Zhu Houzhao, the lonely Ming Dynasty, angrily snatched Yan Shenggong at the beginning!

Chapter 27 The Ming Army is dissatisfied with its salary, and there is no enemy when it is full!
"The city is broken...the city is broken, run, run!"

I don't know who yelled, and the officers and soldiers of the guards on the city wall, who had no fighting spirit, turned around and ran away without saying a word.

"Stand, you are not allowed to run!"

Zhang Yu, who was about to fight to the death, was so angry that he cursed and stood in front of the officers and soldiers of the guard to prevent them from running away.

"Qianhu, the city has already been broken, and there is no point in keeping it going any longer. Our brothers are all old and young. If we die here, our family will have no way of life."

A veteran begged loudly to Zhang Yu who blocked his way.

"Bastards, as officers and soldiers of the imperial court, if you don't guard your home and protect the country, you abandon the city and flee, are you worthy of the imperial court?"

Zhang Yu scolded angrily.

"Ha, court!"

The veteran sneered.

"When did the imperial court take care of our life and death, when our fields were occupied by officers like Dahu and Zhang Ze, where was the imperial court?"

"We have no food to eat, and we don't even have warm clothes in winter. When we are watching the family members starve to death and freeze to death, where is the court?"

"When we worked hard to guard the frontier, killing the enemy and protecting the people, where is the reward and military salary that the imperial court promised us?"

"Good things don't come to us military households. When we die in war, we are remembered."

"Qianhu, let me tell you the truth, if it weren't for the entanglement of the young and old in the family, I would have surrendered to the Japanese pirates a long time ago. This military household is whoever is willing to be whoever is willing, and I will not do it Already!"

"you…"

Zhang Yu was at a loss for words for a while, and pointed his knife at the veteran, unable to speak for a while.

"Qianhu, you have been promoted and made a fortune, and you have a nobleman to help you. We understand that you worked so hard. But we, we didn't get anything. The military salary that the nobleman promised to pay us has not yet been seen."

"My mother is seriously ill at home, and I'm just waiting for the military pay to take her to the doctor, but where is the money now, my mother is about to die."

"We also want to be loyal to the court and work hard for the court, but the court treats us like animals. No, we are not even as good as animals."

"At the very least, the imperial court raises livestock and knows how to feed them with grass and water. As for us, we are just a group of stinking mounds who are ignored and hated by everyone. Only when people need to die, people will think of them!"

The veteran's roar made the surrounding soldiers look at Zhang Yu in silence, and some even clenched their weapons tightly, ready to kill him if he didn't give way.

"Lord Qianhu, no one wants to be a deserter, no one wants to bear this infamy, and people scold their backs. But did the court give us this chance, did those officials give us this chance, you and the acting commander Did you give us another chance?"

Zhang Yu's knife hung down slowly, and the veteran stepped forward and pushed it aside, bypassed the city gate below, and rushed to other exits.

The other soldiers ignored Zhang Yu and quickly passed by him.

Soon, only Zhang Yu and his two relatives were left on the city wall as personal guards.

Hearing the screams getting closer and roaring excitedly, Zhang Yu took out a strip of cloth and silently tied the knife to his hand.

Others can escape, but he cannot.

Leaving aside the favor of His Highness the Crown Prince's promotion, as a thousand householder, if he dared to escape, the imperial court would accuse him of losing the city afterward.

If he escapes, his relatives will take his place and receive the most severe punishment.

So he can't escape, and he can't escape!
"You guys go too, if I die, take care of my mother and my brother!"

Holding a round shield in one hand and a battle knife in the other, Zhang Yu stared at the Japanese pirates who had begun to climb below, and asked the two personal guards he selected from among his relatives to leave quickly.

The two guards looked at Zhang Yu who was ready to fight to the death, opened their mouths, gritted their teeth for the last time, turned around and fled elsewhere.

Zhang Yu was the only one left on the city wall!
"Hahaha, brothers, kill him, that guy is the only one in the city, hack him to death!"

What happened on the city wall, Lu Tao at the bottom of the city could see clearly.

He was born as an officer and soldier, and his ancestors were also military households. He knew exactly how miserable the life of military households was.

