At the end of the night, except for the Desheng Gate and the Zhengyang Gate, which had been attacked during the day, the remaining seven gates were harassed by the Tatars. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Not only were the Ming army exhausted, but the Tatars themselves were miserable.

After ten days of fighting, the Tatars lost more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, which put a lot of pressure on Dayan Khan Batu Munk, and it was at this moment that he received news that made him even more annoyed...... The national teacher in charge of the rearguard of the whole army in Xuanfu, Yisi Mayin, requested the withdrawal of troops.

When Susuha heard the news, he rushed into the king's tent, strode to the front of the handsome case, saluted Batu Munk, and said angrily: "Great Khan, please give an order to let the ministers lead the troops and bring back the head of the traitor Yismain!" ”

Batu Munch waved his hand and said, "You don't have to worry about the affairs of the national teacher...... On the front line of Juyong Pass, Shen Xi, the general of the Ming army, may lead his troops and horses back to Beijing to master King Qin. Shen Xi's Youming army is the only cavalry that can handle it now, if they are killed in the capital, it may have a fundamental impact on the situation! ”

Su Suha looked disdainful: "It's just a little scholar who has not dried up, it is said that he is not yet eighteen years old, and Yisima has actually suffered defeats many times, and he is really going back more and more." No matter how powerful Shen Xi is, can the soldiers and horses under his command be as good as our invincible Mongolian cavalry? Fighting in the plains, our iron cavalry has not been afraid of anyone! ”

Batu Munch shook his head: "Don't be careless, not only is Yisima invincible, but also the entire army of Bu Ra is wiped out, and Urus led the army to storm Juyong Pass and also failed, proving that this Shen Xi still has some ability." The soldiers and horses of the King of Qin in the Ming Dynasty are on their way to Beijing, if we can't capture the fortified city in front of us in a short time, maybe we can only withdraw our troops! ”

Su Suha was still not convinced, and said: "If Shen Xi really dares to lead his troops back to the Ming Jingshi, he is willing to lead the troops to fight with him!" Wait to defeat Shen Xi, deter the Ming people, and then lead the troops to break through the city, use the blood of the Ming people to pay tribute to the once glorious Great Yuan Empire, and reproduce the glory of Xue Chan Khan's unification of the Central Plains! ”

Batumunk nodded with satisfaction: "I hope so...... Susuha, don't slack off, attack the city with all your strength today, be sure to open a gap in the capital of the Ming Dynasty, as long as the soldiers and horses enter the city, the Ming Dynasty will inevitably overturn, and the Great Yuan Empire will be rebuilt in the hands of Ben Khan......"

Early morning on November 8th.

Xie Qian sat at the head of Andingmen City, even though the cold wind was biting, but he was exhausted, but he leaned on the flagpole and slept for more than an hour, until Zhu Houzhao came out of the city tower and woke him up.

"Mr. Xie, wake up, what are you doing sleeping here? Why don't you go up to the castle tower, there is a bed and a stove inside! Zhu Houzhao said with concern.

Xie Qian didn't come back to his senses for a long time, and only realized where he was after a long time, he glanced under the city, he was dizzy for a while, and he was so frightened that he hurried away from the city wall, he got up and tidied up his clothes, and found that his body bones did not obey the call, especially his eyes were dry, and he was full of tears because of his fear of light.

Xie Qian thought to himself: "This body is not as good as day by day, I didn't feel anything when I stayed up late before, but now I can't hold it anymore!" ”

Zhu Houzhao saw that Xie Qian was silent, stepped forward to support Xie Qian's shoulder, and said: "Mr. Xie, this palace will help you to go up to the city tower to rest, this palace has slept before, and now the spirit is very good, it's your turn to rest!" ”

Xie Qian was a little confused, looked sideways at Zhu Houzhao, and then at the bear child's hand, quickly broke free, and saluted respectfully: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has not returned to the palace yet?" ”

