Chapter 634: The Son of Heaven’s God Shoots King Ning’s Assassination!
Nanchang Mansion is not a nine-sided front line, but the city is still extremely strong. As the capital of Jiangxi, during its heyday under the Southern Song Dynasty, the entire Nanchang Mansion was more than thirty miles in radius, with city walls one and a half feet high and sixteen gates in total.
In the Ming Dynasty, after the war, during the Hongwu period, Zhu Wenzheng ordered to rebuild the city wall. Although the gates were reduced from sixteen to seven, the city wall was two feet and nine feet high, two feet thick and one foot deep.
The Hao is from Desheng Gate to Guangrun Gate, eleven feet wide and one foot and five feet deep, with a protective wall of more than 10,000 meters running through the entire city.
Therefore, even though Hue Gate is not the strongest in the section from Desheng Gate to Huimin Gate. It is said that each brick of the wall weighs more than 20 kilograms, but the defense alone is still impregnable. However, now it faces
But it was the double pressure from the city and outside the city, so many of the officials from the capital and the chief department standing at the top of the city had weak feet. Especially the three chief officials, the left and right chief envoys and the chief commander, had ashen faces.
The appearance of a pustule naturally makes it look ominous in the eyes of everyone.
However, Zhu Houzhao, who was standing by the arrow stack on the city wall and looking at the Nanchang vanguard camp not far away, looked as usual. Thinking that when Xu Xun left, he told him that all the sergeants left behind would be handed over to his command, he felt even more
There was a surge of overwhelming pride in his heart, and the self-confidence of being alone permeated his whole body. Just when he heard the voice of the mountain behind him, took a deep breath, and was about to turn around and give orders, he suddenly heard a voice coming from behind him.
Made a complaint.
"How could Xu Xun be so bold!" Seeing Zhu Houzhao looking over, Ma Yongcheng gritted his teeth and said, "You know clearly that the Nanchang Vanguard barracks is the safest place now, so you hid in it yourself, and how dare you...
...Leaving Brother Shou here is too much!"
While one Zhang Yong and Gu Dayong were busy organizing the army, the other was watching the civil and military Ma Yongcheng grow taller over there. Wei Bin and Luo Xiang had just seen the flags fluttering under the city head, and they were all trembling.
·At this time, naturally, there was a lot of resentment towards Xu Xun who left them here, and some of them also joined in. Naturally, everyone was tightly surrounding Zhu Houzhao, the emperor was actually left to talk about it, everything was written between the lines.
He was accusing and complaining, but he didn't notice Zhu Houzhao's increasingly darker complexion.
At this time, they are still thinking about scheming?
At this moment, Abao, who was dressed in military uniform, quickly stepped forward. After saluting Zhu Houzhao, he said, "Master, it is Prince Ning who is here to supervise the battle!"
There is no arrow stack on the inner side of the city wall of Hue Gate in Nanchang, so when Zhu Houzhao strode to the edge of the wall, Ma Yongcheng and three others immediately stood dog-leggedly on both sides, each holding a shield in their hands.
Zhu Houzhao suffered some damage from the arrow fired from below.
Zhu Houzhao looked at the densely packed black heads below, then saw the big red elephant vehicle in the distance, and suddenly took a deep breath.
"Bring me the bow!"
Hearing Zhu Houzhao's deep voice, Abao immediately held up a bow and a bag of arrows. Before Ma Yongcheng could say anything, he was kicked by the little emperor on his calf. He couldn't help but groan in pain and squatted down.
He got down and just gave up a position. Zhu Houzhao skillfully took the arrow and drew the bow, squinted his eyes and aimed at the red elephant chariot. After a while, he gave up the idea of starting and aimed again at a distance of a hundred paces.
The large flag of King Ning fluttering in the wind is inside.
"Father, you must protect me!"
Following this low murmur, Zhu Houzhao suddenly shouted loudly. At that time, he bent his bow like a full moon and shot an arrow across the sky. But the arrow was like a meteor, crossing the surrounding Hue Gate.
The sergeants on the three floors inside and outside fell directly into the big flag bearing the banner of King Ning, and then with the force and the strong wind, they instantly blew away the majestic red flag.
A big hole was torn in the flag. Seeing this scene, Abao immediately used the same strength as when he was stretching on the canal and shouting slogans, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Heaven punishes the rebels, and the gods shoot mighty!"...
Under his leadership, Zhang Yong and Gu Dayong, who had been alarmed for a long time, immediately asked the guard sergeants below to shout in unison. The rising and falling voices immediately suppressed the voices shouting for King Ning's thousand years below.
Even the Chief Secretary and Dusi officials on the city wall noticed that their morale was improving, and at least there was some blood on their faces.
Although Ma Yongcheng had just been kicked away by Zhu Houzhao, seeing the little emperor's shooting skills, he immediately flattered him, as did Wei Bin and Luo Xiang. In the past, Zhu Houzhao would have been very proud, but now he was standing there
On the city wall, even though he saw the soldiers and horses below in chaos, he had no intention of sending anyone to take advantage of the situation. Instead, he looked at the big red elephant chariot over there with a serious expression.
