Chapter 69 Section Fourteen

"General Zhong!" Seeing that Zhong Yugu was still silent, Wang Rong was so anxious that he burned all his body, he shouted: "General Zhong, no matter what quarrel you have with General Ma, now that the enemy is at hand, you can't just leave him dead what!" Zhong Yugu raised his eyebrows and shouted: "Bold!" Although he is young, he has been promoted very quickly, and now he has been appointed as a general. As the chief general of Dongping City, who would dare to be so rude to him?After drinking, Wang Rong also took a step back, still raised his head and said: "General Zhong, the enemy is attacking Zuofu Fort. Once Zuofu Fort falls, how long will the city be able to defend?"

After losing the Prime Minister's Second Fort, Dongping City opened its doors wide open.Although it cannot be said that there is no defense at all, it is true that defense is more difficult.Zhong Yugu's face was uncertain, and he turned his head to look at Zuofubao.There, the sound of fighting became louder and louder, and Ma Yaoxian must have been engaged in hand-to-hand combat with them.However, with the overwhelming strength of the Republican Army, it has not been able to take down Zuofu Fort until now. It seems that Ma Yaoxian's combat power cannot be underestimated.Since the departure of the Wind Corps, the enemy's air force has also disappeared, and it is likely to have been destroyed by the Wind Corps. If the Zuofu Fort is immediately reinforced, things may turn around...

He was thinking about how to win more with less, the greater contribution to the defeat of the Republican Army, or the greater contribution to the surrender of Kaesong, when suddenly there was another loud noise in his ears, mixed with the exclamation of the soldiers.He was taken aback, and thought that the Republican Army had come to bomb again, but Zuofu Fort was still shrouded in the sound of fighting, and there was no sign of falling.He was wondering if he heard it wrong just now, when a soldier ran over in panic and said, "General Zhong, the overpass has been bombed!" "What!" Both Zhong Yugu and Wang Rong were taken aback.At this time, Zhong Yugu realized that the flyover frame that was still standing on the left side of the city had not lost its direction.He shouted: "What is the reason?"

The soldier was out of breath, took a break and said, "It's a traitor! General Zhong, he's a traitor with only one hand!" Zhong Yugu's heart skipped a beat.Xiao Ziyan said in the morning that there are traitors from the Republican Army in the city, but Xu Hanchuan is not alone. It seems that Xu Hanchuan does have helpers in the city.He said in a deep voice, "Bring it up!" Several soldiers walked over with a man who was tied up heavily.When Zhong Yugu came near, a soldier pushed suddenly and shouted: "Traitor, kneel down!" But the man still stood upright, just looking straight at Zhong Yugu.The soldier hated him for blowing up the overpass, and raised his spear to fight again. Zhong Yugu shouted: "Stop!"

He walked up to the man and looked him up and down.The man's right hand is missing, and only a piece of gauze is wrapped around it.He smiled coldly, and said: "I am Zhong Yugu, the general of the empire, please name me!" This person has a fair complexion, a thin body, and a very handsome appearance. I really didn't expect to be so arrogant. The Republican Army really has a lot of talents.Zhong Yugu thinks he is a very talented person, but seeing this person, he can't help feeling a little heartbroken. The man said: "General Zhong, I have admired you for a long time. Hu Zhongji, the staff officer of the Lower Republic, met General Zhong."

Zhong Yugu stared into his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "How many people like Hu Jun are there in the Republican Army?" Hu Zhongji smiled slightly, and said: "General Zhong is indeed a hero in the world. However, the ancients have said that those who understand current affairs are heroes." Zhong Yugu didn't speak any more, just stared at Hu Zhongji up and down.There was a "clang" on the side, but Wang Rong couldn't wait any longer, pulled out his knife and shouted, "Bastard! I'll kill you!" Wang Rong's saber skills were not impressive either, but Hu Zhongji just stood firmly, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, despite exhausting all his strength.Wang Rong shot out in a rage, but seeing that Hu Zhongji had no fear at all, he couldn't help admiring him, and said to himself, "What a man!" But before his knife fell, a golden light flashed, and his head flew straight up .

It was Zhong Yugu who drew out the golden knife and chopped off Wang Rong's head.The bystanders were taken aback and all screamed.Zhong Yugu's knife was much more skillful than Wang Rong's. He retracted the knife and put it back in its sheath, just as Wang Rong's body fell to the ground, blood had splashed all over Hu Zhongji's body, but Hu Zhongji was still smiling slightly. Zhong Yugu slapped the battlements vigorously, and shouted: "Brothers, the emperor is fatuous and immoral, violated the laws of heaven, and people and gods are all angry. Starting today, I, Zhong Yugu, will join the republic and fulfill the destiny!"

