Chen Yue led the team to rush towards Xuanwu Gate, and Liu Zongmin followed closely with more than 2,000 people.

In addition to the more than 1,000 cavalry of the personal guard battalion, the Xishan Army also had more than 1,000 infantry, and had to escort Chongzhen Kunxing and Chen Yue's own families, and they were marching on the streets of the city.

Liu Zongmin has been a thief in the world for more than ten years, and his experience in leading troops to fight is far above Chen Yue.

More than 500 intruders went around to the front, and suddenly came out of the alley, cutting off the road ahead. Dozens of horses were erected in the streets, blocking the way of the Xishan army.

The arrows of the invading army were like flying locusts, and the cavalry of the Xishan Army who were attacking landed one after another. The vanguard cavalry dismounted and fired at them with muskets and crossbows.

"What about gunpowder bullets? With gunpowder bullets! Yu Feng, who served as a pioneer, shouted sharply.

"There are so many gunpowder bullets, and the wave just now has run out!" His lieutenant shouted.

"In any case, we must defeat this bandit immediately, I will lead the troops to attack head-on, Ma Chuang, you take a hundred people through the alley, climb over the wall and attack their flanks." Yu Feng resolutely said, snatching a shield from a subordinate, he was going to take someone to kill it personally.

At this moment, the opposing army was in chaos, more than 100 Ming soldiers entered the army column from behind, a general straddled the tall horse, where the big gun in his hand danced, the thieves encountered screamed and fell to the ground.

Behind him, more than 100 elite Ming soldiers were like wolves and tigers, holding knives and guns to kill the intruding army.

"Sir!" Seeing the face of the general clearly, Yu Feng was stunned for a moment, and was overjoyed, it turned out that it was Chen Jianghe who rushed to the opposite side, Yu Feng, who had been a housekeeper in the Chen family for a few days, or Chen Yue, who was personally recommended by Chen Jianghe.

Chen Jianghe and Yu Feng attacked from both sides, and in an instant, they defeated hundreds of troops, pushed the horses down to the side of the road, and the way became unimpeded.

"Daddy!" Chen Yue arrived with a horse and shouted at Chen Jianghe in surprise.

"Let's go! Go to Fuchengmen! The situation was critical, Chen Jianghe didn't say much, and hurriedly said to his son. There has been no news of the loss of Fucheng Gate, and it is the closest gate out of the city.

As for the Xuanwu Gate, which has not yet been lost, even if it is out of the Xuanwu Gate, what can it be, the outer city outside has been captured by thieves.

Chen Yue nodded and followed his father Chen Jianghe to the north. As long as he can get out of the city, with the remaining more than 1,000 cavalry under his command, how can he escape a way out.

However, what made people desperate was that they had just walked north along Xuanwumen Street not far away, and Yu Feng, who had been sent as a vanguard, sent people to report that Fuchengmen had fallen, and thousands of intruders were entering the city.

There are chasing soldiers behind, there is no way forward, and the more than 2,000 people of the Xishan Army are suddenly in a dilemma!

The door of Fucheng in front was wide open, and the main force of the thieves entered the city one after another, and it was impossible to kill them.

Behind, Liu Zongmin commanded thousands of thieves to pursue, and Jin Xin was blocking with hundreds of infantry.

More than 2,000 Xishan troops were blocked on the streets of Xuanwumen, and the situation was already very dangerous.

"Not here, if the thieves attack from the alley, we will be in a situation where we are surrounded by enemies on all sides." Looking at the alleys on both sides of the street, Chen Jianghe said worriedly.

"You can't stay here for a long time, let's go to Xuanwumen!" Chen Yue gritted his teeth and said.

Fortunately, Xuanwu Gate still has a city wall, and there is an urn city to defend, so it is better to go there than to guard the street.

So the team turned around and headed south, heading straight for the Xuanwu Gate.

Ignoring Chen Yue's opposition, Chen Jianghe rode a war horse to open the way in person, leading his subordinates to go on a rampage, and caught the pursuing army off guard.

Liu Zongmin was repeating his old tricks, sending thousands of soldiers to the alleys on both sides, counting on his subordinates to rush out of the alleys and cut the Ming army into several sections. might as well the Ming army suddenly turn around and kill at their own side.

The attacking army pursued and killed the Ming army in an offensive formation, and there was no defense at all, and they fled one after another under the impact of Chen Jianghe's team.

Liu Zongmin was furious, and when he wanted to go on the horse in person and fight with such a brave general, he was stopped by his subordinates and hurriedly retreated.

After killing and repelling the pursuers, the Xishan army turned south, Chen Jianghe took the lead and rushed to the head of Xuanwumen, he was worried about Liu Yangzhen, the head of the military department who stayed here and refused to leave.

When he rushed to the city gate, he saw that the inner gate was open, and the urn city was empty. Chen Jianghe couldn't help but say that he hit the horse and entered the urn city, and then rushed to the city wall by the horse road.

Then he heard bursts of crying from the city gatehouse, Chen Jianghe's heart tightened, got off the war horse, and walked into the city gate tower with heavy steps, and saw Liu Yangzhen hanging himself on the beam in the city tower, his body swaying gently with Bai Aya, and several of his servants kneeling on the ground were crying bitterly.

"Bastard, why don't you save people!" Chen Jianghe was furious, kicked a servant of the Liu family in front of him, and was about to rush over to save people.

"Commander Chen, master, he wants to be martyred for the country, you must not ruin his reputation!"

A servant of the Liu family hugged Chen Jianghe's legs and cried.

Xuanwu Gate has two city gates inside and outside, there are city walls on both sides to connect, and there are two enemy platforms on the city, and several artillery pieces are placed on it.

Between the two gates, a space of 40 steps wide and about 50 steps long was formed, which was the so-called urn city.

The walls of the Urn City, together with the hidden caves in the Urn City, as well as the space inside, were enough to accommodate thousands of troops.

There is a wide moat on the outside of the urn city and the outer city, as long as the city gate gate is lowered, it is enough to resist the attack of tens of thousands of enemies with Weng City.

And the most dangerous thing was not the attack from the inner and outer city gates, but the enemy attacking from the city walls on both sides, so as soon as Chen Yue entered the Xuanwu Gate, he immediately ordered to remove the city bricks and build several low walls to isolate the Xuanwu Gate urn city from the east and west city walls.

Liu Zongmin pursued with his subordinates, looking at the city gate gate that had been put down, he could only stop helplessly. The bricks and stones on the city wall rained down one after another, and he could only lead the invading army to slowly retreat and join the intruding army brigade entering the city.

"Pass the order, order Tian Hu to take his subordinates to attack Xuanwu Gate from the Zhengyangmen city wall, and order Wu Xianzu to lead his troops to attack Xuanwu Gate from the Xibianmen city wall, before dark, we must defeat Xuanwu Gate and capture Chen Yue alive!"

Liu Zongmin shouted viciously, in the past few years, the army has never suffered such a big loss. It only took a few hours to fight with Chen Yue's Xishan army, and the casualties had reached more than 1,000.

In the city tower of Xuanwu Gate, Chongzhen, who was dressed in ordinary soldier's attire, looked at Liu Yangzhen hanging in the city tower in a daze, and was speechless for a long time.

"All courtiers can be killed!" He had said such words many times in the Inner Palace, but now he could no longer say them.
