Chapter 497
Not everyone is qualified to go to the King to "reward treasures".
The generals who can go to "reward treasures" are all of high rank, and they are all the commanders of the first battalion. There are always some deputy generals who stay in the army.
Wang Fuchen was one of the unqualified lieutenants.
When the loud noise and the shaking of the ground caused the soldiers in the army to flee in fear, as soon as he heard the explosion, Wang Fuchen immediately took out his Japanese sword and ran out, shouting at the same time:
"Everyone follow me!"
His soldiers followed him closely, drawing their swords and running out. As soon as they rushed out, when they saw soldiers fleeing, Wang Fuchen first chopped down one of them with his sword, and then shouted loudly.
"Quick, Sigouzi, bring the people over and ask everyone to stop. Anyone who dares to rush into the military camp will be killed without mercy!"
The most feared thing for generals throughout the ages is Ying Xiao. Maybe Wang Fuchen was not a general, but he had fought under the eight kings for so many years and knew how powerful Ying Xiao was. Although he still didn't know what happened, he still acted instinctively.
Maintain order in the camp. Once the camp roar occurs, you cannot maintain it even if you want to.
Under his command, more than two hundred soldiers were shouting.
"Kneel down all, kneel down to avoid death. Those who rush into the camp will be killed!"
While using swords and guns to cut down the running people to the ground, some officers and subordinates watched and shouted at the veterans who were shouting for the Prime Minister. Those who were holding guns and knives shouted. It took a long time to finally restore the chaos in the camp.
Got some order.
It took him almost half an hour to restore order in the camp. He immediately ordered the entire team to follow him into the city. As soon as he left the camp, he saw that the other camps were in chaos.
The people at the door fell to the ground, and the camp was in chaos. It was too late. Thousands of people were just killing each other in the camp. Some were chopped down in the melee, and some were still resisting desperately.
There were still many people who were red-eyed and came out to kill, and there was also chaos outside the camp.
Seeing this, Wang Fuchen waved his sword, rode on his horse and shouted loudly:
"follow me!"
After that, he took the lead and rushed into the middle of the insurgents, killing and slashing among the insurgents unstoppably. With great difficulty, he led more than 10,000 troops to fight out of the chaotic camp, and behind him, there were dozens of kilometers of
The camp was already in chaos. A large number of soldiers were either running away or killing each other. Looking at the chaotic camp, there was no color on Wang Fuchen's face, but he immediately spoke loudly.
"Let's go into the city! Protect the king!"
After saying that, he led more than 10,000 troops straight to Yuezhou City. If there were people blocking the road along the way, he would immediately lead his troops to rush over. As soon as he entered the city, he would immediately order people to go up the city wall to close the city gate, and then go straight to the palace.
, finally arrived at the palace.
The tragic scene in front of him shocked him. Looking at the palace that was razed to the ground, he grabbed a person in horror and asked.
"What, what's going on?"
"General, I don't even know this, but it suddenly exploded and half of the city was gone..."
"That's right, it's because Zhang Thief has done too many evil things, God sent thunder to take him away..."
If it had been normal, Wang Fuchen would have killed him with a single blow, but now he couldn't care less about other people's nonsense.
what to do?
"General, general, run away quickly, the officers and soldiers are coming, they have occupied the pier!"
At this moment, a civil servant ran over and shouted in panic to Wang Fuzhu.
At this moment, some defeated soldiers fled from the direction of the dock. When he heard that there was an attack from the army, Wang Fuchen clamped his legs under the horse's belly and said loudly.
"Let's go to Yueyang Gate!"
Before the people here arrived at the dock, they heard a warship approaching on the river. Wang Fuchen ordered his men to seal the city gate and use stones to block it inside. At the same time, he led his soldiers to climb up the city wall first. He stood at Yueyang Gate and headed towards the city.
Looking outside, my dear, this fleet is really quite large, with hundreds of large ships.
Yueyang Gate is the west gate of Yueyang. Because it is close to Dongting Lake, it has become the only waterway in and out of Yueyang City. The geographical location is dangerous, and merchants gather in peacetime, making it very lively. In wartime, it was a battleground for military strategists, and it was also occupied by Li Mingsi and others.
Although the enemies on the city wall were condescending, they were not in a hurry. After all, their own large troops had already arrived.