His words were extremely loud, but only some people around him could be heard.But those who heard it were all shocked, and couldn't believe their ears for a while.It is not without precedent for a general to surrender to the enemy, but Zhong Yugu is a famous general after the empire, and he used to always say something like serving the country with his own body, but now he suddenly said that he would join the republic, and this turn was too sudden.For a while, there was no sound around, only the sound of fighting from Zuofu Castle could be heard. Suddenly, a person in Zhong Yugu's pro-army team shouted: "Zhong Yugu, you shameless villain who sells his country and seeks glory, I will never agree!" .However, Zhong Yugu seemed to have been prepared for a long time, and the golden knife came out of its sheath again, and on one side of his body, the golden knife slid along the barrel of the gun after passing the gun head.His saber skills were extremely strong, this saber sounded like lightning and thunder, before the man's long spear could be stabbed, the golden saber cut off three fingers from his right hand along the barrel of the gun.The man let out a miserable cry, and exclaimed: "Zhong..." Just as he uttered a word, Zhong Yugu stretched out his golden knife and cut the throat.

Zhong Yugu killed the soldier, and shouted: "The Republic obeys the destiny and puts the people first. If anyone is obsessed with it, take this as an example!" Other soldiers around him shouted: "Take this as an example!" !" That soldier was Zhong Yugu's trusted deputy commander of the Golden Spear Squad, but Zhong Yugu killed him so simply, those soldiers who were still hesitating in their hearts were also stunned, how dare they say no?Someone in the crowd shouted: "I will follow General Zhong's order and I am willing to vote for the Republican Army!"The voice became louder and louder, and for a while, the city was full of voices of "willing to vote for the Republican Army".

Zhong Yugu's face remained unchanged, and only then did he let go of a stone in his heart.He is familiar with military books and knows the truth that birds do not fly without heads. If he votes for the Republican Army, there will be many soldiers who will not accept it. blatantly opposed.Originally, he also made an agreement with the confidant, and after he deliberately got ahead, he took it down with a thunderous force and suppressed others, but Zhong Yugu temporarily thought that if he didn't kill people to build power, he was afraid that others would not accept him, so he temporarily changed his mind.As the deputy leader of the golden gun squad, the confidant is very skilled in spears. Zhong Yugu may not be able to cure him with a golden knife alone, but that person did not expect that Zhong Yugu would suddenly have the power to kill people. Yi, caught off guard, was beheaded by Zhong Yugu.

