One-third of the Zhenjiang city wall has collapsed. The most impressive thing at the moment is the northern city wall that was initially breached!
In the past few days, with the unremitting efforts of Wu Wei and all the soldiers and civilians, they relied on the simple wooden railings as cover to repair the broken city wall! Especially the truce last night created precious time for them to wait until dawn
At that time, the navy of the King of Han Dynasty, which was attacking the city, suddenly discovered that those unsightly wooden railings were gone and replaced by a brand new city wall!
The navy officers and soldiers could not imagine how the Prince's Army was able to rebuild this city wall in such a short time under their own overwhelming attack! But whether they believed it or not, the tall brick-green city wall was there, straddling their progress.
On the way!
"Attack the city!" Wei Hu, who commanded the navy, gave the order in pain...
The warships rang out cannons, and the cannonballs hit the city wall, blasting holes the size of watermelons. But it was impossible to destroy the city wall in a short time! Small boats carrying Han soldiers and soldiers swarmed towards the city wall.
Xiangshuimen was attacked violently by the defenders of the city with bricks and stones!
The soldiers of the Prince's Army did not need to prepare rolling stones and wood at all. This section of the city wall itself was a large construction site with bricks, stones and wood everywhere. Just throw them down as hard as you could! Many civilians also joined in and helped the Prince's Army throw bricks down.
stone!
Turning around, rocks fell like raindrops. The soldiers of the Han Dynasty were hit with bloody heads and could only huddle under their shields to avoid...
"With the city wall," Wu Wei's lieutenant general was overjoyed upon seeing this: "They won't be able to break through us for three to five days!"
Wu Wei nodded, but there was no hint of joy on his face, because he saw that the other three walls had been completely lost!
The soldiers of the Han army jumped on the top of the city and fought with the defenders. Although the defenders were not afraid of death, the Han army was so powerful that they swarmed up! There were more and more Han soldiers on the city wall, dividing the prince's army.
Compression has become a trend of encirclement and annihilation!
Fortunately, several key city gate towers are still in the hands of the Prince's Army. The soldiers can organize a defense line with their backs on the city gate towers to temporarily maintain the situation...
But everyone knows that this is just a trapped beast still fighting. I am afraid that few of the more than 20,000 Prince Army soldiers left will be able to see the sunset today...
Once the battle on the three city walls is over, how long can I hold on with my few thousand remaining soldiers?
Wu Wei knew very well that there was no miracle, and the destruction of the city and the death of people was a foregone conclusion! He couldn't help but cast his sights in the city, in the direction of Zhenfusi's prison...
The Zhenjiang Gate on the south side of the city wall is the main gate of Zhenjiang City. The two-story gate tower above the Zhenjiang Gate is tall and solid, with complete facilities. It is currently the place where the Prince's Army is most concentrated. Because His Royal Highness is here!
Of course, for the same reason, this place has also withstood the most horrific attacks!
There were shouts of "Capture Zhu Gaochi alive and make him a Marquis of Wanhu" everywhere. The officers and soldiers of the Han Dynasty were like frightened wasps, frantically attacking the city gate tower from both ends!
The officers and soldiers of the King of Han's army naturally resisted to the death, and they must not let the prince fall into the hands of the enemy while they were still alive!
Zhu Gaochi was dressed in military uniform, with a sword hanging from his waist and a golden helmet on his head. His fat face looked a bit ridiculous. But he stood there as steadily as a mountain, which gave the soldiers great encouragement! Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince could not say a word.
I didn’t say it, but at this time, he did not hide in the city, but went to the city in uniform, which had already shown to the soldiers his determination to live and die with the officers and soldiers!
Zhu Zhanjun was also dressed in silver armor and stood beside his father with a sullen face.
"Juner." Zhu Gaochi suddenly said warmly: "Are you afraid?"
"Don't be afraid!" Zhu Zhanchun's voice betrayed him. He was just a young man who had not experienced hardships. When he thought that his good years would end here, his heart was shrouded in great fear.
"Just say it if you're afraid. There's nothing to be ashamed of." Zhu Gaochi said with a smile: "When your grandpa Fengtian was in jail, I was the same age as you are now. I was so scared that I couldn't sleep all day and night." After a pause, he said: "Later, I was as old as you are now.
The city of Beijing...it was still called Peiping at that time, was surrounded by Li Jinglong's hundreds of thousands of troops. Your grandpa was thousands of miles away, and there were only more than 10,000 troops in the city. I couldn't count on anyone. At that time, "Dun Yi
Suddenly, His Highness the Crown Prince showed a look of nostalgia and said, "I'm not afraid anymore. Do you know why?"
"Why?" Zhu Zhankun asked.
"Because I can't take care of it," Zhu Gaochi said with a smile: "The whole city of Beijing is relying on me. I have to rack my brains to defend the city, so how can I worry about it?"
"That's it." Zhu Zhanquan nodded and listened to his father slowly say: "When I think about it afterwards, I realize that fear is something that people only bother themselves with, because no matter whether you are afraid or not, the result is doomed." As he said that, Zhu Gaochi said
He looked at his son with a smile and said softly: "In that case, why not be dignified and finish this last journey?"
Zhu Zhanquan nodded solemnly with a sullen face. Sure enough, there was no fear in his heart, only the pride of dying with his father!
