(Thanks to qiuguhan for the evaluation votes, thanks to the fat boy soldier for the reward, Xie Lu thanks.) ）

Azig's brutality, did not inspire the fighting spirit of the Ming soldiers, the passage of the place, the sergeant ran without a trace, seeing this situation, Azig was even more arrogant, three days later, the army arrived at the periphery of Changping City, only ten miles away from Changping City.

The 100,000-strong army finally reconciled.

Azig learned that the tomb of Ming Xizong was burned down, and the three thousand Ming troops guarding the tomb were all killed.

The Forbidden City's Heart Nourishing Palace.

Zhu Youzhen learned that the tomb of Ming Xizong was destroyed and burned, he was silent for a long time, he wanted to lose his temper, but there was no place to vent his anger, the situation in various places came up comprehensively, after Azig entered the pass, he wantonly looted and slaughtered, where he passed, there was no grass, there was no human population, and all the crops that were planted were destroyed, and there was thick smoke billowing everywhere along the way, and the corpses of soldiers and people were seen everywhere, and no one collected them, it was like hell on earth.

Azig's trajectory is obviously aimed at Changping Mansion, which is only more than 100 miles away from the capital, if Azig goes crazy and launches an operation against the Jingshi, it will be a headache.

The holy decree has been issued, Liang Tingdong of Datong and Su Tiancheng of Henan Mansion should receive the holy decree in the near future and lead the army to the capital, Datong is only 800 miles away from the capital, hurry up, and it can be arrived in three days, Lu Xiangsheng stopped the pace of Azig at Juyong Pass, delayed for three days, this is very precious time, at least for the Datong border army to buy time. It can also make the capital more prepared.

Yang Sichang's face turned pale and he entered the Heart Cultivation Palace.

Seeing Yang Sichang's face, Zhu Youzhen's heart sank a little.

"Yang Aiqing, has the Datong border army already set off?"

"Your Majesty, Datong Governor Fu Liang Tingdong replied that preparations are underway. In the same direction, Yan Datong also found the Houjin Tartars, and the border army needs to wait, I am afraid that they will not be able to draw too many troops to go to Beijing. ”

Zhu Youzhen pointed at Yang Sichang, so angry that he was speechless.

This is obviously a fear of death, although the combat effectiveness of the Datong border army is not strong, but compared with the guard army in the Changping area, it is still slightly better. After all, after contacting the Golden Tartar, he had more time, and he didn't expect Liang Tingdong to find such a reason.

Yang Sichang saw Zhu Youzhen's face and hurriedly spoke again.

"Liang Tingdong has already said that he is counting the sergeants and getting ready, and strive to arrive in Beijing before June 25."

A sneering look appeared on Zhu Youzhen's face.

"Hmph, it's only June 11. Starting from Datong, it actually took half a month. I don't know how long it will take Liang Tingdong to prepare, but I see that he simply waits for the Tartars to besiege the capital, and comes to see the excitement. ”

"The emperor is angry, and the minister will urge the Datong border army to rush to Beijing as soon as possible."

"Is there any news from the Jiangning camp?"

"The minister has not yet received news from the Jiangning camp, and Luoyang, Henan Province is close to two thousand miles away from the Beijing Division. I'm afraid it will take some time for the Jiangning camp to arrive in the capital, and the minister expects that the Jiangning camp will be able to arrive at the end of the month, which will be considered good. ”

Zhu Youzhen sighed lightly. The Jiangning battalion is far away from the capital, this is also a matter of no way, tens of thousands of soldiers, it takes time to rush to the capital, what he thinks of at the moment is that the reinforcements from all over the country, the sooner they arrive in the capital, the smaller the loss can be, if they wait until the Houjin Tartars plunder, come to the capital, there is no longer much meaning.

Yang Sichang walked out of the Heart Cultivation Hall and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead.

There is an emergency everywhere, he is at a loss, and the Houjin Tartars have surrounded Changping Mansion and began to attack, in Changping Mansion, all the sergeants combined, but more than 20,000 people, against the attack of 100,000 troops, it is impossible to support a long time, and when the time comes, if the Datong border army cannot arrive, the land of Gyeonggi will suffer heavy losses.

Such a situation has exceeded the scope he expected, the border army of the Ningjin defense line will never dare to move, the Ningjin defense line guards the north gate of the Beijing Division, and it has always been a place that Houjin is afraid of and coveted, and it is precisely because of this defense line that the pressure on the north of the Beijing Division is much smaller.

Judging from the current situation, Liang Tingdong of Datong is afraid of the Houjin Tartars, this is already an indisputable fact, Liaodong Economic Strategy Zhang Fengyi and Liaodong Governor Lu Xiangsheng, including Xiong Wencan, the left attendant of the military department, are all besieged in Changping Mansion, I don't know if there will be any trouble in Ludao, if these three people are killed, or captured by the Tartars, it will be an unimaginable situation.

The Datong border army, I'm afraid it won't be able to be relied on for the time being, and the rest is the Jiangning battalion.

But the distance is too far, and there is a taste of far water that does not quench thirst.

Azig's invasion of the Guannai this time, if the losses caused are too heavy, he, the secretary of the military department, has not yet sat on the hot ass, and he will be ready to take the blame and resign.

Dead horses are used as live horse doctors, at this time, Yang Sichang can only continue to urge Liang Tingdong in Datong in the name of the Ministry of War, and quickly lead the army to relieve the siege, the focus is to solve the trouble in Changping, at least to rescue Zhang Fengyi, Lu Xiangsheng and Xiong Wencan.

