Chapter 98 One Sword Breaks Thousands of Armies (6k order! Monthly ticket!)

boom!boom!boom…!
The city wall of Kaihua was under the violent impact of various siege machines, especially some large trebuchets. Every falling rock could smash a big hole in the city wall which was on the verge of limit.

This Kaihua city has reached its limit.

The Annan soldiers outside the city said this, and the Ming army inside the city also knew it.

Both sides know that once the city gate is broken, it will be a bloody battle until the death.

Mu Ying on the city wall had a look of steadfast defense in her eyes. Mu Ying originally planned to fight to the death to fight for the chance of victory, but with the arrival of His Highness Taisun, all of them were abolished.

For the current Muying, defeat in this battle is only the second priority, and the first is to keep His Royal Highness Taisun safe and sound.

As for what His Royal Highness Taisun said just now about defeating the enemy with one sword, Mu Ying couldn't tell whether she believed it or not.

Believe it or not, this is too unbelievable.

If you don't believe me, no matter whether it's crossing four thousand miles in a day, or receiving eight oxen crossbows empty-handed, these are beyond the reach of human beings.

It has been more than ten years since Muying guarded Yunnan, and he has not been to Beijing. He never expected that the elder nephew who knew the book and kept the etiquette before had changed so much after growing up.

"Father, the selection of two thousand dead men has been completed."

The eldest son Mu Chun walked quickly to Mu Ying's side and said in a concentrated voice.

"Ah."

"Push out the knife cart."

Mu Ying glanced at the location of the city gate, Annan's crash car was attacking fiercely, and the gate couldn't last much longer.

Hearing this, Mu Chun was taken aback, and nodded heavily.

The knife cart, also known as the plug gate knife cart, is a defensive tool used to block the city gate when the gate is about to be breached. It is extremely heavy and requires hundreds of soldiers to push it.

When in use, push the knife cart to the gap of the city gate, which can not only kill the enemy, but also block the enemy's arrows and stones. The width of the ordinary knife cart is between three and four feet. There are several layers of wooden frames in front of the cart, and each layer is fixed with steel. Dozens of knives.

In the battle of defending the city, it is generally at the stage of using the knife and cart, and it is not far from the city's destruction.

………………

Yingtian Mansion, Forbidden City, Qianqing Palace and Nuan Pavilion.

The chief officials of the six ministries and nine ministers, such as Liu Bowen, Bao Zhao, Huang Guan, Yu Xin, Qi Tai and other important officials, are waiting outside the Nuan Pavilion at this time.

Except for Huang Guan, Liu Bowen and a few others who were relatively calm, the others all showed doubts and vague uneasiness.

Since the grandson supervised the country.

His Majesty the Emperor had not summoned them for a long time, and when he thought of meeting Lao Zhu again, he couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.

"Your Majesty summoned us suddenly, but what's the matter? Have you heard any rumors?"

"I don't know, I think it should be about the Annan War, or the six kings' proclamation that made a lot of noise last night?"

"I also read that call-to-action article. The writing is smooth and brilliant. It is said that it was written by Guo Zi."

"........."

Several important ministers whispered a few words.

When Guo Zi was mentioned, Hubu Shangshu Yu Xin's heart skipped a beat, and his face was extremely ugly.

This Guo Zi was a Jinshi of Hongwu for 18 years. He was admired by Yu Xin when he first entered the Ministry of Household Affairs. Yes, but it was Yu Xin who recommended the superior all the way.

The attitude is obvious. Since Guo Zi wrote this essay, whether he was willing or forced, it shows that he has taken refuge in King Zhu Di of Yan.

Judging from this relationship path, he, Yu Xin, could not escape the crime of negligence in recommending, and if it was more serious, he would even sit down.

Except for him, Qi Tai frowned the most among all the people, Qi Tai was Minister of War after all.

Originally received the battle report of Annan's war, he was prepared with a full stomach of countermeasures.

Including how to deploy troops, how much food to prepare, the length of the war budget, etc., just waiting for His Royal Highness to summon him impassionedly, combing his chest, but waiting until the flowers are all withered, he still does not see the grandson summoning.

He made up his mind in his heart that he must behave well in front of His Majesty this time.

"My lords, Your Majesty has a decree to announce that your lords will have an audience."

The old eunuch stepped over the threshold, bowed and said in a low voice, after all, the people in front of him are all bigwigs, and an old eunuch like him can't afford to offend.

