Daming: From the end of Hongwu

293 Chapter 291 - Zhen Wu's Bravery and Jinan City Breakdown

Gradually.

The news that the Yan army planned to dig embankments and flood Jinan City spread in Jinan City, and even ordinary people knew about it. For a while, the people in Jinan City were panicked.

This directly caused the already precarious Jinan City to become more and more turbulent.

"Asshole, why did the news leak out?"

Sheng Yong's indignant voice sounded in the meeting hall, his tone full of anger and anger.

Tie Xuan on the side was rubbing his sunken eye sockets and temples, trying to arouse some energy in his body, when he heard Sheng Yong's irritable voice, he frowned and sighed: "General Sheng, please be safe!" impatient."

Tie Xuan squeezed his eyebrows again and said: "Yan Jun's stubborn actions have not been concealed. Many generals at the top of the city have seen it. It is not surprising that the news has spread. It has been predicted and countermeasures. The general can tell us what we plan to do. If the news of the surrender spreads out, the hearts of the people in the city will be stabilized."

Sheng Yong's pupils shrank and said: "Is this inappropriate? If the news that we plan to surrender is spread, the soldiers will not know that we are only a fake surrender, and many soldiers who don't know the truth will no longer have the heart to fight bloody."

"It's okay."

Tie Xuan waved his hand and said firmly: "As long as King Yan can be killed, the army of Yan thieves will be defeated without a fight, and the morale of the army will naturally rise because of this." At this point, Tie Xuan turned to look at Sheng Yong, and asked : "Is the heavy pendant on the city gate properly installed? As long as you trick King Yan to the city gate, once he falls, he will definitely die. Even if the emperor reprimands me in the future, I will not be afraid."

Hearing this, Sheng Yong and Gao Wei looked at Tie Xuan together, and they both had firm eyes. After they looked at each other, Sheng Yong said: "Gentlemen, don't worry about the Qianjin fall. There will be an accident, and if the emperor blames me in the future, I will bear it with you."

Tie Xuan nodded.

The room fell silent for a moment, but there was a stream of like-minded beliefs quietly flowing.

However, at the next moment, Gao Wei asked worriedly, "Will the King of Yan really believe you if some elders are asked to go to the Yan army to talk about it? I'm always worried that the King of Yan won't be fooled."

The corner of Tie Xuan's mouth twitched and said: "After we spread the news of surrender, we will invite some people to cry at the top of the city. The people in the whole city have surrendered. How can King Yan not believe it, not to mention that King Yan is suffering from soldiers trapped in the river?" It's been a long time, and he can't resist the temptation of Jinan City."

Gao Wei thought for a while, Tie Xuan's words made sense, and then he didn't say any more.

The few heavy punches that were thrown by Zhen Wu in Beiping Yanwang's mansion some time ago slowly emerged in his heart, and he suddenly began to look forward to the scene of Yanwang being smashed to death.

He admitted that he underestimated King Yan before.

The road that can go against the sky will lead to self-destruction.

When King Yan died, I don't know what the mighty 20 Yan army should think.

……

Time passed quickly, Jinan City quickly found some elders, a group of people tremblingly led by two young soldiers towards the Yan Army barracks, and on the top of the city, Tie Xuan also made many people climb Go up to the city and cry.

The common people are living a bad life these days. They are frightened every day and lack food and water. There is no need for Tie Xuan to exaggerate. Looking at the blood-stained city wall one by one, they all burst into tears.

After Zhu Di learned of this scene, he was at a loss. What the hell is Jinan City planning?

However, after he invited the group of elders to his tent, he was overjoyed when he heard what these elders said, even his eyebrows could not help but twitch with joy.

The rest of the generals also looked happy.

So far, the fall of Jinan City is the best ending.

But the next moment, all the generals including Zhu Di frowned again.

I only heard an elder stand up and say: "Nowadays, the treacherous ministers in the court are in power, and the king is furious, and he raises troops to fight against him. It is for the sake of the country and the country. We old guys understand, but the hundreds of thousands of my subjects in Jinan City are high-ranking officials." The emperor's people, the king is the son of the emperor Gao, so they are naturally willing to surrender the king, but the people of the East China Sea, who are not used to fighting, see the king's army overwhelming the country, and many people don't understand the purpose of the king's peace of the world I mean, I am afraid that after the king enters the city, I will kill my subjects in Jinan, so I have gathered to resist until now, and I dare not let go of my vigilance..."

Having said that, the old man looked a little hesitant.

Seeing this, Zhu Di said, "What do you mean, you can speak up."

The old man glanced at Zhu Di, and knelt down: "We would like to ask Your Majesty to retreat ten miles to comfort the hearts of the people in Jinan, so that His Majesty can come to Jinan City in person, and we will definitely prepare drinks to welcome His Majesty. If the common people are happy together, it will also let the people of the whole city see the generosity and benevolence of the king, and the people of Jinan City will naturally no longer resist the king."