As soon as the fleet arrived at Yueyang City, Zhu Guoqiang ordered his people to shout:
"The imperial army has arrived. Those of you who are following the thieves and causing trouble, if you surrender the city, you will be spared the death penalty!"
The reason why they were persuaded to surrender was because the "inner guards" in the city had already spread the news that the puppet prince's palace had been razed to the ground!
I don’t know whether Zhang Xianzhong is alive or dead!
Wang Fuchen, who hurriedly came to the city wall, was dumbfounded. How could these officers and soldiers come so quickly? He had to put on his armor before he came. He stood at the gate of Yueyang City, looked at the mighty fleet on the lake, and shouted loudly
.
"Who is coming!"
"Show the flag!"
Zhu Guoqiang gave the order.
The flag has two sides, one is "General Pinglu of the Ming Dynasty" and the other is "Zhu".
Of course Wang Fuchen didn't have a telescope, but at such a close place, he didn't need it at all to see the words above clearly.
Not to mention him, even illiterate people can clearly see the character Douda on it. Those who don't know "General Pinglu of the Ming Dynasty" can always recognize "Zhu", after all, that is the national surname of the Ming Dynasty.
"Zhu!"
When everyone saw it, they were all shocked. Many of them had heard that the emperor had sent the "General Pinglu". Who was the "General Pinglu"? He could bring down the thunder from the sky and destroy the Tatars.
God!
The civil servant who went upstairs with Wang Fuchen was an official appointed by Zhang Xianzhong when he was in Wuchang. In fact, he was a scholar named Liu who had failed to pass the examination for more than ten years. Although he was awarded an official, he was not willing to become a thief. After all,
For scholars, their hearts are still inclined to the imperial court. In fact, becoming a thief is not only to find a way out, but also to find a way out for the family.
Liu Xiucai also escaped because he was not of a high level to reward treasures.
He took a closer look and was shocked.
"General, hurry up and surrender the city. This is the general who defeated the prisoners!"
"Yes, yes, General, this thunder is so strange. General Pinglu, was it the one who caused the thunder to burn down the city of Jinan and destroy the Tatar prince?"
Suddenly, the people on the city wall panicked. They were panicked and clearly scared. Some even raised their heads and looked up at the sky.
Liu Xiucai said: "Who else could be there besides him?"
Wang Fuchen said in panic:
"How did he get here so quickly?"
Liu Xiucai said:
"Oh, my General Wang, when he went on an expedition to Liaodong, he returned to Nanjing from Liaodong, and tens of thousands of troops arrived in a blink of an eye. General, are you better than the Eastern captives? Or are we more powerful than the Tatar soldiers?"
Wang Fuchen couldn't help feeling weak, and shouted at the top of his voice:
"Is this the general Pinglu who is coming?"
Zhu Guoqiang smiled.
"If you don't change your name in office, or your surname in office, it is none other than Zhu Ciying, my virtuous prince! Hurry up to the city to welcome Master Wang, and I will protect you from death!"
Liu Xiucai asked quickly:
"If a villain is forced to become a thief, he may not be able to keep his reputation?"
For scholars, what is most important? Of course, fame.
Zhu Guoqiang replied:
"If you haven't done any evil, what's the point of protecting your reputation? As for this surrendered general, he can be exempted from the death penalty, but he cannot escape the living penalty. He must make great contributions to the court to offset the merits and demerits!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Fuchen immediately became angry and said:
"Death penalty can be avoided, but living crime cannot be avoided. So if I surrender, wouldn't I be seeking death?"
Liu Xiucai quickly advised:
"General, don't worry. Do you think about what kind of person General Pinglu is? He is a man who has won every battle without losing a single victory. That's why he speaks so toughly. Otherwise, he can just fool us and trick us into opening the city gate.
Yes, we can kill if we want, and chop if we want. Now he says that death penalty can be avoided, but living crime cannot be escaped. In fact, it is not easy for him to capture Yueyang City. It is nothing more than causing another thunder. Now let's say this.
He just didn’t intend to lie to us. If he said he would forget about it, would you believe it?"
"Of course I don't believe it. We are committing a serious crime of rebellion. Moreover, we followed the king and surrendered once before. Now we surrender again. How could the court easily believe us?"
Wang Fuchen said.
Liu Xiucai said:
"That's it, that's why I said that the general didn't intend to lie to us."