Zhong Yugu wiped the blood on the knife, and shouted: "Release Mr. Hu!" The soldiers on both sides dared not answer, and hurried forward to untie the rope on Hu Zhongji's body.At this time, the city was full of shouts, and some loud voices were even scolding the emperor for being unkind and slaughtering heroes. Only the Republican Army can make the world peaceful and the people live and work in peace and contentment.Most of the people with loud voices are incoherent, but those people speak very familiarly. After hearing it, others feel that this is indeed the case. That was the mind-boggling strategy arranged by Hu Zhongji.Zhong Yugu's heart is bright, but his expression remains calm.At this time, Hu Zhongji had already been untied from the rope, and when he got in front of him, he bowed and said: "General Zhong is benevolent and righteous, he puts the people first, he is truly a hero in the world." Zhong Yugu said lightly: "Thank you, Mr. Hu, for pointing me out. How is Mr. Xu?" He had already guessed that Hu Zhongji must have been attracted by Xu Hanchuan.I put Xu Hanchuan under house arrest in the mansion, but I didn't expect that Hu Zhongji could still come to the front of the battle. This man's ability is really formidable. Hu Zhongji said: "Thank you, General Zhong, for your concern. Mr. Xu is still in the mansion, and there is nothing serious." Zhong Yugu smiled slightly, ignored him, and shouted: "Tear down the imperial flag, replace it with a white flag, collect the weapons, and open the city gate! No one can resist!" He had been hesitant before, but now this series of orders has another It means all-powerful. At this time, there was a loud noise from Zuofu Fort, and a burst of flame shot into the sky.The soldiers at the top of the city rushed to the battlements to watch.Although the city has changed its banner now, they were all imperial troops a moment ago, and they cannot remain indifferent to Zuofu Fort anyway.A lieutenant summoned up his courage to come over and said, "General Zhong, do you want to tell General Ma to surrender?" Zhong Yugu glanced at him coldly and said, "General Ma is a loyal minister of the empire." The general said in a low voice, "But...but..." Zhong Yugu said: "Do you also want to be loyal to the empire?" The assistant general was startled, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "I dare not, I will talk too much." He kept scolding himself in his heart. How could I be so ignorant.Standing up and standing on one side, watching the flames on the Zuofu Fort, and the thunderbolts falling from the sky fell on the fort one by one, Ma Yaoxian couldn't help screaming, he couldn't bear to watch anymore. The Republican Army has such a sharp weapon, and its siege power is much greater than that of the Wind Legion. Perhaps it is the best policy to surrender the city.He was shocked and thankful at the same time, but his heart was in pain like a knife, so he didn't dare to say another word. Zhong Yugu looked at Zuofubao where the shouts gradually faded away, his face was still expressionless, and he didn't know what he was thinking.Hu Zhongji stroked his broken right wrist, walked behind him, and said softly: "General Zhong, there is one more thing, please take care of General Zhong." Zhong Yugu turned his head and said, "What's the matter?" "There are still remnants of the Wind Legion in the city. General Zhong, please protect these people and hand them over to our army. The Grand Command attaches great importance to the Wind Legion." The flying machine is a secret to the Republican Army, but it is also a secret to people outside the Wind Corps.There was a strange flash in Zhong Yugu's eyes, he nodded immediately, and said: "Okay..." But he still agreed, and suddenly a general hurried over and said: "General Zhong, the Feng Legion does not obey the general's orders, Don't want to lay down your arms!" Zhong Yugu frowned and glanced at Hu Zhongji, who was also taken aback.Zhong Yugu had thought of this when Xiao Ziyan was about to go to war before, but he didn't expect that the Feng Legion would still go its own way when Xiao Ziyan was not in the city.He shouted loudly: "Golden gun class, silver gun class, follow me!" Zhong Yugu loves to use spears the most, and is also proud of his spear skills. Therefore, his personal army is different from others. They are all guns. There are 20 people in each of the golden gun class and the silver gun class, but there is a secret pain in his heart. , when he was practicing guns in the army, he was defeated by Chu Shuai first, and then by the little prince. No matter how much he practiced, he could not escape the reputation of "the third in the army".The deputy leader of the golden gun squad had already shot him to death, but the golden gun squad was really loyal to him and still followed closely behind.Hu Zhongji was about to follow, when a hand was put on his shoulder suddenly, he turned his head and saw that it was Xu Hanchuan. Xu Hanchuan had already been placed under house arrest by Zhong Yugu's soldiers, so he naturally knew Zhong Yugu's intentions.Earlier, when Hu Zhongji was going to blow up the bridge to fix Zhong Yugu's heart, Xu Hanchuan had been extremely worried that he would be self-defeating. After all the soldiers monitoring his residence had withdrawn, Xu Hanchuan knew that Zhong Yugu had finally made up his mind to sacrifice the city. Only then was he relieved, and hurried to the top of the city.As soon as they arrived at the top of the city, they heard someone report that the Feng Corps did not obey the general's order. Zhong Yugu led the golden gun squad and the silver gun squad to set off, and Hu Zhongji wanted to follow, so he quickly stopped Hu Zhongji.Seeing him, Hu Zhongji said in a low voice, "Mr. Xu, the Feng Legion still refuses to surrender..." Xu Hanchuan also whispered: "Have you mentioned what happened to the Wind Legion?" Hu Zhongji was taken aback, he was extremely smart and immediately understood what Xu Hanchuan meant.Startled: "Did I say something wrong?" Xu Hanchuan nodded and sighed: "Forget