Chapter 437: I am also the son of the first emperor

These townsfolk are really damned! Lan Yong gritted his teeth, "Tens of thousands of people in Xinjin have caused them a scourge, at least tens of thousands of people have died tragically, and many people have fled to the countryside for refuge, and less than 10,000 people have returned to Chengdu!" ”

Lan Yong gritted his teeth, Du Sixian, and Wang Cai were also there, and they were all filled with righteous indignation. Zhu Chun, the king of Shu, also said: "It doesn't make sense, after Xu Huizu is also a famous general, he can't do this kind of self-defeating thing, could it be that the people below did it behind his back?" ”

Lan Yong snorted, "Whether he knows it or not, it's all a crime!" However, I heard from the people who fled to Chengdu that these villagers seem to have mentioned what Lord Jing! ”

"Jingqing!" Zhu Chun stood up suddenly, his eyes were shocked, and he couldn't believe it: "How come?" How could this be? ”

Lan Yong said disdainfully: "What, can the people still lie? Their relatives are dead, and this account should be counted on Jing Qing's head! ”

Zhu Chun sat slumped on the chair and kept shaking his head, "I also talked to Jing Qing, this person seems to be from a humble background, he was easily admitted to the Jinshi, and he is very sympathetic to the poor people, he, how could he be so ruthless?" ”

When Zhu Chun said this, he subconsciously looked at Liu Chun, after all, Liu Chun was the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and the resumes of these hundred officials were all in his stomach, maybe he could have an answer!

Liu Chun snorted, "Jingqing has indeed been a double king of parents since he was a child, fostered in his grandfather's house, he has taken the Zhongxiang examination twice, and he is still Xie Yuan, but he refuses to enter Beijing to participate in the examination!" ”

"Ahh Zhu Chun exclaimed, what kind of monster is this, he understands Yuan in the exam, and he will take the exam in Beijing, it is a matter of course, doesn't he want to be an official? Since you don't want to be an official, what township test are you taking?

Jingqing both times were because he wanted to support his grandfather, and his filial piety and wisdom were widely spread in the countryside. It is precisely because of this that he was admitted to the imperial examination, and after entering the office, he was directly promoted to the imperial history of the capital! ”

Zhu Chun hesitated: "Could it be...... Is this person a fame-seeker? ”

Liu Chun shook his head slightly, "I can't say this well, but in my opinion, Jing Qingzheng is from a humble background, so he can't wait to get closer to the Shiren Group, and do whatever it takes to exchange for Shilin's acceptance and praise!" ”

Liu Chun said in a deep voice: "Fengtian is difficult, we just want to get rid of these high-ranking scholars, this is an inevitable war!" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's bodies couldn't help but shake...... Zhu Chun fell into, he tasted what Liu Chun said, although Jingqing's approach should be peeled and lasted, but he still knew what he cared about. And I, knowing what I care about, but I don't even have the courage to fight?

Zhu Chun, Zhu Chun, do you want to make people look down on you for the rest of your life and let your father be disgraced? You are the son of Emperor Hongwu!

Are you really willing to be a prince of peace who eats and waits for death for the rest of your life?

The King of Shu was entangled, Liu Chun didn't take him seriously, but immediately instructed Lan Yong: "I thought that no matter how bad Xu Huizu was, he wouldn't dare to attack ordinary people, but now it seems that I was negligent, I didn't expect that there was a vicious wolf hiding by his side!" You immediately bring the people around Chengdu into the city and clear the wilderness. Be sure to protect them! ”

"Yes! Let's go! ”

Lan Yong and the others went down, Zhu Chun woke up from the silence, and said in a calm voice: "If too many people enter the city, I'm afraid that there won't be enough food to eat!" ”

"Then you can't sit idly by!" Liu Chun said: "Our hope is in peace!" I hope he can break the enemy soon. ”

Zhu Chun still hesitated, he always felt that peace might not be reliable, after all, he had just surrendered, why did Liu Chun trust him so much? Speaking of which, the most reliable is yourself!

This time Zhu Chun became crisp, he didn't spit on Liu Chunfei anymore, but honestly fulfilled his duties.

People from outside the city continue to move in, and Chengdu, which is already crowded, has become even more crowded. Zhu Chun used all the power of the palace to settle the people, give them food, water, and firewood......

