At the beginning of the civil castle, the Ming God of War was a little panicked

Chapter 255 Is it too late to surrender now?

Outside the imperial city, the sound of shouting and killing shook the sky.

Zheng Fu, Minister of the Ministry of War, personally led people to guard outside the gate, pointed at Li Kechang, and said angrily: "His Royal Highness, I didn't expect you to accept a thief as your father and join the Northern Dynasty?"

Li Kechang had already changed his countenance at this time, and said in a deep voice: "Master Zheng, don't blame me, I just don't want to be buried with the emperor!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Zheng Fu looked up to the sky and laughed, and then said: "You are His Majesty's blood relative, Annan's royal family, if Annan is destroyed, one of your Li clan will go, and all will be buried with Your Majesty!"

Li Kechang shook his head and said: "If I don't surrender, I would have died three days ago. His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty and His Royal Highness King Tan are generous and righteous, and they don't want to increase the killing in vain. They promised us that we only need to capture the emperor and go back." , and survive.”

Zheng Fu sneered and said, "Northern people have always been cunning, do you really trust them? Do you think they will let you go when they capture Annan?"

Li Kechang said: "I have to believe it, because if I don't do anything, I will die after all when Shenglong City is broken. I have no choice!"

Zheng Fu was speechless at these words, it seems... quite reasonable...

No, you traitor, you betrayed the emperor, you betrayed Annan, what reason do you still have to tell me?
"Your Highness is confused!"

Seeing that the force was not easy to use, Zheng Fu shook his head, and began to show emotion and reason.

"The artillery of the Ming army is destructive, why don't they take advantage of the victory to pursue it? That's because they have no ammunition! Shenglong City is impenetrable, and the Ming army has no way to break through the city in a short period of time. That's why they came up with a plan to alienate His Highness. If His Highness knows how to turn back after being lost, and join forces with His Majesty to defend against the enemy, the Ming army will have no supplies, and if they persist for a year or so at most, they will definitely retreat!"

Li Kechang smiled faintly, and said: "Master Zheng is really a loyal person of the country, but it's a pity that Shenglong City still can't be defended. After tonight, there will be no more Annan!"

"What did you say?"

"I mean, the Ming army has enough ammunition to break through the city gate, and it's coming soon!"

"You, you... this is scaremongering, bluffing!"

"Am I alarmist? You will know in a while. Now I want to capture Brother Huang and claim credit before the Ming army arrives. This is my only hope of survival. Since Mr. Zheng is willing to die for the country, then yes Can't stop!"

After finishing speaking, Li Kechang waved his hand, and someone came forward immediately.

"Wait...wait a minute!"

Zheng Fu hurriedly reached out his hand to stop it, and asked, "Your Highness just said that the Ming army still has ammunition?"

"Of course!"

"Since there is ammunition, why not attack the city directly?"

"People said, a cannonball costs 300 taels of silver, so save as much as you can."

Zheng Fu suddenly felt speechless, in order to save money?
How much is a Thang Long City worth?

Now it's not just Shenglong, winning Shenglong is equivalent to winning the entire Annan!
"Your Highness...can you discuss with the Ming Army how much their shells are worth? We will pay you!"

This time it was Li Kechang's turn to be speechless, did he want money?
"Master Zheng, don't be joking. The Ming army is coming soon. I must capture Brother Huang before the city is destroyed. This is my last chance!"

"Wait a moment!"

Zheng Fu frowned and said, "Don't you think about it anymore? What if what the Ming army said is false? What's more, you are now out of the control of the Ming army. If we work together and fight to the death If you fight, you may not lose!"

Li Kechang shook his head and said: "Master Zheng, you are overthinking. Come here, do it!"

Zheng Fu stretched out his hand again: "Wait a minute, wait a little longer!"

After being stopped again and again, Li Kechang became impatient and said angrily: "Now you and I are enemies but not friends, what are you waiting for, let's see the truth!"

Zheng Fu sneered and said: "There are tens of thousands of elite soldiers and generals in Shenglong City, and now there are five thousand elite soldiers standing behind the old man. Are you sure you want to fight, Your Highness?"

Li Kechang waved, and behind him, a person stepped forward.

Zheng Fu looked at him suspiciously. Judging from his attire, he was just an ordinary soldier.

Then, the man felt a black iron lump from his body, and when he pulled it hard, white smoke came out whistling.

Immediately afterwards, he raised his hand and threw the iron lump towards the city gate.

While everyone was staring at the iron lump emitting white smoke, Li Kechang quietly covered his ears.

boom!
The huge explosion sounded in the ears, shaking the eardrums of people.

Zheng Fu was so old that he was suddenly frightened and sat down on the ground with fear in his eyes.

He suddenly understood how these people escaped from the tight guards.

This dark iron lump is as powerful as a cannon!

so horrible!

Li Kechang had already lost his patience and ordered: "Attack!"

"Wait...wait a minute!"

"Zheng Fu, are you finished!"

Li Kechang is about to go crazy, he can fight if he wants to, what are you waiting for?

Zheng Fu stood up tremblingly, and said, "Excuse me, Your Highness, is there really no room for turning around this matter?"

"I beg you, hit it!"

"No... the old man just wanted to ask the last question, is the Ming army really attacking tonight?"

Li Kechang said impatiently: "Of course it is true!"

"That……"

Zheng Fu collected himself and asked, "Is it still too late for the old man to surrender?"

Li Kechang: ...

Behind Zheng Fu, those imperial guards were also stunned.

what's the situation?
Zheng Fu took two steps forward, Li Kechang subconsciously retreated.

"Your Highness, the old man is loyal to you on weekdays, you can't be like this..."

Li Kechang couldn't turn his mind away, and after a long time, he finally said: "If you want to surrender, I have no right to decide, but what the Ming army wants is the result, if Master Zheng can capture the emperor, His Highness King Tan of the Ming Dynasty Be happy, maybe things will be done!"

Zheng Fu didn't even think about it, he turned around and said: "Everyone heard clearly, if you want to survive, the only chance is to capture His Majesty... No, capture the rebel Li Sicheng, what are you waiting for?"

Those imperial guards looked at each other in blank dismay, why did they suddenly change their camp?

Soon, someone said: "As long as you can survive, it doesn't matter what you do, brothers, go!"

"That's right, who is not following!"

"My wife and children are still in Thanh Hoa, don't care about so much, count me in!"

"I am coming too!"

"And I!"

Everyone turned their backs one after another, followed Zheng Fu, and broke into the palace.

Li Kechang scratched his head and thought to himself, is this trying to take credit from me?
Da da da……

There was a rush of hoofbeats, and someone shouted: "Li Kechang, you traitor, I will fight with you!"

Li Kechang could hear the human voice, it was his elder nephew, Prince Li Bin.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he ordered: "Capturing the prince is also a great achievement!"
