Chapter 294: Spectating the Battle

On the seventh day of the seventh month of July, Zeng Xian's iron horse wandered around the mountains for more than half a month, and finally appeared in Tongzhou.

The people outside the city have withdrawn to the city, and only the houses are still standing in their place, not demolished.

When they received the enemy's situation, the ministers were excited and nervous. The Imperial Council was held for a day, and the army marched to the seven gates.

Zhou Heng was dressed in a garment, and personally led 10,000 people out of Yongding Gate. The Yongdingmen Suspension Bridge was then pulled up and the city gate was closed.

Yu Shi Zhouquan knelt at Lihua Gate and asked to see the queen.

Cui Keyin asked Lu Ying to come out and ask him: "The enemy is current, if you don't work together to resist the enemy, what are you kneeling here?" ”

Zhou Quan fell to the ground and cried, kowtowed: "Please ask the female official to convey to the queen that the emperor has gone out of the city to defend against the enemy regardless of the body of ten thousand gold." ”

Zhou Heng issued an order, lined up outside the city gate, did not kill the Tatars, and the generals defending the city were not allowed to open the city gate to let the enemy army outside the city enter the city, and the violators were punished together.

Forget about others, Zhou Heng is the emperor, or the emperor who has been on the throne for less than a month. In case he has three longs and two shorts, wouldn't the Great Jia Dynasty want to change the emperor? Although the emperor in front of him is young, he is decisive in killing, and he is much stronger than Emperor Zhi'an, so he can't be hung up like this.

Lu Ying was taken aback when she heard that Zhou Heng led the troops out of the city, and she didn't care that as a fifth-grade female official, she had to maintain her demeanor, so she took her skirt and rushed back to Anhua Palace to report regardless of her image.

"The emperor personally led the troops out of the city?" Cui Keyin Qi said: "Why does the enemy lead the troops out of the city? ”

Didn't you wait until you were attacking the city before shooting it with a crossbow arrow? The Tatars were cavalrymen and were not good at attacking cities. Seeing Zeng Xian shirtless, isn't it the length of attacking the enemy with his shortness?

Lu Ying was also anxious and said, "I don't know. Zhou Quan is still kneeling in Lihua Gate, Niangniang might as well announce him to come over and ask. ”

Zhou Quan cried all the way to Anhua Palace, and saw Cui Keyin crying more sadly than his dead father.

Cui Keyin said angrily: "If you have something to say, what kind of body is it to cry and cry?" ”

I don't know, I think his father is gone.

Zhou Quan wiped his tears and said: "Niangniang doesn't know, there are seven gates in the outer city, and the emperor only sends six people, and he has to guard the Yongding Gate, how can this work?" Saying goes. The son of a daughter can't sit down. The emperor is a body of ten thousand gold, rich all over the world, how can he personally wade into danger? also asked the mother to persuade the emperor to return to the palace and send another lord to the city. ”

Cui Keyin was puzzled: "Why did the emperor order to line up outside the city to fight Zeng Xian. Instead of holding on? ”

Zhou Quan is not eligible to participate in the pre-imperial examination. Where to know? It's just to see the army open. I heard that it was the emperor who guarded the Yongding Gate, so he immediately ran to the Lihua Gate to kneel and cry. As soon as Cui Keyin asked, he was suddenly stuck. Squeak can't tell.

Cui Keyin asked Mama Su to inquire.

Half an hour later, Mama Su came back and said: "The emperor really led the troops out of Yongding Gate, and the slave maid climbed the Yongding Gate tower to look down, and saw the emperor riding on a horse, and a thousand people lined up under the city. ”

That is, Zhou Quan is not lying.

"Let's take a look." Cui Keyin said: "Change clothes." ”

Zhou Quan saw that the emperor's consequences were really as he played, went to persuade the emperor, and happily withdrew.

Cui Keyin changed into men's clothes, and the light car Jane walked out of the palace gate, and saw a team of sergeants passing by neatly on the empty street all the way.

The keeper of Yongding Gate is a nursery, and when he heard that the queen was coming, he was startled and went down to the city tower to greet him.

