Chapter 164: Danger is like an egg
(Today's toothache is terrible, my head is blank, I owe a chapter, and I will make up for it tomorrow morning.) I'm sorry! )
Yanghe Acropolis burst into a murderous scene, and the Mongol Tatars first seized control of the north gate after entering the city from the north gate. The garrisons of the city relied on the walls to face these bloodthirsty tartars, but once they fought head-to-face, their low combat effectiveness and weak will to fight were exposed.
The battle of the entire north gate was settled in the blink of an eye, dozens of soldiers on duty at night were killed on the spot, the initiator Zheng Sijiu knew that he was guilty and held the determination to let go, rushed to the front in the Mongolian Tartars to the death, but survived in such a strong hand-to-hand combat with all beards and tails. The soldiers fought and retreated, and witnessed the death and wounding of Zheng Sijiu's soldiers who opened the iron gate. And Zheng Sijiu's single-minded behavior of seeking death fell in the eyes of his companions, and he became a model of not fearing death and fighting bravely to kill the enemy.
Eventually, the Mongol Tatars succeeded in seizing control of the northern gate, and after that, they did not continue to expand their gains on the city walls, because the vast majority of their forces had to stay outside the city to respond. The other part of the city after entering the city, the long drive straight in, straight to the Yang and Wei command and Gao Shanwei to command the envoy and go, capture the thief and capture the king first, as long as the Yang and the acropolis in the two command institutions are all eliminated, the resistance of a large number of Ming troops in the city will be completely collapsed.
However, when the fate of the Ming army should not be extinguished, Yang Hewei experienced Mao Weizhang and a sentry patrolling the city to meet the Mongolian Tartars who entered the city, after identifying that the other party was actually a Mongolian Tartar, he was shocked, and decisively ordered fireworks to set off a warning, and at the same time led his troops to fight with the Mongolian Tartars' pioneers entering the city.
After the initial chaos, more and more small Ming troops gathered around Mao Weizhang, and they swept away the previous disadvantages and became more and more courageous. However, under the powerful offensive of the Tartars, they fought and retreated, and retreated straight to the Yamen of the Yang Hewei Command Envoy, and only then did they stand on their feet with the high and deep courtyard wall.
According to this situation, the fall of Yang Hewei is only a matter of time, and the commander is not in the Wei Si Yamen at the critical moment. Several of them were on errands in the General Military Mansion of Datong Town, commanding the Ming official army with the strongest combat effectiveness in Yanghe Acropolis, while Mao Weizhang only had the errand of commanding the envoys, and he couldn't transfer the border troops in the city at all.
As for the guards around him, he can withstand a momentary crisis, but if he wants to counterattack and turn the tables, he can't. Now Mao Weizhang is led by almost the most elite guards in Yanghe Guard. According to the normal arrangement tonight, he was supposed to be on duty in the yamen, but someone suddenly reported that there was a fire in the city, so he hurried to the north gate with someone to personally supervise the formation. Unexpectedly, on the way, they happened to encounter the Mongol Tartars who had raided into the city, so that the Ming army in the city had time to warn and react.
Mao Weizhang made people tightly hold the gate with a wooden pole, and at the same time summoned all the men who could fight in the yamen, from the secretary office to the soap miscellaneous servants, all of whom were organized by him, ready to make the last desperate fight.
After the Mongol Tatars entered the city, the soldiers divided into two routes, one to Yang Hewei to command the envoy Yamen, and the other to Gaoshan Wei to command the envoy Yamen. Although the dispersion of troops led each way, although it was like a bamboo, after encountering strong resistance, it often lacked stamina, and the battle outside the Yamen of Yang and Wei Wei Si fell into this dilemma.
But the addition of another force soon turned the situation around. A group of men dressed as Han Chinese joined the warband, but instead of attacking the Mongol Tatars, they helped them attack the Weisi Yamen.
After Mao Weizhang witnessed the changes outside the courtyard on the high platform erected in the yamen, he couldn't help gritting his teeth, how could the traitors in the city jump out and fall into the well at this time, how could he not be angry.
The traitors brought torches soaked in fire oil and threw them into the courtyard of the Weisi Yamen, and soon some houses were set on fire and a raging fire broke out. Unfortunately, there were not enough people in the courtyard, and Mao Weizhang could only look at the fire that was getting stronger and stronger and sighed in vain.
Seeing that the shape was already extremely bad, Mao Weizhang couldn't understand how the originally impregnable Yang and Acropolis had fallen to this step. During the day, he had just gotten the news that he had gone to Datong Mansion to ask for reinforcements and brought back the soldiers, and both the General Military Mansion and the Xingdu Division had asked Yang Hewei to take a few days on the grounds that it would take time to promote the troops.
Originally, he didn't take this to heart, and even if there were no reinforcements, it would not be a problem to defend it for a few months and a half. But what I never expected was that the traitors in the city had been rampant to such a field, thinking that the sudden destruction of the city by the Mongol Tartars must be the result of the traitors' actions, and now they are openly assembling to attack the Weisi Yamen, obviously they have already formed a tight organizational formation, but they have been negligent.
Now that he has reaped the consequences and regretted it too late, Mao Weizhang can't help but cry, and he has to bear the trust of the court, so he can only die for the country.
Just when Mao Weizhang Zaiyang and the Yamen of the Wei Wei Division were gradually in a desperate situation, Gao Shanwei's situation was also not optimistic, and Yang Hewei's command Qiu Gong and Gao Shanwei's command Yao Zhenglong were both here.
