Chapter Thirty-Seven(1/2)
"Alas..." Yuan Chonghuan knew that until now, he could not help but say it. He could only say helplessly: "It was also the lower official who was so obsessed with it that he mistakenly believed King Fu's lies, so he led his troops to attack Bejng. He wanted to abolish Long live today.
, what King Lixin said to Emperor Fu Wang was similar to what he just said. Xiaguan was dubious at first and had no intention of agreeing. Just when someone was impeaching Xiaguan for selling military rations to the Tatars without authorization, I thought he was a powerful person in the court.
I framed Xiaguan and was worried that I would have nothing to say, so I took the risk. Of course, the main reason that drove Xiaguan to come to Bejng was because I heard from King Fu that your Excellency left the capital."
"According to what you said, when you marched into Bejng, you planned to make King Xin the emperor?" Yue Su said in a deep voice.
"Exactly" Yuan Chonghuan nodded
"Then does King Xin know about this?" Yue Su asked again
"King Fu said that he followed the king's order and came to see his subordinates," Yuan Chonghuan replied.
"Then I'll ask you again, what did you do when you pretended to be a merchant and destroyed R-Zhao Port?" Yue Su asked again. After all, this kind of thing is not something ordinary people can do. If so, the person who instigated it was Yuan Chonghuan.
It does mean that in the past, Yuan Chonghuan was the governor of Jiliao. He had strong troops and horses. It was not a problem to get a few ships. It should be easy to do a thorough deployment and destroy the rzhao.
"This matter was not done by a lower official," Yuan Chonghuan said
"It's really not you?" Yue Su asked coldly
"I'm really not a lower official," Yuan Chonghuan said sincerely
"This is strange. If it wasn't you, who else could be so generous?" Yue Su couldn't help but wonder, but Yue Su could conclude that this matter is absolutely inseparable from these parties, not you.
Yuan Chonghuan might be King Fu or King Xin
"This subordinate really doesn't know and doesn't dare to speak nonsense," Yuan Chonghuan said
"Okay, come with me to see the saint."
At the moment, Yue Su stopped talking nonsense and mobilized troops and horses to escort Yuan Chonghuan, Zhu Yousong, a group of Liaodong generals and Guan Ning cavalry to the Holy Land below Bejng City.
When they arrived at Deguangqu's gate, everyone knelt down on the ground this time. They saw that the emperor's decree had already been prepared to remove Yuan Chonghuan from the post of Governor of Ji Liao.
The Guan Ning cavalry returned to Liaodong. This time, only the chief culprit was killed, and the others were not punished.
After the decree was announced, the Liaodong soldiers shouted long live. Then Hong Chengchou left the city and led the Guan Ning cavalry to leave immediately and returned to Shanhaiguan. Yuan Chonghuan and Prince Fu were escorted into the capital.
After all, Prince Fu was the prince of the clan, and it was inconvenient for Yue Su to try him in person. Moreover, this guy was full of nonsense, which was not good for others to listen to, so he was handed over to Dongchang for trial. As for Yuan Chonghuan, he was imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.
Yuan Chonghuan's confession has been found out. Since he was to support King Xin as emperor, it must have something to do with King Xin. The imperial court issued a decree and ordered Dongchang to go to Dengzhou to liberate King Xin Zhu Youjian.

*****
Hauge's yellow flag had arrived at Laiyuan Fort and saw that the city gate had not yet been closed and that there were people everywhere. He was overjoyed and ordered his warriors to dismount and rush forward. There were traps everywhere in the camp. At least they were definitely not possible.
, the infantry rushed in. Although it was slower, it was safe after all. And judging from the way the city gate was blocked, it is estimated that the city gate would not be closed even if the infantry arrived.
When the merchants outside the city saw the Tatar soldiers arriving, they rushed to the city desperately. The Tatar soldiers inside the city knew that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. As long as they persisted for a while, reinforcements would be able to enter the city. So,
All of them are exceptionally brave and fight to the death
Tong Zhou has already arrived with his troops and horses. Although he has brought many troops and horses, they are still too far away from the city gate and cannot use the strength. They can only fight outside and kill all the Tatars who have sneaked in. They are in the city.
