Chapter 205: The Fortress Is Hard to Break, the Holy Cult Takes Action
On the first day of the siege, Wuchang City was stable and motionless.
Zhang Xianzhong has been on the battlefield for more than ten years. To be able to survive to this day and stand in this position, naturally not everyone can take two bites of buns.
He knew that he would not be able to leave after burying the Jiulong Town Golden Pagoda underground to absorb the dragon veins, at least he would not be able to leave until the Jiulong Town Golden Pagoda did not absorb enough dragon veins.
Therefore, he had prepared enough food and grass, and had tens of thousands of strong soldiers. He was determined to fight to the death until he had absorbed at least 400 dragon veins and was at least as equal as Chongzhen before leaving.
As Zhang Xianzhong absorbed and possessed a hundred dragon veins in his body, Zhang Xianzhong's appeal increased several times. Relying on the appeal given by the dragon vein infusion, Zhang Xianzhong was sure to make all his soldiers fight to the death.
Therefore, it is definitely not that easy to defeat him with one blow.
Zuo Liangyu did not use all his strength to attack fiercely. The attacks on the first day were more of a test for both sides.
But it was different the next day. Zhang Xianzhong could afford it, but Zuo Liangyu couldn't afford it.
Maybe the imperial edict to remove him from office is on the way. If he delays for one day, heinous charges will be waiting for him. To be honest, he didn't expect Zhang Xianzhong to completely activate the dragon vein-sucking power of Jiulong Town Golden Pagoda so quickly.
, I didn’t expect Tianzhi to be defeated so quickly, otherwise he would risk his life to attack Wuchang City, at least he wouldn’t end up in such a passive position. Chongzhen’s original urgent letter from Eight Hundred Miles instructing him should be kept in mind.
'This battle is about the Ming Dynasty, the well-being of the people, and my life and fortune. You must take back the Kowloon Town Golden Pagoda at all costs, and you must kill Zhang Xianzhong. This is my country, the well-being of all people, and me.
Zuo Liangyu, who had always had an iron mind, was moved by Chongzhen and decided to take back the Jiulong Town Golden Pagoda and kill Zhang Xianzhong's dog head even if he died.
It was Chongzhen's heavy words that made Zuo Liangyu dare not act rashly when he was not sure. He did not expect to end up in this situation.
So starting from the next day, Zuo Liangyu began to attack regardless of casualties. However, Wuchang is a fortified city after all. Zuo Liangyu attacked for a day, but the city still stood firm!
On the third day of the siege, Zuo Liangyu's troops suffered heavy losses!
On the fourth day of the siege, Zuo Liangyu was defeated miserably!
On the fifth day of the siege, Zuo Liangyu was defeated miserably!
Day six, armistice!
Zuo Liangyu did not expect such a situation at all, nor did he expect that the losses in his siege would be so great. In five days, he had tens of thousands of soldiers filling the walls of Wuchang City, turning it into a puddle of mud.
.
But Wuchang City still looks immovable and indestructible. And the most important thing is that the bandits, who are obviously a ragtag group of people, are now extremely morale, and there is no trace of the anxiety of being trapped in the city.
If these bandits were not anxious, Zuo Liangyu would be. He had now received the exact news from the capital. Chongzhen was furious for no apparent reason, and an imperial edict summoning him to the capital was on the way.
No one in the capital knew why Chongzhen was so angry, so the person who sent the letter said it was inexplicable, but Zhang Xianzhong knew the reason very well!
Zhang Xianzhong has sent people to block the road a little, dig the river to make the road difficult, and give the eunuch some more silver, but it will only delay him for two days at most. Calculating the time, maybe the eunuch will wait for about six days
It will be delivered to him within a short period of time. If he has not achieved anything before then, he will probably have to wait to be stabbed when he returns to the capital.
Just when Zuo Liangyu was in a panic, a sudden change occurred between the sky and the earth. The originally clear sky suddenly turned dark, then strong winds, lightning and thunder, and heavy rain suddenly came, and the entire world was instantly plunged into mud.
Zuo Liangyu's camp was like a small boat in the sea of ink, torn apart by the violent wind and heavy rain, and was about to be overturned at any time.
Zuo Liangyu was shocked and quickly opened the tent. Immediately, a strong wind and rain rolled towards him. Zuo Liangyu's martial arts cultivation was considered quite advanced. Although the wind was strong, it could not shake him. However, his
My body was instantly wet from the shower.
Zuo Liangyu stepped out of the camp and saw that the sky and the earth were pitch black. With his eyesight, he could not see how such a change could occur in the world.
Seeing that the strong wind and rain continued, his soldiers in the camp were about to be blown away. At this moment, a holy light descended from the sky. Behind this holy light, there was a pair of giant wings, and then from the holy light,
He stretched out a huge palm and swiped it towards Zuo Liangyu's military camp, and heard a strange sound: "In the name of God, the wind and rain will stop before this camp."
The sound was a rumbling sound, like thunder rolling from the sky.
As he finished speaking, the wind and rain that hit Zuo Liangyu stopped in an instant, and then a gap suddenly opened in the dark sky, and golden sunlight shone down from it, covering all of Zuo Liangyu's tents.
Shrouded in the sun, there is not a trace of wind or rain in the place where the sun shines, as if it has become a different world from the Wuchang City where the wind is roaring and the rain is pouring.
