After the Han army landed at 6, they were not in a hurry to attack the city. The natural barrier of the Yangtze River had been broken, and there was still a tall and majestic city wall of the capital. There were countless rolling wooden and stone artillery, crossbows, and only the light infantry who were crossing the river did not even have a ladder. At this time,
To attack a city is to commit suicide.
The Han army first occupied the forts along the river. The defending troops had already dispersed. Occasionally, some slow runners raised white flags and surrendered. The Yangtze River line was dotted with fortresses, tall walls and dams, with artillery holes dotted all over the place, and baggage piled up like mountains. If the Zhou army had resisted stubbornly, it would still have been possible.
It was enough for the Han army to drink a pot.
The red flags of the Han army have been planted on all the front lines of the forts. The soldiers turned the cannons originally aimed at the center of the river and aimed them at the walls of the capital. These cannons were cast by the imperial court at the expense of countless people's sacrifices. Some of the cannons even
It had never been fired before, and the barrels of the guns were all brand new, which gave the Han army an advantage.
Cannonballs and gunpowder were piled up like mountains. The neatly stacked round cast-iron cannonballs were already rusty, and the wooden barrels containing gunpowder were also covered with a layer of ash. This showed that the Zhou army was slack in training and had no intention of resisting at all.
.
Yuan Feng disembarked from the stern ship and landed in a kayak. A large group of sergeants boarded a fort with the King of Han's banner. Five soldiers worked hard to erect the banner. As soon as the huge flag was unfolded, it fluttered in the wind.
At this time, the sky cleared the clouds and revealed the sun, and the autumn sunshine shone on the fiery red and gold-embroidered Chinese character king flag, which was dazzling. When the soldiers of the Han army on both sides of the Taiwan Strait saw the big banner fluttering on the north bank, they suddenly burst into thunderous cheers, which shook the whole country.
A carved nanmu chair covered with brocade cushions was placed on the brick floor of the fort. Yuan Feng looked at the chair and said: "This kind of chair is used in a fighting place. It would be strange if the battle is not defeated. Bring me my bed!"
A special marching horse was brought over, and Yuan Feng sat on it and began to arrange his troops. Although the target was right in front of him, and he had made an oath with Xia Qinxin that whoever came to the capital would be the king, but for a mature man
For the generals, there was no need to rush at all. Emperor Zhou was not an incompetent person, and the Zhou army had quite a lot of troops to defend the capital. At this time, he was too anxious and wasted the lives of his soldiers.
After mobilizing troops and dispatching generals, there was finally a moment of leisure. The soldiers escorted a middle-aged man wearing the uniform of a general of the Zhou Army. When the man saw Yuan Feng, he knelt down and kowtowed.
Said: "Wang Chunhu, who holds a humble position as deputy general of Jiang Defense, is willing to submit to the king."
The sergeant next to him introduced: "Their fort never fired a shot from the beginning to the end. When we attacked it, we didn't run away. We just raised the white flag and surrendered. It saved us a lot of trouble."
Yuan Fengqi said: "Wang Chunhu, your court has given you so many cannons, why don't you use one?"
Wang Chunhu spread his hands and said plausibly: "Your Majesty, I have no choice but to take this humble position. Unfortunately, I have lost the crowbar to open the powder box, so I really can't fire the gun."
Yuan Feng was speechless. He waved his hand and asked someone to take Wang Chunhu down. Unexpectedly, Wang Chunhu kowtowed and said: "I am willing to work like a dog and a horse. Please give me a future."
Yuan Feng was so angry that he almost laughed: "Whose humble position do you have? I can't use people like you. Come on, drag him down and kill him."
Wang Chunhu suddenly began to howl like a ghost, and Lan Yu stepped forward and whispered: "If I kill Jiang Shun, I'm afraid it will be detrimental to the cause."
Yuan Feng thought it was true, so he changed his mind and said: "Forget it, he is a talented person who can come up with such a reason for not resisting, so I'll reward you with two dollars and get out."
Wang Chunhu was overjoyed that his life was saved. He kowtowed repeatedly, took the money and left with a lot of thanks. When he walked down the fort, he happened to pass by Deng Yunfeng who was being escorted. Deng Yunfeng, who was covered in bloodstains, looked at Wang Chunhu with disdain.
He spat: "Coward!"
Deng Yunfeng was escorted to the front of the Yuan Dynasty. His general soldier's uniform was already badly damaged, his armor was in disarray, and his robe was stained with blood and smoke. The sergeant introduced him: "This man is stubbornly resisting. Those cannons never stopped, and they fired again and again."
You are right, we are at a disadvantage because of our old nose."
Yuan Feng looked Deng Yunfeng up and down and said: "The cannon shot is quite accurate."
Deng Yunfeng snorted coldly and turned his head away, with a look of righteousness on his face.
The escorting sergeant was furious and kicked his kneecaps hard, knocking him to the ground: "You dare to speak harshly in front of the King of Han, be careful of your life!"
Deng Yunfeng gritted his teeth and said: "If you want to kill or scrape, just do as you please. Even if you frown, you are not a good man."
Yuan Feng laughed loudly and said: "I respect such a brave and righteous man with character the most. Come on, please take off the rope, reward him with some travel expenses, and send him back."
Everyone was confused, even Deng Yunfeng was stunned. It was not until the ropes were untied, the soldiers pushed him under the fort, gave him a piece of silver, put away their weapons and left, that he realized that the Han army really didn't know how to do it.
Kill him.
He raised his head, looked at the heroic King of Han above, and asked his own question: "Why?"
Yuan Feng smiled faintly: "I'm happy."