Changping Mansion City.

The air is extraordinarily solemn, and the entire Changping Mansion City has been under martial law.

Lu Xiangsheng led Wang Pu to wait for the heat, and after entering Changping Mansion, the city gate was immediately closed.

This is the result of Lu Xiangsheng's insistence, closing the city gate, opening the city gate every day, no more than an hour, the inspection procedure is very strict, this is done, on the one hand, to prevent the Houjin spies from mixing into the city, the inside and the outside should be combined, so that the army can not be prevented, and the other purpose is also to show the determination to live and die with the city of Changping.

The morale of the sergeants is low, this is the most troublesome thing for Zhang Fengyi, Lu Xiangsheng and Xiong Wencan, in fact, not only the sergeants below, but also Zhang Fengyi himself, they don't have much confidence, how can more than 20,000 sergeants resist the siege of 100,000 troops, and in the absence of reinforcements.

The Changping Prefecture has been temporarily requisitioned as the headquarters of the army.

Zhang Fengyi, Lu Xiangsheng and Xiong Wencan entered the secret room, where they wanted to discuss what to do next.

Looking at Lu Xiangsheng and Xiong Wencan, Zhang Fengyi's face barely showed a smile.

"Lord Lu fought against the Houjin Tartars in Juyong Pass, and he did a very good job, he bought time, and the emperor still issued an order to recruit the Datong border army and the Jiangning battalion and rush to the capital, I believe that it will not take long for the crisis of the Beijing division to be lifted."

Lu Xiangsheng's face did not have much expression, Changping Mansion was facing a vicious battle, at this time, Zhang Fengyi still said these words, what is the effect, the battle of Juyongguan, he has already learned the courage of the Houjin Tartars, it stands to reason that the Ming sergeant, face to face and Houjin Tartar fighting, will not have any chance of winning, but if it is the same enemy, the whole heart is one, guarding the city, there is still hope, after all, the 100,000 Tartars of Houjin, there is not much support.

In the city of Changping Prefecture, there are still a lot of people, and at the very moment, organizing these people can at least make up for the lack of manpower.

Zhang Fengyi should have talked about this matter, instead of looking back at the battle at Juyong Pass.

Xiong Wencan lowered his head and didn't say anything.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Fengyi spoke again.

"The two adults, the 100,000 Tartars of Houjin, besieged Changping Mansion, it is estimated that it is more auspicious and less auspicious, I see if it is a fold for the emperor and the military department, if you can't hold on, break through the siege and keep the limited number of troops."

Zhang Fengyi had just finished speaking, and Lu Xiangsheng spoke.

"My lord, the lower officials feel that it is inappropriate, the Tartars lack siege equipment, most of them are cavalry, although brave, but may not be able to fully display, Changping Mansion, there are more than 20,000 soldiers, and more than 70,000 people, it is close to 100,000 people, very moment, these people can be organized, resist the Houjin Tartars, you must know that when the city is broken, the jade is burned, I believe the people also understand, since the Datong border army and the Jiangning battalion have received the holy decree, presumably they will soon rush to Beijing, Datong is not far from Beijing, It is less than 700 miles away from Changping Mansion, as long as we hold the city, the Datong border army will arrive soon, and at that time, the Tartars will have to think about it, and it will be unfavorable for them to fall into the siege of the soldiers. ”

Xiong Wencan, who had not spoken, finally spoke.

"Xia Guan thinks that it is better to prepare with both hands, Changping Mansion City, although there are so many people, but they have not experienced battlefield fighting, and they may not be able to play much of a role, not until the very moment, don't count on them, as for the Datong border army, I don't know when Lu Dao will rush to the capital, will he go to Changping Mansion to relieve the siege, so on the one hand, he must report the situation of Changping Mansion to the imperial court, and on the other hand, he must organize the sergeants to resist desperately, and if he is helpless, he can also consider the way to break through."

Lu Xiang stood up angrily, the big war was imminent, and among the main generals, such thoughts appeared, so vacillating, how could it be possible to organize the soldiers to resist with all their might, and how to mobilize the people to resist.

"Lord Lu, don't be excited, I know what you think, in the past two days, there have been a large number of people fleeing from Changping Mansion City, I didn't stop it, if you can't stop it, he will go, in fact, leaving Changping Mansion City, where can there be a way out, Houjin Tartars are all cavalry, and it is easy to deal with unarmed people."

Lu Xiangsheng's heart began to sink, at such a moment, how can the people in the city leave, the people don't know the way, it is normal to be panicked and afraid, and it is not so embarrassing to think about escaping, but the army is stationed in the city, and it is necessary to stabilize the psychology of the people, and tell the people that there is no way to survive if they escape from the city, which is the most basic way to deal with it.

"My lord, the lower officials think that they can't continue to let the people in the city leave, they can't escape, the reason why the Houjin Tartars did not immediately besiege the Changping Mansion City may be their tricks, the people went out of the city, in fact, they were sent to death, yesterday and the day before yesterday, the lower officials saw that some farmers poured into the city, and these people should be strictly inspected to prevent the spies of the Houjin Tartars from mixing in."

Zhang Fengyi nodded, but he was obviously a little absent-minded, as if he didn't care much about Lu Xiangsheng's opinions.

"Lord Lu, this matter of guarding the city is still under your full command, and all arrangements are up to you to decide." (To be continued......)
