The sound of cannons was loud, and shells were flying everywhere! The soldiers of the Han army who besieged the west corner tower were killed in pieces, and the rest were all lying on the ground, not daring to move.
The turret has walls on all sides and a roof on top, so of course it is not afraid of shelling. When Erhei and Long Yao heard the sound of the cannons, they looked out of the window in shock and couldn't help but gasp. Erhei exclaimed: "What a big ship!"
Long Yao took one look and stopped caring. She just lay in Erhei's arms, motionless...
On the northern city wall, the musketeers were holding their guns steady, but suddenly the place was shaken and shells were flying! Everyone was swaying around, and the muzzle of the gun had long been pointed at nowhere! The bullets flew out randomly, but not only did they not hit
Wu was three, but he hit many friendly troops by mistake!
Wu Wei and the others were stunned when they suddenly discovered that the originally clear sky was suddenly blocked. But it was still bright elsewhere!
The three people turned around in shock and saw a sky-covering giant ship appearing outside the city wall. The giant ship was so tall that even the sun was blocked by it...
"Reinforcements have arrived!"
The prince's sword was already placed on his neck. He was heartbroken and was about to wipe his neck! He heard shouts from outside!
Immediately afterwards, Zhu Zhanqi rushed in like the wind and shouted: "Stop! The reinforcements are here!"
Zhu Gaochi shook his hand, and the sharp sword cut his neck. Fortunately, His Highness the Prince's neck was thick, so it was not serious.
Zhu Zhanquan hurriedly grabbed his father's sword and said with a look of crazy joy: "Father! The reinforcements have arrived! We are saved!"
The fat on Zhu Gaochi's face trembled for a while, thinking to himself, if you come in a little late, you won't be able to see your father. After calming down, he asked in a trembling voice: "How is it possible? Where are the reinforcements coming from?!" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was very surprised.
It is clear that there is no army in the Ming Dynasty that will come to save him!
"It's Zheng He's treasure ship!" Zhu Zhanquan followed his father to send Zheng He's voyage to the West a few years ago. He was very impressed by those huge ships that covered the sky and the sun. His excited voice changed the tone:
"The fleet that sailed to the Western Ocean is back!"
"Oh?" Zhu Gaochi couldn't believe it. Although Zheng He should have returned at about this time, it couldn't be such a coincidence! And even if it was such a coincidence, he wouldn't fire without asking what happened! "Hurry up and help me out to take a look!"
"okay!"
Zhu Gaochi, with the support of Zhu Zhankun, trembled to the Zhenjiang Tower and looked at the river in the distance - as expected, he saw a forest of rafts and oars on the river, white sails covering the sun, and more than 200 ships of various sizes appeared.
Battleship!
These warships are so huge that even the smallest ones are several times larger than the mighty ships of the Han Dynasty!
The largest warships are actually 40 to 50 feet long and five stories high, with the appearance of reaching the sky like clouds! The flags on the ships are like clouds, and there are dense crowds of people. The dense shells are probably fired from these giant ships.
Squirting!
In front of this terrifying fleet, the Han Dynasty fleet, which terrified the Prince's army, looked like some small sampans, completely in the sky and on the earth!
"This is Zheng He's treasure ship?!" Looking at this terrifying fleet that crushed everything, Wu Wei was extremely shocked and said: "The three treasure eunuchs are back!"
"Haha, not bad!" Wynn looked at it and laughed: "Now it's interesting!"
"What did I mean?" Doctor Wu smiled faintly and said pretentiously: "Never say it's impossible." Then he looked at the giant ship flying the Ming Dynasty dragon flag and the "Zheng" handsome flag and said: "No.
The possible happened!”
As soon as this fleet appeared, the Han Dynasty's army, which was originally in high spirits because of the imminent victory, suddenly fell to the bottom!
This legendary fleet that is invincible in the world represents the strongest military capability of the current generation. It not only has super powerful warships! The warships also carry 20,000 of the strongest elite troops! They can easily destroy a small country!
The sudden appearance of such an absolute force was a devastating blow to morale! All the officers and soldiers of the Han Dynasty were unstoppably depressed!
The most frustrated person was of course the King of Han. Not only was he afraid of this fleet, he was even more afraid of the behavior of this fleet! They actually participated in the war directly!
Zhu Gaoxu stood on the city wall he had just captured, with no trace of his lofty sentiments. He only felt cold all over his body and had no strength at all... His mind was filled with Ji Gang's words from last night.
"My lord, what should I do?" Even Li Maofang, who had always been arrogant, had lost his fighting spirit.
‘Yes, what should we do?’ Zhu Gaoxu sighed sadly and glanced at the cheering prince army. He couldn’t even say a harsh word.
At this time, a group of cavalry disembarked from the ship and galloped to the city wall. Seeing Zhenjiang City with corpses everywhere and the stench filling the sky, even those Zheng He's soldiers who had made several voyages to the West almost vomited because their minds had been tempered at sea.
come out.
'Is this still the territory of the Ming Dynasty? They are actually killing each other to such an extent!' The Baihu who led the team became angrier and angrier as they thought about it. Finally, they used all their strength and roared at the officers and soldiers of the two armies above and below the city: "By order of the eunuch Sanbao! All of you!"