There was a moment of silence in the tent.

Let Zhu Di go alone?
No matter how it sounds, this is a bit risky.

But what the old man said was well-founded, and no one could find fault with it.

Zhu Di was also thinking quickly in his mind at this time, but he didn't believe what the old man said, why did he know that he was thinking about the country and the country, why the people of the East China Sea didn't practice war, it was all fucking nonsense.

But Zhu Di also had other thoughts in his heart. Just imagine that Jinan City resisted him for nearly three months and killed him with more than ten thousand Yan soldiers. Even if they wanted to surrender, how could they not worry that he would settle the score?
What's more, the incident of the embarrassing embankment left Jinan City with nothing to do. What else could they do but surrender?
I'm afraid the intention of these old men coming here is to surrender, but the premise is that he promises that he will not care about the previous affairs with the people of Jinan City.

How difficult is this.

He, Zhu Di, has never been a stingy person.

As long as Jinan City can be taken, those old grievances will not be worth mentioning.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Zhu Di's face. He walked out of his seat, helped the old man up himself, and chatted with the old man cordially with a smile.

At this moment, Cao Xiaoman rushed in as if he didn't know the rules, and under the watchful eyes of Zhu Di and other generals, he came to Zhen Wu's ear and whispered softly: "There is a young soldier in this group of envoys, Taking advantage of the abdominal pain, he wanted to ask General You to see him, but he said he was entrusted by Shi Leng."

stone cold? !
Zhen Wu was shocked immediately.

He made a solemn confirmation to Cao Xiaoman, then clasped his fists to ask Zhu Di for instructions and left for a while. Zhu Di didn't understand, so although he was dissatisfied with Zhen Wu's lack of rules, but out of trust in Zhen Wu, he waved his hand to let Zhen Wu go down up.

In the tent, Zhu Di then chatted kindly with the old men, and unconsciously happily agreed to all the old men's requests.

When Zhen Wu came back, the group of old men had already opened their mouths to say goodbye and leave.

Zhen Wu had a serious face, watching Zhu Di send the group of old men away in a leisurely manner, and after only a few senior generals were left in the account, Zhen Wu said: "Your Highness, I got the news, Tie Xuan and the others intend to pretend to surrender, and trick His Highness into entering the city, fearing to kill His Highness."

"what?"

All the generals present were shocked.

Zhu Di was even more surprised and asked, "Where did you get the news?"

Zhen Wu took a deep breath and said: "The news was sent by a young soldier who led the group of elders, but the one who asked him to send the news was an old friend of mine who had known each other for more than ten years, and even the elder brother of the third child in my family." Uncle Shi Leng, Your Highness should know that my family has some business, and Shi Leng moved to Jinan City in order to open up the situation in Shandong a few years ago. In order to prevent other businessmen in Jinan City from crowding out Shi Leng, I specifically begged His Highness to send someone to him A Jinan household registration was issued."

Speaking of this, Zhen Wu took out a letter and handed it to Zhu Di, and then said: "This is the letter he sent me. The letter said that although there were rumors of surrender in Jinan City, he deliberately searched for people to inquire about it. The government government is still loose on the outside and tight on the inside, whether it is the dispatch of military rations or defensive materials, they are still preparing in an orderly manner, and more importantly, the West City Gate has been completely replaced by Sheng Yong's personal soldiers in the past few days."

How could such signs come true?

After Zhu Di read the letter, he slapped the letter heavily on the table angrily. Seeing this, the generals scolded Tie Xuan for treachery, and they begged for orders to attack Jinan again.

Zhu Di didn't answer, looked at Zhen Wu who was silent at the moment, and asked, "What do you think?"

Zhen Wu said in a deep voice: "The siege of the city in the past two months shows that the defenders of the city are not mediocre. Even if we dig the embankment, there is no guarantee that the other party will not think of other ways to deal with it. Moreover, the matter of digging the embankment and His Highness's reputation will always come together." No problem, if I say it, it’s better to follow the plan.”

"Tell me in detail."

Zhen Wu nodded, and said in detail: "Since we know that they have surrendered falsely, we can make preparations in advance. Didn't they let our army retreat ten miles? Our army can retreat, but we can still secretly detour more than ten thousand soldiers and die near Jinan City. Your Highness will bring fifty elite soldiers to Jinan City. We can hide our shields and canopy carriages. The gates of the city are narrow, and Shi Leng will lead people to respond in the city. Soldiers and horses will come near the city, and more than ten thousand soldiers and horses will pour into the city, and no one will be able to drive them out for a while, and when the army arrives, the city of Jinan will surely fall."

