Black helmets, black armor, and black and white flags blended into the black night.
At this time, the dock in Hangzhou was very quiet. Everyone had fallen asleep. The security on the dock was very lax. There were no soldiers on guard. Zuo Liangyu seemed to have never worried about being invaded from the waterway.
It's no wonder that China has been a big land country since ancient times. It has never paid attention to the vigilance of the sea. No one has ever thought that someone would invade from the sea. Therefore, no one would think of deploying troops at the dock. This kind of inertial thinking
It also led to the tragedy that destined the Zuo family and his son tonight.
Mo Hui stood calmly on the deck, quietly watching a sergeant in a black helmet marching to the shore in an orderly manner in Class A. Then he thought that starting from tonight, Hangzhou would be recovered in his own hands.
, his heart was filled with an emotion called excitement.
Although the recapture of Hangzhou is a matter for the army brothers, it does not hinder Mo Hui's pride. From the Qingzhou Navy to the present Great China Navy, Mo Hui has personally experienced every development one by one. It can be said that he
He devoted all his efforts to Dahua's maritime power, so he and Navy Commander Tu Hai were called Dahua's maritime duo.
"Ding-Deng-Deng"
A sound of footsteps came from behind, and a voice also sounded behind him: "Deputy Commander Mo, I am about to go ashore. After I recapture Hangzhou, I will invite you to get drunk again."
"haha okay!"
Mo Hui chuckled. He turned around and patted the person on the shoulder, laughing and saying, "Then I'll wait to drink General Cheng's celebration wine!"
The person who came was none other than Cheng Kai, commander of the Third Army. This young and promising commander of the Great Chinese Army was only twenty-eight years old this year, so he was often teased by Da Zhuang, Li Yuan and other colleagues about his age."
Being teased by this veteran general of the navy, Cheng Kai could only shake his head helplessly: "Okay, the time is coming, the general is about to set off, Vice Governor Mo, just wait for the good news from the general!
"
After saying that, Cheng Kai walked towards the plywood accompanied by several soldiers.
Since the dock was basically unguarded, Cheng Kai easily led his troops to occupy it. After an hour and a half, a legion of 20,000 troops had all landed ashore, and the defenders were still unaware.
This situation was not discovered by the defenders until Cheng Kai ordered the army to divide into three groups and advance towards the center of Hangzhou City. Unfortunately, there was no way to recover at this time. The 20,000-strong army had already launched an attack into the city with lightning speed.
, for a time the city of Hangzhou was filled with flames and the sound of murder was deafening.
"Dong dong dong"
A rapid knocking sounded outside Zuo Liangyu's door, waking Zuo Liangyu who was still sleeping.
"Who!"
Zuo Liangyu's dissatisfied voice sounded in the house. Zuo Liangyu spent half the night with a new concubine last night, and fell asleep until midnight. At this time, he was woken up, and he was really angry.
.
"Father, it's not good, the Chinese army has already entered the city, let's run away!" Zuo Yuqing's panicked voice sounded outside the house.
"What? How is this possible? Did they fly here from the sky?" Zuo Liangyu's furious voice sounded, and the door was quickly opened, revealing Zuo Liangyu's disheveled appearance, shock and anger.
face.
"It's the real father!"
After opening the door, Zuo Liangyu saw soldiers standing outside the house. Zuo Yuqing, who was fully clothed, stood in the middle of the first row with a frightened look on his face. His calm demeanor in the past had long been forgotten.
, seeing Zuo Liangyu, he immediately said impatiently: "Father, the Chinese army came by boat from the river. They took advantage of our army's unpreparedness and captured the pier. Then the army began to pour into the city from the pier.
We were caught off guard, and the tens of thousands of troops collapsed in an instant. Father, the city is in chaos now, please think of a solution quickly!"
"That's it! Lord Dahua actually came from the river, and we were all fooled by them! Dahua is indeed very cunning!"
Zuo Liangyu said through gritted teeth, showing an expression of sudden enlightenment. Now he finally understood why, although the shadows of the Dahua army appeared frequently outside Hangzhou these days, there was always peace on the other side of the river.
Emotions are all a trick Dahua uses to confuse himself.
The more Zuo Liangyu thought about it, the more he hated it, and finally he started yelling like a shrew.
Seeing Zuo Liangyu being so rude, Zuo Yuqing smiled bitterly and advised from the side: "Father, now is not the time to curse. Now that the Chinese army has entered the city, what should we do?"
After hearing his son's persuasion, Zuo Liangyu said impatiently: "Qing'er, what do you think we should do?"
Zuo Yuqing smiled bitterly and said: "Father, the city is in chaos right now. In addition, the Chinese army has already entered the army, so it is impossible to drive them away. Let's escape to Fujian and seek refuge with Zheng Zhilong and his son first.
Let’s look for another chance to make a comeback.”
