The power of Hongyi's artillery was indeed undeniable. After rounds of shelling, Liu Liangzuo's soldiers guarding Yingtian Mansion basically had no fighting spirit. No one dared to rise up to fight back, and no one was willing to raise their head to fight back. They all huddled behind the city wall.
Round after round of shelling, just waiting for someone to escape first.
After all, the current situation is very obvious. The bombardment seems to be free of charge, rushing to blast the city wall. But they don't even dare to show their heads. In addition, the morale of the two armies is even more disparate, both due to reputation.
As a result. Below is His Majesty's army, which is justified in sending troops to suppress rebellion; but they are rebel soldiers and refuse to surrender.
To be honest, they were just big-headed soldiers. How could they have so many thoughts? It was not the idea from above, they just followed. For example, they didn’t know about Liu Liangzuo’s rebellion this time, but after all, they followed him and did many evil things.
Things have changed in my heart.
Even if they heard the word "rebellion", they would remain silent after knowing the benefits.
But this benefit was gone, and they couldn't help but feel a little regretful. In addition, they were all soldiers. As long as they jointly said that they knew nothing and were all deceived by Liu Liangzuo, I'm afraid His Majesty would not do anything to them.
Therefore, under the attack of artillery fire, the soldiers who were hiding behind the city wall gradually came up with this idea. And once some people's hearts became different, the speed of spread was very fast.
At this moment, several personal guards are also trying their best to dissuade Liu Liangzuo from leaving here quickly. They know that the situation is over, and defending the city here is a waste of time, and may even cost their own lives. If they escape now, there is no chance of a comeback in the future.
Chance.
"I do not go!"
But Liu Liangzuo was already going crazy, breathing heavily and holding the steel knife tightly in his hand. He didn't seem to accept everything at the moment, and was still immersed in the previous situation where he had tens of thousands of troops and had power over the government and the opposition.
"I still have tens of thousands of soldiers! I still have Yingtian Mansion! There are only tens of thousands of people, so I can't fight them! The prince and queen are both in my hands, they don't dare! Hahaha! I want to be the emperor, I want to
Be the emperor!"
Watching Liu Liangzuo's crazy appearance, several guards also had helpless faces. They could already feel the murderous intent of the soldiers around them, and they very much doubted what these soldiers who were planning to surrender would do at a certain moment.
Mr. Liu must have been captured alive, and these personal guards were probably... killed!
At first, they thought that with the two cards of Prince and Queen, His Majesty's army would not attack. But they didn't expect that the people who went to pick up the Prince and Queen had been away for so long and still hadn't come back. I'm afraid even the fools knew that it must be the Queen.
The prince and the prince were nowhere to be seen, otherwise how could it have been used for an hour?
Sure enough, after a while, the general who was responsible for picking up the prince and the queen also rushed to the tower, dodging the cannonballs and crawling to the ground in front of Liu Liangzuo. Apparently, he had not realized that his Lord Liu had gone crazy.
"Sir, Ma Shiying didn't let me go in! He said he would send people over in a while, but I was stopped when I tried to rush in. I had to come back first to recover!"
But at this time, Liu Liangzuo's face was full of despair, and his subconscious could hear it. Now that he was alone, Ma Shiying might have run away with people and property, leaving him alone to guard here.
At this moment, the sound of artillery stopped, and the surrounding soldiers also knew that the time had come, so they looked at each other and stood up. They slowly moved towards Liu Liangzuo, and they closely watched every move of the several guards.
, for fear that they would suddenly counterattack.
Seeing that almost all the surrounding soldiers were approaching, slowly building up a powerful force.
"What do you want to do?"
A guard commander immediately drew his sword and scolded the soldiers who were pressing here, yelling at them to back off. But he was already feeling a lot of nervousness in his heart, and he was sweating a lot while holding the sword in his hand. Don't look at his usual treatment of these soldiers.
He yelled a lot, but at this moment he felt a little guilty.
"Brother, you bullied us before, and we haven't settled the score with you yet. Today you have to protect your master and don't care about the life or death of the brothers. We really don't give you face. You know better, get out of here, otherwise
With so many people, you will die miserably." A soldier with a long and fierce face stood up and stared at the commander of the guards with a long knife in his hand.
"You want to rebel?"
After hearing this, the soldier smiled coldly: "Rebellion? This is what you are asking yourself, right? Let me ask you for the last time, do you want to get out or not?"
Seeing more and more soldiers approaching here, the guards behind them couldn't help but become more nervous. They all whispered that they wanted to leave here and leave Liu Liangzuo alone!
Finally, the guard commander threw down his long sword and said in a much softer tone: "I'm sorry, let's go."
"roll!"
After scolding him, the Qin Wei commander hurriedly ran down the tower with the guards behind him, fearing that these soldiers who had been bullied by him would come to settle the score with him.