What's more, the eunuchs of the Hongwu dynasty were dogs according to Lao Zhu's definition. Even if he could follow the emperor, he could at most be a poodle.

All the ministers nodded slightly to the old eunuch, to give some face, then they crossed the threshold, entered the Nuan Pavilion, passed the outer court, and then entered the inner door, saw Lao Zhu sitting in front of the imperial case, headed by Liu Bowen, One after another is a great gift.

"Ah."

Old Zhu gave a faint 'hmm'.

He is in a very bad mood now, and he has just received the news that His Royal Highness is not in the Taisun Mansion.

As for where he went, even the grandson's accompanying eunuch didn't know.

'This kid must have gone to Yunnan alone. '

Old Zhu couldn't suppress the worry in his heart, although he didn't know how his grandson would go to Yunnan.

horse riding?Or by flying?
"I called you here today for two reasons."

After scanning the group of people standing in front of him, Lao Zhu's voice was very cold.

All the ministers bowed their heads slightly and lowered their heads, not daring to look up at Tianwei.

"One, the Ministry of Rites immediately started relevant matters, cut off the titles of the six kings of 'Jin, Yan, Ning, Liao, Gu, and Dai', demoted them to common people, expelled them from the imperial genealogy, listed their crimes of treason and immorality, and announced them to the world."

Old Zhu paused, then continued.

"Cutting Guangze King Zhu Yunqi to be a knight and demoted to a commoner."

After hearing those words, everyone who heard them felt cold.

This is the old emperor who personally cut down the feudal clan!
Once expelled from the imperial genealogy, it means that the six kings will not be able to be named Zhu in the future.

"Sir, obey the order."

Huang Guan, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, remained calm and respectfully led the decree.

"Secondly, I have been thinking about one thing for a long time recently, and today I finally made a decision, and I would like to ask your ministers for their opinions."

Old Zhu's voice sounded again.

All the ministers became nervous, because Lao Zhu used the word '望' this time, which rarely appeared in Lao Zhu's 31-year emperor career.

But every time it appears, there must be something big.

Everyone held their breath, waiting for old Zhu Tianyin.

"I want to give way to Xian."

"What do you think, who in the world can do it?"

Everyone's heart skipped a beat.

Mother, send a proposition.

………………

The outer city of Yingtian Mansion, the [-]th floor of Jinling, dim light in the early morning, beside the Qinhuai River.

A large number of craftsmen have already started working.

There is a popular saying in the 21st century: the wisdom of the ancients is infinite.

For example, in the original historical track, after Zhu Laosi ascended the throne, the Great Baoen Temple was built to commemorate his birth mother. It is 26 feet high and divided into nine floors and eight sides.

The super large cauldron, which is ten feet long, wide and high, sounds like an almost impossible project, but its structure is simple. Compared with the Dabaoen Temple, it is just an appetizer. Under the full speed of the Ministry of Industry, there are already Complete construction planning.

Thousands of artisans called from Zhili started construction on both sides of the Qinhuai River.

………………

Northern Territory, Jindi, Taiyuan Mansion.

Thirty miles away from Taiyuan Prefecture, there is a grand welcome team.

Jin Wang Zhu Bing personally led the civil and military forces of Jin to come, and three thousand elite soldiers lined up.

The current Zhu Xi can be said to be full of high spirits. After the six kings' alliance, he became the leader of the six kings' alliance. After the announcement of the document, he even appointed himself as the marshal of the soldiers and horses of the world's Qin kings in the name of 'Zhu Yunqi', the six kings' co-respect.

And the soldiers and horses used by the other five kings for the alliance have already arrived in Jin, with a total of 150,000 elite soldiers. In addition to the original strength of Jin and the rapid recruitment of troops, the number of soldiers and horses in Jin can be at least 300,000. Wang even felt that she should be proud of the world.

"Hold on a moment, Your Majesty, His Royal Highness will be here soon."

Zhu Bing nodded slightly.

He looked up at the sky, it was almost dawn.

At this moment, there was the sound of horseshoes at the end of the road ahead.

Zhu Bing hurriedly looked at it, and there was indeed a carriage galloping in the distance. The outer surface of the carriage looked very damaged, and it seemed that it was caused by continuous driving.

The carriage slowly slowed down and finally stopped a few feet away.

"Father!"

Zhu Jixi got out of the car happily, and quickly walked up to Zhu Wang.

Half a zhang away from Zhu Xi, plopped down on his knees, respectfully kowtowed and saluted.

