Chapter 34: The Emperor Arrives

The troops who came to attack General Tongzhou's Mansion were none other than the one hundred men led by Shuo Dai. He also knew that the main force of Laiyuan Fort was stationed at the General's Mansion. He came here this time, basically with some help.

Of course, he also knew that his mission was extremely sacred. Only by containing the main troops in the city could he buy time for the soldiers who captured the city.

He led a hundred people, but before he could reach the gate of the General's Mansion, he was discovered by patrolling soldiers outside. So he showed his weapons and started fighting. There were only so many patrolling soldiers, and all of them were cut down by the Tatars. Those behind him hurriedly

Shuo Dai went to the General's Mansion to report the news and led his men to follow him to the General's Mansion. Because he caught the guard guard by surprise, he quickly captured the door and rushed in to protect the soldiers while fighting and retreating. As soon as he got around the screen wall, Tong Zhou came

The guards in the command house came out. When the retreating soldiers saw the reinforcements arriving, they were shocked and turned to push forward.

The two sides started fighting in front of the General's Mansion.

Ninety percent of the Tatar soldiers here are Han, and there are only ten Jurchens. It is easy to imagine how effective they are in fighting. Of course, the Tatars without horses are not much different from the Han soldiers. The guards in Tongzhou's house are the four of the other party.

Five times, and the enemy had no horses, so it was obvious how strong and weak they were. In a short time, more than forty Tatar soldiers were killed.

There was a fight here at the General's Mansion. This was a military control area. All the soldiers and horses were living there. How could they not hear any movement? The generals of each battalion immediately led their soldiers and rushed towards this side. When they came to the door of the mansion, they struck this twice.

After being surrounded, the Tatars were left to resist stubbornly. Within a moment, they were all chopped down to the ground. Shuo Dai, the leader, was stubborn, but it was useless to face so many officers and soldiers even if he had the strength to do so. He was shot three times.

After four more knives, he finally fell down.

Tong Zhou knew that these enemies were just side dishes, used by the Tatars to contain him, so after stepping over Shuo Dai's body, he shouted loudly: "The Tatars are now fighting to seize the gate, and we must not let them succeed.

Otherwise, we will die and be buried here. Brothers, please follow me to reinforce the gate and guard the city gate. Chang Qi, you take five hundred people to maintain order at the south gate. No one is allowed to go out and no one is allowed to enter."

"The general will obey the order." Chang Qi was a general. After receiving the general's order, he immediately led 500 people to the south gate.

Tong Zhou led other troops and rushed towards the north gate in a mighty manner. Although Laiyuan Fort was not big, it had many defenders, totaling 8,000 people. Because Wu Sinan and Sima Qiao Yu were both stern people, Liang Zheng

, How dare you go outside Xia Liang? No general dares to take the shortfall, so there are exactly 8,000 soldiers and horses.

The battle at the north gate has reached a fever pitch. Nearly half of the Tatar soldiers were killed or injured, and they are gradually becoming unstoppable. However, the city gate is still unable to be closed and the crowd is so crowded. All the merchants from the Ma Market have arrived and are trying their best to squeeze into the city gate hole.

, but the city gate cave has been packed tightly. To be honest, the Mongolians and officers and soldiers who had started to kill before were no longer able to fight. They huddled together and wanted to attack, but they could only bite them with their teeth

It was at this moment that dust was flying in the distance and the sound of horse hooves was loud. A group of people and horses came over. It was impossible to tell how many people and horses there were. They were tightly wrapped in dust and sand. Looking at it with wide eyes, it was impossible to see.

When the businessmen outside the city gate saw this scene, they were immediately frightened. They knew that the Tatars were coming.

"The Tatars are coming" "Hurry into the city" "If you don't go in, we will be dead"...

Along with the shouting, people outside not only squeezed in, but also began to push hard towards the front city gate. People in the city gate didn't even need to lift their legs to be pushed to the front. It was great. Outside the city gate, plus

There was chaos, and there were many people and strength. The people in the city gate finally came in. The Mongols took advantage of the fire and robbed them, slashing and killing the officers and soldiers with their knives. The ordinary businessmen ran around with their heads in their hands.

At this moment, the Tatars also came to the gate of the camp outside the city. They knew that the camp was full of traps, so they dismounted, took their weapons, and rushed towards the camp.

***************************************************

**

Outside bejng city, the forward general under Yuan Chonghuan was calling the gate. The soldiers on the city immediately ran down, saying that they were reporting to the defender. When he opened the city gate again, the forward general was very happy. The soldier guarding the city was really easy to fool. He only said that he had a purpose.

, and actually went to open the door.

However, after waiting for a while, there was no reply. The city gate was still closed, and even the suspension bridge was not lowered. There was a moat under the city. The moat of Bejng City was very wide, and the cavalry could not fly across it.

Seeing that there was no movement in the city, the general could only shout loudly again: "Why don't you open the city yet? We are going to the capital on orders."

His voice had just settled down when he suddenly heard shouts from the city

"The Emperor has arrived"

As soon as this voice passed, the vanguard general was stunned. Then, he heard noisy shouts from the city, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live"...

