"Father! Father! Let's go quickly! We can no longer hold the front!"
Wang Qi still wanted to fight to the death at the top of the city, but the Jin army had no intention of fighting for a long time. Under the fierce bombardment of the enemy's firearms, they were completely defeated. They could no longer organize an effective counterattack and had to fight and retreat.
Under the desperate resistance of his own soldiers, he was not shot by the enemy, and escaped from the chaotic rout. With great difficulty, he returned to the palace of Prince Dai, which is now the palace of the "Taizu of the former Jin Dynasty".
After Wang Pu supported the army and established himself, he took a fancy to the palace of Zhu Chuanzuo, the king of the Ming Dynasty. The palace of the emperor had a palace, a temple, a first floor, two altars and eight halls.
The entire mansion is located on the right side of Wuding Street in the central area of Datong City. It faces north and faces south. The buildings are majestic and magnificent, with palaces scattered around and winding corridors. It is surrounded by tall walls, adding to its majestic and domineering appearance.
The famous Nine Dragon Wall is built in the mansion, with nine glazed dragons of different shapes carved on it. Some are playing with waves and playing with pearls, or some are swallowing clouds and spitting mist. They are lifelike, vivid and extraordinary, and even rare treasures. Wang Pu also admires this. There are plus.
When handling major military affairs here, you can feel the supreme and noble imperial demeanor. Wang Pu did not kill Dai Wang's family, but drove them out of the mansion and guarded them in a nearby courtyard for emergencies.
The astonishing wealth accumulated by successive kings was used by Wang Pu as military pay, but he did not distribute it to the soldiers. Instead, he kept the data as his own and still kept it in the palace.
"How can you behave in such a panic? You must call me your father!"
Wang Pu's dream of being an emperor was disturbed by his son, and he was very unhappy. Now that he was protected by the Nine Dragon Wall, he would be able to turn the danger into good, so he scolded him.
"I am reporting to my father that the enemy army has already broken through the city. We may not be able to defeat our army. I hope that my father will make plans in advance. I will gather my troops and horses to cover my father's charge out of the city!"
At this point, the soldiers had been killed by the enemy and fled in all directions. Wang Qi no longer had the confidence and confidence to defend Datong City. In order not to be captured by the enemy, he had to resort to a trick.
"The enemy troops retreated just now, why is this happening now?"
This battle report was very different from what Wang Pu had learned before. When he heard that the enemy troops had withdrawn outside the moat, Wang Pu thought that the Ming army had been repelled and they did not dare to come back for a long time.
Unexpectedly, less than half an hour later, the Baoming army captured Wengcheng and entered the city. Without the city wall as a barrier, it would be difficult for the former Jin Dynasty King's Division to withstand Baoming's fierce attack.
Wang Pu also knew the combat power of his men well, and it was okay for them to hold on to the city. Once the city fell and they had to fight hand-to-hand, his troops would not resist bravely and would most likely flee.
"Father, just now the enemy army pushed the artillery cart up to Heyang Gate and bombarded our army. The soldiers suffered heavy casualties and were unable to defeat the enemy. Then..."
Wang Qi did not dare to say that the troops under his command were shot and dispersed, but in fact, this was the case. Even his father was supervising the battle at the scene. Facing that kind of irresistible thunder blow, I am afraid it would be difficult for him to do so. Turn the tide.
"That's it! Quickly gather your troops and horses, order your own soldiers to load gold, silver and jewelry, and ask Dai Wang and his family to follow me out of the north of the city to hunt!"
Seeing that the situation was irreversible, Wang Pu had to accept the result, but before leaving, he had to take the family property of Dai Wang with him. That was the capital for his comeback. And instead of admitting defeat, he led his army to hunt north.
I haven't decided where to go yet, but I need to rush out first. As long as I can get out of the border, I can sit back and relax. When I get to Monan, it is a place beyond the reach of the Ming Dynasty. After getting Huang Taiji's help, I can go south to recover this place. "The former capital of the Jin Dynasty".
"Boom~!"
As the sound of the explosion became clearer, Wang Pu also realized that the situation was not good. If he ran slower, he might become a prisoner of Yang Wenyue.
First, he disobeyed the decree and returned to his base on his own. Then he established himself as king and committed rebellion. Such misdeeds would result in the whole family being executed by Ling Chi.
Wang Pu also wanted to continue to be the "Emperor Taizu of the former Jin Dynasty" and wait until a few years later to pass the throne to his son depending on the situation, making Wang Qi the "Emperor Taizong of the former Jin Dynasty". If Guo Zuo could continue, he would pass it on to his grandson...
As long as he is not defeated and dies, then wherever he is, he is the "Former Jin", and as long as he has the help of the "Master of the Qing Dynasty", Baoming wants to destroy his "Former Jin" in one fell swoop.
Wang Pu wanted to make the "Pre-Jin Empire" that he had built by himself become a country in one day and last for generations to come!
No matter what, his "previous Jin" was much longer than Shi Jingtang's later Jin which only lasted eleven years.
