Chapter 403: Meeting with fate

In the Han Wangjun camp, the sound of the boring and repeated noise of sawing wood kept ringing.

The sergeant carrying the wood was also shouting very neatly and rhythmically.

People are logging and transporting wood, building Huihui cannons and cloud ladders, and there is a busy scene on all sides.

The escort general who knew the inside story of the army had advised Zhu Gaoxu not to make weapons.

But Zhu Gaoxu replied: If we surround the city but do not build tools to siege the city, it would be like telling Guo Zi that we are determined to seize the city by relying on our inner responsibilities!

Before Mu Sheng's army reached the west of the city, Zhu Gaoxu's troops had already surrounded Chengdu on all sides.He mobilized his troops to attack the city walls every day with long-range weapons such as crossbows, copper muskets, and bowl guns.

Nearly a hundred steps away from the city wall, rows of soldiers stood in line with torches and charcoal in front of them, and everyone lit the oil cloth wrapped around the arrowheads.

Amid the shouts of the generals, the heavy infantry in front of the guns, shields, and the sound of strings behind them was crackling.

The black smoke in the air was heavy, and the dense rockets flew towards the city like fireflies.Boom boom boom boom!The sound of cannons was intermittent, and the city walls were filled with smoke and fire.

Near... The tragic neigh of a war horse came from a distance, and a shell fell into the cavalry, causing a slight riot.

But the large cavalry formation remained unmoved. The soldiers stood quietly next to the horses with the reins, looking at the closed city gate in the distance.

Zhu Gaoxu looked back and saw that the military formation was nothing unusual.

He remembered that when he was talking to Mu Sheng in the past, Mu Sheng said that some chieftains' army could be defeated with just a few rounds of artillery attacks; but the army of the Ming Dynasty's garrison was not so decayed, and everyone was familiar with firearms and would not be easily scared.

The two sides fired each other with crossbows and firearms. The formation was spectacular and the sound of cannons was deafening, but the effect was not great.

At this time, the long-range weapons have limited lethality after a distance of 100 steps, and can only slowly consume each other's troops.

After this was spent in the afternoon, Zhu Gaoxu sent someone to send orders, and the troops retreated one after another and returned to the camp two miles away...

It will take several days to build a few heavy weapons, and the Han Wangjun is still unable to launch an effective attack on Chengdu City.

But before dawn the next day, Zhu Gaoxu ordered all troops to gather troops and lined up to approach the city wall to use the same trick again.

Zhu Gaoxu rode on the horse and stared at the city gate for a long time, and he was inevitably becoming more and more panicked. His heart was hanging, worried about what unexpected problems would appear inside!

Leaked secrets when contacting the planner?Or are the Prince of Huayang and Wanquan a person with no courage?

Zhu Gaoxu sat on the horse expressionlessly, thinking about those things over and over again.

He was lucky: I was the prince of the Ming Dynasty, and I didn't say that I would not give anyone a way to live, and there was no need for the military and civilians in Chengdu to defend the siege.

As long as some people organize their backwards, there will definitely be changes!

The key is organization.Even in the late Yuan Dynasty, countless people could no longer survive, and a group of people such as Taizu of the Ming Dynasty needed to gather and organize people in the name of religion, and geniuses would become...

Suddenly, the south city gate in the distance seemed to move.Zhu Gaoxu immediately held his breath, reached out and rubbed his eyes, stared at him for a while, and the city gate was really slowly opening!

Cavalry get on the horse!Zhu Gaoxu turned around and shouted, "All the cavalry rushed to the city gate!"

The soldiers immediately became uproar, and shouts came one after another, and the soldiers turned on their horses and their horses were activated.

The horses in front jogged for a while and soon began to speed up and sprint, with the rumbling sound of horse hooves constantly.

The city gate was gradually opened, and the suspension bridge fell on the moat with a bang.

There were constant shouts from the city gate: It is better to commit suicide than to the Han Dynasty to make meritorious contributions than to die in the lonely city!It is better to commit suicide in an lonely city than to make meritorious contributions... Hou Hai and others were very attentive in their work, and they must have thought about it in advance after hearing this conjunction.

Countless Han Wang cavalry kept rushing in through the city gate, and the same scene was repeated at the ancient city gate, with the noise and noise shook the earth.

When Zhu Gaoxu saw such a scene, the heart hanging in the air fell slightly and he exhaled a long sigh.

Once Chengdu City is captured, the entire Sichuan Provincial Administration and the General Office will be basically stable!

After all, this is a battle within the Zhu family. The vast majority of people are unable to resist tenaciously. People who are in power will probably just listen to whoever is in power.

Those who abandon their weapons and squat down will be saved from death!The generals in the Han Wang army shouted, and the cavalry soldiers shouted together.

The infantry and cavalry that had just reinforced the city wall saw a large iron cavalry rushing in, and there were ding-kneeling everywhere, and countless surrenders were heard.

The military generals of the official army could not stop them at all, and even many of the generals surrendered.

Crack and scratch... The infantry outside the city gate trotted in columns and soon arrived at the door.

Zhu Gaoxu rushed into the city gate with his personal guards in front of the infantry.As soon as he entered, he heard the majestic sound of footsteps colliding with iron armor, and saw a large number of official infantry soldiers on a cross street.

However, when the Han Wangjun's army also came in, the officials and soldiers stopped one after another.