From a distance of more than two to three hundred steps, he could only vaguely see three figures among them. Sitting there was Prince Ning Zhu Chenhao. Needless to say, one of them was completely hidden in the shadows, but the other one was not very visible.
Clearly, he could recognize it even if it turned into ashes!
That is clearly Liu Jin...Liu Jin!
Zhu Houzhao's gloomy expression made Ma Yongcheng and the others quickly realize that this time they were afraid of flattering the horse's legs, and they all stopped talking. However, the army horse of Prince Ning's Mansion below quickly took the shot.
The broken flag was replaced and suddenly replaced with another brand new one. Zhu Houzhao took a deep breath while holding the bow and arrow, but he did not try to shoot anymore, but pointed at Gu Dayong who had just rushed over.
He said: "Give me the order, if you can hit the big flag with one arrow, you will be promoted to a higher level by declaring your merits! Only one arrow is allowed. Any more shots will be in vain and will result in a fault!"
Without saying a word, Gu Da immediately walked down to deliver the order. But all of a sudden, he saw dozens of arrows falling on the big flag over there. However, the big flag was still erected in its original position, and this time it was actually
A dozen or twenty arrows landed on it, and it was as if the fine vermilion flag was shot into a sieve. At this time, even if Abao did not take the lead in shouting, the defensive sergeants on the city wall and above the stairs on both sides were still
There were bursts of cheers.
After two consecutive setbacks, Prince Ning Zhu Chenhao suddenly lost his temper. He roared and called a guard over, and said sternly: "Idiot, you don't know why you put the flag farther away and send it up to serve as a target for others!"
"Yes, yes, I'll do my humble job now!"
"Also, don't just stare at the city wall down below! This city wall extends in all directions, send people from other gates to fight along the city wall! Also, let the people below fight up the steps of the city wall! Just say that this vassal is here
Supervise the battle here. If you behead someone at the first level, you will be rewarded with ten taels of silver. If you behead someone at the third level, you will be promoted to a hundred households!"
The guard originally wanted to say that the passages leading to the other two city gates on the left and right sides of the Hue Gate city wall had been blocked by the iron horses and so on that had been moved up the city wall. If they wanted to attack directly from the top of the city wall, they would suffer heavy losses.
The steps on the city wall were condescending, making them easy to defend and difficult to attack. However, Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao awarded such a high reward, and he was immediately tempted. He immediately agreed and hurriedly rushed around to convey orders. At this time, Zhu Chenhao just changed
Sitting in a comfortable position, he looked at Liu Jin and laughed.
"Eunuch Liu, I will avenge you completely for all your vengeance."
"Uh-huh……"
Liu Jin agreed perfunctorily, but he did not adjust from the shock just now. The arrow he shot for the first time always made him a little scared, even though he was so far away,
He could only vaguely see a figure on the city wall, but the inexplicable feeling of familiarity could not be faked. Although he could not believe that Zhu Houzhao was actually here in Nanchang Mansion, the little emperor had always gone his own way.
, Xu Xun is so bold, nothing is impossible...
Thinking of the hardships he had suffered at the hands of Xu Xun, of being forced into such a situation this time, and of King Ning proudly saying that among all the vassals in the world, he had sent people to assassinate those who were close to the emperor.
, but once Zhu Houzhao died, Zhu Chenhao had the greatest chance. Liu Jin couldn't help but show a bit of struggle.
Looking at the current situation, after killing Zhu Chenhao, the possibility of him escaping is not high. In this case, it is better to point out Zhu Chenhao...
Just when this thought spread in his heart along with the shouts of killing, he suddenly heard a thundering roar from the top of the city: "Everyone cheer up, the reinforcements of the Nanjing guards will immediately
We’re here! As long as the rebellion is suppressed, all the gold, silver, and silk from Prince Ning’s palace will be rewarded to today’s meritorious officials!”
It is the voice of Zhu Houzhao, the voice of today’s emperor!
Liu Jin felt his heart beating into his throat. He opened his mouth as if he wanted to stab the most deadly thing. However, his body made the most instinctive action and quietly put his hand into his arms. However,
The next moment, he met the sharp eyes of the man in the iron mask. His whole body trembled, and he felt his heart skip a beat. But at this moment, the man in the iron mask seemed to have not seen anything, and cast his eyes aside.
.Faced with this best opportunity in his life, at that moment, he made the fastest move in his life.
In just an instant, Prince Ning Zhu Chenhao turned his head and saw Liu Jin suddenly pull out a dagger with a bright blade from his arms, and then rushed towards him. In shock, he instinctively
He wanted to escape, but there were three people in the spacious elephant carriage, and he had no room to move. Just when he panicked and grabbed the hand next to him, he suddenly realized that he planned to pull Xu Bian as a shield.
When he was blocking for himself, Xu Bian's hand suddenly became like an iron pincer, pressing him firmly onto the luxurious red bed. In just a moment, Liu Jin's dagger
It penetrated directly into his right flank, and the sharp stinging sensation made him scream out in agony.
Liu Jin glanced at the man in iron mask who had helped him succeed in surprise and suspicion. Without thinking too much, he suddenly stepped forward and jumped off the elephant chariot. At this moment, he suddenly heard a hoarse voice coming from behind.
"Hurry and capture Liu Jin, His Highness Prince Ning has been assassinated!" .).
