Chapter 455: The Kingdom of Heaven, the Land of Etiquette
The entire Shenglong Mansion was in chaos, but in Wang Xuan's opinion, it was indeed orderly within the chaos.
The entire battlefield is divided into three parts. The first is the four city gates. Seal the city gates, occupy the city walls, and completely surround the entire Shenglong Mansion. The second is the Grand Campus. Wang Xuan personally leads the team to massacre the Shenglong Mansion.
The biggest force, third, is the palace, which is the command center of the entire north of Annan. As long as it is completely captured, the remaining land will be nothing more than a piece of loose sand.
Of course, from Wang Xuan's perspective, everything was under control, but from the perspective of Annan's leader Zheng Zhu, the end was coming.
Damn it, if you sit in the palace, disaster will come from the sky.
I woke up from the alarm bell in the arms of a beautiful woman. I didn't even have time to put on my underwear. I threw on a coat and hurriedly walked out. When the night wind blew outside, I suddenly felt a cold feeling in my crotch, and I couldn't help but shiver.
Shivering.
Master Zheng's face was as gloomy as water. He looked at the commander of the Imperial Guards who had a compulsively calm look on his face and asked in a deep voice: "What's going on outside? Why are the alarm bells ringing? Where does this shout of killing come from?"
"Time is running out, and my subordinates don't know yet, so they've already sent people to inquire about it."
Although he was angry in his heart, he also knew that the other party was not to blame. Zheng Zhuqiang swallowed his anger and ordered: "Send someone to 'protect' the good emperor so that no accidents happen."
"Don't worry, sir. I understand, and everything will be absolutely fine."
At this moment, a soldier ran in in embarrassment and immediately knelt down on one knee to report, "Report, the northeast has been attacked, and all the soldiers guarding the city have been spared. The east gate has been lost, and the enemy has entered the city."
"What!"
"So fast!"
Lord Zheng and the commander stood up at the same time and exclaimed, "Is this person Ruan Ni?"
The soldier who reported the news hesitated for a moment, he was not sure.
"Say it!"
"No, it's not like Ruan Ni. The shouting sounds like he's from the Ming Dynasty."
"This is impossible!"
Master Zheng and the commander shouted at the same time again. Others don't know, but they can't understand that the Ming Dynasty is no longer a few decades ago. The entire southwest boundary has consumed a lot of national power just by fighting the Burmese for more than forty years.
They organize several plunders in Guangxi and Guangdong every year. All they see is that the Ming Dynasty would rather let things go. As long as they don't occupy the land, they turn a deaf ear.
Now, they suddenly heard that the night attack was actually the Ming army, and they naturally didn't believe it.
I don’t want to say it, but you insist on asking me to say it, and you don’t believe me after I say it, the Annan soldier cursed in his heart.
"Lying about military information, you should be executed!" the commander of the Imperial Guard shouted, and was about to draw his sword to kill, but Master Zheng stopped him, "Maybe the enemy did it deliberately, just to misunderstand us."
"So that's it. Your Majesty is wise." The commander immediately sheathed his sword and said with admiration.
A look of contentment appeared on Master Zheng's face, and then he suddenly remembered, shit, the city gate has been breached!?
"The enemy has entered the city? How many are there? Where are they now? Where are the troops in the camp? Have they ever attacked? How about the other three gates?" A series of questions were thrown out, and the soldier who reported the news was confused. I
How the hell do you know so much!
Seeing the confused expressions on the soldiers' faces, Lord Zheng was furious, "Why don't you go and take a look!"
The soldier ran out in a panic, and Master Zheng sat down. He was feeling anxious now. Why was the news delivered so slowly? Damn it, I was so anxious that I died!
"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry too much. The enemy only relied on an unexpected night attack to achieve success in one fell swoop. If they were able to cross the sea and arrive outside our Shenglong Mansion without being discovered, they must not have many troops, so we must be worried.
"
Master Zheng is right to think about it. If there was a large army, they would have been discovered long ago. How could they approach Shenglong Mansion quietly? Do you think all my men are dead!?
It must be broken down into parts, so there won’t be many people!
"Report!" shouted, and a messenger ran in again, knelt on the ground with a thud, and shouted loudly: "Report to the king, something serious has happened, the number of enemy troops is no less than 20,000!"
"Fart!" The commander of the imperial army suddenly jumped up from his seat, blushing and looking at the soldier who reported the message. Damn it, you were sent by the enemy to trouble me! Thinking of this, he quickly stepped forward and grabbed the order.
He picked up the soldier's collar and roared loudly: "How could there be so many enemy troops? Did they fall from the sky? How dare you lie about the military situation? You should be executed!"
After that, he pulled out the sword from his waist again, "Stop!" Master Zheng looked ugly and shouted again, "You are sure that the enemy's army is not less than 20,000!"
