Chapter 346: Fighting
Zhou Zheng thought about Huang Taiji's troops, thought for a moment, and said, "If you come with 40,000, there will be danger." ”
The soldiers who can fight in the capital, Zhou Zheng 10,000, Mangui 10,000, plus the British public may have 10,000 or 20,000, it is unimaginable to disperse the twelve gates of the capital.
Shen Yongmao frowned, and said: "There are only 100,000 people in Jianjiao, and you have to deal with Jizhou, so you can't tell so much." ”
Shen Yongmao is also a person who has led soldiers, although he said this, his heart is even more nervous.
Zhou Qingli looked at Zhou Zheng's immobile expression, and there was a dignified look on her dark face.
He knew this son, and this expression represented some kind of deep unease.
In less than half an hour, the army of Jianyu arrived, and even though the fog was thick, the black human head could still be seen shaking.
Shen Yongmao and the others looked solemn, glanced at each other, and before they could speak, an inner supervisor came to pass the word: "A few adults, long live the lord to pass you into the palace." ”
Shen Yongmao and the others glanced at each other, then looked at the army outside the city, gave a few words, turned around and left, and hurried into the palace.
As soon as they left, one of Man Gui's people came to Zhou Zhengdao: "Lord Zhou, Lord Man said that if you can't hold it, you will pass him on as soon as possible." ”
Zhou Zheng didn't hear the words, looked at the city, and said with a solemn expression: "Well, so is the general soldier." ”
The soldier glanced at Zhou Zheng and walked away a little strangely.
Outside the north gate of Beijing, the army of 40,000 Jianyu was united, Amin, Haoge, and Yue Tuo rode horses, looking at the fog in the distance, their expressions were excited, and their eyes were bloodthirsty.
Amin raised his horsewhip, pointed in the direction of Beijing City, and said loudly: "As long as we break through this city, we have what we want!" ”
Hauge said: "Attack the city in half an hour!" ”
Yue Tuo said: "No need, you prepare, I will attack first, I can't give the southern barbarians time to prepare!" ”
Amin naturally didn't want to go first, he only brought 10,000 people, and said decisively: "Okay, what we are going to attack the city, you go first!" ”
Although Yue Tuo is Dai Shan's son, he is a close confidant of Huang Taiji, and he did not hesitate to listen to it, and ordered: "Siege the city!" ”
The Mianjia army behind Yue Tuo rushed towards the city of Beijing like a tsunami.
Zhou Zheng couldn't see anything in the arrow tower of Andingmen, but the mountain and tsunami came, took a deep breath, and ordered: "Order, defend the city!" ”
Cao Bianjiao knelt down on one knee and said, "The last general will take the order!" ”
With that, he hurried away.
On the stable gate, there was a sudden tension, and the soldiers held their weapons and stared closely at the vast fog.
On the other side, Man Gui on the Desheng Gate did the same, pulled off his beard, stood on the city wall, and waited quietly with his eyes.
The shouts of Jianyu shook the sky and resounded throughout the city of Beijing.
Even Chongzhen in the deep palace was startled, and he didn't care about anything else, ran out of the Qianqing Palace, and looked at the north with a panicked face.
Wang Chengen and Li Zhong followed him, and it was difficult to keep calm.
The city of the Ming Dynasty, since Taizong moved the capital, has only been surrounded by Wara, but that was during the reign of Yingzong, and no one has really experienced it.
I don't know how many people were terrified and panicked.
A group of ministers entered the palace in a hurry, saw Chongzhen, and knelt on the ground to plead guilty.
Chongzhen stood in front of the steps, trying his best to maintain an expressionless look at the north, and at the bottom of the steps, there was a group of adults who knelt down to plead guilty, and he ignored it.