Zuo Liangyu gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, just listen to Qing'er, we will leave immediately. Qing'er, please wait a moment, and we will set off immediately after putting on the armor for my father."
After saying that, Zuo Liangyu turned around in the house and immediately started to put on clothes. After a while, Zuo Liangyu put on his armor, opened the door again and walked out. He was about to set off with Zuo Yuqing, but unexpectedly, a figure rushed out from behind and held his hand.
Thigh cried: "Sir, what will you do if you leave me? Please be kind and take me with you!"
"damn you!"
Zuo Liangyu took a closer look and saw that it was his new concubine, but at this moment he couldn't care about her anymore.
In a rage, Zuo Liangyu kicked the concubine he loved most in the past, and took out the sword from his waist and stabbed her hard.
"ah"
The concubine screamed and fell to the ground dead. Her eyes were wide open, as if she couldn't believe that the master who loved her the most would actually kill her with his own hands.
Zuo Liangyu withdrew the sword, and without even bothering to wipe off the blood on the sword, sheathed the sword and asked sternly: "Qing'er, your elder brother, didn't he come with you?"
Zuo Yuqing shook his head: "Father, I don't know. My eldest brother has been spending most of his time in a brothel in the city these days. Because the incident happened suddenly, I don't know where he is at the moment."
"Hmph, Ignore this unsatisfactory guy. Let's leave the city right away!"
Zuo Liangyu was also an old man who had been fighting for half his life. After recovering from the initial panic, he returned to a decisive state of killing.
After a while, Zuo Liangyu and his son led a thousand soldiers in the mansion and rushed out to the south. Unexpectedly, they encountered a group of thousands of Chinese troops near the south gate, and were beaten by them with a round of firecrackers.
Come back.
In desperation, Zuo Liangyu and his son had to lead their troops to break out of the siege towards the west gate. However, before they reached the west gate, they heard the bad news that the west gate was also occupied by the Chinese army.
"Father, what should we do? The south and west have been occupied by the Chinese army, where else can we go?"
Zuo Yuqing's face turned pale. Among the four gates of Hangzhou City, the east gate faced the Yangtze River. That was the direction from which the Chinese army came. Needless to say, they were all densely packed with enemy troops. The north gate was in the direction of Suzhou. Before
Dahua's night has been showing up frequently. If I rush towards the north gate, wouldn't I be falling into a trap?
The more Zuo Yuqing thought about it, the more panicked he became. Although he usually had a deep mind, this kind of person was also the most afraid of death. Finally, with a hint of crying in his tone, he said, "Father, why don't we surrender to Dahua? Dahua must be
It won’t embarrass us.”
"Shut up!"
The furious Zuo Liangyu drank Zuo Yuqing. He glared at the son he valued most in the past, and cursed like you: "You idiot, you still think about surrendering Dahua. Think about it.
Considering the festival we have with Mr. Hong Chengchou, can he easily get around us? Tonight, if we can rush out, then so be it. If we can't, we will only die. Remember, you can't defeat Dahua even if you die!"
After saying that, Zuo Liangyu galloped forward on his horse.
In this way, Zuo Liangyu and his son led a thousand soldiers to kill left and right in the city until midnight, with fewer and fewer people around them. At the third watch, they were finally surrounded by the Dahua Army. And now
At that time, there were less than 300 troops left with them.
"It's over, we can't escape!"
Zuo Yuqing looked left and right, and found that there were enemies all around him. His body began to tremble uncontrollably, and a look of despair appeared in his eyes.
"People on the other side, listen, you have no way to escape. Quickly dismount and surrender, or you may avoid death!"
At this time, voices urging surrender came from outside.
"Father"
Zuo Yuqing couldn't help but look at Zuo Liangyu, but seeing Zuo Liangyu's livid face, he couldn't help but swallow his words of surrender and lowered his head.
Zuo Liangyu said with a gloomy face: "Qing'er, what did my father tell you just now? Can our Zuo family's holiday with Mr. Hong be solved with just the word "surrender"? You have to remember, even if it is
Even if we die, we cannot ruin the reputation of our Zuo family!"
After Zuo Liangyu finished speaking, he drew out his sword and shouted loudly: "The men of the Zuo family would rather die than surrender, kill them!"
After saying that, Zuo Liangyu rode forward to kill, followed by hundreds of remaining soldiers. These soldiers have a life-or-death relationship with the Zuo family, and they have always been loyal to the Zuo family. At this moment, they also
Without hesitation, he followed Zuo Liangyu to his death. Zuo Yuqing looked around, sighed, and drew out his sword and rushed over.
"Bang bang bang"
A burst of gunfire rang out, and a puff of green smoke enveloped the entire street.
After the gunshots, many corpses of horses and people lay strewn on the street, and streams of blood slowly flowed out from the street.
