Chapter 42 Viciousness is the most readable
Shells are not arrows, and there is basically no accuracy in hitting people. www.biquge.info Zhao Yu knew that this cannonball would not hit him, but he still wanted to come with a hand, and the purpose was very obvious and terrifying.
Of course, if this shell is allowed to fall and ignored, the soldiers behind him will probably have to lose a few men.
This blow is shocking at the end.
Zhao Yu is not afraid of firearms and guns, and he has not seen many people. At the beginning, the feat of hard shelling outside the Lianshan Pass was only seen by Li Fuming's team. In addition, the Tartar army did not have time to organize a decent resistance, and it did not show such great strength. Therefore, even if there are a few rumors, the soldiers of various military towns in Liaodong also believe that Zhao Yu is the god of war, but there are not many who believe in such great power.
Can flesh and blood withstand artillery fire?!
But now, the awe-inspiring feat is in front of you!
Above and below the city, there were nearly 100,000 troops on both sides, and countless pairs of eyes stared blankly at the battlements and cannons at the head of the city that were shattered by the reflection of the cannonballs.
It's as if time stands still!
For a long time, these eyes, all in unison, looked at the horse standing in front of the formation, or fanatical, admiring, or frightened, shocked!
Under the morning sun, the tall figure of the rider exudes a circle of redness, as if the gods descended to earth, fierce and mighty!
At the head of the city, Zhang Xianzhong's subordinate Wu Yizi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly, someone exclaimed: "Father-in-law!"
Only then did they all react and hurriedly ran down the city tower.
Zhang Xianzhong couldn't hit Zhao Yu, but was bombarded. It's also thanks to his good luck, after a shot, he was shocked and was not directly hit by the counterattack.
But the fragments of the cannon barrels, gun carriages, and battlements shattered everywhere, but Zhang Xianzhong was covered in blood!
At this point, he was unconscious.
When the time comes, the city will be in chaos!
Under the city, at this time, a soldier came to report, but all kinds of arrangements were in place.
Zhao Yu was overjoyed, seeing the situation in the city, knowing that the fighter plane was in front of him, he shouted at the moment, rode his horse and galloped wildly, and rushed to the city gate!
On the city wall, it was not that no one saw it, but Zhang Xianzhong was seriously injured and unconscious, like a poisonous snake without a head, and he couldn't react to a plate of loose sand. Only a few arrows flew away, and before they landed, Zhao Yu arrived at the city gate.
Burst!
The huge iron cone slammed into the city gate, but it was like an iron rod inserting into the fine sand!
This is a manifestation of the strength condensed to the extreme!
Previously, when Zhao Yu broke Shouzhou and Huoqiu, he never carried ingenuity, and broke the city with brute force, and the movement was quite large. Of course, such a movement, on the battlefield, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages. On the battlefield, the greater the movement, the more it can intimidate the enemy.
However, such huge movements have a great impact on Zhao Yu. When the city gate was broken, the force was shocked, setting off a violent wave of qi, and within a few zhang, the cavalry riding horses could not stand it.
If the power can be dispersed and vented on an open battlefield, it doesn't hurt. On the contrary, it enhances the lethality. But when the city gate was broken, the city gate was heavy, and the power was shocking, and most of the aftermath had to be borne by Zhao Yu alone. Zhao Yu himself doesn't care, but the war horse under his crotch can't.
Previously, intercepting the shells and counterattacking, the shock was enough. Breaking the city gate and then moving westward is not necessary.
So he used his skill, gathered his strength at one point, and when he went down, the huge octagonal pyramid head all fell into the city gate, and then shook and twisted, and the tall city gate was shattered, and it turned into pieces and fell to the ground.
"Kill!"
Behind Zhao Yu, the armies of all departments saw that the city gate was broken, and they separated the front army. When the soldiers roared wildly, and the sound of killing was loud, the cavalry took the lead, the foot soldiers followed, and the archers shot a rain of arrows, covering the city wall, thinking that it was cover!
"The city is broken!"
The army of thieves was in an uproar, like a fly without a head, panicked and at a loss.
At the moment when the city gate was broken, it was doomed to the fate of Zhang Xianzhong, a thief. Zhao Yu is his own blade, even if Li Dingguo and others hurriedly organize an army to block it, they are helpless.
In this world, no one can stop Zhao Yu's advance.
This is a good killing, since Zhao Yu broke through the city gate and entered, until noon, the dust settled.
Because Zhang Xianzhong was in a coma, Zhao Yu saw the opportunity to break through the city gate, causing the army of thieves to collapse. The sacrificial thief was defeated by Zuo Liangyu and went to Henan to defect to Li Chuang, and the old thieves under his command were only thousands. And now, tens of thousands of horses have been entrapped, but they are all new thieves. The new thief who has just been transformed from a poor peasant can imagine his combat effectiveness.
If you fight with the wind, you can probably contribute some combat power in a swarm.
