Chapter 39 Liu Zeqing
The Qing army under the city suddenly broke out, and the endless "Qing Dynasty Ten Thousand Years" seemed to be a demonstration against the Ming army at the top of the city.
For a moment, Zhu Changzi seemed to hear "The Qin Dynasty is Ten Thousand Years".
Fang Guoan hurriedly lay on the battlements and looked around, and found a bunch of Qing generals in front of the opponent's formation.
After taking a closer look, one of them was honored by the stars, and he seemed to be of high status.
Zhang Guowei took a look and sighed: "It seems that Duduo has arrived."
Zhu Changzi came to the wall and saw Duduo looking at the top of the city.
The two of them seemed to have discovered each other. They were too far away to see their faces clearly, but they still felt each other's gaze.
"Jianguo, it's better to go back first. I'm afraid the Qing army will start to attack the city again." Zhang Guowei advised.
Zhu Changzi nodded, turned around and walked down the tower.
Li Bao happened to come back with the order, and ran up to Zhu Changzi out of breath, and said anxiously: "Jianguo, it's not good, Ren Tianan is dead!"
"What?" Zhu Changzi's face darkened, he hurriedly pressed Li Bao's shoulders and whispered: "Quickly bring Niu San to the palace for custody!"
"Slave, let's go now!" Before he could catch his breath, Li Bao hurriedly led several royal guards towards the prison of the Hangzhou government office.
Zhu Changzi thought for a while, got on his horse, and led the people towards Qingtai Gate.
......
Lu Ruoteng, who was discussing with several cabinet elders in the Mafu cabinet room, was having a fierce exchange with Ma Shiying.
"The supervision of the country has been decided, and it is imperative to clear Zhangtian!"
"This matter cannot be rushed!"
Watching the two people quarreling with each other, Gao Hongtu and Jiang Yueguang remained silent, and Huang Daozhou didn't say a word. Ma Shiying mentioned Zhang Juzheng that day, which suddenly touched the hearts of the three elders.
"Are you going to disobey the order of the Supervisor?" Lu Ruoteng asked angrily.
"The cabinet is already responsible for correcting mistakes, so why disobey it?" Ma Shiying asked with a frown.
Suddenly, Zhu Dadian trotted all the way and stood in a panic outside the door of the cabinet room, slapping his thighs and shouting: "My cabinet elders, Inspector Ren has been killed!"
Snap!
Zodiac Zhou, who was holding the teacup, shook his hand and the teacup fell to pieces.
Ma Shiying was shocked, got up and went out, took Zhu Dadian's arm and asked with eyes wide open: "Killed???"
"An arrow pierces the heart!" Zhu Dadian could no longer suppress his panic.
Suddenly, a gust of evil wind came, the sky suddenly changed, and the dark clouds seemed to have been ambush in advance, blocking the sky.
Several thunderbolts sounded in the head.
Ma Shiying trembled with fright, looked up at the dim sky, and coughed: "Rain... cough cough cough... is coming."
"Gentlemen, what should we do?" Zhu Dadian asked at a loss.
Jiang Yueguang was a little strange. Ren Tianan died, what are you, Zhu Dadian, afraid of?
A drop of rain fell on the tip of Zhu Dadian's nose, and then a light rain began to fall.
"Let's go and take a look first." Jiang Yueguang sighed heavily, feeling a little bored in his chest.
The servants fetched oil-paper umbrellas, waited for the adults to board the carriage, and rushed to the scene.
......
Under the Qingtai Gate, the five thousand palace guards have been assembled, and the queues are standing in front of and behind Wangjiang Gate.
Zhu Changzi was riding on a horse, inspecting all the way. The soldiers in front of him were all selected strong men, so they were all in high spirits and looked at the supervisor on the horse with reverence.
They have never seen such a vassal king, riding a tall horse, with a long sword on his waist, and his heroic appearance.
Just walking by silently, looking at the vivid faces, and the falling rain, reminded the First Emperor of his invincible Qin army.
