Li Zhenshan reacted here and urged his frightened imperial guards to try to use crossbows to kill Han Bao and others, but Han Bao's reaction was not slow.
Although the soldiers were all stunned by the terrifying power of the Thunderous Thunder, Han Bao was mentally prepared, so he was the one who came to his senses the fastest.
Almost instinctively, Han Bao grabbed a thunderbolt, lit it, and threw it towards Li Zhenshan and others. In the blink of an eye, he threw out several thunderbolts.
"What are you doing here in a daze? Why don't you join me in the explosion!"
As he spoke, a rumbling sound was heard, and the thunderbolts thrown by Han Bao exploded one after another, killing more than a dozen imperial guards. Originally, he had just reacted to Li Zhenshan's shout and was about to use force.
Many of the imperial guards who shot Han Bao and others with their crossbows were in panic.
Some people simply threw away their crossbows and lay on the ground trembling, while others pulled the trigger of their crossbows in a panic and shot the people next to them.
In short, the crossbow team of hundreds of people suddenly fell into chaos. Especially at this time, under Han Bao's shouts, the soldiers who reacted excitedly lit the thunder and threw it out.
In the blink of an eye, the dozens of sky-shattering thunders brought to the city wall were thrown away, while Li Zhenshan and other imperial guards were directly destroyed.
The hundreds of imperial guardsmen who originally numbered no longer looked as heroic and proud as before. Each and every one of them was bombed in a miserable manner.
At least more than half of the soldiers were killed, and almost all the rest were injured. There were not even more than ten people who were truly intact.
Li Zhenshan's luck was not bad, but even so, his face was still scratched by the patch, with blood flowing, and he looked quite embarrassed.
After a while, dozens of soldiers climbed up the city wall along the ladder. Han Bao roared loudly, waved the long sword in his hand and said: "Soldiers, follow me to kill!"
When Han Bao used the Thunderbolt to blast the Imperial Guards here, there were also roars from more than a dozen places in the distance.
At this time, at least hundreds of thunderbolts exploded, but it stunned the rebels on the city wall. They never thought that such a ball could be so powerful. They watched the ball flying over.
I couldn't help being so frightened that I ran away.
In just a short while, more than a dozen wide no-man's lands were cleared on the city wall, but the nearby rebel soldiers were scared away.
A steady stream of imperial troops climbed onto the city wall, hundreds or even thousands. In the end, at least thousands of imperial troops appeared on the city wall and even suppressed the rebels.
Just when Han Bao used the thunder to blast the Imperial Guards, he was watching the battle from a distance, and was about to watch Li Zhenshan lead the Imperial Guards to show off their skills and eliminate the imperial soldiers and horses, when there was a thunder-like explosion.
King Ning, Li Shishi, Liu Yangzheng and others were all dumbfounded.
The original smile on Prince Ning's face froze directly on his face, and his eyes were full of disbelief. As for the other civil and military ministers, their faces were dull.
"My Imperial Guards... This is impossible, an illusion, it must be an illusion..."
King Ning didn't want to believe what he saw. It was because King Ning had great hopes for the Imperial Guards. In King Ning's heart, the Imperial Guards were his last support.
Especially when the imperial guards came out earlier, they could be said to have wiped out the imperial army that had stormed the city wall cleanly. The ease with which it made King Ning feel that as long as the imperial guards were there, Nanjing would be in trouble.
The city was as stable as Mount Tai, and the imperial army could not even think of attacking Nanjing.
But this feeling did not last long. It took more than an hour. When the imperial army attacked the city wall again, King Ning originally wanted to continue watching the imperial guards slaughter the imperial army.
As a result, the imperial army actually massacred the imperial guards under his command, especially when the thunderous explosions came from the sky. It can be said that every roar made Prince Ning's heart tremble.
Because every roar means that at least several Imperial Guard soldiers were killed. Prince Ning looked at the Imperial Guard soldiers who were engulfed in gunpowder smoke and howling incessantly, and his heart seemed to be bleeding.
"I am so angry that I am an eunuch, so I will return my Imperial Guards..."
King Ning cursed angrily. Liu Yangzheng, Li Shishi and others came to their senses. They saw King Ning jumping up and cursing, and their faces turned pale.
Especially when you see the roar coming from the city wall in the distance and the smoke that spreads, and then you look at the city guards running around with their heads in their hands, and then you look at the continuous stream of imperial troops climbing up the city wall from under the city wall, even if
Even a fool can realize after seeing this scene that the city of Nanjing may not be able to be defended.
Li Shishi gritted his teeth and said to several generals: "I'm afraid Nanjing City cannot be defended. Generals, quickly reorganize the army, and we will escort His Majesty out of Nanjing City."
Those generals have long since lost their backbone. They are all the confidants of King Ning. Even if they defect to the imperial court, they will probably be dragged out and beheaded by the imperial court. Therefore, it is not a big deal for them to see that the city of Nanjing is not safe.