At this time, the shouting of killing outside suddenly became quieter. Zhu Gaochi subconsciously looked outside and saw Zhu Gaoxu's burly figure on the chaotic battlefield at the head of the city!
Zhu Gaoxu also saw Zhu Gaochi on the city gate tower, his mouth raised high, showing a winner's smile!
What answered him was Zhu Gaochi's unyielding eyes!
Seeing Zhu Gaochi's expression, Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help but be startled. This was not the cowardly and cowardly elder brother in his impression! But as soon as he thought about it, King Han laughed again. This is the true face of this damn fat man! He usually looks like a coward,
Eighty percent of them are pretending to show their father, and 20% of them are pretending to show themselves.
Now that death is imminent, Zhu Gaoxu has nothing to pretend...
'Haha, I hope you will still have this expression when you kneel at my feet later.' Zhu Gaoxu stretched out his hand, pointed his halberd at Zhu Gaochi, sneered again and again, and then roared: "What are you doing standing still? Trample them!"
Seeing Zhu Gaoxu ascending to the top of the city, the officers and soldiers of the Han Dynasty were all shocked at first! After hearing the prince's roar, they woke up from a dream and launched an attack even more frantically! They did not regard themselves as human beings at all, and faced the soldiers of the Prince's Army.
The blade rushed forward! The spear penetrated their bodies, but they still rushed forward, hugging the opponent's soldier and dragging him to the ground! In the blink of an eye, the two people who fell on the ground were trampled to death by the rebel army!
One of the soldiers of the King of Han Dynasty was cut off by a knife, and the sword-holding hand was chopped off. They howled and rushed towards the enemy, opened their mouths wide, and bit them in one bite! The soldiers of the Prince's Army screamed and fell to the ground...
Even the soldiers of the Prince's Army, who had long put life and death at risk, could not withstand this crazy offensive. Seeing that the defense line was getting farther and farther back, they were about to retreat to the city gate tower...
"Good boy," the prince knew that there was not much time left. He looked at Zhu Zhanyu with a smile and whispered: "As a father, I will not be humiliated by your second uncle anymore." As he said this, he shook his sword and said,
He smiled faintly and said, "I will kill myself later. Don't stop me."
"Father," even Zhu Zhanyu was affected by this generous and tragic situation, and blurted out: "My child will accompany you on the road!"
"That won't work," the prince shook his head and said, "You have to collect the body for me."
"Father..." Zhu Zhanyu's tears finally burst down the embankment...
In the southwest corner of the city wall, Erhei, Hu Sandao and others were making their final resistance.
Right now, here are all the officers and soldiers of Beizhen Fusi. As for the ordinary soldiers, they have all died in battle...
Standing on the turret, looking at the enemy troops swarming at his feet, Erhei shot arrows downwards and smiled at the seriously injured Hu Sandao next to him: "Old Hu, you didn't expect us to die together, right?"
Half of Hu Sandao's body was covered in blood, and his face was pale with scars. Hearing this, he cursed: "Damn it, I'll die with you, and I won't die in peace."
"Hehe..." Erhei grinned: "That's not up to you."
"I'm talking about you, kid." Hu Sandao moved his body with difficulty and looked at the second wife: "You're a little unusual today!"
"What's wrong?" Erhei threw away the bow that had run out of arrows, bent down and picked up a stone the size of a watermelon, glanced at him, lifted the stone high, and threw it down the turret!
"You're so light and you don't have enough meat, I've never seen you so happy." Hu Sandao spat: "I'm about to burp, how happy are you?!"
"Hehe..." When Erhei bent down to hold the stone, he winked at Hu Sandao with a smile and said, "What do you think?"
"Why, is your mother-in-law looking good on you?" Hu Sandao really guessed it right away.
"Uh..." Erhei couldn't make him proud. He threw another stone, shook his head and said: "You underestimate me. At home, she is the only one who looks at my face. She will never dare to let her stand.
Sit down!"
As he said this, he went to hold the stone again, only to see Hu Sandao looking behind him, struggling to hold back his laughter.
Erhei's hair stood on end for a while, and he quickly looked back and saw Long Yao, dressed in black warrior uniform, standing behind him with a smile that was not a smile.
"Ah!" Erhei wanted to die, and explained with a smile on his face: "Madam, don't be angry, I'm just bragging..."
"Husband, there is no need to save face for me," Long Yao was uncharacteristically submissive and said, "Aren't you telling the truth?"
"Uh..." Erhei didn't know whether her words were true or not. He was stunned for a moment before he realized: "How did you get up here?!"
"Climbed up." When Long Yao said this, Erhei saw the steel claws on the wall behind her. He couldn't help but feel frightened and said angrily: "You are crazy! Do you know how dangerous it is? What if something happens to you?
manage?!"
Long Yao just smiled and looked at him without saying anything. Erhei pushed Long Yao and urged: "Get down quickly!"
Long Yao didn't expect that he would dare to push her, so she almost stumbled, and immediately became furious: "This is outrageous! You're kicking your nose and your face, and you're going to open a dyeing workshop if you give him the color!"
"Uh..." Erhei suddenly lost his arrogance and muttered in a low voice: "If you don't leave, it will be too late."
"I won't leave." Long Yao tilted her head and said stubbornly: "I thought about it again and again. Being a widow is too boring. If there is another child in my belly, I will not be able to survive this life!" As she said that, she raised her head.
At first, he looked at Erhei and said abruptly: "I'll die with you neatly!"