it, General Zhong has made up his mind and can't change it." He has followed Zhong Yugu for many years and knows Zhong Yugu's mind.The Republican Army attaches so much importance to the Wind Corps, Zhong Yugu will never let the Wind Corps steal his limelight, and he is ready to kill.Although Zhong Yugu is young, but the depth of the city and the sharpness of the means are really frightening.Now that he has finally made up his mind to dedicate the city, he can only give up the Wind Legion. A trace of pain flashed in Hu Zhongji's eyes, and he sighed: "I killed them!" Although the Wind Corps was the great enemy of the Republican Army, Hu Zhongji also threw one hand into the hands of the Wind Corps, but he really admired the combat power of the Wind Corps in his heart. , I only hope that I can surrender the Wind Legion, but I don't know that things in the world can't have both. The Wind Corps was originally stationed in the city. After Xiao Ziyan and his seven flying planes took off, the rest of the soldiers retreated to the camp.When Zhong Yugu arrived at their station, many defenders of Dongping City had been surrounded outside.These defenders had obeyed General Zhong Yugu's order and turned in their weapons, so they were all bare-handed, and they dared not enter the camp outside the camp.As soon as Zhong Yugu led the crowd over, a general came over and said, "General Zhong, the Feng Legion does not obey orders!" Zhong Yugu ignored him, and stood at the gate of the Fengjun regiment camp, where the golden gun squad and the silver gun squad were lined up.At this time, only Zhong Yugu's personal soldiers were still holding weapons, dozens of yellow and white spears reflected the light of torches, and the cold air was overwhelming.He shouted loudly: "In the Wind Legion, who has the highest rank now?" A soldier of the Wind Legion came to the door with a gun in his hand, and said, "Feng Yicheng, the rank is Corporal Commander, I have met General Zhong." There are no more than forty members of the Wind Legion now, and there are only about thirty of them here, and even the chief is gone, and now probably only this corps chief has the highest rank.Zhong Yugu snorted and said, "What is the third article of the military order?" Feng Yicheng said proudly: "General Zhong, I am a soldier of the Imperial Wind Corps, and I don't know the military order of the rebel army!" The third article of the imperial army's military order is "The military rank is the rank in the army, and the subordinates must not go against the superior, even if they are wrong." ordered.But Feng Yicheng said that he was neither humble nor overbearing, and he was tit for tat, and he no longer recognized Zhong Yugu as the chief. Zhong Yugu snorted and said, "I don't know current affairs, kill me!" He only said one sentence, two people walked out from the golden gun class, rushed to the door, raised their guns and stabbed at Feng Yicheng.This Feng Yicheng waved his spear to block him, but his marksmanship was far inferior to that of the soldiers of the Golden Spear Squad, and he was already in danger after only two moves, but he never retreated. . Zhong Yugu shouted: "Two more!" Two more soldiers of the golden gun squad stepped forward.Zhong Yugu attaches great importance to this soldier team, and he usually trains very strictly. The spear skills of the soldiers in the golden gun class and the silver gun class are among the best in the army. If they shoot four shots at once, how can Feng Yicheng stand in the way? He was shot twice, but he still didn't take half a step back.His shoulder was seriously injured, and he didn't have much strength, but the four golden spear squad soldiers were shocked by his momentum, so they inevitably slowed down their attacks.Suddenly Zhong Yugu shouted: "I count to three, if I don't break through again, I will kill them all!" Those soldiers knew that Zhong Yugu's order would never change, so they tightened their guns tightly, and the four golden guns stabbed out at the same time, piercing into Feng Yicheng's chest almost at the same time.Feng Yicheng let out a miserable cry, fell to the ground on his back, and hissed, "Light it up!" The Golden Spear Squad and the Silver Spear Squad were about to rush in, when suddenly their ears lit up, and with a bang, the roof of the Wind Legion's camp also flew up.The sound was so loud that blood came from the ears that were close to him. Zhong Yugu was caught off guard and fell to the ground.Two soldiers nearby helped him up and shouted: "General Zhong, how is it?" Zhong Yugu stood up and looked at the camp of the Feng Corps.The flames were raging inside, and the smoke was soaring into the sky. Someone probably detonated a mine.Although Zhong Yugu's ears were still buzzing, his heart felt relieved. He knew that the flying plane would be burned if it wasn't blown up.He shouted: "Golden gun class and silver gun class back off, don't take risks!" The gold gun squad and the silver gun squad were going to rush in to rescue them in a rage. After hearing Zhong Yugu's order, several soldiers were so moved that they almost cried, thinking: "General Zhong is really a soldier like a son." But seeing Zhong Yugu Standing straight at the door, he gave a military salute to the imperial army towards the camp, his face still expressionless. A flash of lightning pierced the sky, and there was another sound of Jiao Lei.At this time, the Zuofu Fortress was finally blown to silence, and the Republican Army finally broke through this strong fortress.The vanguard of the siege saw that the gate of Dongping City was wide open and the white flag was hanging on the top of the city, knowing that victory had come.Although they also knew that their troops were superior, they never expected that the victory would come so easily. In just one battle, they captured Dongping City, one of the twelve cities in the empire, with very little loss. They couldn't help being ecstatic and cheered stand up.More than 60,000 voices cheered at the same time, it was really shaking, even the thunder and lightning seemed insignificant.
