Chapter 550
Kangxi took Hong Tianxiao's hand and climbed up to the city wall of the imperial palace together. Looking out, he saw that almost half of Oboi's camp had been engulfed in the sea of ​​flames, and wailing, cursing, and moaning sounded continuously towards this side. came.Hong Tianxiao didn't expect that one hundred and one of them could make such a big commotion, and he couldn't help feeling excited, he laughed at Kangxi and said, "Your Majesty, after this disturbance, it is impossible for Oboi to attack the city again tomorrow." , let’s take this opportunity to rest.”

Kangxi also showed a smile for the first time, nodded and said: "This is all thanks to Liu Aiqing, I only hope that delaying Oboi's siege for one or two days will buy precious time for Prince Kang, Yao Qisheng and the others. .Liu Aiqing, I thought that the plan to kill Oboi this time was perfect, but I didn't want to be known by Aoboi, which link did Aiqing think there was a problem?"

Hong Tianxiao didn't expect Kangxi to ask this question, and he was slightly startled, but he knew that after the night attack on Oboi's camp just now, Kangxi's doubts about him had been completely dispelled, so he thought for a while and said: "This matter It is indeed very strange. Originally, only the emperor and the minister knew about this matter, and the minister did not tell anyone. Even Lord Suo'etu and Prince Kang came to visit the minister's mansion, but the minister did not mention a word. Lord Etu and Prince Kang also got the emperor's secret decree this morning. Prince Kang is the emperor's elder brother. Lord Suo Etu hated Oboi to the bone because of Suo's chief assistant's funeral. It is absolutely impossible for these two people to vent to Oboi. The one who reported the letter, Yi Weichen, couldn't figure it out."

Hong Tianxiao's remarks were purely analysis, and Kangxi's intelligence could not have imagined such an analysis. Therefore, for Kangxi, these analyzes are simply nonsense.

Kangxi sighed slightly and said: "I have thought about it for a long time, but I still can't think of the flaws in it. I didn't expect that after Hu Ertai died, there would be such a powerful think tank beside Oboi. If this person really exists, it is true. It is so powerful, I am afraid that Prince Kang and Yao Qisheng will not be able to break through the capital in a short period of time, and the situation in the palace is worrying."

Hong Tianxiao was worried that there was no way out, when he heard the words, he thought of a plan, and hurriedly said to Kangxi: "Your Majesty, I have a way to let Prince Kang's army invade the capital."

Kangxi was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked, "What's Aiqing's plan?"

Hong Tianxiao said: "The four gates of the capital are easy to defend and difficult to attack, but this refers to from the outside to the inside. If it is from the inside to the outside, it will naturally be much easier. As long as the gates can be opened, Prince Kang's army will naturally be able to attack." Enter the capital easily, and then attack the emperor inside and outside, then Oboi will be defeated."

Kangxi's heart moved, and he blurted out: "Could it be that Aiqing is going to go alone?"

Hong Tianxiao nodded and said: "Exactly, Your Majesty, although the night attack was successful tonight, the casualties to Oboi were not too great after all. As long as the fire is extinguished, Oboi's army will launch a fierce attack on the palace. The situation is urgent. If the army from outside the city cannot be allowed to enter, I am afraid that given the current situation of the palace, it will be difficult to last for too long, so I believe that the most important thing now is to help Prince Kang's army enter the capital smoothly."

Kangxi sighed softly, shook his head and said, "No, Liu Aiqing, it's too dangerous for you to go alone. Although I know that Aiqing's martial arts are extraordinary and there are few opponents in the world, it's just that this is different from fighting in the rivers and lakes. It is to face thousands of troops alone, and there is almost no chance of winning."

Hong Tianxiao also sighed and said: "I also know this, but the situation is critical right now. If there are no surprise soldiers, it will be difficult to guard the palace for a long time. The world can live without humble ministers, but it cannot live without the emperor, so the emperor must not fall into it." Aobai is in the hands of traitors, so I decided to take a risk and ask the emperor for permission."