Deng Yunfeng was stunned by the shell. After knowing that he was captured, he was ready to die for the king. When he was escorted to the king of Han, he thought that the king of Han would either kill him directly or take off his robe and put it on him.
, pretending to persuade him to surrender, he was even ready, if that happened, he would just tear off his robe and throw it into the opponent's face, hoping to die.
After all, when a dynasty falls, someone must be buried. Deng Yunfeng was deeply favored by the emperor and was willing to be the person buried.
But unexpectedly, the King of Han didn't even mention the matter of persuading him to surrender, and just let him go. This made him a little lucky and a little uneasy, but another mood quickly overcame these two feelings, that is, he wanted to return as soon as possible.
Go to the capital and do your best for the city's defense.
The Han army was only preparing on the periphery and did not attack the city immediately. At this time, the walls of the capital were already in a battle-ready state. The nervous soldiers almost shot Deng Yunfeng to death thinking he was a Han army. Fortunately, the general guarding the city knew him as the general of Jiang Defense.
, sent someone to lower the hanging basket and pull it up.
The first thing the city guard Qian said when he saw Deng Yunfeng was: "Is Deng Junmen here to persuade you to surrender?" When he said this, his eyes were full of expectation.
Deng Yunfeng said coldly: "No, I escaped. I want to continue fighting to serve my emperor."
Everyone looked at him with a strange look, as if they were looking at some rare animal. After a long while, Mr. Qian said: "Okay, please help yourself, then."
Deng Yunfeng had no choice but to get out of the city and walk towards the palace.
At this time, the capital has fallen into a state of anarchy. The streets are full of mobs, looting everywhere, and Jing Zhaoyin's yamen are nowhere to be found. They are all locals. At this time, they have gone home to take care of their own children. The capital is patrolling.
Although the officers and soldiers of the battalion were present, they had already joined in the looting process.
There were fires, screams, and mobs and soldiers running around carrying silk, cloth and valuables. The once prosperous and orderly capital city was completely reduced to a city of the apocalypse. Deng Yunfeng walked in panic until he came to the vicinity of the inner city, where the security improved.
, a group of imperial guards discovered him and took him to the Meridian Gate.
Deng Yunfeng stood at the Meridian Gate for a long time, but he did not wait for the emperor's summons. Instead, a eunuch who came in a hurry left after saying one sentence: "The emperor ordered that Deng Yunfeng lose the river defense, and everyone in the house will be executed."
Deng Yunfeng was shocked and cried out: "You are wronged! I am wronged!"
The eunuch ignored him at all and ran away without even looking back.
The imperial guard guarding the Meridian Gate raised his hands and said: "Deng Junmen, I'm sorry. We also know that you were wronged. The Jiang defense has been lost. If it had been anyone else, you would have slipped away. You came here because you have the emperor and Dazhou in your heart."
But now that things are like this, don’t complain. You would have died early, but you can still go down and reunite with your family."
Deng Yunfeng said in astonishment: "Can it be said that my family members have..."
Yu Linjun said: "To tell you the truth, when you were still in the military post, the Jin Yiwei took control of your family members to prevent you people from rebelling. When the news of Jiang Fang's fall came, the Jin Yiwei took control of these men, women, old and children.
It all clicked.”
Deng Yunfeng was on the verge of crying but was filled with resentment. The emperor he was so loyal to turned out to be such a power-hungry villain. It was pity for him that he had to come to him to behead him.
It was too late to say anything at this time. Several imperial guards pushed Deng Yunfeng under the wall and were about to kill him. At the moment of life and death, Deng Yunfeng suddenly had an idea. The hand tied behind him took out the ingot rewarded by the King of Han from the waistband of his trousers.
The money for travel expenses was handed over high in the air.
This was a fifty-tael fine silk official ingot, of excellent quality. When the Imperial Guard saw the silver, he coughed dryly, exchanged glances with several of the men, stretched out his hand to take the silver, and swung his knife to pry open Deng Yunfeng's hand.
After tying the rope, he put on his shirt and sighed: "Deng Junmen, we respect you as a man. Let's go quickly."
Deng Yunfeng cupped his fists to express his thanks, and then asked with concern: "Aren't you afraid of letting the prisoners go without permission?"
The imperial guard said: "How long has it been since you fucked me? You still have an imperial concubine? The palace is as busy as my father. Who is going to take care of such a trivial matter?"
Deng Yunfeng thanked him again, quickly left the Meridian Gate, came to a quiet place, tore off his shirt and stamped hard: "Hunjun! You are not a human being!"
But after a second thought, he picked up the shirt, patted it clean, put it on, and walked towards the city gate.
…
Bad news came to the palace one by one. The Han army successfully crossed the river. All the Jiang defense forts that had been painstakingly managed for several months fell. Hundreds of thousands of troops dispersed. It is said that the Han army relied on a large number of ships from Huguang. So many ships were flowing down the river.
Come on, the capital didn't receive any report. This is really a huge dereliction of duty.
At this time, it was too late to investigate the officials along the Yangtze River. The emperor's imperial edict could not even leave the capital, and it was not very effective even in the capital. There was already chaos in the city, and even several orders to send troops to suppress it were ignored by the people below.
.
Fortunately, the army in the capital camp is being looked after by the supervisors sent by the Supervisor of Ceremonies, and it is still under control for a while. There is still a large amount of food and weapons in the capital, and the city walls are tall and thick. As long as they hold on for a while, they will wait for King Qin's troops to arrive.
When the inside is combined with the outside, the salted fish can be reborn.
The key is, wherever there is any King Qin's troops and horses, the whole world has been lost.