"My son Jixi, pay homage to my father!"

"My son is back!"

Zhu Yan also laughed, stepped forward and patted Zhu Jixuan's shoulder heavily, and helped his eldest son up.

"You have done a big thing this time, and it's done beautifully!"

Say it.

Zhu Bing looked at the carriage, and Zhu Jixi also looked back.

From the carriage, the dusty Zhu Yunqi got off slowly.

Growing up in the south since he was a child, he has never experienced the northern border in March and April. The northern border is still bitingly cold in the early morning. Zhu Yunxuan, who just got off the carriage, couldn't help shivering.

It can be clearly seen that this 'His Royal Highness the New Grandson' is pale, with tiredness and fear for the future in his eyes.

In fact, on the second day after leaving Yingtian Mansion, Zhu Yunqi already regretted a little in his heart, and was afraid of his impulsiveness, which was tantamount to rebellion after all.

But when he thought that as soon as he arrived in the northern border, he would become the co-lord of the six kings of the northern border, with hundreds of thousands of troops under his command, and even the entire world in the future, the flame of anticipation was ignited in his heart again.

Zhu Yunwen looked at Jin Wang Zhu Xi who was a few feet away from the carriage, he didn't understand what Zhu Yu meant.

Logically speaking, since they are here to greet me, shouldn't they all go forward and salute to themselves?
Is it possible that I have to go there by myself?

With doubts, Zhu Yunwen bit the bullet, and comforted himself in his heart that the land in the northern border is rough, Zhu Yan must have stayed in the northern border for a long time and neglected etiquette, that's why he was like this.

Thinking of this in his heart, Zhu Yunqi tried his best to put a calm smile on his face, and stepped forward.

When he walked half a foot in front of Zhu Yan, and found that Zhu Yan was still looking at him with that sneer, Zhu Yunwen couldn't help frowning.

Since the six kings respect themselves as masters, shouldn't they salute themselves?

"What? Still waiting for the king to salute you?"

"Uncles and nephews are irrelevant, is this how you learned etiquette in Yingtian?"

Zhu Bing snorted coldly.

Zhu Yunwen was startled when he heard this, and then glanced at the civil and military officials following behind Zhu Po, as well as the soldier in black armor, all with mockery in his eyes.

He looked at Zhu Jixuan again.

He found that the son of King Jin who treated him respectfully in Ying Tian Mansion and said "His Royal Highness Grandson" also had a sneer on his face, and it was a completely different expression.

"Father, the road is bumpy, and His Royal Highness may be tired."

Zhu Jixi smiled slightly.

"That's it, come here."

"Take His Royal Highness Taisun back to the palace, and choose a quiet courtyard so that he can guard it."

Zhu Bing said lightly.

These words fell into Zhu Yunwen's ears, and it was like a thunderbolt. Although his IQ is not high, he is not a fool, so he can still understand what Zhu Yun said. The meaning of Zhu Wang's words is to put him under house arrest!

Anger flashed in his eyes instantly, but it was useless, a few soldiers forcefully dragged him into the pony carriage that had been prepared earlier, he could only stare fiercely at Zhu Jixuan, the good cousin who drove him out of Yingtian Mansion .

However, he was so angry that he didn't even dare to curse, he was afraid that Zhu Po would chop him up in a fit of anger, and then he remembered that his third uncle had always been tyrannical.

And Zhu Jixuan returned Zhu Yunwen's eyes of "you are a stupid pig".

Don't even think about who you are, how could the six kings of the Northern Territory hand over the military power to you, a silly pig, and respect you as the co-lord, just to have a reputation for rioting.

It's like the old Zhu had to use the name of King Xiao Ming to do his own business.

"Father, on the way back, my son got a report from the spies, saying that it was the war in Annan."

Zhu Jixuan looked at Zhu Po, and said in a concentrated voice.

.....................

Yunnan border town, Kaihua Mansion.

The battle of offense and defense is in a white-hot state.

The Hu clan's Yu army attacked the city like crazy, wave after wave. The Annan soldiers who attacked the city first had climbed the city wall seven or eight times, but they were all forced back by the Mu family and his son.

"Father, if you go down like this, the city will be ruined."

Mu Chun slashed at the forehead of An Nanbing who had just climbed up on the ladder, and split the head of An Nanbing's head. With a sound of "ah", the Annan soldier fell on his back and fell to the city wall.

"How long is it before the half hour set by His Highness?"

