Chapter 163: Congrats for the supervision of the country
As soon as the reinforcements from Qingtai Gate arrived, Fu Bao's pressure suddenly became lighter. Although the thieves attacked fiercely outside the city, the cannons of the cannons were smashed one by one as if they were not worth it, the soldiers who actually climbed the city did not have the courage to move forward bravely.
With his men and horses, Fu Bao once again drove the thief who had climbed to the city. His heart was full of blood at this time, and his sword had already been replaced. Even the two of them were killed in the close-korshiha, which was enough to see the fierce battle.
He sat down slowly against the city wall, seized the gap that the thief retreated and had not yet attacked again. Fu Bao gasped and looked at the sky. It was almost the end of the day. It would be almost dark if he had to hold on for more than two more hours. When it was dark, the city would basically be kept today.
He was calculating the time in his mind, and estimated how long it would take for the reinforcements in Jinling to arrive. Although Fu Bao knew that with the strength of Hangzhou City, he had little hope to wait until the reinforcements arrived, but this was also hope. After all, it was not? If he could guard for one more day, the greater the hope.
Just as Fu Bao was thinking, he suddenly heard a huge uproar coming from not far away. Fu Bao suddenly stood up and leaned out of the city to look out, but he didn't see the thief who had just retreated attacking him again. Just when he was strange, several people stumbled towards him.
"General... is not good, the general, the rebels have entered the city..."
"What! The thief attacked the city? Where are the thiefs? How could this happen? Which city gate was broken?" Fu Bao's mind buzzed first, then he realized and grabbed the person closest to him and asked.
"Yes... it's Qingtai Sect... the rebels attacked the city from Qingtai Sect..."
"Qingtai Sect? When will the thief attack Qingtai Sect? Why don't you report it early? Didn't Lord He and Lord Zeng garrison at Qingtai Sect? Why did the thief..."
As soon as he said that, Fu Bao was stunned. Logically, although he mobilized the troops of Qingtai Sect, He Xianzu and Zeng Tianci had already led their men over. Even if the thief suddenly attacked Qingtai Sect, it would be impossible for Qingtai Sect to be captured so quickly with the defense ability of Qingtai Sect.
What's more, He Xianzu and Zeng Tianci were in the Qingtai Sect, one was the governor and the other was the prefect. If the situation was critical, how could they not send people to know themselves? But the fact is that the Qingtai Sect was silently taken down by the rebels in such a short time, and there was only one truth.
"He Xianzu! Zeng Tianci! You two bastards!" Fu Bao cursed with red eyes and stuttering.
At this time, the Qingtai Gate had been completely opened. The Ming army, who had been prepared outside the city, rushed into Hangzhou City like a tide, with He Xianzu and Zeng Tianci who took the initiative to open the city gate. The Ming army who entered the city divided into two groups. One was led by He Xianzu into the important roads in the city, and the other was led by Zeng Tianci along the city wall and pounced towards Fengshan Gate and other places.
"The city is broken! Hangzhou city is broken!"
"Kill! Kill the Qing dog! Xing Daming! Kill and kill!"
"Those who kneel down and abandon their weapons will not die! Those who kneel down and abandon their weapons will not die!"
As the Ming army attacked Hangzhou City, waves of shouts rang out in all directions. The entire Hangzhou City fell into great horror from top to bottom since the siege. Now the Ming army has attacked the city, and the Ming army is like a tide can be seen everywhere. At this time, the defenders in the city even had the last trace of courage to defend the city and collapsed across the board.
"General! Let's run! We will protect the general and break through the Genshan Gate. As long as we arrive at Jinling, it will be safe..." Fu Bao's confidant saw that the situation was hopeless, and anxiously persuaded Fu Bao to break through the Genshan Gate while the Ming army had not occupied all of Hangzhou. As long as he ran out, he still had a chance to escape, but Fu Bao shook his head and refused.
"Run? Run to Jinling? The rebels had been ambushing outside the city, so what if they ran out of the city? What's more, as a general in Hangzhou, there are tens of thousands of Eight Banners in Hangzhou. How can I be worthy of the emperor and the Qing Dynasty when I run!"
Two lines of tears slid down from Fu Bao's miserable face. The city of Hangzhou was broken. This was a crime of not war. Fu Bao had done his best. Now that the city of Hangzhou has been broken, Fu Bao could only repay the kindness of the emperor by death and be worthy of his responsibility.
Pushing everyone away with force, Fu Bao first knelt down to the north, then stood up and his blood-stained armor, and then looked into the city of Hangzhou with an angry gaze.
"He Xianzu! Zeng Tianci! You two bastards who are afraid of life and death! Thousand-sword thieves! I'm waiting for you below!" After scolding loudly, Fu Bao turned around and jumped. Before everyone could react, he fell from the high city to the outside of the city. When everyone hurriedly grabbed the city wall and looked out, Fu Bao had already broken his brain under the city...
"General!"
Seeing this, a cry sounded suddenly on the top of the city. As soon as Fu Bao died, the remaining resistance in the city completely disappeared. In just over an hour, all the sects fell into the hands of the Ming army. When night was about to fall, the entire Hangzhou was completely captured.
This battle lasted only two days, with less than 3,000 casualties from the Ming army. Zhu Yicheng was extremely happy. When he came to the Fengshan Gate, which had already opened the city gate and lined up to welcome him, he looked up at the city wall that was still majestic stained by artillery fire and blood, but was still majestic.
Hangzhou finally took it! Zhu Yicheng, who failed to do it back then, took it down, which means that the Ming army completely occupied Zhejiang. Because of Hangzhou's capture of the entire world, it went from passive to active. Next, whether it was going north or west, Zhu Yicheng could be at ease.
"Is this Fu Bao?"
When he saw a corpse covered with white cloth, and there were several crying Eight Banners generals kneeling beside the corpse, Zhu Yicheng asked.
"Returning to the regent, this person is Hangzhou General Fu Bao. He jumped off the city wall and fell to death in despair..." Others whispered the cause of Fu Bao's death. After hearing this, Zhu Yicheng stood silently and looked at the body covering his head with complicated eyes. Fu Bao was indeed a good general and also a loyal minister. It's a pity that he is a man of man. Although both sides are enemies but not friends, Zhu Yicheng still feels extremely regretful about his death.
"I'm so restrained and have a grand funeral!"
After giving an order, Zhu Yicheng withdrew his gaze and continued to head towards the city gate. When he entered the city gate, he saw that among the teams greeted in the city, Liao Huanzhi, who had entered the city one earlier than him, there were two officials wearing Qing court uniforms beside him.
"Hangzhou is broken! I am congratulating the Ming Dynasty! Congratulations to the State Supervisor! Long live the Ming Dynasty! Long live the State Supervisor!"
"Congratulations to the Ming Dynasty! Congratulations to the Supervisor! Long live the Ming Dynasty! Long live the Supervisor!"
When Zhu Yicheng's figure appeared in the city, thunderous congratulations suddenly came from all directions, and everyone's faces were extremely excited and excited. The two people dressed in the Qing court's official costumes seemed even more ecstatic, and even the shouts were a little higher than others.
Chapter completed!