We must call off our troops immediately and return to camp, otherwise our army will put down the rebellion immediately!"
The domineering voice spread throughout the city, and everyone's eyes turned to King Han. Only he had the final say whether this battle would be fought or not.
Looking at the densely packed gun muzzles of Zheng He's fleet and more and more cavalry coming ashore, the King of Han sighed. He turned his attention to Zhenjiang Tower again... Before Zheng He's fleet appeared, he probably still had a few seconds to go.
The city gate tower was captured. But he knew very well that when Zheng He's fleet appeared, he had no hope because his morale had been hit to the bottom...
At this time, the King of Han saw Zhu Gaochi's figure and even saw the red scar on his neck.
Obviously, he had forced Zhu Gaochi to the point of wiping his neck, but he was just one step away from death? His Highness, who never believed in fate, finally looked up at the sky and sighed desolately: "Is this what it is?"
Destiny?!'
"Withdraw troops..." In an instant, Zhu Gaoxu lost all fighting spirit and gave the order in frustration.
The soldiers of the King of Han army withdrew from the city like an ebbing tide. On the way back to the camp, no one spoke, and everyone was extremely depressed... Some who thought more had already realized the tragic ending that awaited them, so they turned and fled in the other direction.
This blatant desertion was ignored by the officers, so more and more people slipped away. By the time they returned to the camp, a full 20% of them had gone!
The remaining people were also gloomy, and even cried in fear. The end of the world hung over the Han Dynasty army camp...
A group of Zheng He's cavalry rushed into the military camp without anyone stopping them... In fact, from the moment the King of Han ordered the withdrawal, the soul of the Han King's army died. People without souls are just zombies; an army without souls is just a bunch of people.
mob!
The group of people arrived in front of the Chinese military tent before being stopped by Zhu Gaoxu's guards. "What are you doing!"
"My commander-in-chief invites His Highness the King of Han to board the ship for a brief talk!" Zheng He's men always called him general, not father-in-law.
"Understood, we will report it." The guard responded, but saw that the cavalry did not move. "Why don't you leave?"
"I don't dare to go back." Zheng He's men said expressionlessly: "We can't return to life unless we invite the prince."
"You!" the guard was furious: "How dare you force my prince to do this?!"
"Okay." The King of Han's voice sounded, and the guards hurriedly stepped aside. They saw Zhu Gaoxu taking off his military uniform and not wearing the king's robe. He only wore a navy blue warrior uniform and stepped out of the king's tent. These days
The personal guards following the King of Han were horrified to find that their prince seemed to have aged more than ten years...
"This king is going to see Eunuch Zheng." Zhu Gaoxu looked at the stunned guards and said slowly: "Hurry and prepare your horses."
On top of Zhenjiang City, there was a feeling of joy for surviving the disaster. When everyone thought that they were dead and had made preparations to die, they suddenly came back from the desperate situation. That kind of huge joy and luck was nothing else.
Incomparable.
Erhei hugged Long Yao tightly and murmured: "I don't want to be a soldier anymore, I want to retire, and I want to have children with you..."
Long Yao had such a strong character, and after experiencing this life and death, she came to the same view as Er Hei. She buried her head in his arms and said: "It's better to die than to live..."
Erhei lowered his head, closed his eyes and kissed Long Yao's little mouth.
Long Yao was already emotional, and just as she was about to tiptoe to greet him, she saw Hu Sandao smiling obscenely.
She was so embarrassed that she turned away, pinched Erhei, and broke away.
Erhei felt lost, and Long Yao whispered in his ear: "Continue tonight." After saying that, Long Yao's face was on fire, and he ran down the city like a rabbit.
Looking at her back, Erhei scratched his head and laughed.
"Hey, what are you talking about?" Hu Sandao asked curiously.
"It's your fault!" Erbai Bai glanced at him, bent down to help Hu Sandao up, and walked down the turret: "Aren't you seriously injured? Why do you talk so much?"
"What do you know, I am distracting you!" Hu Sandao let Erhei be reminded, and he groaned in pain: "Ouch, ouch...".
On the east city wall, a military doctor was bandaging Xue Huan's wounds. The boy had more than a dozen wounds all over his body and was wrapped into rice dumplings. However, he did not forget to ask Xu Huaiqing: "What on earth are you going to tell me?"
"Well," Xu Huaiqing laughed and laughed: "It's a good day today!" Since he can't die, of course he can't tell the truth to this kid, otherwise Xue Er will beat himself to death.
"Crazy." Seeing him blinking, Xue Huan cursed and lost interest. He was still more interested in another thing: "By the way, when will we go to Tingyun Tower again? I will definitely be able to do it faster this time."
A little bit!"
"Isn't Tingyun Tower a brothel?" Mo Wen came over and said with a smile, "What's faster?"
"No, it's nothing..." Xue Huan was still too young in this regard, and he suddenly became a big red face.
"Don't ask, don't ask!" Xu Huaiqing hurriedly pulled Mo Wen away. Although it was destined to be a gangster, the secret would be revealed sooner or later.