But Zhao Yu first counterattacked the cannonball with his flesh and blood, causing Zhang Xianzhong to fall into a coma and go to the head of the thief and snake. Another blow broke through the city gates, and he entered the city with a brazen slam.
Such a terrifying ability, how can the new thief at the bottom not be afraid?
And how not to collapse?!
Li Dingguo and others saw that the general trend had gone, and they wanted to escort Zhang Xianzhong to escape. But where can I escape? I only fled to the city, but I was caught up by Zhao Yu, and I went down with a cone, and I saw that the king of Hades had gone.
The thieves scattered and fled, but Zhao Yu made a thorough arrangement early and blocked the water around the city. The city gates on all sides are surrounded by large armies, coupled with the heavy casualties of the high-level thieves, the snake has no head, and the sand is scattered, even if it escapes from the four gates, it is unable to break through.
In the end, piles of corpses were left outside the four gates, and the rest were all surrendered.
After explaining the matter of guarding the captives one by one, Zhao Yu found Yang He and said: "Quickly send a message to the prince about the beginning and end of the war here, please tell the prince, it's time to close your pockets!"
Yang He didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly found someone to summon him.
In this Bozhou, there was also a stronghold of Zhao Gongming's commercial bank. But when Zhang Xianzhong's army attacked, he saw the opportunity early and evacuated the city.
When Zhao Yu led the army to attack, the people from the trading house were already waiting halfway.
That's where they come in.
and not to mention the arraignment. Zhao Yu captured Bozhou, wiped out Zhang Xianzhong and his thieves, and garrisoned for three days. During these three days, the rewards for meritorious deeds, the promotion according to military merits, and the last time of capture, were not mentioned.
Three days later, Zhao Yu raised his army and went north to Kaifeng Mansion!
...
When the crown prince Zhu Cihao received Zhao Yu's battle report, he heard that Gezuo and the thieves were all destroyed, and the thieves were wiped out from top to bottom, and he was overjoyed at the moment.
So while sorting out the battle report and presenting it to the Son of Heaven, he ordered all the armies to encircle Kaifeng.
The thieves have besieged Kaifeng for nearly a month, and the guards in Kaifeng City tried their best to resist, and the thieves did not get much bargain in January.
However, Zhu Cihao has seen from the weakening of the offensive of the thief army and some other clues that the thief has a plan to retreat.
Zhao Yu's battle report came at the right time.
If it is delayed for another three or seven or eight days, in case the thieves react and withdraw directly, I am afraid that the previous tactical arrangement will be in vain.
"The food and salary that the imperial court should have transported have not been seen for half a month. ”
The crown prince sat on the top, a subtle look on his face, and his fingers tapped lightly on the tabletop.
In the hall, only Wang Yisheng and Li Geng were present.
"Moth-eaters. Wang Yisheng said with a smile: "Why should the prince care? Just wait for the battle, the prince will return to Beijing with the power of the thief's great victory, and kill some moths in one fell swoop." ”
The prince nodded, and shook his head again: "The people in the cabinet are all old foxes, and they are not so easy to deal with. Moreover, the battle has not yet been decided, and if there is a change, it will be a big trouble. ”
As he spoke, the prince looked at Wang Yisheng: "Especially in Huguang Ding Qirui's department, the flaw is the greatest. ”
Wang Yisheng got up and clenched his fists, and laughed: "The last general will go." ”
The prince rejoiced: "Xiao Wang also means this." I don't expect Ding Qirui's department to play much of a role, I just hope that there will be no problems with the pocket array. ”
Wang Yisheng bowed: "The prince can rest assured, the last general will not disappoint His Highness!"
The crown prince bowed: "Xiao Wang is looking forward to the good news of General Wang." ”
So Wang Yisheng withdrew from the hall, took five thousand elites by himself, and happened to be with the herald, and took a detour in the direction of Benhuguang.
Seeing Wang Yisheng leaving, the prince's face showed a touch of worry.
Li Geng couldn't help but say: "With General Wang coming out, Huguang Ding Qirui's department will definitely not cause chaos, and the prince doesn't have to worry." ”
The crown prince shook his head: "Xiao Wang is not worried about Ding Qirui. Ding Qirui is just a mediocre talent, and it is easy for General Wang to suppress him. What I'm worried about is a change in the DPRK. ”
When Li Geng heard this, he couldn't help frowning: "Could it be that there is any important news coming from Yuqing?"
The prince nodded: "There is news from the Yuqing military division, and the news is that a few days ago, the imperial history of the Imperial Court of the Imperial Procuratorate impeached Xiao Wang, saying that Xiao Wang had the intention of rebellion. ”
"Shhh
Li Geng couldn't help but take a breath: "What a vicious!"
Then he said: "Your Highness is leading the troops outside, supervising hundreds of thousands of troops, if the Son of Heaven listens to the slander, I am afraid that it is..."
The crown prince shook his head: "I'm not worried that my father will listen to slander. ”
After a pause, the prince's eyes burned: "Because when I asked my father to suppress the thief and superintendent, I had an open and honest conversation with my father and emperor all night. I know my father's heart, and my father knows my heart. What I'm worried about is that because the government is controlled by such moths, my father will be cut off!"
sighed: "I'm even more afraid of the moths in the court to fake the holy decree!"
