Li Mou's voice made Li Mou involuntarily breathe a sigh of relief. He could finally enter the city. As a pioneer general, he had achieved his first victory, so he should be congratulated.
"Okay, please tell Duke Cheng that we will not do anything to the people. Even the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty will not threaten their safety as long as they do not resist."
Li Mou would shout like this, not to stabilize Liang Jun, or just to deceive the city gate into opening, but because the military discipline of Li Zicheng's army at this time was really good.
We were thieves or bandits before, and there was no tomorrow for today, so we could only do anything for our own survival. But now, seeing that they are about to overthrow the Ming Dynasty and replace it, of course they must make some changes in order to stabilize their political power in the future.
Therefore, Li Zicheng listened to the advice of his chief adviser Li Yan, improved military discipline, loved the people, and showed a very close-knit attitude. Because of this, for a period of time, wherever the bandit army came, the people lined the streets to welcome them.
As for Liang Jun, after receiving Li Mou's verbal promise, he retreated and came to the young master Zhu Changwu.
"Well done, I'll give you credit later." Zhu Changwu returned to his original smiling and optimistic look, and then he headed down the city tower. They were preparing to open the city gate and let the intruders into the city.
In a quarter of an hour, just when Li Mou's army outside the city was ready to enter the city, the Xuanwu gate finally opened slowly from the inside with a creaking sound.
The city gate was finally opened, and in the eyes of the long-awaited intruders, they were extremely happy, and they lined up to enter along with the army.
Li Mou rode on a war horse, right in the middle of the team, and led his army into the city surrounded by people.
Within the gate of Xuanwu City, fifteen thousand soldiers of the Ming Dynasty lined up on both sides. They watched a famous intruder walk past them, and then suppressed their excitement one by one.
In the eyes of these soldiers, who are these thieves? They are clearly nothing but money and the best trophies.
Li Mou came on horseback and followed the team entering the city into Xuanwu Gate, where he saw the Ming soldiers standing on both sides. At first, he was still cheerful. Being the first general of Dashun Army to enter the inner city was undoubtedly something to be proud of.
But as he walked, he felt something was wrong.
Why are there so many Ming soldiers?
Before they prepared to attack the capital, they had done some research. They also learned from many Ming officials who had contacted them privately that the current military strength of the Ming capital was empty, and the actual number of available troops should be less than 20,000.
But now he can only see so many people. By estimation, there are more than 10,000 people.
How could there be so many Ming troops in a mere Xuanwu Gate? This was different from the information I had received before.
It's okay to say that there are more troops, but the problem is that when Li Mou focused on these Ming army soldiers, he found that they were not in the state of a defeated army. They did not lower their heads one by one, as if they were mourning for their heirs. On the contrary, their eyes were very bright. Looking at the Dashun army entering the city, they were all excited.
What's going on?
Even if these people no longer want to work for the Ming Dynasty, they will not be so excited when they see the Dashun Army entering the city.
There's a problem, there's a big problem here.
Li Mou felt something was wrong, so he instinctively stopped his horse and wanted to say something. But at this moment, Zhu Changwu, who was among the Ming army, took action.
He has been watching Li Mou's every move. If possible, he would certainly like to let more intruders enter the city before taking action. But now, it was obvious that Li Mou had noticed something. From the looks of it, he clearly wanted to take action.
As the saying goes, if you strike later, you will suffer disaster; if you strike first, you will be stronger.
Now that Zhu Changwu discovered something was wrong with Li Mou, how could he possibly give him time to react and prepare?
The big sniper suddenly appeared between his hands, and then hit Li Mou with a flick of the gun.
The distance between the two people is only forty or fifty steps. At this distance, for a king of soldiers like Zhu Changwu, it is no different from a fixed target.
With a gunshot and a bang, Li Mou's head exploded.
From beginning to end, he didn't even say a word before his head was blown open by a huge sniper bullet.
The sound of a gun is an order.
This is what Zhu Changwu had agreed with the Ming army before. Now the gunfire rang out. The Ming army standing on both sides of the road rushed towards the soldiers of the Dashun Army who were walking in front of them. They rushed over. It was definitely worse than before. The old man and old lady who went to the supermarket to grab eggs were a little faster and more enthusiastic.
All the Ming troops moved. As if they were afraid that others would compete with them, they raised their swords before rushing in front of the enemy.
The Ming army was so "enthusiastic" that it instantly stunned the Dashun army.
What's going on?
Didn't it mean that these Ming troops had surrendered?
Aren't they lining the road to welcome me into the city?
How dare you attack yourself? Is this too shameless?
