Admiral Yu beside him immediately drank with Luo Xin: "Huang Taiji, let the horse come!" ”

The generals shouted in unison: "Huang Taiji, let the horses come!" ”

"Let the horses come!" All the Ming soldiers above the city shouted in unison.

Huang Taiji's face was pale, but he gritted his teeth and didn't make a sound. Just looked at the steppe coalition forces that had already rushed into the range of the fire oil tank. The atmosphere above the city gradually became solemn, the archers had put their arrows on the bowstrings, and the musketeers had raised their muskets. The slinger was already crouching beside the rolling rock, and the shield-bearer held his shield aloft. The rest of the soldiers were also holding their weapons.

"Boom ......"

The remaining thirty or so catapults attacked, and countless boulders rose into the air and smashed towards the arrow towers outside the city.

Good luck!

Just this round of attacks, smashed down an arrow tower, watching the collapse of the arrow tower, Luo Xin couldn't help but cheer suddenly, the Ming soldiers above the city were in high spirits, and there was no fear in their hearts.

"Bang ......"

Countless ladders leaned against the city wall, and the grassland coalition army bit the scimitar in their mouths, holding the ladders with both hands, and quickly climbed towards the top of the city.

"Whoosh ......"

Outside the city, 10,000 grassland cavalry began to shoot arrows to suppress the Ming soldiers above the city. The grassland shooters above the arrow tower were also shooting at the Ming soldiers above the city, and a scream sounded from time to time above the city, and a soldier died under the arrow.

"Whoosh ......"

Not to be outdone, the Ming archers fought back, and at the same time, rolling logs and stones were thrown down from the city walls. There was a scream from the top of the ladder, and one by one the steppe soldiers fell down from the ladder.

"Boom ......"

The catapults struck again, boulders flying, the bowstrings in and around the city dense and tooth-chilling, and the arrows in the air obscuring the sky and the sun. Rolling logs and stones were constantly thrown down from the city, grassland soldiers continued to fall from the ladders, and at the same time, the Ming soldiers above the city also fell under the arrows from time to time.

This is a high-intensity confrontation, high-intensity attack and defense, everyone on both sides of the attack and defense tensed their nerves, and the whole city was miserable.

Emperor Jiajing sat in the imperial study, and under him sat Xu Jie, Gao Gong and Lu Bing.

From time to time, eunuchs sent messages in, and the atmosphere in the imperial study was extremely solemn. One message after another circulated in the hands of the four people, and when they saw that the oil tank had been used up, the expression on their faces became even more solemn. The four of them looked out the window at the same time.

The sky gradually darkened, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door, a eunuch walked in quickly from the gate, Huang Jin took the bamboo tube from the eunuch's hand, and quickly came to Emperor Jiajing, and put the bamboo tube in front of Emperor Jiajing. Emperor Jiajing took out the silk silk from the bamboo tube, and as soon as his eyes fell on the handwriting on the silk silk, his expression changed, and Huo Ran stood up.

Emperor Jiajing's move made Xu Jie, Gao Gong and Lu Bing's hearts beat violently, and they couldn't help but stand up, looking at Emperor Jiajing urgently. Emperor Jiajing pale and handed the silk silk in his hand to Lu Bing, who quickly read it and handed it to Xu Jie. And Gao Gong couldn't wait for Xu Jie to pass the silk to him, leaned his head over, and then his face changed greatly.

"The Tartars have taken the city?"

Xu Jie's face was solemn, and when he looked up at the sky again, his face became even more solemn. Emperor Jiajing looked at the sky outside the window and said faintly:

"You say...... Will Luo Xin be able to hold on? ”

"Yes!"

The first to answer was Lu Bing, because he knew at this time that even if Luo Xin couldn't keep it, he had to say that he would hold it at this time. Otherwise, Emperor Jiajing's heart was in a mess, and he made something to remove some of the soldiers of the three major battalions to protect him to break through and flee towards Nanjing, so even if the capital could have been defended, there was no hope of holding it.

Xu Jie's lips moved, and his heart was really frightened. He really wanted to say the words of letting Emperor Jiajing lead his troops to break through and flee to Nanjing, but when he thought of the consequences, he closed his mouth sensibly. He had a kind of resentment towards Luo Xin in his heart at this time. If it weren't for Luo Xin's recklessness and early agreement to move the capital to Nanjing, where would there be danger at this time?

Gao Gong also kept his mouth closed, he was an old-fashioned person who didn't understand Luo Xin, so he couldn't answer Emperor Jiajing's question. Emperor Jiajing looked at Lu Bingdao:

"Why do you think Luo Xinneng can do it?"

"I believe in Luo Xin!" Lu Bing said firmly: "Because he has never been defeated, even now, the casualties of the grassland coalition army are far greater than ours, in this regard, Luo Xin is still not defeated!" ”

"However, the Tartars still attacked the city!"

"Weichen believes that Lord Luo will be able to beat the Tartars again."

Emperor Jiajing's gaze looked at Gao Gong: "Gao Qing, what do you think?" ”

Gao Gong shook his head honestly and said, "The minister doesn't know!" The minister doesn't know much about Lord Luo, but as Lord Lu said, Lord Luo has not been defeated so far, and His Majesty should believe Lord Luo. ”

Emperor Jiajing looked at Xu Jie, at this time Xu Jie's heart had already calculated, even if he wanted to break through and flee to Nanjing, it was not this time. At this time, the soldiers of the three major battalions were fighting fiercely above the city, and they could not withdraw at all. If you insist on withdrawing, it will inevitably cause panic, and the capital will be broken in an instant. Therefore, even if you want to break through and escape, you have to wait until the steppe coalition retreats and night falls. Therefore, at this time, it is absolutely necessary to give Emperor Jiajing confidence, and not to make Emperor Jiajing upset. When even like Lu Bing, he nodded firmly and said:

"Yes, looking at Lord Luo's defense for more than ten days, and his past achievements, Lord Luo will definitely be able to hold it."

Seeing that the three important ministers all believed in Luo Xin, Emperor Jiajing's heart was slightly calm. He returned to the imperial book case and sat down, silent. Lu Bing said softly:

"Your Majesty, don't worry, now there are only more than two quarters of an hour left before dusk, and I believe that Lord Luo will be able to hold on."

Emperor Jiajing nodded, but he didn't want to say anything more. But the face is a little better. The four of them sat in the imperial study, no one spoke, although the four of them were trying to calm down, but between their eyebrows they couldn't hide the anxiety in their hearts. And from time to time the four of them looked up at the sky outside the window, and the four of them had never looked forward to the darkness so much as they did today.

"It's dark!"

Huang Jin's excited voice suddenly sounded in the silent imperial study, and the four of them looked up and saw that the sky outside had already darkened. The four of them couldn't help but stand up, at this time, there were hurried footsteps outside the door, a eunuch walked in quickly, Huang Jin greeted him, took the bamboo tube in the eunuch's hand, and walked quickly towards Emperor Jiajing. Emperor Jiajing couldn't wait for Huang Jin to come, stepped forward, and snatched the bamboo tube from Huang Jin's hand, while Xu Jie, Lu Bing and Gao Gong also forgot the etiquette of the monarch and ministers at this time, and came to Emperor Jiajing's side one after another, poking their heads out.

Then the four of them all let out a long breath, and Emperor Jiajing suddenly walked briskly towards the gate and said:

"Go to the North City!"
