Jinyi Night Walk

Zhu Di rode on a horse and walked slowly towards the east city of Jinan. His eyes slowly moved up from the city wall riddled with holes, and what he saw were countless cheering crowds and waving arms.Many soldiers and civilians leaned out of the city wall and were looking at him, some even climbed up the wall, and Zhu Di's neck straightened even more quietly.

Jinan is finally here!

After nearly three months of hard fighting, he was also wounded and exhausted. Is it worthwhile to capture a city at such a high price?Compared with the large number of main forces of the Ming army annihilated in the two battles of Zhengcunba and Baigouhe, in a direct sense, attacking Jinan is obviously not worth the loss, but he is too eager to be recognized by the world, at least, to be taken seriously.

He is not a thief!

Attacking Jinan is not very effective in the military sense, but if you can successfully occupy Jinan, even if you only hold it for half a year, then shrink your troops and return to your own territory, the political significance will be self-evident. In this sense, , Jinan is determined to win.Now, this strong city finally surrendered under his feet.

The four pro-army guards in front had already walked into the city gate. In the city gate, the stones that were originally used to resist the city gate were removed and piled up on both sides. There were still a few wooden pillars firmly on the ground On the dome, it seems to prevent collapse.Eight unarmed gatekeepers knelt on both sides, touching their foreheads to the ground, not daring to lift their heads.

It was dark inside the city gate, and when the city gate went out, an incense table was set up under the sun, Sheng Yong, Tie Xuan and others were standing there respectfully in official clothes, except their official hats.The four guards in front did not hesitate, and immediately speeded up and passed through the city gate. They reined in their horses and inspected left and right. They found no ambush swordsman or archer, so they circled their horses and made a safe gesture to the back. King Yan Then the speed of travel was accelerated.

"Closer, closer..."

Tie Xuan's heart was pounding, his face showed a tame and submissive expression, his hands were slightly arched, but his eyes were fixed on Zhu Di, calculating the speed of the horse under his crotch.This thousand catty gate must be smashed to death sooner or later.Because the jack gate was just a huge knife that was hastily set up.

The city gate tower is the strongest place, it is impossible to leave a huge groove, which can hide a huge iron plate with an area large enough to block the entire city gate hole, so the timing of killing King Yan must be accurate, one blow fatal.If it starts early, it will block Zhu Di from the outside. If it starts too late, Zhu Di will rush in before the knife falls. Once he finds something has changed, he can circle the horse at any time and jump back from the knife to escape.

Seeing the four personal soldiers patrolling around, they had reined in their horses and stood still inside the city gate. Zhu Di showed a faint smile on his face. He knocked his legs on the stirrups, and the horses ran briskly. On the suspension bridge, the sound of hooves is crisp and sweet.

With a flick of the horsewhip, it lightly hit the horse's buttocks.

closer, closer...

Tie Xuan's throat was dry and his heart was about to jump out. Calculating the horse's speed, he suddenly took a step forward, clenched his fists with both hands, and shouted angrily, "Kill Yan!"

There was a "click", and I don't know who among the doormen who knelt on the ground to meet him pulled the mechanism, and in the dark place above the wooden frame, a large knife was chopped off with a "huh".

When the Chinese use beheading, they always use knives, but in the West, they also used knives at first, and later they used guillotines.In the West, beheading is a privilege enjoyed only by nobles, and inferior people are not worthy of beheading.Highwaymen will be tortured by wheels in public places; regicides will be quartered by horses; counterfeiters will be boiled to death in boiling water;

In the 18th century, the French took the lead in inventing the guillotine, but the original guillotine could not cut a few people. The blade of the blade was replaced with a right-angled triangle, which weighed forty kilograms. It only took two hundredths of a second to cut off a head, and it took 30 seconds for the severed head to lose consciousness. Minutes of hanging or electrocution can be called miraculous.Unfortunately, the guillotine, which was improved by Louis XVI himself, cut off his own head nine months later.

Tie Xuan summoned skilled craftsmen to design this jack gate, which is basically the prototype of this guillotine. It is said to be a jack gate, but in fact it weighs only a few hundred catties, and the blade is flat. Compared with the one improved by Louis XVI The triangular guillotine tilted at an angle of 45 degrees, although it is a bit thicker, it probably needs to be sharpened to cut people several times, but... its mission is only to cut one person.

Tie Xuan calculated the time very accurately. According to Zhu Di's speed, he should have just walked under the guillotine. Not to mention that he only wore three layers of leather armor, even if he wore thirty layers of leather armor, he would still be knocked down by the gate The knife is cut into two pieces.

However, the moment the horse's head had already entered the city gate, Zhu Di, who was riding on the horse, reined in the rein in a strange way, which seemed to be a subconscious movement, so his movement was not resolute, so the horse stopped for a while and continued to run forward. go.

But with just a short pause, the big switch knife fell down, faster than his speed for an instant.

With a sound of "poof", the sharp knife was cutting the horse's neck. The weight, speed, and sharp edge of the knife were like cutting butter with a red-hot knife. There was hardly a moment of stagnation. However, the horse was cut in half, including its head and legs.

