The fog gradually dissipated, completely exposing the Ming Dynasty and Jianyu to the eyes of both sides.

The war continued, for two hours, and there was no sign of stopping.

Zhou Zheng always refused to let the 'prepare' come up, and only 5,000 people were struggling to guard the Anding Gate.

Mangui's side was relatively much easier, and Jianyu didn't get much bargaining, but Zhou Zheng was in danger here, as if it would collapse at any time, becoming the weakness of the north gate of the capital.

The adults in the capital always paid attention to the movement at the north gate, and when they saw this situation, they couldn't bear it, and waited in panic.

"Zhou Xun pressed, the general soldier came to ask if he wanted support." A soldier from Mangui came to the Arrow Pavilion and asked Zhou Zheng.

Zhou Zheng held the knife in his left hand and said in a flat tone: "Tell General Man that I can defend it, and I want him not to worry." ”

The soldier glanced at Andingmen, which seemed to be about to collapse in the next moment, didn't say much, promised a word, and left quickly.

After a while, Cao Bianjiao ran over again and said, "My lord, I can't hold it anymore, please send troops to support." ”

"Hold it up a little longer, and I'll send two thousand people up." Zhou Zhengdao.

Cao Bianjiao replied with a deep face, turned around and continued to resist Jianyu. Rush to the front, desperately swinging the long knife.

Zhou Zheng looked at the 20,000 Jianyu army not far away, his face sank like water, and suddenly summoned Chu Jin and whispered a few words in his ear.

Chu Jin looked hesitant, but still raised his hand and said, "Yes, the next official will go." ”

This battle lasted until dusk, and Andingmen was crumbling, but it was never breached, but Jianyu seemed to have eaten the scales, and even if the offensive was weak, he still refused to give up.

Cao Bianjiao ran over again, looked at Zhou Zheng and said anxiously: "My lord, I really can't hold on, when will your reinforcements come up?" ”

Zhou Zheng looked up at the sky, then at the weakening offensive of the Jianyu army, and waved his hand.

The 2,000 men under the city walls, who had long been ready to attack, quickly rushed up and filled the void in the city walls.

With reinforcements, the momentum of the Ming army on Andingmen suddenly increased, and they struggled to push back the attacking Jianjiao.

Cao Bianjiao looked at it, his heart was greatly strengthened, and he continued to howl in a hoarse voice.

At the rear of the Jianyu army, Amin looked at Yue Tuo with an ugly face, and said with a laugh: "You can't take a small city gate, and you won't withdraw it, I'll teach you how to attack the city tomorrow!" ”

Yue Tuo didn't expect that the capital of the Ming people was so difficult to attack, and he had to take it several times, but he just didn't attack it!

With an ugly look, he glanced at Amin and then at Hauge.

Hauge sat on his horse and said, "I want this Andingmen, see me tomorrow!" ”

Amin sneered, didn't care, and said, "I want Huang Taiji to take a look, in terms of combat merits, he is still far behind!" ”

This sentence made Haoge and Yue Tuo's eyes sink.

Although Amin and Huang Taiji used to be the four great Baylors, Huang Taiji is already a great khan, and Amin still can't turn around, just like in the past, he was not polite to Huang Taiji, and he came as soon as he opened his mouth, and he was even more unscrupulous than before!

As it was about to get dark, Jianyu finally retreated, leaving a mess outside the city gates.

On the arrow tower, Zhou Zheng exhaled softly.

Cao Bianjiao stood on the city wall, wiping the blood on his face, and a smile appeared on his face. This is the first time he has taken on a big responsibility, and he has successfully defended the city gates!

He smiled and turned his head to look at Zhou Zheng in the Arrow Pavilion.

The surviving soldiers also smiled, supporting each other, holding on to the city wall, and smiling hard at the bleak sunset.

The gates of the city are guarded, and there is no happier person than those big men in the city.

