Chapter 22: I am the enemy of the official army and a thief
"... We are officers and soldiers, and our enemies are thieves. The rebels are so arrogant and rebellious that heaven cannot tolerate them.
Those who have always been disobedient and traitorous have never seen the splendor and wealth of noble people..."
The Chu army rushed forward bravely, in order to defend the prison country, and even more so to defend the King of Jin. Their momentum was like a sharp sword penetrating the rainbow, and they were truly unstoppable. The rebels were mostly at both ends of the spectrum, and the military morale was also due to the Chu army's divergent attitude.
He rebelled against the edict and was greatly shaken. Faced with the fierce impact of the three walls, his position immediately became unstable.
The Chu Chuang knights waved their sabers and rushed forward. They did not attack the rebels' vital points, but first scattered the enemy team's front line, and then divided and surrounded them, with the main goal of capturing the rebels.
As the Chu soldiers attacked, they continued to sing:
"...the treasure of great fortune and good fortune has been respected as a soul by strong men since ancient times.
It's a pity that since the deer was hunted, the cold light blade has withered day by day.
Reborn again, how can we differentiate between the enemy and me today..."
Wu Ruyi was already shocked by the counter-rebel offensive. His eyes were red and his nerves were so tense that he was about to break! Things turned out to be beyond Mr. Tian’s expectation. Li Laiheng had been prepared for it. Wu Ruyi felt that all the energy in his body had been exhausted.
I have no time, and I can hardly even stand still.
He staggered twice and was supported by Dang Shousu, who kept him from falling.
Dang Shousu looked at the cavalry advancing like a city wall and said with a wry smile:
"...Sure enough, this is what happened. Mr. Tian underestimated Li Laiheng. He was fully prepared. Otherwise, how could he dare to risk staying in Kaifeng? The Art of War says that when you are strong, you show weakness; when you are brave, you show cowardice.
, this is what Qi Weng taught me, but why doesn’t he understand it himself?”
Wu Ruyi's ears were already filled with the roars of the counter-rebel troops, "The King of Qin is begging for thieves." He managed to grab Dang Shousu's clothes and asked as if asking for help: "What should we do... what should we do? What should we do?
what to do!"
Dang Shousu sighed, and he loosened his fingers that had been holding the sword tightly. The sword fell to the ground with a clang. Dang Shousu's personal guards looked at the coach's actions, and they also loosened their hands and put their weapons away.
Thrown to the ground.
Dang Shousu looked up to the sky and sighed: "The matter is over... it's over! Let's surrender and be captured without mercy, and we can still maintain the unity of the Dashun Army."
Wu Ruyi was shocked by Dang Shousu's words. His eyes were bloodshot as he looked at the platform, gate, and walls of Prince Jin's Mansion, and at the red cannons that guarded Prince Jin's Mansion.
He pointed at Prince Jin's Mansion and said: "No! We still have a chance! Now we have to attack with all our strength. As long as we kill Li Laiheng first, we will win!"
Dang Shousu also looked at Wu Ruyi. He looked indifferently at this old friend with whom he had been in love for more than ten years since the rebellion in northern Shaanxi. His eyes seemed as if he no longer recognized this old friend.
"We have lost. If we continue to fight, what will happen even if we kill Li Laiheng? Chu soldiers have been transferred back to Kaifeng, do you understand? Even if Li Laiheng is killed, Mr. Tian will not be able to control the situation in Kaifeng. The result will only be a huge disaster.
The split of Shunjun.
Stop struggling, we have already lost. Wu Ruyi, put down your weapons and surrender. In this way, we can at least avoid the further split of the Dashun Army... We made a mistake, we took the wrong path, and we should not continue to take the wrong path now.
Got it!"
"Absolutely arresting us? Are you crazy? Li Laiheng will not let us go!"
Wu Ruyi grabbed Dang Shousu's collar as if he was crazy, and cursed like a madman:
"Instead of being settled by Li Laiheng's wife, we should try our best again. As long as we kill one of Li Laiheng, we will win!"
Dang Shousu shook his head repeatedly. He was extremely disappointed with Wu Ruyi, no, and many other people: he was extremely disappointed with Tian Jianxiu, Niu Jinxing, and even Li Shuangxi, who was drifting with the crowd and had no independent political thoughts.
Under the sky, Dang Shousu was filled with emotion.
"The King of Jin is so clever, I really want to see if he can become the second Li Shimin in the world... I really want to see it!"
With a snap, Dang Shousu suddenly grabbed Wu Ruyi's right wrist and twisted it hard while Wu Ruyi was not prepared. Wu Ruyi's hand hurt, and as soon as he moved his fingers, the saber fell down.
