Chapter 456: Born as a Ming person, died as a Ming ghost

456 was born as a Ming person, and died as a Ming ghost

[I'm sorry to say here, those fans asked, I didn't see it before, I didn't pay attention to this friend's message to know, I'll look at it every night in the future, I'm sorry! ] 】

In Luoyang City in the evening, the remnant sun is like blood, like the remnant of blood!

In the sound of a loud gong, the tide of the rogue army withdrew again, which meant that after a day of siege from morning to night, it was over.

The ruined walls of Luoyang were littered with blood and corpses.

At this time, the time had reached December 28 of the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, that is, the sixteenth day of Li Zicheng's strong attack on Luoyang.

At this time, the war could no longer be described as tragic, and the rogues who fell under Luoyang City every day could be counted by thousands.

Li Zicheng's rogue army was about to attack Luoyang several times, but they were all led by Lu Xiangsheng himself to rush and kill, and they were beaten again.

It can be said that if Lu Xiangsheng had not been in Luoyang, Luoyang would have become Li Zicheng's bag at this time.

Even Qi Wei and Li Yan didn't expect that Lu Xiangsheng would be able to hold out in Luoyang for so long, which made them hesitate to make a move.

At this time of the war, Li Zicheng's rogue army was already exhausted, and he attacked the city at dawn every day.

Li Zicheng divided his men and horses into five divisions, and took turns to attack, but when he couldn't beat it, he ordered the troops to retreat after dark, and then set up camp to prevent Lu Xiangsheng from attacking at night.

At the beginning, Li Zicheng would order people to launch night attacks at night, and several times he fought several battles in Lu Xiangsheng at night, but they all ended in vain.

Lu Xiang's vigilance at night was also very high, and he didn't give Li Zicheng a chance to exploit the loopholes at all.

However, in the next few days, Li Zicheng basically would not launch a night attack, on the one hand, there was no result, and second, his subordinates were also very tired and could not afford a night attack at all.

Even at this time, the war was fought into a war of attrition, and Li Zicheng finally accepted Niu Jinxing's proposal to slowly take Luoyang like a boiled frog in warm water in this steady way.

Because, the more you get to this time, the more you can't rush forward, as long as it drags on, Luoyang will be Li Zicheng sooner or later, and Niu Jinxing saw this.

Therefore, he will strongly oppose any more tactics such as night raids and assaults, and he wants this kind of stupidest and stupidest siege war of attrition, but it is also the most helpless tactic for Lu Xiangsheng.

If Li Zicheng is really engaged in some night attack, maybe Lu Xiangsheng can find the right opportunity, and he can really defeat him by winning more with less.

However, now Niu Jinxing suggested Li Zicheng's style of play, even if Lu Xiangsheng used soldiers like a god, there was no way.

It is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, because this tactic has only one requirement, that is, to have soldiers!

The 10,000 elite soldiers under Lu Xiangsheng had been consumed by this time, and less than one-third had been consumed.

On this day, Li Zicheng's routine siege battle, after the end, Luoyang City was still in the hands of the Ming army.

As the Liukou retreated, the entire south gate of Luoyang was silent, and this was also the most fierce battlefield, because this was Li Zicheng's main direction of attack.

Even, the city walls were full of corpses, and there were not a few moving figures in sight.

If you don't know, you think that all the corpses on this city wall are dead!

But if you look closer, you will find that many Ming soldiers here are breathing.

When these Ming soldiers saw the Liukou retreating, they fell directly on the corpses all over the ground, motionless, because they were too tired.

"Lao Hao!"

"General Hao!"

At this time, Yang Yanlin, one of Lu Xiangsheng's generals, rushed to the south city wall with a few personal guards, shuttled across the city wall, and shouted at the dead and living lying on the city wall.

"Have you seen your General Hao?"

Yang Yanlan was also covered in blood, he had just rushed over from the West City Gate, he was the support force arranged by Lu Xiangsheng, and at this time he pulled up a Ming soldier who was lying down and asked.

"It seems to be over there, I took a look at it during the previous battle, so you can go and look for it."

The veteran of the Ming army did not have the slightest intention of getting up and saluting at this time because Yang Yanlin was a general.

With a weak posture that I didn't want to get up when I was stoned, he pointed to the city gate tower with his finger and said.

And Yang Yanlin obviously didn't care about these at this time, and said in a low voice: "Hard work, brother, rest well." Then he led the men out to the gate tower.

"Lao Hao!" Yang Yanlin continued to shout.

It's really too chaotic here, there are corpses of Ming soldiers and bandits everywhere, layers upon layers, broken weapons, and they are also scattered all over the place, in a mess.

"Look, General."