At this time, Mu Ying was also covered in blood. Although she was a 53-year-old veteran, she was unambiguous in killing people with a knife.

"There is still a quarter of an hour."

Mu Chun condensedly replied.

"Go and tell Mu Sheng that if the city breaks down in fifteen minutes, you and Mu Sheng will immediately lead the dead soldiers to protect His Highness to break through. Remember not to love to fight!"

Mu Ying frowned, and looked in the direction of the tower.

At the moment in the tower.

Grand Master Zhu was sleeping soundly leaning on a chair, with his left hand resting on his temple, his snoring echoed slightly. If there was a percentage display, the blue bar of the Grand Master could be seen at 90%.

boom!
Suddenly, a violent explosion sounded.

The snoring stopped.

Zhu Xiongying frowned, and slowly opened his eyes, showing his displeasure.

You can't sleep well, these bastards.

Among the Yu army of the Annan Hu family.

As the battle became more and more intense, the coach Hu Yuancheng had personally set out to supervise the battle, and he was very satisfied looking at his masterpiece just now astride his horse.

The explosion just now was the sound of shelling the city wall.

At this time, 56 cannons were placed one hundred and fifty-six steps outside the Kaihua city wall.

These 36 cannons were bought by Hu Yuancheng from the inside of Daming with a lot of money. Although they were all obsolete products from the Yuan Dynasty, they were better than nothing.

In fact, Hu Yuancheng bought more than 36 cannons at first, but after these cannons were dismantled and transported to Annan, some of them didn’t know how to install them, and some of them exploded when they were installed for test firing. In the end, only these [-] cannons were left. , and the range is not far.

Only when one's own soldiers completely occupied the area under the opponent's city wall, did they dare to move the cannon closer and bombard the city gate and city wall.

If it moved closer at the beginning, it would be directly shot into a sieve.

"Look, Your Highness, just one round of shelling, the walls of Kaihua Mansion are about to collapse."

The general beside him raised his finger and pointed to the left city wall of Kaihua Mansion, grinning loudly.

Hu Yuancheng was even more proud.

When he spent a lot of money on these artillery pieces, his younger brother, who is now the emperor of the Annan Dayu Dynasty, Hu Hancang, ruthlessly connoted him in front of the Supreme Emperor Hu Yiyuan.

'Hu Hancang, you little bastard, let's see how this king slaps you in the face after returning to the court after a great victory! '

"Pass on this king's military order, don't be stingy with fire pills, give this king a hard bang!"

"Yes!"

The commander quickly sent orders, and saw that the 36 cannons in front of the city wall began to reload ammunition one after another.

above the city wall.

Looking at the 36 cannons in the distance, the Mu father and son frowned. They were a bit unexpected. They didn't expect Annan and his group of poor people to be able to get such high-end artillery.

"Father, it's less than a quarter of an hour."

Mu Chun and Mu Sheng, each on Mu Ying's left and right sides, hacked and killed An Nan's soldiers who kept climbing up the city wall.

"Ah."

Mu Ying frowned tightly.

After this round of cannonballs, the Kaihua City Wall will basically be destroyed, and even a knife cart can't block so many gaps.

"Is there water?"

Just as Mu Ying was making a decision, a calm voice sounded.

Mu Ying was startled suddenly, and took a closer look.

At some point, in front of Muying, Zhu Xiongying's figure appeared beside the city wall.

The two Annan soldiers who had just climbed the ladder and rushed up the city wall, seeing Zhu Xiongying's "weak" appearance, raised their knives and slashed at Zhu Xiongying.

"Protect Your Highness!"

Mu Ying just yelled out.

The bodies of the two Annan soldiers who raised their knives were stunned and motionless, maintaining the posture of raising their knives high and casting a fixed body spell.

Then an invisible force pushed on the two Annan soldiers, and they fell down the city wall without a sound.

"Gu asked, is there any water?"

Zhu Xiongying's tone was still indifferent.

Mu Ying and his son were taken aback.

water?
Could it be that His Highness is thirsty?
In such an anxious battle situation, the big guys are busy killing people, so there is no time to fetch water.

And right now.

'Boom boom boom boom...! '

A series of roars came.

The 36 cannons in Annan's army were all fired together.

Thirty-six artillery shells shot straight at the city wall of Kaihua. If this round of artillery actually landed on the city wall, the city of Kaihua would undoubtedly be destroyed.

"That's it."