Zhu Houzhao suddenly pursed his lips: "Why does Mr. Xie always mention some uninteresting words?" The main palace will stay here today, and where there is danger in the city, the main palace will go to reinforcements. Mr. Xie needs to accompany the palace to the gates of the capital at any time, I think it is better to go and rest first, of course, if Mr. Xie feels that he is in good spirits, he can also accompany the palace to talk for a while! ”

Shaking his head and smiling bitterly, Xie Qian said: "The minister is old and old, and his strength is too strong, so he should go up to the city tower to rest first!" ”

Between resting and gossiping with the prince, Xie Qian naturally chose to sleep, because he had a bad schedule a few days ago, and he stayed up all night last night, still in the chaotic city, his body was a little unbearable, and he couldn't wait to go to the high bed and soft pillow to sleep well, it was best not to wake up.

Zhu Houzhao looked at Xie Qian's slightly rickety figure and entered the city tower, and shook his head with emotion: "Originally, I wanted Mr. Xie to help me tell my father, but now I can transfer troops myself!" ”

Just when Zhu Houzhao was pondering how to lead the troops to the battle, a scout suddenly came over, anxious, and it seemed that the matter was urgent, but Lao Yuan was stopped by Zhang Yuan, Zhang Yuan asked about the situation, and came over to play: "His Royal Highness the Prince, I just got the news that the Tatars have begun to attack Xizhimen again!" ”

Zhu Houzhao said angrily: "Why is it Xizhi Gate again, won't it attack other city gates?" Early in the morning does not let people live in peace...... Let's go, go to Xizhimen with the main palace! ”

Zhang Yuan looked around suspiciously: "What about Xie Ge Lao?" ”

"Let him stay and continue to sleep, this palace has no time to take care of him, he won't do anything except ramble, thanks to Mr. Shen's trust in him so much, his feelings are also cowardly, none of the ministers in the cabinet have the skill and courage, it is better to let Mr. Shen take responsibility!" Zhu Houzhao said casually.

Zhang Yuan was secretly frightened: "How much does the prince rely on my little nephew?" If the little nephew can really come back safely, if His Majesty dies at that time, won't the little nephew be powerful? ”

Zhu Houzhao hurriedly walked down from the city, and almost collided with the British Duke Zhang Mao who came forward, Zhang Mao said: "Where is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince going?" ”

Zhu Houzhao said: "Xizhimen! ”

Zhang Mao said: "The prince must not go to Xizhimen, just come to report that the Tatars have dispatched about 50,000 or 60,000 soldiers and horses this time, and they are menacing, and there is a great posture of fighting...... Today's battle of Xizhimen will be very difficult, please return to the palace! ”

The reason why Zhang Mao's attitude changed suddenly was not because of how dangerous Xizhimen was, but because he had just gotten the news, it turned out that the prince was out of the palace without permission yesterday, and after the emperor woke up, he was looking for the prince everywhere at this time, Xiao Jing did not dare to tell the emperor that the prince spent the night in Andingmen.

Zhu Houzhao waved his hand angrily: "This palace will not return to the palace, this palace has said that if the war is not over, it will not return to the palace, now is the time for the palace to fulfill its promise, old man Zhang, if you dare to stop the palace, the palace will jump from here, you can do it yourself!" ”

Zhang Mao was just about to send someone to take the prince back, but was intimidated by Zhu Houzhao in person, Zhang Mao could only shake his head helplessly and smile bitterly, he finally found that the bear child is not simple, and he threatens people one by one.

Originally, Zhang Mao could continue to use force and forcibly let the prince return to the palace, but as a courtier, if the prince really "forced each other to death" and did what he did for the country and the people, it would be tantamount to putting himself in a situation of disloyalty, filial piety, benevolence and injustice, and he could only stop helplessly.

"Old man Zhang, since you don't stop it, this palace will go, please ask Old Man Zhang to arrange the guards of the city gates everywhere, and then bring reinforcements to Xizhimen!"