It was a coincidence that night, Gao Shanwei commanded Yao Zhenglong to invite Yang and Wei to invite Qiu Gong to discuss the defense against the Mongol Tatars. These two guards are in a city, it is a long story, Gao Shanwei was originally placed in Shandong Xingdu Division during the Hongwu period, that is, Datong Mansion, and later destroyed in the Mongolian border battle, so in the Yongle period then migrated to Baoding Mansion Zhili, until the Xuanhe period moved from Baoding to govern Yang and the Acropolis.
In short, due to various historical reasons, resulting in the situation that the two governors are now in the same city, Gao Shanwei is a guest residence, so it is also more embarrassing in terms of status, and everything must be dominated by Yang and Wei. Yao Zhenglong's name is a banquet, but in fact it has other plans.
Since the Mongol Tatars attacked the city, this Yao Zhenglong has not shown up, and Qiu Gong has sent people to invite him several times to discuss the matter of jointly defending the palace, but he has been pushed away under the pretext of being sick. Yang and Wei is Qiu Gong's governing place, where is he still in the mood to drink and feast, this time Yao Zhenglong took the initiative to ask to meet, and he didn't care about what status and humility, who should go to see whose rules and conventions, as soon as the sky was dark, he personally went to the Yamen of the Gaoshan Wei Division.
Gao Shanwei commanded Yao Zhenglong, like Qiu Gong, was the deputy general of the General Military Mansion of Datong Town, and his subordinates were in charge of the border army along the border wall of the two guards. Since the side walls are mostly in the territory of Yang and Wei, the garrisons are also the border troops of Qiu Gong's department. Therefore, the border troops under Yao Zhenglong were basically in the periphery of Yanghe Acropolis, while the border troops under Qiu Gong were much less in Yanghe Acropolis.
The reason why Qiu Gong was anxious to see Yao Zhenglong was to ask him to send men and horses to help him resist the Mongol Tartars.
Speaking of which, Yang Hewei's commander is also aggrieved, obviously Yang and the Acropolis belong to Yang Hewei, but they also have to shelter the parasite-like Gao Shanwei, and on weekdays, Gao Shanwei always competes with the host for power and profit, but when he encounters a situation where the Tartars are committing crimes, they often shrink like the turtle king.
This time, the Mongolian Tatars invaded the territory, and Yao Zhenglong's expression was exactly like this.
Qiu Gong felt that Yao Zhenglong's conscience had discovered it, and he was ready to take the initiative to take the responsibility of fighting the Tartars. Who knew that Yao Zhenglong told him that Datong Mansion had transferred his border army, including even a part of the city to leave as soon as possible.
This is obviously an excuse to slip away, and it is clear that the General Military Office will send troops to the rescue later after the day The General Military Office has replied, and this Yao Zhenglong is clearly talking nonsense with his eyes open at this time. Qiu Gong turned his face and flipped the table on the spot, pointing at Yao Zhenglong's nose and scolding.
And threatened.
"If your surname Yao can get out of the four gates of Yang and the Acropolis, I won't be surnamed Qiu."
When the words are ruthless, the actions are also ruthless, even if they send people to inform the men and the garrisons, without the warrant of the guards and yamen, it is strictly forbidden to let anyone out of the city. Immediately, he left the Yamen of the Gaoshan Guard Division with more than a dozen followers, not wanting to meet the Mongolian Tartars galloping as soon as he went out.
Qiu Gong was shocked and angry, shocked how the Mongol Tatars broke the city? Are the guards who are angry at the gate all eat dry food? He didn't allow him to think too much, so he immediately led more than a dozen people under his command to kill him, and at the same time sent people to various important yamen in the city to call the police.
In the blink of an eye, Qiu Gong fell into a heavy encirclement, Qiu Gong was dressed in the regular uniform of a military attaché of the third grade, and the Mongolian Tartars naturally knew it, and he couldn't get out if he wanted to. Qiu Gong's family members used their lives to block attacks from all directions, but they were lonely, and they were about to be killed by the Tartars.
The commotion and shouts of killing in the streets soon alarmed Yao Zhenglong, and his subordinates and commanders were also gearing up and preparing to go out to relieve the siege. But Yao Zhenglong suddenly laughed.
"Qiu Gong, Qiu Gong, how long can you be rampant today? Listen to it, the Tartars outside are so powerful that no one is allowed to go out without an order, so keep the yard for me! ”
After Yao Zhenglong gave the order, he hurried back to the backyard with a few henchmen, and has not appeared since.
The street just a door away was already splattered with blood on the spot, and the family members all died in an instant, Qiu Gong was deeply encircled, and was stabbed three times in his body. The saber cut through the brocade robe, and the cut on his back was deep into the bones, and the flesh and skin of the wound were turned outward, and blood was dripping ...... But as if he didn't know the pain, he waved the Yanling knife in his hand and killed three Tartars in a row. After losing his strength, he suddenly lost his center of gravity, and one of them was unsteady on his feet, and he fell forward. With a bang, Yan Ling's knife was plunged straight into the ground, Qiu Gong knelt on one knee, and then stabilized his body, and there was another violent cough, and he couldn't help but spurt out a mouthful of blood.
The Mongolian Tartars are good at horse warfare, although the foot combat is rusty but also lost the advantage, Qiu Gong to the death of each other, a row of more than ten people, all shocked, where they are frightened to avoid, at this time to see that he has fallen to the ground and does not support, and the mouth spurts blood, then he swarmed up again, the sabers have been cut down!
