"kill!"
"The first to break the city will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins!"
Zhu Gaoxu rode his horse and shouted loudly, his whole body showing overwhelming domineering power.
The Yan Army cavalry immediately launched a fearless attack, hoping to be the first to break the city!
At the same time, Chen Zhi was rushing to Prince Dai's Mansion, but suddenly heard the alarm bell on the city wall ringing. He had to give up the idea of rescuing Prince Zhu Gui and rushed back to the city wall.
After all, if the acting king Zhu Gui dies, Chen Zhi will undoubtedly die in the future.
But if King Yan Zhu Di breaks into Datong, then Chen Zhi will be dead now!
Choosing the lesser of two evils, Chen Zhi could only resist the Yan army's attack first, and send a confidant to put out the fire in Prince Dai's palace.
However, what he didn't expect was that Xu Zhong was leading Zhu Gui's family members to fight all the way to the city gate.
Seeing the menacing Xu Zhong and others, the city gate guard immediately led his men to block their way as if they were facing a formidable enemy!
"Xu Zhong!"
"You thief!"
"How dare you betray the imperial court?"
Hearing this, Xu Zhong just sneered and said: "I am loyal to the court and the Ming Dynasty, how can I say betrayal?"
"But now that the young master is fatuous and treacherous ministers are in power, even a villain like Chen Zhi can occupy a high position. Why do you tell me, Chen Zhi?"
"His Royal Highness the King of Yan has great ambitions and is known as the master of human beings. Now he is following the destiny and serving the emperor. The Yan army is the true master of the king!"
"You still want to listen to Chen Zhi's slander and continue to resist stubbornly?"
When it comes to talking skills, Xu Zhong is not bad at all, and he immediately made all the defenders look at each other.
Seeing this situation, the acting king Zhu Gui also immediately followed the output!
"Do you still remember me?"
As the acting king Zhu Gui appeared, all the soldiers were shocked.
After all, they were once deployed under the command of this acting prince, and even went to war with him!
"This king is Taizu Xueyin, the son of Emperor Gao!"
"But how did that bitch Chen Zhi treat me?"
"He imprisoned me in the palace and humiliated me like a pig or a dog!"
"Could it be that Emperor Taizu Gao just passed away and you forgot about him?"
Zhu Gui was very smart. He knew that he was notorious, so he moved directly out of the great mountain of Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang!
After all, Zhu Gui is the biological son of Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang. Even if he doesn't look at the monk's face, he still has to look at the Buddha's face, right?
Could it be that these soldiers really dared to use their swords against Zhu Gui?
I have to admit that Zhu Gui made the right bet!
All because of the lofty prestige of Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang. In the hearts of the common people and soldiers, he was the real king and father!
It's just that the defender didn't want to let them out of the city. After all, the Yan army was attacking the city at the moment. If the city gate was opened, Datong would really be doomed.
"Your Highness, please be patient."
"When the Yan army retreats, I will send His Highness out of the city respectfully!"
The guard replied respectfully, giving the acting king Zhu Gui enough face.
After all, he was also a soldier under Taizu's command back then, and he didn't want to see Taizu Xueyin being humiliated by a villain.
However, even given such a choice, Zhu Gui still shook his head firmly.
Wait for the Yan army to retreat?
Are you kidding me?
I just want to cooperate with Yan Jun inside and outside!
"Asshole!"
"It seems that my status as king is no longer useful!"
"You all have the same virtue as Chen Zhi, how dare you, the cats and dogs, humiliate Taizu Xueyin?"
Facing Zhu Gui's severe rebuke, the guard was about to say something else, but unexpectedly, the deputy next to him suddenly drew his sword and stabbed him to the core!
"Why are you?"
The guard turned around in disbelief and could not figure out why he betrayed him until his death.
The lieutenant's face was expressionless, he just pulled out the knife and then stabbed it again.
This person was the one who conspired with Xu Zhong. If he had not been responsible for guarding the city gate, Xu Zhong would not have invited him to conspire.
After killing the guard, the deputy looked around murderously.
"The blood of Taizu cannot be insulted!"
"Taizu cannot be insulted!"
