Even if Kaifeng City was taken over by rebels, it would be nothing to the imperial court. But if something happened to the emperor's grandson, he would be left with more than a hundred kilograms in Kaifeng City.
People and land are saved, but people and land are still there.
Gao Gaoguang immediately figured out what he should do at this time.
The generals of the Dusi Yamen on the east wall immediately took orders, gathered the officers and servants at the top of the city, and ordered all the troops.
At this moment, outside Kaifeng East City.
The war situation has entered its final moments, and the officers and soldiers of the imperial court and the rebels are already fighting until their eyes are red.
All people with different clothes and belonging to different families are targets of being swung away with swords and guns.
The knife was blunt and the gun barrel was broken.
The primitive killing caused rivers of blood to flow all over the ground, and all you could see were stumps and broken arms.
Zhu Yunxi has changed his swords, guns and weapons countless times, and the wall of people in front of him always seems to be endless.
If it weren't for the fact that the rebel flag in front of him was getting closer and closer, it would even cause him to hallucinate.
At this moment, Zhu Yunxi was holding a shield in his left hand, and in his right hand was a Yanling sword that he had seized from the rebels.
Zhang Hui and Tian Mai, with their royal guards, surrounded Zhu Yunxi to defend him against the rebels who were attacking from around him.
Although there were only a thousand people in the Ma Army Camp under Ma Hongqing, the three thousand rebels were still being killed and retreating, feeling terrified.
Intimidated by the identity of the imperial officers and soldiers, and the fact that each of these officers and soldiers fought desperately, the rebels had already given birth to the idea of escape.
"The flag has moved!"
Zhang Hui chopped down a rebel in front of him and pointed his knife at the rebel flag not far in front of everyone's sight.
Zhu Yunxi held up his shield and withstood the blows. The knife in his hand was hidden under his body, and he kept cutting and stabbing the rebels in front of the shield.
When the rebels in front of him were temporarily gone, Zhu Yunxi lowered his shield slightly and raised his eyes to look at the rebel flag that had never been moved. He saw that it had begun to move towards the south at this moment, not very fast, and seemed to be in front of the rebels.
There is also a battle going on under the banner.
"Punch through!"
Zhu Yunxi roared angrily and charged towards the unorganized rebels ahead with his sword.
The figure of the rebel general outside Dongcheng has appeared in Zhu Yunxi's sight.
The man was dressed in the uniform of Qianhu of the Ming Dynasty Guards, except that he had red cloth wrapped around his forehead and upper arms to distinguish the camps one by one.
The general was leading his own soldiers to kill the imperial officers and soldiers in the south, trying to break away from the battle group.
Zhu Yunxi was angry.
He swung his knife into the chest of a rebel in front of him. The flesh and blood were torn apart, his ribs were shattered, and the tip of the knife came out through his back.
Zhu Yunxi let go of the knife in his hand, held a shield and knocked one side of the rebels into front of Zhang Hui and others. He had already kicked his feet and turned over, taking advantage of the situation to take a soft bow on the ground, looking for an arrow and stringing it.
Zhang Hui, Tian Mai and others also reacted at this moment and immediately led their men to kill him, protecting Zhu Yunxi in the middle.
Zhu Yunxi held a soft bow, waved his arm and pulled back the full moon. The arrow pointed at the rebel general who was trying to retreat to the south dozens of steps away.
Breathing pauses momentarily, the arrow feathers are released from the hand, the arrow breaks through the air, and the tail feathers streamline.
From a distance, I saw the figure of the rebel general swaying, seeming to shout, and then disappeared from Zhu Yunxi's sight.
Tian Mai was the first to react and immediately waved his arms high.
"The rebel leader is dead!"
"The rebel leader is dead!"
As Tian Mai shouted, the surrounding Jin Yiwei and Ma Junying officers and soldiers also shouted, and their momentum instantly overwhelmed the rebels on the battlefield.
Zhu Yunxi just took a breath, then found a knife again, and continued to rush towards the rebel banner that had become confused and didn't know where to go.
Regardless of whether it was true or false, when the rebels heard the news that their general had been killed by the imperial court, the last line of defense in their hearts finally collapsed completely.
The occupation has undergone substantial changes in an instant.
All the rebels just want to escape from the closed city quickly, find a hidden place to hide their identity, and wait a few years to change their appearance and become good citizens under the rule of Henan Province.
When Zhu Yunxi and his men were about to arrive in front of the rebel banner, they saw Zhu Shangbing rushing over from nowhere and killing all the rebels around the rebel banner.<
/p>
When Zhu Yunxi finally arrived, Zhu Shangbing began to drive the last few rebels guarding the rebel flag towards Zhu Yunxi.
