On October 4, the 14th year of orthodoxy, the military department received an urgent report, and on October 1, it also broke through the Bauhinia Pass first, and the garrison Sun Xiang abandoned the pass and fled. After hearing this, Mr. Shi closed his eyes and pinched his fingers slightly and said, "Sun Xiang was killed in battle, and this person's soul is no longer alive. No matter how Sun Xiang rehabilitated Zhu Qiyu and how he sympathized with his family. On October 6, he got a report again, and he first led the Wara army to the capital, Qu Xiangtian laughed and said after hearing this report: "It seems that we are not wrong as expected, and let me Qu someone fight with you first." ”

On October 8, the Zhongzheng First Pulse and the civilian and military generals sat around the military headquarters, listening to the final military order of the Governor Yu Qian, Yu Qian said: "How many people have been assembled now? Qin Rufeng walked out of his fists and replied, "A total of 226,000 people." Yu Qian sighed well, and after a few days of hard work, Yu Qian ordered to recruit 26,000 people, plus the troops left behind and the army that came to the rescue, a total of 226,000 soldiers. Qu Xiangtian laughed and said: "It's barely enough, but Warat is mostly cavalry, and he attacks around the city, if I command, even if I add another twenty or thirty thousand to the city, I can break the city." ”

In the past few days, all the generals have deeply admired Qu Xiangtian's tactics and tactics and courage, knowing that what he said is not frivolous, he does have this ability, and when they heard Qu Xiangtian's words, they were all worried and turned their heads and ears, Yu Qian was a little puzzled why Qu Xiangtian would say this at this time, making himself demoralized, and hurriedly asked: "If Brother Qu said, what is the best strategy?" ”

Qu Xiangtian looked up to the sky and laughed, and suddenly his voice sank and said, "No need for a good strategy." Everyone was puzzled, and only listened to Qu Xiangtian and replied: "The reason why I don't use it is because it's not me first, and it's not as good as me!" We will win this battle. For a while, everyone in the hall was infected by Qu Xiangtian, and echoed loudly, "We will win!" Win! ”。

In the early morning of October 11, the 14th year of orthodoxy, the ground outside Beijing suddenly trembled violently, like a beating drum, and the dust and smoke rose in the distance, as if the legendary monster was soaring through the clouds. From far and near, the sound of horses shouting and the hooves of war horses galloping could be heard.

The soldiers defending the city watched all this happen, but they did not have the fear of the past, they were not afraid of the one who used tens of thousands of troops to destroy more than 200,000 compatriots in the Tumu Fort, there was only anger in their eyes, and the reason why they were fearless was because there was also a fearless person behind them who stood with them on the city wall, that person was tall and strong, with a big waist and a round waist, and his arms were wrapped around his chest. There is a pair of bright eyes under the two rugged eyebrows, but there is infinite battle intent in the eyes, which is now the first hero between heaven and earth.

Qu Xiangtian took a sharp breath and shouted at the galloping Warat cavalry: "Kill!" All the soldiers above the city gate were infected by this heroic arrogance, and shouted: "Kill! Suddenly, the morale was greatly boosted, and the Warat cavalry in the distance were stunned by this earth-shattering shout, no one could have imagined that the Ming Dynasty under their heavy losses still had such a fighting spirit, and they couldn't help but restrain their horses, not daring to step forward for fear that the other party would have a trap.

A soldier ran to deliver an urgent report and said, "General Qu, the commander of the whole army is invited by Lord Yu." At this time, Yu Qian had been officially appointed as the secretary of the military department, and he was also appointed as the commander-in-chief of each battalion before the war. Qu Xiangtian patted the herald soldier's shoulder, smiled slightly, and walked away quickly.

Seeing Fang Qingze pat the reinforced city wall he had built with his hand, he felt that it was extremely strong, even if it was many times larger, it would be impossible for the army to capture this copper wall, he clapped his hands, and then turned around and followed the sergeant who came to give the order and also walked in the direction of Yu Qian.

Zhu Qiyu and Lu Yunzhi sat opposite each other, Zhu Qiyu has relied on Lu Yunzhi very much since the group beating incident in the Taihe Palace, and Zhu Qiyu does not look like a high-ranking person at all in front of Lu Yunzhi, even if Zhu Qiyu became the emperor on September 6, the 14th year of orthodoxy. Every time he sent a eunuch to ask if Lu Yunzhi was free, and even visited in person, for a while, Lu Yunzhi's reputation in the court was overwhelmed by Fang Qingze, the richest man in the capital, and Qu Xiangtian, the hero in the hearts of the army.