Those who survived the Xinjin catastrophe told everyone about the cruelty of the official army. They won't distinguish between the townsmen and the officers and soldiers, anyway, they are all done by the brutes of the imperial court!

The people of Chengdu have heard of those cruel acts, and they are all filled with righteous indignation.

More and more lads are coming forward, forming squads, carrying rudimentary weapons, ready to help defend the city, and this is a battle for everyone!

……

The war came faster than expected, and it seemed that Xu Huizu knew very well the truth of the speed of soldiers.

Half a day after clearing the wilderness, Xu Huizu's men and horses had besieged Chengdu.

A fierce siege battle ensued.

There is no temptation, as soon as you come up, you just go all out.

Because Xu Huizu really can't afford to wait, there has been an urgent report from the direction of Jiading Prefecture, and King Min's men are frantically attacking the city, and they can't hold it anymore.

Xu Huizu will not divide his troops to help, he will only go all out and take Chengdu!

"Siege!"

The black-pressed crowd, carrying a ladder and a cat's waist, rushed up to the tall Chengdu city wall.

Firearms were already widespread in the early Ming Dynasty, and out of a hundred people, ten were armed with firearms. In addition, the army will also be equipped with some siege artillery, letter cannons.

It's just that the artillery at this time is very funny, because there are two gun ports at the front and back, that is, the gun carriage is actually a thick piece of wood, and the front and back are chiseled out of the thick mouth of the bowl, which is used to insert the barrel, one in the front and one in the front and one in the front.

When firing a cannon, one end is lit first, and after the shot, the axle on the gun carriage is rotated, the other end is turned around, and then it is fired.

This doesn't do much good other than a little more rate of fire. The structure of the gun carriage is complex, and the power of the artillery is much smaller...... It can only be used to scare and scare enemies.

As for the heavier general cannon, it is a siege weapon, but it is difficult to move on the Shu Road, and Xu Huizu is not equipped with it in his army.

In fact, Liu Chun originally had the heart to improve the artillery, but unfortunately, he was sent to Yunnan, so the new artillery is still the unique skill of the Mu family, and the court did not get it at all.

"Even if you fill it with people, you have to take Chengdu down for me!"

Xu Huizu was ruthless, he personally supervised the army, holding a bright ghost head knife in his hand, who dared to take half a step back, and he would not be spared!

The officers and soldiers also seemed to know that they had no way out, and all of them used all their strength, they crossed the trenches, rushed over the moat, and reached the city walls, and erected ladders...... The whole set of actions, flowing smoothly, is worthy of being a strong soldier in the southern and northern wars.

Liu Chun knew too well the combat effectiveness of the forbidden army, although the upper echelons of the Huaixi nobles had decayed and revealed their twilight, but the soldiers below, especially many elites who had participated in the conquest of the Northern Yuan and the pacification of the southwest, should not be underestimated.

Sure enough, they had a clear division of labor, some of them covered with bows and arrows, and some of them quickly climbed the ladder like the head of the city.

These soldiers are simply more agile than monkeys, they block with shields in one hand, and hold knives tightly in the other, and they can easily climb with just two fingers, to the point of unimaginable!

"Hit!"

On the head of the city, all kinds of tools for defending the city were thrown down together...... Stones, rolling wood, bottles filled with quicklime, jars, and boiled dung water gold juice.

Like raindrops, it smashed down.

People were constantly injured and fell, falling to their deaths, and blood stained the ground of the city.

The battle was fierce, but for both sides, there was pressure not to lose. Needless to say, the officers and soldiers, but what about the military and civilians in Chengdu? Xinjin's tragic appearance, they all know it.

If they are allowed to enter Chengdu, it will only be an even more tragic massacre, and those people are crazy and devils!

The soldiers at the head of the city, with hatred in their mouths, threw down stone after stone, smashing the enemy's heads into rotten watermelons!

Only by killing them all can we keep the fruits of victory, it is useless to be a rotten good person, and it is useless to appease and raise traitors!

Relying on persuasion, reasoning, or even relying on the Holy Decree, it is almost impossible to achieve the goal of changing the Fa. These gentry landlords would not give up their interests...... In that case, there is only killing!

