Chapter 34 The Emperor Arrives

The people and horses who came to attack Tong Guan's General Mansion were a hundred people led by Shuo Dai, and he also knew that on the side of the General Staff's Mansion, there were the main soldiers and horses stationed in Yuanbao. Of course, he also knew that his mission was also very sacred. Only by restraining the main force in the city can we buy time for the soldiers who capture the city.

He took a hundred people with him, and before he could reach the gate of the General's Mansion, he was discovered by the patrol soldiers outside, so he showed his weapons and fought. There were only a few soldiers on patrol, and all of them were cut down by the Tartars, and those who followed hurriedly went to the General's Mansion to report the news. Shuo Dai led people to follow and kill to the general's mansion, because he beat the soldiers guarding the door by surprise, he quickly took the door of the mansion and snatched it in. The guards fought and retreated, just bypassing the wall, Tong Zhou commanded the guards in the palace to win, and the retreating soldiers saw that the reinforcements arrived, and their spirits were shocked, and they turned to force forward.

The two sides fought in front of the General's Mansion.

Ninety percent of the Tartar soldiers here are Han Chinese, and there are only ten Jurchens, so you can imagine how effective they are. Of course, a tartar without a horse is not much different from a Han soldier. The guards on Tong Guan's Mansion are four or five times larger than the other party, and the enemy has no horses, so the strength and weakness are obvious. Within a few moments, the Tartars had killed more than forty people.

The general's mansion is fighting here, this is a military area, all the soldiers and horses who live there, how can they not hear the movement, the generals of each battalion immediately led the soldiers, rushed to this side, came to the gate of the mansion, two times this bag clamp, the Tartars only left the stubborn resistance, and in a moment, all of them were cut down to the ground. The leading Shuo Dai is tenacious, but no matter how hard he is, what is the use of facing so many officers and soldiers, he was shot three times in his body, plus four knives, and finally fell weakly.

Tong Xuan knew that these enemies were nothing more than small dishes, which the Tartars used to contain themselves (. Therefore, after he stepped on the corpse of Shuo Dai, he shouted loudly: "The Tartars are now rushing to seize the gate, and they must not be allowed to succeed, otherwise we will die without a place to be buried, brothers, come with me to the gate now to reinforce and guard the gate!" Chang Qi, you take 500 people to maintain order at the south gate, and you are not allowed to enter! ”

"The last general obeys!" Chang Qi is a thousand generals, and after receiving the general's order, he immediately took 500 people to the south gate.

Tong Xuan took the other horses and hurried towards the north gate. Although Laiyuan Fort is not large, there are many defenders, and the full strength is 8,000 people. Because Wu Sinan and Sima Qiaoyu are both strict people, the upper Liang is positive, and the lower Liang dare to be outside, and no general dares to eat empty quotas, so the soldiers and horses are exactly 8,000.

The battle on the side of the North Gate has reached a fever pitch, with nearly half of the Tartar soldiers killed and wounded, and it is gradually difficult to parry. But the city gate still can't be closed, it's a mess, the merchants on the other side of the horse market have all come, desperately drilling into the city gate hole, but the city gate hole has been stuffed solidly, to tell the truth, the Mongols and officers and soldiers who had been slashing and killing before have been unable to fight, huddled together, want to do it, at most with their teeth.

At this moment, the dust was flying in the distance, the horses' hooves were loud, and a group of men and horses rushed over. How many people and horses, I can't see it at all, they are tightly wrapped in dust and sand, and there is no other taboo when they look at it with big eyes.

When the merchants outside the city gate saw this scene, they were frightened, and they knew that the Tartars were coming.

"Here comes the Tartars!" "Come into town!" "If we don't go in, we'll die!" ……

With the shouting, the people outside not only squeezed inside, but also began to push forward. The people in the cave of the city gate don't even need to lift their legs to be pushed forward. This is good, outside the city gate, it is even more chaotic, there are many people and great strength, and the people in the city gate hole finally rushed in. The Mongols took advantage of the fire to rob, slashed and killed officers and soldiers, and ordinary merchants were running around with their heads in their hands.

And at this moment, the Tartar also came to the gate of the camp outside the city. They knew that the camp was full of traps, so they dismounted one after another, carried their weapons, and rushed towards the camp.

Outside Beijing, Yuan Chonghuan's forward generals were calling the door, and the soldiers in the city immediately ran down, saying that they were reporting to the guards and opening the city gate again. The forward general was happy in his heart, and the soldiers guarding the city were really fooled, and he only said that he had a purpose, and went to open the door.

However, after waiting for a while, there was no reply, and the city gate was still closed, and even the drawbridge was not lowered. There are moats under the city, and the moat in Beijing is still very wide, and the cavalry can't fly over.

Seeing that there was no movement in the city, the general could only shout loudly again: "Why don't you open the city yet, we are waiting for the order to enter Beijing!" ”

His voice had just settled when he suddenly heard a shout from the city.

"The emperor has arrived!"

After this voice, the vanguard general was stunned, followed by a noisy shout from the city, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”……

"The Qing family is flat!" The voice was not loud, apparently from a teenager. Of course, his voice could not be heard by the people in the city, but in the city, a noisy shout sounded, "Long live Xie!" ”……

With this shout, the city can see that the dragon flag and the imperial crown appear above the city.