The blood of the horse splashed all over Zhu Di, and he rolled off the horse. Looking at the guillotine that threatened to kill him, a chill rushed from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, and his hair exploded.

"There is an ambush!"

The guards of the King of Yan turned pale with fright, jumped off their horses and rushed on, picked up Zhu Di who was stunned and ran away. They hurriedly pushed Zhu Di onto a horse, and as soon as they slapped the horse's buttocks, the horse ran outside. Only then did they get on their horses one after another, guarding Zhu Di tightly behind them, and fled outward together.

"Shoot Zhu Di!"

Tie Xuan sighed regretfully, and hastily sent a signal to the top of the city. The cronies and soldiers who had been watching the sound at the top of the city immediately took out the bows and crossbows they had hidden and rushed to the side of the city wall. At the same time, the guards pretending to be begging officials He rushed to the incense table, drew the weapon from under the table, and rushed to the four guards of King Yan who were furiously drawing their swords.

The sun was scorching hot, but Zhu Di felt chills all over his body.

He came to accept the surrender, and he didn't wear a sword on his body. At this time, he held the saddle with both hands, bent down to protect his head, and just ran forward for his life. Then he shot at the man who was lying on the horse, who was obviously wearing a vassal's python robe.Thanks to Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng's repeated persuasion, Zhu Di was covered with three layers of leather armor when he came.

Even the spiked arrows used by the frontier army can only penetrate two layers of leather armor, let alone the arrows used by the officers and soldiers of the Jinan Guards.The arrow got stuck on the leather armor and didn't fall, but it didn't hurt his body, at most, which arrow was stronger and pierced the flesh a little bit.

Zhu Di fled back to his rear in a flash, his back shot like a porcupine...

The officers, soldiers and common people who were cheering and shouting on the city wall were stunned by this scene.

Those who stood on the city wall waving their arms, those who rode on the top of the wall waving and laughing, and those who crowded on the city wall to watch the excitement. On the ground, they fled back to his main formation as if stabbed, and a chill of extreme terror suddenly enveloped their bodies and minds.

Fraud!

They don't know, if Zhu Di has breath, as long as he invades Jinan, how will they be punished.

"Fortunately! Your Highness is safe!"

Zhu Neng, Zhang Yu, Qiu Fu and the others scrambled to Zhu Di's side, inspected them, and saw that the porcupine was still as fierce as a dragon, so they were relieved. Joy, under great sorrow and joy, almost burst into tears.Zhu Gaoxu's face was pale, he was younger after all, even though he saw his father was fine, he still couldn't calm down for a while.

Zhang Yu said in a trembling voice: "The Ming army actually pretended to surrender, but thanks to the divine help of His Highness, you... unexpectedly escaped..."

Zhu Di took off the leather armor with the arrow, threw it on the ground, forced a sneer and said calmly: "There is no divine help, someone in the city warned me."

He galloped his horse lightly, and the moment he was about to enter the city gate, a strong flash of light flashed past his eyes, Zhu Di subconsciously reined in the horse, and with just such a delay, he narrowly escaped the catastrophe , Thinking of the sharp gate knife cutting down against his face, cutting a steed in half, until now, he still has lingering fears in his heart.

"Is there someone in the city calling the police?"

When the generals heard the words, they looked at each other in dismay, and when they looked towards the top of the city, they saw a crowd of people in the city, and they couldn't find anyone to warn them.

At this time, the city gate has been closed again by the eight gatekeepers, and the stones are pressed against it heavily. No need to ask any more, the four guards who entered the city first have already been chopped to pieces.

Amid the angry yelling and cursing of the Yan army outside the city, Tie Xuan strode up to the top of the city, and said generously to the astonished soldiers and civilians defending the city: "What are you still doing in a daze, quickly pick up your swords, guns, bows and arrows to defend the city! Yan Ni survived by luck, and he will definitely not spare our soldiers and civilians in the city. Once they fall into the hands of Yan Ni, they will be skinned and cramped, and their bones will be smashed into ashes. To die is also to die for the country, to serve the king, to be heroic and loyal, to die a heroic death!

Then he walked to the edge of the city and yelled at Zhu Di while holding the wall.Only then did Zhu Di realize that it was this person who had cheated and surrendered, and almost killed himself. He couldn't help blood running through his pupils, and in a rage, he pointed his halberd at the top of the wall, and shouted sharply: "Tiexuan, you thief, how dare you deceive this king? Hugh will teach you to fall into the hands of this king, otherwise your life will be worse than death!"

While the two big men were talking cruelly, Xia Xun was riding on the wall, motionless like all the dumbfounded soldiers and civilians, but a sharp knife was quietly slipping into his sleeve inch by inch .

Ximen Qing, Xie Yufei and Nan Feifei stood beside him, separating him from the other observers and blocking their view.After a while, the small knife appeared in his left sleeve again. Ximen Qing was next to him with the medicine box on his shoulders. With a movement of his finger, the medicine box opened a crack, and the sharp knife used to clean up carrion and cut open wounds suddenly disappeared. Unknowingly stuffed it back.

"Crack!"

The medicine box was closed again, and no one saw the small movements. It seemed that they were still the same as everyone else, dumbfounded...! ~!
