Chapter 453: Rush across the suspension bridge, fight in, and kill the red thief! (1st update)
"Reinforcements, where are the reinforcements? The officers and soldiers are begging to attack the city, general..."
"Didn't we see the officers and soldiers begging to attack the city?"
At this moment, as more and more torches came into view from the east, the young men in the city who were armed with weapons and bows and arrows and were forced to guard the city were already panicking.
Zhu Fang, on the other hand, angrily led a group of men and horses, patrolling back and forth at the top of the city, shouting loudly and suppressing the young men who were ready to make a move.
"Keep him steady. No matter what he is panicking about, keep him steady. Anyone who dares to take a step back will be killed!"
At this moment, a young man with a red face threw away the weapon in his leg and kowtowed to Zhu Fang who walked up to him.
"General, they can't defend themselves. General, please let them live..."
As soon as these words came out, many young men imitated Zhu Fang and bowed down to her.
Zhu Fang saw more and more young men looking over there, and saw more people throwing away the weapons in their legs.
"I dare to disturb the morale of the army! I will kill me."
Desperation, embarrassment and anger finally made him unable to control himself. With a cry, he pulled out his long knife and tried to strike eastward.
From nowhere, an arrow flew over and hit Zhu Fang's iron helmet. There was a crisp sound of gold and iron, making Zhu Fang stagger.
The soldiers around Zhu Fang were immediately stunned, and immediately drew their swords and slashed around. In the chaos, someone at the top of the city shouted loudly.
"If you want to survive, let him kill the red thieves and open the city gate..."
Along with the noise, the young men who had been away from Zhu Fang's soldiers waving their swords began to fight back.
The spears were very weak when they were first thrust out.
Following the screams and wailings of those Zhu family rebels, they showed great resistance, and only a few or a dozen spears pierced their bodies.
Because of timidity, fear, and no hope, those young men and women who lived in the shadow of the Zhu family and their minions were finally inspired to take courage.
Frantically, he stabbed at the Zhu family elites who were struggling to resist, and they began to retreat.
And because a large number of troops were mobilized, at this moment, the guard general Zhu Fang had been stabbed to death on the spot. He lost his command and did not have enough troops to suppress the external rebellion that began to surge.
Soon the sound of fighting at the top of the city had already resounded throughout the city and east of the city.
"Let the east suspension bridge open, open the city gate, let the officers and soldiers come in and kill the Zhu family's lackeys..."
Accompanied by the excited roars and roars, the suspension bridge that was originally hanging high in the air crashed to the ground.
Commander Deng, who was directing his soldiers to form formations and preparing for a massive attack, had many officers and soldiers.
Everyone looked at the swaying fire at the top of the city in astonishment, and saw the city gate being slowly pushed open behind the suspension bridge that had been smashed to the east.
"Beat the drums, attack with the whole army!" Gao Zhang, who had been watching the situation at the west gate of Suzhou City in the east of the city, shouted the order immediately.
Commander Deng did not hesitate to pull out the long sword at his waist and pointed it diagonally forward.
"Crush across the suspension bridge, fight in, and kill the red thieves!"
#####
Thousands of officers and soldiers shouted excitedly, roared, and began to run towards the city gate.
Gao Zhang stood in the camp outside the west gate of Suzhou, looking at the noisy Suzhou city.
He let out a breath of relief and unclenched his two fists, which were already covered with sweat.
"It's done..." Gao Zhang couldn't help laughing loudly at this moment, laughing so arrogantly and wantonly that all the officials around him looked sideways at him.
And Yang Douzhi, who had also become radiant and energetic, went forward to congratulate Gao Zhang.
At this moment, Suzhou City has been invaded by the imperial army, so the countdown to the destruction of Zhu's bandit army has begun.
I want to know that in the past, rebellions that occurred in the Song Dynasty and shocked the whole country often required the court to spend huge amounts of money and food, and mobilize a large number of elite border troops before they could be suppressed.
As for the little Zhuang Yuan Gong in front of him, he relied on the state soldiers and rural soldiers from several states, including the three thousand cavalry who rushed to help from Bianliang, Tokyo.
The rebellion that spread to several states in the south of the Yangtze River had already caused the Zhu family rebels to suffer heavy losses in such a short period of time.
Now it seems that even Suzhou, their base of rebellion, is about to be recovered.
Such feats made the aura of the twelve-year-old child prodigy become even more dazzling.
As the chief officer of the Imperial City Department, I have worked conscientiously all the way and helped the wrong side. I think that after returning to Bianliang, Tokyo, my weight in the eyes of the officials will definitely be higher.
As for Gao Zhang’s future, it is anything but bright...
Especially when Yang Duzhi recalled that month, when Gao Zhang was in the cabin admiring the scroll given to him by the official.
The scene in the painting in which the emperor dressed as an immortal mistakenly gives instructions to Gao Zhang standing next to him is still vivid in his mind.
Fang Baihua, who was dressed as a man and showed off his heroic appearance, looked at Gao Zhang, who was laughing happily not far ahead.
I can't help but feel my heart pounding, my cheeks are flushed, and my eyes are full of stars.
The Song Dynasty has been in existence for more than a hundred years, and there have been countless heroes and talents. Who can compare with the young man who was named on the gold medal at the age of eleven and put down the rebellion in Jiangnan at the age of twelve?

The turmoil outside Suzhou City swept through the entire Suzhou City in less than two sticks of incense as the west gate was opened.
Especially when the elite who were loyal to Zhu Meng were mobilized too much, the young men with weapons in their legs burst out with unprecedented courage.
The entire Suzhou city defense was already in chaos, and at this moment, the Zhu family rebels rushing out from the west gate were naturally aware of the noise and chaos coming from all directions.
And that chaos naturally caused the Zhu rebels who had left Suzhou City to start a commotion.
And when the first person disobeys orders and runs wildly into the dark night, there will be a second, ten, a hundred...
As more and more Zhu family rebel soldiers began to lose morale, their military morale began to falter.
Liu Fa, who had already quietly led his army to lurk outside the west gate, could not let go of such an excellent opportunity. The imperial cavalry also took advantage of the situation and rushed out at this moment.
This immediately caused the Zhu family's rebels, who were struggling to restrain their troops, to fall into chaos.
Zhu Meng, the great king of the Wu Kingdom, did not hesitate to lie down on his horse, hit the horse and headed straight to the east, with dozens of close friends and relatives behind him...
The chaos outside the east gate caused the two major camps in the north and south to promptly mobilize some troops and horses and start heading towards the east gate.
When the morning light appeared, the flags of the Wu Kingdom that originally stood high on the city wall of Suzhou had long since disappeared, and were replaced by the flags of the Song Dynasty flying high...