This is to get another record of capturing the flag.
Zhu Yunxi glanced at Zhu Shangbing, who was looking at him across the way, without being pretentious. This was the moment to boost the morale of the army in order to deal with the other rebels in Kaifeng City.
He swung his sword straight out and completely eliminated the rebels guarding the rebel flag in a few strokes.
Looking at the ground aside, there is the rebel general lying on the ground silently with a bow and arrow stuck in his back.
Zhu Yunxi cut off the flag bearer's arm with a knife, then took the rebel flag, waved it twice in the air, then tilted it down, and slashed it hard on the flagpole with his knife.
"The rebels collapsed!"
Zhu Yunxi roared angrily, holding a knife and looking around at the rebels who wanted to support him.
Zhu Shangbing and others' eyes lit up, and they all raised their arms and shouted.
The rest is to surround and hunt down the defeated rebels.
Ma Hongqing looked around on the battlefield and saw that the enemy troops had no intention of fighting, so he immediately ordered his men to mount their horses and hunt down the fleeing traitors.
Zhu Yunxi was finally dissuaded by Zhu Gaochi, who was covered in blood and panting from the same killing, and had to stay on the battlefield to clean up those rebels who were still stubbornly resisting.
"The rebels in the east city have been identified. They rushed into the formation, captured the flag, and beheaded the generals. They have also explained the existence of the yamen and the people in the city. Now it is time to return to the city."
Zhu Gaochi's legs were trembling and he was holding a poisonous dragon gun in his trembling hands. He came to Zhu Yunxi and persuaded him in a low voice.
At this moment, Zhu Yunxi was looking for a water bag that he didn't know whose name it was. He pulled out the stopper, shut his mouth tightly, and then rinsed it on his face. He rubbed his hands randomly on his face, waiting for the blood stains on his face to appear.
, rinsed the supplies, opened his mouth to the spout of the pot and swallowed the water into his stomach, so as to calm the anger in his throat.
Zhu Gaochi frowned and said worriedly: "Did you hear what I said?"
When the water in the water bag was completely used up, Zhu Yunxi threw it away, flicked his palm, and a few drops of water splashed onto the little fat face.
He turned his head to look at the little fat man with blood on his face, and chuckled: "Did you hear the sound of horse hooves over there in the West City?"
Zhu Gaochi was stunned and turned to look in the direction of the west side of Kaifeng City, which he couldn't see at all.
Just listen to the sound of artillery fire and the sound of horse hooves over there.
Zhu Gaochi frowned and said: "What's the matter? We shouldn't enter the city at this time. As long as we hold the city head and wait for General Lan and General Mu to come with their troops and horses, we can completely complete the counter-rebellion strategy in Henan Road."
."
"Who said we have to wait for them?"
Zhu Yunxi tilted his head and looked at Zhu Gaochi, who was already confused, and said indifferently.
Don’t wait for Zhu Gaochi to speak.
Zhu Yunxi had already stood up, moved his chin, and motioned Xiaopang to look at the city gate: "It should be Gao Guang who brought people out. If you guessed correctly, when he comes, you will know what will happen to the West City now.
What's the situation?"
Zhu Gaochi was irritated and felt that he would never have peace all day long.
Seeing Zhu Yunxi say this, he could only stand up angrily, and saw that the newly appointed inspector of Henan Province and Yutian, the general manager of Taisun Mansion, had already led a group of Wuyangyang people to rush out of the city gate. In the blink of an eye,
Just come over here.
"I am above the light, but I am late in bringing in troops to support you. I beg you, Your Majesty, to punish me."
Gao Guanghuo led the people out of the city in a hurry, and when they arrived in front of Zhu Yunxi, he didn't care about the blood on the ground, folded his hands and knelt on the ground.
After Yutian finally confirmed Zhu Yunxi, he burst into tears. He kicked up his legs and came to Zhu Yunxi's eyes. He collapsed on the ground and hugged the thigh of His Highness the Emperor Taisun tightly with both hands.
.
"Your Highness..."
"Your Highness..."
"My slave finally found you."
"Woooooooooo..."
"Woooooooooooo..."
"Your Highness is fine! Your Highness is fine!"
"Woo woo woo..."
"..."
Yutian, who held the rank of fourth-rank official in the Twenty-Four Yamen and was the general manager of Taisun Mansion, felt as if no one was there and began to cry loudly. He cried so hard that his whole body trembled.
Zhu Yunxi frowned and listened to the harsh howling of the dog slave, with black lines all over his face. He bounced his legs twice but seemed unable to get rid of the dog slave.