Dang Shousu took advantage of the situation and kicked his saber away, used both arms to fold Wu Ruyi's arms behind his back, and then stepped on his back, controlling Wu Ruyi under his feet.
Wu Ruyi's soldiers around him were all shocked, but before they could step forward, Wu Ruyi wailed and was held hostage by Dang Shousu.
Dang Shousu looked at the rebel soldiers around him and said bitterly:
"Everyone, surrender. Put down your weapons. Prince Jin will not embarrass you... Tell all the brothers in the middle camp that I lied to everyone. There is no Hongmen Banquet in Prince Jin's palace. Tell them and let everyone surrender."
, don’t let the old brothers who break into the camp fight with each other again!”
The soldiers' noses felt sore, and they also knew that the current situation was extremely unfavorable to their own side. Even Wu Ruyi's soldiers put down their weapons after Dang Shousu's words.
This is what people want and is also the general trend.
Wu Ruyi looked at the scene in front of him, and his ears began to hear the sounds of the rebels dropping their weapons and surrendering one after another. He was tightly strangled by Dang Shousu and could not move, but hot tears fell down his cheeks.
.
"...It's over, we're all done...Dang Shousu, please kill me. I'd rather die in your hands than Li Laiheng's!"
Dang Shousu looked at the advancing queue of Chu Chuang's army, looked at the crumbling plaque of the Jin Prince's Mansion that had been attacked by the rebels, and murmured:
"Will the King of Jin go on a killing spree? What will he do? After we captured him without any help, most of the brothers in the Zhongying camp can be said to have been coerced by us... The brothers are not trying to murder the Jianguo and the King of Jin. They have nothing to do with it.
You know, it's just being used by a few of us."
Chu Chuang's army was rolling forward. Li Weiqun was the first to leap into the Jin Palace with three walls of fine cavalry. The crowd kept cheering fanatically. The soldiers saw that everything was fine with Jin Jin. Everything was fine.
It was within Li Laiheng’s expectation!
Although the few troops Tian Jianxiu and Niu Jinxing brought into the palace were more numerous than everyone else's personal guards, they were not large enough to defeat Li Laiheng in one fell swoop.
What's more, there are also red team members who have been trained in street fighting lurking in the palace. Under their protection, Li Laiheng's safety will not be a problem.
Tian Jianxiu overestimated his own strength. Yuan Zongdi had already fallen into Li Guo's camp. Zhang Nai was hesitant and failed to claim the decisive trump card as Tian Jianxiu and Niu Jinxing imagined.
The only fly in the ointment was that Yuan Zongdi was unfortunately injured in the arm by a rebel gun, but fortunately the injury was not serious and the problem was probably not serious.
The royal guards, maids with swords, and members of the red team surrounded King Jin. Li Laiheng looked solemn, and that solemn expression was the expression that people most often saw on Li Guo's face in the past.
The Chu soldiers finally invaded the Jin palace. When the soldiers saw that Li Laiheng was safe and sound, they immediately let out deafening cheers.
Niu Jinxing slumped on the ground trembling, repeating the same sentence over and over again: "We lost... we lost..."
Tian Jianxiu looked at Zhang Nai's helpless look and showed a look of disgust, Li Shuangxi, why are you so unsatisfactory!
Tian Jianxiu saw countless Chu soldiers pouring into the palace. He closed his eyes at first, thinking that he could just cut his own neck and finish it off, so that he would not be humiliated by the swordsman again.
But after thinking for a moment, Tian Jianxiu finally sighed and threw the weapon aside. He smiled at Li Guo and said:
"To make up for it, it seems we have all lost."
Li Weiqun led the powerful Gundam Grenadiers and aggressively captured Tian Jianxiu and others. Li Guo coughed at the end. Ma Chongxi, the deputy general behind him, saw that Li Guo's handkerchief was stained with blood again and couldn't help but reveal
The look of worry.
Li Guo replied:
"Yufeng, no one loses. I believe in Laiheng, and you should have believed in him. The future of Dashun Jiangshan and the hope of Dashun Sheji will all be shouldered by Laiheng."
When the rebel soldiers saw Tian Jianxiu being captured, Niu Jinxing surrendering, and Zhang Nai still in panic, everyone gave up resistance completely. Without any fighting, Li Weiqun took control of the palace.
situation, then Guo Junzhen also rushed in with his troops.
Kaifeng, the Jin Palace, all government granaries and armories, as well as the residences and families of all important generals of the Dashun Army are all under Li Laiheng's control.
Li Laiheng clapped his hands and said:
"Uncle Yufeng, don't worry, I won't kill innocent people indiscriminately. On the contrary, I won't even hurt any of my fellow soldiers in the Dashun Army. The matter is over, you lost, Gu won, that's all.
