I don't know which dynasty it is, which year, which month, the emperor Lao'er is going to build the city of Beijing, so he made a holy decree: the city gate building should be nine feet and nine high, and the upper floor should be built, and the eaves should be covered like flying. The Minister of Foremen summoned eighty-one contractors (construction factories) in the city to discuss the matter. Eighty-one large carpentry factories have never done such a big project, so they made an appointment with the tile and wood masters to discuss this matter. The minister looked at the drawings and said, "Yes." The emperor looked at the painting and said, "Let's repair it like this." ”

But which one to build first? The minister had the idea to build the gate tower on the east side and north first. The shopkeepers of the eighty-one factories were in favor of this idea, and they knew in their hearts that this city gate was remote, and the emperor would never walk here, even if it looked a little worse, it didn't matter, if the minister of the steward could pay the difference, we would be able to make enough money.

They discussed the city gate to be built, which is the current Dongzhi Gate (Dongzhi Gate was called Chongren Gate in the Yuan Dynasty, which is one of the three gates in the east of Beijing. At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, it was retracted into the north city wall for five miles, and there were two city gates left in the east, and this gate became a gate in the north of the east, and the name was changed to Dongzhi Gate. According to the Dongzhi Gate, the real height is 34 meters. To build this Dongzhimen tower, of course, the arch started, and the arch was up, followed by the first floor of the tower, and the first floor of the tower was up. Twenty-four big nanmu pillars around, surrounded by a four-city tower gate in the middle, the appearance is not ugly, the contractor is happy, and the minister of the foreman is also happy.

It's time to lift the bucket (bucket arch), the bucket is up, how to see how to feel that the northeast corner is a little higher, what to do? The shopkeeper of the contractor's big wood factory, who was full of money, told the foreman: "You are stunned by the rafters, maybe the rafters will be flattened as soon as they are pressed." The foreman was puzzled, and the carpentry master also felt that it was not good, and he wanted to withdraw the size of the bucket, and when he did the bucket, he did it in accordance with the rules, and it was not bad to figure out the reason, so he had to go to the rafters. The rafters are nailed, and then look, the northeast corner is higher, the carpenter is so anxious that he sweats, take a ruler to measure, how to measure it is enough size, the carpenter master can't think of a reason, the foreman can't think of a reason, anyway, the northeast corner is so high, it can't be a tile.

When everyone was in a hurry, they saw a strong worker (small worker), going back and forth around this northeast corner, the carpenter master was annoyed, and the foreman was anxious, and they all drank this strong worker, saying: "Everyone is in a hurry, what are you wandering around!" The strong man didn't even hum, he turned around and went straight to the scaffolding, and he got on the scaffold, and everyone was stunned, only to see that the strong man reached the top of the scaffolding, as if he suddenly lost his foot, and fell off the scaffolding. The people who were watching below couldn't help but shout: "Oh no! "Look, this strong man, did not fall, one foot landed on the rafters in the northeast corner, and then turned around, grabbed the scaffolding and slipped down. The foreman was about to count this strong man, and the carpenter master was also about to count this strong man, only to see this strong man, as soon as he turned around, he got into the crowd and disappeared.

Everyone is wondering about this masterpiece: why did he get on the scaffolding in a daze? Why didn't you fall down? Why didn't you leave without a snort? None of you can guess the truth. At this time, a carpenter master suddenly exclaimed, "Look, why is the northeast corner of the castle tower not high!" "The foreman, carpenter, and bricklayer master hurriedly came over to take a look, isn't it really not high, and there is a footprint on it! Everyone was happy, and when they looked for that strong worker, they couldn't find it. Everyone said: "This strong man must be Lu Banye." ”

The tower was built, but the footprint that went down was never put up. Everyone said: "Leave this monument for Lu Banye." ”

For the redundant city gate of Beijing City, I didn't know which gate could be broken through, but I chose Dongzhi Gate by feeling.

Outside the Dongzhi Gate, the first deployment is being made, for the attack on the city of the Mongols have experience, although the experience is not high, but these years almost invincible, mainly thanks to the rapid mobility of the Mongolian cavalry, which allows the Mongolian army to suddenly form a siege on the enemy's individual cities in a short period of time, and the other party in the defensive position can only divide troops to garrison the cities, so that the Mongolian army can always concentrate the absolute superiority of forces to break through one by one.

