhao Jian into the air, and swinging the sword just caught the sword formation formed by Ye Han's four swords.
"This is the sword technique handed down by the Sword Master, and that's it. With a light sword, the Purple Emperor directly broke Ye Han's sword formation, and at the same time knocked Ye Han out.
Ye Han squirted a mouthful of blood wildly before he relieved the power coming from the Purple Emperor's long sword, and once again he used his skills, and the four swords became again.
Zhao Jian didn't stop, and waved the Buddha dust again to kill him. A two-person fight turned into a three-man fight.
Ye Han's cultivation is too far behind, and he doesn't cooperate very well with Zhao Jian, and the effect is not as good as Zhao Jian's ability to deal with the Purple Emperor alone.
Zhao Jian didn't blame Ye Han, Ye Han's addition gave him a chance to catch his breath for a while. After all, he is old, and he really can't stand such a high-intensity battle.
Ye Han had already opened the "Golden Needle Lock Acupoint**" before he went on the field, but it still had no effect, he could only help Zhao Jian share some strength, and he couldn't defeat the Purple Emperor at all.
"Wind, rain, thunder and lightning. Ye Han shouted, and the four swords merged, looking like a huge cage, falling towards the Purple Emperor. The sky also changed color, and in the blink of an eye it became cloudy, lightning shone brightly, and thunder roared.
"Good momentum. The Purple Emperor casually swung his sword towards the sky, as if he had split a hole in the sky. Ye Han's sword formation broke in response. Ye Han was also smashed down, directly from the roof to the ground. The position where Ye Han fell was right in front of Zhu Qizhen.
"Bloody Marquis, you must defeat him! I can only rely on you. Zhu Qizhen saw the strength of the Purple Emperor and shouted tremblingly.
Ye Han said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will definitely defeat him." ”
After Ye Han said this, he flew towards the sky again. He was answering Zhu Qizhen's words, and he was also answering his heart. He had to give himself a little hope.