"Report! Niu San has been taken to the palace for custody!"
"Report! The elders have gone to the murder scene in person."
Two royal guards came to report.
The rain is getting heavier and heavier, and there are countless splashes on the East Canal.
"Report~ The Qing army is rushing to attack in the rain. The northern city wall is in danger! Please send reinforcements from the prison country as soon as possible!" A Tangqi from the Fang camp came to ask for help. Just after Duduo inspected the front of the army, the Qing army seemed to be fighting.
As if they were full of blood, they scaled the city and attacked without mercy.
Zhang Guowei urgently mobilized Chen Hongfan's troops, but only Yang Tinglin came to support with two thousand troops.
Zhang Guowei, who had not seen Chen Hongfan, asked Yang Tinglin and then learned that Chen Hongfan had been transferred by Chief Assistant Ma Shiying and the Ministry of War Zhu Dadian.
Zhang Guowei was very angry, but the war situation was urgent, so he could only accuse Chen Hongfan after the war.
Although Fang Guoan led his troops to fight to the death at the top of the city, the Qing army seemed to be unable to kill them all. They kept breaking open gaps in all directions and climbed to the top of the city.
Yang Tinglin arrived in time and led his troops to put out fires everywhere at the top of the city.
However, the Ming army had mostly new recruits and low combat effectiveness. Although there were no deserters under Zhang Guowei's personal supervision, they faced a very difficult battle against the murderous and battle-hardened Qing army Liu Liangzuo's troops.
"Taiwan, look!" Fang Yuanke, who had been accompanying Zhang Guowei to protect Zhang Guowei, pointed at the city and shouted while fighting the remaining Qing troops at the top of the city.
Zhang Guowei took advantage of the situation and saw another large army coming from the city. It looked like Eight Banners soldiers.
"It must be Liu Zeqing's surrender! This damn traitor!" Fang Yuanke was sure to arrive.
Apparently, he was preparing to take over Liu Liangzuo's troops who had already stormed a stick of incense. Zhang Guowei looked haggard, knowing that the Qing army was preparing for a round-robin battle and wanted to destroy the morale and mentality of the defenders in one fell swoop.
He had no choice but to ask King Lu for help, because his royal guards were the only fresh force in the city now.
The Qing army came one after another, giving no chance for the Ming army to breathe at the top of the city.
Fang Guoan didn't know how many people he had killed, but he only felt that his arms were sore and swollen, and he was a little weak.
"Uncle..."
"Call the fucking Chief Soldier!"
"Yes! Commander, we have more than half of our casualties..."
Fang Yuanke hurriedly counted the casualties and reported to Fang Guoan.
Fang Guoan was leaning against the wall to relax. He looked left and right at the soldiers around him and couldn't help but laugh miserably: "Grandma, I didn't expect that our brothers didn't collapse today! In the past, the thieves suffered one-third casualties and collapsed."
."
When the many resting soldiers around heard the words of their commander, their faces covered with blood and water showed tired smiles.
Liu Shichang sat in front of the tower pillar, holding a young soldier in his arms, despite the heavy rain.
"Xiao Wu, Mr. Fang praised you."
......
Due to the heavy rain, the artillery of both armies was silenced.
As the Qing army's horn sounded, Liu Liangzuo's troops had been replaced, replaced by the former Ming Dynasty's commander-in-chief Liu Zeqing's troops.
Liu Zeqing has already shaved his head and is swaying his long braid to lecture his slaves.
"Give me a good beating. The masters are watching from behind! If anyone takes Fang Guoan's head, I will reward him with a thousand pieces of gold!"
"Master, don't worry, look at the performance of the slaves!"
Liu Zeqing nodded with satisfaction and waved his hand, and the Chinese army raised the flag of attack.
In an instant, the army surged up like an overwhelming mountain.
After the generals left, Liu Zeqing tilted his head with a smile on his face and asked the sharp-mouthed and monkey-cheeked master next to him: "How was it? Did I look like a master just now?"
"It's so similar! Hehehehe!" the master complimented.
