As he walked, Hong Chengchou told the official to send someone to inform Shuntian Mansion Yin that he would come to the Forbidden City to report to him no matter what, and then under the protection of the leader of the forbidden army, he passed through the gate of the palace and went all the way to Chengtianmen. He hesitated for a moment under the Chengtian Gate, and then resolutely climbed up again.

This tower, which symbolizes the imperial power of the Ming Dynasty, is not something that ordinary people can go up to, but they are in a hurry to obey the power, and they can't take care of a lot. After Hong Chengchou went up to the city tower, he suddenly felt that his eyes were unprecedentedly open, as if the entire city of Beijing had been trampled under his feet, this feeling was really strange and subtle.

But the next scene shocked him for a long time and didn't come back to his senses. It is not only the Dashi Yongfang in the south of the city that is on fire, but also the Yongfang, Xianyifang and even more squares in the west, which have been affected by the fire, and everywhere is shrouded in thick smoke.

One of the most dangerous locations is the Governor's Mansion and the Six Ministries Courtyard, which are closely adjacent to the Great Shi Yongfang, where all the central institutions of the Ming Empire are located, and the fire is spreading eastward with the help of the wind. After understanding the general shape of the fire, Hong Chengchou hurriedly got down the Chengtianmen Tower, and went out through the Benmen, just arrived at the West Chang'an Street outside the six courtyards of the Governor's Mansion, and heard the sound of horses' hooves from afar.

"Governor Hong walks slowly, wait for the miscellaneous ......"

The voice is sharp and penetrating, you don't need to look at it to know that it is a eunuch, but when he looked back, he was stunned, where are these eunuchs, it is clearly a group of forbidden soldiers with bright armor.

"The warriors of the Imperial Horse Supervisor Teng Xiangwei have been ordered by the Lord of Ceremonies to listen to the dispatch of Commander Hong, please give an order on how to save the law from this fire!"

The leading eunuch looked at him about thirty times, and he spoke very happily, and the fire spread very quickly, so he didn't have time to let Hong Chengchou greet him, so he unceremoniously led the chief eunuch directly to the corner of the street, pointing to the east wall of the governor's mansion and a circle of houses outside the east wall.

"All the houses outside the east wall of the Governor's Mansion have been demolished, and at least ten steps must be left to stop the fire from spreading!"

When the eunuch, the leader of the Teng Xiangwei, heard that the houses outside the east wall of the Governor's Mansion were going to be demolished, his eyes were different, but he asked: "The fire is still far away from the Governor's Mansion, and it will be demolished now, I'm afraid it will be ......."

Hong Chengchou abruptly aggravated his tone, "The spread of the fire is unusual, I'm afraid it will burn before the demolition is completed......"

Under Hong Chengchou's repeated insistence, the eunuch, the leader of Teng Xiangwei, was no longer verbose, and led people to tear down the walls and houses. The fires were mainly concentrated in the southeast of the inner city, and the east side of the Forbidden City was separated by a pool of liquid liquid, so the fire could not spread. So the main protection is the Governor's Mansion and the Six Ministries, he anxiously looked at both sides of the long street, at this time there are already many people pouring out of their homes, more and more people on the street, some of them have been burned by the fire, and some have simply come out to see the excitement.

It's not a good thing that so many people are messing around and getting together, and if someone with ulterior motives instigates it, there may be some chaos under the imperial city. Hong Chengchou just wanted to order the forbidden army around him to disperse these people gathered on the long street, but his heart moved and he had an idea.

……

Turg's department is like no one in Datong Mansion, and it is not pleasant to burn and kill along the way.

"Mr. Lu's words are really true, no wonder Baylor values this person so much, if he had listened to his opinion earlier, he might have already fallen under the capital city of the Ming Dynasty by now!"

Talking to himself, the front is the Acropolis, and after a big circle, he finally returned to the starting point, but Hong Chengchou's department, which was chasing all the way, didn't know where he went, so that he didn't have the slightest pressure along the way, and everywhere he went, he just kept repeating the steps and processes of breaking the city and burning these two things that made him a little tired. Except for some small resistance in Hunyuan Prefecture, it can be said that the Ming Dynasty army's appearance was really too bad.

On the one hand, he ridiculed the Ming Dynasty emperor for being stupid and incompetent, and only knew how to appoint some fools in these critical positions, and on the other hand, he sent someone to contact Mr. Lu, whether to directly take down the Zhenwei at the moment, or continue to do the delaying plan to lure the enemy.

Turg spread out the note sent back by the soldiers, and Lu Zhifan's response was also very simple, only four words, "besiege the city and send reinforcements"! His Chinese is not very good, and it took a few good Chinese speakers to translate for him, and he finally understood the meaning.

But then the question also came, who was the reinforcement hitting? He hates the tone of the Han people talking with their heads and tails hidden, in fact, it is self-evident that the only one that can compete with the Qing army at the moment is Li Xin's Three Guards Army.

"Okay, I'll give that Nanban Li Xin a siege to send reinforcements, and let him often be the musket of my Qing army!"