Zhu Yunxi's eyes became anxious: "If you cry again, you will go to Zhongdu to guard the mausoleum!"
"Woooooooo...!"
In an instant, Yutian, who was still crying, immediately shut his mouth tightly.
But with eyes full of tears, he raised his head and looked pitifully at the gloomy-faced emperor's grandson.
Zhu Yunxi snorted: "Let go!"
Yutian was agitated, thinking about the miserable scene if he was really sent to guard the mausoleum in Zhongdu by the emperor's grandson. He immediately let go of his hands and huddled aside, holding his mouth.
Zhu Yunxi's ears finally calmed down at this time. He raised his head and looked at Gao Guang and several generals from the Dusi Yamen who were kneeling in front of him. He waved his hand and said: "Everyone, get up."
He said something, but Gao Guang and others did not dare to get up.
He lowered his head even further.
Gao Guangguang said in a deep voice, "Your Highness is a man of great wealth, and the country is the home of the country. If I allow Your Highness to sit in Kaifeng City to guard against the arrival of the rebels, you deserve to die. Today I want Your Highness to go out of the city to lead troops to clear out the rebels in the East City."
, even more so if you die."
Zhu Yunxi was a little helpless. He couldn't say that he was being carried out of the city. This probably made Gao Guang and the others worried and had bubbles of anger on their lips.
A hint of embarrassment flashed across Zhu Gaochi's face. He coughed slightly and stepped forward to explain: "Jiangcha Gao, today His Highness came to lead troops to clear out the rebels outside the East City. To avoid your worries, I didn't inform you in advance. You'd better hurry up."
Get up quickly and inform His Highness about the rebels around Kaifeng City one by one."
This is probably what you bring upon yourself.
What Zhu Gaochi was talking about was that his face flushed, but he did not dare to show it, lest Gao Guang and others would know the truth of what happened today.
Gao Guang didn't know the truth for a while, and was worried about what would happen if the emperor's grandson really got into trouble in Kaifeng City. After hearing Zhu Gaochi's explanation, he slowly raised his head and looked at him with a trace of doubt.
Zhu Gaochi nodded and said with certainty: "Today we will lead the troops of General Ma Hongqing, commander of the Beijing army and horse camp under the command of Xipinghou, to the East City to eliminate the rebels in the East City and leave a smooth road for Kaifeng City."
Gao Guangguang hesitated a little, looked at Zhu Yunxi who was silent on the side, and whispered: "Your Highness, since the rebels outside the East City have been wiped out, can Your Highness enter the city with his ministers?"
Zhu Yunxi looked calmly at Gao Guang and others, but in his ears he heard the continuous roars coming from outside the West City: "What is the situation outside Kaifeng City now?"
Gao Gaoguang was stunned for a moment.
I feel helpless that the emperor's grandson has not returned to the city at this moment.
But now the grandson of the emperor, who is as powerful as the emperor, is the sky of Henan Province, and his words are equivalent to the golden rule.
Gao Gaoguang said: "Reporting to Your Highness, there are rebels from various places outside Kaifeng City. As previously expected, the rebels from the Luoyang City direction outside the West City are the largest. They are mainly attacking the West City and trying to climb the city wall to open the city gate. The rebels outside the North City and South City
, it will be a sheep attack, which will involve the soldiers and horses in the city and dare not support the west city."
"Then where are Tang Bi's Yulin right guards?"
Zhu Yunxi asked blankly.
According to the original plan, Tang Bi should have led his troops to climb the city wall and defend Kaifeng City together with the troops in the city.
But now the sound of countless horse hooves coming from the West City told him that things seemed to be a little complicated.
The rebels in Luoyang City cannot have large-scale cavalry.
The cavalry of the Ming Dynasty were either hoarding in the important towns on the nine sides, waiting for opportunities to move, and cooperating with every northern expedition. On the Liting Sweeping Grassland, those remnants of the Yuan Dynasty who tried to restore the Central Plains Dynasty of the Golden Family were gathered. Or, the cavalry of the Ming Dynasty gathered together.
In Yingtian City, the capital, he guarded the safety of the Ming Dynasty capital. Whenever there was a war, he would be ordered by the emperor to go out to all directions.
And now around Kaifeng City, only the more than 5,600 Yulin Right Guards brought by Tang Bi from Yingtian City are pure and well-equipped cavalry.
Now only Tang Bi can lead his people to make such a big movement.
Gao Guang couldn't help but reveal a trace of annoyance and worry on his face when he heard His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun suddenly mention Tang Bi's Yulin right guard.
