How did you, a prisoner on death row, become an important weapon of the country? Yecheng Gao Weiming

But after arriving outside the city gate, the rescue team arriving from Huangling Town was completely dumbfounded.

But the city gate was still closed, and there was no sign of any soldiers on the wall.

Only a dozen soldiers who had been beaten to death lay in front of the city gate, with confusion and confusion on their faces.

They couldn't figure out why they were suddenly caught in the air wave and fell from the city wall dozens of meters high.

"gentlemen!"

A leader of the rescue team shouted urgently behind him.

"The city gate is closed, what should we do?"

Li Xin, Xu Guangqi, and Sun Yuanhua came on horseback, and their hearts sank when they saw the scene in front of them.

Especially Li Xin, he almost fainted from anger again.

Zhu Youjian, Zhu Youjian!

Did you not only deceive me about the gunpowder magazine, but also about spreading rumors?

After I left last night, I closed the city gate again, killing so many people for nothing!

Li Xin couldn't understand Zhu Youxiao's intention in doing this, just like he couldn't understand the saying that one general's success will lead to ten thousand bones drying up.

If his eldest brother could lose his position as emperor without using a knife, why wouldn't Zhu Youjian do it?

"What's wrong! The city gate can't be opened. How can we get in and save people? Should we use artillery to blow up the city gate?"

Xu Guangqi said worriedly, but he also knew that this was impossible.

First of all, everyone came here for rescue, how could they carry something like a red cannon.

Secondly, even if he carries a red cannon, it is still wishful thinking to use it to blast open the gates of Sijiu City.

This door is incredibly thick, and the entire facade is tightly wrapped with lime and iron bars behind the door.

If it could be easily exploded with a red cannon, the Ming Dynasty might have died long ago.

"There are defenders on the city wall... Where are the defenders!"

In desperation, Li Xin asked everyone behind him to be quiet, and then shouted loudly at the top of the city.

Unfortunately, after shouting, there was still no response from the city.

He frowned more and more, and waved his big hand behind him.

The rescue team of 5,000 people and the tomb guarding army of more than 10,000 people immediately roared in unison.

"There are defenders on the city wall! Where are the defenders!"

The sound filled the sky for a while, and even the hard of hearing people couldn't hear it clearly.

really……

A figure slowly emerged from the top of the city, with a look of horror on his face.

"Who are you? Why didn't you follow the order and lead troops into the city!"

As he spoke, several more figures appeared on the top of the city. They were obviously city defenders, but they were all gray-faced and had not yet recovered from the explosion just now.

Li Xin was overjoyed when he saw this, and shouted again: "I am the Taibao of Guanshan by His Majesty, and I am the Taibao of the Crown Prince.

"I was shocked to hear that there was a sudden change in the city, and I came here with reinforcements! Please open the city gate as soon as possible! Make no mistake!"

"Guanshan Taibao? The alchemist Feng Lixin who built the imperial mausoleum, you want to go into the city to save people?"

The city guard was stunned for a moment, and his face suddenly showed a bit of joy, but then he shook his head vigorously.

"Feng Taibao! I don't care why you led the troops into the city, but there is no transfer order. I apologize that it is difficult for me to open the city gate because of my humble position."

"you……"

Li Xin was furious.

What the city had become like, they could see clearly from Tianshou Mountain.

There were corpses everywhere inside, and the devastation was far worse than recorded in history.

The 72 hours from now are the most precious golden time. Every second of delay is a huge sin.

But I didn't expect that I was stuck at the city gate and couldn't enter the city?

The grumpy Sun Yuanhua shouted angrily.

"Chen Eryong! Do you recognize me? Damn it, I didn't expect you to become the city guard Qianzong. Open the door immediately. If you don't open the door, I will chop you alive..."

Mr. Qian, who was guarding the city, was stunned. He squinted his eyes and saw that it was Sun Yuanhua, the deputy under Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Liaodong.

A former artillery expert and the main contributor to the Ningyuan victory.

He, Chen Eryong, had also served as an errand under Governor Yuan, so he naturally recognized this person.

How come you are here now?

But Chen Eryong still shook his head: "It turns out to be Mr. Sun, I'm sorry! This is your humble duty. You must not lead troops into the city without an order!"

"You're so damn..."

Sun Yuanhua cursed loudly, and his whole body was anxious to death.

It's a pity that he didn't understand that the city defender had the same helplessness as the city defender.

If the city is easily opened and people are released, who will bear the responsibility if something goes wrong?

They said they were entering the city for rescue, but what if they took advantage of the chaos in the city and rushed into the palace to kill Emperor Tianqi?

"Mr. Feng, look..."

Sun Yuanhua had no choice but to look at Li Xin helplessly.

Li Xin let out a sigh of relief when he saw this.

Everyone has a responsibility, and there is nothing wrong with the other party not opening the city gate.

But what time is it now?

The fire is still burning, and hundreds of thousands of people in the city are in danger of life or death.

If the delay continues, once the fire is out of control, the entire Forty-Nine City will disappear completely.

"Bring me my blunderbuss..."

Li Xin finally made a decision and suddenly reached back.

"gentlemen……"

"Feng Taibao..."

Xu Guangqi and Sun Yuanhua were stunned.

Why does Feng Lixin want a gun?

Shoot to death Chen Eryong, the general who defends the city?

This is never possible!

Once the city guard is shot to death, let alone whether the fire in the city can be extinguished, even if it is eventually extinguished, how will Feng Lixin deal with himself?

He led troops into the city without authorization, did not obey orders, ignored orders to stop, and even killed the city defenders.

Are you going to rebel?

Xu Guangqi and Sun Yuanhua were afraid that Li Xin would do something stupid, so they tried to stop him.

"Didn't you hear? You haven't brought it yet!"

Li Xin interrupted the two of them and shouted angrily again.

When a personal guard behind him heard this, he had no choice but to hand over the sir's gun with a grimace.

Li Xin took it and put the gun in front of him while riding on the horse.

"Feng Lixin, you...you dare to kill me!"

Chen Eryong was startled when he saw the other party's gun muzzle, and tried to hide in panic.

Unexpectedly!

Before he could escape, an angry shout suddenly sounded behind him.

"Not only Mr. Feng dares to kill you! Mr. Shen also dares to kill you!"

Clang!

Chen Eryong was shocked when he heard this angry shout, and then heard the cold sound of the sword being unsheathed, and then he felt light.

He actually found himself flying high into the sky, and then fell straight down towards the city.

He was instantly filled with fear.

How is this going?

Why did I suddenly fall from the top of the city to the bottom of the city?

dead dead!

Such a high distance would definitely kill me.

Unexpectedly, a second later, he fell to the ground with a bang, but there was no pain as imagined.

Chen Eryong was confused again and rolled twice on the ground. He felt that the loess covered his eyes. He stared at Feng Lixin and others in front of him.

The last question in this life is...

Why have I become so low?

His eyes gradually became heavy, and after he closed his eyes, he no longer had any consciousness.

boom!

The city defenders and everyone under the city were all stunned when they saw this scene.

But when I saw Shen Lian, a thousand households in Fusi, Beizhen, suddenly appeared on top of the city, he beheaded the city guard without saying a word.

Chen Eryong's head shot up into the sky and fell to the ground.

But his body was still standing upright at the top of the city, as if he didn't notice anything!

However, Shen Lian had already swung his sword, pointed it at all the officers and soldiers at the top of the city, and roared fiercely.

"Open! City!"