Liu Liangzuo, who had gone crazy, was naturally tied up on the spot by the soldiers. Some who were unhappy with him secretly punched and kicked him a few times. But Liu Liangzuo, who had gone crazy, naturally didn't care...
…
After a long period of bombardment, the tragic situation above is already known to everyone. Not to mention the casualties of the defenders, the city wall alone feels like it is about to collapse. Such a violent bombing is naturally the most terrifying. The consumption of ammunition can
It's not a small amount, but Zhu Ling likes this feeling.
If you are poor, you will have tactical penetration; if you are rich, you will be covered by artillery fire.
It is really exciting to experience the attack of that kind of cluster of artillery fire. Zhu Ling was very excited when he saw it. If he didn't feel sorry for Yingtianfu's city wall and the limit of the number of cannons, he would not hesitate to come for a whole day.
Yuan Jixian, who had been in doubt all the time, also figured out something amidst the sound of cannon fire just now. Why did he insist on taking turns to fire the cannon regardless of their safety despite knowing that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Queen Zhou and a group of ministers were inside?
His Majesty didn't care about their safety at all, but when he thought about it carefully, he suddenly felt that he was really stupid.
The prince, queen and ministers must have been rescued, which made His Majesty feel relieved to attack the city wall.
"Your Majesty is really a god. He was able to rescue the prince and others from the palace in front of Ma Shiying, who had tens of thousands of troops. I really admire him. If this continues, I have hope of reviving the Ming Dynasty."
Having said that, Yuan Jixian also had a few tears shining in his eyes.
According to historical records of this person, Azig persuaded him to surrender, but he was sternly rejected. He was then taken to Beijing to die, and finally died a heroic death. And he had an apprentice named Fu Shan, and this person was the same person in the movie "Seven Swordsmen from the Tianshan Mountains"
The prototype of Fu Qingzhu.
Instead, you can consider asking him to introduce his apprentice to be his bodyguard.
Zhu Ling also chuckled, and then said: "I can't ignore the lives of the prince, the queen, and the officials. Even if they become hostages of the rebels, I must rescue them. How to rescue them, I have organized in advance
We gathered a troop called the Mo Dao Team, three hundred people, all holding Mo Dao and wearing heavy armor. They entered through the secret passage of the palace two hours ago."
"Your Majesty is so wise, I really admire you." Yuan Jixian also admired Zhu Ling's idea. He even thought of sending an elite force to sneak in from behind when the army was attacking from the front. In this way, no matter how rampant Liu Liangzuo above was,
It's not as crazy as the Hongyi Cannon.
Just as the two of them were talking happily, Ying Tianfu suddenly slowly opened the city gate. A group of soldiers slowly walked out from inside. They all raised their hands high and pushed a bound man among them.
The people then stopped after they all walked out of the city gate.
Seeing this, Yuan Jixian was a little confused and immediately ordered his army to prepare.
But Zhu Ling beside him smiled knowingly and waved his hand towards Yuan Jixian to let the army relax. "Can't Yuan Qing see it? The soldiers inside want to surrender."
"ah?"
Yuan Jixian looked very surprised. This was beyond his expectation. He thought there would be a tough battle this time. After all, although Liu Liangzuo was not a good man, he was still a general soldier and was quite capable of defending the city. But what he saw in front of him was a tough one.
This scene surprised him very much. He had planned to launch a bombardment just now, but he surrendered soon?
He must not have been frightened by the Hongyi Cannon.
"Since everyone has opened the city gates and surrendered, I have to give them face." Seeing that Yingtian Mansion surrendered with just cannonballs, Zhu Ling was naturally very happy. He immediately ordered Yuan Jixian to greet the surrendering soldiers.
horse.
Yuan Jixian naturally accepted the order and went with several hundred soldiers to meet the surrendered soldiers.
He saw what these subordinates were tied up with at a glance. He saw that Liu Liangzuo, who was extremely arrogant just now, was now looking like a lunatic. He didn't know what he was talking about. He was obviously unconscious, but specifically
It’s not clear whether he was stunned by the cannons or despaired of his impending death.
"Who is the biggest official here? Stand up!"
As Yuan Jixian shouted loudly, a man walked out from behind the group of surrendered soldiers, knelt down in fear and said:
"Sir, the younger one is Hu Ming, Liu Liangzuo's general."
Seeing the man named Hu Ming come out, Yuan Jixian immediately asked: "Who came up with the idea of surrender? How did Liu Liangzuo go crazy? How many troops are there in the city now? Where is Ma Shiying?"
After hearing so many questions, the general Hu Ming was naturally sweating a little, and he immediately said forcefully and calmly: "Reporting to your lord, the idea of surrender was agreed upon by all the brothers; Liu Liangzuo was probably desperate. The prince was gone, and he felt that
I can't defeat Your Majesty by myself; in the city, I'm afraid there are still 30,000 to 40,000 soldiers and horses, but where Ma Shiying went, I really don't know."
"Everyone squatted under the city wall, waiting for their fate!"