A personal guard suddenly shouted to Yang Yanlin, and at the same time pointed to the collapsed city tower in front of him, and a wooden pillar still standing.

I saw a figure, sitting with his back to the pillar at this time, a tattered armor, even more stained red with blood, and the figure sat there motionless, like a sculpture.

In front of him, there was a pile of corpses, some of the bandits and some of the Ming soldiers, one of which had broken into two spears, which was inserted into the chest of a bandit soldier at this time, standing beside Hao Jian.

At this moment, Hao Jian's back, the sunset that is about to set in the west, and the sunset in pieces, are intertwined, looking so bleak and tragic!

"Old Hao."

Yang Yanlin's nose suddenly became sour, and he whispered, his eyes suddenly moistened, and then walked towards Hao Jian.

From the day the Luoyang Guard Battle began, Hao Jian took Lu Xiangsheng's order and led his subordinates to defend the south city gate.

More than half a month has passed, and Hao Jian has never led his subordinates to retreat, and his subordinates have already changed several times.

But Hao Jian has survived, and even the last time the south city gate was in danger, when Yang Yanlin brought people to support, he jokingly said to him: "Old Hao, don't die." ”

And Hao Jian said indifferently: "Don't worry, Lao Tzu has a big life, he can't die, take care of yourself!" ”

The two of them have always followed Lu Xiangsheng's side, from the beginning of Lu Xiangsheng's formation of the Tianxiong Army in Xuanda Mansion, to the bloody battle of Jiazhuang, and then to today's Luoyang Defense Battle, they have always followed Lu Xiangsheng's side.

Yang Yanlin walked over alone, and he sent his guards to help the medical soldiers, treat the wounded, and clean the city wall.

Yang Yanlin walked to Hao Jian's side, and when Hao Jian heard the footsteps, he slowly raised his head, revealing a haggard, pale face with chapped lips and splattered with blood.

"Lao Yang, you're here, sit with me." Hao Jian exhaled like silk, his voice was not loud, and he said.

"Okay."

Yang Yanlin also leaned on the pillar and sat down very close to Hao Jianyi.

"Lao Yang, roll me a cigarette!" Hao Jian's faint voice sounded again.

"Hey, how do you know that I still have smoke here, I haven't used it up last time General Li gave it to me.

You've run out of stuff, I've heard from you, but you wanted to ask for it from you last time.

Okay, for the sake of your hard work today, I'll roll one for you. ”

Yang Yanlin turned his head and glanced at Hao Jian, and said with a smile.

At this time in the late Ming Dynasty, tobacco had already spread from Luzon (that is, the Philippines in later generations) to the Ming Dynasty, and it spread at a very fast speed.

At this time, tobacco in Daming, like wine and tea, has become an important consumer product in people's daily life.

Especially in the south of the Daming River at this time, tobacco is more popular.

In Jiangbei, tobacco was also introduced, and even later Li Zixiao intervened in the tobacco business and made a particularly good tobacco foam.

Last time, when Li Zixiao saw Lu Xiangsheng, Hao Jian and Yang Yanlin, he gave them a batch of tobacco foam, which immediately made these rough men like this thing.

Soon, the sound of rustling sounded, and soon Yang Yanlin rolled up a cigarette and prepared to hand it to Hao Jian.

"Lao Hao, give, you have a fire ......"

When Yang Yanlin turned around and handed a carefully rolled cigarette to Hao Jian, he found that Hao Jian was drooping his head.

At this moment, Yang Yanlin's face changed suddenly, and a bad intuition welled up in his heart.

didn't care about the cigarette in his hand, he got up directly and rushed to Hao Jian.

At this time, Yang Yanlin discovered that under the pile of corpses in front of Hao Jian, there was a large pool of blood, which flowed out from Hao Jian's feet.

It's a pity that because it was covered by Hao Jian's robe, he didn't see it from the side at all just now.

At this moment, Yang Yanlin's heart exploded, and he rushed directly to Hao Jian and lifted the robe he deliberately covered his abdomen.

I saw that under the battle robe, a spearhead was fiercely stabbed into Hao Jian's left abdomen, and almost the entire spearhead had been pierced into Hao Jian's body.

The wooden spear shaft had obviously been cut off by Hao Jian with a long knife, leaving only a very short section on the outside.

The big pool of blood in the ground basically flowed out of this blood hole, and Hao Jian also had several knife wounds on his body, and even two arrows were inserted in his shoulders and thighs.

But those are not fatal injuries, they are all fine, take out the arrow afterwards, bandage the wound, and it will be healed after a while, anyway, there are already many such injuries on his body.

But the spear in Hao Jian's abdomen, Yang Yanlin, who had been in battle for a long time, could see at a glance that it was enough to kill Hao Jian.