"It's just... It's just that if this method is used, His Highness will be in danger, so it's up to His Highness to choose." After Zhen Wu finished speaking, he fell silent again.

After thinking for a moment, Zhu Di said with a ruthless expression on his face: "I haven't encountered any danger in these years, so I will act according to this plan. It is best if Jinan City is really surrendered. If it is a false surrender, then we will take the opportunity to fight in."

At this moment, Zhang Yu was thinking, and said at the same time: "Is 50 people too small? It's too risky for His Highness."

Zhu Di shook his head and said, "It's not many, but there's no other way. If there are more people, Tie Xuan, Shengyong and others will definitely be vigilant, and they won't open the city gate."

"Your Highness, do you think it is possible for the people with a few carriages to drop behind you to say that they are delivering food to them? Jinan City should be short of food. Another point is that the carriages do not go with His Highness. If they want to If His Highness is to be killed, His Highness should not be prevented from entering the city because of this, but as long as there is a fight, these people will be able to support His Highness as quickly as possible."

"This method is fine, but there should not be too many carriages."

……

After that, in the tent, all the generals began to discuss in a hurry, and they worked together to maximize the odds of winning bit by bit.

In the following days, the Yan army first retreated ten miles, and then Zhu Di sat in a luxurious carriage and took fifty elites to Jinan City. Behind him, several carriages were filled with food and grass. follow far away.

At the foot of Jinan City, Zhu Di got out of the carriage, mounted a horse sent by Zhen Wu, and directed at the defenders on the city, motioning them to put down the suspension bridge.

These fifty elites are all elites in the Yan army, Zhen Wu, Zhu Neng, Zhang Wu, Xue Lu, etc. are all mixed in. They watched the suspension bridge slowly come down, and the gate of Jinan City also opened from inside. Opening it slowly, they all took a deep breath at the same time.

Then Zhu Di took the lead and led the crowd towards the city.

Tie Xuan on the top of the wall, Sheng Yong and the others watched Zhu Di slowly approaching, with a smile on their faces, as if they had seen the scene of Zhu Di's death.

Once Zhu Di dies, the war will cease.

They slowly counted the seconds in their hearts, and the heavy pendant specially hung inside the city gate glowed with a dark light, making the whole passage as icy and cold as Huangquan Road.

They just wanted to smash Zhu Di to death, and they didn't care how many carriages followed Zhu Di.

But at this time, Zhu Di and the others had already secretly become vigilant, and Zhen Wu, who was beside Zhu Di, was mobilizing all the muscles secretly, and even the sitting horse felt a bit of tension.

One step, two steps, three steps...

Finally, Zhu Di walked into the gate. Countless southern troops in front of the city watched Zhu Di slowly walk to a position, and suddenly they all shouted: "The thousand-year-old is here."

The voice was a bit abrupt, but it made sense.

The sound waves rolled over and reached Zhu Di's ears, making Zhu Di a little dazed.

But Zhen Wu suddenly jumped up from his horse and rushed towards Zhu Di. He was entrusted by the whole army to protect Zhu Di at close range. Everyone else can relax, but he can't. After the voice sounded, Zhen Wu had to ensure Zhu Di's safety as soon as possible, regardless of whether there was any problem with the voice.

Zhen Wu moved like a rabbit, and was as fast as a thunderbolt. He flew through the air and threw Zhu Di off his horse. Immediately, the two fell to the ground and rolled forward.

A loud noise followed.

Zhen Wu's eardrums ached from the loud voice, but what he saw in his eyes made him even more terrified. He saw that Zhu Di's horse had been smashed to pieces by the falling brake.

The slightly hot horse blood splashed all around, and also splashed on the faces of Zhen Wu and Zhu Di, making them feel unusually hot.

Zhu Neng and the others reacted immediately, urged their horses to protect Zhu Di behind them, and the countless southern soldiers in front of the city gate had all drawn out their bows and arrows, and the sharp arrows were shooting at them like rain. come over.

"Avoid the horse's belly."

"Get the shield quickly."

……

Several people shouted at the same time, their voices were so high that they broke, Zhen Wu and Zhu Di also turned over and hurriedly looked for shelter.

Puff puff.

Countless arrows flew in, and the sound of arrows hitting the horse rang out continuously.

Blood splashed with the neighing of the war horse.

Many war horses were instantly shot into hornet's nests, and some soldiers who were hiding or were not fully prepared also died under the rain of arrows.

The round of arrow rain finally stopped.

At this time, all the soldiers of the Yan Army started to move. They were all strong men and veterans of many years in the battlefield. They knew that after the rain of arrows stopped, there must be a few breathing spaces. At this time, they did not take shields. When to pick it up? !
"Position."

A shield defensive circular formation was finally laid out with difficulty after the second round of arrow rain washed away and several soldiers died.

