People in Zongwu: Starting with the Yin Gui Sect

"The guilty minister Wang Yuanya lost Zunhua and failed to live up to your majesty's trust. Please issue an order to punish me and rectify the law!"

In the Qianqing Palace, as soon as he saw Wu Yu, the governor of Zunhua immediately knelt down and kowtowed to ask for death.

"Your Majesty, you don't have to do this. It is my intention to give up Zunhua. Even if you don't give up, Zunhua will soon be captured by Huang Taiji under such a huge disparity in the strength of the two sides.

Instead of sacrificing in vain, it is better to keep a useful body to welcome the next war. As for the Ministry of War and the Censorate, I will explain it for you."

Looking at Wang Yuanya who was determined to die, Wu Yu felt a headache. Fortunately, he sent someone to watch him in advance and knocked him out at the critical moment. Otherwise, this strong-willed minister might have committed suicide and died for his country at this moment, just like in history.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will not let the Jiannu cross the line again this time!"

Although Your Majesty did not blame him, and even excused himself, Wang Yuanya thought that losing Zunhua City was a huge sin. If he had not stayed to fight the Jiannu to death, he would have committed suicide.

"This is the national hero of my Ming Dynasty!"

Looking at Wang Yuanya's gradually receding back, Wu Yu felt a sense of emotion in his heart.

Does the Ming Dynasty lack loyal ministers and good generals?

The answer is naturally no. In fact, there has never been a shortage of loyal and patriotic people in the Ming Dynasty.

Not to mention those famous and meritorious figures in other periods, even in the end of the dynasty today, there are still a large number of people willing to sacrifice their lives for the Ming Dynasty.

For example, Sun Chuanting, Zhou Yuji, Lu Xiangsheng, Cao Wenzhao, Cao Bianjiao, Zhao Lujiao, Li Banghua, Sun Chengzong, Zhang Weixian, Qin Liangyu, Yuan Keli, and Wang Yuanya who just left, etc., there are too many, all of whom are willing to shed their last drop of blood for the Ming Dynasty.

It's a pity that the Ming Dynasty was doomed at that time. First, it encountered a little ice age that lasted for more than ten years. In addition, Emperor Chongzhen was stubborn and self-righteous, changing his orders every day, and did not trust anyone, so that even with so many loyal ministers and generals, he could not save the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, there were many loyal ministers and generals, but there were also many treacherous ministers and traitors, such as Qian Qianyi, the famous minister of Shuiliang, Wu Sangui who led the Qing army into the pass, Sun Zhixie who proposed to keep his head but not his hair, and Zhu Chunchen, the Duke of Chengguo, who should have died with the country but surrendered the city gate in times of crisis, and even Zhou Kui, the biological father of the queen, chose to surrender to Li Zicheng.

Shaking his head and withdrawing his thoughts, Wu Yu focused all his attention on the map in front of him, and after a while he said to the spy hidden in the dark: "How long will it take for the Jiannu army to reach Beijing?"

The spy said: "Your Majesty, the Jiannu army led by Huang Taiji had set out three days ago, and the scout troops had arrived a day ago and had been wandering around. As for the follow-up large troops, it will take about two days."

Hearing that the Jiannu scout troops had been wandering around, Wu Yu knew that Huang Taiji was worried about an ambush, so he sent people to explore everywhere.

After all, their entry into the pass was too smooth this time. Except for a few days of setbacks in Zunhua City, there was no decent resistance in other places. Huang Taiji couldn't help but think about it.

Wu Yu also thought of this, so he specially asked Lu Xiangsheng and his four troops to be stationed farther away in a way of breaking up the whole into small pieces, and ordered them not to cook during this period, and only to rely on dry food.

In addition, in order to reduce Huang Taiji's vigilance, he also specially asked people to transport 20 red cannons to Zunhua, so that Wang Yuanya could dampen the opponent's spirit while buying time for Liaodong Wang Zaijin. Now it seems that his plan has worked.

"What about Wang Jinglüe? How long will it take to arrive?"

Knowing the movements of Huang Taiji's army, Wu Yu continued to ask about Wang Zaijin's location.

"Your Majesty, Wang Jinglüe will arrive about three days later than Jiannu because the journey is longer."

"Three days!"

Wu Yu nodded. He was not surprised. After all, Jinzhou is much farther from the capital than Zunhua. If Wang Yuanya had not blocked Huang Taiji for a few days, Wang Zaijin would have arrived a few days later.

However, the pressure on the capital is great. Although there are 50,000 people, more than 90% of them are new recruits who have never experienced war. It is still unknown how much combat effectiveness they can exert.

Fortunately, there are new firearms, so there is no need to worry about not being able to defend. It is just that the sacrifice may be a bit high, but there is nothing to be done about it.

Time flies, and the Jiannu army that Wu Yu and his civil and military officials have been waiting for for a long time has finally arrived.

Looking at the nearly endless Jiannu army in the distance, even Wu Yu, who has watched countless war blockbusters in his previous life, couldn't help swallowing.Saliva.

It is said that a force of over 10,000 is like a sea of ​​tides, let alone a Jiannu army of over 70,000. Especially in this kind of immersive situation, the feeling is much more shocking than those movies in later generations.

It is no wonder why even in the world of martial arts, few martial arts masters are willing to appear on the battlefield. This bloody aura alone is enough to offset the power of heaven and earth of any master.

Moreover, any commander must be protected by masters. Once those masters who have lost the power of heaven and earth are trapped in the army and cannot extricate themselves, the result is naturally self-evident.

In addition, Wu Yu also saw that in the sky above the center of the Jiannu army, there was a huge wild boar phantom that kept roaring in the direction of the Forbidden City. No one except him could see it.

Wu Yu knew that the wild boar was the fate of the Jiannu, which was the same as the fate of the Ming Dynasty.

If he guessed correctly, Huang Taiji was right below the wild boar phantom.

In the Jiannu camp on the other side, Huang Taiji, who saw the golden dragon of luck on the city wall, also stood up, because he knew that was where the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was.

That's why the two could see each other even at such a long distance.

"The Khan is here, Chongzhen, are you ready?"

Looking at the young figure on the top of the city, Huang Taiji muttered to himself.

Coincidentally, at this moment, Wu Yu, who was about to turn around and leave, seemed to have heard the other party's muttering.

"Wild boar skin in the barbarian land, this is your burial place."

After saying that, he turned around and left without any reluctance. Although he wanted to stay on the top of the city to watch the army fight, he couldn't do that.

Because he knew that staying on the city wall would only distract the soldiers guarding the city, and only by leaving could they put aside all distractions and fight bravely.

As I said, professional matters should be left to professionals. Since you are not good at military affairs, don't stay here and cause trouble and affect other people's command.