"It's really the emperor." "It's really the emperor." ……

When the soldiers under the city saw this posture, they immediately began to talk about it, and it was difficult to distinguish between the top and bottom in their hearts.

The person who went to the city was indeed the current emperor Zhu Ciyan, and beside him, there were Liu Mingguo of the ceremonial supervisor, Cao Huachun of Dongchang, and Zhao Zhi. followed by hundreds of civil and military officials, it can be said that the momentum is very great, but I didn't see Yue Su's shadow.

Zhu Ciyan stood on top of the city tower and glanced at the Guanning Iron Cavalry who were in formation below, and couldn't help but panic. However, he forced his composure and said, "Where did you come from?" ”

His voice was not too loud, and the city couldn't hear it clearly, Liu Mingguo, who was standing next to him, quickly pulled up his throat and shouted: "The emperor asked you, where did the soldiers and horses come from?" ”

"I ...... We are...... The soldiers and horses from Liaodong ......," the vanguard general under the city said rather embarrassed (.

"Then why don't you kneel when you see the emperor?" Liu Mingguo asked loudly.

"This ......"

This time, the general was even more embarrassed, and he didn't know how to answer. When taking the oath this morning, Yuan Chonghuan told them that he had come to Fengtian to rebel, overthrow the current emperor, and establish King Xin as the emperor. Moreover, Yuan Chonghuan's plan is also very simple, taking advantage of the unpreparedness in the city and the city gate is not closed, he suddenly enters the city, and then holds the emperor hostage in the Forbidden City, and it will be over. However, what people didn't expect was that when they arrived at the city, the city gate had been closed, and he falsely claimed that he had come by order, but the emperor was standing on the city.

Not to mention him, even the soldiers around him didn't know how to get better, they looked at each other one by one, and wanted to dismount and kneel, but because they were not the first to kneel, it was really difficult to lead the head.

Liu Mingguo saw that no one knelt, so he became even more angry, and shouted loudly: "Since you are the officers and soldiers of Liaodong, that is, the soldiers and horses of the imperial court, why do you not kneel when you see the emperor." Also, who ordered you to come here, did you want to rebel? ”

The people below who asked this question were even more temperless, and the rebellion had this plan, but they didn't expect to encounter such a thing. At this moment, the city gate is closed, and they can't fly to the city, and they can't go back if they want to, it's a dilemma, and the generals with the troops can't answer.

"The soldiers and horses of Liaodong are all under the command of Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Jiliao, and we ask you, where is Yuan Chonghuan now?" Liu Mingguo saw that the people below did not answer, and asked loudly again.

"Yuan, Inspector Yuan is ...... behind" is just this sentence, and the pioneer can barely answer.

"Then don't tell Yuan Chonghuan quickly, just say that the emperor is waiting for him in the city, let him come over quickly!" Liu Mingguo shouted loudly again.

"Yes, yes......" The pioneer didn't dare to say much, and immediately ordered someone to go to the back to find Yuan Chonghuan and tell him about the situation here.

Yuan Chonghuan led the Chinese army behind, and at this moment he had received a report that the city gate was closed, the moat was blocking the way, and the soldiers and horses could not pass at all. Getting this news, Yuan Chonghuan was taken aback, this was what he was afraid of. Once the sneak attack fails, his own soldiers and horses will not be able to attack Beijing at all, and at that time, he will no longer be a rebel against heaven, but a traitorous minister.

Even though he is familiar with the art of war, he also knows that it is impossible for him to win, and the only way may be to run. But run, where can you run, here is the world of the Ming Dynasty, even the soldiers, they are also the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, the vast world, maybe there is no place for themselves from now on. He felt remorse in his heart, but it was too late, so he could only look at King Fu, who was walking with him, and said: "Lord, at this time, the city gate is closed, what can the prince do, break open the city gate, and lead the army into the city?" ”

"This ......" When he learned that the city gate was closed, Zhu Youxiang was already stunned, and he would not lead the troops. Now that I heard the news, my breath was gone, and the whole thing was like a deflated ball, and I couldn't say why I came for a long time.

"Rubbish! Why did Ben Shuai get confused in the first place, and believed your words! "Yuan Chonghuan is now gritting his teeth, and he can't wait to eat the Fu King around him raw.

At this time, a soldier Pegasus rushed over, came to Yuan Chonghuan's horse, turned over and dismounted, knelt on one knee, and said loudly: "Qi Yu Dashuai, now the emperor is standing at the head of the city, let Dashuai come forward to speak!" ”

"Ah......" As soon as he heard this, where could Yuan Chonghuan withstand such a blow, his body was crooked, and the person was directly planted from the horse.

When the general next to him saw the handsome man fall, he hurriedly came over to help.

"Dashuai!" "Dashuai!" ……

Yuan Chonghuan fainted in a hurry, pinched the middle of the people, and the people woke up. Yuan Chonghuan is now weak in his limbs, and he doesn't know what to do, so he just muttered: "It's too late to regret it, my life will rest...... Alas...... How can I have the face to meet the emperor......"