Zhu Houzhao made an explanation before leaving, even if Zhang Mao didn't want to listen, he could only respectfully accept the order at this time, even the emperor allowed the prince to govern, as a hereditary prince in charge of the five military governors, for himself and future generations not to be hated by the emperor, he could only show a deferential side in front of the prince.

……

……

When Zhu Houzhao arrived at Xizhimen, the fierce battle at the head of the city had lasted for more than half an hour.

Today, the Tatars used more siege baggage, and there were five large Lu buses alone, which was inevitable. Zhu Houzhao had not yet reached the head of the city, but he saw the figures of Tatars on the inner side of the city wall.

Zhu Houzhao was not frightened when he saw it, but was inexplicably excited.

"Finally, I seized the opportunity to fight the Tartars head-on, I want to see how powerful they are! Gonggong Zhang, bring the sword of the palace, the palace will fight to the death with the Tartars! ”

Zhang Yuan was hesitating, Zhu Houzhao had already rushed forward, pulled the sword out of the scabbard, and then lifted the sword and rushed to the city like when he was a child when he was a child to kill demons, but was stopped by the guards.

The guards know the priority of the matter, and they have to protect the prince no matter what, otherwise there will be an accident, which will not only harm others and themselves, but also harm the family.

"Get out of the way, whoever doesn't get out of the way, this palace will let him go to see the king of Hades! Hongu is not joking with you! ”

Zhu Houzhao roared angrily, and sure enough, he swung his sword and slashed at the guards, and the guards had no choice but to give way, but they were strictly protected by the bear child's side.

Zhang Yuan was so frightened that his legs were weak, and he had no laws to persuade the prince, so Zhu Houzhao led people to the city to kill.

The Ming soldiers saw that even the prince personally raised his sword into battle, there was no reason why he would not fight bloodily to the end, and for a time the Ming soldiers were completely stimulated, and the officers and soldiers who were suppressed by the Tartars and withdrew from the city took the opportunity to counterattack, and the sound of killing shook the sky for a while.

Zhu Houzhao was determined to engage the Tatars in a short fight, but when he went to the top of the city, he found that the Tatars on the inner side of the city wall had been killed and retreated by the morale-boosting Ming army.

The bear child was disappointed for a while, and muttered: "Fuck it, Lao Tzu is going to kill the dog Tartar, why is it gone in a blink of an eye?" ”

After getting along with the soldiers for a long time, Zhu Houzhao even learned to scold people, rushed through the city gate tower, and there were Ming troops and Tartars fighting together everywhere in front of him, and in the distance, another group of Tatar soldiers rushed to the city from the top of the Lu Gong car, and the bear child turned around and yelled at his guards: "What are you doing in a daze?" Cut off the source of the tartar, use tung oil, and sprinkle it directly on the siege vehicle, I see that the car is on fire, who dares to climb up! ”

As he was talking, arrows swept past Zhu Houzhao, Zhu Houzhao did not wear armor, but he was not afraid at all, the surrounding Ming soldiers were stunned, the prince is really bold, but since even the prince of the country is desperate, he is wearing armor, and he can't say anything about retreating...... Yes, rush together, the city must not be lost.

Zhu Houzhao led people to kill for a long time, and he didn't even kill a single Tartar...... Even if a Tartar rushed over, it was dealt with first by the guards.

The Tatars had already taken a corner of the city, and they only had to wait for the follow-up soldiers and horses to arrive, so they could consolidate their territory and continue to encroach on the position of the city's head until they drove the Ming army down...... The Tatar generals under the city seemed to see hope of breaking through the Ming capital.

Once the capital of the Ming Dynasty fell, it meant countless money, beauties and livestock, but then, a black tide killed over, but seeing that the Ming army was like crazy, they were not afraid of death, and some people were slashed several times in a row, and they still rushed forward, and they simply pulled the Tartar soldiers to accompany the burial, fell down the city together, and gradually regained the lost territory.

But I saw a young man, dressed in luxurious clothes, holding a very undesirable long sword in his hand, shouting and screaming, which was extremely eye-catching.
