Four hundred and fiftieth chapters break the city (five)
Chapter 456: Breaking the City (5)
When the disheveled King Jin was escorted to the city gate, the middle-aged general knew that his side was completely ruined.《》
Seeing His Royal Highness King Jin trapped on his horse by more than a hundred black warriors wearing night clothes. The middle-aged general shook his head and sighed, then pulled out the long sword from his waist. Before anyone could react,
, and stroked hard on his neck.
There was a splat and blood splattered.
The general who committed suicide closed his eyes and fell off his horse. With a plop, he fell into the blood on the ground.
"General!" The soldiers beside him suddenly became miserable after seeing the general committing suicide.
The king was captured, and the general committed suicide. The morale of the soldiers, who lost their leader, plummeted. Under the constant approach of the imperial army, these soldiers finally dropped their weapons and knelt on the ground.
Then, these soldiers were suppressed by the imperial army and waited to be dealt with.
After the city gate was completely cleared, Lu Heng rode in on horseback, protected by dozens of warriors.
When he reached King Jin, Lu Heng patted the horse's neck. The horse shook its head, snorted, and stopped.
"Well done!" Lu Heng praised him with a smile. He was the captain of the paratrooper brigade. Seeing the other party scratching his head and giggling, he seemed a little shy. Lu Heng smiled and said lightly: "Go back and celebrate for you!"
The captain raised his head and smiled cheerfully, missing a front tooth.
Behind him, Duan Pengzheng pulled Agui with a grateful look on his face, smiled flatteringly and bowed his hands.
"Brother Agui, thank you for your timely action, otherwise Duan, an incompetent subordinate, would have been cut into pieces with random knives!"
Agui smiled, then took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms and handed it to Duan Peng: "This is the healing medicine of Miao Village. Give Ma San a dose and he will be cured within two days!"
"Brother Agui, you are so kind-hearted!" Duan Peng burst into tears of gratitude and quickly took the porcelain bottle and put it in his arms. His expression was as if he was receiving a sacred object. (《》7*
"General Duan is too flattering!" Agui smiled, then regained his master's temperament, stood with his hands behind his back, and said calmly: "But remember, in the future in front of outsiders, you have to call me Ximen Chuixue!"
Duan Peng was stunned for a moment, then he smiled and said: "Duan understands!"
Listening to the conversation between Agui and Duan Peng behind him, Lu Heng smiled slightly. After the battle, both the generals and the soldiers were a little tired. Relaxing would not harm the overall situation.
He raised his head and saw Prince Jin on horseback, his face ashen as death. After Lu Heng thought for a while, he waved his hand and said to the paratrooper captain: "Untie your highness!"
"Yes!" After receiving the order, the paratrooper captain took out a dagger from his arms and cut the rope around King Jin's body.
After being untied, King Jin moved. He stretched out his hand and rubbed his painful wrists and arms. He shook his head and sighed, raised his head, looked at Lu Heng in front of him, shook his head with a wry smile, and said with cupped hands: "Lu Heng,
We meet again!"
"Yes!" Lu Heng nodded slightly and said. Then he took the water bag from a soldier and handed it to King Jin. Seeing him take off the water bag, he raised his head and took a deep breath. Lu Heng smiled and said,
Then he handed him another piece of dry food.
Seeing that King Jin was enjoying the food, Lu Heng smiled and said slowly: "Eat slowly, there will be many good things when we get to Tokyo!"
After King Jin swallowed the dry food with difficulty, he raised his sleeves, wiped the water stains from the corners of his mouth, and said vaguely: "What a good thing, is it a knife?"
Lu Heng smiled and shook his head: "No!"
"I hope so!" King Jin sighed, his expression desolate.
The wind blew, bringing a strong smell of blood.
Although the body had been moved away, the blood flowing into the river on the ground had already frozen into ice. At this time, the wind blew with the snow, and after passing the bloody ice, the white snow was dyed red.
.Temple
Prince Jin lost interest and threw away the water bag and dry food. He clapped his hands, then raised his eyes and began to look at the devastated surroundings.
Such an action caused the expressions of the soldiers behind Lu Heng to change. They snorted coldly and were about to step forward and beat this unscrupulous guy.
Duan Peng grabbed him, glared at him, and then threw him behind him.
King Jin naturally saw the soldier's eyes, but at this time, he had nothing to be afraid of. He just looked at the soldier with contempt, and then began to look around, looking at the Taiyuan city wall under the night.
.
Wherever you look, you can see gunpowder smoke and billowing dust. Between the broken walls and ruins, blood flows like a river.
The tower on the city gate had long been shattered by cannonballs. At this time, only a few logs were left, still burning. The green smoke curled up into the night sky.
He lowered his head and glanced at the ground under his feet, and found that the war horse under his crotch was actually standing in a pool of blood that was still not frozen. The war horse seemed to be very unaccustomed to this land, so it raised its feet and moved. There was a splash of blood.
Blood and water.