"Open the city gate quickly!"
"Anyone who disobeys the order will be shot to death!"
With his ruthlessness, the lieutenant successfully suppressed all the soldiers.
Immediately, Xu Zhong and Zhu Gui also stood beside him, full of threats.
In desperation, the city defenders had no choice but to give up resistance, and the next moment the city gate suddenly opened!
When the officers and soldiers of the Yan army who were attacking the city saw this, they immediately burst into deafening cheers.
"On behalf of King Zhu Gui, I respectfully welcome His Royal Highness King Yan to the city!"
Zhu Gui stood at the city gate and shouted with great joy.
Xia Yike's cavalry came galloping, and the leader was none other than the heroic general Tan Yuan.
"Come here, escort His Highness Daiwang to see the prince!"
Tan Yuan gave a casual order, and then led his army into the city.
The news that the city gate had been lost quickly reached Chen Zhi's ears. It was like a thunderclap that shocked him so much that he couldn't recover for a long time.
"Why?"
"How could the city gate be lost?"
"Which step did the problem go wrong?"
Chen Zhi could only be helpless and furious. Looking at the Yan army soldiers who kept coming, he had the intention of retreating.
The Yan army has entered the city, and Datong cannot be defended. He can only continue to flee.
When he thought of this, Chen Zhi immediately headed straight to the north gate with his confidants.
Without the command of the general, the defenders were instantly at a loss and their morale was completely gone.
Zhang Yu, Zhu Neng and other generals entered the city one after another, and no one could stop them wherever they passed!
Just as they were getting ready to kill, the acting king Zhu Gui had already been sent to the Yan king Zhu Di.
Looking at the disgraced thirteenth brother, Zhu Di immediately got off his horse and hugged him with red eyes.
"Old Thirteen, I have really suffered for you!"
"Fourth brother? You are finally here, fourth brother!"
The acting king Zhu Gui, who had always been arrogant and domineering, was now like seeing his parents' child, crying bitterly in Zhu Di's arms.
Since the new emperor Zhu Yunwen came to the throne, he was immediately deposed as a commoner, imprisoned in the palace, and lived like a prisoner.
After that, he was shocked to hear that King Zhu Di of Yan was raising troops to quell Jingnan. Zhu Gui still wanted to struggle and respond to his fourth brother's rise of troops, but was suppressed by Chen Zhi and couldn't even get out of the Prince's Palace!
Recalling those oppressive and miserable lives, the acting king Zhu Gui cried heartbrokenly and felt so sad.
King Yan Zhu Di also had red eyes. This was Taizu Xueyin. How could he, Zhu Di's biological brother, be bullied like this?
Zhu Yunwen, Zhu Yunwen, you damn little beast, you really deserve to die!
"Fourth brother is here, don't be afraid!"
"No one will dare to bully you in the future. I will definitely kill that Chen Zhi to vent your anger!"
"It's just that I am not capable enough, otherwise my twelfth brother wouldn't be able to..."
Hearing this, Zhu Gui suddenly raised his head and asked with uneasiness: "Fourth brother, what's wrong with twelfth brother?"
"The miserable twelfth brother was forced to burn himself to death by Zhu Yunwen. After his death, he was given the evil posthumous title of King Brute!"
Two lines of tears flowed from the corners of Zhu Di's eyes. He didn't know whether they were sincere or just for show.
When the acting king Zhu Gui heard the bad news, his face turned red with anger.
"Zhu Yunwen!"
"You beast!"
"I, Zhu Gui, are at odds with you!"
Wu Wen was furious for a while, and then Zhu Gui felt better.
Zhu Di immediately took his hand and said solemnly: "Thirteenth brother, come with me into the city quickly and recruit the defenders in the city!"
"Brother Chen understands that everything is controlled by the fourth brother!"
Zhu Gui wisely corrected his attitude, and even showed his willingness to let Zhu Di take the lead.
Zhu Di was overjoyed when he heard this. He immediately ordered someone to bring a horse, and then entered Datong City with Zhu Gui.
This thirteenth brother is much smarter than he expected!
This saves you a lot of trouble.