After a long time in the difficulty, Wang Chengen approached and said in a low voice: "Long live Lord, there are 200,000 troops of Lord Yuan outside, and there is a British Duke inside, so there is no need to worry." ”
How could Chongzhen not hear Wang Chengen's reassuring words, put his hands behind his back, and muttered a little: "You say, Man Gui, can Zhou Zheng keep it?" ”
Chongzhen is very sober now, knowing that only Man Gui and Zhou Zheng are guarding the city, and the others cannot be counted on.
Wang Chengen said softly: "Yes." ”
Chongzhen was stunned, turned his head to look at him, nodded lightly, and felt a little comforted in his heart.
Li Zhong looked at the direction of Andingmen, his palms were full of sweat, and prayed: "Zhou Zhengyun, the lives of Lord Long Live and our family are in your hands, you must protect them for me......
There was panic in the palace, but the north gate was quickly killed.
The Mianjia army of Jianyu spread out, stretching endlessly, and frantically pounced on Desheng Gate and Anding Gate.
Zhou Zheng stood on the arrow tower of Andingmen, his face expressionless, his right hand clutching the saber at his waist.
The soldiers rushed to the top of the city and rushed up with all their might.
The soldiers on the city wall used all means to fight back with all their might.
These soldiers had only been trained for less than a year, had no actual combat experience, and their disadvantages soon became apparent, and a large number of Jianjian soldiers poured into the city walls.
Cao Bianjiao was in a hurry, carrying a knife, slashing and killing frantically, and at the same time commanding, shouting desperately.
"Kill!"
Jianyu seemed to hold his breath, desperate to attack the city, and overwhelmed the Ming army in momentum.
The sound of the drums of Jianyu was like thunder, and the people of the capital who shook were panicked and fearful.
"Get down for me!"
On the wall of Andingmen, a Ming soldier pushed the ladder down, and before he could react, an arrow came and knocked him to the ground.
Soon, another ladder came over, and before the Ming army could push it, some Jianyu people rushed up with knives. The Ming army quickly swung their swords and slashed each other under the wall.
The two sides were glued to the walls, crowded, blood splattered and roared.
Zhou Zheng's side is obviously at a disadvantage and can hold on, while Man Gui's side is much more calm.
Man Gui, dressed in heavy armor, patrolled back and forth on the city wall, drinking and drinking. His soldiers are capable of field battles, and he also has rich experience in defending cities, which is comparable to the battle of Jianyu.
Almost everyone in the capital was looking at the north gate, and they could hear the fierce fighting, and even the sound of the handover of swords and soldiers echoed in their ears.
Emanating from the Qianqing Palace, I don't know how many people were frightened and uneasy, and even many people cried bitterly.
From the Forbidden City to the north, there is the bell tower, the drum tower, and then the Anding Gate, the Desheng Gate, which is really too close!
If Desheng Gate and Anding Gate are lost, Jianyu can enter the Qianqing Palace with a cup of tea!
Zhou Zheng stood on the arrow tower of Andingmen, watching the battle on the city wall, his face sinking like water.
I don't know how long it took, Cao Bianjiao touched the blood on his face and said, "My lord, I can't support it anymore, let the people behind me go up." ”
There were only 5,000 people on the city wall, and Zhou Zheng left 5,000 for preparation.
Zhou Zheng looked outside the city, the fog seemed to dissipate somewhat, and more people could be seen faintly, and he said, "No! Keep it up! ”
Cao Bianjiao listened to Zhou Zheng's words, gritted his teeth, turned his head and went to the city wall again.
The fighting on the city wall is almost white-hot, and the two sides are fighting on the city wall.
Because this is the capital, many things defending the city can't be prepared, and those big people don't seem to expect that Jianyu can really kill him, and they don't give Zhou Zheng and Man Gui more power.
Zhou Zheng took a deep breath and looked at Jianyu's army from afar.
If there are really 40,000 people, the capital will be in danger!
Thinking of this, Zhou Zheng turned his head to look in the direction of Qianqing Palace, his eyes flickering slightly.