They were busy killing the Tatars. The enemy was outnumbered and we were greatly disparity in strength. How could the Tatars resist? It didn’t take a while. The Tatar soldiers who came in to seize the door were basically killed. Tong Tu Lai, Tian Gang and other Han peoplejn
, all died in this battle
However, their sacrifice gave time to the Tatar soldiers outside the city. Haug's soldiers finally rushed outside the city and began to kill the merchants outside the city crazily, forcing the merchants to fight desperately to the city gate.
Li Chong Tongzhou and Li Haoquan couldn't care less. They mobilized the soldiers to kill the merchants who came in.
In the bloody massacre, the merchants caught in the middle became victims. The Tatars had no sympathy for them. Although the officers and soldiers sympathized with them, there was nothing they could do about it. Tong Zhou and the others knew that if merchants like Fang came in, the Tatars would follow.
The merchants who rush in will disrupt their position. If the Tatars take advantage of the situation, how can they resist? If the Tatars are allowed to enter the city, then not only these merchants will die, but the entire Laiyuan Fort will be massacred.
Clean, the Tatars will even continue to invade the Central Plains, and many people will die.
The fighting below the city was fierce. Of course, the soldiers on the city couldn't be idle. They held their bows and arrows and kept shooting at the Tatars. They didn't bring any attacking equipment. Of course, there were traps everywhere outside the city, and there were siege weapons.
There is no way to move the equipment this way. The most you can do is raise your shield to block it.
Laiyuanbao is a border pass, and of course there are cannons on the city. At this moment, the cannons have also been launched, and the artillery fire is continuous. The only Tatars they are attacking are crying for their fathers and mothers. The road outside is difficult, and the Tatars are rushing this way. They are originally slow.
The cannon's attack further slowed down the Tatar attack.
As a cavalryman who has grown up on horseback for a long time, fighting without a horse is no different from missing a leg. Even the Tatar soldiers who have rushed into the city gate don't have much advantage when fighting the Ming army.
However, there were many soldiers in the Ming Dynasty, and they went forward one after another, leaving many corpses of the Tatars.
Hauge, who was commanding on the opposite side, could see clearly. He clearly understood at this moment that if he lost this opportunity, he would never have another chance. If his warriors don't ride horses, there will be no big battle, and there is no way they can attack the city. If they fight like this again
Yes, the soldiers who have poured into the city gate can be beaten out. As soon as the city gate is closed, the mission will end in failure.
This time, I can't lose. My father's main force will arrive in three hours. If the city gate has been recaptured by the Ming army when my father's army arrives, how can I have the face to see my father?
Finally, Haug issued a cruel order
"No need to dismount, just rush in like this."
"Ah..." After hearing this, the Tatar soldiers couldn't believe that there were pits in front of their ears, and there were some pits that were clearly exposed to their eyes due to the bombardment of the artillery, so they just rode and charged.
, and we all have to fall into the pit.
"Didn't you hear my order? Even if you fill it with corpses, you have to fill it with me," Haug shouted loudly.
At this moment, the soldiers all understood what he meant. According to the situation at hand, if they dismount and rush forward slowly, the final outcome will definitely be failure, and the people who get up will also die. Perhaps this is the only way to rush forward.
Go to town
There are still many warriors among the Tatars, and they are very tough and have a high degree of execution of orders. Since the prince has given the order, there is no need to say anything else. The Tatar soldiers in front gritted their teeth and rushed forward directly. Next
"Thump" "thump", the sound of men and horses falling into the trap resounded in the ears, people yelled and horses neighed, and screams abounded.
However, the Tatars were also smart. They did not disperse the charge, but only charged along one route. The people behind them stepped on the people and horses they met, and moved forward one after another.
When the soldiers guarding the city saw the Tatars acting like this, they immediately guessed the opponent's intentions. The guerrilla general under his command quickly shouted into the city: "General Tong, the Tatars are desperate for their lives now. Hurry up and close the city gate, or else they will die."
