Chapter five hundred and ninety seventh: The winner
"Master Marquis, it's better to wait a little longer. The battlefield is dangerous!" Gu Baichuan did not agree and advised Zhong Jin to defend himself.
If Zhong Jinwei entered the city too early and was injured by a cold arrow or something, it would really be an injustice.
"What are you afraid of? If you have bad luck, you will choke to death even if you drink water." Zhong Jinwei is the target of protection every time he is on the battlefield. He cannot visit the front line in person, so he always feels that something is missing.
"This..." Gu Baichuan still didn't want Zhong Jinwei to enter the city. He could reduce the risk as much as possible.
Zhong Jinwei had no choice but to point to the arrow tower on the city gate and said: "Forget it, let's just go there to see the situation on the battlefield. Is that okay?"
Gu Baichuan looked up and saw that there were no prisoners there, and the new troops had pushed forward a long distance on the city walls on both sides. There should be no danger.
Even so, Gu Baichuan still ordered Wang Peng first: "You go there first."
Wang Peng received the order and happily agreed. He immediately ordered a few servants, clamped his horse's belly, and rushed out with a "whoosh" to build the puppet capital.
Zhong Jinwei controlled the speed of his horse and walked slowly. He pointed at Wang Peng's back and said: "Look, he took the first step, look at his cheerfulness!"
Everyone around them laughed when they heard this. They set foot on Jianlu's puppet capital like a winner. Except for the fourth child, who didn't feel anything special, everyone else was very eager.
Think about it, since the Jianlu rebelled against the Ming Dynasty, the Ming army outside the pass has been suppressed and attacked by the Jianlu. It has always been the Jianlu who attacked the Ming army, let alone the counterattack of the Xian army. The only few counterattacks,
The whole army was annihilated, and eventually a large area of land was lost.
In the past, the military and civilians of the Ming Dynasty were overjoyed, not only by being able to enter the puppet capital of Jianlu as victors, but also by recovering a town that Jianlu paid the least attention to.
One example is Mao Wenlong. Because he made a sneak attack on Pi Island and captured several of the most peripheral towns in succession, he was granted the title of Commander-in-Chief. This shows how rare victories are against the captives.
Gu Baichuan was a little worried. It was safe along the way. Zhong Jinwei arrived at the city gate in no time.
Here, he found that there were various tools for reinforcing the city gate, mud bags, gate-blocking knives, etc. around it. These are actually things that many military towns will prepare, and anyone who has fought in a war will basically know it. It’s just that
Before Jianlu could use it, the new army had already rushed into the city.
Zhong Jinwei came to the arrow tower, took a telescope and began to observe the entire battlefield.
The first thing he paid attention to was the north gate of Shenyang City. He saw that it was controlled by the New Army, and a flow of people was pouring in from outside the city.
In that flow of people, there was only a group of cavalry at the top, and the "Lu" flag was not in it.
Zhong Jinwei knew that Lu Xiangsheng should have gone to the east gate according to his previous estimate. Because according to common sense, if the west gate was breached, the captives in the city would escape through the east gate.
In order to test this idea, he set his sights on Shenyang City.
On several main streets, the New Army soldiers were advancing with overwhelming force. For the time being, they could not take care of the houses on both sides. After all, the number of New Army soldiers was a bit small.
The bright yellow building in the distance is Jianlu's palace, and Jianlu is resisting to the death, and the new army is temporarily blocked from outside.
However, Zhong Jinwei could tell at a glance that Jianlu was struggling to his death and would be able to jump up and down in a few minutes.
On the east gate side, there were a lot of people streaming out, but it was a bit far away. Even with a telescope, I couldn't see who they were.
Zhong Jinwei didn't really care about escaping anyone, as long as he captured Shenyang City. Unless Huang Taiji was in the city, he would only care about catching him.
Even if Daishan lets him run away, he will not be able to resist the responsibility of losing the pseudo-capital. The consequences waiting for him are easy to foresee. In fact, even if Daishan is replaced by Huang Taiji, he cannot resist this responsibility.
The Jianlu, who felt like they were at the height of their power, were suddenly taken away from the capital by the Ming army, which they had always looked down upon. Their old nest, their glass hearts were still shattered, could they accept the leader who lost the city?
Zhong Jinwei watched and thought, and was still gloating about his misfortune. Even if Huang Taiji wasn't here, what happened this time would be enough for him to drink.
The Han people from Liaodong who entered from the north gate made up for the shortcomings of the Ming army and began to rush into various houses to search for the captives. At the same time, they accidentally rescued the tied Han people.
Seriously speaking, these Han people in the city actually consider themselves thieves. Some of them may have done a lot of things that are unworthy of the Han people.
But before, they were all bound by Daishan's order, which suddenly made them realize that they were Han Chinese after all.
Now that the Ming army has entered the city, it is natural that these people can no longer contribute to their previous masters. But when the Han people outside the city saw them being tied up and were greeted by Han Chinese, they naturally treated them as companions and rescued them. We killed the captives together for revenge.
As a result, more and more Han people were moving around Shenyang City. When one person entered a house, four or five would often come out.
As a guide, Tang Daxuan was also watching the situation in the city beside Zhong Jinwei. Suddenly he thought of something, knelt down and asked Zhong Jinwei: "Master Hou, the common people have something to ask of me."
When Zhong Jinwei heard this, he put down his telescope, looked at him curiously and said, "What's the matter?"
"Houhou, Cao Min's companion, was making cannons for Jian Lu. He had given up all hope and had to do it as a last resort. He also did not tell Jian Lu, so that Brother Gu and I could successfully rob Fan. Therefore, Cao Min wanted to go Find him to prevent him from having an accident." After Tang Daxuan finished speaking, he kowtowed.
This request really surprised Zhong Jinwei. He cast cannons for the Jianlu and killed the Ming army in turn, which made him feel a little hiccup.
But Zhong Jinwei thought again, if it hadn't been for that person, I'm afraid there wouldn't have been the invasion of Shenyang today. Speaking of which, it can be considered a meritorious service.
At this time, Zhong Jinwei was in a good mood. When he saw Tang Daxuan, who had raised his head after kowtowing, looking at him expectantly, he smiled and said to him: "You are kind and righteous, I appreciate you."
Then he turned to Li Laosi and said: "Go and call a group of soldiers to protect Tang Daxuan and find his companions."
Tang Daxuan only asked Zhong Jinwei to help him, but he was not sure at all. After all, Wang Tianxiang's matter was a bit special. He cast cannons for Jianlu. This was an important weapon for the military and state. To be serious, it was a very serious matter.
Unexpectedly, Marquis Zhongxing agreed to this request and let Wang Tianxiang go because he admired him. He was immediately overjoyed and kowtowed while thanking him.
No matter how they parted ways due to different paths, the friendship is still there. It can be said that both he and Gu Mancang owe him a life.
When Tang Daxuan happily led a group of new army soldiers to Jianlu's cannon foundry, he did not expect that Daishan regarded the forgers as treasures. As soon as the city fell, his first order was to slaughter those forgers.
, preventing them from serving the Ming army again.
Of course, Daishan didn't know that Zhong Jinwei didn't take the old-style gunsmith seriously at all.