"Lao Hao, come on, medical soldiers, medical soldiers, come quickly."

Yang Yanlin shouted loudly to the surroundings.

"Lao Yang, don't shout, your voice is so loud, my ears are buzzing."

At this time, Hao Jian drooped his head, slowly raised it again, and said to Yang Yanlin, his voice was not loud, and he looked very weak.

"Lao Hao, don't move, don't move, the medical soldiers will be here soon, you will be fine."

Yang Yanlin pressed Hao Jian's shoulder to prevent him from moving, and his voice was trembling.

For a terrible wound like Hao Jian's abdomen, the most taboo thing is to move around, because it will tear the wound and cause massive bleeding.

In that case, maybe Hao Jianjian horse will die.

This is also why, after Hao Jian was stabbed by this spear, he directly cut off the spear shaft, but he didn't dare to pull it out.

"Okay, Lao Yang, don't shout, it's useless. You and I are clear about my current situation, and whoever comes now can't save me, and I don't have much time. ”

"Nonsense, you can't die."

Yang Yanlin couldn't hold back any longer, tears flowed out of his eyes, this man who went to the battlefield, killed the enemy and was injured, and even if he died in battle, he would not cry, but he cried at this time.

However, Yang Yanlin knew that Hao Jian was right, with such an injury, his chances of survival were very small.

What's more, he has been delayed here for so long and shed so much blood, and if he were an ordinary person, he would probably die a long time ago.

And Hao Jian at this time is actually a return to the light.

"Lao Yang, since the day you and I followed the adult, we have long put life and death out of the way, and I am not afraid of death. Moreover, I feel honored to be able to die for the Ming Dynasty.

Since the time of my grandfather, my Hao family has been in the army for generations, and my grandfather once participated in the campaign to pacify the Mongols.

My Hao family has been loyal and good for generations, and I was born a Ming person; Die as a Ming ghost. After I die, I will be worthy of my ancestors and ancestors. However, adults cannot die.

The adult has a stubborn temper, I am afraid that Luoyang City will be broken, and he will fight to the death, but it is not worth it.

After I die, you have to promise me that when Luoyang City is broken, no matter what method you use, you will take the adults to escape from the city. You promise me. ”

At this time, Hao Jian didn't know the strength that came from, so he actually stretched out his hand, grabbed Yang Yanlin's collar, bowed forward, and said loudly.

"Okay, Lao Hao, I promise you, I swear, even if I die, I will protect the adults to escape."

At this time, how could Yang Yanlin refuse Hao Jian's request, he said in tears.

"Then I'll be relieved." Hao Jian let go of Yang Yanlin's collar, leaned back against the pillar, and said in a low voice.

"Lao Yang, maybe what Li Zixiao said was right, the adults were wrong, the path we took was also wrong, Da Ming is really going to die.

But even if it's wrong, so what, I took over my father's mantle and swore to protect my Ming, and now I have done it, I have no regrets in this life, no regrets......"

After Hao Jian finished saying this, his head drooped again, and this time he never had a chance to raise it again.

"Lao Hao, Lao Hao, ahhhh Thief God, you are so unfair! ”

Yang Yanlin looked up to the sky and roared, watching his brother who was born and died with his own eyes, dying in front of him, but he couldn't do anything, that kind of powerlessness, that kind of heartache, it was unforgettable.

Through what Hao Jian said when he was dying, he actually knew Li Zixiao better than Lu Xiangsheng, and he even guessed that Li Zixiao deliberately did not come to Luoyang to support this time.

Because, in private, Li Zixiao has had many transactions with him, of course, all of them are transactions within his bottom line, but they are just hiding from Lu Xiangsheng.

He knew that Li Zixiao had chosen a different path from them, and he was not really loyal to Daming.

In fact, in the bottom of his heart, Hao Jiandu recognized Li Zixiao's approach, he knew that there was no immortal dynasty, and there were few dynasties that perished throughout the ages!

Perhaps, today's Da Ming, the number of qi is also exhausted.

But even so, Hao Jian still chose to follow Lu Xiangsheng and continue to contribute to saving the Ming Dynasty.

"Lao Hao, if there is an afterlife, we will still be brothers!"

Yang Yanlin stuffed the rolled cigarette that Hao Jian never had a chance to smoke again, into Hao Jian's chest, and said in a low voice.

Subsequently, when Lu Xiangsheng learned the news of Hao Jian's death, he fainted with sadness.

On the second day, when the sun rose, Li Zicheng personally put on his armor, mounted his war horse, and launched a final offensive against Luoyang.

"Luoyang, I'm here." Li Zicheng looked at the scene of the battle in front of him and said excitedly.

On December 29, the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, Luoyang City was broken, more than 20 days earlier than in history.
