Chapter Seventy-Two: Promise!
While Wang Quan looked at Li Zicheng with his eyes open and talking nonsense, he also expressed his meaning, that is, to let Wang Quan retreat with the Volunteers and give them the South Gate, otherwise, even if he let the Ming army fishermen benefit, he would inevitably do something to the Volunteers!
A cold light flashed in Wang Quan's eyes, since Li Zicheng had already said it so clearly, he didn't bother to make a false deal with Li Zicheng anymore, and said directly: "Li Zicheng, if you want my volunteers to give up the south gate to you, that's not impossible, it's just that you dare to make an agreement with me?"
When Li Zicheng heard this, his heart suddenly moved, and he said secretly: "Is he ready to let go? Young people are really young people, before the overall situation is decided, where do you have the courage to burn jade with me, then the so-called agreement, I'm afraid that it will not be able to save face, just leave an excuse, I want to see what agreement he wants to make with me!"
Thinking of this, Li Zicheng immediately said: "Okay, Fuhrer Wang, tell me, what agreement do you want to make with me?"
When Wang Quan heard this, he immediately said: "Li Zicheng, I will give you this south gate, my volunteer army, occupy the north gate and the west gate, you break into the king's army to occupy the south gate and the east gate, you and I each occupy two directions, let's compare and see who takes the Forbidden City first, who takes it first, then the Forbidden City is who's!"
Li Zicheng hesitated when he heard this, in fact, he saw that the volunteers arrived outside the Forbidden City almost at the same time as him, and even moved faster than their movements in four directions, almost letting the volunteers occupy three, they had an internal response to come so quickly, why did the volunteers come so quickly? Li Zicheng knew that if there was no internal response, he would never have come to the gate of the Forbidden City in such a short period of time, so Li Zicheng was not sure that he would be able to win the bet proposed by the royal power!
At this moment, Niu Jinxing, who had been following Li Zicheng, stepped forward, walked to Li Zicheng's side, and said, "King Chuang, my subordinates think that we can agree to the royal bet!"
When Li Zicheng heard this, he immediately raised his eyebrows, looked at Niu Jinxing, and said, "Do you think we can take the outer city and the inner city gate in such a short time, and hit the outside of the Forbidden City in one go?"
When Niu Jinxing heard Li Zicheng's words, he immediately smiled and said: "King Chuang, my subordinates feel that you are completely scaring yourself, and your subordinates admit that the volunteers are indeed well-trained, and the subordinates absolutely admit this, but no matter how well-trained the army is, it is impossible to fight from the outer city to the Forbidden City in such a short period of time, not to mention that it is a mere volunteer army, even from ancient times to the present, there is absolutely no army that can achieve this level!"
Li Zicheng's eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly said, "What do you mean?"
Niu Jinxing continued: "My subordinates feel that the volunteers can do this level in such a short period of time, as long as there are two possibilities, that is, they are also like us, there is a high-ranking and powerful internal response, and that internal response opens the door for them, so that they almost encounter resistance along the way, so that they can reach the outside of the Forbidden City almost at the same time as us." ”
"The second is that the Ming army guarding the capital has long been decayed, and it is useless at all, as soon as they see the volunteers attacking, they either surrender directly, or they flee in despair, and the volunteers almost did not encounter resistance, so they came directly to the outside of the Forbidden City, otherwise, the subordinates are really, I can't imagine what else there is to let the volunteers come to the outside of the Forbidden City so quickly, they are not as strong as you think!"
When Li Zicheng heard this, he immediately continued: "Yes, moreover, although the volunteers are elite, they are far inferior to our Chuang Wang Army in terms of numbers, plus we have just incorporated some of the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion in the capital, although those old soldiers can't fight any tough battles, but they can control the red-clothed cannons, we have also seen the power of those red-clothed cannons, with the walls of the Forbidden City, we can't hold a few cannons, so we have more than ninety percent chance of winning the volunteers!"
The bull Venus smiled again and said: "Besides, even if the volunteers really win, so what, as long as we bite to death and don't recognize this bet, with the number of volunteers, how is it our opponent, we can still take the Forbidden City, then the king knows each other, if he doesn't know each other, even his volunteers, we will destroy him together!"
These words hit Li Zicheng's heart, and the two glanced at each other, and a tacit smile appeared in their eyes at the same time!
Niu Jinxing saw that Li Zicheng had adopted his suggestion, and immediately rode back behind Li Zicheng again!
After Li Zicheng waited for Niu Jinxing to go back, he immediately shouted at Wang Quan: "Wang Quan, the gambling contract you proposed, we have taken it from Wang Jun! Wang Yuan, you should also leave with your people!"
Suddenly, Wang Quan's ears trembled, as if he had heard something, and a smile suddenly rose at the corner of his mouth, and he turned his head again, and said to Li Zicheng: "King Chuang, our gambling contract seems to be about to be decided!"
When Li Zicheng heard this, he frowned, looked at Wang Quan, and looked at Wang Quan with an unknown expression!
Before he could ask, he immediately heard a sound of neat footsteps coming from the Forbidden City, and then, he saw a team of about thousands of Jinyi guards appear on the wall of the Forbidden City in an instant, and the leader was the commander of the Jinyi Guard, who had dealt with the royal power several times-An Jianqing!
Li Zicheng naturally knew An Jianqing, and many of the high-ranking people in his army died in the hands of Jinyiwei, and many of them were An Jianqing's own hands!
Now when I see An Jianqing, combined with what Wang Quan just said, could it be that this An Jianqing is actually the internal response of their volunteers in the Ming army, how is this possible?
Without waiting for Li Zicheng to figure it out, he saw that the neatly arranged brocade guards suddenly gave way to a passage, and then, a man in his thirties, wearing bright yellow armor, walked out of the passage and stood beside An Jianqing, it was Chongzhen who had met Wang Quan!
After Chongzhen appeared, An Jianqing immediately stood on Chongzhen's side, his right hand pressed on the embroidered spring knife on his waist, and a pair of small eyes looked around, ready to block all attacks from the dark for Chongzhen!
After Chongzhen appeared on the city wall, he first glanced around, and immediately saw Wang Quan and Li Zicheng standing in the most conspicuous place below, he ignored Li Zicheng, looked directly at Wang Quan, and said, "I'm here!"