If you can't gain a foothold in the pass, you can rebuild the "Pre-Jin Dynasty" in Monan. In short, you can't let Prince Gou's violent Ming Dynasty have an easy time!
"Come on! The palace is ahead!"
On one side of the intersection of Heyang Street and Wuding Street is Dai Wangfu, which occupies an entire block. Even if you are illiterate, you can confirm it just by looking at the tall buildings in the courtyard from a distance.
Since the rebels ran away much faster than the pursuers, the soldiers of the counter-rebellion army, under the command of Mr. Qian and Mr. General, quickly approached the main front gate of Prince Dai's Mansion - Yumen!
The soldiers stationed here saw the enemy troops approaching, and most of their own people were not interested in fighting. They did not dare to go out to fight easily, so they hurriedly closed the heavy door.
"Brothers! Surround this place first! Don't let the dog thief Wang Pu escape!"
Without heavy weapons, it was impossible to knock on the door of the palace with just the bows, arrows and muskets in their hands. The captains had no choice but to let their soldiers surround the palace and wait for reinforcements to arrive.
With the silver reward so close at hand, everyone will naturally not slack off. They must not let the priceless Wang Pu escape in the chaos, otherwise they will not be able to drink, eat meat, and play with women.
Yang Wenyue had ordered the generals in advance that after breaking the city, they would first seal the city gates, and then occupy the palace, government offices and shops. It was strictly forbidden to loot the people. Once verified, they would be severely punished.
Therefore, in the opinion of the guerrillas and generals below, instead of risking their heads to rob poor people, it is better to capture the thief first and capture the king first, then go straight to the palace of Prince Dai and give Wang Pu, a thief, a Serve in one pot.
As long as Wang Pu is captured, it will be easy to get promoted and make a fortune. At the same time, he can get some benefits from it. It is estimated that no one will report it, because everyone is thinking of doing this.
After fighting all the way and arriving at the destination, everyone discovered that this generation of Wangfu was not that easy to fight. Without the support of firecrackers, it was very difficult to charge with infantry alone.
"Quick! Hide!"
The dozen soldiers exposed in the open space were quickly killed by the thieves lying on the wall with crossbows and muskets. The captains also realized that this kind of strong attack without bunkers would not achieve any effect, so they had to let their men temporarily Avoid for a while.
The only ones who could still resist at this time were Wang Pu's carefully raised soldiers. Even at a critical moment of life and death, they would not surrender easily. They set up ladders in the mansion, lay down on the wall, and attacked the enemies outside from a high position.
Although the morale of the counter-rebellion army was high, they also wanted to rush into the mansion as soon as possible, but they did not have heavy weapons at hand, and they could not attack the rebels who were protected by tall walls at the moment, so the two sides ended up in a stalemate.
This gave Wang Pu, who was extremely anxious, precious precious time to retreat. The gold and silver jewelry that had already been packed in boxes were immediately loaded onto the truck and quickly transported out of the front and rear doors of the palace.
The counter-rebellion army that had just rushed here was very small, with only more than a hundred people. Facing the strong combat effectiveness of Wang Pu's personal guards, they were completely unable to stop the impact of the convoy, and only killed more than a dozen rebel soldiers.
"Quick! Don't be reluctant to fight! Follow me and kill!"
Wang Qi led nearly a hundred soldiers to clear the way in front. As long as he could fight his way out of Wudingmen first, the enemy would not catch the turtle in a jar.
The accompanying personal guards are not just ordinary people, they are all servants who can fight to the death, and they are definitely not comparable to those useless trash.
It is said that no trace of the enemy has been found near the north of the city. If there is no ambush, it will not be difficult for our troops to work together and break out of the encirclement.
The only concern is that there are weak women in the convoy, and swords and guns have always been blind. If something unexpected happens, they have to resign themselves to fate.
"Hurry up and chase! The dog thief king Pu Xiu is leaving!"
The counter-rebellion army was the first to enter the city. Most of them were infantry, while Wang Pu's convoy was all cavalry and horse-drawn carriages. The two sides were different in speed.
Even if the pursuers behind him kept shouting, Wang Pu, who was concentrating on running away, would not look back and just focus on leading everyone out of Wudingmen.
The more than a thousand "former Jin" soldiers guarding Wuding Gate did not want to be captured without mercy. When they saw "Taizu Yujia personally marching", they immediately opened the city gate and ran away with their master.
In addition to the defeated troops in the city, Wang Pu still had no less than 2,000 troops when he escaped from Wudingmen, but the size of his troops was greatly reduced compared to before the war.
"When the soldiers follow me out of the pass, they will receive a hundred taels of silver. When they arrive outside the pass, I will reward each of them with a woman!"
Wang Pu also waited for the opportunity to use money to stimulate the fighting spirit of his men. Anyway, they would be chased and intercepted by the Ming army on the road. In the end, there would definitely not be so many people who could get out, so there would be much less money to reward.
As for women, you can rob them, and whatever you can get is fine. If you can't get it, buy it. In short, as long as it can win people's hearts and let the "former Jin" gain a foothold outside the customs, any method can be used.