Chongzhen listened to the disappearance of the war drums outside the city, his heart was relieved, he looked at Wang Chengen, who had been standing in front of him, and said, "Do you mean that there will be nothing to do in this way?" ”

Wang Chengen didn't understand military affairs, so he hesitated and said, "Long live Lord, you can ask Shen Shangshu to ask." ”

Chongzhen said: "Then don't go quickly!" ”

Wang Chengen responded and hurriedly went to find someone in person.

Shen Yongmao was about to go to the north gate, but when he heard Chongzhen's summons, he hurried over.

Chongzhen sat on the chair and couldn't wait to say, "How is it?" Did the builder retreat? ”

Shen Yongmao looked at Chongzhen for a moment, knowing that he was afraid, and hurriedly reassured: "Your Majesty, Jianyu has not retreated yet, but once he is in a hurry, then declining, and three times exhausted, the capital is already unharmed, so there is no need to worry about it." ”

Chongzhen listened, although he was a little disappointed, but finally settled down, nodded lightly, and said, "Okay, pass the decree and reward all the soldiers who defend the city!" ”

Shen Yongmao responded, and then said: "Your Majesty, there are still 40,000 troops outside Jianyu, Man Gui, and Zhou Zheng wants some support. ”

Chongzhen immediately said: "When is it, whatever they want, give it to them." ”

Shen Yongmao hesitated for a moment and said, "First, they want more arrows, armor, and swords, and second, they want the Great General Shenwei." ”

The so-called Kamui General, that is, artillery.

Chongzhen naturally knew about this thing, and frowned when he heard it.

This thing can kill the enemy externally, but if it turns around, it can directly bombard the Qianqing Palace.

Shen Yongmao knew that this matter was difficult, not only Chongzhen was embarrassed, but if those officials knew, he would definitely not agree. When the time comes, as soon as the cannon sounds, the entire capital will have to explode.

Although Shen Yongmao knew that Zhou Zheng's request was very correct, and the imperial court should also give it, but--the risk was too great!

Chongzhen's expression changed for a while, and he said in a deep voice: "Tell the Ministry of Industry and immediately dial it to Man Gui, Zhou Zheng!" You tell Man Gui again, Zhou Zheng, you must guard me! ”

Seeing that the emperor had such courage, Shen Yongmao was relieved, raised his hand and said in a deep voice: "The minister obeys the order!" ”

Shen Yongmao quickly left the palace, allocated all the things that Zhou Zheng wanted, and sent them to the north gate to Man Gui and Zhou Zheng.

Shen Yongmao looked at the soldiers loading cannons, and said in a low voice to Zhou Zheng: "You have to think clearly, as soon as this cannon sounds, the whole capital will be frightened, no matter before or after, those officials will not let you go." ”

Zhou Zheng naturally had already calculated the consequences, and said, "Thank you, Lord for your trouble." ”

Shen Yongmao sighed lightly and said, "You can rest assured that you will defend the city, no matter what, I will block it for you in the future, plus some adults can also speak, so I won't embarrass you too much." ”

Zhou Zheng didn't want to say much about this, and said, "My lord, is there any situation in Jizhou?" ”

Shen Yongmao's expression was solemn, his brows were furrowed, he glanced around, and said in a low voice: "Jizhou is stable, Lord Yuan has sent Zhao to rush back to support, I ordered him to hide in Tongzhou, and no one else knows about it." ”

Zhou Zheng's heart moved slightly, obviously, this Shen Shangshu had other plans.

He didn't ask much, and said, "How many other doors, no problem, right?" ”

Shen Yongmao said: "There are only 40,000 people from Jianyu, they must take the capital as soon as possible, and they will not divide their troops to encircle them, otherwise they will have a long night." ”

Zhou Zheng nodded lightly, Jianyu is short of food and grass, and he won't last long, and he won't have too many tricks, he will only break through the north gate in one go and completely take the capital.

Only in this way can Jianyu reverse the disadvantage and save their national fortunes.