It is obvious that among the officers and soldiers, there are a lot of village warriors, and these guys are even more crazy than the officers and soldiers, constantly rushing towards the city, not caring about their own lives at all.

Indeed, if the officials and soldiers retreat, they will only lose their heads, and if they retreat, their families will be treated most cruelly!

Kill!

There is no way back!

"Oh no! The turtle grandson has gone up to the castle! ”

Du Sixian, who was bandaging his wounds, didn't say a word, and rushed forward directly with a knife...... When he came down again, he was covered in blood and unconscious, but the knife in his hand was still tightly gripped!

Du Sixian was wounded, defeated the three offensives of the official army, and protected the almost lost city tower three times.

He himself suffered three stab wounds, two arrows in his body, a foot-long wound on his chest, and his flesh turned out, revealing his white bones!

When Qingzhuang carried him to the city and sent him to the infirmary for the treatment of his wounds, everywhere he passed, the people opened their mouths wide in surprise and shed tears. Among them, there were young people who couldn't help but kneel on the ground, kowtow to Du Sixian, and then rushed directly to the city.

"Turtle sons, grandpa fought with you!"

……

After the first day of fighting, the soldiers and civilians of Chengdu had no time to grieve and be sad, and took advantage of the night to rescue the wounded, replenish stones and rolling wood, and rush to make military rations, waiting for tomorrow's fiercer battle.

"The King of Zhongshan uses soldiers and is good at night attacks, you must pay attention, don't be careless!"

Liu Chun reminded Lan Yong that as the supreme commander defending the city, Lan Yong also carried a heavy burden. He immediately nodded and led his guards around the city.

Lan Yong left, Liu Chun counted the battle damage, the number of dead and wounded in the city was more than 3,500, the officers and soldiers did not bargain, they were at least twice as killed and wounded.

But the problem is that Xu Huizu's troops are still abundant, and he can completely consume himself!

Peaceful!

If you can say what you want to say about fighting for the Great Ming, I'm sure you'll do it too! And with your ability, waiting for an opportunity to defeat the enemy outside is completely possible.

Then I'll give you this opportunity!

Just as Liu Chun was thinking, there was a sudden sound of fierce fighting.

Liu Chun hurriedly went out, and someone ran in a panic.

"Oh no, sure enough, someone took advantage of the night to sneak into the city, and General Lan Yong had already killed those thieves!"

Those who can fight at night are definitely the elite of the elite.

Although Lan Yong is extremely brave, the number of people in his hands is limited after all, and Liu Chun subconsciously wants to stand up and go to the city in person.

But at this moment, someone stopped him.

"You can't show up!"

Lan was dressed as a samurai, carrying a sword in his hand and a bow and arrow behind his back.

"I'll go!"

"Big sister!" Liu Chun hurriedly said: "You, how can you take risks?" It's night, and not many people know me! ”

"That's not good, if you want to go, beat me first!"

It's not a joke, Liu Chun is the opponent of the Lan clan.

Lan chuckled lightly and turned around to leave, but she never expected that a person would appear in front of her!

"What are you doing here?" She asked, disgusted.

The person on the other side raised his head and laughed, "What else do I ask you?" Lao Tzu is not dead, is it your turn to show up as a woman? ”

It's Zhu Chun, the king of Shu!

He suddenly rushed over and reached out to grab Lan's wrist, "Give me the knife!" ”

"You, will you use it?"

"It's time to cut watermelon!" Zhu Chun snatched the treasure knife and said, "You can keep the bow, I can't pull it!" ”

This prince actually wants to go to the city, he is still the nominal commander of the Jingnan Army, which can indeed boost morale, but the question is that he is powerless, can he do it?

Liu Chun was full of suspicion and said eagerly: "Your Highness, now is not the time to be vindictive, or leave it to me!" ”

"Nope! I'm not vindictive! Zhu Chun sneered: "Liu Chun, don't think you're amazing, in the Han and Tang Dynasties, scholars were also able to win battles!" What's more, I, a scholar, still have the blood of the first emperor in my body! I am also the son of the first emperor! Look, with me, Chengdu is impregnable! ”

After speaking, he turned around and left without looking back, Lan Shi looked at Zhu Chun's back blankly, and tears flowed down instantly, "Xianggong, you finally look like a man!" ”
