Zhu Gaoxu rode his horse up a hill and suddenly felt that the huge roaring noise on the battlefield was louder.
On his left back, an arrow feather was still stuck in the chain mail. The pain from the wound seemed to spread to the entire left half of his body, and he dared not use his left arm. On his chest, because of the two layers of heavy armor, cold-forged lamellar armor and chain mail, two arrows with broken tails were stuck there... One was stuck in the lamellar armor and could not penetrate the heavy armor at all, and the other just injured the skin.
Zhu Gaoxu felt that the most serious injury was the gunshot wound on his chest that penetrated two layers of armor. Although it didn't seem deep, the lead bullet was very dirty and he was afraid of infection. His chest was covered with blood, but it was not his blood, but the blood of the killed government soldiers. The two flesh wounds on his chest did not bleed much, and even the armor could not penetrate.
The atmosphere in the camps of the King of Han's army was completely different from that on the battlefield. Some wounded soldiers had been sent back to the camps, and there were groans of pain everywhere; hearing those cries suddenly made people feel that life was hopeless.If Zhu Gaoxu and others had not just returned from the battlefield, they would probably have mistakenly believed that the Han army had been defeated?Walking on the dirt road, you can hear people crying for their parents all around, it is so miserable.Not many soldiers actually died on the battlefield. The weapons at that time did not have enough penetration, and most soldiers with armor would not be killed directly, but injured. But the truly cruel thing was this! Many injured soldiers would not die immediately, but would slowly wait to die. Doctors simply could not heal those who were too seriously injured.Zhu Gaoxu's previous nervousness and excitement gradually subsided at th
On the evening of November 3rd in the first year of Hongxi (the sixth year of Yongle in the areas controlled by the Han Palace), the Huguang Campaign, which had lasted for more than ten days, finally came to an end.There is a narrow island on the Xiangjiang River to the west of Tanzhou Prefecture. The river from the island to the west bank of the Xiangjiang River is narrow. At this time, there is a raging fire on the water, and many floating bridges have been set on fire! The river on the east side of the island is wider, and many large ships are coming and going, transporting the remnants of the government troops across the river.The island was crowded with people. The army was not in formation, and the chaotic war horses and soldiers filled the land on the island.Some rebel cavalry on the west bank were wandering along the river; but the pontoon bridge was on fire, and they could only watch the chaotic soldiers on the island and could do nothing.
The capital city was shrouded in heavy hurricane rain. From time to time, strong winds blew in the sky, and the pattering rain blew to the eaves of the palace. The countless palaces and towers in the imperial city were all shrouded in hazy rain.The dark clouds that had been overcast for many days in the past few days finally started to rain. It rains continuously.Outside the imperial gate, Yuan Gong, the minister of Taichang Temple, who had put away his umbrella, was suddenly hit by a burst of rain that flew sideways, and his head and face were covered with water. I don't know if he was caught in the rain or because of something else. He was furious and cursed.Yuan Gong used to be a fortune teller, and he himself had a good-looking face, with a square face, fair skin and big ears. But at this moment, his face was distorted by extreme anger, his complexion was pale and blue, and his eyes were bloodshot!There were some ministers around, and their exp
When Yuan Gong walked out of the imperial city, he was still wearing a red round-collared official robe. He put away his umbrella and got into a carriage. At Yuan Gong's command, a group of carriages and horses and ceremonial attendants headed towards Taiping Gate.After the troops walked out of Taiping Gate, Yuan Gong left behind most of his entourage and only a carriage with two people went to Qingshou Temple. When the late emperor personally visited Qingshou Temple, there were not many people, so Yuan Gong naturally would not go to Qingshou Temple to show his official etiquette.He entered Qingshou Temple and lit a stick of incense in the main hall. Then the monk Qingyuan came over and took Yuan Gong to the place where Daoyan was presiding.Monk Qingyuan pushed open a wooden door and clasped his hands together and said, "Master, Yuan Siqing is here.""Come in." Dao Yan's old voice said.Yuan Gong walked in and closed the door behind his back.
Duke of Wei Xu Huizu was certainly not ill, if he was ill it was only a mental illness.As soon as the guests left, he jumped off the bed very swiftly, took off the clothes he was wearing, put on a gray cloth robe, and immediately pinched his nose and walked out of the bedroom full of the smell of medicine.At this moment, a servant suddenly rushed in and said anxiously, "Eunuch Hai Tao is here with a letter!""Damn it!" Xu Huizu cursed in a deep voice, and had to go back to the bedroom and take off the robe he had just put on. Then he lay on the bed, adjusted his posture and movements, and tried not to use the strength of his body.After a while, the eunuch Haitao came in. Xu Huizu struggled to get up from the bed again, exchanged a few words of greeting, and then took a letter from Haitao.Xu Huizu unfolded the letter and saw the handwriting, and he determined that it was not written by a man. As expected, Haitao reminded him, "This was written
The palace of the King of Han in Guizhou Dusi was decorated with lanterns and colorful lights, looking very festive. The invisible haze that had been hanging over the palace seemed to have been swept away.Although it is located in the south, the weather in Guizhou is also very cold in winter. The weather has not been very good recently. It rained with ice particles and the weather suddenly became cold. But all this coldness cannot dampen people's high spirits."Mr. Li" sent people to prepare a celebration banquet to entertain the civil and military officials who guarded Guizhou City in the central hall of the first courtyard of the Hanwang Palace to celebrate the victory. Princess Guo Wei also showed up at the banquet with many palace servants.At this moment, she had just returned to the inner house and was discussing important matters with the wives, eunuchs and palace maids of the palace. However, she was mostly repeating what Mr. Li said, and she sounde
In the city of Chengdu, the Sichuan Provincial Administration, the residence of Mu Sheng was so crowded that the numerous carriages and horses could not move, so people had to walk. Servants carrying boxes and porters carrying loads could be seen everywhere, and the things people were carrying were all tied with red satin, creating a festive atmosphere.Man proposes, God disposes! Seeing this scene, Duan Yang, who was sitting in a corner on the road, sighed in indignation.Her messy hair, her eyes showing hatred and anger, her teeth clenched and made a loud "clack" sound...Last year, Mu Sheng's son Mu Bin died at the hands of Duan Yang! She used Duan Xuehen to trick Mu Bin and others out of the mansion in the capital, and set an ambush to assassinate Mu Bin!Duan Yang's intention in doing this was not only that she could avenge the Mu family, but also that she would have the opportunity to sow discord between the Mu family and the court, so that the M
As the sun gradually set over the horizon west of Hengzhou City in the evening, Zhu Gaoxu left the city and came to the camp of the 50,000 surrendered soldiers under Wang Bin's command.There were more than 100,000 more soldiers in Hengzhou City today, and the barracks left by the government troops in the city were not enough to accommodate them; the army did not have time to arrange more houses that day. So some soldiers set up camp near the parade ground outside the city, including the surrendered soldiers captured after the battle of Baoqing Prefecture.All the generals above the rank of guard commander of these armies were replaced; but the number of surrendered troops was too large, and many of them belonged to the Beijing camp, so they have not been reorganized so far.Zhu Gaoxu suddenly came to the military camp with his guards. Many soldiers around stood up and looked over here.Soon, the convoy carrying pigs, sheep, and wine arrived outside th