Kangxi opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't persuade him anymore. Although Liu Feiying was loyal to him, he would be of great use to him in the future, and in terms of seniority, Liu Feiying should still be his uncle, but if it was against Kangxi's own life, Than, what else can't be given up.Moreover, in Kangxi's heart, there is still an evil idea that is ready to move. If Liu Feiying dies, Princess Huilun, Princess Jianning and Yao Yuyan will become widows, then he can make these three beautiful girls unconsciously. into the palace.

Of course, Hong Tianxiao didn't expect that Kangxi was still thinking about Princess Huilun, Princess Jianning, and Yao Yuyan at this time, and Kangxi also didn't expect that Hong Tianxiao had already secretly transferred all the women from Liufu and Hongfu, including Hui Princess Lun, Princess Jianning and Yao Yuyan three daughters.

After some consideration, Kangxi finally nodded and said: "I am deeply gratified for Aiqing's loyalty to me. This trip is full of dangers, Aiqing must be careful. In the future, when the world is stable, I still need Aiqing's support." Assistant." After finishing speaking, Kangxi took out something from his bosom and handed it to Hong Tianxiao, it was a firecracker.

Kangxi said again: "This is a weapon bought from the Raksha Kingdom. It's called a fire blunderbuss. You only need to pull the trigger lightly, and you can kill a person within ten feet. Aiqing's martial arts are already high, so it's not necessary to use it." However, Aiqing is going to face thousands of troops after all. With this firecracker, the chances of winning may be greater. Moreover, if Aiqing can meet Oboi, all she needs to do is pull the trigger. You can take his life, and the siege of the palace will be lifted by itself."

When Hong Tianxiao went south to Yunnan, he asked for two firecrackers from Wu Sangui, kept one with him, and gave the other to Princess Jianning.However, too much of this thing is not too much, the more the safer, Hong Tianxiao was not polite, took the firecracker and thanked Kangxi.

This firecracker was originally carried by Kangxi for self-defense, but if Oboi's army really broke through the palace, let alone a firecracker, even if Kangxi had ten or twenty in his hand, it would be considered as one for him. Even with a heavy machine gun, it is hard to escape the fate of being captured or killed by Oboi.Rather than doing this, it would be better to give this firecracker to Hong Tianxiao to increase his chances of being able to open the gate of the capital. Kangxi thought so, and naturally he did the same.

When Kangxi saw Hong Tianxiao took over the firecracker, he suddenly grabbed Hong Tianxiao's right hand and said with a smile: "Liu Aiqing, it's still early, I'll see you off."

"Farewell party?" Hong Tianxiao couldn't understand what he heard. Could it be that Kangxi is going to hold a banquet and treat himself to a drink or two?

Just when Hong Tianxiao was confused, Kangxi had already ordered Duolong: "Duolong, go and invite the Twelve Divine Martial Cannons." Hong Tianxiao suddenly realized that he had forgotten Kangxi's Twelve Divine Martial Cannons.

The Shenwu cannon is actually a red cannon. It was named after the red body of the cannon. It was a British-made heavy-duty smoothbore gun between the 16th and 19th centuries. It was far more powerful than the red cannon, surpassing the cannons of all countries in the world at that time, and Kangxi personally renamed it the Shenwu Cannon.The Shenwu cannon played a very important role in quelling Wu Sangui's rebellion, annihilating the Zheng Jing forces in Taiwan, and later fighting against the Raksha Kingdom.

In just a quarter of an hour, Hong Tianxiao could hear the sound of the wheel "gurgling". Just from the muffled sound and the slight tremor on the ground, he could judge the size and weight of the object carried by the wheel. Hong Tianxiao Looking around, I saw more than ten guards in the front and back were pulling or pushing a tall and mighty red cannon towards the head of the city, and one after another, there were no more, no less, exactly twelve.

After the twelve Shenwu cannons, there were twelve carts, which were full of black shells, and each cart had about [-] or [-] shells.

After seeing the twelve Shenwu cannons being delivered, Kangxi showed an evil smile on his face, and ordered the guards to line up the twelve Shenwu cannons in a fan shape facing Oboi's circular camp.Then, the surveyor pointed the sights of each cannon to the Aobai camp, and then the gunner put the first shell into the cannon body cavity, and at the same time raised the torch, waiting for Kangxi's order.