The messenger was not sure. He was only responsible for delivering the news, but at this moment, facing the murderous gaze of the commander of the imperial army, he would bite him to death no matter what. "I am sure, I am sure, the army has already entered the city."
Master Zheng's face was ashen, and he waved the messenger to go out. He said nothing and sat on the cloud couch to continue waiting for the news.
This scene made Tian Boguang and Ding Yiguliang on the roof nearby unable to hold back their laughter. They were not in a hurry to take action. Their task was to ensure that the people here did not run away. Wang Xuan would personally lead them when the time came.
Soldiers clean them up.
"Your Majesty, don't worry too much. Even if the enemy army really has 20,000 people, it won't matter. We have an army of more than 40,000 in Shenglong Mansion, just 20,000 people. This Shenglong Mansion is our army's territory, so we have the advantageous location.
, we are twice the number of the opponent, occupying the human and human resources. Once dawn, the enemy army loses the cover of night, loses the sense of mystery, and loses the weather. The favorable weather, location, and people are all in the hands of our army. How can the enemy army be different?
The reason for defeat!" The more the commander of the imperial army said, the more he felt it made sense. Later, his voice became louder and louder, with a rather aura of giving up to others.
Master Zheng didn't want to talk to him at first, but as he listened, he also felt that this was the truth, and his face gradually improved.
"Report!" A shout came from outside the door, and the commander of the Imperial Army trembled subconsciously, and a bad premonition came to his mind.
"Report to the king, the west gate has been breached!"
"What!?"
"Report!" Before Master Zheng could ask questions, a messenger came over again.
"Report to the king, the north gate has been breached!"
"Report, report to the king, the south gate has been breached!"
Master Zheng fell on the cloud couch, his eyes a little dull. What was going on? After a while, all four gates were captured. There were 20,000 people in the east gate alone. What about the other three gates?
In this case, can Shenglong Mansion be saved?
No, we must find a way, we must not sit still and wait for death!
After sitting there for a moment, Master Zheng suddenly stood up and was about to issue an order. At this moment, another voice sounded outside the door, "Report!"
This sound of 'reporting' was like 'announcement of mourning', and an aura of despair began to fill the hall.
"Report, the enemy troops raided the campus and started killing. The campus was ablaze."
"..."
There was silence in the main hall, including the ministers who came after them. They all looked desperate at this time. The city was broken, the army was defeated, and now the palace was still relatively safe, but this was not a long-term place at all.
It's only a matter of time before we can conquer it. Now, what should we do?
"Your Majesty!" The commander of the Forbidden Army stood up again, ignoring the anger in the eyes of the people around him. He also knew that he had some troubles, but it was not important. "Your Majesty, the right way is to keep the green mountains without worries.
There is no firewood, so this is not the time to fight head-on. Please go north to summon the king's troops from all over the country, and then attack from the north and south to destroy this enemy army."
What does it mean to rush north to rush to Qinwang's troops? Isn't it just running away? It's so high-sounding!
It's all because of you, the bastard, the broom star, who hasn't said a single word to me in such a long time!
Lord Zheng glared at the commander of the imperial army with anger in his eyes, "I think you are greedy for life and afraid of death!"
Being stared at by Lord Zheng, the commander shrank his neck, quickly knelt down on the ground and kowtowed, "I am loyal and devoted to the king. How can I be a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death?"
Looking at the commander who kept kowtowing, Lord Zheng took a deep breath. At this critical moment, people's hearts were already unstable, so he did not dare to push too hard, in case these people did something treasonous and unethical.
"Your Majesty." At this time, another person came out and said: "Although there are still 10,000 forbidden troops in the palace, the palace walls are low and the defense capabilities are insufficient. Moreover, the large army consumes a lot of money. Once they are surrounded by the army,
That would be like falling into despair, so please think twice, Lord."
"I also agree. The enemy troops are scattered now and have not yet been encircled by a large army. If we gather our troops in one place for a surprise attack, we will definitely be able to get out of the city. By then, the sky is high and the sea is vast, and we will not be controlled by others."
"Time is running out and opportunities are fleeting. Please think twice, Lord!"
Everyone is looking at Lord Zheng. Lord Zheng is struggling in his heart. To put it nicely, he wants to go north to summon King Qin’s troops, but he is not sure how many he can summon. The key is, he is not sure who the enemy is now.
!
"Please, Your Majesty, leave quickly, I will stay behind for Your Majesty to wean your queen!"
"Your Majesty, please leave quickly!"
For a while, such shouts were heard one after another.
Are you going to stop after I leave?
You will all surrender as soon as I leave!
When the time comes, I will become the polished commander, who the hell can still admit that I am Lord Zheng!
If you want to leave, you have to take these civil and military ministers with you. The reason why the superior is the superior depends on the power of the system, and the system cannot be formed by one person, it must be a collective. This is also when the emperor is escaping.
, all with the reasons of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs.