Tang Bi rushed out of the city with the soldiers and horses of Yu Lin's right guard, and directly charged the Luoyang City rebels. This was an impulsive move that he did not expect.
And he only got the news not long ago when he was stationed at the Yamen Gate to intimidate the disobedient people hiding in the city.
It was just that at that time, Gao Guangguang was going to take people to the West City to find out the situation there, but he didn't expect that the Emperor's Grandson had disappeared, and there seemed to be traces of the Emperor's Grandson outside the East City.
Let’s put aside Tang Bi’s affairs in the West City and come to the East City first.
After Gao Guang pondered for a moment, he whispered: "Not long ago, Commander Tang saw signs that the Luoyang City rebels outside the West City were attacking the city wall, so he rushed out of the city with his troops. He should still be fighting against the rebels outside the city.
The army rushes into battle and fights. I don’t know the details yet.”
When Zhu Yunxi heard this, he couldn't help but smile.
Under the gaze of Gao Guangguang, His Highness was not angry at all, but laughed out loud.
Zhu Yunxi said softly: "Tang Bi really dares to fight and fight hard. He wants to break the rebels' arrogance in one fell swoop."
Immediately, he turned to look at Zhu Shangbing who was not far away: "What do you think?"
Zhu Shangbing forgot to glance to the west, then looked at the officers and soldiers around him who were cleaning up the battlefield, and said with a groan: "It's just a charge. We still have more than 800 cavalry here, which is enough to bypass the south city and cooperate with Tang Bi's attack."
Rebels outside the West City."
Still have to rush into battle!
When Gao Guangguang heard this, he was really trembling with fear. He immediately kowtowed to Zhu Yunxi and begged: "Your Highness, there are only less than a thousand cavalry here, but there are tens of thousands of rebels over there in the west city, let alone more.
First, bypass the over 10,000 rebels on the south side of the city. This move is very dangerous. I will advise you. Your Highness, please follow me back to the city."
Zhu Shangbing, who proposed to lead troops to Xicheng again and cooperate with Tang Bi to harass the rebels outside Xicheng, also nodded.
"Ma Hongqing and I can handle the matter of going to the West City. It would be better for His Highness to put his rich body first and return to the city with the High Commissioner."
And Zhu Gaochi, who was so nervous that his hands were sweating, breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
He was really a little worried that Xiaohan would say something that would make people die and birds look up to the sky at this time, tempting Brother Hei to lead people to rush to the west city.
Zhu Yunxi also hesitated.
The Dongcheng side is one against three, and the officers and soldiers of the imperial court under Ma Hongqing are elite troops, and they can still do things like rush into the battle.
Not to mention the tens of thousands of rebels in the West City, there are also over 10,000 rebels outside the South City that need to be bypassed.
A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall.
This time, I forcibly stayed in Kaifeng City, using it as bait to lure the Henan Dao rebels to come and besiege Kaifeng City. This was already an extremely bold move.
If the incident of leading hundreds of people to the tens of thousands of rebels in the West City happened again, I am afraid that countless courtiers would initiate impeachment before I could respond.
Returning to the city at this time is the best choice.
When Zhu Yunxi was almost about to speak.
In the distance, Ma Hongqing, who had originally led his men back on horseback to pursue the fleeing rebels, was already rushing over with his men in the wind.
Before Ma Hongqing could stabilize his horse, the others had already turned over and dismounted their horses, and quickly rushed to Zhu Yunxi.
"Your Highness, the Marquis of Xiping has sent five thousand cavalry fifteen miles outside the south city, and they will arrive outside the south city from time to time."
Before Zhu Yunxi could speak, Zhu Shangbing had already screamed. He raised the long knife in his hand high, raised his arms and shouted: "Charge!"
Under the shouts of Qin Shizi, who had fought together with him, the officers and soldiers of Ma Junying who came back with Ma Hongqing sat on their horses and shouted one after another.
For a time, the boiling fighting spirit suppressed Gao Guang, who had opened his mouth several times to dissuade him.
Zhu Yunxi looked around and looked to the south.
Before Gao Guang could get up, Zhu Yunxi had already mounted the horse beside him and pulled out a spear stuck in the ground.
The red tassel was fluttering in the air, and the war horse trampled the ground uneasily.
The five thousand cavalry under the command of Xiping Hou Muying are already only fifteen miles away from Nancheng. According to the normal marching speed, when this cavalry suddenly appears in advance for some reason, it will start to accelerate and attack the enemy within ten miles or five miles away from Nancheng.
Military camp.
Now start rushing over from Dongcheng, and you will almost encounter these cavalry.