Is this starting a fight over a disagreement, or is it the kind where you say it first and you don’t know how to do it, even if you tell me you can’t do it, and then I believe you, and then you do it unethically again? It’s really Shameless especially.
No matter what these Dashun soldiers thought, Zhu Changwu only knew that soldiers never tire of deceit.
He only knows that no matter what means are used on the battlefield, being able to defeat the enemy is the most important. As for the rest, when I become stronger and need you to take the initiative to bow your head, I will do something kind and virtuous.
After a shot hit Li Mou's head, Zhu Changwu took a look at the system's value. Yes, it increased by 500 points. The reason why it was not 600 points was because it seemed that the other party was a heinous person.
But Zhu Changwu was very satisfied, and the sniper in his hand did not stop, firing one shot after another, specifically targeting General Dashun who was riding a horse.
As gunshots continued to sound, one after another Dashun Army generals were shot and fell off their horses.
Ji Jinkai, Lou Heyang, Liang Jun and Hu Yunfeng also fired one after another.
They had all been specially trained by Zhu Changwu on their way from Lu Gongbao to the capital. Although the time was not very long, they were all well-educated people and their marksmanship was already quite good.
Especially Lou Heyang, even though she is just a woman, but because she was good at bow and arrow before, using a gun is her old skill. This time the gun was fired, it actually hit the target and continued to contribute to the system's value.
In fact, this does not mean that Lou Heyang's marksmanship is so good. After all, real sharpshooters are fed with bullets. The reason why she has such achievements is because there are too many Dashun troops and they are densely packed. , as long as the bullet doesn't fly away, it can basically hit the enemy.
Not only were the four men of Ji Jinkai killing everyone, but even the ordinary Ming army soldiers were very brave.
With their geographical advantage and the ability to strike first, they had every advantage the moment they took action. And these Ming armies are now under the control of Zhu Changwu. Naturally, when they kill enemies, they are constantly contributing to the improvement of system values.
The numerical data continued to rise like a rapid charge. From the initial two thousand, it quickly rose to three thousand...five thousand...eight thousand, and then exceeded ten thousand.
While firing his gun and constantly harvesting the lives of enemy generals, Zhu Changwu still had time to see some changes in the system. The weapon bar was constantly lit up, and finally something that made him happy appeared.
W86 120mm medium caliber mortar.
Total weight: 206 kg.
Overall length: 1,540 mm.
Maximum range: 7,700 meters, killing radius 22 meters.
Muzzle velocity: 314 meters/second, can fire about 20 rounds per minute.
Although it is only a medium-caliber gun, it is enough for Zhu Changwu to meet the current battlefield situation.
I was thinking before that after repelling Li Mou's army, there would be retaliation from the main force of the Dashun Army. But with this kind of artillery, there is no need to be afraid for the time being.
While he was happy, he looked at the price. Zhu Changwu felt a little distressed. It was worth three thousand points. And each shell also costs two points.
Fortunately, fortunately, the gun body is not cheap, but the shells are not expensive and can be afforded.
After seeing W86 being activated, Zhu Changwu felt more confident and rushed out while firing. Now he is no longer satisfied with killing the enemy at Xuancheng Gate. He wants to fight back to Guang'an Gate to recapture it. In the end, he wants to keep all Dashun troops out of the capital.
...
royal palace.
The eunuch who delivered the order came back, crying with snot and tears. As Zhu Changwu said, this person really started to add fuel to the fire.
According to him, Zhu Changwu was a general without imperial power at all. He didn't take Long Live Lord seriously at all, and he almost said that he wanted to support his troops and become independent.
In short, in one sentence, Zhu Changwu is too outrageous, very outrageous.
If such people are not punished, it will be difficult to convince the public.
And it is impossible for such a person who has no ambition to save the Ming Dynasty, let alone become the mainstay of the Ming Dynasty and become a minister of humerus.
Wang Chengen was very angry when he heard this. He was absolutely loyal to Chongzhen. The most despotic thing was that some people did not take Long Live Lord's orders seriously. Even when Zhu Changwu said that he would be an absolutely loyal minister, all that goodwill was lost in this moment.
Chongzhen, on the other hand, didn't look very angry.
Just before Zhu Changwu appeared, he had decided to force his queen to death, kill his daughter, and let the princes go into exile.
If a person is already prepared for death, what else can make him angry?
Even if Zhu Changwu is really a rebellious minister as the eunuch who passed the order said, so what?
After all, Zhu Changwu is also named Zhu, so he is from his own family. It would be better for the Ming Dynasty to fall into his hands than to fall into the hands of thieves like Li Zicheng.