At present, he made such an arrangement, this time he brought a lot of cavalry, but it is not easy to capture this kind of Beijing city, so he decided to attack the city with 3,000 soldiers and horses first, once the city gate is opened, and then use the cavalry to rush in, scatter the opponent's strength, and then find the weak place of the opponent, launch an attack, this has always been the best place for the Mongolian cavalry, but also the most powerful place, he believes that he can do the best, and after the other party is defeated, and then blow up, and kill fiercely, in this way, it can deter the enemy, and took the opportunity to destroy the opponent's living force, it can be said that this set of attack methods is the most perfect in his eyes. Let him even have the feeling of immediately capturing Beijing City, but the feeling is a feeling after all, the current attack has not yet been launched, and the victory or defeat is unknown, although he did not put the Ming army left behind in his eyes this time, but after all, there are still a lot of people, in case there is another Shenji battalion, three thousand battalions or something, his more than 10,000 people may not be able to resist, so he is still very careful.

At this time, a war horse galloped over, and he just glanced at it first, then stepped forward and said, "How is it, have you found out?" ”

The man said: "Hui Gongzi's words, the investigation is clear, and the city of Beijing has also made a defense, and there are more than 10,000 people at each city gate, which is comparable to our soldiers and horses!" ”

He also nodded first: "He is not surprised by this result, the Ming army has always paid attention to the number of people in the war, but the real war is only a small number of people, more than 10,000 horses and horses are not to worry, but the strong gate of Beijing City makes him feel a lot of difficulty, you must know that their soldiers and horses come from afar, and the grain and grass are mostly robbed of the people of Beijing City, although they can fight to feed the war, but once the army of the Ming Dynasty returns to Beijing City, hundreds of thousands of troops, or the elite of the Shenji Battalion and the 3,000 Battalion, it will be difficult to deal with, Therefore, he could only capture the city of Beijing before the Ming army returned to the city.

In this way, it is only a few days to decide that his chance to attack the city is only a few days, and he must hurry up to attack this city gate, once the city gate is broken and enters the city, it will be easy to do!

The movement of the Tartars, the Ming army is not ignorant, when they saw the Tartars galloping all over the mountains, Zhang Yong, who was responsible for guarding it, immediately reported it, but he obviously did not expect the Tartars to choose a big cold door, and actually attacked the Dongzhi Gate guarded by himself, this gate is not known compared to other city gates, so there are very few soldiers and horses who choose to attack from here on weekdays, so Zhang Yong is also very happy to be arranged to guard this city gate at the beginning of the period, and even a little lucky, but now he sees a line of murderous Tartars, Zhang Yong only felt that God was really bad for him, and even such an unpopular person could meet Tartar, which made people have a headache.

Zhang Yong's scene was also known clearly through Guò Tanma, and when he learned that this defender general, he galloped away, and his heart became more and more despised by the Ming army, and he was very proud of his choice to attack this city gate, so he immediately ordered the soldiers to prepare to attack the city gate, so as to capture this city gate in one fell swoop, and then take the opportunity to capture Beijing City and recapture Beijing City belonging to the Mongols.

Thinking of this prosperous and glorious Beijing city, thinking that he was the first to walk in, his heart began to shake up, if those golden families knew this result, what kind of face should it be, was it a surprise, or sighed as Genghis Khan's own descendants and guilty, I am afraid that it is both, but also thought of the depths first, suddenly shouted, said: "All the soldiers listen to the order, immediately attack the city gate, and recapture the city of Beijing!" ”

His voice is not loud, but he is powerful, these descendants of Genghis Khan, have long been full of yearning for the glorious city of Beijing, but for so many years, the Mongols have been beaten by an emperor named Zhu Yuanzhang to hide in Tibet, and an emperor named Zhu Di did not dare to think about this former capital, and now this sixteen-year-old son of the Taishi led them all the way north to the city of Beijing. Everyone shouted excitedly: "Kill......?" Then he waved the sword in his hand and rushed forward.

The Ming army guarding the gate saw that the Tartars were violent, and they had recently heard rumors of the inhumane slaughter of the city by the Tartars, and they were all frightened, and they had no idea for a long time, so they could only desperately shoot down the feather arrows.

also looked at the timid Ming army on the city wall a few zhang away, and immediately raised the sky to laugh, laughed and pulled out the Pu knife on his waist, and shouted: "The Ming army is not worried, rush up and kill them, kill them!" "Kill them all!" The attacking Mongol cavalry shouted loudly, and the sound was like thunder.

The Ming army on the city wall became more and more afraid, they kept shooting arrows and shooting with firearms, but these cavalry were no longer the original cavalry, and they had long been on guard against the firearms of the Ming army, and they could always skillfully avoid the shooting of those firearms, so the lethality was not great, looking at the surging Tartars, many timid people simply shouted: "The Tartars are coming, the Tartars are coming?" ”