"The war is about to break out, why did the mother come here?" The nursery asked.

Cui Keyin said: "The emperor is here? ”

Sowers pointed to the direction outside the city and said, "The emperor is under the city, and he is one of the seven main generals who defend the city." ”

Yongding Gate is the first place that Zeng Xian arrived. It can be said that Zhou Heng's defensive task is the heaviest and most important.

Cui Keyin didn't say a word, climbed the city tower, and looked down.

The sun was shining on the side of the moat, and a young man in a bright yellow uniform in front of the queue was not Zhou Heng, who was so handsome?

The soldiers were gearing up one by one, and their momentum was high. Fighting side by side with the emperor is willing to die in battle.

"It's dangerous here, please go down to the city immediately." The nursery said awe-inspiringly.

Cui Keyin shook her head and said, "I'm just here to watch." ”

The spy reported: "I first sent my younger brother Arutai as the vanguard and came to Yongdingmen. ”

Again: "Arutai is only ten miles away from Yongding Gate. ”

About an hour later, the spy reported: "Arutai was ambushed, and the whole army was annihilated." ”

Ten miles away from Yongding Gate, there are two rows of houses on both sides of the road. Zhou Heng sent the newly formed sharpshooter battalion sergeant to lie in ambush there, and when the Arutai army arrived here, the soldiers lying by the window stretched out their guns from the window and took turns to strafe, and suddenly Arutai and the department were beaten into a sieve.

The sergeants shouted in unison: "Hooray!" Banzai! Hooray! ”

Cui Keyin was also happy when she saw that the army had been victorious. The news of the victory in the first battle soon spread throughout the city gates, and everyone's confidence was high, and Zeng Xian was not invincible.

Zeng first wiped out the 200,000 elites of Emperor An in one fell swoop, and he was really complacent, thinking that no one in the Dajia Dynasty could resist his cavalry. There is also Wang Xian blowing the wind beside him, thinking that as long as he goes to the capital, he can easily enter the city, destroy the Dajia Dynasty in one fell swoop, and then go south, and take the flower world of the Dajia Dynasty into his pocket. He was leisurely drinking in the camp when he reported that the vanguard had been wiped out, and he was so frightened that he dropped his horn cup on the ground.

Hearing that his younger brother died tragically, Zeng Xian couldn't help but be furious, rushed out of the camp, turned over his horse, and personally led his troops straight to Yongding Gate.

Arriving at the place where Arutai was killed, he first asked the Tatar soldiers to shoot rockets. In the midst of thousands of arrows, the two rows of houses on both sides of the road were already on fire.

However, the ambushed sergeants had already retreated after they had succeeded, and Zeng Xian only burned two rows of empty houses.

He led the troops to Yongding Gate, and when he saw that the leader of the troops was a beautiful young man, he couldn't help but stroke his beard and laugh: "Dajia Dynasty is really empty, and send a young man who has not dried up to meet the enemy." ”

His subordinates flattered: "The king will definitely win this time and take the capital in one fell swoop." ”

Zhou Heng waved his hand, and ordered the flag officer to unfold the flag and shake it three times. Three drums sounded, and 10,000 men rushed towards the Tatar army like a tide. Zeng was taken aback, shouldn't he be the one to charge? Why did the southerners become so brave?

In this battle, the sky was dark, and the sun and moon were dark. The nursery persuaded Cui Keyin to go down to the city several times, but Cui Keyin just stared intently at the bright yellow figure in the array, watching him lead people to harvest the lives of Tatar soldiers like chopping melons and vegetables.

Fighting until dark, Zeng was defeated first, feeling that Yongding Gate was too difficult to take, the young man with the soldiers was too ruthless, it was really murderous without blinking, those soldiers were like tigers descending the mountain, everyone was competing for the first, and the competition was to see who killed more people. It was impossible to please Yongdingmen, so he had to lead troops to attack Guang'anmen and try his luck in another place.

If he knew that it was the current emperor who led the troops, he would not think so. Cui Keyin looked at Zeng Xian and ran to Guang'anmen in embarrassment, pursed her lips and smiled. (To be continued.) )