The prince stood up and paced with his hands in his hands, his eyes were a little misty: "Yue Wumu's twelve gold medals are vivid. ”
Li Geng was silent, his brows furrowed into a hill.
...
As Zhu Cihao guessed, when the good news arrived in Beijing and the Son of Heaven was happy, under the calm lake, there was an undercurrent.
But what Zhu Cihao never expected was that those moths in the court were even more ruthless than he imagined!
In the middle of October, the Son of Heaven suddenly fell ill, unable to speak, and unable to move!
The palace was in chaos.
So the cabinet completely took over the government on the grounds that the Son of Heaven could not manage the government.
In another three days, the Son of Heaven became more seriously ill and died.
The cabinet then discussed the prince's accession to the throne at the court meeting on the grounds that the Son of Heaven was about to die and the country could not be left without an owner for a day.
Only one day, the cabinet issued an edict, 800 miles of urgency, rushed to Henan, and ordered the prince to return to the court.
But it was only one day, and the 800-mile expedited had not yet been delivered, and the cabinet issued an order to seize the crown prince's position in the name of the prince's unfilial piety, demote him to the common people, and set up the second prince Zhu Cihong as the prince, and choose a day to sacrifice to the sky and ascend the throne!
Subsequently, several holy decrees were issued, ordering Sun Chuanting, Ding Qirui, Zhao Yu, and the commanders of various ministries originally under the command of Zhu Cihao to order the soldiers and horses of the troops to remain unmoved and wait for the dispatch of the imperial court.
...
The prince held a letter of silk, his whole body trembled more and more, his eyes became red, and he suddenly shouted: "Father!"
I fainted!
Li Geng was shocked, hurriedly hugged the prince, and hurriedly called a doctor for diagnosis and treatment, and then picked up the book on the ground, and took a closer look, his face became extremely heavy.
"What a vicious thief!"
"Lawless!"
This middle-aged man who was clear almost gritted his teeth, and then punched the table hard, and his fists were dripping with blood!
At this time, the crown prince had not yet received the imperial decree. This letter was sent urgently by Li Yuqing.
Among them, he brought together the accidents that happened in Beijing and prayed to the prince.
After reading the letter, Li Geng vented for a while, and soon calmed down.
The thieves of the cabinet braved the condemnation of the whole world, assassinated the Son of Heaven, seized the government of the court, and the private ruler of the country, and these acts were simply vicious and vicious to the extreme.
But Li Geng knew that this was not the time to be angry.
The pocket array is about to be formed, and the destruction of the thieves is imminent. If you miss the opportunity, all the previous things will be empty!
It's a mess!
He took a deep breath, his thoughts spinning, and suddenly shouted, "Come on!"
The prince came in in a hurry.
The prince fainted, and he was quite stunned. But seeing Li Geng's calm face, he couldn't help but calm down a lot.
Li Geng said: "Immediately send people to find General Zhao Yu, General Wang Yisheng and Sun Chuanting, and tell them to suppress the soldiers and horses of all departments and act according to the original plan." ”
After a pause, Li Geng shouted out again: "Come on, pen and ink are waiting!"
Someone offered pen and ink, and Li Geng wrote three letters as briefly as possible, sealed them with fire paint, and handed them to this person: "This matter is urgent, and the letters must be delivered to them!"
"Yes!"
"Remember!" Li Geng stopped him and instructed: "Be fast, be secret!"
After the messenger left, Li Geng immediately sent an order to secretly recruit the officers trained by the prince over the years, and he was not verbose, and said: "There has been a change in the court, and the prince is agitated and faints. But as a subordinate of the prince, we must act according to the prince's original plan. ”
These officers recruited are all specially recruited and trained by the prince over the years, and each of them has their abilities. At least compared to the current local general army, in either aspect, it is much stronger.
Originally, the crown prince planned to slowly replace them so that they could seize military power. The reason is that Li Geng, the closest person to the prince, is clear.
But by this time it was too late.
Li Geng explained the changes in the DPRK and China in detail, and then said: "The false edict of the cabinet will arrive in two days at most, and in order to prevent the failure of this crackdown on thieves, it is necessary to seize military power in advance." ”
"Now go back and get ready. In the name of the crown prince, I will hold a banquet to gather the general soldiers of all places. You and others should seize the opportunity to seize the military power of the local army on the north bank of the Yellow River. ”
A hint of fierceness flashed in Li Geng's eyes: "Those who block it will be killed!"
Li Geng knew that it was very risky to do this, but he was in a hurry, and it was time to take a risk. If the edict of the cabinet is delivered, these gathered local armies will disperse at that time.
The crown prince is not the emperor after all, and the cabinet occupies the righteousness of the world!
Moreover, the heads of the local army are all veterans, and each has his own ideas. Once you receive the edict, you will definitely disperse in a hurry.
This will never be tolerated.