Zhu Xiongying raised his hand to grab it, a drop of blood just splashed on the side was suspended in the palm of his hand, and then he flicked his big sleeve.

"Water curse."

In a word.

In an instant, the flying drop of blood surged rapidly, turning into a sky-spanning waterfall of blood, blocking the city wall of Kaihua Mansion.

Those 36 shells were all blasted on the blood waterfall, and all of them became squibs.

This scene is shocking!

Not to mention that Mu Ying, father and son behind Zhu Xiongying were stunned.

The Ming army on the city wall and the Annan army who were attacking the city were all startled by this scene, whether it was miraculous or strange, and the battlefield fell into silence for a short time.

In the distance, Hu Yuancheng, who was originally full of pride, shrank his eyes sharply when he saw this scene.

Rubbing his eyes vigorously, and taking a closer look, there is indeed a bloody curtain like a waterfall appearing in front of the city wall of Kaihua.

"Your Highness, this..."

The general next to him was also full of confusion.

In all my life fighting, I've never seen it played like this.

He wanted to say 'unbelievable', but it was impossible to describe what he saw at this time.

But after a few breaths, the blood waterfall dissipated like soot of disillusionment, and all the 36 squibs fell to the ground, one of which was stained with blood.

"Witchcraft! It must be witchcraft to confuse people's eyes!"

Hu Yuancheng gritted his teeth, there are many strange people and strange skills in the land of Yunjiang, after thinking about it.

"Siege the city with all your strength, no more guns."

"Hand down the order, whoever can capture the great grandson of the Ming Dynasty alive will be granted ten thousand households, ten thousand gold rewards, one thousand pieces of silk and satin, and three hundred beauties!"

In his opinion, it doesn't make much sense to use artillery or not anyway. The city of Kaihua will definitely be destroyed, and using artillery can only speed up the speed of the city's destruction.

"His Royal Highness has an order to attack the city with all our strength!"

"Whoever captures the great grandson of the Ming Dynasty alive will be granted ten thousand households, ten thousand gold rewards, one thousand pieces of silk and three hundred beauties!"

More than a dozen heralds straddled their horses and yelled back and forth among the Annan leaders who were besieging the city. The originally silent battlefield became dry again. Annan's leaders all went crazy when they heard the reward.

Wan Huhou is boring, Wan Jin is even more wasteland, silk and satin are nothing, but there are three hundred beauties, the temptation that normal men can't resist at all!

On the city wall, Mu Ying regained her composure.

"His Royal Highness, you are truly a heavenly man!" '.

Mu Yingzhi lamented that it was different from other people's "fairy" and "god man" before.

"Your Highness, please..."

He just wanted to say, let Zhu Xiongying retreat with Mu Chun and Mu Sheng, and he will come to the rear of the palace to protect His Highness and break out of the encirclement.

After all, it is useless to just block the shells, and the 300,000 Annan soldiers who are red-eyed outside will not just withdraw.

Suddenly, he saw a three-foot long sword in Zhu Xiongying's hand.

Mu Chun and Mu Sheng, who were beside Mu Ying, looked at each other, and they both saw the astonishment in their eyes.

When did His Highness Taisun draw the sword?

I don't see a saber!

"Gu Fang just said that."

"When Gu Gu wakes up, he will destroy all armies with one sword."

Zhu Xiongying opened his mouth lightly, and it fell into the ears of Mu Ying and his son. These words were like a fairy tale, which is not dared to be written in a novel!
They didn't care about Mu Ying's father and son's expressions now.

Zhu Xiongying's figure slowly rose into the air until it was ten feet high in the air.

From this height, you can overlook the entire battlefield.

"This, this, this..."

The father and son looked up at Zhu Xiongying, and all three of them looked dumbfounded.

The Ming army and Annan soldiers on the city wall, including Hu Yuancheng in the distance and the Annan generals who were rushing forward, were all dumbfounded.

Looking at the densely packed Annan army below, Zhu Xiongying slowly raised the three-foot sword in his hand.

In the eyes, the sword intent instantly condensed.

"Flash in the pan."

The sword in his hand slashed down in a nonchalant way.

In an instant, the battlefield seemed to be frozen, and countless misty white and almost transparent epiphyllums bloomed in the void. Just as everyone was amazed by the petals that appeared out of thin air, each epiphyllum erupted with a piercing sword intent, and the petals condensed into flying swords, breaking through the wind. .

 Thank you for reading the paragraphs every day. It is really a pleasure to meet you.