Seeing that everything was ready, Kangxi took Hong Tianxiao's hand, came behind the twelve cannons, and said with a smile: "Let Oboi's army panic again, and then Aiqing will take the opportunity to break through, and the obstacles encountered will naturally be small." There are a lot of them. Everyone listens to the order and shoots all the shells in your car to Oboi's camp, whoever hits the most accurately will be rewarded heavily."

"Follow the order." Twelve surveyors and twelve gunners shouted in unison.

"Boom boom boom..." The first twelve shells arrived at Aobai's camp almost at the same time, all of them hit the target, and none of them missed.Obai's army had already extinguished the fire. Some soldiers were rearranging the tents, some were helping others to bandage the wounds, and some were clearing away the corpses. There was no defense at all. When a shell fell, stumps flew all over the sky.

The first shell is followed by the second shell, the second shell is followed by the third shell..., and each shell lands in a different place, no two shells land in the same place .

Seeing the misery of Oboi's camp, Hong Tianxiao didn't feel the slightest joy in his heart. First, he was worried about Hu Yizhi's safety. When Kangxi fought decisively on the battlefield, these mighty cannons would become a big obstacle.

After about half an hour, all the shells were fired, and Oboi's camp was once again engulfed in flames. Although Oboi's camp was engulfed in flames both times, the casualties were very different. Hong Tianxiao The 2000-man robbed the camp and killed more than [-] enemies, which took two and a half hours, but the bombardment of the Shenwu cannon caused tens of thousands of casualties to Oboi's army, and there were countless minor and serious injuries, and it only took half an hour.

After the cannonballs were fired, Hong Tianxiao hurriedly said to Kangxi: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, with this magical cannon, how can Oboi have any chance of winning this rebellion?"

Kangxi was also very satisfied with the power of these Shenwu cannons, smiled slightly, shook his head and said: "No, although the power of Shenwu cannons is great, they can only be used for long-distance combat, so they are good at attacking cities and defending them. To make it short, this time Oboi didn't know that I had this fetish, that's why it had such a miraculous effect. Next time, as soon as the twelve divine cannons are unveiled at the top of the city, Oboi will lead the army to attack the city, and the supernatural The cannon has become a liability."

When Hong Tianxiao thought about it, it really was the truth, and he couldn't help admiring Kangxi.

Kangxi continued: "However, I have great cannons in long-distance combat, and Aiqing's superb martial arts in close combat. The soldiers fought desperately. This is where I won the decisive victory over Oboi. Right now, Oboi's army is completely in a panic. Aiqing Qing can take this opportunity to break through, remember, fight if you can, if you can't fight, return to the palace, let's think of other ways."

Hearing the words, Hong Tianxiao shook his body and was moved in his heart. He nodded hurriedly, clasped his fists at Kangxi, turned and left, but sighed in his heart, if he hadn't been a Han Chinese and devoted himself to fighting against the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Han Dynasty, Kangxi's actions alone One sentence is enough to make me feel sorry for him, and I will never hesitate to die.

After bidding farewell to Kangxi, Hong Tianxiao turned around and walked downstairs quickly. Just as he walked downstairs, there was a burst of extremely fast footsteps behind him. Except for Duolong, there is no second person.Hong Tianxiao couldn't help but think, secretly thought, did Kangxi change his mind again?
"Lord Liu." Seeing that Hong Tianxiao didn't intend to turn his head back, Duo Long was still walking straight towards the gate of the palace, and shouted hastily.

"Duolong, does the emperor have any other orders?" Hong Tianxiao looked back, what he was most worried about was that Kangxi would suddenly change his mind, so that it would be difficult for him to find other reasons to escape.

Duolong ran close to Hong Tianxiao before stopping, and made a strange movement for Hong Tianxiao. He suddenly took off his saber, held it in both hands, and handed it to Hong Tianxiao, saying sincerely: " Master Liu, this is the Lengyue treasured knife handed down from my family, the blade is so sharp that it can break hair, please wear it."

Hong Tianxiao was taken aback for a moment, and looked at Duolong in surprise, but he couldn't find any hypocrisy on his face, so he couldn't help taking a step back and said: "How can this be, since this knife is your family's family heirloom, how can it be so easy? Give it away, and my going here is extremely dangerous, and my life will be in danger, so this knife will fall into the hands of others?"