Running away together doesn't mean everyone is loyal.
"My dear friends, how could I abandon everyone and go away alone!"
Lord Zheng understood this fact if he continued to break up, and he would suffer chaos instead. At this moment, he did not hesitate, stood up and shouted to the commander of the imperial army: "Gather the soldiers and horses in the palace, and fight out together with me."
, fight to the death with the enemy!"
"My lord, take your orders!"
"Your Majesty is wise."
The commander of the imperial army strode out. It didn't take long before everything was ready. No one took the words of a decisive battle with the enemy seriously. After the army left the palace, they went straight towards the west gate.
As long as these people were still in the city, Tian Boguang would not stop them. Of course, he could not stop the tens of thousands of troops. As early as when they began to gather to prepare for retreat, he sent someone to send a message to Wang Xuan.
In the military camp, the killing has basically ended. Most of the 30,000 people were killed. Only a few thousand people fled from the camp to the city. Now is not the time to pursue. Wang Xuan began to assemble his troops as soon as he received the news.
Kill towards the palace.
At the same time, he also ordered that the other three directions must be guarded, and Master Zheng and his group must not be allowed to escape.
After all, the quality of Annan's soldiers was far behind that of Wang Xuan's. They had just come out of the imperial city, and before they could turn to the west, they met Wang Xuan's enemy.
Wang Xuan didn't bother to have any communication with them. Even if he wanted to communicate, it would be after the fight was over.
"Kill!" With a loud roar, the army formation began to march towards the front in order.
It is said that there is no problem in crushing. Even though they have just experienced a bloody massacre, the long-term training has made the soldiers of Wang Xuanjun very strong. At this moment, they can already maintain the formation. It is very important to maintain the formation during such a long march.
In encounters, there is no need to reorganize the team, and the combat power can be exerted faster and better.
On the other hand, Annan's side was running for their lives, and they had already decided that they were defeated. If the streets hadn't been so wide along the way from the palace, the formation would have broken up long ago. At this moment, the soldiers of both sides collided with each other to make a decision.
The pikemen stabbed their barrels neatly, and in an instant, the Annan soldiers in the first few rows lay down again. Then, a harsh whistling sound sounded, which was the sound of crossbows fired by the army. On the street, the Annan soldiers stood next to each other,
There was no need to aim at all, a hail of arrows covered them, and a large number of them were shot down immediately.
The shrill screams before death rang out in waves, one after another without stopping at all.
After the pikemen, there are sword and shield soldiers. In this kind of battlefield where the formation cannot be formed, the sword and shield soldiers are the most useful. They have a steel shield in one hand to protect themselves and a steel sword in the other to kill the enemy. The whole formation is like a black torrent hitting the rocks.
As usual, one wave after another, slowly and slowly, the Annan Army rock was shaken by the erosion, and then began to slowly retreat. The flood began to become unstoppable, completely washing away the opponent.
Only when Master Zheng and others heard the continuous screams did they know that a battle had begun. They all hoped to quickly kill the enemy troops, otherwise, they would be surrounded on the long street and it would be completely over!
The army began to stop slowly, and then slowly retreated. The further back, the more violent the retreat. When they heard the shouts of killing coming closer and closer, Lord Zheng and other big shots in the court had turned pale. No one could
Know that the situation is over.
What you need to break out of an siege is momentum. Once you are intercepted, there is no possibility of breaking out.
Everyone could hear the loud shouts of killing clearly, and they were indeed all accented by the Ming Dynasty. We could finally confirm that the enemy army was the Ming Dynasty army.
"It turned out to be the Ming Army, the Ming Army... Well, the Ming Dynasty is a kingdom of heaven and a state of etiquette. Our Li Dynasty is a country without conquests decided by the Ming Dynasty Taizu. There must be something that has misunderstood the kingdom of heaven.
That’s why today’s disaster happened.”
"Yes, yes, we should meet the envoy of the Ming Dynasty and state our sins face to face. As long as our attitude is sincere, we believe that the people in the heaven are benevolent, righteous, propriety, wise and trustworthy, and they will definitely treat us well."
"That makes sense, but we still need to ask the king to accompany us."
"Yes, your Majesty is me, Dali. No, I am the regent of Li Dynasty. Your Majesty will definitely receive you in accordance with the regulations."
"Please give your order, Your Majesty."
When a group of ministers saw that something was impossible to do, they immediately started talking about it. At this time, Lord Zheng's thoughts were no longer important compared with whether everyone could survive. Even if they surrendered, the weight of this group of them
It’s not enough. Master Zheng must take the lead.
Everyone's eyes were directed towards Master Zheng.
As for whether Master Zheng can survive after the surrender, it has nothing to do with them. At least he has not survived. At worst, if he thinks of giving Master Zheng a glass of water and wine during the holidays, it will not be in vain for the king and his ministers.
I believe that Master Zheng will never waste everyone’s awareness!
