Chapter 335: "Yongli" Meritorious Service
Zhu Linmiao turned his head to look at the sound, and saw a handsome man in his twenties with two mustaches jumping off his horse and waving his hands towards him, it was Zhu Youlang, the king of Gui.
According to the generation, Zhu Youlang is a generation of Guiwang with the word "by", and Zhu Linmiao, who is inferior to the Tang King "Lin" generation, should be commensurate with his uncle.
It's just that this Zhu Youlang is wearing a cumbersome red four-group dragon gauze robe, with a nine-seam leather belt on his head, and a jade belt hanging around his waist, as if he is going to attend some formal occasion, which seems to be very procrastinating, so although he has tried his best to walk, his speed is difficult to get up.
Zhu Linmiao immediately frowned, "Why did King Gui come?" β
"Nephew ......" Zhu Youlang glanced at Xu Feihu and the others who were escorting him behind him, and sneered, "I felt a little uncomfortable on the way, so I walked slowly." β
In fact, he had been in the temporary camp of the Dragon Guards seven miles away. Zhu Linmiao received a report from the hussars who were monitoring the enemy army on the top of the mountain, saying that he had discovered the movement of Ding Kui's Chu army, and immediately sent a company of his own soldiers to pick up King Gui.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Youlang was very timid, and when he heard that Ding Kuichu's main force was coming, and he was going to the front line, he delayed all kinds of things at the moment, and it took half an hour to rub out of three miles.
Xu Feihu really couldn't stand it, so he had to scare him, saying that if he delayed the military affairs of the auxiliary king if he continued like this, he would be dealt with in accordance with military law because of the strict military discipline of the Dragon Guard.
Zhu Youlang was taken aback, so he reluctantly sped up.
Zhu Linmiao raised his hand to the enemy formation and smiled: "It's not too late, but it's just in time." At present, when King Gui is needed, the peace of Guangxi will depend on you. β
Zhu Youlang glanced at the black and oppressive military array on Ding Kuichu's side, and wanted to say something more, so he heard Xu Feihu whisper in his ear: "Your Highness, the military order is like a mountain." β
He had to swallow hard and spat hard, gritted his teeth and waved his hand: "Then, then come......"
Immediately, someone rushed to the special carriage that had been prepared, which was more than a foot high, and was dragged by six horses. Zhu Youlang wore a full-body cotton armor inside when he set off, and when he saw the heavy cavalry of the Dragon Guard who was responsible for protecting him on the side, he hurriedly asked for a cavalry cuirass to hang on, and then put the python robe on the outside, so he felt a little relieved.
Then he climbed onto the roof of the car and clung to the guardrail. There were also four soldiers of the personal army company beside him to protect him in the center and stand still, and the carriage went straight towards Ding Kuichu's formation under the cover of forty heavy cavalry.
Ding Kuichu's men and horses were still immersed in the dream of supporting the new monarch, when they saw something that looked like a building car slowly coming. When they got closer, they saw a man in a red robe standing on the roof of the car, with dragon patterns clearly visible on his chest and shoulders.
A senior officer hurriedly took out his binoculars and looked at the man's face, and immediately exclaimed, "King Gui...... Ah, no, His Majesty the Emperor is here! β
The words of the officers quickly spread throughout the military formation, and the soldiers all looked at each other, and if it were not for the officers' control, I am afraid that they would all kneel down and shout "Long live".
Seeing that the car was getting closer and closer to the enemy, Zhu Youlang hurriedly shouted, "Stop!" But the car didn't stop until about a hundred paces ahead.
He glanced down, and saw that the enemy soldiers were all standing dumbfounded, and had no intention of making a move, so he strengthened his courage and shouted to the army in front of him: "I, I am King Gui!" β
As soon as these words came out, Ding Kuichu's people stared even more wide-eyed - is the Son of Heaven going to drive the expedition himself? But he came from the enemy camp, and at this time he called himself "King Gui"?
Zhu Youlang saw that tens of thousands of horses were honest in front of him, but he also found some domineering feelings, and spoke more and more neatly, "At the beginning, Ding Kuichu forced me with soldiers, did great rebellion, and trapped me in an unkind and unrighteous situation, but it was really not my intention.
"I am a member of the Ming Dynasty, and I have never dared to have the heart to establish. But it is the ambition of Ding's wolf, who wants to fake my life and fight with the court, in order to hit the stone ear with an egg. I hope that the soldiers of the Gui Army will not follow the traitors and commit heinous crimes.
"A few days ago, 20,000 Cantonese troops were wiped out in Fujing in an instant, and you and others have been surrounded, so how can you be invincible?
"Yesterday, there was an edict on the saint, and those who defected before the battle were all loyal and good to the Ming Dynasty. Those who resist stubbornly will be punished as a major crime of rebellion! β
As soon as he finished speaking, Ding Kuichu's army burst into chaos.
"King Gui didn't ascend the throne?"
"Ding Dutang wants to coerce King Gui to rebel?"
"Without King Gui, what if this battle is won?"
"Yes! If it weren't for the fact that King Gui was a pro-vassal vassal of the court, who would want to oppose the imperial court......"
Ding Kuichu knew at this time that King Gui had actually arrived in front of the two armies, and he felt a buzz in his head - either Wuzhou had been taken by the imperial court, or King Gui had been in King Chen's army, and he had been deceived by him!
But in either case, it means that the lie that "King Gui ascended the throne and became emperor" has been exposed. He hurriedly shouted to Ling Chen, "Hurry up and take down King Gui!" Oh, by the way, he's not King Gui, he's pretending! β
Chen Jiao immediately took the order and left, but when he got on his horse and greeted his officers, these people all looked at him with strange expressions, and actually faintly shrank backβthere were many people who had seen King Gui, and it was King Gui himself who was talking in front of the battle.
Chen Xuan had no choice but to borrow Ding Kuichu's personal soldiers, plus his own personal entourage, a total of about 300 people, and rushed to the front of the battle with all the sergeants.
Besides, Ding Kuichu's subordinates were all dreaming of ascending to the sky one moment ago, and power and wealth were rolling in, and the next moment they were slapped in the face by the real King Gui on the spot, and the loss in them was like thousands of leeches churning in their hearts.
On the east side of the battlefield, Zhong Mingyuan also heard his subordinates explain the situation before the battle, and immediately closed his eyes and looked up to the sky and sighed, "It's over, it's all over......