When attacking Hunyuan Prefecture, Turge had an unexpected gain, that is, he destroyed the iron factory established here, and at the same time seized a large number of muskets and ammunition, the power of muskets he had seen, and the previous Ming Dynasty border army was different, as long as the method was used properly, it could shoot continuously, and not like the previous Ming Dynasty border army, on the battle array, after making a salvo, the musket in his hand also completely became a burning stick.

A large number of muskets were distributed to the infantry of the Han army, and they were strictly ordered to use muskets to carry out continuous long-range strikes against the Ming army. This time, the people who accompanied the Turgexi expedition were mainly composed of two parts, one was the Han army flag, but the Mongolian Eight Banners, which were regarded as the second-line troops of the Manchu court, which were very different from the Mobei Mongol coalition army led by Bai Yintu, and were better than it in terms of fighting will and combat effectiveness.

Turg was about to go north to snipe Li Xin, but was stopped by Lu Zhifan.

For this reason, Lu Zhifan was afraid that Turg would not be able to figure it out, so he came to do his work in person.

Lu has worked with Li Xin for many days and understands his temperament. And that Li Xin is scheming, and no one is more suitable to lead the troops to the ...... than Lu."

After the burning and killing of Datong Mansion, he has greatly agreed with the strategy of Lu Zhifan and his people. Therefore, Lu Zhifan easily persuaded Turge.

"Gushan Ezhen can also relax after a long day's work, but remember, when attacking the city, you must accept it when you see it, otherwise if you accidentally capture the castle, then Li Xin will lose his concern, but will deal with it calmly!"

"Well, what Mr. Lu said is reasonable, thanks to the fact that he didn't take down this town guard in one go, otherwise there would be less bargaining chips to restrain that Nanban today!"

Just as Lu Zhifan led his army across the Yan River north of the Acropolis, all the way north, and set up an ambush in the lofty mountains and mountains within the border wall. A cadre of defenders located in the Acropolis of the town was almost completely exhausted.

Chantai's lips were chapped and he lay down on the wall, gasping weakly. All the men in the city who could fight were on the city walls, and every time the Tartars attacked, he thought it would be the last blow, but each time he survived.

At first, he thought that this was because the Tartars had reached the end of their crossbows, and the warriors fought bravely, so they successfully defended the Acropolis at the most dangerous time. But as this kind of Jedi counterattack fluke grew, he finally realized that the Tartar showed mercy at critical moments.

It's unbelievable to do this, how could the Tartars show mercy to their men? After thinking about it a few times, Qian Tai finally realized that what the Tartars were trying to do was probably no longer to capture the Acropolis, so what were they trying to do? He kept asking himself these two days. The soft and painful moans of the wounded soldiers were constantly heard in their ears, and some people kept chanting and praying.

"General, come back quickly and save everyone from fire and water......"

At the mention of the general, Qian Tai suddenly shuddered, and he suddenly fully understood that what the Tartars were trying to do must be the main force of the Three Guards fighting outside the border wall. The reason why he delayed taking the Acropolis was to wait for the general to come back in the starry night, and then take advantage of the situation to sneak attack halfway!

Suddenly, the war drums rumbled outside the city, and the trumpets sounded!

"Qian Zhenfu, the Tartars are attacking again, let's fight!"

Followed by the sound of shouts of killing, Qian Tai supported the broken female wall to support his exhausted and scarred body, and forgot to glance out of the city, only to see the overwhelming Tartars sweeping in. The corners of his mouth suddenly appeared with a resolute smile.

"Qian knows that you are all determined to live and die with the Zhenwei Guard! Now that we're exhausted, we, we might as well just ask for kindness! ”

During the ten-day offensive and defensive battles of the town guards, Qian Tai used his heroic performance to win the prestige of everyone who now obeyed his words. As soon as Qian Tai's words were spoken, the atmosphere on the entire city wall immediately became extremely tragic.

"Send the order down, go down to the city with Qian, go to the school, and the town guards will conduct a final review, and then ......"

Qian Tai is choked up here and it is difficult to speak again!

At this moment in the battle, even a fool can clearly know that if there are no more reinforcements, the guards will not be able to stand it anyway, and the soldiers are silent......

Turg watched from a distance the siege battle that was about to take place in the small castle of Zhenyuwei, Lu Zhifan had not killed all the Ming troops inside in ten days, he decided to make a fierce offensive, and let them not underestimate the Qing army.

This time it was the Eight Banners of Mongolia that had been snubbed by Lu Zhifan for a long time, and as soon as these people received the military order of Ezhen of Turgegu Mountain, they rushed straight to the Acropolis like a fierce tiger, showing their hideous fangs like hungry wolves. From charging to erecting the ladder up to the top of the city, and then to climbing the city wall, the whole process went smoothly and smoothly, and there was no resistance at all.

But when they climbed the wall, they were stunned by what they saw. On the city wall, there are only dead people, where are half living people?

I don't know who led the way and rushed down the city, and then used the fastest speed to break the sand and gravel blocked by the city gate, raised the iron gate to open the gate, and the Mongolian Eight Banners blocked outside swarmed in.

The Acropolis was captured, and it took less than half an hour before and after, until the banner of the Qing army fluttered on the top of the city, and Turg woke up like a dream.