The voice of "All the ministers are at home" was not loud. It was obviously made by a young man. Of course, the people below the city could not hear it, but from the city, noisy shouts followed, "Long live thanks"...

Following this shout, you can see from below the city, the dragon flag and the emperor's crown appear on top of the city.

"The emperor is really here" "The emperor is really here"...

When the soldiers under the city saw this posture, they immediately started talking, and they couldn't tell what was going on in their hearts.

The person who went to the city was indeed the current emperor Zhu Cizhen. Beside him were Liu Mingguo, the superintendent of rituals, Cao Huachun of Dongchang, and Zhao Zhi, followed by hundreds of civil and military officials. They were very impressive, but there was no sign of Yue Su.

Zhu Cizhen stood on the city tower and glanced at the Guan Ning cavalry in formation below. He couldn't help but feel flustered. He forced himself to calm down and said, "Where did you get the soldiers and horses from?"

His voice was not too loud and could not be heard clearly by the people in the city. Liu Mingguo, who was standing next to him, quickly raised his voice and shouted loudly: "The emperor is asking you, where did the soldiers and horses come from?"

"I...we are...soldiers and horses from Liaodong..." the vanguard general below the city said rather awkwardly

"Then why don't you kneel down when you see the emperor?" Liu Minggao asked loudly immediately.

"this……"

This time, the general was embarrassed and simply didn’t know how to answer. When they took the oath this morning, Yuan Chonghuan told them that they were here to fight against the rebellion. The current emperor, Li Xin, was the emperor. Moreover, Yuan Chonghuan’s plan was also very

Simple, while the city was being prepared and the city gate was not closed, he suddenly rushed into the city, and then kidnapped the emperor in the Forbidden City, and that was it. However, what was unexpected was that when he arrived at the city gate, the city gate was already closed. He falsely claimed

I came here according to the order, but the emperor is standing on the city. If you say it is the order, whose order are you following?

Not to mention him, even the soldiers around him didn't know what to do. They all looked at each other and wanted to get off their horses and kneel down, but since there was no one who knelt down first, it was really difficult to take the lead.

When Liu Minguo saw people kneeling, he intensified the fire and shouted loudly: "Since you are officers and soldiers of Liaodong, you are also soldiers of the imperial court. Why don't you kneel when you see the emperor? Also, whose order did you follow to come here?"

Do you want to rebel?"

The people below had no temper when asked this question. The rebels had this plan. However, they did not expect to encounter such a situation. At this moment, the city gate was closed, and they could not fly to the city. There was no way to counterattack even if they wanted to.

Ah, it is simply a dilemma. The general leading the troops has no way to answer.

"The troops and horses in Liaodong are all under the command of Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Jiliao. Let me ask you, where is Yuan Chonghuan now?" Seeing that the people below did not answer, Liu Minggao asked loudly again.

"Yuan, Governor Yuan is behind..." With this sentence, the pioneer could barely answer

"Then why don't you tell Yuan Chonghuan? Just say that the emperor is waiting for him in the city and ask him to come over and see you." Liu Minggao shouted again

"Yes, yes..." Pioneer did not dare to say anything and immediately ordered people to go to the back to find Yuan Chonghuan and report to him the situation here.

Yuan Chonghuan led the Chinese army behind. At this moment, he had received a report that the city gate was closed and the moat was blocking the road, so the soldiers and horses could not get through. Yuan Chonghuan was shocked when he received this news. What he was afraid of was that if the sneak attack failed, his soldiers and horses would not be able to attack at all.

When you enter bejng, at that time, you will no longer be a treasonous person, but become a treasonous minister.

Even though he is familiar with the art of war, he also knows that it is impossible for him to win. The only way is to run. But running, no matter where you go, this is the world of the Ming Dynasty. Even the soldiers are soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. The world is vast.

, maybe he regretted that he would never gain a foothold again, but it was too late. He could only look at Prince Fu, who was walking beside him, and said: "Your Majesty, the city gate is closed at this time. Is there anything you can do to break through the city?"

Open the gate and lead the army into the city?"

"This..." When he learned that the city gate was closed, Zhu Yousong was already confused. He did not know how to lead troops. This time he encouraged King Xin and Yuan Chonghuan to rebel with just one breath. Now that he heard the news, that tone was also

It's gone. It's like a deflated rubber ball. I hesitated and couldn't explain why for a long time.

"Why was this good-for-nothing commander so obsessed with believing your words in the first place?" Yuan Chonghuan's teeth were almost broken now, and he wished he could eat King Fu next to him alive.

At this time, a soldier came over on flying horse, came to Yuan Chonghuan's horse, turned over and dismounted, knelt on one knee, and said loudly: "Commander, the emperor is standing at the top of the city, let the commander come forward and speak."

"Ah..." Upon hearing this, Yuan Chonghuan couldn't bear such a blow. He tilted his body and fell off his horse.

When the generals and colonels around him saw the commander fall, they quickly came over to help him.

"Commander" "Commander"...

Yuan Chonghuan fainted because of the rage. After squeezing the person for a while, he came back to life. Yuan Chonghuan now had no strength in his limbs and didn't know what to do. He just murmured: "It's too late to regret, my life is over."

...Sigh...how can I have the face to meet the emperor..." (To be continued)