Zhu Gaoxu turned his head and shouted: Brothers from Sichuan Guards, can you follow me in Annan Kingdom, why can't you follow me in Sichuan?Think about the invincible scenery we are!

Ding ding ding hang hang... Immediately, a large group of people threw away the weapons at the same time.

At this moment, Hou Hai, Wan Quan and a young man in a group of dragon uniforms came over with a group of military men. They bowed to Zhu Gaoxu on the horse.

Zhu Gaoxu pointed at Hou Hai and said: Hou Dianzhao, you have done a good job and made great contributions. Now you will be the Left Chief of the Han Palace.

Hou Hai hurriedly said: Thank you, the prince, for your cultivation!

Zhu Gaoxu took a look at Wan Quan again: We are destined to be, General Wan will continue to work with me!

Wan Quan hurriedly thanked him.

Zhu Gaoxu then glanced at the young man who was born: Is the prince of Huayang?The young man in the dragon wardrobe held a ritual and said: I'll pay homage to my cousin.Zhu Gaoxu said happily: What Hou Hai promised you is what I mean, and I will definitely fulfill it!

...In the lobby of the Sichuan Provincial Government Office, Guo Zi was wearing a red official uniform and sat steadily on the seat, with imperial edicts and seals placed in front of him.

The civil and military officials in the lobby have scattered one after another, and the huge official office room seems empty and particularly desolate.

After a while, many soldiers came in and surrounded the lobby.

Then some people went straight to the desk next to them and searched for official documents randomly.

In such a scene, Guo Zi has the illusion that he has become a soul and no one can see him.

After a while, Zhu Gaoxu, a burly man wearing heavy armor and long weapons, walked to the door of the lobby.

Zhu Gaoxu looked up at the seat and said: Guobutang, why are you still sitting there?Get off now!

Guo Zidao: This official is an official appointed by the court...

Zhu Gaoxu interrupted him rudely: Didn’t the Zhu family give you a title? Can you still ride on this king’s head?

Guo Zi was speechless and had to walk down from the seat.But he stood there with his head rudely raised, not wanting to bow to the King of Han at all.

Zhu Gaoxu glanced at him and asked: Did Xue Lu run away?

Guo Zi refused to answer silently.

Zhu Gaoxu didn't continue asking, and walked to the door of the hall behind. He turned around and said, "Please invite Guo Butang to Qintang behind to speak."I have a few words that I wanted to ask very early.

The two of them sat in the piano hall, and the noisy and messy outside seemed to have become much quieter in an instant.

Relying against the wall, Zhao Ping wrapped his hands in front of his chest, spread his legs and stood silently staring at Guo Zi.

There is no one else other than that.

Zhu Gaoxu asked directly: What trap was hidden in the Wenlou Building a few months ago in the Imperial Palace?

Guo Zi said nothing.

Zhu Gaoxu said: Guobutang, I am still polite to you?

Guo Zi quickly spoke: What Monk Qingyuan gave me, Yuan Gong's idea.

oh!Zhu Gaoxu slapped his forehead. In the Jingnan Campaign, I quietly went to the capital to meet Li Jinglong. The incense I used was prepared by the monk Qingyuan!He glared at Guo Zi, "You guys are so vicious!"

Guo Zi said: No one dares to hurt the King of Han because he is worried that you will rebel.It's true now.

Zhu Gaoxu said: Your group of people and the Eastern Palace party members.What have you done?Guo Butang wrote it truthfully, and I will spare you and let you go.I am a very credible person and do what I say.Of course, he never talked about credibility a long time ago, and that was impossible.

And too many people in the world don’t talk about it. Now he feels that he can be forgiven after being whitewashed.

Guo Zi said calmly: The King of Han should believe that the death of the late emperor must have nothing to do with the Emperor or the Eastern Palace!Before the emperor ascended the throne, he was already the crown prince; the common people would not do such beastly things, let alone the crown prince?

Not to mention that the emperor is definitely not the other person, but ministers and officials of the Eastern Palace, how dare they plan to kill the king and the father?I know that the King of Han is different from ours and dislikes us; but you also know that the ministers of the court are all people who read and politely, and they still have some virtues and literary talents.

It was indeed a man full of ink and bad water. Before Zhu Gaoxu could confess his fault, he convinced the person... Zhu Gaoxu refused to admit it, but felt that Guo Zi was quite reasonable.

The possibility of the death of the late emperor Zhu Di was not very good to be harmed by the crown prince.The prince just wanted to kill Zhu Gaoxu, but this matter was true!

Zhu Gaoxu ignored it and pondered: The articles written by Yang Rong are all nonsense, all of which are framed and slandered lies! Let me tell me what happened in the palace before and after the death of the late emperor?

Guo Zi kept silent and looked ahead blankly, as if he had lost consciousness.

Zhu Gaoxu snorted and said to himself: You are still alive after the city is broken, it seems that you don’t want to die.

After thinking about it, he stood up and said: Since Guo Butang has fallen into my hands, I have my own way to ask you to speak.

Guo Zi said: What the King of Han said is very true. If I fall into your hands, it will inevitably be a whisper. What can such a confession prove?

Zhu Gaoxu said to Zhao Ping: Keep Guo Zi away, don’t make things too difficult for him.Without any last resort, I will give you some basic face. I hope Guo Butang will not humiliate himself!