Zhu Qiyu asked: "Brother Yu, can you calculate a hexagram, and calculate today's good fortune." "Your Majesty, you can't be commensurate with your brother in the future, if that's the case, then I shouldn't come here." Lu Yunzhi was deeply disturbed by the title of this royal brother, and he couldn't concentrate on studying the art of heaven and earth, and he was harassed by the ministers every day, so he said this.

"Then I'll call you Yunzhi too." Zhu Qiyu said with some embarrassment. Lu Yunzhi sighed, closed his eyes and said: "I can only calculate a little hexagram, such a major event in the world cannot be carefully calculated, otherwise it will easily cause earth-shaking changes." After speaking, he was silent, and after a long time, he slowly stood up: "The hexagram of peace and tranquility is not to be feared first." Then walking out of the main hall, Zhu Qiyu hurriedly followed and asked: "Royal brother, no, where are you going?" Lu Yunzhi replied without replying: "I also came first, it should be time to settle the family feud and the country's hatred." As he spoke, he walked farther and farther away and disappeared into Zhu Qiyu's sight.

Mr. Han Yueqiu, Mr. Zhongzheng Yimaishi, Lu Yunzhiqu Xiangtian and others all appeared in front of Yu Qian, Yu Qian smiled and clenched his fists and said: "The country can have the help of all righteous people, so that the danger can be turned into a disaster, Yu Mou thanked me here." Mr. Shi replied with a salute and said: "Lord Yu doesn't have to be polite, taking the life and death of the people of the world as his own responsibility has always been the unshirkable responsibility of the people of heaven, earth and people, not to mention that we also have a common enmity with Wara, how can Mongolian ghosts and witches be so arrogant that I can't eliminate harm for the people." ”

Yu Qian nodded, then suddenly straightened his clothes, and said with his head held high: "Open the nine gates and go out of the city to meet the enemy!" Everyone was shocked, only Zhongzheng knew all the lineage, and there was one person who was extremely excited, and that person was Shi Heng.

After Shi Heng was defeated by Ziyang and Kou, he met the disciples of the Zhongzheng line led by Han Yueqiu and picked up a life, but all the troops had died in battle, and only the survival of the boss was said to be a lingering breath. Shi Heng was naturally unconvinced, but as Han Yueqiu said that day, Shi Heng promptly reported that the Wara Qi soldiers had made meritorious use of the evil spirit possession technique of ghosts and witches, and the merits and demerits did not kill him, but just demoted him to an official. Later, Mr. Shi and Yu Qian strongly recommended that the demoted Shi Heng regain control of the army and participate in today's battle to defend Beijing. The reason why he was so excited after Yu Qian issued a military order just now that he opened the door to meet the enemy was precisely because of the shame of defeat, and the criticized nest made Shi Heng endure for a long time, and today is the time of shame.

Yu Qian frowned and said firmly: "Jinyi guards inspect the inner city, but if there are soldiers who do not go out of the city to meet the battle, they will be killed!" Yu Qian paused for a moment and continued to order: "The following generals will guard the nine gates of the capital, and if there is any loss, behead!" The rest of the men lined up outside the door to meet the enemy. The generals were frightened by this formation, only knowing that Yu Qian wanted to fight, but they didn't know that he actually had the belief of fighting to the death.

Everyone was silent, but Yu Qian did not stop his words and continued: "Andingmen, Tao Jin guards!" Dongzhi Gate, Liu Anshou! Xizhimen, Liu Jushou! Chaoyang Gate, Zhu Yingshou! Zhenyang Gate, Li Duanshou! Chongwenmen, Liu Dexinshou! Xuanwumen, Yang Jieshou! Fuchengmen, Gu Xingzu guards! "The eight gates have been reported, but the remaining one gate no one wants to be read, although it is dangerous to go out to meet the enemy, but this gate is difficult to defend as the sky, because this gate is facing the army of the first, is the main gate of Wara - Desheng Gate.

It's not that everyone present has no guts, but Deshengmen is a matter of success or failure, and the army will inevitably lose its defense, and it is not terrible to die on the battlefield, but I am afraid that as a defending general, the army will be defeated and lost, and become the general of the defeated army that leads to the death of the country will be stinking for thousands of years, and will be spurned for thousands of years.

Everyone was speculating, but they heard Yu Qian say loudly: "Deshengmen, Yu Qian Shou!" ”