At the same time, fires broke out in countless places in Jinan City, and Shi Leng personally led his men to attack the city gate. In the carriages that followed Zhu Di far outside the city, soldiers of the Yan Army turned over and headed towards the city. Door support.

Qiu Fu brought the fine cavalry who came round and killed them at the fastest speed.

Tie Xuan and the others at the top of the city did not expect this change at all. In their hearts, they thought that Zhu Di would die. Even if they retreated [-] steps and let Zhu Di escape with his life by chance, they would not worry about breaking the city.

Sheng Yong hurriedly shouted: "Everyone give it to me."

The southern army in the city rushed towards Zhen Wu and the others like a surging river, and Zhen Wu and the others were like a rock, fixed firmly at the gate of the city.

From time to time, Zhen Wu's horse lance pierced through the shield formation, and it would inevitably take the life of a soldier of the Southern Army. After a while, a lot of corpses accumulated beside the shield formation.

However, the Southern Army did not have other options.

After a while.

Zhu Neng yelled loudly: "Fuck, there are chariots, dodge."

But that came in a hurry.

With a bang of the chariot, Zhen Wu and his formation were knocked away, and several soldiers were crushed to death on the spot, but it was too late to be sad at this time, countless spears were already stabbing at Zhen Wu, Zhen Wu quickly dodged, and took advantage of the momentum to sweep across Suddenly, all the Southern Army soldiers surrounding him were swept away by Zhen Wu.

At this time, Zhen Wu saw that Zhu Di was in danger, and he was very anxious. He picked up a dead horse's leg beside him, and the veins on his arm suddenly appeared. With a loud roar, he swung a war horse up.

Countless soldiers of the southern army vomited blood and flew out, while Zhen Wu aimed at Zhu Di's direction, let go, threw the horse in front of Zhu Di, besieged Zhu Di's southern army soldiers in fright, and all ran for their lives in a hurry.

Zhen Wu saw how good his mother is, he stepped forward and swung a war horse to sweep away.

Zhu Di, Zhu Neng and others, as well as the soldiers of the Southern Army were all speechless in their hearts. What kind of monster is this? It can swing a war horse like a chicken.

And Tie Xuan and others who saw this scene from afar couldn't help being shocked in their hearts.

It has long been rumored that Zhen Wu is the number one general of the Yan Army.

But they never expected to be so fierce.

Is that human being? !

Are they fighting humans in general? !

……

However, no matter how brave Zhen Wu is, as time goes by bit by bit, it will not change the fact that Zhen Wu and his team are getting fewer and fewer people, and every time someone is missing, the pressure on all of them will be doubled. It has begun to be unstoppable, and even Zhen Wu has the idea of ​​breaking out of the siege, with Zhu Di and others thinking of running away.

At this moment, the sound of horseshoes sounded outside the city.

Qiu Fu led the fine cavalry across the suspension bridge, rushed into the gate, and scattered the southern army soldiers who besieged Zhen Wu and others in an instant. Qiu Fu and the others nimbly harvested lives one by one on the horse, looking very beautiful .

Zhen Wu finally breathed a sigh of relief at this moment.

Finally the fuck came.

Jinan City was finally about to be captured.

Zhen Wu looked back at Zhu Di, and Zhu Di couldn't help showing a smile on his face at this moment. Jinan City is different from Hejian and other places. This strategic significance is enough to be called a turning point. It's worth it, and it's worth breaking through this dangerous situation.

But at this time, it was not the time to be discouraged. Zhu Di encouraged the soldiers and started chasing and killing the Southern Army with all the soldiers. Guard the open city gate and wait for the army to come.

Half an hour later, the Yan army finally arrived under the leadership of Zhang Yu.

Countless Yan troops began to attack the city, reaping the fruits of their battles.

As the results of the war gradually expanded, Jinan City had no more resistance, and Tie Xuan, covered in blood, stood on the top of the city, looking at the impending doom of Jinan City, and spat out blood in grief and indignation.

He looked at the Yan army that was besieging him, and stood on the top of the city. He looked up to the sky and was furious: "Zhu Di, you will be punished by heaven for acting against the law."

Then he jumped down from the top of the city and fell to his death at the foot of the city.

And Gao Wei hid behind a residential house, found a rope with tears all over his face, and hung himself on the beam looking at the direction of the southern capital. The two of them were worthy of their previous promises and their beliefs.

Sheng Yong led his troops out from another city gate and fled towards Yanzhou Mansion. On the way, he looked at Jinan City, which was full of swallow flags, thought of Tie Xuan and Gao Wei being trapped in the city, and thought of the situation that the court would face afterward. , burst into tears.

In this battle, Zhu Di once again shocked the world.

And Zhu Yunqi, who had always been full of confidence, started to panic for the first time, and for the first time, he also had the idea that he might lose.

……