He was not surprised at all by the escape of the officers and soldiers, and even had already expected this in his heart.

"Treating the officers and soldiers like this, the Ming Dynasty is destroying the city wall, and its demise is just around the corner!"

With a laugh, Lu Tao looked at the city gate that had opened the gap, and Lu Tao showed a bloodthirsty ferocity on his face!
"Boom boom boom boom boom..."

Suddenly, bursts of drumming sounded from behind.

All the Japanese pirates were startled, and hurriedly turned their heads to look at the place where the sound came from.

Zhang Yu, who had already been fighting with the Japanese pirates rushing to the city, had a flash of surprise in his eyes, and killed the Japanese pirates in front of him with one knife, and hurriedly looked to the place where the sound came from.

A big flag fluttered in the wind, the flag was bright yellow as a whole, with a big blood red letter in the middle.

Under the banner, more than 200 soldiers armed with weapons and lined up in a battle formation led thousands of people behind them armed with various agricultural tools, coming aggressively.

At the front of the line, a dozen tall and strong men with long-handled axes and hammers in their hands guarded a child riding a donkey, ready to attack.

Um, donkey!

Lu Tao, who had a dignified face, was stunned for a moment, then pointed at the donkey that appeared on the battlefield, and laughed loudly while covering his stomach.

"Hahaha, is there no one in the imperial court? They even sent a donkey and a child here. I laughed so hard!"

"Hahaha……"

The Japanese pirates who originally thought that the army had come to reinforce them, and their expressions were a little nervous, also laughed out loud when they saw such a weird scene.

They just said, the army that Wei can fight has been cheated by their boss, how can there be reinforcements coming to support the Yamen of the Weisuo.

Now look at this.

Haha, a group of old and young, plus a little donkey.

Is this here for the rescue? Are you sure you didn't come here to sing a big show and deliver food by the way.

The forest is really big, and there are all kinds of birds. This is treating them as dough!

"Brothers, kill all these brave and hairy fish first, and then go to the city to enjoy it!"

"Hoohoho!"

The Japanese pirates who hadn't climbed the city wall yet, encouraged by Lu Tao, roared excitedly, waved their weapons, and rushed towards Zhu Houzhao and others with strange screams.

That's right, it was Zhu Houzhao who came.

Knowing that Japanese pirates were harassing him, he didn't choose to leave. Instead, he summoned the salt workers from the salt factory, and along the way, he also summoned some other young men, and rushed over in a hurry.

As for why he rides a donkey?
It wasn't that he had any special hobbies, but that his legs were too short to reach the stirrups, so he temporarily found a donkey as a mount.

As for whether the donkey dares to charge up on the battlefield, it depends on whether the donkey wants to be burned as donkey meat at night.

"Prepare!"

Seeing the Japanese pirates rushing, Zhu Houzhao raised the long-handled hammer in his hand and gave the order to fight.

"drink!"

The boy scouts at the front roared, and the three-dimensional shields set up their spears, ready for battle.

The people behind the boy scouts were holding their farm tools nervously, their bodies trembling slightly.

After a period of calmness during the journey, the blood rushing to their minds has cooled down, and some people have even begun to regret it.

If it wasn't for his wife and children, and His Royal Highness's promise of exchanging one head for ten taels of silver, someone would have sneaked away long ago.

"Hoohoho..."

The speed of the Japanese pirates' charge was very fast, and within a dozen breaths, they were 10 steps ahead of the team.

"put!"

Staring at Zhu Houzhao who was opposite, he swung his sledgehammer and roared.

The few archers in the team instantly let go of the bowstring in their hands.

"嗖嗖" arrows pierced through the air, and the Japanese pirates who rushed the fastest and ran at the front of the team screamed and fell to the ground!

Seeing the Japanese pirates getting closer, Zhu Houzhao's eyes became more and more excited.

Glancing at Zhang Yong who was watching him nervously, Zhu Houzhao rolled his eyes and suddenly pointed to the distance.

"There is an ambush!"

Zhang Yongmeng turned his head, and when he saw no one, he exclaimed in his heart, "It's not good." Then he turned his head and saw Zhu Houzhao clamping the donkey's belly with his legs.