It must have been an extremely brutal fight!
Look at the sword on the ground not far away.
King Jin's eyes suddenly darkened.
That sword was given to the general by him just three hours ago. Unexpectedly, just such an action with impure motives would earn the other party's loyalty to sacrifice his life in the line of duty.
Ha... If I had known earlier, I would have given it to him earlier!
Thinking of the general who committed suicide, he was so excited when he took over the sword. King Jin felt extremely guilty in his heart.
"What are you thinking about?" Lu Heng asked with a slight smile.
The night wind was a bit cold, and the flying snow continued to drift by. Some snow particles got into the collar, making people shiver. Lu Heng tightened his clothes, smiled slightly, and looked at Prince Jin.
"It is rumored that you have unpredictable wisdom. Can you give me a guess?" King Jin smiled, raised his head, and looked at Lu Heng teasingly.
Lu Heng didn't mind the other party's ridicule. After hearing the words, he just shook his head and smiled. He turned his head and glanced at the shining sword stuck in the blood. He pointed with his finger and said to King Jin calmly: "You should have
Give him military power!"
When they first attacked the city, reinforcements had not yet arrived. Lu Heng was already a little suspicious.
Although it is theoretically speculated that it was a test of patience between King Jin and Lu Heng. However, given King Jin's broad mind, he probably still suspected that his subordinates had impure motives. The delay in sending reinforcements should be due to fear of his own hands.
The last bit of self-protection power fell into the hands of someone with ulterior motives.
At this time, seeing King Jin's obviously regretful expression, the answer was already ready to come out.
"Can you guess this?" King Jin rolled his eyes and said with a wry smile.
"Just a wild guess!" Lu Heng smiled and said casually.
The wind blows, and the torch next to me flickers, and the light of the fire sways, bright and dark.
Prince Jin's face flickered even more under the light of the fire.
"Back then, I sent people to Jiangning to recruit you!" King Jin thought about his words, and then felt that at this moment, he was so cautious, which seemed a little inappropriate for the situation. He smiled and laughed at himself. Jin
The king raised his head, looked at Lu Heng and said, "Why don't you want to be loyal to me?"
Lu Heng thought for a while and looked at King Jin seriously: "It's very simple. There is no future in following you!"
"Uh..." King Jin was stunned for a moment, then he laughed dumbly: "This answer is really..."
"You predicted at that time that I would eventually rebel and fail?" King Jin looked at Lu Heng disbelievingly and asked curiously.
"Absolutely!" Lu Heng nodded, thought for a moment, and said calmly: "You have a bad reputation in Shanxi. As the saying goes, if you are in good ways, you will get more help, but if you are unjust, you will have few. This is what Sage Kong said!"
"It's Mencius!" King Jin rolled his eyes, despising Lu Heng for his reputation.
"Ahem, slip of the tongue!" Lu Heng blushed and said with a smile.
King Jin sighed and took a deep look at Lu Heng. His eyes were indifferent and he looked into the distance and said, "Actually, I really appreciate you!"
"This...%" Lu Heng didn't know how to answer. In the end, he just smiled, cupped his fists and said, "Thank you for your appreciation, Your Highness!"
"It's true, I really admire you! I appreciate your talent, your strategy, and your indifference to fame and fortune. Except..." King Jin said lightly, paused for a moment, and then turned his head.
, stared at Lu Heng intently, and said in a deep voice: "Except for the fate of women!"
"I really don't understand. I am rich and powerful. But why do all the women I like fall in love with you?" King Jin was a little excited. He stared at Lu Heng and asked aggressively,
"Can you tell me, the king, why this is?"
Lu Heng shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands, and said with a sincere and innocent look: "It's a matter of character!"
King Jin: "..."
Behind him, Duan Peng couldn't help but be curious after hearing these words. He coughed, lowered his voice and asked Agui: "Brother Agui, this..." Halfway through the words, he saw Agui's expression was not kind. Duan Peng then thought of what he had just said.
The two agreed, coughed, and quickly changed his words: "Brother Ximen, is this really the case?"
"That's natural!" After being honored as "Ximen Chuixue", Agui was obviously a little carried away. He crossed his arms and said triumphantly: "My young master is a handsome man, with a jade tree facing the wind. He is very talented, and he is kind-hearted and treats others well."
Sincerity. Respect the old and love the young, inherit the tradition, and support the royal family..."
Agui shook his head, stretched out his fingers, counted his fingers, and spoke one after another. In the end, even he couldn't count himself, so he waved his hand and said, "Anyway, there are a lot!"
After hearing this, King Jin asked curiously: "Is this really the case?"
Lu Heng's face felt a little hot and he coughed, but he still endured it shamelessly and nodded: "It's still a little less!"
King Jin: "..."
Shaking his head dumbfounded, King Jin's eyes were filled with speechlessness. Looking across from him, he saw the scholar who had defeated him single-handedly. He felt a lot of emotion in his heart.