He didn't have the idea of killing King Ning to receive merit.
At this moment, when they heard Li Shishi's words, they all reacted, stepped forward to lift Prince Ning up, and left.
Prince Ning struggled and said angrily: "What do you want to do? Let me go. I want to live and die with the city of Nanjing. Let me go..."
Li Shishi advised King Ning: "Your Majesty, if you keep the green hills, don't worry about not having firewood for burning!"
In this way, King Ning struggled and was dragged away by several generals. A group of elite guards directly escorted King Ning and a dozen important civil and military officials away.
There was chaos on the city wall, and someone shouted: "Oh no, your majesty has escaped, your majesty has escaped!"
The rebels were already in a state of disarray, but now they learned that King Ning had escaped. This was a great relief. All the rebels had no intention of resisting, and either knelt down and surrendered, or dropped their weapons.
, turned around and ran away.
The city of Nanjing is so big, these soldiers lost their weapons, took off their military uniforms, and instantly became ordinary people in Nanjing city.
More and more imperial troops climbed onto the city wall, and then chased and killed the fleeing soldiers into Nanjing.
After the soldiers who originally guarded the gate of Nanjing City learned that the city wall had been lost and the imperial army had entered Nanjing City, they abandoned the city gate and fled one by one.
When the imperial army arrived at the city gate, they did not see a single rebel soldier.
With a creaking sound, the city gate opened, and the army that had been waiting outside the city wall rushed into the city of Nanjing.
Chu Yi, Fang Li, Qi Hu and others who were watching the battle from a distance couldn't help but smile a little when they saw this.
Fang Li said to Chu Yi: "Congratulations to the Chief Manager, the city of Nanjing is destroyed!"
Chu Yi nodded calmly and said: "The destruction of Nanjing is expected, the key is what to do after the city is destroyed!"
Fang Li suddenly looked awe-inspiring when he heard this. The city of Nanjing was captured by King Ning. There were countless dignitaries in the city. The gentry chose to attach themselves to King Ning. Now that King Ning was defeated, the city of Nanjing returned to the hands of the imperial court. For those officials who had joined King Ning
How to deal with it naturally depends on Chu Yi's thoughts.
Based on Fang Li's understanding of Chu Yi, Fang Li looked at Nanjing City and vaguely felt that the sky above Nanjing City was filled with blood.
In the city of Nanjing, those gentry and powerful people who chose to join Prince Ning were not having a hard time at all.
Before King Ning raised his army, many of them flirted with him. After King Ning raised his army, these people were even more excited and even tried every means to support him.
Nanjing City was captured by King Ning because of the defeat of these people. It can be said that without these people as King Ning's internal support, with Wei Guogong's arrangements, it really would not be a problem to defend Nanjing City.
But with the existence of these people, the city of Nanjing fell into the hands of King Ning without even holding on for a day. It can be said that it was extremely rare for King Ning to win the city of Nanjing.
When King Ning ascended the throne, it can be said that the powerful gentry in Nanjing who chose to support King Ning cheered for them.
Prince Ning was not stingy with these people. He showered them with generous rewards and wealth.
Unfortunately, this time did not last long. Not long after, Chu Yi led an army to appear at the gate of Nanjing. In one battle, Li Zhen's tens of thousands of troops were destroyed. Then Wang Shouren broke through Nanchang City, went down to Jiujiang, and plundered Anqing. The two imperial armies converged with
Outside Nanjing.
At this time, these dignitaries and gentry had just woken up from a dream. The Prince Ning they supported and hoped for did not seem to be as powerful as they imagined. Facing the imperial army's counter-rebellion army, he did not have much power to resist.
The city of Nanjing was besieged, and these dignitaries and gentry were living like years. Many of them secretly sent letters to Chu Yi, crying bitterly, saying that they were forced by King Ning. They were in Cao's camp and their hearts were in Han.
He was loyal to the Ming Dynasty and was willing to act as an internal correspondent, opening the gates of Nanjing to welcome the imperial army into the city to put down the rebellion.
It's a pity that Chu Yi didn't respond to them at all, which made the hearts of many powerful people and gentry sink. However, quite a few powerful people and gentry thought that Chu Yi might kill some people, but it was absolutely impossible to kill all of them.
Kill them. After all, the huge Jiangnan still needs people to help manage it. The city of Nanjing cannot be separated from them. At worst, they will grit their teeth and bleed and donate part of their wealth. As long as they can survive the current difficulties, won't they be able to make a comeback easily in the future?
The former Minister of Rites of Nanjing City is now Liu Zhu, the Minister of Rites of King Ning, and the former Minister of the Ministry of War is now the Minister of War. Xiang Ping, a dozen officials, are hearing the sounds of chaos in the city, and all of them look a little ugly.
Liu Zhu stroked his beard and glanced at everyone and said: "Everyone, King Ning has been defeated. Chu Yi will enter the city at any time. I have decided to go to greet the chief manager. Are you willing to go with me?"