It’s too late”
Of course Tong Zhou wanted to close the city gate, but the city gate cave was full of people. Although it was estimated that two-thirds of them were his own people, the Tatar soldiers standing there would rather die than retreat. Tong Zhou was worried, but
I couldn't think of a way to do it. At this moment, shouts rang out from the street behind.
"The reinforcements from the Governor's Palace have arrived, please give way."
The sound was loud, as if it was shouted from the mouths of hundreds of people. Tong Zhou's soldiers turned around to look. At one glance, they couldn't help being frightened. They quickly ducked aside, and at the same time shouted loudly: "Get out of here!"
"
The officers and soldiers could clearly see that a large vehicle was rushing towards them at this moment. This large vehicle had an iron spear thrust out from the front of the vehicle. The car body was burning with fire. The fire was so fierce that they could not see the scene behind it.
Come here quickly, the officers and soldiers were so frightened that they ran away to both sides. Tong Zhou and Li Haoquan were also startled, thinking they were Tatar undercover agents in the city.
Fortunately, voices continued to sound from behind the car, "Get out of the way, get out of the way, we are the escort of Governor Wu Sinan, and our wife is here too."
After hearing this, Tong Zhou and others were also dubious. However, the big car covered with fire was so terrifying that the soldiers had to move aside. Everyone dodged almost at the same time to let the city gate open. Even the soldiers at the city gate saw it.
In this scene, they also exited one after another, or dodged to both sides.
The fire cart finally came over. Although there were many corpses on the ground, the cart still ran over the corpses. The figures behind the cart could also be seen. There were more than 20 people riding the cart, and hundreds of people were following behind the cart.
people
Among the hundreds of people, two people ran out first. One of them was a weak scholar. Next to the scholar, there was a young man wearing servant clothes.
"General Tong, this is the order from the Governor's Mansion. Please read it." The young servant was Wu An, Wu Sinan's personal attendant. He took the order and rushed towards the officers and soldiers.
When the children in the team heard the shouts, they rushed out to greet them. When they saw the big order, they understood. Besides, the big car, in the hurry of everyone, roared into the city gate hole. There was a mixture of enemies and ourselves in the city gate hole.
Our own people could only dodge to one side when they saw it. The Tatars on the opposite side who were too late to hide were immediately killed. The same was true. Even in front of the miserable fire chariot, they were all covered with iron spears. They were pierced by the iron spears and died immediately.
Suspected to have been hit by the wall of the car, his clothes immediately caught fire, causing the person to roll on the ground.
The cart was invincible and went straight out of the city gate. At this time, Hauge's troops and horses had filled the ditch. The people behind were rushing towards the men who were approaching the cart. However, they did not rush and lifted the cart. The burning fire inside
All the red charcoal was scattered out, making it impossible for people to get close to these people, so they retreated into the city and closed the city gate.
"Bang"
The Tatar came to the door. Because he was rushing too fast, the horse stepped on the charcoal fire, screamed in pain, and ran around like crazy. No matter how good the Tatar's riding skills were, he was knocked down.
The city gate was finally closed, and the soldiers on the city cheered for joy, but they knew that this was just the beginning of the war. Tong Zhou immediately ordered the soldiers to look for bricks and tiles to seal the city gate. The soldiers on the city kept firing their bows.
Arrow, the Tatars outside the city are running away with their lives. Once the city gate is closed, they are doomed. They will never have any chance.
Hauge looked at the closed city gate and was furious. He howled "Aoao" for just a while. He lost thousands of warriors, but in the end, he got nothing.
"My lord, there is nothing we can do now that the matter has come to this. The general believes that we can only set up camp first and wait for the Khan's reinforcements." Sony on the side saw that Hauge was going crazy and could only give cautious advice.
"Set up camp... Set up camp... We didn't bring any camping supplies. I thought we could stay at Laiyuan Fort tonight, but I didn't expect... How could I go to see my father..."
