Chapter 18: Wuchang Beacon Fire
"Your Highness...... Your Highness...... The thief called! It's coming! Princess Chu and her children cried and cried beside Zhu Huakui, which made Zhu Huakui upset for a while.
"What's the noise?" Zhu Huakui looked at his wife and child with a sad face, and his words quickly softened: "Let the buddies go to the treasury and take all the armor!" The ladies all retreat into the secret passage, take the soft with you! Don't cry! ”
The princess, the prince of Chu and the princes and county lords were about to cry again.
"All things must be done by the king! Give it all back to Lonely! Zhu Huakui roared angrily, finally calming down the children.
At this time, Zhu Huakui rushed back to the front hall and saw a cadre of palace guards standing in the hall, trembling: "What about Changshi?" Where is Xu Xueyan? ”
When the leading subordinate officials heard this, they looked at each other.
"Don't you know? A bunch of rubbish! Zhu Huakui shouted angrily.
The crowd fell to their knees.
"Rubbish!" Zhu Huakui roared angrily in the sky, turned around and took out a suit of armor from a box, drew out a long sword that reflected the cold light, turned to a group of guards and said, "Defend Wuchang, everyone will be rewarded." Don't you all think about my Zhu Huakui's bit of silver? Protect me, and go and get a hundred taels by yourself! ”
Under the heavy reward, the morale has finally been boosted a little.
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
……
This is, a guard suddenly opened his mouth and said, "Your Highness, my subordinates know where Lord Changshi should be...... If nothing else, it should be the organization of defense on the south gate tower. ”
"Good...... It's ......" Zhu Huakui suddenly sneered, walked in step by step, and looked at the smiling guard. He slammed his sword out and stabbed it, staring at the face that was mixed with pain and stunned. Look around: "Dare to hide my fate, that's it!" ”
"Follow me to the South City Gatehouse!" Zhu Huakui strode out of the courtroom. Turned over and rushed out of the palace.
A guard looked at the corpse that had fallen to the ground, shuddered, and followed in silence.
Quietly, Zhu Huakui didn't notice that some guards had already lost their armor, turned over and rushed over to save the guard.
In the south city gate, Xu Xueyan had a straight face, staring at the soldiers who were motionless in the hidden soldier cave: "Give this officer to go out to fight!" Who is the head? Who is the commander? Come out for this officer! ”
"The money given by the palace is not for you to sit here and wait for the official to die! Arise, and bring the whip of your lord! ”
Syllable......
Cracking sound. Xu Xueyan's whip rushed out violently, and a cadre of soldiers in the hidden soldier cave rushed out with all kinds of complaints and hip-hop sounds.
"The long history is not good, that group of people ran away! The rolling stones and sassalwoods were thrown halfway through! This is, another young scholar rushed over.
When Xu Xueyan heard this, his face turned red: "What about the people from the county government?" What about the people of the government? Isn't Wang Yankee in charge of logistics? ”
"Your Excellency...... He ran away...... "The scholar wept with a sad face.
"Didn't Fu Shangrui take the people with him? Let them find the Rolling Stone! A little fear slowly rose in Xu Xueyan's eyes.
"Fu Shangrui?" At this time, a deep voice rang out: "He also ran away." ”
Xu Xueyan looked at the person in front of him and lost his voice in surprise: "Your Highness...... How did you get here? ”
"Can Lone not come?" Zhu Huakui, the king of Chu, stood on the city gate tower, looked at the sparse soldiers, and said with a wry smile: "This is most of Wuchang City...... It's all gone......"
Listen to this. Xu Xueyan staggered back a few steps, glanced at Zhang Xianzhong and the others outside the city, and sat on the ground blankly: "Your Highness...... The incompetence of the lower officials ......"
Outside the city.
Zhang Xianzhong laughed: "This Wuchang is already about to enter my hands!" ”
Side. Li Shirong, a member of Huangzhou, echoed and said with a smile: "The famous cities in the world will soon fall into the hands of the eight kings!" ”
Zhang Xianzhong's righteous son Ai Nengqi, who was a little closer to Zhang Xianzhong, said loudly: "Father-in-law." It's better for me to rush for a while and watch the child lay down this Wuchang City for his father-in-law! ”
"Father-in-law! I'm afraid I'm tired after so many battles, so let me, the elder brother, do my filial piety for my father-in-law! At this time, Sun Kewang turned to the ranks. Follow Lang and ask for battle.
Another righteous son, Liu Wenxiu, was not far behind when he heard this: "Father-in-law, where can there be any strong soldiers in this Wuchang City." Boy, fight, this fight. The child is determined to make a beautiful fight for his father-in-law, and knock down this Wuchang City to his father-in-law as the capital of the country!! ”
The three of you said a word, and none of them regarded the capture of Wuchang City as a difficult matter.
When the generals heard this, they all smiled and praised the deep love between father and son.
Wang Zhaoling, who had followed all the way from Anhui, was silent when she saw the last named son, Li Dingguo, and asked with concern: "Hongyuan, what are you worried about?" ”
Li Dingguo frowned and said, "I'm worried about the official army. Wuchang is such a big provincial city, but there are really no officials and soldiers to defend the city? ”
"Hahaha......" When Sun Kewang heard this, he immediately shook his head: "Fourth brother, why are you still thinking about this at this time?" There are officers and soldiers in the provincial capital, but who dares to fight us? I only need to rush for a while to force me to surrender! ”
"Be cautious on the march." Li Dingguo was a little uneasy, and he thought of some scenes he saw some time ago: "The news from the back road has not been hinted at for two days. ”
When Liu Wenxiu heard this, he didn't take it to heart: "In the time of war, my legs and feet didn't keep up, so what if I bent for two days?" Could it be that you are still worried about that Zuo Liangyu? Isn't it a defeated soldier under his father-in-law? ”
When Liu Wenxiu said this, Zhang Xianzhong also smiled and nodded: "Daming is rotten to the bone." A prince with some skills emerged in the north, and he was framed by his own people. Hmph, this Da Ming should be changed another day! Children, soldiers, rush into Wuchang City, everyone is the founder of the country! ”
"Yes!"
"Rush!"
"Kill!"
……
When Zhang Xianzhong's troops outside the city charged towards Wuchang City, there was silence on the city.
After a hundred steps, it was still quiet.
Seeing this, Li Dingguo no longer hesitated: "It's already an empty city." ”
"It's down, the officers and soldiers are down!"
Suddenly, there was a burst of cheers from the front.
Xu Xueyan stood on the city tower, hoarse, but no one in the so-called Chu army dared to fight. What made Xu Xueyan's eyes even more tearful was that suddenly, a squeaky sound sounded.
"Security, the defenders of Wenchang Second Gate...... Avatar up! ”
Seeing this, Xu Xueyan collapsed: "This Wuchang ...... Can't keep it. ”
The news soon spread throughout Wuchang City.
Inside the palace of the king of Chu.
The servants fled one after another, and the only family members who had not left were also blown away by Zhu Huakui.
He stood in the middle of the hall and looked at the gold-wrapped chair.
"This gold from Taizu ...... I can't save it......" Zhu Huakui smiled bitterly, thinking of He Fengsheng running away in tears. (To be continued.) )