The two thousand men and horses were very large, and the smoke and dust they raised quickly attracted the attention of the surrounding scouts. Shortly after the signal flares rose into the air, a group of elite cavalry came up from the east and west sides to cover them up.
The cavalry on the right was commanded by He Zan, the commander of the Beijing camp, and Qianhu Hecheng, the deputy of Baoding. The two brothers were both sons of the famous general He Huchen. Since He Zan participated in the rebellion of the Beijing camp, although he was later defeated, he still had to make up for it twice to offset the previous defeat. Guilt.
Both of them were cavalry, so they did not participate in the siege. They were only responsible for supervising the enemies who rushed out of the city in the field. Unexpectedly, they were very lucky today, and they should be proud of their brothers.
The left cavalry was commanded by Gao Jie's deputy general Li Chengdong. The number of troops was about a thousand, which was comparable to the number of troops led by the He Shi brothers. They were all soldiers who participated in the counter-rebellion in the capital. After receiving the silver reward, they regarded the cavalry as "leaders". Reward for a second battle."
Half of Commander-in-Chief Gao Jie's men were poor Shaanxi soldiers. After being recruited, they came to serve the king. After seeing the strength of the prince's reward, they became more willing to work for the court. As long as there was money to get, they could go all the way. Punch and punch.
"Come on!"
"Give them all to me!"
"Wang Pu is close at hand!"
"Catch the dog thief and receive the reward!"
In the eyes of the soldiers who are eager to drink, eat meat, and play with women, Wang Pu is nothing more than a huge silver mountain and the greatest guarantee for them to enjoy life.
As long as Wang Pu is captured, it will mean that he will not have to worry about food and drink for the next half month, and there will be a warm and comfortable body in his arms to play with. It couldn't be more beautiful.
At the thought of this, everyone's blood suddenly surged, their morale was high, and they shouted vague slogans, and everyone galloped towards the target at high speed.
When he was less than a hundred meters away from him, he drew his bow and arrows and fired his arrows. Even though his boss wanted Wang Pu alive, if he was shot to death in the chaos, it would have nothing to do with him.
No matter what, we must capture Wang Pu first. Even if he is dead, he is still valuable. He can receive a lot of silver reward, which is much better than letting this guy escape.
Although there was no tacit understanding between the two groups and there was no communication during the pursuit, they invisibly launched a pincer offensive against Wang Pu's convoy.
There were many carriages in the convoy, some carrying women and children, and some carrying gold, silver and jewelry. Even if they were traveling at full speed, their speed was far slower than that of the elite cavalry chasing behind them.
The frightened family members used their fingertips to lift the curtains of the car windows, and they could see that from time to time, the accompanying soldiers were shot to death by enemy arrows, falling from their horses to the ground, and the scene was full of misery.
In addition, some arrows were shot directly on the wooden carriage, even grazing their heads and flying quickly, which frightened everyone into despair and panic.
But in the eyes of the pursuers, these thieves followed Wang Pu, established their own clan, and betrayed the imperial court. Now they were shot on the spot. They brought all the blame on themselves, and it was not a pity to die.
"Damn it! Throw King Dai out and block the road!"
Wang Pu saw that the pursuers had already grabbed the tail of the convoy and that his own troops were being attacked from both sides. A hard fight was almost inevitable, so he took out the shields he had prepared in advance.
The sufferer was the acting king Zhu Chuanzuo. He was first raised as a pig by the emperor, and then used as a roadblock by the rebellious generals. It can be described as a completely contrasting life.
"Don't...I beg you! Don't do this~!"
At present, the carriage was running fast, with a large number of pursuers behind him. If he was thrown out of the carriage, he would be trampled to death by the horses if he was not thrown to death. Zhu Chuanzuo was so frightened that he shed tears and begged Wang Pu for mercy, hoping that the other party would be lenient. , spare your life.
"It was forced by the situation. No wonder I threw it down!"
Wang Pu had no sympathy or mercy for Dai Wang. He had been stationed in Datong for a long time, and the court had been in arrears with pay, and the soldiers were miserable. However, Dai Wang was intoxicated and feasting in his mansion.
This kind of vassal king is the root cause of his unpopularity, and there are dozens of them in the world, and together with their families, there are no less than hundreds of thousands of people. Today, they must do justice for heaven and eliminate harm for Min.
"This is the acting king! Don't let anyone get hurt!"
Wang Pu also warned the people behind him in a very loud voice that if they rode their horses and trampled the king to death, it would be a heinous crime.
The strong soldier grabbed Dai Wang by the collar, threw him with all his strength, and threw the Ming vassal king out like a dog regardless of his life-threatening struggle.
"ah……"
Zhu Chuanzuo flew down from the car, accompanied by a scream in the air, and immediately rolled quickly on the ground, rolling more than a dozen somersaults in a row. Miraculously, he was not stepped on by the horses chasing behind him.
"Damn it! Throw it again!"
When Wang Pu saw that King Dai was so lucky and nothing happened except that he was thrown into a trap, Wang Pu felt extremely angry and immediately ordered his soldiers to throw all the concubines, sons, and daughters of King Dai out of the car.