All the soldiers who were frightened by the changes in the world were in a trance for a moment, and they all worshiped the giant hand in the sky. Then the giant hand pointed at Wuchang City, "In the name of God, use this shower to
Come and wash away the dirt of sinners.”
As the sound fell, all the sudden rain, violent winds, huge thunder and lightning were all concentrated in Wuchang City, as if there was a big hole in the sky and the Milky Way poured down.
It rains heavily in Wuchang City.
"Your Majesty, it's not good. This heavy rain is falling suddenly and won't stop for a moment. Now it's up to the knees. The low-lying areas in the city can already be up to the top of the head. If it continues like this, our city of Wuchang will be flooded.
"A general waded into the water and came to Zhang Xianzhong and said in a panic.
Zhang Xianzhong was now wearing a golden dragon robe and a flat crown on his head. Although he used the title of king, he was full of emperor's style in this outfit.
At this time, Zhang Xianzhong was standing on the edge of the big pit of the Kowloon Town Golden Pagoda. The Kowloon Town Golden Pagoda was in the big pit. The heavy rain had poured all the water around it into the big pit. The ditch was originally dug in the big pit.
All the slaves were submerged in the water at this time, and only a few were still struggling in the water, but they were drowned in a matter of seconds.
The Kowloon Town Golden Pagoda seemed to have reached a critical moment at this time, and all the corpses in the water were sucked into the tower. In Zhang Xianzhong's eyes, there were several bright red lights emitting from the Kowloon Town Golden Pagoda.
Zhang Xianzhong raised his head, looked at the huge palm in the sky, frowned and asked, "What is this?"
Following Zhang Xianzhong's question, the general was stunned for a moment. He looked up and immediately saw the giant hand. His legs trembled uncontrollably and he almost fell to the ground.
Behind Zhang Xianzhong, a bird-shaped monster suddenly appeared. This monster had sparse feathers and a bare head. It had three big blood-red eyes, a beak full of sharp teeth, and was surrounded by demonic energy.
It's awe-inspiring and extremely ugly.
The strange bird stretched out its long neck, took the frightened general in its mouth, chewed it twice and swallowed it whole.
"Delicious, ah, delicious! I haven't tasted such delicious food in hundreds of years, chirp, chirp, chirp..." The strange bird was so happy that it opened its big mouth full of sharp teeth and laughed endlessly.
Zhang Xianzhong frowned slightly, a black shadow flashed behind him, and a ghost hand from the underworld suddenly appeared in front of the strange bird. He punched the strange bird hard in the chest, sending the strange bird flying backwards.
He fell to the ground, and all the demonic energy all over his body was blown away. The flesh and blood of the general who had just been chewed and swallowed in his belly was spat out by this punch.
Zhang Xianzhong said solemnly: "If you eat one of my people again, I will crush your beak even if you are the emperor of the underworld!"
The strange bird rolled in pain, and after chirping a few times, it stood up unsteadily. The sparse black feathers of this strange bird were all transformed into demonic energy. At this time, the demonic energy was blasted away by a punch from the ghost hand of the underworld.
It immediately became naked and extremely ridiculous. The strange bird swayed, and countless demonic energy came out of it, turning into sparse feathers again. Looking at the broken flesh and blood in front of him, he drooled, but now he did not dare
Then go pick it up and chew it.
"I ask you, what is that thing in the sky? Do you want me to ask you again?" Zhang Xianzhong had an impatient look on his face.
The strange bird looked at the sky after hearing this, and then said: "This doesn't seem to be a person from the Middle Earth. It may be a barbarian method from the west. It's strange. How dare this thing dare to cause trouble in the Middle Earth? Tsk, tsk, it's strange, there is no such thing.
Will the great power of Middle-earth come out to deal with this little brat?"
Zhang Xianzhong raised his eyebrows and said, "Is this a figure from the Holy Cult?"
The strange bird flapped its wings and flew up, spinning a few times in the air. Then it nodded its head and shouted in a noisy voice: "It can't be wrong, it can't be wrong, it's just those things."
This strange bird circled for several weeks and landed in front of Zhang Xianzhong, shouting: "If it were them, there would be no surprise. It must be that little guy from Chongzhen who has converted to the so-called holy religion. In this way, with the permission of the real dragon, it is equivalent to
With the protection of all the people in the world and the power of blessing, this holy religion can legitimately enter the Central Plains and no longer need to be subject to the restrictions set by the powerful powers in the Central Plains."
Zhang Xianzhong frowned and said: "Is the so-called God of this holy religion powerful? How is it compared to the emperor of the underworld?"
The strange bird seemed to have heard something very funny, and laughed loudly: "You compare the barbarian religion with our Emperor of the Underworld? Jiji, it really made me laugh to death. The Emperor of the Underworld was born five thousand years ago.
, single-handedly created the world of the underworld, and the so-called God of the barbarian religion is just a group of spiritual consciousness that was born three thousand years ago. After touching a little bit of the power of the world, he swaggered around and opened a dojo. How can he compare with us, the emperor of the underworld?"
Zhang Xianzhong felt a little relieved after hearing this, and then looked at the big hand and said: "If this big hand is allowed to continue to make clouds and rain, won't my city of Wuchang be turned into a sea and tens of thousands of soldiers drowned alive? You can't
