"Xiao Rou, go and tell Wei Guo that he will take the opportunity of the three thousand battalions of soldiers and horses to take advantage of the flames to block the enemy, and organize the soldiers to close the door! After closing the city gates, they were temporarily stationed under the city gates, and returned to camp after dawn. In addition, let the eldest brother bring people up to the city wall to assist Fangshan. ”

"Good!" Luo Rou immediately ran to Wei Guo, and soon returned with Xue'er.

"Brother Prince, are you alright?" Cher didn't bother to wipe the blood on her face, and took my hand and asked with concern.

"It's okay, it's much better!" I cut her hair with my hand and carefully wiped the blood off her face: "It's not hurt, is it?" ”

"No, how did these little shrimps hurt Xue'er!" Cher saw that there seemed to be nothing wrong with me, and her mood immediately improved.

"There shouldn't be anything going on here, there is big brother, Weiguo, and Fangshan, the rebels are destined to return tonight, let's go back to Zhengyangmen!" There is only Cai Mingbo there, I am not very relieved! ”

Luo Rou and Xue'er naturally have no problem, although on the surface I don't seem to have anything, but they can easily see that I am just strong on the outside.

After instructing Fang Shan and Hou Zhi, he immediately went to Zhengyangmen under the escort of Wei Dayong and dozens of Wuyi League brothers.

When I returned to Zhengyangmen, the sound of tearing and killing that had resounded in the middle of the night gradually fell silent. Obviously, King Cheng understood that he had missed the opportunity, and it would not be too cheap to fight any longer, so he had to give the order to stop the army for the time being.

Back in the city tower, I took a pen and wrote a warrant, because the commander of Fuchengmen was killed, and ordered Hou Zhi to take over as the commander-in-chief of Fuchengmen, and was fully responsible for the operation of Fuchengmen. Considering Hou Zhi's lack of experience, coupled with the battle tonight, Fuchengmen suffered heavy losses and was in great need of support, so he ordered Fangshan and the soldiers and horses led by him not to return to the building, and stayed in Fuchengmen to assist Hou Zhi. Then he wrote an excerpt to explain this matter, and also made the emperor and the Manchu Dynasty civil and military feel at ease for the time being, and the capital is safe!

After ordering someone to send the excerpt and the warrant to the palace and Fuchengmen respectively, his body finally relaxed, and the wound on his chest suddenly began to cause trouble.

I sighed, and in order not to worry Luo Rou and Xue'er, I only said that I wanted to meditate and let them go and rest first.

spent the second half of the night meditating, and Luo Rou and Xue'er, who were hugging each other and lying on the bed, didn't close their eyes all night......

After a night of fierce fighting, the rebels lost 16,000 or 7,000 soldiers, not counting the inside of the city, and the losses were heavy. Because the attack came very suddenly, the guard was caught off guard, and the battle was hastily responded, and the losses were also very heavy, after an overnight count, from the Fuchengmen main general Qin Bin and below, only as many as 3,000 people were killed. If calculated by the ratio of the total strength of the two armies, the battle losses of our army are far higher than those of the rebels, which can be described as a crushing victory!

The next day, I got another news that I was afraid of myself, at the last night, when the rebels entered the palace in Beijing, they even sent hundreds of people to attack Xue'er's house at night, fortunately I was prepared, and transferred the brothers of the Wuyi League to strengthen the defense, and there are first-class masters such as Jiekong and Xu Bo at home, and Zhou Ping and his wife are not busy, and Tian Yunxin and Xiaoxuan's martial arts are also progressing well, and the rebels went to attack without knowing the truth, and they were wiped out in less than half an hour!

Having said that, it was normal for a few thousand stragglers to dare to attack the palace, and it was really normal for them to attack Xue'er's house without investigation. They did not expect to succeed in the first place, they only wanted to distract the defenders, so as to create conditions for the main forces besieging the city, for which they could spare their lives.

On the twelfth day of retreating to the inner city, the first truce since the retreat to the inner city was ushered in! Last night, the battle was unexpectedly defeated, and King Cheng couldn't help but be angry, and he couldn't wait to immediately wave his army to level the capital. However, he also understood that the rebels who had been fighting all night were not enough to support the night battle, and although the defenders were also very tired, they were victorious in occupying the position, and they had been inspired by last night's victory, and their morale was greatly boosted.

The rebels did not take the initiative to fight, and I was naturally happy to see it happen, so I ordered the defenders to strengthen their vigilance while organizing soldiers and civilians to rush to repair the city defenses.

Luo Rou and Xue'er were very worried about my body, and they didn't allow me to go out to make rounds, so I had to stay in the castle tower to rest. The battle in recent months was indeed very exhausting, and he suffered internal injuries, so under the orders of Luo Rou and Xue'er, he slept beautifully in the city tower for a day and a night.

The day has dawned, the destroyed city defense after a day of emergency repair, restored a lot of the scale of the past, everyone understands, the city defense is their own life charm, so in the rush to repair the city defense are all full of energy, do not dare to cut corners, so that in a very short time to complete such a large number of projects.

According to yesterday's statistics, there are only 43,600 soldiers and horses in the city, including 8,000 palace guards (more than 900 were killed by the Jinyi guards and 3,000 battalions in the rebels' night attack), 5,000 in Shuntianfu, and only 30,600 soldiers can be used to defend the city. Reading this number, there is only one word in my mind - a drop in the water!

Fortunately, in the night battle the night before, the inner city should have jumped out, and there was no need to continue to maintain 5,000 people to patrol the inner city.

On this day, the regrouped rebels were menacing, and I could only watch from the sidelines, Luo Rou and Xue'er stood by my side on the left and right, and I was not allowed to participate in the battle. Fortunately, the three armies finally repelled the rebels' attack that day.

After another two days, although the city wall was in danger everywhere, the defenders went forward one after another at the most critical juncture, and beat the rebels down with their lives. My injuries were healed, and Luo Rou and Xue'er also lifted my ban, but they still didn't feel at ease and didn't dare to stay too far away from me, so that I could help in case of an accident.
